Guide to Migrating Data from LT (free version) to the Paid Version
- iOS (saved on iCloud)
If you use iCloud data with the paid version, there's no need to migrate data. It will reference the same data. Please make the following selection when you first launch the paid version of the app.
If this option doesn't appear, please restart the app. If it still doesn't work, you need to check iCloud. (Please refer to Q1.)
- iOS (saved on the device)
Connect your computer and device using a cable and use iTunes file sharing to copy the data.
(For Mac OS 10.15 and later, you can copy the data using Finder.)
Refer to "File Sharing via iTunes."
- Android
At the bottom of "Settings" in the App, the path of the save location is written.
Copy the data here using another application that can operate files.
Refer: Android_data migration.pdf
(Since Android 11, copying is not possible due to file access restrictions, but you can access all files by selecting [Settings] of Android, [Storage], and [File]. Rename jp.co.wasabiapps.myinventory to xxx etc. and rename jp.co.wasabiapps.myinventorylt to jp.co.wasabiapps.myinventory to complete the data migration.)
In recent file manager apps, by obtaining permission from users, it has become possible to access the data area for the app. Like before, you can migrate data either by copying the data file or renaming the folder.
How to Use
Q and A
Q1. Database does not exist or there is inconsistency
A. The database file on iCloud may not be synchronized with the database file on the device. Please try the following method.
Synchronize (download) the database file using the Files App.
Launch the Files App. Select the MyInventory folder. If there is a download mark on the right side of data, it hasn't be synchronized. Tap it to download. When finished, close the Files App and restart My Inventory.
There are also the following methods.
Reinstall My Inventory Reinstall the App to fix it. The data is saved in iCloud, the data will not be deleted even if you delete the App.
Q2. I can not press the Edit button.
A. If in sorting, edti button is disabled. Tap the button "A->Z" or "Z->A" on the upper left.From version v1.1, it has become possible to edit while sorting. However, during sorting, you cannot change the order when sorting is turned off.
Q3. The message "The database does not exist or there is an inconsistency" frequently appears. Synchronization does not complete.
A. The situation is that synchronization with iCloud is not working. The situation depends on each individual environment, so it's difficult for us to pinpoint the exact cause. By going to iOS "Settings" -> "Your Apple ID section" -> "iCloud" -> "My Inventory" and turning the switch OFF and then back ON, it's possible to reconnect to iCloud, which may improve the situation. Signing out of iCloud and then signing back in can ensure synchronization with iCloud. (However, please note that this may affect other iCloud-related apps, so consider doing this at your own risk.)If mobile data for iCloud is turned off, iCloud synchronization will only occur when connected to Wi-Fi. This setting can sometimes cause synchronization to take longer than expected.
Furthermore, if you don't require cloud storage, switching to device storage might be a good option. (With device storage, this error will not occur.) Even with device storage, data backup is performed through the overall OS backup.
Q4. Scrolling appears choppy (not smooth).
A. Is the energy saving mode turned on? In energy saving mode, the frame rate is halved, causing actions like scrolling to become somewhat choppy. Turning off the energy saving mode in the My Inventory settings will resolve the issue.Q5. During reinstallation, it gets stuck on "Please wait until the database construction is completed" and doesn't finish.
A. By going to iOS "Settings" -> "Your Apple ID section" -> "iCloud" -> "My Inventory" and turning the switch OFF and then back ON, it's possible to reconnect to iCloud, which may improve the situation. Signing out of iCloud and then signing back in can ensure synchronization with iCloud. (However, please note that this may affect other iCloud-related apps, so consider doing this at your own risk.)If mobile data for iCloud is turned off, iCloud synchronization will only occur when connected to Wi-Fi. This setting can sometimes cause synchronization to take longer than expected.
Q6. I don't understand how to share data among family members.
A. You can automatically share data using iCloud's file-sharing feature. Please refer to the following steps. (For the Android version, sharing is only possible by manually copying the data file.)「うちメモのデータを家族間など別のデバイスと共有する方法」(PDF 726KB)」
