Play chess with others over iPhone?

On websites like RedHotPawn.com, I can play chess with others in a "correspondence" fashion. I.e. I login to the website and see that my opponent has made a move. I then make a move. My opponent will then make a move when convenient (i.e. this is not real-time, but it works well and is fun).
I would like to do this from an iPhone when I buy one. I'm guessing I can just hit that website from my iPhone, but was wondering if there was a more iPhone-specific offering that anyone knew of.
I guess ideally a website like RHP would detect the user's device and create a webpage acccordingly?
I'm interested in any info anyone may have to offer.
Thanks,
Ron

As long as the website you normally play on doesn't require a plug-in like flash player then you should be able to navigate too and use it on the iphone. You can also check the iphone section of this website and see if there are any chess webapps that you can play over the network, there probably are some.

  • We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)?   What vendor should we use to make it push and work well?  We want to stay with Apple Mail.

    Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain.   iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail.   Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/  a lot more expensive?

    Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

  • Computer freezes upon playing itunes with other programs open!!!

    When I run itunes with only a few other programs open, such as internet explorer, my computer completely freezes and will not even allow the ctrl/alt/delete shutdown. This problem also occurs when I have been running itunes by itself for a few songs. My itunes library is about 13Gb in size and is organized by itunes (i.e. through the preferences option) in ACC format. My computer is fully cabable of handling the requirements of this program - or so I thought - with an 80Gb hard drive and 512RAM. My suspicion from looking at the task manager, however, is that itunes is a RAM hog taking up an average memory usage of 40,000 to 45,000 K. My computer is not at all prone to freezing and operates like a dream without itunes running. For starters, how do I fix this problem so that I might keep itunes? Some additional logistics of my problem are listed below and I hope they are of help in solving this problem, but I partially suspect that this issue stems from my large quantity of songs organized by itunes because it didn't freeze when my music file size was smaller (i.e. 4Gb) Thanks.
    -I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime.
    -I have tried msconfig, but too many possibilities present themselves for a potential program inhibitor.
    -Firewall and Antivirus software by symmantec.
    -Have Divx, but doubt this to be the problem because it was installed after.
    -Have been getting very depressed that this is such a problem.
    -I don't want to lose itunes, but am running out of options.

    iTUnes, in basic terms, does not play nice with the "Fast user switching" feature in windows turned on. THis feature (If memory serves me right) is automaticly turned on in windows when you create another user account. to turn it off, goto control panel>user accounts>change the way users log on and off.

  • If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with others?

    If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with Pages amd Numbers apps and let me access SkyDrive, DropBox, Box and so on?  Or am I stuck with the lame iWork?

    Whether Apple will ever support direct connections to any of the other cloud services is something no one here knows or can say. You can comment to Apple on the matter here, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    For now, there is a workaround for DropBox by using an intervening service and the Copy to WebDAV option. Whether there's a similar option for other services I don't know. Otherwise, the only option is sharing via email or synchronzation via iCloud.
    Regards.

  • Having a party - How can we play music from other people iPhones using apple tv?

    We are having a party and want people to be able to play music from their own iphones/ipods using our apple tv. is this possible?

    either mirror the iphone on to your apple tv or when they are logged into your internet via wifi. If they open their Itunes, the airplay button should appear for them. Just make sure they are connected to your network.

  • My iBook constantly wants to play Chess with me!!

    I have a G4 iBook that is a few years old now. It still works great but can be a little slow sometimes and the battery doesn't last long when it's not plugged into the wall. But get this: I will be working along on the laptop on the internet or iTunes and the Chess application will open on it's own! It's been happening for some time now. I thought it was just a little quirk and ignored it. Lately it's been happening a lot. Sometimes the application will open, I will close it, and then right away it will open again. Sometimes when I've had enough I will just leave it open and continue working on other stuff, and the application will come to the front above my browser or whatever I'm working on. Chess isn't in my dock so I'm not clicking on it accidentally. It seems to happen when I use my mouse more. Pretty weird, and sometimes I get creeped out by it. Does my iBook just want to play a game with me?

    Hi again,
    I was going to suggest that you quit the process; see how it goes. If the 'perp' did his job properly, though, it will probably restart next time you reboot. Keep your eye on it.
    Are you able to select the 'Firewall' tab in System Preferences>Sharing? If you get the spinning beachball for a time followed by a pop-up telling you that the Firewall is being managed/controlled (I forget the exact wording, it's been a long time...) someone may have installed a firewall management app like NetbarrierX, Flying Buttress, etc. which would have allowed them to open ports of their choosing unbeknown to you.
    Without disclosing anything that could further compromise your security could you elaborate on the 'protected network' and who set it up?
    You say: "I'm not entirely sure I want to uninstall it because the Chess mystery isn't too annoying." The chess thing is only a very small part of it, whoever set up the VNC could be seeing everything that you are doing on the computer. You might like to check the tower for applevncserver too... (VNC stands for Virtual Network Client, that should tell you something.)
    Have fun and take care! Someone is watching you.

  • Last Played tagging with iPod on iPhone 3GS

    Thanks to Allan and Spaceman Spliff for their useful advice on my previous question.
    I have another one, and one that has bugged me quite a bit since getting the iPhone. Whenever I use the iPod on the iPhone, I get no Last Played tagging. Let me see if I can be clearer. If I use the iPhone as an iPod (at the gym, say) and then take it to work and look at the Last Played tags, there aren't any. It's as if the iPhone/iPod does not put any Last Played tags. The tags work if I play the iPhone/iPod songs through a computer, but not if I use the standalone iPhone/iPod. I use Last.FM to scrobble my songs, and if there are no tags, there are no scrobbles.
    Thanks,
    Toni

    I definitely see this with podcasts. It's harder to be sure with AAC files.
    I believe this is a fairly longstanding bug.
    It's extremely annoying. It does mess up my smart playlists.

  • Can one button type play nicely with others?

    So, I'm creating this nice little movie that has 5 or so
    buttons on it (think: click on image to see painting, like a
    gallery) and I've got four of the buttons working nicely with a
    little help from my friend Actionscript 3.0 (eventListener and his
    friend gotoAndStop and some others). These buttons go to a new
    keyframe in the movie that contain the images for each button.
    Relatively easy.
    My question concerns the last button. This button wants
    information (text) to pop-up or go away when clicked irrespective
    of what frame the movie is on. I can't for the life of me figure
    out how to get this done. And in a related question, is it possible
    for this button to stay in it's down state until clicked again
    (like a pause/play button on a music player)?
    Sorry in advance for this lame question and thanks for any
    input.

    Either create a movieclip with text and control its
    visibility with the button, or have a textfield and assign/remove
    text.
    You cannot make a button hold a state when mouse events
    change for it. You can either create a movieclip version of it and
    control where it is in its own timeline, or have two buttons, one
    drawn for the normal state and one drawn for the down state, and
    control their visibility between each each on clicking them....
    click one, it makes the other visible and itself invisible,
    etc.

  • How do use my iPad iMessage to contact with other country iPhone iMessage?

    My friend is using iMessage all the time with singapore number, but when I imesage her with my iPad in Malaysia, the button Send alway in grey color. If I using my iPad send iMessage to my friend's iPhone with malaysia number, it is able to send. Any solution for that?

    I can add people into my contact list, if I want to send an iMessage, I couldnt save her/his name and contact number into Contact list first. After iMessage sent successfully then can only save his/her into my contact list. This is the way I done yesterday.

  • My shared folder doesn't play well with others.

    On work iMac I do a lot of development work on multiple Windows virtual machines running on a local Win-server thru MS Remote Desktop Connection. My intent is to use a shared folder on my iMac (w/ TimeMachine back-up) to store files worked on using these virtual machines (they are not routinely backed up).
    Get Info shows share folder checked with Read & Write privileges to Me, admin, & everyone.
    When opening file from virtual machine using a MS Office app' documents open in 'Read Only' mod. If I try to Save-As the same filename, I'm locked out and have to return to iMac Get Info and then Apply to all enclosed items.    :-(
    How can I make this work the way I want?

    You need to provide more information.
    What do you mean the Mac "locks up"? Macs typically just see the network and connect and PCs do too.
    I would not think it is virus or trojan causing the problem.
    Have you checked your Belkin router's settings?
    How is your network set up ? What can you tell us?
    How about your Network preferences on the Mac?
    tell us more.
    What happens if the Mac is connected and then you turn on the PC? What happens?

    Ok, I'm a 3G user and just updated to 3.0,Im pretty excited about the new Bluetooth protocalls.
    When I tried to connect to a coworkers blackberry my iPhone reconized it but wouldn't connect,
    can anyone tell me why thnx?
    So alittle discourged I try to connect with a friends iPhone, and couldn't even found the device.
    Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong??
       

    You cannot connect to other phones for things like file sharing. The peer to peer is for apps so you can do things like play games with other iPhones or share data from a supported app to another supported app.

  • Can i text international from one iphone to another iphone over wifi with other friends who will be with us overseas?

    can i text international from one iphone to another iphone over wifi with other friends that have iPhones
    who will be with us overseas?

    Yes, if you are provisioned by your carrier to do so.  IF both phones are iphones with IOS 5.0 or higher then you can use imessage.

  • Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) all of my music wiped off my phone.  Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G? Any ideas?

    Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5, 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) almost all of my music has vanished from my phone (weirdly some hasn't).
    Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G (all tracks greyed out), though my network settings etc are all set correctly.
    Lastly since upgrading to iOS 7.0.1 (and beyond) Genuis has become effectively useless: it continually asks me to connect to wi-fi, and if I do it creates playlists mostly composed of tracks by the same artists or those very obviously linked to them- previously it created brilliant, nuanced playlists.
    Are these things connected, and how do I fix them?

    I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
    The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
    The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
    Just about time to dump apple I think!

  • I put iPod on "songs, shuffle" but the shuffle isn't random!  Same artist repeats often, same songs repeat before other songs are played.  With over 2000 songs on the iPod, I shouldn't be getting repeats very often.  Anybody else?

    Shuffle is not perfect. What you are experiencing is normal.
