Hello World coded by Dayton

I have noticed several times in the last week with my new iPad, that web pages at times do not scroll. Some would scroll in portrait orientation, but not in landscape. Then, some web pages did not scroll in either orientation. After some researching on the Apple support forums, I found a few post that mentioned to scroll with 2 fingers. I tried this and it is working so far.

After a few years on using an iPhone 2G, iPod Touch and an iPhone 3G, on my birthday, I bought an iPhone 4 and iPad 3G. I have never had issues with the calendar events on any iOS device I have, not even my new iPhone 4. But, when I setup my calendars on my iPad 3G, the times of the meeting events were all off the same amount of time. After a while of research, I discovers iOS devices support a Time Zone adjustment under the calendar settings on the device. After I changed this setting, it corrected my problem.

Fix
Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll to the bottom. You should check under the Calendars section to make sure that your Time Zone Support is set to your time zone.

Here is the thread where I found the adjustments

I came across this link, and thought I would post it to save and share it with others. It details an easy way to get the exact UDID from the beta tester, and it also has a detailed description of how to setup the provisioning profile for the app.

Lets say you have a source coordinate and a destination coordinate inside your iOS application and you want to launch the pair and have directions load in the built in maps application on the device.

Assuming the device has GPS, you can get the user location lat & long using the syntax, *.userLocation.coordinate.latitude and *.userLocation.coordinate.longitude are dot properties in Objective-C, and they can be used as the source lat & long as seen below. Replace the * with the name of the mapView object in your code. You also need the lat & long of where you are going. Then, just build an NSString with the URL in it, and use the sharedApplication method of UIApplication to launch your URL in the built in map application.


NSString *mapURL = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f", mapView.userLocation.coordinate.latitude, mapView.userLocation.coordinate.longitude, destinationLatitude, destinationLongitude];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:mapURL]];

There is a video posted over on Lifehacker showing someone testing the new iOS 4.1 GM on an iPhone 3G. Since I still use an iPhone 3G, I was particularly interested in this video and found the speed enhancements pretty noticeable, as compared to my iPhone.

Check out the video for yourself:

So, I was messing around with some Apple iOS development the other day, like I do on a daily basis. I plugged my iPhone into my Mac and went to compile an app and test it on my iPhone. When I did, I got an error in the bottom left corner of Xcode. It stated it failed to upload the application. Which was odd, because the app was on my iPhone. I continued to test the app and make revisions and test some more, and I kept getting the error. I then noticed the cable I was using was a Belkin version of the standard iPhone dock cable. I grabbed the Apple one, and I have several, and test that. And, what do you know, the error went away.

So, the takeaway from this, if you are an Apple iOS developer, use only the Apple made dock cable.
