24.1 Backup your data To save your data from SongBook to your computer, connect your iPad to the computer, start iTunes and follow the steps below:
I think Songbook+ is a good app for sheet reading but why hasn’t it been updated over all these years, still saving to "iTunes", I have been in contact with Baum requesting an update so we can save to ‘iCloud’, that was over 2 years ago but nothing has been updated.
Why do we need to connect to a PC and then open that horrible iTunes when there are so many easy to save ‘cloud’ options available.
Is there a way to save files without connecting to a PC ?

Hi Pino,
the easiest way to exchange data between a computer (PC / Mac) and Songbook+ is the option "
Share folder via Wi-Fi":
1. Make sure that the iPad and the computer are connected to the same Local Network (to your Wi-Fi Router).
2. Touch the ••• symbol in the status bar of Songbook+, then touch the option I mentioned before.
3. On PC open the Windows Explorer (File Manager), right-click on "This PC" (in German "Dieser PC") and select "Map Network Drive" (in German "Netzlaufwerk verbinden").
In the window "Map Network Drive":
4. (optionally) Choose a Drive Letter, e. g. "S"
5. In the field "Folder", now type in the URL that is displayed in Songbook+ (from step 2), somewhat like
http:\\192.168.x.yyy:8080(Do not forget the string ":8080", which is the Port number for this IP-based connection!)
6. Click on "Finish" button (in German "Fertig stellen").
7. Now the new Drive letter should be displayed in Windows Explorer. Click on it, and you should see the content of the App Folder of Songbook+.
8. Simply copy & paste new files (e. g. PDFs) to this window OR copy the complete content of this window to backup Songbook+
9. To terminate the connection between Songbook+ and Windows, simply touch
outside the message window "Share Songbook+ folder via Wi-Fi" on the iPad.
10. Please also refer to Chapter 16 in the Songbook+ User Manual V3.3 (page 29).
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
