StarWalk no longer supports iPad wifi or iPod Touch

On April 30 an update to StarWalk for iPad was released that disabled the applications use of the internal compass for wifi only iPads. On May 1 an update to StarWalk for iPhone was released that disabled the internal compass for iPod touches. There was no announcement of this from Vito and their sales site still lists all devices as supported. Vito generally does not reply to support issues, but if you are lucky enough to get a response from them you will simply be told that these devices have a "flawed" magnetometer and the issue is not related to their software (although the application worked on April 29 and stopped working with their next release).
If Vito simply would have written on their site that they had released an update that (for some reason) disabled functionality on any wifi-only devices and that they apologized to those people and hoped someday to come up with a fix for them (if at all possible) I probably would have let it go. But the fact that they just said nothing, only responding that wifi-only devices are "flawed" (as of April 30) and its not their fault, and continue to sell their software to wifi-only customers really bothered me - so I applied for a refund (and apparently so did many other people).
I think a little customer service goes a long way. Vito (which is located in the Ukraine) has no customer service. If their customer service was even a tenth of their product innovation they could have kept my money.

Dear gigasurus,
On Vito Technology Facebook page, blog and twitter we've made an official answer to all complaints.
I just wanted to repeat it here as well:
Recently we’ve got numerous complaints from our users about the bug connected with magnetometer on iPad devices. It took us quite long time to figure out the problem.
Finally we managed to fix that and we’re preparing to upload a new version of Star Walk that will see not only bug fixes but quite few nice features that you’ll definitely like. Look out for new updates!

  • My ical in my Macbook Pro is not in sync with my Ipad 2 and Ipod touch. What can I do?

    Please help,
    Every time I use my Ipad 2 or my Ipod Touch to enter an event or an appointment to my ical, either one of them will show the event or appointment as soon as they are connected over WiFi. The same event will not show up in my ical in my MacBook Pro. I tried to sync them and nothing. I double check to make sure all the features in all 3 (MacBook Pro, Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch) are set with the same features and nothing. My ical in my MackBook Pro will not sync with the events in my Ipad 2 or my ipod Touch. Now, if I type the event in my MacBook Pro ical, and sync my Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch, then I have the events or appointments are recorded. But, many times, I do not carry my MacBook Pro with me, and I missed an appointment for example. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • ITunes 8.1.1 no longer recognizing either of my iPod Touch 2g devices

    Okay, no idea what I did or what changes have occurred but today iTunes 8.1.1 stopped seeing my iPod Touch 16GB 2g. I rebooted the Mac. I rebooted the iPod Touch. I tried connecting my iPod Touch to my wife's Windows computer… where it was recognized correctly. Later, after hard resetting my iPod Touch to factory default (knowing my back up was a week old, should have created a new account on the Windows machine and backed everything up but didn't think to do that) and trying it again on my Mac to no avail I got the idea to try to connect my wife's iPod Touch 2g to my Mac. It wasn't recognized at all. iTunes didn’t see a thing. I tried different iPod cables. I tried using a different USB port on my Mac. I tried that while having no other USB devices plugged in.
    I tried deleting iTunes and the two files in \System\Library\Extensions and \Library\Receipts that I read about in some support option here on the Apple website. Rebooted. Re-installed iTunes 8.1.1... nothing. For either iPod. Rebooted. Nothing. Tried both iPods on my wife's Windows computer… it sees each fine.
    It appears to be an issue with my Mac Pro and not iTunes or either of my iPod Touch devices but I figured my question belonged here anyway. I've put hours into trying to figure this out and I'm at a dead end. What the heck else can I try with my Mac?

    No, I checked after reading your reply and none of my other USB devices work. I tried booting from the installation DVD while holding 'd' a few times and finally noticed that it's the Application Installation disc that is supposed to be used for that. So I tried booting with that disc in and holding 'd' and it never would go into hardware diagnostics. I tried four or five times. Holding 'd' before turning on my system until I saw the regular log in screen. Booting then holding 'd' down. Over and over.
    I'm not sure what the heck is wrong with that. I am using a Mac keyboard and mouse with the system so it should work.

  • I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

    I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
    I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
    Any Ideas?

  • I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I need help!

    I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via Bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I also tried connecting them with my Bluetooth enabled laptop but it also didn't worked. Because of the Bluetooth not working I also can't enable airdrop.

    What model iPad?

    AirDrop requires:
    What you need
    To share content with AirDrop, both people need one of these devices using iOS 7 or later, or a Mac with OS X Yosemite:
    iPhone 5 or later
    iPad (4th generation or later)
    iPad mini
    iPod touch (5th generation)
    You also need to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If you want to share with your contacts, sign in to your iCloud account.
    Learn more about using AirDrop to share with people using a Mac with Yosemite.
    Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content - Apple Support
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
    For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector.

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

    Is there a way to stream music from my iPad to my iPod touch?  I have an iPod touch that I never use anymore since I got the iPad; so connecting the iPod to my stereo would be the best solution for me.

    OK.
    But it still doesn't do what you want.

    Thanks Tgara.
    Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
    Argh!
    I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
    Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

  • HT201269 How can I sync my notes from my iPad to my iPod Touch?

    I just bought the iPod Touch 5th Generation.  I want to sync my Notes from my iPad to my iPod Touch.  I cannot figure out how to do it.

    See:
    iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    That get all info transferred (except for iPad apps not compatible with the iPod)
    For Note only, just use the same Apple ID for Settings>iCloud make sure that Notes is turned on in Settings>iCloud.
