Re: Your Apple ID is being used...

[sandi sørensen]

Hi,i have a more thanusual hard time following this one, let me by all means 
explain.
Have i think at the time of writing ,iPhone IPad, and god may know how many 
computers, okay, lets be realistic 10, all signed in to the same Apple ID.
Of course the first time I signed in with a new device, i got a notice across 
all the other ones signed in, telling me that my Apple ID was being used, and 
on which model.
That only happened once however.
So either you have a lot of toys, and in that case you should consider your 
self blessed, or you have another setting than i do.
All of this confusion could also do to me being more airheaded or blonder than 
usual :d i kinda doubt the last part though,
Sandie

How to Force Restart iPhone X

[M. Taylor]

OS X Daily - Friday, November 17, 2017 at 11:41 AM
How to Force Restart iPhone X
 
If you need to force restart an iPhone X you will need to learn a new method, 
because Apple has changed how you force reboot iPhone X compared to prior 
iPhone models. This is partially because the iPhone X no longer has a Home 
button, so the longstanding method of forced rebooting is no longer possible 
with iPhone X.
Now with iPhone X, you will force restart the device by using a series of 
button presses instead. This tutorial will detail exactly how you can initiate 
a forced restart, sometimes called a hard reboot, of iPhone X.

The sequence is a little strange at first mostly because it’s different, 
breaking the habit you may have developed with force rebooting earlier iOS 
devices, but once you get the hang of it you will be able to force restart 
iPhone X almost as quickly as you could earlier devices. You’ll also need to be 
sure you press the buttons in the proper order as described, otherwise the 
iPhone X will not force restart.
How to Force Reboot iPhone X
You must press the buttons in sequential order for iPhone X to force restart, 
the first two buttons are pressed and then released, and the final button is 
held until the force reboot occurs. Here’s how it works:
1.  Press Volume Up, then release
2.  Press Volume Down, then release
3.  Press and hold the Power / Lock button on the right side of iPhone X
4.  Continue to hold the Power / Lock / Side button until the  Apple logo 
appears on screen of iPhone X
 
It may feel like it takes a while to see the  Apple logo appear on screen, but 
once you do see it you will know you have successfully forced the iPhone X to 
restart.
Remember, you must follow the proper order of pressing the buttons to force 
reboot iPhone X, if it fails then just start over and try again.
If you try and press the buttons concurrently you’ll likely either take a 
screenshot on iPhone X or initiate the Emergency Calling feature, neither of 
which you are likely trying to do if you simply want to force the iPhone to 
restart. The proper way is: Up, Down, hold Power.
This is yet another evolving change in the iOS world, but it turns out that 
force restarting iPhone X with the new button sequence is actually also how you 
force reboot an iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, though it is different from force 
restarting iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which is also different from forcibly 
rebooting iPhone 6s, 6, 5, 4, and iPad models with clickable Home buttons. With 
the steps changing on several occasions, perhaps we’ll see another change with 
forced restarts on iOS devices down the road, time will tell.
 
Oh and by the way, you can also preform a regular reboot of iPhone X by simply 
turning it off and back on again. You can do that with the Power/Volume button 
press, or with the method that works on all modern iOS versions by turning off 
the iPhone or iPad via Settings, without using the Power button and then simply 
turning it back on again.

iPhone X: How to not accidentally call 911

[M. Taylor]

9to5Mac - Friday, November 17, 2017 at 8:38 AM
iPhone X: How to not accidentally call 911

Have you accidentally started to call 911 with your iPhone X? I have.
Whether you’re just wondering how the feature works or want to make you
don’t make an emergency call by mistake (again), follow along.

The iPhone X has a lot of great new features, and along with them are new
ways to navigate with gestures and other changes with the Home button-less
device.
One particular change that many need to adjust to are the new ways you can
use the side button (previously sleep/wake button). Because of the various
functions of pressing the side button and the volume buttons and the larger
size of the side button, it can be easy to accidentally call 911.
How to not accidentally call 911
The default setting for iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus with iOS 11 has the
‘Auto Call’ for Emergency SOS turned on. This means that if you hold down
the side button and either of the volume buttons and continue holding, the
911 call will be placed automatically.
The way I’ve accidentally done this has been when I’m trying to lower the
volume on my X, but am also unintentionally also pressing the side button as
well. So, the first option is to just get used to the larger side button
make sure to avoid hitting it when changing the volume.
Fortunately, the default Countdown Sound that is turned on is so loud that
you’ll get a couple of seconds to let go of the buttons (or tap cancel)
before placing the call.
The other option to avoid accidentally calling 911 is to turn off the Auto
Call feature. To do this head to Settings → Emergency SOS → Auto Call.

Turning this feature off still lets you make an SOS call, but after you
invoke the Emergency SOS screen (by pressing and holding the side button and
a volume button), you’ll have to manually slide to SOS slider to place the
call. The Auto Call feature is also independent of the option to rapidly
clicking the side button 5 times for a 911 call, which can be turned off in
the same settings as well.
You’ll also notice that once you enter the Emergency SOS screen, you’ll
have to use your passcode to unlock your iPhone, another security feature
that came along with iOS 11.
Apple notes in a support document for the iPhone 7 and earlier, the Auto
Call option isn’t available, so pressing the side button 5 times and then
sliding is the way to make an SOS call.

iPhone X vs. 8 Plus vs. 8: Choose the best iPhone for you - CNET

[M. Taylor]

CNET News - Friday, November 17, 2017 at 11:08 AM
iPhone X vs. 8 Plus vs. 8: Choose the best iPhone for you - CNET
 
Now Playing: Watch this: iPhone 8, 8 Plus or X: Which should you get? 
3:42 
Picking an iPhone used to be dead simple: just get the new one. But, in
2017, Apple has three new iPhones: a basic iPhone 8, an upgraded 8 Plus, and
a fancy iPhone X.
That's not even counting all the other iPhones Apple still sells, too: the
iPhone SE, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. That's
eight models in total -- it's almost too much.
Blow the dust away, and you have three clear iPhone paths to head down: for
premium, the iPhone X or iPhone 8 Plus; for mainstream, the iPhone 8; and
for a budget choice, the iPhone SE.
 
Sometimes (like with some videos), the 8 Plus (top) vs X (bottom) don't seem
that different.
Sarah Tew/CNET 
iPhone X vs. iPhone 8 Plus: Flashy vs. functional
Know this: you really can't go wrong with either pick. Unlike previous years
where Apple had one clear top-end iPhone, these two split the difference
between future-forward design and comfortable, traditional feel. The
hardware is in many ways identical, from processor to wireless charging to
similar (but slightly different) dual rear cameras. But there are some
differences that may help make up your mind.
Go with the 8 Plus for an edge on battery life, a familiar home button and
interface, a display that's a bit larger for some needs and a lower price.
Pick the iPhone X is you're looking for a more compact big-screen phone with
a great new design, want to ride the bleeding edge of where Apple's tech is
heading next (mainly the front-facing, 3D depth-sensing Face ID camera), and
don't mind learning a new gesture language (you'll pick it up).
 
The iPhone X has the looks.
Sarah Tew/CNET 
iPhone X: Your top-of-the-line sports car breaks boundaries, but has some
drawbacks
Advantages:
•   Size: It's the Goldilocks iPhone. The tall, narrow 5.8-inch screen
is a perfect middle between the hand-friendly iPhone 8 and larger 8 Plus.
•   Screen: The OLED display pops, and so far it's been one of the best
phone displays CNET has ever seen.
•   Rear cameras: The X cameras have all the bells and whistles -- 2x
optical zoom, optical image stabilization on both lenses -- offering the
most complete iPhone camera package to date.
•   Front camera: Front-facing TrueDepth camera can take Portrait
photos, do unique AR tricks and 3D mapping for clever tricks like animojis
and the next version of Snapchat. That can feel gimmicky, but it's also
weirdly fun.
•   Face ID: Touch ID is gone from the iPhone X, but the Face ID feature
generally works well.
Drawbacks:
•   Price: It's $999 (£999 or AU$1,579) to start, and really $1,149
(£1,149 or AU$1,829) for the model with the storage I'd prefer. Actually,
I'd prefer 128GB of storage, but Apple is only offering 64GB and 256GB
models, and as always, there's no expandable storage.
•   App optimization: Not all apps perfectly fit the new display and its
unusual shape and aspect ratio yet, so it means the X's screen size may not
always seem that large.
•   Battery life: Longevity is a step down from the iPhone 8 Plus: I
found it got me through a day, but narrowly. And recharging with the
included charger is slow.
•   Interface changes: Yes, Face ID works. But with no home button, the
interface is different, and that takes getting used to. In fact, it might
even annoy you -- Control Center's new "swipe down" gesture is a step down
in usability from other iPhones.
•   Durability: Our iPhone X drop test shows the nearly all-glass design
may be more fragile than the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. And, unless you're
enrolled in protection like AppleCare, fixing it will be expensive.
CNET Review
Apple iPhone X
A radical redesign that's nearly all screen includes a new cutting-edge
facial recognition feature. But with no more Touch ID or home button, the
iPhone X dares you to change your ways. SEE IT 
 
 
The iPhone 8 Plus: Boring but good, and it works great.
Sarah Tew/CNET 
iPhone 8 Plus: Your workhorse pick doesn't rock the boat
Advantages:
•   Battery life: A longer battery life compared to the iPhone X.
•   Rear cameras: You're getting most (though not all) of the iPhone X's
camera strengths, including Portrait Mode for photos and 2x optical zoom.
•   Traditional 16x9 screen: While the 5.5-inch screen is technically a
bit smaller than that of the 5.8-inch iPhone X, it has the more familiar
16x9 aspect ratio of your HDTV -- the size that's already best optimized for
most videos, apps and games.
•   Some iPad-like app features: The 8 Plus includes landscape mode and
in-app split-screen for some apps (Mail, Notes and others) that aren't
available on the narrower screen on the X.
Drawbacks:
•   OIS only on one rear camera: The 8 Plus lacks optical image
stabilization on one of its two rear cameras. In the real world, that means
the X has the advantage on 

Re: direct TV now updated

[Brent Harding]

I thought about maybe trying it. How would one get around the automatic 
muting thing so I don't end up requiring a facotry reset of my iPhone to get 
it going with speech again, that is, if one doesn't have sighted people 
around to help?

Subject: direct TV now updated


Okay, so I have tried this app on appleTV, iPad mini, and iPhone.  I would 
have to say the iPhone was the best experience.  Mainly because everything 
is grouped together, and easy to get too.  1st off, you must change some 
settings.  turn auto play off, next episode automatically starting off, 
and mute sound when app starts should be off.  Once you do this, there are 
some tabs at the bottom.  Home, shows, movies, and networks.  It works 
great, you go into movies, and it lists all movies from your available 
channels, gives you the year the movie was released, and a description of 
it. You can even back out and go by TV show, or network.  And the best 
part about it is, if you set your favorites on 1 device, they carry over 
to any device you sign into.  I didn’t like the experience on iPad mini to 
much, the split screen just confused me, but I don’t use the iPad mini 
every day, and someone who does may understand the layout better.  I have 
already posted about appleTV experience, so won’t repeat it here.  All in 
all, the experience is fine if you have a little patients.  I am not 
disappointed.  SlingTV has some thinking to do, because both there 
packages together, is 45 bucks, and only 67 channels, with no HBO or Cina 
max.  Plus there feed is choppy at best.  I watched direct TV now on 2 
devices at the same time, and it never buffered.  Watched a NBA game on 
ESPN, and a movie on lifetime at the same time for almost 2 hours.  HTH.

iTunes 12.7

[E.T.]

   I did some cleanup in Home Videos this week. All went well.

   Later, I discovered some content in TV Shows and Movies was not in 
my library. I was able to redownload it all. Has anyone seen this 
happen? I did no work in those two areas so am curious what could have 
caused this so it will not occur again..

Re: it's here, the X

[Alex Hall]

One other question for any X users. I've read that the screen samples touches 
faster than any other iOS device. Does this translate to smoother VO 
experiences? That is, do swipes or other gestures register faster, making VO 
feel snappier overall compared to a 7 or 8? Or is the difference not really 
noticeable?

Re: Flash player app

[Mike Arrigo]

Adobe flash is not accessible on the mac, and it's unlikely that this 
will be improved since Flash is a dying breed. Best thing to do is 
contact the web site and ask them to switch to HTML 5 and move away 
from relying on flash.

Original message:

Hello all
Does anyone know of an accessible media player that will play flash.

Re: Your Apple ID is being used...

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

The location stuff all has to do with the ISP and how it routes your traffic.  
Our work ISP routes its traffic through a connection in Calgary, which is over 
700 km drive south of us.  So, the IP that we are given for outbound traffic is 
registered in Calgary, not Fort McMurray and that's what Apple is going on when 
this message is sent to you.  To the original question, I'll look into it some, 
but don't have time right now to see if it is configurable.  i doubt it, but 
will check.

Later...

RE: Apple delays HomePod to 2018 - CNET

Apple delays HomePod to 2018
Apple's smart speaker isn't making it this year after all.
November 17, 2017 8:40 AM PST
 
HomePod is now a 2018 product.
James Martin/CNET 

Expected to launch in December, Apple's HomePod is being pushed back to 2018, 
the company announced Friday.
"We can't wait for people to experience HomePod, Apple's breakthrough wireless 
speaker for the home, but we need a little more time before it's ready for our 
customers," an Apple spokesperson said. "We'll start shipping in the US, UK and 
Australia in early 2018."
The HomePod is Apple's entry into the smart speaker market: a $349 or £349 
device that promises standout audio and some smart Siri-enabled tools. The 
HomePod was demoed to CNET earlier this year, but only as an audio device.
Its smart functions have largely been under wraps. Meanwhile, many well-priced 
smart speakers with Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant and even Microsoft's 
Cortana have taken over the market this year.
The HomePod hooks into Siri for its smart functions, and will work with Apple's 
smart home platform HomeKit and Apple Music. But it's unclear how many other 
apps will work with it.

Hi John,

I haven’t noticed that when it’s charging but yes when it’s not charging.



I’ll have a look at that next time I have it on charge.

I have noticed that I don’t get anywhere near the same battery life as I did 
from my 7+…

Great Report, Simon.

I look forward to your next one, especially your Face ID experience.

Yes, the phone is surprisingly slim when compared to iPhone 8 Plus.

Based on your statement, may we assume that you are using a pass code to unlock 
your 10? or are you, "going commando", (big smile) with no password protection 
whatsoever.  (smile)

Hi Mark,

 Well I have to admit that I didn't get it until 5:30pm lastnight so when I got 
to the setting up face id section I skipped it as the light was getting low and 
it seemed I couldn’t' look directly at the screen.

 So I'll leave that until the weekend and set it up then.

Interesting the using the device without a home button but it's not that 
difficult once you get use to the slide up the screen.

 What I really have noticed is its speed and simple quickness when performing a 
task on screen.

 And I am very surprised by the size,
I thought it would be larger than it is.

 After using a 7+ I'm inclined to think it's even sdmaller than the 7 or 8, yet 
I believe it's slightly larger.

 Still a lot of working things out before I really get use to it.


More to report as things move forward.

Hello Simon.

Your post made me smile.

Congratulations on your iPhone 10.  I’m not certain but, so far, I believe you 
and Cliff are the only two who have received the unit.  I know several other 
people on the list are expecting theirs, any day now.

I have no doubt but that you will continue to love the device.

What do you think of Face ID, so far?

Also, please keep us informed on your Apple Pay experiences with Face ID, okay?

Mark

The device is very quick, and although smaller physically it’s stil got great 
screen realestate to work with,

So I’d say so far it’s been worth the wait but still more playing around to 
come over the next couple of days

At least the iPhone x doesn’t slap me if I put my hand in the wrong place.

Um,

Therrfore I'm not being forced to use it.

As for choices,

Apple do give you choices.

iPhone 6 upwards give you a number of choices

all have both pin codes and touch ID only the x has pin and face id,

 so I can't see issues

Well they shouldn't force you to use face ID, lucky for us. We still have the

for me the last IPhone I will own will be the last I am able to get touch ID.

 After using a 7+ I'm inclined to think it's even sdmaller than the 7 or 8, yet 
I believe it's slightly larger.

 Still a lot of working things out before I really get use to it.


More to report as things move forward.

Hello Simon.

Your post made me smile.  

Congratulations on your iPhone 10.  I’m not certain but, so far, I believe you 
and Cliff are the only two who have received the unit.  I know several other 
people on the list are expecting theirs, any day now.

I have no doubt but that you will continue to love the device.  

What do you think of Face ID, so far?  

Also, please keep us informed on your Apple Pay experiences with Face ID, okay?

Hi List,

So today I received notification from my mobile provider that my iPhone X had 
arrived,

And quite frankly it’s like being on a first date,

I’m kind of concerned  about touching it in case I do something wrong,

I will say that setting up the device out of the box and using iCloud backups  
doesn’t work when your back ups are on IOS Public beta versions, and the new 
device was IOS 11 production release…

A bit of playing allowed me to reset the device back to the factory start point 
and run through without an issue 

So far after playing around for an hour or so, I’m actually really impressed 
with what they have done,

Once you get passed the fact there is no home button it’s actually easy to work 
with the slide finger up to get the app switcher and home screens.

The device is very quick, and although smaller physically it’s stil got great 
screen realestate to work with,

So I’d say so far it’s been worth the wait but still more playing around to 
come over the next couple of days 

At least the iPhone x doesn’t slap me if I put my hand in the wrong place.

Hi,

It depends on how often the dynamic is applied.  If they change your IP often, 
then your going to need to come up with a plan to either keep changing your IP 
in the VPN reference, or subscribe to a host service that can account for the 
constant changes.  My dynamic IP doesn't change often at all, so I just change 
the reference when needed.  Regarding the firewall, it's real easy within 
Airport Utility to add the VPN port references in the Network tab under Port 
Settings.  You may run into a barrier though if the cable modem has any 
firewall or such security on it.

Later...

RE: Your Apple ID is being used...

I ET,

 Yes it's kind of crazy that everytime you do something this alert comes up.

What's funny for us in NZ though is that the alert states that my device was 
used in a location approx. 400KM northwest in the middle of our mountain range,
Near Mt Cook which is our highest peak, in a place called wellington which is 
our capital and is north of me by approx. 1000 Km  so neither are close  each 
other.

Re: Change voiceover key commands

[Jonathan Cohn]

So to expand on that statement, you could assign the quicknav key "S" or
the "keyboard commander "option s" to "read current line". I generally
expand the numpad commander functions personally. So perhaps
control-numpad-8 might work for this.  .

 How do users like the change? The Touch Bar on the MacBook, for instance, 
 is plenty usable but often less efficient than physical keys are. Or is it 
 more like the two-finger gesture on iPad under iOS11, which makes 
 accessing apps faster and more fluid, at least to me? Or is it something

Apple delays HomePod to 2018 - CNET

[M. Taylor]

Apple delays HomePod to 2018
Apple's smart speaker isn't making it this year after all.
November 17, 2017 8:40 AM PST
 
HomePod is now a 2018 product.
James Martin/CNET 

Expected to launch in December, Apple's HomePod is being pushed back to
2018, the company announced Friday.
"We can't wait for people to experience HomePod, Apple's breakthrough
wireless speaker for the home, but we need a little more time before it's
ready for our customers," an Apple spokesperson said. "We'll start shipping
in the US, UK and Australia in early 2018."
The HomePod is Apple's entry into the smart speaker market: a $349 or £349
device that promises standout audio and some smart Siri-enabled tools. The
HomePod was demoed to CNET earlier this year, but only as an audio device.
Its smart functions have largely been under wraps. Meanwhile, many
well-priced smart speakers with Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant and even
Microsoft's Cortana have taken over the market this year.
The HomePod hooks into Siri for its smart functions, and will work with
Apple's smart home platform HomeKit and Apple Music. But it's unclear how
many other apps will work with it.

No. You can’t change VoiceOver commands, but you can assign any keyboard

Re: Anyone using the Feelin' /Hallmark app on their Apple TV?

[Mary Otten]

Yes, and it’s not amusing. My subscription is coming up, and I am strongly 
considering canceling it and telling them why. It was never perfectly 
accessible. But at least it used to be way more so than it is now. I wonder if 
they have an app on the Fire TV. Maybe I should look there and see if that’s 
any better.

[dan d.]

Is it possible to remap the vo key commands.

For example, to change vo+l to some other combination.

Thanks.

Anyone using the Feelin' /Hallmark app on their Apple TV?

[Donna Goodin]

Well, it's that time of year again, when my mind turns to Hallmark. lol

Is anyone using this app?  They've increased the subscription price, and I'm 
trying to decide whether to pay the higher price.  It looks like the app has 
become very inaccessible - I seem completely unable to see titles and select a 
program.  Is anyone else seeing this?  I'm willing to pay if the app is still 
accessible, but if not, then obviously I won't.
Cheers,
Donna
