Is there a remote app that will let me open and close programs on my iMac

Hi There,
I know that I can use the Apple Inc "Remote App" to control my iTunes on my iMac - and I really like it for when I am not right at my computer, but I have to have iTunes open on my iMac before I can use it which is a bit of a pain to have to think "Am I going to use iTunes today?" or to run off to my office at the other end of my house when I decide I want music through my speakers and so my question is thus.
Is there a remote app that I can download for iPhone or even iPad lets you open and close programs on your iMac when you are not actually sitting at it. So say I want to open iTunes on my iMac i would do the following
1: Open the remote app on my device (either iPhone or iPad)
2: See a representation of iMac screen on that device (cut down for iPhone)
3: Chose the program I want (iTunes in this case) and it will open on my iMac allowing me to begin using the program remotely on my remote device.
I am not talking about remote desktop or anything here (I don't want to do complicated things on it) just be able to open programs like iTunes so I can have the music play through my home speaker system without having to have all of my programs already running on my mac incase I decide to use them

Is there an iPad app that will let me read a pdf be able to type notes that I can save as a separate plain text file?

In researching a subject, I would like to be able to read several pdfs in succession and keep adding to a text document where I keep notes.
I have seen iPad apps that will let you mark up a pdf, but I would like to have one text file that I keep all my typed notes as a compilation on a subject.
desirable but not critical:
Ideally a split screen where you can have see the pdf and your notes at the same time.
It would be even better if you could copy and paste text from pdf into the note.
It would be great if you could copy a figure into the note (as I can do w/ la partial screen capture on my mac laptop)
I welcome your suggestions if you know of any iPad apps that you think would be useful for the above.
Thanks,
Kevin Lease

Go to settings> general and scroll down to multitasking geastures, turn them on and by swiping with four fingers from the right side of the iPad to the left and back you can switch between apps. I think this is what you need I'm not sure, I hope it helps

I Am looking for an app free app that will allow me to type and edit my homework. I am using a 7.1.1 version of I pad. I have a wireless printer from Walmart hp envy 4502 which is working great. Appreciate any input

Only two devices on our plan, so not so much an issue. And I have found myself using it much more than I thought I would when we got them (also first smart phones for both of us). Even got my wife to use hers for checking email while we were out of the country (big step forward for her ). I'm very interested in the ApplePay, but will want to wait a bit before diving into it. And since both phones are still in great working order, will likely wait a bit for the upgrade (sometime next year?). Will depend, I suppose, on the kinds of deals we see and what the plans turn out to be for updating my iPad and getting here one.

Is there any app that will let me listen music through bluetooth headset

Is there any Iphone App that will let me listen music through my bluetooth headset.

No. There is no FM tuner in the phone. The audio from the TVs in the gym is broadcast over FM radio frequencies, they are not piping it out over the Internet. If there was an app that would let you listen to them, it would be specific to your gym.

Look at Documents to Go Premium Suite in the App Store. That app should be able to edit excel files.

HT2052 are there sources for apps that will run in iOS 3?

I have a 1st generation iPod touch, which I have upgraded to iOS 3.1.3, but it seems as though there are no apps that will run in less than iOS 4. Are there any sources for older versions of the apps that will work?

There are still a some apps that will work with the 1G iPod with iOS 3.1.3. However, there is not way to search by compatibility. You just have look at the Requirements section for the app.
You can only use apps purchased from the app store.

Is there an add on to Creative Suite 6 that will let it open Creative Cloud versions of indesign?

I would like to know if there is an add on that will let you open a newer version indesign document in my CS6 version?
Instead of asking the customer to save a copy in interchange format?
I was thinking of upgrading, until I found that you have to pay forever for this software.
I would rather pay one time and use the software like the CS6 version.

Compatibility will depend on application. InDesign for instance needs to be saved back via IDML. But it will be the responsibility of the Creative Cloud user to take care of this for the most part.
For InDesign, Markzware has a new tool: http://markzware.com/products/markztools/
I suggest posting in the various application forums to find out details on compatibility.
Keep in mind that Creative Cloud will become more and more incompatible with CS6 and earlier versions as time goes on and features are added to the software.

I have an iphone 4s, I installed Vtok but the video chatting part of the app is not working when I try to chat with my husband through gmail on his PC. Can I fix this or is there another app that will let me chat with my gmail chat contacts?

Vtok video chatting is not working on my iphone 4s. When I try to do a video chat with my gmail chat contacts who are using a PC we each only get the voice part of the chat and no video. Is there some way to fix this or is there another program that will let me video chat with my gmail chat contacts? Thank you.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Is there a picture organization app that will let you move pictures around the way you want?

I need a recommendation for a picture organization app that will actually allow you to sort pictures the way you want and have them stay in that order.
The native app just doesn't allow me to sort my pictures into what ever sequence I want them in. Creating new folders is OK, finally being able to delete pictures from photo stream is great but I really want a finer level of control over the order in which my pictures are displayed. I looked at iPhoto but it has lots of reviews that say it doesn't do this so I am looking for an app that will give me control of my albums and will allow me to sort my pictures the way I want them.

Hi Thom_D,
I have iPhoto and I have found that it works very well for me, organising photos etc. onto a pinboard type thing.
Hope this helps!

Is there a an app that will filter/block unwanted sms messages?

Hi i hope i have put this in the right section but this is my first post so be gentle if i haven't !
i recently had a nokia n97 (i know wash my mouth out with soap for saying it !) now the phone was cr*p very slow and the charger went up in smoke after 10 days so it went back and i got an i-phone which i should have done in the first place as it is 100% better!
the only thing that was good for the n97 was there was an app that would filter unwanted sms messages
basically you had a "black list " of phone no's or you set it to only accept from contacts list then the app just filtered the sms messages from anywhere else
i cant find anything even remotly similar for the iphone does anyone know of one?

Well in the US on AT&T you can. AT&T has a website (mymessages.wireless.att.com), here you get a limited ability to block SMS. This feature is not highly publicized for obvious reasons. Contact your carrier and see if they have a similar service, many do, they just to publicize such.

Is there a weather app that will show 12 hour temp forecast in a Glances view?

I've tried a bunch of the weather apps for the Apple Watch, and none of them seem to have the feature I'd like. In the glances view, I'd like to be able to see what the termperature will be for the next 12 hours, in addition to the current termperature. For example, I went to a baseball game last night and I wanted to know what the temperature would be when the game was done to see if I needed to bring a jacket along.
It would also be nice if all Apple Watch applications that supported Glances clearly distinguished their screen shot for Glances from the regular App interface in the App Store. There are weather apps that have this feature in the app, but launching into an app is far less convenient than Glances.

Hmm. I think this is built in functionality. I have the current temp showing on my Watch face. If I touch it, the watch brings up a round image showing the next twelve hours of temps. If you touch the screen again it shows cloud coverage/sunny status for each of those hours, touch it again it shows percent chance of rain precipitation for those twelve hours. I think this is what you are looking for. I find this easier to get to than the glances. Just a single tap on the current temp on the watch face. Of course this presumes you have the temp showing on your watch face.
Oh and if you scroll up it shows you the next ten days forecast.
Unfortunately they don't have a guided tour anywhere that I see for the built in weather app on the Apple website. But the screens are pretty nice. It's now my only weather app. All others have been ignored or uninstalled.

Is there a calendar app that will sync HTC one, android Samsuhg tablet and a PC?

Looking for a calendar app that will sync an HTC one M8, a Samsung android Tablet and a desktop PC? If I put an event in one it will find it in the other?

Just make sure you are selecting the gmail address as the place to create the event. Otherwise it will only be saved to the phone.
For example, my Gmail/Google calendar currently syncs between the PC/Web, android phone backup android phone and two tablets.

HT201304 does anyone know if there is an free or inexpensive app that will let me mange some 3rd party apps on my IPAD 2 that are soundiing pretty scary??? Im still green behind the ears after 8 montth. Acutally, what are those apps (found by Battery Do

I mean, why shouldn't those apps show up when I look for them, since they are from 3rd parties and if they must be there, how about an idea of who they are and whate they do. I would expect as the owner to have some sort of explanation of who the 3rd party is, why there apps are apprearing on your ipad without permission, and maybe the ramifications of taking off or at least turning them off. Its not rocket science, people. It really about our rights as pople, right???

Most likely because they are not apps. They are background processes the OS is runnning.

I suggest you sell your iPad and not worry about it any longer.
