Problems with access to forum via Tapatalk


idwilson

Recommended Posts

After three years of successfully accessing this forum using Tapatalk, yesterday I started to get problems logging in.  First I received an "Are you xxx with email address yyy?" message, but thereafter I received a pageful of undecoded HTML every time I attempted to log in.  Thinking that there might be a password problem, I told the forum that I had "forgotten" my password (via a browser, as the Tapatalk password reminder mechanism failed) so that a new password could be allocated.  This done I can successfully log into the forum from a browser, but Tapatalk gives me the message:

 

Log In Failed

The operation couldn't be completed (Forum SSO error 2)

 

Thinking that this might be a problem with older software on my iPad (running iOS 9) I tried to access the forum from my iPhone (running the latest iOS 11).  Both behaved identically.

 

Any ideas?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Ian.

Sorry folks – my fault, I didn't keep you up-to-date.

The GDPR, especially the German flavor DSGVO (Datenschutzgrundverordnung), keeps my busy (and is driving my crazy).
So I forgot to inform you here...

Long story short:
New privacy regulations go active on May 25th, relevant for everything related to processing of personal data.
This is what I do here with your email addresses etc. so this is very relevant for all of my forums.
Fines go up to 20 mio Euro...

I have to make sure that your personal data are protected from unauthorized access, for example by signing contracts with companies like my hosting provider.

Tapatalk had far-reaching access to the forum database but…
- doesn't offer such a contract
- is not compliant to EU privacy norms
… and wasn't very open to questions (to say the least)

Thus I'm running an immense risk if I continue to run Tapatalk.
I'm planning the update to a new forum version which brings much better support for mobile access but I can't promise an exact date.

Again: Sorry for the late information but this is an existential risk for me.

Andreas,

 

Many thanks for the information.  I should have realised that the problems might be related to GDPR...  :)

 

I'll access the forum via a browser in the meantime, but an iPad-friendly mechanism in the future would be very much appreciated.

 

All the best,

 

Ian.

Seems like Tapatalk have solved the GDPR issues.

 

I am using the mobile browser interface for once now to access this forum. But IMHO it is pretty awkward compared to the Tapatalk app.

 

I hope this will be solved at some point. Until then I go back to "Winterschlaf". Fortunately there still is another similar forum which does support Tapatalk, so it's not a cold turkey experience.

OK CHROME easy access....automatically with my user name; like now

 

NOT OK: WINDOWS EXPLORER access denied; site requesting EMAIL /  Password; account not known.

 

Prefer to use WINDOWS EXPLORER with Trusteer Protection anti-virus included.

Sorry no news and – sorry again – I'm not going to install Tapatalk again.

I had so much trouble with the Tapatalk guys, thus I have no more trust in this company that I open access to our database with a lot of sensible data.

I know that some of you will be really annoyed, but I prefer to be clear in this matter.

    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
