Very wonderful program really, but how will I put this ring tone on my I
tunes? And I think we can make it more than 30 seconds?

I just use a combination of iRinger and iTunes on my PC. I tried an app 
called Ringtone Remix, but it doesn't install the tones on the phone.

Go to settings, general, accessibility, VoiceOver, use compact. Note 
this only appears if you have the HQ voice installed.

Re: random occurence?????

[Victor Hugo]

When you open zello, if you aren't wearing headphones the sound goes to the ear 
speaker on the phone, in order for the sound to be restored you have to take 
zello out of the app switcher, because even when you power down zello still 
controls the sound.

Afew minutes ago I attempted to make use of the app, Zello. Things went well 
until I exited the app. Voice-over was severely diminished, even when I shut 
down my Iphone 4 and turned it back on. I checked the sound level and was told 
it was at 100%. I then attempted to load another sound-using app, Atbat 2012 
and this seemed to have negated the problem, so for those of you using Zello, 
be aware.

maybe it would let me double tap and enter these things, but no. I've ended
everything in app switcher, and I've restarted the phone, but I still can't

I am using a 4S with 5.1.1. Has anyone ever seenthis before? Does anyone
have any ideas for me?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Accessible Fruitmachine is available in the App store

[Phil Vlasak]

Hi Folks,
I'm guessing that an Accessible Fruit machine game is a slot machine.
  
Slots or so named fruit machine games are surely belongs to the most preferred 
games online. Fruit machine has a colorful and exhilarating history that began 
in the 1800s. However visitors in the past required to visit a land based 
casino to spin a few, now with the era of the on-line casinos, everyone who 
have PC and web access may gamble any time they want. In addition a lot of 
online casinos let you gamble your favorite fruit machine for free or for real 
money.



The first slot machine was invented by Charles Fey in the early 1800s. It was 
named "Liberty Bell". The machine contained symbols of bells and horseshoes on 
the reels and also gambling cards. The intention of the game was simply to 
obtain the greatest potential poker hands in order to gain. The users were 
allowed to hold the reels they wanted to keep and spin the others again, hoping 
to get a far better hand than the previous one. The simplicity of slot machines 
is the same as the additionally preferred scratch and win games. All you need 
is pure luck to gain considerable amounts within a few seconds. That is the 
most important reason why those types of games are so common amongst the online 
gamblers all around the world.

Re: Siri Problem

[Kimber Gardner]

I've had this happen too. I was using Siri to text all evening then
all of a sudden she just quit responding. Restarting the phone seems
to fix the problem.

Hi list,
I have a question about removing drm from a book that I purchased in the
itunes store.
My reason for wanting to do this, is because I would like to read it on
my pc rather than with iBooks, and because of the drm, firefox can't
open the ebook.
I have looked into this, and the closest I could come to a solution, is
a program called requiem, which removes drm from files which you have
purchased.
I have tried to use it, I had to downgrade my itunes first, which was fine.
However, I have no idea what the program is doing when it runs, as I
think its written in java, so all I can read on the screen is requiem
finished.
The program claims to scan your itunes library automatically, but I have
no idea if it does this.
Unfortunately the only other way to point the program to files, is to
drag and drop them on to the program window which of course isn't
possible for us.
So, does anyone have experience of using this program? or have any
thoughts about how else I can open my book on the pc.
Many thanks for your help,
Alex.

Hi Michael, 

In one of his posts, Jonathan mentioned that not all countries will see the
app available at the same time.  He was hoping within the next day or so.  

I'm looking forward to the game too.

RE: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

[Debbi Williamson]

Thanks, Mark.  I have been a little intimidated about doing the reset but,
I'm sure I'll just do it.  Thanks again.

Subject: RE: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

Hello Debbi,  

I suspect that you are experiencing what many of us have; thus, I would
suggest that you perform the reset.  Please be aware that while doing this
will not erase your media, you will need to provide some network passwords.


Rest assured that if VoiceOver is running before you perform the reset, it
will automatically start after the reset.

Since posting last night, I have received about 20 off-list replies of
people reporting the same problem and how they resolved it using the reset
all option.  

Because of this, I have cleaned up the text in my original post and posted
it to Candle Shore.  

The following is a slightly revamped version of my original post:

Resolution To Loss Of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problem On iPhone 4 S After
Upgrading To iOS 5.1.x

Hello Everyone,  

After updating to iOS 5.1 or thereabouts, my iPhone 4 S began losing Wi-Fi
connectivity; in the last couple of days it had gotten to an almost
intolerable level; dropping the connection after less than 10 seconds after
each lock of the display screen.

I resolved the issue, the solution to which being so simple that it almost
hurts me to post it but I will do so in hopes of sparing others a long and
unnecessary troubleshooting experience.  

1.
Yes, I reset the router but doing so had no effect, as I suspected that it
would not, given that my Windows computers and my Mac connected just fine.  

2.
>From the iPhone's Settings menu I chose to reset the network connection.
This had no effect, either.

3.
Turning to iTunes, I decided to Restore my phone; immediately followed by
restoring a previously saved backup.  As it turned out, this was not
necessary, however.  In fact, if I had not placed a previously saved backup
image on the phone after restoring, I suspect the problem would have been
resolved then and there.  Of course, in such a scenario, I would have had to
rebuild my phone's data and media structure, something I dread even under
the best of circumstances.

At this point, let me state that I am amazed at how well iTunes placed the
backup system on my phone.  It took a while but, when completed, the phone
looked identical to its former self; so much so that the problem got
restored right along with the backup (smile). 

4.
When my problem persisted, I turned to the web and discovered that many,
many people were complaining of the same symptoms as I.  The general
consensus is that v5.1.1 has broken something in the 4 S.  

5.
I decided to schedule an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar in order to
confirm that the phone's Wi-Fi receiver was not damaged.  

6.
Reflecting on what I had just read on the web, I decided to update my iPhone
4 from iOS 4.3 to 5.1.1 to see if I could re-create the problem.  As strange
as it may sound, I was hoping that I could for doing so would confirm that
the issue was software and not hardware related; this would allow me to
cancel my Genius Bar appointment.

7.
In addition to updating my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS, I decided to fire up
my old iPhone 3GS as well and let it get in on the party.  By the way, my
3GS is still running iOS 3.x.

8.
To my astonishment, I could not re-create the problem on either my 3GS or my
4 running 5.1.1.  This furthered my suspicion that my problem lay in the 4 S
hardware.  

9.
Returning to Google, I located an article that suggested that people
experiencing this issue should do the following:  

Now, let me just say that after doing the following, my iPhone 4 S is
running as smooth as Tupelo honey, Honey!  Its Wi-Fi connectivity is
rock-solid.

On the iPhone, go to the Settings menu.
Next, select General.
Next, select Reset.
Finally, select Reset All Settings.  You will need to confirm your
selection.  

To my extreme delight, I discovered that while doing this fixed my Wi-Fi
connection problem, it did not reset all of my settings such as SMTP
servers, passwords, etc.  In fact, after performing the reset, I was back up
and running in a matter of minutes.

Good Luck To All And To All, Good Luck,

Mark

Congratulations on your new phone. If you will take the time to visit
http://www.applevis.com you will find a myriad applications from games to
music to business etc. It's a wonderful resource and one which will come in
hhand more than once. One game though which I personally would recommend is
stem stumper. It has a number of different levels and various difficulty
levels.

searches, crossword puzzles, anything like that is also awesome.

RE: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

[Veronica Elsea]

You know, now that you mention it, I've had a few instances lately 
when I tried to send an imessage to someone and it didn't go, din't 
go and just didn't go, then went as a text. And I'm wondering if 
losing track of wireless could be behind some of the Siri 
difficulties as well. Lately, if Siri is going to act up for me, it 
seems to happen when I'm out. Yes, right when I really need her. Hahahaha!

But an interesting thing to watch, for sure. Thanks.

Hello Lois,

You know, you make a good point.  I remember reading on the web that many
people discovered that they had, in fact, racked up some serious data usage
after not realizing that they were accessing info via their cell connection
rather than via Wi-Fi.

I must admit, after resolving this issue, I noticed how much faster apps
such as CNN, Safari, etc run given that now they are using the Wi-Fi.

To those of you who have recently updated to the latest version of iOS,
please be aware that the loss most often occurs after locking the display
screen or if there is no phone activity after 10 minutes or so.  Also be
aware that, from time-to-time, the signal can and does automatically
reconnect but not for long.

I didn't see the problem until I read Mark's post.  It then noticed that I
had no wifi.  I did the reset all and found that I had to redo several
things.  It's worth it if I stay connected though.  I hope I didn't rack up
a bunch of data usage before I noticed.

Hello Everyone,

First, let me thank all of you who replied to my inquiry.

Second,  Let me say that I resolved the issue which was so simple it hurts
me to post it but I will do so in hopes of sparing others a long and lengthy
troubleshooting experience.

As I posted in my previous message, my iPhone 4 S began losing Wi-Fi
connectivity.  Actually, I noticed it a while back but in the last couple of
days it had gotten to an almost intolerable level; dropping the connection
after less than 10 seconds or so.

1.
Yes, I reset the router but doing so had no effect as I suspected that it
would not given that my Windows computers and my Mac connected just fine.

2.
From the iPhone's Settings menu I chose to reset the network connection.
This had no effect, as well.

3.
Turning to iTunes, I decided to Restore my phone; immediately followed by
restoring a previously saved backup.  As it turned out, this was not
necessary however, if I had not placed a backup system on the phone, I
suspect the problem would have been resolved then and there.

At this point, let me state that I am amazed at how well iTunes placed the
backup system on my phone.  It took a while but, when completed,the phone
looked identical to its former self.

4.
When my problem persisted, I turned to the web and discovered that many,
many people were complaining of the same symptoms as I.  The general
consensus is that v5.1.1 has broken something in the 4 S.

5.
For whatever reason, I decided to take my phone to the Genius Bar just to
confirm that the actual receiver was not damaged.

6.
Reflecting on what I had just read on the web, I decided to update my iPhone
4 to 5.1.1 to see if I could re-create the problem.  As strange as it may
sound, I was hoping that I could for doing so would confirm that the issue
was software and not hardware related; this would allow me to cancel my
Genius Bar appointment.

7.
So, after updating my iPhone 4, I decided to fire up my old iPhone 3GS as
well and let it get in on the party.  By the way, my 3GS is still running
iOS 3.x.

8.
To my astonishment, I could not re-create the problem on either my 3GS or my
4 running 5.1.1.  This furthered my suspicion that my problem lay in the 4 S
hardware.

9.
Back to Google and an obscure article that suggested that people
experiencing this issue should do the following:

Now, let me just say that after doing the following, my iPhone 4 S is
running as smooth as Tupelo honey, Honey!

On the iPhone 4 S go to the Settings menu.
Next, select General.
Next, select Reset.
Finally, select Reset All Settings.  You will need to confirm your

RE: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

[Veronica Elsea]

Thanks Mark, for such a detailed post. I love these kinds of posts 
for two reasons.

First, it's a nice easy to follow description of what to do.
Second, it really shows me that I'm not the only one who has ever 
taken a very long detour around to a simple fix to a problem. 
So thanks again for this. I'm really enjoying the various discussions 
on this list right now. Thanks, all of you!

Hello Debbi,

I suspect that you are experiencing what many of us have; thus, I would
suggest that you perform the reset.  Please be aware that while doing this
will not erase your media, you will need to provide some network passwords.


Rest assured that if VoiceOver is running before you perform the reset, it
will automatically start after the reset.

Since posting last night, I have received about 20 off-list replies of
people reporting the same problem and how they resolved it using the reset
all option.

Because of this, I have cleaned up the text in my original post and posted
it to Candle Shore.

The following is a slightly revamped version of my original post:

Resolution To Loss Of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problem On iPhone 4 S After
Upgrading To iOS 5.1.x

Hello Everyone,

After updating to iOS 5.1 or thereabouts, my iPhone 4 S began losing Wi-Fi
connectivity; in the last couple of days it had gotten to an almost
intolerable level; dropping the connection after less than 10 seconds after
each lock of the display screen.

I resolved the issue, the solution to which being so simple that it almost
hurts me to post it but I will do so in hopes of sparing others a long and
unnecessary troubleshooting experience.

1.
Yes, I reset the router but doing so had no effect, as I suspected that it
would not, given that my Windows computers and my Mac connected just fine.

2.

This had no effect, either.

3.
Turning to iTunes, I decided to Restore my phone; immediately followed by
restoring a previously saved backup.  As it turned out, this was not
necessary, however.  In fact, if I had not placed a previously saved backup
image on the phone after restoring, I suspect the problem would have been
resolved then and there.  Of course, in such a scenario, I would have had to
rebuild my phone's data and media structure, something I dread even under
the best of circumstances.

At this point, let me state that I am amazed at how well iTunes placed the
backup system on my phone.  It took a while but, when completed, the phone
looked identical to its former self; so much so that the problem got
restored right along with the backup (smile).

4.
When my problem persisted, I turned to the web and discovered that many,
many people were complaining of the same symptoms as I.  The general
consensus is that v5.1.1 has broken something in the 4 S.

5.
I decided to schedule an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar in order to
confirm that the phone's Wi-Fi receiver was not damaged.

6.
Reflecting on what I had just read on the web, I decided to update my iPhone
4 from iOS 4.3 to 5.1.1 to see if I could re-create the problem.  As strange
as it may sound, I was hoping that I could for doing so would confirm that
the issue was software and not hardware related; this would allow me to
cancel my Genius Bar appointment.

7.
In addition to updating my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS, I decided to fire up
my old iPhone 3GS as well and let it get in on the party.  By the way, my
3GS is still running iOS 3.x.

8.
To my astonishment, I could not re-create the problem on either my 3GS or my
4 running 5.1.1.  This furthered my suspicion that my problem lay in the 4 S

Returning to Google, I located an article that suggested that people
experiencing this issue should do the following:

Now, let me just say that after doing the following, my iPhone 4 S is
running as smooth as Tupelo honey, Honey!  Its Wi-Fi connectivity is
rock-solid.

On the iPhone, go to the Settings menu.
Next, select General.
Next, select Reset.
Finally, select Reset All Settings.  You will need to confirm your
selection.

To my extreme delight, I discovered that while doing this fixed my Wi-Fi
connection problem, it did not reset all of my settings such as SMTP
servers, passwords, etc.  In fact, after performing the reset, I was back up
and running in a matter of minutes.

Good Luck To All And To All, Good Luck,

Mark

This issue may not have to do with Zello after all. It may be a software 
issue with the latest version of IOS. I attempted to load yet another app, 
which name perhapse the messages app, or the phone app in order to add a 
contact and the same thing occured. Voice levels went down approximately 
75%, only when I re-loaded another audio app did the voice come back.

You are absolutely correct, Fred.  I had the same issue when I installed
Zello; it disturbed me so much that I removed the app and do not plan on
re-installing it.

The last thing I need is something messing with my audio levels especially
when I'm out and about.

Afew minutes ago I attempted to make use of the app, Zello. Things went well
until I exited the app. Voice-over was severely diminished, even when I shut
down my Iphone 4 and turned it back on. I checked the sound level and was
told it was at 100%. I then attempted to load another sound-using app, Atbat

Re: Using the FaceTime app

[Veronica Elsea]

Yes, face time does require wi fi because it would really chew up a 
lot of data charges on 3G. And yes, it defaults to the front facing 
camera, but it's really easy to switch. It's also easy just to turn 
the phone around sometimes because the nice thing about Face time is 
that you don't have to be close to the speaker at all for talking purposes.

At 07:47 PM 5/12/2012, you wrote:
So when using face time, I assumed it would switch to the front

From the description, it sounds like you have control even when 
using that app, to somehow switch to the back camera. I haven't use 
FT yet. Unfortunately, my husband has an Android phone. But I have a 
good friend who is sighted who has an IPhone, so I could actually 
take advantage of her assistance on occasion.

Re: random occurence?????

[Victor Hugo Gallegos]

When opening Zella, and you aren't wearing headphones the sound routes to the 
ear piece, to get the sound routed back to the main  speaker double tap on any 
channel, then double tap on options, the first button is turn on speaker, that 
will fix it.
Whenever you're done using zella take it off the app switcher, so that it won't 
control your audio settings.

RE: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

[M. Taylor]

Hello Lois,  

You know, you make a good point.  I remember reading on the web that many
people discovered that they had, in fact, racked up some serious data usage
after not realizing that they were accessing info via their cell connection
rather than via Wi-Fi.

I must admit, after resolving this issue, I noticed how much faster apps
such as CNN, Safari, etc run given that now they are using the Wi-Fi.  

To those of you who have recently updated to the latest version of iOS,
please be aware that the loss most often occurs after locking the display
screen or if there is no phone activity after 10 minutes or so.  Also be
aware that, from time-to-time, the signal can and does automatically
reconnect but not for long.

Mark

I didn't see the problem until I read Mark's post.  It then noticed that I
had no wifi.  I did the reset all and found that I had to redo several
things.  It's worth it if I stay connected though.  I hope I didn't rack up

Subject: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

Hello Everyone,

First, let me thank all of you who replied to my inquiry.

Second,  Let me say that I resolved the issue which was so simple it hurts
me to post it but I will do so in hopes of sparing others a long and lengthy
troubleshooting experience.

As I posted in my previous message, my iPhone 4 S began losing Wi-Fi
connectivity.  Actually, I noticed it a while back but in the last couple of
days it had gotten to an almost intolerable level; dropping the connection
after less than 10 seconds or so.

1.
Yes, I reset the router but doing so had no effect as I suspected that it
would not given that my Windows computers and my Mac connected just fine.

2.
>From the iPhone's Settings menu I chose to reset the network connection.
This had no effect, as well.

3.
Turning to iTunes, I decided to Restore my phone; immediately followed by
restoring a previously saved backup.  As it turned out, this was not
necessary however, if I had not placed a backup system on the phone, I
suspect the problem would have been resolved then and there.

At this point, let me state that I am amazed at how well iTunes placed the
backup system on my phone.  It took a while but, when completed,the phone
looked identical to its former self.

4.
When my problem persisted, I turned to the web and discovered that many,
many people were complaining of the same symptoms as I.  The general
consensus is that v5.1.1 has broken something in the 4 S.

5.
For whatever reason, I decided to take my phone to the Genius Bar just to
confirm that the actual receiver was not damaged.

6.
Reflecting on what I had just read on the web, I decided to update my iPhone
4 to 5.1.1 to see if I could re-create the problem.  As strange as it may
sound, I was hoping that I could for doing so would confirm that the issue
was software and not hardware related; this would allow me to cancel my
Genius Bar appointment.

7.
So, after updating my iPhone 4, I decided to fire up my old iPhone 3GS as
well and let it get in on the party.  By the way, my 3GS is still running
iOS 3.x.

8.
To my astonishment, I could not re-create the problem on either my 3GS or my
4 running 5.1.1.  This furthered my suspicion that my problem lay in the 4 S
hardware.

9.
Back to Google and an obscure article that suggested that people
experiencing this issue should do the following:

Now, let me just say that after doing the following, my iPhone 4 S is
running as smooth as Tupelo honey, Honey!

On the iPhone 4 S go to the Settings menu.
Next, select General.
Next, select Reset.
Finally, select Reset All Settings.  You will need to confirm your
selection.

To my extreme delight, I discovered that while doing this fixed my Wi-Fi
connection problem, it did not reset all of my settings such as SMTP
servers, passwords, etc.

Goodnight All and to all a good night.

Mark

RE: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

[M. Taylor]

Hello Debbi,  

I suspect that you are experiencing what many of us have; thus, I would
suggest that you perform the reset.  Please be aware that while doing this
will not erase your media, you will need to provide some network passwords.


Rest assured that if VoiceOver is running before you perform the reset, it
will automatically start after the reset.

Since posting last night, I have received about 20 off-list replies of
people reporting the same problem and how they resolved it using the reset
all option.  

Because of this, I have cleaned up the text in my original post and posted
it to Candle Shore.  

The following is a slightly revamped version of my original post:

Resolution To Loss Of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problem On iPhone 4 S After
Upgrading To iOS 5.1.x

Hello Everyone,  

After updating to iOS 5.1 or thereabouts, my iPhone 4 S began losing Wi-Fi
connectivity; in the last couple of days it had gotten to an almost
intolerable level; dropping the connection after less than 10 seconds after
each lock of the display screen.

I resolved the issue, the solution to which being so simple that it almost
hurts me to post it but I will do so in hopes of sparing others a long and
unnecessary troubleshooting experience.  

1.
Yes, I reset the router but doing so had no effect, as I suspected that it
would not, given that my Windows computers and my Mac connected just fine.  

2.
>From the iPhone's Settings menu I chose to reset the network connection.
This had no effect, either.

3.
Turning to iTunes, I decided to Restore my phone; immediately followed by
restoring a previously saved backup.  As it turned out, this was not
necessary, however.  In fact, if I had not placed a previously saved backup
image on the phone after restoring, I suspect the problem would have been
resolved then and there.  Of course, in such a scenario, I would have had to
rebuild my phone's data and media structure, something I dread even under
the best of circumstances.

At this point, let me state that I am amazed at how well iTunes placed the
backup system on my phone.  It took a while but, when completed, the phone
looked identical to its former self; so much so that the problem got
restored right along with the backup (smile). 

4.
When my problem persisted, I turned to the web and discovered that many,
many people were complaining of the same symptoms as I.  The general
consensus is that v5.1.1 has broken something in the 4 S.  

5.
I decided to schedule an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar in order to
confirm that the phone's Wi-Fi receiver was not damaged.  

6.
Reflecting on what I had just read on the web, I decided to update my iPhone
4 from iOS 4.3 to 5.1.1 to see if I could re-create the problem.  As strange
as it may sound, I was hoping that I could for doing so would confirm that
the issue was software and not hardware related; this would allow me to
cancel my Genius Bar appointment.

7.
In addition to updating my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS, I decided to fire up
my old iPhone 3GS as well and let it get in on the party.  By the way, my
3GS is still running iOS 3.x.

8.
To my astonishment, I could not re-create the problem on either my 3GS or my
4 running 5.1.1.  This furthered my suspicion that my problem lay in the 4 S

9.
Returning to Google, I located an article that suggested that people
experiencing this issue should do the following:  

Now, let me just say that after doing the following, my iPhone 4 S is
running as smooth as Tupelo honey, Honey!  Its Wi-Fi connectivity is
rock-solid.

On the iPhone, go to the Settings menu.
Next, select General.
Next, select Reset.
Finally, select Reset All Settings.  You will need to confirm your
selection.  

To my extreme delight, I discovered that while doing this fixed my Wi-Fi
connection problem, it did not reset all of my settings such as SMTP
servers, passwords, etc.  In fact, after performing the reset, I was back up
and running in a matter of minutes.

Good Luck To All And To All, Good Luck,

Mark

Hello James and thank you.

Ever since I perform the reset all, I have not lost WiFi connectivity.  

As stable as technology can appear, there is still so many things that must
fall into place in order to make things work as we expect.

To me, this falls in the category of tech growing-pains (smile).

Thanks Mark for posting this. It interestingly demonstrates that when people
have problems after an upgrade they immediately all start posting to the web
that the upgrade itself caused whatever the issue.
Sometimes the upgrade process is more to blame and for some reason the
upgrade process seems to often result in unwanted issues. A google search
can reveal a complete collection for example of how every single IOS release
has caused battery issues that didn't exist in the one before and they sware
are single handedly the fault of the new update. I think there may be
actually a similar collection although not as complete of wifi issues for
many IOS versions. It is most unfortunate when the problem actually is tied
to the IOS version, but thankfully it often is not necessarily.

You are absolutely correct, Fred.  I had the same issue when I installed
Zello; it disturbed me so much that I removed the app and do not plan on
re-installing it.

The last thing I need is something messing with my audio levels especially
when I'm out and about.

Afew minutes ago I attempted to make use of the app, Zello. Things went well
until I exited the app. Voice-over was severely diminished, even when I shut
down my Iphone 4 and turned it back on. I checked the sound level and was
told it was at 100%. I then attempted to load another sound-using app, Atbat

Subject: question about removing drm from purchased itunes store books



Hi list,
I have a question about removing drm from a book that I purchased in the 
itunes store.
My reason for wanting to do this, is because I would like to read it on my 
pc rather than with iBooks, and because of the drm, firefox can't open the 
ebook.
I have looked into this, and the closest I could come to a solution, is a 
program called requiem, which removes drm from files which you have 
purchased.
I have tried to use it, I had to downgrade my itunes first, which was 
fine.
However, I have no idea what the program is doing when it runs, as I think 
its written in java, so all I can read on the screen is requiem finished.
The program claims to scan your itunes library automatically, but I have 
no idea if it does this.
Unfortunately the only other way to point the program to files, is to drag 
and drop them on to the program window which of course isn't possible for 
us.
So, does anyone have experience of using this program? or have any 
thoughts about how else I can open my book on the pc.

Many thanks for your help,
Alex.

Re: Siri Problem

I've had that happen a few times, but nothing major.
All I have to do is restart my phone, and it's back up and running.

RE: Read to go

[Richard Turner]

If you are using a braille display, you can opt to read with braille when
using the VO voices.
Otherwise, it is simply personal preference.
 The disadvantage of using VO is that it will stop at the end of each
section.
That is not a problem unless the book has a ton of very short sections, then
you are having to hit the next section button and then restart VO reading.

Subject: RE: new with phone and tactile screen

Hi Fred.

The tactile markings on our screen protectors are for typing (the locations
where the letters are on the virtual keyboard are marked,) as well as
orientation.
So for example, I have the standard layout on my phone because I do a lot of
typing on my phone, and prefer to not have an external keyboard all the
time.
But when I'm not in text messaging, email, or any other app where the
virtual keyboard is visible, the dots on the screen can also help me quickly
find where a particular folder is on a certain page. So in my case for
instance, because of how I have my phone organized, I know that the
messaging app is located where the letter Q is on the virtual keyboard. If I
don't want to swipe around my screen, I can just go to it. Obviously that's
not something that would apply to everyone, because it's dependent on how
your screen is organized, but that's how I've used it.
In other apps, like Heytell for instance, I use the markings where the
letters are as a means of orienting so that I can quickly find the "select
contacts" button.
If you do use a tactile screen protector, (and perhaps other users can also
attest to this fact,) you really can do such orientation within other aps or
for locations of folders etc on the screen.
Also, standard iPhone controls in both our standard and advanced models are
marked, so for instance, if you're in mesaging, you can easily locate the
compose, send, add from address book, and cancel icons.
As someone who had a hell of a time dragging apps into folders, I also find
that the screen protector helps me for that. It helps me to go straight, and
also I can have a reference point on the screen where the folder I want is
located.

I hope this makes sense.

when i read  that you have to VO off to use the app raised a red flagg in my

the description of what it does sounded a like the description of zoom text, 
and zoom reader, which is accessible and i am one of a few who like zoom reader
 if you are looking for a magnifier, that can change the color of text that you 
are looking at and want a O

i havent checked it out myself
good luck hunting

Has anyone else managed to find out more re these third party products?

Re: My observations on the clarity of the HQ voices on the iPad and iPhone was RE: VoiceOver Compact Voice On/Off

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello Phil/. The best test would be a little more than what you suggest.

First off, it should be the same text as you say. Second it should be 
demonstrated on an iPhone, iPod Touch, and an iPad. Third, it should be 
at rate 40 or 50 for both voices, and then at rate 80 for both.


I could do the iPhone and iPod Touch part, but since I don't have an 
iPad, I couldn't do a full comparison.

It has been my experience that the high-quality voices on the iPhone and
iPod are similar to a lot of the SAPI voices on a Windows computer. You
need more CPU and more memory in order to take advantage of these voices
fully. In addition, because they are high-quality voices, they usually
do not sound as good at faster rates. This is just my opinion.

doesn't cut out or miss syllables or break up in any way as it did on
the other devices to greater or lesser degree, especially the IPod. It
must be dependent on the processor and/or the amount of ram. Not sure
how much ram the 4S has, but I think it is the same as my IPad 1, so
perhaps it is just the processor difference.

Re: Groundwire Questions

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello Joe. I'm honestly not sure how using Groundwire would affect the 
integrated Sprint/GV number. I would imagine that since it also has 
support for GV, it might interfere with the Voicemail features if any 
rerouting of the GV number is done so it moves from your phone to the 
Groundwire app. I wish I had a better answer, but I would only be 
guessing. It's true that I have a GV number, but I don't have Sprint, so 
it's not tied to my AT&T phone number the way it is with Sprint.


Regarding the usage of wi-fi, if they base it on the IP address you are 
at, and block it accordingly, then you would have to use a vpn. However 
if all they care about is using it on wifi, then it shouldn't matter and 
you can still make u.s. calls and your outgoing number would be the GV 
number which is still a u.S. number used to make calls to the U.S.


The quality is probably not as good as a real cell phone call, but with 
a good wifi connection, I would imagine that it should be acceptable.


I'm sorry I don't have concrete answers for you right now. I can give 
this app a try and see what I can figure out. I'm not planning on going 
overseas for a while, so all my testing would be from U.S. IP addresses.

For Raul and other veterans, I have some questions:

1. What would happen if I were to use the service with an integrated

Phone app, and what would that mean for Visual Voice Mail?

2. If I’m using the service overseas in a wi-fi network, could I
theoretically make free U.S. calls from that other country, or am I
going to have to set up a VPN network to use a U.S. IP address?

3. Does the G729 codec significantly improve call quality to make it
worth the additional purchase?

For general reference, I used CallCentric as my SIP provider and IPKall
for a free DID number. I may write up a blog post on the subject in case
anyone’s interested on how to make/receive calls without paying beyond
the cost of the app.

Thanks for any help.

more CPU and more memory in order to take advantage of these voices fully. 
In addition, because they are high-quality voices, they usually do not sound 
as good at faster rates. This is just my opinion.

I think it is the same as my IPad 1, so perhaps it is just the processor

GPS solutions - Was Re: Mark On iPhone On Trekker Breeze

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi Grant, your message was well-thought out. I have helped to develop 
the Sendero product on the Braille Sense, and I am very much aware of 
its capabilities. I can see where you are coming from. I haven't 
personally tested Sendero or iPhone GPS apps in areas like what you 
describe, so I don't have any experience to draw upon with that. One 
thing which comes to mind is if I want to walk around in a park or large 
non-street area, I don't see how an iPhone app can help me stay in the 
know of where I am because many of them depend on actual street 
locations. If I'm hiking or if I'm in a park, then the only one I can 
think of which would help is an app like My Way. This is where a program 
such as Sendero for the BrailleNote or Braille Sense would seem to come 
in handy and maybe resolve these issues. I'll be excited to see what 
Sendero can do on the iPhone when their app comes out. I've only used a 
Breeze for a few minutes as a demo, and what I gathered from it was not 
too bad either, but because I've had more experience with Sendero, I 
think I'm biased and like it better.


I really hope that Sendero or someone can come up with a GPS solution 
for the iOS devices which can meet everyone's needs. However it's also 
true that what is out there already for many people isn't too bad. For 
example, I can set a route in Navigon to go somewhere and then switch to 
Ariadne and just stay there, so this negates switching back and forth to 
get more information. This wouldn't work in my "walking in the park" 
example though. So again, it just shows that not all solutions are going 
to work for everyone. This is no different than someone who really needs 
accurate and little to no fuss when scanning documents. For many people, 
a dedicated scanning solution such as Kurzweil with a scanner on the pc 
will be best, while others will be fine with an iPhone and an app such 
as Prizmo.


Thanks, and take care.

Hello Raul and list, I've been reading through this thread on GPS
solutions and trying to sort everything out. I've actually been
contemplating purchasing the Sendero GPS product for the BrailleNote,
as I've played around with the demo and it's absolutely armed to the
teeth in terms of functionality. In fact I have a feeling that if cost
were not a factor, it would be entirely in a class of its own in terms
of GPS products for the blind. As I understand it, the Breeze doesn't
offer quite the same functionality as the Sendero product, but it's
rapidly catching up.

I'm really really disappointed with the corresponding products on the
iPhone, for the reason that they're a bit too "fiddly," with some
features totally absent. For example, the reality is that whether
you're walking around your city, your college campus, or a new place,
you're going to encounter parks, cul-de-sacs, residential areas, and
the like, which make all mainstream GPS apps pretty much a no-go. For
example, at my home and on the campus where I am currently studying,
there are lots and lots of these "non-street areas," and the only app
that's really ever given me confidence in it is Sendero. One of its
most valuable assets is the ability to set up routes (yes, both on
streets, in parks, in the country, and in combinations of those) with
specific turning points, landmark names, and instructions. Routes can
be basic turn-by-turn ones set up automatically, or specific, manual
routes with instructions such as "approaching forty-five degree turn
right" etc.. Sendero can even track where you have walked and set up a
route based upon your GPS data, all automatically. I mean, Ariadne GPS
can guide you to a specific point (provided there's an internet
connection) but in order to really follow a "route," you'd have to set
up and organize hundreds of favorites, which isn't really what it was
intended to do. Commercial apps like Tom Tom and Navigon offer turn by
turn directions in urban areas, but that wouldn't work for me in
either of the areas in which I frequently travel since parts of them
are not urban, and even the parts which are urban are not
straightforward enough where turn by turn street directions are
sufficient. Of course, to switch between several GPS apps on the
iPhone you have to stop walking frequently and fumble around with the
phone, which is a bit distracting and not totally what I want. You can
go to a specific favorite or you can have turn by turn directions;
that seems to be just about it. I don't know, it just doesn't seem to
quite "do it" for me after using the Sendero demo.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a rant, far from it; I love my iPhone
and all the wonderful things it can do. It'll be interesting to see
what Sendero's app is capable of doing when it's released. But for
now, plunking

Re: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

[Lois Butterfield]

I didn't see the problem until I read Mark's post.  It then noticed that I 
had no wifi.  I did the reset all and found that I had to redo several 
things.  It's worth it if I stay connected though.  I hope I didn't rack up 
a bunch of data usage before I noticed.

Subject: Resolution to My iPhone Will Not Stay Connected to Wifi

Hello Everyone,

First, let me thank all of you who replied to my inquiry.

Second,  Let me say that I resolved the issue which was so simple it hurts
me to post it but I will do so in hopes of sparing others a long and lengthy
troubleshooting experience.

As I posted in my previous message, my iPhone 4 S began losing Wi-Fi
connectivity.  Actually, I noticed it a while back but in the last couple of
days it had gotten to an almost intolerable level; dropping the connection
after less than 10 seconds or so.

1.
Yes, I reset the router but doing so had no effect as I suspected that it
would not given that my Windows computers and my Mac connected just fine.

2.

From the iPhone's Settings menu I chose to reset the network connection.

This had no effect, as well.

3.
Turning to iTunes, I decided to Restore my phone; immediately followed by
restoring a previously saved backup.  As it turned out, this was not
necessary however, if I had not placed a backup system on the phone, I
suspect the problem would have been resolved then and there.

At this point, let me state that I am amazed at how well iTunes placed the
backup system on my phone.  It took a while but, when completed,the phone
looked identical to its former self.

4.
When my problem persisted, I turned to the web and discovered that many,
many people were complaining of the same symptoms as I.  The general
consensus is that v5.1.1 has broken something in the 4 S.

5.
For whatever reason, I decided to take my phone to the Genius Bar just to
confirm that the actual receiver was not damaged.

6.
Reflecting on what I had just read on the web, I decided to update my iPhone
4 to 5.1.1 to see if I could re-create the problem.  As strange as it may
sound, I was hoping that I could for doing so would confirm that the issue
was software and not hardware related; this would allow me to cancel my
Genius Bar appointment.

7.
So, after updating my iPhone 4, I decided to fire up my old iPhone 3GS as
well and let it get in on the party.  By the way, my 3GS is still running
iOS 3.x.

8.
To my astonishment, I could not re-create the problem on either my 3GS or my
4 running 5.1.1.  This furthered my suspicion that my problem lay in the 4 S
hardware.

9.
Back to Google and an obscure article that suggested that people
experiencing this issue should do the following:

Now, let me just say that after doing the following, my iPhone 4 S is
running as smooth as Tupelo honey, Honey!

On the iPhone 4 S go to the Settings menu.
Next, select General.
Next, select Reset.
Finally, select Reset All Settings.  You will need to confirm your
selection.

To my extreme delight, I discovered that while doing this fixed my Wi-Fi
connection problem, it did not reset all of my settings such as SMTP
servers, passwords, etc.

Goodnight All and to all a good night.

Mark

RE: new with phone and tactile screen

[Amy Billman]

Hi Fred.

The tactile markings on our screen protectors are for typing (the locations
where the letters are on the virtual keyboard are marked,) as well as
orientation.
So for example, I have the standard layout on my phone because I do a lot of
typing on my phone, and prefer to not have an external keyboard all the
time.
But when I'm not in text messaging, email, or any other app where the
virtual keyboard is visible, the dots on the screen can also help me quickly
find where a particular folder is on a certain page. So in my case for
instance, because of how I have my phone organized, I know that the
messaging app is located where the letter Q is on the virtual keyboard. If I
don't want to swipe around my screen, I can just go to it. Obviously that's
not something that would apply to everyone, because it's dependent on how
your screen is organized, but that's how I've used it.
In other apps, like Heytell for instance, I use the markings where the
letters are as a means of orienting so that I can quickly find the "select
contacts" button.
If you do use a tactile screen protector, (and perhaps other users can also
attest to this fact,) you really can do such orientation within other aps or
for locations of folders etc on the screen.
Also, standard iPhone controls in both our standard and advanced models are
marked, so for instance, if you're in mesaging, you can easily locate the
compose, send, add from address book, and cancel icons.
As someone who had a hell of a time dragging apps into folders, I also find
that the screen protector helps me for that. It helps me to go straight, and
also I can have a reference point on the screen where the folder I want is
located.

I hope this makes sense.

It has been my experience that the high-quality voices on the iPhone and iPod

Re: no wifi connection

Hi,

What iPhone are you using? It could be that for some strange reason
its only broadcasting 11n which on a 3GS won't work.

Re: My observations on the clarity of the HQ voices on the iPad and iPhone was RE: VoiceOver Compact Voice On/Off

[Mary Otten]

After having tried the hq voice on my IPod 3rd gen and my IPad 1, I had given 
up on it. I just got an IPhone 4s and am quite pleased with how the HQ voice 
works on it. Response is snappy, not sluggish. It doesn't cut out or miss 
syllables or break up in any way as it did on the other devices to greater or 
lesser degree, especially the IPod. It must be dependent on the processor 
and/or the amount of ram. Not sure how much ram the 4S has, but I think it is 
the same as my IPad 1, so perhaps it is just the processor difference.

RE: new with phone and tactile screen

[Amy Billman]

Hi Judy
 
Many new iPhone users prefer our basic or standard model, because it makes
typing and overall orientation to the screen easier.
If you are still learning your iPhone, the tactile markings can also help
you with swiping straight.
In general, if people come to us as more experienced iPhone users, we
recommend the advanced layout, which has less dots. Also, if folks prefer to
type on an external bluetooth keyboard rather than the virtual one on the
phone, the less dots are helpful.
I've personally demonstrated our tactile screen protectors at conventions
and workshops, and have found that once they can see it on a phone, most
people who have assumed that the more dots would be bothersome, have
actually found them more helpful rather than hindering.
I think it's easy to make an assumption when you can't hold it in your hand.
 
We do tell people that the tactile screen protector is for use in portrait
orientation only, but we've also found that this is the prefered orientation
for most voiceover iPhone and iPod touch users.

My observations on the clarity of the HQ voices on the iPad and iPhone was RE: VoiceOver Compact Voice On/Off

[Debbie April Yuille]

Hi Pete

You are right. I only wish that those voices are as clear on the iPhone.
Maybe it is a memory or processing issue with the iPhone that effects the HQ
voices. 

All I know is that the iPhone doesn't handle them where as the iPad does.
When they are played on the iPhone they do not pronounce some words as well,
an example of that is the word "Phonetics." On the iPad both voices have the
same pronunciation yet on the iPhone, the compact voice will still pronounce
"Phonetics" the way it should be said but when I switch to the HQ voice it
will say "PhoneEtics." The other thing that is noticeable on the iPhone is
that the voice seems to cut words off really quickly and in general sounds
quite jumpy. I'm not worried about it these are just my observations. I'm
more than happy to use the compact voice on the iPhone and the HQ voice on
the iPad. I just thought I'd give my observations on this topic.

Debbie

Subject: new with phone and tactile screen
 
Hi,
 
This is my first post. I have Anna's book and am learning my phone very
slowly, but sticking with it even though there times I have thought of
throwing it across the room. (smile)
 
Has anyone used the tactile screen covers from atguys? if so, have you found
them to be helpful?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Judy

Under settings, general, accessability, voice over you will find it
immediately following pitch change. So, when you here use pitch change the
next swipe should put you on use compaq voice off double tap to turn it on.

re: a warning for anyone going to downgrade a5 devices

[alex wallis]

Hi Ben,
unfortunately your idea won't work, itunes at least for me seems to have 
stored several backups, though I am not exactly sure why.
Anyway, the upshot is that when running 5.0.1, itunes won't give the 
option to restore later backups, even though they are still present.
I know this, because I had to restore to 5.1.1, when my first attempt to 
jailbreak went wrong using redsn0w rather than absinth.
when I went back to 5.1.1, it could see my latest backup no problem, and 
gave me the option to restore.

but sure enough when I went back down to 5.0.1, it couldn't see it again.
so I think the only thing you can do is either try experimenting with I 
cloud, or restore later backups from itunes on the latest firmware after 
upgrading.

RE: Using the FaceTime app

[JANE SHEEHAN]

I totally agree with Veronica on this!  I love FaceTime!  Last week, when I
got a Kindle, I had my brother do FaceTime with me to read my Kindle's Mac
address, and some of the settings that didn't speak.  He says the visual
quality is much better than Skype.  Definitely a helpful tool for blind
people!

Oh I absolutely love face time.
First reason: If you want to be on speaker phone when you're talking to
someone, using face time eliminates the typical cutting in and out of
speaker phones. The sound quality is great.
Second, As mentioned, great for getting remote sighted assistance. 
I've gotten someone to read the controls on an unfamiliar radio, help
finding a dog toy, given tours of my house to people who likely won't ever
visit, and given my husband the thrill of seeing me as we talked while I was
out of town.
Way more fun than Skype.

Eric,

You are using Compact Voice when it says Compact Voice On,and you are not
using it when it is off.

The higher quality or premium voice is in use when the setting is off,

i.e.

not compact.

So not compacting your voice, equals better higher quality voice.

note, that when you turn compact voice off, you may not notice a

difference

for a good few hours whilst the none compact voice is downloaded.

it is better to have it off.

Leaving the list.

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Dear All.

After a lot of thinking, I am leaving the list due to various issues on this 
list which I will not go in to.  Just to say I am vary disappointed with 
aspects of the list as I thought after having a break for more than a year I 
thought this list would have matured now but aspects of this has not and thus I 
regretfully take this decision to not subscribe to this list.

I thank those who have helped me so far and appreciate all those who have 
supported me.  However,  I hope that if I have a digit-eyes question I can 
address it elsewhere.  If there is a list for that or I can ask these questions 
using the Macvisionary list, please let me know.  I can be reached at my e-mail 
address above.

Kind regards,

Kawal.

Hi listers,

Once you have a bunch of songs converted, all songs of course show up twice
in the itunes library. One AAC, and one mp3 version. What is the quickest
way to get rid of all AAC files, or all mp3 files, in one go? Now, I need to
find each song, hit command i for info, check if it's the right file I want
to delete, i.e. mp3 or AAC, close the info window and then delete that one
song from my itunes library. Imagine I convert an album with over 30 tracks,
that's a lot of steps to delete all old files that are no longer needed
after conversion. Any idea on how to do this more efficiently?

you will need to be careful if the iTunes song or media is drm protected. If
it is, then you can't convert it and if there is a way, it's not allowed as

Re: Mark On iPhone On Trekker Breeze

[Dan]

Hello,
Well, here's hoping for an affordable GPS solution from Sendero group. By that, 
I mean something that won't break the bank, or at least, my bank.
I already purchased the Aftershokz Bone Conduction headphones, to be ready for 
this application when and if it ever hits the Apple store and that it is within 
my price range, of say, $50 or so.
Just my views on the subject.
