Updated - NEW BT FON App for mobile internet acces...

Hi Everyone
Some updated info to add to that below. We've had a few people asking whether the app can be used on the iPad or Blackberry - i'm afraid the short answer is no - not at the moment but it is something we are actively working on.
We launched the app initially only on Apple and Android, and we've had a fantastic response so far. Over 70k downloads at this point, making it no. 7 in the Apple iStore downloads. We've had lots of great feedback and we are working on developing the app further so we can bring it to you on other devices and operating systems.
We'll keep you up to date with any new developments on this forum, so please keep checking back!
Thx
Kerry
Original Announcement:
Hi Everyone
We have launched a BT FON free mobile application that will make it easier to connect to the internet on the move. Once you have downloaded the app it will automatically connect your mobile device to our network of 1.6 million Wi-Fi hotspots when you are in range.
To celebrate the launch of the BT FON app, BT will be donating 50p to Children in Need for each app downloaded until we hit our target of ten thousand pounds.*
What does the BT FON app do?
The application gives BT Total Broadband customers easy mobile access to free and unlimited Wi-Fi and includes a mapping device which updates weekly so that customers can find their nearest hotspot.
The application also allows BT Total Broadband customers to
Opt in to BT FON (if they are not already)
Automatically log in or be prompted to log in when they are in the range of a BT FON or BT Openzone hotspot, depending on how they have chosen to configure the application.
Find the nearest hotspot from their current location and look up other hotspots using Google Maps
Get help and support through the FAQs loaded into the app
How do I get it?
The BT FON mobile application can be downloaded from the Android market or iPhone app store. It is compatible with iPhone 3Gs and 4, and Android phones such as the HTC Hero, HTC Desire, HTC Legend or Nexus One.
Quick links:
iPhone Users can download the application from: the app store or by typing http://bit.ly/iPhoneBTFon into the iPhone’s browser
Android users can download the application from the Android Market or by typing http://bit.ly/AndroidBTFon into their devices browser
Once you have downloaded the app, all you need to do is input your btinternet email username and password, and choose to be automatically logged in whenever you are in a BT Wi-Fi area.
Because access is unlimited and free for BT Total Broadband customers there’s no chance of racking up extra costs on your mobile phone bill.
For more information please check the Fon website: http://www.bt.com/freewifi

*50p from every BT FON application downloaded will be donated to the BBC Children in Need Appeal, a company limited by guarantee. Once £10,000 is reached no more donations will be given to BBC Children in Need as a result of this promotion.

Hi Guys,
The ipod touch devices don't have GPS functionality and hence cannot automatically locate your position if it hasn't already got a connection. The mapping still works as long as you enter the location (postcode, street name etc); but will not work if you select "Choose a location to search>Your current location".
There is no reason why the app won't work abroad. A colleague at FON tried it successfully in Madrid. It will work with any BT FON/BT Openzone SSID.
Cheers

HT1711 How do I update new versions of Apps using the new iTunes?

Good day all. I am having problems downloading updated versions of some Apps using the new iTunes. How do I update new versions of Apps using the new iTunes?

You can go back to the old view with the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (if you are on windows then alt-v should show the View drop-down menu) - which is what I'm currently doing as I'm familiar with that way.
Or, on the new view you can click on the library type at the top left and select Apps and then Check For Updates at the bottom right of the screen. When you've downloaded the updates to your computer, click on Library top right to go back to your library view from the store, then select the iPad (top right) and Sync at the bottom right should then copy the updates to your iPad.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

Over £1000 for mobile internet usage for a period of three days!!!???

can someone please help me on this. i am a complete novice when it comes to the iphone. im a pay as u go nokia user normally. my husband took out an orange contract with the iphone 4 as the handset as a gift for me. thought(and still do believe) the phone was an absolute fantastic piece of technology, so clever yet simple and user friendly. however the phone, three days after the contract was taken out, has been disconnected. the service provider (orange) has informed us the mobile internet useage has reached over a £1000!!! is there a possibility that mayb i havent clicked off the internet when im not using it. i thought i tap the safari button and that would automatically connect and tap the home button to disconnect from the internet. is this right? please help as we dont want to b paying so much for three days worth of having such an incredible handset.

When pressing the home button to leave Safari, Safari is suspended. A web page or multiple pages that remain open when leaving the app should not be updated in the background.
If you are accessing an email account or multiple email accounts with the iPhone's Mail app and the accounts are checked for new messages automatically in the background or if you are accessing an account that supports Push access for received messages with Push access enabled, when there are new messages received at the incoming mail server the messages will be downloaded in the background.
When selecting and using any app that requires internet access, when you are not connected to an available wi-fi network, data access via the cellular network will be used.

My IMac will not load installation software for Mobile Internet USB Plug

Hi, I have a new IMac(Leopard), and have recently loaded a new USB Mobile Internet Plug (SFR France) on to the machine in order to access the internet/mobileme.We live on a boat in France so being "connected" is so important to us.
The installation software is in the USB plug, it loaded successfully, connected and worked well for a period of time.
The IMac then seemed to "forget" the application, and did not open correctly and I had to "force quit" to continue.
I then removed the application and any bits I could find in other folders, and tried to re-install by inserting the plug again. The Icon to install only flashed on the desk top and disappeared so I could not perform this task.
I even tried to "restore" from Time Machine (and my external hard drive), the icon to install appeared on the desktop and I installed the application, but when I clicked onto the "connection icon" it jammed again and did not load.
I checked the status of the installation device by loading the program successfully on the Macbook Pro I have, and even loaded it onto a Dell PC and even had it checked at SFR, and all ok. So it appears the problem is with the IMac.
Any advice suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it is so frustrating!

I have had similar problems with both Sprint and Verizon units (Novatel u727 & u760). Solved both by going to provider sites and downloading SW.

Illustrator app for mobile (Android and iOS)

Would you like an Android (iOS) Illustartor App?
I wish:
That there was an Android (and iOS) app of illustrator so I could work on Layouts for Websites on the go, like while I'm riding the train for 1 hour to go to work.
There is an app which I tried (Autodesk Sketch Pro) but it's no good enough it is focusing too much on freehand drawing and it's layer based. You can't move a shape itself, you have to move the whole layer.
What I need:
I need an app for my Android phone and tablet which enables me to make layouts of websites which after I will send to my designer and developer. The thing is, I need to send good layout sketches to my designer. With that the whole process would be more efficient.
I'm not a good at freehand drawing thats why I would like to work with all the standard vector shapes, snap to grid, different kinds of splines and the possibility to add open fonts.
What Adobe (Illustrator) should do:
I think the way you should do this mobile app is:
1. Check Autodesk Sketch pro (what can you to better than them)
2. Make a great vector app
3. Include a function that is useful to a lot of people to get more potential customers. (include: a nice drawing function, the ability to make nice flowcharts and/or infographics)
4. Sell it to a fair price 8-12$
I hope I didn’t forget anything if I did please let me know in the comments below Thank you.

App for recording internet radio stations?

Hi, have looked in the app store for an app that will enable me to record internet radio stations that I am listening to.
I have seen there are plenty of recorders that will record voice etc through the iphone mic but I really want to record what I am hearing such as internet radio.
Will any of the current apps do this? If so which ones & which are stable etc?
Many Thanks!

there is no way you could have an app that plays internet radio and have an app that records the internet radio...i dont know if an app exists but even if it did, you couldnt run 2 apps at the same time, so obviously you cant record

BT FON app for Android Tablet - help

I have just got a Android tablet.
It runs a cut down version of Android 2.1 and doesn't have Android Market on it.
Anybody got any ideas how I can download the BT FON app without going to the Android Market?

Yes, and No.
If you are on BTBBAnywhere, you are on option 3, which gives you unmetred access (nearly) to Fon.
The key to Fon is not a BT SIM card, but a BTBB a/c. I only know option 3 (which I am on) and that gives you open access.
So if you are with another operator with a windows/android/i phone + a BT Broadband #3 a/c, you sign in on the BTBB landing page with you BT username and password (sub-accounts dont work).
I dont know that #1 and 2 on BTBB have.

How to Update InDesign Digital Publication App for iOS Updates

I created a digital publication and put it through the DPS system for use as an app on the App Store. Customers are now reporting issues with the App after updating their iPads to newer iOS versions. Since I am not hand coding this or creating it through the usual app programs, how do I go about updating the app to work? I don't see anyway to do that through the DPS system, I upload the InDesign files to the DPS system and get the file back from Adobe. I've had this issue before and both Adobe and Apple say it's not their problem and tell me to contact the other, leaving me in the middle with no way to resolve the issue. Any help in this matter based on your experience would be helpful.

Since you used 5.5 I assume you purchased a serial number to build your application. You’ll need to contact product support and ask them to reset the serial number for you so you can rebuild the application.
Once you have the serial number you’ll need to make a new app in App Builder and upload the .zip file you have saved from Folio Producer. Then submit the updated app to Apple.

Does LCCS work on iOS, such as iPhone? Can I use the SDK examples to develop an app for mobile?

I'm working on a project to create an air application which will have a chat area, webcam, and open videos in real time. This should also work on iOS.
Can I use the same examples in the SDK to create this app by using flash builder 4.5? Is there any tutorials will help me in this topic?
One more Question, by using LCCS, can I open a loaded videos/YouTube videos in a real time? Is there is any tutorial or example? In the adobe LiveCicle Collaboration web site, there is an example for The Video Livingroom. Is there a tutorial/code for this example?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thank you
Suha

I think these guys had success on the iOS:
