RE: missing onscreen keyboard on iPhone

[Simon Fogarty]

What about the network connections doesn’t that reset Bluetooth etc and leave 
your other apps etc alone.

Subject: Re: missing onscreen keyboard on iPhone

Well, I made a little progress. Essentially the onscreen keyboard toggle now 
appears to be completely backward. When the Braille display is connected to the 
iPhone 7, then the OnScreen keyboard is available but as soon as I get out of 
range, turn off the keyboard, or otherwise disable the Braille display, the 
OnScreen keyboard disappears.
I am very tempted to reset all settings, but then I would need to put my credit 
cards back into Apple Pay.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Hi Jonathan,
I just had this happen today. It was very annoying. I have an external 
Bluetooth keyboard, and I thought maybe that was the problem. So I turned off 
Bluetooth. Rebooted the phone. No luck. I went into general settings keyboard 
and found out that for some reason I had three keyboards listed, two of which 
were United States English qwerty. I deleted one of those, rebooted the phone, 
and my keyboard returned. I don’t know why it listed US English twice. And I 
don’t know if it was just coincidental that getting rid of one of them should 
cause the keyboard to reappear. But it did.

Hi Jonathan. This happened to me also at the beginning of December over the 
weekend, and it was pretty frustrating when I couldn't dictate or type on my 
phone with the on screen keyboard. It was like my phone thought I was still 
connected to Bluetooth with my braille display even though the display was 
already turned off. Try switching Bluetooth off and then back on and see if 
that helps. If that doesn't work, try turning Bluetooth off and do a soft reset 
on your phone. When I had this problem, I eventually went to the Apple Store on 
Monday and they were able to reset my phone. None of my apps or data was erased 
and I did a back up beforehand just in case that might happen. The keyboard 
magically reappeared again after they turned off Bluetooth and reset it.
Hope that helps.

Re: 4 tb hd, what is the best backup plan?

[Eric Oyen]

No. Both drives have to be the same size for any type of raid. It’s a 
requirement of the specification.

Mixing differing sized drives in the same raid causes big problems (usually 
with cylinder allocation, numbering and other issues). Also, if the smallest 
drive is the first in the raid, any extra space on the larger drives will be 
ignored and only the space of the smaller drive will be allocated on the 
others. That means a lot of wasted space. It doesn’t matter which method of 
raid you use, this will be true regardless. Best to have all drives the same 
size.

-Eric

Re: missing onscreen keyboard on iPhone

[Jonathan Cohn]

Well, I made a little progress. Essentially the onscreen keyboard toggle now 
appears to be completely backward. When the Braille display is connected to the 
iPhone 7, then the OnScreen keyboard is available but as soon as I get out of 
range, turn off the keyboard, or otherwise disable the Braille display, the 
OnScreen keyboard disappears.  
I am very tempted to reset all settings, but then I would need to put my credit 
cards back into Apple Pay.
 
Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: installing Homekit devices

No, I found it to be an incredibly easy process. I have about 13 different 
HomeKit devices. And they have all paired very easily. Just the scan of a code.

The only part of the process that I couldn’t take care of myself. Was to select 
an appropriate icon to go with the device.

installing Homekit devices

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi all,

My husband and I just purchased a OneLink smoke alarm, hoping to be able to 
pair it with HomeKit.  It cost $250, but we figured it was worth it if Homekit 
allowed me to be able to interact with the alarm.  The short version of our 
story is that we've spent all morning trying to get it to work.  We finally got 
the smoke alarm working, but after four hours and two calls to tech support, 
never got it paired with Homekit.  I'm just wondering if those of you who use 
Homekit for other devices usually have this much trouble getting devices set 
up?  We're returning the smoke alarm and just going with a cheap one, and 
giving up have it work with Homekit.  But I would like to use it for other 
devices, so would like to know if people generally find devices hard to set up.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: 4 tb hd, what is the best backup plan?

[Ramy Moustafa]

Aha, most of my data i need them badly will be more than that.
but, i have an idea.
I have my 4 Tb HD, and another 1 with 2 TB of data,
can i use them together but not at the same time?
I mean that i will make my backup every friday, can i connect the 2 HDs and ask 
the time machine to use them for ba backing my data?

Hi Steve:
Most of my data are Instruments libraries, from kontakt. and to download them 
all again. is a miss.
so,I think most of mmy space is just libraries and libraries.

Re: twitter client for Mac

Well, I use night owl myself. It’s a simple interface design that works well 
with screen readers. There are some things it can’t do, but those are small 
sacrifices

I haven’t tried any of the other twitter clients that might still be available

Re: 4 tb hd, what is the best backup plan?

[Eric Oyen]

Well, I have found that to keep the prices down (IOW, keep your wallet from 
going nuclear), it would probably be best to get several of the smaller drives 
(like 4TB) and then raid them together . This will not only allow you a larger 
filesystem, but also increased performance. Striping raid is best for 
performance, while mirroring allows for complete redundant backup with a CRC 
failover. I have several 3 TB externals. Here all in raid 1 (striping), which 
gives me an effective 12 TB external with the max performance bandwidth that 
USB 3 can provide (it’s not as fast as the 3GPS SATA drives, but it’s more than 
fast enough).

Now, there are three methods of raid you need to be aware of (2 of which I just 
mentioned):
1. Striping
2. Mirroring
3. Concatenation

The third one above simply allows you to append 1 drive to another. This is 
also the easiest method to use if you simply want to add more drives to the 
raid. It doesn’t have the performance of striping or the redundancy of 
mirroring, but as a simple large drive, it works ok.

Basically, it’s up to you what you want to use. Just bear in mind, none of the 
above solutions is for the newbie. A bit of reading will be required.

Re: 4 tb hd, what is the best backup plan?

[Steve Matzura]

Never mind all these multiplication exercises. The first question that 
should be asked about what can and should be backed up is this: How much 
stuff stored on my computer system can I re-download or recover in some 
other way? Do I have, say, instrument libraries I can download again? If 
so, I don't have to back them up. Do I have programs I can re-install 
from the App Store? If so, then I don't have to back them up. Do I have 
documents or other data that, if lost, cannot be replaced, or at least, 
not replaced easily? Then those absolutely *must* be backed up. By 
answering these questions, you can shrink the size of your backup, not 
to mention the amount of time it takes to make it. Of course, it will 
require some thought and maybe making a list and checking it twice, and 
of course customizing your Time Machine backup plan, but it's worth it. 
You can get away with smaller backup volumes this way.



It's also a very good plan to have at least one full disk image 
backup--something to start with that has nearly everything on it that 
you need and/or want in case of a boot-disk failure, otherwise you will 
have to start from nothing if you have to replace the boot disk. Copy 
Cloner and Super Duper are two applications that can make such backups, 
and I think you can boot from those copies to create and set up the 
replaced system volume.



If all else fails and your boot drive is toast, there's always the Mac 
Recovery system. You can read about it at

Re: 4 tb hd, what is the best backup plan?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Officially, yes.  Unofficially, it all depends on how much data you currently 
have.  Each of your externals may hold up to a TB, but how much data is 
actually stored on them?  Add up the amount of data, then multiply it by 1.5.  
If that is more than 4 TB, then you're probably able to use the 4 TB HD as your 
backup drive.  If your total without multiplication is already over 4 TB, then 
you're out of luck.  You cannot back up 6 TB onto a 4 TB drive no matter what 
solution you find.  Compression won't help.  You might be able to use a 
combination of solutions.  That is, use iCloud Drive to store your Desktop and 
Documents folder from the computer itself, then use the 4 TB drive just to back 
up the externals.  Either way, if you do have 8 TB of actual data, then you 
need 12 to 16 TB of available space to do a reliable backup.  Realize that the 
first backup would likely be 10 to 11 TB on an 8 TB source, then you need free 
space for subsequent backups.  Otherwise, you're just keeping a backup for a 
very short time and the older data is purged very quickly, which makes your 
recovery options very limited.
