Separate 'itunes' / 'iOS launch screen' names for apps?

I've noticed many apps I have display one name in itunes and a different name in the iOS launch screen. I wish to do this for my app because my app name is too long and gets truncated in an ugly way. So there is the <name> tag which seems to apply the name to both. Is there a separate tag for just the iOS launch screen name?
Thanks

Hi jayxtee
I've no idea why this happens, or how to fix it, but I did find a couple of workarounds which I've detailed in a blog post here: iTunes 11 and 12 Not Updating iDevice Apps Automatically. There are not the most elegant of solutions, but I hope they help a bit...

I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

Can you use the itunes gift card to pay for apps, too? I can only seem to make it work for movies, music, and shows. Do I need an apple gift card to get the apps? Thanks!

You're gonna have to restore the iPhone from your last backup with iTunes. You did do a backup before you attempted to update the software didn't you?

Hi Dev,
It is not a onetime thing and the following article should assist you if you would like to change the name after publishing
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh694077.aspx
The heading you are looking for is “To rename an app that has already been published”
This article also provides some supplemental information for you on the same subject -

IOS launch screen / splash screen shift

Hi All,
I've implemented launch screen images, including [email protected], and am testing on an iPhone 4.
When I disable my splash screen (i.e. I don't set the app's splashScreenImage prop) the launch image displays briefly, then I get a blank white screen for multiple seconds while my app loads.
If I enable the splash screen, like this...
splashScreenImage = "@Embed('[email protected]')"
the app displays the image continuously, first as iPhone launch screen, then as AIR splash screen, but when it switches from launch screen to splash screen the image is displayed about 19 pixels lower than it was when displayed as launch screen.
This happens with splashScreenScaleMode set to both "stretch" and "zoom".
I can provide two different images, instead of using the same image, and make most of the shift invisible to the user, but there are two problems with this approach:
It's obviously kludgy. It would be nice if this just worked.
I'm fairly sure that even if I get this to look good on iPhone 4, it will look bad on iPhone 5, and vice-versa. If we could use different splash screen images for 4 and 5 we could kludge a fix that way, but I don't believe that that's possible.
Two questions:
Any suggestions?
Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks,
Douglas

Hi Colin,
> Might be worth doing a trace of the scale mode, just out of curiosity.
I've done some googling and set a few breakpoints - all indicate that Flex apps have a default scale mode of NO_SCALE.
If I could configure my app to use SHOW_ALL immediately at startup, that might solve the spash screen problem. I could then change the mode back to NO_SCALE in my app's preInitialize handler, which I'd probably want to do as SHOW_ALL would probably be problematic when the app started to display.
That would be an interesting experiment, but I don't see any way to configure a Flex app to begin with any scale mode other than the default, so I'm at a dead end there.
I don't fully understand what you're suggesting re using a SWC. Looks like we're running up against the Flex-nonFlex divide.
> I don't know how Flex users solve the problem of getting the stage to be in a particular state right away.
We let the framework handle this for us, and don't think about it, which is great, until it isn't.
Or, to put it another way, I think that we may not have much control over this in a Flex app.
I'm imagining a possible strategy of creating a non-Flex AIR app and having it load my Flex SWF, but I'm not sure it's a good investment of my time to research/attempt this. For one thing I'm not _sure_ that I'll have a problem on iPhone 5. I'll find some way to test this, and postpone worrying about this until I'm sure that I actually have a problem.
But thanks a lot for all your input - this(scale mode, etc) is good stuff to be aware of.

Multi playlist's on different screen names for XP

Right now we have four different play libraries in four different screen names. What I would like to do is consolidate all the libraries into one big library. Is there any way we can do this?

Our OS is windows XP...Please help before I go broke!!!! Thanks.

You can keep the separate libraries for ease of syncing, but share music among them.

Want to change account name for App Store

I have changed the iTune store account name and want to update for App Store, so that I can updates applications. How to change the account name on the App Store? I changed in the Setting but it doesn't affect in the App Store. Thanks for your help.

I think you need to login to a different iTunes account from within iTunes, then sync your iPhone/iPod Touch. It should then have your other store account as the default.

Error "no valid screen name" for FM DYNP_VALUES_READ

Hi PM Experts and ABAPers,
I have a requirement to fetch Operation tab details dynamically while creating a order through IW31 transaction.
I have tried using Function module DYNP_VALUES_READ to fetch the screen field values dynamically to read the Work centre field value from operations tab.
Please look at the code i have used.
DATA: gv_program_name TYPE D020S-PROG VALUE 'SAPLCOIH',
             gv_screen_no    TYPE D020S-DNUM VALUE '3010',
             gs_dynpread     TYPE DYNPREAD,
             gt_dynpread     TYPE TABLE OF DYNPREAD.
clear gs_dynpread.
gs_dynpread-fieldname = 'AFVGD-ARBPL'.
APPEND gs_dynpread TO gt_dynpread.
   CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'
     EXPORTING
       DYNAME                               = gv_program_name
       DYNUMB                               = gv_screen_no
     TABLES
       DYNPFIELDS                           = gt_dynpread
- The function module has returned a dump with error 'No valid screen name'.
Can anyone help me in reading the work centre ( ARBPL) value directly from screen.
Thanks in advance,
Sreenivas

Hi Sreenivas,
Kindly check whether field-symbol is assigned before using for preventing the run-time error.
ASSIGN('(MP000800)TBLGART[]')TO<tblgart>.
"Check Whether the field-symbol value is assigned or not
IF <tblgart> IS ASSIGNED.
CREATE DATA obj_tbl LIKE LINE OF <tblgart>.
ASSIGN obj_tbl->* TO <wa_tblgart>.
ENDIF.
In CREATE DATA statement we are assigning the structure, if you know the structure name, it is better use TYPE statement instead of LIKE statement as shown below.
CREATE DATA obj_tbl TYPE STRUCTURE_NAME.

HT1311 Changed my apple ID for iTunes, but did not work for app updates.

I followed the directions on my phone and successfully changed my apple ID for iTunes. But when I to update apps, the old ID still shows. How can I change my Apple ID so I can update my existing apps?

Correct! The apps I had previously were downloaded using my husband's apple ID. We are now separated, and I would like to download updates under my OWN apple ID. I followed the instructions for changing my AppleID on my phone, and it works with iTunes downloads. Yet the old AppleID continues to show up for App updates/downloads. Can I change the apple ID for App updates? Or must I delete all the apps on my phone that were downloaded under HIS apple ID and then redownload them under my own ID?

IChat screen name for .Mac member

My family are all .Mac members and have accounts. We are a little hesitant to do AIM services through AOL (hate to provide information) and would prefer to use iChat with our .Mac accounts. I can't figure out if it is possible to use an alias, just for iChat purposes, to avoid using an email address or any of my regular .Mac names. Can one use a screen name in iChat, through .Mac. If so, how does one create it.
Both my daughter and I have tried using different nicknames, but our .mac email addresses still show up in the iChat windows. Is this only to .Mac members, or to everyone?

Hi
The one I look at does not ask all that.
Post code/Zip Code and email address and a "Security Question" of your Choice.
How do you expect then to know it is really you if they don't ask ?

[iTunes/iOS] 12 days of Christmas App for the Mac users?

Hai,
I'm a little bit confused right now, so maybe you guys/girls could help me out.
I have an iPod 2nd gen, past year I could download the 12 days of christmas app for my iPod, but now I can't anymore, that's a pity! - Apple, everyone is a user for your products, everyone has paid. Please fix this.
But, for those who haven't a iPod or iPhone, they could download the apps and the music from the Mac App Store, source: MacRumors.com:
'For those without an iOS device, Apple says to come back to iTunes on December 26th to download gifts from your computer. Though the U.S. customers are excluded from this promotion, App Store developers frequently use the holidays to hold sales on their apps. AppventCalendar is another daily free app promotion that has already started daily app freebies.'
But I don't really understand this. There isn't a app in the Mac App store like this, and 'to come back to iTunes on December 26th' Why? There isn't an app?!
Help me!

pdroth, Yes, I am aware that only the pilot is free. I did find it and downloaded it but my next question is that when it was done downloading it said "your purchase is complete" This better not have charged me. Did it?
