RE: Screen waking up with earphones connected

[M. Taylor]

Hello,

I cannot reproduce your issue.  However, in no way does this invalidate your 
experience.  

All I can suggest is that you attempt to resolve the issue by resetting your 
phone settings.

Subject: Screen waking up with earphones connected

Hi,
 
I have an iPhone 8 updated that when I am using the earphones  the screen 
wakes-up right after locking. The iPhone 7 doesn’t have such  a problem. It is 
impossible to use the iPhone 8 to listen something once Voiceover is always 
saying the hours. 
 
Anyone else?
 
Best,
João

Re: Capslock and VMWare Fusion

[kelly ford]

Hi,

A bit more of an update here.

My preference when I use JAWS on Windows is to use the laptop layout.  As I 
said, I originally had mapped a function key to insert.  The bluetooth keyboard 
I was using had extra function keys so I mapped what showed up as F19.

But my ultimate goal is to use the MacBook’s keyboard directly.  There are no 
function keys, just the Touch Bar.  While I can press function keys using the 
Touch Bar, I have no idea how you hold them to also press a second key.

So now what I’ve done is remapped the Accent key (left edge of the numbers) to 
be Capslock in Fusion.  I then ensure the Windows screen readers are using 
Capslock as a modifier.

Then when I want to issue a Windows screen reader command, I just press and 
hold the accent key with what ever key I want, such as t for Window title.

I’ve tried this now with JAWS, NVDA and Narrator on the Windows VM while 
running VoiceOver on the Mac and so far it is working well.  I can control both 
screen readers (Windows and Mac) and use just the MacBook’s standard keyboard.

The only customization I had to do in the end was open Fusion preferences, 
choose Keyboard and Mouse and then the profile my VMs use and add this one 
extra keyboard mapping.

Excel Question

[Mary Jo Partyka]

I was working on an Excel spreadsheet on the Mac this afternoon.  There were a 
number of taables with list of  names inside them.  I couldn’t figure out how 
to get from one table or sheet to the next.  Most of the people in the 
organization I working with use JAWS.  The Accessibility line person suggested 
that I look t the Numberss menu to see if that would help but it didn’t.  How 
do you get from one sheet to another on the Mac in Numbers?

Re: excessive Battery usage on iPhone 8

[Petrus Tuerlings]

Yes, that is one thing you can try, but must admit it didn’t  really help for 
me. I also got told that turning off Background App refresh in the general 
settings might help as well. Neither of these settings helped for me. I ended 
up doing a hard reboot by pressing the volume up, volume down followed by the 
side button for about 12 seconds and this fixed it.

To be honest, no. I have not restarted the HomePod. There was that

was withdrawn and they introduced 13.2.1. Now it seems
that at least half of the time, Siri is deaf. I can say
hey Siri two or three times before I get any results at
all. And she comes up with the wildest stupidest things
that aren’t even close to what I requested, unless it’s
something from Apple Music. It’s crazy.

Hi,

Just updated my iPhone 8 to the latest iOS 13.2.  I get a notification that 37 
apps updates are available but when I go to the appstore, I can’t find the 
update button.  Any clues as it where it has gone?

RE: Capslock and VMWare Fusion

Hi,

 

I haven’t tried this with Capslock yet but since my end goal was to control a

used the key mappings feature to remap one of the function keys on my Mac to 
the Insert key.  So now I can press that key and the appropriate Windows screen 
reader key with success.  I didn’t have to jump through other hoops here.

Hi,

 

Thank you for the detailed replies here.  This all mirrors what I thought I 
would have to do but I was hoping something might have changed.  I will try 
this all.

 

In the short term, I am using a bluetooth keyboard with a numeric keypad and 
issuing the Windows screen reader commands from there is working well.

 

Beyond that, Fusion is working well to run multiple Windows VMs.

Hello Kelly,

 

The problem of the caps key as Jaws key in VMWare Fusion has always been a bit 
of a problem and you will need to jump through a number of hoops to make it 
work.  The way I had accomplished it some years ago, as long as I can remember 
is as follows.

1. You need to disable caps lock function on the mac side in system preferences 
then keyboard, then press the modifier key options button.  In the dialog that 
will appear, you can specify what actions various modifier keys can perform on 
the mac.  These are popup buttons.  Caps lock key must be set to no action 
because Mac OS doesn’t release caps lock actions to windows installations under 
VMWare Fusion as far as I understand.

 

2. You need to download a utility for mac called Karabiner Elements from the 
link below:

https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/

This utility once installed will allow you to remap the function caps lock key 
to act as an insert key.  As you know, mac doesn’t have insert key so you need 
to remap it so that caps lock key is recognized as insert key.

Once you install Karabiner Elements, depending on your version of OS, you may 
have to grant it permissions in system preferences security & privacy, under 
privacy tab.

Also, Karabiner Elements, once installed, will create an icon for itself in 
menu extra.  That’s how you will always find the app and activate it.  Its 
window easily disappears once you command + tab away from it so I thought I’d 
warn you.

In Karabiner Elements you need to again reassign the function of caps lock key 
to insert key.  This is relatively straight forward but you will need to do 
some exploring.  There are basically two popup buttons in a table left column 
says something like from key, and right column says something like, to key.  
You need to choose from caps lock and in the right column to insert key.

This will be all for Mac OS side.

 

4. Now once you’ve started Windows in VMWare Fusion, you will need to search 
via google for a small utility called sharpkeys.exe by Randyrats, if I 
remember.  Download it and install it.  Once you launch the sharkkeys.exe 
application, you will need to again reassign caps lock to insert key and insert 
key to caps key.  This should do it.  I can’t be more helpful on all the steps 
of how you’d do this in sharpkeys as I’m not able to look at it while typing 
this message but you probably have enough experience to work it out after 
you’ve explored sharkeys windows.  Basically sharkeys will change reassignment 
of caps lock key and insert key in Windows registry.  You will need to restart 
your Windows for the reassignment to take effect.  I don’t know exactly why you 
need to reassign caps to insert and then again insertt to caps but when I did 
only the former, it didn’t work.  It only worked for me when I did the insert 
to caps reassignment as well.  Of course you need to tell Jaws to use capslock 
key as Jaws key.

 

Hope this will help, and please anyone chip in if I have made a mistake in the 
above or omitted anything.

 

Andrew

Hi,

 

I believe I’ve read solutions to get the Capslock key to work on Windows when 
running under Fusion on the Mac.  Could someone remind me what options might 
exist when doing this on a Macbook Pro so I can control a Windows screen reader 
without using a full sized keyboard?

 

Thank you for any pointers here.

 

Kelly

Hi List,

I’ve sent this on as there is a link to a You Tube video of Mac Rumours 
Airpod Pro unboxing / release.

After watching it I’ve somewhat changed my mind regarding these airpod pro 
devices,

It appears they have simple media controls on the stem of the airpods,
Not toggle switchs but infact you squeeze the stem and depending on howmany 
times you have squeezed it
Certain things happen

Only thing though is being unemployed and therefore no income,]
I can’t afford to splash out for this at the moment.

I do think for those that haven’t you should have a look at this unboxing and 
the comparison between the airpods 2 and the pro also.

Cheers,

 Releases AirPods Pro
Happy Halloween! Apple this week treated us with all-new AirPods 
Pro
 with several improvements over regular AirPods, including active noise 
cancellation, IPX4-rated water and sweat resistance, and improved sound 
quality. Be sure to read our AirPods vs. AirPods Pro feature 
comparison.

AirPods Pro sport an in-ear design with three sizes of silicone ear tips, 
complete with a vent system for improved comfort. A new Ear Tip Fit Test 
feature
 located in Settings > Bluetooth on an iPhone or iPad can help determine which 
size ear tips are best for you.

AirPods Pro are priced at $249 with a wireless charging case and have been 
available to order since October 30. Apple Store pickup is also available. For 
more details, read our in-depth AirPods Pro

Screen waking up with earphones connected

[João de Sousa e Silva]

Hi,

I have an iPhone 8 updated that when I am using the earphones the screen 
wakes-up right after locking. The iPhone 7 doesn’t have sucha problem. 
It is impossible to use the iPhone 8 to listen something once Voiceover 
is always saying the hours.


Anyone else?

Best,

Re: Hey Siri not working well on HomePod after update

[João de Sousa e Silva]

I have that problem. Restarted, Siri off/on etc. Called to Apple and it 
is a general recognized problem. They said that a fix is on the go in 
the next few days. Ohhh I am so tired of these bloody updates…

I know they have had bad days in the passed but I think this is the

May be they need to stop and take a look at what they are doing before 
they start on things for 2020

To be honest, no. I have not restarted the HomePod. There was that 
problem with HomePods be bricked. And even though supposedly the 
problem solved, just call me paranoid. It’s inconsistent. Sometimes it 
works and sometimes not. Somehow I wonder if maybe Siri is just being 
slammed or something. Maybe everybody’s trying stuff. I don’t know.

Yes, you can turn hey Siri off and on. I have also tried holding
down on the play button on the HomePod itself, which will activate
Siri. It certainly helps with getting her attention, but the
results are not wonderful sometimes.

two or three times before I get any results at all. And
she comes up with the wildest stupidest things that aren’t
even close to what I requested, unless it’s something from
Apple Music. It’s crazy.
