Re: Emergency Broadcast System alerts?

2015-12-30 Thread Scott Granados 
Hi Chris, it should trigger a notification.  Not sure if it will be a loud 
alert but it would be a standard pop at a minimum.  I’m up here where we had 
our first winter weather and my watch was popping up all sorts of alerts from 
the weather service.  I’m using the IMAP weather app so not sure on the built 
in alerts but I’d think it would notify you at least.  I wouldn’t expect a 
siren or extended alarm on the watch though.

How’s that?

Thanks

That's kind of what I suspected.  Thanks for the confirmation.

Emergency Broadcast System alerts?

2015-12-30 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland 
So, we're getting horrible weather here where I live.  Flashflood warnings left 
and right.  Anyway, I got an alert with the whole really loud double tone 
scream etc. on my phone, as I have emergency alerts enabled for things like 
weather, God forbid, Amber alerts, etc.

So, my question is, my Apple Watch was in the other room when that thing went 
off, so I had no way of knowing, but will my watch also admit a siren and alert 
me of these things as well, or is that something only the IPod/IPhone/IPad 
does, but not the watch?  I'd hope! the watch would also do it, but just wanted 
to see if you all knew.

Chris.

System alerts

2012-10-14 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu 
Hi.

I have problems reading system alerts such as 'You are running on reserved 
battery etc' as I just can't seem to read them and close the alerts.  I don't 
know what I'm doing wrong but could never get the hang of it.  Can some one 
tell me the correct way of reading them please?  What I do is, choose 
application chooser by pressing Voice over F1 then going down the list until I 
find the alerts then what am I supposed to do please?

Kawal.

When the alert pops up I read it using VoiceOver's standard navigation 
keys. You can also tell the mac to speak alerts for you using the system 
voice. Go to speech (Dictation and Speech under Mountain Lion) in System 
Preferences.

RE: System alerts

2012-10-14 Thread M. Taylor 
Hi Kawal,

As far as I am concerned, the problem isn't you.  

There are times when a system alert will appear and but for the fact that I
can see the dialog box appear on my screen, I wouldn't even know it's there.


When I see a dialog box, I execute the VO+F2 command and locate the
appropriate item in the list box.

Mark
