Troubleshooting
  • Username/Password issues: The username is case-sensitive and cannot contain a space. The newer version (April 2, 2012) desktop app checks for this issue but older versions and the iOS app does not validate this. Will be fixed in a future release of the iOS app.
  • Ensure that the HTTP Service on the desktop app shows the status of "Started". If not, the iOS app cannot connect. 
  • The desktop app requires the port 48080 to be available to start the HTTP service. 
  • Try "Restarting Services". Sometimes if the desktop app is running for a long time, the IP address expires and must be renewed. The newer version of the desktop app (April 2, 2012) solves this issue. 
  • Check that you have entered the IP address correctly on iOS devices.
