Is there a way to use an iphone 4 as a wired USB web camera?

I've researched alot of apps that will allow the iphone to be used as a webcam, but they all seem to be wireless... is there any way to do this through a USB connection?
(I hope to make stopmotion animition using dragonframe with my iphone as an external HD webcamera, the dragonframe software requires USB connection)
Any help is greatly appriciated!

Just wanted to point out something that is possible with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite coming out. You can use the below feature, and use and app on the iOS Device such as 'Mirror', to give you your camera with no UI, to record like a USB webcam. Pretty cool. Hope this helps.
Check it out!

Here is a quote:
"With iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, Apple has made it possible to capture real-time footage of apps directly off an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, as pointed out by 9to5Mac. Once you connect an iOS 8 device to your Mac running OS X 10.10, it will be automatically available as a video camera. You can then capture anything you’re doing on-screen directly to your Mac using QuickTime Player."

If your carrier supports the personal hotspot feature and you pay for a tethering plan, yes.

Is there a way to use my iPhone and iPad mobile email settings in a macbook air to utilize it as a true mobile device?

My company doesn't support macs, but the mobile mail works great on my iPhone/iPad. The settings provided by my company enables syncing on my calendar, I can accept appointments, and my mail syncs perfectly and always faster than my DELL laptop wired to my network.
My question is this... I desperately want a macbook air as I travel ALL the time. Can I use my mobile settings to send/receive/coordinate my calendar just as my iphone does on the macbook air? I have a macbook pro and have been experimenting with the mail.app, and it can't connect to the mobile server to my company.
If the settings work so well on iphone/ipad, why can't I get them to work with the mail app on OSX?
First off, I'm set up as exchange on my iphone.
I enter my company email address, add my company user name, add my password, enter domain, and type in mobile.xxxxxxxx.com as my server... WORKS perfectly.
On the mail.app on my mac, there's no place to add domain, so I've tried to not add it, and also tried to put my domain behind my company username. DOMAIN\USERNAME.
Mail can not connect to the server.
Is a port issue?
I also tried to sync the account using itunes. I currently have a gmail account, mobileme account, a yahoo account, and my company exchange account. ONLY the mobileme and gmail account show up in the sync.
How do I solve this? How can I make it work? Is there a mail client out there which makes OSX look like a mobile device for email/calendar applications???
I tried apple support, and I guess they can't wrap their heads around the fact that some companies still do not support mac. Support was useless.
HELP!!

How can I use a iPhone as a remote intervalometer/web camera?

Hey everyone.. got a question to throw out there and hopefully greater minds than mine will come up with an answer!
I'm part of a model aircraft flying club and our airstrips/fields are quite isolated and remote... we have no mains electric power or telephone land-lines. What i'm after is a solution to getting a series of still images (snap-shots) of the clubs airfield on to the clubs website... remotely. I know there are a few apps out there that will allow a iPhone to be used as a remote camera, and you then log into a website to view the images, but all seem to fall short on some specific critera I require. Like I said, the clubs club-house (shipping container) as no power, so the phone will have to be eventually powered from a larger battery source... like a mobile-home leisure battery, and then conected to the internet using either a data-only sim card in the phone or using a mifi... that bit is sorted! What is the problem I so need help with is; I need to set the iPhone to shoot stills only, say at a rate of 1 image every 15 mins and then upload them to a web server/website, also only to take the pics between set times of the day... afterall it's pointless taking pics in the dark, and also that'll use up data. I've had a look at apps such as 'Manything' and 'Presence' and also done a trawl on the web to see if a solution is available, but i've drawn a blank so far.
Any body able to help?

If you are referring to an Apple TV or iTunes remote control then download the "Remote" app from the app store.
If you are referring to a remote control for your TV, Cable box, DVD Player etc then you cannot use your iPhone as a remote for these things unless they are wifi connected and have a remote control app on the app store.

Can I use my iPhone or iPad as a web cam for my PC via the USB connection?

I've seen quite a few Apps for doing this wireless, most of which a very poorly executed OR don't work at all. I'm just wondering why it hasn't been more popular to do this via the USB connectivity.

Thanks Lawrence but the point is, I already own the $600 dollar device (given as a gift) and secondly because to purchase a web cam that has the same quality as the iPhone is actually just a bit more than $10 and I'm not really desirous to spend anymore money based on my budget. Any ideas of whether or not it can actually be done via USB OR do you have experience with an actual App that works via wireless to a PC? Thanks again...

Is there a way to use the iphone spotlight as a dictionary?

Does anyone know if there is a way via an app, setting or hack to use the spotlight function on the iphone as a dictionary as one can in OS X? While it is just a minor inconvenience to open a dictionary app, it a hassle I must nonetheless deal with several times a day. Thanks.

No, there isn't a built-in dictionary on the iPhone that could be used as a look-up.
I guess Apple consider it as a waste of valuable space when the device is designed to access the Wibbly Wobbly Web

Is there any way to use my iphone through the computer?

Today at work, my phone screen, which was already cracked, got messed up to the point where the screen is getting false touch signals. It is resonating from the top left of the screen and traveling down the fracture and making the phone impossible to use. I can barely open the lock screen, and there is no way to access any of the apps (including the actual call aspect). I want to know if there is a way for me to be able to use my phone through my computer, at least to be able to access my contact list and turn off an alarm I had set for tomorrow which I would prefer not to go off,since I would never be able to actually deactivate it...
My problem makes it impossible to even shut off the phone, and since I use it as my house phone as well, it would really be amazing of there was some way to work it through the computer. I also am wary about letting the battery run dry because I want to be able to see if people are trying to contact me.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

This is not a feature of the iPhone or iOS.
Replace the screen or device.

Is there no way to use the iPod Touch as a USB Flash drive?

All pervious versions of the iPod have had a checkbox option under Info for "Enable use as disk" which lets you transfer files to and from the iPod as if it were a USB Flash drive for general purpose storage. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131
This option is not available for iPod Touch. Does anyone know if Apple mentioned why? Does the iPhone support this option?
Apple seemed very concerned about taking applications away to distinguish the iPod Touch from the iPhone, this would be an example of a feature I think they should have included in the Touch regardless of its availability in the iPhone, I hope they change this in the future.

Does the iPhone support this option?
Not via Apple, but someone else has produced a way:

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

Hi everyone!
Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities:
"The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
Let's keep looking guys...

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
Cheers all.

There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.
