Airprint or third party app

The configuration is as follows:
I-Pad2
Airport Express
Canon MP260 printer
The Canon is connected to the Airport via USB.
There are no other devices (ie: Mac or PC) connected or used in this configuration.
In all of the discussions and third party apps and websites I've investigated, there is no clear explaination or solution that will allow the I-Pad to print a photo or document (ie:e-mail, pdf etc..) using the configuration I've provided above. In every case you either need a compliant "airprint" printer or have the printer connected to a PC or I-Mac.
Are there any immediate plans by the folks at Apple to fix the USB port of the AirPort Express to recognize the I-Pad to allow for printing either using Airprint or a third party app.

to print on a printer one require an interface this interface can be a driver or if the device follow
an interface like airprint
since ipad don't have 3th party drivers there are
the 2 options of
1 getting a printer which support airprint
2 a 3th party app from the printer maker
the airport express can never help you unless you expcet the user to be able to install printer drivers from canon on the airport express itself
the fact that conon dont have an printing app which works with your printer is canons fault not much apple can do about that
take it up with canon
my wifi printer from samsung works fine with printing from the free app samsung released to the app store

Printing from iPad - Why do I need third party app to print to a local network printer??

Why do I need to pay for a third party app to print to ALL local network printer?? I understand that only some printers are compatable with iPads, but yet application like "iCanPrint" allow me to print just fine to a printer connected to my network. Why can't Apple include this as one of its features? Technology is apparently there?

For that, and the many other apps to work, you need to be running a pc or Mac on the network. The answer is drivers. Every printer in the world needs a driver. There simply is not enough space on a pad to load every possible printer driver that might be in play. in the pc world, the operating system comes preloaded with hundreds of common drivers, and when you buy and install a new printer, you download the new drivers for that new printer.
That all just will not work on a pad or phone. So apple flipped the issue upside down, and said...'here is the printer driver we will make standard for its devices. We call it AirPrint. Include this in your printer'. A lot of manufacturers have, and more printers are enabled each month.
So your choice is pretty basic. You can buy an AirPrint enabled printer and print directly to it, or buy a non AirPrint printer, or use the one you have, and rely on your pc to act as the translation device to manage the print job.

Notes on third-party apps closing (not really crashing) after a restore

Hello,
I'm adding the umpteenth message about a problem that, after happening basically with each single iPhone change since my old iPhone 3G onwards, I would say it's pretty common.
I have solved this problem recently with a third sequence of actions, so I'm posting my brief "history of restores" for the benefit of others. I hope I've tagged this post eloquently enough to make it easy to find.
So, in most (if not all) cases of previous restores I've bumped in the classic issue where after the restore process (which, BTW, involves always a few more sudden phone restarts than expected) only the "native" iPhone apps run normally. All the others appear for an instant and then close. They don't really crash because both in iOS 6 and iOS 7 you can see them as "running" by double-tapping the iPhone front button. Moreover, those with active notifications will actually notify the user regularly. Their UI, though, doesn't go past the splash screen.
The underlying cause, also considering it relates only to apps downloaded via App Store, is presumably some DRM-related information that gets messed up during the restore process.
My personal experience included previously two distinct solutions, and each of those only worked in that occasion, i.e. has been useless in the other cases:
The oldest, and still most documented solution, was just to download, via iPhone, a new app from the app store. After a restart, or maybe even without one, the new app and all the others started working.
The second, less mentioned online but still pretty widespread, was to sign out from the Apple Store on the iPhone, and then sign back in.
This time, where I got a replacement for my iPhone 4s because of the common problem of the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip getting "burned" or dislodged, I tried both the solutions above but they didn't work. In the process, I've found other possible solutions that didn't work:
Deauthorizing iTunes on the Mac and then reauthorizing it.
Getting a new app via iTunes and then syncing the iPhone
Sign out/in with iCloud on the iPhone.
I was therefore close to abandoning my 877 apps already configured and organized in folders in the previous backups, and willing to accept the burden of setting up the iPhone as a new phone.
Nevertheless, I still hoped that a "mixed approach" would work and, indeed, it worked.
Here is the sequence that worked in my latest case:
Restore the iPhone as a new phone
Open the App Store on the iPhone and get a new app, not among those already downloaded previously
Open that app and see that it works (actually, after an iPhone replacement steps 1-3 would make sense anyway to check that the phone works properly)
Start a restore from a previous backup
As soon as the apps start syncing again, open the first app already sync'd and check that it works. It should work, that's what happened to me, and so you can wait the whole time required to sync back all the apps.
My experience involves also a falsification of the statement that the problem resides on individual backups. This is false because I've used the same backup, at step 4, that I selected before going through 1-3 and that was not working initially. Moreover, after step 5, I've realized that the old backup I had used was too old because yesterday evening, while I had my iPhone still misbehaving with third-party apps, I took a few pictures that would have gone lost using the old backup. I have then started again from step 4 with a backup from the night after the pics, when I was fiddling to fix my issues. Also the newer backup, clearly done while the apps where "bad", ended with all my apps working again.
Basically, once the "physical" phone runs third-party apps, than any backup would work. The (missing) authorization portion that causes the misbehaviour might be related to the phone IMEI, or some other piece of information that is not included in backups.
Does anyone know a specific thread here or blog post on some website where there is a collection of cases like mine?
I'm not looking forward to seeing what voodoo variation will be required the next time I replace my iPhone...
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Giovanni

Did latest iPhone update and now non of my third party apps work. They open then close immediately. I tried to restore but can't as my iphone wont sync with itunes now and I will loose my apps. Also my largest app "Sat Nav" has gone. Help ??

Hi All
I have run into problems with my iPhone 4. I hadn't done an update for a while so decided to get my itunes and iphone 4 up to date. I downloaded all the latest versions. However now non of my third party apps work and my largest one has vanished. I try and open them and they flash up and then close again. I thought the easiest thing to do was to restore so I tried to syn my apps onto itunes so I wouldn't loose them. However it won't let me sync the apps onto iTunes. It ill allow me to syn the old version when I just started but since then I have bought a dozen other apps. Can anyone help. thanks

Well this won't work for me...
I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

I purchased my iMac using the same (and only) Apple ID I use to purchase apps. Third-party apps update fine, but the apps that came with my iMac (iPhoto, iMovie, etc) bring up a message saying I have to log in with the account I used to purchase them.

I used my only Apple ID to purchase my iMac (Intel-based one). I've never been able to update core apps that came with it. I can update third party apps I've bought (like Coda), but when I try to update Garage Band, iPhoto, iMovie and so on, a popup message appears saying "You have updates available for other accounts" and "Log in with the account you used to purchase this app in order to update it", or similar (see screenshot above).
The OS seems to get its updates fine - it's just the core apps from the App Store.
I've only ever had one Apple ID, so I have no idea what to do. I went to ask the Genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't help, and insisted that I must have purchased the iMac using a different account, but I definitely didn't. There are a few posts on non-Apple forums of this happening to other people, so it must be a rare bug.
I'm a little concerned it may affect my ability to update from Lion to Mountian Lion. Can anyone help?
Dan

Have you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists.

Formatting music from windows to a mac using third party app

i used a third party app so that i could download music from a pc onto my os x formatted ipod. initially it worked when i moved the music into my itunes library on my mac, but for some reason now a lot of the tracks won't play and my computer freezes if i press play on any track that originally was downloaded onto a pc. is there a way to identify where the songs came from and then delete then from the library without going through each one a seeing if it will play and then having to force quit itunes because it freezes?

From what I know, windows will not recognize the complicated data of a mac formatted device; hence not recognizing it. Macs can recognize a windows formated ipod though, so if you decide to reformat it on windows, then you can use it on both computers. If you dont though, looks like you are out of luck, sorry.
Hope I helped.

Third party apps no longer work with bus transportation! HELP!

I understand Apple no longer supports bus transportation (lame) but third party apps, such as SEAtac, OneBusAway, or anything else just gives me a 'no routes available' page. I can't find any routes on my desktop either. Is this happening to anyone else?!
Does anyone know a) how to fix this or b) how to downgrade back to the 7.1 operating system?

a) you would probably need to contact the app developer about their app, and I would know nothing about your desktop. b) Apple does not support downgrading of iOS. It cannot be done.

ITunes 12 and third party apps

We have a couple third party apps that have been integral to our iTunes media management:
iRingtones -- convenient tool for creating ringtones from media registered with iTunes library
TuneUp -- cleanup album art
Neither of these works with iTunes 12. I realize Apple doesn't have any control over third party apps, but users should be aware that many of these will no longer function once you upgrade to iTunes 12.
If anyone has tips on how to get either of these apps working -- or any other for that matter -- feel free to post here.

Thought I should post this response I got from TuneUp support on Oct. 29 :
"TuneUp Support (TuneUp | Support)
Oct 29 08:05 AM
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
We are aware of the issue related to the Mac 10.10 and iTunes 12 update. We are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,

Upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 -- all of my third-party apps missing

I'm not exactly sure where the issue came from, but I somehow lost all of my apps as I upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and the iPhone 4 today. But I figured out what happened and *I have the solution*, which I'd like to share...
This occurred on June 24, 2010 (iPhone 4 launch day). The steps I took to upgrade to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 were as such:
1) I did a full sync and backup of my iPhone 3GS with iTunes 9.1.
2) I upgraded iTunes 9.1.x.xx to iTunes 9.2.0.61 (the first version compatible with iPhone 4).
3) I activated my new iPhone 4 and set it up based on my 3GS's back up data.
4) When it was done setting up the iPhone 4, I noticed that all of the native apps and their app data were intact, but I was missing all of my third-party app store apps. Note that all the apps on my 3GS were obviously still intact.
5) I noticed that I had zero apps in the iTunes library (at the top left under "Library"). Thus, with my 3GS plugged in, I right clicked on the iPhone in iTunes under "Devices" and selected "Transfer Purchases". This transferred all of the apps on my 3GS to the iTunes library.
6) I plugged in my iPhone 4, and noticed that on the "Apps" tab under "Devices / iPhone name", the "Sync Apps" box was unchecked. So I checked it, and it gives you a scary message saying that all of the apps in the iTunes Library (which I had just populated in step 5) will overwrite the app data on your iPhone. I didn't have any app data on my iPhone 4, so I clicked "OK". All of the apps transferred from the iTunes Library to my iPhone 4 with all of the app data (game saves, etc) intact.
So that's my solution. I'm sure this must be happening to other people. My main piece of advice is: after upgrading to iTunes 9.2 and syncing your old phone for the last time, make sure you have apps in your App Library and "Sync Apps" is checked. If not, follow the steps above.
This same issue also happened to my friend, but he doesn't have his old iPhone 3GS to restore the app data from. If anyone has any suggestions as to how he can save his app data, please let me know. Thanks.

SAP R/3 integration with (Manual) Third-party App

Hi All
I am working on a scenario in which Third Party application has functionality which actually refines & correct the data upto the accuracy of 99%. So for this end-user needs to enter bit of information on their front-end then application will return the data on the basis of that information.
Now the problem has different parts -->
*) If I choose that SAP R/3 will initiate the ( Synchronous ) process then ABAPers raised the concern that they will not be able to display the response data on correct SAP screen also how to actually access the front-end of Third party.
Third-Party is ready to replace the Front-end with the web-service but then end-user will not be having the functionlity to select different options which is the strong part of Third-party application & also client is not agree to that.
Do you think I should use BPM in above solution with correlation on some field to identify the SAP screen.
*) If I choose Third Party application to initiate the ( Asynchronous ) process then again ABAPers raised the concern that how to display it on the correct SAP screen & how they know that data is coming at this point of time & they need to display it. Also Third Party said in this case they don't have expertise to customize their Front-end application & which will lead to additional cost to hire other developers.
Now can you suggest some good solutions for this kind of scenario in which an application needs the Manual intervention & needs to be integrated with SAP R/3. Also suggest from which direction I should initiate the process.
Thanks

Matias
<<<< with front-end do you refer to SAP R/3 ?
No Matias with Front-End I meant Third Party is providing the web-page where end-user can enter the details & those will be refined & corrected by the Third-Party Application.
<<<<< Which ways has the Third-Party app to connect with (file, database, jms, etc.).
Third-Party App is providing Java Classes & Web-Services for integration but we don't want to access them directly, first of all we would like to invoke/access the Front-end application.
<<<< What is the purpose of this third-party app ? just to receive data, validate it and return it once it is corrected ?
Actually in this Front-end user can enter the data on given fields & data will be keep on refining while he is entering the more information into that given field. For e.g if the field says "City" & user enters "DE", a drop-down will come with all the cities in the world starting with "DE" like Delhi, Denmark etc.Once all the fields are populated with correct data user will click on "Submit" button which will send the data to SAP R/3 ( which we wish to do ).
Now in this case when user will click on Submit button ( means Third-party will initiate the process ) & data will be send to XI using ( for e.g ) HTTP sender then ABAPer's raised concern that how they will be able to show it in the right screen without using proper thread ID.
Pls. let me know in case you require any further information. My problem is this how to relate the Third-Party data with correct screen of SAP.
Thanks

Third Party Apps Not Opening on iPhone 5 using iOS 6.0.2

I have an iPhone 5 and am using iOS 6.0.2 and recently certain third party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Shazzam for instance, no longer open. When I tap on the app, the app comes up on the screen for about a second, and then closes. What's strange is that I've been using iOS 6.0.2 and have also been using the most updated versions of the apps without any issues. The crashing started happening around last Friday. Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem so far but none of these options have worked:
- I restarted my phone by holding down the home button and the lock button.
- I turned my phone off and turned it on again.
- I deleted the apps and reinstalled them and then restarted my phone.
- I downloaded a random free app, opened it, and then tried opening the apps that kept crashing.
- I restored my phone and synced it using the most recent back up I had, which was from earlier that day.
I did find a temporary solution, that allows the apps to open but I think it's because the apps are not the most recent versions.
- I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone. The phone then downloaded all of the apps again and re-synced everything. The apps did open after that however, when I went to the app store, it said that I had 24 available updates. I updated all of the apps to their most up to date versions and then noticed that they once again stopped opening and would crash almost immediately after launching them.
- I then restored my phone again and set it up as a new phone and did not update the 24 apps and all but one of them work. The only app that I've noticed that still doesn't work is the Blackboard Eats app. It still crashes almost immediately after launching it.
I took my phone to the Genius Bar this weekend (which is where I was told to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone). I'm thinking that the issue is purely a software issue, but is there any chance that it could be a hardware issue?
I suppose I could just not update the apps, but I'm hoping there's a better solution than that. What's weird is that the phone was working with iOS 6.0.2 and all of the most up to date versions of the apps less than a week ago and it seems that somehow, overnight, they stopped working.
Is anyone else running into this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

The music player does not remember where the last session ended. I have about 1000 songs on my iPhone. I play the songs in the Shuffle mode - and it worked fine on iOS 5.x. Ever since I updated to iOS 6.0, the shuffle seems to be seriously broken. It repeats the song sequence of previous session in the exact order instead of starting from where the session ended. God forbid if your last session was 10-25 songs long - you'll have to hit the Next song so many times to listen to something that you have not heard for a while.

Third party apps and peripherals to blame?

I am wondering what applications and external add-ons are working and which ones are not?
It appears to me a lot of people are having problems with external hard drives and previously installed applications.
I did a clean install and have only added Apple programs so far (iLife, iWork). I am hesitant to add any other programs for fear of messing up my install, or worse... my Macbook.
The big question is who did the research and development (lack of) on Leopard.
It is beginning to look more and more like Apple focused all it's attention on perfecting the OS and left all the responsibilities for software compatibility to the third party software developers.
Bad idea. Companies that make software for Apple computers are catering to a far smaller market than our PC brothers, which leads me to believe they do not have the resources to insure 100% compatibility. Apple should have anticipated this and performed more testing.
When I installed Roxio Toast 7 I could not burn a disk image. Shortly thereafter my superdrive stopped working completely. I found out from other posts, that you need version 8, or an older version of 7 to get it to work. On Roxio's website there is no mention of this at all. No a peep.
Apple had a few years to check compatibility and work software engineers to make sure their products worked on Leopard.
I further confirmed my suspicions when I visited the apple store today. I was there because my superdrive stopped working. After I installed Leopard and started to re-install my applications (Office, Toast), the drive quit accepting disks. They replaced the drive while I was at the store. By the way they said it was a coincidence. Mmmm.
While I waited (Fantastic customer support by the way, even on a Sunday) I noticed all the computers in the store happily running Leopard without a hitch. I looked deeper and found little or no third party software installed. External hard drives and cameras appeared to be working fine, but with no added software.
My suggestion is be real careful with what you install.
To Apple... Pleeeaaase test your products more thoroughly before sending them out the door. It may not be your responsibility, but if there are known issues then they should be disclosed.
On the other hand how sad it that... Imagine- "To install our software you must take the weekend off, back up all your data, delete all third party apps, and hope you hardware works with our new OS. Some of you will be lucky and others will not. Meeting our system requirements does not really guarantee anything... Good luck".

It seems they deleted my post from discussions. Thanks.

Share calendar with third party apps

Hello,
i have just set up the calendar server. It works well will the mac's calendar app and iOS clients.
I also managed to import the CalDAV calendars into thunderbird with lightning extensions for the non-mac clients.
I can send invites to specific appointment and check availability of people so far.
What does not work is sharing a calendar. As delegate of a calendar is sent invites to some users. The web frontend is pretty much functional but i do not see the calendar invites. I expected them to appear in the notifications area where appointment invites are also shown.
How can i share complete calendars with users that do not have access to apple software?
Regards

If the developers of those apps have incorporated support for iCloud into their apps, then yes.
Contact the developers of the third-party apps and ask.

Conflict with Third Party Apps?

I am getting an occasional error saying there is a possible conflict with third party apps and that I need to check the drivers of my MIDI devices to see if they are up to date? Sorry but I did not record the exact wording. Does anyone know what this might mean, and how I need to go about checking drivers? I have a lot of interfaces and not sure how to see what's what. Thanks.

Hi Midlake,
Well, because they are known troublemakers. Search for 'takes' or 'take folder(s)' or 'comp' here on the forum and you'll find many a troubled soul crying out for help - including seasoned pro's, who thought they were beyond tears...
O, they are fine for recording many takes - but thats' all. I'll select the best takes/phrases.
regards, Erik.
