Updates to JW Library (iOS, Android, Windows)


Recommended Posts

I no longer have any study notes on my android phone or tablet. Everything is updated. All I have are the cross references and the research guide links. 

 

I do not see them on my Windows 11 laptop, nor on wol.jw.org 

 

What did I do?

Phillipians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.

Did you accidently switch from the Study Bible to the NWT?

I've checked several times to make sure I'm using the correct Bible. 

 

And both phone, tablet, and my wife's phone? 

 

Plus my laptop and wol.jw.org?

I've mentioned that on both surface tablets (Windows 10 and windows 11 type) I have lost ability to tap the Bible text and it shows in right side of app. I still have the ability to tap a publication reference and it will show up on the right side but not the Bible references in a publication like workbook or Watchtower. 

 

Can you share the brief specifications of the devices you have the problem with. 

I wonder if I have same type of device.

Sounds like the same as you. 

 

Windows 11 HP laptop with JW Library 

Android Samsung S22 Edge phone 

Android Samsung Galaxy Tab

Chrome web browser on wol.jw.org 

 

On the android devices I do not see the gem icon next to the Bible book name. I do see the icon on Chrome. However, when I open the Bible chapter I do not see the study notes in the side panel like I did previously. All I see now on the tablet is the marginal references. When I tap a verse it calls up the research guide information. 

 

Not even seeing the study notes online at wol.jw.org is a mystery. That should affect everyone.

There is seems to be a problem on my windows devices with the update. 

 

When I tap / select the linked scripture - it does not show up in the right pane as it used to do. It does nothing when I tap it. 

The A/V brother who is more knowledge than me told me that I would have to go through the process of deleting JW Library off my windows devices and re install them. He said that is what he did to get back the way it was. 

I did that today and my tapping the scripture will show up in the right side as it supposed to. Just have to reinstall all the publications that were deleted in the process.

When I studied for the midweek meeting last week, I put all the answers in my workbook (via my computer) and when I finished studying and scrolled back up - all my answers were gone!  It did this too me twice.  So I finally shut down my computer and restarted it - opened up JW Library and all my notes were there again.  

Don't live for the moment - live for the future! :D

That happened to me too and I found some of my MWM answers in the WT Study

Happened to me too. I just closed the app and restarted it. It was all there.

Is the cyberverse trying to tell you you are a pretty confusing guy ... ? :o

I feel like maybe I missed this happened as I am not doing AV at the meetings as often as I used to (I quickly flipped through this topic but didn't see it).

When you pull up a picture, or video in JW Library, there used to be a little "X" at the top right to close that picture or video, (there was also a minimize button I think too) but now seems to have disappeared...

Am I going crazier than normal or is it gone now?

 

PS: Windows 10 at the hall, Windows 11 at home, multiple computers, same thing for all

I see no way to close the picture now without stopping JW Library.

Is this problem only related to multiple monitors?  When I pull a video up in JW Library on a single monitor the 'x' is still there.  Depending on the source (like starting the video from a link in a publication) there is a little 'arrow' in the upper left corner to take me back to the pub.

I had to use the back arrow in the upper left to stop a picture. I was panicky for a bit how to take it down when requested.  Videos no problem as one can just let it play to it end.

 Personal Greetings from Paul and Kathy Forgive me if I got long winded, there is just so much to share.

Good to know on the back arrow. For pictures I ended up clicking on the meeting tab again, but it stressed me out when there were multiple pictures in a public talk😅

Interesting that the minimize arrow and X to close are there for playlist images.

Yes, there was an update to JWLib where it had changed some features when showung an image in the Media tab for meetings and using second screen. You have to use the ⬅️ (back button) on the top left of the app window header to close the image and go back to the Media List.

 

Also too, you no longer get the small thumb images at the bottom so you could go to the next or previous image whilst showing the current image. I found this annoying as you have to close the image that you are displaying and then select the next image you want. As I was doing sound last night, I showed the second image for the whiteboard part, and when the conductor wanted the next image, I had to close that image which took me back to the Media section, and as there is a slight delay in the Media section to show the videos for that meeting, as I went to click on the third image, the video selction showed up and I ended up clicking on the closing song which started playing. 😡 Whereas before the update, I would use the thumb images to select the next image. Even though there are small little arrows at the bottom of the current image you are showing, if your mouse curser moves off the current image you are showing, they disappear, which then you have to use the back button on top left winder header bar.

 

I found this latest update for this now worse for us who are operating the sound desk.
