Try turning Quicknav off before entering text. When done turn Quicknav back on

Re: Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s

[Jan Kleinhans]

Thank you.  Problem is really that the recording won't really happen, the tone 
starts, while holding, and then the phone jumps into the edit field for you to 
type, and then you can indeed see the send button and so on.

   Depending on your Internet connection, the recording can take a few seconds 
to process then you will find the send button if you swipe to the left. Take a 
look at the settings under iMessage is you can configure  some of the settings 
for all your messages there.

Re: Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s

Hi

I'll try that, and yes, a restart has been done.  Does it mean that you press 
and hold the button, then quickly raise it to your ear to record and then take 
it away?  The time space for doing so is extremely short.  Thanks for the 
suggestion, will try that.

  This should work on a 4S. Have you shut down your phone and restarted it 
since the update? If not give that a try. If not you can try to just raise the 
phone to your ear as a work-around. On my 5S once I do this I hear the beep and 
I can just speak and record my message, once I take the phone away from my ear 
it stops.

  Oops, almost forgot, I can’t remember if “Raise to speak” is turned on by 
default, it is something you can turn on or off. Just go to Settings and 
Messages, it’s right towards the very bottom.

RE: downcast or overcast

[Cristóbal]

Overcast is ok, but still needs a way to go. It’s a more simple layout. 
Voiceover at least with my iPhone 5 is not as snappy though it can be 
considered a fully accessible app. Downcast for me, just offers a lot more 
options.

The one plus that Overcast does have over Downcast in my opinion is that it can 
play files at the 3x speed. While Downcast has this option, it hasn’t’ worked 
for quite a few updates now. Playback begins to skip at this level in Downcast 
making it unusable. I’ve written the dev about it and even though he says it’s 
on his list of bugs to fix, it’s never been addressed in any of the numerous 
updates since the skipping first started. Doubt it will be fixed at this point.

Re: Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s

 Depending on your Internet connection, the recording can take a few seconds to 
process then you will find the send button if you swipe to the left. Take a 
look at the settings under iMessage is you can configure  some of the settings 
for all your messages there.

double tapping and holding during downcast and things

[Eden Kizer]

Ok, I know you can double tap and hold for things like moving aps using 
a bluetooth keyboard, but can you use it to use the fast forward and 
such in downcast?  Like I said, I am only aware of the VO M command for 
double tappng and holding.  I know others who use this gesture on other 
aps such as slingplayer so just wondeirng how this is accomplished.

RE: Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s

[Sieghard Weitzel]

This should work on a 4S. Have you shut down your phone and restarted it since 
the update? If not give that a try. If not you can try to just raise the phone 
to your ear as a work-around. On my 5S once I do this I hear the beep and I can 
just speak and record my message, once I take the phone away from my ear it 
stops.

Oops, almost forgot, I can’t remember if “Raise to speak” is turned on by 
default, it is something you can turn on or off. Just go to Settings and 
Messages, it’s right towards the very bottom.

Hi

 

I have now, on Friday, upgraded my 4S to Ios 8.1.1, and for the greater part it 
is not doing too bad.  I have however tried sending an audio message to a 
person which has I-messaging enabled on his Iphone.  It does not seem to work

Re: What do I do with a zipped book that I downloaded on my iPhone can I open it in voice dream do I have to get something to unzip it with first

[Richard Turner]

Could you provide a little more information?
What format is the book in? I know it is currently in a zip file, but do you 
know what format the actual book files are in?
If it is audio, that can take a long time to extract so you may have not waited 
long enough.
Or, it could be in a format that VoiceDream cannot read.

Subject: RE: Unable to Read Account info in iTunes 12 with JAWS 16

 

Hi Judy,

 

I just had a look and it seems to work for me and I also use Jaws 16. Here is 
what I do:

 

1.   Check the iTunes Store radio button on the main iTunes screen.

2.   Activate the “Store Account” button and arrow down through the list 
which comes up, you will have the following options:

Wishlist

Purchased

Redeem

Account Info

 

On account Info press enter and enter your password, the Store Account button 
in my case now says “Sieghard” and it takes maybe 10 or so seconds for the 
iTunes page with my account info to load. I guess this could be faster or 
slower depending on the speed of your internet connection.

 

Use tab or F6 to go to the actual web page and you should now see the following:

 

iTunes Store

Secure Connection

Account Information – that is a heading level 1

Apple Id Summary – that is a heading level 2

 

It now goes on to show my my Apple Id email with a button underneath  which 
Jaws reads as “edit at appleid.apple.com”.

Basically this will open the same web page as when you go to to 
http://AppleID.apple.com

 

Next I see a heading called “Payment Information”.

If I arrow down I see “MasterCard   5919” so basically I see that I 
have a Mastercard on file ending in 5919.

Arrow down again and you have “edit” which if you activate it will allow you to 
edit the card information.

It then goes on to billing information with an edit option, then 
Country/Region, Computer Authorizations and so on.

 

When I selected to edit my billing information I was able to press enter on the 
credit card number or use Alt+/Down Arrow on the combo boxes for the expiry 
date and enter information or make selections.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

 Siri is certainly been inconsistent for me since updating to 8.1.1 also on 
 an iPhone 5S.
 However, I just tried it with Safari and after a couple failed attempts, 
 it worked like it should.
 I think you might still want to report it to Apple.
 by the way, I've dictated this entire message.
 I am finding that  dictation seems to be working better.

 The f

about new apps

[Eden Kizer]

Ok, I know there are tons of apps out there, but a lot of time I find 
cool ones just by hearing what others have tried.  I may even want to 
try to find things to review for Applevis.  Does someone know of general 
podcasts not necessarily for the blind that have different types of apps 
reviewed that one might want to try or some good twitter feed or email 
list, thanks.

RE: Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 - the complete guide

[Neal Ewers]

Sieghard. No, I was dumber than that. I, thinking that I only wanted to move 
one ring tone unchecked the ones that were checked. So, opperator error of the 
first order.

Hi neal,

 

I am surprised that has happened because if you previously synced tones with 
the same iTunes library the ones which were synced before should have been 
checked. If I go to my list of tones and arrow through them a bunch of them are 
checked and others which I currently don’t have on my device are not. This is

Sieghard. Very nicely done. What I am about to say is not a correction to 
anything you have said, but I want to clarify one point which I got tripped up 
on yesterday.

 

You say,

“Connect your phone, make sure Sync All Tones is selected or if you sync 
selected tones, make sure your new ringtone is checked, then sync your phone.”

 

I offer my yesterday’s experience to make a point.

I had one ring tone to add to the list of tones that were already on my phone. 
So, I checked selected ring tones. Since I was only moving one tone, that was 
the only tone I checked. Now, I should have realized what would happen., and it 
certainly did. When I synced my phone, the ring tone I checked was the only one 
left on the phone. It took all the others off. So, when people do this, they 
need to remember to check all the tones they want to be synced.

 

Again, Thanks for this write up. You should put it up on AppleVis and in other 
places where people can learn from it.

Subject: Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 - the complete guide

 

Hello Listers,

 

As promised, here is as complete a guide as I could come up with describing how 
you can make ringtones from your songs using iTunes 12. This has headings, both 
level 1 and 2 which you can use if you want to get back to a particular 
section. After explaining the process and after the “Clean up” heading is 
another heading called “More details about adding to library and syncing” and 
it goes into more details about how to correctly rename the file extension and 
how to sync your tones to your phone.

I did it this way because for more advanced users some of my descriptions may 
already contain more details than necessary, but for people who are new to 
technology or less experienced with Windows commands it is hopefully useful.

I also realize that you can add ringtones to your library by copying them into 
the “Automatically Add to Library” folder. If you prefer to do this than that’s 
fine, I personally prefer to put stuff into the folder where it belongs and add 
it to the library either by simply playing it or by using the “Add /File to 
Library” or “Add Folder to Library” option in the iTunes File menu.

I wanted to provide a tutorial on how to make ringtones from songs since 
several people asked for it and I did the same for iTunes 11. I don’t want to 
start a debate on how to do it better by using a different program to create 
the ringtone, if anybody feels they know of a better way than all I can say is 
go ahead and create your own tutorial and this way people can choose which 
method they want to use.

 

Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12

Note: These instructions are based on doing this on a Windows 7 laptop with 
Jaws 16. Most of this should work fine with other screenreaders except of 
course for Jaws specific commands like “route Jaws cursor to PC cursor” and 
“left mouse click with Jaws”. You would simply have to know or find out which 
are equivalent commands in Window Eyes, NVDA or whatever other screenreader you 
might use.

 


Basic steps


 

1. Find the song you want

2. Press Control+I for "Get Info", tab to the options button, tab to start and 
end time and set end time to no more than 40 seconds.

3. Right click on your song and select "Create AAC Version"

4. Press Control+C on the newly created 40 second version of the song to copy 
it to the clipboard, open your iTunes Media\Tones folder and use Control+V to 
paste the song into the folder.

5. Go to the Tools menu of your Windows Explorer window, go to Folder Options

Re: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

Thanks Richard and all. Richard I have done all of those things, including 
turning dictation off as well as Siri, turning the phone off and back on again. 
 I have not used airPlay on this phone at all since doing a complete restore 
and starting from scratch. I will check on the audio ducking but it’s not in 
the rotor yet, so, I don’t know what it is set to but I will check it. :)  I 
appreciate all of the help. Oh, and if I am using headphones and try to use 
Siri, I get nothing, not even a tone of any kind to indicate Siri is listening.

Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s

[Jan Kleinhans]

Hi

I have now, on Friday, upgraded my 4S to Ios 8.1.1, and for the greater part it 
is not doing too bad.  I have however tried sending an audio message to a 
person which has I-messaging enabled on his Iphone.  It does not seem to work 
for me though.  The audio button is available, but double tapping and hold to 
record, just throws me out, an into the edit field, and a second or 2 of audio 
is recorded.  This happens whether the edit field is in edit mode or not.  Is 
this function meant to work on the 4S, seeing the button is available, or might 
this be a phone specific thing with my device?  Can others using the 4S with 
the latest Ios update indeed perform this action?

Thanks for any help in the regard.

I just had a look and it seems to work for me and I also use Jaws 16. Here is

1.   Check the iTunes Store radio button on the main iTunes screen.

2.   Activate the “Store Account” button and arrow down through the list

Account Info

 

On account Info press enter and enter your password, the Store Account button 
in my case now says “Sieghard” and it takes maybe 10 or so seconds for the 
iTunes page with my account info to load. I guess this could be faster or 
slower depending on the speed of your internet connection.

 

Use tab or F6 to go to the actual web page and you should now see the following:

 

iTunes Store

Secure Connection

Account Information – that is a heading level 1

Apple Id Summary – that is a heading level 2

 

It now goes on to show my my Apple Id email with a button underneath  which 
Jaws reads as “edit at appleid.apple.com”.

Basically this will open the same web page as when you go to to 
http://AppleID.apple.com

 

Next I see a heading called “Payment Information”.

If I arrow down I see “MasterCard   5919” so basically I see that I 
have a Mastercard on file ending in 5919.

Arrow down again and you have “edit” which if you activate it will allow you to 
edit the card information.

It then goes on to billing information with an edit option, then 
Country/Region, Computer Authorizations and so on.

 

When I selected to edit my billing information I was able to press enter on the 
credit card number or use Alt+/Down Arrow on the combo boxes for the expiry 
date and enter information or make selections.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

RE: Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 - the complete guide

[Neal Ewers]

Sieghard. Very nicely done. What I am about to say is not a correction to 
anything you have said, but I want to clarify one point which I got tripped up 
on yesterday.

 

You say,

“Connect your phone, make sure Sync All Tones is selected or if you sync 
selected tones, make sure your new ringtone is checked, then sync your phone.”

 

I offer my yesterday’s experience to make a point.

I had one ring tone to add to the list of tones that were already on my phone. 
So, I checked selected ring tones. Since I was only moving one tone, that was 
the only tone I checked. Now, I should have realized what would happen., and it 
certainly did. When I synced my phone, the ring tone I checked was the only one 
left on the phone. It took all the others off. So, when people do this, they 
need to remember to check all the tones they want to be synced.

 

Again, Thanks for this write up. You should put it up on AppleVis and in other 
places where people can learn from it.

Subject: Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 - the complete guide

 

Hello Listers,

 

As promised, here is as complete a guide as I could come up with describing how 
you can make ringtones from your songs using iTunes 12. This has headings, both 
level 1 and 2 which you can use if you want to get back to a particular 
section. After explaining the process and after the “Clean up” heading is 
another heading called “More details about adding to library and syncing” and 
it goes into more details about how to correctly rename the file extension and 
how to sync your tones to your phone.

I did it this way because for more advanced users some of my descriptions may 
already contain more details than necessary, but for people who are new to 
technology or less experienced with Windows commands it is hopefully useful.

I also realize that you can add ringtones to your library by copying them into 
the “Automatically Add to Library” folder. If you prefer to do this than that’s 
fine, I personally prefer to put stuff into the folder where it belongs and add 
it to the library either by simply playing it or by using the “Add /File to 
Library” or “Add Folder to Library” option in the iTunes File menu.

I wanted to provide a tutorial on how to make ringtones from songs since 
several people asked for it and I did the same for iTunes 11. I don’t want to 
start a debate on how to do it better by using a different program to create 
the ringtone, if anybody feels they know of a better way than all I can say is 
go ahead and create your own tutorial and this way people can choose which 
method they want to use.

 

Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12

Note: These instructions are based on doing this on a Windows 7 laptop with 
Jaws 16. Most of this should work fine with other screenreaders except of 
course for Jaws specific commands like “route Jaws cursor to PC cursor” and 
“left mouse click with Jaws”. You would simply have to know or find out which 
are equivalent commands in Window Eyes, NVDA or whatever other screenreader you 
might use.

 


Basic steps


 

1. Find the song you want

2. Press Control+I for "Get Info", tab to the options button, tab to start and 
end time and set end time to no more than 40 seconds.

3. Right click on your song and select "Create AAC Version"

4. Press Control+C on the newly created 40 second version of the song to copy 
it to the clipboard, open your iTunes Media\Tones folder and use Control+V to 
paste the song into the folder.

5. Go to the Tools menu of your Windows Explorer window, go to Folder Options 
and the View tab, make sure "Hide extensions for known file types"

is Off.

6. Rename the .M4A extension to M4R.

7. Press enter on the newly renamed file to play it in iTunes, this 
automatically adds it to your Tones library.

8. Connect your phone, make sure Sync All Tones is selected or if you sync 
selected tones, make sure your new ringtone is checked, then sync your phone.

 


detailed instructions


 

1. Find the song you want to make into a ringtone in your Music library in 
iTunes.

 

2. Right click, use the application menu key or Shift+F10 and select "Get 
Info". You can also use The shortcut key which is Control+I.

 

3. Tab to the "Options" button (should be 8 tabs) and activate it by pressing 
the spacebar or enter.

Note that nothing obvious happens, but visually the "Options" content now is on 
the screen and you have to tab to it. Unfortunately the cursor seems to go back 
to the beginning of this entire screen, but instead of using tab about 15 
times, you can use F6 about six or seven times to get to where you enter the 
start and stop time for the ringtone.

once there is a

RE: [Bulk] RE: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Don,

I think I mentioned in my tutorial that a ringtone can't be longer than 40 
seconds. You can't just rename a 3 or 4 minute song with the m4r extension, it 
will not work that way.

I just posted a complete tutorial on how to make ringtones from songs using 
iTunes 12 and this includes making sure you create a version of the song which 
contains only a 40 second or less segment. You might want to check it out. I t 
may sound complicate on the first read, but if you follow the instructions and 
after you do it a few times it's really quite easy.


Regards,
Sieghard

Do I need to edit the length of the audio prior to using them as tones even

Do you have audio ducking turned off? Turning it off has interesting effects on 
several things. Also, do you use an Airplay device? If I use Airplay I have to 
restart my phone before SIRI works again otherwise it does exactly what you 
describe, SIRI beeps to listen and immediately beeps like when it stops. I 
rarely use Airplay right now because of this and hope Apple will fix this soon.

I often cannot engage Siri and my speech disappears very often. I’m trying to 
figure out if this is a bug or if this warrants a visit to the apple store. If 
I am in Safari and I press the home button to engage Siri, I get a tone and 
then a bong. I cannot use Siri unless I go back to the home screen. Often, I 
will completely lose speech after using Siri. I also have this same problem 
when using the messages app. I did a complete restore on my phone and set it up 
as a new phone. :( The problem is still persisting. I started from scratch just 
to make sure. I am on a iPhone 5S running the latest iOS version 8.1.1.

I am an avid Siri user and this has become a real frustration. I also sometimes 
cannot engage Siri at all via the home button when I am at the home screen and 
I have to do a phone restart. I have tried everything that I can think of.

Thanks,
Christina

4. The first item you get to will just say "Start read only", then if you
tab once there is a checkbox which is read as "0 checkbox not checked" and
if you tab again you will be on the actual field where you can type in a
start time and which by default is always read as "0 o'clock read only".

The only way to get into the edit field for start and stop time that works
for me is as follows:

1.   Route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor by pressing Jaws Key+NumPad
Minus.

2.   Do a left click with Jaws Key+NumPad Slash.

3.   Jaws will say "button edit" and you can now delete the 0 and type
in the start time you want.

It is not necessary to first check the start time checkbox, if you change
the value it will get checked automatically.

 

usually you start at the beginning of the song, i.e. 0:00, but if the song
starts very slow you may want to find a good spot a few seconds from the
beginning where you start the ringtone.

If you do change the start time, make sure you don't press enter after
typing in your time because this will take you all the way back to the
beginning and you have to tap about 16 times or press F6 a bunch of times to
get back to the stop time. Instead just press tab from the edit field to go
to "Stop".

 

5. Here again you first have the "Stop read only" label, than the "0

When I got to the slide to set up, double or split tapping on none of the 
foreign languages, nor on the information button,  got it talking in English 
when I updated my IPhone 5 from 7.1.2, to 8.1.1.  After a while, I was 
completely stuck, and was tabbing over in iTunes to restore it, when I 
inadvertently did a three-finger swipe left to right on the screen.  It then 
started talking in English.  Other than just trying various things, I don't 
know why I tried that three-finger swipe right., I don't guarantee anybody 
that it will work in the future.  I'll keep it in mind, though.

I backed up her phone, took everything out of the app switcher, and
rebooted
the phone.



The update went flawlessly until I got to the very end. I was sitting 
there

thinking how easy they had made this, when all of a sudden I heard the
following message.

Can no longer connect to this iPhone.

Yikes! What to do now. Well, I believe the phone was still booting because
soon after that, I heard the vibration and VoiceOver began speaking. My
wife
doesn't use VoiceOver, but I turn it on when I am working on her phone. 
So,

well done, I thought, that was just a minor glitch. The iPhone began to
speak. Problem is, it was speaking in Japanese, or some other similar
sounding language I couldn't understand. Double Yikes! What to do now? I
suppose I could go figure out how to get to language change on my phone 
and

do the same steps on her phone. Interestingly, the time, battery status,
WiFi status was all in English but the message I had to deal with was in
that other language. I was just about to put plan B into operation, when,
out of the blue, the phone began to speak in English.



So, all is well.



I bring this up in the hopes that it won't happen to someone else, but in
case it does, perhaps waiting for a while will work the same as it did for
me.



Perhaps I should learn Japanese?

Re: Sprint plans for iPhone

[Brent Harding]

I just recently got a 6 from them on the lease plan, and being thinner than 
the Moto X was, the 6 definitely fits in your pocket. Sprint's site isn't 
the world's easiest to navigate, ordering it was a bear, even with existing 
service, but I managed to get it done with Firefox. The one thing I found 
out, which caused me to cancel and re-order was that as of about a week ago, 
the gold is in stock to be shipped now, while the others are still on a two 
and up week wait, so I went with it because color isn't important to one who 
can't see it.

Thank you a lot! I’m gonna go with the iPhone 6 I think. I want a phone that 
can fit in my pocket. But if the iPhone 6 plus is a little shorter than the 
iPad mini then maybe, just maybe. I don’t like working with the Mini though, 
even in portrait. So probably the six.

can pay the typical prices up front for a two-year contract for any of

about the same over two years whether one did the lease, contract, or an

Hi all. I’m planning to get a new phone, an iPhone 6 or maybe even a 6 
plus. So, what kind of plans are there for Sprint? I tried looking at 
their website, but there were plenty of improperly labeled buttons and all 
that, and it was generally confusing. So, can anyone give me any help with 
that?

I do love using slacker Radio on my iPhone. I can’t speak for mac or PC. You 
can play music on demand, have slacker create a station based on an artist 
or song, or listen to stations created by Slacker. I actually really enjoy 
the stations they created. I have never tried xBOX but I may have to check 
it out. :) I do love the slacker radio stations, does xBox have their own 
stations or is it all based on your own playlists?

Ah,

 

This wasn't the method I used with some good and some failing results.

 

Is this where I was going wrong the other week, Tom?

 

I simply selected the tracks in Itunes, chose the Add to Playlist option from 
the context menu, and sometimes it seemed to work and other times it didn't.  
That seemed the likely method to use to me.

 

Was I in fact trying to copy a shortcut in ITunes and not the file itself?

Ok,

If you create a new playlist, and name it whatever you want.

 

Then,Go to the folder in Windows on your PC and control C to copy either the 
folder, or selected files that you want in that playlist.

Now in iTunes, Make sure that playlist is in view, and if you tab through, you 
should (in iTunes 12), hear add to playlist button, tab again and you should 
hear that the playlist has zero items, another tab should just say read only. 
This is where you want to paste. .

There should be something that says something like, click the add to playlist. 
If you get there you are one tab too far.

 

iTunes may be unresponsive for a while if there are a bunch of songs. If it is 
not unresponsive, it didn’t paste.

If it is, just be patient and your files will be in that playlist, and be added 
to the main iTunes library.

 

Hope this helped,

Thom

Re: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

[carol.pearso...@googlemail.com]

Is it the Audio Ducking (set to on) that causes me not to get clicks 
feedback when brailling using the app directly, or does this just not work 
when set to words!


You may already know the answer, which is why I pose the question now, but 
when next I'm beside my phone I'll try to turn Audio Ducking off and see 
what happens!

Do you have audio ducking turned off? Turning it off has interesting effects 
on several things. Also, do you use an Airplay device? If I use Airplay I 
have to restart my phone before SIRI works again otherwise it does exactly 
what you describe, SIRI beeps to listen and immediately beeps like when it 
stops. I rarely use Airplay right now because of this and hope Apple will 
fix this soon.

I often cannot engage Siri and my speech disappears very often. I’m trying

tone and then a bong. I cannot use Siri unless I go back to the home screen. 
Often, I will completely lose speech after using Siri. I also have this same 
problem when using the messages app. I did a complete restore on my phone

RE: [Bulk] RE: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

[Don Risavy, Jr.]

What is that as hadn't heard about it and yes think airplay is enabled on 
ITunes.
So any suggestions.
Also have you heard or seen tones being lost or removed after downloading them 
and installing from purchase from ITunes as just turned my phone back on a few 
minutes ago and the tones downloaded last night that  chose to be my 
default ring tone and text tone are now gone.
Do I need to edit the length of the audio prior to using them as tones even 
though renamed them to m4r?
Thanks and sorry for the head ache:).

Notifications question about things in "not include"

[Neal Ewers]

Hi, If I go to Settings, Notifications, I notice that government alerts is
in the section on do not include. I assume this means that I will still be
notified, but they will not show up in notifications if I happen to miss the
alert. If this is not true, how do I get them into my  include section?

 

Thanks much.

Hi Christina, yes, I absolutely am loving my 6 Plus. Best phone I've
ever owned. As Robyn has said, the battery life is enough of a reason
in itself. Being able to crank up GPS, music, and other apps when
you're away from a power source for a long time and not have to worry
about running out of juice is liberating.
If you are a Braille user, you may also like the fact that the larger
screen makes Braille screen input a breeze, and I think the larger
screen also helps for direct touch typing. Both of these options mean
I use my external Bluetooth keyboard hardly ever now.
KNFB Reader have said on Twitter that the 6 Plus is the best phone to
use with it right now because of optical image stabilisation. This is
particularly the case if you have issues keeping the camera totally
steady when taking a picture.
It's also very fast, but of course, so is the 6.
I wouldn't like to return to a smaller phone, and hope Apple keeps a
device in this screen size in future.
Definitely get your hands on one before buying if you can though. It's
not to everyone's taste.

Hello,

I have a 5S and am considering upgrading to 6 Plus. I was wondering
who is loving their 6 Plus and why. I am concerned about the size and
bending the iPhone 6 plus. I want the better camera though. Is the
better camera better for OCR, scanning bar codes, taking clearer
pictures for identification apps, and of course, maybe getting lucky
and getting a great shot of the kids? :) I am not very skilled
currently with scanning barcodes and such with the iPhone and like
the prospect of a better camera.  Is the camera really not much
better than the one provided on the iPhone 6? I like the size of the
6. I actually like the size of my 5S but I don’t have any experience
with a larger screen to compare to. :)  Also, what about all the news
about how easy it is to bend an iPhone 6 Plus? Did apple resolve this
or ignore it?

Thanks so much for any advice or opinions shared,

Re: Sprint plans for iPhone

[Brent Harding]

If you take the leasing option for $25 a month for the 64 gig iPhone 6 or, I 
think $5 a month lower for 16, and 5 more for 128, you can get an unlimited 
everything plan for $50 a month. I don't know quite why, but you can pay the 
typical prices up front for a two-year contract for any of them, and you 
don't get to have the plan for $50. I think it works out about the same over 
two years whether one did the lease, contract, or an installment plan, but 
the lease is slightly less expensive per month.

Re: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

[Richard Turner]

I just had a thought.
Try going into settings and turning off Siri.
Power off your phone and wait a minute, then power it back on and then go back 
into settings and turn Siri on again.
Once in a while, I've had a setting that wouldn't seem to hold until I did this.
Also, can you get Siri respond when using the button on the earphones?
The other thought is that there might be an issue with your home button.
Also, calling Apple then going to the store makes sense if all else continues 
to fail.
What a drag.

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?

[Donald L. Roberts]

I want to ask a related question.  Thus far, Pandora is the only 
streaming service which I have played with extensively.  I am wondering 
which of the streaming services has the greatest selection of older and 
vintage music?  I have always suspected that the perception is that only 
younger audiences would be interested in streaming music services, and I 
assure you, it ain't necessarily so.


Thanks for feedback.

I haven't tried Tidal. Spotify seems to be a good deal more accessible 
than Rhapsody, and has more of a selection of music. The only really 
tricky thing about Rhapsody is that you have to do a three-finger 
swipe to the previous page when you open the main menu. You can't do 
the common Voiceover swipe gesture for that.

Hello, everyone.

I am currently evaluating Spotify, TIDAL, and Rhapsody, three
streaming music services.  All of them work with VoiceOver more or
less, but it may be that none of them works perfectly.  TIDAL mentions
VoiceOver support in its product description on the Apple App Store.

I'm curious to learn which service you have found to be the most
VoiceOver-accessible.  Can you name VoiceOver-related problems that a
particular service has?  Please note that I am not interested in any
music service that does not allow for a specific track to be played on
demand.  Pandora is an example of a service that does not allow
on-demand playing of a track.

Thank you for all help.

Re: importing music into an itunes play list

[carol.pearso...@googlemail.com]

Ah,

This wasn't the method I used with some good and some failing results.

Is this where I was going wrong the other week, Tom?

I simply selected the tracks in Itunes, chose the Add to Playlist option from 
the context menu, and sometimes it seemed to work and other times it didn't.  
That seemed the likely method to use to me.

Was I in fact trying to copy a shortcut in ITunes and not the file itself?

  Ok,

  If you create a new playlist, and name it whatever you want.

   

  Then,Go to the folder in Windows on your PC and control C to copy either the 
folder, or selected files that you want in that playlist.

  Now in iTunes, Make sure that playlist is in view, and if you tab through, 
you should (in iTunes 12), hear add to playlist button, tab again and you 
should hear that the playlist has zero items, another tab should just say read 
only. This is where you want to paste. .

  There should be something that says something like, click the add to 
playlist. If you get there you are one tab too far.

   

  iTunes may be unresponsive for a while if there are a bunch of songs. If it 
is not unresponsive, it didn’t paste.

  If it is, just be patient and your files will be in that playlist, and be 
added to the main iTunes library.

   

  Hope this helped,

  Thom

  Hi tom.  The music is in other folders outside of itunes and I would like to

itunes and is very hard to find again.

  Larry,

  If you have mp3 files on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes 
library and playlist.

   

  I’m not usre if your music is in a different place or format.

   

  Let me know.

Re: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

[Gary Petraccaro]

Suggest either Apple Access and I believe the number is 877-204-3930
If they can't help, go to the Apple Store.
This sounds like what I was going through.  After I exchanged my phone for 
another same model phone, the problems diminished.  There's the occasional 
glitch, but nowhere near what I was going through before.

Hope this helps.

I often cannot engage Siri and my speech disappears very often. I’m trying

tone and then a bong. I cannot use Siri unless I go back to the home screen. 
Often, I will completely lose speech after using Siri. I also have this same

I am an avid Siri user and this has become a real frustration. I also

I can’t even get a few syllables in. I get the usual Siri is listening tone 
immediately followed by a tone that denotes that Siri is not listening. :(

Re: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

[Christina C.]

No matter how many times I try in Safari it just won’t work. Siri won’t 
respond/listen. I will even lose peach. :( I have to somehow get back to the 
home screen and cross my fingers that Siri will decide to work and then ask 
Siri to turn voiceOver off and then on again because the triple click home does 
not work at all when i lose my speech. :(

Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?

I often cannot engage Siri and my speech disappears very often. I’m trying to

then a bong. I cannot use Siri unless I go back to the home screen. Often, I 
will completely lose speech after using Siri. I also have this same problem

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?

[Christina C.]

I do love using slacker Radio on my iPhone. I can’t speak for mac or PC. You 
can play music on demand, have slacker create a station based on an artist or 
song, or listen to stations created by Slacker. I actually really enjoy the 
stations they created. I have never tried xBOX but I may have to check it out. 
:) I do love the slacker radio stations, does xBox have their own stations or 
is it all based on your own playlists?

RE: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?

[Rick Alfaro]

Hi Jonathan.

 

My 6 plus has finally been shipped so quite anxious to get my hands on it. Do 
you use desktop or away mode when using Braille screen input? It would seem 
like the size would be perfect for desktop mode but I know some folks prefer 
away mode.

 

 

 

Best regards,

 

Rick Alfaro

Hi Christina, yes, I absolutely am loving my 6 Plus. Best phone I've ever 
owned. As Robyn has said, the battery life is enough of a reason in itself. 
Being able to crank up GPS, music, and other apps when you're away from a power 
source for a long time and not have to worry about running out of juice is 
liberating.

If you are a Braille user, you may also like the fact that the larger screen 
makes Braille screen input a breeze, and I think the larger screen also helps 
for direct touch typing. Both of these options mean I use my external Bluetooth 
keyboard hardly ever now.

KNFB Reader have said on Twitter that the 6 Plus is the best phone to use with 
it right now because of optical image stabilisation. This is particularly the 
case if you have issues keeping the camera totally steady when taking a picture.

It's also very fast, but of course, so is the 6.

I wouldn't like to return to a smaller phone, and hope Apple keeps a device in 
this screen size in future.

Definitely get your hands on one before buying if you can though. It's not to 
everyone's taste.

Hello,

I have a 5S and am considering upgrading to 6 Plus. I was wondering who is 
loving their 6 Plus and why. I am concerned about the size and bending the 
iPhone 6 plus. I want the better camera though. Is the better camera better for 
OCR, scanning bar codes, taking clearer pictures for identification apps, and 
of course, maybe getting lucky and getting a great shot of the kids? :) I am 
not very skilled currently with scanning barcodes and such with the iPhone and 
like the prospect of a better camera.  Is the camera really not much better 
than the one provided on the iPhone 6? I like the size of the 6. I actually 
like the size of my 5S but I don’t have any experience with a larger screen to 
compare to. :)  Also, what about all the news about how easy it is to bend an 
iPhone 6 Plus? Did apple resolve this or ignore it?

Thanks so much for any advice or opinions shared,

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?

Sure. You can do the Braille command dots 2-4-6-space and that will take you to 
the search field and other places in the Rhapsody menu. You can also use 
option-left- or right-arrow on the bluetooth keyboard.

Re: I want to select, copy and paste a facebook status of a friend in to my own status but don't know how

[Feliciano G]

Place the focus on the status, then do a three finger quadruple tap.  This will 
copy what voice over read onto the clipboard. Then you can go ahead and paste 
that information onto your status.

Have you tried sharing your friend's status? Otherwise, in order to select and 
copy, it's easiest to do the Voiceover copy gesture, which is a 
three-finger-quadruple-tap once you've focused on the status. You may have to 
delete a word or two that Voiceover puts in, like "selected", etc. Or you can 
turn your rotor to lines and then slowly spread your fingers apart to select 
text, then turn the rotor to edit and copy it, then paste it in your status.

RE: Very scary moment when updating to 8.1.1

[Neal Ewers]

Hi, Thanks. I have never had this happen. I guess I've been lucky. I never had 
that happen when I updated my phone from 7.1 to 8.1.1. I also didn't get the 
cannot connect to this iPhone message either. But, it's good to know that this 
is somewhat normal. Thanks for the hint about touching the screen in the other 
language. I am guessing that's what I did

Hi,

I've had the different language problem for as long as I can remember but I 
have no idea why it happens. FYI, double tapping on anything that is spoken in 
a different language results in VO talking in English again.

Cheers,
Ben.

Re: iphone 4 and ios 8.1.1

Sorry but the 4 is not eligible for iOS 8 and later. iOS 7.1.2 plus any

retired phone.

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?

[RobH.]

I checked this xbox music,  it does say you can take your xbox pass code to 
it, indeed, on the download page, it states it has to be used with an xbox 
music pass code or words to that effect.

Someone might want to explain that, but it makes this app less straight 
forward than before.

RE: Very scary moment when updating to 8.1.1

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Neal,

 

I got the same message when I upgraded an iPod Touch, but not when I upgraded 
my iPhone. Regardless the iPod Touch rebooted and came up fine.

That message in another language is actually normal. Did you upgrade your 
wife’s 5C from iOS 7 to 8? Normally the “Slide to Setup” message only shows up 
with a major update, when I updated my iPhone 5S from 8.1 to 8.1.1 I received 
no message after the update, it just rebooted to the unlock screen, I entered 
my passcode and that was that. If you do a major update that “Slide to Unlock” 
message is displayed/read in all sorts of languages and if you keep touching 
the screen you’ll eventually get it in English.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Subject: Very scary moment when updating to 8.1.1

 

Well, I think I have had my scare for today. I was updating my wife’s iPhone 5C 
to 8.1.1. I updated my phone not long ago.

 

I backed up her phone, took everything out of the app switcher, and rebooted 
the phone.

 

The update went flawlessly until I got to the very end. I was sitting there 
thinking how easy they had made this, when all of a sudden I heard the 
following message.

Can no longer connect to this iPhone.

Yikes! What to do now. Well, I believe the phone was still booting because soon 
after that, I heard the vibration and VoiceOver began speaking. My wife doesn’t 
use VoiceOver, but I turn it on when I am working on her phone. So, well done, 
I thought, that was just a minor glitch. The iPhone began to speak. Problem is, 
it was speaking in Japanese, or some other similar sounding language I couldn’t 
understand. Double Yikes! What to do now? I suppose I could go figure out how 
to get to language change on my phone and do the same steps on her phone. 
Interestingly, the time, battery status, WiFi status was all in English but the 
message I had to deal with was in that other language. I was just about to put 
plan B into operation, when, out of the blue, the phone began to speak in 
English.

 

So, all is well.

 

I bring this up in the hopes that it won’t happen to someone else, but in case 
it does, perhaps waiting for a while will work the same as it did for me.

 

Perhaps I should learn Japanese?

Very scary moment when updating to 8.1.1

[Neal Ewers]

Well, I think I have had my scare for today. I was updating my wife's iPhone
5C to 8.1.1. I updated my phone not long ago.

 

I backed up her phone, took everything out of the app switcher, and rebooted
the phone.

 

The update went flawlessly until I got to the very end. I was sitting there
thinking how easy they had made this, when all of a sudden I heard the
following message.

Can no longer connect to this iPhone.

Yikes! What to do now. Well, I believe the phone was still booting because
soon after that, I heard the vibration and VoiceOver began speaking. My wife
doesn't use VoiceOver, but I turn it on when I am working on her phone. So,
well done, I thought, that was just a minor glitch. The iPhone began to
speak. Problem is, it was speaking in Japanese, or some other similar
sounding language I couldn't understand. Double Yikes! What to do now? I
suppose I could go figure out how to get to language change on my phone and
do the same steps on her phone. Interestingly, the time, battery status,
WiFi status was all in English but the message I had to deal with was in
that other language. I was just about to put plan B into operation, when,
out of the blue, the phone began to speak in English.

 

So, all is well.

 

I bring this up in the hopes that it won't happen to someone else, but in
case it does, perhaps waiting for a while will work the same as it did for
me.

 

Perhaps I should learn Japanese?

 

Neal

OK.  I admit I am stumped.

I have an album that imported from a CD with the wrong title.

I have not figured out how to edit that.

I get into the album and bring up the context menu and select get info.  I say

I’ve tried clicking on details, but the title of the album is a static box that

Anyone know how to do this?

RE: Purchasing KNFB Reader app with a gift card

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Wayne,

Why not ask whoever might buy a Visa prepaid card to buy you iTunes gift cards 
instead?
Anyhow, if you do get any of the Visa cards, instead of going through all the 
trouble to try if they work, why not just walk into one of dozens of grocery 
stores, drug stores, convenience stores, electronics stores and so on where you 
can use your Visa card to buy an iTunes gift card and then redeem the gift card 
and use the account credit to buy KNFB Reader. That way if you get more than 
$100 in total with Visa cards you can just have credit on your account which 
you can use towards future purchases. iTunes credit will not expire and there 
is always a new app or maybe a song or album one might want to get.


Regards,
Sieghard

Skype chat commands, was: Perplexing skype problem

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello David,

I wonder if your issue has to do with the fact that if you use Skype on an 
iPhone you will always show as signed in unless you actually go into the 
Settings and sign out of your account which of course means everytime you open 
the app you have to sign in with your Skype Id and Password. The reason why 
this is so has to do with the ability of Skype to deliver push notifications to 
your iPhone if somebody sends you a chat. If you want to receive instant 
notifications if somebody sends you a text chat, you can close the app and even 
remove it from the app switcher, but that won't actually sign you out and any 
chats somebody sends will be pushed to your phone. So, keep in mind that if you 
use the /RemoteLogout command these push notifications will stop until you use 
the Skype app again, but maybe it will help to clear up your status issue, 
worth a try anyways.

Having said all this, there is a way to see where you are signed in and, what's 
more, to completely sign you out on all devices by using so-called chat 
commands in Skype. These are always proceeded by a "/" (forward slash). 
Basically you start a chat (doesn't matter to which contact since they never 
see any of what you type as long as it is a valid chat command) and you type in 
these commands to get the information or perform certain functions.
I suggest you do this from your PC/laptop and start off with the /ShowPlaces 
and /RemoteLogout commands to see where you are signed in and to sign out of 
everything so you can start fresh. I am giving examples of this below, but 
first some links to articles which give more details what you can do with chat 
commands especially if you use group chats.

Get Help on Skype Chat Commands
http://www.skype.com/go/help.chathelp

What are chat commands and roles
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10042/what-are-chat-commands-and-roles?intcmp=blogs-_-generic-click-_-managing-your-group-chats-like-a-boss

Managing your group chats like a boss
http://blogs.skype.com/2013/03/08/managing-your-group-chats-like-a-boss

Here is an explanation of the two commands I recommend you try:

/RemoteLogout: Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will 
also stop push notifications on all other instances. 
/ShowPlaces: Shows all instances/devices you are logged in on, they are 
referred to as "end points"

You can also type /help and it Gives you a list of available commands you can 
use in the chat you are in. If it's just a chat with one person there are not 
too many options, if it is a group chat /help will show more commands.

Example:
I opened a new chat with one of my contacts and used show places and it told me 
I was signed in on my laptop which is called Q7, my iPhone 5S and iPod Touch: 

/ShowPlaces
System:
You have 3 online endpoints:
{d69ab989-e628-1d39-e6fb-45d7bd8fee43}) Q7 Windows Skype
{0582f6ff-be98-0fc9-be98-42c642c6be98}) Sieghards-iPhone-5S iOS Skype
{376b870b-be98-15ff-be98-42c642c6be98}) sieghards-iPod iOS Skype
Sent on Sunday, November 23, 2014 10:57:31 AM

Example:
I now typed the /RemoteLogout command. It is not shown in the chat history and 
nothing obvious happens, but if you did the /ShowPlaces command first and saw 
that you were signed in on multiple devices/end points, you can now see the 
effect of /RemoteLogout by typing /ShowPlaces again, here is what it looks like 
for me, Before it showed me 3 end points, after the RemoteLogout command it 
only shows 1 end point which is the laptop I used since it won't sign you out 
of whatever device you are using when you type the commands:

/ShowPlaces 
System:
You have 1 online endpoints:
{d69ab989-e628-1d39-e6fb-45d7bd8fee43}) Q7 Windows Skype

Ok, so now you've got me curious, I have Verizon this phone I think will 
only work Verizon, but it works the prepaid verizon too.  I pay $49 a 
month for unlimited text and dtalk, but the data is terrible 500 megs 
and $10 each extra meg, can someone tell me is there a better plan, and 
maybe since I can use with no contract phone, does that mean it'd work 
with another carrier?  I believe the problem is Verizon is TDMA, and 
aren't most others GSM?

Dear Susan,

As my article mentions, the first step in joining the iPhone tribe is
in learning about the coverage and reliability of the wireless service
in your area, the area to which you are moving, and the places where
you visit frequently. A family member’s relationship with AT&T may be
a perfect fit for them.  It may not be for you, particularly if you
live or travel to places the other person does not. Once you have
figured out if all, some or none of the four national wireless
networks have consistent and reliable coverage, it is then time to
focus on prices. T-Mobile has low-priced plans, although these are not
advertised and not available in stores. The deals come for the other
three carriers when resellers buy data and airtime in bulk at a deep
discount and resell it at very low prices.  A just released survey by
Consumer Reports found high dissatisfaction with the major national
carriers but high customer satisfaction levels from the resellers. You
can enjoy nearly all the benefits from the sprint, AT&T or Verizon
networks at one-half to one third of the cost of what most of those
customers pay. True, the resellers do not offer the roaming the big
boys offer, but unless you plan to go to sparsely populated areas
regularly, like the upper peninsula of Michigan or northern Nevada, it
is not an issue for most people.

The 5S will cost less, but it is important to realize that iPhones
essentially have an expiration date.  This is because the iOS software
and apps will no longer be useful long before the solidly built and
well-manufacture iPhone breaks and cannot be repaired. If the iPhone
is kept in a hard shell case and away from water, the hardware will
last for many years. Apple stops supporting iPhones after about four
years from first release.  If Apple maintains past practices, the 5S
will receive its last major iOS in 2017 and will not take new updates
starting in fall 2018.  You will pay more for the iPhone 6, but you
will have a year longer of use along with a better camera for OCR on
the fly and Apple Pay, which could be a much bigger thing in the
future.

Thanks very much for the advice.  I'll have to check out the article, smile.

Besides being somewhat scared off by the technology until last year--I've
taught myself JAWS and OpenBook but we all know that's a far cry from
dealing with touch screens-- I am on a limited income and have been
concerned about monthly expenses. Ironically, my husband and I both have
non-contract  Jitterbug phones  and the month to month costs of the Iphone
are not much more than what I currently pay, and since I'm totally blind the

Jitterbug's so-called accessibility has been laughable to me. Anyway,
between the timing and the pricepoint I think I'm ready for a 5S.

Dear Susan,

Under the AT&T terms of service document, which is available online in
fully accessible format, only one statement is generated for a family
plan account. Family members not the phone company are responsible for
divvying up the bill and paying the primary account holder what they
owe. Each line has a two-year contract. If you are moving in a year,
you should be certain of the AT&T coverage for your new area as it
might be expensive to back out of a contract. Different parts of the
country usually have great service from one or two carriers but not
another. It would not surprise me to learn that you may be moving from
an area with good AT&T coverage to an area with poor coverage.
Inconsistent service quality from local area to local area is common
with the national carriers.

If you have WIFI at home, download the app updates, NLS books, and

data.

If you are looking for inexpensive plans, consider the $30 T-Mobile
plan for unlimited data and text and 100 voice minutes. Free calling
apps like Vonage and Magic Jack can bridge the difference for most
people. Ting, which uses the Sprint network, also offers a $30 plan.

I wrote the article ‘iPhone on the Cheap” on AppleVis. The most

Subject: [Bulk] Editing album titles in iTunes 12 on Windows 8.1.1

 

OK.  I admit I am stumped.

I have an album that imported from a CD with the wrong title.

I have not figured out how to edit that.

I get into the album and bring up the context menu and select get info.  I say 
yes to editing multiple items.

I’ve tried clicking on details, but the title of the album is a static box that 
doesn’t allow editing.

Anyone know how to do this?

 

Thanks,


Richard

Hello, everyone.

I am currently evaluating Spotify, TIDAL, and Rhapsody, three
streaming music services.  All of them work with VoiceOver more or
less, but it may be that none of them works perfectly.  TIDAL mentions
VoiceOver support in its product description on the Apple App Store.

I'm curious to learn which service you have found to be the most
VoiceOver-accessible.  Can you name VoiceOver-related problems that a
particular service has?  Please note that I am not interested in any
music service that does not allow for a specific track to be played on
demand.  Pandora is an example of a service that does not allow
on-demand playing of a track.

Thank you for all help.

Purchasing KNFB Reader app with a gift card

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings all. I am hoping to purchase the KNFB Reader app this
Christmas. If I get one of those generic Visa gift cards, can I pay
for the app using the gift card? I know people can send me virtual
gift cards through the App Store, but for those in my family who may
not used the i-things as much, is his possible? I looked in the App
Store in the payment area for my account, and saw that cards must be
from a bank, which is why I ask.

Thanks as always,
Wayne

Re: World War

[Brandon A. Olivares]

The basic premise is that you are the general of an army in a country of your 
choosing. You have to deploy your units (infantry, ground, water, air), which 
costs money. You obtain money by completing missions, and winning battles 
against other players. Battles are very simple as far as I can tell: if your 
forces are more powerful than theirs, you win. As you add alliances, you can 
deploy more and more units to use in your battles.

That’s the basics. You can also buy buildings, which give you more defense, or 
an income flow, where you can get so much money per hour for owning the 
building. That helps with being able to pay your units.

Let me know if you have more questions. If anything you might need help getting 
past the first screen. But I just turned off voiceover, and tapped around the 
bottom center.

entering pass code with the native Braille app

[Paul and Paula Jordan]

Hi, all.  I came across an interesting little thing.  I'm not yet having
much luck with the finger print identifier, so I very often have to enter my
pass code to unlock my phone.  If I enter it on the on-screen keyboard the
numbers are announced.  If I, however, use the on-screen Braille mode, I
just hear the clicks with no number announcement.  Very nice if I'm on a bus
or out in public somewhere and need to unlock my phone.  Hopefully, I'll be
able to get the finger print identifier to work more reliably eventually and
won't need the pass code, but for now, it's a nice little feature.

God bless!

Re: seeking advice on purchase of first iphone

[Kelly Pierce]

Dear Susan,

As my article mentions, the first step in joining the iPhone tribe is
in learning about the coverage and reliability of the wireless service
in your area, the area to which you are moving, and the places where
you visit frequently. A family member’s relationship with AT&T may be
a perfect fit for them.  It may not be for you, particularly if you
live or travel to places the other person does not. Once you have
figured out if all, some or none of the four national wireless
networks have consistent and reliable coverage, it is then time to
focus on prices. T-Mobile has low-priced plans, although these are not
advertised and not available in stores. The deals come for the other
three carriers when resellers buy data and airtime in bulk at a deep
discount and resell it at very low prices.  A just released survey by
Consumer Reports found high dissatisfaction with the major national
carriers but high customer satisfaction levels from the resellers. You
can enjoy nearly all the benefits from the sprint, AT&T or Verizon
networks at one-half to one third of the cost of what most of those
customers pay. True, the resellers do not offer the roaming the big
boys offer, but unless you plan to go to sparsely populated areas
regularly, like the upper peninsula of Michigan or northern Nevada, it
is not an issue for most people.

The 5S will cost less, but it is important to realize that iPhones
essentially have an expiration date.  This is because the iOS software
and apps will no longer be useful long before the solidly built and
well-manufacture iPhone breaks and cannot be repaired. If the iPhone
is kept in a hard shell case and away from water, the hardware will
last for many years. Apple stops supporting iPhones after about four
years from first release.  If Apple maintains past practices, the 5S
will receive its last major iOS in 2017 and will not take new updates
starting in fall 2018.  You will pay more for the iPhone 6, but you
will have a year longer of use along with a better camera for OCR on
the fly and Apple Pay, which could be a much bigger thing in the
future.

Re: I want to select, copy and paste a facebook status of a friend in to my own status but don't know how

[Teresa Cochran]

Have you tried sharing your friend's status? Otherwise, in order to select and 
copy, it's easiest to do the Voiceover copy gesture, which is a 
three-finger-quadruple-tap once you've focused on the status. You may have to 
delete a word or two that Voiceover puts in, like "selected", etc. Or you can 
turn your rotor to lines and then slowly spread your fingers apart to select 
text, then turn the rotor to edit and copy it, then paste it in your status.

I want to select, copy and paste a facebook status of a friend in to my own status but don't know how

[Jen Colley]

Hi,  
I want to copy a friend’s facebook status in to my own status using the native 
facebook app but don’t have a blue tooth keyboard so don’t know how to do this. 
 
Thanks.  
Jen

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?

[Eric Brinkman]

Spotify and Tidal both work pretty well on iOS, but Spotify on the Mac
is unusable without a bit of vision.  Tidal gives you lossless audio
which you probably already know, but I haven't tried it on the Mac or
PC yet.  I'll keep both since I mostly use them on iOS and listen to
my Spotify playlist on shuffle on the PC while at work.  I just do all
the playlist creation on the iPhone and then select the playlist via
the system tray.
