Just did latest update to the GOPRO Hero 3 and couldn't get devices to log in to the GOPRO with the App. Went back to update, changed the name and password and devices now asked for password and connected.

Dear Anne

I have exactly the same problem. I reinstalled the GoPro software three times, changed the password and

nothing happened. I tried to connect it to my iPad, IPhone running OS 6.1.3 ... Nothing password rejected.

Tried to connect to my wife's iPhone OS 5, nothing. But when I tried to connect it to my laptop, just to see if the

Laptop accepts this connection... Well it worked.

So right now I also don t know the solution, but for me it looks like an installation error by go pro. previously my camera worked on my devices. By watching the opinions about the go pro support speed I guess next eastern we will have an upgrade...

Next step is that I try to make the upgrade not through Safari,let's see who knows...

So anyone solved this problem pease help. It' s quite stupid to have to great devices, which should communicate but....

Hi

I did this now the 4 th time. Always changed everything. Even used a very easy pasword gggggggg,

Now I even did a manual download, reformated the disc before installing it. It does not work. I am going to write

the go pro people now, hopefully they answer before xmas.

Cheers
