I want to program iPhone applications, want to start learning from scratch. Where do I start?

I have wanted to program for a long time and now I have a mac I want to begin on the wright track. Which language should I start learning and what others will I need in the future? I started learning c++ awhile back but wasn't sure if it was the right language for iPhone development so stopped till I could afford a mac as I couldn't be an iPhone programmer without a mac anyway. Any advice to put me on the right track would be brilliant and much appreciated. Also I heard learning design is a major aspect, when should I learn this or should it just be picked up through learning a language. And I should add I don't want to go to college or university as I am doing this as something ontop of my full time job. Thanks

  • How do I restore playlist folders from iPod classic to iTunes? The library is intact, but the playlists are not and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch!

    After reformatting my HD and reimporting all songs back into iTunes succesfully, the playlist folders are gone and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch. How do I restore playlists from iPod classic to iTunes 11.1.3 without resorting to 3rd party options?

    I actually tried that in "my computer" by renaming the drive and then got this:
    g-raid (F:) (H:)
    then after reading your reply realized I should try renaming it in "disk management" and hey! it worked.
    Thanks a lot for the advice.
    Now I don't understand why my back-up drive isn't automatically adding the files when I import into the Ex-HD but I'll figuree it out.

  • IPhone Application Frozen after waking up from Device Sleep

    The iPhone application that I am currently working on is having a hard time running properly after the device is put to sleep. I've built other applications that work fine, but something seems to be wrong with this one.
    After the device is woken up, it shows my user interface correctly, and I can see that other threads are running because I added log messages in a communication thread, but the UI is not responsive to any touches.
    Anyone have any pointers on what to look into for why this is happening?
    I've overridden the applicationWillResignActive and applicationDidBecomeActive methods in the application delegate to see what is getting called, but am not sure what to do once the application has become active again.
    Thanks.

    No one's ever faced that?
    I mean the iMac is brand new, upgraded from SL to Lion and this happened.
    It's the iMac mid-2011, 21,5

    Would you guys say it's a hardware issue, or rather a Lion issue?

  • Please can someone help me? Have iphone 4 and just returned home from abroad where the phone worked fine. Now it wont receive wifi. It picks up signal and shows on phone but cant connect to internet. Computers and ipod all working ok

    Hi, please can someone help me?
    Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
    Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
    Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

    Hello melissa82686,
    From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support

  • Detecting if native iPhone application is installed on phone from a web app

    Hi...
    How can I detect if one particular iPhone native application is installed or not on th device from my web application...
    So if installed then user can launch it or the link will take him to th store to download it...

    Unfortunately, the only alternatives are to put all resources required by JAAS in jre/jre/lib/ext OR on the system classpath when the JVM is started.
    This is apparently due to a bug in JAAS. The implementers of JAAS have the LoginContext written so that it loads resources only from the system classpath. Unless this was, for some reason intentional. I don't know what the plans are for JAAS going forward with respect to this.
    Has it been fixed in J2SE 1.4?
    I'll have you know this wreaks havoc with attempting to have your LoginModule use an EJBs to authenticate a user and add Principals to the Subject.

  • Flex iPad Application : Run code before application enters background  Application Type: Flex Mobile Application Target Platform: iPad AIR Version: 4.0 Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6  I want to run some code just before iphone application goes

    Application Type: Flex Mobile Application
    Target Platform: iPad
    AIR Version: 4.0
    Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6
    I want to run some code just before iphone application goes into background. I need function similar to didEnterBackground
    of native xcode app
    (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegat e_Protocol/Reference/Reference.h
    tml#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UIApplicationDelegate/applicationDidEnterBackground:)
    I tried using devactivated function of flash.display.STAGE.
    I used following addEventListener:
    STAGE = this.parent.stage;
    STAGE.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onAppDeactivated);
    It worked for me but only when device is connected to development environment in debug mode. When I create my release build
    it is not working.
    So how can I make sure that my code runs before application goes into background.

    Even I am facing almost same issue

    Expect to get a lot of problems as embedding Java GUI application into native X GUI application is very complicated process which usually requires clear understanding of design of AWT native code for X. One of the problems is events sharing, another is X resource sharing. If you could provide more details on design of your program and interaction with Java we might try to at least estimate hardness of the problems and possibility of such an implementation at all.
    The questions are:
    1) Does you program uses the same X display connection as Java?
    2) What kind of X toolkit are you going to use?
    3) How are you going to embed Java windows into you X windows(if at all)?
    4) Are you going to use Java X window(or widgets) from your program or you are going to use JNI and Java to interact with them through Java?

  • I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

    I  don’t  understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
    When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
    I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.)  But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
    Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone?  I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
    I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
    Help!

    I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1.  Catch 22.  This is basically a storage issue, I believe.  I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7.  I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need.  But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that.  I synch my phone and computer.  I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone.  I seem unable to do that.  Any advice?

  • I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is unique.  How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data) and then upgrade?

    I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is/are  unique.  How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data at end of process) and then upgrade?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

    Try runing iTunes in admin mode. That fixed the issue for me. You can either right click on the shortcut on your desktop and choose to run as an admin each time you launch it or go to the advanced tab under security on the program itself and click the run as admin every time.

    I want to develop iphone apps. But I am from Costa Rica, I have seen that there are developers who sell from my country here. I wonder what method of payment used for developer profits, for example Paypal?
    If so could make money there, and a local bank, has service PayPal.

    Apple does not pay developers via PayPal. All payments are made directly to your bank via electronic funds transfer.

    And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
    Apple the best
    H.M

    The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
    No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
    as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.
