iCloud Keychain

2016-09-19 Thread E.T.
   Decided to enable this. When I do, I am asked for the iCloud 
Keychain security code. I enter one then go to the iPhone to get a code 
from there to enter on the Mac to approve the iPhone. Am again asked for 
the iCloud Keychain security code.


   So now I need to reset it. On the Mac in iCloud prefs I need to 
select the Option button in the table. Nothing happens. I know I am 
missing something somewhere. If I check iCloud Keychain in the table, I 
get the dialog dealing with the iPhone. But if I want to click that 
Options button, I have to interact with the iCloud Keychain item. And 
that gets me nowhere. What now?

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
You’re forgetting one key thing though, T-Mobile floats a lot of stock out 
there and issued blocks recently to raise money for expansion and spectrum.

VZ has a tremendous amount of cash flow but a tremendous amount of debt.  
Remember they had to buy their way out of Votophone.  You’re right though, it 
does help.  You should have seen our lab called building 51 (E.T. should like 
that reference).  We had a whole replication of the VZ network in miniature in 
our building.

I’m not sure if the regulators will allow it but it would be nice for T-Mo to 
buy Sprint and fix that network or at least put that spectrum to better use.  
Unfortunately the dish network burger would probably be more easy to make 
happen, I hope it does not.

Oh I am sure. They have been talking about 5G testing now for sometime I think. 
It seems like that's the one thing Vesey has over everybody. They still have 
the most customers by far, which should mean they have more money than anybody 
to spend on these kinds of improvements. T-Mobile has been doing well. But they 
are still number three in the big race, and you would think that would impact 
of their income over all and thus and their ability to do stuff in the future

 and new modulation schema 64/quad upload and 256/quad download.  
First, 4X4 MIMO allows t-mobile to open twice as many paths to your

 effectively increasing the bandwidth ( radio bandwidth) between your 
 handset and the tower.  This technology is up and running now in over 251 
 cities and quickly being rolled out network wide.
Second, the new modulation scheme means that more bits per frame or 
 transmission are sent at one time.  This upgrade will be fully rolled out 
 across the T-Mobile network by the end of october.  Combined these 
 technologies allow for more cells per tower, faster throughput and the 
 ability to offer truly unlimited services with out worrying about user 
 contention or the need to throttle.  
T-Mobile also announced that it’s network now covers 99.7% of the area

Mary, note the date on that article, it’s the day before iPhone release day.  
They were legally bound not to mention the iPhone at the publishing of that 
article.  The iPhone is in fact one of the up coming phones:).  If you look at 
Apple’s spec sheet you can see that carrier aggregation, LTE advanced and the 
other features are mentioned.  How about that Intel modem?  The qualcomm also 
supports these features but the T-Mobile version definitely does.

2016-09-19 Thread Mary Otten
 Having read the linked article, which specifically mentions Samsung galaxy S7 
and S7 edge, and says it more phones will be available, I note the absence of 
the iPhone seven and 7+. So the question, how will you know if your iPhone 7 
and or 7+ is capable of taking a vantage of all this new stuff?

T-Mobile launches LTE 4X4 MIMO and 64/256 quadrature modulation beating verizon again!

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
For folks who are aware, Verizon just launched LTE advanced or the ability to 
bond carriers.  T-Mobile has had carrier aggregation in the network since 2014 
and with new advances announced this week jumps back in to the lead being over 
2 times faster than verizon with maximum speeds of 400 megabits now available.  
Two key technologies have been released, 4X4 MIMO and new modulation schema 
64/quad upload and 256/quad download.  
First, 4X4 MIMO allows t-mobile to open twice as many paths to your 
handset.  This means that data is now spread on multiple paths per band 
effectively increasing the bandwidth ( radio bandwidth) between your handset 
and the tower.  This technology is up and running now in over 251 cities and 
quickly being rolled out network wide.
Second, the new modulation scheme means that more bits per frame or 
transmission are sent at one time.  This upgrade will be fully rolled out 
across the T-Mobile network by the end of october.  Combined these technologies 
allow for more cells per tower, faster throughput and the ability to offer 
truly unlimited services with out worrying about user contention or the need to 
throttle.  
T-Mobile also announced that it’s network now covers 99.7% of the area 
that Verizon covers and reaches over 312 million users.  Plans continue to not 
only increase coverage but increase cell density to the highest in the industry 
surpassing verizon.  This means more raw capacity and more towers to carry your 
traffic.

Re: I may have possible explanation for the so-called hiss gate

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
Ray, you are way way way off buddy but I see how you arrived at your 
conclusion. Not a bad guess.

The hissing is coil noise.  Let me expand on that for folks not familiar.

Coil noise is a generic electronics term for the sounds that circuits can make 
from electrical resonance.  When an electric current passes through an 
electronic component it can cause that component to vibrate.  The vibration 
will grow louder as more current passes through the circuits.  It doesn’t have 
to be a coil though, any electronic circuit has the potential to resonate.  A 
good example of one you’re all familiar with is the 60 cycle hum that 
transformers make.  Just hold your power adapter to your ear and you’ll hear 
that buzz, that’s coil noise.  
In the specific case of some iPhone 7 and 7+ models some folks hear a 
hiss or high frequency buzz emanating from the area behind the apple on the 
back of the phone.  Hold the apple to your ear if your phone is one doing this 
and you’ll hear the hiss at it’s loudest.  What’s right behind the apple?  The 
A10 processor.  There’s also a voltage regulator right in that area.  It’s said 
that the hiss is the loudest when the phone is under load (heavy computational 
load like a restore, booting, running a ton of apps, etc).  This is because 
more power is pushed through the silicon in the A10 and it actually has a 
resonant frequency in our audio spectrum.  Now, the phones have damping 
materials in them.  THere’s a little drop of glue in there that dampens the 
vibration.  On some phones it’s thought this glue dried out or not enough was 
applied.  Less dampening material = louder resonance or buzz.  Think of a 
tuning fork, if you ring the fork it resonates and vibrates.  If you take your 
hand and grab the end of the fork the note will stop because your hand dampens 
the vibrations.  Same with the glue.  Bottom line, it’s harmless.  Not all 
phones have this.  I won’t even call it a problem as it’s not.  Apple will 
however swap out your phone if it’s to loud.  My phone is not doing this but 
there are examples on line if you want to try to hear the effect.

Hope that clears it up.

Thanks
Scott

I may have possible explanation for the so-called hiss gate

2016-09-19 Thread Ray Foret jr
By now, I’m quite sure all y’all have heard of the latest with the iPhone7+.  
It hisses at you when you push the unit very hard:  that is, according to some. 
 After considering the matter, I have come to the conclusion that I think I 
know what is or may be going on.  I tried this with my iPhone6+ and got results 
that seem to confirm it.  Yes, I heard a hiss, but, I do not believe it’s a 
problem with the phone.  My explanation is this.  If there is a so-called 
“hiss” going on, it’s got to do with the distortion of air movement as it 
passes between the opening of your ear and the smooth flat back of your phone.  
Consider what happens when you put a sea shell to your ear.  You hear what you 
were told as a child is the sound of the ocean:  but actually, it’s nothing 
more than the distortion of air as it passes between the opening of the shell 
and the opening of your ear.  Just as light refracts around objects causing 
shadows, so sound can refract in much the same way.  The poor sighted, who may 
not be used to this femoninon, are confused and believe their iPhone7+’s hiss 
at them when the processers are pushed hard.  What say the rest of y’all 
concerning this explanation?  Remember, the so-called bend Gate was dismissed 
after a while when it was proven not to be so?  I rather expect that this 
so-called “hiss gate” will go much the same way.  Yes, I have seen the youtube 
video and heard what sounded like a hiss:  but, I am convenced that what I 
heard was ambiant room noise.

Re: Alarm Bug in IOS 10.0.1

2016-09-19 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
I can't reproduce this either on an IPhone 6S, an IPhone 6, an IPhone 6+, 
nor an IPad Pro 12 inch.  Come to think of it, I even tried on my mom's IPad 
Air first generation, and wasn't able to reproduce there either.


Are you sure that you haven't possibly accidentally gone under 
Settings>Sound and somehow set your default alarm tone to "None?"  It's 
unlikely, I agree, but I'd still check, just in case.

Re: Networking and Time Capsule

2016-09-19 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Scott is spot on, unless your ISP unit is configured to Bridge mode as in my 
case.  So, with the ISP router in Bridge mode, the Airport Extreme handles all 
the DHCP and Firewall stuff.  Any other devices are either set to extend or as 
a roaming extension depending on how you have things set up.  Anything that is 
connected to your ISP router with an ethernet cable can be configured to the 
same SSID, thus roaming kinds of interaction happens.  Devices that connect 
wirelessly, normally extend the network.

If you go into Airport Utility and check on the Status of your Time Capsules, 
you may be able to determine the issue.  So, in AU, access the Time Capsule, 
then interact with the Scroll area, there should be a Status table there that 
should note the issue.  I expect that it is likely a double NAT issue which 
Scott's suggestion will fix.

Later...

BY time capsule I assume you mean airport router?

Here’s how it should be set up, you should have your ISP router as the head end 
as you do now.  Next, you should set the airports in to bridging mode or as 
access points so you’re not using them to route.  Set the addresses assignment 
to dhcp for the local address for each so your main router can hand them 
addresses.  The big important part here is you make sure routing is disabled 
and they are transmitting your routers network and not forming their own.  Let 
me know if that helps any.  If you detail a bit more how things are connected I 
will be glad to be much more specific.

Thanks

A few questions about IPod/IPhone hardware

2016-09-19 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
OK, I am incredibly advanced of a IHardware user, but this, I willingly 
confess, I really don't know.

A friend of mine, who'll be left unnamed out of respect for them, and I were 
having a very very interesting conversation over Zello, and I thought I'd ask 
you guys in case someone up here knows the exacts.

So, first of all, what type processor is in the  IPod Touch 6th Generation?  Is 
it an A6, or maybe an A7, and am I correct in assuming that the IPod has a bit 
of a slower processor than the IPhone?

Secondly, I know about the keypress of pressing and holding the power and home 
key to do a complete reboot, and I also know about respringing the device by 
rapidly hitting the power button 5 times in very quick succession.  But, my 
question is, what behind the scenes is actually going on hardwarewise when you 
do those, and how do those two commands truly differ.  I mean, I get that 
respringing is basically just kind of like a reboot if you will, where the 
other is like a full power cycle, but specifically what are they literally 
doing back there?  Is one like a memory dump, or what literally happens?  And 
where would one use one over the other?  I know in either case they are mainly 
last resort things, especially the power/home, but I'm not asking if they 
should only be resorted as a last attempt.  I know that much.  I'm asking more 
the specific example scenareos of when one would be used over the other, and 
when done, what is actually then occuring.

Chris.

Re: New IOS released, 10.0.1

2016-09-19 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

As far as I can tell, it's only for the iPhone 7 which likely was sold with a 
earlier iteration of the iOS.  Those of us who updated on or after the public 
release last Tuesday already have 10.01.

Later...

Re: iMessages

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
Is your target using iMessage or is it traditional texting?  If iMessage it 
will appear on all 3, however, if it’s a traditional text message you need to 
enable text forwarding on your other machines.

Let me know if that helps at all.

Re: Networking and Time Capsule

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
BY time capsule I assume you mean airport router?

Here’s how it should be set up, you should have your ISP router as the head end 
as you do now.  Next, you should set the airports in to bridging mode or as 
access points so you’re not using them to route.  Set the addresses assignment 
to dhcp for the local address for each so your main router can hand them 
addresses.  The big important part here is you make sure routing is disabled 
and they are transmitting your routers network and not forming their own.  Let 
me know if that helps any.  If you detail a bit more how things are connected I 
will be glad to be much more specific.

Thanks

Networking and Time Capsule

2016-09-19 Thread Jeff Berwick
Hi all,

Today is my day for messages :)

I have two Time Capsules on my home network and one router from my internet 
provider.  

In the extras bar, it says I have 4 of 4 bars, but my son says that they are 
greyed out and that they have an exclamation mark.  I can ping through my 
network all the way to the ISP’s modem, but can’t get anything outside my home 
through ping or on the internet.  If I move closer to my older Time Capsule, 
everything is fine; however, if I am using my newer Time Capsule, this is when 
I get the problems.  So, I am pretty sure it is something with my newer Time 
Capsule.

This is an intermittent problem.  Any networkers out there have any ideas on 
how I can test/fix this issue?

Thx,
Jeff

Re: Alarm Bug in IOS 10.0.1

2016-09-19 Thread Jeff Berwick
I appreciate your thorough testing.  I only have my one iPhone :( , and have 
run several tests.  The last test I ran seemed to be better, so here is hoping 
that tomorrow morning I wake up on time. :)

Basically, what was happening for me in my tests was that the alarm would turn 
on, then voiceover would say “Alarm” really loud and then the music was 
non-existent.  I wonder if this has anything to do with me using a custom alarm 
noise instead of the standard alarm sounds.

Anyway, let’s hope all is good.

Thanks,
Jeff

iPhone 7: How to force restart, enter Recovery Mode, and enter DFU mode

2016-09-19 Thread Mary Otten
iPhone 7: How to force restart, enter Recovery Mode, and enter DFU mode
9to5Mac  /  Jeff Benjamin


Since the Home button on iPhone 7 isn’t a mechanical button anymore, and is 
instead a capacitive solid-state button controlled by software, it’s no 
surprise that performing hard resets, entering recovery, and entering into DFU 
mode no longer works the same way on iPhone 7.

The good news is that you’ll only need to adopt a new button combination to 
perform each of these tasks. Have a look at our full video walkthrough, and 
we’ll show you how.

How to force restart iPhone 7

To force restart (hard reset) the iPhone 7, press and hold the Sleep/Wake 
button + Volume Down button for 10 seconds. Because of the Home button change, 
it’s been replaced by the Volume Down button during the process.

The side-effect to this method is that the Volume HUD appears on screen each 
time you wish to force restart the iPhone 7. Not a big deal, but not as 
“clean-looking” as in the past.

How to get into Recovery Mode on iPhone 7

Step 1: Connect your iPhone 7 to your Mac or PC with a Lightning to USB cable.

Step 2: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button until 
the screen turns off. Continue holding the Sleep/Wake button + Volume Down 
button, even after you see the Apple logo appear.

Step 4: Release the Sleep/Wake + Volume Down button once you see the Connect to 
iTunes message appear on the iPhone 7’s screen.

Step 5: Launch iTunes, and you should see a message stating that “There is a 
problem with the iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored.”

How to get into DFU mode on iPhone 7

Getting into DFU mode, as you can probably guess, also requires a change.

Step 1: Connect your iPhone 7 to your Mac or PC with a Lightning to USB cable.

Step 2: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button 
simultaneously for 10 seconds.

Step 3: Release the Sleep/Wake button while continuing to hold the Volume Down 
button for 10 additional seconds. Unlike Recovery Mode, which presents a 
Connect to iTunes message on the screen, the iPhone 7’s screen will remain 
blank while in DFU mode.

Step 4: Launch iTunes, and you should see a message stating that “iTunes has 
detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can 
be used with iTunes.”



The Volume Down button takes on an additional role on iPhone 7

How to exit Recovery mode or DFU mode on iPhone 7

As long as there are no issues with your iPhone, getting out of Recovery Mode 
or DFU Mode is easy.

Step 1: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button 
simultaneously until you see the Apple logo appear (or the connect to iTunes 
message disappear when in Recovery Mode). You iPhone should boot back to the 
Lock screen.

Although there is no longer a mechanical Home button on the latest iPhone, it’s 
still relatively easy to force restart, enter Recovery Mode, and enter DFU mode 
by strategically wielding the Volume Down button + Sleep/Wake button 
combination.

What you do is press the button the same way and the pop up for the power off 
option will appear.  Stop holding then.  It’s a more than 3 second hold to call 
the authorities.

 Just so you know, if you need to test 911 services you can legally very

 What we do in the phone game if we’re going to test 911 on the service or 
 a new customer install which we have to do is dial 911 first, tell the 
 operator you’re testing some communications equipment for the next X 
 minutes and please do not dispatch the call or dedicate any time to them.  
 Then when you do the test you again say that you’re testing per your last 
 call, the test is successful and there will be no more testing.  Then they 
 put you back in to a normal state where they will respond.  Note *** Note 
 ***  Highly important, you can not call 911 and hang up first before 
 someone answers.  Your address and other data is still sent to the 911 
 operator and they will dispatch calling it a repeated 911 call with no 
 answer from X location.  You’ll have police show up guns drawn.  I learned 
 this one the hard way. Luckily I provided phone service to the sheriff’s 
 department in our county and they new me.:)  What you might also want to 
 do first is call the non emergency number for your local police and ask if 
 there’s a special procedure for testing E911 services.  If not just do 
 what I said above and you’ll be in the clear and won’t have any problems.  
 Also note that the SOS service does work around the world and the 
 replacement for 911 in the host country will automatically be selected, 
 999 for the UK and so forth.
 
 Happy dialing.

 before the call completes and 5 minutes later police are pulling up in 
 your parking lot looking for the guy calling 911. haha

Hi,

No problem.  I hope that you don't mind that I'm slow at responding sometimes.  
Too many things going on.  Anyway, whether it's the cmd-r or the cmd-option-r, 
you only need to hold it down for about 3 or 4 seconds.  As soon as the Startup 
Chime sounds, press the key combination.  Hold it down for the 3 to 4 seconds 
and release.  The wait is after the release.  If the cmd-r works, it's likely 
ready in about one minute if your Mini has an SSD and probably 2 to 3 minutes 
if your Mini has a spinning HD.  If using the cmd-option-r, which starts up 
from Apple's servers off in Internet-land, then the wait is usually much longer 
before VO is ready to talk.  Again, no need to hold down the key combination 
for more than the 3 to 4 seconds.

RE: Alarm Bug in IOS 10.0.1

2016-09-19 Thread M. Taylor
Jeff,

Try as I may, I could not reproduce your findings.  

I ran over 10 tests using 4 iPhones running iOS 10.01.  I have enough vision to 
use iPhone, for extremely short periods of time, without VoiceOver so was able 
to perform simultaneous tests comparing the native Clock app volume levels.  I 
ran the tests using 2 iPHone 6 Plus devices, an iPhone 5 S, and an iPhone 6 S 
Plus.  One of the phones was purchased from A T & T Wireless, one from Verizon 
Wireless, one from Sprint, and one from T-Mobile.

In each test, the volume level of the Alarm, was consistent, regardless of 
whether VoiceOver was enabled or disabled.

Just so you know, I tested  with the Mute button enabled/disabled, and also 
tested with the Do not Disturb feature enabled/disabled.

In all of my tests, the devices were set to alarm at the same time so it was 
very easy for me to compare volume levels.  

Finally, it should be noted that I rebooted these devices several times and ran 
tests without rebooting them.  In every scenario I setup, the Clock Alarm 
performed just as expected, either with or without VoiceOver.

I really tried my best to locate your bug but, as far as I can tell, it does 
not exist; at least, not that I could detect.

Happy Hunting,

Mark

Hi all,

I think I’ve discovered a bug in IOS 10.0.1 using Voiceover and the Alarm app.  
Unfortunately, I ended up sleeping in and missing my bus/train this morning.

Can anybody confirm thet the alarm sound drops out or doesn’t play at all when 
Voiceover is running?  I have also tried it with the mute button set and I 
think that causes a problem too.

Assuming we can recreate this bug, how do I submit this to Apple as I’ve never 
submitted one before.

Thx,
Jeff

Re: Installing a fresh copy of El Capitan on my Mac mini

2016-09-19 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

The cmd-r needs to be down as the Startup Chime is sounding.  It will usually 
take a minute or two before VO is available.  It's possible though that your 
system got corrupt in the last attempt.  In that case, use cmd-option-r 
instead.  This will start your Mac up from the Internet.  It may take longer 
for VO to come up in this situation.  So, give it some extra time.

Re: Installing a fresh copy of El Capitan on my Mac mini

2016-09-19 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

That's not normal behaviour.  Try pressing cmd-q to Quit the installer.  See 
what it says.  You may need to start over since there was such a long time 
between the initial installation startup process and the Apple ID entry.  
Usually shouldn't matter, but you should also be seeing a progress thing by now.

I think it’s starting to install, wait a few minute and let us know if that

And we’re glad to help, this list might get chatty and rough here and there but

Hey everyone. Mark gave me permission to post the following message. I'm doing 
a pre-recorded show entitled Accessibility Matters which will air every week on 
a local radio station called 95.9 CKUW. This show talks about accessibility, 
its issues and its positives. Next week I'm going to be recording a show with a 
friend reviewing MacOS Sierra and iOS 10. Unfortunately, none of us has an 
Apple Watch or Apple TV 4th gen so we can't review WatchOS 3 or TVOS 10. That's 
where you come in. If you'd like to come on the show and do a review for those 
products, email me off list or direct message the show on Twitter 
@accmattersradio with your Skype ID and we'll take it from there. At this time, 
we don't know when the episode will air, so stay tuned to the above Twitter 
account for more information. Archives for the show will be available at

the show.

Reinstall I think drops the install over the top of the old one if the
disk
isn’t cleared first, this may have changed more recently but the above
is
the steps I take to be sure the disk is clean.

Hi,

Yes it does have the FN key.  It's located where the Insert key usually is on a 
Windows keyboard.  So, the top left of the group of six keys where the Home, 
End, Page Up, Page Down and Forward Delete, just above the Forward Delete key.

Hi,

Hold down your FN key at the same time as the VO keys.  Sometimes, if your 
keyboard settings are set to have the Function keys behave in a specific 
manner, the FN key is required along with this key combination.

 If you boot in recover mode it will either download what it needs or

 Everything you need should be already inlace or automatic. YOu’ll use

 Good luck and do let us know if you have any further questions.

Re: Off topic but i hope you folks in New York and New Jersey are ok and keeping your heads down

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
Ricardo, put very well and a lot more articulate than me.  I agree with you.

In the end though by that bench mark they all failed.  The war thing has been a 
problem for a long long time.

You have said it well though.

And btw buddy, watch your backside down there in the big city.  I’m not sure 
how far that was from you but I remember thinking when I saw it hoping you were 
doing ok.  I suppose it’s probably a bit like when I lived in California my 
mother would call me and ask if I was ok if anything happened in the state and 
inevitably it was always 800 miles away or something:) but still was hoping you 
stay safe.

Hi Scott,

I think its hard to gage a president while still in office. Often, the things 
they do or don’t do aren’t noticeable for years after they’ve left the post.

In Obama’s case, I would hardly say he took over with every thing smelling like 
roses. lol. Like in the case of George W. Bush, 9-11 landed in his lap, and he 
didn’t have the hype of the dot come boom to dease him a long like Clinton did.

In short, I think Presidents are often judged way too harshly, or put on too 
high a pedestal, like Reagan in my opinion. lol.

In my opinion, the best or worse a president  can do is keep us in or out of 
war, depending on the situation. Every thing else, especially domestically? Has 
to do with which side of the isle is running congress at the time, and how 
obstructionist, or helpful they are in pushing through the presidents agenda.

Well remember, I like neither option, I’m a libertarian and Gary Johnson is my 
choice even if he doesn’t know what an Allepo  is?  :)
 

I’d rather be waterboarded though than vote for Hillary, in fact if she wins I 
may move.  A lot of people say that but I’m considering it.

2016-09-19 Thread Blee Blat
Thanks for that. I think I'll order those because they stock replacement cables 
and ear pads. Streaming music is great for tuning out unreasonable people lol 
I'm glad iTunes updated that. I did notice that the more things you add to the 
sidebar the slower  iTunes is to respond to things.
 It's kind of a shame they don't have a setting to disable artwork. I'd think 
that might get you a performance boost.

Re: Off topic but i hope you folks in New York and New Jersey are ok and keeping your heads down

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
Jimmy Carter absolutely sucked as a president.  He had one one of the highest 
inflation periods, completely screwed up the middle east and is a much better 
former president than president.  Only Obama is worse at this point.  He did a 
lot of good (carter that is) though post presidency with things like habitat 
for humanity.

Hillary is a criminal, liar and a gun grabbing fraud.  At least people will 
work under trump and we’ll get out of this imbalanced trade situation.  I like 
none of the major candidates to be clear I was hoping for Gary Johnson but 
Hillary and her ilk are the same mindset as the jack asses in England who 
wanted to subjugate the british people to the will of the Germans.  And we 
won’t talk about the uranium that Hillary stole from America and gave to Russia 
do to foundation donations and or the sale of political and government 
positions through the same foundation.  No thank you.

We’re screwed either way, I think that’s the only way to look at it.  I would 
just rather the clintons not get rich over the screw job any more.

Hey, of course he will go on another wild rant because he actually doesn't 
want the job!


That is what most of us over here believe.

So what are you left with?  Hilary?


As a blind Scottish guy I don't really know or understand much about 
American politics, but I really did like Jimmy Carter!  I Know I still like 
him if he's still doing all that voluntary work.



As for Donald:  Give up an empire to become the president of the USA.  Don't 
think so.





Very best wishes and kind regards
Andy Logue.

That business about mail list is not for just blind people. It's there for 
everybody. And it is there to make it easy to unsubscribe from things. Have you 
ever tried to unsubscribe from a mail list and had to dig through bunches of 
pages once you got to the website that they sent YouTube to unsubscribe? If so, 
you wouldn't regard this as fluff. Just saying.

No alarm heard here.
Maybe somebody needs to work harder on basics in the accessibility playground 
and drop the superfluous fluff, such as Mail headings telling blind listers 
that a selected message comes from a mail list.  Maybe blind can't tell that a 
mail message comes from a mail list that they signed on to; or use alarms for

Re: How are you guys liking the new version of ITunes?

2016-09-19 Thread Mary Otten
 Hi Simon,
Obviously, the sound is a subjective thing. But Bowers and Wilkins has been one 
of my favorite speaker companies for a very long time. The thing that's really 
great about these headphones, the wired ones, I don't have the other ones, is 
for one thing how they fit. They are one of the very few headsets I can wear 
for a very long time without any discomfort on my ears or the sides of my face. 
They are just that comfortable. The sound is really really good, even if you 
don't have a headphone amplifier. I have another set of very nice headphones 
from AKG which are also very good, but without a headphone amp, they kind of 
art so great, because they just need more  to drive them then the little amps 
in phones have.  The new pair of P7, being wireless, will work with the new 
iPhone 7 without any problem. But it will be Bluetooth. And Bluetooth audio is 
something of a step down. But these also come with a cable which you can 
connect. So, if you have another device that will utilize a headphone jack, 
then you got that too. The new ones, judging from the reviews, sound even 
better than the original wired variant. Supposedly, there is a bit more base. I 
don't find mine bass shy, but I am also not a big listener of rap or other bass 
heavy music. Smile.
Mary

Re: Alarm Bug in IOS 10.0.1

2016-09-19 Thread Rachel Feinberg
The alarm does seem to be a lot quieter since iOS 10 came around. If you're 
testing with the beta app, find the Feedback app and activate it. You'll have a 
chance to title your report, choose which category your report falls under, 
like accessibility, and so on. Then, you'll have a place to write out the bug 
and how they can reproduce it.
Thanks,
Rachel.

Alarm Bug in IOS 10.0.1

2016-09-19 Thread Jeff Berwick
Hi all,

I think I’ve discovered a bug in IOS 10.0.1 using Voiceover and the Alarm app.  
Unfortunately, I ended up sleeping in and missing my bus/train this morning.

Can anybody confirm thet the alarm sound drops out or doesn’t play at all when 
Voiceover is running?  I have also tried it with the mute button set and I 
think that causes a problem too.

Assuming we can recreate this bug, how do I submit this to Apple as I’ve never 
submitted one before.

Thx,
Jeff

Re: Using Braille display to type text on iphone

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Davert
Hi Stacey.
It's not a bug, but a feature that came out with iOS 9 something or
other. other than setting up an autotext where you enter some random
combination of 2 or 3 letters/numbers, I don't think you can insert
line breaks in to text messages any longer with a braille display. I
never really utilized the feature in texting anyway, so haven't missed
it, so maybe someone else has found a better work around.

 Hi,
 
 I'm still such a novice when it comes to using a Braille display in iOS.  
 When I land on a text box like an address field in Safari on my iphone, I 
 am not really sure how to deal with it.  I type in the url but then I 
 can't seem to get out of the text input box to activate the "go" button.  
 It happens to me in other text fields to like for instance, when replying 
 to an email.  What do I miss?  Is there a more comprehensive description 
 somewhere how to use a braille display to type text on iOS device?
 
 Many thanks for any tips.
 
 Andrew

How did you download Sonos Controller for Mac?

2016-09-19 Thread Donna Goodin
Morning, all,

I'm trying to download the Sonos Controller for Mac.  It's not in the app 
store, and when I go to the Sonos site, the links for downloads are unlabeled, 
so I can't figure out which one to click on.  How did the rest of you get Sonos 
Controller for your Mac?
TIA,
Donna

Re: New IOS released, 10.0.1

2016-09-19 Thread Donna Goodin
Scott,

It was the same thing here.  The 7 I got on Friday, was running 10.0.  I 
wondered about that, but thought that perhaps that was the last approved 
release before they shipped the phone (I'm not a beta tester.)  this morning, 
10.01 showed up.

Re: should those of us running the GM candidate get the new mac OS when it is out?

2016-09-19 Thread Scott Granados
I don’t think you’ll see an update made available because you already have the 
same version in place now.  The gold master is what’s released today.  That’s 
how I understand it anyway.  On IOS release day I had no update because the 
current version was already in place, I’d assume this should be the same.

Thanks

Google TTS has had some performance problems in the past but the thing with

RE: How are you guys liking the new version of ITunes?

2016-09-19 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Mary,

If 400 USA dollars,

In NZ probably a lot more.

I’d like to know what’s so good about this model of headphones?

David, the BMW P7 is now out as a wireless set. It will cost you $400 US. The 
wired variety have been reduced to $350 US. I have no clue what they cost in 
Australia.

I think the most recent version of iTunes is a slight improvement over what

not coming back. In terms of headphones, if you have the money, check out the B

Hi,

 My iPhone 6s+ is already running the IOS 10.0.1  but this I think was what 
installed last week as the IOS 10 update from 9.3.x

And just checking there is no other current update I can see.

 What was your 7 running prior to the current update.
