The first time I used the Dropbox button in the deck builder it took me to a page asking if I authorized the app. I clicked yes. Now when I press the dropbox button nothing happens. It just stays pressed.

Does it freeze up the app too? A lot of the new buttons throughout the app have been doing that. Well two I think. The action button in the forums and the private needed and precious button in settings.

I just backup to Dropbox and it worked well try restarting your iPod it might help

Valthonis

No the app doesn't freeze up. Nothing really happens except the button stays like its being pressed. I tried restarting my iPhone a few times.

It could just be taking a little while to process. How long are you letting it go for before resetting?

Valthonis

I've let it run for a good 5 mins. Should I wait longer? Is it only used for backing up or can I import a txt or dec file as well?

BlackJester

No, I think five minutes is too long. Unless you have a really slow Internet connection.

Valthonis

Yea I thought so too. My Internet is fine.

Did u install the dropbox? If yes, try to reinstall and reauthorize, and if not, well, install it

Valthonis

Yes I have the Dropbox app and an account. I have not uninstalled/reinstalled iMtG yet. I paid for the full app but haven't synced my phone yet. I'm afraid I'll lose what I bought since I haven't synced yet.

No u wont lose it. But i was talking about reinstalling dropbox. If u reinstall imtg though, look in help for how to have ur full app back (you'll have to do it even if you synce)

My drop box does not work instantly with any app. I have to wait for it to "sync". Even tho my taskbar icon shows it updating (pc) the folder contents don't change. Last night I tried something new.

First I had to authorize this app to use drop box. After that I unplugged my iPhone. Next I closed iTunes. Then I plugged my iPhone in which launched iTunes (iTunes option setting) and then went into app and chose the dropbox backup. It only took a moment. Then I synced my iPhone. Another moment later it showed in my folder.

Try that method.
