Do you need Photoshop to make apps for iPhone?
Which Photoshop would be best to get? If you don't need Photoshop, then where would I design my apps? Can I design it in xcode?
Sorry, I haven't owned a copy of Photoshop since 1997 I think. I think that was a student version I paid $250 for. If you want information on Photoshop, I suggest asking in a Photoshop forum. As a developer, Photoshop has little value for me. Sure it has lots of features, but I am way too busy to learn them. Give me fast and easy instead.
A vector tool is a program that allows you to create vector imagery. These images a composed of mathematical definitions instead of pixels. They can be scaled up or down with no loss of resolution. When you draw with a vector tool, you can make perfect circles and other shapes that would be impossible with freehand drawing in a raster tool like Photoshop. Popular vector formats are Adobe Illustrator, EPS, SVG, and sometimes PDF.
Vector tools are important for developers because you can build your artwork in a vector tool and easily scale it up or down to match your device. You can't just shrink down a big image to make it smaller. It will be smaller, but blurry and lower quality. Using a vector tool gives you more control to shrink down and maintain crisp outlines and recognizable shapes.

Why do they make apps for iPhone and dont make matching apps for the mac?
So I lovvvvveeee my MacBook Pro! I have wanted one for many years and finally got to get it. I have also been a iPhone user for many years, sense the 2nd. one came out. I have a huge issue though! I love all the different types of apps that they both have. I just dont get why it is that you can use a app for the iPhone that doesn't crossover to my Mac. That is so dumb! If they make it for one product say the iPohne then they should make it for all of them! Why don't they do so?????
Hi Jenn,
I see you already had a discussion about this and its really terrible that newsstand isnt there, but i thought I might share a few apps that do exist on both ios and mac in order to sync the two or atleast make your iphone a bit more of a sidekick to your mac or viceversa as I faced the same problems (some of them are stock apple apps but they are the best solution in my opinion).
Calendar: Use the normal reminders and calendar apps on the iphone and mac, they do a neat job syncing up
Browser: Chrome, you do need to have a gmail account for this but icloud for safari isnt as good as chromes syncing for your bookmarks and open tabs and saved passwords.
To Do lists: Wunderlist/Producteev, I suggest two here because both are excellent with the former more aesthetically appealing but the latter allowing for more functionality
Mail: Mail for Mac is generally good, but the syncing here is achieved by setting up as IMAP so make sure you always setup all your accounts as IMAP.
Notes: Dashnote, the stock notes on Mac are a bit inaccessible at times and you often lose them, so i suggest using dashnote, please note that dashnote is a widget in the dashboard on the mac and not a dedicated program but it is an app on ios
Music: Stream to me / itunes match, both of these are paid services but they allow you to share your music across both the iphone and the mac and they seem to be worth it for the price
News articles and interesting weblinks: Pocket, not a lot to say except for that its nice
Storage, and arguably a good way to read pdfs and docs on your iphone: google drive/skydrive
Messaging: Apple messages, skype
There are many more apps but these are just the ones i know and use. Hope you find some of these apps handy. -
I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?
I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?
No. You will not be able to work on documents that are stored in your iCloud.com account. You will able to download them from the cloud and revise them on your Mac. You don't need another app for that. You will need to buy the appropriate apps for the iDevices if you want to sync across all devices - Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
The documents will sync across all devices that are Set up to use iCloud. You need to set up iCloud on the Mac and your iDevices in order for the documents to sync across all devices. You must be running Lion 10.7.2 on the Mac to use all of the features of iCloud. -
Need Photoshop Elements RAW plugin for Canon 70D using MAC
Need Photoshop Elements RAW plugin for Canon 70D using MAC - please advise where I can find it to download. Thanks.
To work with the Canon 70D, you will need Camera Raw version 8.2 or later:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
In order to work with this version of Camera Raw, you will need Photoshop Elements 12:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
If you do not have Photoshop Elements 12, you can use the DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG, which will then work in whatever version of Photoshop Elements you have:

I need facebook app for iPhone IOS4.2.1 please
I need facebook app for iPhone IOS4.2.1 please
Only the current version of each app is available in the store, if you downloaded the app when it was compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have a copy of it somewhere (e.g. on a backup) then you should be able to install it on your iPhone. Otherwise you will need to see if any of the third-party Facebook apps that are in the store work on iOS 4.2.1, or you can try accessing it via Safari.

I need a multiple message voice mail app for Iphone 4S that also provides an auto-attendant, e.g the caller can dial 1 for one of business's or 2 for the other. Each of these options will need to have a different voice mail greeting. Help please?
There are no alternative voicemail apps - the core functionality of the phone can not be replaced.
You'll have to look for an external service, that can then forward calls for each caller onto the correct phone.
At our business we use Voipfone.co.uk which allows multiple phone lines to come into one VOIP account. -
Do i need to buy an app for each device or one purchase.
Do I need to buy pages app for every device or will one purchase do all my devices.
One purchase for Macs and another for iOS devices. Note that if you're using a computer with Mac OS X 10.5.2, you'll need to either upgrade its OS or install the DVD version of iWork, which is separate from the Mac App Store version.

i use captivate 8, the problem when i make app for android. the sound not heard.
i use android4.4. how i do?
i use phonegap online.
thank youYes I do spend a lot of time in China but I have had problems in other countires as well. I am in China right now.
I have two Gmail accounts and one Cox account. Cox is my intranet provider back home. I have had problems with all three accounts.
I have tried several outgoing port settings. 993, 995 465, 587 are some that I can remember trying.
Sometimes my accounts will go offline without me doing anything. This is all a mystery to me. I don't have any idea why I have trouble like this. A few minutes ago I changed my Cox account outgoing port and took the account on line and I got my incoming email but when I tried to forward an email that I got it would not go out.
Any ideas you have would be helpful. -

Why cant Apple put App Store in iTunes .
Thanks
YakubThe iPhone and the Mac do not run on the same operating system. IPhone apps do not run on a Mac. Mac apps do not run iPhone. If the developer has created an app for both the iPhone and the Mac they almost always sell them separately in the respective app stores.

Just got a new Iphone 5s. On my Iphone 4 I had to double click to show what apps were running and then to hold my finger on an app to deactivate it. Do you need to deactivate the apps on the 5s? If so how do you do it.
Double tap the home button to reveal the "Recently used Apps" then slide the App preview (not the icon) upwards to quit the App.

Marydee-You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images & how 2 get info
Marydee- You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images. And you also asked how to get photo info for each image in iphoto
Here's what I found in the iPhoto6 Help Menu:
Showing a photo's image and camera information
iPhoto stores EXIF information with each photo in your library. This information includes the photo's image size, the date and time it was taken, and the type of camera it was taken on, as well as important exposure information, such as the shutter speed, aperture, and film ISO.
To show image and camera information:
Select the photo and choose Photos > Get Info.
You can also see a photo's title, date taken, rating, format, and comments by clicking the Information button in the bottom-left corner of the iPhoto window.
Also please take a look at these prior discussions in iPhoto Forum/s:

[SOLVED] Terminator, "you need to install python bindings for libvte"
Upgrade terminator to 0.96-3, with new dependency to vte3.
It suggested to remove vte, which is not needed any more. So I followed the suggestion.
Then I can't open terminator! Got a error dialog "You need to install python bindings for libvte".
Finally, I installed the vte package to fix it.Indeed, vte is still required.
