[iPhone + Quicktime] STARTTIME Attribute Support in Mobile Safari?

I have a large amount of program audio with time offsets normally served through a web-based Flash MP3 player.
In my attempt to port this content to the iPhone, I am hoping to make use of the STARTTIME embed attribute in Quicktime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html#starttime).
Unfortunately, this feature doesn't seem to be working with Mobile Safari. Does anyone know if this is an option in the iPhone Quicktime player, or are there any possible workarounds for setting time offsets on progressive MP3 audio?
Thanks!

i'm not sure the iphone supports .mov files. try exporting as a .mp4 (MPEG-4).

Mobile Safari vCard Support

My company is trying to roll out new business cards that incorporate QR Codes. We were going to offer a download of our vCard through our website, but mobile safari apparently does not support downloading .vcf files.
We can't embed all of our information into the QR code itself because of size constraints. The only workaround we've found so far is to have clients send us their email address and then we send them back the vCard as an email attachment.
Please include vCard support for mobile safari in the next iOS release.

Yes, Apple, please do this. We are planning the same thing at our company.

Mobile safari and Iframe within widget

If a site is fully supported in mobile safari on the ipad, will it be fully supported via as an iframe in the ibook? I thought the two were one in the same.
I have a situation where I have an html 5 site called within an iframe of a widget and it does not work. Loads the iframe then nothing. The widget loads fine on the desktop and in preview in I book author but on the ipad it does not complain, just does not show up. In mobile safari, it also shows and works just fine. Any ideas?

Embedding quicktime files to be viewed in mobile safari on iphone

I'm trying to place some quicktime files i've made on my site so that they're viewable on my iphone's mobile safari browser. I can't seem to get it to work, anyone else have any luck?
Currently i've exported it as .mov, and .m4v several different ways including using QTPro, FCP, and compressor and always selecting the iPhone option.
Is there a certain type of html the iphone needs to have the video embedded with in order to read it on the iphone?
My current result is either the phone says "can't download file" or "quicktime can't play file"

i'm not sure the iphone supports .mov files. try exporting as a .mp4 (MPEG-4).

"Autoplay" doesn't work for playing audio in mobile Safari (iphone)?

I have 2 problems that would like solve, please help me. The first one is I've noticed that QuickTime doesn't play audio automatically when setting attribute "Autoplay" to true. The second my problem that I need playback audio in background mode, that is without opening Quicktime player window. Below my code how I try doing it...

Thanks all in advance and waiting replies.

QuickTimeKirk, thanks a lot for your answer, but I'm interesting in Mobile Safari, not IE, FF or Opera This is these problems appear only for iphone browser, for others ones it works fine, even in Safari for Windows. So, autoplay still doesn't work... And please consult me about quicktime player browser's plugin, I mean why I cannot play sound with javascript function [documetn.getElementById("qtplayer").Play()] without opening sound track in plugin window? I really need playback in background. Or is it feature of quicktime?
Thank you in advance,
Valeriy.

How do you create a login page using dashcode for the iPhone's mobile safari that will transfer you to the next page?

     Hey I have created a login page in Dashcode for a mobile safari app (aka iphone web app) and I am having trouble since I can not find any useful info about multiple pages. I don't want to use a stack layout view because it is only a login page and I need to check with a database to make sure the user's login info is correct. Right now I have it set up so that it loads another iphone web app project once it validates the info.
     The only problem with this is I am having a good bit of trouble trying to pass values from my php code to javascript or html. For some reason calling the javascript inside the php code makes the actual code inside the app not be called and same with the echo statment for the html.
So I would like to be able to create the app in this way:
Login page > PHP > MS SQL > PHP > UNKNOWN (if I can't get the javascript or html to output both) > Secure info on the next page
     I believe It would be a lot easier if I had the option for a multiple page but instead I am having to load up an entirely new dashcode project. If anyone knows a better way please let me know. Or if anyone knows a link to good information on passing values from php to javascript, because I couldn't get any of the code I tried to work, I would really appreciate it.

Addendum to previous reply:
OK. This is weird--but I should be used to that, and just grateful that it seems to work (for now).
What I had done is FTPd some image files to my site using Filezilla, but when I had tried to access them, I was unsuccessful. I am almost sure that I used the same url (and variations of it) as you suggested, namely,  http://mysite.verizon.net/username/filename , and it either did not work, or gave me the "Page under construction", or, in some cases asked me for my username and password.
But, when I did it this time, it worked. So I probably had something off, but I can now do what I want.
By the way, if you'll permit another question, while on the site-builder site, it said that there was a "Web Photo Manager", and said that "To download the Web Photo Manager: Open the Site Builder application and go to the All My Sites page. Click on the Web Photo Manager link (listed under Advanced Building Tools )." I can't find it--would you happen to know where it is?
In any case, thanks a lot for all your help--it solved my problem.

Mobile Safari crashes on launch on both my iPad and iPhone.

Since yesterday, Mobile Safari on my iPad AND my iPhone crashes upon launch. If I try to access Safari from settings, the devices hang indefinitely. I have tried restoring from a known good backup, but the problem persists. Does anyone have ANY idea what is going on?
By the way, Mercury Browser works absolutely fine; this is not an internet access issue.

When will WebGL be supported on iOS Mobile Safari?

In our enterpirse we have developed a WebGL application using Three.js framework. Now, our customer wants it to run on Apple iPad. The problem is that we have found out that WebGL is only supported on iOS by using iAd. So we are wondering when will WebGL be supported on iOS mobile Safari to decide what to do.
Thanks!

Dunno, it's a bit off topic, but there's no way that an emulated ARM build of flash would even run at all on iOS at the current point, let alone 7 years ago.
It's not that you can't build good flash, it's just that people don't. As you've said, you can use a dumbed down, non-extensible Adobe GUI to spit out javascript, and it'll tank just the same. Adobe Photoshop used to be the most blazingly fast application on the Mac. Adobe are a different story these days. Flash is a resource hog, whereas javascript is outright inefficient at moving graphics around, although it is improving substantially.
Flex, on the other hand, is open source.
Flash was actually created by Adobe. Adobe owned the vector graphics bezier patents, so Macromedia couldn't build a GUI editor for their Shockwave platform, which was sort of C++ territory, for making CD ROMS. Not used a lot because of the manual type of input required.
Macromedia bought flash as a cheapo animation program with some strange usability ideas (such as applying boolean intersects to overlapping objects without asking you), but combining this legally-released and patent-free GUI editor with shockwave export capabilities made shockwave accessible to non-technical users. Who would pile on loads of effects, run it natively as an app to test, and then deploy it in a web plugin which runs far less efficiently. That's not exactly Flash's fault, but the fact that they've just ported it wholesale a whole bunch of times without a proper human rewrite makes for evil performance, a problem you don't have with javascript. You don't have to get what Adobe want to give you as a binary, like it or lump it.
iOS ***** in many ways, the fact that you have to reverse engineer everything and crack if you want to get even the most basic level of customisability and extensibility that you would expect on any decent computer is genuinely frightening. That device could also be up to absolutely anything behind your back, and you'd be none the wiser staring at the GUI. Just trust apple. Or ask somebody who has been prodding around in there with a sharp screwdriver.
Neither Adobe nor Apple have an entirely ideal character for the relationship to have worked. Adobe own a shedload of patents when it comes to the maths behind image processing technology. Adobe Postscript is built into OSX, comes from NeXT. Mr Jobs lost his rag with Adobe when Adobe forced Apple programmers to work on the code related to PostScript in some sort of high security bunker, and wouldn't let them take away anything but binaries. This made the development work a massive hassle. The Apple programmers also suggested that a lot of the code was hidden out of shame rather than out of protectionism. Adobe's real strength is legalised monopolies on basic image processing technology, they've owned it since they turned over Paintbox's patents on alpha blending of pixels.
Been using Apple & Adobe products as my day to day workhorse stuff for over 20 years. Adobe used to be just as bad as the other software firms for generally mean behaviour, but they did write hand-optimised C++, and every year they'd raise the bar with features that you actually need. Each new version would save you weeks in a month.
Post-internet, whole different ballgame. Different setup, $bns at stake now. Land grab for the new ultra-consumerised computer technology. The good thing about consumers is that you can subject them to abuse, they get a yea or nay decision. Do you want what we're giving you?
These sorts of computer industry companies used to be toolmakers for the graphics industry.
Now they're supplying the communications technology for everything. Consumables plugged into every industry in the world. That sort of power is a corrupting influence.

Mobile Safari / Webview - closing quicktime media does not return to page

Hello. I have noticed that recently, with the 4.3.1 update, when you click 'Done' in a quicktime player window invoked from a Mobile Safari or webView page, the player controls disappear, but the quicktime logo stays on the screen.
In previous versions of IOS, when you click Done, it returns you to the calling page.
Simple test: create a webpage with a link to a MP3 file. Load it in Safari, click it to invoke the Quicktime player. Pre-4.3.1, when you click Done, the player exists and returns you to the webpage. On 4.3.1, when you click Done, the player remains on the screen, and you have to use Mobile Safari's controls to navigate back to the page.
Anyone know how to revert to pre-4.3.1 behavior?

I haven't submitted a report nor feedback because, quite frankly, I seldomly venture into Apple's sites and I have not submitted a bug report to Apple before, nor would I know how to do so. I also assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that Apple has staff perusing these forums and taking notes and passing them to QA and their developers.
But I agree, submitting a bug report/feedback is a great idea. I'll figure it out and do so tomorrow when I have more time.
By the way, why did '*****,' appear in my post? I didn't use any obscene words.

Force Safari into mobile Safari

Anyone out there know if it's possible to force Safari on my iPad to interact with a website as my iPhone (mobile) Safari does? There's a website with a function that's working fine through my iPhone's Safari, but not iPad's version.

Thanks for trying! No, actually, the cloud player - which didn't work in Safari before , has actually finally started working for me (Some with original iPads say no change in that, however.) But with the recent change, you can't even buy mp3s albums from regular Amazon website pages, anymore. We all used to be able to. Now it just says - multimedia downloads now currently supported by this device, go to a regular computer to buy it.
In an iphone, a separate, new amazon mp3 store pops up in a new page and you can purchase mp3s off there just fine. Which is how safari should work on iPad, also. They've just got some glitch in the programming somewhere to prevent that (for now). Which is why I though if I could make my iPad Safari behave like my iPhone Safari, I could 'trick' the glitch until it's mended.

I had to replace my Iphone 5c with a new one. Now, my windows 7 pc does not recognize my iphone. Reinstalled itunes. Apple mobile device is running. I did whatever I could find on the internet still no luck. Any suggestions? Thnx

Mobile Safari does not play videos

http://naartjie.nanoson.com/movie.html
Three videos on a simple HTML page[/URL] Check HTML source yourself - it's trivial!
First video about Subaru plays well in Mobile Safari.
About second Mobile Safari says, that it can't download video file! About third it says, that video can't be played.
First I thought that video format is wrong, but! If all that 3 videos send via email to iPhone or upload to iDisk and use iDisk.app, all they can played without any errors! So what is my mistake? Are there any more strict limitations on video in HTML for Mobile Safari?

K T, I'm not sure what you're talking about, but since this WORKED on the iPad but DID NOT work on ANY other version of Safari (including the iPhone/iPod version), I don't think that could possibly be the issue. Now, what it COULD be is that I processed these videos on an old PowerMac with Final Cut Studio 1 (so Compressor 2, not Compressor 3) . . . but I thought the H.264 standard has been unchanged for seven years, right? If so, I don't see how that could be it either. But I don't know much about this stuff.
Would compressing the file for "streaming" rather than "download" on an older version of Compressor do anything to the resulting file that would somehow make it incompatible with Safari? And maybe they just tweaked the **** out of the iPad for the big launch and caught that bug, but haven't fixed it on other platforms yet? Like I said, I don't know much about this stuff, but that's the only thing I can think of that made the videos I processed, uploaded, and tested any different than the videos that WORK on all versions of Safari.
To clarify, all the videos I have processed myself ONLY work on the iPad. Videos I download from the Internet, then upload and test with the exact same code, work on all up-to-date versions of Safari (and Chrome too).

Images saved from Mobile Safari are significantly degraded

When I tried to use an image saved from Mobile Safari as my wallpaper I noticed that it looked horrible. It was blurry and more importantly the dynamic range of the image had been compressed, blowing out all the detail in the bright areas of the image and making it contrastier. This is especially bad on the type of photo I was trying to use, a high-key image, where most of the detail is in the light tones. Much of the image was simply displayed as blank white.
As a test I tried emailing the image I had saved into Photos to myself and compared it to the original I had saved from the web. Sure enough, the image was blurrier and had less dynamic range so it's not just an iPhone display issue. Also, the image was only 27% smaller in file size and the pixel dimensions were actually slightly increased. A quick re-save in Photoshop with JPEG quality set to low (4) reduced the file size by 53% while still not affecting the image anything like what the iPhone did. So it doesn't make sense that the poor quality is only due to resizing for faster transmission.
Can anyone else confirm this or replicate the issue? I've verified this with a 1st gen and 3G iPhone side by side, both running OS 2.1.

No, it's not only you.
I noticed it too. As a matter of fact, I just posted a really long post in a thread about iPhone/iPod Touch's photo quality.

How well does the iPhone 5s/5c work with Wind Mobile?

I'm going to be (hopefully) getting the iphone 5s or 5c soon and I'm trying to decide on which carrier to go with. How well does the iphone 5s/5c work with wind mobile and how fast is the internet with data?
