Maps on iPhone 4 with IOS6

[Kevin Gibbs]

guys,
I'm thinking of upgrading to IOS6 on my iPhone 4.  What's restraining me is 
the stuff I keep hearing about how the Maps on IOS 6 really suck.  has 
anyone had any experience getting from A to B using the new maps app?  How 
reliable is it?  I heard that they fired the guy responsible for it a few 
weeks back.  

anyway, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Kevin
If I decide it sucks, is it even possible to downgrade back to IOS 5?

Re: Great plan special for Canadians with Koodo or Fido

[Grant Hardy]

I believe Canadian wireless is the second most expensive in the world;
that's why it's so expensive. To be fair, we have pretty fast and
reliable networks covering vast areas of land. Also, we tend to have
pretty reasonable policies--you seldom hear of plans that don't
include tethering, for example, and Fido was the first North American
carrier to begin unlocking the iPhone.

Duck Hunt Developer

Hi,  
I realize that the duck hunt previously mentioned is probably not on the app 
store anymore but was just curious who the developer is?  
Maybe they have other games.

I'm with telus and I have 5 gigs of data available but I only use about 1 a

Marco,

 

Which carrier is that and how much data does your plan include? Does that
price of $86 include GST?

 

In any case, that sounds pretty expensive, I had better than that from Telus
before I switched to Koodo and I paid around $70 + tax. I only had 1 Gig of
data which I never used anyways, so I could see how you would pay this much
if you had 3 or 4 Gig. And you can always call them and tell them you are
not happy with what you have and that you feel you pay too much, sometimes
they are willing to review it and put you on something better.

Sieghard

Re: Antivirus software

[James Mannion]

While we can not deny anything is possible, and yes I am sure someone
determined enough could make something like that happen with an
IPhone, they would have to jump through a lot of hoops to do it and to
get the code approved and into the store. What the android fans love
to level against the IPhone is how it is such a closed system and
theirs is so open. Yes, open to malware consistently on the rise So
far as I know there are few things one would likely truly care about
that they do with this "open" system that we do not have a way of
doing. Yes there are a few, they can use more synthesizers for
example. Most of what is sited often though it seems they haven't
chosen to investigate the method of doing on IOS. So the bang for the
buck on that open system is not all that much of a bang I don't think.

Re: Major problems streaming internet radio on iPhone 5

[Grant Hardy]

Sorry, the last part of my message was not clear--I am in Canada, so
this is why American stations may be blocking certain IP ranges that I
am within. It's all due to higher royalties that they have to pay
artists, I believe, if they want their streams to be accessible
internationally.

iOS is pretty secure and while anything's possible, I would be willing to

to know what phone they were using?

iOS is pretty secure and while anything's possible, I would be willing
to bet that the malicious code was not executed on an iPhone.

RE: Antivirus software

[CD]

That's what I thought but it's sure on the news lately about how someone
bought a ringtone thing and their phones were scamed from this computer who
tracked everything they purchased at the mall and everyone they texted to.

Unless you begin to "hack" your iPhone, in all honesty I wouldn't worry

Unless you begin to "hack" your iPhone, in all honesty I wouldn't
worry about it and there aren't system-wide antivirus apps designed
for the iPhone. They aren't really needed. Since each app is kept in
its own sandbox and cannot access anything else on your device aside

Re: Major problems streaming internet radio on iPhone 5

[Grant Hardy]

Hi all,

Just an update RE my streaming problems with my iPhone 5. I've done a
lot of testing, and have been helped by a few very kind people who
have tested for me as well.

My conclusion is that it is mostly some kind of problem between my
iPhone 5 and my router. I have completely turned off WIFI (and LTE as
well, because I don't think I live in an area with very good LTE
coverage). I've been connected happily to a station now for
approaching one hour, no issues at all.

So why do two devices, connected to the same router, work differently?
That is a question for which I still don't have a clear answer, but I
suppose it could be anything--an incompatibility with the specific
router or firmware I'm using, a difference in how the 4S is connecting
to my router versus the 5 (i.e. I'm not sure which Wireless-N
frequencies my router is offering in mixed NG mode which is what I was
using, but it's possible that one is connecting in N-mode and one is
connecting in G-mode which is making a difference), or simply my
imagination--when I pull out my older iPhone 4S to run tests, they're
not really "real world" tests. It's not as though I listen to streams
for hours on the 4S anymore. Frankly, it's also possible that my
router is going, and that there are issues as the 5 is switching
between WIFI and cellular data. I also listen to a number of
commercial U.S. radio stations, and I have a feeling some of them may
be throttling/blocking the connection. I say that because I discovered
that one of my favourite stations is suddenly blocking my carrier's IP
address and redirecting it to another stream, while my ISP seems to be
unblocked for the moment. I've tried some other categories of stations
that I wouldn't normally listen to, and they're working fine.

Given that I had an iPhone 5 replaced for an unrelated issue and it
had the same strangeness, I'm concluding for now that it isn't the
fault of the iPhone 5, but something to do either with the networking
setup I'm using or the stations I've been listening to. As long as I'm
right, this is a huge relief!

I'll try with a lot more stations and different networks in the coming
days and keep you guys posted. I appreciate all the help I've received
thus far. :)

Re: Basic wireless blue tooth keyboard and the IPhone-4s.

[Marcy Weinberg]

Ionis basic Bluetooth wireless keyboard. It is very easy to pair with your iOS 
device, and works quite well. The first time you pair it , all your required to 
do is type in a four digit code on the keyboard, then press enter, and your 
keyboard is paired with your iOS device. When you're finished, if you tell your 
phone to forget the device, and the next time you Parikh, you'll simply have to 
type in another four digit code on the keyboard.

Antivirus software

[CD]

I've been watching the news and hearing about all of the phone scams out
there.  What I would like to know is what antivirus software should we put
on our smart phones?  They keep saying to get one but I have no idea which
one to get and how they work.  Fortunately I don't use the web a lot and I
only buy apps from the App Store but if anyone has any info on what to get I
would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks!

 Hello.
 I know of no utility that will let you accessibly read mobi files on
 iOs. It is, however, easily possible to convert mobi files to epub
 which can, of course, be read in iBooks. The quickest and most
 private method of conversion which I've seen is through caliber. Try
 http://calibre-ebook.com/ and the manual for accessible conversions
 through Calibre is at
>>> http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html
I hope that's of use.

Re: kendal books with the apple store

[Teresa Cochran]

Well, I'm voting with my wallet. Since Apple and Barnes and Noble have made 
efforts to make books accessible, I'm sticking with them. Granted the blind 
population isn't a significant share of the market, but it might be enough to 
be noticeable. More options are better, but I'd much rather buy from a 
competitor than force the issue on folk who choose not to create accessible 
books, or indeed do anything else that might be good for consumers.

HtH,
Teresa

I wouldn't worry so much about the next one.
Who knows when it'll be.
The 4 is  faster.
The screen is better which I can appreciate just a little.
Mostly though, the iPad2 held its value so well I figured it made sense to
sell it and buy into the latest one.
Sticking with my  iPhone 4s for now at least.

Re: kendal books with the apple store

[Aman Singer]

Hello, Marco and all.
This will undoubtedly sound odd, but I am more irritated and enraged 
about the fact that the Kindle store isn't accessible than I was when, ten 
years ago, we had such a small number of books available. Ten years ago, to 
make a printed book accessible took time and effort. At the very least, it took 
modifying the printer or author's electronic text to make it readable. More 
usually, it required time and money to make talking books or braille. It wasn't 
excusable that publishers refused to spend the time and money, but it was 
understandable, no business wants to pay out for something which brings in no 
return.
The situation is very different now. Books in Epub or Kindle format are 
accessible by default. Rather than letting them remain  accessible, publishers 
spend their time and money putting their books into inaccessible formats, like 
image-based PDF, or putting DRM on accessible formats and forcing them to be 
read in inaccessible programs to supposedly protect them from copying. Having 
done that, they don't bother making those supposedly protecting programs 
usable. 
Ten years ago, I couldn't properly read a book because I am blind and 
can't hear well. That's a misfortune, but it's not anybody's fault. Now, I 
can't properly read a book because the publisher and vendor think that the 
illusion of security is more important than allowing their books to be read by 
all. That is somebody's fault. It is far more of an outrage than the fact that 
the publisher didn't take steps to make the book accessible, the publisher is 
taking steps to make an accessible book inaccessible.
On another matter, you ask
The next thing for me
> would be to have an accessible library that has books you can borrow
> digitally for a month instead of paying $15 for each title.   

I'm not sure where you are, but your local public library may allow 
borrowing through overdive
http://www.overdrive.com
They offer a good many titles, in both Ebook and audio book format, 
depending on the library. Their books are generally in Epub, at least outside 
the United States. Their audio books are in windows media format, and can be 
played on their own overdrive media console app on the iDevices. They do, 
however, require that you break the DRM on the books to read them smoothly and 
in iBooks/your Epub reader of choice. I believe the application that is used to 
read them is somewhat usable on the iPhone. The audio books certainly work 
well, I'm not sure, though, about the Ebooks. The application used to read them 
on Windows is Adobe Digital Editions, which is supposed to support screen 
readers but crashes allot when one is loaded.
I hope that's helpful.

Re: Reading .mobi files on the iPhone

[Aman Singer]

Hi, John.
If I may ask, what readers have you used? I am a bit surprised to hear what you 
say below, as I understood that Mobi and Epub were entirely different 
containers, though both use HTML/XHTML for their text. Epub is a zip file, 
basically, while Mobi is a .PRC Palm Pilot file. However that may be, I would 
be overjoyed if simple renaming would work, it would save tons of headaches, 
particularly on mobile platforms like the iDevices. Unfortunately, I cannot 
seem to get this to work on any of the three readers I have here. With Ibooks, 
Blio, and Nook, the reader simply refuses to load the renamed file. It's as if 
the file isn't there. There is no error, but the file, when I attempt to load 
it, simply disappears and is not visible in the list of books in either 
application. When using the file with Epub readers on the PC, particularly 
Kurzweil 1000 and Digital Editions, the file is not opened and I do get an 
error saying that the file is not in the correct format.
If you would let us know which reader can do this, particularly if it's for 
mobile, it would be appreciated.

Re: kendal books with the apple store

[Aman Singer]

Sorry, all, if this, too, comes in twice or looks strange.
Hello, Marco and all.
This will undoubtedly sound odd, but I am more irritated and enraged
about the fact that the Kindle store isn't accessible than I was when,
ten years ago, we had such a small number of books available. Ten
years ago, to make a printed book accessible took time and effort. At
the very least, it took modifying the printer or author's electronic
text to make it readable. More usually, it required time and money to
make talking books or braille. It wasn't excusable that publishers
refused to spend the time and money, but it was understandable, no
business wants to pay out for something which brings in no return.
The situation is very different now. Books in Epub or Kindle format
are accessible by default. Rather than letting them remain
accessible, publishers spend their time and money putting their books
into inaccessible formats, like image-based PDF, or putting DRM on
accessible formats and forcing them to be read in inaccessible
programs to supposedly protect them from copying. Having done that,
they don't bother making those supposedly protecting programs usable.
Ten years ago, I couldn't properly read a book because I am blind and
can't hear well. That's a misfortune, but it's not anybody's fault.
Now, I can't properly read a book because the publisher and vendor
think that the illusion of security is more important than allowing
their books to be read by all. That is somebody's fault. It is far
more of an outrage than the fact that the publisher didn't take steps
to make the book accessible, the publisher is taking steps to make an
accessible book inaccessible.
On another matter, you ask
The next thing for me
> would be to have an accessible library that has books you can borrow
> digitally for a month instead of paying $15 for each title.

I'm not sure where you are, but your local public library may allow
borrowing through overdive http://www.overdrive.com
They offer a good many titles, in both Ebook and audio book format,
depending on the library. Their books are generally in Epub, at least
outside the United States. Their audio books are in windows media
format, and can be played on their own overdrive media console app on
the iDevices. They do, however, require that you break the DRM on the
books to read them smoothly and in iBooks/your Epub reader of choice.
I believe the application that is used to read them is somewhat usable
on the iPhone. The audio books certainly work well, I'm not sure,
though, about the Ebooks. The application used to read them on Windows
is Adobe Digital Editions, which is supposed to support screen readers
but crashes allot when one is loaded.
I hope that's helpful.

checking spelling when typing in braille?

[Aman Singer]

Hi, all.
I am after a decent way of checking spelling when typing on a
braille display. As it stands, when I type a word which is not spelled
correctly and hit space, It shows up as an alert on the braille display.
This is not satisfactory for typing long passages, as I don't want to look
at the display after every finished word. Is there a way to determine, on
the display, which words are not spelled correctly after having typed out a
passage?
Thanks.
Aman

Re: channeling voice over through the Plantronics Discovery 975-R Bluetooth Headset

[David Chittenden]

As Nokia is a completely different operating system from iOS, you are comparing 
apples and oranges here.

The A2DP profile is used for the transmission of much more frequency rich sound 
that is used in transmission of wireless stereo and multichannel music. Apple 
has chosen to use this system for transmitting VO speech. I would guess it has 
something to do with audio frequencies covered by the A2DP profile, but I am 
not an Apple engineer.

Re: Ipad getter

Hi, and thanks. I"m not buying this Ipad, the FCC gives it and Braille 
notetakers to deaf-blind people who meet the application requirements.  
Apparently, I do. WH'd have thought.  Anyway, I'd rather have WIFI than 3 or 
even 4G and wouldn't bother with a CDMA unless I had no choice.  I have a Holux 
2100 GPS receiver that i use with my Trekker, which is also rapidly going

  Mich,

   

  If Telus works in your area then Koodo will as well because Koodo is owned by 
Telus and uses the exact same network. In fact, when I turn my phone off 
completely and then turn it on and look at the status bar immediately where the 
carrier information is displayed, I can often see "searching." for a moment, 
then it says "Telus Network" and then after a bit more it switches to "Koodo 
Network".

Re: gmail on iPhone

No, it doesn't appear to, but the interface is quite a bit different

Re: accessibility of sparrow drafts & camera +

not sure about the first two, but sparrow is only somewhat accessible.  It puts 
everything in the messages table into an html form, making it almost impossible

Depends on the keyboard;  the very top-left key acts as home button on this

BT keyboard help for Mini?

[Rob Harris]

First, sometimes when I use the ctrl-up/down for first or last item, 
especially first;  and in a web page in particular;  it'll get stuck and 
there seems no way to get right back to the top of the screen to get at bak, 
prev, next,  etc.

I would also like to know if there's a key combination to crank the rotor 
round to a different setting.  I found shift-up/down to emulate the flick 
up/down. Changing rotor setting would be so useful!
I hate touching the screen hwen editing as I keep losing focus off the input 
field and have a heck of a job getting it back.

Thanks, RobH.

Re: Rolling back in an app

[Shane Clark]

Hi,
Where is this media folder found within iTunes, and how do you create this 
mobile applications folder from the computer using iTunes? I'm not all that 
familiar with how to do things using iTunes from the computer, because I have 
an older version of iTunes on my desktop, running Jaws 11, and an older version 
of BlindTunes. I made the mistake of downloading a newer version of iTunes 
running Jaws 11, and a newer version of BlindTunes, And now the iTunes program 
is not as accessible as it is on my desktop. To further complicate the matter, 
I cynced My iPhone 4S and iPad with the desktop computer, which is over at my 
parents house, and I have a laptop over here at my house. So in short, I guess 
I just never took the time or had a reason to learn about this stuff. But it 
does sound interesting. Also, do you know of a way I can make the iTunes on my 
laptop More accessible? I cynced With my desktop, only because all of my music 
is on there.
I hope all of this makes some kind of sense to you. Look forward to hearing 
from you, thanks Raul.

Re: iPad Hater

[cait furness]

When I bought my i phad 2, I just got the wifi model since I already have an i 
phone.  If I really want to, I can use my phone as a hot spot.  Usually, 
though, even if I take my i phad with me, I'm someplace with wifi.  I even have 
an app on there called wifi finder for when I'm someplace where I don't know 
where there's wifi so I can find open spots.
I figured it wasn't worth the extra cost to get an i pad with cellular.

Hey! 

Tap and hold on the keyboard and drag your finger towards the letter you 
want to capitalize. Once you find it, release. Afterwards, swipe up to

Hi Stuart,

 

If Voiceover doesn't come through the headset it probably means the headset
does not support the A2DP profile. This is required for Voiceover to come
through the headset and while most new bluetooth earpieces nowadays have it,
a few don't and I think the Plantronics you mentioned is an older model. In
any case, there is no setting, Voiceover will come out of your headset
automatically if the headset supports A2DP.

RE: Ipad: wifi only or cellular

I personally ponied up the extra cash for the cellular option, since I'd

Really, I think the choice is pretty clear-cut. I have wifi only and don't
miss cellular data and didn't want to pay a carrier more money. But I am
seldom where I don't have access to wifi. If you are going to depend on your
iPad while in places where you don't have good, reliable wifi access, or if
there are services or apps you want to use that require cellular data or a
particular carrier, then you should get cellular or reconsider whether the
iPad is really the best choice for you. Also, one reason I have an iPad in
addition to an iPhone is that I didn't want my battery power on the iPhone
being called on to do everything, although of course I do know that there
are battery charging solutions out there. If battery use isn't an issue for
you, then make sure you have thought through why you want an iPad instead of
or in addition tpo an iPhone.

RE: Ipad getter

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Mark,

I assume you mean a 64 Gigabyte iPad 2 when you say "iPad 2 65G". Anyhow,
the iPad 2 does come in WiFi only models and in 3G models so whether you can
get a data plan for it depends on which iPad you are getting. Keep in mind
that Spring is a CDMA carrier at least as far as 3G goes, so if you get a
GSM iPad, I am not sure if that would work with Sprint at all, I think there
is also a CDMA version of the iPad out there.

As far as using it with a GPS receiver, yes, that would be possible, but you
have to buy one of the few GPS receivers that exist for iOS devices as not
every bluetooth GPS receiver will work with iDevices, in fact, most of them
won't. If you google "GPS receivers for iPhone" you should find the
information you need.

Regards and enjoy the new toy,

Sieghard

RE: iPad Hater

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Keith,

I think buying an iPad 2 now is a bad choice, it would be like buying an
iPhone 4 rather than a 5. The iPad Retina as they call the latest version
has a much much faster processor and, of course, it has the retina screen
which may not as important to you, but if you have sighted family or friends
who maybe want to look at pictures it's worth it. It does also have a
greatly improved camera and it has SIRI which the iPad 2 does not have. 

I think those are enough compelling reasons not to buy an iPad 2.

Sieghard

RE: Free ap for today: Ringtone Architect

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Robert,

 

By default the app takes the first 40 seconds of a song. You can play that
40 second portion of the song and, if you don't like it, approximately
figure out how many seconds into the song you want to start. If, for
example, you think you want to start 6 seconds into the song, just change
the start position to 6 seconds, the duration will still be 40 seconds so
when you play your selection it will play from 6 seconds to 46 seconds. Then
you may decide that you have to nudge the start position a bit more ahead or
back to make it sound good and you can do that because each tap on the > or
< symbol only moves the position by one tenth of a second. Once you have it
where you want it you can do the same to the end position. If the song fades
out in the middle of a word and you want to make it a couple of seconds
shorter you can just move the end position back, in my example instead of
from 6 to 46 seconds you may want to go from 7 to 44 seconds which will
result in a ringtone that is 37 seconds long instead of the full 40 seconds
you can have.

 

Once you play around with it it's really quite easy to do, it does require a
lot of taps if you want to move the position by 8 or 10 seconds as you have
to tap the < or > symbol ten times for each second, but if you split tap
it's pretty quick and it's way more precise than using a slider.

Sieghard

RE: Free ap for today: Ringtone Architect

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Tom,

The restrictions Apple imposes at times can be a pain, but in many cases
it's that control which makes iOS what it is and that is awesomely
accessible, secure, stabil and all in all a very good user experience.

There is no point in going on about how unfair it is that Apple doesn't
allow a developer like those who have RingTone apps to put the ringtone
straight into the RingTone Library on the phone right from the app. But
complaining about this is useless as I doubt Apple will give full access to
the file system any time soon. It's like Pablo's ongoing complaints about
not being able to downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5, Apple doesn't allow that
and if one does their homework before that is not a secret and anybody who
doesn't want to take the risk should not upgrade.

Anyhow, I personally don't find it very difficult to create the ringtone and
either email it or grab it in iTunes with iTunes File Transfer and to save
it into my RingTones folder and then sync. I sync my phone with iTunes from
time to time anyways so really it's just one extra step to get the ringtone
into the RingTones or Automatically Add to Library folder. After all, I
don't care if I have to sync my phone with iTunes to get it onto the phone
or if I have to find the Ringtones folder on my phone and manually copy it
in there, the end result is the same.

And you could always Jailbreak if you want full access to the file system
and use all the wonderful jailbreak apps that are out there, it may result
in your phone being less stabil, but it's for everybody to decide. Of course
if you have upgraded to iOS 6 jailbreaking is not yet an option, at least
not for the normal guy who wants an untethered jailbreak.

Sieghard

I don't think your wifi i pad 2 can do cellular unless you use your i phone as

to ask specifics about it since I haven't played with garage band on the i pad

[Richard Turner]

Hi Mary and all,

Yes, with the USB to Parallel adapter, a parallel to Centronics printer port 
cable and setyting the printer port to parallel, the Braille Sense Plus will 
emboss to the INdex Bsic D V3.

Thisis good to know.

Now, if Index would only make it possible to use the USB port.

RE: gmail on iPhone

[Thom]

IMAP keeps the messages on the server so that they will be available on
multiple devices.
POP will delete the messages after they have been downloaded.

Is there a preference for having the Gmail account set to IMAP as opposed to
pop free? I have often wondered why people prefer one or the other, but
don't know what the differences are.

Thank you.

Ipad getter

[Mark BurningHawk]

Today, barring random acts of the flying spaghetti monster, I am receiving an 
Ipad 2 65G with WIFI.  I believe it will be running IOS6.2 or at least 6  I'll 
also be receiving a Braille notetaker, though which one yet remains 
undetermined, to pair with the Ipad.  What can my new Ipad do? dDoes the 2 do 
cellular?  Can I use it with my existing Spring account, assuming I change the 
plan to reflect it?  Can I pair it with a GPS receiver, even if it is a little 
bulky for field use?   Can I record my music on it?  I assume I can, as I've 
watched traffic about that.  Happy Xmas for me.

Hi Carol.

I have a WiFi only Mini and haven't missed anything because I also have 
an iPhone 4s.  If I didn't have my 4s, I would miss the cellular aspect 
for sure.  Personally, I use the Mini more as a consumption device 
around the house, meaning books, pod casts, some email and some browsing 
and I love it in that context.  I would never give up my iPhone however 
for maximum portability no matter where I go with it.  Just my thoughts.

Re: Capitalizing words with Fleksy

[Traci]

The way I know how to do it is:

Fine the letter you want, when you are going to type the more traditional way.  
Release that letter, then flick up to capitalize it.

RE: iPad Hater

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

What do you like better about the iPad 4 over the iPad 2? I'm trying to decide 
whether to try an iPad 4 or wait intil whatever the next iPad name will be. 
Some on this list have thought it could be as soon as 5 to 6 months.

Thanks.

I love my iPad 4 which I bought to replace an iPad 2 which has moved

My point was that an iPad and iPhone are both great but are different

Hello all Uk members.
Yesterday I downloaded the app for my bank, Lloyds Tsb, onto my iPhone 4. 
It is very accessible and allows me to for example review my accounts, 
transfer money from one account to another, etc etc. I should say you do 
need to be a registered internet banking member in order to use this app 
since you need to log in with your information. But it's certainly very 
handy and saves going onto my banking website on my Pc or mac. The app is 
free and can be found in the Apps store. Search for Lloyds Tsb.

Enjoy!

Ipad: wifi only or cellular

[Cheryl Homiak]

Really, I think the choice is pretty clear-cut. I have wifi only and don't miss 
cellular data and didn't want to pay a carrier more money. But I am seldom 
where I don't have access to wifi. If you are going to depend on your iPad 
while in places where you don't have good, reliable wifi access, or if there 
are services or apps you want to use that require cellular data or a particular 
carrier, then you should get cellular or reconsider whether the iPad is really 
the best choice for you. Also, one reason I have an iPad in addition to an 
iPhone is that I didn't want my battery power on the iPhone being called on to 
do everything, although of course I do know that there are battery charging 
solutions out there. If battery use isn't an issue for you, then make sure you 
have thought through why you want an iPad instead of or in addition tpo an 
iPhone.

Re: iPad Hater

I bought the wireless version because I felt that if I needed to connect using 
a data connection, I could tether the iPad to my iPhone. I do not believe for 
that reason that acellular version of the iPad is necessary.

 and why one chooses one over the other. Personally I'm fine without 
 the iPad and perfectly happy with the iPhone, but someone like my 
 wife and daughter would really enjoy the iPad for the kinds of 
 things you can do on it VS the iPhone. For example, my daughter is 
 sighted and an avid reader. Reading books on her iPhone is not as 
 fun as it is on the iPad because of the text size and because of 
 more scrolling which is done from the iPhone, but the iPad is 
 perfect for her socialization, email, and book reading needs.
 
 So, I imagine that eventually the girls in my life will convince me 
 to get one or both of them an iPad. Until then, scroll scroll 
 scroll from the iPhone. I keep telling them to just use Nook and 
 Voice Over and let it do all the work. Or better yet, Audible 
 books. But no one listens to me. .

Re: Free ap for today: Ringtone Architect

[Tom Lange]

Hi,

I'm gonna rant here for a second or two, so bear with me, okay.  Hopefully I 
won't make a complete ass of myself in the process.


I really like the idea of using an app like this to create custom ringtones 
from songs in my music library.


Having said that, what seems really stupid and inefficient to me is creating 
the ringtone, having to e-mail it to myself, save it on my PC, import it 
into iTunes, then sync with the phone.  Where's the logic in all that?  Why 
doesn't Apple give us the ability to access the phone's folder/file 
structure directly and save the ringtone where it needs to go? I guess this 
sort of limitation's been around since IOS came into existence so I'd just 
have to get used to it, but it annoys the hell out of me.  On my PC, laptop 
and note-taker I've got free rein to do what I please within the file system 
and it's my responsibility alone if I screw things up.  Would I have to 
jailbreak the phone to get around that limitation?


I'll freely admit that, being relatively new to IOS, having only used it for 
about a year-and-a-half, these may be silly questions, but it's something 
I've always wondered about.

Hi again,

By the way, if you want to delete the RingTone from the app after you sent
it, just double tap on Edit and a "Delete switch button, off" will appear
next to the file. Again you just hear the swipe tone if you swipe right 
from

the delete switch to the actual file, but you can double tap the delete
switch to change it to "Confirm deletion for" and double tap that to
complete deletion of the file. Normally Voiceover would say "Confirm
deletion for and then speak the file name, but it's still useable. After 
you

are done deleting the file double tap on Done at the top right (it's the
Edit button which changes to "Done" when you double tap it.

Maybe some of you who have more time than I right now will write to the
developer, it would be nice if that last little bit was made accessible.

Consider dictation, and remember to say the punctuation marks as they're

Hi guys,

I'm considering getting a writing program for my IPhone. I like to write
stories, and would like to at least take notes on the IPhone. But is there
an easy way to copy what I've written from the Phone to the computer?

Kind regards,

Helena

For all Uk members Lloyds Tsb app

[Chris H]

Hello all Uk members.
Yesterday I downloaded the app for my bank, Lloyds Tsb, onto my iPhone 
4. It is very accessible and allows me to for example review my 
accounts, transfer money from one account to another, etc etc. I should 
say you do need to be a registered internet banking member in order to 
use this app since you need to log in with your information. But it's 
certainly very handy and saves going onto my banking website on my Pc or 
mac. The app is free and can be found in the Apps store. Search for 
Lloyds Tsb.

Enjoy!

Re: iPad Hater

[Raul A. Gallegos]

I'm sorry, what was that? What did you say? Yes, many women don't 
listen, but many men don't hear. . So it evens out. In all 
seriousness, I think you are right that I will eventually end up buying 
an iPad. It might be a family iPad for starters to see what use we get 
out of it to start with though and then we can go from there. I need to 
get my big promotion first though before that can happen.


Thanks.

All sarcasm aside, I do believe that both iPad and iPhone have their place and

Personally I'm fine without the iPad and perfectly happy with the iPhone, but 
someone like my wife and daughter would really enjoy the iPad for the kinds of 
things you can do on it VS the iPhone. For example, my daughter is sighted and 
an avid reader. Reading books on her iPhone is not as fun as it is on the iPad 
because of the text size and because of more scrolling which is done from the 
iPhone, but the iPad is perfect for her socialization, email, and book reading 
needs.

So, I imagine that eventually the girls in my life will convince me to get one or 
both of them an iPad. Until then, scroll scroll scroll from the iPhone. I keep 
telling them to just use Nook and Voice Over and let it do all the work. Or better 
yet, Audible books. But no one listens to me. .

Where am I going wrong? Are there apps that let you read Dropbox files

the iPhone 5 for the faster processor and 4G connections, but before

Right now it just feels like one big ass screen that feels more

Re: Rolling back in an app

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello Shane. Yes, you did it right, but please know that the reason this 
worked for you is because you hadn't updated the apps from the iTunes on 
your PC. If you had done that, then what you did wouldn't have worked. 
Now, to answer your other questions. First off, there is no way to get 
rid of the number of apps which need to be updated. This is why it's 
important to not use update all when you have an app which you don't 
want to update. There is no way to hide this from iTunes. So, if there 
are apps to update from either iTunes or the iPhone, you will have to do 
it manually. Now, to answer the folder question. Your iTunes creates 
several folders within its structure. One such folder is called iTunes 
Media. Inside this folder are several other folders like Tones, Music, 
Books, and yes, Mobile Applications. So, this is what I was talking 
about in my message about this folder. What I recommend you do is create 
a second Mobile Applications folder and put the apps you want to keep 
for non updates in there. This way if you ever accidentally update 
something which you don't mean to, or which isn't accessible, you can 
copy the older app from your backup folder back into the regular Mobile 
Applications folder and then add it again to iTunes. Again, this is for 
those times when you update all apps from iTunes on the PC. If you 
continue to do what you did by updating from your phone and see that 
something isn't accessible, then remove it from your phone and then sync 
again from iTunes and it will be fine. I just like having that extra 
backup because I use iTunes to update my apps a lot when syncing my phone.


Hope all this makes sense.

because the checkbox is selected to do this, is this right? I then found my 
phone in the sources box, cynced apps, then tabbed over and found a list of 
apps, and selected the Dish app. Then if I remember correct, I saw how many 
apps were on the phone, and then tabbed over to apply. Its now on there, but in 
the App Store its Still showing that I have one app to be updated, which is the 
Dish app, which I'm obviously not going to update. So Is There anyway to make 
that update go away from the app store? If not, I guess its not a big deal.
Also, I'm not exactly sure what you mean Raul when you talk about a mobile 
applications folder. What is that, and would it be created on the phone or pc? 
Finally, with the way I just said I put the older version back on the phone, 
did I do it right? And what is the difference between the add button and apply 
button in iTunes when cyncing?
Thanks.

Hi, what I do is the following to restore an older app.

First the setup. This has to be done before you can restore an older app.

1. Create a folder called Mobile Applications.old in the same location as my 
iTunes library. This way, both Mobile Applications and Mobile Applications.old 
are in the same iTunes Media folder.

2. Copy the most important apps to it. This is in case you upgrade one which 
isn't working. For example I keep the Chase Mobile, Pandora, and GV Connect 
apps in here just to name a few. Then when a new update comes out I can roll 
back if necessary in case the newer ones aren't accessible.

Restoring the older app.

1. Find the newer app which broke accessibility from the apps section in iTunes.

2. Delete it. iTunes will ask you if you also want to send the app to the 
recycle bin. Say yes. Meaning, you don't want to keep it.

3. Close iTunes.

4. Open both Mobile Applications and Mobile Applications.old folders.

5. Copy the older app from Mobile Applications.old to the regular Mobile 
Applications folder.

6. Close the Mobile Applications.old folder since you are done with it.

7. In the Mobile Applications folder, arrow to the older app you just copied 
and press Enter. This will open iTunes and add the older app back into the 
library.

8. Sync your phone and make sure that the older app is selected in the apps to 
be synced.

A few notes to keep in mind.

1. If you are using older apps because you don't want to upgrade them, be very 
careful when checking for new apps from either iTunes or from your phone that 
you don't do update all. Otherwise you will have to do this all over again.

2. If you don't have an established Mobile Applications.old folder, but you 
have older apps you want to roll back to, they are going t

Mobile Accessibility automatic startup.

Hi Folks:

How does one disable Mobile Accessibility from automatically starting when an 
Android device boots?

Thanks all over the place gang.

Hello,



So I'm not really an iPad hater. Still, made you think, didn't it?



Anyway, I got an iPad 4th gen as a surprise. Honestly, I don't get it. It's
the oversized iPhone I feared. The single best feature I can point to is the
four-finger swipe to switch between apps. Otherwise, without 3G access, I
can't access Dropbox outside of wireless range. Only one of my text editors
will give me some access to the Dropbox file structure, but overall this
doesn't work as the commuter tool I was hoping for.



Where am I going wrong? Are there apps that let you read Dropbox files
outside of wireless range, or is 3G really needed to make this a viable
commuter device? I'm thinking I'd be better off upgrading to the iPhone 5
for the faster processor and 4G connections, but before selling off this
unit, I want to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake. Right now it just
feels like one big ass screen that feels more awkward than useful. Even the
greater web page range is not enough to make me admire the extra screen real
estate.



Thanks in advance for your thoughts,



Joe

Re: Rolling back in an app

[Shane Clark]

Hi Raul and All,
I was able to put the older version of the Dish app back on my 4S. What I did 
was, delete the new version of the app on my phone, then plugged it in to the 
pc, and it automatically started cyncing the phone to the computer I guess 
because the checkbox is selected to do this, is this right? I then found my 
phone in the sources box, cynced apps, then tabbed over and found a list of 
apps, and selected the Dish app. Then if I remember correct, I saw how many 
apps were on the phone, and then tabbed over to apply. Its now on there, but in 
the App Store its Still showing that I have one app to be updated, which is the 
Dish app, which I'm obviously not going to update. So Is There anyway to make 
that update go away from the app store? If not, I guess its not a big deal. 
Also, I'm not exactly sure what you mean Raul when you talk about a mobile 
applications folder. What is that, and would it be created on the phone or pc? 
Finally, with the way I just said I put the older version back on the phone, 
did I do it right? And what is the difference between the add button and apply 
button in iTunes when cyncing?
Thanks.

Re: Free ap for today: Ringtone Architect

[Robert Doc Wright]

How do you suggest a person determines where to start in the song to get the 
clip they want?  Does it give the ability for the user to play and pause the 
song and learn what the elapsed time is?

  Subject: Free ap for today: Ringtone Architect


  Hello Listers,

   

  I know that many people here asked about making ringtones and I thought I 
post this. I have the "App of the Day" app. It's a free app and each day at 
some point in the morning you get a push notification about an app that is free 
for that day. I know there are many other apps like this out there, but today 
the free app is called "Rington Architect". It allows you to create ringtones 
from your music library on your iPhone. It seems the app is quite accessible. 
When you first open it you have 3  choices, "Creat RingTones", "Manage 
RingTones" and "btn Help".

   

  If  you double tap on Create Ringon all the songs on you riPhone are 
displayed in alphabetical order. Pick one and you see a screen with the song 
title and length at the top. Then you have a time readout on the left with a < 
"less than symbol" to the left and a > "greater than symbol" to the right. That 
time that is displayed on the left is your start time and by default it is 0 
seconds. If you swipe right past the > symbol, you see the duration which by 
default is 40 seconds, the maximum length a rington can be. To the right of 
that is your end time and it once again has a < and a > on each side so you can 
double tap on either one and adjust it. If, for example, the start time is 0 
then the end time is 40 seconds as the ringtone is 40 seconds long. You can 
double tap on the < symbol to the left of the end time read out and change the 
end time, for example, to 38 seconds, then this automatically reduces the 
length to 38 seconds as well. If you make the start time greater than 0 
seconds, e.g. you double tap on the > sign to the right of the start time and 
set it to 5 seconds, the end time automatically goes to 45 seconds. The 
increments are super tiny, only one tenth of a second, so if you want to change 
the start time to 10 seconds you have to do a lot of tapping, 10 taps only 
changes it by 1 second. It's easiest to split tap, i.e. find the > symbol to 
the right of the start time, hold a finger on it and tap with a second finger, 
you can tap pretty much as fast as you like as long as you don't move the 
finger on the > symbol. 

   

  The app also fades the song at the end and you can set that, I haven't played 
around it it, though. Then at the bottom you have a "Play" and "Save" button. 
Once you adjusted the time the way you want you an play the ringtone and it 
will play the part of the song you selected. If you like it the way it is you 
can double tap on Save, if not adjust start and end time until you are 
satisfied. After you save it, double tap OK, then go back at the top left of 
the screen and go to "Manage Ringtones". Here you can rename the ringtone or 
email it to you in order to copy it into youriTunes library. You can also use 
iTunes File Sharing to grab the ringtones from your phone and copy them into 
the ringtones folder.

   

  Only thing that so far I found is not accessible is the file name of your 
ringtone. Voiceover doesn't read anything, but if you create one at a time and 
email it to you, then delete it it's not a problem and if I have time I'll 
write to the developer and ask if he could take a look at making that 
accessible. I am sure it won't hurt if others do so as well, but overall this 
seems to be accessible and easy to use.

   

  I also downloaded Ringtone Wizard Pro which was free on the App of the Day 
promo a few weeks ago. It basically works the same way, but the interface seems 
a bit more cluttered.

   

  Oh, and Ringtone Architect is by a developer called "Mix1009" and it retains 
whatever quality the original song was for the ringtone.

   

  Regards,

  Sieghard

Following on this thread, I'm about to receive my iPad mini for Christmas! I 
have a final choice as to which Model want. I am still torn between having 
one with  cellular data data connection or without. I wonder if those of you 
who have iPads have any comments about this whether you have missed it 
because you haven't had it will because you are glad you have bought a 
cheaper model without it. In addition, it would help me to understand 
whether or not, should I decide to buy the  more expensive model to include 
cellular data, whether I have to have a card installed from my carrier 
before I can actually use the iPad I ask this because I couldn't finish the 
iPhone setup without first having a card installed. I don't want to run into 
the same problem.

Any help you can give will be most appreciated. Thanks!

Re: iPad Hater

[Rob Harris]

Folks have carried netbooks and laptops on trains for years;  why not a 
tablet. A smaller one would  be more convenient I reckon, the Mini would be 
a cheaper compromise, though still doesn't resolve network accessibility 
unless he/one subscribes to one of the wifi services.  BT over here (UK) 
offer this for non-cellular devices.

Re: iPad Hater

You can sync dropbox into Phone drive, then it is accessible on the device. 
I think it tries to sync the other way too, but I had way too much stuff to 
upload.
Worth a look, it's cheap enough.

Give me a little credit bro. I knew the obvious differences between the iPad

processor, etc. I guess I was a little optimistic. I think I would be better 
served by going for the iPhone 5, but I would only feel good about that if 
the upgrade is significantly better than my iPhone 4S. Then I start thinking 
I could just wait until next year to get the 5S or whatever they're calling

 Hello,

 So I'm not really an iPad hater. Still, made you think, didn't it?

 Anyway, I got an iPad 4th gen as a surprise. Honestly, I don't get it.
 It's the oversized iPhone I feared. The single best feature I can
 point to is the four-finger swipe to switch between apps. Otherwise,
 without 3G access, I can't access Dropbox outside of wireless range.
 Only one of my text editors will give me some access to the Dropbox
 file structure, but overall this doesn't work as the commuter tool I
 was hoping for.

 Where am I going wrong? Are there apps that let you read Dropbox files
 outside of wireless range, or is 3G really needed to make this a
 viable commuter device? I'm thinking I'd be better off upgrading to
 the iPhone 5 for the faster processor and 4G connections, but before
 selling off this unit, I want to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake.
 Right now it just feels like one big ass screen that feels more
 awkward than useful. Even the greater web page range is not enough to
 make me admire the extra screen real estate.

 Thanks in advance for your thoughts,

 Joe

Watching a vid on Facebook on the iPad 3

[Shane Clark]

Hi,
I clicked on a persons status on Facebook and there video started playing. How 
do I get it to stop? I tried pressing the back button which took me back but 
didn't stop the video playback. I'm using an iPad 3 with 6.01.
Thanks.
