App used in conjunction with accessory to turn iOS device into gun scope

Hi,
I recently came across the following product:
http://inteliscopes.com/
While I realize that using the iOS camera for "mock shooting" applications is completely innocuous, I think that using the iPhone attached to a semi-automatic weapon to aim and shoot crosses a line.
I'm curious if the use of an iOS device in ths manor violates any known terms of services, and if Apple has a known position on apps of this sort. Thanks.

Hah!, well, I suppose that's to be expected. We're putting seriously powerful technology in the hands of everyone with a few bucks to spare; it's inevitable that some oddball uses are going to crop up. When I think about the things one could do with an iPhone - without all that much skill or effort, even - it kinda gives me the willies.

What is the best stereo expander software to use in conjunction with OS X Mountain Lion?

All-
Have got a 13" MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, and am trying to find a great simple stereo/3D/4D type of sound expander software plugin/app to use in conjunction with iTunes and with my computer games. I used to use Astound Sound, by Genaudio, on my earlier Macs...but their site states that they are no longer updating the app...and haven't done so for three years now. Any suggestions?
Thanks-

Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

Some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off

some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off
No matter how often I go to settings>cellular and turn off the apps, as soon as I close that screen they automatically turn back on.
I prefer not to delete the apps and reload them as I will loose the data in them when they are removed.
Thanks for the help.

First thing and easiest thing to try is a device reset:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Is it possible to install a consumer app for mass usage that would alter the ios device proxy settings? Over the air not supervised. Can an app company use an MDM server to do this if the customer consents?

HI Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Could you expand on your answer, which bit is very doubtful?
Also in your knowledge would Apple work with a company and license it if the software they were developing was desired by consumer demand?
Thanks

Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

Or is the Modem on the other end Cable/DSL/FiberOptic?

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with the macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network though. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices.

I can help you for the future. Regularly back up your computer to an external hard drive (or cloud alternative). If you have your library backed up, it could be reinstalled on your new computer. In your current situation, you will have to reload all of your CDs as syncing of non-iTunes purchased music is only one way (Computer to iPod)

An iPod touch is an iOS device.
Why not contact the developer of the app?

Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

GUIBB Form used in conjunction with IF_FPM_TRANSACTION

Hello,
I looked at the sample GUIBB Forms with provision to save the data in the form. It seems to me that it is not possible to use the interface IF_FPM_TRANSACTION in conjunction with GUIBBs. Is this true, otherwise, how do we incorporate the interface IF_FPM_TRANSACTION, say into the feeder class of GUIBB Form, i.e. IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM ? Thank you.

32bit and 64bit Apps using Crystal 2010sp1 with a recordset

Hi
I'm using Crystal 2010sp1 with VS2010. I have some code that I did not write, which obtains a recordset and passes that to the ReportDocument. It then goes on to .Export() the report.
When my app is compiling as 32bit the .DataSourceConnections on the ReportDocument contains 1 item with the following properties:
DataBaseName=""
DBConnHandler=0
IntegratedSecurity=False
LogonProperties = { "ADO.Net DataSet Object", "0,4AFECC" } { "ADO.Net DataSet Object", "0,4AFECC" }
{ "Internal Connection ID", "2e3b2f7f-0c31-472a-9773-f301a7ba9a3e" } { "Internal Connection ID", "2e3b2f7f-0c31-472a-9773-f301a7ba9a3e" }
Password = ""
ServerName = "NewDataSet"
Type = CRQA
UserID = Nothing
And it exports perfectly!!
When compiled as "Any CPU" and running on a 64bit machine, the properties are:
DataBaseName=""
DBConnHandler=0
IntegratedSecurity=False
LogonProperties = { "Field Definition File", "BL_Extras.ttx" } { "Field Definition File", "BL_Extras.ttx" }
Password = ""
ServerName = "D:\EntaV4\ENTAReports\rpt\BL_Extras.ttx"
Type = CRQA
UserID = Nothing
And the export fails with the exception:
"Failed to load database information. Error in File BL_Extras {9D634275-70C4-42E8-B7EE-C2A69C0CDD2B}.rpt: Failed to load database information."
Why under 64bit is Crystal setting different connection details? And where is it getting the path for the ttx file in the ServerName property, my app and report are on my C drive in a totally different location. That folder on D had never existed on my machine.
I do happne to have the ttx file for this report, but putting it next to the rpt or in the above path makes no difference. I don't have the ttx for other reports though anyway and running as 32bit it works even if I delete the ttx though.
I have searched the error and found several pre-SP1 and non-recordset scenarios. I also read a little about create XML files for the reports but that is going to be too much work as there are hundreds of reports. It's not a lack of a 64bit ADO driver is it?
I thought i'd ask here for other solutions before I step back in time 10 years and make this app 32bit only.
I'm pretty sure this all worked on 2008 with CR2008.....

I exported the data as XML from my datatable like you said. I did it both running as x64 and x86, the output was the same.
I thought i'd eliminate any bad code that might be in my main app by writing a little test app that loads that xml and drops it in a viewer control. I started a new project in VS, added a form with the Crystal Report viewer. I then wrote code to load the rpt file, and read the xml into a dataset, and then setdatasource on a report object to the first table of that dataset (which is what my main app is doing).
Dim crReportDocument As New ReportDocument
Dim filePath As String
Dim ds As DataSet
filePath = "c:\64crystal.xml"
ds = New DataSet()
ds.ReadXml(filePath)
crReportDocument.Load("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SchedulerManager\rpt\BL_Extras.rpt")
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(ds.Tables(0))
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
Running it in x86 I am prompted for some parameters that the report required, and then the report renders in the viewer perfectly, no problems.
Running this app in x64 prompted me for the parameters, and then I get a msgbox saying:
Failed to load database information
Error in File BL_Extras {CD6C5C52-744C-433E-9297-87ECC3834262}.rpt:
Failed to load database information.
So then going back to what you asked, I went to the viewer control and click 'choose a crystal report' I get a 'Bad forumula result' error. If I select 'Create a new Crystal Report' and then 'From and existing report' and select the rpt file i'm working with. It then shows the rpt file in the VS designer with all the fields and sections and looks fine, though returning to the viewer gives the 'Bad Formula result' again. Seem to get this on several reports so am assuming its just because there is no data yet.
On this report now in my project I went to set datasource location and selected the XML it then shows NewDataSet with Table under it in the treeview. The update button is disabled if i select the table. If I select the dataset and click update it tells me:
"Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodifeid tables". The top pane of this window is showing the file details of the ttx that it thinks is located on the D drive.
If I go to database expert and move the table over it then prompts me to find the ttx file. It doesn't let me skip this so I give in and tell it where it is. I then get the link tab. It shows the ttx with 23 fields and my xml table with 27 fields. It has 11 fields linked automatically,
A comparrison of the ttx and XML in notepad shows the following, the bold fields are the ones that did not auto link.
DateOption, ttx:Number, xml:unsignedByte
StartDate, ttx:dateTime, xml:dateTime
EndDate, ttx:dateTime, xml:dateTime
VenueGroups, ttx:Memo, xml:string
Profiles, ttx:Memo, xml:string
Users, ttx:Memo, xml:string
Extras, ttx:Memo, xml:string
RepGrouping: ttx:Number, xml:unsignedByte
IncludeDiscount, ttx:Number, xml:unsignedByte
VgrDescription, ttx:String(50), xml:string
CurSymbol, ttx:String(3), xml:string
CurName, ttx:String(30), xml:string
CurScaleFactor, ttx:Number, xml:short
ProDescription, String(50), xml:string
UseName, String(30), xml:string
TransactionDate, ttx:Datetime, xml:dateTime
StxCode, ttx:Number, xml:int
StxDescription, ttx:String(100), xml:string
MrwID, ttx:String(3), xml:string
MrwDescription, ttx:String(100), xml:string
Sales, ttx:Number, xml:int
Returns, ttx:Number, xml:int
Reserved, ttx:Number, xml:int
GrossSalesAmount, ttx:Currency, xml:decimal
GrossReservedAmount, ttx:Currency, xml:decimal
SalesVAT, ttx:Currency, xml:decimal
ReservedVAT, ttx:Currency, xml:decimal
Right clicking on all of these bold items on the table side (in the link tab) says that those bold fields are type Number. So not sure why the first 8 don't link as they are looking for Number. As for the last 4, in SQL these fields are type money, once read by vb.net into a datatable they are of type decimal. Not sure what crystal is expecting here.
I can manually link the 8, but it tells me for the 4 currency fields that the "data types are not compatibile"
I still don't get why if running as 32bit and passing the datatable from xml or sql to the rpt, even without the ttx, works without issue.
I think for now that i'm going to have to simply compile my main app for 32bit, but would still like to understand what is going on here. Thanks for helping to look into this.
Tony.

Are some apps just not compatible with iTunes 10.5/iOS 5.0?

Seems some apps on my iPod, conflict with iTunes 10.5.
I started having the Store issue, which ALWAYS showed and worked, never had trouble accessing, never got a blank page... that started happening.
(I think live search when typing is a bad idea)
I had added back a few, by download and via iTunes, but next time I connected iPod, there was problem with iPod showing as a device, and with iTunes Store.
Removed the 4 apps I had added/reinstalled, and now back to normal.
Skype, RockMelt, iCab Mobile, Reeder, Transphotos
I don't know if it was the combination or if it was Skype or photo retouch/editing or one of the others.
I use to have 4.1GB "Other" also and that is now a more comfortable 1.1GB of space.
NY Times "newstand" would not work on 4.3.5, or would but could not by synched, could not be moved to another iPod screen. So basically broken and may have led to other problems. These apps that work with iOS 5 but are not backward compatible, or the reverse situation, they aren't really 5.0 compatible.
For me, I have to wait for Windows and iTunes to settle down, then connect iPod only. And when the iPod device would "vanish". Now where are the "dot one" patched bug-fix verfsions?
And for those still on 4.3.5 and earlier, where is the means to keep and not update to a new version believing it will be backward compatible (and maybe the specs said "iOS 4+" when it should say it reqquires "Newstand and iOS 5+".

Mounting a device in iTunes 10.5 with some incompatible apps will cause the device to unmount (disappear) from iTunes. Remove the offending app from the device before you next connect to iTunes and should now mount and stay mounted. Restart AMS if needed.
New app that I put on iPhone will cause this. iPhone no longer shows in iTunes: Devices.
click on "Devices" in iTunes
drop down list of categories
Suggest for features:
Keep prior version in iTunes backup library
Version, when installed or updated
When in Apps, have option to go to product page directly. Easier and more likely to provide feedback.
When in iTunes Store and in Apps, search would by default look first and foremost in App Store section.
iTunes Store Category: iOS 5 Apps.
Some are iOS 5 only and not backward compatible.
Those should not be offered.
Some say that they are iOS 4.x and later but are no longer.
NYTimes now requires Newstand and 5.0 (I wrote and don't think they tested or were aware it wasn't backward or would not synch under iTunes 10.5). Was the prime reason I even upgraded to iOS 5, too! ouch. iTunes 10.5 as tested vs as it actually is - differed and has significant impact. So give developers more access & time to test and certify against 10.5 before offering iOS 5. Why the rush instead of have a smoother rollout? it gets old afterawhile and looks rushed.
For now, be careful. It is hard to know what is compatible, and what to avoid even now, or especially now with the updates from Friday 28th.
Uninstalling an app may be one way to "troubleshoot" but that also removes settings, and requires more work to authorize, customize, and setup again.
Where is chkdsk for iOS?
Last, does an app crashing or freezing corrupt the settings? the app itself? memory? leave behind "other" storage addresses that can't be used until fixed by remvoing and restoring not just app, but everything?

ITunes and App Store not connecting with Apple id after iOS 8

After updating to iOS 8.0.2, I have tried updating apps and buying music but nothing happens on my iPhone 5 or my iPad. Can someone help with this? All it shows it the rotating circle saying it's looking or working or whatever but even after logging in with the Apple id nothing works. I can connect my phone to the computer and things update but still shows on phone/iPad after that I still need to update apps.

Hi ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I am sorry to hear that you cannot connect to or download from the iTunes and App Stores. There are some very good troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please follow the steps and information in the article below.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Have a great day,
Joe

Can you use wifi sync with multiple libraries and multiple devices

Hi all
Does anyone know if you can use wifi sync with 1 computer, 2 libraries and 2 devices?
I have my wife's iPhone synced to 1 library and mine to another library but on the same computer. Will wifi sync work this way or do you need iTunes to be open to the correct library for it to work? As I know you can't have 2 instances of itunes open on the same computer.
Anyway thanks for any help

I have been looking more and more into this and it appears no.
You need to have iTunes running on the computer to enable it to wifi sync. You can use 2 devices on 1 library but if you don't have all the right options ticked you will then end up with each others stuff on each others device.
To enable wifi sync you need to have your iDevice connected to the same wifi network as your computer and iTunes open on that computer.
With my library open it detected my wife's phone and started to sync. Hasty push of cancel sync button lol.
There is a guide on here somewhere about multiple devices with 1 library which I can't find at the moment that tells you which options to tick so only your stuff stays on your device the the other half's on their device.
Its basically tick 'sync only ticked songs and videos' under summary of your device
Under apps take tick out of 'automatically sync new apps'
Then under edit->preferences click device and click prevent i's from syncing automatically
I think you should then be able to sync both devices to 1 library with mucking them up too much
Hopefully please correct me if I'm wrong
I have tried not doing the last step and asking it to open itunes automatically when phone is connected but this does not work with wifi sync
Have fun hopefully someone else can give us a better answer
