I went into iNewStand, and they were all listed straight-away. Great, I thought. So I selected all, and sync!, and it seemed to be busy. I clicked "Downloads" to watch the progress and the application ended and returned me to the Newspapers lister.

I clicked on it to reenter it to see what is going on, but this gave an extra entry on the Main Newspapers listing saying just "iNewstand Error" with a X close button and an empty window. The green LED is still flickering like mad, so I assume it is busy getting my stuff, but I don't understand why i can't see how it is doing.

Should the downloads be visible on the Newspapers listing (that's where I put iNewsStand), or in mobipockets folder?

Anyway I've left it with the green LED still flickering away. Not sure how long to leave it before getting worried.

[EDIT]

Ah, it looks like it might just have been waiting for me to click the X to get rid of the Error window. When I did that it went quiescent again, so I re-ran the iNewsStand. I selected only the two News feeds in Mobi format and "Sync!", and I now see both listed in the Downloads tab, one "Downloading 0%" the other "Waiting ...". I don't know how to tell whether anything is actually happening. The geed LED is just off as is the wireless icon bottom right.

[FURTHER EDIT]
The display is static at "Downloading 0%" and 2Waiting ..." until I clikc "Refresh". Then they both go to "Downloaded". So I think, "good", and clikc Exit.

The BBC file is now there, but it doesn't show in the list till I press "News" again. I haven't yet found the iLiad reader news feed ...

Regards

Pete
