Can't upload pictures with Apple iPad and IOS8

Same here.

I have posted a Tech Support ticket about this with the folks at Hoopla.

Thanks Rich.

Same here. 

It's working fine with my I pad. John.

 

Harry,

 

Did you upgrade yours to iOS 8?

Same here......the pics que but won't load.

.........and the photo stream takes longer to reach both my iPad and Mac via the Cloud....

 

Thanks, Rich

I use my iPod 4 which cannot be updated to IOS 8, so I don't have that problem.

Here's the answer from Hoopla Tech Support...

 

Hi Rich,

 

Thanks for contacting us about this issue. It turns out that this is a bug in Safari on iOS 8. The WebKit developers have acknowledged it, as well:

@BDoma Just a bug we didn’t find in time to make the release. Will be fixed.

 We'll post back here if we have an update on this, but in the meantime, it looks like we are just going to be waiting on a bug fix from Apple.

 

Note that file uploads do seem to work in Chrome on iOS, so you might suggest your users try that as an alternative.

There ya go...it's an Apple problem.

It was suggested on another forum to use the app Puffin to post photos to forums. I've used it for years because it will display sites which use Flash, unlike Safari on mobile devices.

No problems using my Microsoft Surface... yes there are devices other than Apple and Google that work quite well with the forum.

Surface, from the great minds that bought you the Zune (and IE9-11 and windows 8). Glad it works

 

do wish Hoopla would fix the having to double tap on the subject links to open them. They claim its a bug, but after two or three  IOS upgrades since it happened that is no longer a bug, but the way it works. Beside hoopla is the only place I have ever witnessed this problem

So your solution is to buy a Surface tablet for the forum and then buy the iPad for LCS?  I suppose if another site has issues with those two, you'd recommend an Android tablet to handle that issue?

 

In case you didn't get it, that's sarcasm.

Hey now....what's wrong with an Android tablet?  

 

John...you can never have too many devices (or trains.)   Two philosophies I live by.  

I contacted Apple and as Rich said in the post above they know about the problem and a fix is in the works. They should have an update shortly. How short they did not say. 

Chris, I was dragged, kicking and screaming, into buying the iPad.  Now that I have it for LCS, I'd like to use it for other tasks.  I don't want the tablets to become like the box of remotes next to my TV for all the devices, I'd like to use just one!

 

So far I've resisted going over to the dark side. Just like I'd never buy a train that couldn't be upgraded I could never buy a device that I couldn't get my fingers into (rooting and such.)     Hopefully, some day LCS will be available on Android.    It would seem shortsighted on Lionel's part to ignore a big piece of the pie.  

I can't disagree with you Chris, I'd love to see them embrace the Android platform. 

Apple's release of iOS version 8.0.2 from today has fixed the file uploading issue in Safari on iOS.

It's downloading now, we'll see how it goes.

 

looks like it is fixed!

Thanks for the heads up guys. I downloaded the update and picture uploading works now.

There are still number of new "features" that make wish I never updated to 8.0 though and no easy way to go back.  I guess I will have to learn to live with them. Live and learn.

This is all part of the reason I no longer enjoy being a "trailblazer" with the newest releases of technology anymore -- especially firmware and software, where we can usually get by just fine with the existing  release for awhile. 

 

I'm nowhere near "current" on some of my hardware platforms.  The most back-dated is my desktop Mac Pro from 2008 which still has OS 10.6.8 on it , and everything I need to do works just fine.  I apply all the OS "minor release" updates when Apple delivers them -- primarily for security/reliability reasons, but just haven't gotten around to upgrading to higher OS "major" versions.  I suppose at one point I'll get around to it -- most likely when functionality requires it.   There will undoubtedly be a new version of software I'm using that may eventually require OS 10.8 or 10.9.  Until then, why invite issues?  

 

Glad to see Apple fixed the iOS 8 upload problem so quickly though.  That was a glaring error for all you trailblazers.

Let's try mine......

 

.....the picture que's but won't load

Let's see if I can post a picture, yea it works.

Did you download and install the iOS 8.0.2 upgrade? That IS the fix.

For the iPad, you have to go into settings and do the software update to get 8.0.2, then it'll work.
