Offline form in iPad DPS App that stores data and then sends when connected to internet

Hi there,
I've built an "app" using InDesign and DPS. Great, whiz bang 360 spins, video, etc, etc but at the end I would like to have a form to record the users experience on the ipad or to record their experience of an event where the iPad was used. I have created a form in Acrobat XI, exported to FormCentral as a trial, linked to the form using a web frame within InDesign and then exporting out with DPS. App works fine, can see form, enter data and submit, check data via FormCentral admin system, all good.
However, is it possible to create the same app that works identically offline? I know the whiz bang stuff will work as it's built into the standalone app. I guess the html form will need to be stored locally, when a user submits the form it needs to write to the iPad and store locally and if/when the iPad makes a connection to the internet it can send the stored local data upto FormCentral for processing. The form would be filled in by multiple users at different times.
From trawling the web I can see forms can write locally to the iPad but then I also see pages of code, my eyes glaze over and I run for the hills. I just wondered if there was an easy solution? If not, can this be raised as an item in the wishlist for both FormCentral/DPS/Indesign? A nice clicky interface for us "non-coding" designers.
Any help would be most appreciated,
Thanks,
Rog.

Hi Randy,
Thanks for coming back to me on this. Instead of a html form, can a pdf form embedded within a DPS app work?
I see that pdf forms can be filled in offline and data sent went back online but unsure as to whether this approach will work within a DPS app.
I saw a post you responded to

You mention an article to the offline form in more detail but I get a broken link.
Thanks again.

How do I create an iPad dps app that needs a password to enter?

I need to create an iPad dps app for a corporate client and they have asked the question if after download, we can have it password protected to enter?
If so how do I go about this? so the app has a log in page once loaded?

You'd need to create a custom HTML store/library and build that into the application, and have that page request the password. This is a DPS Enterprise feature, it isn't available in pro or single edition.

Need to have a form to enter data and then send data to database

I'm looking for assistance with a form created; the end user will complete the form and then press the submit button to email it. Next I need to import that data to either a database or excel spreadsheet.

Can you create a Adobe DPS app that use Web Services

I'm looking to create a DPS app that uses web services to pass data to and from a web server when the user has an internet connection, but when the user is offline stores data locally until an internet connection is established and then passes the locally stored data to the web server. Is this possible with DPS/

It's challenging but it's possible. Hint: local storage.

HT6154 I have an inportant app that stores all my passwords, etc... and it transfered to my new iphone 5 but I am unable to open it to view my stored information.

I have an important app that stores critital information that was transfered to my new apple 5c but I am unable to open the app from my new phone
I can still access it from both my old iphone and ipad but not the apple 5c

Ask the app developer how to transfer your data.

The App Store says I have 3 apps that need to be updated but when I go to update no apps show up

I have a similar problem and have had this before.
I rang Apple the first time and they said because I had 2 Apple ID's this can happen so I cancelled one Apple ID (which is another problem and drama in itself) and that resolved the issue.
I now have the problem again with only one Apple ID so I've transferring purchases from my iPhone and iPad to iTunes. Then I synced again and hoped for the best. Unlucky! Didn't work. Time to call Apple support again...

Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad

I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.

Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device.

When i go to the app store to update the one app that needs to be updated, the screen is blank. It used to list all the apps that need updating and have a button called update all. Now nothing. Just a blank screen.

There's been a problem with this all day. Seems to be a server problem - wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

How can I remove apps that I downloaded and removed from "purchased" at App Store?

Thanks Vic

You can't remove apps from the purchased list. It's impossible. You can hide them but not delete them from the purchased list.
Tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles then tap the X on the icon to delete it, tap the home button to stop apps from wiggling.

Hello,I have done this successful in the past but on my IPad it shows I have 4 apps that need to be updated so when I hit the update tab all I get is a white screen. When I hit the purchase or other tabs it opens up. What could be the problem?

There have been numerous reports on the forum today regarding this issue. It seems to be an issue at Apple, but no information has been posted on the status site.

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
 Cheers, Tom

I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..

I keep trying but i cant update the apps..

First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the phone by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

HT1430 I suddenly can.t access you tube via videos via my iPad . Tried via safari and you tube app on iPad but it says no videos and then ask me for you tube password . Never had to use a pass word

I suddenly can,t access you tube videos via my iPad. Tried safari and you tube app on iPad. I get no videos and then it asks for you tube password. Not had that before.

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks
