I just bought Index Card for the iPad app and getting to know its sync functions. In the midst of the process, my iPad got updated to the newest version.
I’m trying to follow the YouTube tutorial for syncing Scrivener with my Index Card collection but when it came time to choose (in Scrivener) Sync > Index Card for iPad, my iPad had updated and it now only offers Sync > Index Card for iOS.
If I choose Index Card for iOS it says “no collections found” despit the fact that I do have a DropBox folder with both a .rtf and a .indexcard file in it.
I’m not sure if the update has anything to do with it or if I’m doing anything wrong. Any ideas for me?
Pretty sure you just need to select what you want to sync in the Binder and create a new collection. Then, use that collection for syncing to Index Card from Scrivener. For syncing initially from the other direction (IC to Scrivener) I think you would need to import a Index Card project that has been exported in a format Scrivener can import.
Sorry for the late reply. It says “for iOS” now because since the video tutorial, Index Card got an iPhone app, so “for iPad” was no longer accurate.
Anyway, RobertB’s answer was spot on. It doesn’t matter which way you are going, you need to create a collection in Scrivener first that can receive your index card sync. So, simply create a Collection in Scrivener and try again, and it will work.
