I am an archaeologist and GIS Specialist with a modest background in computer science and general electronic tinkering. I generally know enough to get in way over my head and then work my way back out.

comment How to rename .met file with model builder which uses an iterator to rename .sid files?
Could it be as simple as adding multiple wildcard strings? As in "*.sid; *.met" It's a shot in the dark but it's what I would try next... Good luck!

comment Arcpy add and calculate fields for features in a list
Thanks! I'll look into that, I have been getting pretty tired of keeping track of all those x,y,z,i,j,k integers for all my while loops. I guess my C++ is showing a bit...

The arcGIS app from iTunes links to your ArcGIS online account and can be used with maps that you have built and published from arcGIS desktop. Check out resources.arcgis.com/en/tutorials for some good tutorials that should get you started.

comment Install ArcGIS apps on my Iphone. Is there a manual or instructions for it?
Are you referring to the ArcGIS Online app that is available from the App Store or are you trying to install ArcGIS (the software suite) on your iPhone? The app is very easy to install, just download it and enter your username and password for arcGIS online. I am not aware of any way to install something like the ArcGIS software suite onto an iOS device.

comment Get the continent given the latitude and longitude
What are your tolerance limits? A quick and dirty solution could be to use the corners of a rectangle that encloses each continent and check to see if the coordinates are within the range of each corner but that solution will likely result in errors near borders.
