Ipad #1 can host a session, but ipad #2 cant see the host

GtrGeorge

I use Ipad#1 as the master and Ipad#2 as a slave to just display lyrics and song titles to my partner when we play as a duo. Ive done this before, and it's worked. But now it doesnt. Could it be because the versions differ? Ipad#1 is running ST3 ver 3.6.10 Ipad#2 is running ST3 ver 3.1.2
Here is more information, maybe it will help:
Ipad#1 is a Ipad mini 4 128 GB Ipad #2 is Ipad mini 2 16GB
Apple software 15.4.1 Apple software 12.5.5
Both are using my home wifi
Bluetooth is switched to ON on both ipads
WiFi is switched on for both Ipads
This used to work well when I had a 3rd Ipad in use (but its battery started to go so I took it out of my gigs). So I walked in a backup for it. Maybe that has something to do with it.
ANY help appreciated. I have a gig in 5 days I really ned this to work. Thank You!!!!

GtrGeorge is it possible to update ST3 software to the latest version on both as an immediate fix as this might solve your issue.
And also update your operating system on both devices to be the same if possible or at least to the latest operating system they can go up to, apart from that Peter might help better.

Damir, good to hear from You! Hope you are doing well. Ya know, I did think of that...and unfortunately the highest iOS that the ipad #2 can do is 12.5.7. ST3 is currently requires iOS at a minimum to run. So I cant run the latest ver of ST3 on both and I can't have the same ver of ST3 on both machines. They seem to be 2 different generations of Apple hardware, with inherent limitations. In the end I may have already answered my question here...but I figured it wouldnt hurt to ask smarter people.
I didn't forsee this problem because until last week I used a different ipad as the Master for all my work..but its battery has started to bulge and the unit needs to have that battery replaced. So I am trying to get these 2 to work together.

GtrGeorge yes i have fallen to this apple trick as well i have perfectly working i pad pros that cant work on new operating systems so i bought the new version which then didn't work with the old so i then updated to the latest version to find out it didn't have a headphone jack so they screwed me the second time it seems like we are continually screwed by apple designers that seem to design new products not to help us but to empty our pockets.
I want an i pad with a headphone jack APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING !
Good luck with your problem.
Cheers Damir my wife is using my latest iPad pro im still keeping my iPad with headphone jack up yours apple.

Just a thought, what if you just replace the faulty battery to get things working as normal as possible.

GtrGeorge Version 3.6.7 is the newest version that you can run on iOS12. Please update to that version.

But I think your problem is that you have not allows Stage Traxx to access the network. Please check on all your devices in iPad Settings -> Stage Traxx 3 that network access is enabled.

Damir Damir, I did take that ipad mini2 out of my gigs and had the battery replaced. I used it last night on a gig and it worked perfectly. So...I have that problem solved. But of course, I am always trying to do better and yes..APPLE is focused on emptying our wallets, and NOT on giving Us the best tools for the job. I refuse to use a device with no headphone jack. Wireless connections WILL FAIL. I wont jeopardise a gig with a wireless connestion on my playback unit. I do not expect APPLE to address Us. Their profits were staggering..so I imagine they are doing fine for everyone. (But Us!!!!). Thank you for your interest in my situation. Stay in Touch....If I am in Australia...we will have to have coffee!!

PS: I just heard a nmsician from Sydney called Chris Lanzon. Young guy. I think he has the "stuff" to go far. Are you aware of him? Used to be in a BackStreet Boys type band when younger..but his bio wont reveal their names.

I have reconciled myself that I will have to wait and THEN make a platform jump. But not right now..it will have to wait. In the meantime, It WAS a switch that wasn't thrown that caused to No-Connect. Now that LAN is switched on the ipads see each other and one runs the song titles...so my partner has an idea what song we are playing.

PS: You have done an amazing job with ST3. I cannot thank you enough.

Most definitely George, i am in Adelaide the best city in Australia of course 🤪 look me up on facebook under Damir Romanik , i am off to Italy soon so where about are you in the world? A while back i promised Peter a beer if i ever come his way and thank him personally for ST3 but the world is so damn big and theres so much to see , i was in his part of the woods a few years before ST3 was born.
I haven't heard of Chris Lanzon but will see if i can find him, Australia is so damn big in size and small in population.
I am really looking forward to the new update !
Let me know when you come this way it would be great to catch up .
Cheers Damir
