Japanese: Composing on iPhone is easy!

I spent hours looking for information on the Apple support site for instructions on how to compose Japanese text on the iPhone, and if it is there, it is buried. But composing Japanese on the iPhone is simple.
1. Go to KEYBOARD and enable Japanese (or any other language) by pushing ON, then in
2. MAIL go to the Small Box with a Pencil in the lower right-hand corner.
3. You will get an English (default) keyboard.
4. Select the Globe and you will get the "enabled" keyboard or Japanese ("hiragana").
5. Select the Globe again and you will get an English keyboard which will change to "hiragana"
as you type, and then it will give you a selection of the "Kanji."
6. Send your email.
7. Select the Globe one last time and you will get an English (default) keyboard once more.
This same process holds true for SMS text messages.
Apple does not have this information in their manual, unless I just missed it in the table of contents and the index. I didn't see it on their support site, or in the discussions, so here it is. Good luck!

In the iPhone User Guide, it's page 27 where the basic instructions are found.

Japanese keyboard on iPhone

Hey all. Just wondering if anybody is aware of a way to access the Japanese keyboard on iPhone. According to a load of sites out there it is actually preloaded onto iPhone, it's just a case of unlocking that option.
Any ideas? Oh yea, and I really don't want to go throught the so-called 'jailbreaking' technique; it looks complicated and a tad dangerous!
Cheers

You mentioned jailbreaking though; is that easy to do?
Well it appears easy enough if you read some of the websites that tell you how to do it, though i have no personal experience with it.
Will it invalidate my iPhone subscription with Apple, i.e. disallow the download of new updates etc. etc?
Yes it will. It will void your warranty, so if you need to get it repaired or replaced, you won't be able to. And yes, if you update the software, at the very least, it will revert back to factory defaults, and at the worst, may brick your phone, rendering it useless.
Sorry for asking seemingly innane questions but I'm new to all this!
No problem. We all have to start somewhere.
Cheers.
And to you also.

I've already done that. All is configured for my language, Portuguese.

English definitions of Japanese words in iPhone email

I sometimes receive email messages written in Japanese (even though my native langauge is American English and that is the language to which I set my iPhone). I read some Japanese, but need to look up many of the words in these email messages. It used to be the case that if I selected a Japanese word in an email message and then chose the "define" option the built in dictionary would show me the definition in both English and Japanese. After upgrading to iOS 6 that functionality was reduced and "define" now only shows the definition in Japanese. Often that definition has other words I don't know, and as a result it's not helpful in ultimately understanding the word I'm looking up. How can I change this feature back to the way it was in earlier versions of iOS so that choosing "define" for a Japanese word in an iPhone email message provides the definition in both English and Japanese?

I think it is gone. Tell Apple what you want via

Ical Duplicate on iPhone any easy way to delete with out computer?

any easy way to delte duplicate Ical entries on iPhone without home computer?

The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported. If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

Iphone dies easy?

Lately my iphone 5 has been dying at 20% then when I try to turn it back on it will show the charge icon. When I get around to charging the phone it will turn on right away & say 21% and charge like normal. Why is it doing this?
I am currently running the newest iphone update ios 8.1

Restore your phone as NEW, not using backup at all. You likely have a rogue app or an exchange account that's gone wacky.

Quartz Composer and iPhone

What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
Easy? Right?
Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

Maddening!!!!! What used to work now doesn't!
Where did simple drag and drop go? Apple invented it!
I have an iPhone 5s and want to transfer Playlists from my desktop iMac to the iPhone. I have had these products since their first releases years ago. I am a computer power user. What used to be a simpe "drag and drop" of your Playlist (yes, in Column View which I have turned on now) to your iPhone was easy and you were set. It is now impossible to do. Or easily!
There are been other posts on this. I have tried them all. None work or the explanations are not adequate.
WHY IS THIS SAME **** HARD WHEN IT USED TO BE DRAG AND DROP?
PS: Fire the iTune Product Manager who did this version..get Jony Ive on the case to fix the User Interface Design ASAP!

IPhone vs. Blackberry/Palm OS

I really like the iPhone. I’ve had my phone for 3 weeks now, and it is just so friendly and intuitive to use. The high res screen shows the icon and the text of the button you want. That makes it so easy and fast to launch an application. Beats the Blackberry hands down on the organizational structure and ease of use. It’s the first device that does the things I need it to do as a personal and business organizer in an easy and bright-colored way, including notes, whole-page Web browsing; contacts, email, alarm and timer, Google Maps, camera, calendar, SMS testing, phone, and…iPod. I love the two finger feature of pressing, flicking and pinching, instead of tapping, tapping, and clicking nested menus, as is typical on Palm and Windows devices. Blackberry began to solve this problem with the scroll wheel. On the iPhone, every action seems to have been thought of my Apple software engineers – from beautifully scrolling through contacts and email, to nicely flying emails into a folder for filing. The phone is beautiful and easy to use. The form factor is great: beats the old Newton 2000. To be sure, there are a few features other phones have that are left out of the iPhone, but they are not deal breakers for me. The integration of the component parts is seamless and transparent. It’s just a joy to use. And, it works great on my Mac. I’m not sure about Windows users. It seems that a lot of Windows users are testing the iPhone and complaining that the iPhone doesn’t do this like a Blackjack, or a Blackberry. Well, what it does do to me is by far and away the best, most elegant implementation on a Mac of useful features, I am very pleased with it.
+ Phone – Contacts are so easy to scroll to, or just pressing a letter on the alphabet makes the 300 or so contacts I have a joy to flow through. Since there is no hard keyboard taking up screen space, the keypad comes on full screen. It is so easy to see the numbers.
+Visual Voicemail –I really enjoy and find useful having all my voice mails there for me to just press and listen to. And I can more accurately remember who has called me. Wonderful personal business tool! I don’t nor have ever used wireless sync on a Blackberry over Exchange Server, so I can’t comment on that, although, it sounds like a nice feature to use in a large business.
+Mail – The best email reader I’ve ever used on a phone. Nice big fonts, 0-5 line preview. I have mine set on 3 lines. Nice clear, bold titles. Inline graphic and html viewing is superb! Plus, you can pinch and view graphics larger. Nice and easy to use. Imap mail seems to work best for me, as it is easy to file emails. No push except for Yahoo email, but that is actually fine as I was annoyed by push email. At night next to my bed the phone would vibrate whenever I received an email, and sometimes it would wake me up. I don’t need to know I’ve gotten an email at 4:00am.
+Auto correct in typing – this makes typing actually faster than it was on my Blackberry. Regional sensing recognition means I don’t have to actually type each word exactly; the iPhone predictive text operates pretty good, well enough that I just type a word and press the space bar…and almost every word I type completes accurately.
+Web browsing – Safari works great, much better than the Blackberry’s text only pages. To be fair, I could get some graphics on the BB browser, but it took so darn long to load over Edge, that I just gave up on Web browsing. The iPhone uses Wifi, so I can navigate real Web pages sitting on the couch. Nice! I actually use it over Edge, and I’m impressed with the whole Web page view. Also, my bookmarks are synced with my computer bookmarks, so I can make an iPhone set on my laptop, and use that as a set of links to navigate on the iPhone. Easy.
+iPod – Podcasts, songs, and videos – I use this iPod more than every other one I’ve owned for the simple reason that there is a phone attached to the iPod, so when a call comes in, I just press the answer button on the headset. With a blackberry, I’ve got to pull out the earbuds from my iPod, than either put the headset on for the phone, or the Bluetooth headset, and then answer the bloody thing. The iPhone allows me the freedom to listen to music or podcasts and answer the phone, and the music or podcast slowly fades away, and brings the caller’s voice up. Very nice and easy to use. Plus, I’ve watched a couple of TV shows, Star Trek for example, and they looks so good in widescreen. Nice touch.
+Stocks – so fast and easy to see up to date stock quotes.
+Google Maps – works just like on the Blackberry, but nice touches added like the pins that come flying in. Functionality is the same as on the Blackberry, but with touch screen access, it might be easier. It’s taking me a while to get used to the touch screen for everything as opposed to using a scroll wheel on the BB.
+SMS Texting – Just like iChat. I like the color-coded bubbles, and being able to see the entire set of conversations I’ve had with each phone number.
+Calendar – easy to read and syncs accurately with my Mac using iCal. The one drawback is no to-do lists! That’s the first serious shortcoming. I have to enter in a to-do as an appointment, and if I do not do it on Tues at 9am, then I have to edit it to see it on another day. That is a drawback.
+Photos – excellent, easy to use, and elegant scrolling through photos. Syncs perfectly with my Mac and iPhoto. I know exactly what photos are going to be on the phone. Again, pinching and flicking is so intuitive, easy, and enjoyable to use.
+Camera – easy to take pictures. Syncs easy with iPhoto. You need a lot of light for photos to come out nice and sharp. So it’s not a great camera, but functional with poses and enough light.
+Notes – I will say that with no note sync to the computer, this is a serious drawback.
+Battery life appears good. I get about 2-3 days, the same as on my Blackberry. But I’m also listening to Podcasts of Science Friday and On Point from WBUR in Boston. Great shows.
+Alarm and Timer – I use the timer feature to conduct meetings. The sounds are so pleasant to wake to. I’ve got it set on Harp, and it is nice and soft to wake to or end a meeting. Again, enjoyable to use is a key feature for me.
I use the iPhone much more than my Blackberry due to ease of sync with my Mac. I connect to iTunes, and my podcasts, music, photos, calendars and contacts sync automatically. Accurately. I wish there were to-do lists and note sync. That’s about the only two drawbacks I have. Palm and Blackberry didn’t have the best software for Mac synchronization. If you’re a Windows user, I can’t comment on syncing, and I’ve never owned a Windows Mobile device. If you’re a Mac user, the syncing is superb. You know that iCal and iPhoto will be synced accurately.

I have had the Blackberry for a number of years, and was even a featured user with it. But the iphone is a step up.
PDF files in the iphone can be read but not with blackberry.
I have not seen if the powerpoints can be read, will try that next -- although there may be some third party software.
Brought the iphone to Anchorage, Alaska, and the only reason I used my powerbook was when I wanted to type something. Next trip I don't think I need the laptop at all -- and that will save my shoulder from an early rotator cuff surgery.
The weather on iphone is much better and easier than Blackberry.
I would like push email, however. You can turn off notification.
Voicemail is a dream. Easy to see, to use and works very well.
Photos are easy, and fun -- and only wish they had a flash.
The Clock allows multiple time zones.
It would be nice if the weather icon showed the temperature in a selected city, on the home page.
Calendar is the easiest calendar I have used. I wish it would push through the internet -- then it would be almost perfect.
What would be more perfect-- faster data stream-- EVDO instead of Edge. The only downfall. But browsing on iphone is so much easier than blackberry.
So, take the Airport Express and a cable and the iphone will work perfectly in a hotel room.
Next -- powerpoint or keynote slides.

How do I open a Yahoo account (already on iPhone) on my iMac?

Entering a new Yahoo account on the iPhone was easy ... but when I come to open it on my iMac. I'm asked for an Incoming/Outgoing mail server. Anyone know what I should enter here? And isn't MobileMe supposed to sync these things automatically?

Looks like the answer is here:

Encoding error of texts in Japanese all of a sudden

I used to be able to recieve and send texts in Japanese (with ALL iphone users) with no problem, but all of a sudden, the texts I recieve in Japanese (probably from people with iphone 3's) are not showing up properly anymore (probably an encoding error). I thought it was weird because for one person, I was orignally able to send and recieve texts in Japanese with no problem at all before! And I know for sure that I have not made any changes in my language settings what-so-ever...
What could of happened that caused this change?? Would anyone know??

IPhone 3rd party apps won't launch anymore!

After updating the iPhone software to 3.1, a host of 3rd-party apps won't launch anymore (appear for 1 second, then revert back to the apps icons page).
I've tried upgrading to iTunes 9, uninstalling then reinstalling ALL apps on the iPhone via iTunes, hard rebooting my iPhone, restarting my iMac, etc etc, but nothing works.
On a iPhone 3Gs page on the Forums, I saw many others having similar difficulties and blaming it on the XX upgrade. One solution proposed there was to download a free app from the App Store and install it. Tried that, and it didn't work for me.
I hope Apple will give this attention, because it's basically disabled my iPhone's business-sensitive functionalities (like 1Password) on the eve of a 2week business trip ... and on business trips, I don't have my iMac with me! >:-(
In case it helps the OS is showing as 3.1 (7C144) on my device.

Hi!
I may have a solution to your problem. I updated to Firmware 3.1 today and couldn´t open any application i downloaded. I seems the updated version of iTunes handles apps a little different from before. When you connect your iPhone and it pops up in iTunes, right click on it to enter your configuration area (for the iPhone). At the top bar you have a row of options like music, pictures, podcast and somewhere in the middle you have the option "Programs". Click on that and you will see a list of all the programs you have downloaded in iTunes. Unfortunatly you have to recheck all the boxes at the left side of the program you want to be synched to your iPhone. Check these boxes and click "Apply" at the bottom right and iTunes will now transfer them to your iPhone. Easy breasy when you know how to do.
Best of luck, Cheers!
