I am looking for an app for my iPad that can be used to record field work information in a specified format, with the ability to draw diagrams if necessary, and include photos taken from the iPad.

Any suggestions for apps that could do this?
It will be used to collect field notes for daily use on a biological field study site. It would be optimal if the information could be collected in a manner that can be moved easily into excel as well. Most of the data will be qualitative descriptions, and some of it quantitative numeric (time stamps etc). We want to make it extremely easy for the user to enter information, such that we will set up a template and the technicians can fill out the individual fields in that template with minimal software knowledge required.
Hope the community can recommend a few apps to test out.
Thanks!

I looked at Bento and at first glance I think it would do everything I want it to do, then I saw a review or something from a customer that indicated the information in Bento could not be exported (say to send out a mailing). I may want a program that can do that as well, is there one out there? If not it does look like Bento will work. When you save a picture to a customer in Bento can you open it up full size?

RecordStore and photos taken from the phone

Hi all,
When the user takes photos with his phone I want LWUIT to get a specific photo to add to a recordstore and later retrieve that photo.
How to achieve that ?
Thank you very much indeed

I have an iPad 1 to which I synced my photo libraries from my laptop. Unfortunately that laptop got stolen. I now have an iPad 2 as well with a new laptop. How do I get my photo libraries from my iPad 1 to my iPad 2 and to my new laptop...?

I assume that you haven't got a backup copy of them (?). You can copy photos that were originally synced from a computer off the iPad via third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network - you can then sync them to your other iPad. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

How to find the Administrator Name of OS X Server, and login to it from the Server app from another Mac?

OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and Server 2.2.2 on both Mac Mini Server and Macbook Pro. They are on the same WiFi network.
I want to use the MBP to manage the Server on Mac Mini Server and use the MacMiniServer to provide Caching Service for my MBP, iPad and iPhone.
The problem:
From the MBP Server app, it asks me the Host Name, Administrator Name and Administrator Password. I cannot get it right. Where can I find it from the Mac Mini Server?
What elese shoudl I do / learn?

Run Server.app on the host itself.
Click on the line on the left for the server itself (probably top or second down)
Click on the 'settings' tab.
Make sure you have 'Enable screen sharing and remote management' ticked.
If it's already ticked ...
Find the address you're using for the 'Host' field and try
ping [thataddress]
as a command in the Terminal on the client computer. Do you get numbers up, or errors ?
Use control-c to quit from the 'ping' command.

When I try and send photos taken on the pad to my work email, it literally takes up to 10 hours??? whats up?

WHy does it take so long to send photos taken on Ipad to another email address. Some have taken 10 hours?????

I have done all the updates necessary and uploaded my songs from my iPad but GarageBand continues to tell me I need a more updated version to open them on my Mac. Any suggestions?

I have Mac OS X 10.7.5 and GarageBand 6.0.5
My iPad has iOS 7 as well.
If you have any advice it would be very appreciated, I have downloaded everything possible and can't seem to find a solution to this.

the latest version of GB for iOS requires the latest version of GB for the Mac which is version 10 (which is free, but also requires OS X 10.9 [though that is also free])

Is there a filter available for content (such as ***********,violence, etc) that can be used in Safari?

I'm considering getting an iPhone. However, I'm worried about Safari. What if I stumble upon a bad website, filled with that kind of content? So there must be some sort of filter, available to install for the content streaming into Safari...

Thank you for the response.
I'm sorry to hear there is no list available. I'm building the Acrobat bookmarks automatically. The input data contains entity codings (for example, a lower case Greek gamma is coded as γ) and I was hoping to be able to just pass these through with an automatic conversion to a hexadecimal string (for example <FEFF03B3>). If I had a list of valid Unicode characters, that will display in an Acrobat bookmark, I could validate each entity before the conversion and catch the ones that won't display correctly. I know these types of characters are out there because I have already come across them. For example, a superscript 5 (0x2075) displays fine in MSWord but shows as a white box in a bookmark. Now I'll need to proof the output PDFs and look for white boxes in the bookmarks so that I can build my list of unicode characters that do not work in Acrobat bookmarks.
Again, thanks for your help.

How do I include multiple hyperlinked indices in a document and include keyword different from the word they link to?

I would like to include multiple indices in my ID document. How do I do that? I only managed to create a single index. And how do I let an index refer to a different word than the one in the text (e.g. "car" and "plane" are in the text but their index entry is "vehicle")? And how do I turn all index entries into hyperlinks?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received!

I can't find photos imported from my iPhone 4 with "Image Capture" to iPhoto in my iPhoto anywhere... and they were deleted from the iPhone after import! Can anyone help me find the photos?

Do you know the date they were taken? Try search on that.

I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

Indeed :-)
This forum is riddled with questions by users that cannot get their computer to do what they want, *despite* the fact they use a very precise and (usually) unambiguous method of telling it want they want it to do -- a programming language. Making it comprehend *natural* language is, by any way of measuring, a number of degrees more difficult.
That said: in what way would a computer program (advanced or "dumb") be able to help the OP? Spell check is one -- but it's not a *fact* that anything written *badly* equals nonsense. In politics, for example, the most eloquent speakers still manage to make a fool of themselves :D The same goes for "grammar". Of course, bad grammar is more difficult to understand -- EVEN for a human. So a computer is bound to fail on that as well.
Fact checking then? I usually can't even find what I want in one go with Almighty Google (which seems to turn things around: if it cannot find "enough" web pages with the exact phrase you asked it, it automatically assumes you are interested in synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and other *unrelated* stuff! Yeah THANK you but I want to find what I typed in!)
A good starting point would be to define in more detail what this hypothetical software *ought* to do -- that needs to be a bit more concrete than "I want it to do my job for me."

I am looking for an app for my iPhone and iPad, equivalent to Font Book on the iMac. I would like to be able to download a variation of fonts to use in Pages. Does this exist?

You can't add fonts to an iOS device.

You might give VueScan a try. It should work with your scanner. There's a demo version that you can use initially.

My iPad will not load my photos from my pictures using ios5 iTunes. Works fine with my iPod. Does the fact I have photos taken on my iPad have any impact?

My iPad does not load my pictures folders from iTunes. It works fine to my iPod. I am using ios5 and a pc, does the fact I have photos taken on my iPad got anything to do with it?

Having photos that you took with the iPsd has nothing to do with this at all.
When you sync photos to the iPad, you can select one main photo folder only - as described above - using the sync photos from heading within the photos tab of iTunes. You can have one level of sub folders within that main folder as well that you can sync to the iPad.
All of the photos must remain selected to sync each time or the unselected photos will be erased from the device.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the "Sync Photos From" heading and navigate to the pictures folder on your computer that you want to sync.
Click on all of the sub folders within that main photos folder that you want to sync. You can select as many sub folders within that main folder that you want to put on the iPad as long as you use one level of folders only in the main photos folder.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
