IPhone button question

How come the iPod touch has it's own contacts button on the main screen but iPhone makes you go into the phone button? Sometimes I just want contact information and not want to call them!
What should be the other 3 buttons on the main screen?

Perhaps with a further software update, they will give us the option to choose which icons we want on our main screen - especially after they add more features and the main screen gets filled up.
This option is already available for the iPod portion of the menu. You can change the default icons that appear at the bottom of the iPod page (Playlists, Artists, Songs, Videos, More). Select More, then click on Edit in the upper left hand corner. A Configure screen will come up. Drag the icon you want to add on top of the icon you want to replace and you're done.
Since this feature is available in the iPod section, it seems likely that they will add it to other parts of the iPhone at a later date. One of the beauties of the iPhone is that it is software driven. Our iPhones will be continually brought up to date as improvements are made instead of becoming obsolete as most cell phone do. Hardware improvements are another matter (no 3G without buying a new iPhone when they come out) but just about everything else should be updatable.

    This feature can act as most of the iPhone buttons. Home or Sleep/Wake etc. It would help us if we knew which buttons your talking about.
    Hope that helps

    I don't have the iPhone button, as illustrated in the first picture. I've tried the tips that are mentioned in the first few steps and still nothing. My phone won't sync at all! I'm not completely computer illiterate; but, I am not well versed either. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to bring this back so I can sync my phone and laptop (windows op system).

    The screen-shot is on a Mac computer. It is very similar in Windows iTunes.  Have a look at this set of instructions instead.

  • IPhone button not working

    My iPhone4 home button not working. Pressing the home and on/off button together does not bring up a dark screen with the apple logo. I have a laptop with window's 7 - ITunes not working and the apple website's download button not responding.
    I am due an upgrade soon and was considering an iPhone again, but this inconvenience of not working and the trouble of accessing the software is giving me second thoughts of going for an iPhone again.

  • IPhone 5 lock button question

    My iPhone 5's lock button is literally impossible to lock. When I use the assisting gestures to turn off the phone, I can actually turn on the phone with the lock button. Will this be under Apple warranty/ an expensive fix? It wasn't an all of a sudden occurence. This problem seemingly got worse and worse.

    Yes, it is covered by warranty.

  • [iPhone] - button press even firing multiple times

    Hi - first post here, so sorry if it's dumb (doesn't seem to have been answered previously, by searching)...
    I have an iPhone app, with a button. In my ViewController code I have an IBAction, which I've linked up with the Touch Up Inside event. The Action function increases an integer score by 50, and then updates a label to display the new score.
    When I run this, the score goes up in increments of 200 - implying the button even is being triggered multiple (four) times per click.
    Is that normal / is there any obvious reason why this might happen? I can post code if that's useful...
    Thanks,
    Muzz

    No need to guess. Add a log statement as the first line of your action method like this:
    - (IBAction)incrementScore:(id)sender {
    NSLog(@"incrementScore: sender=%@", sender);
    The above will print one line in your Debugger Console window (Run->Dubugger Console) each time the method runs. It's very unlikely that your button is sending more than one action message for each Touch Up Inside event. The console log should tell us exactly who is calling your action method and how many times.
    Is that normal
    No.
    is there any obvious reason why this might happen?
    My three top guesses would be: 1) The code in your action method isn't doing what you think; 2) The action method is being called from more than one object; 3) You hooked up the button so that some of its other events (such as Touch Down or Touch Down Repeat) are also connected to your method.
    I can post code if that's useful...
    Yes, if none of my comments lead you to a solution please post the relevant code. To format code in this forum, please take a look at the first, yellow alert message on the topics page.

    You're welcome.
    FYI:
    When I unlocked my 4S, I didn't use a different sim. After I got notice from my carrier, I connected my phone, iTunes running & performed a sync. This created a current backup. I then hit the restore button on the Summary Pane...this restores the phone as a new device. At the end, I got the "Congratulations" screen. I then immediately restored from the backup I created when I started. Followed that by syncing my content back to the phone. That's all I had to do.

  • IPhone Button Failure

    I have been into the Apple Store many times with my iPhone 5. My buttons just stop working randomly. Be it the volume buttons or the power button, I've yet to have a perfect iPhone. I assumed it was poor manufacturing but I've been informed this is a rare problem. Here's my question. My warranty is up in three months. If it breaks after that and I take it into the apple store will they help me or am I stuck with a broken phone for the next year of my contract? I tired to contact apple but I couldn't get thru. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    When the warranty is up, the warranty is up.

  • I need someone to answer a  few Find my Iphone App questions?

    I lost my phone overseas...I got too drunk and lost it at some bar..I thought I was lucky because I had signed up for the find my iphone app on the ICloud. When I tried to locate my Iphone through the services, It couldn't find my Iphone because it was "OFFLINE" I assume it was because it was out of battery, making it impossible to find it now.
    So I requested that my phone be put it in "lost mode", but since it's currently offline, it's Pending! I also added a contact number and a 50$ reward for the return of my phone, so the next time my phone is turned on and connects to the internet, it will lock and the stranger using my phone won't be able to get in to it and steal my info right?...But, seeing as my time is almost up being overseas, it seems very unlikely I'll be getting my phone back. So I might have to get a new phone!
    My Question is, if I click on "Erase Iphone" now, it will erase all the data on my phone, And it won't be able to be tracked anymore, that's all fine and good. But the thing is, since my phone is currently off line, it's currently a pending action and won't erase the data unless it's turned on and connected to the internet again....SO, if I were to get a New Iphone, (I am eligible to uprgrade) it would be risky right? Because if I get a new Iphone and get all comfy with a new iphone, and someone turns on my old IPhone, the "Erase Iphone" request will commence and it will delete all the data on my old iphone as well as my NEW iphone right?
    Cause I will be using the same Apple ID for my new Iphone! I can only assume that this is how it works....Apple isn't very clear on how stuff like that works.
    PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    You don't need to worry.  It won't delete anything from iCloud or your new phone, it will only erase the data on the lost phone, and that will only happen if it ever goes online again.

  • Updateable Report : re-display collection & Update Button question

    This a sequel to a previous Updateable Report question I had.
    Varad pointed me to this doc which has been incredibly helpful .
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/
    howtos/tabular_form.html#RESTRICTIONS
    I was\am having the following issue :
    Let's zoom to the part where we create a region to display the tabular form for the previously saved collection , and drill down to the part where we create an UPDATE EMP button for that displayed collection :
    I was not able to display the collection again when I failed the validation a 2nd time. ie, clicking on the UPDATE EMP button after it displays both the errors-post validation and after displaying the collection ( of course) would return me to the previous report pre-collection creation. When I turned debug on I found out that it was not even creating the collection and was hence deleting it before displaying the subsequent page.
    So what I did differently from what the documention instructs is as follows :
    I removed the page reference on the 'branch to page' of the UPDATE EMP button. In my case, the default 'Branch to ' Page after Processing is the same page I am using for this part of the application.
    So when I remove the reference to the page number. for that button, the page is then able to re-create the collection and hence re-display the collection so I can re-fix the 2nd error ( ... and 3rd) and finally update the report .
    Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience ?
    Thanks !

    The columns and rows have a set format for the Id, so if you know one Id you know the row and the ids of all the other columns.
    As an example, this will show the value of column 6 when you click on any column with the function call in the Element Attributes:
    Script:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function showCol6(col){
      var col6 = document.getElementById("f06_" + col.id.substr(4,4));
      alert(col6.value);
    </script>Element Attributes:
    onclick=showCol6(this);You could also use a Named Column template, specific to this region, to include the column values directly in the function call, but I think it's best to stick with the ApEx defaults if possible.

  • Web Gallery with iPhone, two questions

    I now have three albums in my web gallery. When I take a picture with iPhone and go to upload to web gallery, only one of the albums shows up. Why not the other two?
    Second question: i successfully sent the photo to that one albumb web gallery, and sure enough, it shows up when I view it in my web browser. But it was only a test and I want to delete it. How do I do that? Because when I view that album in iPhoto, the picture I uploaded from my iPhone isn't there.

    Phil Rogers,
    To upload to the Web Gallery your iPhone sends it via email. Make sure "Allow uploads via Email" is selected in the Web Gallery settings.
    The little "radio waves" icon next to the Web Gallery in iPhoto 7.0.1 is clickable. Clicking on it will cause iPhoto to resync the Web Gallery between .Mac and the computer.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • IPhone GPS question

    Hello Everybody!
    I'm a new iPhone user and new at iPhoneFans.
    I'm from Brazil and I have an iPhone 3Gs without jailbreak and locked to my mobile company (Vivo). Next week I'm gonna to Orlando. It will work in roaming, but I will not use data connection in roaming because it is extremelly expansive (about USD$ 15 per MB).
    I would like to know if I have a GPS software like Tomtom, and if I try to use it, it will need some kind of data connection for the aGPS assistance?
    And other question is, there are some GPS software that I could buy just adicional maps instead the full software for each "map" or country?
    Thanks for any help.

    Although the iPhone uses AGPS or assisted GPS, the iPhone includes a GPS receiver. The iPhone's AGPS allows for a GPS fix to be acquired faster only. It is not required to get a GPS fix.
    Data roaming is turned off by default with the iPhone. Data access via the cellular network is not required to get a GPS fix, and if you have a GPS app with maps data for a geographic location downloaded and available locally on the iPhone with the app, no internet access is required for access to the maps data.

  • IPhone resolution question

    Hi, i have some folios in the normal ipad resolution 1024x768 and i want to change now to iphone 5/6 resolution
    couple questions:
    - is 1136x640 the correct resolution for that?
    - how do you usually/whats the best way to resize/change resolution on each article to that resolution?
    Thanks

    If you create an 1136x640 folio, it will show up on iPhone 5 and later but not iPhone 4s and earlier.
    I think the easiest approach is to use the Alternate Layouts feature in InDesign. But keep in mind that the 1024x768 layout converted to an 1136x640 layout would most likely be too small for the iPhone. To maintain the same SD scale, consider creating an alternate layout that's 50% scale (568x384).
