IPhone app that allows cable transfer of files and viewer feature

Hi Guys,
Now I'm really getting desperate...
Does anyone know of an app that allows you to transfer files to your iPhone via the USB cable and has a partner iphone app that allows you to view the files.
I'm looking specifically for PDF and Html viewer.
I can't use the WiFi and can't download using 3G...too expensive.
I've tried a few apps thus far but they allow you transfer files to locations that the iphone apps cannot access.
Kind regards,
Neelan

There used to be an app that did this called "FileAid". The app was free, but to use it you need to purchase an app called "DiscAid" from the developer. It allowed for file transfers between iPhone and computer using a USB cable or wifi. Recently, the app was changed AT APPLE'S REQUEST to eliminate the USB functionality. Why? I have no clue, other than having this feature took away from Apple's MobileMe file transfer functionality. I did NOT accept the upgrade. Below is an email I received from the developer.
What really irks me is that I paid for the DiscAid app. By removing this functionality, Apple has ripped me off. Fortunately, the developer has more integrity than Apple has.
"As a DiskAid user, you might be using FileAid to view files on your device.
If this is your case you are maybe aware already: we had to upgrade FileAid 1.4 to 1.5 and we changed the name to FileApp, incidentally.
The USB connectivity within FileApp was removed and we did not want that: it was not our choice but the consequence of a decision taken by Apple, nor did we wanted to have to rush to release it.
Besides, all iPhone Apps supporting the USB file transfer will be affected by that.
We were very upset about Apple's decision not to let our users enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of USB file transfer, but we had no choice as you can imagine. We are very sorry about that.
DiskAid (USB transfer tool) is still perfectly functional for file storing and iPhone/iPod Touch filesystem access but FileApp won't let you view your files on the device.
It is probably pretty uncommon, but we would like you NOT to UPGRADE to FileApp in the App Store automatically, but to read the following carefully before:
Why Should you Upgrade:
If you have a jailbreak on your device
If you are a FileAid user only using WiFi connection for transferring files - WiFi connectivity issue fixed
Why You Should NOT Upgrade:
If you are using FileAid on a device without jailbreak in conjunction with DiskAid - USB no longer supported
If you have upgraded on your iPhone by mistake (or you missed the upgrade information notice prior upgrading on your iPhone) you have the ability to downgrade to FileAid if you haven't upgraded within iTunes on your desktop and you haven't performed a sync!
To do so:
1 - Check that you have FileAid in your iPhone apps within iTunes on your computer
2 - Delete the FileApp app from your iPhone (or iPod Touch)
3 - Select FileAid within the app tab in iTunes and press sync
If a message appears warning that you have a more recent version of this app on the device, accept: it will install FileAid instead of FileApp
If you have upgraded to FileApp directly in iTunes on your computer, delete it before sync (if applicable) and the FileAid app will be copied back onto iTunes at next sync.
It is a real issue for us, as the ability to browse files transferred via USB within our iPhone app FileAid was a great feature within the DiskAid program we will sure suffer from that - but we won't let our loyal customers take the blame.
We would naturally refund users that claim for, even beyond our refund policy (up to 60 days).
Also if you had a good time while the trick lasted, or if you feel any sympathy for us and you think that your purchase could subsidize the development and maintenance of the free version of the FileAid/FileApp and you do not request a refund, we would thank you in advance for your support!"

  • Is there an ical/iphone app that allows you to call a phone number from ica

    I schedule hourly appointments with clients and type the name and phone number for each client directly on the schedule. Does anybody know of an app that would allow me to simply tap on that phone number from ical to call the client? Otherwise, i have to look at ical on my phone, remember the number, click to phone and enter it in manually. Thanks!

    There no app for that, no. But, if you enter the number into the Notes field of the appointment (but not the name or location fields), you can tap the number to dial it from the Calendar app.

    There is Dragon Dictation for iOS.  How well it works depends on how clearly you speak so YMMV.  It's free so worth a try.

  • I'm trying to find an app that I can easily place PDFs and view multiple documents like a book or presentation folder. Can someone please help. Thanks

    Hi All,
    I have drop box, have used ibook and still looking for a solution. I have a number of PDF documents, some one page, some multiple pages in both landscape and portrait format. I would like an app that I can easily place multiple PDFs into it and show case them like a presentation or slide deck. Is there an easy app that is like a hybrid of drop box and keynote?
    Thanks,
    Linda

    There are some apps for both PCs and Macs that can be used to combine PDFs into one PDF document.Then you could upload the final PDF to the iPad.

  • Flash app that allows users to create mini animations

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to flash, and was wondering if the community could point me in the right direction for my current project.
    I am looking to build an app that allows end users to draw and save mini animations (simple predetermined shapes that move in 2D).  So far I have a written a app that allows the user to draw a single frame using simple shapes and lines, but I am having some small troubles at this stage, and have not attempted to allow the user to animate or save the drawing.
    If anyone knows of a tutorial or some other resource to put me on the right path I would be very grateful.  I can also share what I have if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers (I am going to assume that as a newbie, my code could use a lot of improvement).
    Regards,
    Robbie Vos

    Hi Andei1,
    Thanks for the input.  I figured that the save functionality would be a little difficult. 
    However, if I can get the basic app going (allowing users to create mini animations) I think I should be able to get save going with some (ok, alot) of effort.
    Regards,
    Robbie Vos

    You can use the camera connection kit to connect, but there's no protocol for any sort of data or file transfer beyond properly named photos and videos. You can plug them in but they won't do anything.
    The only printing the iPad  natively supports is air print to specific printers, or printing to wifi printers with third party apps. You cannot use flash drives for data transfer (beyond the mentioned photos and videos)

  • I want to control a PowerPoint presentation on my iPad remotely from my iPhone. Is there an app that allows me to wirelessly control my iPad from my iPhone?

    I want to control a PowerPoint presentation on my iPad remotely from my iPhone. Is there an app that allows me to wirelessly control my iPad from my iPhone?

    Yes.
    The app is called Keynote Remote and is available for both iPhone and iPad from the App Store. This app can also run Keynote presentations from your Mac from either your iPad or iPhone.
    Both your iPad and iPhone need to be on the same WiFi Network. With your iPad Keynote file loaded, go to:
    iPad > Keynote > Tool Menu (wrench) > Advanced > Remote and turnon "Enable Remotes"
    on your iPhone set up the link:
    Keynote Remote > Settings > New Keynote Link and follow instructions - you will be given a set of numbers, enter those numbers on the iPad and you are all set.
    Good Luck

    As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it.  So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
    The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it.  Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information.  Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
    When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

    There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
    iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

  • Any SYNC APPs that allow for specific file synchronization for the MacBook Pro??? Please advise..

    Any recommendations for a sync app that allows for specific file synchronization rather than just a complete back-up program?  I want to be able to synchronize certain files only on multiple external hard-drives?
    FYI:[[Using a 15" MacBook Pro on Mac OSX Version 10.6.7, Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3]]

    I'm pretty sure you should keep Boot Camp 2.1, Scorpio.
    I'm not sure about the driver only or complete reinstall question though.
    Probably the best place for an answer to this would be over in the BootCamp "Installation and Storage" forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237 where the "specialists" in this sort of matter hang out.
    Post a link to this thread over there as well, so that people will know what has already been suggested.

  • Any app that allows me to record the last few minutes of audio continuously?

    I need an app that allows me to record the last N minutes of audio continuously until I stop it.
    So, say I want it to record just the last 5 minutes of audio.
    I could potentially have it recording for hours but I don't want an audio file that is mutli hours long - I just want the last 5 minutes.
    You might ask, why I would want this ?
    Say, you're trying to record something, but you don't know exactly when it'll happen, and when it a happens, it doesn't last long enough for you to turn on the phone and start recording.

    I saw an app exactly like that in the App store months ago.
    It was for lecutres primarly.
    When opened it always "records" like to build a buffer though not really saving.  When you press record it will start really saving and can go back a ways based on options.  So a student can listen to lecture but only press the record button when wanting to save something and have it able to save back x amount of time and forward until told to stop.
    Sounds like exactly what you want.  I just don't remember what it is called.
