Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?

I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
Thanks!

you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
/* Load the request. */
[myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

  • Does the iPhone play animated GIFs?

    Hi,
    Does the iPhone play animated GIFs? Sorry for asking such a basic question but I can't seem to find the answer on the web or within this forum.
    Also how do you implement it into your code? Do you need to use a UIWebView or can you just declare it like a regular png or jpg (e.g. UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"photo.gif"])
    Thanks for any help.

  • Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

    Apples developer conference begins tomorrow.

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

  • Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

    Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen?  This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not?  Seems like an assinine concept!

    It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

  • Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

    Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for further assistance.

  • Why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    I had similar problem. My iPhone was always about 3 minutes faster than the correct time here in the UK which I found to be very irritating. It just came to a head because here in the UK we have just changed from British Summer Time back to standard GMT. This actually worked automatically except that the iPhone time still showed it to be about 3 minutes faster than GMT. However I have now cured the problem (almost) by going to
         Settings/General/ Date & Time/ and then selected the "Set Automatically" button.
    The clock then immediately jumped back 3 minutes and now the iPhone time is only about 10 seconds slow which is good enough for me.

  • Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs.

    Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs. All the artwork is correct in the itunes 11 library, but when sync'd the iphone arbittary chooses what it wants

    My guess is you are using iTunes Match.
    iTunes Match is a great feature, but I suggest keeping it on only on your computer.  Turn iTunes Match off on your iPhone at Settings > Music > iTunes Match.  Then sync your iPhone and you should get all the artwork.  You may have to sync two or three times to get it all after turning off iTunes Match.

  • With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?

    With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?
    I usually go to bed after my wife. I have the Do Not Disturb set for 11 pm to 7 am, and I can see the moon symbol.
    So why when I go to bed at midnight and plug in my iPhone to recharge do I get a LOUD BEEP?
    My wife is banning my phone from being next to my bed and an alarm clock.
    To me it seems that the "Do Not Disturb" should turn this beep into a vibrate.

    section2i:
    If that is true, then you should file that as a bug using the link above:
    If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that when vibrate is 'off', and you turn on the phone and plug it in that a vibration occurs, and that it is not respecting the vibrate 'off'.
    That would be a slightly different issue from what I am asking about (Do Not Disturb), and would probably need a separate bug report.

  • фф тормозит при выводе анимированных gif картинок (google.trnslt - FF inhibits the derivation of animated gif images)

    если выводить анимированные картинки одну за другой(примерно так - <a onclick="smiley(':yes:'); return false;" href="#"><img src="/engine/data/emoticons/yes.gif" alt="yes"></a> - и так повторить раз 100, с разными смайлами), то ФФ начинает дико лагать, замедляется как работа самого фф(конкретно на этой вкладке), так и анимация картинки
    нашел единственный способ этого избежать - каждую картинку вставить в ячейку таблицы, но это плохой вариант решения проблемы, т.к. ограничивает возможности верстки. да и вообще это не вариант, т.к. проблема явно не в верстке, а в самом ФФ.
    ОЧЕНЬ тормозит!!! загрузка ЦП поднимается до 25%(intel q6600, 4gb, 570gtx)
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; - не помогает<br />
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; - не помогает
    Google.trnslt:
    if display animated pictures one by one (like this - &lt;a onclick="smiley(':yes:'); return false;" href="#"&gt; &lt;img src = "/ engine / data / emoticons / yes.gif "alt =" yes "&gt; &lt;/ a&gt; - and so once again 100, with different emoticons), the FF began wildly lag, slowing the work of the FF (specifically on the tab), and animation pictures
    found the only way to avoid this - every image inserted into a table cell, but it is a bad solution to the problem, because limits the possibility of imposition. and generally is not an option because problem is clearly not in the layout, but in the FF.
    VERY slow! CPU usage rises to 25% (intel q6600, 4gb, 570gtx)
    &lt;div&gt; &lt;a&gt; &lt;img&gt; &lt;/ a&gt; &lt;/ div&gt; - does not help<br />

  • With PPT 2007 when I print my PPT file to Notes view why does the slide portion become an image

    I am trying to print a ppt file using PowerPoint 2007 notes view to PDF with Distiller and create a full text searchable PDF.
    Everytime I do, the slide portion becomes an image. The only textual portion of the PDF are the page numbers and the actual notes.
    This was not the case with Office 2003. The slide portion was full text searchable. Does anyone know why this is.

    Irma,
    Show the file in Finder with the pps or ppt extension, you want Powerpoint to open.
    Get info on the file, using command-I, and change the application to open all documents like this to Powerpoint.

  • Why does the iPhone not have expandable memory (i.e. MicroSD Chips)?

    I know that many phones come with a MicroSD slot to come with the phone, but why does Apple NOT provide a slot for the iPhone. I would like to know the answer to this hardware puzzle, because many competing phones have these advantages. The only upside I see in the iPhone is web versatility and stability, and that's diminishing very very fast.

    Why close it? Some people might be interested in reading it.
    No, posting on a site for a different product saying your product doesn't meet my needs make it like a Surface is trolling. Chiding someone who made a comment 2 years ago who isn't even here is trolling.
    Basically what you did was buy a product that you knew didn't have 2 important features that you think are essential and now you want Apple to add that. And even if they did add that then you would be posting about the fact that you can't copy anything to the USB or microSD device and you can't copy apps, documents, etc. Which is because iDevices don't have an accessible file system. And you've already mentioned you want that. Due to security reasons it isn't going to happen.
    What you've said you need is a table that is a full computer. You need to buy the Surface Pro (skip the RT, there are limitations you will not be happy with). It will give you a USB port, accessories for a microSD and a fully accessible file system.
    The good news is Apple's devices hold resale value far, far better than any other comparable devices. So sell yours and get a Surace Pro. You will be glad you did.

  • Why does the iPhone 4 need to send an SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?

    Hi there.
    I keep wondering why iPhone 4 need to send a international SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?
    It cost's 2,50 dkr ($0.48) every time it does that.
    I have a mobile subscription where i get 5 hours talk time, Free SMS, Free MMS, Free talk to all with same subscription and 5GB data for 129 dkr/month ($24.77).
    But the internation SMS is not free.
    And it really bugs me that my danish iPhone has to send an SMS to England to acticate FaceTime that i only can use on WiFi.
    I also have a iPad 2 (WiFi model), and it can activate FaceTime fine via WiFi. So why can't the iPhone 4 do that?
    I really really need a good explanation to why i have to pay to activate FaceTime.
    Why can't you make local numbers to send the SMS too, or do it via WiFi just like the iPad 2.
    The strangest this is that you have to be on WiFi to use FaceTime, so why use the mobile network to activate FaceTime?

    Where are you, what network are you on and where did you get your phone?
    The fact that it uses SMS isn't really the issue here and no-one on this forum can answer the "why" question. We are end users, not Apple. The accepted answer is if it's going to tie facetime to your phone number (which it does) then that's the way it's got to work.
    The puzzling part is why it would be sending one to England... unless of course, you purchased the phone in the UK and actually live in another region entirely.
