Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?  Of course the GPS location feature will need to be on in order for this to work.  But the idea here would be to optimize battery life by disabling the 'call home' requests of apps.  The settings profile should also support downloads as I would like to download and allow it when I am on WiFi but not so much when I am using my cellular data.

No, this is not possible as the sandboxed nature of iOS would not allow any app to modify another app like that. Such a feature would have to be enabled by Apple as a part of iOS itself. You can submit feedback to Apple about the idea if you wish to.

  • Isn't there an app that can track what apps are using up your resources?

    There really ought to be!  My battery time stinks, I have to recharge my phone all the time, it's I took it off the charger at 8:15 and it's down to 84% and I barely used my phone today.  I've tried every suggestion I found on here and it hasn't helped.  The one thing that COULD help is if there was some kind of task manager like in windows that showed you what apps are using which resources so at least I could tell if there's something running that is constantly using up all the resources and milking my battery.  This is really frustrating.  I just checked and my battery is now at 83% and it's been locked this whole time.  I'm sorry but that is not normal.

    another symptom--after doing nothing but some light texting, she sent 30 mb of data in an hour.  That strikes me as being way out of line.

  • How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    If you sync with the new computer it will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the selected content of the new computer.
    The pics that you have taken with the iphone should be imported regularly to your computer as you would with any digital camera.  You can then organize them and sync them back to the iphone if you wish.
    If you have had itunes perform a backup on the new computer, you should get the pics taken with the iphone back, but I would import them before trying anything.

  • If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If the device has the same Apple ID signed onto the iTunes & App Store, then you can download any apps purchased under that Apple ID to that device.
    I thought you were asking about a game and game statistics being shared between two devices with two separate players. What I said about that is that if it is under the same ID, then the game is going to have the same statistics on both devices, and any updates to those would be reflected in both places. So, two different players wouldn't be able to have separeate statistics if they were playing under the same Apple ID.

  • Can't iPhone have Thai keyboard the same way as the PC keyboard?

    I been using iPhone since 3GS, 4, and now 4S.
    I been using WhatsApp communicating with my friend and family a lot.
    Since I'm from Thailand, I use Thai keyboard in WhatsApp most of the time.
    iPhone Thai keyboard is very difficult to type.
    Can't iPhone have Thai keyboard the same way as the PC keyboard?
    iPad already has it.  Why can't iPhone has it?
    Many Thai people feel the same way as I am.
    Many iPhone user in Thailand jailbreak their iPhone because they want the keyboard the same way as PC keyboard.
    All iPhone user must use the keyboard everyday to communicate.
    Imangine that Thai people have to use the keyboard everyday and having a hard time using it.
    Please consider giving Thai people the keyboard that we can use with ease.

    To turn on Thai keyboardin your iPhone with iOS4.0.2++, follow the steps below.
    1. Go to settings
    2. Select General
    3. Select Keyboard
    4. Select International Keyboards
    5. Select Add Keyboard...
    6. Search for Thai
    This should add Thai keyboard to your iPhone.
    In order to use Thai keyboard during text SMS/MMS,
    Tap and hold on the lower left where there is a "Globe" like icon. You should see a small window with a selection of keyboards available. Without letting go, run you finger (still holding to the globe like icon) to Thai and you should be able to start typing in Thai.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

  • When I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    when I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?

    Hello,
    I'm Chintan from India. I have visited UK for study and brought iPhone 5 for me. I used it for about 16 days and now its started showing the problem of coverage. I mean, it shows "NO SERVICE" at the place of carrier name and tower symbol.
    My query:
    Do Apple have this kind of worthless service provider policy?
    I have visited the local authorized service center and they are not accepting my iPhone 5 and telling me that they can not accept it for repair or service because I have brought it from UK. I have checked my iPhone 5 status on the Apple Site and it is showing full cover of Repair and Service, then why the local Apple Authorized Service Center is not accepting my iPhone 5?
    Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?
    Kindly help me out as I'm stuck with the so called APPLE IPHONE 5.
    Looking for the POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE and HELPFUL reply.
    Thank You

    You should have read the warranty/support terms before you made your purchase. Had you, you would have found that iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the country of original purchase(except for the EU where warranty/support is EU wide). In your case, your warranty/support is only valid in the EU, as you have now found out...after your purchase. And, you are correct, they will not service the phone in India.
    Always been this way with the iPhone.

  • I have new music on the itunes but have not a clue how to put it on the iphone, it only seems to want to put the old songs on

    Are you manually managing your songs?
    In itunes - music do you see checkmarks next to your musis/songs.  IF so go find your new songs click on it and then sync your music again.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

  • I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use..

    I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use.

    I would just leave them in Word...GR reads many formats very easily.
    If our goal is to work on/edit the files it may be useful to look into something like Pages if you have a Mac, and the Pages for iOS devices so you could use the same word processor on both machines.
    But if you convert the Word to PDF and then use GR you can still edit the files...GR will edit and annotated PDF files rather easily.

  • I have tested the search/ find fuctionality on the atuovue version electro mechanical, I want to know if these features are there in Atuovue 2D and 3D.

    I have tested the search/ find fuctionality on the atuovue version electro mechanical, I want to know if these features are there in Atuovue 2D and 3D.

    Hi Negussie,
    The difference between AutoVue Electro-Mechanical Professional and AutoVue 2D Professional is related to file formats supported and functionality which are related to those formats. For example when using Electro-Mechanical you can view all the formats supported by AutoVue (Office, 2D, 3D and EDA formats). When you are using AutoVue 2D you can only view Office and 2D formats. This is the main difference. Now if a functionality exist in Electro-Mechanical related to either Office or 2D formats the same functionality is exactly the same in AutoVue 2D. In your case if all you need to do is view Word documents and search for text you should definitely purchase AutoVue 2D Professional and you will be able to do it the same way you do it with Electro-Mechanical. If you want screenshots from AutoVue 2D Professional you can send me a mail to [email protected] and I can send you the screenshots but you will see the feature is exactly the same.
    Thanks,
    Daniel
