I have a subscription to digital copies of Macworld magazine that are provided through Zinio. Can I get those issues in the Macworld Digital Magazine app instead?
No, the subscription processes are different. If you prefer to receive Macworld digitally through this iPad app, you'll need to cancel your existing Macworld subscription (subhelp@macworld.com) and subscribe using the Macworld Digital Magazine app, instead.
All of the text disappeared on the screen. How do I get it back?
Many of the articles have artwork underneath. Double-tapping the text hides the text allowing you to see the underlying image. Double-tapping again brings the text back.
What do I do if I encounter a problem that isn't mentioned here?
Send an email to Macworld.com Customer Service at sitehelp@macworld.com. Please describe the problem with as many details as possible, and be sure to answer the following questions:
- Which model iPad are you using?
- What version of the app are you using?
- What iOS version are you using? (You can find out by going to the Settings app on your iPad and selecting the General option and then the About option. Look to Version on that screen to get the version number.)
- Were other apps running in the background when you first encountered the problem? (To check this, press the iPad's circular Home button twice quickly to reveal your running apps in the multitasking bar at the bottom of the screen.)
- How strong is your Wi-Fi connection? New magazine issues can't download over a 3G connection.
Please don't contact Macworld for questions or technical support about your iPad itself. Since Apple makes and sells iPads, please contact Apple for support issues about the device or iOS.
