Getting started with the iPhone SDK
Ok, so I downloaded the iPhone SDK to my Macbook Pro and installed it. When I go into the Developer folder I can find an xcode program, version 3.1, but I can't find how to get an IDE environment running to start writing code in. In short I'm new to the Mac platform and could do with some help getting started writing code for the Mac/iPhone platform. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to get me going?
(btw, I program in other languages on other platforms so I understand programming and its concepts, just not specific to a Mac ;D )
http://developer.apple.com
There are some good basic tutorials about XCode and then some good videos in the iPhone section

Getting started with the flex sdk
Hi,
I have been reading and reading this forum looking for an
answer to this question - have found lots of other great info :-)
I have installed the Flex Builder 2 trial and didn't get to
it before the trial ran out - got busy. So, now I'm down to the sdk
to get going with Flex. I have the sdk installed and the sample
apps have been compiled and they work. I have copied and pasted a
sample form and saved the file as .mxml. I have launched the
command line sdk. Now what do I do? I assume I type in something
and that something will include the file path to my mxml file that
I want compiled. What are the commands for the sdk so I can do
that.
I hope I'm on the right track :-)
Thanks!
joChange to the Flex bin directory and use mxmlc like this:
mxmlc path/to/my/App.mxml
This should create a SWF file that you can then run. If you
plan on posting the app somewhere, you'll probably want to create
an HTML wrapper. You can use the wrappers in the html-templates
directory.
For more info on using mxmlc, see the online help (type
"mxmlc -help list") or look in the Compilers chapter of the
Building and Deploying book. For more on using the wrappers, look
in the wrappers chapter of the same book.

Since 2 updates I started getting iTunes could not back up the iPhone 'my IPhone' because a session could not be started with the iPhone. This is happening with my iPad and iPhone. I see hundreds of complains on this issue starting from last year and obviously Apple has no clue how to solve this error. I went through the solutions and spend over an hour deleting backups resetting lockdown, restarting and nothing is working. Are they serious to ask us to disconnect all other USB devices to sync our equipment everyday to solve their problem? iTunes is the worst program I have seen on the market in the past 10 years. It reminds me of DOS programs that could only do one item at a time. You click a command and just wait and wait and wait. Of course they want me to call customer service, wait for x time to talk to tech support and then spend more time. I don't have the time. I spent a lot of money to get an equipment that should work as advertised and not spend further my valuable time. I have reached my limit with Apple and that crap iTunes. I'm calling for a divorce.
[By the way, your spell check doesn't recognize your own products such as iPad, iTunes and iPhone. Such an embarrassing company.]Do you happen to be running any processes that Apple doesn't want you to use? (Jailbroken?)

ITunes could not back up the iPhone because a session could not be started with the iPhone
Hi
I have just updated to iTunes 10.7.(oh it just scrolled off the screen give me 5 minutes for it to come back again) 10.7.0.21 - the latest version
I run Win7 64bit & during installation i got the blue-screen of death & windows crashed
I went to apple website & downloaded iTunes manually & installed (it tried to install in the (x86) folder as usual, so i forced it into the 64 bit program folder like i always have to do.
It now runs fine but when ever i sync in get the error "iTunes could not back up the '' iPhone because a session could not be started with the iPhone"
I have tried deleting the existing backup as suggested in the forums but that didn't solve the problem, and now i have no backups at all
I have restarted the iPhone & the computer but the error is still the same.
PS i have "Encypt local backup" selected, if i try to unselect that option at the moment it says my password is incorrect, my password is correct, i made a record of it & know exactly what password i used but iTunes is saying it is wrong, is this because i have no backups at the moment or is iTunes completely broken
I have also tried to backup to iCloud as a temporary measure but it says i don't have enough space so must buy some!
Any help would be appreciatedCould be that iTune can't read your latest backup file. You might have to delete it, follow this article to find out how to delete the backup from the list: iTunes: "Backup could not be saved on the computer" alert message

Itunes could not restore the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone
Recently I sent my iPhone 5 to apple service centre as my phone could not turn on and stuck at apple logo. The technician use DFU restore and successfully reboot my phone. However, all my data and content are being erased. Now I tied to restore from my back up using iTunes 12.1.0.71 with iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.3, error message pop up. itunes could not restore the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. However, I still can sync my iPhone to iTunes. I am so frustrated as I need to get all my contact back from my previous back up. Please help. Thanks.
Hello brendalhl,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like a session could not be started to restore from a backup. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't back up or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes - Apple Support
"... a session could not be started."
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Although I'm learning I am a complete programming / javascript / json / jquery novice so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or i have failed to understand the new restful api functionality which is available under this beta.
In the past, where a client has had really specific functionality that was not achievable within the BC framework, I have implented an external php application (with the help of a web developer) and simply linked to it via a sub domain. Obviously not ideal.
My hope is that the new api functionality will open up a range of possibilities that will go some way toward eliminating the need to build extenal applications and simply extend the existing BC framework using the added api functionality.
One example that i would like to move solely on to BC is the following - http://mylist.grocerwatch.com.au/
The above is a grocery pricing comparison website whereby the applicaton highlights the cheapest and best value (comparible) products. The application also allows the user to select from the items displayed to create a shopping list showing where to buy the selected products for the best value. The user can also email, print, or save their shopping list.
My question is for someone who is more farmiliar with the new api and who is perhaps more experienced than me with programming. Would it be possible to create the above solely on BC without sacrificing speed, security, functionality etc?
Thanks. -

We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch.
Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
More details below.
Thanks,
Fab
Here is a video showing the steps I followed
If you don't want/can't see the video. Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far:
GratestCommonDivisor.lvproj C Generation build specs Information:
C Function prototype definition:
I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
Then to run it I just type
I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.
Certified LabVIEW Architect * Certified Professional Instructor * LabVIEW ChampionHi Kevin,
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.
Thanks,

I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?
Labview isn't cheap, but it would certainly allow you to build a program (set of vi's - virtual instruments) that would do what you describe. Where would the timecode information come from? Your vi, or program, would: Start up, initialize the serial port, loop until a trigger happened, read the timecode (from where?), output that timecode out the serial port in a loop until you pressed the stop button. There is a free evaluation of Labview software available from NI - the base product itself runs about $995.

Getting Started with the BlackBerry Classic
Reposted from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog
Whether you are new or experienced with BlackBerry 10, here’s a quick guide to get you started with the BlackBerry Classic!
Step 1 – Insert your SIM and media card
The first step you’ll want to take after unboxing your new BlackBerry Classic is inserting your nano SIM card and media card. When you have your nano SIM and media card (optional) handy, use the tool that is provided in the BlackBerry Classic box to open the SIM card tray.
To do this, push the tip of the tool, or a paperclip, into the hole that is to the left of SIM on the side of your device. Doing so pops the tray out at which point you can pull it all the way out.
After doing this, with the metal contacts of your nano SIM card facing away from you, place the nano SIM into the tray, then push the tray into the slot. Repeat these steps to insert your media card by inserting the tool, or a paperclip, in the hole to the right of SD along the left side of your device.
Tip: If you don’t have the right SIM card please contact your service provider and ask them for help switching to a nano SIM card. Please avoid using a larger SIM card that has been cut to a smaller size as this may cause your device to not recognize the SIM card. Using a modified SIM card may also result in it getting stuck since the modified SIM card may be thicker than the required nano SIM card. When you have finished inserting your nano SIM and media card the next step is completing the BlackBerry Classic setup wizard.
Step 2 – Complete the set up wizard
If you haven’t already, turn on your BlackBerry Classic by pressing and holding the power button on the top of your device so you can complete the setup process. This process guides you through connecting to a Wi-Fi network, setting up a new BlackBerry ID, or signing into your existing BlackBerry ID, as well as showing you several fundamental gestures.
Tip: If you don’t have a BlackBerry ID you’ll be able to create one during the setup process and, in the event you don’t remember your BlackBerry ID password, use the Forgot Password option to reset your BlackBerry ID password. Don’t forgot to confirm your BlackBerry ID, which can help you recover your password in case you ever forget it!
When you have finished the setup wizard, the new and improved Setup app will open automatically.
Within this app you’ll be able to complete the following actions that will help you learn more about your new device and customize everything just the way you like
Find out what’s different about BlackBerry 10
Understand the various gestures used throughout your device
Add your email and social networking accounts
Transfer data from your previous device (See step 3 to learn more!)
Customize your device notifications
Setup BBM so you can connect with family and friends
Set a device password
And more!
When you have finished going through the various options within the Setup App, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to minimize it. You can always access the Setup app in the future by tapping on the Setup icon as well.
Step 3 – Transfer data from your previous device
If you are switching from another device, whether it be BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Android or iPhone, there are several different methods you can use to help transfer data to your new device.
For a visual overview, check out the following videos that guide you through this process. The Setup app on your BlackBerry Classic can also help you do this, just open the Setup app, tap Switching Devices and follow the provided steps.
Android device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
BlackBerry OS smartphone to BlacKBerry 10 smartphone
iOS device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
If you encounter any issues transferring your data, or would like some guidance, stop by the Device Switch board within the BlackBerry Support Community Forums and ask the community.
If you switch from another device don’t forget to perform a security wipe on your old device to remove your personal information. If your previous device was a BlackBerry device, check out our post on how to perform a security wipe.
If you use a different type of device, review the user documentation to learn how to reset it to factory settings and remove your personal information.
Step 4 – Secure your new device and turn on BlackBerry Protect
If you haven’t already set a device password, I cannot stress enough how important this is. Doing so can help prevent unwanted access if you leave your device unattended and, in the event you misplace your device, no one will be able to view your personal information. To set a device password, complete the following steps:
On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen
Tap Settings followed by Security and Privacy
Tap Device Password
Set the Device Password switch to On
Enter your desired password twice
After setting a device password make sure you verify that BlackBerry Protect is enabled on your device by going to Settings followed by BlackBerry Protect.
When enabled, BlackBerry Protect can help you locate, lock, or wipe your device where you are, provided your device is connected to the mobile or Wi-Fi network. To learn more about BlackBerry Protect go to http://protect.blackberry.com.
Step 5 – Where to learn more and find help
The easiest way to learn more about your new BlackBerry Classic is by opening the Help app, which contains a lot of useful information ranging from tips and tricks to how-to overviews. You can also view, download, or save the user guide for your device by visiting http://docs.blackberry.com.
I would also recommend reviewing BlackBerry Classic how-to demo videos that show the various features and functions offered by your device. These demos can be viewed on your device, computer, or tablet. Several BlackBerry Training courses are also available – make sure you try these out on your computer, or device to learn more about the BlackBerry Classic and BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1.
What's New in BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
Introducing BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
Supporting BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
Introducing the BlackBerry Classic smartphone
Another great way to learn more is by taking the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, which you can find within BlackBerry World. This app offers short quizzes that can help you learn more about your device and it only takes a few minutes to complete each test – it’s the perfect coffee break companion!
To get the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, open BlackBerry World and search for it or click here. Another great resource to learn more about your device, beyond this blog of course, is the BlackBerry Classic support site located at http://www.blackberry.com/classicsupport
