Does iOS Support Animated GIF's?

Do animated GIF's play on the iPod or iPhone in mobile Safari by default? I know Flash won't & want to make a decision on best way to put a simple animation into a web site. If not any suggestions on what format best to make animations?

@DarenG
I wasn't offended Daren. I do see an awful lot of questions here where it is the same simple thing asked over and over again and many cases where the questioner is simply not seeing how they are the root of their own problem or are not looking in the logical place. Wyodor has answered other questions for me in the past and I know he is very helpful to a lot of people. In my case I was expecting a simple "yes" or "no" yet he went to the trouble of posting an example. I really appreciate that.
@JamesWard4
I am glad I didn't ask the "Flash" question but it was sort of related.

  • "mail contents of this page" won't support animated gifs

    Let me start by saying that i know that Mail doesn't support animated gifs. However, up untill last year, i was able to email moving animated gifs by putting them online and mailing the content of the safari page (command i). I haven't made any updates to Mail or safari, yet this feature suddenly stopped working. I am still able to use command with still images, but when i try to use the command on an animated gif, nothing happens and it's grayed out in the menu.
    I can't figure out how to email a moving gif via gmail either.
    (Just to clarify, I know I can send a gif file, but It's useless if it doesn't show up as a moving image in the recipient's inbox).
    Does anyone have a fix for this issue or another idea how to email a moving animated gif?
    Many thanks!

    Yes, that was the problem. Mail couldn’t save a temporary copy of the message in Drafts because AOL doesn’t let IMAP clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved, and this causes Mail to not work properly if Store messages on the server is turned ON for any of the mailboxes in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors. You should turn Store messages on the server OFF for all the standard mailboxes, so that they are stored locally instead.

  • Does iOS support syncing contact photos using Bluetooth PBAP?

    I know iOS supports PBAP.
    I know the PBAP protocol supports syncing pictures (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg28488.html)
    Does iOS supports this too?

    No one would have any idea what Apple plans, unless they announse - which is very rare.

  • HT204387 Does iOS support Bluetooth printing, any idea by when would that come out.

    Hi
    I am trying to print a receipt using bluetooth on an iPhone app, the printer is a Zebra printer QL 420 plus. I am unable to do so. The iOS documentation states Air Print as a method to print. Is that the only option that we have to print using iOS.
    This is urgent as I have a customer delivery.

  • Does Preview Run Animated GIFs?

    Greetings!
    I've 10.4.11 and though Preview's Help section says it views(runs) animated gifs I've found no way to do so ever since Panther. What's the trick -- if any?
    Thanks!
    JimWG

    Hi Jim,
    It doesn't animate in my 10.4.11 Preview, but drop it on or open it with any Browser, like Safari, or get GraphicConverter for even more options...

  • Does iOS support IMAP IDLE on the iPhone?

    If not, when is it going to be implemented? I have iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 at present, and I only have the option of setting my IMAP accounts to Fetch on 15 minutes intervals.
    Implementing IMAP would be rather trivial for Apple and a god send to those of us who have many IMAP accounts.

    Sorry for bumping this old thread out.... but its iOS 8 is comming.
    First of all
    > It's the, you know, constant and persistent part. I.e. the fact that the connection is kept alive all the time.
    This is BS. RFC suppose to use idle notify as 29mins, so it is going to wake up phone every 29mins, or every email arrives. So in case if you set your mail app to poll mail every 15 mins and you haven't any mail received in that period, your poll was useless, I mean your performance already has lost to imap idle. By the way, you think apple's push work differs from sending alive msgs or actual data to openned socket?...
    Sorry, that was to clear things
    Does anyone know if finally apple decided to add imap idle support to ios8??

  • Does iOS support virtual memory and a swap file?

    I'm getting conflicting reports on this one...

    From +Memory Usage Performance Guidelines+
    Both Mac OS X and iOS include a fully-integrated virtual memory system that you cannot turn off; it is always on. Both system also provide up to 4 gigabytes of addressable space per 32-bit process. In addition, Mac OS X provides approximately 18 exabytes of addressable space for 64-bit processes. Even for computers that have 4 or more gigabytes of RAM available, the system rarely dedicates this much RAM to a single process.
    To give processes access to their entire 4 gigabyte or 18 exabyte address space, Mac OS X uses the hard disk to hold data that is not currently in use. As memory gets full, sections of memory that are not being used are written to disk to make room for data that is needed now. The portion of the disk that stores the unused data is known as the backing store because it provides the backup storage for main memory.
    Although Mac OS X supports a backing store, iOS does not. In iPhone applications, read-only data that is already on the disk (such as code pages) is simply removed from memory and reloaded from disk as needed. Writable data is never removed from memory by the operating system. Instead, if the amount of free memory drops below a certain threshold, the system asks the running applications to free up memory voluntarily to make room for new data. Applications that fail to free up enough memory are terminated.

  • HT1695 I use a Wifi router and I have to connect using a ppoe connection. Does iOS support that and how to configure it on aniPAD?

    Does anyone know how to configure a PPOE connection?

    Take a look at this thread.

    I think the answer is no. Not directly using ios.   

  • Does iOS support SRV records for Active Sync autodiscovery?

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940881#
    From my testing, the answer is "no".  I'm sure my SRV records are correct, but when adding an account in iOS the user is still prompted for a server address.  Has anyone made this work?

    Hello!
    The GSS itself only supports A records, meaning it only responds to that type of query from a client.  You can configure an NS forwarder to push non-A records to another server that can handle it.  As well, you can run CNR in conjunction with the GSS which will respond to MX, SRV, and NS records. Some versions of GSS code allowed you to run CNR on the GSS itself. (CNR = Cisco Network Registrar).
    More specifically to your question - CNR supports RFC 2052 (SRV records) and is fully interoperable with Dynamic DNS SRV records (RFC 2782).

  • Does iOS support viewing Track Changes?

    I'm trying to open Word documents that contain track changes but the iPad only seems to view the 'Final' version. Curious if there is a setting to change this. Thanks in advance.

    I wish Apple would go back to the way changes and comments were displayed in Pages '09 rather than the way they are displayed in Pages 5. It seems like a massive step backward and I even had a professor state that Microsoft veered away from the direction that Apple seems to be moving toward with this last update. So I have elected to keep using Pages '09 because I am working with scientific manuscripts that have various drafts and it is to important to be able to quickly identify who made changes rather than slowly clicking through each edit to find the specific ones that are critical.

  • Using animated gifs with transparent background.

    Hi guys,
    Keynotes 6.2.
    I have been onto apple support with this problem.
    I add a transparent animated gif to my project.
    It show as a movie correctly in the presentation but when exported as quicktime or HTML the movies fail.
    We eventually found out that quicktime does not support animated gifs. ( support.apple.com/kb/ht3775 )
    So I exported the animation onto a folder with all the frames separately and brought them into final cut pro.
    I then followed these tutorials on how to export with transparent background. ( http://provideocoalition.com/mspencer/video/fcp-x-and-alpha-channels and http://www.larryjordan.biz/fcp-export-transparency ).
    I now have a quicktime movie that if I bring back into Final Cut Pro it has a transparent background.
    However when I bring into keynotes it still has a black background. (presumably keynotes does not recognise the  Apple Prores 444).
    Any ideas how I can achieve what I need. ?
    I am using a program called crazytalk animator and can output with transparent background. Animated Gif or a series of image stills BMP, JPEG, TGA or PNG.
    Cheers
    SteveW

    This has been an ongoing issue for me since I switched from Powerpoint to Keynote. Most of the animated gifs with transparent backgrounds that I used with Powerpoint are no longer transparent in Keynote. You may want to search for those earlier threads on this topic...
    To summarize: I've had to open up my animated gifs in After Effects and use the Color Key effect to restore transparency, with mixed success.
    Good luck!

  • Why don't apple add animated gifs support on their products

    It's so annoying that their products still don't support animated gifs it will be great if they added this feature. And it will be great if they add Bluetooth file share.

    Apple is not here. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you would like to share your thoughts with Apple, please do so here:
