I'd like to see a wiki appendage for the iphone

This is an idle thought, but I was looking at the fabulous wiki for the works of Thomas Pynchon the other day -- http://pynchonwiki.com/ -- and thinking that it would be great to have a utility that lets your phone scan a line or two of the book and then connect to online annotations of that passage. This would allow you to retain the pleasures of reading a fixed-type paper book, but have all the flexibility of the online annotating community.
Something like a "see through" lens, where you can slide your phone (or tablet, whatever) over a portion of the page and "see through" the phone (via a camera lens or scanning surface) to the text underneath until you pass over the passage you are interested in (which you would capture and then send to the wiki for comment). I've tried OCR for the iphone with very poor results, so this kind of "anchoring" system for linking real paper text to wiki entries (etc.) would not be easy to build. But I could do a lot with it as a teacher, and as a reader.

Tell someone who make iphone apps.

  • I would like to see a video mod for the camera...

    I found a freeware app on my treo 600 that made it's still cam into a video cam. Not too shabby. So I am hoping apple can be an after the fact bang up job on the iphone.

    You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:

    Thank you for the link. I have sent in several suggestions now!

  • The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

    The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
    I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • How do I change the icloud account on my iphone? I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air and imac and iphone). I can't see where I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey?

    I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
    Help!
    Thanks

    Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud.  In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens.  Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device.  It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
    The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days.  When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question.  However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload).  Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this.  If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

  • Is there an "Unread Mail" solution for the iPhone that would allow me to see all new Unread mail?  I have ove 100 subfolders with rules that redirect mail.

    Is there an "Unread Mail" solution for the iPhone that would allow me to see all new Unread mail in one location?
    I have an iPhone 4 (not 4S). I use the Outlook client with an Exchange Server on my Desk. 
    In order to keep email organized, I have many subfolders (over 100) under my Inbox with rules that automatically redirect the bulk of new unread email to the subfolders.
    In the Outlook client on the desktop, there is an "Unread Mail" Folder that lets me see ll unread mail in one location whether it be in the main inbox or in one of the subfolders of the inbox. 
    I would like to see all unread email in one location without me having to change my rules and work flow that I have been using for 7+ years?
    It is much more work for me (so far) to see new email on the iPhone.  You have to scan each subfolder in order to tell where the new mail is that just arrived.

  • This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    Prior to going you can rent and download them on your iPad via its iTunes store app, or rent and download them on your computer's iTunes and connect and your iPad and move them to it - they will go in the iPad's Videos app.
    Some people have posted that they need to start playing rentals whilst they still have internet connection, so you may want to watch a few seconds prior to going offline - you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires.

  • Is there a way to see in itunes all of the games available for the iphone

    I am trying to find a list of all the games available for the iphone.  I have gone into the app store and click the games link but all I can find is the main games page that lets you see "What's hot", "What we are playing" etc.  Does anyone know if there is somewhere on itunes that I can get a complete list?

  • I would like to obtain a lens profile for the Leica D-Lux 5.  Is that available?

    If by "Final Cut Title" you mean the Basic Title (that you also get by typing Control-T), you can edit that title by right clicking on the Basic Title template in the Effects Browser >Titles > Bumper/Opener section, and selecting Open a Copy in Motion.
    In Motion 5, turn down the disclosure triangle on Main and select the Title layer (in the layers column). Under the canvas at the bottom right are several icons -- click on the one to the right of the gear (Filters) > Stylize > Extrude.  In the Inspector, select the Filters tab and right click on each one of those parameters and select Publish (that includes the Gradient). At the bottom, select the Publish OSC control (so that it is Checked.)  Everything you just published will appear in the Title Inspector in FCPX.
    Save As and give it a new name (although there will already be a "Copy of Basic Title" in FCPX -- happens as soon as you open in Motion) -- something like Extruded Title.
    Back in FCPX, you can add that title to your storyline and use the OnScreen Control to create your 3D effect however you like it.
    If you like, you can pre-setup the text to appear like you would generally like to have it in it's "starting" condition (for instance, ramp up the text size, set colors, etc.) Every time you save, however you have the title set up in Motion is how it will appear in FCPX when you add it.

    I bought an Iphone 4S 16Gb from softbank - Japan. I would like to buy an active code for my Iphone, how can I do and where can I buy?

    That iPhone is useable only on the softbank network. Softbank does not
    unlock iPhones for use on other networks. Sell that iPhone to someone who
    can use it on Softbank and use the money to buy an iPhone that will work
    with your wireless provider.

    I can completely understand your frustration...and I wish you the best of luck.  But as a Finance Manager, trust me, a person with great credit taking a ding on their report for an amount of such will have a heck of an impact...more than you probably are aware of.  Will it stop you from having credit extended to you...probably not...but it will have a significant impact on your score and 99% of all lending institutions don't rely on human eyes to view a credit report...it's all automated.  A credit score is assigned and an interest rate it reflects such.  Very little a human can do to get it altered...trust me, I know.
    Fight a good fight with VZW if you so desire...but don't take a perfect credit score and ruin it over this situation.  Even if VZW at some point corrects this issue...getting a TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax to correct an error is tough...really tough...you'd probably have better luck finding a ship at an airport than having them actually correct an error.  I know $7K is a lot to hand over...especially if you're unsure of getting it back...but as crazy as it may seem, and I know it does, excellent credit takes years to build and only 1 bad month to ruin...and it lingers for YEARS!  Again, good luck!
