A Pebble app that allows for voting up/down as well as advancing the track (no prev in radio mode)

Pebble is touting that with the release of their new "Pebble App Store", happening soon out now, Pandora will have an app that runs on the Pebble allowing you to vote a track up/down as well as advance to the next song. As I subscribe to Spotify and not Pandora, I would LOVE to see this same kind of app coming from Spotify. Currently, the Pebble can control your music, but only through the "now playing" system on a given smartphone. Personally, I have an iPhone 5 and while it works flawlessly to play/pause and advance tracks, having the voting up/down functionality in an actual Spotify app would be amazing.
EDIT: The app store is open, but Pandora have not released their app for some reason. Perhaps they are waiting for the official release of the Steel (I know the promo units had it pre-loaded for reviewers). I think it would be very interesting if Spotify were to beat them to it! There are several other apps from major companies, like Yelp and Foursquare, so this isn't just a niche market. Other companies are realizing the potential, and I'd be really excited if Spotify did, too!
The attached image is from a review on tomsguide.com showing Pandora's Pebble app as it will look while controlling the smartphone it is linked to. I think it's a very clean and simple interface that could easily be replicated by Spotify. The two services, while streaming radio, are very similar. For those of us using Pebble I think it may be tempting to switch without this feature, which is the main reason I have brought this to the ideas forum.

Already created a new idea, but as this already exists, I'll add my UI ideas here too :)
My idea:
Multiple UIs, accessible via a long press of the middle button. There you can choose the screen:
Playback screen:
- up and down will skip tracks while holding them will search in track.
- middle is play/pause
On Volume screen up and down will adjust volume instead of back/forward.
Rating screen:
- Up and down will rate the track while listening to Radio, if listening to playlist they will toggle shuffle/loop
- middle will (un)star the current track.
Playlist selector
- Browse through your playlists and tracks
- middle button to open playlist/play selected track, hold to get options: play next, play radio based on selection, hide (which will hide the selector and go back to last used screen); back navigation with back button.

Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad

I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.

Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device.

Any SYNC APPs that allow for specific file synchronization for the MacBook Pro??? Please advise..

Any recommendations for a sync app that allows for specific file synchronization rather than just a complete back-up program? I want to be able to synchronize certain files only on multiple external hard-drives?
FYI:[[Using a 15" MacBook Pro on Mac OSX Version 10.6.7, Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3]]

I'm pretty sure you should keep Boot Camp 2.1, Scorpio.
I'm not sure about the driver only or complete reinstall question though.
Probably the best place for an answer to this would be over in the BootCamp "Installation and Storage" forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237 where the "specialists" in this sort of matter hang out.
Post a link to this thread over there as well, so that people will know what has already been suggested.
Cheers

Is there an app that allows for content to be arranged within an interface similar to the App Store's interface?

I have tried a number of applications for arranging media. The ones I am looking to use at work however, we like to have using feeds from sites like flickr. We have Flipboard, which looks great, and usually works pretty great too, but there are errors and lame things about it. This app arranges images based on upload date, which you have to change manually through flickr to make images display in the correct format which is a pain, and images still will become out of alignment in landscape vs. portrait mode.
I was wondering if there was a media app out there that is arranged similar to the app store? I think this would make for a really slick interface to have. Being able to have heading images and sections along with panning sections lower on the page that allow you to scroll content and click to access a larger view.
Has anyone found really great media displaying apps? Any that happen to be similar to the app store layout? Really, any apps you have found for displaying content would be a great help.
Thanks!

Not that I know of, and having seen a picture of it

Doesn't look all that great, you lose so much of the picture quality just to see a desktop?
Better to have a 1/8 th page window floating on top of other windows instead.

Are there any free APPS that allow for chang/embellish the folder icon

tired of blue folders.
there must be some kind of app that can change its appearance or change color or whatever.
can one change the text font of indiv folders?
wouldnt one expect this from OS X4.6
im shocked it has to be the same old blue folder

Hi, Glenn.
You can assign any icon you want to a file or folder: see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the icon of a file or folder.”.
You can find nice sets of icons (what you need for step 1) at sites like Icon Factory or ResExcellence.
Some folks really like the inexpensive shareware application FolderBrander for customizing folders. There's a free trial period and it seems very reasonably priced for what it does.
The freeware application TinkerTool will allow you to change some of the default fonts used in Tiger.
When looking for new applications, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Good luck!

Help! Looking for an iPad app that allows for efficiently filling in PDF forms we create. Know of any?

I created a quote form for our sales guys to use in the field and we would like them to be able to have the capability to fill it in on their ipads. Is there an app that will let us do the following:
Fill in a pripriotary form
Click to next field
Force character limits so the text does wrap and print poorly
Edit text after moving on to another field
Printable
Send by email
If an app like this doesn't existion, how much would it cost to commisison someone to create it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
Have a look here ...

Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

Looking for an app that allows for screen switching/maximizing

On my PC at work, I have an app that adds another button to the top menubar of all applications/windows. This button, when clicked, will move the window/application to the "other" monitor/display and can even maximize the window to fit the screen. is there an app like that for the Mac
I kinda need this right away - in a bit of a bind.
Thanks

What do you use on the PC? would be useful when iTunes and others insist on always going to last monitor, even when it is no longer present.
Ah... Windows key + Shift + arrow key on Windows.
Buit right in.
Most likely utility would be SwitchResX, but some features have been removed.
Worth giving a try though.

When will a free app that allows for me to read on my mac like on my iPad be available?

I recently bought a 13 inch macbook air, and I was thrilled. Now, I have to read the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for school. I got the book on my iPad for free on my iBooks app, but when I realized that my dad would need my iPad for work more often, I went onto the app store for my macbook and I was very surprised to find that there wasn't an iBooks for mac. I was fully aware of the fact when I bought my macbook that there wouldn't be any "decent games" on the app store for the mac, but I never imagined that there wouldn't be an iBooks! Does anyone know a FREE app that can take the place of iBooks on the app store for macbooks?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
There are many folks who feel as you do, wondering why Apple doesn't have an equivalent to iBooks for the Mac. Many other eBook formats; Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Zinio, etc have reader apps to read the books on both Macs and iOS devices.
This will help with this one problem, here is a link to another free electronic version of your book that comes in formats that can be read on your Mac;
http://www.free-ebooks.net/ebook/The-Strange-Case-of-Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde
You may have to open a free membership with free-ebooks.net to download your preferred format. I would go for the pdf, which you can read on your Mac, but also in an app on your iOS devices as well.

Document scanning software that allows for custom search fields, attaching a thumbnail to the scanned document file, and works with any scanner?

I am a professional photographer, with years of paper model releases. I would like to find a document scanning software that works with my exisiting flatbed scanner (Canon MP250) that I can customize the seach fields for (ie. name, agency, job, etc.) and also attach a thumbnail image to as a job reference. I would like the document to be searchable as well. I've looked at a few different document scanning software companies, but I haven't found one that allows me to attach a jpeg file to a scanned PDF. Does anyone know if software like this exists?

You can't do better than to use VueScan:

Is there an app that allows for things like aperture effects on video recording?

Title says it all, I'm looking for an app where when video recording on my iPhone, it can focus on me, but blur out the background

I think it would be easier to buy a post-production app like iMovie, and edit that, then.

IPhone app that allows cable transfer of files and viewer feature

Hi Guys,
Now I'm really getting desperate...
Does anyone know of an app that allows you to transfer files to your iPhone via the USB cable and has a partner iphone app that allows you to view the files.
I'm looking specifically for PDF and Html viewer.
I can't use the WiFi and can't download using 3G...too expensive.
I've tried a few apps thus far but they allow you transfer files to locations that the iphone apps cannot access.
Kind regards,
Neelan

There used to be an app that did this called "FileAid". The app was free, but to use it you need to purchase an app called "DiscAid" from the developer. It allowed for file transfers between iPhone and computer using a USB cable or wifi. Recently, the app was changed AT APPLE'S REQUEST to eliminate the USB functionality. Why? I have no clue, other than having this feature took away from Apple's MobileMe file transfer functionality. I did NOT accept the upgrade. Below is an email I received from the developer.
What really irks me is that I paid for the DiscAid app. By removing this functionality, Apple has ripped me off. Fortunately, the developer has more integrity than Apple has.
"As a DiskAid user, you might be using FileAid to view files on your device.
If this is your case you are maybe aware already: we had to upgrade FileAid 1.4 to 1.5 and we changed the name to FileApp, incidentally.
The USB connectivity within FileApp was removed and we did not want that: it was not our choice but the consequence of a decision taken by Apple, nor did we wanted to have to rush to release it.
Besides, all iPhone Apps supporting the USB file transfer will be affected by that.
We were very upset about Apple's decision not to let our users enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of USB file transfer, but we had no choice as you can imagine. We are very sorry about that.
DiskAid (USB transfer tool) is still perfectly functional for file storing and iPhone/iPod Touch filesystem access but FileApp won't let you view your files on the device.
It is probably pretty uncommon, but we would like you NOT to UPGRADE to FileApp in the App Store automatically, but to read the following carefully before:
Why Should you Upgrade:
If you have a jailbreak on your device
If you are a FileAid user only using WiFi connection for transferring files - WiFi connectivity issue fixed
Why You Should NOT Upgrade:
If you are using FileAid on a device without jailbreak in conjunction with DiskAid - USB no longer supported
If you have upgraded on your iPhone by mistake (or you missed the upgrade information notice prior upgrading on your iPhone) you have the ability to downgrade to FileAid if you haven't upgraded within iTunes on your desktop and you haven't performed a sync!
To do so:
1 - Check that you have FileAid in your iPhone apps within iTunes on your computer
2 - Delete the FileApp app from your iPhone (or iPod Touch)
3 - Select FileAid within the app tab in iTunes and press sync
If a message appears warning that you have a more recent version of this app on the device, accept: it will install FileAid instead of FileApp
If you have upgraded to FileApp directly in iTunes on your computer, delete it before sync (if applicable) and the FileAid app will be copied back onto iTunes at next sync.
It is a real issue for us, as the ability to browse files transferred via USB within our iPhone app FileAid was a great feature within the DiskAid program we will sure suffer from that - but we won't let our loyal customers take the blame.
We would naturally refund users that claim for, even beyond our refund policy (up to 60 days).
Also if you had a good time while the trick lasted, or if you feel any sympathy for us and you think that your purchase could subsidize the development and maintenance of the free version of the FileAid/FileApp and you do not request a refund, we would thank you in advance for your support!"

As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

I like to watch tvcatchup or sky go or I player on my iPad while falling asleep, the problem is that the iPad then stays on all night. I would like to find an app that allows me to set a timer for the iPad to switch itself off automatically.
