IOS and the murder of Safari

I think this is intentional.  I believe that Apple wants to force all users into the little walled gardens called apps because they can make more money that way.  I think someone had a brainstorm one day and said, "let's make browsing and reading popular sites like FT.com and WSJ.com impossible to use (because they freeze whenever you try to move the screen at all), thus forcing everyone to use the FT and WSJ apps where we get paid a cut of revenue."  "Great idea" everyone including Tim Cook.  And thus was safari destroyed by its creator as the folks in Cupertino now pray to a new god: Appification.
For those of you who, like me, prefer using the internet in a more, not less, productive way (like not having to exit a newspaper app to be able to check a map or wikipedia or what other news sources are saying about the story you are reading), here's an idea: try Android!!  I am a deeply entrenched iOS user but this is the single MUST have "app" for me. Google will screw us in other ways but they don't have as strong a financial incentive to destroy what's great about the web as Apple does.

I believe your tin foil hat fell off, better find it quick.
There is no conspiracy going, App developers develop what is being requested by the masses.

    What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network?  You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
    If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
    If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad.  See if it now connects correctly.

  • I just updated to 6.0 ios and the passbook does not work.

    I just updated to version ios 6.0 and the passbook app does not work.
    Any ideas, instructions, etc, on how to use this app?
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    To actually use the app you'll need to download passbook compatible apps such as target, fandango, ticket master, American Airlines (not a lot of apps are compatible yet).
    To add tickets to passbook you need to add them through the main app. So if you bought a ticket through ticket master you need to go to the ticket master app, locate the ticket and add to passbook that way.

  • Director, iOS and the (real) apps development cul-de-sac

    Hi there.
    I was a long time Director developer and I tried D12 to give it a shot with iOS app development.
    After 2.5 months of research, an app submitted to Apple (still "in review"), another in development and a 3D game in its first design I have to summarize my experience.
    1.
    Developing simple apps and games seems very simple and easy.
    Let's say that if the user don't have to interact with the keyboard, or use UI controls, app development is fluid.
    2.
    If you have to develop something with (even) a little user interface, you get crazy.
    You have to re-invent the wheel and in doing it you're doing it wrong.
    I developed a simple app, an app that does only one thing, but it does it in a very good way.
    I started developing this app because there is no an app that does this thing, today.
    First prototype? 4 hours.
    Now I'm stuck in handling UI and UX, and I'm going mad.
    There's no way to re-produce iOS controls (like radio buttons, checkboxes and fields) without appearing "cheap".
    If the user have to insert something with the keyboard you get mad.
    If you have the crazy idea to create a scrollable list (with selection) the performances become as slow as hell and the user responsiveness goes away.
    I'm so so so sad for this.
    I know Director Team is doing something great to bring us Director developers the possibility to easly port games from Shockwave to iOS.
    But if you want to develop a real application (or something like that) you actually have no chances to pass Apple quality control.
    That's it.
    I just wanted to share my feelings with you.
    Thanks.

    Let me get this straight: I use Director since version 4, I always though that it's an incredible tool for multimedia development.
    The dream was (just) using it to deliver iOS apps that can be a little better that the ones done with PhoneGap.
    But...
    The fact that it's so damn hard to put an app into the iTunes App Store (try not to develop "ad hoc" but for the store) that I think Adobe is just paying a low level rate to the remaining developers, I think that thereare two left, three maybe, and they have to do everything, so they don't write manuals or notes.
    Or they just develop Director in their spare time.
    Whatever you're doing, I respect you. Just as much I don't respect Adobe, who's gonna charge us for this not-enough-featuring (anymore) product.
    One example: if you compile your iOS app for youriPad with the "Otto.app" template there's nothing wrong, but that template is outdated since may 1, 2013, so you cannot use it to upload your app to the App Store.
    I'm trying to change all values, one by one, of the .plist included, but no luck for 72 hours (something like 50 attempts), and I'm so mad at it that I'm thinking about pulling the power cable on my (quite simple) project.

  • What is the link between iphone's IOS and the iTunes version?

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3gs using IOS 4.1. I do not want to upgrade this. What Itunes version is compatible w/ this? Can I keep the IOS and just make all updates in iTunes, or the newer versions do not work w/ IOS 4.1?

    This looks like an Oracle Financials question.
    I don't think anyone here can answer that.
    You need to look for a Financials or E-business forum.

  • Will the iOS and the iPad ever have true multitasking?

    I have an iPad 3 and don't understand why it doesn't support true multitasking.   I would like to be able to open an App and then have the option of closing that App or minimize it.  I would like the ability to then quickly switch between those minimized rather then all those that I have opened recently.
    At this point why does the iPad share an OS with the iPhone?  The iPad 3 is simply an amazing device that is limited to being pretty good because of the OS limitations. 

    Example 1: Often when I am using Safari I will click on a video and will be switched to Youtube.  Currently, when I am done I have to go back to the home screen and re open Safari and now Youtube is in my recently used Apps.  What would be ideal is that when I am done watching the video, I close Youtube (which is closed and not part of my "open" apps) and I am taken back to Safari because I never chose to close it.
    This has nothing to do with multitasking. An app being in the recently used apps bar or dock does not mean the app is actively running in the background. It means the app is recently used, and you can switch back to Safari from the recently used apps bar or dock in this situation without having to go back to the home screen where Safari is located.
    Example 2: I use the directv app all the time to control my tv.  The app shows me all the channels and what is currently on.  Currently if I switch to another app and then switch back to the directv app it currently has to completely reopen because it does not have the ability to run in the background continue to get updates via my home network.  True multitasking would allow it run and get updates if I chose to let it.
    This is up to DirectTV to provide such tasks in the background when leaving the app just as Pandora has included the option for music to continue streaming in the background when leaving the app and GPS navigation apps have included the option to continue running in the background when leaving the app.

  • Why does my iPad 2 have a broken leaf when turning it on and the bottom of the main APP page with Safari is now tan??

    My iPad 2 shows a leaf off to the side when I turn it from off and the page where Safari is (well,that strip) is now tan??  HELP I've shut it down several times

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Updated ios and phone is locked

    Can someone help me please?
    Last night I updated to the latest IOS and the phone said it failed, so I restored the phone.
    This morning when I got up, my phone was locked and my code doesn't work any more.
    I connected to iTunes thinking that if I update the IOS it would fix the problem.  iTunes said I have the latest software.
    I am going through withdrawal because I can't play Word with Friends.  Can someone tell me how to unlock my phone?
    PS:  The phone now displays French instead of English.
    Thanks in advance and Happy 4th of July!

    Hi zyggistardust,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there was an issue updating your iPhone and now it's displaying a screen that says it's disabled. Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode, as shown in the article below.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.
    Cheers!

  • A universal video format for iOS and Android?

    Hello
    I have open the Folio that I have originally made for the iPad on a Samsung Galaxy Tab and I see a lot of differences in the way videos are played.
    It seems that for the iPad I need to always use the H264 codec, but on a Samsung galaxy tablet this is not the good way to do it. After various tests I see that I must use the F4V format (which uses the H264 codec) in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5
    The problem is that F4V with the H264 codec can't be read on the iPad.
    Thus...
    - Or there is only one method to create video files that can be read on iOS and Android and it would be great if somebody can tell me which app and which presets to use...
    - Or we must always create two different video exports, one for iOS and the other one for Android.
    In DPS' s user manual, this issue is not covered.
    Thank you.

    What do I need to do to have an answer to a basic question and a necessary issue ? To buy and Adobe DPS Pro licence ? ;-)
    Well, you should also know that in addition to getting your questions answered more promptly, Adobe has top secret 'DPS Pro/Enterprise Lounges' in several major cities.  These are not unlike 1st Class Lounges that can be found in airlines.  You get free beer, pretzels, and free wifi.
    Okay, now getting serious:
    1. HAVE YOU TRIED HANDBRAKE TO ENCODE THE VIDEO?  If not, stop whatever you're doing and give it a try.  Conversion software is not all the same.  Adobe's H.264 is better than it's ever been, but it's a pretty well-known fact that Handbrake is the BEST encoder out there for mp4/H.264.  Relying on Adobe to always give you satisfactory results for video conversion is FOLLY. 
    2. I've read in several places the Galaxy has trouble with mp4 files.  There's not a million threads with this news; actually only a handful.  Nonetheless, the news is out there.  I created mp4 files for viewing on a Motorola Xoom and they played FLAWLESSLY.  That's the trouble with the Android platform - every manufacturer is free to mess with the code and put their own wrapper over the OS.  Things get messed up, and consistency of platform becomes a problem.

  • After updating, Safari and others linked to Safari "quit unexpectedly"

    i recently searched for updates and found that a security update, itunes update, safari update, and java update were available. after the update, safari will not work. when i click on it, it bounces a few times and the bar says safari but nothing appears. i went to add tab to see if it would come up and it says safari quit unexpectedly. i keep having this problem over and over again. please help!!!

    That's a lot updates to install at once. For future reference this may be useful:
    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • IOS and Memory Leaks

    How do you ensure that AIR on iOS does not leak memory and how do you trace 'leak' alerts to their source? Below is a table with a bunch of leak data, but I don't see how you could trace it back to your code and find the leak. I have tried making sure variables are de-referenced when finished with them, and event listeners are either removed or weak-referenced(allows objects to be garbage collected when the listener is the last thing referencing them).
    I would like to get any and all leaks out of my app so that I can submit it to the App Store.
    Edit: The leak table is from what it showed in the Apple 'Instruments' tool on my Mac when scanning the app running on my phone.
    Edit 2: I'm not sure how to interpret this leak data from Instruments. My app is running within the 'captive' AIR runtime on the iPhone, so theoretically I would think that any leaks in my app would stay allocated in the AIR captive runtime and not show up here. I thought maybe I should be monitoring the 'Allocations' section of the tool for notable changes in the total allocations since un-garbage-collected stuff would stay contained within AIR. If it is showing leak data in the 'leaks' section, does that mean the AIR runtime itself is leaking? None of the functions or libraries or identifiers or whatever they are listed in the leak data match stuff that I wrote, so maybe they are parts of the 'AIR engine'.

    As I said in the post, the stuff reported in leaks doesn't match any of my variable or function names. It just shows generic stuff for the 'Responsible Library/Frame', such as GetSymbolTable(int) or QuartzCore. I didn't name anything in my code by those names. Quartz, I believe, is the stuff used to draw vectors on iOS, and the other things like 'TSymbolTableLevel' are not names I used either.
    So I am not sure if this is my code leaking memory or the AIR rumtime itself leaking memory, or how you would go about interpreting Instruments reports on an AIR based app. My theory is that any stuff not garbage collected and leaked within the AIR runtime should be contained within the runtime wouldn't show up in Instruments as a leak, so I don't know if there is anything I can do within my code to make the 'leaks' dissappear or not.
    There is a ton of stuff going on in my code, events and functions calling or initiating other functions and such, so it isnt as simple as just looking at what code would be fired at the time the leak shows up to figure out what piece of code the leak occured at.
