Monitor Safari for iPhone browsing from iMac?

Don't know much about iCloud or if this is even an option. Wondering if there is a way to monitor web browsing (i.e. what sites are visited) on Safari for iPhone on my iMac using a combination of Parental Controls and iCloud somehow. Is iCloud solely for syncing other types of content? Is there an option to disable the 'Clear History' function on Safari for iPhone? Never seen it....worth asking.
I know how to disable Safar for iPhone in the restrictions. Trying to avoid that if at all possible. Just want accountable usage of Safari for iPhone without having to disable it and download some other browsing app that will not match Safari's superb mobile browsing experience.

Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

James,
Thanks for your response. The image was on a site I maintain. I have already replaced the image with a jpg, which works fine. I believe I can duplicate the problem, if you think it is worth it. Gimme a few...
http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about2.html is the page with the png I restored to use.
http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about.html is the page with the replacement jpg
Just checked. The png still does not display on iPhone(5) or iPad(3). The image was also made by me in pixelmator and both (png and jpg) were exprted from pixelmator.
thanks again,
Tim

Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage

Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage
First:
iCloud sync is a great battery consumer
1** iCloud: turn off mail, safari and reminders. Only keep contacts, notes, photo stream and documents data
2** Use cellular data for iCloud documents and reading list only.
3** Notes to save on iPhone, not on iCloud.
4* Avoid downloading new Apps or updates if not on power. It's better to download all updates on a computer and synchronise to update them.
5* Avoid looking at videos on line if not on power.
6* Games consume a lot
Second: if not enough
7* Brightness to bring on top of the letter "t" of Brightness. Sometimes the brightness goes automatically to 75%, too high. Put it back.
8* In mail, fetch new data, advanced, check that all accounts are fetch manual
Third: Additional Optional tips
9* Wifi ask to join networks off
10* Bluetooth off when no need, turn off WiFi if in an area with no WiFi, avoid Personal Hotspot: great battery consumer.
11* Turn off iPhone manually. Don't wait for iPhone to turn it off.
12* Let the battery exhaust totally until it turns off before to recharge it.
13 Kill The Apps unused from time to time, in case one application uses too much in back ground
14 The Reset All Settings solves nothing. It just creates problems to rekey in everything.

Just a followup:
To summarize: I upgraded to an iPhone 5 a few days ago and the first thing I did was restore from my iPhone 4 iCloud backup. After that I was experiencing the things some people here complain of: running hot and battery draining quickly.
But I then reset as a new iPhone and synced in all my apps, music, photos, etc. from iTunes and now it is running cool - even after using it continually for 90 minutes or 2 hours and the battery drain is acceptably within specs.
This screen shows
Usage: 4 Hours, 0 Minutes
Standby: 19 Hours, 28 Minutes
Battery at 44%.
That would "multiply out" to
Usage: 7 Hours, 14 Minutes
Standby: over 34 hours
when the battery is fully used up.
I believe that is pretty reasonable and within specs.
I will try an experiment after my next full charge of turning off cellular data though (except when absolutely needed) for comparison.
I'm not saying some people aren't having some power-draining issue due to their carrier. But even without 5 bars standing the issue for me seemed to have been the attempt to restore from my iPhone 4's iCloud backup instead of installing as a new iPhone and syncing.

Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?

Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?
I would have expected this cost to decrease not increase with the announcement of the new iPhones yesterday.

I think they must have increased it recently because I was told $269 to replace my iPhone 5 on 9/13/13. I don't know how iPhone 5 replacements are going to work out now that they won't be carrying them anymore.

Visit normal, non mobile websites on Safari for iPhone?

I just recently got an iphone and I really like it so far, but when I visit espn's website I get forced to their mobile site which is not what I want. Is there a way to change the settings on Safari to load webpages normally?
Thanks

When using Safari on iPhone, it is usally the website that decides whether to push a mobile version of a site. When a web developer such as the ones who wrote the website for ESPN, they have the ability to tell which browser you are using when you access the site.
So, that being said, there is no way to force safari to pull the normal page, that would be up to the developer of the webpage. That being said, I took a trip on over to the ESPN webpage on my iPhone. It looks like if you scroll all the way to the bottom you can click on the ESPN.com link and it will take you away from the mobile page, and give you the full content page you would normally see on your computer.

Delete iPhone emails from iMac. & email read receipts.

Question 1:
I have three e-mail accounts:
@btinternet.com
@me.com
@royalherbert.co.uk (pop.1and1.co.uk)eceiving
I am happy receiving incoming emails to my iMail account on both my iMac and my iPhone 4S.
What is really annoying is having to delete emails from both units individually.
Am I missing a way that I can delete emails on my computer so that it syncs with my iPhone to automaticly delete the emails rather than having to do it twice?
Question 2:
I used to be happy with microsofts facility to request 'read mail receipts'.
Can this be done on iMail as and when required without the need to set up a rule that applies to all emails?

Thank you Winston Churchill,
Yes, I have migrated my @.me account to iCloud, but it's the other two accounts I use all the time.
The @.me account seems to be something that almost set itself up once I switched to Apple.
I do use it for sending emails from my iPhone 4S, but thats about all.
I will enquire if my servers BT and 1and1 can offer me an IMAP alternative if you think this will solve the problem.
The 'Read Mail Receipt' I mentioned is a very useful Microsoft Outlook facilitiy whereby I could request my individual outgoing emails to send me a report when the email had been received and opened.
Looking at iMail, it seems I can set this up as a 'rule', but it will action this for every single email I send, and I don't want that.
Once again, thanks for your help

Safari for iPhone

I have installed safari on my iphone, A have also add the app PDF Printer to Safari, and also written article on my website about this app. But I am unable to save my website page as PDF. My website is http://www.howto-connect.com

I think you are a bit confused.
You cannot install Safari on iPhone, it came pre-installed with the IOS.
Use you computer Safari browser and save it as PDF file.

How do i get a software update for iphone 3g from 4.1 to 5.1

How do I update my iphone 3g from the version 4.1 to 5.1 from my phone?

kayla capen wrote:
I am so sorry to say " some lady".
But we were hoping with this being my first phone , (but a handme down), that we could do what the AT&T salesperson said to do , and that was save all my information then wipe out the phone and download the new 5.1 software to my (it is confirmed ) 3G phone which currently has 4.1 on it and is not permitting me to download the new itunes to my phone.
Again, you CANNOT get ios 5 at all. Cannot do it. No ios 5.
What information do you want to save?
Your iphone can ONLY go to 4.2.1. NOT 5.1. Again. NO ios 5.1. ONLY 4.2.1

ICloud storage issue; Restoring iPhone calendar from iMac after accidental iCloud deletion

I set up iCloud to back up calendars and contacts and for find my phone. Initially, it seemed to work alright. Then I got messages on iPhone that there wasn't enough iCloud storage, even though the storage tab showed that I had used none of my iCloud storage at all. So I turned off iCloud/contacts. In iTunes I switched back from iCloud backup to backup from my iMac.
Later I got the same message about not enough room in iCloud even though only calendars involved. So I truned off iCloud/calendar on my iPhone and was given the choice of keeping the calendars from the iCloud or deleting them (a foolish choice without a failsafe!!!). I clumsily and mistakenly hit delete. My calendars have most recently been synced with my new iMac and appear on the iMac and should also be in TM. But right now there is no data in my iPhone calendar.
When i go to calendars within the iiphone calendar there is a check next to Calender under "from MY Mac" and no reference to iCloud. (There are no separate calendars for me, my wife, and joint. Does this mean somehow these calendars have been merged because of iCloud?)
I don't want to do another sync until I can make sure that the sync with the iMac will resotre the calendar(s) to the iPnone. How do I do this?
Do I have to do anything on the iMac before I try a sync?
How do I avoid these problems in the future? The only thing I really would like from iCloud is "find my phone". How do I keep that capability without backing up or su=yncing otherwise anything through iCloud?
Is iCloud still Beta?

Apple walked me through this and helped me revert to backing up on my iMac, using iCloud only for find my iPhone and iMac. The process, however, is not straightforward and what the respective mac and iPhone support people (yes, they have that kind of specialization) led me through was clearer, if somewhat convoluted, than any instructions on Apple's support or community pages.
Since my main concern was not losing my calendar and contacts information, the key was saving that, via export, to my desktop. Sorry I didn't write down all the other steps - but I see that as Apple's job. Back in the days of the IIC, Apple's manual was a model of clarity and completeness at the same time.
Bottom line is while my immediate concerns were resolved, the underlying iCloud storage issue was not. On my iPhone, I was being told that my attempts to backup to the iCloud failed because I didn't have enough storage, even though I determined almost none of my alloted space was used. This issue is not helped by the multiplicity of settings relating to iCloud, or the interfaces (such as the iCloud on the iMac through Mavericks) which present a screen of icons without additional information.
For my purposes, iCloud remains Beta.

Where to download Safari for Iphone?

For some reason my Iphone doesn't have Safari!!!
Where can I download it, I've looked everywhere.
Really sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm pulling out my hair!!!
Thx in advance

Maybe you have hid the icon.
In settings you can restore the default icons.
From the manual Page 149
Resetting iPhone
Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information, such as your contacts and calendars, and media, such as your songs and videos, aren’t deleted.
Erase all content and settings: Connect iPhone to your computer or a power adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
This resets all settings to their defaults and erases all your information and media:
• On iPhone 3GS: by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)
• On iPhone and iPhone 3G: by overwriting the data
Important: You can’t use iPhone while data is being overwritten. This can take up to two hours or more, depending on the model and storage capacity of your iPhone.
(On iPhone 3GS, the removal of the encryption key is immediate.)
Reset network settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings are left turned on.
To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, choose Settings > General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove.
Reset the keyboard dictionary: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
You add words to the keyboard dictionary by rejecting words iPhone suggests as you type. Tap a word to reject the correction and add the word to the keyboard dictionary. Resetting the keyboard dictionary erases all words you’ve added.
Reset the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
Reset the location warnings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Location Warnings.
Or you can search the phone for Safari and see if it shows up.
From the manual Page 37
Searching
You can search many applications on iPhone, including Mail, Calendar, iPod, Notes, and Contacts. You can search an individual application, or search all the applications at once using Spotlight.
Go to Spotlight: From the main page of the Home screen, flick left to right.
If you’re on the main Home screen page, you can press the Home button to go to Spotlight. From the Spotlight page, press the Home button to return to the main Home screen page. You can also set iPhone to go to Spotlight when you double-click the Home button. See “Home” on page 147.
Search iPhone: On the Spotlight page, enter text in the Search field. Search results appear automatically as you type. Tap Search to dismiss the keyboard and see more of the results.
Icons to the left of the search results let you know which application the results are from. Tap an item in the results list to open it.
Application
What’s searched
Contacts
First, last, and company names
Mail
To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the text of messages isn’t searched)
Calendar
Event titles, invitees, and locations (notes aren’t searched)
iPod
Music (names of songs, artists, and albums) and the titles of podcasts, video, and audiobooks
Notes
Text of notes
Spotlight also searches the names of the native and installed applications on iPhone, so if you have a lot of applications you may want to use Spotlight as a way to locate and open applications.
Open applications from Spotlight: Enter the application name, then tap to open the application directly from the search results.
Use the Search Results settings to choose which applications are searched and the order in which they’re searched. See “Home” on page 147.
I do not think you can delete the programs that come from the factory.

What are the settings for iPhone, iPad and iMac to sync ical and contacts?

How can I get all three items to sync? What are the settings on the iMac with Lion on board? I put all my stuff on iphone but iMac & iPad do not have the items synced even though I have everything on icloud?

They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.
