RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

 

One thing I like about the Apple TV is what it offers for the U.S. major 
sports, MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL.  You can watch archived games for each sport.  
This will be handy for me, since the World Series and the NFL will be on at the 
same time this Sunday.  I’ll have the World Series on, which, by the way, the 
live radio feeds of the teams is available on the Apple TV.  Later on I’ll tune 
into the NFL broadcast.  These offerings aren’t cheap, but for me it’s worth 
having them available.

Re: the first itunes movie with description and the regular movie too!

[Richard Turner]

If you search in the iTunes store for Audio Description, you will find five 
movies in there, but I do not know if they are blueray or not.
I find it interesting that the one you have says nothing about audio 
description.
You can get a list of audio described movies that can be purchased on dvd 
through the American Foundation for the Blind web site.
I don't have the direct link handy, but if you google for it you will find it.
I don't know how many will be digitally available with the description.

A2Z Contacts

[Richard Turner]

Greetings,
My favorite app for creating contact groups for either Emailing or texting, got 
an update today that makes it about as perfect as they get. His earlier version 
had no decent labels for the buttons so far as VoiceOver was concerned.
I had figured it out by trial and error, but now, after today's update, it is 
perfectly labeled and easy to use.
It is free, or you can pay to get rid of the ads.
If you are looking for an app to create contact groups, I highly recommend A2Z 
Contacts.
There is one piece of the app that is still being worked on for iOS 9, but he 
thinks that update will be out next week.
The link follows:

An Update for A T & T Wireless Customers with an Unlimited Data Plan, Regarding WiFi Calling

[M. Taylor]

Hello My Fellow A T & T Wireless Unlimited Data Plan Subscribers,

I am delighted to report that, after paying a visit to my local A T & T
Wireless corporate store and after having concluded a 20 minute phone call
with A T & T Wireless technical billing support, I am comfortable stating
that there is absolutely no risk of voiding the unlimited data plan by
enabling WiFi calling.  

When it's all said and done, the senior tech explained that, unlike the
hotspot service, WiFi calling does not require any line/account
provisioning, whatsoever.  In fact, after having spoken to the people at A T
& T, I now realize that WiFi calling has absolutely nothing to do with the
transmission of data.  Wifi calling only refers to voice calls and SMS
messages.  Be that as it may, and I was clear to state this to all of those
with whom I spoke, albeit graciously, that I don't trust A T & T Wireless or
any big company that continues to be fined by the FCC for unfair practices
designed to  limit the company's commitment to its customers who purchased
service in good faith.  

By the way, I learned that A T & T only throttles data to its unlimited data
plan customers when they reach 23GB in a billing cycle and then only at
peak/congested times of the day, on a per cell tower basis.  That is to say,
that if a customer has reached the 23GB threshold and is having his/her data
throttled on cell tower A, because of high traffic congestion, if the
customer happens to move to cell tower B, and B is not congested, data wil
not be throttled.  

The following is the text of an email I had A T & T Wireless email to me,
regarding WiFi calling:

Do charges apply for Wi-Fi Calling?
If you use Wi-Fi Calling to make or receive domestic calls from the U.S.,
Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands, there are no extra charges. Also, these
calls don't count against your voice plan usage limits. For international
long distance calls, international rates from your current rate plan or
international package apply.

If you use Wi-Fi Calling to send or receive domestic or international
messages, you'll be charged based on your current rate plan or international
package. These messages will also count against any usage limits.

Happy WiFi Calling To Us All,

Mark

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi,

OK, so I checked into this Youtube thing a bit more and on second generation 
Apple TV they are definitely gone, anybody who claims otherwise probably has a 
third generation Apple TV. I also found out that the third generation Apple TV 
which was originally released in March of 2012 had a small update (not sure 
what that was) and a Revision A was released in January of 2013. It appears 
that Youtube is still available on the third generation Apple TV and I thought 
that is what I had, but apparently I have only a second generation Apple TV. I 
sort of remembered this now because when the third generation Apple TV came out 
I was debating whether I should buy one, but I believe one of the few 
improvements was that it can stream in 1280P whereas the second gen can only do 
720P and to me that was not very important. Anybody who wants to check, here 
are the actual model numbers which would tell you exactly which one you have 
including the first generation Apple TV which came out in 2007 and was 
available with a 40 Gb or 160 Gb hard drive and which probably not too many 
people have any more.
Below the model information I am pasting two links which talk about the Youtube 
thing:

• Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n)

Apple TV (2nd generation)

Hello Karl,

The Pay Pal Pay Flow system, that I posted about in an earlier message in this 
thread, requires a monthly fee whether one uses it or not.

Subject: RE: Accessible Credit Card Apps Revisited

Square is accessible as I use it all the time and am totally blind. So far I 
haven’t found a way to use the swiper as it does take away voiceover when you 
plug it in and blue tooth audio doesn’t work either as that goes away as well. 
Some folks have said they can plug in the swiper, swipe the card and then 
remove it and continue with voiceover but I haven’t tried this. I just type the 
card number in manually which costs a little more per transaction. This doesn’t 
mean much for me as most if not all my transactions are done over the phone or 
via fax so I don’t have the card physically with me anyway. I’m supposed to be 
receiving a new reader which will handle cards as well as Apple Pay soon and it 
is a blue tooth device I think so maybe it will work with voiceover but I’m not 
sure. The bottom line for me is that even though the transactions are a bit 
more expensive when entered manually Square is still cheaper than what I used 
to use because it has no other fees than those associated with a transaction so 
if you don’t charge anything this month you don’t pay anything. Some providers 
require a monthly fee whether you use the system or not. I hope this helps.

Hi all,
 
I have already posted this question, but haven’t resolved my problem yet, so in 
hopes that someone here has found an answer I’m asking again.
 
My husband owns and operates a small business. I assist with that, both of us 
being totally blind. We feel it is necessary to accept plastic as well as 
checks and cash, as most people use credit and debet cards. He has an iPhone 6, 
I have an iPhone 5C. We are looking for a credit card processing app that is 
completely accessible for blind folks, no sighted help necessary. Is there such 
a thing in anyone’s experiences?
 
Some say Square might be accessible, but you need a blue tooth ear piece to see 
if hearing voiceover is possible, as the Square card reader takes over the 
headphone jack on the phone. But no one had ever tried that to see if it would 
actually work last I knew.
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
Rhonda

Hello Rhonda,  

I have been very happy with the web form accessibility of the Pay Pal Pay Flow 
payment system.  Of course, using this method requires that you access your Pay 
Pal account in order to manually enter the credit card number.  I know that Pay 
Pal has a credit card reader but I choose not to use it so cannot comment as to 
its VoiceOver accessibility.

Re: If I sign in with my work Apple ID.

[Brett C.]

Once you get your personal phone setup, go to settings then iTunes. There you 
will sign out of your personal account and sign into your work account. Next go 
to the app store and download the apps you purchased for work. You can then go 
back to iTunes in settings and sign out of your work account and back into your 
personal account if you wish. You may need to repeat this process when the apps 
have updates, I’m not sure.

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[MamaPeach]

Both services offer different content. Sometimes you might find a show or a 
movie that both of them have, but it is rare. NetFlix has original shows that 
you can only watch on NetFlix. And NetFlix, like I said, I pay the higher price 
so I can have actual DVDs sent to my house. I get 3 DVDs and as soon as I 
return them, I get 3 more. I can do this as often as I want every month. Having 
both services gives us a good bit of movies and TV shows to choose from. The 
content does change so you never know what you might find on either service.

  Right now, I pay $25.10 including tax each month for NetFlix, but that plan

unlimited content to my Apple TV and other supported devices. I also pay $11.99

  Such as netflix, HBO and what other channels that might come out?

  Won't any new apps for apple TV might want to charge for their services?

Re: Safari to amazon app

[Christina C.]

Not sure if I completely understand what you are saying but you can also add an 
item to your wish list via an apple iDevice then go to your Mac and easily make 
your purchase. However, when I am not home and want to make a amazon purchase 
via my iPhone, I just prefer to use the amazon app and just wanted a quick and 
easy way to switch from the Safari amazon mobile product page to the same 
product page in the amazon app. next time I will look even closer for that link 
to open the amazon app for my non music and kindle purchases. I did figure out 
that if I go to the amazon app and go to recently viewed the product I was just 
looking at in Safari was right there. :)

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Billy Maynard]

hi,

I thought I read on this list a while backtaht hulu wasn't really accessable. 
From your previous message this is no longer hte case?  if netflicks gives 
streaming content ...I guess my question is since apparently now hulu is 
accessable why do you use 2 streamingservices like netflicks  and hulu?  Just 
wondering.  I'm relaly intrested because I toowould like to do without my cable 
service.  The apple tv sounds like the perfect divice to do this.

  Right now, I pay $25.10 including tax each month for NetFlix, but that plan

  Yeah, but the question is this:

  How much in monthly charges are you going to have to pay per package you want 
to watch on apple TV?

  Such as netflix, HBO and what other channels that might come out?

  Won't any new apps for apple TV might want to charge for their services?

   

  Don't you have to pay for those individually?

cable offers are things I just don’t watch. With Apple TV, I pay for a NetFlix

too. I enjoy other applications as well, such as Lifetime, A&E, YouTube, ABC, 
NBC, CBS, etc. There is so much available, on the 2nd generation alone there 
are 71 apps, not counting all the content you can access through the iTunes 
store,  and the new generation is supposed to have so much more. I am looking 
forward to Voice Recognition and playing around with Siri. I would rather have 
a Roku as Roku offers tons and tons and tons of channels, but the Roku has no 
VoiceOver or any other speech which makes it toally useless for a blind person. 
Apple TV, with VoiceOver enabled, is a great set top box for a blind 
individual. I can’t wait to see what all the new version does offer.

Yesterday I tried 4 times and now at least 4 times. I cannot get past the 
screen where you put the master password and write it again and put a hint and 
set on fingerprint ID. I have written the password and its confirm very slowly 
so I know I have done it correctly. Is this happening to me because I have an 
older version? If the case, how do I update? About to throw it out again, but I 
have no memory for passwords so I really need the app. Any ideas? Thanks.

the first itunes movie with description and the regular movie too!

[Joe Quinn]

so, iM a collector of blu-ray movies, so I can get the resulting digital HD 
movie, to put into my itunes library. Imagine my surprise today, when I clicked 
on a movie that i'd redeemed and I hear description? This is epic! Anyone else 
know of any other movies that have both descriptive audio, along with the 
regular movie's visuals and soundtrack? note, it won't tell you it has 
description before you buy it, so it definitely is a shot in the dark, but it's 
awesome nonetheless! So what's the movie you ask? Nonstop, starring Liam 
Neeson. I really hope this is the way movies are going maybe eventually we will 
not have to buy physical discs if the itunes movies come with description. 
Thoughts?

Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV 
has access to its own app store.


I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may 
not be available on the third gen Apple TV. One example already is 
Youtube. As of a few months ago the Youtube app is gone from the old Apple 
TV and while you could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by 
playing it on your iOS device and sending it to the Apple TV using 
Airplay, it is nice to just sit on the couch and check out Youtube content 
on the Apple TV. For me that alone is almost worth it and combining it 
with having access to voice control via SIRI and an app store which has 
huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV from the Canadian 
online Apple Store using the Apple Store app.


For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S 
and 6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 
canadian and at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few 
percent better than the current exchange rate.


If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than 
the third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a 
no-brainer.

Regina, I'm a little confused. What exactly do you want to do? If I understand 
correctly, you want to use 1Password to log into sites using Safari.  What you 
want to do is figure out the URL of the page you log in on. Sometimes you can 
go to a website, and the username and password fields are right there, but 
sometimes you need to click on a log in or sign in linkfirst. If you need to 
click on a login/sign in link first, you'll wknt to do that in Safari, then 
press the Shaare botton, then select the Copy option. This will copy the URL in 
your address bar to your clipboard so that you can paste it into 1Password. 
Create a new item in the logins area of 1Password, enter your info for that 
website, remembering to paste the URL you copied from Safari into the URL 
field, you you should be good to go. Now, you can either use 1Browser to log 
in, or you can use Safari. To use Safari, , your should just be able to bring 
up the website, hit the Share button, select 1Password, enter your master 
password, and select the login for that website. I tried this just this 
morning, and I didn't get logged in, so maybe it doesn't work like this? I'll 
have to do some more reading.

Agreed. For example the Now TV subscriptions are way, way, cheaper than 
the Sky TV packages which contain over half the channels I wouldn't even 
watch anyway.

Yes but most will be billed to your iTunes account. So as long as you
keep up with your credit, i.e. iTunes account balances, if you prefer to
buy this way of course, then all should be fine.

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies

are

now having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

Just trying to see the difference.

I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do
pictures, but well, streaming pictures through my television set won't

work.


Just some curious questions.

Never seen an apple TV in action, and for me, it just seems like just one
more thing to hook up to your television.

Ibeacon in Europe, and BlindSquare orientation app,

[Matti 3223]

Hello Krister and other Viphone-listers,


I got information on Ibeacon-development from Mr. Ilkka Pirttimaa.
Ilkka is developer of the BlindSquare orientation app. So some testing
of Ibeacon goes on in Helsinki. Homepage: www.blindsquare.com

Please, see below what Ilkka wrote today:

Hi!

That is "kind of true" that how to make iBeacon tech scale is sort of
a problem. That's why I have implemented very simplistic way to use
them, so that with minimal possible amount of iBeacons we can gain
much improved accessibility indoors.

We have implemented 1/3 of the shopping mall in Finland, one 3 store
building in Canada (CNIB HQ), another in NewZealand (BlindFoundation
HQ), 14 Tim Hortons restaurants
(http://www.cnib.ca/en/news/Pages/20151005_CNIB-Ontario-partners-with-BlindSquare-and-Tim-Hortons.aspx)
and are now building natural science museum in US. We are also going
to start at least 3 installations in Finland shortly. Right now I'm in
Belgiium to look for options to start here. We will train
orientation&mobility teachers to be certified installation partners,
but it takes some time to train this kind of knowledge.

Regardless of accessibility needs, iBeacons are installed around the
world for other purposes. One of the biggest manufacturers of
iBeacons, Kontakt.io, released a program called Beacons For Good
(http://kontakt.io/blog/beacons-for-good-is-kontakt-ios-way-of-giving-back/).
Idea there is that if premises owner who buys beacons offers them also
to be used by other apps (like BlindSquare), they get discount. They
also have a web site (http://beaconsforgood.org/) where anyone can
suggest where beacons would make a difference, and 4 times / year one
of voted places will get 100 beacons for free.


Best, Ilkka

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[chris]

Just to add, here in the Uk we have Now TV, Sky TV without a contract. 
It is by far the only accessible platform for the service. The iOS app 
is ok but not straightforward just like the case with Netflix. With Now 
TV you get both live and on-demand streaming of movies and entertainment 
as well as live streaming of all 7 Sky Sports channels. This is why I 
love my third generation Apple TV as there is lots to watch compared to 
free to air television like Freeview.


On 26/10/2015 16:30, Sieghard Weitzel wrote:

Hi Jeremy and others,



The big thing with the new Apple TV is that it will have an app store which 
means theoretically anybody could make an app for the Apple TV, for example, 
CNN, CBC, other news sources, any of the sports channels/networks etc. Of 
course the possibilities are endless as they are on iPhone and I think we’ll 
only start to see what’s going to be possible in the months to come as more and 
more apps will be available.



For me the big thing is that the Apple TV is so super easy and accessible, it’s 
by far the best Netflix experience if you use Netflix and also the fact that we 
can watch Youtube on the big TV sitting on our couch is very nice.



Of course there is the fact that Apple is still negotiating with many content 
providers to offer a full line-up of programming which currently is only 
available via cable or satellite. Once again we won’t see where this will go 
for another year or so, but considering Apple’s strength in offering content 
and the fact they have virtually limitless money to me means it will probably 
go far.



Lastly, you can of course consume any content like movies  or music you bought 
on iTunes and you can buy and rent movies right from the Apple Tv. You can also 
access anything in your iTunes library on your computer, for example, if you 
have movies there which you obtained from somewhere else or maybe which you 
ripped from DVD’s you have, you can watch them via your Apple TV. The same 
applies to photos and music.

Even now at the higher price point, $149 and $199 in the US, I think it’s a 
good deal and with the new Apple TV you also have access to SIRI, you can tell 
it to play certain movies or, if you are watching and just missed what was 
said, you can tell SIRI “What did they say” and it will rewind just a bit to 
let you hear it again. The new Apple TV remote also have volume buttons which 
can control your TV’s volume, so just one small remote will be necessary.



Anybody who has more basic questions as to what the Apple TV is or what it can 
do, just go to Apple’s website or read some of the reviews which in the next 
few days will pop up all over the major sites like The Verge, CNET and so on.

Sieghard

So, something like a cable box then.

I wonder if it will provide any of the sports channels.

At the moment like big ten, big 12, ESPN and ESPN2 and golf tennis all those 
sports channels NFL and MBA and such.

Also, then if connecting it to the TV, I then presume for the sighted folks, 
they will actually see the programs?

I did Google it, but well, it really didn't appear to be all that much to 
invest into.

I also would love to cut out the big cable company, but from what I read, you 
have to pay for Netflix, and I didn't see any of the big news channels listed

Ari and all,

I'm really pleased someone has finally done a podcast on 1Password as 
I'd put it aside, not being able to fathom how I was to progress once 
I'd given myself a strong password and a volt.  However, now I 
understand much better what I'm aiming at and hope to be able to spend

RE: Accessible Credit Card Apps Revisited

[Karl Smith]

Square is accessible as I use it all the time and am totally blind. So far I 
haven’t found a way to use the swiper as it does take away voiceover when you 
plug it in and blue tooth audio doesn’t work either as that goes away as well. 
Some folks have said they can plug in the swiper, swipe the card and then 
remove it and continue with voiceover but I haven’t tried this. I just type the 
card number in manually which costs a little more per transaction. This doesn’t 
mean much for me as most if not all my transactions are done over the phone or 
via fax so I don’t have the card physically with me anyway. I’m supposed to be 
receiving a new reader which will handle cards as well as Apple Pay soon and it 
is a blue tooth device I think so maybe it will work with voiceover but I’m not 
sure. The bottom line for me is that even though the transactions are a bit 
more expensive when entered manually Square is still cheaper than what I used 
to use because it has no other fees than those associated with a transaction so 
if you don’t charge anything this month you don’t pay anything. Some providers 
require a monthly fee whether you use the system or not. I hope this helps.

Hi all,

 

I have already posted this question, but haven’t resolved my problem yet, so in 
hopes that someone here has found an answer I’m asking again.

 

My husband owns and operates a small business. I assist with that, both of us 
being totally blind. We feel it is necessary to accept plastic as well as 
checks and cash, as most people use credit and debet cards. He has an iPhone 6, 
I have an iPhone 5C. We are looking for a credit card processing app that is 
completely accessible for blind folks, no sighted help necessary. Is there such 
a thing in anyone’s experiences?

 

Some say Square might be accessible, but you need a blue tooth ear piece to see 
if hearing voiceover is possible, as the Square card reader takes over the 
headphone jack on the phone. But no one had ever tried that to see if it would 
actually work last I knew.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Rhonda

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[chris]

Actually Youtube is still available and working to my knowledge on the 
third generation, now entry level, model.


On 26/10/2015 17:44, Sieghard Weitzel wrote:

Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV has 
access to its own app store.

I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may not be 
available on the third gen Apple TV. One example already is Youtube. As of a 
few months ago the Youtube app is gone from the old Apple TV and while you 
could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by playing it on your iOS 
device and sending it to the Apple TV using Airplay, it is nice to just sit on 
the couch and check out Youtube content on the Apple TV. For me that alone is 
almost worth it and combining it with having access to voice control via SIRI 
and an app store which has huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV 
from the Canadian online Apple Store using the Apple Store app.

For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S and 
6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 canadian and 
at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few percent better than 
the current exchange rate.

If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than the 
third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a no-brainer.

Sieghard

It's an honest mistake.  When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or
Android TV, they picture a big screen television with special features.
While a Google TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is a small network
media player that can stream both from your home computers and from online.

Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the Roku Box
or Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your television.

It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and the

Hi Sieghard,

That’s interesting, I get no unlock sound when I unlock either with my 
fingerprint, or by entering my passcode. In fact, I believe the sound you’re 
hearing is the VoiceOver sound for when a screen changes, which in my use, 
doesn’t always play either, depending on how fast the phone unlocks.
Try turning VO off and unlocking it with touch ID, you’ll get no unlock sound 
at all.

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Jeremy Gilley]

Yeah, but the question is this:

How much in monthly charges are you going to have to pay per package you
want to watch on apple TV?

Such as netflix, HBO and what other channels that might come out?

Won't any new apps for apple TV might want to charge for their services?

 

Don't you have to pay for those individually?

I would look up Apple TV on the internet and see what the advantages of

that cable offers are things I just don't watch. With Apple TV, I pay for a
NetFlix subscription and a Hulu+ subscription and get a lot of content just
with those too. I enjoy other applications as well, such as Lifetime, A&E,
YouTube, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. There is so much available, on the 2nd
generation alone there are 71 apps, not counting all the content you can
access through the iTunes store,  and the new generation is supposed to have
so much more. I am looking forward to Voice Recognition and playing around
with Siri. I would rather have a Roku as Roku offers tons and tons and tons
of channels, but the Roku has no VoiceOver or any other speech which makes
it toally useless for a blind person. Apple TV, with VoiceOver enabled, is a
great set top box for a blind individual. I can't wait to see what all the
new version does offer.

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those
channels through their normal television sets?

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are
now having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

Just trying to see the difference.

I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do
pictures, but well, streaming pictures through my television set won't work.

Just some curious questions.

Never seen an apple TV in action, and for me, it just seems like just one
more thing to hook up to your television.

It's an honest mistake.  When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or
Android TV, they picture a big screen television with special features.
While a Google TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is a small network
media player that can stream both from your home computers and from online.

Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the Roku Box
or Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your television.

It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and the
internet.

The purpose of Apple TV is to provide users with the ability to stream
media, such as photos, movies and music from iPhones, the iTunes store, or
from other partners like Netflix, HuluPlus, and more recently HBOGO or
HBONow, to enjoy o

Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV has

I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may not be

could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by playing it on your iOS 
device and sending it to the Apple TV using Airplay, it is nice to just sit on 
the couch and check out Youtube content on the Apple TV. For me that alone is 
almost worth it and combining it with having access to voice control via SIRI 
and an app store which has huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV 
from the Canadian online Apple Store using the Apple Store app.

For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S and 
6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 canadian and 
at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few percent better than 
the current exchange rate.

If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than the 
third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a no-brainer.

A Question to A T & T Wireless Customers with an Unlimited Data Plan, Regarding WiFi Calling

[M. Taylor]

Hello,

Before I enable the new WiFi calling feature in iOS 9.1, I want to make
certain that doing so will not automatically kick me off of my unlimited
data plan.  For years, A T & T Wireless has been trying to do anything that
will cause one to lose their grandfathered unlimited data; I don't want them
to trick me as they have done so many others, in the past, by offering other
options, which coincidentally, (wink), cause the revocation of the unlimited
data plan.  

A little paranoia on my part?  You bet!!

All replies welcomed.

Thank you,

Mark 
PS
Yes, I know I could call them but, to be honest, I have received inaccurate
information from their call centers, especially when it comes to the
unlimited data plan, in the past.

Re: Ibeacon in Europe, and BlindSquare orientation app,

[Matti 3223]

Hello Krister and other Viphone-listers,

I got information on Ibeacon-development from Mr. Ilkka Pirttimaa.
Ilkka is developer of the BlindSquare orientation app. So some testing
of Ibeacon goes on in Helsinki. Homepage: www.blindsquare.com

Please, see below what Ilkka wrote today:

Hi!

That is "kind of true" that how to make iBeacon tech scale is sort of
a problem. That's why I have implemented very simplistic way to use
them, so that with minimal possible amount of iBeacons we can gain
much improved accessibility indoors.

We have implemented 1/3 of the shopping mall in Finland, one 3 store
building in Canada (CNIB HQ), another in NewZealand (BlindFoundation
HQ), 14 Tim Hortons restaurants
(http://www.cnib.ca/en/news/Pages/20151005_CNIB-Ontario-partners-with-BlindSquare-and-Tim-Hortons.aspx)
and are now building natural science museum in US. We are also going
to start at least 3 installations in Finland shortly. Right now I'm in
Belgiium to look for options to start here. We will train
orientation&mobility teachers to be certified installation partners,
but it takes some time to train this kind of knowledge.

Regardless of accessibility needs, iBeacons are installed around the
world for other purposes. One of the biggest manufacturers of
iBeacons, Kontakt.io, released a program called Beacons For Good
(http://kontakt.io/blog/beacons-for-good-is-kontakt-ios-way-of-giving-back/).
Idea there is that if premises owner who buys beacons offers them also
to be used by other apps (like BlindSquare), they get discount. They
also have a web site (http://beaconsforgood.org/) where anyone can
suggest where beacons would make a difference, and 4 times / year one
of voted places will get 100 beacons for free.


Best, Ilkka

  Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV 
has access to its own app store.

  I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may not 
be available on the third gen Apple TV. One example already is Youtube. As of a 
few months ago the Youtube app is gone from the old Apple TV and while you 
could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by playing it on your iOS 
device and sending it to the Apple TV using Airplay, it is nice to just sit on 
the couch and check out Youtube content on the Apple TV. For me that alone is 
almost worth it and combining it with having access to voice control via SIRI 
and an app store which has huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV 
from the Canadian online Apple Store using the Apple Store app.

  For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S 
and 6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 canadian 
and at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few percent better 
than the current exchange rate.

  If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than the 
third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a no-brainer.

  I would look up Apple TV on the internet and see what the advantages of 
having one are. I cut cable a long time ago, because many of the channels that 
cable offers are things I just don’t watch. With Apple TV, I pay for a NetFlix 
subscription and a Hulu+ subscription and get a lot of content just with those 
too. I enjoy other applications as well, such as Lifetime, A&E, YouTube, ABC, 
NBC, CBS, etc. There is so much available, on the 2nd generation alone there 
are 71 apps, not counting all the content you can access through the iTunes 
store,  and the new generation is supposed to have so much more. I am looking 
forward to Voice Recognition and playing around with Siri. I would rather have

  Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those 
channels through their normal television sets?

  I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are 
now having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

  Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

  Just trying to see the difference.

 

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I don't know about accessible program guides, Netflix is certainly very 
accessible.
As for recording, that is a No at this point. I think considering that a lot of 
what you have access to on the Apple TV is basically on demand programming, 
being able to record something which airs at a certain time is not as big of an 
issue.

This topic is interesting. Here are more Apple TV questions: since VoiceOver 
comes standard on the Apple TV, is there a way of accessing a guide of some 
sort to find out what is on all those channels? Also, can the Apple TV record 
show for playback later? Is that process accessible?

Let's hope it will be so and of course then there still is the issue that

Try living in in Montreal  where I grew up. Most of the channels were in French 
so we really got less for our money. It works the same here in that to get what 
we want we need to subscribe to channels that we don't watch. I would love to 
just pay $40 for the channels I want. I am sure Apple will charge for the cable 
content. I am just hoping that it is less expensive.

I've actually only come across this link on accident, so I'm not entirely sure 
where it is. My guess is that it's somewhere near the top of the page.

You're correct. Kindle content and digital music can't be purchased using the 
Amazon app. I think this also extends to downloadable software. I think you can 
add these types of items to your wishlist from the app, however.

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Wayne Merritt]

This topic is interesting. Here are more Apple TV questions: since
VoiceOver comes standard on the Apple TV, is there a way of accessing
a guide of some sort to find out what is on all those channels? Also,
can the Apple TV record show for playback later? Is that process
accessible?

Re: Podcast on 1Password for iOS on AppleVis.

[englishrider91]

Regina, I'm a little confused. What exactly do you want to do? If I understand 
correctly, you want to use 1Password to log into sites using Safari.  What you 
want to do is figure out the URL of the page you log in on. Sometimes you can 
go to a website, and the username and password fields are right there, but 
sometimes you need to click on a log in or sign in linkfirst. If you need to 
click on a login/sign in link first, you'll wknt to do that in Safari, then 
press the Shaare botton, then select the Copy option. This will copy the URL in 
your address bar to your clipboard so that you can paste it into 1Password. 
Create a new item in the logins area of 1Password, enter your info for that 
website, remembering to paste the URL you copied from Safari into the URL 
field, you you should be good to go. Now, you can either use 1Browser to log 
in, or you can use Safari. To use Safari, , your should just be able to bring 
up the website, hit the Share button, select 1Password, enter your master 
password, and select the login for that website. I tried this just this 
morning, and I didn't get logged in, so maybe it doesn't work like this? I'll 
have to do some more reading.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

I am using a 2nd generation Apple TV and YouTube is still working on mine. I 
use it every day.

Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV has 
access to its own app store.

I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may not be 
available on the third gen Apple TV. One example already is Youtube. As of a 
few months ago the Youtube app is gone from the old Apple TV and while you 
could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by playing it on your iOS 
device and sending it to the Apple TV using Airplay, it is nice to just sit on 
the couch and check out Youtube content on the Apple TV. For me that alone is 
almost worth it and combining it with having access to voice control via SIRI 
and an app store which has huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV 
from the Canadian online Apple Store using the Apple Store app.

For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S and 
6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 canadian and 
at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few percent better than 
the current exchange rate.

If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than the 
third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a no-brainer.

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are now 
having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

Just trying to see the difference.

I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do pictures,

It's an honest mistake.  When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or Android 
TV, they picture a big screen television with special features.  While a Google 
TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is a small network media player that 
can stream both from your home computers and from online.

Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the Roku Box or 
Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your television.

It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and the 
internet.

The purpose of Apple TV is to provide users with the ability to stream media, 
such as photos, movies and music from iPhones, the iTunes store, or from other 
partners like Netflix, HuluPlus, and more recently HBOGO or HBONow, to enjoy on 
your TV and home theater audio system.

The Apple TV has VoiceOver on it so blind people are able to navigate the 
device and play all provided content. I have had an Apple TV for several years 
now and I am able to use it without any sighted assistance with the use of the 
VoiceOver feature. The new Apple TV is supposed to be so much better than the 
one I have, which is the 2nd generation.

Try living in in Montreal  where I grew up. Most of the channels were
in French so we really got less for our money. It works the same here
in that to get what we want we need to subscribe to channels that we
don't watch. I would love to just pay $40 for the channels I want. I
am sure Apple will charge for the cable content. I am just hoping that
it is less expensive.

[englishrider91]

If you entered alb your info correctly, and were able to create the vault, then 
got prompted to enter your master password, this is normal. 1Password is 
wanting you to unlock your va-lt, now that you've created it. Just enter your 
master password and you should be inside your vault, where you can start adding 
items to it.

Thanks to all who have indicated that they will let us know what content is 
offered. My other question is will each television need to have its own apple

Currently its my husband and I and we have 2 girls and as you all know with 
cable each tv has its own box. I’m looking forward to finding out more.

Hi Jeremy and others,

 

The big thing with the new Apple TV is that it will have an app store which 
means theoretically anybody could make an app for the Apple TV, for example, 
CNN, CBC, other news sources, any of the sports channels/networks etc. Of 
course the possibilities are endless as they are on iPhone and I think we’ll 
only start to see what’s going to be possible in the months to come as more and 
more apps will be available.

 

For me the big thing is that the Apple TV is so super easy and accessible, it’s 
by far the best Netflix experience if you use Netflix and also the fact that we 
can watch Youtube on the big TV sitting on our couch is very nice.

 

Of course there is the fact that Apple is still negotiating with many content 
providers to offer a full line-up of programming which currently is only 
available via cable or satellite. Once again we won’t see where this will go 
for another year or so, but considering Apple’s strength in offering content 
and the fact they have virtually limitless money to me means it will probably 
go far.

 

Lastly, you can of course consume any content like movies  or music you bought 
on iTunes and you can buy and rent movies right from the Apple Tv. You can also 
access anything in your iTunes library on your computer, for example, if you 
have movies there which you obtained from somewhere else or maybe which you 
ripped from DVD’s you have, you can watch them via your Apple TV. The same 
applies to photos and music.

Even now at the higher price point, $149 and $199 in the US, I think it’s a 
good deal and with the new Apple TV you also have access to SIRI, you can tell 
it to play certain movies or, if you are watching and just missed what was 
said, you can tell SIRI “What did they say” and it will rewind just a bit to 
let you hear it again. The new Apple TV remote also have volume buttons which 
can control your TV’s volume, so just one small remote will be necessary.

 

Anybody who has more basic questions as to what the Apple TV is or what it can 
do, just go to Apple’s website or read some of the reviews which in the next 
few days will pop up all over the major sites like The Verge, CNET and so on.

Sieghard

At the moment like big ten, big 12, ESPN and ESPN2 and golf tennis all those

Also, then if connecting it to the TV, I then presume for the sighted folks,

I did Google it, but well, it really didn't appear to be all that much to

I also would love to cut out the big cable company, but from what I read, you 
have to pay for Netflix, and I didn't see any of the big news channels listed

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV has 
access to its own app store.

I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may not be 
available on the third gen Apple TV. One example already is Youtube. As of a 
few months ago the Youtube app is gone from the old Apple TV and while you 
could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by playing it on your iOS 
device and sending it to the Apple TV using Airplay, it is nice to just sit on 
the couch and check out Youtube content on the Apple TV. For me that alone is 
almost worth it and combining it with having access to voice control via SIRI 
and an app store which has huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV 
from the Canadian online Apple Store using the Apple Store app.

For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S and 
6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 canadian and 
at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few percent better than 
the current exchange rate.

If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than the 
third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a no-brainer.

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those 
channels through their normal television sets?

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are now 
having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

Just trying to see the difference.

I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do pictures, 
but well, streaming pictures through my television set won't work.

Just some curious questions.

Never seen an apple TV in action, and for me, it just seems like just one more 
thing to hook up to your television.

You definitely would need an Apple TV for each television set in your house 
since the Apple TV has only a single HDMI output. You could connect a second TV 
by using a splitter or if you have a receiver where you can connect the Apple 
TV to the receiver and the receiver has 2 HDMI outputs, but then both TV’s 
would be limited to watching the same program.

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi John,

Keep in mind that once Apple is offering a lot of the channels which now are 
available on cable that this will not be a free service. Apple is not in the 
habit of giving things away hence their enormous wealth. I heard talk about 
something like $40 a month and while this is still cheaper than cable (at least 
in Canada) nobody really knows yet what they will charge and whether what is 
being offered will be as comprehensive as cable. I think over time it will be 
and it is my hope that with Apple it is more possible to pick and choose those 
channels one is interested in. I find that here with the satellite company we 
have, if you want a particul;ar channel you have to take whatever package of 
channels that the channel you want is in. This may of course include a few 
other channels one might like, but it is almost a given that half the channels 
that come in the package are channels you never end up watching. Of course the 
companies are very good at putting the most popular channels into different 
packages so if you want them you end up with 3 or 4 packages with a lot of 
stuff you don't really want or need.
Just as with cellular and internet services, at least here in Canada I think TV 
is a bit of a rip-off. Yes, we are the second largest country in the world 
geographically and have the smallest population density of all developed 
countries, but it's still more expensive than I think it has to be. But I 
understand it is also expensive in the US and you guys have 10 times the 
population of Canada in the continental United States which is an area about 
20% smaller than Canada. In many European countries both TV and cellular and 
internet services are much cheaper.

Sieghard

As far as I can guess each tv will need its own box. Even though it may seem 
expensive at first, over time if you eliminate cable, it will save you a lot of 
money.

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Marie]

boy they need to add a lot for the difference in price. You can get an Apple TV 
3 for $69 and it offers lots of content. More than I have time to use 
personally and I have no problem with the included remote or with the remote 
app on the IPhone. It will be interesting to see what the added features are.
Thanks for the info.

Hello I too am interested in the apple tv and have been researching. I want to 
get rid of my cable as well because the price is just too much for what it 
offers. Where can I find out what is available on apple tv? Should I just 
google it? 

Thanks

I would look up Apple TV on the internet and see what the advantages of having 
one are. I cut cable a long time ago, because many of the channels that cable 
offers are things I just don’t watch. With Apple TV, I pay for a NetFlix 
subscription and a Hulu+ subscription and get a lot of content just with those 
too. I enjoy other applications as well, such as Lifetime, A&E, YouTube, ABC, 
NBC, CBS, etc. There is so much available, on the 2nd generation alone there 
are 71 apps, not counting all the content you can access through the iTunes 
store,  and the new generation is supposed to have so much more. I am looking 
forward to Voice Recognition and playing around with Siri. I would rather have 
a Roku as Roku offers tons and tons and tons of channels, but the Roku has no 
VoiceOver or any other speech which makes it toally useless for a blind person. 
Apple TV, with VoiceOver enabled, is a great set top box for a blind 
individual. I can’t wait to see what all the new version does offer.

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those 
channels through their normal television sets?

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are now 
having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

Just trying to see the difference.

I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do pictures, 
but well, streaming pictures through my television set won't work.

Just some curious questions.

Never seen an apple TV in action, and for me, it just seems like just one more 
thing to hook up to your television.

It's an honest mistake.  When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or Android 
TV, they picture a big screen television with special features.  While a Google 
TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is a small network media player that 
can stream both from your home computers and from online.

Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the Roku Box or 
Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your television.

It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and the 
internet.

The purpose of Apple TV is to provide users with the ability to stream media, 
such as photos, movies and music from iPhones, the iTunes store, or from other 
partners like Netflix, HuluPlus, and more recently HBOGO or HBONow, to enjoy on 
your TV and home theater audio system.

The Apple TV has VoiceOver on it so blind people are able to navigate the 
device and play all provided content. I have had an Apple TV for several years 
now and I am able to use it without any sighted assistance with the use of the 
VoiceOver feature. The new Apple TV is supposed to be so much better than the 
one I have, which is the 2nd generation.

As far as I can guess each tv will need its own box. Even though it
may seem expensive at first, over time if you eliminate cable, it will
save you a lot of money.

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Laury-Johnson, Shawnese (LARA)]

Thanks to all who have indicated that they will let us know what content is 
offered. My other question is will each television need to have its own apple 
tv box? My mother currently has roku and she needs a separate one for each tv. 
Currently its my husband and I and we have 2 girls and as you all know with 
cable each tv has its own box. I’m looking forward to finding out more.

Subject: RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

Hi Jeremy and others,

The big thing with the new Apple TV is that it will have an app store which 
means theoretically anybody could make an app for the Apple TV, for example, 
CNN, CBC, other news sources, any of the sports channels/networks etc. Of 
course the possibilities are endless as they are on iPhone and I think we’ll 
only start to see what’s going to be possible in the months to come as more and 
more apps will be available.

For me the big thing is that the Apple TV is so super easy and accessible, it’s 
by far the best Netflix experience if you use Netflix and also the fact that we 
can watch Youtube on the big TV sitting on our couch is very nice.

Of course there is the fact that Apple is still negotiating with many content 
providers to offer a full line-up of programming which currently is only 
available via cable or satellite. Once again we won’t see where this will go 
for another year or so, but considering Apple’s strength in offering content 
and the fact they have virtually limitless money to me means it will probably 
go far.

Lastly, you can of course consume any content like movies  or music you bought 
on iTunes and you can buy and rent movies right from the Apple Tv. You can also 
access anything in your iTunes library on your computer, for example, if you 
have movies there which you obtained from somewhere else or maybe which you 
ripped from DVD’s you have, you can watch them via your Apple TV. The same 
applies to photos and music.
Even now at the higher price point, $149 and $199 in the US, I think it’s a 
good deal and with the new Apple TV you also have access to SIRI, you can tell 
it to play certain movies or, if you are watching and just missed what was 
said, you can tell SIRI “What did they say” and it will rewind just a bit to 
let you hear it again. The new Apple TV remote also have volume buttons which 
can control your TV’s volume, so just one small remote will be necessary.

Anybody who has more basic questions as to what the Apple TV is or what it can 
do, just go to Apple’s website or read some of the reviews which in the next 
few days will pop up all over the major sites like The Verge, CNET and so on.

Regards,
Sieghard

At the moment like big ten, big 12, ESPN and ESPN2 and golf tennis all those

Also, then if connecting it to the TV, I then presume for the sighted folks, 
they will actually see the programs?
I did Google it, but well, it really didn't appear to be all that much to

I also would love to cut out the big cable company, but from what I read, you

On a braille display (at least on the Focus braille displays), it's
dots1-2+space, or b-chord. (This isn't the same as pressing the Back button. 
You must navigate to that, then double-tap it - dots3-6+space.)

Re: Podcast on 1Password for iOS on AppleVis.

[Regina Alvarado]

I too have gone back to 1password. Have a question. Once I get my master 
password to enter, I will need to cut and paste each of my urls used into the 
app, correct? Once I do that, am I only able to ask to see passwords for the 
urls or does the app enter my information for me that I stored? I love being 
able to ask to see my password, but I would love it even more if it took me to 
the home page and entered the info I had saved in my vault. 

Another question, I had downloaded 1password a while ago and then deleted it. 
When I ask for it in the app store I just had to download it. In that case, 
when I downloaded from my purchased, did it give me the newest version? How do 
I get the newest version if this one is the one I deleted? Thank you in 
advance.

Re: GPS And Data Usage

[Alan Paganelli]

You can edit the POI names but not the Lat and Lon numbers.  There are a boat 
load of store names, Hotels, grocery stores and much more.  Even street names 
get changed too.  All can be edited on Trekker POIs.  You just can't change the 
Lat and Lon numbers.

Re: vonage

[Donald L. Roberts]

Maria, I am not Joseph but wanted to respond to your inquiry.  My other 
iPHone is a 4S which I have been using on Page plus for a couple of 
years.  Page Plus runs on the Verizon network.  Come to think of it, you 
are in Australia, so that last statement is not relevant for you.


At any rate, I use Vonage on that phone whenever I have a wi fi signal 
available, and it works very well.  Remember of course that if you are 
using Vonage, you cannot dictate the name of a contact or phone number 
to be called, but you can double tap the names in your contact list to 
be called.  Call quality is adequate, and I have not experienced dropped 
calls with Vonage.


Frankly, I really like it because Vonage has few limitations.  If I 
remember correctly, no one call may last more than 90 minutes, and I 
believe they give you something like 2000 calls per month.  I'll defer 
to others who know more about the specifics of Vonage usage.

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Jeremy and others,

 

The big thing with the new Apple TV is that it will have an app store which 
means theoretically anybody could make an app for the Apple TV, for example, 
CNN, CBC, other news sources, any of the sports channels/networks etc. Of 
course the possibilities are endless as they are on iPhone and I think we’ll 
only start to see what’s going to be possible in the months to come as more and 
more apps will be available.

 

For me the big thing is that the Apple TV is so super easy and accessible, it’s 
by far the best Netflix experience if you use Netflix and also the fact that we 
can watch Youtube on the big TV sitting on our couch is very nice.

 

Of course there is the fact that Apple is still negotiating with many content 
providers to offer a full line-up of programming which currently is only 
available via cable or satellite. Once again we won’t see where this will go 
for another year or so, but considering Apple’s strength in offering content 
and the fact they have virtually limitless money to me means it will probably 
go far.

 

Lastly, you can of course consume any content like movies  or music you bought 
on iTunes and you can buy and rent movies right from the Apple Tv. You can also 
access anything in your iTunes library on your computer, for example, if you 
have movies there which you obtained from somewhere else or maybe which you 
ripped from DVD’s you have, you can watch them via your Apple TV. The same 
applies to photos and music.

Even now at the higher price point, $149 and $199 in the US, I think it’s a 
good deal and with the new Apple TV you also have access to SIRI, you can tell 
it to play certain movies or, if you are watching and just missed what was 
said, you can tell SIRI “What did they say” and it will rewind just a bit to 
let you hear it again. The new Apple TV remote also have volume buttons which 
can control your TV’s volume, so just one small remote will be necessary.

 

Anybody who has more basic questions as to what the Apple TV is or what it can 
do, just go to Apple’s website or read some of the reviews which in the next 
few days will pop up all over the major sites like The Verge, CNET and so on.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

So, something like a cable box then.

I wonder if it will provide any of the sports channels.

At the moment like big ten, big 12, ESPN and ESPN2 and golf tennis all those 
sports channels NFL and MBA and such.

Also, then if connecting it to the TV, I then presume for the sighted folks, 
they will actually see the programs?

I did Google it, but well, it really didn't appear to be all that much to 
invest into.

I also would love to cut out the big cable company, but from what I read, you 
have to pay for Netflix, and I didn't see any of the big news channels listed 
anywhere's like fox news and such.

NBC, CBS, etc. There is so much available, on the 2nd generation alone there 
are 71 apps, not counting all the content you can access through the iTunes

forward to Voice Recognition and playing around with Siri. I would rather have 
a Roku as Roku offers tons and tons and tons of channels, but the Roku has no 
VoiceOver or any other speech which makes it toally useless for a blind person. 
Apple TV, with VoiceOver enabled, is a great set top box for a blind 
individual. I can’t wait to see what all the new version does offer.

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are now 
having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Re: GPS And Data Usage

[Alan Paganelli]

 actual streets rarely change.  With the Humanware Trekker, you can edit the 
points of interest if you really have a thing for that sort of thing.  In stead 
of grocery store X you can rename grocery Store Z.  At one time I cared about 
that and changed the names.  In my old age, I don't care as much what they call 
the grocery store.  The streets remain the same.  And if I remember right, 
Humanware offered Trekker Breeze users an update to the Breeze firmware and 
updated maps.

On the other hand, it's good to have one of the GPS apps on your iPhone or 
iPad.  On a trip to the state of Virginia, we used my iPad Air for navigation.  
Just tell Siri where you want to go and she'll pull up the driving directions.  
They sounded allot like Trekker directions.  In 25 feet, turn left on to XYZ 
Street.  I didn't try the walking directions but would think they had to at 
least be much the same thing.  On Jones street, turn right etc.  I didn't 
really notice any battery lag etc either.  So on the face of it, my one 
experience with maps on my iPad Air was a good one.  Rerouting was fast and 
countinously updated.  Apple seems to have done a really good job with the maps.

Is it a match for Trekker? Maybe if you had the updated trekker it would be fun 
to take a trip using both and see which you like better.  Personally, I like 
the hand held better.  It leaves my iPhone for other tasks.  The problem is, if 
you have to buy both devices new, bring a dump truck full of cash.

I have completed my 2 year aggrement with AT&T and am considering either the 6S 
or waiting for the iPhone 7.  I have a 5s with the largest size hard drive.  
Maybe the iPhone 7 will offer a larger hard drive size.  So all that having 
been said, recomendations?  Go for the 6s or wait for the iPhone 7?

RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

So, something like a cable box then.

I wonder if it will provide any of the sports channels.

At the moment like big ten, big 12, ESPN and ESPN2 and golf tennis all those
sports channels NFL and MBA and such.

Also, then if connecting it to the TV, I then presume for the sighted folks,
they will actually see the programs?

I did Google it, but well, it really didn't appear to be all that much to
invest into.

I also would love to cut out the big cable company, but from what I read,
you have to pay for Netflix, and I didn't see any of the big news channels
listed anywhere's like fox news and such.

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

It's an honest mistake.  When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or
Android TV, they picture a big screen television with special features.
While a Google TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is a small network
media player that can stream both from your home computers and from online.

Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the Roku Box
or Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your television.

It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and the
internet.

The purpose of Apple TV is to provide users with the ability to stream
media, such as photos, movies and music from iPhones, the iTunes store, or
from other partners like Netflix, HuluPlus, and more recently HBOGO or
HBONow, to enjoy on your TV and home theater audio system.

The Apple TV has VoiceOver on it so blind people are able to navigate the
device and play all provided content. I have had an Apple TV for several
years now and I am able to use it without any sighted assistance with the
use of the VoiceOver feature. The new Apple TV is supposed to be so much
better than the one I have, which is the 2nd generation.

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[MamaPeach]

I would look up Apple TV on the internet and see what the advantages of having 
one are. I cut cable a long time ago, because many of the channels that cable 
offers are things I just don’t watch. With Apple TV, I pay for a NetFlix 
subscription and a Hulu+ subscription and get a lot of content just with those 
too. I enjoy other applications as well, such as Lifetime, A&E, YouTube, ABC, 
NBC, CBS, etc. There is so much available, on the 2nd generation alone there 
are 71 apps, not counting all the content you can access through the iTunes 
store,  and the new generation is supposed to have so much more. I am looking 
forward to Voice Recognition and playing around with Siri. I would rather have 
a Roku as Roku offers tons and tons and tons of channels, but the Roku has no 
VoiceOver or any other speech which makes it toally useless for a blind person. 
Apple TV, with VoiceOver enabled, is a great set top box for a blind 
individual. I can’t wait to see what all the new version does offer.

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those 
channels through their normal television sets?

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are now 
having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

Just trying to see the difference.

I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do pictures, 
but well, streaming pictures through my television set won't work.

Just some curious questions.

Never seen an apple TV in action, and for me, it just seems like just one more 
thing to hook up to your television.

I would love to be able to get rid of cable. Is that where Apple is going with 
Apple TV? With the new model is there more cable content? We will need a new TV 
soon. Is it worth the extra to get Apple TV?

Re: Podcast on 1Password for iOS on AppleVis.

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I too found the podcast on 1Password very helpful and informative.
I downloaded the app, and couldn't get passed the first screen  of
setting up a new account. I entered all of the information, and then
was prompted to enter my master password again. I kept getting the
prompt for the master password, and after several times gave up. I
don't know if I will return to 1Password but hopefully that was a
fluke for me. I would like to have some sort of password/credit card
management app and plan on doing research on AppleVis. Anyone have any
other password management apps that they would recommend which are
accessible and cheap? I like the idea of syncing with Dropbox.

that I can get rid of my cable in a few months. I'm tired of paying
money for channels we don't watch. However, their are a few that are
must haves.

Re: Male focus bug Not fixed

[Tom Lange]

Hi. A lot of times I use my BrailleNote Apex as a Braille display with my 
iPhone, especially when I'm trying to get through a lot of e-mail reading or 
composition. So I have an observation and a question. Others may have said this 
already but it bears repeating: the focus bug seems to occur when I'm exiting a 
message thread. Even using a scrub gesture, I gon't return to the expected 
location in the message list. How would I do a scrub gesture using keystrokes 
on my BrailleNote or any other Braille display? 

Tom

Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store

[MamaPeach]

It's an honest mistake.  When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or Android 
TV, they picture a big screen television with special features.  While a Google 
TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is a small network media player that 
can stream both from your home computers and from online.
Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the Roku Box or 
Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your television.
It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and the 
internet.
The purpose of Apple TV is to provide users with the ability to stream media, 
such as photos, movies and music from iPhones, the iTunes store, or from other 
partners like Netflix, HuluPlus, and more recently HBOGO or HBONow, to enjoy on 
your TV and home theater audio system.
The Apple TV has VoiceOver on it so blind people are able to navigate the 
device and play all provided content. I have had an Apple TV for several years 
now and I am able to use it without any sighted assistance with the use of the 
VoiceOver feature. The new Apple TV is supposed to be so much better than the 
one I have, which is the 2nd generation.

Subject: Continued volume issues with Apple Music

Can anyone verify volume issues with Apple Music to the point that I'll 
probably unsubscribe.


I always noticed that when playing Apple Music the volume seemed low a lot 
of the time. There were quite a few other problems through the iOS 9 beta 
cycle that I won't even begin to try to elaborate.


Can you try playing a song, then use the in-line remote on the Apple EarPods 
or equivalent to fast forward a little. Then, release the fast forward and 
see if the volume of the track is much louder?.


Afterward, pause and restart play and see if the volume is 10 to 20% lower.

I'm just trying to figure out whether I am the only one experiencing these 
kinds of volume issues with Apple Music.


You may have to play around a little to get these kinds of volume 
inconsistencies to happen but, for me at least, it's not too hard to get it 
to fluctuate fairly wildly. Am I experiencing something specific to me, or 
is this common?


I'm honestly tired enough of the issues that I'll go back to the poorly 
implemented accessibility of Spotify only because they do such a great job 
on so many things.


If you are able to duplicate these issues, are you using iOS 9.1?

Re: favorite games

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi,
My favorite games tend to go in periods, i can play a game to death and then 
all of a sudden stop playing it alltogether. Right now however my favorite game 
all categories is Blindfold Solitaire. I only wish that there was a Penguin 
solitaire there, but that’s not so important.

 Hi Kinber,

   Thanks for responding and giving this one a try! I get the same
 results
 as you, but it does look like it should be doable if only

   I have found, once "keyboard" is chosen, that I do get letters in the
 edit field, but it is very hit and miss and I can't seem to find how to
 delete extraneous letters. So, the keyboard is being seen, which is
 good
 news, so we must be able to use the app, just a little tweaking,
 perhaps?

   I found this app via Google, when looking for VIP solutions to online
 crossword accessibility and discovered that accessibility is the whole
 point
 of their app. I am sure they will be helpful. I also will write to them.
 For
 anyone else who is reading this, you can choose from many different
 types of
 crossword, from the most simple to the most obscure, including, as I
 tnote,
 some in latin Plus, of course, concise and cryptic (my personal
 favourite!)

   So, lets keep trying and reporting back.

   One final comment: for me, real pleasure is to do the crossword of
 the
 day, online, directly on the relevant newspaper, there is just
 something
 about doing things in real time, and for Prize crosswords, well

   Slainte, Sandy.

Re: Typemail, has anyone tried it?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I took a look at the Type Mail app, and although it has some promise, 
there are a few things I need to figure out, and there are a few things 
the developers need to address. They were wonderful to work with on 
Android, and I assume the same will be true on IOS. I wouldnt' recommend 
it now, but if anyone else takes a look and figures things out, let me know.
