This is a collection of already known issues in the UpReach products and services. For detailed solutions of hardware issues please refer to the manuals enclosed with the Photo System.
UpReach Cloud
The UpReach Cloud is not loading
There can be several reasons:
Your internet connection is too slow. Try a different Wi-Fi/network, restart your router or contact your local network administrator.
Your browser or computer is overloaded. Try to reload the page, restart your browser, restart your computer or try a different browser.
The UpReach Cloud is currently being updated or temporarily not available. Try again later.
UpReach App
The App does not start or gets stuck during starting
Please restart the device (see Restart or shut down the Photo System) and wait until the UpReach App is started automatically. Do not try to open it manually!
If this does not solve the issue, please reinstall the latest version of the UpReach app: Update the UpReach App
The background removal of Chroma Keying does not work well (green screen/blue screen)
If the background removal does not work well, parts of the people are removed or it’s in general very noisy/pixelated, you might have to correct your Chroma Keying color adjustments. Usually the “default” setting does pretty well as it automatically adapts to changing conditions.
Another reason could be bad lighting - as Chroma Keying heavily depends on the color of your backdrop/background, good and even lighting is required to make it work well. Shadows, sunlight or any other irregularities will decrease the quality of the result.
The users do not receive their shared content
There can be several reasons for this:
The user has entered an invalid email address or phone number. Make sure to always enter correct data (watch out for typos!) or use the QR code sharing instead (if included in your Config).
Your internet connection is not good enough. Please try a different network or wait until there is a better connection available (all photos will be sent automatically when the connection is good enough again, see Upload queue (automatic offline mode)).
The UpReach Cloud is temporarily down due to an update or some other issue. Please be patient - when the Cloud is available again all users will automatically receive their photos.
If the solutions above do not help please contact the 👩💻 UpReach Support.
The system is not connected to the internet
Use a local Wi-Fi network: Connect to Wi-Fi
Use a local LAN/Ethernet connection: Connect to LAN/Ethernet
Don’t do either of the above options to use the device’s backup mobile LTE connection.
If the mobile LTE connection is not working, try unplugging the System’s power connection, wait for 15 seconds and then reconnect it to power to start it again (this reboots the LTE router). But as the mobile connection heavily relies on the mobile reception on your location we cannot guarantee availability.
If none of the above options help there is not much left to do - please contact the 👩💻 UpReach Support for next steps.
Processing the photos/videos takes too long
The UpReach App is a performance-heavy image processing software which consumes lots of computer resources. Due to this there can be many reasons why the App runs slower than usual. Try the following steps one after another to speed up the processing again:
Restart or shut down the Photo System. This helps in most cases.
Quit all unnecessary background processes and apps
quit TeamViewer & Dropbox
pause/cancel all Windows updates
quit all other softwares that might be running in the background
Change your Configuration settings to reduce the process load
disable color filters
reduce the photo and/or layout sizes
reduce the number of frames in your animation
reduce the animation/video duration
disable chroma keying
Update the UpReach App to the latest version
If none of the above options help there is not much left to do. Please contact the 👩💻 UpReach Support for next steps.
My shared emails do not contain any photo/video
Make sure that email attachments are enabled in the 7. Sharing Settings of your Configuration.
If you use an Advanced HTML email design, make sure you’ve set up your HTML correctly.
Microsoft Outlook does not support video or animated .gif files in emails. Try opening your email in a different email client.
