Transfering data between my Mac and iPhone (WiFi Sharing)

Transferring data between my Mac and iPhone is not working consistently enough to be useful. For ex. I was able to "Share a Book," make an edit on my Mac, "make an edit on my iPhone," and then after making another edit on my Mac when I tried to save the file in Text Edit so that I could send it back to Notebooks I got the error message, "The document does not exist." Obviously it exists, I had just been working with it. I then have to reboot my computer to clear whatever parameters have become problematic.

Similarly, any document I've imported from my Mac is uneditable in Notebooks. And, then I lose the ability to import 'anything.'

Hi Roger,

the error message you get from TextEdit is easy to explain: when you stop sharing in Notebooks, you turn off the "server" that TextEdit is connected to. Even if you start sharing in Notebooks again, TextEdit has lost its connection. There is nothing that Notebooks could do about this. - What you should do is close the document in TextEdit, eject Notebooks in Finder and reconnect. Then TextEdit will have a valid connection again. There is no need to restart you Mac.

It has been described and discussed many times already that Notebooks can only edit plain text documents. If you import rtf, doc, html etc, you will not be able to modify them in Notebooks. - This is not our "idea", we are just limited by the iOS.

Best,
Alfons
