I have opened the GPX version of the file in Google Earth but have been unable to open the other version on the PC. Has anybody found a solution please?

The Outlook mail changed the .flighlog attachment to a .txt extension and was unuseable. However the Camail attachment retained its .flightlog extension and is visible and useable when saved into the Logs folder. Hope this may help, Tags IPAD Flight log transfer

It may be that if you rename the files with .flightlog then SD will recognize them. Eric As long as you get the appropriate apps from the apple store, you can transfer iPad documents and things using itunes to/from an pc. The data files are transferred as part of the app backup but it's not like a memory stick where you just transfer files backwards and forwards outside of the opearting system. And you can How to Recover Deleted Files from iPad. Edited 1/11/2013 3:33:56 AM by thankershow

It needs also to install FileApp on the Ipad. You can choose your files, make folders and sub-folders, etc and you don't need Itunes at all. Tags DiskAid FileApp
