Continual Timeout with Connectivity

AntMartino 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 2
Very Frustrated: App seemed awesome from feedback and reviews but I continue to have ongoing timeout/connectivity issues...
I'm trying to transfer pics while I'm here in Paris from my iPhone 4S to my computer - bother are connected via WiFi (ibahn) so it's the same connection here at the Marriott Rive Gauche. IP Address is (http://10.115.192.94:8080) - connection times out no matter what. I'm a technical person by profession; however I'm in "vacation" mode and I really just wanted a smooth, easy way to get these pics over with a reputable app. A quick and efficient step by step reply from the support team would be more than extremely appreciated. It's 12:45 AM here in Paris and I still have tons of pics to take at the Louvre tomorrow! Please advise...
My apologies for the typo: "both" are connected via WiFi (ibahn), etc...
Dear AntMartino,

Thanks for posting your question here. I will be happy to help you.

Its most likely that the network at your hotel is preventing the communication between devices which is a common thing on hotel or public networks. I would suggest creating an ad-hoc network between computer and device.

To setup an 'ad-hoc' network between your computer and your device. Here are the instructions on how to create an 'ad-hoc' network using Windows 7:

Windows Vista:

Windows XP:

After you create the ad-hoc network on your computer go to your device and using the 'Settings' app join the ad-hoc wifi network that you just created.

After joining the ad-hoc network on your device open 'Photo Transfer App' and you should get a new address that you can use from your computer's web browser to start transferring photos. If you get a 'No wifi connection' message just close the app and wait for a few seconds until the little wifi icon is displayed on the top left corner of your iPad/iPhone.

Let me know how it goes.

Warm Regards,

Amber
