Autoscroll on Ipad

Is auto scroll available for iPad. I can't see anything on my settings to make it work?
Must be a dumb ass kiwi maybe. Lol.Plse help ta

I'm having the same problem, there is no auto scroll on the right of the song page, I'm using an iPad.   Nothing to do with iPad settings.

Isn't it bit patronising labelling people "Junior Member" as a welcome to the site? What's that about? Like anyone new here is just a kid! Silly that Chordie.

I was in my early 60's when I first found Chordie. I was flattered to be titled a 'Junior Member' and in the all the years I have been active on this Forum this is the first time that I have seen any adverse comments about the 'Junior' title.

In the real world it is quite normal to be titled 'Junior'. Do doctors object after they have completed all their years of training to be titled a 'Junior Doctor' when he/she starts work? Does a 'Junior Doctor' think he/she is a kid? I think you are being a little over sensitive.

Please stick around and earn your 'Member' and 'Honoured Member' titles.

so wigster, if your unlikely to post 100 posts like the 3 you've done, what is the problem? the forum is for chordie members to discuss stuff in a nice way. also to ask and recieve help in matters musical or computer stuff. i'm in my 60's also and i dont understand a lot of the tech-talk so i just get on with what i know. if the autoscroll works on your laptop why not just use that?

chordie is here for all even the ones that are here to take and not give back

Thank You Wigster for getting us back on topic.....

I just kinda stumbled onto this thread and have been looking around to figure out why it's not working for you.  First off I haven't been a iOS user since I retired my Mac Classic some 20 years ago, but I do have a Techie on staff that knows stuff pretty well from having to make iPads play well with other systems as an IT Manager with the local School District (yeah that's my boy).  Anyway there are a couple things we need to know in order to assist in figuring your problem out.

Did it used to work and now doesn't?  Or has it never worked?  What interface (browser) are you using to access chordie or are you using the iPad Chordie App?  Are you using an Ad Blocker and/or Anit-virus software and if so what?

I can say, that us Windows users and I use Linux as well do not seem to have the problem.... and the way it looks from our perspective is that the bb software used by Chordie does not send scripts to our software or hardware to enable or disable the auto scroll function, but rather sends a request to the host site and translates/displays it here in the Chordie window.

The iPad App my function differently actually calling on the auto scroll to enable on the hardware display platform.  If so there would have to be a command sent requesting it, and if those requests were not allowed (as in a security setting) , yeah it wouldn't work and it may not even display as an option on the page.  Is it there and simply not functioning?

With a bit more info, I'll get him on the line and we'll try to get it sorted for you...... you can't be the only one out there with this issue.

Thanks;

Hi Wigster,

Yup I too have heard a rumour about an iPhone App, and what I heard is that it is the same app that works on the iPad as well, but as mentioned, I am "stupid" about apples other than the ones in my orchard.  Spoke briefly with Devon (the kid...actually 30 but it's relative) and we kinda tossed around a few ideas.  The auto scroll function on the webpage on Chordie functions as a javascript call to the browser, so knowing that you are using Chrome is helpful as it should show up providing you have not disabled java in your browser preferences.  Some do and it can be set with an update without notifying you of the change which could explain why some folks used to see it and not now.  The iPad/iPhone functions seem to have some differences depending on if your device reports itself as a mobile or desktop device. But as neither of us has one to play around with, it is just guesswork for the moment.  We did peek into the code here on Chordie to see if there were any clues to lead us to something internal that may have excluded your device and there seems nothing untowards in there, although there would be nothing we could do to change it if there were, except note and report the bug up the ladder.

As For the Chordie App, it may be referenced on the resources page (although I have not looked yet) and if so you might give it a try.  As Pete suggested, check your settings and be sure that your device identifies itself as a mobile agent, which might correct the whole mess from the onset.  I'll call Devon and we'll include the information you provided in our discussion and see what pops out.

Sorry about the anti-virus reference.... don't use one on linux either, but we have a secure firewall that does a pretty good job of locking out all that bad stuff.... and I'm usually a Windows kinda guy living in a Windows kinda world.

PS: The version of Chrome for the iPad doesn't run the full blown java engine and may not be handling the script, so you might try the Safari or Coast browser to see what happens (as an experiment).  DS

I have heard alot of negitive about Google Chrome,try it without it. You might try too go get the nearest 5yr old too fix it for you.

Thanks for checking back in Wigster.  Did you try the Safari Browser to see if it worked?  I'm still kinda leaning towards something preventing the java script from loading/running...... particularly as it is also working properly on the Kindle.

Also have been hearing about some issues with the iOS-8 upgrade not working as intended..... echoes of Microsoft in the early days of Vista.

Take Care;

Sorry buddy, Silk is an Amazon only Browser designed to function only on their hardware.  Part of it is in the way it splits workload between software and hardware functions in an effort to speed things up. 

Also sorry that the Safari experiment did not work for you either, had hopes it would.  Don't have any bright ideas on what to try next, but perhaps the new update will correct flaws in the previous version and the scroll will magically reappear.

Fingers Crossed;
