Oh, that is such a great idea. :-)
I was quietly wondering the same thing as Marianne was.
Now I'm going to get me some cooking apps.

Hi,

Simply put it in a zip lock bag and it will stay clean and away from

Really, with all the accessible and free recipe apps on the iPhone,
you can have a wealth of cookbooks/recipes at your fingertips, and
you'll have more than you can cook from. *smile* Don't look at recipes

I will say though that the Big Oven App (for me anyway,) tended to be
very laggy on the 3GS; just something worth noting, if any of you 3gS
users are interested in that one in particular. It is however, not
laggy on the 4 or 4S.

Hello Folks,

I have the Epicurious app on my phone. What I like about it is when
it is first opened, the first page will give you different selections
on the

type

of meals if you are interested in one of the categories. There are
also

four

different buttons at the bottom to go to the home menu, search,
favorites, shopping list, and about. At the upper right hand corner
after making a category selection, there is a toggle list button.
This needs to be

tapped

on to open the list of recipes. Once you have selected a recipe by
tapping on it, there is an Add button that will give you options to
add it to

your

favorite list, email the recipes, tweet it, send to Facebook, or add
to

the

shopping list. There are different ways to search when you tap on the

search

button. There are different types of food items such as avocado,
bacon,

etc.

to link on for recipes. There is a text field to type in a type of
recipe you are looking for or a food item to search the app. Besides
different

food

items to search for, there are categories for dietary considerations,
dish type, main/course, seasonal, and etc. For 1.99,  you can get the
recipe

box

and sync the recipes there. I have not considered spending the money

because

I place it in my favorites or email myself the recipes. This is a
good little app. I believe it is free minus the recipe box sync for
$1.99. The developer and the full app name is below. Enjoy.

RE: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Well said, Allison. It seems that with every release of a new iPhone a
certain group of people (and I don't necessarily mean just people on this
list) complain and say it's disappointing etc. When the 4S came out it was
the same, a lot of people were disappointed it wasn't called the iPhone 5 as
if the name matters and so on. I actually think it would have been smart of
Apple to just call it the new iPhone, after all, a MacBook Pro or an iMac
doesn't have a model number. Compared to a 4S the iPhone 5 is maybe not
quite as big an update as the 4S was from the 4, but of course for the many
people who are on a 4 or even 3GS it's huge and who says it has to be this
incredible new innovation every year, it's not as if anybody's life and
happiness depends on the fact that they buy a new iPhone every year; at
least it shouldn't depend on that, if it does maybe you need to spend money
on a shrink instead of a new iPhone. I heard a lot of disappointment that
there is no NFC, but I think Apple may feel NFC it's just not the thing and
they certainly don't adopt something if they don't believe in it or if they
think the time isn't right.

Sieghard

RE: Fleksy I think has a problem.

2012-09-14 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hello Reggie,

You made a good point regarding putting 2 empty lines before you even start
typing in Fleksy. I just tried this and verified that it will indeed cause
the subject field to be empty. Turning off the Include subject in body
will avoid having the subject line repeat in the message body. As far as the
subject line goes, however, I find it very convenient that whatever I first
type and separate from my main text with two new line commands will be my
subject. Why leave the subject blank only to have to type it with the what I
call the slow keyboard once I am in the mail app.

Hi Reggie,

Fleksy is designed to do this if you use the email function. The way it
works is that whatever you write as your first line of text is automatically
used as the subject line. The trick is to insert a new paragraph (2 new
lines) between what you want your subject to be and your main email text. I
think it's 2 new lines, maybe 1 will do, but I know for sure it works with
2. There is also a setting in Settings Fleksy where you can indicate as
to whether you want to repeat that subject line as your first line of text
in the message body. I personally turn this off because I don't see a reason
why I'd want to repeat the subject as the first line of my message.

Now when sending email from Fleksy, it takes part of the first line, puts it
in the subject and does not repeat it as the first line of the email but
just continues the first line of the email with the next word where the
subject cut it off. Anyone notice this?

 Let's hope other platforms keep up the innovation so as to put Apple

Moderator's note about upcoming higher list traffic

2012-09-14 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hello all. In the next week or so the list traffic is going to jump 
considerably. Right now it's a bit higher with the exciting news of the 
iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5 announcements. However in the next week or so 
when iOS 6 is released, and a few weeks later when some of you start 
receiving your new iPhones, the list traffic will probably take a leap 
up even more.


So, with that in mind, I'd like to remind everyone of the following to 
try and minimize the unwanted or unneeded messages on list. Note that 
I'm not saying that you shouldn't post questions or participate in 
discussions. I'm merely saying that we should all take steps to minimize 
messages which serve no real purpose. The below are suggested guidelines 
to keep in mind.


1. We are all in the ballroom at VIPhone Manor. Think of the mailing 
list as a huge room where all the list members are hanging out and 
sharing ideas, experiences, asking questions, ETC about our favorite iOS 
devices. There is a wireless microphone being passed around and every 
time someone posts to the list, they hold the microphone for that 
glorious moment and everyone in the room gets to hear what they have to 
say. However if that same someone responds privately to another list 
member instead of posting to the list, the conversation is kept quiet 
and no one in the ballroom is aware of it. Please try and consider when 
you want to post to the list, does everyone need to hear what I have to 
say, or does only the person I'm having a conversation need to hear it. 
Lively and positive list discussion is encouraged as long as it remains 
on topic. Personal conversations or things which are obviously meant for 
one person are not.


Some good examples of holding the microphone for everyone to hear are: 
Posting about a new app or an update to an app. Discussing good and bad 
points about an app or a specific iOS device. Sharing experiences about 
an app or a situation where the iOS device made a difference in 
something you did. Asking questions about the accessibility of an app. 
Comparing apps or iOS devices.


Some not-so-good examples of holding the microphone for everyone to hear 
are: Posting one-liner messages such as me too, thank you,  or your 
welcome and not adding to the discussion at hand. Asking a specific 
person for their email address when it's right there in the message you 
are responding to. Treating someone with no respect, or talking down to 
someone who might not have an answer to a question. Trying to moderate 
the list yourself.



2. Tolerance and patience. This list is comprised of over 1000 people 
with a varying range of education, background, ethics, and age. Because 
of this we ask that you all show tolerance toward each other's style of 
writing and expression. If you feel that a list member has posted a 
message which is offensive, unreadable, grammatically or syntactically 
incorrect please do not complain about it on list. You can either ignore 
the message, or take it up with me or Cara privately. Flaming the list 
member on list would not be cool at all. There are times when emotions 
can get hot, and if this happens, it's ok to step back and let things 
cool down. If action is required by the moderators, let us handle it.



3. Use appropriate language. Foul language is not acceptable on list. We 
realize that some words are not considered foul language in certain 
parts of the world or in the context used. However when posting to the 
list decide on whether your message would be appropriate in a children's 
book or if it would be tolerated in grade school.



4. Fellowship. The VIPhone list doesn't only exist to serve as a 
database of questions and answers. That is what knowledge bases, FAQs, 
and Google searches are for. In addition to exchanging knowledge, This 
list is a place for us to fellowship in some small way. Although 
personal chat-like posts will always creep up on list, they are not 
condoned. It is in our nature to want to discuss things with each other. 
They might start off as iOS related but then might stray to other areas. 
If this happens, please move the discussion off the list so it can 
remain on topic. It is very easy for a discussion about a weather app to 
morph into a discussion about the weather in your city and how your pets 
feel about the recent climate changes.



5. Appropriate postings. It goes without saying, but please take care to 
post messages which are iOS related. Asking questions about the best 
Android app for your checkbook, or finding the best places to vacation 
next summer are not considered on topic. If you post links to web sites 
or podcasts or downloads, make sure they are public links or that you 
have permission to post them. Postings containing salacious or 
defamatory material, piracy, cracking/hacking of any software, and

anything illegal are unacceptable and inappropriate.


6. Moderating members. I hate writing this one, but it has to be said. 
We realize that most

RE: transfering apps to another device

2012-09-14 Thread Thom
As long as the apple ID account is the same..
I think the easiest way is to go to the app store on your iPhone and
download them there. They shouldn't cost you anything, since you already
purchased them. 

Now the fastest way is to sync your iPod with iTunes, Then choose which apps
you want to go to your iPhone, and sync it after doing so.

Dear all.

Is it possible to transfer the apps on my iPod touch to my iPhone? I don't 
want to use the app store for the apps I already have. I don't even have the

apps on my computer, I could use itunes to achieve that. Please let me know 
what are my options.

Hi Shirley, further to my last message, I just downloaded

a US App Store

RE: activating voiceover on iPhone 4

2012-09-14 Thread Richard Turner
When you have it plugged into iTunes, go to your phone in the sources tree
view and, here is where my memory is not clear, either on the summary tab or
the info tab, go to the button that says Configure Universal Access and hit
the space bar.  You will have VoiceOver in that list, just select it and go
to the OK button and all should be well.

What with Siri, the faster processor, three microphones LTE and maps

i-phone case with slide-out keyboard.

2012-09-14 Thread Fred Olver
iPhone Keyboard Case
For iPhone 4 and 4S Models 

List Price: $59.99 
DEAL PRICE: $29.00 (51% Off) 
Product Details



Problem clicking the button above?
Try Click Here

I have an iPhone 4S and decided to throw one of these new Keyboard Cases on it 
over the weekend to test it out. I LOVED it and everyone was asking me about it!

It's an iPhone case that has a slide-out mini keyboard... it allows you to 
actually type and FEEL the keys you are typing. It is perfect for those of you 
who don't like the touch screen and would prefer a more tactile typing option. 
I'm constantly pressing the wrong key on my touch screen - it gets so 
frustrating!

There are a couple of things to note. This is ONLY for the iPhone 4 and 4S 
models. Connects using Bluetooth technology, so there are no cords and it 
charges through its own USB charger. 

What takes some getting use to (then you'll love it) is how it reconfigures the 
typing on your iPhone all together. The touch screen keys won't even pop up 
during texting, so it enables you to see more of the previous conversation.

Also, the auto correct shuts off, which has its ups and downs. What I like is 
that the keyboard works literally like a computer keyboard. For example, you 
have to hold down shift to uppercase a letter.

As I already mentioned, I got compliments and questions from friends - it is a 
really sharp looking accessory, and you can choose either black or white. Match 
your phone or mix it up!

Features:
- iPhone Case for iPhone 4 and 4S
- Slide-Out/Fully Functional Keyboard
- Function fn Key allows quick secondary functions
- Bluetooth Connection
- Choose from Black or White 
This case adds style, functionality and protection to your iPhone thanks  Be

Did you all consider that some people might have NFC what NFC is? LOL, 
just kidding. Every time I hear NFC, I don't think payment system. I 
think, No F.g Clue.


Anyway, seriously though, I'm not going to belittle anyone who upgrades 
from the 4S to the 5 because after all, it's still moving up the chain 
of new devices. However for me personally, I can wait because with what 
I can get out of the 4S, I can't justify a new phone just yet. Now, if I 
was coming from the 3GS or the 4, then I would definitely be getting the 5.

Well said, Allison. It seems that with every release of a new iPhone a

it was the same, a lot of people were disappointed it wasn’t called the
iPhone 5 as if the name matters and so on. I actually think it would
have been smart of Apple to just call it “the new iPhone”, after all, a
MacBook Pro or an iMac doesn’t have a model number. Compared to a 4S the
iPhone 5 is maybe not quite as big an update as the 4S was from the 4,
but of course for the many people who are on a 4 or even 3GS it’s huge
and who says it has to be this incredible new innovation every year,
it’s not as if anybody’s life and happiness depends on the fact that
they buy a new iPhone every year; at least it shouldn’t depend on that,
if it does maybe you need to spend money on a shrink instead of a new
iPhone. I heard a lot of disappointment that there is no NFC, but I
think Apple may feel NFC it’s just not the thing and they certainly
don’t adopt something if they don’t believe in it or if they think the
time isn’t right.

 improvements, but in what way is the next question. Certainly for graphics 
 intensive apps there is no doubt that the extra horsepower will be 
 beneficial. I think for me I would want to know if there is an overall 
 performance improvement for VoiceOver which quite honestly is pretty snappy 
 on the 4S. The other question is ram which will make a difference because the 
 more apps you have open the more room there will be with less swapping in 
 theory. Much like the computer world, the iOS and other mobile devices are 
 following the same path. THings get faster with time and yes I think we are 
 at a point where smart phones truly are little computers in your pocket. 
 People are going to demand more and more from these devices and maybe there 
 will be a day when movie device all but replace desktop and notebook machines.
 The true challenge will be balancing speed and efficiency. The real goal now 
 is to develop battery technology that really expands the runtime for movie 
 devices.

 The processor not being quad core, and instead being duel core, do you

 I do not ask flippantly, simply as an honest question… Just because other 
 handset manufacturers are putting quad core into some devices, doesn't mean 
 its necessary.

 Those handsets may need them as their OS is bloaty, or because apps are 
 written poorly for the platform etc, then again, perhaps not.

 iOS maybe written in a way that means that it just does not need it.

 A case in point, only very recently have we seen the first duel core Windows 
 PHone 7 device, this when for years other handsets have had duel and even 
 quad core processors.

 Yet, in bench mark testing of single core Windows Phone 7 devices against 
 even quad core Android devices, the Windows Phone 7 devices have out 
 performed in a range of common tasks.

 My point, as with many things in the computing world, simple measurements 
 like processor cores, RAM, speed of cores etc, are not in their own right a 
 quantitative measurement or standard worthy of comparison, only when the 
 whole picture is taken into account can one truly say that x product is 
 better or not.

if the iPHone is up to date, the computer won't try to update it. If you have a 
recent iTunes or iCloud backup, go to SEttings/General/Reset and choose the 
option to erase all data from your phone. Then start going through the iPHone 
setup. You'll be asked wehther you want to restore from iTunes or iCloud; make 
your choice, and your backup will be restored to your phone.

RE: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Scott,

From all I read and heard the A6 is not a Quad Core and may not even have a
Quad Core GPU (graphics processing unit) as is the case with the A5X which
is in the new iPad. Here is a link to an article, it's a bit technical, but
it makes it clear that we don't know exactly yet what the specs are until
one of those places that takes things apart really takes a closer look.
Apple certainly did not say at their event, they did not even say or
emphasize that the iPhone 5 has 1 Gig of RAM, I think most people expect it
does, but Apple to my knowledge has not confirmed this. The article makes it
clear that the number of Cores, and Neil pointed this out already, is
definitely not the only benchmark for getting better overall performance and
also that battery life is a big factor when it comes to decisions on which
CPU is chosen. The size and architecture of the CPU apparently are even more
important than how many Cores it has and apparently the iPhoen 4S, for
example, runs only at about 800 Mhz clock speed with its A5 CPU and yet it's
considered to be one of the faster phones out there, it's very snappy and
responsive. Just as an example, I once tested an LG phone 3 years ago which
had a 1 Ghz Snapdragon CPU with Windows Mobile 6.5 and MobileSpeak, it was a
touch screen phone with slide-out keyboard and it was unbelieveably
sluggish. OK, Here is that link:

Re: iPhone 5

2012-09-14 Thread Les Kriegler
Hi Kimberly,

After reading your message, I contacted Verizon to verify what you heard.  You 
are correct; the unlimited data plan will go unless one pays full retail for 
the iPhone 5.  However, before making any decisions, I would recommend you 
check your data usage on all of the phones on your plan.  You can get that 
information in a text message by typing pound data and send from your phone.  
You may be surprised at what yo learn.  For instance, my wife and I use less 
than a gigabyte per month by quite a bit.  A 2 gigabyte plan for data usage 
would cost us $10 less than we are paying now.  If we opt for a 4 gigabyte 
plan, we'd be paying the same as we are now.  So in summary, I encourage you to 
check your data usage before running off to another carrier.

 Hi all,
 So, what do you all think of iPhone 5?
 How many of you are going to upgrade?
 For me personally, since I am upgrading from an iPhone 4, I think it is
 worth the upgrade.
 What with Siri, the faster processor, three microphones LTE and maps
 features-thigns you won't get on the 4 with IOS 6.
 What are peoples thoughts?

Re: a note about upgrading to iOS 6

2012-09-14 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi, not it is not. Once you upgrade, that's it. This is because Apple 
stops signing the prior iOS versions once a new one is out. If you are 
jailbroken, and if you know what you are doing it might be possible, for 
for the average person, the answer is no downgrading.

Re: iPhone 5

2012-09-14 Thread Scott Howell
I have to admit that looking at Sprints offerings I am rather impressed. FOr my 
wife and I it would cost me only a couple more dollars to get twice the level 
of service. No make that three times the service. I could get unlimited data, 
text, and 1,500 minutes of babble time (evenings start at 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 
a.m.) both iPhones for $120. That is before a 15% discount via my employer. 
Either way I'd come out ahead. Only thing is I'd have to figure out their 
coverage area. And with ATT and the games they seem to want to play on iPhone 
subscribers, it is making the decision a lot easier when my contract expires 
with ATT.

Re: iPhone 5

What would make the switch to VZW more palatable once LTE has rolled out. 
ALthough (not that it is a big deal) the idea of having voice and data access 
at the same time is handy. Maybe this will change before to long and that will 
just be one more thing that further levels the playing field.

Subject: Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

Just to add some more info about the new connector (I thought it was
eight pin, not nine... although the point is the same really.)
Apparently they made it smaller because they couldn't continue making
products thinner with a 30 pin connection slot taking up valuable
hardware space. Supposedly it'll be apple's standard connection for
many years to come according to them. By that logic, I can't fault
them for making the change -- they would've had to do it sooner or
later.

What irritates me more is that the adaptors are $35 each -- at least
in Canada. Personally, I think they're ridiculously over-priced and
Apple isn't allowing any 3rd party vendors to create adaptors of their
own for the time being, if ever.

On one hand, it's smart because it creates an added revenue stream for
Apple but on the other hand, I find it kind of sleazy. No one was
really asking for the change or a thinner device so why do we have to
pay to retro-fit things? As far as I know, no adaptor comes included
with the phone, which would've been nice. Perhaps it could've been
absorbed into the cost of the phone but oh well -- looks like that's
not going to happen.

 Hello List,



 I don't think I came across many posts who mention a few additional iPhone
 5
 changes/improvements. First, the iPhone 5 has a new 9 PIN connector. This
 means if you have a music dock or even the Apple iPhone dock and iPhone
 cables you will not be able to use any of them with a new iPhone 5. Cables
 you can use if you buy an adapter, but I don't think this would work well
 for sticking your iPhone onto a dock. I think especially for some who have
 purchased expensive players like a Bose Soundlink or similar this
 improvement is not so cool. I would consider it an improvement though
 simply because I get the feeling the much smaller connector will be more
 stirdy and one very nice feature is the fact that it's reverseable which
 means it doesn' matter which way around you stick it in, it fits either
 way.



 Second, the iPhone 5 now has its headphone jack at the bottom where the
 dock
 connector is. Apple did not mention this specifically, but apparently Rob
 from the Today in iOS Podcast did confirm this.



 Third, a new iOS 6 camera feature (at least for the iPhone 5 and 4S)
allows
 you to take a photo while you are recording video. Maybe not so much a
 feature many of us would use, but I think it's a nice feature as there
 might
 be a scene you want to capture as a photo while you are recording a video,
 now you can without stopping your video recording.



 Lastly, I found it interesting that Apple did not mention the Podcast app
 and none of the comments I read where people were naming apps visible on
 the
 home screen during the event mentioned it either. I also just looked on
the
 apple.com website under iPhone and Built In Apps and Podcasts was not
 mentioned unless I missed it. I have the feeling that this may not even be
 part of the initial iOS 6 release since Apple's Podcast app has shall we
 say
 received less than favourable reviews and ratings. Maybe they will work on
 it some more and get it right before they force it down everybody's
throat.





 Best regards,

 Sieghard

Re: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread Scott Howell
Sieghard,

THanks for sharing the article and it was pretty interesting. I do not know 
either about the ram beyond what has ben said, but even the normally reliable 
sources are not Apple, so correct that we do not know until the horse speaks. I 
really believe it matters little about how many cores at the end of the day. 
Because if the software is not leveraging those extra cores it will be of 
little benefit  in the end. What does matter as the article points out is the 
size of the chip and so forth. I'd rather have longer battery life than speed. 
I believe there is a balance where you can achieve good battery life and still 
retain good performance. Obviously the other factor is how well the OS has been 
optimized to leverage the architecture of the hardware. I really have no 
complaints about the performance of my 4S and find few occasions where it bogs 
down. What I'm more interested in is the overall battery life and if there is a 
marketable increase or about the same and the level of overall performance. 
However, what is more interesting to me is the increased audio quality from the 
internal speaker, not that I have any complaints about the 4S. Now that 
aluminum case sounds nice and how the whole package is assembled is something I 
do want to check out. I get the impression that how the phone itself is 
manufactured is pretty impressive including how the screen is constructed.

 Hi Scott,
 
 From all I read and heard the A6 is not a Quad Core and may not even have a
 Quad Core GPU (graphics processing unit) as is the case with the A5X which
 is in the new iPad. Here is a link to an article, it's a bit technical, but
 it makes it clear that we don't know exactly yet what the specs are until
 one of those places that takes things apart really takes a closer look.
 Apple certainly did not say at their event, they did not even say or
 emphasize that the iPhone 5 has 1 Gig of RAM, I think most people expect it
 does, but Apple to my knowledge has not confirmed this. The article makes it
 clear that the number of Cores, and Neil pointed this out already, is
 definitely not the only benchmark for getting better overall performance and
 also that battery life is a big factor when it comes to decisions on which
 CPU is chosen. The size and architecture of the CPU apparently are even more
 important than how many Cores it has and apparently the iPhoen 4S, for
 example, runs only at about 800 Mhz clock speed with its A5 CPU and yet it's
 considered to be one of the faster phones out there, it's very snappy and
 responsive. Just as an example, I once tested an LG phone 3 years ago which
 had a 1 Ghz Snapdragon CPU with Windows Mobile 6.5 and MobileSpeak, it was a
 touch screen phone with slide-out keyboard and it was unbelieveably
 sluggish. OK, Here is that link:

 Just to add some more info about the new connector (I thought it was
 eight pin, not nine... although the point is the same really.)
 Apparently they made it smaller because they couldn't continue making
 products thinner with a 30 pin connection slot taking up valuable
 hardware space. Supposedly it'll be apple's standard connection for
 many years to come according to them. By that logic, I can't fault
 them for making the change -- they would've had to do it sooner or
 later.
 
 What irritates me more is that the adaptors are $35 each -- at least
 in Canada. Personally, I think they're ridiculously over-priced and
 Apple isn't allowing any 3rd party vendors to create adaptors of their
 own for the time being, if ever.
 
 On one hand, it's smart because it creates an added revenue stream for
 Apple but on the other hand, I find it kind of sleazy. No one was
 really asking for the change or a thinner device so why do we have to
 pay to retro-fit things? As far as I know, no adaptor comes included
 with the phone, which would've been nice. Perhaps it could've been
 absorbed into the cost of the phone but oh well -- looks like that's
 not going to happen.

Hello Joe,

I totally and completely agree with you.

While I will purchase the iPhone 5, there is definitely no wow factor and
I'm certainly not recommending it to iPhone 4 S users.


The fact that Apple thinks it's cool to be able to manipulate iTunes
playlists in a slightly new way says more about their lack of innovation
than anything.

I think the big thing this year is iOS 6 about which I am extremely excited.

Apple has confirmed that even on LTE, Verizon and Sprint customers won't be
able to access cellular data while they are on a call. If you're connected
to WiFi, you can use that, but not cellular. This restriction also exists
with ATT, except that in this case it will fall back to HSPA+, so you'll
still have cellular data access, just no LTE.

On the issue of NFC, it is not widely used enough to justify including it

RE: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread Rick Alfaro
Honestly, I don't agree.  I have a 4s and the only reason I'm not upgrading
is because I still have another year to go before I'm eligible.  I guess
it's subjective, but faster processor, better optics, dual band WiFi, and
thinner and lighter, are all great reasons in my mind to upgrade if one is
eligible.  JMO.

 

Best,

 

Rick

Hi,

 

I'm sorry to go back to the A6 thing, but I never got a chance to respond to
it. The CPU itself is dual core, with the GPU being the quad core part. It's
just like the A5X found in the new iPad, but with a faster clock speed.

On the issue of NFC, it is not widely used enough to justify including it
and I understand there are still some issues with the technology. I believe
APple is banking on the fact there is a wider use of barcodes which would be
a very smart move. You can do quite a lot with just barcodes and not include
a NFC chip.

Mark,

What do you mean by The fact that Apple thinks it's cool to be able to 
manipulate iTunes
playlists in a slightly new way says more about their lack of innovation
How is manipulating playlists a lack of innovation? Since iTunes is really a 
small part of the whole picture I'm not sure how it makes any real difference.
Clearly there is only so much room to innovate currently in the hardware but 
certainly the innovation will be in the software.
True innovation in hardware will come when someone manages to get 24 hours 
runtime (surfing, streaming, and such) on their phone. Now that is going to be 
innovative. :)

Trying to share a vidio on facebook using te new youtube app

2012-09-14 Thread Jen Colley
Hi,  
I am trying to share a link to facebook using the new youtube app.  
I go into the app, pick the vidio I want to share, press the more button which 
brings up the share to with all the choices.  
I double tap facebook and then I get a message saying that youtube moble is 
misconfigured for facebook and press ok to go back to the app without 
connecting to facebook.  
Otherwise it says it needs basic information and shows me as being logged in as 
my facebook account but when I press that it just brings up my news feed on 
facebook.  
So question is, how do I share links to youtube using the new youtube app and 
the facebook app.

Video Magnifiers

2012-09-14 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello Listers,

In preparation for a presentation that my team is doing in October I have been 
researching some video magnifier apps to demo.  Is there anyone on the list 
that has used any of the apps in this genre, and if so, which ones, and how do 
they work for you?  Keep in mind that I am blind and I will be presenting for a 
group of TVI's in Georgia, so even though I can't see what the app can magnify, 
it is important that our audience be able to see it.  We will be plugging into 
a large screen projector for the presentation.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Scott Rumery

Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

USB can carry video. I'm not sure why Apple chooses not to use the micro
USB connector, but I do know that Apple chooses not to participate in
various cell phone consortiums, so they were not present when the cell
phone manufacturers adopted micro USB as the standard for the battery
charging connection.

 Just to add some more info about the new connector (I thought it was
 eight pin, not nine... although the point is the same really.)
 Apparently they made it smaller because they couldn't continue making
 products thinner with a 30 pin connection slot taking up valuable
 hardware space. Supposedly it'll be apple's standard connection for
 many years to come according to them. By that logic, I can't fault
 them for making the change -- they would've had to do it sooner or
 later.

 What irritates me more is that the adaptors are $35 each -- at least
 in Canada. Personally, I think they're ridiculously over-priced and
 Apple isn't allowing any 3rd party vendors to create adaptors of their
 own for the time being, if ever.

 On one hand, it's smart because it creates an added revenue stream for
 Apple but on the other hand, I find it kind of sleazy. No one was
 really asking for the change or a thinner device so why do we have to
 pay to retro-fit things? As far as I know, no adaptor comes included
 with the phone, which would've been nice. Perhaps it could've been
 absorbed into the cost of the phone but oh well -- looks like that's
 not going to happen.

 Hello List,



 I don't think I came across many posts who mention a few additional iPhone
 5
 changes/improvements. First, the iPhone 5 has a new 9 PIN connector. This
 means if you have a music dock or even the Apple iPhone dock and iPhone
 cables you will not be able to use any of them with a new iPhone 5. Cables
 you can use if you buy an adapter, but I don't think this would work well
 for sticking your iPhone onto a dock. I think especially for some who have
 purchased expensive players like a Bose Soundlink or similar this
 improvement is not so cool. I would consider it an improvement though
 simply because I get the feeling the much smaller connector will be more
 stirdy and one very nice feature is the fact that it's reverseable which
 means it doesn' matter which way around you stick it in, it fits either
 way.



 Second, the iPhone 5 now has its headphone jack at the bottom where the
 dock
 connector is. Apple did not mention this specifically, but apparently Rob
 from the Today in iOS Podcast did confirm this.



 Third, a new iOS 6 camera feature (at least for the iPhone 5 and 4S)
 allows
 you to take a photo while you are recording video. Maybe not so much a
 feature many of us would use, but I think it's a nice feature as there
 might
 be a scene you want to capture as a photo while you are recording a video,
 now you can without stopping your video recording.



 Lastly, I found it interesting that Apple did not mention the Podcast app
 and none of the comments I read where people were naming apps visible on
 the
 home screen during the event mentioned it either. I also just looked on
 the
 apple.com website under iPhone and Built In Apps and Podcasts was not
 mentioned unless I missed it. I have the feeling that this may not even be
 part of the initial iOS 6 release since Apple's Podcast app has shall we
 say
 received less than favourable reviews and ratings. Maybe they will work on
 it some more and get it right before they force it down everybody's
 throat.





 Best regards,

 Sieghard

Storm8 games audio demo now available

2012-09-14 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi, I've recorded a demo of me playing a couple of Storm8 games. In this 
demo I demonstrate what the various screens look like, and then I create 
a new character and show how that's done. The demo is around 80 minutes 
long and doesn't have catchy sound effects or booming background noises 
unless you want to count my dog groaning in the background as one.


If you don't know what Storm8 games are, they are role playing games 
which you play from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android phone. There are 
various games out such as World War, iMobsters, Vampires Live, Zombies 
Live, Kingdoms Live and more. In the demo I play Vampires and Zombies. 
The games are super voice over friendly and fun to play.


Oh, and BTW, my Storm8 username if you want to add me is Asmo47 for the 
iPhone games I play. The Vampires clan code if you want to add my iPod 
one is 4RP4CF.




The link is: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7652029/Storm8Demo.mp3

Thanks, and happy gaming.

 make you come back and buy the next one done properly?

Hi all,

the right ear has died on my iPhone headphones. I am trying to
find a new pair of ear bud style headphones that have the inline
control to control the iPod player. I have found in ear and over
the head ones, but am not after these types.

Does anyone know of any ear bud style ones that have the inline

think their sound is pretty poor.

TIA,

Re: Video Magnifiers

Hi Scott,

I've played with several such apps including ZoomReader and Vision
Assist and frankly I'm not impressed. There's a significant amount of
lag and blurriness. While I'll use them as a last resort for spot
reading I would not recommend them as a replacement for a stand alone
video magnifier. I hope they improve someday but I don't feel they're
quite ready for prime time just yet.

Re: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi there,

I think what a little disappoint me is the no real improvement on the camera 
side of things. I was quite looking forward to at least 12mp camera. That will 
make a different when come to things like OCR, or the pertential of some 
digital magnifying or similar things. Considering the new Nokia Lumia comes 
with like 41mp camera or some crazy number like that, i think 12mp or 14mp, or 
even 16mp isn't too much to ask for from Apple.

Regardless, i think it will be an upgrate for me, from 4 to 5. I' quite looking 
forward for the new features that 4 doesn't have, e.g. SIRI, turn by turn maps, 
passbook, etc.

 USB can carry video. I'm not sure why Apple chooses not to use the micro USB
 connector, but I do know that Apple chooses not to participate in various
 cell phone consortiums, so they were not present when the cell phone
 manufacturers adopted micro USB as the standard for the battery charging
 connection.

 Subject: Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been

 Just to add some more info about the new connector (I thought it was 
 eight pin, not nine... although the point is the same really.) 
 Apparently they made it smaller because they couldn't continue making 
 products thinner with a 30 pin connection slot taking up valuable 
 hardware space. Supposedly it'll be apple's standard connection for 
 many years to come according to them. By that logic, I can't fault 
 them for making the change -- they would've had to do it sooner or 
 later.

 What irritates me more is that the adaptors are $35 each -- at least 
 in Canada. Personally, I think they're ridiculously over-priced and 
 Apple isn't allowing any 3rd party vendors to create adaptors of 
 their own for the time being, if ever.

 On one hand, it's smart because it creates an added revenue stream 
 for Apple but on the other hand, I find it kind of sleazy. No one was 
 really asking for the change or a thinner device so why do we have to 
 pay to retro-fit things? As far as I know, no adaptor comes included 
 with the phone, which would've been nice. Perhaps it could've been 
 absorbed into the cost of the phone but oh well -- looks like that's

 Hello List,



 I don't think I came across many posts who mention a few additional 
 iPhone
 5
 changes/improvements. First, the iPhone 5 has a new 9 PIN connector. 
 This means if you have a music dock or even the Apple iPhone dock 
 and iPhone cables you will not be able to use any of them with a new 
 iPhone 5. Cables you can use if you buy an adapter, but I don't 
 think this would work well for sticking your iPhone onto a dock. I 
 think especially for some who have purchased expensive players like 
 a Bose Soundlink or similar this improvement is not so cool. I 
 would consider it an improvement though simply because I get the 
 feeling the much smaller connector will be more stirdy and one very 
 nice feature is the fact that it's reverseable which means it doesn' 
 matter which way around you stick it in, it fits either way.



 Second, the iPhone 5 now has its headphone jack at the bottom where 
 the dock connector is. Apple did not mention this specifically, but 
 apparently Rob from the Today in iOS Podcast did confirm this.



 Third, a new iOS 6 camera feature (at least for the iPhone 5 and 4S)
 allows
 you to take a photo while you are recording video. Maybe not so much 
 a feature many of us would use, but I think it's a nice feature as 
 there might be a scene you want to capture as a photo while you are 
 recording a video, now you can without stopping your video 
 recording.



 Lastly, I found it interesting that Apple did not mention the 
 Podcast app and none of the comments I read where people were naming 
 apps visible on the home screen during the event mentioned it 
 either. I also just looked on

Questions about the Skype and Facebook apps

2012-09-14 Thread Mary-Jo Lord
Hi,

I have two questions.

I was playing with the facebook app today and was reading news feeds.  For
some reason, I couldn't get the app to read more than ten items.  What am I
not doing?

Also, I just received a voicemail message on Skype.  I was able to retrieve
it on my computer, but not on my phone.  It says that voice messages is not
activated, and it sounds like an on off toggle button, but when I double
tape it it doesn't do anything.  Again, what am I not doing?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Tom Tom Navigation 3 g or maps on phone

Hello,

TomTom stores its maps on the phone. I prefer TomTom over Navigon, which places 
me in the minority on these lists. The problem with walking and TomTom is that 
the announcements are triggered further out from the turns. That said, I prefer 
TomTom's interface and layout.

RE: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread Daniel Miller
Hi,

I think the camera in the iPhone 5 will be plenty good for OCR, and things
like that. Just because it's still 8 MP doesn't mean it will be the same
quality as the 4S camera was. The reason they couldn't make the number
higher was due to the optics they could achieve in such a thin profile
device.

I think what a little disappoint me is the no real improvement on the camera
side of things. I was quite looking forward to at least 12mp camera. That
will make a different when come to things like OCR, or the pertential of
some digital magnifying or similar things. Considering the new Nokia Lumia
comes with like 41mp camera or some crazy number like that, i think 12mp or
14mp, or even 16mp isn't too much to ask for from Apple.

Regardless, i think it will be an upgrate for me, from 4 to 5. I' quite
looking forward for the new features that 4 doesn't have, e.g. SIRI, turn by

Anytime a double-tap does not work for me, I first find the item on the display 
and try the split-tap. Occasionally, this will work. If it doesn't, I then try 
the double-tap and hold pass through gesture. If that doesn't work, I try the 
pass through gesture followed by swiping my finger to the right before lifting 
it from the display. Finally, if none of the above work, I find the item on the 
display again, lift my finger from the display whilst keeping it over the 
button, triple-tap the home button with my other hand, touch the item location 
and lift my finger, and then triple-tap home to turn VO on. If none of the

For the facebook app, you need to pass through a scroll up gesture.
The 3-finger swipe up will not work.

What you need to do is put a finger near the bottom of the screen and then
double-tap and hold it there, wait for the tri-tone signal, and then swipe
up.  This is all done with one finger.

Once you do this, new messages will appear at the bottom of the screen.

This is a bit tedious, but does work.

Hope this helps,

RE: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Scott,

I agree with you that a new feature in iTunes and the lack of iPhone
innovation have little if anything to do with each other.  

When posting my original reply to the list, I was thinking about how much
time the speaker, during the keynote presentation, spent demonstrating the
new next up feature that will be in the next major release of iTunes.  

In a nut shell, there are those that will applaud whatever Apple does
regardless of how much or how little.  I am not one of them.

I think it's great that the new iPhone will be faster but the same can be
said of all of its predecessors, as well, at the time of their release.  

Given that they only release one new version of the device per year, I
suppose I was hoping for something new and tantalizing such as was the case
with the iPhone 4 S with Siri.  

Getting back to iTunes, I think it's getting a little late in the day for
Apple to act as though adding a feature to playlists is that big of a deal.


Of course, this is just my opinion but I stand by it.  The market has
matured and, as far as media managers are concerned, iTunes is sorely
lacking, at worst, and is average, at best.  Admittedly, I am not taking
into account, accessibility which, for blind and low vision users, is truly
a game changer.  

As I stated, I will purchase an iPhone 5 next week but I will do so because
I am a fan of Apple and I love having the latest and greatest but not
because of any must-have features.

Accessibility notwithstanding, while Apple may have reinvented the
proverbial Smartphone wheel, they no longer own the road upon which it
travels.

How is manipulating playlists a lack of innovation? Since iTunes is really a
small part of the whole picture I'm not sure how it makes any real
difference.
Clearly there is only so much room to innovate currently in the hardware but
certainly the innovation will be in the software.
True innovation in hardware will come when someone manages to get 24 hours
runtime (surfing, streaming, and such) on their phone. Now that is going to
be innovative. :)

Ah, well I have not watched the keynote, so now I understand the context of 
your comments. Well hey I imagine someone will find those new fangled iTunes 
features quite interesting. I however like iTunes just fine for what it does 
and what it does for me is working great. I really see the iPhone 5 as sort of 
an evolution to the next thing because now they have LTE which was really a 
game changer for a lot of folks.
Really what I hope is that companies will start to really focus in on 
performance and battery life. I think these things will be what sets devices 
apart from each other. Well ok if you make one that can survive being run over 
by a crate train might impress me a little. :)

Hi.

From what I'm reading, it's extremely unlikely US cariers will support that
feature, at all. It has something to do with using 3G signals for wideband
audio, as opposed to LTE, which all 3 carriers are focused on at this point
in time, and probably won't want to devote the resources needed to support
wideband audio.

RE: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-14 Thread Jesus Garcia
I agree also, let us keep in mind one issue regarding the competing
operating system Android. Besides issues of access the fact is that updates
to the software are under control of your carrier and phone manufacturer.
thus, I have several friends that are still waiting for android 4.1 because
there carrier and/or phone maker is not yet released the update. 

I wonder why Apple did not simply replace the connecter with a micro USB
instead of the new connecter, but for me that is a miner issue. If I did not
have another year left on my contract I would certainly take a hard look at
upgrading to the new phone.

Honestly, I don't agree.  I have a 4s and the only reason I'm not upgrading
is because I still have another year to go before I'm eligible.  I guess
it's subjective, but faster processor, better optics, dual band WiFi, and
thinner and lighter, are all great reasons in my mind to upgrade if one is
eligible.  JMO.

 quite ready for prime time just yet.

 Hello Listers,
 
 In preparation for a presentation that my team is doing in October I have
 been researching some video magnifier apps to demo.  Is there anyone on the
 list that has used any of the apps in this genre, and if so, which ones, and
 how do they work for you?  Keep in mind that I am blind and I will be
 presenting for a group of TVI's in Georgia, so even though I can't see what
 the app can magnify, it is important that our audience be able to see it.
 We will be plugging into a large screen projector for the presentation.
 
 Any information will be greatly appreciated.

RE: A new version of iTunes is out for download

I actually was able to get it by launching iTunes directily from the
desktop.  I too saw that it hadn't pushed to the software update utility
yet.

You'll have to go get it manually, since it's apparently not pushed to
apples software update mechanism yet.

It's for the desktop application. Depending on your settings, you may get a
pop up or some other prompt. That or you could probably go to NiNite.com at
this point and grab the exicutable file. As a Jaws user, I haven't noticed
anything broken as far as accessibility since I upgraded thank goodness.

Hey all: 
I see nothing to indicate a new itunes update. Must I have it before
upgrading to ios six? If so where do I find it on my phone? Thanks ahead.

A Tip for A T T Wireless Customers Who Are Thinking About Upgrading to iPhone 5

2012-09-14 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

I went into the A T  T Wireless store a few hours ago to see if I am
eligible for an upgrade.  Somehow I knew I wouldn't be but I just wanted to
confirm (Smile).  Not that it matters as I have decided to purchase iPhone
5.

I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers.
While I no longer frequent the A T  T Wireless or Verizon Wireless stores
as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised.  There
was a waiting list to enter the store.  

I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was
because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5.  

It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote
presentation.

After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless store
and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering.  

All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the
Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it.  

By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T  T wireless store.  The
receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for an
upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone:

1.
Open the Phone App.

2.
Switch to the Dial Pad.

3.
Dial *639#

4.
Tap the Call button.  By the way, 6 3  9 spells the word NEW.  You will
receive a text message stating your eligibility status.

Mark

Re: A Tip for A T T Wireless Customers Who Are Thinking About Upgrading to iPhone 5

2012-09-14 Thread John Panarese
   It's funny because I don't know of anyone who is underwhealmed by the iPhone 
5.  In fact, I think there was more negative reaction to the 4 and 4S among the 
people I know than the 5.  I think that we really sometimes miss the point of 
these releases because we naturally look at the accessibility features over 
anything else.

Re: Deleting from within music app

2012-09-14 Thread Kirsten Edmondson
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but can't get delete to come up when I double 
tap, hold and then swipe. There is a menu button which comes up at the end of 
the whole list of albums, but double tapping and holding doesn't do anything 
either! 
Any suggestions? 
Thanks

RE: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

2012-09-14 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Apple provides a Micro USB adapter in Europe which they have to do by law,
so it's not quite the same as backing USB. Of course Apple isn't exactly
known to support industry standards, just consider Firewire and Thunderbolt
not to mention Micro SIM and now Nano SIM. In any case, I personally think
Micro USB is a big pain in the neck, I know a lot of sighted people who even
have to look twice before they have the thing facing the right way and I
think having a small reverseable connector is just fine. Given the
popularity of Apple devices and the huge offering of cables, docks etc.
whatever they do is almost a standard by itself and if it's simpler and
maybe more durable than a micro USB connector then why not. After all, if
you want micro USB just get an adapter. I heard that there is maybe even in
in-version change for the new iPad and that it will have the new small
connector.


Regards,
Sieghard

Re: US ITC judge rules Apple does not violate Samsung patents

2012-09-14 Thread James Mannion
I wonder how much we have to worry about the LTE complaints that are
said could be filed by Samsung. Instead of just producing their own
products, they may try to use the legal system to ban the IPhone 5
from being sold. That would suck. These standards should not be
allowed to be locked down by some patent held by one company. That is
to cornor the market in a way that is not fair to anyone. You can't
have a standard if everyone has to do it a different way. I hate
Samsung. I guess they can't rely on their products to stand up against
the competition, they have to find some corrupt way to get rid of them
instead.
