If you have the ringtones on your computer use iTunes to add them back to your 
new iPhone 8.

New to BARD Mobile and have a question

2018-10-10 Thread Jim Weiss
All,
I recently obtained an active subscription to BARD and have a quick question.  
I was able to download a book to my iPHone using the app and so far all is 
well.  When I am done reading the book do I check the book back in or simply 
delete the book?  I see that if I swipe up on the book there is an option to 
delete it from my bookshelf, but I am not seeing a check-in option.  I would 
hate to lose borrowing privileges because I am not returning books.
Thanks in advance,

Jim Weiss

There is nothing for you to manually clean-up after an install.  Once you have 
a good install on the device the installer performs the clean-up.
Keep in mind not all developers do a nice and tidy clean-up, Facebook comes to 
mind.  My current Facebook app is consuming 1 GB of space on my 8 Plus.  The 
only real way to reduce that back down to about 140 MB is to delete the app, 
and download the app again.  Since I typically do a DFU reset on my phones once 
a year I typically don’t worry about apps that don’t clean-up nicely after 
themselves.

Re: How many GB is IOS 12?

2018-09-25 Thread Jim Weiss
The download sizes vary between the different devices.  For example I have an 
iPhone 8 Plus and an iPhone 8 and there are two different downloads required 
when updating each device.
I have updated my 8 Plus and the download to disk was just shy of 4 GB, my 
updated phone shows that the iOS is using almost 10 GB on the actual phone.  
The downloaded file is a compressed file which is extracted, installed and then 
cleaned up.  The physical install file is still on my Mac hard drive, but any 
temporary files used during install should be cleaned up after a successful 
install onto the phone.

Re: apple tv and streaming television

2018-09-17 Thread Jim Weiss
I just bought an Apple TV within the past 3 weeks.  Here has been my experience.
Sling TV (this is not Sling Box) was completely non-accessible.  Hulu provided 
the best experience, but not perfect.  Direct TV Now has the most options, but 
the app on TVOS is pretty much a mess even for the sighted user.  I did install 
the Direct TV Now app on my iPhone, and it is very accessible so I just use 
Airplay from my iPhone to my TV and it works very well.  I just need to keep my 
iPhone on the charger while watching TV.
I am very interested in hearing what others have to say on this topic as it is 
very new to me as well.  On Applevis.com <http://applevis.com/> several people 
liked YouTubeTV and they had the same offerings as Hulu.

Re: Newest 3 iPhones, Radios and Modems

2018-09-14 Thread Jim Weiss
Buying an unlocked iPhone directly from Apple should allow you to connect and 
move the phone between all of the US carriers.  In the past moving a iPHone 
between carriers was hit or miss.  For example an iPHone 6S that you purchased 
from Sprint could be moved to Verizon or AT, but moving it to T-Mobile could 
result in spotty coverage.  The iPhone 6S from Sprint was missing a few of the 
LTE bands that T-Mobile uses on their network.  An unlocked iPHone from Apple 
contains everything it needs to connect to all of the carriers.  I personally 
think that carriers did this type of thing on purpose to make it even more 
difficult to move to a new carrier.  I am not sure if the FCC got involved 
somewhere along the way, but the newer the phone the easier it seems to be able 
to move across carriers.

Matthew,
3D Touch is being illuminated going forward, it is different than the haptic.
The iPhone SR has a different type of screen, it also does not have the same 
cameras as the iPhone XS and 10 as Max. Thus making it the cheaper of the three 
options.

Don,
Have you tried to reboot the phone?  Apple can log into your phone, but it has 
to be unlocked and working because you have to accept the incoming request.  If 
you can connect to iTunes, you may be able to toggle voice over off and back on.

If you wanted to stop from going between portrait and landscape, you need to

Re: Seeking Advice on Upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone SE

2018-09-05 Thread Jim Weiss
Sieghard,
Thanks for the corrections, but as far as everything else most of this is 
speculation.  My point was to sit tight until Apple makes their official 
announcement next Wednesday.  Apple will do as Apple wants to do.  I have read 
several speculations on the web that a revised SE will be announced which could 
speed up the end of life process for the current SE, not to mention Apple has 
had offered new products in the March time frame.  With the announcement just 7 
days away, my personal opinion

Re: Seeking Advice on Upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone SE

2018-09-05 Thread Jim Weiss
Craig,
With the announcement from Apple next Wednesday regarding all of the new 
hardware you may just want to sit tight.  First off the price may drop even 
lower than $100, but as Apple announces new products they also roll existing 
products into end of support and end of life.  If Apple stays consistent iOS 12 
will probably be the last version that will run on the iPhone 6 and probably 
the SE since they are basically the same hardware just in a different form 
factor.  That being said the iPhone 7 will probably drop in price as it will 
technically be the 4th oldest version after the 9/12 announcement.

Re: saving passwords with the iphone

2018-08-29 Thread Jim Weiss
Keychain is built into iOS, and is encrypted.  Just make sure it is enabled in 
your iCloud account and Safari will prompt you to save your credentials when 
you log into a website.  Keychain can also automatically generate a secure 
password for each website.  That being said password managers don’t always work 
for every website.  If the website developer did a poor job of creating the 
site the password manager may not recognize the fields for your username and 
password and will not autofill the fields.  Unfortunately there is nothing you 
can do to fix that issue, except write to the developer and ask them to write 
better code.

Re: apple watch series 3

2018-08-27 Thread Jim Weiss
This information won’t be on the Apple website until the official announcement, 
but if you search the web you can find links.  Today there were a lot of leaks 
dropped, such as the official announce date will be September 12, and what they 
expect Apple to announce.  The Apple Series 4 is expected to be announced at 
that time.
