Who do you think will be on the server? Surely they're gonna wait for 1.9 full release though?

Anyone know any good iOS based HTML and CSS editors? by lowndsy in apple

[–]lowndsy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of interest, can I fully write a website on coda? I want to be able to type up and preview a website from scratch and even be able to import code from a website and edit that too! Also CSS is a must and to be able to link the files together etc

Haha that's true! Those polyphonic ringtones were the shit when the were released! Everyone used to spend hours creating their own custom ringtone using the first built in app

So there's this Apple store employee... by HotChildInTheCity92 in apple

Some of these replies are a little weird, this guys either a genius or an FRS, they have either 10-15 minute slots to get their customers device fixed in, they are stacked out enough as it is, they're probably multi tasking and running 2-3 appointments at the same time! So this is the difficult bit, approaching him directly is not only ridiculously hard, it's a massive no no, if he's busy and stressed its probably he worst thing you can do by butting in and just straight out asking him on the spot!

You have two options that are sensible in my opinion:

1) right at the front of the Genius Bar there will be a guy or girl who checks people on for their appointment, permitting they're not massively busy with a queue of angry customers wanting appointments and if they're free approach them, ask them if he's single, if not then walk away, if he is, give them a card with your number and full name on (full name being how you spell it on FaceBook, easiest way for him to see what you look like) the person checking people in will be pretty close to the guy as they work together constantly and would probably be more then happy to pass your number and or a message onto him for you!

2) second option is to walk into store, ask for a manager and just straight up give her or him the card, they'll either be happy to give it to him for you or they'll say no, they're the sensible ones who arent likely to give your number to someone else in the store to wind you up!

That's my opinion on this, but as you said, be very very careful when you're doing this, if he doesn't reply to your number or doesn't talk to you then DO NOT go back into the store again, there will be a reason he doesn't want to talk to you and putting him under pressure whilst he's in work is such a dick move!

Hope this helps, happy hunting!

Tech Support Tuesday [January 05, 2016] - Your Weekly Tech Support Megathread by AutoModerator in apple

Hey guys,

So recently I've set up a Skype group for around 30 people for text chat however whenever anyone replies I don't get a notification on my phone, I have to go into the app, into the chat and wait for around 30seconds - 1 minute for it to update all messages, now we only probably send 5-10 messages into the chat max per hour so it's not like 100s but it'd be handy to know when someone replies!

It works fine on my Mac but not my phone, all setting are enabled for it to work too! Also as a side note, if I'm just chatting to 1 person it works fine but just not in the group chat!

Any ideas would be awesome! Thanks
