Audio Output Selection in 3rd Party Media Apps

In all 3rd party media apps that I have, including Netflix and Pandora, among others, I do not have that box/arrow button that allows me to choose which audio output to use.
I normally have my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3) connected to a pico projector, and paired with a set of bluetooth headphones.
Depending on the order I plug the projector in, or pair the headphones, I can get the audio to play through the right channel, but it is very finicky. If there are any interruptions (call, text, ect) or if Ieave the app, and come back, it defaults to the serial connection, and tries to play the audio through the project.
Is the lack of the audio channel selection button on the iOS side or the app side?
Thanks!

You should be able to reset the default app in application settings, then it'll ask again, but I don't remember how >_>

HT4085 are third party media apps (youtube, grooveshark, etc.) grouped in the muted or unmuted category? Since music and podcast (default apps) DO mute and games DON'T mute I thought it worth asking.

3rd party music app to play iTunes?

I'm looking for a 3rd party music app to replace the updated music app; any suggestions?
I listen to music constantly on public transportation and the app is garbage now. I try and forward to the next song while shuffling and consistently hit the volume control instead, which is right below. I am a little sick of having my eardrums blown.
The artist view takes far too long if you have multiple albums.
If I can't replace the app I will replace the phone.

How to play previously DRM protected content in 3rd party iOS apps?

I have a collection of tracks which I purchased from iTunes around 2008, which have the iTunes DRM protection. I would like to play these tracks through 3rd party iOS applications. Specifically, the applications "NuVo Player", "Sonos", and "Ambify", although this seems to apply to all 3rd party music apps.
To remove the DRM from the files, I signed up for iTunes match. I enabled the service in iTunes, and let it scan my library. Once it was complete, I deleted the tracks which have DRM, and used the iTunes match service to re-download them. I used the Finder to inspect the new files, and verified that they are no longer protected. They are .m4a format, and are capable of being played by 3rd party applications in OS X.
I then removed the protected files from my phone, and manually re-synced the new files to my phone. Even after doing this, they are unplayable by 3rd party iOS apps. Unsurprisingly, syncing this .m4a file to a new device (which never had the protected version) allows it to play.
It seems that metadata of some kind may be retained on the iOS device. I suspect a full device restore would fix the problem, but I'm looking for a less intrusive solution.

I found that restoring defaults on the device, followed by a restore from backup, allows this track to play in 3rd party apps.

Apple Web apps versus 3rd party Web apps

There would appear to be some confusion regarding the use of Web apps on the iPhone; specifically, whether the iPhone warranty is voided if a Web app not currently offered on the Apple site at: http://www.apple.com/webapps/, is used on the iPhone. The issue came to light when a poster suggested using the iPhone Pixel Fix Web app (http://www.ebaspace.com/iphone-app/#_home), intended to resolve issues with stuck or dead pixels on the screen.
My understanding is that the use of any Web app that is not Apple approved automatically voids the iPhone warranty, no matter how innocuous it may seem or be. However, it may be that some users consider 3rd party Web apps, such as iPhone Pixel Fix, to be "allowed", as they run on locked/legal iPhones, and are not downloaded onto the phone.
As usual, I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong. May I have your thoughts, advice etc.?
Cheers.

jia10,
Web apps were available even before Apple posted the web apps directory. The information about each web app in the web apps directory is supplied by the submitter which is usually the author. Being included in the web apps directory does not indicate endorsement, recommendation, etc on the part of Apple, it is a directory of available web apps.
No web app should be able to void your warranty, regardless of the site it is posted to, unless it were to exploit a known or unknown security hole. For example, there was a web app that would exploit a security hole to "jailbreak" the iPhone. That was fixed in a previous update to the iPhone.
The Pixel fix web app cycles the colors on the iPhone screen several times using Javascript. It does not install anything on the screen. Essentially it tries to do the opposite of screen burn in. Whether or not it will work, I do not know.
However, using a web-based application that does not overwrite system files or modify the file system, does not void your warranty.
Installing third-party native applications or files that require you to crack the iPhone file system could potentially cause damage to the iPhone's firmware, and would void your warranty.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Recommend a 3rd party camera app?

Hi,
I was wondering what people's opinions were in reference to using a 3rd party app from the app store for the camera (both photos and vid)...where the app will let you lower the resolution for taking pics and shooting video so you are not forced to use the native setting in iPhone? Not sure why Apple refuses to add this feature and forces everyone to shoot in the highest setting which eats up storage space.
Anyways wanted to see what others used before I decided on which app to go with.
Thanks!

Active Directory should have no effect on your ability to connect to your mail server. Check this out anyway: http://www.thursby.com/products/admitmac.html

TS4550 Are 3rd party VPN apps affected?

We use the app "Cisco AnyConnect" to establish a VPN connection "on demand".
Are third party VPN apps also affected by this change?

According to our Cisco contact, this change affects also 3rd Party VPNs on the iPhone.
"For customers unhappy with this change, they will need to discuss this with Apple as this is not a Cisco feature and this change is not in our control."

Image preview not working with 3rd party photo apps in iPhoto/Image Capture

I haven't had a problem until recently with the iPhone 4. Pictures taken with third party photo apps such as Shake It Photo or Hipstamatic no longer generate a thumbnail preview in either iPhoto or Image Capture. It's just a generic jpg icon. All pictures taken with Apple's camera app appear just fine. I also had a problem where I couldn't import any of the photos, but I restarted the phone a couple times and that seemed to fix the importing issue, but not the thumbnail preview issue. This is particularly weird because i've been importing pictures since the first day this phone came out, and it's only been doing this since yesterday.
I know a lot of people are having problems getting their iPhoto to recognize the phone at all or that there are photos on the phone, but is anyone else having the same problem as me? Any solutions? I have iPhoto 8.1.2.
Thanks!

I have this issue but didn't recognize it until I read your post. I thought it was 2 bad photos.
I'll subscribe to this tread to see if anyone comes up with a fix.

3rd party iPhone apps no longer launching - as of today (1/21/2010)

All third-party apps (those Not installed with the iPhone) are not launching.
I have called support and have done the following:
-Restarted the iphone
-Deleted apps. Installed New Apps. Deleted New apps. etc.
-Unchecked "Sync Apps" in ITunes (which removes them all).
-Checked "Sync Apps" and resynced (reinstalled all apps - which I then painstaking moved to the screens that I wanted them installed on)
When I touch an app, it appears to launch for a second, and then the screen appears, so the app never fully launches.
-I have signed out and back in my iTunes account.
I purchased this Iphone 3GS the day it was available on the web (from AT&T). All apps were working and launching until this morning. 3.1.2. 32 Gb. I've removed several apps so I "only" have five screens, or less than 80 apps.
I have set up for a callback Friday morning, but am wondering what others may have done with the similar problem.

After posting this, I read through related issues and found a reference to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
I did the first step, which was Slightly Different than what I had done, and solved my problem. In short: iTunes > select iPhone icon > Store: Deauthorize, etc. Of course, now I have to set up all that apps with UserIds and passwords . . . .
This appears to be a DRM issue (Digital Rights Management). Why, I have no idea, but this is how I am now able to use all apps on my phone (once again).

How To Set Third Party Media App Is Default When Launched From Default File Manager

I use rock media player, which can encode & decode The Video and audio files i use, unlike the phone i have, i don't receive the option to set the app as the default media player. I would really like to be able to use this app on the thrive as it is some much a better media player than the thrives defaulty app. Rock player is the name of the app, who do set it as the default player when launched from the default file manager.

From my experience playing with the Thrive, when you attempt to watch a media file, it will open a menu asking you what application to use. From that popup, you can set a default.

Audio output selection on the fly?

I'm working in a rather cramped environment, and it's annoying to plug in/remove external speakers or headphones. Sometimes it's more convenient to use headphones rather than the built-in speakers, or vice versa. *Is there a way to choose to output sound from the built-in speakers even when an audio device is plugged into the audio out port on the back?*
I've tried Sound Source, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any other suggestions?

Bingo, maybe.
I have a Griffin iMic purchased in maybe 2002. I just experimented and discovered possible good news.
I plugged the iMic in a USB hub and it shows up under Sound in System Preferences, under both the Output and Input tabs. Then I plugged headphones into the iMic output jack. When I highlight the Internal Speakers the sound comes from the speakers. Then when I highlight the iMic the sound then comes from the iMic headphones. And you can shuttle between the two with the Sound status in the menu bar as Barney noted.
Hope this helps.

3rd party plugin app

Hi,
Can anyone help me with this?
From memory, I seem to recall an app (discussed on this forum) that allows you to run audio plugs/instruments outside of logic (with Logic still able to access them), which, I believe, can make Logic more stable. Ring any bells?
I also wondered if this same app allows 32 bit plugs and iLoks (original iLok) to run in 64bit mode?
Thanks for any info, Bryan New

You may be talking about Logic Node software to run some plugins on another computer.

Wacom Tablets & 3rd Party inking apps

If this is not the correct forum for this question, please redirect me.
I have a Wacom Graphire 4. I just found the inkBook software by magesw.com .
It keeps locking up in the edit mode. I've tried it on both my new iMac intel and a G4 iBook.
Any hints? Any other inking apps that I should look at? I need something to match the HP tablets for my school. We use iBook for the students and faculty.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi, P Downs.
1. The problem you are having with inkBook is an issue you should take up directly with the developers. I suggest you review their FAQ or e-mail their support. It's their application, so they should support it.
2. As to other "inking" applications, I personally don't know of any. Apple's Ink should work fine and you can copy the converted text or drawings into most word processing apps.
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!
