docked iPad loses sync
nottooloud:
My third DL sat over in the corner of the room with my original iPad in it running audio for the last week week solid. It resynced repeatedly, but always recovered. Seems clear to me that there is something in the communication code that is borderline. Variance in the hardware either slides too far off the edge or doesn't. If you're a lucky one with good hardware, and you don't stare at your DL nonstop, you might well never notice the resyncs. Dialog box pops up for a second and goes away. So, my recommendation is that if you have one that drops sync and doesn't recover, send it back and get one that doesn't.

My 1st gen docked ipad lost sink twice last night and wouldn't recover unless I shut down the master fader app. Both times it happened when I transitioned from break music through iPad channel.to our live set music. No meters, no response from fader adjustments. All other wireless devises worked without interruption.

I think by now we can conclude that 1st gen iPads are not usable for docked service and will never be. Apple has decided that 1st gen's for iOS 7 are to be replaced so any fixes or updates to MF won't run on them. If mixed version MF's are a problem as seen in the past we can also conclude that un-docked service will also be broken unless Mackie decides to make it backward compatible. x(
Does anyone here have a Lightning (N) connected unit? Since there is a bunch of electronics in the communications path it may be a solution to sync if it's hardware related. This of course would mean upgrading to V4 or Air for the docked iPad. ;D

Mackie haven't decided to stop supporting the Gen1 iPad, I believe it is simply that Apple have stopped allowing non-iOS7 apps to be on the app store (somebody correct me please if I'm wrong).

Are we sure that the lost sync problem is limited to 1st gen iPads? I just want to make sure because iPads are not cheap. I have used the DL for about 6 shows plus practices and last show was the first time this has happened. Anyway as professionals, one lost connection is enough...can't have this happen again.
