Iphone Limitations Question

I'm so excited for its release within the next couple of days but I have a question about the limits/restrictions that apple has put on these applications. Can anyone elaborate on the possible apps (i.e. new themes, screen savers, video record, copy and paste, flash player, live TV, ect.).
I know that people will say that live TV is not possible but MLB.com is coming out with an app that allows live TV streaming.
Any details would be great thanks.

they havent really said much...i know some may be free and others may charge a fee to download(this is up to the application's creator)...ther is a limit, i believe, of 2GB for an application..most im sure will not be that big.
i believe MLB.com might use Flash for live broadcasts, but as of right now Adobe, creator of Flash, have only said that they are trying to develop a Flash application for the iPhone

Iphone limits (searching, editing...)

I called Apple Tech support on my iphone, not the one with the problem, and after 30 minutes, the call was dropped in the middle of the tech support guys sentence.
Regardless:
Overall I am NOT at all happy with the iphone: too many problems, main one being the fact that it will NOT search back more than one rolling year in calendar.
The screen is too small (I prefer a screen between 4" and 5.5" size, and BTW, the ipad is way too large for me.).
Entering an event in calendar takes way too many key strokes (touches), it is not user friendly: with not being able to use strokes to go back in edit mode, with only having ONE line editable (this is a huge limit), and with not being able to tap on a time in calendar to automatically start an entry... and much more...
I WILL be buying Apples competition devices ASAP. when they come out with one that has a large enough screen (4 to 5.5") and allow searching where the search result will include all dates, and TAKE ME TO THE SEARCH STRINGs IN the documents that has them; instead of just showing me the document that HAS the string somewhere in it like the iphone does.
I'm a long time apple customer, since the apple II, and am not happy with the direction apple has gone. Toys, toys, toys for kids. instead of useful powerful tools. SHAME ON YOU APPLE.

I bought the EVO 4G, and really really like the size of the screen, much easier to read, with my being over 40 and needing reading glasses, but with this screen size I don't need them!
I also like:
1. the fact that is shows the weather on home screen, and in the calendar!
2. it was easy to sync my contacts on the Mac.
3. The camera is much better than the one one the iphone 3Gs, ditto the camcorder.
(much better light sensitivity than on the iphone 3Gs, which (iphone) was much better than the camera on the Droid).
4. I really like the 4 buttons on the EVO, that are always there! (back button, search button, home and menu, very nice!
5. that just like the iphone it also can use ereader. must download first tho.
6. The nutrition/fitness program I found (Calorie Counter) is better than the same type program I found on the iphone.
what I don't like:
1. after much trial and error, I've come to the unhappy conclusion that I CAN NOT get my calendar data into the android Calendar AND ALSO INTO THE EVO 4G. (I mainly use a Mac, and have had horrible trouble, countless hours trying to get all the data into Google Calendar, no fault of the EVO or Android OS, but for some reason Google Calendar cannot even import IT'S OWN BACKUP FILE! I've tried on THREE different computers to do this, Two PC's and one Mac. I had a tech support guy take over one of the PC's and he also failed to get it to import it's own backup/archive data, since I had backed up google cal, so there would be no 7,000 duplicates like last time, and was dismayed to find that it not only failed to import iCal data, but also failed to import it's own file.)
2. I was very hopeful that Mark/Space's "Missing Sync for Android" would fill in the missing ability. However I was not able to import all the data into Fliq calendar, and worse of all: Fliq Calendar, included with Missing Sync for Android, DOESN'T HAVE A SEARCH FEATURE! (the tech support guy says: "I don't have a timeframe for when Fliq Calendar will have a search option. All I can say is that its been looked at and considered. " Nice of them to 'consider' such a basic and required feature. heh.
I am very glad Mark/Space has a free 2 week trial version, so I didn't have to waste money only to find out it lacks such basics.
3. Man! I was REALLY thinking this EVO would work, but besides all the little problems with EVO 4G, NOT MENTIONED, google calendar, when I finally did get some data into it, fails to sync EVO to Google, but usually, not always, syncs Google to EVO.
So, I am sad to say that I need to return this wonderful EVO 4G to Sprint, and I just need to resign myself to the iphones limits (of NOT being able to search backwards more than one rolling year, in calendar on the device.!!) BTW: THIS LIMIT is true of ALL iphones, and even the iPad.
CORPORATIONS control the world. they do what they want, brain wash us into accepting and even seeming to LIKE what they produce. (they are MASTERS of Deception!)
Yes, I know, they produce so much that is good, that’s awesome.
It just irks me that they take our power away with their controlling, unilateral way of being.
I’m not sure the good outweighs the negative.

Is apple care for iphone limited for the country you've purchased?

Is apple care for iphone limited for the country you've purchased?

I believe it is international.
Each product has a different AppleCare Agreement and different conditions.
For the iPhone there are online several AppleCare manuals in different languages. May be they are just translations but may be each different language/country give different rules.
Anyway if you buy in a country and register Applecare in that country you recive your actual Manual and rules to follow. If you need assistence you can call your serivce number or start the request online. Apple will decide according to the problem and your location how to procede: you may go to a service center, or send the item to the adress Apple will provide to you, or Apple can send you parts to repair it yourselve.
This should not be limited to a country.

IPhone iPod Question

I have a question about the iPod in the iPhone 3G 8GB. Is it possible to manually add/remove music from your iPhoen as I do not have enough room and I do not want to delete additional content. I cannot figure out how you can delete or add specific songs or albumns, is there a way to do this?.
Also when listening to an albulm on my iPod it does not play through teh albumn, it just plays track 1 or the selected track over and over instead of playong through the albumn, is there a way to change this?.
Any help appretiated
Kind Regards

If you make a playlist in iTunes (a 'Smart Playlist' is a good option) of all of your music then you can be sure that all music on the playlist will be loaded and better than that, if you have several playlists containing the same music then each song is loaded only once, thus saving space (I discovered).... If you make a playlist that contains only a sub-set of the music in your Library then you won't be bothered by space wasted on things that you would never play anyway?
I was (once) tempted to loaded everything in my Library onto my iPhone when my Library was only a bit more than 12Gigs, but seeing how much my megalomania limited options for doing much more with my iPhone I learned very quickly!
Good luck and may you be able to find a combination that suits you....

IPhone Simulator question

I haven't downloaded the SDK yet because I'm not sure that I want to waste the time until I know that it'll do what I need... Can anyone who is using the simulator answer a question? How does the simulator deal with external communication? for example, can you test a program which uses bluetooth, wifi or the USB cable?

There is a way (in code) to check if you are on wifi or edge network, but I don't know if the simulator can simulate one or the other to test that out. Should be easy enough to implement, however.
Apple does say it's a limited number of US developers, but... where does it say "few?" Semantics, I guess. I don't see too much of a benefit to Apple for limiting the beta users excessively. Heck, it's a wave of enthusiasm that pays $99 a pop. My hope is that plenty of people of all development backgrounds (including me) will get in. My only concern is that all Apple knows about me from the abrupt "enrollment" is what they can glean from my Apple ID account. :o/
Also, I think it's wrong to assume that actually having the iPhone 2.0 software will allow you to test apps on your iPhone. The way I understand it you need to get a certificate, etc. and establish the iPhone or iPod Touch as a development machine while testing.

IPhone limited to 130 apps at a time! 6,200 apps available in app store

The i phone is limited to nine app screen i notice this when i try to move on to a tenth screen and it would not let me and also when you download a app after all 9 screen are full the app dose not show up but the app store says it is installed apple needs to expand the amount of screen allowed. you then end up having to delete 2 apps download 1 app in able to make the invisible app appear you have to try this one out for your self so you get a better idea of what i mean so it looks like we are limited to 144 apps per iPhone subtract 14 apps that come default on the screen not including the 4 that are on the bar below you are left with 130 apps that can be downloaded and use at a time per i phone that ***** there are over 6,200 apps available in the app store as i type this to you and apple is limiting me to only carry 130 at a time there is somthing worng with this and i think somthing should be done!

No acutally what that means is most people like myself have to install 30 apps just to get the iphone to do half the things it should have done out of the box. Sure some are wants but most are "need" in order for it to do the things my old palm treo 600 could do, and still there's not copy and past and no video. On top of that they have a stupid 130 limit. I'd love to hear why that is.

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.

Ipod 5th gen user considering a new iphone, imessage question.

Hello all,
I currently have a ipod touch 5th generation, I use the imessage feature a lot to keep in touch with friends all over the world so it does not cost me on my regular cell plan. Now my quetsion is , if I get the new iphone, I don't want the imessages to come through on my cell because all of my friends who I use this feature with have international numbers. If I am using my ipod for imessaging, do I just need to cut the phone off so I won't get any charges for imessages? I just don't want to get a huge bill for imessages on my cell for international numbers. Also, if I download something like Viber and I use my phone number to converse with international friends over 3G, will this be free as long as I have unlimited texting? Please help, thanks!

iMessaging between iOS devices has no carrier chargers for the message delivery itself - it only matters what type of internet data connection your are using.
If your iPhone is on a wifi network, then iMessage is completely free, even if another iMessage user sends to your phone number since iMessages are processed by Apple's equipment, not your cellular carrier's. In that scenario, your telephone number is just another identifier linked to your AppleID and your iMessage account - it is effectively no different than your associated "can be reached at" email addresses also linked to that same AppleID and iMessage account.
However, if you are not connected to a wifi network, and you are using a cellular data connection for internet access, then some data charges may apply, or some data usage may be applied against your service limits (if you have limits). This is because an iMessage over your cellular service data connection is just like any other internet data connection, so your carrier does pass along the data, but they do not process the actual message delivery.
So iMessage is no different than any other internet data messaging service - if you are using a free internet data connection, it is free. If you are using any form of paid internet connection, like your cellelur providers cellular internet connection, then it is effectively not free.
Viber, Skype or any other VOIP service with messaging features has the exact same limitation - they all use an internet data connection, so any charges from your cellular service provider would be related to whether you use those apps & their services over your cellular data connection. If you use those over free wifi connections, then again, there are zero charges from your cellular service provider, who only cares when you are using their data network for your internet access to use your internet-based messaging services.
Note that SMS message are processed by your cellular service provider, but they do not use your cellular internet data connection - SMS is sent over the same channels as a cellular voice call. There is no way to use SMS in an iPhone's messaging app and not pay your carrier something.

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.

Big iPhone/Android Question

Hey guys, i am due for an annual upgrade pretty soon, however my actual upgrade for NE2 is in August, i was really debating to get the iphone when verizon gets it or the LG Ally phone. I hear go with a droid, what do you guys suggest??

lack of multi tasking on the iphone is not a verizon thing, its an apple thing
you can multitask on the iphone, with limited results.
it uses an app for that, and the apps that are running must be writtin to use the multi tasking app
texting and surfin on verizon network is limited on any phone
you temporarily lose your data connection when the text is sent or recieved.
you cannot talk and surf at the same time either, its a techonolgy thing, cdma does not do this
gsm does, lte will (i think)
multitasking is running 2 apps at the same time.
think of windows and running excell and word at the same time.
windows mobile does it, android does it, iphone is possible (if the software is written properly

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).

IPhone Sim Question. Christmas present for the gf

Hi Mac users. Just wanted to clear something up about the iPhone. I have myself an iPhone 3gs. Taken out with contract, phone included, all very simple. Now christmas is rolling around I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a 3gs also as she's always looking at mine lol. Thing is, she already has a monthly contract using a sony ericsson xperia mini pro (which she hates). Her contract is with Vodaphone. Problem is tho I've heard I can't just surprise her with an iPhone, she pops her sim card in and away she goes. Apparently the sim wont work in an iphone or something and has to be set up by the provider and a different tariff arranged for it to work :/. Can anyone tell me if that information is correct as I am keen on suprising her with it on christmas day. But cant really talk to her provider without her…. and pretty much giving away the surprise. Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

WOW, Lots of questions.
First, I suggest you read the descriptions of the Apple Airport Extrem and Airport Express, the two wireless devices made by Apple, so that you understand the different capabilites of the two.
For your friend, I'm going to assume that you want to connect all the devices wirelessly. This should be possible with his existing wireless router (model?), the XP laptop, iPad, and Epson printer should all be able to reside on the network. The primary issue is printing from the Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone). As you may be aware, the best and easiest solution is to have a printer that is AirPrint compatible, or purchase something like the Lantronics xPrintServer, which allows USB and network printers that are not AirPritn compatible to be used with iPads and iPhones. Finally, the Apple Airport Software Utility (there is an Apple OS and an Windows version) will allow you to configure any Apple wireless device (Express or Extreme).
So post back how you intend to connect the devices (ethernet or wirelessly) and what model epson printer you have, is it network capable or just USB? Is it AirPrint compatible? I can give you more specific help then.
As for your network, yes you connect either the airport Extreme or Express to an existing network. But if all you want to do is add AirPrint capability so that you can easily print from your iPhone or iPad, i'd suggest that you just add an xPrint server or maybe try the NetGear Genie software (runs on a Mac or PC) which is supposed to add airprint capability to any network but requries that a Mac or PC be running on the network in order to use it.
Post back if you have more questions.

Quick iPhone packager question...

Hello,
I am interested in purchasing Flash CS5 so I can make an iPhone app that involves PDF opening and saving, but I had a question to all those who have used AlivePDF... would it work with the packager for iphone to make an iPhone app?
If not...
With the rescources Flash CS5 has with Air 2...would I be able to open a PDF, draw on it, then save it to the iPhones desktop? Or would that just be an AlivePDF thing? If AlivePDF doesn't work with the iPhone packager, is there any way I could handle opening/saving PDF's with anything else?
Thanks in advance for the reply.
-mightybotme

Hi mightybot,
I checked with Thibaut, and he indicated AlivePDF should work with AIR 2 mobile profile and the Packager for iPhone. Let us know your results!

IPhone/iTunes question

I have two questions. One, how do I download selected songs from my iTunes folder on my Mac to my iPhone?
Two, is there a good site for video tutorials on iPhone?
mahalo

I would like the ability to browse the iTunes store on the iPhone when on the EDGE network and add them to a "download queue" that downloads only when WiFi access is available or when I am back on my home computer.
To me and many other people, the iTunes store on the iPhone serves as a great way to purchase and download new music on the fly. This is the most useful when I want a new song I hear on the radio or from a friend, etc. But since the iPhone store is only accessible via WiFi, the instant ability to find the song and purchase it is unavailable when I most want to use it. I usually forget the name of the artist or song by the time I get to a wifi network or computer.
This feature I'm requesting would allow me to purchase a song anytime anywhere but would not complicate or slow down downloads because they would not be allowed over EDGE. Thanks!
