Retrieve app usage for other apps?

Hi everyone, I'm wondering what information is possible to get from other apps running in iOS7?
Is it possible to find out how much time has been spent in other apps on your device? Maybe just native apps?
I know there is the ability to find out how much data each app has used (thus the proliferation of data usage apps) but am looking for a way to track time spent in an app.
Also, you can do this with a jailbroken phone (AppTracker and AppCap). Wondering if there is a way to track this same kind of info in iOS7 without jailbraking.
If not, is there a list of what kinds of system information can be accessed by an app?
Thanks for your help!

I don't see how that would be possible if there isn't a published API for it. Apps run in their own sandbox. They are unaware of any other apps. If you want this feature, I suggest you file a bug report with Apple to ask for it. It seems like some useful data if you can guarantee (to Apple) that you wouldn't share the data with anyone other than the user.

I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps. When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage. Any thoughts?

I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists. I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems.
Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening. After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders. Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!". I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad. Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
Thank you

I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested. Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on. It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).

Take a look at the thread

It talks about getting security info, in particular Essbase security viewer. I did a search on the web and found this link to download it

Note, I have not tried the version in the link, but looked at security viewer in the past and it looked pretty good

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps.

The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band. When I try to update I get the following message: You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply. I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer. That's why I'm stumped. I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password. When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday. It didn't recognize it. I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...

Same apps free for other platforms but paid for Wi...

Recently purchased a Lumia 920, and quite satisfied so far. But I have observed that several apps/games which are free on other platforms like Android and iOS are actually not free for Windows Phone. For example, the entire Angry birds series is free for other platforms, but they're paid for Windows Phone. What is the reason behind this? And when Microsoft are trying hard to promote their Windows Phone OS, why are they so greedy that they charge for apps/games which are totally free on other platforms?

Contact the developer or MS on that one.Some games and apps would of been free for a time or there is opportunity's when these go free for a certain period.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

My iMac restored. how do I retrieve Apps allready downloaded and paid for?

iMac, processor speed 2.7GHz, memory 16 GB, capacity, 999.35 Gb
iMac bought by my son less than 2 years ago. Gifted to me after he retored iMac to factory settings. He had downloaded 2 Apps, Pages and Numbers, they are not on the machine now. I updated OS to Yosemite. Can I retrieve apps without further payment.

Legally he bought the apps. So you'll have to buy them yourself.
However, one of the new features in Yosemite is the Family Share. So he should be able to "invite" you into his Family Share plan and then you'll be able to see the purchases and download/install them. But I honestly don't know if this will work on past purchase or not. It's worth a try though.

How do I distribute the apps I buy on the cloud for other users.

How do I distribute the apps I buy on the cloud for other users?

Hi mlabomb1,
You will not be able to distribute the apps, if you have bought Creative cloud on 1 e-mail address then the owner of that ID will be able to use all the apps on his machine.
If you want 4-5 users to use different application then have them buy separate Creative cloud on their respective Adobe ID's. If they have already bought it then ask them to sign in to https://creative.adobe.com/products and start downloading apps.
Thanks!
