Turn off direction overlay in map app?

Once you've asked for directions from here to there in the Map app on the iPhone (and iPad too I suspect), is it possible to then turn off the purple line which indicates the suggested route? Several times I've wanted to not see it as it's so dark it obscures street names and also somtimes it's not the best route and is a distraction.
Is there any way to remove it so that you just see the map of the area?
Thanks

Hi Obinna,
Currently we do not have this ability with MOBI app on Android.
Will consider it with our backlog for future releases.

When will the iphone get audio directions in the maps app like the droid?

We have no idea when, or if, spoken directions will ever be added to the iPhone as a default feature. There are, however, other apps available from third-party developers that provide turn-by-turn directions.

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

I have ios 7 and lately when im turning off cellular data for some apps when i leave settings and go back in they have turned on back again by themselves. It appears as if i cant turn off cellular data for the apps i want. Any tips?

I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?

Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?

It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.

My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger (power supply). I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. I backed up my phone. I restored it several times. Even I re-installed iphone software. Also I restored it as a new iphone but doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the availble solutions?

We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone. But Apple can. Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

Hello prlipton,
If you want to stop sending reports to Apple and developers when apps crash, then go to System Preferences, click on Security & Privacy and click on Privacy. You will then see on the left side of the window an section for Diagnostics & Usage with the option to turn off sending crash data to app developers. Take a look at the article below for more information.

HT5429 Is there a way to turn off the turn-by-turn navigation voice from the map app itself without ending the directions?

I know that it is possible to turn off the voice for turn-by-turn directions completely (in the settings menu), but is there a way to temporarily silence the voice from the maps app itself? For example, if I am driving to the freeway from my house I know how to get there and do not want my phone talking to me, but I would like to keep the directions active and turn on the voice once I need it later in the directions. Is there an easy way to do this without going to the settings app each time?

I don't think there's any way to do it, but I'd like that feature as well: on long trips I listen to an audiobook and when I'm travelling routes that I already know well, I mostly want to use navigation to route around any traffic that might occur.
In both cases, the voice directions aren't welcome, and I can get by with the on-screen display… and in other GPS navigation software or hardware I've had, muting the voice was an easily accessed option. (Garmin USA on the iPhone, for example, has a 'mute' icon available right on the maps display).
I've requested that feature at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html - you may wish to do the same.

I've turned off push notifications for certain apps but the push notices still appear. Any idea why?

Hi there,
Apologies if this has been asked before.
My issue is not with notifactions not working, exactly the opposite. I have turned off notifications for several of the apps on my phone, but notifications still appear.
Is this a known problem? The main offender is an app called FreeAppADay.

I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems. I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well. I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix. I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account. I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
Any thoughts?

I put incorrect passcode to unlock my iphone and it disabled my phone, instructions say to restore but when I try to i get error msg saying to turn off the find my iphone app in order to restore, how can i do that w/o being able to get into my phone ???

This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

Turning off Image Preview in Mail.app

Hello, my computer is reasonably fast, but another one that I use (also on leopard) is an older mac Mini and its really slow. Unfortunately it really gets really slow when someone sends me an image file and the preview kicks in.
Is there any way to turn off preview in Mail.app?
If I really want to see a darn image I can always just d/l it and open it through finder....
Thanks

Unfortunately this preference is already turned off.
Another instance of this same is when I attach an image file to my files and send it off. I don't need to see what's on my pdf when I email it out, I just want to see the icon to know its attached to the message.

Turning OFF direct source (guitar) and hearing just plug in? How to?

In Nuendo I think you just hit the monitor button or in my case open Mackie control panel and turn down the volume (if loaded) and then all I hear is the plug in and guitar sim and
NO actual sound.
Looking to do the same in Logic.
Right now I hear both processed and non-processed.
Thanks!

Two possible monitoring sources:
1) Output from Logic--something routed to your audio interface from Logic (track/channel, aux, bus)
2) Direct monitoring through your audio interface
You need to turn one of them off to avoid doubling/phasing.
If you're happy monitoring the dry signal, just turn off "Software Monitoring" in the Logic Audio/Driver prefs. Or mute any objects assigned to that input. That'll kill #1.
If you need to monitor through Logic to hear the processing, you'll need to disable direct monitoring (#2), which will be controlled from outside Logic--either via software, or directly on your hardware.

File export turns off canvas overlay

I have just completed exporting some stills from a sequence. Each time I exported a file using Quicktime Conversion the canvas overlay turned off. Since I was exporting frames based on timecode this was a bit of a pain.
Does anybody know if this is a feature or a bug. I expect that it is a bug, but I have been wrong in the past!
Trevor

For me it only disappears when clicking on the "Options" button. You shouldn't need to do this once you've set in in a session...
