What TCP ports do iPhone apps typically use?

I work at a college that has a very closed wifi system. Many iOS apps will not work on college wifi due to lack of connection, supposedly. I suspect the problem is that some/many apps use a non-standard port which we have blocked. Unfortunately, the errors returned from the apps are very generic: Login unsuccessful; Initialization error; etc. For instance, gasbuddy works, gasbuddy.hess does not work. Flipboard does not work. All work on my home wifi network.
I have asked a couple of app developers for port numbers and they will not divulge. Our IT security officer will not open up all ports on the wifi system, only specific ports and port ranges.
Is there a solution so that we can open up a range of ports for our users on iOS devices, or will we be doomed to have "dumbphones" here at the college?

That's going to vary wildly from app to app. Short of putting a sniffer on the network and watching the traffic generated by each app individually, I doubt you're going to get that information.

    how do i find out what tcp ports are open? and where would i go to see them? i have a program that is asking for it and i am unable to find where those are listed.

    If you are not too tech savvy, try using the Network Utility found in the Utilities folder. Just have the Mac scan itself.
    If tech savvy, there's always Fyodor's classic NMap, found at www.insecure.org.

  • Porting an iPhone app to a desktop app

    I am new to objective C and Cocoa, and yet have managed to develop a pretty complex app for the iPhone.
    Being lazy, I would like to also run this on a Mac Pro for instance, or other Mac computers/laptops.
    Is there a simple way for me to "port" my iPhone app to the desktop?
    Thanks.

    Well its not necessarily easy, and you also have to think about rewriting your views for Mac OS X, and not the iPhone, and also keep in mind you have to have a completely different interface in Mac OS X compared to the iPhone. Note that something complex in a mobile device might not be complex at all on a full desktop environment. But considering you have already created the application for the iPhone, you know where your headed and have your objects planned out, and also saying that you can program Mac in the same coding language, it should be easier than scratch right?

  • What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but they won't let me email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

    What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but it these wont let me do certain things, such as email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

  • What TCP ports are used by Push notifications

    I believe my Firewall is blocking Push Notifications on my iPod touch. So, I wanted to discover what the TCP Ports are that are used by Push so I could open those ports to pass packets (info) to my iPod.

    See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
    "If you are still unable to receive notifications and you are using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223."

  • Looking for simple sample of iphone apps without using Interface Builder

    I successfully went through the 'iphone app tutorial' and used Interface Builder, but now want to try creating apps without it.
    The UI Catalog sample is too complex, but didn't see anything that just had a view and a button or label.
    Ideally I want code that doesn't require any IB usage, but I can't tell if that is possible yet...
    Anyone have a link to an easy sample?
    Or has anyone created a test app themselves and wouldn't mind posting?
    I took a stab at creating one and posted it on the "101" forum, but it would be hard for somebody to try and figure out what I was attempting

  • None of my iPhone apps are using cellular data except safari.

    The problem I have is that none of my iPhone apps like skype, whatsapp, viber etc use cellular data !! But safari alone works using cellular data ... And I have a 3G data pack in my iPhone and I use it with safari alone ! So I know that my net pack is not slow .... Previously the apps used to work using cellular data ! But now I don't know what the problem is ... But it's not working ! I also did a general reset to see if the problem gets resolved ... But It doesn't help !! I have an iPhone 4S running on iOS7 !! Someone please help me with this issue ..

    Then, your next step is to restore the phone. Unfortunately, I would not recommend you restore from backup. I'd suggest you restore as a new device, followed by syncing your content back to the phone:

    You can "try" restoring from backup first, but if the issue is being caused by corruption in your backup, restoring from backup will merely restore the issue.

  • What to do if iPhone apps don't work after syncing with iTunes

    Just wanting to share this with anyone who may have the same problem.
    This is what I did: All I did was authorised my computer to transfer apps into my iTunes.
    This may also help (depending on the cause of the problem)

    (Thanks to Jim for sending this link but apparently my solution was a much simpler one)
    Hope this helps! Cheerios!

    Try this - worked for me:
    on the iPhone, go Settings-->General-->Restricitons and either turn all Restrictions off OR if they are on make sure 'Installing Apps' is ON.

  • TS3376 what is going on with the find my iphone app,i use IOS 6.1.1 and i have updated the find my iphone app and now i cant locate my device

    some help or some explanation would be nice because i rly need this app and now after the update im not able to locate my device

    Not sure if it would help or not, but if you haven't already done so, some things you could try are:
    Tap Sign Out on the top right of the app, then sign back in
    Force close the app by going to the home screen, double-tapping the home button, locating the app in the list at the bottom, tapping and holding the app until it wiggles, tapping to close it, then tapping the home button again.
    Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Find My iPhone off, the after a minute or so, turn it back on.

  • What is the latetest iPhone I can use for a pre paid phone plan

    I want to buy a phone and pre-pay month to month. Everyone says I can't but my X-wife, my daughter and my granddaughter all have that type of service.

    That depends on where you are and what carrier you want to use.
    In the US, there are no supported GSM carriers that offer pre-paid service for the iPhone. There are a number of CDMA carriers that do, but you must purchase a phone specifically for their network.
