AirDrop - iPhone text edit app that works

I'm trying to share a text document via AirDrop and each time I try this, I get this message on my iPhone:
"** would like to share a file that requires an app from the App Store".
I then tap "Get App" and I get a blank screen each time. Can someone recommend an app that I can use on my iPhone so that I can get the file on my iPhone from Yosemite? Pages documents work, but text documents don't.

The simplest option is to just have a special login page and navigation on your website that you can access directly from Safari, or through a UIWebView and let the user view the pdf's. You may not even need anything custom if the screen flow of you web site is the same as what you want from your app.
As you become more sophisticated, you can consider downloading the PDF's for local caching and then displaying (if that is even necessary), creating a login screen in your app, and making a webservice call to authenticate, etc.

  • Text edit app not working after Secupdate 007

    Pismo running 10.3.9 showing issues with textedit application which worked fine prior to update.
    When attempting to open an existing .txt file the beach ball spins for awhile and then does nothing. Finder window stays in front. When running through the dock, it shows textedit open, but textedit will not appear in menu bar.
    I thought it might just be prior documents. After force quitting, I can open text edit app on its own with a new page showing. I can type in it, but when I attempt to save, the same issue shows. It just hangs.
    Ran applejack and
    I trashed textedit.plist thinking corrupted, but to no avail.
    Any ideas on how to get this going?
    Thanks!

    Hanuman,
    If you have cleaned all the possible cache files with AppleJack (plus run the other functions), one possible fix for problems that develop after a Security Update or OSX version update is to download/install the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update on top of your installed 10.3.9.

    If you don't have another User account, create one named 'Test' if you wish, then log into the 'Test' account. If TextEdit works normally, then you know your problem lies in your Home account. A quick and dirty test for solving some problems in your Home account is to go to your Home account <yourusername>/Library and drag the Preferences folder to the desktop, then log out/in to your Home account and see if the problem is resolved. If corrected, the problem lies in the Preferences folder on the desktop. Most prefs will be re-created as you use the computer, but save the old Preferences folder in the event there is one or more pref that you want to stick back in the new Prefs folder.

    Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

    Hi ron1098,
    Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
    See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

  • Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" for iPhone?

    Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" but to see files on the iPhone???

    Apps on the iPhone are sandboxed. That means they only have access to their own files. They cannot see the files of other apps or of the system. This is for security reasons.
    There are some apps that present a list of files, like Air Sharing, for you to manage, but there is nothing like the Finder.

  • I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the text messaging app, that would be a huge flop for apple. It has to look and feel like bbm or it will just suck.

    I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the current text messaging app, that would be a huge flop. I think I should look and feel like the bbm to make any kind of significant impact. Am I wrong?

    "iMessage in iOS 5 brings the functionality of iPhone messaging to all of your iOS devices―iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Built right into the Messages app, iMessage allows you to easily send text messages, photos, videos or contact information to a person or a group on other iOS 5 devices over Wi-Fi or 3G. iMessages are automatically pushed to all your iOS 5 devices, making it easy to maintain one conversation across your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iMessage also features delivery and read receipts, typing indication and secure end-to-end encryption."
    That is from the Apple site. If all your friends have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad you cang share with your friends, with is exactly like BlackBerry Messenger (BBM only works on BBs).
    And it does look just like the current message format. You can also find that at www.Apple.com

    hi wjosten
    I don't put the iphone in my front pocket. I put in my bag pack so vibration is not useful to me. Pls help
    The iPhone is working exactly as it is designed.
    Your options are:
    1) Unplug the headset.
    2) Leave the headset plugged in and the earpiece in your ear at all times.
    3) Turn on vibrate and put the phone in your pocket.
    4) Leave feedback for Apple and hope they deem it worthy of their time to fix.

  • Messaging app that works with 2nd generation ipod touch

    I recently downloaded imessenger to my 2nd generation ipod touch but it was hours later and with the help of this forum, that I discovered it is not possible to use with my iOS.  Does anyone know of a texting app that I can use?

    You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
    Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
    You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

  • Are there any apps that work with the G2 to block calls reliably?

    I know this subject has been covered but, I have been using Call Control for years since I bought Pro way back when.  Worked fine up until I got the G2.  Now it says that the only proven method of blocking calls is using MUTE CALLS.  The send to voicemail and pickup/hangup options are NOT recommended.  I have tried a few others, but they all seem to hijack the call screen.  I'm not overly worried about Caller ID features in an app.  I know Call Control is in beta with a new version that shows ID, but it's rough and not aesthetically pleasing.  Blocking texts isn't a big deal for me either.  I know a lot of these apps block texts, but require you to use their messaging portion of their app.  Anyone know of a proven pickup/hangup or send to VM app that works on G2?

    Call Control works well, but being a beta tester I can tell you that features are changing.  It's getting better, but even the Premium users are going to have to pay for lookups after x number credits.  IOW, Premium users get a few credits per month and free users have to pay each time.  Until that app decides to do right by the Premium users who have already paid for the app long ago I use Contactive because the ID seems better and more accurate than Call Control, Whitepages Current, Truecaller, LineWhoscall, and CallApp. Contactive doesn't have a direct pickup/hangup nor a send to VM, but the info is more correct and that means I can better block calls based on better info.

  • I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

    I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

    The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
    Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

  • How do I search for apps that work on my iPod Touch Generation 1 (Version 3.1)?

    I have the original iPod Touch and I want to give it to my toddler to play with... so I can have my phone back!  The problem is I cannot find apps that work on the older operating system 3.1.3.  Is there a way to search for them?
    Thanks!

    When you make a playlist it makes a "shortcut" of the file, not a copy of it and the size is so tiny it takes about 10,000 to make 1 mb. It doesn't make a duplicate. It just makes the song appear in a playlist too. Make sure you have the latest iTunes, make sure genius is on, and click Store, update genius. then sync iPod. If you still have a problem, please write wore info about the computer you have. Find all of this (on a PC) click start, run, type winver, then hit enter. (For Mac) Click apple icon (top-left), abou this mac.
