Hello Maurice,

Your question is unclear.

Are you asking how to change your email subscription address to an 
Apple service? Or to this group?


If you want to change your email subscription address to this group, 
then you will need to subscribe to the group, with your new email 
address, just as you did with your current email address.  Then, after 
receiving and accepting the group invitation, you can then unsubscribe 
for the group using one of the links located at the bottom of every 
group post, including this one.

Looking for suggestions on how to retrieve Wi-Fi information from my computers keychain?

[maurice.mines]

Good morning everyone, I have an interesting and perplexing problem. I 
am visiting family, but I need the password from the keychain file in 
order to connect a notetaker directly to Wi-Fi. This is so that I can 
download newspapers from NFB Newsline. And I think it would be easier to 
do it directly to where I’m going to be reading them. It should be 
mentioned here that I’m deaf blind. So listening to it is certainly 
not an option especially when I have three very young and very loud 
nieces. So using hearing aids is going to be a challenge. But rather we 
did in braille.


Back to my original question, how to get this information so that I can 
put it into the note taker. I guess the alternative is to come up with a 
directory that I can download the newspapers into that is separate from 
the downloads directory then copy the contents of that directory after 
I’ve downloaded the newspapers into this directory then copy that to a 
USB drive and then copy it to the notetaker. So can I specify a 
directory other than downloads? I hope this is enough information for 
someone to be able to come up with some suggestions?


Finally, a completely different problem I’ve been told by sighted 
people that when I create a document in word for the back the document 
comes out in braille. And of course we all know cited folks most of them 
unless they’re a trained TBI don’t know how to read braille what I 
have to do is translate the document. I don’t possess of real printers 
on trying to figure out why it’s doing this. Any thoughts? Of course I 
can read the document using the attached Braille Display. I think 
that’s it for me, be well everyone and I look forward to those 
responses. PS I dictated this to my computer in a very quiet place but 
hopefully the email is readable? Let me know if it’s not readable.


Sincerely Maurice Mines.

a question about when clown accessibility?

[maurice.mines]

Hello, the subject line pretty much states what I am interested in 
getting some comments both good and/or bad? I purchased a copy of one 
phone eight standard and I was I think able to make a backup of my Boot 
Camp partition. My major question is what happened should I need to 
restore this entire partition meeting should something happen to my 
system since I’m getting ready to do some traveling.


A related question is simply this one because I’m going to do a bit of 
traveling, should I re-encrypt my OS X partition? I turned off FileVault 
just to make it easier to go between OS X and Boot Camp partition. But 
if I’m not close to a source for reinstalling say Time Machine backup 
would be wise to go ahead and re-encrypt? Unfortunately what I’m 
experiencing is that Time Machine uses standard HFS plus file system. 
While carbon copy cloner prefers to use a PFS. Sure I could put an HFS 
partition, and an eight PFS partition on the same drive. But that would 
create issues since of course I’d have to make it GU ID for to truly 
be operating system compliant. Does anyone have any recommendations on 
how to solve this quandary.if I don’t encrypt I guess I do re-encrypt 
this might solve the issue somewhat but of course I still have to deal 
with the moving between operating systems headache of going all the way 
down into the recovery console to thus boot into the different operating 
system.


I hope this hasn’t been to difficult to follow. Here’s to see what 
all the thoughts are on this one is?


Sincerely Maurice.

Re: iCloud email address for junk

[maurice.mines]

 Hello, I have an interesting question, a lot has been made about the 
anonymous Apple email address when purchasing things, is it possible to 
get an anonymizing email address if one say for instance is writing a 
message to a group that they’re not sure who the people are but 
don’t necessarily want to get barraged by anyone who is controlling 
the group traffic to create spam messages? Any thoughts?

Hi all,
if I remember correctly I read something about creating email

re-directs the mail to your address. This prevents giving your 
direct address to companies so cuts down on spam.

Can anybody help my old memory?

Re: alternative to dragon dictate on Mac OS Sierra upgrade to Catalina not an option

[maurice.mines]

 Hello, at this time I know of nothing short of using Apple’s 
built-in dictation that is available in OS X Catalina which he said that 
you cannot upgrade to that can replace Dragon. In fact I’m using 
Dragon to dictate this message to the list. You should know however that 
nuance no longer supports Dragon for the Mac. But unfortunately apples 
was control feature that has the built-in dictation is not quite ready 
for prime time yet it essentially is a souped-up version of Siri. That 
is however just my opinion. But you may have better results if you can 
find music production software that OS X Catalina does not break.


I am just curious what software gets broken by OS X Catalina? And have 
you written the developer of said software? The other question that I 
have is which model year of Mac book, and/or MacBook Pro are you 
running? I hope my comments are helpful? Very truly yours Maurice Mines.

Re: Does the mac automatically update to the latest OS

[maurice.mines]

Good evening, if in the system preferences under software update if you 
set it to update automatically for major software upgrades it will just 
inform you that an update is available for your Mac. Then you will be 
given the choice to update now or update later. In addition the update 
screen will inform you if you must reboot your machine after the update 
completes. For some updates. Give it as a major update where a fresh 
copy of OS X must be installed it will mention to you that some of the 
updates that you just picked or more to the point the automatic update 
facility pics half to be downloaded before the update can proceed. At 
that point your machine will reboot when everything is finished 
downloading and it will boot into the recovery console to complete the 
OS upgrade. Please note while you are in them. You can use the very much 
slimmed-down version of VoiceOver  to do such task is determining the 
progress of the software installation. Then when it nears completion in 
boots into the main working portion of the operating system, you will 
get a progress bar on the screen. During all phases of this system 
update meeting a major software revision it is probably a good idea to 
keep these two things in mind. One do not unplug the machine. To really 
don’t try to do anything major beyond monitoring the  progress bar. 
When everything completes you will be prompted to login as normal. I 
hope this helps

Re: Apple watch series three Vs. five

[maurice.mines]

 Hello, I have had a series 3 and I currently have a series 5. The 
differences are days if you have a lot of outs I wouldn’t recommend 
the series 3 because it only shows not quite 12 give space. Also if 
you’re like me I am blind is well as I have a significant hearing 
loss. The speaker on the five is much better. The reason why I upgraded 
from series 3 to series 5 is that when my Series III began to falter 
after the store and I got the device straightened out and functioning 
properly we suddenly noticed that the battery has some serious 
functionality issues in other words the battery drain was significant 
enough that I thought that it would be better to just upgrade.


Let’s talk about that battery for a moment. For once the advertising 
hype is actually correct the series 5 Billy does have a 17 hour battery. 
So for me it’s a winner. In fact it is such a winter that most of the 
time if I’m doing something that I know that the phone would be a 
hindrance I just make certain I have my watch on. For the sake of 
clarity I have the cellular model. Because I do sometimes actually get 
voice calls but most of the time I use my series 5 for texting. And when 
doing a test I held the watch close to my hearing aid in an extremely 
noisy environment. And was still able to hear the watch. Just my 
thoughts on this one. And also for the record I am totally blind. I hope 
I comments here are helpful.


Sincerely Maurice Mines

How does one subscribe to the Mac rumors newsletter? And are there other newsletters that would be helpful for one who wishes to stay current with Mac/Apple related news?

[maurice.mines]

Good evening everyone my subject line hopefully explains what I’m 
after. I have had to change the email address which this newsletter 
normally comes to. So I have to resubscribe from the new email address I 
think. Also is the Mac rumored newsletter the only newsletter that would 
continue to keep me up-to-date in a timely manner with Apple related 
news? I’ve course can look at magazines, but unfortunately by the time 
one gets to a magazine article in today’s technology landscape, the 
news is old by the time you look at it in a magazine. Any thoughts?


Another thought occurs to me while I’m writing this email. I have been 
wondering should I decrypt my Mac drive which is currently encrypted 
with FileVault. This would make things potentially easier to boot 
between OS X and my Boot Camp partition. Or is it better, safer to leave 
things the way they are now.


Finally which is better, Time Machine? Or make a bootable image of my 
system using carbon copy cloner.


Please excuse combining all of this into one email but I don’t write 
on this list very much. So I hope this message isn’t too confusing to 
follow.


Sincerely Maurice Mines.

How to change the boys on my brand-new Apple watch?

[maurice.mines]

Hello, hi for very interesting set of reasons had to upgrade my Apple 
Watch this past weekend. Now I’m trying to figure out how to separate 
its voice from my phone. I’ve gotten several different answers in 
general from Apple disability tech support. So is there a 
straightforward way to do this? It is a brand-new series 5  watch, 
running of course the latest version of watch OS.  Thank you in advance 
for any suggestions and/or guidance someone on the list has to offer.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Trackpad issues on an old High Sierra machine?

[maurice.mines]

Hello everyone I remember a post a week or two ago I think that 
discussed issues with the trackpad and I’d send a vaguely remember 
that it talked about the Device given up the ghost at times. Is that a 
permit issue but the machine of this age. I believe it’s a 2010 
MacBook. Unfortunately the friend is a single mom on a very limited 
income. So up grading it’s probably not an option. Any thoughts?

Re: How to use the adjustable index in the broadcast radio section of Apple Music on iOS 13

[maurice.mines]

 Hello everyone, let me make certain I’m understanding something this 
is the Bates music service? Because the message earlier made it sound 
like these are live quote local radio stations” unless I’m missing 
something that is simply not the case. These are Apple Music channels? 
Hopefully somebody can direct me to where this supposedly is. But at 
this point I don’t think I’ll be getting rid of my satellite radio 
in the meantime soon. Any thoughts, any suggestions?


Sincerely Maurice Mines.

If you have updated to iOS 13, you can go into the Music app, and you 
will find that there is a radio tab. New in this tab is a section for 
broadcast radio. Right after the heading that says broadcast radio, 
which is the last heading in the whole tab, there is a “See all“ 
button. If you double tap that, voiceover announces section index, 
adjustable. I cannot figure out anyway to adjust this supposed index. 
And all you get in terms of radio stations is a very few. There are 
100,000 supposedly. So it’s pretty clear that you need to be able to 
move through this index. Does anybody know how to accomplish that?

Re:

Hello, Becky are you wanting to upgrade the operating system? Or are you 
wanting to just hop read the main completely. If it’s the software I 
would attempt to upgrade it to macOS Mojave and see how things go.


If you’re looking to upgrade the machine physically meaning yet a 
Mormon machine, then I might try telling it through a reputable 
third-party Energy something like the Zell or something like Gazell they 
sell used equipment and I think they give the seller some percentage of 
what the other party paid for yet. But I don’t know what their 
processes, and how old of a Quitman they will sell, or anything like 
this. Check with that company to see what their terms are.


Finally like the other gentleman advised, figure out what you’re using 
the machine for. And then figure out if it still meeting your needs. And 
then you can go from there.

it is going too slow for you and you can’t update it any more then 
maybe it’s time to upgrade. But if it is still doing everything you

Re: dragon dictate for Mac replacement?

[maurice.mines]

Hello everyone, there is a replacement for the software. But if you’re 
not in my position yet here you used it yet and Catalina becomes 
official. That’s probably why you’ve heard new ones is abandoning 
dictation software OK I Dragon on the Mac. Hope this helps.

Re: Parallels ?

[maurice.mines]

Hi, as far as Pino parallels is not really usable unless something has 
changed. But VMware fusion is very usable. Both software packages do the 
same thing. That is virtualize child operating systems when running OS X 
as the host. I hope this helps.

which boot camp backup utility works best? Read below?

[maurice.mines]

Hello, I have to come up with a way to backup my boot camp partition. I 
can think of three potential solutions. Which one love these three 
methods makes the most sense?


One use Win  Clone? Two, use Boot Camp backup from Paragon software. 
Three virtualize the Windows using VMware?


The third option sounds appealing however my big question is will that 
software allow me to take my current Boot Camp partition and essentially 
cloning it to a virtual machine.


Number two. If I use Boot Camp backup from Paragon software, is it 
possible to reverse the process? In other words take the backup of the 
Boot Camp partition and restore it to an already made Boot Camp 
partition? And just how difficult would that be under OS X?


And the  other option, is when clone, is it accessible? And the above 
concerns how would one go about restoring the backed up boot camp data? 
Any thoughts?


If someone has a better suggestion, I’m certainly open to the 
suggestion? Hopefully I’ve given enough information that someone has a 
good solid suggestion for how to deal with this?


Finally the device that all this data is going to be backed up to, is an 
external SSD drive. I hope this helps?

a word for Mac question?

[maurice.mines]

Hi, is there an easy way to get out of all of the menu options in 
Microsoft Word 2016 for the Mac. If I can get out of all those menus, I 
can edit a document just fine, in the same manner that one would edit a 
document if one were in the other operating system. In other words when 
I’m getting out if I can just get to the document itself without all 
the controls getting in the way, I can read and edit without hindrance. 
And in the long run it will save me a significant effect of time. If 
anyone have any good suggestions?

a question about partition maps on a very large thumb drive?

[maurice.mines]

Hi, here’s the situation I am trying to get a very large thumb drive 
ready for use. When I go to format the drive and disk utility. I asked 
what partition map what I like to use. Which of the following choices 
makes the most sense? GU ID, MBR, or Apple partition map?


The thumb drive in question is 250 GB. This machine does have a boot 
camp area. Does the type of partition map matter in the long  For 
instance if I set this to “guid ”  or should it stay and be Mbr  to 
allow for both operating systems to access this drive? Any thoughts?

Re: Is IOS 13 in public beta?

[maurice.mines]

I thought that they normally don’t release a version mobile wells for 
public beta Intel mid too late July at the earliest. Has that changed?


There is one feature that I’m excited but slightly concerned about for 
obvious reasons, while I want to get rid of junk phone callers just like 
anyone else, extending colors that are in one’s context to voicemail 
is going to cause a bit of a problem sometime a deaf blind person. 
Luckily for me my voicemail directs people to a relay service for the 
deaf and deaf blind. Those folks at least I think should be warned that 
the call volumes are up to the way up. Hopefully the relay service can 
tell the difference between a legitimate color and some quick buck are 
best who was trying to use relay to perpetrate something not nice. Any 
thoughts?


Outside of all of that I do have one question what the list I just got a 
focus 14. I’m using it with USB just simply because the Bluetooth 
interface appears to not be compatible with the West 10. From working 
with someone cited, the device payers but the entering the code box 
comes up so fast that it’s impossible to type in the characters that 
would complete the pairing process I’m assuming this is a known 
phenomenon. Other any thoughts on whether this unit can actually do 
Bluetooth with my MacBook Pro? Or is it the way I really think it is, 
but I’m stuck using the USB see cable.

Re: Interesting observation

[maurice.mines]

Okay, I’m assuming that you are accessing this via the web I hope? Two 
what version of the iPhone are you running, what version of Bio OS are 
you running? Because I’ve never had a problem with the Facebook app 
however what I do run into trouble I just go to the web and use the web 
interface. I also when using Facebook messenger use a older wrap because 
the accessibility is better. However it is a OS X app. And when using 
the actual Facebook website should I run into problems then I go use the 
mobile site on the computer. Hopefully these few suggestions might be  
helpful to some.

Hi all,
I made an interesting observation on the weekend regarding the 
facebook app for the iPhone. I finally deleted my facebook account 
and the associated Apps off my iPhone.
I have an 8+ and as soon as I deleted the facebook app and the 
messenger app off it the speed of my phone went back to the speed it 
was running when I first got it. I hadn’t really notice it slowing 
down over the last year as it was gradual,  I could have a conspiracy 
theory about facebook, but I’m guessing it was just a very hungry 
app as far as using up resources on the device.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this?

Looking for a good backup, and restore program?

Good evening everyone, I have an interesting, and perplexing problem. I am 
looking to change which backup software I use. I have pours have Time Machine, 
for disasters. But I wanted to try installing carbon copy cloner, but the trial 
expired before I could install the trial. So that is out. I’m thinking about 
super, duper? But does anyone have anything that they really like? Be curious 
to see the responses?

A few, but very few, know where I am, and what I’m doing. One might also be 
curious to know that I use a braille sense right now as a braille display, but 
I’m probably going to switch to the human where braille display line just 
because the displays appear to be better made. And that’s just personal 
opinion. The real question is about imaging software on the Mac? Thank you all 
very much in advance? I will look at this thread tomorrow morning when I get up 
and again just before the class where I’m not have to make a decision download 
and install the software.

Re: Apple watch tutorials

[maurice.mines]

Good afternoon everyone, I couldn’t resist. I have had the Apple Watch for 
about a month now. And I am positively impressed. So far, I’ve not had too many 
issues. It is a tiny bit different as a person who was learning how to be deaf 
blind. In case you’re wondering, let me explain. I am currently a student at 
the Helen Keller national Center for deaf and blind used in adults. It the main 
reason why I wound up buying the watch, is because my iPhone had to be turned 
into a communications device. Thanks similar to an iPad. So this created a bit 
of a challenge or friends, family, etc. to reach me. Basically what happens now 
is while staff are using my phone to contact me at least now I get a tactile 
reminder that there is an email, text message, or other communication from the 
above-mentioned groups that is waiting for me directly. The other benefit for 
me so far has been that when I set an alarm, say wake up each morning. I can 
set it on the launch it vibrates the same for the most part as the phone does. 
The added benefit is that the phone can stay where it normally stays in order 
to charge at night. I am such a light sleeper, that the watch vibrations 
generally do wake me up each morning. I’ve also been able to start it to 
tactfully remind me that it is the end of the class day should I have a class 
where I am essentially doing an independent study session. I’ve also 
successfully used at the time other things, such as laundry, as well as when I 
need to be at something that essence an activity that fits into class time 
precisely.

I hope my comments help anyone who may be reading this conversation, and 
wonders if the watch is right for them. I must stress however, that the watch 
may not be for everybody. I must admit that when I first purchased it, I 
thought okay I’m here to learn new things, let’s see if this is a beneficial 
use of the amount of money that it cost to purchase the watch.

Sincerely  maurice mines.

Re: boot camp in sierra

[maurice.mines]

Good morning, I am running a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and am having no problems 
with my Boot Camp partition I also did beta testing this summer, and I had 
absolutely no problems with boot camp. My only issue right now, is the fact 
that I need to find updated drivers for my Windows 10 side of the computer. For 
instance I have to reboot into Mac OS by hand when I’m in Windows. There 
normally is a start up disk area if you will, that will allow the machine to be 
booted into whichever operating system you wish to use. Any thoughts from 
anyone on the list? Hope all is well, Maurice mines.

Re: in public defense of those who beta test Apple software

[maurice.mines]

Good evening, I too have been a beta tester for the last three summers. I 
almost didn’t do it this summer because for the first time I am actually really 
very much deaf blind these days. But the good far outweighed any of my 
concerns. And like the person when responding to I don’t discuss what’s in 
prerelease software. The only time I will do it is when it can be done very 
discreetly and handled in a professional manner i.e. with a developer of a 
major piece of adaptive software. In other words what I’m getting at here is 
that if I have to discuss something that can be harmful to us as blind people 
with a developer, with the understanding that the discussion doesn’t leave us, 
that is the only instance when I break a nondisclosure agreement. Because many 
moons ago I used to administrate over a beta test program, I don’t know how me 
on this list remember the old outspoken software title, remember that it was 
for the very old McIntosh computers, and up until Windows 95 was also run on 
those computers as well. I was asked in addition to doing tech support stuff at 
one time to administrate over a beta test program, and the only folks I laden 
were engineers, and other professionals long with talking over with my boss at 
the time when the availing folks we approved were professional strictly because 
of some of what we are discussing on the list. And the concerns about what some 
major disability related pod casters choose to do, most of them if they’re 
smart clear their podcasts with the vendors in question before they release 
podcasts that share proprietary information. Or at least, I hope they do that 
would just be good common sense to avoid a potential lawsuit. However I 
certainly agree with Ray, it is certainly up to the company that has imposed 
the nondisclosure agreement on a beta tester to enforce it. The problem here is 
the court of public opinion. The media sometimes put stories out that big stent 
looked like society is nailing a disabled person, without sharing the full 
story. And so that can sometimes make a company look bad, when it was the 
customers fault that something happened. So I think some of apples appearance 
of not enforcing their nondisclosure agreement, is simply because you don’t 
want bad press. It also depends on the severity of the breach of 
confidentiality if it’s a minor feature that leaks, then it’s probably no big 
deal. But if it’s a large feature a.k.a. most of the company’s core business 
necessity, they are definitely going to come down on some money who does that 
because not all companies are the size of Apple, and/or Microsoft used for 
example here, particularly in the adaptive technology world, most companies are 
very small. So breaking a nondisclosure agreement most companies in our field 
can even mean to accompany going out of business. I guess the moral of the very 
lengthy story is this, think before you start spilling the beans. Who are you 
really benefiting, and are you hurting the disability comunity more than 
helping, because companies like Apple who make public betas available might 
think twice about letting those of us in the adaptive technology field, and the 
disability community in general beta test something if they feel that they’re 
being taken advantage of it takes years to get goodwill from large corporations 
like Apple and Microsoft. Let’s not go out and destroy that goodwill because 
that’s how we get whatever we want to get done on our computers goodwill and 
the law a.k.a. let’s keep the bridge there not blow the bridge up so that 
already have is the bottom of whatever body of water that which was once over. 
The end

Re: iOS 10 Bug Report: Please Join Me in Sending This VoiceOver Bug Report to Apple Regarding the Phone App

[maurice.mines]

I was part of the Beta test, and this occurred rarely for me. So I don’t see a 
reason for me to amplify this. Because I think it would be tough for them to 
replicated my try going to the Genius Bar instead. To see if you can get the 
issue fixed 6s.  so that might make a difference in how I’m thinking about

Re: Using Siri on a Mac Mini with sierra

[maurice.mines]

Good morning, I believe OS X Sierra is released on the 20th. I don’t own a 
mini, but a full Mac, so I can’t help you with microphone suggestions, but I 
would try to find a low-cost USB microphone, and/or headset and try them out 
and see which one you like. I think that would be the best potential solution 
to your problem. Because my guess is that the compatibility list if there is 
one, would be far too long to spark a specific model, so trial and error might 
be the best approach? Let’s see what other people suggest? Be well, Maurice.

Re: Accessible online banking / Bank America

[maurice.mines]

Good afternoon, if you’re talking about the new Bank of America mobile app, it 
is roughly 90% accessible. Unfortunately with apps like this, there are some 
challenges. The issues you will fine are particularly in secured areas of the 
app. But the basic things work, I was able to set up a password and check my 
balance. I think that’s what most people use the app for. I’ve not tried any of 
the other features, but I will pass on my experiences if someone will find them 
to be helpful in the future. All the best, Maurice.

Re: This blind Apple engineer is transforming the tech world at only 22

[maurice.mines]

Good afternoon, I figured I’d chime in on this thread, my computing life 
somewhat goes like this Windows for a great number of years, then I wind up 
going to grad school and switching completely to the Mac, now rehab tells me 
that in order to get any type of employment I must use Windows, instead of a 
Mac. In truth I’m quite comfortable with both operating systems. However I 
spend most of my time on the Mac side of the house, because the dictation 
software that I’m using to write this response is on the Mac side, however some 
of the applications such as a specialized application that I use for amateur 
radio stuff is on the Windows side only, and some of the wordprocessing things 
that I have to do in office are primarily on the Windows side. I guess what I’m 
getting at here is that I use whatever operating system, and applications best 
gets a particular task done. I’m not a programmer, but I’ve got this idea for 
an application in my head and in my spare time I’m trying to figure out the 
best way to maybe one day in the distant future make it into a reality. That 
will just have to come later. As far is the discussion about using braille, 
these days I’m very definitely deaf blind so you can guess that braille is a 
very large part of my computing experience due to the fact that if there’s 
something, that I just can’t hear, I have to be able to read it and not rely on 
synthetic speech. And these days I like to have my braille by a Bluetooth, 
fewer cables connecting our devices I think is a good thing from an overall 
safety standpoint however the hassles and using Bluetooth, or whatever short 
range communications method may come in the future it is likely to outweigh the 
issues of not having a physical cable between the devices. Just my thoughts on 
this. On July like afternoon in the Pacific Northwest part of the United States.

Re: semi-ot: Sonar virtual machines and dealing with virtual box

[maurice.mines]

I have a question his virtual box usable with voiceover in any way, shape, or 
form? From the very little bit of research that I’ve done on this issue 
previously it was thought that virtual box is completely unusable with 
voiceover, this is still the conventional wisdom? Thank you in advance for your 
time, and eventual response to my question.

 One thing I had excellent luck with was Ubuntu under vmware fusion.  You 
 can install it and boot with speech and you pretty much use the normal 
 image creation tool, select the image, enter the type of Linux and give it 
 a few minutes to build a VM.
 
 That might be something to try.

How to set up Facebook posts to be a text message?

[maurice.mines]

Good afternoon, I’m looking for some advice on how to set up Facebook so that 
it behaves like a message, so that I can use it in messages? Does anyone know 
how to do this? It’s one of the very few things that I’ve not done on my Mac. 
Hope everyone’s afternoon is going well. If you wish to respond off list, feel 
free to write to kd0...@arrl.net  that way our conversation will not clutter up 
the list. Thanks for any help them and might be willing to offer in advance.

Re: Halo devices with hearing aids and iPod

[maurice.mines]

Good afternoon, I use my iPhone, MacBook Pro, and other non-Apple devices with 
a Bluetooth hearing aid system. The system seems to work pretty well with all 
of these devices about 90% of the time. However lately with the update to IOS 
9.3 there been some strange quirks, and how they operate. Before this system 
late last year, I had many of the problems that you have mentioned. If you 
contact me off list, but a different email address them going to give you, and 
put something in the subject line it lets me know that it is indeed you, I 
might have some resources that might be able to help you out? I hope this helps.

Problems with a specialized device, my iPhone success in my mid-2012 MacBook Pro.

[maurice.mines]

Hello, I am having a very interesting problem, with the devices that I use 
interacting well together.

One, whenever I get an alert, email, text message, etc. from my iPhone success, 
my MacBook Pro, somehow tells my hearing aid streamer, a calm pilot to made by 
Phonak,  a Swedish hearing aid maker. Whenever the above-mentioned kind of 
alerts appear on my phone the computer regardless of what I’m doing which is to 
launch iTunes, no matter what I seem to do to prevent this behavior it happens 
constantly.

The calm pilot is connected to the MacBook Pro via Bluetooth. I have mentioned 
this situation both my audiologist, and Apple tech support both the regular 
support, and the disability support offices, the answer that I get from Apple 
so far is that because of the underlying technologies involved in iTunes in 
order to fix the problem would potentially cause stability issues with the 
operating system told us they are not allowed to help me with this issue. I am 
deaf buying and I’m getting very frustrated with the situation, does anyone 
have any good suggestions? I’m curious to know what everyone’s thoughts are. 
Because it is making my computer use very stressful.
