C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 My Kindle has started to act funny. It's working fine, but some features are no longer there. I tried to activate Social Networks, and only Twitter is offered, Facebook has disappeared. On top of that Twitter is not even working, as in I can't configure it. The Twitter page that it"s trying to load fails and Kindle says "Your Kindle is unable to load the requested page" . However the experimental web browser works just fine, so it's not an internet connection problem. Second weird problem, if I get a book A on Amazon.com, and I send it to my Kindle, I get it just fine. If I get book B and send it to my iPad, that's also ok. Now, from my iPad, I can request book A, but I cannot request book B from the Kindle. it just doesn't show up. The iPad, the Android, the mac and Pc will show me all books I have in my cloud, but not the Kindle. I'm running the latest version of the OS, I've restarted the Kindle. Still no go. Anyone?

MtnMama Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Have you tried posting on the Kindle help forum on Amazon? There are some true power users there who make great suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 MtnMama, I've never found the Amazon kindle forums to be useful. Bu maybe I wasn't at the right place. Woud you have a link? WendyK, yes, I went back to factory settings. It didn't fix anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMA Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Are the date and time correct on your Kindle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 LMA : you're magic! My time was one hour off. Now why would that change my social networks, I have no idea. Instead of going directly to Twitter, it now showsmw the option of choosing between Twitter and Facebook, and it works! You're marvelous!

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Are the date and time correct on your Kindle? Ok, The social networks issue is fixed, but not the cloud issue, When I go to "archived items" I do not see my whole collection on Amazon. Also, when I want to see my other devices, it only lists itself and my PC (it should also list the iPad, the Mac and 2 cell phones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMA Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Did you restart the Kindle after changing the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 is it possible that the Kindle does not have access to the Kindle Cloud? And only Archives? Maybe those are two different beasts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMA Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 You probably have to sync your Kindle. I would restart and sync it with a USB cord to your Amazon account. The archived items are in your Kindle Cloud in some fashion as well as the other stuff you are looking for. Not having the correct date and time does affect what you can see. Not sure why.

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Ok, I restarted the Kindle, and also realized that in Archives, the titles are listed by Author or by Title, not by most Recent. Of course, those I wanted were listed on page 6 and more... So maybe they were there all along, and I just didn't realize it. Stupid user error ;-) (to my defense, I would claim this as a User interface error, as they should be listed by Most Recent too, for consistency) Thanks for your help !
