Recommendations for a mini bluetooth keyboard to use with iPad and iPhone please

2022-03-06 Thread 'Eleanor Roberts' via MacVisionaries
Hi all 

I’m after a mini bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPad and iPhone. I don’t 
want a full-sized keyboard, as I’m a good touch typist and am used to small 
keys, +, I want a keyboard that can be easily transported taking up the least 
space possible. But that said, it does still have to be good quality/good to 
use and easy to set up. 

So if anyone has any reccomendations at all all ideas would be most gratefully 
received. 

Thanks in advance for any help. 

Eleanor

Hi all,

As of the latest iOS, I no longer seem to be able to access the options to 
create contact from within messages. Does anyone know how to get to that these

Why does Siri not speak when i plug in headphones?

2022-03-06 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello Mark,
Many thanks for your suggestion of tapping the volume up button immediately 
after asking Siri a question when listening on my iPhone over wired headphones. 
That indeed fixed the problem and after doing it once the problem seems to be 
permanently fixed. What strange behaviour!
Best … Paul Hopewell

Attention List Members: In An Hour from Now, let's talk VoiceOver Tech on Twitter Spaces

2022-03-06 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

In about an hour from now, I am going to host a short live audio session on
Twitter Spaces for list members.

Actually, this is just a test session but I would like to get a feel for how
Spaces works for us and take it from there.

If you are available, please join me.

There are several ways to fine the space.

If you follow me, on Twitter, I will send out a tweet at the start of the
Space.

If you would like to talk to me, during the Space, you must join from within
the Twitter app.  You can simply go to my profile page which it @MarkMarcus.

Or, from within the Twitter app, after selecting the Spaces Tab, near the
top of the screen, in the Spaces search edit box, type in MarkMarcus, then
hit the Search Button.  If the space is live, you will see it appear in the
results list.

Finally, if you would like to listen to the space via a web browser you can
go to:
https://twitter.com/markmarcus and take it from there.

Okay, I'll talk to you all on Twitter, in about an hour from now.

Mark

Question about batterys

2022-03-06 Thread Herbie Allen
I am trying to help two people, one has a 2020 intel Mac-book Air and another 
person with a 2020 M1 Mac-book Pro.
They are both trying to adjust the display settings on they're Macs to turn off 
after three hours. I had them both go into the battery in system preferences 
and go to power adapter. From they're, they could find the slider and adjust 
the value. when going  back in to double check however, it defaults back to the 
previous setting. I have a Macbook pro 2019 and do not have this issue. What is 
also interesting is on mine, I have the button to make and prevent changes and 
they do not but maybe that’s because I use file vault.
Another issue, the user’s VO on the  macbook pro will not turn on at startup. 
The box is checked in users and groups for it to turn on at login. Any ideas?
Herbie

Re: Creating a contact from a phone number in the Messages app

2022-03-06 Thread Brad Snyder
After double tapping on the sender’s phone number at the top of the open 
conversation, you then swipe right until you locate Info, and double tap again. 
 Now, swipe right until you locate Create New Contact, and that should do it.

HTH.

Re: Why does Siri not speak when i plug in headphones?

2022-03-06 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries
Hi,

It is normal behaviour.  There are multiple independent sound streams available 
through your iPhone.  That is, to name a few, there is the volume of VoiceOver, 
there is the ringer and alert volume, there’s the volume of the phone receiver, 
and the volume of Siri.  If you turn up or down any of those volumes, they do 
not affect the other volumes.  Therefore, if Siri is speaking too quietly, turn 
up the volume when Siri is active.  Similarly, when a phone call is active, and 
you’re having a hard time hearing the person at the other end, turn up the 
volume and it will remain at the volume you set it at during that call, and not 
affect the other volumes.

HTH.

Later…
