Hi guys, I was wondering if there's a way to "embed" a Vimeo video in an iPhone app. For YouTube videos I'm using a webview containing the correct embed code for the YouTube video and the iPhone's native YouTube support will then transform the flash player into a YouTube button. Is there a similar way to play Vimeo videos from my app...
I know how to use NSTimeZone to derive the offset for the current time in another time zone. NSDate always returns relative to GMT, so how do I derive a string with the proper time zone information? i.e. I take the current time where I am (in EST) and using NSTimeZone end up subtracting the 3 hours necessary to represent the time in PST....

On Init, I call: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES]; My 3GS will never goto sleep while unplugged, but my 3G will. Any ideas? Rebooting will sometimes fix the issue, but it just crops up again.. Both phones have the latest OS. I've even tried putting that on a 1sec NSTimer, still nothing. The screen will ...

Hi All, Having a problem with NSURLConnection, if I create a NSURLConnection and call [connection connectionWithRequest] let it load a little then call [connection cancel] most of the time that works fine.

I understand that NSNumber is immutable, but I still have the need to change it in my app. I use it because it's an object, and therefore usable with @property (if I could, I would use float or CGFloat in a heartbeat, but sadly, I can't). Is there any way to just overwrite the old NSNumber instance? I'm trying this: NSNumber *zero = [[...
I'm extending UIButton with generic functionality to change certain appearance attributes based on the displayed title. In order to do this, I need to detect and respond to changes in the "state" property.

As far as I can tell, I can only get the entire address book, but there is no way to know which (if any) contact is the contact information for the owner of the phone, i.e. the phone # of the phone itself. Is there any way to accomplish this? Perhaps by triangulating some data the SDK makes available? ...

Hi all, is there a way to programmatically access the age restriction set in the parental controls on the iPhone/iPad/iPod? I'd like to disallow features if the age restriction is too low.

I'm having a memory problem related to UIImageView. After adding this view to my UIScrollView, if I try to release the UIImageView the application crashes.
