I want to know how to display the iPhone simulator. I switched view to iPad and then has switched back to the iPhone simulator but now it just shows the screen and not the whole iPhone display. Need to take some screen shots and do a video from the simulator. Any help, totally confused and not sure how to change the simulator view.

Then go to Window (Menu, Scale, 100%. This is the only config I know of that you'll be able to get the iphone layout with.

I used in in my youtube trailers for the Buzz Carousel. It can have a faux background green screened in to hide your ugly desktop. It is also excelenet for showing how your camera elements of your app work. Obviously you would need an ipad for it to work. Well worth £9 Comments Morning Las your up early, Webneves is spot on, I recommend an app called Reflector http://www.reflectorapp.com/ this mirrors your actual device to your mac, It has in built screen recording, rotates in realtime.

Be cool to get some videos up of my apps. Comments I like the look of the reflector app, is there any lag when recording. Be cool to get some videos up of my apps.
