RE: iTunes 12.7 - things missing?

[James Homuth]

Probably, but it'll end up costing you your iTunes library. Plus there's no
guarantee you'll get much use out of it if they're planning to remove
support for iTunes accessing the app store. Presumedly they can restrict
that at the API level.

is there a way of going back to a previous iTunes version? as I also feel
like doing that, if they are going to start taking useful stuff out.

This is why I'll  be sticking with iTunes 12.6 for as long as I can. 

And it might just be me, but accessibility at least with JAWS,  in my
opinion has gotten markedly worse.

too long for the iPhone, or are not actually there really. when I fired up
iTunes however, couldn't find a way of getting at my tones library at all.

Hey folks. So here's a thing. It used to be that you could do things like
enable VO from within iTunes. Running 12.7 now, it looks like that's gone
missing. I'm also not seeing the area you're supposed to be able to paste
content onto your device from. Did they move it, or take it out entirely, or
am I just in need of more coffee?

Good Sunday afternoon everyone.
Earlier this week I wrote in with keyboard questions for IOS 11 users.  I 
promised I would play in IOS 11 and let you know if I found any work arounds.  
Here is what I found. If you want to get to home while in an app you can press 
control  option and the letter h.  If you want to close an app you can press 
this same combination but press the h twice quickly.  This will take you to the 
app switcher.
Sometimes, I have problems deleting mail especially if I have opened a thread 
of mail to read it.  So, press f3 which will take you away from the message.  
Once that is done you can go back to the message and delete what you want.

I have found that I can't activate music anymore with my function keys like I 
used to in IOS 10.  So, in order to start music, you have to have the app open. 
 Once you have it open you can press your function keys to skip a song or 
repeat a song.  The volume buttons in the function keys don't work with IOS 11. 
 Hope this helps.

RE: iPhone 8 and speaker lightly crackling

[Debby]

I think I have heard the crackling briefly in a couple of other places, for 
instance, in Seeing AI. But it is very consistent in the Blindfold games. I 
usually play Solitaire and Color Crush with the background music on. I turned 
the music off because with the game, the music and the crackling, it was just 
too distracting. The games are definitely still playable.

 

Have fun!

Re: iPhone 8 and speaker lightly crackling

[Gordon]

So it looks like the crackling sound appears when there's multiple tasks 
for the sound chip to perform. For example playing games with music in 
the background and the game changing and playing different sounds. 
Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me as well. the only other 
phone that I've seen do something similar to this would be the Motorola 
Nexus 6. I just wonder if this crackling can be duplicated with all 
iPhone 8 models?

Re: Can I Get the Canada Radio Player from the U.S. App Store?

[Craig Werner]

My thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.  I didn't
know about Jonathan Mosen's book and may check it out.  For now, I'll
be content with the CBC Radio App and my ability to access other
Canadian stations with other radio apps I own.

Re: IOS 11 and Braille Displays

[Paul Richard McGann]

I suggest you to go over settings, then general, then accessiblity, then 
voiceover. take a look at braille and find out why there are something. if you 
happen to have grade 2 uk or us or ueb. you would know why. you need to look at 
input and output for eight-dot as you can see . sometimes upgrading change 
settings itself little bit.  hope this heps.

RE: iPhone 8 and speaker lightly crackling

[Debby]

Kimber, but you are using a 7 right? I have an 8. If that’s true then it has 
something to do with how the Blindfold games interact with iOS 11.

That is true in my case anyway. I only hear the crackling during my play a 
blindfold solitaire.

Hi Kimber and Debbie, 

I was just on the phone with Dell pro support via way of my iPhone. 

This time, I could definitelyhear crackling noises coming from the 
earpiece of the device. 

My iPad pro also seems to exhibit this alarming behavior. 

I am going to run the iOS diagnostic software from Apple's express support 
channel  but it's looking like a hardware issue contrary   to what I posted 
earlier.

Hello,

 

I received my iPhone 8 yesterday, and I finally have it mostly set up, actually 
it did most of the work. But when I play Blindfold games like Solitaire and 
Color Crush, the speaker lightly crackles. It is almost as if my finger moving 
around the screen is causing the speaker to have static. I turned off the 
background music in Solitaire, and it is somewhat better, but not gone. I have 
restarted the phone, restarted voiceover, turned off audio ducking, changed the 
speed and pitch of the voices and it is still there. I played music from the 
music app and moved around the screen while the music was playing and no 
crackle. The only other place I heard it was a tiny bit in Seeing AI.

 

Has anyone else experienced the problem? My bet is that it is a software 
problem, but if it is the hardware, then a trip to the Verizon store will be in 
order.

 

Thanks!

 

Debby

Re: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

[Richard Turner]

Mark,
While it is true that gesture works, did you try to reply to an email after 
doing that?
On my iPod Touch 6, the buttons at the bottom of an email also disappeared.

I had to go back to messages and double tap on messaging apps button to get 
them back.

To do this:

1.
Open a conversation in the iMessage app.

2.
Just to the right of the Add Media button, you will find the Messages App 
Button.

3.
Single-finger, double-tap and hold this button and swipe down towards the 
bottom of the display.  That's all there is to it.

Please note that the Messages app button is not located on the bottom row of 
the display but on the same row as the add media button, just above the Dock.

Good Luck,

Hello Everyone,

As I loaned out my 6 S Plus running iOS 11, I cannot determine if there is a 
VoiceOver gesture that will allow the same option that is described in the 
article, below, but wanted to post the article anyway so that you know that it 
is possible to hide the iMessage App Doc, permanently, so long as you do not

CNET How To - Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 9:06 AM Hide the annoying app 
dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

One of the new features in Messages on iOS 11 is a dedicated app dock for your 
iMessage apps. You've undoubtedly seen it since updating earlier this week -- 
it's a row of app icons at the bottom of the screen each and every time you 
open a conversation.

I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter, and have been asked privately a few 
times about hiding it. At first, I didn't think it was possible. Then I found 
the answer on Reddit.

Hide the app dock by placing your finger on the App Store icon next to the text 
field, and swipe down.

Poof, it's gone.

There's a caveat, because of course there is. If you use an iMessage app in the 
future, the dock comes back. But you can repeat the quick gesture to get rid of 
it again.

Recommendations for around $100 In-ear Wired Headphones

[Craig Werner]

Hello, everyone.

The wires on my four-year-old Bose Mie2i wired in-ear headphones are
beginning to fray, and I'll have to replace them if the sound from
them becomes intermittent.  I am looking for a pair of wired in-ear
headphones whose tips are comfortable and do not reach deep into the
ear canal and whose sound is similar to the warm, flat Bose sound.  I
am considering the Bose in-ear SoundTrue headphones and also the
Sennheiser HD1 in-ear models.  The hype around the Shenzhen 1More's
Triple Driver headphones also has me interested although I am very
suspicious of over-the-top reviews.  I am not interested in any
wireless phones.  Does anyone have any deep and abiding experience
with the kind of headphones I am looking for?

Thank you.

Craig

7 settings to change right away on iOS 11 - CNET iOS 11 adds a bevy of new

Given the frightening number of drivers I see each and every day with their

Customize the new Control Center
The Control Center received a makeover with iOS 11. All of its shortcuts now 
fit into a single panel, and you can customize its offerings and the order in 
which they appear. There are also hidden features for many Control Center 
buttons that you can access via a long press or Force Touch. Read more on how 
to customize the revamped Control Center.

Check your storage
Apple knows the pain you feel when your iPhone tells you it's running short on space 
and offers a few new ways to help manage your storage space. Head to Settings > 
General > iPhone Storage and you'll see a colorful chart at the top that 
illustrates how much free space you have left and what's taking up the space you are 
using.
Below that, it'll make a few recommendations about how to save storage, 
including the newfound ability to Offload Unused Apps. With that setting 
enabled, iOS 11 will jettison apps you haven't touched in a while when you are 
running low on storage space. Don't worry, iOS 11 will save all of the data and 
documents associated with the app so you can pick right up where you left off 
when you reinstall them.
  
Apps that you haven't used in a while can be deleted automatically when you need the space.

Check your file format
One of the biggest changes with iOS 11 happens behind the scenes to save you 
storage space. Apple is moving to a new file format for photos and videos that 
results in smaller file sizes. Photos use the HEIF format and videos use the 
HEVC format.
In the iOS 11 beta, my iPhone did not switch to the new formats by default.
To see what format your iPhone is set to capture photos and videos, go to Settings 
> Camera > Formats and choose High Efficiency to use the new HEIF and HEVC 
formats or choose Most Compatible to continue using the JPEG and
H.264 formats.
  
You can try the new photo file format by picking the High Efficiency option.

Find the Files app
Finally, iOS has added a file-management system where you can see all of your 
files instead of hunting for them across different apps. The new Files app lets 
you manage the files not only stored in Apple's own iCloud Drive but also lets 
you add third-party cloud services including Dropbox and Google Drive.
  
You can organize your files in iOS 11's Files app.

New setting for location services
iOS 11 has wrestled control away from developers for how and when apps access your 
location and given it to you. No longer can a developer offer only Always or Never 
for the tracking options for location services. Now, you'll be able to choose While

RE: Recommendations for around $100 In-ear Wired Headphones

[Chip Orange]

I have a lot of experience with over-the-ear open-backed headphones from 
Sennheiser and I love the p100 model for well under $100.

In addition to great warm sound, it allows some ambient noise to pennetrate 
(which I consider a bonus for blind people who don't want to be completely cut 
off from their environment).

They also fold like sunglasses, and so are easily portable.

Subject: Recommendations for around $100 In-ear Wired Headphones

Hello, everyone.

The wires on my four-year-old Bose Mie2i wired in-ear headphones are beginning 
to fray, and I'll have to replace them if the sound from them becomes 
intermittent.  I am looking for a pair of wired in-ear headphones whose tips 
are comfortable and do not reach deep into the ear canal and whose sound is 
similar to the warm, flat Bose sound.  I am considering the Bose in-ear 
SoundTrue headphones and also the Sennheiser HD1 in-ear models.  The hype 
around the Shenzhen 1More's Triple Driver headphones also has me interested 
although I am very suspicious of over-the-top reviews.  I am not interested in 
any wireless phones.  Does anyone have any deep and abiding experience with the 
kind of headphones I am looking for?

Thank you.

Craig

Yes, I called Apple accessibility hotline, they told me to go through the

7 settings to change right away on iOS 11 - CNET iOS 11 adds a bevy of new

iPad). After opening your new iPhone or upgrading your current iPhone, here are

eyes not on the road but in their laps, this might be the best new feature of

and found the answer.

1. Open settings.

2. Open Accounts and passwords.

3. Do the three finger swipe up because flicking right with one finger will 
stop on add account.

4. The last item on the screen is now fetch.

You will need to set it for each mail account you have.

No wonder my battery has been draining faster.

Mike and others like me who have struggled with this, I did a lot of googling 
and found the answer.

1. Open settings.

2. Open Accounts and passwords.

3. Do the three finger swipe up because flicking right with one finger will 
stop on add account.

4. The last item on the screen is now fetch.

You will need to set it for each mail account you have.

No wonder my battery has been draining faster.

RE: Can I Get the Canada Radio Player from the U.S. App Store?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Craig,

If you are such a fan of canadian radio, do a search for exactly that in the 
app store. Of course I don't know what will come up for you, but when I just 
did this it shows a bunch of results, too many to list here, one of them is 
this:
Radio Canada: Canadian Radios FM", by Sebastian Rousseau. it gets 4.75 Stars, 
link and app description follow:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/radio-canada-canadian-radios-fm/id1219905976?mt=8

Radio Canada allows you to listen for free to more than 800 live radio stations 
using an internet connection.
Application’s features:
- more than 800 radio stations and webradios (national, local) available in one 
single application,
- a simple and efficient interface guarantees a rapid access to the application 
and an optimal sound quality,
- a powerful search engine to easily find radio stations by name and music 
genre,
- a list of favorites to save your radio stations and webradios of your 
preference,
- you can listen to the radio station while placing it at the background in 
order for you to use simultaneously another application,
- automatic and continuous updates for radio stations and webradios (certain 
stations may be temporarily unavailable depending on radio broadcasting).

And here one more which apparently has recording: Canada Radio - Live Stream 
Radio
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/canada-radio-live-stream-radio/id1089886763?mt=8

I am pretty sure these are the correct links for these apps in the US app 
store, of course you have to check regarding accessibility.

Regards,
Sieghard

I also wondered if anyone has any ideas what to do to solve this, as I know

OK everyone. Ihave had to do a hard reset twice on my 7 plus today using IOS

Over is lost and the only thing that comes up on the display is messagesand 
there’s no moving around as voice over is lost. Can’t even do a ?ree fingle 
double tap to turn on the speech so I reset. After I do and the phone reboots, 
Samantha comes on but the Siri male voice is selected. Soafter this happened 
for the second time today I decided to go back to Tom. Hopefully this doesn’t

RE: List Recorder App and IOS 11

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Christopher,

I believe Richard contacted the developer and she has tried to sell the app to 
another developer since she can’t continue the work, but nobody wanted to buy 
the app from her. You have to understand that just because you paid for an app 
that does not mean it will definitely be supported or updated for the rest of 
your life. If a developer can’t continue for personal reasons or because he or 
she has become sick or just moved on to another job which requires all their 
time then that is just how it is. You could say the same about an iPhone, I 
paid a lot more for my iPhone 4S 6 years ago which I believe is probably about 
the same time I bought List Recorder, but just because I paid for it doesn’t 
mean Apple will continue to support it and make sure it gets the latest iOS 
update, this is just not technologically possible. It sounds like in the case 
of List Recorder personal reasons make it impossible for the original developer 
to continue developing it and unfortunately that means List Recorder is an app 
of the past most likely never to return.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: List Recorder App and IOS 11

[Cristóbal]

I believe that someone on this list mentioned that they contacted the dev and 
indications were that they for personal reasons had stopped developing the app. 
Unless another dev works something out with this app’s creator and takes it 
over, then that’s probably it for List Recorder. Considering how ubiquitous 
recording apps are in general though, I wouldn’t hold my breath on this 
particular app being updated for iOS 11 compatibility at this point.

Unfortunate, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Re: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

How odd about the buttons in Mail. I had no problems replying to an email or

RE: Siri female voice iOS 11

[Rick Alfaro]

Hi Richard. 

Regarding the new Siri Female voice, I'd like to use this voice in Voice
Dream Reader but don't see it listed as a possibility. Have you found a way
to accomplish this? It would be a fantastic voice for reading books due to
how natural she sounds.

Subject: Siri female voice iOS 11

I'm finding some inconsistencies.


  1.  When I go into the Accessibility Speech settings and sample the Siri
American female voice or in the VoiceOver Speech settings and do the same,
it is a very nice, high quality voice that is using 497 MB or something like
that.
  2.  Under the regular accessibility speech settings, it says the name is
Martha.
  3.  However, if I go into the Siri settings and select Siri female
American, it is a not great sounding Samantha.  It is clearly not the
correct voice.
This is on both my iPhone 5s and iPod Touch 6 running iOS 11.
I'm copying Apple accessibility on this message.

Richard

RE: Changes in WatchOS 4

[Rick Alfaro]

Totally agree here. If I had a series 2, I probably wouldn't upgrade either but 
I have the original Apple watch and it's really become unacceptable in terms of 
performance, especially under Watch OS 4. It's gotten so clunky feeling that I 
have gone back to my Tissot silent T for now. My series 3 should be here today 
or tomorrow so I'm looking forward to the expected increase in responsiveness.

Hi,

I, on the other hand, have the very first generation watch, and I'm excited to 
get the new one. The first generation one is slow and often clicks off when I 
try to use it, so it's becoming increasingly less useful. I don't blame those 
of you with the Series 2 for not upgrading, though.

Voice over and zoom bug

[Douglas Cameron]

Hey guys! Wanted to let ya’ll know about a bug that is in iOS 11, one that 
occurred during the beta, and was worked out; however reappeared in the final 
release.

If you are both a VO user and a zoom user, you can not have both enabled at the 
same time, or you will be unable to enter your home screen into edit mode. The 
current and only work around for this bug is to have zoom added to triple click 
home, and turn it on and off as required.
Hope this is fixed soon; however, this is the best work around until it is 
solved. Personally, I find it rather amusing now that I solved the issue; 
however, it is a serious pain.

Re: iPhone 8 and speaker lightly crackling

On my iPhone 7 the crackling is not constant and it doesn’t hinder play. It

RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi all,

Thanks, Mark, I thought it was the “Store” button which I guess is in the 
messaging dock. Anyhow, I now found the correct cutton and was able to hide 
that dock, just as Anna said, I went to the mail app afterwards and opened a 
message and all the buttons along the bottom were there.

getting rid of the Messaging Apps dock.

On my iPod Touch 6, the buttons at the bottom of an email also disappeared.

I had to go back to messages and double tap on messaging apps button to get

Hello Sieghard,

Having my 6 S Plus back, I am delighted to report that a VoiceOver user can 
easily dismiss the iMessage App Doc located in the bottom row of a conversation.

To do this:

1.
Open a conversation in the iMessage app.

2.
Just to the right of the Add Media button, you will find the Messages App 
Button.

3.
Single-finger, double-tap and hold this button and swipe down towards the 
bottom of the display.  That's all there is to it.

Please note that the Messages app button is not located on the bottom row of 
the display but on the same row as the add media button, just above the Dock.

Good Luck,

Mark

Hmm, if this means the one Voiceover reads as "Store" which I get to if I swipe 
right once after the Sent button (or Record if it's an iMessage) then I don't 
know how you can swipe down, it is already at the very bottom left of the

Hello Everyone,

As I loaned out my 6 S Plus running iOS 11, I cannot determine if there is a 
VoiceOver gesture that will allow the same option that is described in the 
article, below, but wanted to post the article anyway so that you know that it 
is possible to hide the iMessage App Doc, permanently, so long as you do not 
change iMessage apps.

CNET How To - Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 9:06 AM Hide the annoying app 
dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

One of the new features in Messages on iOS 11 is a dedicated app dock for your 
iMessage apps. You've undoubtedly seen it since updating earlier this week -- 
it's a row of app icons at the bottom of the screen each and every time you 
open a conversation.

I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter, and have been asked privately a few 
times about hiding it. At first, I didn't think it was possible. Then I found 
the answer on Reddit.

Hide the app dock by placing your finger on the App Store icon next to the text 
field, and swipe down.

Poof, it's gone.

There's a caveat, because of course there is. If you use an iMessage app in the 
future, the dock comes back. But you can repeat the quick gesture to get rid of 
it again.

RE: enable and disabling watch digital crown.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Anthony,

You say "I don't believe you can." What does this refer to?
If it refers to the question about enabling digital crown navigation then Mark 
had already explained when he asked whether this was still available in Watch 
OS 4 how to enable it.
Larry asked because I assume he didn't read Mark's message or didn't read it 
carefully, that is why I answered that you enable it with a 2-finger triple tap 
on the watch.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hello Chip,

I’m not Richard, but if you want to maximize battery life and don’t care if you

Mike and others like me who have struggled with this, I did a lot of googling

1. Open settings.
2. Open Accounts and passwords.
3. Do the three finger swipe up because flicking right with one finger will 
stop on add account.
4. The last item on the screen is now fetch.
You will need to set it for each mail account you have.
No wonder my battery has been draining faster.

RE: bug with new Siri voices phone crashes IOS 11

[Sieghard Weitzel]

First of all, the SIRI voices while nice are a bit less responsive. Having said 
this, I have had absolutely 0 issues having the US femal SIRI voice on my 
rotor. This means by default Samantha High Quality is used, but if I turn the 
rotor to languages and flick down I get the SIRI voice and unless I change it 
again or reboot the phone it stays on the SIRI voice. If there is an issue 
setting them as the default voice, why not use that work-around, set Samantha 
as your default and whichever SIRI voice you want as an additional voice on the 
rotor, then change to the SIRI voice and turn the rotor away from langauges 
afterwards. This should get you the SIRI voice until you have to do a reboot 
and while I don't know about your habits, I don't do those very often.
I even turned Voiceover off completely with a triple click home after changing 
the voice to the SIRI voice to see what happens and even here when I turned 
Voiceover back on I was still getting the SIRI voice. I would have expected 
this to go back to the default.

Sieghard

... DIFFICULTIES WITH INCREASING LACK OF SPEECH FROM PHONE RESULTING IN TOTAL FAILURE OF 6SE

['Carol Pearson' via VIPhone]

I upgraded to iOS11 last night and certainly shouldn't have done so. I 
felt too tired and weary to battle with iTunes (my dreaded hate) so 
decided to do without since I've never been locked out with the over the 
air download.



It went well and I was back in successfully, having got rather bogged 
down with all the prelimnaries and did in fact set up the UK Siri female 
voice which was working OK for the short time I used it.



I decided to have another go at the Touch ID as I was setting up but 
still didn't get more than a couple of prints accepted. (I never can!) I 
gave it up and, very soon after this, came the problem!



I lost all speech (as I have several times lately) and *before* moving 
to iOS11! I have always eventually got in after these occasions, but 
sometimes it's taxed me when it comes to get VO to be turned on/off in 
appropriate places and correctly and the odd wrestle with volumes also! 
I have not been in a position to take my phone into the store and of 
course couldn't choose to stop using it ...



I tried recovery mode eventually without success and so I moved to the 
other computer in the house, installed iTunes and tried again! (Silly girl!)



This time my (still dead) iPhone 6 did sort of work in that it offered 
to download my music from the phone to the new iTunes on the second 
computer! Great! I thought that at least I'd have something I could use 
to salvich some of the messs!



However, I still couldn't get any speech and, because I know I have to 
just wait Apple's help to do anything further, I thought at the very 
least I'd best check up just how many folk have wrestled with 
intermittent and ever increasing voice loss even before iOS11?



In fact, it's probably best if you have that you go directly to Apple to 
alert them, as I shall do just as soon as I have enough things sorted to 
be able to do that!



Before you all offer suggestions as to how I might manage to get back 
in, let me just say that I am pretty sure I have exhausted everyone for 
one reason or another. In fact, I could well have made more progress if 
the 4S had a sim installed so I could make calls, retrieve forgotten 
information etc, but I'm not any good at changing sims so this must wait 
at least until tomorrow and, again, my only reason for writing this was 
not to expect anyone to be trying to find things I haven't done (or 
can't anyway) but to suggest that all those who have experienced 
anything like a part of this problem with VO dying should just let Apple 
know about it before you crash also!



I am beginning to think that some of this iPhone stuff is just getting 
too complicated for me now! Problem is, I can't do without it!  
Thanks to those who have read to the end!

RE: rainbow II color identifier now available

Martin, give them a phone call.  You will likely get either the visually 
impaired owner or her husband who did the design for her.

They are very nice folks to deal with. I have had  two great experiences with 
them, they are very flexible and will surely let you know what they can and 
can’t do!

RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

[Rick Alfaro]

Hi Mark. I just tried this on my 8 plus and it didn't seem to work. I double 
tapping and holding then swiping down but nothing changed with regard to that 
annoying dock. This should be an option under messages in settings IMHO.

Hello Everyone,  

As I loaned out my 6 S Plus running iOS 11, I cannot determine if there is a 
VoiceOver gesture that will allow the same option that is described in the 
article, below, but wanted to post the article anyway so that you know that it 
is possible to hide the iMessage App Doc, permanently, so long as you do not 
change iMessage apps.

CNET How To - Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 9:06 AM Hide the annoying app 
dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

One of the new features in Messages on iOS 11 is a dedicated app dock for your 
iMessage apps. You've undoubtedly seen it since updating earlier this week -- 
it's a row of app icons at the bottom of the screen each and every time you 
open a conversation.
 
I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter, and have been asked privately a few 
times about hiding it. At first, I didn't think it was possible. Then I found 
the answer on Reddit.

Hide the app dock by placing your finger on the App Store icon next to the text 
field, and swipe down. 

Poof, it's gone.

There's a caveat, because of course there is. If you use an iMessage app in the 
future, the dock comes back. But you can repeat the quick gesture to get rid of 
it again.

may have missed some things

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Even though I know I think about going back to my Android. I remember 
why I found an older iPhone I could afford to purchase.


However, I don't pay attention to every thread that comes across. I know 
I should pay more attention than I do. But I receive a lot of email.


First of all, is it absolutely necessary to use the pass code?

If so, why?

Right now I am using 1. But I find it anoying!


Also, why when I go to my messages, am I not seeing all of my texts to 
people?

Why am I only seeing a few?

And why when I go to delete a text or thread, does it put a weird word 
there? I can't spell it?


Also sometimes, I have had to tap on that weird word to see a text. But 
that's only happened once.


So what the heck is going on?


Thank you,


Terri

Re: may have missed some things

You can turn passcode off. Go to Settings and then to Touch ID and Passcode. 
Type in your code and once it lets you in, there is an option to turn it 
off. It will ask for your passcode again and once you type it in again, it 
will be turned off and you won't have to enter it again.

RE: may have missed some things

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Terri,

No, you don't need a passcode, if you are not concerned about security you can 
certainly go to Settings > Touch Id and Passcode and double tap on "Turn 
Passcode Off".
Note that you have to enter your passcode to get into Touch Id and Passcode.
I find that with Touch Id it is just as fast to unlock the phone if you set up 
the fingerprint, on a 5S or iPhone SE Touch Id is not quite as fast and 
reliable as on the 6S or later phones, but it still works very well.



It sounds like you installed iOS 11, if so then deleting a text message 
currently has a bug which is what yoou probably experience.
Does Voiceover say Null after you delete a message?
If you close the messages app in the app switcher and then open it again this 
will be gone, it's just that right now if you delete a message by flicking down 
to delete and then double tap it puts some weird blank in place. I asked my 
sighted wife and she said she doesn't see the word "Null" but it shows as a 
blank spot.
As I said, just make sure you close the Messages app and then reopen it and all 
should be fine, to avoid this from happening tap on the Edit button at the top 
left of the screen if you want to delete a message or messages. After you do 
that you can tap one or multiple messages to select them, then find the delete 
button near the bottom of the screen and tap it. You'll be prompted if you want 
to delete and after you confirm the messages are gone with no weird item in 
their place.

I still don't know if you have an iPhone 5S or an iPhone SE, maybe you can 
check that out because it helps when you ask questions. You may have to ask a 
sighted person though, don't know of a place in Settings where this is written.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It is not the Store button, initially thought that was the one as well.
First of all, make sure you are in an iMessage not a regular text message.
Now, once you are in the edit field, swipe left once and you land on a button 
called "Messaging Apps", that is the one you want.
I tried to do a double tap and hold and swipe down after I put focus on that 
button and that for me at least didn't work. I had to actually find the button 
on the screen, then do a double tap and hold and swipe down when I was on that 
spot.
If that is the same for you, just move your finger left from the edit field and 
you'll find it, if you go past it on the very outside and to the left of that 
button is the "Attach Media" button.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: ... DIFFICULTIES WITH INCREASING LACK OF SPEECH FROM PHONE RESULTING IN TOTAL FAILURE OF 6SE

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Carol,

I know this may not be of much help, but for whatever it is worth I have 
absolutely no issues with Voiceover disappearing on my 6S Plus, it wasn't a 
concern in iOS 10 and it is not a concern in iOS 11. OK, after the update 
Voiceover was gone once, but it was simply a volume issue and pressing the 
volume up button 5 or 6 times brought the volume level back up and it hasn't 
happened since.
It really does seem like people who set a SIRI voice as their default voice 
have problems with this, I suggest you set another voice as your default and if 
you want to use SIRI, add that as a rotor language. You can then switch to it 
by turning your rotor to Languages and flick up or down.
I have done this with the new american femal SIRI voice because she does sound 
veryt nice although she is too slow for me for every-day use. But I do like her 
for reading maybe news articles and so on and once I select her she stays 
selected until I go back to my default. She even stays selected if you turn 
Voiceover off and back on, I assume completely rebooting the phone may reset 
the voice to your default, but I only reboot my phone maybe once a month so 
that wouldn't bother me too much.
I assume you tried this, but have you plugged I n the Earpods or another wired 
headset to see if there is sound?

Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: ... DIFFICULTIES WITH INCREASING LACK OF SPEECH FROM PHONE RESULTING 
IN TOTAL FAILURE OF 6SE

I upgraded to iOS11 last night and certainly shouldn't have done so. I felt too 
tired and weary to battle with iTunes (my dreaded hate) so decided to do 
without since I've never been locked out with the over the air download.


It went well and I was back in successfully, having got rather bogged down with 
all the prelimnaries and did in fact set up the UK Siri female voice which was 
working OK for the short time I used it.


I decided to have another go at the Touch ID as I was setting up but still 
didn't get more than a couple of prints accepted. (I never can!) I gave it up 
and, very soon after this, came the problem!


I lost all speech (as I have several times lately) and *before* moving to 
iOS11! I have always eventually got in after these occasions, but sometimes 
it's taxed me when it comes to get VO to be turned on/off in appropriate places 
and correctly and the odd wrestle with volumes also! 
I have not been in a position to take my phone into the store and of course 
couldn't choose to stop using it ...


I tried recovery mode eventually without success and so I moved to the other 
computer in the house, installed iTunes and tried again! (Silly girl!)


This time my (still dead) iPhone 6 did sort of work in that it offered 
to download my music from the phone to the new iTunes on the second 
computer! Great! I thought that at least I'd have something I could use 
to salvich some of the messs!


However, I still couldn't get any speech and, because I know I have to 
just wait Apple's help to do anything further, I thought at the very 
least I'd best check up just how many folk have wrestled with 
intermittent and ever increasing voice loss even before iOS11?


In fact, it's probably best if you have that you go directly to Apple to 
alert them, as I shall do just as soon as I have enough things sorted to 
be able to do that!


Before you all offer suggestions as to how I might manage to get back 
in, let me just say that I am pretty sure I have exhausted everyone for 
one reason or another. In fact, I could well have made more progress if 
the 4S had a sim installed so I could make calls, retrieve forgotten 
information etc, but I'm not any good at changing sims so this must wait 
at least until tomorrow and, again, my only reason for writing this was 
not to expect anyone to be trying to find things I haven't done (or 
can't anyway) but to suggest that all those who have experienced 
anything like a part of this problem with VO dying should just let Apple 
know about it before you crash also!


I am beginning to think that some of this iPhone stuff is just getting 
too complicated for me now! Problem is, I can't do without it!  
Thanks to those who have read to the end!

Hi Gang:

I have a client who has the following problem:  when he turns off Voiceover, he 
is still able to hear keyboard letters when he touches them. This is the case 
in all fieles EG, Messages, notes, etc.

Any help would be appreciated all over the place.

Re: Creating mail foldersGood morning everyone, good morning everyone, I have lots of emails I would like to save but would very much like to get them out of my inbox. Is it possible to create folde

[Tom Lange]

Hi Donna,
Adding new message folders is simple and straightforward.  Here’s what you do:
1. While in any mailbox, locate the Back button and double-tap it to get to 
your list of mailboxes.
2. Double-tap the Edit button.
3. At the end of your folder list is a New Folder button. Locate the New Folder 
button and double-tap.
4. Locate the text field where you can type the desired folder name, double-tap 
on that field to open it and type the name for the new folder. 
5. Near the upper right corner of the screen is a Save button. Double-tap that 
button and the new folder is created.
6. Back at the Mailboxes list, double-tap the Done button, which should be 
above the list of mailboxes. That takes you out of edit mode, and you can then 
open your inbox.

When you’re back at your inbox, double-tap the Edit button. Double-tap  each 
message or message thread that you want to move.  Navigate to the very bottom 
of the list and double-tap the Move button.  In the resulting dialog,  
double-tap the name of your newly-created folder and all of the selected items 
should be moved.

I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Tom

Re: may have missed some things

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Mama Peach, Sieghard, and list,


I just wanted to thank you both for helping me. I really appreciate it.


Right now, I don't feel I need the pass code on. I rarely go to too many 
places. When I do, my phone never leaves my side. So I think for now I 
am ok without this.


Also, I am using a 5SE.

I hope this is helpful?

I will try to remember to mention this, when I write other messages.


And Sieghard, my texts were showing me just what you thought it was. 
That was so very odd!

Thank you for helping me fix it. I don't feel like I am going crazy now. 
LOL!

Re: may have missed some things

[MamaPeach]

If you are ever anywhere where you want to use passcode, just set one and 
then it can always be turned off. It is safer to use it when you are out. 
You never know when you might accidentally drop your phone or something.

Hello everyone,


Even though I know I think about going back to my Android. I remember
why I found an older iPhone I could afford to purchase.


However, I don't pay attention to every thread that comes across. I know
I should pay more attention than I do. But I receive a lot of email.


First of all, is it absolutely necessary to use the pass code?

If so, why?

Right now I am using 1. But I find it anoying!


Also, why when I go to my messages, am I not seeing all of my texts to
people?

Why am I only seeing a few?

And why when I go to delete a text or thread, does it put a weird word
there? I can't spell it?


Also sometimes, I have had to tap on that weird word to see a text. But
that's only happened once.


So what the heck is going on?


Thank you,


Terri

Thanks so much! The information you gave was incredibly helpful! Exactly what I 
needed. I’m going to give creating folders a try now.

Again, thank you very much.

Re: notifications not speaking on lock screen

[Paul Sandoval]

Hi Davy,

my setting was set to “Always” and it didn’t work, i switched the setting to 
“never” and back to “Always” and now it works like it used to. 
I will say that the phone behaved strangely for about 30 seconds when I first 
switched the setting to “Never”. 
Hopefully this helps someone.
Thanks

RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

I guess I just don't have the magic touch any more (lol)

Try as I may, following your tip to the tee, I still couldn't get that doc to 
go away. I have a tempered glass screen protector on my 8 plus. Wonder if it's 
interfering somehow? Or, is this maybe an iphone 8/8plus issue?

It is not the Store button, initially thought that was the one as well.
First of all, make sure you are in an iMessage not a regular text message.
Now, once you are in the edit field, swipe left once and you land on a button 
called "Messaging Apps", that is the one you want.
I tried to do a double tap and hold and swipe down after I put focus on that 
button and that for me at least didn't work. I had to actually find the button 
on the screen, then do a double tap and hold and swipe down when I was on that 
spot.
If that is the same for you, just move your finger left from the edit field and 
you'll find it, if you go past it on the very outside and to the left of that 
button is the "Attach Media" button.

Regards,
Sieghard

IOS11 and moving apps not working

[Marcia Yale]

I upgraded my iPod Touch to IOS11 so I could get used to any new processes
before messing with my iPhone, and I cannot seem to time the double-tap and
hold gesture to initiate the editing of apps. Every time I try it, the app
in focus opens instead of editing being invoked. Has anyone else encountered
this problem? I don't want to update my iPhone till I know this problem
won't be present.

Re: IOS11 and moving apps not working

[Michael Feir]

Hi Marcia. I've never had an issue making the double-tap and hold gesture.
Simply tap twice but keep your finger down after the second contact until
you hear a short sound and the device say "started editing" After that,
life your finger and proceed to use the rotor and Voiceover gestures to
drag and drop apps. In the accessibility settings, you can change the time
during which two taps will be treeted as a double-tap. Perhaps, that would
be helpful if you have consistant trouble double-tapping. If that works
fine for you other than with entering edit mode, I wouldn't recommend
changing the acceptable speed of double-tapping though. The trick is not to
raise your finger after the second tap.

   As was also pointed out by someone else, you have to have a light touch on 
the double tap. If you do it too hard, you envoke the 3D touch response. It 
took me a few tries to get the hang of it.

RE: may have missed some things

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Terri,

There is an iPhone 5S and there is an iPhone SE, but there is no iPhone 5SE.
If you ever have a sighted person around and the phone is out of the case you 
could ask somebody to look at the back of the phone. All iPhones have model 
numbers which start with an "A" and then are followed by 4 numbers. Below is a 
list of the model numbers for the 5S and also the iPhone SE.
Really you only need to pay attention to the first two numbers, if your phone 
model starts with A14 or A15 it is an iPhone 5S (first released in the fall of 
2013).
If your model number starts with A16 or A17 you have an iPhone SE (first 
released in March 2016). The SE looks the same as the 5S in size, but it has 
the same processor as the iPhone 6S which was released in the fall of 2015, so 
essentially it is two generations newer than an iPhone 5S although it does not 
have 3D Touch and the Touch Id sensor is the same first generation sensor you 
have in the 5S and 6 whereas the 6S has the slightly faster and more reliable 
second generation fingerprint sensor.

iPhone 5S model numbers (on the back cover):
A1453, A1457, A1518, A1528, A1530, A1533

iPhone SE model numbers (on the back cover):
A1662, A1723, A1724

Sieghard

Hello Mama Peach, Sieghard, and list,


I just wanted to thank you both for helping me. I really appreciate it.


Right now, I don't feel I need the pass code on. I rarely go to too many 
places. When I do, my phone never leaves my side. So I think for now I am ok 
without this.


Also, I am using a 5SE.

I hope this is helpful?

I will try to remember to mention this, when I write other messages.


And Sieghard, my texts were showing me just what you thought it was. 
That was so very odd!

Thank you for helping me fix it. I don't feel like I am going crazy now. 
LOL!


Terri!

RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Rick,

I have a glass screen protector on my 6S Plus as well, but it could definitely 
be different for different hardware. I think somebody said instead of a double 
tap and hold they did a harder press on the button and swiped down, maybe give 
that a try. I definitely had to tap right on that button for this to work for 
me, it's not like a double tap to activate a button where after the button has 
focus you can tap anywhere at least that did not work for me.

Regards,
Sieghard

Try as I may, following your tip to the tee, I still couldn't get that doc to 
go away. I have a tempered glass screen protector on my 8 plus. Wonder if it's 
interfering somehow? Or, is this maybe an iphone 8/8plus issue?

It is not the Store button, initially thought that was the one as well.
First of all, make sure you are in an iMessage not a regular text message.
Now, once you are in the edit field, swipe left once and you land on a button 
called "Messaging Apps", that is the one you want.
I tried to do a double tap and hold and swipe down after I put focus on that 
button and that for me at least didn't work. I had to actually find the button 
on the screen, then do a double tap and hold and swipe down when I was on that 
spot.
If that is the same for you, just move your finger left from the edit field and 
you'll find it, if you go past it on the very outside and to the left of that 
button is the "Attach Media" button.

Sieghard

   As was also pointed out by someone else, you have to have a light touch on 
the double tap. If you do it too hard, you envoke the 3D touch response. It 
took me a few tries to get the hang of it.

Hi Marcia. I've never had an issue making the double-tap and hold gesture. 
Simply tap twice but keep your finger down after the second contact until you 
hear a short sound and the device say "started editing" After that, life your 
finger and proceed to use the rotor and Voiceover gestures to drag and drop 
apps. In the accessibility settings, you can change the time during which two 
taps will be treeted as a double-tap. Perhaps, that would be helpful if you 
have consistant trouble double-tapping. If that works fine for you other than 
with entering edit mode, I wouldn't recommend changing the acceptable speed of 
double-tapping though. The trick is not to raise your finger after the second 
tap.

RE: Strange voice feadback problem.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Jim,

Do you mean he still hears the clicks or does the phone actually speak the 
letters as in A, B, C etc.
Maybe I should ask how he turns off Voiceover. If he hears the clicks then he 
doesn't turn off Voiceover, he just mutes Voiceover with a 3-finger double tap. 
The only ways to turn off Voiceover is to either go to Voiceover settings and 
toggle it off there, to ask SIRI to turn it off or if he has the home button 
configured to do it then he can triple press the home button.

RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

[M. Taylor]

Hello Richard,

I cannot reproduce your findings.  

Is it possible you have the Zoom view enabled in display settings?  Note that 
this is not the same as the accessibility Zoom tool but the Zoom that is 
offered in conjunction with Standard view in the display settings area.

Mark, 
While it is true that gesture works, did you try to reply to an email after 
doing that?
On my iPod Touch 6, the buttons at the bottom of an email also disappeared.

I had to go back to messages and double tap on messaging apps button to get 
them back.

Hello Sieghard,

Having my 6 S Plus back, I am delighted to report that a VoiceOver user can 
easily dismiss the iMessage App Doc located in the bottom row of a conversation.

To do this:

1.
Open a conversation in the iMessage app.

2.
Just to the right of the Add Media button, you will find the Messages App 
Button.  

3.
Single-finger, double-tap and hold this button and swipe down towards the 
bottom of the display.  That's all there is to it.

Please note that the Messages app button is not located on the bottom row of 
the display but on the same row as the add media button, just above the Dock.

Good Luck,

Mark

Hmm, if this means the one Voiceover reads as "Store" which I get to if I swipe

know how you can swipe down, it is already at the very bottom left of the

Hello Everyone,  

As I loaned out my 6 S Plus running iOS 11, I cannot determine if there is a 
VoiceOver gesture that will allow the same option that is described in the 
article, below, but wanted to post the article anyway so that you know that it 
is possible to hide the iMessage App Doc, permanently, so long as you do not 
change iMessage apps.

CNET How To - Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 9:06 AM Hide the annoying app 
dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

One of the new features in Messages on iOS 11 is a dedicated app dock for your 
iMessage apps. You've undoubtedly seen it since updating earlier this week -- 
it's a row of app icons at the bottom of the screen each and every time you 
open a conversation.

I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter, and have been asked privately a few 
times about hiding it. At first, I didn't think it was possible. Then I found 
the answer on Reddit.

Hide the app dock by placing your finger on the App Store icon next to the text 
field, and swipe down. 

Poof, it's gone.

There's a caveat, because of course there is. If you use an iMessage app in the 
future, the dock comes back. But you can repeat the quick gesture to get rid of 
it again.

Re: How to turn speaker on when holding phone away from face.

[Mike B.]

Hi Mr. Ed,

This is where you'll find the setting for when the phone switches to the 
speaker phone when you move the phone away from your ear, & it switches to 
speaker phone.

Settings / General / Accessibility / Voice Over / Audio

If you want the phone to switch to the speaker phone when you take the phone 
away from your ear, have this setting turned on.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

When I receive a call I can hold my iPhone 6s plus away from my face and 
hold the phone flat and the caller will come out of the speaker. Then I can 
put it back up to my ear and it will automatically come out the hear piece 
speaker. So my question is how or where do you turn this feature on to have 
it do that. I have a person that want to turn this feature on . I cannot 
find it in settings as I must not be looking in the correct place. Anyone 
have any idea’s as to where I turn this on at?

RE: IOS11 and moving apps not working

[Marcia Yale]

It doesn’t have 3-D touch, but the app in focus always opens for me. The 
strange thing is that I can get the gesture to work to invoke a share page, but 
not to get into editing mode. I just wish they would have left the other mode 
alone—add this one for those who want it but keep the other process for those 
of us who like it! I know, I’m dreaming!

   As was also pointed out by someone else, you have to have a light touch on 
the double tap. If you do it too hard, you envoke the 3D touch response. It 
took me a few tries to get the hang of it.

Hi Marcia. I've never had an issue making the double-tap and hold gesture. 
Simply tap twice but keep your finger down after the second contact until you

apps. In the accessibility settings, you can change the time during which two

Subject: Voice over and zoom bug

Hey guys! Wanted to let ya’ll know about a bug that is in iOS 11, one that 
occurred during the beta, and was worked out; however reappeared in the final 
release.

If you are both a VO user and a zoom user, you can not have both enabled at the 
same time, or you will be unable to enter your home screen into edit mode. The 
current and only work around for this bug is to have zoom added to triple click 
home, and turn it on and off as required.
Hope this is fixed soon; however, this is the best work around until it is 
solved. Personally, I find it rather amusing now that I solved the issue; 
however, it is a serious pain.

RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

[M. Taylor]

Hello Sieghard,

You are quite right.  One has to actually double-tap and hold on the precise 
icon/button in order to move it.

Whether one has to double-tap and hold or long-press the button may depend upon 
the status of the 3D touch setting.  Just a guess on that as I have not 
experimented with it.

It is not the Store button, initially thought that was the one as well.
First of all, make sure you are in an iMessage not a regular text message.
Now, once you are in the edit field, swipe left once and you land on a button 
called "Messaging Apps", that is the one you want.
I tried to do a double tap and hold and swipe down after I put focus on that 
button and that for me at least didn't work. I had to actually find the button 
on the screen, then do a double tap and hold and swipe down when I was on that 
spot.
If that is the same for you, just move your finger left from the edit field and 
you'll find it, if you go past it on the very outside and to the left of that 
button is the "Attach Media" button.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: Strange voice feadback problem.

[M. Taylor]

Hello Jim,

The issue you describe has been long documented in the Apple bug reporting 
system.  

Yes, sometimes, after disabling VoiceOver, a user will hear actual letters 
being spoken as they type.  When this happens, just reboot the phone.  

This bug has been around for a very, very long time--since iOS 8, at least.

RE: How to turn speaker on when holding phone away from face.

[M. Taylor]

Hello Ed,

As far as I am aware, what you are describing is a function of the proximity 
sensor located near the earpiece of the phone.  

Unless one is using an ill-fitting case that disrupts the proximity sensor 
functionality, what you describe will always occur.  

For the record, I have seen many, many cases that interfere with the correct 
functioning of the proximity sensor.  Usually, these are the cases that one can 
purchase from Amazon for under $4 or the ones that are sold in shopping mall 
kiosks.  

The best way to test to see if the proximity sensor is working is to remove any 
case and make a call.

This is where you'll find the setting for when the phone switches to the 
speaker phone when you move the phone away from your ear, & it switches to 
speaker phone.
Settings / General / Accessibility / Voice Over / Audio
 
If you want the phone to switch to the speaker phone when you take the phone

RE: How to turn speaker on when holding phone away from face.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ed and others,

Most of the feature has been explained. The person who said she hates it and 
wish she could turn it off can now do so following Mike's instructions, the 
ability to turn it off was introduced in iOS 10.
The only other thing I would add here and that's quite important is that if 
Ed's friend is sighted they won't be able to enable this, the automatic 
switching from earpiece to speakerphone is only available if Voiceover is 
running.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Mr. Ed,
 
This is where you'll find the setting for when the phone switches to the 
speaker phone when you move the phone away from your ear, & it switches to 
speaker phone.
Settings / General / Accessibility / Voice Over / Audio
 
If you want the phone to switch to the speaker phone when you take the phone 
away from your ear, have this setting turned on.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hi Group,
When I receive a call I can hold my iPhone 6s plus away from my face and hold 
the phone flat and the caller will come out of the speaker. Then I can put it 
back up to my ear and it will automatically come out the hear piece speaker. So 
my question is how or where do you turn this feature on to have it do that. I 
have a person that want to turn this feature on . I cannot find it in settings 
as I must not be looking in the correct place. Anyone have any idea’s as to 
where I turn this on at?
Mr. Ed
