One possible reason the device can't be found is because your router or firewall is blocking the port that iSlips is trying to communicate on. To test if the port is being blocked follow these steps:

• Within iSlips go into the Synchronize Data screen.
• Select the Wireless option and press Start.
• Above the Start button iSlips will display the IP Address & Port Number (ex. http://192.168.115.96:50816).
• On the computer you are trying to sync with, enter in the IP Address & Port Number (including http://) into your web browser and hit Enter.
• If a web page appears that says Files from you know that the port is open for communication.

If the port is not open for communication you must open up the port number (ex. 50816 in the example above) within your router and/or firewall. You can also change the port iSlips is using by following these steps:

• Within iSlips go into the Synchronize Data screen.
• Select the Wireless option (make sure a sync is not being attempted)..
• Select the Settings icon in the lower left of the Synchronize Data screen.
• Within the Set Port Number screen, set the port number to one you know is open for communication.

The TSDBAP32.DLL (and TSDB0132.DLL) are part of the Timeslips API (Application Programming Interface) and are typically installed as part of Timeslips. iSlips Sync uses the Timeslips API to access your Timeslips database. Almost all errors related to TSDBAP32.DLL are around either the API files could not be found or they are the wrong version.

Normally the Timesilps installer will install TSDBAP32.DLL & TSDB0132.DLL into your C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWoW64 (64bit Windows) folder. To fix most problems follow these steps:

• Locate the TSDBAP32.DLL & TSDB0132.DLL files, typically found in your Timeslips folder (ex. C:\Program Files\Timeslips), and copy them into your C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWoW64 (64bit Windows) folder.
• After copying the files, reboot your computer.
• If this does not fix the problem you may need to re-install Timeslips and potentially follow the previous steps if the Timeslips Installer did not install the API files into your C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWoW64 (64bit Windows) folder.

Over the course of time your device can start to have memory issues. Shutting off the device is not enough to clear the memory issues. To clear out the memory you need to do a hard restart by follow these steps:

• Hold down the Power and Home buttons.
• Ignore the slide to power off option when it appears.
• Release the buttons when you see the Apple logo.
• Attempt the sync again.

• Hold down the Power and Volume Up buttons.
• Release the buttons when the screen goes black.
• Press and hold the Power button until the device starts up.
• Attempt the sync again.

If you are seeing an error message (CRITICAL, etc) it's possible that the settings files for iSlips Sync have become corrupted. To fix the problem, delete the contents of the \Documents\iSlips Sync\Settings\ folder. After launching iSlips Sync, you will need to establish your settings before syncing.

Yes iSlips does allow multiple timers. By default iSlips is set to not allow multiple timers. To turn on multiple timer follow these steps:

• Select the More tab.
• Select the Settings option.
• Turn on Allow multiple timers.

iSlips supports most of the same fields that Timeslips does, with the only exceptions being Time Estimated, Markup, and Adjustments. When slips are created during the sync process, it will still apply any defaults you have setup for Time Estimated, Markup, and Adjustments.

In order to hide or show fields follow these steps:

• Select the More tab.
• Select the Settings option.
• Select the Show slip fields option.
• Check or uncheck the fields you want to appear on slips.
• Select Save.

Yes iSlips does support Automatic Rate Selection Rules during the creation of the slips as part of the sync process. Due to limitations of the Timeslips API (Application Programming Interface) iSlips can not reflect what the rate will be.

iSlips reflects all rates for all rate sources, allows the selection of any rate, and the ability to enter in a custom rate.
