1. Golf Monthly with Gary Smith
Q. I have no sound, is there a problem with the app?
A. No, but there is a know issue with the iPad if you use the button on the side as a scroll lock. (You can test the sound with headphones).
There is a mute switch on both the iPad 2 and 3, it is located directly above the volume button on the side. This switch also doubles as a rotation lock, depending on what option is set in Settings->General.
The issue is with the configuration of this switch, the steps to reproduce (and fix) is below:
- 1. Open Settings->General and take note of the option selected under "use side switch to:" (you need to scroll down a bit).
- 2. Change the switch on the side so that it is on (orange dot showing).
- 3. Change the selection in "use side switch to:" to mute.
- 4. Change the switch on the side so that it is off (orange dot not showing)
- 5. Try to rotate your iPad....the screen will not rotate!
- 6. Run either of the Gary Smith apps and you will have sound.
- 7. To fix the rotation leave the switch on the side off, then change the selection in "use side switch to:" back to rotation.
Everything should work as normal then.
Basically, if the setting is changed when the switch is on, you will have issues.
Q. Why are there two versions of the app? Are they different?
A. The content is the same, but in the free app you get a sample of the tecnique (bunker play video), and can pay for the other lessons individually. In the full version app, you get all the videos for a discount.

3. SwingPlane and SwingPlane HD
Q. Is there an instruction manual for the app?
A. Yes, available online here .
Q. How do I get the split screen view?
A. Info is on the manual (link above), but press the double screen button at the bottom of the video list, when it turns blue select two videos (these can be in separate folders). The videos will open after you select the second one.
Q. How do I get videos into the app from the videos folder?
A. You need to get the videos into your camera roll on your iPad (not the videos app).
You can do this through iTunes, import/copy the videos into a folder on your mac/pc, add this folder to iphoto, then go to iTunes, sync, and check the include videos checkbox under photos tab then sync your iPad.
If you have swingplane on your iPhone then you can transfer direct from the app over local wifi if your router supports bonjour.
Q. Can I copy the videos to my Mac/PC?
A. Yes, the app is set up file file sharing.
To copy the video from your iPad/iPhone by syncing to your PC/Mac, then in iTunes select the device, go to apps, scroll to bottom of screen and select swingplane/swingplane HD from the list.
You can then add the folder you want to save the files to on your computer.
Please note, you will only be able to send the video and not the shapes.
