Please send me IOS Crash logs!
A couple of users have reported Tunepal crashes on IOS when the app is connecting to the server to perform a search. If this happens can you please email me (skooter500@gmail.com) your IOS crash log file as this will help me track down the problem? This is an article which explains where to locate it:

Thanks to those who emailed me their crash logs. I tracked down the bug to a date formatting issue on iPhone, but I’ve put in a workaround on the server so Tunepal tune searches should now be working again for everyone!

Server upgrade successful!
I had the memory doubled on the tunepal.org server and it has been stable now for the past four weeks – serving over 14,000 tune searches without a hitch! Thanks to my hosting company webworld.ie

Suddenly Tunepal has been playing in an odd key. I have checked fundamental and it is at D and the transcription is at 0 semitones. I hadn’t fiddled within or changed any iPod settings. Any advice? Thank you very much.

Hi Connie!
On the preferences screen you can set the Transpose option. Is that it? Setting the Fundamental has no affect on playback

Hello Bryan
I have downloaded the App twice for my iPod 4. On both occasions the app fails to search either recording or by tune title? Please help

Hi David
Just to double check! You need an active Internet connection to search. Can you let check that?

Thanks for replying Bryan.
As you can see this is sent from the iPhone on a good wi-fi connection. Anything else you could suggest would be gratefully received

I’ve no idea. I just tested a fresh download from the app store on an iPhone 4 and it worked fine for me. Can you please give me some more information about the problem you are having?

Hi Bryan
an update on my last message
I have just tried to record a tune and instead of the app closing a message has appeared stating a connection problem with the code
NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 4.
Does this add anything

Hi David
That error means that Tunepal cant connect to tunepal.org to do the search. I guess it could be a DNS issue with your ISP. I know the server is up and I’ve tested a connection from several iPhones. Can you please try and go to http://tunepal.org in Safari on your phone and see if you can connect? You might also try a wi-fi in addition to 3G and let me know if it works. FYI: There were 244 iOS queries yesterday and 113 so far today. Im really puzzled as to why it wont work for you!

Hi Bryan,
First I want to say thank you for a great app- I can’t believe how useful it is!! However,everytime I’ve tried to download it from the android marketplace (I’ve tried several different times over the past few weeks), it says there is a server error. I dont know if you’re aware of this. I’ve managed to get it from the slideme market place, but it is the old version 1.081 and doesn’t support offline identification of tunes, which for me is very important.
Is there any way of upgrading the app, as I still can’t get the new version? Very best wishes,
Joska-

I’ve sent you a direct download link. Let me know if it works ok for you

I’ve had your app for a few months now but hadn’t really ‘used’ it until yesterday while in a band tune jam. One of our hammered dulcimer players ripped into an Irish polka but couldn’t remember the name. I doubted that a single dulcimer would pick up enough to record in Tunepal. I was amazed when my I tried it and after the third try (user error
it came back with great results. Today as I was looking over the tune in the app, I realized all of the wonderful options there were from playing the tune, emailing it, finding it on YouTube to name a few. GREAT APP!-

Memory issues on the tunepal.org server
Just to let you know if you have occasionally been getting “Tunepal cannot connect to the tunepal.org server” error messages, it’s due to increasing demand on the search server. The server occasionally runs out of memory trying to service too many requests at the same time and crashes. I have been hard at work trying to find ways to manage the memory on the server more efficiently and also I am increasing capacity on the server to handle the increased load. I appreciate your patience!

Just downloaded to my iPod touch and I can’t even open it!

If its an old model iPod touch (one without a microphone) then you need to plug in a microphone to make Tunepal work. Thats usually the problem

Awesome, it works. Thanks!

Just made a little change to the matching engine to make it more efficient with memory… Hope that fixes the problem and doesnt screw anything else up

Please can u tell me why this app not working on my iPhone it keeps saying unable to connect domain error 4

Hi
I just tested everything and it seems ok in my end. Can you do two things:
1. Make sure you have updated to the latest version of the app. Go to the App Store, click on updates and see if Tunepal is listed. If it is, tap on it to install the update
2. Make sure you have an internet connection when you do a search
Let me know if that works
Bryan
