This will be addressed in a future version of Dive Log on iPhone, but for now you will need to get the appropriate IP address from the main Settings app, however, the Port number presented by Dive Log will be correct. Note that if you are attempting to connect over a VPN the IP number offered by Dive Log will most likely be incorrect.
You’ll want to enter these numbers into the appropriate fields of Dive Log Manager’s manual connection sheet and then tap “Connect”. By default, Dive Log Manager is shipped with the Manual Configuration option turned off, so you will need to open Dive Log Manager’s Preferences (from the main menu) to enable this option: Manually configuring your connection requires some additional steps beyond connecting using Bonjour. The new manual connection feature of Dive Log Manager enables you to enter your iPhone’s IP address and Port number directly so that you can by-pass Bonjour to establish a connection.
Some situations where Bonjour will not provide the required information for your Mac to see your iPod are: if your router does not have the required support (some older routers do not support Bonjour) if your router or firewall blocks Bonjour if your iPhone and Mac can not be on the same subnet (see the FAQ & Tips page for more information) or if you are connecting using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect your iPhone to your local network. Bonjour works well for most users, but there are some less common network configurations where Bonjour will not work to configure the connection between the Mac and your iPhone. This release adds support for manually connecting to your iPhone or iPod touch, enables enhanced importing of location (Dive Site, City and Country) information from compatible applications and file formats and improves the importer for MacDive by adding support for importing GPS location information and weight data.ĭive Log on iPhone and Dive Log Manager normally “find” each other using Apple’s Bonjour zero-administration network configuration technology.
We are constantly working to improve Dive Log Manager.
Dive Log Manager is a free application for Mac OS X that is designed specifically to allow you to manage your logbooks between your Mac and Dive Log on iPhone.
