Loking for a fun app

Not sure how to explain, something in the lines of social networking but not facebook or twitter. Something where you can read entries or look at photos from people around the world, maybe stuff like that. Any ideas?

Have you tried Ping in iTunes?

No, you will need something more advanced, like Photoshop.

Is Java the best for creating business apps?

Hello everyone, I'm new to this. I programmed a bit in VB6 (lame to macho-coders... I know), and I really enjoyed it. Well I havent touched it for years and I havent even bothered trying to remember what I knew after finding out its all gone with .Net.
So I'm employed at a new firm and I'd like to get back the old app building skills I had and more.
I did alot of research on languages and decided that Java was my pick, but I'd like confirmation from someone who knows.
FYI, I only created very simple apps with VB6 a few years ago.. I do not plan to start programming as a career.
I just remember enjoying it immensely and have done side projects in the past for friends and business associates.. but I never got high powered.
I'd like to get deep into a language.
Did I make the right decision between C#/VB.net and Java? Try to be as unbiased as possible, as I realize this is a Java forum.
I chose after reading mainly these links:
http://www.csharpsoft.com/css/article.php?sid=9
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/faq/why_cs.asp
http://www.aspnetpro.com/Opinion/2002/04/asp200204pl_o/asp200204pl_o.asp
http://www.course.com/techtrends/java_0899.cfm (this one was especially convincing for me)

The just I got from most sources was: pick the language based on what you Want to Do.
I want to create business apps, not necessarily cross-platform able ones. 98% of the time my apps will be used on Windows platforms anyway. And the performance boost from MS languages is enticing.
Plus I've read from a few sources that Java is NOT cross platform interopertable.
My main reason for posting is that I'm double guessing my Java inclinations.. because I'm having trouble finding tutorials for "guys like me".
I'd like to know exactly what the heck Swing is, I mean... I got THIS,
"The javax.swing package of classes is used to create GUI components for applets and applications. Project Swing classes enable programmers to specify a different look and feel for each platform, or a uniform look across all platforms. Swing is the project code name for the lightweight GUI components in JFC."
But I have been doubting my decision enough to not download and start playing with whatever the heck Swing is.
Also, AWT looks important but I do not quite grasp how that comes into play either.
Basically I have the latest Java and Netbeans downloaded... is this all I need besides to find a great tutorial (that holds my hand) to get started? Does this Java/Netbeans package have Swing and AWT included inside them?
Or should I stick with VB and go back to VB.Net to create my easy "crankem out" apps?
I have a sinking feeling that would be best for a non-career programmer hobbiest like myself..
Originally I figured Java would teach me a much more popular terse based syntax that would be much better to know if I ever did move on....
Thanks for reading.

THANK YOU to everyone that has replied this far. As you might have been able to tell from my disoriented post.. I have alot of questions and some questions I'm not exactly sure how to ask.
To define business applications- I was referring to these two ideas that SteveW2 coined: "Applications that front end a database? Multi user thin client apps? "
Mostly front end to a database and thin client apps.
Also, I should add my employer does have a full MSDN subscription so I do have access to everything at MSDN.
We have Visual Studio .Net 2003 at work as well. My company mostly programs in "MS" languages FYI.
I hope it was quite clear that I'm no zealot on brand. I'm a complete capitalist (hence the name), and have always been, "best of breed". So I have absolutely no language preference.
For general info, I am the network admin at my place of business and also do sales with small to mid-sized businesses.. but my degree is in local area network technology.
My interest in beginning programming again stems just for my personal interest... someday I DO plan to start my own business but not for quite some time. So programming is just something I used to enjoy to a small extent.
To be precise, I was only exposed to VB6. None before, none after. I created fun apps like a calculator, a simple database program, a program that half-heartedly 'locked' you out of a Win95/98 workstation without the password... things like that. And for now and the foreseeable future, thats an idea of the extent I wish to take this new venture.
I found it very simple and easy... good things as long as its still powerful... and it appears DotNet has equalized the languages (J#/C#/C++/C/VB) to a large extent. Please feel free to elaborate on why I'm correct or not correct on this analysis.
To address my "98%" statement, I meant in the foreseeable future everything I would ever create will be on ran on a Win32 system. But I do play around with Linux and wouldnt scoff at the idea of interoperability..
Being locked into MS platforms doesnt bother me either. So you probably have a feel for my neutrality.
I never realized how some people feel very strongly about languages (referring to most of the web, the responses here seem to be very fair considering I'm at Sun's site itself)!
I'm definitely more confused than ever now with the conflicting opinions.
But providing exactly WHAT I want to do with the language, will help.
I provided an example of some of the things I've done, and plan to do.. but there is one thing I've been wanting to create for years that will probably give you the best idea for my ambitions.
I'd like to create a family genealogy app, that allows me to integrate my GEDCOM files (the standard for family history files) into, integrate easy to view family photos/stories/videos... I'd like to put this program on a CD and distribute it at the family christmas some year.
Whatever language would be the best for this? Keep in mind even though I dont have strong feelings about having interoperability or not... that my time that I'm going to be investing in language "X", I DO feel it important that I learn good coding practice.
Something I always doubted about the extremely easy, and lax, VB6.
Thanks again for reading and taking the time to reply.

But WHERE is the fun interesting software for my PC? (games, apps, productivity- etc) - please don't tell me to go to updates because I have done that, that is not what I am looking for.

What are some really fun apps and games to download?

I need some suggestions for something fun in the app store for my family. Maybe some cool apps.

My kids really like Zentomino..it's a puzzle that requires you to connect various shapes..another one I just downloaded last night and found fun is Math Genius.

Hi - I have a new tool to create a tactile experience for touch screen users. Great for early educational apps. Any idea of how to get it exposure?

Hi - I created new tool to create a tactile experience for touch screen users. Created it for son with auditory processing problems and dyslexia. Great for early educational apps. or just for fun. Any idea of how to get it exposure? Thanks for you help!

Hire a marketer, perhaps? Put it up on Amazon? Only not here, that would be in direct violation of the term of use.

How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
The same for my daughter and for me.
Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
Thanks a lot
Acwills

You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

Looking for a remote app

I am looking for a remote app for my windows computer at work so I can control my music. I have Remote from my mac to use with iTunes at home and thats great. But now I was wondering do they have anything like that for windows I use windows media player. Thanks so much

Correction from my last message-
Are you looking for a way to control the music from your PC to Mac as in remote desktop, or are you looking for a way to access (play, delete, share) your music?
If its the first choice, see my last post.
If its the second choice, you can turn on Home Sharing in iTunes.
Go to Advanced>Turn on Home Sharing
You'll have to login with an Apple ID, and do the same thing on your other computers.

OneDrive for Business sync app when using Office 2010

Hi,
My clients use Office 2010. They all have SharePoint Workspace installed as well, thought, they don't use it.
As part of new SharePoint 2013 on-premise roll-out, I have to find a method to silently install OneDrive for Business into clients machines, without disruption to the use of Office 2010. They will use OneDrive for business to sync their team sites libraries
and their personal site library.
So far, I have no success.
What I tried:
-Standalone OneDrive Pro client exe Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR_.exe
It seems there is no way to run it silently anyway. Is there?
basically, this package still connects to the internet to download modules and it prompts user for some interaction while installing. I NEED IT SILENT.
-Building OCT package out of Office 2013 installation media. I selected to only install Groove(OneDrive) and leave existing Office product intact. Then I run it from setup.exe /adminfile //location/onlygroove.MSP
It provisions SkyDrive Pro client (note the name, I used Office 2013 without SP1 media)
Problems with that:
1.After installing Office 2013 SP1, client name is still SkyDrive Pro 2013, but sync folder actually changed, some other user interface places are also updated
2.After silent run, Office 2010 experience problems: Outlook 2010 crushes on start 3 times, then it attempts to run repair, Repair will fix outlook, but it also sets SharePoint workspace as a default client for sync. Running Office 2013 repair will break
Outlook again. The solution is to uninstall SharePoint workspace, then run Office 2013 repair, then Office 2010 repair again - this way I have SkyDrive Pro as a sync app and Outlook 2010 working.
As you see, I have problems with having seamless silent OneDrive for Business sync app installation. Even asking clients to install it manually would be too hard for them. Annoying thing is that if you click the exe file to run, it takes about 2 minutes
before user sees anything happening on a screen. I can see users getting confused if they actually initiated a process of not!
What am I missing ?
Any other way to provision it in bulk to my users? Any help appreciated.

I think we're all waiting on Microsoft to (quickly) address this. Its unacceptable.
It is seriously unacceptable, and I am having the same problems. Even running tests locally and I am a domain admin, I come across admin permission errors. I have tried amending the config file and creating a new one (onedrive_download.xml), creating a new
folder as a temp test and running the OneDrive for Business pack (extracted). These are the errors I get (on my own admin PC).

How to use OneDrive for Business mobile app with SharePoint 2013 on-premise?

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 (with latest December updates) that host a dedicated personal web site for users.
The OneDrive portal works fine and users are able to sync their files with the OneDrive client for Windows.
Now I want to test the OneDrive for Business mobile app on Android, but there is no option to specify the "personal" portal URL.
It asks only for domain credentials.
Does I need to configure specific records on my public DNS to allow mobile users to sync their files?
Thanks

I can confirm that with iOS you can connect to your SharePoint server through the advanced options.
But the very strange thing is that the OneDrive version for Windows Phone 8.1 is limited as the Android version.
This has no sense.
Why does Microsoft should limit the Business functions on its mobile operating system, and not on iOS?
Another strange thing is that configuring my Exchange account, Windows Phone 8.1 informed me that it has connected OneDrive for business (but is a fake information).
See attached image.
If I open the built-in OneDrive app, it give me the option to add a OneDrive for business account, but is only for Office 365 users (like with the Android version).
I thing that Microsoft should let at least to Windows Phone users to connect to on-premise SharePoint sites.

For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.
