hellow again, so I have a MTH wifi unit that I am adding or should I say tring to add, I hooked it up and programmed the IPad and got it connected, added 3 trains and after that it said I need to upgrade the software for the Discovery unit, but it's not a Discovery unit, I deleted it and reset it and still get the same message, any ideas as to why it thinks it's a Discovery ?

Is there a 3 engine limit on the number of engines you can run on it ? I see it is a Discovery, I was confusing it with the smaller exployer
Question #1 are you using the free app? If so there is a limit on the number of engines on your list.
I had it on an IPad and it kept telling me no upgrade, so I put it on my phone and did the upgrade for 24.95, and was able to add all the engines onto my phone, then tried useing my IPad again and it would only see the 3 engines and would not allow me to do more engines, but my phone allowed me to do all the engines, so not real sure why it is happening
so not sure why it is doing this, hoping I don't have to do the 25 dollar upgrade on each device.
Are you using the same Apple ID on both that was used to buy it on the App Store?
No, when I tried to get the upgrade on the Apple IPad it told me nothing was available, then I loaded it on my phone and did the upgrade on that
@Dave the phone guy posted:No, when I tried to get the upgrade on the Apple IPad it told me nothing was available, then I loaded it on my phone and did the upgrade on that
As long as the iPad is on the same Apple ID, go into the MTH App and select
- more (bottom right on the app)
- Upgrade
As long as the iPad is using the same Apple ID the upgrade should load without needing to purchase it again. If I recall correctly this was the path I took to get the premium app. Regardless though once you purchase an App on a Apple ID, it free to devices using the same Apple ID.
That may be an issue, the phone is an android not an IPad and apperantley Safari can not find the page, may just end up getting a new tablet to run it
I think I solved the issue, I just ordered an 8 inch Android tablet for the train layout, so no more issues with my outdated IPad
Android and Apple systems do not interchange.
Yes, I know that and my IPads are older and can not get the latest version, that's why I just ordered a Android tablet to run the trains.
