IPhone & iPad text entry as universal app (need text to resize?)
Hi.
I'm building a universal app for the iPhone and iPad that has a login screen that needs to obviously use text input..
This all works fine, I'm developing at the iPad size and letting it auto-scale to the iPhone size (I have made allowences for the extra screen size).. only downside is, on my iPad text is the correct size during entry, but when trying to type on my iPhone it remains at the iPads text setting - which is 40 when it needs to be about 14 to fit in the text box when on the iPhone screen.
anyone tried to deal with this problem?
Could you please, write here you application.xml file for the iPad (or universal iPhone/iPad ) application? I can't compile my application for wide iPad screen - it works as iPhone app (320x480).
Thanks.

Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

Text Entry Box not showing all text
I am creating a simple exercise where I would like the user to copy text from the course, paste it into word, and report back what the word count is. I thought perhaps the Text Entry Box would be the best way to go, since if you click on the existing (default) text, you can copy it. However after I place the paragraph of text in the box, and resize in the editor so that all the text shows, it does not show all the text when playing back, either previewd or published. It only shows the last few words of the last line at the top of the box.
Is there something I am missing? Or, is there an easier/better way to do what I need?
ThanksHi all
If this is Captivate 4, there may not be any need for a widget to do this. I'm guessing you haven't tried enabling the Scroll Bar for the Text Entry Box (TEB)?
When I just plop a TEB on a slide, I get this in edit view:
During playback it looks like this:
But if I edit the TEB properties and enable the Show Scrollbar option:
I get this in the output:

Cp5 - Text Entry Box - Fill Alpha =0 Text doesn't display
In previous versions I was able to select a trans background for text entry boxes. They've created a Fill and Stroke option where I can select Fill Alpha=0 (tranparent) but when I select that, the text doesn't display in the text box when I type, as it did in the previous version. When I go to the style editor, the preview displays correctly. My text colour is black and the image is white.
Thoughts?
M-It is aknown bug that they are working on. Alas.

What's a good karaoke program so I can practice at home ? I need the lyrics and tempo shown like a professional setup for the pc windows lline and the app should be similar throught IOS platforms and Mac.
You'll need an adapter cable, and which one you need depends on what version MBP you have and the inputs on the monitor.
I just recently purchased a Dell U2410 to use as a second display with my iMac. Overall I'm pretty happy with but my use is a little different, I wanted something with very good color accuracy for photo work. Based on what you said your needs are, you probably don't have to spend as much.
One thing I will say, is this particular monitor (and I believe all Dells) has an antiglare screen on it, which to be honest, took me a little getting used to. Because of the matte surface, text and documents aren't quite as sharp and can even look a little hazy at times. For your uses you may be better off with a glossy screen as long as glare isn't going to be too much an issue for you.
BenQ makes some pretty nice and affordable monitors these days LED backlit or otherwise, and on that note, theres absolutely nothing at all wrong with non "LED" monitors, both technologies are still using an LCD panel for the display, they just deal with the backlighting differently.
As the other poster mentioned, NEC is always a good option as well. Less common on the consumer side, but they make very good professional products. -
Need advice adapting page w/ onmouseover img swap to iPhone/iPad devices.
Need advice adapting page w/ onmouseover img swap to iPhone/iPad devices.
OK, we knew we needed to co-develop for touch-base devices, but this page forces the issue.
See page at: http://www.sos.state.or.us/elections/pages/voterresources/civics-toolkit/index.html
The page has two-state graphical buttons: a small button for the standard state and a large button in response to the onmouseover event. Navigation occurs onclick. Of course, touch-based devices like iPhone and iPad have no mouse over. The iPad displays the button just fine. However, the iPhone only shows the image until it is clicked. After that it is gone, even when one navigates away and back again after clicking it.
I imagine we should detect what device is browsing and then load only the large, more informative buttons when we detect a smartphone or tablet device.
What's the best approach?
Thanks in advance!So iPhone an iPad have ontouchstart and ontouchend - the information you provided says Apple implemented these events. Perhaps I should have specified that the page needs to work well on all touch devices, including non-Apple data phones.
Do you know if these touch events or some other solution is supported cross platform?
Just to be sure I understand, I
ditch the onmouseover event in favor of using the a:hover pseudo-class to swap images. This swaps for all devices.
implement ontouchstart/ontouchend for iPhone and iPad to create begin and end points for the image swap. This works for iPhone/iPad and no special condition is needed for a device with a mouse.
use onclick to trigger navigation. This works for all devices.

Hebrew ebooks (.epub) for iPhones, iPads and Android
Hello,
I want to convert a book I wrote to .epub format in order to display it in iPhones, iPads and Android using reading apps.
I already tried converting the file using Scrivener (Which worked on iPhones but not on iPads and androids) and with Calibre which has a bug with Hebrew letters.
A friend told me InDesign might be a good choice so I wanted to ask you:
[1] Is it possible to convert to .epub and display Hebrew letters in RTL direction and right text-alignment?
[2] If so, Which of the two programs should I purchase (199$ / 299$)?
[3] Does the convertion process is simple enough?
[4] Is it possible to convert to .mobi as well?
Thanks,
OrenThere are some difficult issues in what you're trying to do. One is that in order to get RTL support with InDesign, you need to be using InDesign ME. See a recent thread where I suggested the poster contact the company that produces the ME version for Adobe:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4172125
Second, you'll need to make sure the Hebrew font is licensed for embedding, and you'll need to learn about creating EPUBs in InDesign. I'd suggest starting with eBooks by Liz Castro.
Here's a link to her website:

ISE 1.1 'Change password on next logon' fails on iPhone / iPad
Hello -
We're in the process of implementing an ISE 1.1 server for Guest Wireless Access / BYOD at our company and ran into an issue with authenticating from iPhones / iPads when the account is set with 'change password on next logon' (it's a local account created on the ISE server - not AD). It fails and displays 'unable to join network' on the iPhone. The ISE log shows a '5411: No response received in 120 seconds'. We're able to authenticate from Windows devices and are prompted to change the password during the authentication process. Has anyone else encountered this? If we uncheck the 'change password' box we can authenticate from iPhones & iPads without any issue but we need to have a way for users to set their own password.
Thanks!
BillHi,
I am encountering the exact same issue in our lab environment, but with AD accounts (We would like customers to be able and connect to the dot1x network with their AD credentials, and based on machine authentication they will or will not get restricted access).
Just to be clear: the change password functionality works perfect on laptops, but on ipad/android we just cannot connect to the dot1x (PEAP) network when the "change password on next login" checkbox is on.
Anyone else who can shed some light on this?
Thanks

Text Entry Box not working right??
This is strange…. If anyone has any thoughts…
that would be great.
I have a slide that tests someone's knowledge for inputting
into a text entry box. I want to give them 2 tries for doing this
task - and if they don't perform the task correctly, I want an
error message to display. However, I want the error message to be
different based on the 1st time that they try and the second time.
The method to accomplish this.. I have done many times, and has
always worked. However, for some reason, it's not working this
time.
In order to customize the error message based on whether it's
the 1st try or the second - I have created 2 text entry boxes.
The first text entry box is set to display at 0 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide and a failure caption is
selected to display (this is the first error message that displays
for the first try.)
The second text entry box is set to display at 2 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide. No failure caption is
selected to display. This is the important point... I have not
selected for a failure caption to display for this text entry box.
I have a text caption that displays at 4 seconds - this is
the second error message that the user will see if they input an
incorrect text entry into the second text entry box.
Everything seems to work fine except... for some reason, when
I enter an incorrect text entry into the second text entry box, I
get the failure message that I set for the first text entry box.???
Very strange. I have recreated this 3 times - each time it works.
Then, all of a sudden, it stops working. I’ve even tried
recreating the movie from scratch… but same results.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
LynnHi again
Okay, makes sense. I suppose in this case, I'd simply use
another slide. From what you have explained, it would appear there
is a possible issue Captivate is having with multiple text entry
boxes on the same slide.
So I would insert a slide following the existing slide. Then
on failure of the first text entry box, direct to the next slide.
On success of the first text entry box, skip over the new slide to
the proper "continue" slide.
Hopefully that makes sense... Rick -

You need 3rd party apps like TextMe.

Need to revert a universal app to iphone in iTunes connect
The question is can we replace a Universal App with and Iphone app in iTunes connect and what are the steps. In this case the iPhone app is the app the Universal app replaced in the first place.
Our client claims you cannot replace a Universal app with an iPhone app but we cannot tell if that is a message they got from trying to do it in the store or hearsay.
Background:
Our client had another developer (actually a few even before that) deliver an IOS universal app that was upgrade from the iPhone app already in the store. It was built starting witht the code base for that original iPhone app in the store.
Unfortunately the developer had serious bugs in the iPhone version of the universal app that were missed by the client.
More unfortunate is that the client replaced the iPhone app in the store with the Uuniversal app without QA and so with the improperly functioning iPhone part.
They since took the universal app out of the store.
We have the source for the original iPhone version and thought we could simply build that and replace the broken universal app.UPDATE: Ignore this is from 2010 and pre-dates Universal app type.
Although the original poster has not replied back this is a hackish tease for a solution:
Want to downgrade from an Universal app to just an ipad app..
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3277945/want-to-downgrade-from-an-universal-a pp-to-just-an-ipad-app
First make sure you change that setting both for the project and your target, if it is still unchanged just manually edit project.pbxproj in the xcode project bundle changing all occurences of TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY = "1,2" to TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY = "1"
also Minimum OS Requirements is determined by the deployment sdk setting (IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in the aforementioned file) , not affected by LSMinimumSystemVersion -

All of the sudden my Messages app on my Macbook Pro is no longer syncing to my iPhone texts. What do I need to do to reestablish the flow between devices?
Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?
My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?
So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
