A post was split to a new topic: First Aid Images

Hello
I’m so lost on this Anki hub thing
I made a new anki account and purchased anki hub membership , downloaded

  1. most of my cards have missing images
  2. when i answer a card the question gets duplicated

@aamal.1 Please go through this FAQ: Why is my deck missing images?

Hi, I bought the subscription for AnkiHub and I already have downloaded the anki step 1/2 deck . I already kinda know how it works. Unsuspending cards while I see the material. I have 2 questions regarding this.

As I was used to do anki with the subdecks , I was wondering If there is a way I can still see the subdeck on anki and selecting it from there but still maintaining the unsuspending method to do cards.

Lets say: I will like to to see al subdecks of the deck but only unsuspend the actual subdeck Im doing. Can you explain me step by step how can I do this?

If you are upgrading from V11, most of the subdecks should stay so nothing should change

You can use custom studies for this, see this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1v1TqRTUUE&t=0s)

Im not upgrading from V11. I just downloaded v12. Im starting from scratch. So the only way to create subdecks is with doing what is in that video? Is complicated.

Also, can you explain to me please step by step how to make sure everything is being synced? Let say i finished a deck, how do i make sure it is sync? pressing sync and then pressin sync with ankihub?

last questio, what are the steps to do anki on my iphone. i just downloaded the app, i have to sign it on my anki account, then what? ankiweb is being used? how does ankihaul takes place in this? I just want to make sure that whatever i do on the mac doesnt get lost when im doing anki on the go on my iphone.

Thank you for clarifying! V12 has no subdecks, it is recommended to use the tags which can be found here by going to browse β†’ tags β†’ #AK_Step2_v12

You can either
A. create your own subdecks so you can click create a deck β†’ name it Endocrinology or whatever β†’ find the tag relevant to the subject β†’ highlight all the cards by doing Cmd + A β†’ change deck β†’ move it to the deck you created (not recommended)
B. create custom studies so for example, you want to have a separate deck for surgery β†’ go to browse β†’ tags β†’ #AK_step2_V12 β†’ find the surgery tag you want to do β†’ unsuspend the cards you want to do β†’ go back to your anki β†’ create custom study (see the video above for that) β†’ select the surgery tag you selected β†’ create deck (recommended)

I highly recommend you watch AnKing videos on this so you can get familiarized on how to use the deck

Correct, you just need to click sync and it will be synced

Once you have synced your decks on your laptop/computer (it will take a while the first time), you just need to sign into ankiweb on your phone and click β€œdownload from ankiweb”. Then you will have the deck on your phone. Just make sure everytime you are done using anki on your phone to click sync, so that when you go to your laptop/computer, the decks are in sync and vice versa

Hey if Anking prompts me to update should I update?

Update what specifically?

Y’all I would love some help. All other ankihub decks work but I can’t sync when subscribed to anking step deck. It’s getting really frustrating. It’ll say that I have a deck to install, but then it will have an error. Again, ONLY this deck is the problem.

So how do I install media files? Where do I get them?

They should install automatically with the deck as long as you’re not protecting the fields. Make sure you aren’t. It might be worth unsubscribing to the deck and then resubscribing.

In the AnkiHub menu, it will have an area that says it’s downloading the media or medial download complete. After resubscribing, what does yours say?

sorry I had a syncing issue I deleted and started from the beginning and it worked

Do I need to download version 11 first? version 11 has no images, if I download version 11 and then sync with version 12, will I have images then?

V12 has images. It will just take time to sync. You can check the progress by going to the Ankihub add-on β†’ check media sync whether it says idle or downloading
