Quick Help: iPad Sync & Contacts
I tried to create a contact on my iPad a couple of times and the app crashed. Then when I tried to synch with my MacBook Pro, it kept telling me that the iPad had canceled the sync. Then when I went to the Info tab in iTunes and selected Advanced and selected to replace the contacts info, I got the same issue.
The solution that worked for me [...]
Windows Pad
We all know, and I blogged about it once upon a time, about the January announcement of the Windows tablets and slates. It was like having the marked man talking in front of the mob, everyone but he knows what’s actually going to happen. Lots said, nothing happened.
Now it’s different. iPads have been selling like hot cakes, RIM [...]
iPad-anada
I knew that the iPad was going on sale, and I knew that every Apple store in the area (there are 2) would be packed with people, but I also had figured that other retailers were going to be selling them as well. So I strolled into my friendly neighbourhood Future Shop to have a look. There were three or four iPads available for playing around [...]
Microsoft and The Big Apple
There are a number of rumours flying around the Internet stating that Visual Studio 2010 will be supporting iPad, iPhone and native Mac OS application development. Anyone who knows Microsoft knows that this is not ever going to happen, at least not on Steve Ballmer or any of the Gates/Ballmer disciples reign.
Why not? So argue that Microsoft [...]
Bye bye MonoTouch, it was nice
Yesterday I became aware of a new clause in the Apple SDK 4.0 agreement, which blocks all non-Objective C, C and C++ written applications and blocks all applications that do not directly connect to the Apple APIs. It specifically highlights that translation layers and basically any definition of a framework are dead as well. There’s an [...]
iPhone Dev – NavigationControll...
It has been frustrating me for a couple of weeks, and then I would put it aside. Using MonoTouch can sometimes make it a bit harder to find the answers you need.
When you define a Navigation Controller (UINavigationController) that has a Toolbar (shown at the bottom of your screen) how do you get your views that are pushed on to top of it to [...]
iPad – From a different Perspec...
I’m looking forward to the release of the iPad here in Canada, I think there are a number of great application opportunities and I think it’ll help give a big shove in the direction of natural user interfaces, the successor to GUIs.
In thinking about the iPad there are a couple of thoughts I find myself sharing on a regular basis [...]
One more time, with feeling
As I got apps reinstalled on my machine, I pulled data back from the various sources I had stored it. However my iPhone code, for my first iPhone app which I was 90% finished, did not survive it seems.
Part of the problem I was having in the final days is that copying would either hang or fail for certain things, my code was one of those thin [...]
iPhone App & The Finishing Line
Over the past couple of months I’ve been chiseling away at my iPhone application, using Novell’s MonoTouch (.NET C# language wrapper for iPhone development), and now I’m nearing its completion. While there is still art work to be done, writing up, I’m also having another go at the ergonomics to make sure it is just rig [...]
