I uninstalled and re-installed twice, then had two days of uploading without issues, then this evening the dreaded "Transfer Failed" is back. This is more involved otherwise I would have had the message back straight after the previos install, so testing is needed to find out why this happens. I am on ipad with ios 7.1.2. Sodding annoying issue.
 
This to me seems just to confirm the natural superiority of Android over Apple / IOS!? :D
Just kidding (with a certain amount of ernesty).
 
I finished a map of the pre-war Reims circuit on my iPad and tried unsuccessfully to transfer it for the better part of a day. It's been more than 24 hours and I still haven't been able to transfer, which is annoying because I'm quite proud of this track. I managed to get the length down to the exact meter and really want to try it out. I've tried completely shutting down my iPad, the PS3 and even the router and restarting them all, but nothing is working.

I'm using Ipad to. Everytime I want to upload track I have to go to options, logout, and manually log in again. With autologin transfer doesn't work.
 
Are you on iPad? I don't have a fix, yet, but I have a way around that means you don't loose your work before doing a re-install, provided you can hook your ipad to a computer with iTunes on.
Yes. It's an iPad Air 2.
 
OK, start iTunes on your computer, plug the pad in and do a sync. Then go back to windows explorer and create a folder somewhere with a title like "GT6 track files". Click the "app" flag in itunes can see the list of apps on the pad, and then click on the Gt6 track app icon. You will see a list of files appear in the box to the right of the apps list box. Highlight all the files, and click on the "save to" option under the box, then select the folder you created before. You will then export a copy of these files to that folder. After disconnecting the ipad from iTunes, you can delete the app, re-install, then plug the pad back into iTunes. If you then click on the GT6 track editor app, you will see no files appear in the box to the right this time. Go to the folder, select all the files and drag them into this empty box. Click "sync" and bingo, all your track work restored back to you pad. Disconnect, open the app, and I bet you can transfer again as often as you want, at least for one day. You may have to repeat this operation each day you have tracks to upload, but I have uploaded around five times today without issue, and seven yesterday, but first try this morning was a "fail" so I had to go through this again. takes around 5 mins so no biggie.
 
OK, start iTunes on your computer, <snipped for brevity> takes around 5 mins so no biggie.
Thanks. It worked. I was finally able to upload my track. Hopefully there will be an update to the app so I don't have to go through this again.
