Printing from iPad - Why do I need third party app to print to a local network printer??

Why do I need to pay for a third party app to print to ALL local network printer?? I understand that only some printers are compatable with iPads, but yet application like "iCanPrint" allow me to print just fine to a printer connected to my network. Why can't Apple include this as one of its features? Technology is apparently there?

For that, and the many other apps to work, you need to be running a pc or Mac on the network. The answer is drivers. Every printer in the world needs a driver. There simply is not enough space on a pad to load every possible printer driver that might be in play. in the pc world, the operating system comes preloaded with hundreds of common drivers, and when you buy and install a new printer, you download the new drivers for that new printer.
That all just will not work on a pad or phone. So apple flipped the issue upside down, and said...'here is the printer driver we will make standard for its devices. We call it AirPrint. Include this in your printer'. A lot of manufacturers have, and more printers are enabled each month.
So your choice is pretty basic. You can buy an AirPrint enabled printer and print directly to it, or buy a non AirPrint printer, or use the one you have, and rely on your pc to act as the translation device to manage the print job.

Formatting music from windows to a mac using third party app

i used a third party app so that i could download music from a pc onto my os x formatted ipod. initially it worked when i moved the music into my itunes library on my mac, but for some reason now a lot of the tracks won't play and my computer freezes if i press play on any track that originally was downloaded onto a pc. is there a way to identify where the songs came from and then delete then from the library without going through each one a seeing if it will play and then having to force quit itunes because it freezes?

From what I know, windows will not recognize the complicated data of a mac formatted device; hence not recognizing it. Macs can recognize a windows formated ipod though, so if you decide to reformat it on windows, then you can use it on both computers. If you dont though, looks like you are out of luck, sorry.
Hope I helped.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Ipad "other space" from a third party app

i have downloaded a third party app (torrent) but to no avail it doesn't play the movie that i have downloaded, even worse it took up "other" space when I tried opening it on VLC and File Manager but when i browsed on SETTINGS>General>Usage it did not use the memory for VLC and File Manager, I deleted the third party app but the other space remains, is there any way to free that space without doing a reset 'cause I haven't done any backups (itunes and icloud) or sync since i got my ipad.

A third party app keeps showing in my podcast app even after restoring as a new phone. Why?

A third party app that I've used for a long time through iTunes to download a specific podcast not available through the iTunes store has gotten a bit messed up. I've used this for 3+ years with no problem. Lately though the name of the podcast will show up as an empty folder even though I've downloaded and synced it up. The episodes may stay for about 24 hours but then the app disappears from inside of iTunes and all the episodes are deleted. I've removed the app, reinstalled it, etc., and the same thing happens. I restored the phone from a back up, same problem. I even set the phone up as new and this same empty folder was on the iPhone immediately. That I don't understand...how is that even possible?
I'm not sure why wiping the phone and setting up as new made the folder appear. Not sure what role, if any, iCloud plays in seeing this sort of app?
Thanks.

I solved this through a combo of reinstalling the app and removing it but the real kicker is to make sure to go into the iPhone if you have any phantom podcasts and go to settings/general/usage/manage storage and see what is there for podcasts. Delete it from this location to start over. I found this file was larger than justified compared to what was in the podcast folder. Somehow this had gotten corrupted.
I'm sharing in case others need a solution. Of course, the one respondent on here already knew this info so this is for all the other folks out there.

IPad photo issues with third party apps

Up until recently I've had no problem with the issue I'm about to describe.
When I download my raw format photos from my camera using the SD card reader I cannot view full photos in any third party apps such as the Photoshop app or any other I've tried. I just get a small thumbnail version, very low res. I can view them fine in the iPad photos app. If I sync my iPad with my computer and put the photos back into the iPad with iTunes they work fine with all my third party photo apps. Any suggestions?

This appears to be a problem that cropped up with iOS 4. Prior to iOS 4, when a third party app would allow a user to browse to a RAW photo, the app would get a jpeg representation that was generally of high resolution.
As of iOS 4, when third party apps get an image from these RAW images through the Photo Library the image that is retuned is of a very low (thumbnail) resolution. In our testing this appears to be limited to RAW images from Nikon cameras. When you sync your iPad the RAW photos are processed and then resync'd as jpegs on your iPad. You'll find these photos will now show up at the expected resolution once they go through the syncing process.
We reported the bug to Apple and have not had any luck in getting any assistance for a work around through Developer Technical Support. They have explained that the iOS always grabs the jpeg preview from a RAW photo's data. Presumably if the particular RAW format does not include a jpeg preview you'd get nothing, but we do not have the data to indicate if there are any formats out there that don't store a jpeg preview as well as the RAW data.
You will find that a couple of third party apps have found some work-around to the issue. To date our only idea has been to access the RAW image directly and parse it for the jpeg preview ourselves. We are hoping the issue is resolved in the next version of the iOS, but don't have any information yet to indicate that it will or will not be.
Good Luck!

Why do we need cygwin for Apps R12 on windows ?

Hi,
Can someone throw some light on
---Why do we need cygwin for Apps R12 on windows ?
Which kind of activites need cygwin for R12 Apps.
-sasi

Hi Sasi;
You need to use mkstoolkit or cywgwin to work EBS on windows coz of to can run some perl and also can use some command as kill, ps, ls etc..Apps tier also need that program can compile something inside.
Please see:
The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Microsoft Windows. They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the POSIX system calls and environment these programs expect.
With these tools installed, it is possible to write Windows console or GUI applications that make use of significant parts of the POSIX API. As a result, it is possible to easily port many Unix programs without the need for extensive changes to the source code. This includes configuring and building most of the available GNU software (including the packages included with the Cygwin development tools themselves) as well as lots of BSD tools and packages (including OpenSSH). Even if the development tools are of little to no use to you, you may have interest in the many standard POSIX utilities provided with the package. They can be used from one of the provided Unix shells like bash, tcsh or zsh, as well as from the standard Windows command shell if you have to for some sad reason.

Third-party apps crash on launch: iPad 1 iOS 4.3.5

I just started experiencing this problem today. I was at meeting taking notes using Evernote, and put my iPad 1 to sleep. An hour later, I tried retrieving my notes, and the app would being to open, but then suddenly closed. It continue to do this, even after I reset the iPad three times. I tried other third-party apps like Skype and Yelp and they also crashed on opening. The Apple apps work fine, like Safari, that's how I'm writing this note.
Other than resetting the iPad to factory settings, what else can I do?

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that seems to reset something) and then re-try your apps - the free app can then be deleted

Third party apps to upload files from ios devices?

Suppose you have a resume saved on your ipad or iPhone. You go to apply to a job online. The company website wants you to upload a resume. Upon selecting the upload button you only have the option of uploading pictures or videos. Is there a third party app that allows the ipad to be turned into a disk drive. I can do this on my Android devices. I am considering switching back to apple and need to know if I can do this crucial procedure. Please advise.

Alfred DeRose wrote:
No, iOS does not provide a way to upload anything uther than pictures and video. There is no user accessible file system on iOS and therefore no apps that will be able to do what you are asking.
Actually that is completely worng. There Are Apps that let you do this.
For uploads to websites you'll need to use a 3rd party browser than can store your files with in its file area.
iCab Mobile is suggested here often.

This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact

I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together. Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
One thing I found last week and meant to mention: After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

You find third-party apps in the App Store. What app are you looking for? Due to problems, Apple removed the ability to record that information in Health. You can always go back to whatever you used before three weeks Health was released. Why can you not check and record your blood glucose? I would assume you check it using blood samples and a glucose meter which has nothing to do with your phone. You should be able to record it in any number of apps, from Notes to purpose made third-party apps.

Can't update Adobe AIR after Yosemite update and need it for a third-party app.

I updated to Yosemite and had some issues. After receiving help from Apple, I could not open a third-party app; it said I needed to update Adobe AIR. When I tried to do that, I got the same message saying I needed to update AIR again. I tried uninstalling and installing AIR but without success. What steps do I need to take?

I had a similar problem when trying to install Zinio.air. I have made it all work out. What i did was remove Adobe Air 15 entirely from the Utiliites and Library/ accounts and preferences. I then downloaded Adobe Air 13 and installed and then clicked on Zinio .air and it all installed ok. I also had to temporarily change security settings from Apple approved to Anywhere. All functioning now.
