RE: Fall detection

[Simon Fogarty]

Yeah I was wondering this one myself,

I’ve got a bad habit of tripping over things,
So I’d need to switch this off.

But hay I’ve not yet got my S4 watch so nothing I need to worry about yet.

Fall Detection is off by default unless you are 65 years or older. I would 
encourage turning on Fall Detection. Fall Detection is very good at Detecting 
False Alarms and gives a person a minute or so to raise from a Fall.

RE: iOS 12 tips: 7 security settings you need to check right now, USA Today

Thanks for this,

Another great article 

I'm going to have to have a look at a few of these.

Subject: iOS 12 tips: 7 security settings you need to check right now, USA Today

Seven iOS 12 security setting tips you should check right now By Jennifer 
Jolly, Special for USA TODAY 3:00 a.m. PDT Oct. 11, 2018 

Apple's latest mobile software, iOS 12, tightens up security and privacy issues 
on iPhones.
To get the most out of the updates though, you might have to tweak a setting or 
two.
Here's how to take full advantage of the latest bug fixes and make sure you're 
keeping your device as safe as you can from hackers and prying eyes.

Take advantage of stronger passcodes
Apple didn't change the default lock screen from a four-digit code to six-digit 
one just to mess with you. The longer your device passcode is, the harder it is 
to hack. Hackers often use software to cycle through every possible passcode 
combination - known as a brute-force attack - and since a four-digit passcode 
has just 10,000 possible combinations, it doesn't take long for a computer to 
break right in!
If you're still using a six-digit or, heaven forbid, a four-digit passcode, 
it's time to upgrade to something better. You can make passcodes as long as you 
want, and you can set it to use numbers and letters or numbers only. I prefer 
numerical only because then I don't have to mess with the keyboard, but go with 
whatever works for you. Just know that if you're still using
11 or 123456 - you're begging to get hacked.
Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and enter your current passcode. Then, go 
to Change Passcode and, from the Passcode Options and set a Custom Numeric Code.

Use automated two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to all your logins by 
asking new devices to confirm that they're legit. After you log in to an app or 
site with two-factor enabled you'll get a text message to your phone number 
with a verification code, ensuring you're the only one who can access the 
account.
Apple has two-factor support baked right into iOS 12, and it's so incredibly 
easy to use that it auto-fills the codes for you - so you don't even have to 
type them in.
Go to Settings > Password & Security and then tap Turn on Two-Factor 
Authentication. Once you do this, your phone guides you through the rest of the 
setup process.

Turn on USB-restricted mode to make your phone even harder to hack One of the 
most significant security changes in iOS 12 is that Apple made it much harder 
for iPhone thieves or privacy-snooping meddlers to sniff your phone for 
information about you.
When you plug your phone into a USB device it can do two things: get charged 
and transfer data. In the past, when you connected your phone into a computer, 
it asked for verification to keep you safe, but there were still tools that 
hackers could use to get around that.
After seven days without being unlocked, iOS 11 would finally lock down the 
charging port to prevent any attempts at breaching its security. iOS 12 
shortens that time window in a big way. Now, it locks down iPhone's charging 
port into power-only mode after just one hour after you last unlocked it.
To set this correctly, head into Settings > Face ID (or Touch ID) & Passcode 
and then go all the way to the bottom of the list. There you'll see a toggle 
for USB Accessories. Make sure this button is OFF (gray, not green). This 
simple step should prevent any USB devices from trying to break into your phone 
after just one hour of being locked.

Significant locations: On/off?
Your iPhone tracks everywhere you go so it can make location-based features in 
apps like Maps, Photos and Siri work smoothly. Your phone encrypts the 
information so nobody should be able to see it but you, but it's pretty creepy 
the first time you see it, especially if you don't realize that it's tracking 
you in such a way. It's entirely up to you whether you want to turn it off, or 
you can clear your saved locations any time.
Head into Settings > Privacy > Location > System Services and then tap 
Significant Locations. Here you can see the locations that your iPhone thinks 
are most important to keep track of and toggle the feature on or off.

Use safari
There are approximately a million web browser options in the App Store, but 
Apple's own built-in Safari browser comes packed with new features in iOS 12 to 
help keep your browsing habits more private.
Safari now protects against cookies that track you across the internet, 
following you from site to site and potentially revealing your browsing habits 
to companies trying to learn more about you.
Social widgets on websites - like Facebook logins for comment sections - can 
sniff out what you're doing even if you don't interact with them. Now, Apple 
blocks

A Charging Pad for iPhone 8 Plus

[M. Taylor]

Hello All,

I went to the Apple Store with a friend today and decided to purchase the
special edition Belkin charging pad for my beloved 8 Plus.  It was $20 more
than the original model but well worth it as I do not have to pay any
special attention to where I place my phone.  I just lay it on the pad and
it begins charging.  Nice.

Even better, the pad is rated at 7.5 watts, as opposed to the standard 5
watt adapter that ships with the phone.  So, in addition to the added
convenience, the phone recharges faster on the pad than it would were I to
use the original A/C adapter that shipped with 8 Plus.  Very nice, indeed.

I have my 8 Plus in a leather Case Mate folio case with 4-card slots and a
sleeve.   It basically look just like a wallet with four slots for credit
cards, photo identification, paper money, etc.  

As the case does not impede the charger, there is no need to remove the
phone from the case when placing it on the pad; even nicer, still.

Very, very nice, (smile).

Mark

Re: issue with Mojave

['E.T.' via MacVisionaries]

   If you increase the mouse pointer to make it more visible, then 
before dealing with the authorization, move the CCC window down some, 
the pesky password window should be more easily seen. If its on top of 
another window it is hard to pick out.

Hi,
When you hear announcements like "Security Agent has no windows", or similarly 
with some other agent, this is an invisible layer that sighted users would never notice, 
but because we want VO to notice just about everything, those agents often take over VO 
focus.  Normally, cmd-tab, a physical click of the mouse or trackpad button, or in some 
cases, the virtual click with VO-shift-space will bring focus back to the Finder.   After 
focus is on the Finder, you should be able to use the Application Chooser, or Window 
Chooser to locate the necessary entry area.  Note that the Security agent is a call to a 
process, thus the entry area is not a window that belongs to the Security Agent, so doing 
the Window Chooser while VO focus is within the security Agent will not be successful.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi,

On my MBP with TouchBar, the Touch ID or password request does appear normally 
without extra interventions.  I recommend you use the method suggested by 
Oriol, whereby you use the Application Chooser, VO-f1-f1.  An item named System 
Dialogs should be there, select it then go right and down to the appropriate 
window.  You should easily be able to enter your password in this situation.  
There are a number of situations where System dialogs are present, but not 
readily noticeable to us, but sighted users see them plainly in the way of 
whatever we are focused on as VO users.

   High Sierra has the same issue and I was hopeful it would be gone in Mojave.

   As to Dropbox, if the app is already installed and you are prompted to sign 
in, while VO will speak the fields as you navigate, it will not echo what you 
are typing in. Enter your user ID then move VO and back so it will read it to 
you. I have made Dropbox very aware of this but they need to hear from others

RE: Extracting wifi info from imac to save for record is this possible?

[matthew dyer]

Tim,

Thanks.  I did a bit of googling around and found out how to get what OI needed 
from keychain.  Good to know about the I devices as I am looking at getting a 
new phone this week.  If I can find one on t-mlobile prepaid I should be good.  
BTW,  the device was a windows pc not an I device.  Thanks again.

Hi,

There's no real need to do anything like that.  It is totally possible to share 
that WiFi password with any other Apple device.  Just make sure that they are 
close to each other, and that you're either using the same Apple ID, or have 
the other person in your contacts, and the WiFi password can be instantly 
shared with the other device without having to share the actual alphanumeric 
string.  Alternatively, this information is stored in your Keychain, and can be 
accessed with a bit of work.

Re: issue with Mojave

[Mike Arrigo]

So far I have had no luck getting carbon copy cloner authorized. When the 
password window appears, it just says busy and will not read anything when I 
use the trackpad, I will probably have to get sighted help for this. It's just 
really interesting that this does not happen at all with either of my mac 
minis, so that makes me wonder what is different about the macbook air that 
causes it

Normally, when choosing an iTunes library from the Option key, I

Hi,

When you hear announcements like "Security Agent has no windows", or 
similarly with some other agent, this is an invisible layer that sighted 
users would never notice, but because we want VO to notice just about 
everything, those agents often take over VO focus.  Normally, cmd-tab, a 
physical click of the mouse or trackpad button, or in some cases, the 
virtual click with VO-shift-space will bring focus back to the Finder. 
  After focus is on the Finder, you should be able to use the 
Application Chooser, or Window Chooser to locate the necessary entry 
area.  Note that the Security agent is a call to a process, thus the 
entry area is not a window that belongs to the Security Agent, so doing 
the Window Chooser while VO focus is within the security Agent will not 
be successful.


Hope this makes sense.

Hi,

On my MBP with TouchBar, the Touch ID or password request does appear 
normally without extra interventions.  I recommend you use the method 
suggested by Oriol, whereby you use the Application Chooser, 
VO-f1-f1.  An item named System Dialogs should be there, select it 
then go right and down to the appropriate window.  You should easily 
be able to enter your password in this situation.  There are a number 
of situations where System dialogs are present, but not readily 
noticeable to us, but sighted users see them plainly in the way of 
whatever we are focused on as VO users.

  As to Dropbox, if the app is already installed and you are 
prompted to sign in, while VO will speak the fields as you 
navigate, it will not echo what you are typing in. Enter your user 
ID then move VO and back so it will read it to you. I have made 
Dropbox very aware of this but they need to hear from others too..

Contacts in Google and iCloud accounts syncing

['Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

I have both iCloud and Google accounts on my mac and iPhone. the question and 
problem I have is how to make the two accounts link all of the contacts 
together.  What I mean is that if I create a new contact, by default it gets 
created in iCloud contacts but that contact doesn’t appear in Google account 
contacts so my other devices including my Windows machine do not have that 
contact.  Is there a way of synchronising all of these together so that I don’t 
have to copy the contact in iCloud to google contacts manually?

Hope this makes sense.

Andrew
