Highlights Bookmarks etc. didn't migrate to new iPad

#1

The subject line says it all. When I transferred content from my old iPad to the new iPad none of my highlights/bookmarks/etc made the transition. Is there any way to get all that information back?

If you were signed in to your LDS Account on Gospel Library on your old device, then your highlights/etc. should have been synced to LDS.org. You can check that by signing in to LDS.org on a browser and then going to the Notes feature under "My Account and Ward".

If your notes appear on LDS.org, then all you should need to do is to sign in on Gospel Library on your new device and then your highlights/etc. should sync from LDS.org to your new device.

If your notes are not on LDS.org, then you should go back to your old device and sign in on Gospel Library in order to sync your highlights to LDS.org.

Had to change to a new ipad. I've synced my old ipad and my iPhone. I can see my highlights, etc on those devices and in LDS.org. I still don't see them on my new ipad. Does the syncing to a new device take time? If so, does the syncing run in the background or do I need to leave the ipad on and opened in the Gospel Library app? Thanks! (I'm a heavy user of the Gospel Library, lots of notes, highlights, etc.)

This may sound too obvious, but double check that you're signed in to your LDS Account in Gospel Library on your new iPad. It may have migrated the app, but not the account sign in.

If you create an annotation on your new iPad, does it sync up the other direction (can you see annotations from your new iPad on LDS.org)?

I'm having a similar problem - I got a new iPhone 7 over the weekend and it won't load my bookmarks even though I can see them on my iPad.

Never mind. I finally deleted the Gospel Library app then re-installed it again and now everything shows up.

I did the same thing - deleted it and reinstalled and now it works.

Yep, deleting the gospel library app and reinstalling works.

I'm guessing it doesn't like restoring from an iCloud backup.
