Can process and icon of iPhone app be hidden?

Hi guys!
i was always worried about the security of iPhone 3GS since i stored most of my id/password on it. recently i had a little concern that maybe some apps i installed on my phone didnt have an icon and i couldnt see the process via sbsetting as well. so that means there're some apps on my phone that i can never get access to and i dont even know what they are doing.
and as a developer, im quite interested how can process and icon hidden be achieved by code. so my question is, am i thinking too much or process and icon hidden really exist in iPhone? if the answer is yes, how can i do this by code? any clues are welcome!
thx a lot!
cheers

For a non-development answer, if you have more apps than can be displayed in the limited number of pages allowed they will not be shown but are still available when you use search which is located to the left of the first page. You can also move apps to folders, allowing more apps to be visible on the pages.
Any other type of hiding of an app would be difficult as there would be no way easy way of launching it. Remember as well, that apps cannot run in the background except for limited functionality.

    Help Me please

    That would be software. And, you said "upload." That's "uploading software." Why do you question what you stated?
    I don't know where you even want to upload this software. The only way it can be downloaded to a device is through the iTunes store. Do you even know what you want to do?

  • I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone !

    I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone so I am very terrible to input my IDs and Passwords with my hands on FireFox Home when I log into Facebook, Twitter etc... Is it issue or something like that? If you have some solutions to make it clear, can you tell me how to syncronize memorized IDs and Passwords for the webs. Thank you.

    You can look in Tools > Options > Sync

    It's strange because I can change my AppleID country without this message.
    So what to do? Just try to do this again, but on another device. You may also erase cookies and history of your browser.

  • Reflection iCon like iPhone Apps

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering whether Keynote possible to create the icon like iPhone Apps' icons with the Reflection?
    How to do that?

    If what you mean is that shiny reflection that looks like this
    http://www.3dot5.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/apple-touch-icon-2561.png
    Then, yes, you can. The main part of the "reflection" is just a portion of a circle overlaid on the image with a white gradient. If you put that shape over almost any image, you'll get something really close to the look you're going for. I've uploaded a doc to iWork.com that you can deconstruct to see how it's done.

  • Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    We have cell data plan.
    I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off.  But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off.  I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off?  I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

  • How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    The Mac and iPhone sync with iTunes though the charge cable that is included with the iPhone. Through this, you can sync your calendars and contacts.
    Bluetooth is an impractical sync scheme as the time it would take to say transfer your song catalog could be longer than your phone contract. I suppose it is entirely possible to implement with hacks and jailbreaking, but I am fairly sure it is beyond the rules here to discuss such activities.
    You may wan tto ask this same question in the iPhone section of the comminitie here. There may be some workarounds for just contacts.

  • My iPhone was stolen and the phone is powered off. Is there anyway to command it to turn on so I can use the "Find my iPhone" app to track the location?

    My iPhone 4S was stolen a few days ago, and I was able to track the location with the "Find my iPhone" app. I had it play a sound which alarmed the thief, so they powered the phone off. They have not turned it on for four days now. Is there any way I can command it to power on or anything my service provider (Verizon) can do? Any suggestions will help! Not sure what they are going to do with it since a) they have not turned it on and b) it has a passcode and won't be able to be unlocked.

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
    Contact your carrier.  They may be able to block further use of the phone.  No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

  • Can't move icons in itunes APPS only whole pages move.

    In the last IOS 6.? I could log my iphone into itunes, go to the iphone APPS and there I could move single apps or even whole pages around to get them like I wanted.
    In iOS 7 trying the same situaltion I was only able to move whole pages around. When I tried to select a single icon to move, it still just moved the whole page.
    I looked for instructions but found nothing on how to move a single icon from one page to another.
    Thanks

    I finally figured this out. In itunes open the apps page and give it time to popluate for your device. Once the pages are there, double click on the page you want to deal with. Then click on the app you want to move (no dragging yet). It will appear as a single app which you can then drag and drop on the page of your choice.  Works really well after you get the hang of it but no instructions or clues from Apple anywhere on how to do it.

  • Why isn't my iPhone showing up on my iCloud so I can use the Find My iPhone app?

    Hey, okay so I have misplaced my iPhone and it has the Find My iPhone app on it, and is registered, but is not showing up on my iCloud so I can try to activate it.  Is there anything I can do or any alternate process to locate it besides via iCloud?

    i don't want to be that guy on the fourms adding to a 2-year-old topic, but you might want to try updating iTunes. The current version is 11, and that might help with getting the computer to recognize it.
    Also, have you tried unlocking your phone before plugging it in? That would resolve most mount/unmount errors.

  • Where can I find out which iphone apps use data?

    Hi
    My iphone has wi-fi 24/7, yet my data usage is over the limit. 
    Where can I find a listing of which iphone apps use data and not wi-fi? 
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    If your phone is on wifi, then almost all apps will use it.  The exceptions are those from your provider.  For example, AT&T apps will always use their network.  To determine if an app is using data, you need to install DataMan Pro.  Even then, you will only get general info and on an hourly basis. Use the process of elimination to figure it out.

  • Customizable themes and icons for iPhone

    Hello everyone ust got the iphone and have been trying to find a way through apple to get custom themes and icons for my phone to personalize it. I see the whole jailbreak thing and see all the apps that you can install but I would prefer to go throuhg Apple one becasue I dont want to mess with my phone and ruin it and two I have no problem paying for it just give me the ability to do it right why is there nothing out there already. There is so many out there as third party apps and Apple hasnt developed anything I have emailed the suggestion to Apple through the link on the website and heard nothing back. Am I not looking in the right places or is there nothing out there yet besides going the jailbreak, ibrickr route please help

    here are full directions on how to do it.....
    1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
    2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
    3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
    4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
    5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
    6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
    7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.

    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
