Yeah, I feel the same way whenever a steam game can't use my controller and I actually have to move to my desk chair to play the game.
Hopefully Apple TV will convince more developers to adopt mfi controllers.

It's not dead yet. Louka Desroziers, the developer, has sold it to Julien Sagot, the UI designer of Ecoute, who will keep supporting it.
So a couple of days ago I woke up with an Apple ID password prompt on my phone, which then for whatever reason had me change my password. That's fine, but then ever since then I have been getting "Please sign into Apple ID" notifications randomly. Not when downloading or anything, just randomly. I tried signing in and out of iCloud, iTunes Store, etc but still happens. Any ideas?
Also, does anybody have issues with Slickdeals app? A lot of the times when I click a deal link from there it opens Safari and says like "Url cannot be shown". Super annoying

I'm still having iOS9.x Mail app issues. Particularly with background fetch and notificationsI was waiting for an email last night missed it because the damn app didn't refresh properly
This, and the sneaky background activity, is why I recently switched to the Mailbox app.

I'm on the 9.2 beta and had this happen like 3 times. Stopped doing it a few days ago though.
Hm..I am on 9.2 beta but can't remember if that's when it started. Maybe that's it.

Best I could tell it was happening on mine when I would plug it in to charge. I'm assuming it was trying to back up to iCloud and that's why it was asking for my password. I have no idea why my password didn't stick after the first time I entered it though.

How do I stop the IMDB app from opening, when I browsing the page in my browser? It's really annoying and I can't find the setting for it.
There should be a 'view on IMDB' in the top right corner of status bar that links to website. Tapping it should disable future links from opening in the app

That's really comforting to hear. I jumped to the 6S+, but my 6 was chugging at times on 9.0.

I had read that "read receipts" would be a feature that would be added to Group Messages in iMessages in iOS 9.
Did they ever happen? I don't see a way to turn on the option.

I've found trying to activate it on a spot in-between keys works a bit better, but ya the getting stuck on a letter part is annoying.
Just wondering if anyone here is experiencing issues like in this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/29299669?ac_cid=tw123456#29299669) on their iOS devices after iOS 9.1 like I am.
Basically, after iOS 9.1 for some people, when signed into the iTunes and App Store account we can't download any apps or use Apple Music at all.

My iPhone 5 was on iOS7, and I decided to upgrade it to iOS9 recently. During the first day or two of having iOS9 on my phone, I noticed that all of my photos and notes did not show up immediately on my phone, but they slowly repopulated themselves on my phone after a day.
But then a couple of days later, I looked at my Notes section and noticed that all of my old Notes were gone. I thought it had to do with the small amount of available storage space on my phone (less than 500MB), so I decided to delete 1,000 photos from my phone. But after deleting those photos, the available storage space still shows 500MB, and my old Notes are still nowhere to be seen.
Am I screwed?

You just did an update? Not like a restore of any sort? Have you rebooted again since the upgrade?
How were you syncing/backing up your phone? iTunes or iCloud?

Photos would re-sync via iCloud.
Notes were previously synced via IMAP but that was changed to iCloud so that's probably the reason they're now gone, something may have gone wrong there - depends a bit on how you were syncing notes to begin with (were they Gmail notes or just locally stored on your iOS device etc.).
Yup, just did an update. No restore. When you say "rebooted", do you mean wipe it clean and reset the phone?
I was just backing up via iTunes.
They were locally stored.
Then you might be out of luck, I don't 100% remember the intricacies or if you can somehow salvage old notes.
I do remember that at the time iCloud note syncing was added you opted in to use the new Notes app that then would migrate all your notes over to iCloud. As far as I understand that process is something that now should take place as you upgrade to iOS 9 automatically.

Anyone know of an app that can translate pages in Safari via a Safari Extension? For some reason, Bing Translate no longer works for me. It always says 0%.

Thank you very much. It was really annoying.
A new app, ShareTheMeal, is now available on the App Store. This is a pretty cool charity crowdfunding solution that allows you to donate days worth of food to children in need. It was released by the United Nations, but I can't find much info on efficacy. I donated $3.50 so far (the app says this is seven days worth of food). This is a pretty cool idealike Johnson and Johnson's photo donation app, it is an easy way to raise large amounts of money with minimal effort, by leveraging smartphone use. I hope more apps like this catch on.

1blocker/purify, depends on what you need. Can't go wrong with either.

I was worried that they would use in-app purchasing and be giving Apple 30%, but the app links out to a website for payment so that's good. But isn't that technically in breach of Apple guidelines? Linking out from an app to a website for payment to avoid in-app rev sharing
no, i mean like a restart of the phone (hold down wake and home buttons and keep them held down until apple logo flashes on screen). sometimes helps to clear things up just like a regular computer.
Are the photos you cleared still gone? Does the storage space still show the same amount? Might also want to check the recently deleted folder and clear it.
Other than that, I don't even remember how to parse out what gets backed up in iTunes. It's been a long time since I've done that. I believe that you can pick and choose stuff like Notes when backing up to iCloud, so it's possible that option wasn't checked in your iTunes if they are gone from your backup?
that's not like a digital service or subscription or anything, so i thought that stuff doesn't relate either way?

Well I know on iPhone 6s/+ you can hard swipe from the left to reveal app-switching but you can't have 2 apps open at the same time if that's what you are referring too
Doesn't seem to work on a gen 6 Touch.
It used to be that the other "open" apps would just save their states, do they actually run in the background now?
It's not enabled in all territories yet, just US, UK and a few others. You can enable it by changing your device's region to one of those and then rebooting.
Eh, ok. I'll manage with Reddit Blue and GAF then.

no. iOS has always prioritized power efficiency. multitasking/backgrounding is actually a complex featureset of heavily restricted services and daemons to accomplish critical tasks while the app is not currently running. its gotten a lot better since os4, and overall i think is smart, but it is still counter-intuitive to people familiar with older operating systems. its one of the many things that makes ios feel particularly cumbersome in its current iteration.
PSA: Purify has issues with the Slickdeals app, at least for me.
If I open a shopping link from Slickdeals app, 75% of the time it will load Safari and say "URL cannot be found" and I could not figure out why.
With the new public beta, if you hold the X/Refresh button it brings up the option to load the page without content blockers, and if I do that the page loads fine. Hallelujah

This works in 9.1 as well.
Ok is the split screen on the ipad actual multitasking?

I was so frustrated with how Apple killed their music app removing the functionality I was used too, and a jailbreak is taking too long so I went shopping 3rd party.
I can't believe I didn't know about Marvis, this destroys the stock app in functionality and ease of use.
I'll gladly lay the 0.99 to remove ads, the UI looks great, my quick links to Artists and Albums are back, I can easily swipe right to see more from the album/artist I'm listening too, and the 3D touch easily lets me shuffle my whole library.
