Welcome to Family Sharing.
Hello all I am trying to get Family Sharing going. My sister says she is the organizer and sent me an invite. Below is all I have recently gotten from Apple and it says absolutely nothing about it’s being an invite. When I got to Settings and I Cloud it has me listed as the organizer. It wants me to click on the button to share my purchases with whatever family member I guess I have to write in. Meanwhile, my sister thinks she has already set this up at her end. Also she is the one with downloads I might want to share whereas I have nothing she doesn’t already have and I don’t intend to be downloading much right off. Ok I see below that it says to visit the purchase page. I will try that and see if that gets me where I want and if my sister’s name is in there. Still I am uncomfortable with it having me listed as the organizer. How can I get rid of that? Also, must this be done on the computer and not from the phone? If so I have to download Safari which I didn’t really want to bother with.

Re: Welcome to Family Sharing.
Hi, Before getting into the family sharing settings, you needed to wait for your sister's invitation. You set Family Sharing up on your phone, not the computer, so don't bother with Safari on your computer. I strongly recommend calling Apple Accessibility. I think they can help you sort this out. 1-877-204-3930 HTH, Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

Re: family sharing
You have to be signed in with the same Apple ID in the app store as well as iCloud. Your Apple ID, not Dulce's on your device. Whomever is the organizer, also has to have a credit card on file. Since you want Dulce to be the organizer, you don't have to worry about that. But, call Apple Accessibility and see if they can't get you setup correctly. 1-877-204-3930 HTH, Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It
Hi all, You may have heard about the recently released Workflow app, which provides automation for iOS. Here's the AppleVis page for it: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it became possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the developers want to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in the next few months will make what is already a usable app into one that is easy and fun, just as it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is possible to make workflows. The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or over) and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much time has passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, twice again halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you have one minute, and finally four times when time is up. A friend on Twitter gave me the idea, and he uses a similar setup to silently keep track of the time during speeches, meetings, etc. So long as you know how long you have, this can use vibrations to keep you on track. What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the Workflow app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, type in my time and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or downloading files, making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, emailing, and tons more. It's currently $3, and if this is the kind of thing you're into, I suggest picking it up. The app is, as I said, currently usable with VO if you work around the issues it has, but the team is seeking feedback from VO users and hopes to improve things in the near future. I'm not part of this app in any way, I just really like what it can do and wanted to spread the word. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: family sharing
Actually, the phones are not that smart. The issue is that you set yourself as the family organizer before you clicked on the link in the invitation. One of the limits of Family Sharing is that you can only be a part of one family and there can only be one organizer. But, I think it should be pretty easy for Apple Accessibility to reset your settings so you are not an organizer. I just don’t know exactly what that takes, but when you are talking with them, they can look up your account and hopefully sort that out.

RE: family sharing
Hi, I think you can actually call Apple Accessibility today. I believe they are on duty 7 days a week. At least, one advisor I spoke with had a ten hour shift from Friday to Monday.

The issue is that you set yourself as the family organizer before you clicked on the link in the invitation. One of the limits of Family Sharing is that you can only be a part of one family and there can only be one organizer. But, I think it should be pretty easy for Apple Accessibility to reset your settings so you are not an organizer. I just don’t know exactly what that takes, but when you are talking with them, they can look up your account and hopefully sort that out.

Re: New iPad Air 2
Well, I did a reset of my settings and it solved part of my problem! I can now use the 3 finger jesture to switch between home screens in landscape mode. It also let's me scroll web pages email in landscape mode as well. The only strange thing is the keyboard for spotlight view still shows up on the right sideways!!! Both with VO on off.

Glen from accessibility
Richard, I spoke to Glen from Apple today and he set me straight. He said I must have done what you said I did, that is, somehow set up family sharing with me as the organizer. Also the phone was never registered to me and was still in the previous users name. That is also probably why my sister never succeeded In sending me an invite. So now I will be expecting a pop up alerting me to the invite and if I miss it I can open up notifications and voila, it will be there. Thank you for urging me to call accessibility, they indeed needed to clear it out at their end. Deidre -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RobH. - Original Message - From: Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 3:00 PM Subject: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It Hi all, You may have heard about the recently released Workflow app, which provides automation for iOS. Here's the AppleVis page for it: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it became possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the developers want to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in the next few months will make what is already a usable app into one that is easy and fun, just as it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is possible to make workflows. The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or over) and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much time has passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, twice again halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you have one minute, and finally four times when time is up. A friend on Twitter gave me the idea, and he uses a similar setup to silently keep track of the time during speeches, meetings, etc. So long as you know how long you have, this can use vibrations to keep you on track. What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the Workflow app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, type in my time and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or downloading files, making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, emailing, and tons more.

Re: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It
An action is a dimmed button. So, that tutorial has an action to make gif, meaning that VO will say make gif, dimmed button. Double tap and hold that, with your finger in the center of the screen, and drag your finger to the right. That's how you'll add any action. To get to the list of actions, while making a workflow, double tap the Actions tab or do a three-finger swipe left. Find the action, and double tap and hold, like before.

RobH. - Original Message - From: Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 3:00 PM Subject: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It Hi all, You may have heard about the recently released Workflow app, which provides automation for iOS. Here's the AppleVis page for it: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it became possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the developers want to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in the next few months will make what is already a usable app into one that is easy and fun, just as it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is possible to make workflows. The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or over) and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much time has passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, twice again halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you have one minute, and finally four times when time is up. A friend on Twitter gave me the idea, and he uses a similar setup to silently keep track of the time during speeches, meetings, etc. So long as you know how long you have, this can use vibrations to keep you on track. What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the Workflow app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, type in my time and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or downloading files, making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, emailing, and tons more. It's currently $3, and if this is the kind of thing you're into, I suggest picking it up. The app is, as I said, currently usable with VO if you work around the issues it has, but the team is seeking feedback from VO users and hopes to improve things in the near future. I'm not part of this app in any way, I just really like what it can do and wanted to spread the word. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: New iPad Air 2
I set up my iPad Air 2 as a new device and when I only had VO running it allows me to swipe home pages in both landscape and portrait modes. But as soon as I add Zoom and have it running with VO the odd behavior starts again where swiping only works in landscape mode. I tested it on my iPhone 6+ and when I turned off zoom and only voiceover was running it worked perfectly!!! So It appears to be a VO Zoom conflict. I'm waiting for zack to call me back. If he doesn't in a little bit I may call and let someone else help. As I didn't get a case number. Any other VO zoom users? Katey.

I would think it should, but some stations might not based on their geographic restrictions. The thing I hate though is that there are still things where they block out the mobile stream but allow desktop, like ESPN for some sports at times.

Well, I also found the same thing happens when I turn my iPhone 6+ into landscape mode it acts the same way. I may call Apple Accessability to see if they've heard of this. Btw when I was in an Apple Store I tried an iPad Air 2 in landscape mode and it acted fine. Wonder if resetting all my settings would fix it. Also I noticed when I try to use the spotlight search in landscape mode the keyboard is at the right side sideways like it's in portrait mode!!! My fiancé's doesn't do this.
iPhone six and voiceover bugs
Gi all. For those with an iPhone 6, does voiceover seem to have the same bugs as it did in 8.0 even with 8.1.2? For me, focus bugs remain, and the direct touch typing switches to standard typing in many cases when switching apps.

Reddit accessibility
Hi all. Does anyone use reddit? If so, can you give directions for an app that is actually accessible because redditor isn't that good, with unlabeled buttons everywhere.

Twitterrific Not So Terrific at the moment.
Hi, I used Twitterrific earlier today and it worked fine, but just moments ago I restarted it and it now wants permission to view my account, @topangatom. Why is it acting up like that? I restarted the phone and the problem still occurs. Any ideas? Tom -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Twitterrific Not So Terrific at the moment.
They've been tweeting about it. The problem is on Twitter's end, not Twitterrific. Looks like it's an authentication problem, and they're waiting on Twitter to fix it.

The Interview with DVS
Hello list, So, it looks like The Interview is available on iTunes to rent or buy. Has anyone taken the plunge and know whether the DVS track is also accessible? Haven’t yet had a chance to use that audio described feature in iOS and was curious to know if this would be a film where one could try it out. Would have gone to see it in the theatre, but well, you know… Boogie men and all that noise. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
