Re: Still can't use mail after upgrade to Yosemity
Hi Are you able to get to your mail via any web portle? I know it's a pain in the butt, however, it might lead you to some answers. I am not sure how Apple handles encryption on default. Do you think somehow file encryption may have gotten turned on keeping your Internet connection from recognizing your mail app, thereby not accessing your mail? If I am off base please tell me.

Yosemity & Itunes
Hi folks, I am about to throw this computer across the room. I am trying to use Itunes as it is layed out in Yosemity. There seems to be no more sidebar allowing me to get to artist, album or song.

Re: CAnnot browse genre stations on the Mac or in Pandora app
I don't know about the Maxide however having tried to access Pandora on Windows, the site was inaccessible. I gave up. I'll use it strictly on my iPhone.

Re: a really bad problem with the Facebook app for iPad.
Hello how are you? Have you tried tapping on the newsfeed when you reopen your Facebook app? That may refresh your news feed an intern refresher notifications. Pam Francis On Oct 13, 2012, at 9:47 PM, Chris Gilland wrote: Okay. This is ridiculous! I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Normally, I am very good at figuring these things out, however, I even had my mother look, who is completely cited, and she cannot even figure it out. Here's the situation. I have a friend, actually a relative, to be more precise, who commented on a photo which I uploaded to Facebook. She also commented on a couple of textual wall posts that I created. I textual wall posts, I simply just mean status messages. Anyway, I had Facebook set up to text me every time that I get a comment to my posts. So all of a sudden, I received a text message from 32665 That tells me patricia McCorkle commented on one of my status messages. The problem is, I actually open to the Facebook app on my iPad And not on my iPhone. I sold that I had five notifications all total. I double tap the notification spy button, and that presented me with the pop up which contained all of my notifications if I could double tap on to expand and react to. Sorry for the typos before going any further by the way. I am using Siri to dictate this email, as I am not by my computer. I'm actually outside on my back screened in porch enjoying the nice weather. So please forgive me. Anyway, the problem that I am running into is, after dismissing this Papa, even if I close the app and completely get it out of my app switcher, and then go back in, I find it now, it is saying notifications zero button. Normally, this would be correct. The problem however is, Patricia Commented once again on one of my status messages, I do not even believe the same one, while I still had the Facebook app running on my iPad. I haven't closed the app before she commented the second time. Now, upon looking at the notifications icon, without first double tapping on it, I am noticing that it still is showing notifications zero. It is almost as if it is not refreshing in real time. I definitely would not however expect for it too. Ultimately, my bottom line point in all of this is to say, how do I go about refreshing my newsfeed, notifications, etc., with the iPad app specifically. I am on the most recent update. I know that with a lot of apps on my iPhone, there is a thing that says hold down to refresh. With that, I can simply double tap and then slide my finger down and it will automatically refresh. That does not seem to be happening here though. I cannot find such an icon anywhere. As I said, worst scenario, you would think that if I simply got rid of the app out of the app switcher, and then went and relaunched it from my home screen, that would Denver fresh automatically. However, that does not even seem to be working. I am just curious what needs to happen to get this to properly work. I don't know about the iPhone version, as I hardly have used it, but the iPad version looks very very promising. Again as I said: please excuse all the typos in this message. I am quite confident that there are quite a few. Usually, Siri does very well with me dictating, however, as of lately, it is really been crappy. Anyhow, I think you all get the point, nevertheless. Please do let me know, if any of you guys have any earthly idea how to get this to properly work. Just to give you a couple more specs, this is an iPad third-generation, running the very most newest version of the Facebook app, and it is currently running on iOS six. More specifically, this is the iPad third-generation, 16 gig black. Not that that matters… But just figured I would tell you anyway. Smile. Chris.

siriusxm
Hi folks, In a previous thread, someone was asking about the accessibility to the siriusxm site. I have until recently subscribed for several years. I finally gave it up largely to its inaccessibility. When Sirius & XM were separate entities, their respective sites were somewhat usable. However, since the merger, the flash & all of the pretties for the sighted community's benefit told me they no longer wanted my money nor my patronage. Their ipad App is half usable. Last I knew, their iphone app was still crap. I realize we as visually impaired consumers can not stomp our feet & throw tantrums; however, if a service takes our money as a subscription as does siriusxm, or services like it, we deserve a means to facilitate our business along side our sighted counterparts. As a general rule their customer service is outsourced to other parts of the world. Seldom did I find anyone who would help me take care of anything supposedly accessible on the site. I wish those luck who try. I have found plenty of accessible content on the web that more than makes up for the inadequacies of siriusxm.

Re: Article on Apple Maps
Hi Chris, Thanks for posting that article. I only hope they don't break accessibility while making it prettier & more detailed for the masses. Pam Francis On Sep 28, 2012, at 11:10 AM, Chris wrote: Note the following below I do not have a link for so sending the complete article. Apple CEO 'extremely sorry' for Maps flap Tim Cook says the company fell short on its commitment to its customers, and suggests using alternatives. by Roger Cheng September 28, 2012 6:07 AM PDT Apple CEO Tim Cook to the most drastic step yet to address the growing furor over its map application, saying he was "extremely sorry" for the frustration and vowing to improve the program. "With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment," Cook said in a statement, which was first reported on by TechCrunch. An apology from Apple is a rare thing, but the company has stumbled from time to time, including its recent Antennagate issue with the iPhone 4, and has been forced to address the problem. The maps flap has allowed competitors such as Motorola Mobility take a swipe at the smartphone giant, and left it vulnerable to criticism. Cook also takes the unusual step of recommending alternatives such as the Bing, MapQuest, or Waze apps, or using Google or Nokia's map Web sites while the company works to improve its app. The issue began when Apple opted to boot Google Maps from iOS6, essentially forcing customers to use its own native app, which many complain lacks details, is filled with distorted images, and provides the wrong directions. Here's the full letter: To our customers, At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better. We launched Maps initially with the first version of iOS. As time progressed, we wanted to provide our customers with even better Maps including features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps. In order to do this, we had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up. There are already more than 100 million iOS devices using the new Apple Maps, with more and more joining us every day. In just over a week, iOS users with the new Maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations. The more our customers use our Maps the better it will get and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback we have received from you. While we're improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app. Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: selling my mac
I have both an air & a macbook pro. They both have their place. However the pro, especially the 2011 edition is the last one upgradable. The air is completely sealled as are the new macbook pros. I am going to hang on to my 2011 macbook pro as long as software upgrades will allow. The air is lighter, but there is a definite trade off.
