In addition to exploring the iPhone Dev Center, get +Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK+ by Mark and LaMarche. I spent several months trying to learn the SDK from the online docs and the sample code. Then I got Hillegass, which is one of the best ways to learn Cocoa, but didn't cover the iPhone. Some of the really important controls and controller structures were still a dark mystery. Then Mark and LaMarche came out last November and I couldn't help thinking, "If I had only had this to start with! Just get it. By the time you get to Chapter 9, I expect to see you answering a good number of the questions in this forum.

  • Developing for the iPhone?

    Is there an IDE for developing applications to run on an iPhone? When they came out I remember Apple saying "you Will be able to write programs, but not yet"
    Also, does anyone know if you can control a peripheral with the usb cable that comes out of the dock?
    thanks.

    Apple is planning on releasing an SDK for the iPhone in February. Until then, you can only write web apps for the iPhone.
    Also, does anyone know if you can control a peripheral with the usb cable that comes out of the dock?
    I expect you'll need to wait until the SDK is out to find that out. It will probably depend on whether or not the necessary code to control the USB port exists in the iPhone's OS, and whether or not Apple considers it a security risk to allow access to it.

  • If i already have a data carrier setting in my iphone 4, and i want a upgrade for the setting via itunes, will it write over my existing settings?

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

    But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

  • There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro

    There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro.  I have credit on the Mac Book, but can't see it from iphone.

    Are you checking from within the Apps section of iTunes on your computer? Is there a reason you can't download it directly to the iPhone?

  • I have an IPhone 5 black, an want tho change for the white one.

    I have an IPhone 5 black, an want tho change for the white one. Only 17 days and the painting is foling of :( . The phone is protected from day 1. Need help. Bought from Vodafone Portugal.
    Thx

    If a defect in a single device causes you decide that you will no longer purchase Apple products, that is certainly within your rights to decide. But I'd suggest you allow Apple to replace your iPhone, which again will be another black model, and see if that unit fares better. Then if that replacement iPhone has the same problem with the coating flaking off, you would have justification for asking Apple to replace the black iPhone with a white one.
    By the way, we are all just fellow users here, so making blanket statements about Apple's overall product quality and threatening to stop buying Apple products really is of no help to anyone.

  • How much do i have to pay if i want to upgrade my iphone 4s for the iphone 6 plus

    how much do i have to pay for upgrade an iphone 4s to the iphone 6 plus?
    how much do i have to pay for exchange a broken iphone 5s for a new one?

    some retailers buy your phone and help u to put credit towards new iphone. if your iphone has accidental damage it will cost you 299 CAD dollars, if the only screen is broken it will cost 119 dollars. if the iphone is under warranty. i suggest you to replace the display first then. wait for the iphone to give you issues so that geniuses replace the iphonr for free

  • Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

    Hi,
        I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
    but all the time i am getting the following error.
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
    pls help me to downgrade my device.
    I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
    Regards
    Ram

    You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
    You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

  • Making a game for the iPhone and iPod touch!!!

    Hi, I'm not really sure if this is where this thread belongs, but I couldn't find a better fit category, sorry!
    Anyway.
    I'm a complete NOOB at making games. I'm a complete NOOB at flash animations and coding a game with the iPhone SDK. In fact, I have NEVER coded ANY game in my LIFE before, nor touched flash development programs, with the only exception being a month or two using Game Maker 2.0 which involved about 3 lines of code per game .
    I want to develop a quality game for the App store and sell it. My basic idea is using flash to animate some people and having a sniper-type layout where you have to shoot things. (Sorry if I'm being vague, I dont want anyone to take my idea. There's more to it, including one really "clever" aspect of the game (in my mind) which is why I think I can get it to sell.) If its a really great quality game, how long do you estimate it will take me, start to finish, including learning to code with the SDK, to finish this project? 3 weeks? 2 months?
    Thanks!

    Hello, 
    You can't use Flash as that's not available for the iPhone/iPod touch.
    You can find out about developing for the platform here:

  • I have a iphone 3gs I am thinking about purchasing a ipad2 do I have to repurchase apps I have for the iphone for the ipad?

    I have a iphone 3gs. I am considering buying a ipad2, do I have to repurchase apps for the ipad that I purchased for the iphone?

    No, unless there's an iPad version of your App that the developer wants to sell separately.

  • What kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6?

    I want to get a case before we upgrade to the iPhone 6.  Some of the cases we are looking at (Speck Mightyshell) do not come with screen protectors.  I was wondering what kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6 and if a screen protector is even necessary?

    The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
    I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

  • Can i use my husbands upgrade for the iphone 6 promotion

    My line is technically not eligible for upgrade, but my husbands line is (we are on a family plan with my mom). Last time I upgraded, they let me use my husbands upgrade since his was available. Can I do this for the iphone 6 promotion or will they not allow it?

    Can I transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another?
    If you have multiple devices on your account and one is eligible for an upgrade, you can transfer upgrade eligibility to another line on your account whenupgrading your device in My Verizon. When you transfer eligibility from one line to another, the original line is no longer eligible for the upgrade discount.
    To transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another line on your account:Go to the Upgrade Device page in My Verizon.
    Click Transfer Upgrade.
    Note: If the Transfer Upgrade link isn’t appearing, you may not be eligible to transfer an upgrade at this time
    Select the mobile number you want to upgrade. This will transfer upgrade eligibility to that line.
    Select the device you want to upgrade to and click Next.
    Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the remaining steps to upgrade your device.
    You’ve successfully transferred your upgrade eligibility to another line.

  • How do i convert my imovie trailer for the iphone 4 to other file formats?

    I'm due to make a comical presentation in 2 days, and i downloaded iMovie for the iphone 4, and would like to use the trailers created as part of the presentation.
    I'm on windows xp, and have sent the file to itunes, gone into the file sharing part, added it, saved it, and even synched the flipping thing and yet it wont even play in itunes??? thats driving me mad as it is??
    Not really bothered about that....My real main concern is wanting to play the movie file in an AVI/MOV/MP4 etc format, and have even downloaded various video conversion packages to try an convert and playback my results, but once again, and a few hours wasted, I find myself facing another brick wall.
    Is it even possible to playback the imovie trailers created in a more generic video format for others to see??
    I really do hope so!!!!
    If not, then apple, i want my £2.99 (about $5.50) back, coz that would be as pointless as a paper ashtray.
    I hope ive not had my pants pulled down and wasted my money an time on this.
    Please someone help me, or put me out of my misery.

    Actually, scrap that one girls. Ive figured it out. For those who have a similar prob, just make sure you have quicktime installed. plug ur iphone into ur pc as normal, and choose the camera an scanner options that appears auto on ur window. select the trailer u wish after the usual wizard talk through and then "ok" or "apply" or whatever the button is called. select your destination folder, and walaa. its all done, and converted into .MOV format.
    NOTE:  When saving ur trailer on ur phone, and it asks what file size, chose the Medium one, or it takes ages to open.....unless ur comp is super fast, and not like my craptop.
