iPhone 4 and iPod Touch Find my iPhone app

2011-10-25 Thread Peter Crisp
Hi all, I have an anomaly occurring and not sure if it is something I am/ am 
not doing or otherwise. I have an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.7) and kids each have an 
iPod Touch 4th generation (all iOS5). all 4 machines have Find My iPhone app 
installed. The iPhone for the moment cannot be upgraded to iOS5 (company phone) 
and the iPod Touch's are all iOS5. I have reviewed the troubleshooting page on 
the Apple site for issues and reviewed them over and over and verified settings 
on all units. 

The issue is this. when I do a search for units in the app (on any one of the 4 
units) - it ALWAYS locates the iPhone - never fails, but one of the iPod Touch 
units doesn't exist and the other two report on the screen, but location 
cannot be found (red dot). I have confirmed date setting, Location services ON, 
units connected to WiFi. Still unable to locate the two units (that exist) and 
cannot get the 4th unit to report as existing on the other units' screens. 

Not a train wreck for me yet, but a friend recently lost their iPhone and 
successfully locked it remotely and others have found theirs using this app. 
So I am keen to get it sorted and operating reliably. Many of the reviews rate 
the app very poorly as flaky and not reliable. It seems that way to me, but I 
am sure there must be something (or a number of things) resulting in the status 
I have here.

Does anyone have any experience with this app and suffered these issues and 
subsequently resolved them?

Grateful for any feedback on this.

Re: iPhone 4 and iPod Touch Find my iPhone app

2011-10-25 Thread cm
Hi Peter,

I have had only good experiences with Find My iPhone. I just checked now and 
all my listed portable devices and MacBook Pro are shown safely at home. There 
are two ways to locate your equipment, one is using the web interface at 
iCloud.com and the other is with the Find My iPhone app running on an iOS 
device. A chief difference between the iPhone and the iPod Touch is that the 
iPhone has a GPS module, and cell phone unit and so can potentially be located 
to within a metre or two whereas location by triangulation of WiFi hotspots 
used by the iPod Touch and MacBook is OK to within one or two hundred metres.

While you trying to set things up you may have more luck using the web 
interface so as to cut out the app and possible connection problems you may get 
on your iOS device. I can only suggest that you try turning the location 
service off and then back on for each device in turn and see if it shows up on 
the iCloud web site. For the iPod Touch devices with iOS 5, make sure you are 
logged into iCloud in the iCloud settings screen and turn on the Find My iPhone 
setting -- or cycle it off and then on if it is already on. 

Cheers,
Carlo

Re: reverting to older version of iPhone app (was Bento 4)

2011-03-20 Thread Pete Smith

Thanks Carlo.

I decided to revert and followed your instructions with no problems except step 
3.

I deleted both apps from iTunes and the iPhone, confirming both deletes. When I 
started step 3 to sync the iPhone minus Bento, up popped a message box saying 
that the iPhone had downloaded items that were no longer on iTunes and did I 
want to bring them across? I can't remember exactly what it said; sorry; but 
that was the gist of it. As I knew I hadn't downloaded any thing I rejected it.

I cancelled the sync using the slider on the iPhone, waited what seemed like 
ages whilst iTunes still indicated it was backing up my iPhone. When it finally 
said it was safe to disconnect I then dragged the old app from finder into the 
iTunes Library and re-synced the iPhone.

I then opened Bento on both devices and had to set up from anew again and sync 
which took about 37mins but now all is well and my latest book additions are on 
my iPhone so I wont double up.

As an afterthought - I have just realised that I had, in fact, updated some 
data on an app (bus timetables) via 3G on Friday so maybe that was what the 
message was about?  But that doesn't make sense as I hadn't synced since then 
anyway. I've just done another sync and the message didn't come up but the data 
is still on the iPhone anyway. I also checked and compared the app size and 
worked out the content of the Bento app when I synced was 1.45GB!

Many thanks again Carlo.

(PS - I'm already missing the look of the new Bento app. Must upgrade to Bento 
4 soon.)

 Hi Pete,
 
 Well done in preserving the file! If the update to the iPhone app was free, 
 you have a painless way to revert to the older version that you just 
 recovered from Trash. It is easy enough so I will detail it here to give you 
 the option. The file you recovered should have a .ipa extension, that 
 presumably stands for iPhone app.
 
 1) Delete the app from your iTunes library -- in iTunes select Apps in the 
 left hand selector panel, find the icon of the app in question in the right 
 hand detail panel, right click or Ctrl-click the icon and select Delete. In 
 the successive pop-ups select Remove and then Move to Trash.
 
 2) Delete the app from your iPhone -- press and hold the App icon until it 
 jiggles, then select the X at the top left of the icon and confirm the delete.
 
 3) You can sync your iPhone now to save any version confusion (I am not sure 
 if this step is necessary)
 
 4) Drag the .ipa file of your old version to the Library pane at the top left 
 of iTunes.
 
 5) Sync your iPhone again to install the old version to the phone.
 
 And that's it. You can then at some future time upgrade again to the newer 
 version of the App, but until you want to do that, avoid selecting the app 
 for upgrade in the app store.

Re: reverting to older version of iPhone app (was Bento 4)

2011-03-20 Thread cm

Hi again Pete,

I should have mentioned. That message that you received when syncing implies 
that you either purchased or updated an app directly on your iPhone without a 
corresponding purchase or updated on iTunes. The updated app would have been 
transferred to iTunes. If Bento was correctly deleted on both devices, it was 
likely a different app that you updated. I wouldn't worry, though, as it will 
pester you until everything is back in synchrony. 

And yes, in my experience also, canceling a sync takes way more time than you 
would expect unless you catch it right at the start.

 Oh! A little harsh Ronni ;o)
 
 OK, I had missed that the Game Center was part of the new software, but the 
 trouble is:
 
 I really DID want the new HDR photography - so I had to upgrade for that.
 In general, sticking with my current software and refraining from any further 
 upgrades does not seem like a balanced response just because I don't want 
 Game Center and I have no interest in games on my iPhone - I would miss out 
 on all the other improvements  features ( how many times, when 
 troubleshooting issues, have you said make sure your software is up to date)
 
 It’s no big deal, I have just created an “obsolete” folder on an additional 
 apps screen and Game Center is now despatched there – together with the 
 “Weather” app that featured unrealistic weather forecasts (for Albany) from 
 Yahoo weather (I’m now using one that uses BOM data) - however, I still don’t 
 see why Apple won’t let me remove apps I don’t want/need – I mean, I could 
 remove iMovie or Garageband from my iMac if I really wanted to!

Hi Neil,

Ok yesterday was a hard day, I probably should not have bothered searching to 
find an answer to your query.
It was actually a 'copy  paste' from Apple Discussions.

'Game Center' has generated a lot of  comments, negative as well as positive.
But, the reality is … Game Center is part of the iOS4.1 Software … we have to 
live with it.
I won't use 'Game Center', but realise a lot of people who are avid gamers are 
excited, and have been wanting this in an update.
Also the game developers welcome this.

We will soon have it on our iPads as well. iOS 4.2 beta for iPad released to 
developers, what's new?

 further upgrades does not seem like a balanced response just because I don't
 want Game Center and I have no interest in games on my iPhone - I would miss
 out on all the other improvements  features ( how many times, when
 troubleshooting issues, have you said make sure your software is up to
 date)
 
 It¹s no big deal, I have just created an ³obsolete² folder on an additional
 apps screen and Game Center is now despatched there ­ together with the
 ³Weather² app that featured unrealistic weather forecasts (for Albany) from
 Yahoo weather (I¹m now using one that uses BOM data) - however, I still don¹t

 Hi Neil,
 
 Ok yesterday was a hard day, I probably should not have bothered searching to
 find an answer to your query.
 It was actually a 'copy  paste' from Apple Discussions.
 
 'Game Center' has generated a lot of  comments, negative as well as positive.
 But, the reality is Š Game Center is part of the iOS4.1 Software Š we have to
 live with it.
 I won't use 'Game Center', but realise a lot of people who are avid gamers are
 excited, and have been wanting this in an update.
 Also the game developers welcome this.
 
 We will soon have it on our iPads as well. iOS 4.2 beta for iPad released to
 developers, what's new?
 http://www.techau.tv/blog/category/apple/
 
 I would suggest you leave feedback for Apple here:

Hi Neil

Although, this doesn't actually get rid of it completely, if you don't want
to see the icons for the things you use, this is another way to do it.

NOTE!!! I haven't tried this, and as it's using some modification code, be
very wary that it could break things. So always back up, and be aware.
(That's just to cover me if anything goes wrong should someone try it,...I'm
just providing the info.) :o)

The iPhone doesn't need to be Jailbroken, which is quite handy.

Re: iPhone app - Game Center ???

2010-09-23 Thread Neil Houghton

Thanks for that Daniel.

I'm still getting to grips with how the iPhone SHOULD work though - so I
think I'll wait a while before I think about changing things too much ;o)

It's quite funny - this is my first mobile phone - the other half had been
nagging for a while if you had a mobile phone, I would have been able to
let you know I was going to be late! - but I decided that if I was going to
have one it would have to be an iPhone and the first iterations didn't
really do it for me - you just KNEW that the next one would be so much
better - so when the iPhone 4 was released, I was finally happy that the
feature set was worth the money.

So, now I've had the phone 4 weeks and I've had lots of fun making up
playlists and transferring music, checking out various apps, deciding which
free case to go for, and generally playing with my new toy.

I have to say it's great fun, however, to date, I've made 1 phone call, sent
one email (a test!), missed one phone call (the other half) received one
real SMS (the other half saying You actually supposed to answer your phone
when it rings. Where are you. plus a couple of Telsta SMSs... so, given all
my data has been over the home wireless network, my $49 cap plan with
Telstra is hardly being maxed out!!!


I dare say that actual phone usage will increase over time ;o)

Re: iPhone app - Game Center ???

Ah Neil, now I understand your 'surprise' about 'Game Center' added in Software 
on the iPhone.

You have never had a Mobile Phone, so have never experienced all the 'Tools, 
icons, and stuff' that are on Mobile Phones.
I always had Nokia mobiles, prior to owning an iPhone, and they had 'stuff' on 
them I never wanted or used.
I just hid them as you can do on the iPhone.

Use your iPhone, you will enjoy the experience ;-)

iPhone app - Game Center ???

2010-09-22 Thread Neil Houghton

I'm confused...

A new app has suddenly appeared on my iPhone - it is called Game Centre -
I have not downloaded it and it doesn't appear in my apps section in iTunes
- though I can see it on the iPhone when connected to iTunes.

If I open the app it wants me to sign-in with my Apple ID account - so
presumably it is an Apple app? - but why did it suddenly appear on my
iPhone!

I have absolutely no interest in games (either on my iPhone or Computer) -
so I would like to just delete the app - how do I do that?

Hi Neil,

Andrew is correct.


Game Center
iOS SDK 4 includes the Game Kit APIs that allow you to create apps that will 
work with Game Center, Apple's new social gaming network. Your users can invite 
friends to play a game, start a multiplayer game through auto-matching, track 
their achievements, and compare their best scores on a leaderboard.

Re: iPhone app - Game Center ???

2010-09-22 Thread Peter Meyer

Yes the software update (iOS4.1) was certainly required if you wanted apps on 
your iPhone 3G or 3GS to run again at a reasonable speed after the iOS 4 
upgrade.
Admittedly there were hacks suggested to solve the slowing problem just prior 
to release of the update but they seemed to be uncertain and unverified.

  You cannot delete Game Centre.

  Apple did provide an 'Opt In'. It was called the software update. It

  would 
  have known... Read the documentation next time... Lesson learned… 
 
 Oh! A little harsh Ronni ;o)
 
 OK, I had missed that the Game Center was part of the new software, but the 
 trouble is:
 
   • I really DID want the new HDR photography - so I had to upgrade for 
 that.
   • In general, sticking with my current software and refraining from any 
 further upgrades does not seem like a balanced response just because I don't 
 want Game Center and I have no interest in games on my iPhone - I would miss 
 out on all the other improvements  features ( how many times, when 
 troubleshooting issues, have you said make sure your software is up to date)
 
 It’s no big deal, I have just created an “obsolete” folder on an additional 
 apps screen and Game Center is now despatched there – together with the 
 “Weather” app that featured unrealistic weather forecasts (for Albany) from 
 Yahoo weather (I’m now using one that uses BOM data) - however, I still don’t 
 see why Apple won’t let me remove apps I don’t want/need – I mean, I could 
 remove iMovie or Garageband from my iMac if I really wanted to!
 
 
 
 Cheers

iPhone app/Exercise

2010-06-15 Thread Stuart Breden


I had thought that Wii Fit had an application for iPhone.  Can't find  
it on the Nintendo site or on the iTunes store.


Any knowledge of an exercise application for iPhone?

iPhone app/emergency location/GPS

2010-06-11 Thread Stuart Breden


In an emergency is there some way of using the GPS of the iPhone and  
sending your location to the emergency services e.g. police, SES,  
ambulance etc?

Hi Stuart

I don't believe you can send the GPS data directly to the emergency
services. But there are several applications that you can download that will
give you the raw GPS data which you could then relay via the telephone to
the emergency operator on the other end

Re: IPhone app/Weather

2010-05-04 Thread Rob Phillips


PKT Weather is great. Especially the weather radars.  I've used it all 
over Australia.  The only drawback I see is the lack of synoptic charts, 
but I don't know what other Apps provide this.

Am getting to know my new iPhone.  Impressed so far.

iPhone has Weathr but basic.  I like the radocaj.com widget.

What is the best weather application for the iPhone?
