Dumb question re iPhone 4 screen

In the upper right corner to the left of the battery percentage, a picture of a lock appeared with an arrow circling it. It just appeared and I'm wondering I did/locked...?

The icons are described and explained in the manual:

This is the orientation lock symbol.

Dumb newbie question on iphone development

Hi there, just a quick dumb question: Can i develop Iphone apps in Windows platform? This is b'coz I dun have Mac machine.

a simple answer is YES in opposite of what you read here.
+I'm a .NET developer and I started building web apps in .NET (ASP.NET).+
The iPhone/iPod Touch supports 2 different ways to develop something for it, a Web Application (applications that runs on Safari browser, like Facebook and Wordpress) and a SDK Application (Self contain applications, like games, utilities, etc). *Under Windows, you can do any Web Application*, you will need a Mac to do SDK Applications
Reading the Wrox book entitled: Professional iPhone Application Development (ISBN 0470251557) in page 5 the writer tells about 4 levels to do Web Apps:
*Level 1 - Full compatible website/application*
The ground level approach is to develop a Web site/app that is “ iPhone/iPod touch – friendly ” and is fully compatible with the Apple mobile devices. These sites avoid using technologies that the Apple mobile devices do not support, including Flash, Java, and other plug - ins. The basic structure of the presentation layer also maximizes use of blocks and columns to make it easy for users to navigate and zoom within the site. This basic approach does not do anything specific for iPhone/iPod touch users, but makes sure that there are no barriers to a satisfactory browsing experience.
(just like http://del.icio.us/
*Level 2 - Web site/application optimized for Safari*
The second level of support for iPhone and iPod touch is to not only provide a basic level of experience for the Mobile Safari user, but also to provide an optimized user experience for users who use Safari browsers, such as utilizing some of the enhanced WebKit CSS properties supported by Safari.
*Level 3 - Dedicated iPhone/iPod Touch web site/application*
A third level of support is to provide a Web site tailored to the viewport dimensions of the iPhone and iPod touch and provide a strong Web browsing experience for Apple device users. However, while these sites are tailored for iPhone/iPod touch viewing, they do not always seek to emulate Apple UI design. And, in many cases, these are often stripped - down versions of a fuller Web site or
application.
(just like Amazon.com and Facebook)
*Level 4 - Native - looking iPhone/iPod touch application*
The final approach is to provide a Web application that is designed exclusively for iPhone and iPod touch and closely emulates the UI design of native applications. One of the design goals is to minimize user awareness that they are even inside of a browser environment. Moreover, a full - fledged iPhone application will, as is relevant, integrate with iPhone - specific services, including Phone, Mail, and Google Maps.
I did 2 web apps using Dreamweaver for Windows, using Level 4, coding plain HTML - there is no visual aid, but you just pick up an iPhone/iPod Touch (or if you don't have this, use Safari browser or any WebKit Browser).
You can always start here
Remember, if you really want to build a self contain application in Objective-C/Java, then you need a Mac running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), with XCode (the Mac Visual Studio) and the iPhone SDK
Hope that with this you can see some light under Windows

Weird, Maybe dumb question. My iMovie screen is gone

This may seem like a dumb question, but it has rendered my iMovie useless. Somehow, my iMovie screen got minimized and I can't see it. et me explain. I open iMovie, the menu bar is there. If I select an opion such as show fonts, or open new project, I get the menu screens for that. However, I don't see the workspace. I have ried playing aound with expose or spaces as it seems iMovie is hidden somewhere,but nothing seems to work to get it back. I tried recovering an older version, but that didn-t work.
thanks for any help you cn provide.
ESL

All I can suggest is the standard troubleshooting steps in order.
Restart your iPod: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset your iPod: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Restore your iPod: Restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make an appointment to have an Apple Genius look at your iPod. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

Cracked iPhone screen...questions re replacement

Ok Ive had my Verizon iPhone since February...yesterday my worst iPhone fear came true...I dropped my iPhone about 4 ft onto cement in 30 degree weather... Over half the screen was really cracked...I have a 32gb so I think vzw charges a $199 deductible...so I found this shop that replaces cracked iPhone screens...he told me the labor itself would only be about $30-40 but then he looked the part price up in his book up to his iPhone 4 CDMA parts guide & mumbles something like "digitizer" & blah blah then tells me the part would cost $150...I asked him what if I brought him the part would he still did it & just charge for labor...he was very nice and said he would do that.
Then I went online & googled iPhone 4 replacement assemblys & saw them for as low as $25 the I saw some for $55ish but nowhere near $150...is there a legit reason why he would charge this price...is the what an apple OEM screen replacement assembly costs, & I was looking at all non-OEM products? What are the downsides, if any, to replacing the iPhone screen with a non-OEM..are some of the features absent, like the oleophobic coating?
So I guess my question is what does an "iPhone screen replacement" assembly include? Besides the screen itself & a "digitizer" (not sure what that is) and how do I know which ones are trash out there & which ones are good? Would you advise any non-OEM product at all?
Please give me any info you have on screen replacement packages, & possibly where I can purchase one that won't be garbage. Oh & also if it says it is meant for CDMA model...should I assume it is going to be the glossy version?
Thanks!

So if I'm clear here you have thus far paid $109.90 for insurance and after paying another $199, for a total of $308.90 Verizon will replace your iPhone? Or, as has already been noted you can pay $149 at an Apple Store and get a replacement with a 90 day warranty.
I have no idea why in the **** you are paying for that insurance. I would talk to a Verizon rep about it before doing anything.

May be a dumb question...

Just got the iphone and am excited and FRUSTRATED! I just read through some of the earlier posts about ringtones and a bug in being able to sinc...just successfully resolved or got around that problem.Now my dumb question is...I played a couple of tracks I downloaded but seem unable to stop the track...I can pause it but unable to stop it...please help me.
Thank GOD for you guys.

single touch the screen when a song is playing and some extra controls that let you pause/stop a song come up. it also shows a slider so you can drag your finger through a song to skip to the part you want to hear.
also, depending on how your iphone is configured, try pressing the home button twice (i.e the rounded square button). if you click that twice, quickly, you may see control come up that let you pause/stop a song.
check out the tutorials movies on the apple support site for lots of useful tips.

A dumb question about wifi...

I'm not as 'literate' as some are when it comes to computer technology...but here is the question...If I walk into a place that has wifi and my iphone is set with wifi ON, how will I know if there is a charge for using the wifi? Will my iphone automatically kick into the wifi or will there appear an invitation to pay a fee to connect...and how do you pay and do you have to have a password and if so, how do you get that? I know....dumb question...Thanks.

Not a dumb question at all.
First of all, set your iPhone up like this:
1) Go to Settings on the main screen (looks like gears)
2) Click on "Wi-Fi" (second option from the top)
3) At the bottom of this page (Which should say "Wi-Fi Networks" at the top) turn "Ask to Join Networks" to the "ON" position.
Now when you walk into a place that has Wi-Fi, your iPhone will display a little window that asks you whether you want to join the network or not.
In some places, you may even see a list of more than one Wi-Fi network to join. This is quite common in New York City. The reason is because so many people have Wi-Fi in there apartments, and they all live so close together, that sometime your iPhone can detect multiple networks. The coffee shop near my apartment has their own network, but I can also connect to the Wi-Fi network in my apartment because I only live about 50 feet away.
Anyway, when you see the list of Networks to join, you may notice a little padlock symbol next to some of them. This means these are closed networks that require a password to connect to. (My network is "Closed", ie requires a password so that everyone in the coffee shop next door doesn't use my internet).
Networks that DO NOT have the little lock symbol are "Open" which means you can join them without a password. But there is a catch... A lot of coffee shops have open networks, but as soon as you try to browse the web, they redirect your browser to their own page, no matter what web address you enter. Basically, they are letting you connect to their network without a password, but not letting you browse the internet without giving them some money.
So (as the previous poster said) the page that the coffee shops redirects you to, usually has instructions, and of course a place to put in a credit card. Once you do all that, then you can browse the internet without getting redirected to their little payment page. Its sort of confusing because you don't need a password to connect to their "open" network, but you do need one to browse any web pages. How you get the password differs from coffee shop to coffee shop, but usually they give it to you right inside your web browser once you give them your credit card number.
T-Mobile provides wireless for Starbucks (at least in a lot of places they do). So once you have an account with t-mobile, you can use it in any starbucks or "T-mobile hotspot"
Now this all sounds kind of complicated, but more and more these days, you can just walk into a place, find an open network (one without a lock next to it) and start browsing without being redirected or dealing with credit cards. Basically these places are providing free internet to try to attract customers.
Good luck
P.S. Wi-Fi eats up battery life. If you aren't going to be using it to browse web pages, you can go into settings, then Wi-Fi, and turn Wi-Fi off. This will save you battery life, but you have to remember to turn it back on. Even without Wi-Fi on, you can still browse the internet if you see a little "E" at the top of your screen. The E stands for the AT&Ts Edge network, which isn't as fast as Wi-Fi, but covers pretty much everywhere that your phone can get a signal.

How to View iPhone Screen on Laptop (PC) screen?

Hi
The question is How to View iPhone Screen on Laptop (PC) screen? It is not a jailbreak Iphone. I know there is an opp to hook it up to desktop computer screen via HDMI, but will I get the same result plugging Iphone into laptop via HDMI?
Are there any way to show Iphone screen onto laptop display?
Thanks.

You can, however, view the Mac display on your iPhone. Or stream video and music from your Mac, too.
Google +"Telekenesis" +"iphone" for the details.

How do you get your iPhone screen on your computer?

Two really quick/dumb questions!

Hi All,
I have just bought a new Mac Mini and hooked it up to my Samsung 55 inch TV via HDMI and everything seems do be working great.
My two dumb questions are:
1: where on the new OS (I had a Mac 5 years ago and things have changed) is the top "Finder" bar and "disc" icon to save files?
2: In Safari I do not seem to have a tools bar where I can for example open another tab for a new web page.
Hope you can help a nubby :-)

You are running a Mini so it might be that the screen resolution is not exact for your display. I have used a Mini with a conventional display but not HDTV. You might need to go into the settings for the TV to set the screen resolution to accommodate the mini's capabilities. Sorry that I can't offer more on that score; when I use my Sony Bravia HDTV it is with the iPad2 and HDMI and I have encountered no issues. Perhaps someone else on the forum has better insight into the Menu Bar problem on the Samsung as the principal display.

Basic questions on iPhone apps. Please help!

Hey I have a few semi-basic questions about iPhone apps. If you know the answers to any of them please respond as it would help me ton. Even if you dont know the exact answer, it'll help me with any input. Trapster is a good example of what im looking for because it uses a map and it receives/sends small amounts of data constantly.
1) How much on average does it cost to hire a group of people to code an app for you. Specifically, how much do you think the app Trapster took to program? Are there any specific other apps you know how much it took to code? I need estimates, because I have nothing. A number like 50,000 would help a ton more other then saying "it depends" .....
2) Apps like Trapster, send and receive small amounts of data all the time? What controls all of this data? Im guessing a server. But what are the server's specs? How many? Price per month?
3) With 3.0 SDK now out, you are now allowed to implement google maps into 3rd party applications. Now I know you cannot use it for turn-by-turn navigation. But can you still use the directions feature already on google maps? Can you still use the search feature to search for a restaurant as well? Or maybe you can just see the map and thats it. Does anyone know exactly what you can use with google maps or know where there is more information? Ive tried everywhere.
4) Just tell me if this is correct: You can add advertisements into your app. On average, for every 1000 times your app gets opened, you get about 1.00-2.00. So if your app gets opened 2,000,000 times you get $2,000 from advertising if you get 1.00/1000. Is that accurate as an average?
5) Since 3.0 now supports push notifications, would you be able to have anything at all running in the backround? For example, on trapster, if you approach a red light camera, the app beeps. With 3.0, if you are on the home screen and approaching the camera, is there a way of getting the iphone to beep even though your just on the iphones main screen or any other screen? Im guessing not because in order to receive the push the iphone needs to know your current location and the location of the camera, which is why the app would need to be running. Incase im wrong is there a way of doing this?
6) If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?
Thanks!

>"If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?"
Of course.
It's called 'reputation earned'. You negotiate your future based on attention from something (a free app?) that amazes the known world. Could be a book deal after you spend your young/old life crossing the divide - could be a marriage proposal that brings great wealth - could be a cabinet position with a station in a foreign tax haven.
Use your imagination.
As for cost, pull a number out of your hat and then double it...then double it again. Same goes for time, staff and delays.
Ad-ware is so yesterday. Find something more current to scrape off your shoe

Apologies for dumb question

could someone answer my question please, i thought 3g was for the internet why are people talking about it in other terms? what does it have to do with calling people? thank you and sorry for dumb question

The first iPhone only had 2G (2nd Generation) data network. The new iPhone connects to the 3G network (as well as the old 2G). The phone will only talk to one or the other at a single time. It cannot run on both at the same time.
So with that in mind, everything that you do is going one network or the other. Some people are seeing differences in call quality between the two. Everyone sees that using 3G make a big impact on the battery life (it uses more power).

Reeeeeeally dumb question

Total computer-building newbie here. Had a nice guy at the local Fry's help me pick out the parts of a new system, including my swanky K8N mobo.
So, I've got me my mobo, my tower, couple of hard drives, internal modem, couple of CD/DVD drives, video card, 1394/firewire thingie card. And thanks to earlier help from kind people here, I actually managed to get all this stuff assembled, installed WinXP -- in short, I'm up and running.
Except I just discovered that I apparently don't have sound.
SUPER dumb question: Do I need a sound card? Or should what I have give me sound? And if yes to that, which of the three audio plugs do I plug my speakers into?
(And while I'm at it, how do I figure out which version of BIOS I'm running?)

The firewire card is leftover from my old machine. I've got two different iPod docks (15GB and 40GB) to plug in, so I do use it.
As for which mobo I have, here's what the manual has on the front: NVIDIA nForce 3 250Gb Chipset Based, K8N Neo Series. I think there's a regular and a Platinum version of this and I think I've got the regular, because I don't have the various optional items shown in the manual (e.g. I have two SATA connections, not four).
I just went into the BIOS set-up screen and I didn't notice anything related to sound. Where should I be looking?
Now, you said I should make sure I've loaded the driver software for my mobo. The last week of computer assembly and software installations has left the old noggin' a bit muddled. I would assume if I've gotten as far as I have (WinXP w/ SP2 and Office installed) that somewhere along the way I would have done this. Wouldn't I have? If not, do I download them from the MSI site? Should they be on a disk I got?
And if I can re-ask that other question from my original post: How do I know which BIOS I have and that it's updated. In the BIOS set-up, it said this: Phoenix-Award BIOS, W7030NMS V1.3 072804 13:15:30.

Probably a really dumb question...but so am I

Just bought a brand new iMac (specs below). Old one? Panther (3.10.9), 1 GHz, 2 RAM, 80 GB space)
Keeping the old iMac. A perfectly good machine. Only reason I bought a new one: kind of maxed out regarding my primary use of a computer...home music recording. Just needed more space, power, speed, etc.
Question: Before I call the phone company (our ISP: ATT), want your advice.
Can I just hook up two computers (both iMacs, one old, one new), on the same telephone line (a land line...this would be the only phone line coming into the house), and have them work? Or, would the ISP, the telephone company, charge us more for doing this? Meaning operating two computers on the same line simultaneously. (Forget about wireless here. Don't use it, not sure that I will anytime soon.)
Why couldn't I just plug in the other computer into a phone jack in another room in the house and have it work while the other one, in another room but using the same phone line, is running at the same time? Both simultaneously. (Sure, I'd need a modem for each machine going into the ethernet port.)
As I said, possibly a dumb question. On the other hand, I'm pretty dumb too.
Thoughts, advice, suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

It's probably connecting to a broadband modem (DSL or ADSL). That device allows you to get the high speed internet going on using the same phone jack in your house, and connects to the computer through an ethernet cable.
"Old school" or dial-up modems are traditionally built into the computer or plug into a USB port, and then use a normal phone cord (same thing other phones in the house use). Aside from being super slow, your line is usually busy and you're unable to make/receive calls when you're online.
I'm guessing you're connecting to a broadband modem (since you mentioned ethernet cable). With that in mind, the answer is yes, you can hook both those computers up so they can be online at the same time. What you need is what's called a router or switch, and they're not very expensive. One line connects to your broadband modem, then you have 3-4 jacks that you can plug additional computers in (so they can all use the connection at once).
If you want to have the machines in different rooms but don't want to run wires everywhere, look for a wi-fi router, which will usually give you a few jacks for connecting computers that don't have wi-fi but will also let you do a wireless internet hookup for your new iMac, the old one (if it has wi-fi), and even iPhones if you have 'em.
Apple has two products that might work for you. The Airport Extreme Base Station has super-fast wifi plus jacks for plugging computers in via ethernet, and even lets you share a printer. http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/ The Time Capsule does all that, and also has a built in hard drive (you can get with a 1TB or 2TB hard drive), which is great for using Time Machine. We've had a Time Capsule since they first came out and love it - super easy to set up, and all the backup stuff just happens without having to worry about it.
Hope that helps!

Might be a dumb question, but I am moving from 1st gen to iPadair; on Safari, 1st gen to delete apps/sites just visited, you could double tap home key and apps would appear on bottom and one could delete from there. How does it work on ipadair?

This may be a dumb question, but nonetheless, here goes:
I just moved from 1st gen ipad to new ipad-air. Great and happy! But, one thing I can't figure out how to do is to delete the pages/sites/apps that I have just used? For example, on the 1st gen. you could double-tap home button and past actions would come up on bottom of screen. I could then delete them one by one, to keep things cleaned up. Am I missing something here? Does it keep a log irregardless? Not the same as deleting history - at least didnt' work for me.

Close apps and not delete apps.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen
