How do I get a Badge Counter in UITableViewCell on iPhone

Hi folks,
So mail has a grey oval counter with white text next to my inbox on the iPhone to show number of unread messages and various other third party apps implement the same thing. But how do they do it. It isn't built in, it isn't a label and as far as I can work out it is not a UIButton (which looks closest to it but has the wrong foreground colour).
Please help I am tearing my hair out

I'm pretty sure its a custom object because there are no interfaces available to do this. I needed this functionality and did it with a button and a custom image. It could also be done with a UILabel and a custom image as well.

  • How do I get a word count in Pages 5.5.2?

    I have a 21.5" iMac, bought December, 2014. I have Yosemite 10.10.2 installed and I am using Pages 5.5.2.
    How do I get a Word Count in Pages 5.5.2?

    View menu > Show Word Count.
    A floating panel will appear at the bottom of your document. Pass your mouse over the right-side of this floating panel and you will see up/down arrows. Click. Choose Word count from the list of available counts. The floating panel now displays word count, until you change it again. You can also move this floating panel with a command+click+drag, in case you want it below your footer content.
    You might want to download the free WordService service solution from the OS X App Store. I provides you with many additional features (e.g. Sort Ascending, Document Statistics, etc.) The act of downloading this application will install, but not activate several services. You activate what you want in:
    System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services : WordService:servicename.
    The WordService application will be in your LaunchPad (on your left Dock). Run it and choose Help. This will launch the Preview PDF viewer and a document showing all the Services available, and their description. Services in OS X act on selected document content. If you want more detail on the number of words, characters, and spaces in a selected paragraph, you would use Pages > Services > WordService:Statistics.

    You should find this information on the configuration page. To print a configuration page, press and hold the green GO button until all of the lights cycle, approximately five seconds, then release the button. The Configuration Page will print.
    You can find more information in this document: Identifying Page Count.

  • How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?

    How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?
    Problem: when I click Sync I get a warning stating "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone “Jarrod Vassallo’s iPhone” will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library."
    I don't care if the iPhone syncs with the laptop (and the music is lost), I just cannot afford to lose the Voice Memos too as they are very important. Any suggestions?

    To follow this user tip using iTunes 11, fist go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases (step 5) is now in File>Devices.
    If they're too large to email and you don't want to sync, the only other option is to use 3rd party software to transfer them using usb, such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

    You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

    You can't. There is no memory card. It uses flash memory that's soldered to the logic board. If you didn't back it up, your data is gone.

    Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.
