How to create a iPod/Iphone Home Screen icon

My icon file is a 512*512 pixels PNG file. It works fine on my devices
during development.
And when I try to load to iTune, it seems like iTune can not display this
since it requires a 57*57 PNG file.
Could anyone show me how to convert this 512*512 PNG file to 57*57 PNG file?
I am a new Mac user and it will be appreciated if you can show me how to do it?
Thanks.

Are you talking about when you upload your app to iTunes Connect?
Your app needs to contain a 57x57 pixel icon in PNG format. It should be referenced in the Info.plist file - there's a property called "Icon file" in it. Drop the icon into your project in Xcode, and enter the name of the file, e.g. myappicon.png into the "Icon file" entry in Info.plist.
When you build your app for distribution, it will be included and iTunes Connect will check your zipped package for the correct icon.
If, however, you want to know how to make it a 57x57 pixel icon, simply use Photoshop or GraphicConverter or any of the other myriad paint apps to resize it.
Don't add the shine and rounded corners effect that you see on icons on the device, the iPhone/iPod touch will do that for you.

IPhone Home screen icons

When I create a home screen icon most of them place a custom icon on the home screen, usually with the websites logo. But a few of them just place an icon with a shot of the whole page.
Is there a way to request or create a custom home icon from a site?
In particular I'm looking for one for the Royal bank of Canada website at either:
www.royalbank.com
or
www.rbc.com

The website your are visiting must have a webclip icon stored on their server... You can try contacting them to see if they will add one... Here is what they need to do:
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.

Restore iphone home screen icons web page

I have too many webpages saved on home screen, wondering if they are going to be lost when restore from a backup. Is there anyway to save the urls in a single place?

HOME screen icon problems

On a web page everytime i click the + button to add it to home screen, it works but now all my icons for each one i bookmark are the same. They used to be snapshots of the webpage mostly or an official icon like google etc. Now its a set of weights for the icon which is annoying as now i ave about 7 with the same icon.
Any help would be appreciated

Here is the problem. If the web site does not have a custom made icon in the 'root' directory of their web server, the icon will look like the web page you are bookmarking.
If you want to add an iPhone/iPod touch Home screen icon for your website, create a 57x57 pixel .png image file, name it "apple-touch-icon.png" and upload it to the 'root' directory of your server.
Here is one I created for Macsimum News.
Here is what it looks like on the screen. The iPhone/iPod touch automatically scales the round corners on the image.

How to edit the buttons on iPod Touch home screen

How do you move around/delete icons on the iPod Touch home screen?

Hold one of the buttons until they all wiggle, drag around as desired (also to new home screens) and press home button to stop the madness.
This is all provided, however, that you have the 2.0 or the January Upgrade.
Hope this helps.

Verizon iphone. how can i get to the home screen without activating it on a plan

how can i get to the home screen without activating it on a plan

Unless it is a 3rd party cord, there is no cord that just goes from the phone to the wall. However, you will need a cord that connects to the computer and the phone. The device is in recovery mode and you will need to restore it. See this support document for the instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Custom Icon for iPhone Home Screen

Does anyone know if there's a way to upload an icon to the site so that people can add it to their iPhone home screens? Thanks!

Hi!
If you use Business Catalyst you can use the file upload to put the file apple-touch-icon.png to the root. iPhone will then recognize this file when you create a shortcut.
You can also access your Muse files via FTP (I'm on a Mac and use Cyberduck), and upload the file to the root there.
Tip: Create your icon in 300x300 pixels with 327 dpi. This will make the icon look really sharp and great on Retina displays.

How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

How to create a parameter id on screen element

How to create a parameter id on screen element
reply urgent

Hi Madan,
Check this info.
Parametere Id is the one which holds the memory for the particular field. when we need to pass the the field from one screen to another use the parameter Id.
The SAP Memory is a user-specific memory area of the application server, which is accessed by all main sessions of a user session at once. ABAP programs have access to SPA/GPA parameters stored in the SAP Memory (also called SET/GET parameters).
Eg. Of how to use Set parameter
you can give value of variable (dobj) to parameter ID 'pid'. This will store value in SAP memory
SET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD dobj.
When you want to use that value stored in SAP memory
you can use GET parameter.
GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD dobj.
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.
To fill the initial screen of a program using SPA/GPA parameters, you normally only need the SET PARAMETER statement.
The relevant fields must each be linked to an SPA/GPA parameter.
On a selection screen, you link fields to parameters using the MEMORY ID addition in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement. If you specify an SPA/GPA parameter ID when you declare a parameter or selection option, the corresponding input field is linked to that input field.
Check this link.

How to remove items from iPad home screen?

How to remove items from iPad home screen?

Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

Cannot move applications to previous pages from iPhone home screen

This is a recent issue that I just noticed today. When I press and hold on an app from my iPhone home screen, I can move it around within its own page, or move it to succeeding pages. However, the phone will not allow me to move the app to a PREVIOUS page! It quickly tries to move to the the left, until it resets itself on the current page its on. My only way around this is to synch the apps from iTunes. Has anyone else been experiencing this bug?

Thanks for the advice, but this still does not work. Again, I've had no problems moving apps between home screen pages until now. This seems to have occurred right after downloading an app from the app store today. I'm running OS 3.1.2, and the phone will literally "pull back" an app I'm trying to move to a previous page, whether I move it to any previous page (currently using four pages of apps at the moment). It will let me move an app to a subsequent page, but then it's stuck there (i.e. it cannot be moved back to the page I moved it from). The only way to move it back is through iTunes. What the heck is going on here?

Change IPhone home screen

Is there anyway that you can change your Iphone home screen from black to whatever you want it to be?

1. Is there a way you can point me in that direction? if not, Is apple coming out with an option with this feature?
No. That would violate to terms of usage for the forums. We would be in big trouble. Speculation of unannounced features s also not allowed.
2.Then in getting the software, will it void my warranty?
Yes, hacking the iPhone voids the warranty.
