Compass App Placement

The Compass app on my new iPhone 5 is found in the Newstand app. It does not show up as a standalone app in the menu on the Home screen, or any screen. Is this normal, or did I do something to remove it as a standalone app? Can it be moved so as to be a standalone app? Thanks in advance.

First, turn your phone off, then back on...is the compass app out of the Newsstand app? If not, reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

CS4 jsx app.place leaving object problem

Hi,
I have a jsx script that I am developing for InDesign CS4. The script acquires an xml string, then after doing some manipulation on it, saves it to a UTF-8 file. After saving the file, the script does an app.place() using the file it saved. The file is brought onto the place brush and it works great up to that point. It places very nicely into the document, with a mouse click, after the snippet is imported. The problem is that after the place, when I try to save, via manually doing File --> Save, to an indd file, I get a message "Failure in saving. Object is invalid". Sometimes I receive more than one. If I try to close the tab and elect not to save instead , I receive the message(s) "Failed to purge records for ducument. Object is invalid".
If I reopen CS4 afterward and do a File -> Place and select the file saved by the script in the prior session, it not only places fine but then also allows me to save, cancel, etc. after the place; it works perfectly.
I'm pretty confused here. Is there some housekeeping I should be doing in the script after the place command or something?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
David

(idms? what's that?)
You shouldn't need to do any clean-up. As far as I can see, the preprocessing happens in Javascript, and all InDesign itself does is place the resulting file. Even the UTF8 part should not be a problem -- that is, Javascript has no problems at all with that, and InDesign should either reject it as a valid format, or read and place without parsing the UTF8 characters, or read and place entirely correct. (My limited experience with UTF8 in InDesign showing here ...)
As your Javascript creates a new file to be placed, you can try the following:
1. have your javascript preprocess the input and create the new file. Save that somewhere (but I assume the script already does that at present).
2. Quit InDesign. Yup -- let's make sure nothing remains in memory.
3. Restart InDesign, create a new blank file and import your processed file.
4. Try to save it.
Does that cause the same error? If so, it's #1. that causes some memory pollution, and you'll have to review your script. If not, your processed file may be malformed in some way that InDesign can't detect and can't handle. In that case, you should try to open it with a UTF8-aware text editor to make sure the UTF8 is okay.
If it is ... we'll have to think of something else.
[Ed.] I might as well add that the InDesign/Javascript interface is not as trustworthy as one may expect. I once tried reading in a data file of several MBs, and rather than a warning "Out of memory", InDesign simply crashed and burned. Whittling down the data file, one MB at a time, showed there was some upper limit which ID can handle, where above it would die without warning.

Compass App

Is there a Compass App. that will work just like the one in the new 3GS phone?
Ive seen many of them in the App. Store but no good reviews.

The iPhone 3GS has a digital compass, which is hardware not present in the 3G. The "compass app" in the App store uses GPS which requires you to be moving to determine direction. The compass in the GS shows the direction you're facing while stationary.

There is no compass hardware in an iPod touch, so an app is not possible.

IPhone 4, Flip leather case and the 'Compass' app..just some info

Hello Members, and anyone new to the iPhone 4 with a 'Flip' type case that has a magnetic clasp.
I had just got my new Iphone 4, and after fully updating it to iOS 4.1, I'd successfully managed to fix the screen protector that came with the all 'leather' flip case, and proceeded to slide the Iphone into it's new luxury coat closing it securely.
Leaving it while, and then coming back to my Iphone, I started to explore the device and went straight for the 'compass' app, just to see it working....
I notice it wasn't operating correctly, the app would either be really difficult to calibrate, and when it did, the pointer would not be stable and jerked around a lot.
Anyway...I found the 'flip' case to have been a bad choice purely because of a design flaw, see the phone kept wanting to slide out as I would use it, so off I went to buy another one.
I settled for one which was made of plastic, it was a black 'enclosure' type and even included the screen protector built into it, so no having to mess about with sticky thin films either..great, just snap the two half's together...job done!
Again, back at home and in the same location, I again started to explore the iPhone going from browser to app, and again fell back onto the 'compass' application, only this time it worked flawlessly, no having to 'calibrate' and re-calibrate, no jerking from the pointer, it worked smoothly and faultlessly, and then it had occurred to me as to why this might be.....?
The Iphone's directional tech is influenced by magnetic fields, regardless of whether it's 'geographic' north or 'magnetic' north, and was being influenced by the magnet that was contained in the clasp of the leather 'flip' case, I new this could only be the possible reasoning, as I'd been trying to get the 'app' to work all the time even when I'd crossed my local park while still in the 'flip' case on my way to the store, with always the same bad results, it was only when the Iphone was in it's new case did the compass app work correctly.
So, just a consideration to any new users of the iPhone 4, that's using a case that's got any kind of magnet, and that's having the same issues that I suffered, remember to 'calibrate' and try the 'compass' application out of these type's of case's before thinking there's a software problem, or fault with your Iphone4.
Kind regards
Livio

Figured it out! Compass Calibration was off in Settings - Location Services

How do i delete the compass app

how do I deletel tho compass app.

There is an app that I use on the phone that measures distance whilst playing golf.
The powers that be have decided that because the phone has a compass I cannot use the golf app in competition. Quite what difference it makes knowing which way I am facing relative to a compass is beyond me, but there you go, the people that make the rules of golf are somewhat archaic.
With that iin mind I'm wondering whether there is a way of rendering the compass unuseable if it cant be removed?

My accelerometer fail in compass app and some games

Pls help me I don't know how make the accelerometer works in minion rush, in compass app I can't calibrate the compass

Hi..
You can report the issue to Apple here.

Can I remove the compass app?

The golfing powers that be have determined we can no longer use our Golf GPS apps in competition because Apple have a pre-installed compass on the phone. Hopefully if the golfers generate enough fuss about this then Apple will release a software update that allows its removal. Its not rocket science Apple... but it is already causing a major talking point.

Removing the compass app would not stop the compass working in Golf GPS apps. The compass is a hardware feature with software to view its output. The phone needs to know which way it is pointing to provide an accurate GPS view.

Why is the "compass" app located in "newsstand" folder?

Hi....
Just wondering why the compass app is located in the newsstand folder on my iphone 4S?
Initially the compass app was on the main screen, but after I backed it up from my old ipod touch, it then appeared in the newsstand folder.
I've tried moving it on the iphone, also via my Mac when it's connected, but it won't let me move it.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Ah,
It seems I'm not alone here then.

Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on this.

The iPhone's compass app

I was wondering, is there any possible way of getting the Compass app from the iPhone on to my iPod touch? I hoped to find it in the latest software update (3.1.1), though was disapointed to see it wasn't, and I can't find it on the App Store, so is there a way?

The Compass app relies on hardware only present in the iPhone 3GS. Software updates cannot add hardware features (unless the hardware is already present but disabled e.g Bluetooth in 2nd gen touch)

No Compass App in Utilities Folder

Isn't the Compass App supposed to be in the Utilities folder? I only see Clock, Calculator and Voice Memos in the folder.
I have IOS version 6.1.3 on my iPod Touch 4.

The iPod does not have a compass app.

Apple compass app

Since updating new version ios7 for iphone 5,im so confusing how this happen that the apple compass app is not shown on home screen and i can see this only in settings but no way u can open or can this transfer from settings to home screen,does anybody out there have same problems,i have read some reviews said some have issues like mine is missing apple compass app so wierd...any suggestions how to get this app.....thanks

First of all, an idle threat is one that a person has no intention of carrying out. In the past 16 months that I have had this phone I have become less and less satisfied and found that it is like much of today's technology....over rated and under performing. The one thing that I have never been accused of is not wanting, or not giving help but when a company makes itself unavailable to resolve issues and leaves it to forums run by users helping users, it speaks more about the company than anything else they could do. As I said, I do not make idle threats and I did not threaten you in any way. Guess I'll call this topic done with as it is not and was not the intent to get a war started
