Hi Massimo and staff,
thanks for iRealb, an amazing software.
Have you got any news about iCloud implementation?
It would be a wonderful and very important feature
Hi Francesco,
We are working on it. Hopefully by the end of the year it will be ready.

ok thanks, good work!
i have the program on my ipad with a bunch of playlists all set up, and i just put the program on my ipod and wanted to get all the same playlists onto it. i assumed since there is a tab for irealb and file sharing (under the ipod's apps), that it would just be a matter of saving the info from the ipad and then importing it to the ipod (since i really don't understand what this whole tab would be for, if not exactly for this sort of thing). apparently that is not the case, since i have done just that and absolutely no playlists or songs are showing up on my ipod. is it really the case that i have to manually add all the various playlists and such to my ipod now?
Use the backup function from your iPad (Hub - Utilities)
Email the backup to your iPod and tap on each playlist to import it.
did the backup on ipad, emailed it to ipod, open in ipod and see no option to click on any playlists. there is a link that says BACKUP, which if i click, opens irealb and it acts like its importing something and then when its finished, i go to playlists/songs and nothing has been changed. there is the word playlists: and after that there is nothing, even though there are a handful of playlists on my ipad. i tried opening in both my mail applications in case that was having some bearing on it, but both do the same...
Have you tried this?
Click on the playlist you would like to export, then go to File - Export - Playlist via email button on your iPad. Go to your emails on the iPhone and try to click on that one. Let me know if it worked.
i already manually did it all, was tired of trying to figure it out
Hi to developers!
I'm sorry for this reminder, do you have any news about iCloud backup?
Good Sunday!
+1, +1, +1
First off, thanks to the developers for a GREAT app. I use it to practice and as a rhythm section at live gigs.
I'm preparing for a cocktail party gig, and while at my day job, I'm working on set lists on my mac at work... updating arrangements, etc. I've bought iRealb for mac, ipad, and iPhone... on the gig I'll be using the iphone to play, and the iPad for my sheet music. In any case, having iCloud sync between all three devices would be a HUGE time saver. So, consider this a plea from a (sometimes :-) working musician for an iCloud sync feature. That would make an already great and useful app even better.
Thanks again!
- Mike.
Thanks to you all for the iCloud bump. We do have it on our list.
:)
I would also be very interested in synching my ipad with my macbook pro. I have irealb on both.
Yes, please, iCould sync, pleaseeeee!! I'm a power user, playing a lot of weddings and corporate events.
Also can we have an option to turn off the player? Sometimes I accidentally double click in the song while transcribing a tune from iTunes and the player starts playing. That makes the player basically my most hated feature of iReal Pro. Also - any chance to change the color scheme of iReal Pro? Having night-blindness issues, I can't see much on the dark bg.....
Yes Please iCloud sync, it would make syncing so much easier. Thanks
1. Cloud sync would be great but I realize that it might pose technical challenges.
2. Using one device as the master is the obvious solution but it doesn't work for me: I do most of my editing on Mac but often modify files during practices - when I also don't have time to email myself the modified file.
3. So, until cloud sync arrives, how about tagging files with 'Last modified' date so that it's possible to work out which device has the most recent modification?
Great app! Love it!
Cheers,
Kevin
This is the procedure I've come to use for chart modification: I made a folder in iReal on my iPod Touch named "To Fix" where I move files that I decide need some tinkering. (In my case, this is on a gig where, even if I wanted to edit on my iPod, I wouldn't have time.) The next day I fix them at home on my iMac, replace the old versions my iPod, delete the old "To Fix" folder and create a new empty one. Certainly less than ideal, but you might move your modified charts into a separate folder just to keep track of them for later reference. Having said that, it's good to know syncing is on the developers' "To Fix" list.
First I have to say: iReal is a wonderful app. It was the most important reason for me to buy my first iPhone, and I really appreciate you guys for making and supporting this app.
I now also have an iPad, and I also have iReal installed on my MacBook. Which brings up the sync issue: I use the iPad mostly for band rehearsals and gigs because of the big screen. I also attend a lot of jam sessions, and bringing an iPhone is much more convenient in those situations. This way, some songs will be added or edited on the iPad while others will be added or edited on the iPhone. It is not very convenient to make a full backup each time you edit a song, so inevitably you end up with different sets of songs in different versions on your iPad and iPhone. This is a real problem, so some form of sync by bluetooth or cable would be a great relief. I'm not sure iCloud backup is a solution, because then you must rely on one of your devices as the master, containing all the correct versions of all your songs. As I write this, I have 2767 songs on my MacBook, 2600 on my iPad, and 2038 on my iPhone. I have no way of knowing what songs are missing from any given device, apart from comparing the songs one by one.
This problem has been solved in the calender apps in iOS and OSX. You can add or change an appointment on your smartphone, and add or change an appointment on your nome computer, and syncing them is done via cable or bluetooth with one click. Same goes for your contacts list. Even my old Sony Ericsson (non-smart) cellphone could do this six years ago. If there is conflicting duplicates on the phone and computer, a dialog box will tell me so displaying the entries in question. If iCal on Mac and Messages on iPhone can talk to each other, why can't iReal on separate devices do it?
Kind regards,
Palm Pilot, 1996?
Possibly different approaches. The Palm Pilot style reconciled conflicting data sets. iCloud apps only have one data set, at least that is my impression. Maybe they just do a better job reconciling, but they certainly seem to try to get to one data set.Quote:

At any rate, there have been a ton of references to customers wanting this sort of sync. I suspect the demand for this kind of blindsided the developers. If you go back a year or two, the comments are like, "But we would need to do this and that..." while most of us are probably thinking, "Whatever, just do it" because we see so many other apps doing it and see IRP as an app that should manage data the same way. But it probably started out with much lower expectations.
FWIW I have the same situation you do, but with far fewer songs. I need to keep my editing to the iPad only, and every now and then I sync that to my phone.
Is there a very easy way to identify on your device which of your charts are custom or customized versions of the standard download sets??
Not that I am aware of.
Subsequent versions of a "title" are automatically added with a "one" appended. ie. song title 1. If, for example, the jazz 1300 playlist was downloaded BEFORE other charts with the same title were added, the "originals" would be the ones without a number (1) at the end of the title. (if your personal chart was added first, it wouldn't have the number)
Some users add a "code" to the title when editing...not a particularly elegant solution.
A dedicated searchable user-tag field would be very useful.

Hi Also have IPad and Mac version and am keen to sync the two.... any updates on this issue admin? This is so important.. please.
We are currently working on new styles for the next update so nothing coming out immediately. We have not forgotten about this however.
Once I have done some edits, I usually send the backup to the other device, and import it after erasing everything (often I will backup before erasing).
I have deleted all songs from iPad and am now trying to sync backup in Itunes App on my Macbook Pro section by loading iRealPro Mac backup.html but not even doing this for some reason?
Dear dflat
I'm your user since the first iOS release.
I still don't understand why this feature, available on all App Store apps SINCE 3 YEARS, is not on the best jazz player software!
However, if it is very very very very very difficult to add, please at least add the possibility (only one button) to save all song in iCloud. Users with manually operation can update or download the song list in all devices.
Thanks
Has there been any update on the Sync question? Such a great app! I would be such a useful feature...
Gad I hate this forum. By the time I finish a complicated post it logs me out.
Long and short. I am being stymied by EMAIL. I want to get stuff FROM the phone and ON to the ipad. I used to be able to do this by emailing stuff to myself then opening email on the ipad. NOW when I try it with the Email option I am unable to insert a destination address. Backup has the same problem. Tried the GMAIL option I can get an email addy in but can't type subject and the send button does nothing. Trying to put it on Facebook causes an error. Emailing works fine from other apps. HELP I have a LOT of mods on my phone. OK Copy paste this in case it logged me out again.
OK I was able to do it a very convoluted way. I shared my playlist to the Sandbox Forum and then logged in from the ipad and touched it and it copied over to the ipad.
Hey guys from iRealPro. Syncing is on your Feature list for nearly 7 Years!! When will we get this feature?
And Please... Everybody else who needs this Feature. Please Post here that you need it. Maybe this will help to speed things sup? More than 6000 Postviews are a definitve statement for this feature.
I would absolutely love this feature as well. Thanks guys!!
This is at the top of my priority list. I absolutely love iReal Pro. I use it every day. Not being able to sync is a BIG problem. I would think this would be a priority looking at all of the messages regarding this. Deleting and restoring is a pain in the rear. How about at least getting this prioritized and a realistic target. It has been a top requested feature for many for years and years.
Incredible, iCloud sync is not available yet!!
Please Massimo, why?? At least give us an answer !
First also: great app! Thanks! But how to sync edited songs between iPhone and iPad? Thanks! Regards, Lucaz
I mail à complete back-up to myself and open it on my iPhone, erasing THE 'old' thing... Not efficiënt But it works... Greets Lucaz
Hi all
I have been a user of Ireal for many years. Great app.
BUT, I can't believe it still doesn't do sync across devices with iCloud or Dropbox or anything.
Please, can this be done. This thread goes back to 2013 where it says it is on the list!
Cheers
Mark
We are working on sync for iReal Pro. Please answer a simple one question survey to help us make the right choices:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XQP6WX2
Thank you!
Any progress on this? It's the single frustrating issue with iReal Pro and is holding it back in the dark ages - how long since everything else just synced? Four years?
