IOS - Can you manually adjust badge on app icon?

My app is just a brochure. Users can download compatible files to view (DOC, PPT, PDF, XLS, MP4, etc). If a newer version of a previously downloaded file is available I'd just like to update the badge icon on the app to alert the user their downloaded resources have updates.
So far all I see as a way to update a badge icon (outside previous ANEs that are said to be malfunctioning) is the new AIR 3.4 push notification updates. I see you can register to receive PUSH and if RemoteNotifier receives a notification event of type RemoteNotificationEvent.TOKEN it can adjust the badge?
I only wish to set the app icons badge number manually from inside the app, after I determine if there's any resources that need updating. I don't need push services. Is there an easy means that I'm simply not seeing to adjust the badge, such as somehow faking a RemoteNotificationEvent.TOKEN event or any classes I'm not seeing inside flash.notifications.*?
Thanks for any tips!

You are mostly correct except the fact that on iOS, the OS may handle the notification and application may never get to know about it.RemoteNotificationEvent.NOTIFICATION is fired only in following two scenarios:
The application was in foreground when remote notification was received.
The application was not in foreground when notification was received and as a result of the presented notification, the user taps the action button of the alert.
If the notification is delivered when the application isn’t running in the foreground, the system presents the notification, displaying an alert, badging an icon, perhaps playing a sound. And hence the event will not be dispatched. In other words, this event will NEVER be fired if application was in background(sleeping/dead) and user ignores the notification.

I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons. The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped.

Can anyone help please?

Have you checked to see if the Apps have been placed in an App folder?
Try swiping down from the middle of the screen so the search bar appears. Type the name of the App and if the App appears it is indeed on your phone.
You could also try restarting your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears.

In my iMovie version 10.6.8 I can not manually adjust my library list

In my iMovie version 10.6.8 I can not manually adjust my library list to reveal the extent of the event titles, please help

GeeD. Thanks once again for your help. I am also puzzled by the “fault” in my Event library. In the past i was able to expand or contract the library text list laterally allowing all the text in each event to be read in full, now it remains locked at minimum width obscuring part of the text. Otherwise the function of my Imovie app is normal in all other respects.In my FCPro App the event library can be expanded or contracted without a problem. The Imovie problem developed when the OS changed to “Maverick” but since then there has been yet another change, this time to “Yosemitie”. Could these OS changes have a bearing on the problem. It seems to me that i may have to “live” with the Imovie problem - but I hate unexplained.!!! Regards BJ

No, BUT you can hide it in a folder. Unlike Newsstand *cough*

Can you schedule the downloading of app updates to a specific time?

Can you schedule the downloading of app updates to a specific time?

I honestly wouldn't do that. You have no idea if the software update server will be properly functioning then. Also you should always backup your data prior installing updates.
Note when you install updates, you also have the option to install later, but just download first.
Always make sure the updates work with each other by finding out the requirements from the developer before installing. A clone backup will let you recover yourself to the point before the install, if you do it right.

Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?

Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?
What if you are on a trip and forgot your Ipod. It would be great to be able to add lost data. or even edit the Ipod data on the Nike + website

Hi Hrbrmstr,
That will be very cool if you can create an xml file
that will allow us to add runs and edit runs on the
Nike+ site! The trick may be getting past the server
dragon which sends out a warning saying, "Your
workout data could not be sent to nikeplus.com
because the data could not be accepted by the server"
when it does not like the data it is sent.
For example, my runs that did not post had something
in common: when I read these xml files with TextEdit,
both have a line that says,
"<stepCounts><walkBegin>0</walkBegin>". There's also
a line that tracks steps run. It also said zero. Of
course, these lines should NOT read zero, because I
was not starting at zero steps! My guess is that this
anomaly makes the Nike+ server either reject or
delete these runs because the step count does not fit
my other runs.
Well, I'll leave this stuff to someone who knows more
than I. Glad you're here.
For jackt123, the longer is answer to your question
is that certain things that are not doable now may be
doable in the future. Stay tuned.
I just got the dragon today. "Your workout data could not be sent to Nikeplus because iTunes received an unexpected response from the server. Please try again later." Did you ever find out why this happened to you? I went on nikeplus and it did in fact upload my latest run. Now my goals are blank on nikeplus.

I don't have access to a computer and so,without physically attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

i don't have access to a computer and so,without physically attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

Sorry but no. The only way to restore an iPod to factory settings is through iTunes on a computer. You will need to get access to a computer somehow. If you can get to an Apple Store, they can probably help you.

Can you suggest a group messaging app where recipients can't see all the phone numbers within the group?

Can you suggest a group messaging app where recipients can't see all the phone numbers within the group? My friends are complaining that they can see all the people in the group; also when I get a response from some in the group, it comes to me ane many others in the goup - its like they've replied all.
Any help would be appreciated.
iPhone 4; iOS5

Sorry it hasn't worked out for you. I threw together a simple project that uses rectangles to represent your Bike and wheel groups. They all animate across the canvas in the bike group and the wheels rotate. I have attached screen shots so you can see how they are constructed.
This image showsthe bike group where the orange rectangle and green circle represent the frame. The white rectangles represent wheels and the green and red rectangles I threw in to represent a wheel that has multiple objects in its group as your wheels do.
Here the animation across the screen has started and notice all wheels rotating and staying with the frame.
Again a little further down the timeline.
I put this one in so you could see the group bounding box around the red and green wheel Good luck with your restart on this project and I hope these screen shots are helpful.

Can you manually get iCloud to push wifi passwords to iPhone 5?

My iPhone 5 keeps on dropping 3g when I am out and about. Resetting my network settings seems to solve this but also means that I have lost all my wifi passwords. Is there a way to get iCloud to push those passwords out to my phone again as surely they must all be stored somewhere?Can you manually get iCloud to send

As far as I know they are stored in keychain, make sure you enable it. I still suspect that if you only have iphone and no other devices - it will not work the way you expect and definitely no to manual push. One suggestion that can help you (hopefully). While reset network settings is very effective there is another way that gets overlooked - turning on airplane mode for half a minute. It suppose to turn off all radios on the phone efficiently doing the same (connecting to best available cell on the tower after restart).

Can you have a pdf as an icon for single click access on ipad or iphone?

can you have a pdf as an icon for single click access on ipad or iphone?

No - I think Safari is the only app that can have separate shortcuts (for different sites) on the homescreens. You can only access PDFs by first going into it's owning app.

Can you manually tell iphoto a camera is attached

You can't, I'm afraid.

Can you create a single edition app with CC Enterprise?

My company have Creative Cloud Enterprise edition and I would like to create a simple single edition app. It's going to be a one off free app and I have no requirement for all the bells and whistles that Enterprise offers plus with it being free it would cost me because of the $0.30 per download fee. Does anyone know if this can be done or am I going to have to start looking at alternatives?

You could sign up for the full version of Creative Cloud which will enable you to build a Single Edition app before that support is removed from Creative Cloud on May 1st. You'd create a new app in InDesign using the Create App menu item in Folio Builder Panel. After you create the app and submit it you could then cancel your Creative Cloud subscription.
Note that you would need to get support to help you set the version number of your new app high enough to replace your existing app in iTunes. If you plan to go the CC route let me know and I can assist in making sure the version number is updated on your app appropriately.
