Problem accessing file in the current version of Itunes?

2016-09-22 Thread Russ Kiehne
After updating to the current version of itunes, I can no longer seem to be 
able to access file sharing.  The other thing is, none of the apps from my new 
ipad mini 4 seem to be in itunes?

Re: Voiceover Broken on IOS 10 for iPad 4 Retina Display

2016-09-22 Thread Russ Kiehne
I had an interesting experience with my new ipad mini 4 that arrived yesterday. 
 Many of the voices that come with ios 10 didn’t show up.  I called Apple 
accessibility support and they had me shut it off and turn it back on.  Now all 
of the voices were present.

Tests show iPhone 7 with adapter sounds worse than iPhone 6s with 3.5mm headphone jack

2016-09-20 Thread Russ Kiehne
Tests show iPhone 7 with adapter sounds worse than iPhone 6s with 3.5mm 
headphone jackI ran across the following article:

Tests show iPhone 7 with adapter sounds worse than iPhone 6s with 3.5mm 
headphone jack
#iPhone7 #iPhone6s – Tests show iPhone 7 with adapter sounds worse than iPhone 
6s with 3.5mm headphone jack : With all of the media coverage leading up to and 
following Apple’s big iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus unveiling, just about everyone 
on the planet knows at this point that Apple ditched the standard 3.5mm 
headphone jack. Instead, its latest iPhones include only a Lightning port on 
the bottom.

Apple suggests that iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus owners use either wireless 
headphones or wired headphones with a Lightning connector, like the EarPods 
Apple included in the box.

Of course, there’s also a 3.5mm-to-Lightning adapter included with the iPhone 7 
series that lets you connect your old 3.5mm headphones with no problem.




Despite all the steps Apple has taken and despite the popularity of wireless 
headphones, people still have a number of complaints about Apple’s decision to 
do away with the 3.5mm audio port on its latest iPhones.

Some complaints are valid while others are a stretch, but now it looks like a 
new issue may have been uncovered that no one even realized until now.

A German magazine has run extensive tests on the audio adapter included in the 
box with Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The magazine’s goal was to 
determine whether or not there is any sound degradation when using the adapter 
as compared to the standard 3.5mm audio port on last year’s iPhone 6s.

While the article is in German and translations have varied a bit on Reddit and 
on the gadget forum where we the article was first linked, it looks like the 
tests did in fact find that sound quality is degraded when the adapter is being 
used.

A translated quote from the article:

  The results are clear: with an iPhone 6S, the dynamic range worsens by 4.5 
dB(A) for 24-bit music files. For the iPad Air, it worsens by 3.8 dB(A).

  The signal also gets worse for 16-bit music files, even if they aren’t that 
drastic: the dynamic range worsens by 1.8 dB(A) and 3.1 dB(A) for the iPhone 
and iPad, respectively.




And here’s a chart that shows the full results from the tests:



Now, before rage overcomes you and you smash your new iPhone 7 against a wall, 
you should know that these results aren’t terribly troubling.

Without diving into a technical explanation, the bottom line is that the 
difference is going to be completely imperceptible to most people. Even 
audiophiles with an incredible ear for sound won’t notice the difference unless 
they’re listening to high-quality 24-bit audio files.

While streaming music through services like Spotify, or while listening to 
compressed sound files in popular formats like MP3, not even the snobbiest 
sound snobs out there will be able to tell the difference. Source: BGR

Re: iFixit teardown reveals exactly what replaced the iPhone 7’s headphone jack

I found more info:

iFixit iPhone 7 Plus teardown reveals waterproofing details, battery size

iFixit has posted its 
complete teardown of the iPhone 7 Plus 
. As usual, the report confirms some specs and reveals a few new things. The 
dimensions of the new device are identical to those of the iPhone 6s Plus, 
although the report confirms that it’s slightly lighter than its predecessor. 
A1785 is the new model for the iPhone 7 Plus. The report also confirms that the 
headphone jack removal did indeed make room for the new Taptic engine, as 
Apple executives revealed last week 
, and that the second lower speaker grill is entirely cosmetic. 
The teardown also reveals that Apple is now using less common tri-point screws 
to secure some components, which iFixit concludes are simply used to hinder 
third-party battery and screen replacements. The headphone jack has also been 
replaced by a molded plastic component that appears to channel sound into the 
microphone, or out from the Taptic Engine. An x-ray of the Taptic Engine 
revealed a tiny linear actuator, some springs, and a weighted core. The battery 
in the iPhone 7 Plus is now rated at 3.82V and 11.1 Wh of power, which works 
out to 2900 mAh of capacity — an upgrade from last year’s 2750 mAh cell, but 
still a slight step down from the iPhone 6 Plus’ 2915 mAh version. The camera 
array includes two 12MP cameras, and the teardown confirms that only the 
wide-angle camera incorporates optical image stabilization. 
In terms of chip sets, the iPhone 7 Plus includes the expected Apple A10 Fusion 
CPU with a bump to 3GB of RAM, and a collection of radio and controller chips 
from Qualcomm, Skyworks, Avago, Universal Scientific, Texas Instruments, 
Toshiba, Murata, NXP, Cirrus Logic, and more. The teardown also revealed the 
areas where waterproofing has been applied, including strong adhesive strip 
sealings, more stickiness in opening the iPhone 7 Plus, the camera lenses being 
built into the chassis, substantial gasketing on the Lightning cable assembly 
and around the SIM plug and tray, and ingress protection on the speaker grills. 
However, the new model still includes a water damage indicator inside.

  What IPX rating does the Samsung phone have or is it waterproof by virtue of

  Short of making the iPhone 7/7 Plus swim proof and giving it the same rating 
as the Apple Watch, IPX7 is as far as I can tell from Googling these standards 
the best there is, the test requires a device with IPX7 rating to survive being

  So they have this new taptic engine, and some plastic piece. Now why did they 
have to take the headphone jack out if Samsung did not in order to make their 
galaxy even more waterproof them apple's device? That is a reasonable question 
I think. I am not arguing for the return of the headphone jack. But it would 
seem that it is not as simple as Apple would have  us think. Further, let us 
hope that this new engine stays around long enough to actually prove useful as 
opposed to the traditional home button. Rumors are already flying about how 
even the button that remains this year, which is attached so to speak to the 
new taptic engine, is going away next year.

  As it does every year, device repair site iFixit is putting all of Apple’s

the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and Apple Watch 2. As usual, Apple leaves some

From the little I've heard, you're better off using the iOS Kindle app. 
Amazons voice assistant thing for older Kindles is lackluster, at best. You 
have much more flexibility over reviewing text with VoiceOver than you do 
with Amazons clunky, bolted on solution.

Yikes! That's not good at all, Jonathan! At least there's a way to recover from 
the problem, but still.

I recently downloaded iOS 10 Without the Eye onto my iPhone, and I can say that 
the only features that are concerning to me are not having the playlists tab in 
the music app, and the revamped threaded view in mail. I think I want to hear 
some really conprehensive audio of how this feature works before I upgrade. I'm 
not saying it's a bad feature, but it does have me a bit leery. And as for the 
playlists tab in music, I got the impression that I could still easily access 
them with the press of only one button, since the, library tab is now selected 
by default upon opening the music app. I'm also very much looking forward to 
having contracted Braille feedback when using BSI!

Ari

Re: Is it correct, that the third generation Apple TV will not get iOS 10?

2016-09-13 Thread Russ Kiehne

And theres this:

Report: Apple phasing out third-generation Apple TV

Although Apple didn’t discuss Apple TV hardware at yesterday’s event, the 
company may be taking steps to gradually phase out the older 
third-generation Apple TV. According to

9to5Mac
, Apple has reportedly been pulling stock of the older Apple TV from its 
retail store shelves, with employees being told to ship them back to Apple. 
Links to purchase the device also appear to have been removed from the 
company’s online store, making last year’s new tvOS-powered 
fourth-generation Apple TV the only box in the lineup. Although the 
third-generation Apple TV has no expansion capabilities beyond the 
“channels” that Apple chooses to add on the back end, at $69 it does make 
for a useful entry-level device into the Apple TV ecosystem, as well as an 
inexpensive AirPlay video receiver or secondary Apple TV box that could be 
used in an alternate room in the house. At this point, the fourth-generation 
Apple TV still begins at the much costlier $149 price point.

got a 6S plus with 128 gig of storeage, so I won’t be getting a new phone right 
now.  I am a bit surprised that nobody has mentioned what’s new with iOs 10, 
other than when it will be released, and I’ve heard absolutely nothing 
regarding TV OS.  I’m curious if Apple will be releasing an app for the Apple 
TV similar to Sling TV, and if so, will it be more accessible?

 

Just curious.

Sent from my iPad yesterday, the Sero program came as a rebranding and

stuff that used to be available on the old Sam net, which I no longer 
subscribe to. However, I don't see any of the formerly free and updating 
content that was part of the old iBlink radio. Does anybody know what 
happened to that material and whether it is still going to be aggregated and 
offered in one place for free under the Sero umbrella? I have absolutely no 
interest in any other system access product. I blink radio was a nice 
service, because it had a lot of relevant things for blind people in one 
place. If that's gone, I wish they would have made it clear. If it's not 
gone, I wish they would've kept it labeled clearly so people could find it. 
Any help is appreciated.

  It's too bad you can't copy music from the SD card into the music folder on 
your actual device. The blurb for the app in the App Store mentions PDF, but it 
doesn't say anything about compressed files or EPUB files. They do give a 
website.

Is this possible? Does Apple release the interface specifications for
their devices? If so, are these free or do you have to pay Apple a fee
to acquire and use such specifications?

Hi!

I'm going o answer to the original post here since I've lost the topic
thread.

I agree Freedom Scientific, GW Micro and NV Access are responsible for
how will their respective products will interact with different kindsof
software on Windows compatible PCs.

However, I don't agree they are completely responsible. Software
developers have the means and ability to make their apps more simple,
more accessible and more hookable to some standards so the screen
readers can use the most of the app interface with no further adjusting,
making scripts, set files or external modules.

iTunes, as an app in question, is way complicated and graphically
furnished than it should be for its purpose. Long story short, iTunes is
just a player with ability to synchronize with iDevices, nothing more
nothing less and it could be much, much simpler than it is.

Regarding its design, basically it has left side with some kind of tree
view with various categories and the right side with options, settings
and controls for selected category. Tis can easily look like Winamp
Preferences dialog or Jaws Settings Center, both accessible and usable
to the core.

OK, now someone will tell Winamp needs some Jaws scripting which is true
and it is obvious Jaws Settings Center has to be accessible but similar
dialogs found in other apps are not screen reader supported and still
are accessible. Right now I can think of Settings dialog of Utorrent,
Free Download Manager and there are tones of apps with this kind of
interface.

If the app is designed in some standards screen reader will have a
better chance to interact with it and Apple is the first who should know 
it.

Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.4 Has A Nasty Surprise

2016-08-24 Thread Russ Kiehne
Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.4 Has A Nasty SurpriseI thought many of you would be 
interested in the following article:

Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.4 Has A Nasty Surprise
The iPhone 7 is very close and the all singing all dancing iOS 10 will come 
with it. But right now most iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users are on iOS 9.3.4 
and Apple has confirmed to me it contains a nasty surprise that, for millions, 
will never be fixed… 

‘Great Features’ and ‘Nasty Surprises’ are my regular columns investigating 
operating system updates for the best features / biggest problems hidden behind 
the headlines.

The problem in iOS 9.3.4 is an incompatibility between VoiceOver and voice 
dictation which is hitting disabled and, in particular, blind users hard. In 
short: with VoiceOver enabled (it describes everything on your screen with a 
triple press of the home button) voice dictation is broken producing duplicate 
and often muddled words - notably when quick replying to messages in the 
notification centre.

 iOS 9.3.4. Image credit: Apple 

Having been contacted by several blind users about this problem, they told me 
the only workaround is to turn off VoiceOver, turn on dictation, speak, turn 
off dictation then turn VoiceOver back on. This is about 10 steps and 
unfortunately for the blind, turning off VoiceOver is a very risky move yet 
voice dictation is essential. 

Perhaps the most interesting aspect to all of this, however, are claims this 
feature has been broken since the original launch of iOS 9 in September 2015 
and Apple has not attempted to fixed it in any subsequent upgrade. 

In response I contacted Apple and the company confirmed to me the fault does 
exist in iOS 9.3.4, though it would not say if the bug could be traced back 
further. Apple also had good and bad news for affected users.

 VoiceOver is iOS is crucial for disabled iPhone and iPad users, but it breaks 
voice dictation - an equally important feature for them. Image credit: Apple 

The good news is the bug will be fixed in iOS 10 (and is already fixed in the 
latest iOS 10 public beta). The bad news is there are no plans to fix the bug 
in iOS 9 and with iPhone 4S, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd gen and iPod touch 5th gen 
users not entitled to iOS 10 upgrades, users of those devices will be left with 
the bug until they buy something new.

Needless to say this won’t be a problem for many users who upgrade regularly, 
but as one blind user told me: typically their need to have the latest cutting 
edge products is greatly diminished. 

Consequently if Apple can fix the bug in iOS 10, I’d argue the company should 
also fix it in iOS 9 before leaving a generation of devices and a subset of 
users stranded. This would be a commendable way to sign off an version of iOS 
well known for its high profile problems, before the company moves on to its 
latest and greatest iPhone and iOS plans...

In my case, I zip the files for the following reason:

Two interesting things I've found with VDR.
1. You don't have to zip up your mp3 files to to get them into VDR. It's great 
if a book has lots of small files that are only a few minutes long, but if 
they're longer files, like those from GrapicAudio, I don't bother zipping them. 
I just stick the mp3's into Dropbox and follow the same process as you would 
for adding a zipped book into VDR.
2. VDR can apparently handle m4a files. I have a sample of Ivona Amy that 
someone (I think it was Richard Turner from this list) gave me, and it's in m4a.

  If you sync your phone with iTunes, you can tell iTunes that certain 
files are to be treated as books. You can even set things up so that your 
iPhone remembers the position in the file. If you select multiple files at 
once, you can even do the changes in batches. I think the command to get into 
the info editor thing is still control+i. Hope this helps.

   

  Like another poster mentioned, you can always put the books as a zip file 
into Dropbox and open them in Voice Dream Reader. Also, if the book only has a 
few files, and they're quite long, you can always just drop the mp3's directly 
into Dropbox without zipping them first, then import them into VDR. I do this 
with GraphicAudio books, which tend to have rather long files.

is the best way to ggo.

Oh, joy. Again? Apple really, really needs to get their crap together when it 
comes to iTunes for Windows. I'll try it today with NVDA and JAWS and see what

  If you sync your phone with iTunes, you can tell iTunes that certain files 
are to be treated as books. You can even set things up so that your iPhone 
remembers the position in the file. If you select multiple files at once, you 
can even do the changes in batches. I think the command to get into the info 
editor thing is still control+i. Hope this helps.

   

  Like another poster mentioned, you can always put the books as a zip file 
into Dropbox and open them in Voice Dream Reader. Also, if the book only has a 
few files, and they're quite long, you can always just drop the mp3's directly 
into Dropbox without zipping them first, then import them into VDR. I do this 
with GraphicAudio books, which tend to have rather long files.

   

   

  Thanks,

  Ari

Hi!

Yes, you should convert multiple mp3s as a single m4b file so the original 
single files could represent chapters in m4b.

I tried some apps and I wasn't satisfied with those so I also look forward for 
recommendations.

Jerry,



I'd agree with Sieghard that if you have mp3 audiobooks you're wanting to
get on your iPhone, Voice Dream Reader and Dropbox are the easiest 
solution.
You can copy the zipped mp3 books into an appropriate Dropbox folder on 
your

computer and easily add them to Voice Dream using the app.



I don't know if you're a US citizen but if you are, the BARD Mobile app is
excellent for getting books from the NLS BARD service provided you are a
citizen and have established a BARD account.

Good afternoon everyone!



I am getting desperate now!  I have tried everything I can find to get 
audio

books onto my iPhone.  I even bought iExplore because it said you could
mount the folders like a windows drive, but no luck!  I also bought the
JTunes scripts for iTunes, and can't get to the audio books from there
either!  If anyone can tell me how to put audio books on my iPhone 6 from 
my

Windows 7 PC, I would be very grateful!



I had not wanted to jail-break my iPhone, but if that is the only way, I
guess I can try that…  please send any ideas you have!



Thanks,

I’m looking for a recommendation for one of the USB drives which comes with a 
lightning connector and app designed to be accessible on an Iphone and standard

  The previous messages I’ve found on this group mentioned a brand/model named 
Ibridge, but said it wasn’t entirely accessible, but it would be soon.

Can anyone say if it is accessible now, or if there is a brand/model which is 
accessible?

 

Thanks.

OK, Apple Fan Girl forever and all, but I can’t resist a bargain and I got 
one of those bottom of the range Fire tablets for GBP60 including case and 
SD card so I thought it would do for places I wouldn’t want to take a nice 
Apple thing.


I have managed to plug it in to charge, but now I’m a bit stuck. I realise I 
will have to get a sighted person to switch speech on, but does anyone know 
of any resources I could check out? My MBP is refusing to read me the 
on-line instruction thing, no doubt on grounds of good taste.


BTW, I know it’s only cheap, but my goodness me, what a difference even in 
the packaging from Apple.

Re: Questions regarding the IPod

2016-07-30 Thread Russ Kiehne

Here is a lot more info on this app:


LibriVox Audio Books Pro provides free access to over 15,000 audiobooks and 
thousands of radio dramas with no ads.  Each audiobook can be streamed over 
the internet or downloaded for later use.


Audiobooks from LibriVox are free thanks to the dedicated work of hundreds 
of volunteers who record, edit and distribute the books.  New releases are 
prepared daily, and the entire catalog spans the breadth of world 
literature, including novels, history, biography, short stories, poetry and 
more in both fiction and non-fiction.


The LibriVox Audio Books app makes it easy to search for free audio books, 
as well as classic radio dramas.  You can browse by title, author or genre, 
look at new recordings, or search by keyword.  Because the books are free, 
you can listen to as much or as little of a book as you like with no cost. 
The app remembers your position, so when you return to a book later, you can 
start listening at the place where you left off, and includes a sleep timer 
for your convenience.

Hello everybody,

Well, I will not be getting an iPod after all.
I called AT&T, to see when I could upgrade my phone. I want more memory 
on my phone. I was told I could upgrade in February. I don't know if I 
will upgrade now. But I might. Anyway, when I was talking to the lady, 
she told me that they were running a great promotion on tablets. I told 
her then I would blind, and that I did not want an android tablet because 
I didn't feel they were very accessible.
So she looked to see what she could offer me. She said she could offer me 
an iPad mini, but it was the second generation. I don't know much about 
iPads, so I asked her what the latest generation was. She told me the 
latest generation wasn't for. So I told her that's what I wanted. I know 
I will be paying on it for a while, but the payments were small. So I 
decided to go with the 64 gig model. I thought that would give me plenty 
of space to do whatever I wanted to do. I got it in silver.


It should arrive in about five days. I'm very excited about this! No I 
don't feel so over whelmed, when it comes to making a decision as to what 
kind of device to get, or not to get.


In a little while, I will write a post and ask about iPads. Like I said, 
I don't know much about them. So I need to learn some things.


Thank you all for all of the help and support. I really appreciate it

Thank you, and have a great day!

Hello everybody,

Well, I will not be getting an iPod after all.
I called AT&T, to see when I could upgrade my phone. I want more memory 
on my phone. I was told I could upgrade in February. I don't know if I 
will upgrade now. But I might. Anyway, when I was talking to the lady, 
she told me that they were running a great promotion on tablets. I told 
her then I would blind, and that I did not want an android tablet because 
I didn't feel they were very accessible.
So she looked to see what she could offer me. She said she could offer me 
an iPad mini, but it was the second generation. I don't know much about 
iPads, so I asked her what the latest generation was. She told me the 
latest generation wasn't for. So I told her that's what I wanted. I know 
I will be paying on it for a while, but the payments were small. So I 
decided to go with the 64 gig model. I thought that would give me plenty 
of space to do whatever I wanted to do. I got it in silver.


It should arrive in about five days. I'm very excited about this! No I 
don't feel so over whelmed, when it comes to making a decision as to what 
kind of device to get, or not to get.


In a little while, I will write a post and ask about iPads. Like I said, 
I don't know much about them. So I need to learn some things.


Thank you all for all of the help and support. I really appreciate it

Thank you, and have a great day!

Hi Russ,
You are certainly right about the iPad mini and the battery life. With the 
screen off, it really does last a long time. It certainly does sound better 
then the touch, but you know, I don't think it sounds any better than my 
iPhone. That is kind of strange, since it does, nominally, have stereo 
speakers. I'm not familiar  with that other audible book reading app that 
you talked about. How is it compared with audible in terms of selection and 
price? Can you get books as inexpensively and are there mostly duplicates 
with audible? I have been pretty happy with audible, especially considering 
the cost of a credit is still slightly under $10 if you have the platinum 
plan.

Hi Terri,

As Christopher already said, the only iPod that can run iOS 10 will
be the sixth generation, the fifth generation stops at iOS 9.
Probably not a big concern for now if all you want to do is run
Spotify, listen to Audio books and so on.
Personally I think it's a waste of money, if you don't want
notifications while you listen to a book or music just bring up
SIRI and say "Turn on Do Not Disturb".
As far as getting stuff onto the iPod Touch it is identical to an 
iPhone.

Yes, you can use Dropbox or any number of other cloud services to
access stuff inside their apps, but if you want the music app then
iTunes is the only way and if you avoid iTunes with your iPhone
then you will also avoid it with the iPod Touch.
I started out with an iPod Touch in 2009 and then got the iPhone 4
in 2010. A month or two after I got the iPhone I sold my iPod Touch
because it was just sitting in the drawer. The same happened when I 
bought my 6S.

I kept my 5S at the time and thought maybe I use it at home for
Audible and stuff like that, but I just never did because I prefer
to use one device instead of two which essentially do the same 
thing.

Hi Terry,

according to Amazon.com the new 32 gig iPod Touch 6th gen is
selling for $242. There are used models listing for as little as 
$174.


Using some sort of cloud backup such as Dropbox to transfer files
in and out of your iPod will be very slow as you will have to
upload the large files to Dropbox then download them into your
iPod Touch. Learning to use iTunes will make this process much,
much faster--when iTunes becomes more user friendly.

You should really, really try to get the newer 6th generation
because if you buy the older 5th gen it will be of little use to
you going forward since it will no longer be upgradeable to newer
versions of iOS--you'll be stuck with iOS 9 the remainder of the
time you own this device--you will regret it.

Hello Richard,

Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. I would
wait and save up money to get the six generation model, but it is
hard for me to save up money. So that is why I am taking what I
can get. Maybe there is not the greatest idea. But I know if I
wait for a while, the prices for the sixth generation will
hopefully go down. So by then, maybe I will be able to afford one.
But for now, I don't really want to wait on that.

In all honestly, I don't put anything on my iPhone right now. It's
only a 16 gig model, so it cannot hold much. I do read some stuff
through to noon, and I listen to stuff through Spotify. That was
supposed to be tuning in. Also, I do have voice reader on my 
phone, as well as dropbox.

But I use dropbox more. I do plan to put all these programs on my
iPod, once I get it.
But the books, and the movies I would be putting onto the iPod,
are currently on my hard drive. So maybe I could put them into
dropbox and look at them that way on the iPhone? I don't know. I
would do anything not to have to use iTunes. Right now for my
phone I have it sync on Wi-Fi. Maybe that is not the best idea?
But I will admit, I do not know how to take things off my phone,

I almost didn't read this because the subject was very vague.  I took

I've not been an RSS games player, but this might be worth checking 
out.

Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS version of its 
service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly Software 
features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the 
conventional Blindfold series of games.
While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that 
are free include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games 
come with a free 7 day trial which starts the first time you launch 
them, whether you play them right away or not. Once your trial expires 
on a specific game, you can then continue to use it via an in-app 
purchase. All other games that are currently on the RS Games Server 
are available for purchase. The prices on games ranged from $2.99 for 
a few of the games, up to $5.99 for monopoly. There are also bundles 
available which allows you to save a few dollars. You can pay for 
unlimited access to all games for $37.99. After downloading the app, 
you will find more details under the upgrades button.


This news will have players excitedly downloading the games, the 
developers encourage players to check out the User Guide under the 
help button before trying to play. From the limited testing I've done

Hello Richard,

Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. I would wait and 
save up money to get the six generation model, but it is hard for me to save 
up money. So that is why I am taking what I can get. Maybe there is not the 
greatest idea. But I know if I wait for a while, the prices for the sixth 
generation will hopefully go down. So by then, maybe I will be able to 
afford one. But for now, I don't really want to wait on that.


In all honestly, I don't put anything on my iPhone right now. It's only a 16 
gig model, so it cannot hold much. I do read some stuff through to noon, and 
I listen to stuff through Spotify. That was supposed to be tuning in. Also, 
I do have voice reader on my phone, as well as dropbox. But I use dropbox 
more. I do plan to put all these programs on my iPod, once I get it.
But the books, and the movies I would be putting onto the iPod, are 
currently on my hard drive. So maybe I could put them into dropbox and look 
at them that way on the iPhone? I don't know. I would do anything not to 
have to use iTunes. Right now for my phone I have it sync on Wi-Fi. Maybe 
that is not the best idea? But I will admit, I do not know how to take 
things off my phone, or really put them on there. I've never done it. Thank 
you again for your help. If you have any more advice, or suggestions, I 
would really appreciate that.


Have a good night!

Terri

iTunes will show that you have two devices and you can select the one you 
have plugged in and only put certain things on it.

You do not have to enable mail on the touch.
I would strongly recommend, however, that you consider saving up for the 
iPod Touch 6th generation.
I don't know how much longer Apple will support the 5th generation and as 
one who has owned both, the 6 is worth it.
For your mp3 books, are you using Voice Dream Reader or just treating them 
as books through iTunes?


Audio described movies will show up in the video app if you are 
transferring them with iTunes.  Or, are these just mp3 files from Blind 
Mice or somewhere?  If just mp3 files, again, Voice Dream Reader would 
handle them fine and you can get them on your device through DropBox 
rather than going through the pains of iTunes.


I too have an iPhone and an iPod for similar reasons.  I wanted to have a 
device dedicated to listening to music and reading books.  I find I do 
other things with it, but those are the main two things.


Enjoy,
Richard

Subject: Questions regarding the IPod

Hello everybody,

I am considering purchasing an IPod Touch, 5th generation. I do not want 
the latest one, because I feel I just can't afford it. But also, I don't 
think I need all those features.


So here are some questions I have.

Do I have to activate male on the IPod. I receive my mail on my phone, and 
I really do not want it in both places.


Also, I have a lot of audio described movies, is there a way to add these 
to the IPod?

If so, how would I do this? Would they go in to a certain folder?

Also, I have a lot of audiobooks in MP3 format.
Would they have to go in to a certain folder as well?
I guess my main question is, can any MP3 file be put on the IPod?

Once I add something, is it easy to remove?

Also, how do I keep photos off the IPod?
Again, I want these to stay on my phone.

My reason for wanting to purchase an IPod, is so I can listen to stuff 
without interruptions.. For instance, I have a Spotify account. I want to 
put the app on my IPod, and listen to the music from my Bluetooth speaker.
Right now, when I listen with my phone, even though I mute the phone, some 
notices still come through. Even with the screen locked. So I am tired of 
this, and do not want it anymore.


Any help with all this will be much appreciated. I may have more questions 
to come. Especially when it comes to ITunes. I really dislike that 
program.


Thank you,

Terri

OK, I tried it, with no success!  Codex says it removed the DRM, but didn't.  I 
tried it by first trying to have codex itself remove the DRM and convert the

If you use iTunes you can more less simply copy the files in the apps 
supporting file sharing feature plus you can copy paste music files in the 
library without syncing, you just need to check the option named "manage music

A search in the App Store for old time radio will get you quite a few OTR 
apps.  Way back in the 60's when I collected OTR on reel to reel tapes, One 
show that I really liked was Adventures By Morris.  I was able to find the 
complete series along with the Lone Ranger X Minus 1 and more.  So, it 
appears that there are several really good apps for OTR.  Some let you 
stream the show or download it.  Sense I was connected to WI-FI I just 
listened to the episodes.  Somebody has spent a lot of time cleaning up many 
of the shows.  Also they have included notes about the date the show was 
aired and how long the searies ran.  Even a couple of years back when I 
searched the App Store for old time radio, there weren't that many choices 
like there is today.

I've been downloading podcasts with iTunes since the last version of 11 and 
versions up to the latest update.  As far as I can tell, Apple has made it 
impossible now to download podcasts without considerably more discomfort.  I 
cannot find a way to collapse and expand particular podcasts for convenience of 
getting from show to show and now the dates of the shows are harder to find.  
Where I used to be able to get the latest several numbers of the Blind Bargains 
shows for a couple of weeks and dump them on a card for playing on a stream, 
they no longer show up show by show.  If there's a way to rearrange this, I'll 
be happy to hear it.  
Good luck.

What's the difference between the Lifeproof and Otterbox cases for Ipad Mini 4?

If anyone has used one of these cases, how do you like it?
Which one is the better between the two of them?

Re: Can you play a mp3 book on Voice Dream Reader?

I don’t think I can send a 600mb file by email!  I do what you said when I sent

Right, but it is so much easier to double tap and hold on the link to the zip 
file in an Email and just open it right into Voice Dream Reader.
Then you never have to save the file on your computer and deal with iTunes.
For anyone that updated to iTunes 12, this is far easier since iTunes 12 has 
made using file sharing stupidly difficult.
Just my opinion.

once there, go into VDR and where it says Add, and from there Dropbox; Search

Sorry, but it's not the job of the screen reader manufacturers to make 
iTunes accessible, it's Apple's; from what I've been hearing about the 
latest iTunes update, they've failed rather spectacularly regarding 
accessibility. Doing anything with apps has been a problem in iTunes 12 from 
the beginning. Ringtones still work like they used to, and I wish apps would 
go back to being checkboxes that you could check or uncheck, and then hit 
the apply button to sync or remove them from your device. Also, file sharing 
in iTunes 12 has gotten really, really crappy!

Hello Rick,

I spent quite some time using iTunes 12.4 on my Windows 10 laptop with the

Now I say this realizing that one's mileage may vary depending upon how 
they use iTunes.


I was certainly able to obtain and manage various resources from within 
iTunes but the overall experience was, somehow deflating, to say the 
least.


Having said this, I have full confidence in the developers of both Jaws 
and Window Eyes to step up to the proverbial plate on this and smooth out 
the rough-edges.


I am sadden, however, at the fact that those of us who use Windows 
screen-readers can so easily lose access to what has become a vital tool 
even with all of this so-called marvelous technology around us.


I am not going to get on my soapbox, here, but this kind of thing is 
exactly what motivated me to purchase my first Mac 7 years ago.

Hi Mark. Perhaps visually, it may look like the old sidebar but from a

is enabled but not even close IMHO. In addition, several lists are broken 
where focused isn't being voiced as you arrow throught them.

If you didn't know it, it's back and looks almost like it did in iTunes 11

Yep, it's true.  From the View menu, select Show SideBar.

The option to either show or hide the SideBar is only available when not in

Hello Everyone,

I am posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries Mailing List.

I am so surprised that no one has mentioned the return of the iTunes SideBar 
in iTunes 12.4.  (smile)


If you didn't know it, it's back and looks almost like it did in iTunes 11 
and earlier.


Yep, it's true.  From the View menu, select Show SideBar.

Enjoy,

Mark

continue Reading, but further on down the page, as if the stop never

So long, Siri: How to get Amazon Alexa on your iPhone

2016-05-09 Thread Russ Kiehne
So long, Siri: How to get Amazon Alexa on your iPhoneIs the following app 
accessible with voiceover?
So long, Siri: How to get Amazon Alexa on your iPhone
 
Apple's virtual personal assistant Siri was unquestionably a groundbreaking 
feature when it first debuted on the iPhone. It got off to a rocky start — of 
that, there is no question — and people still run into aggravating problems 
every day with Siri. But Siri has improved dramatically over the years, 
expanding its functionality and growing more accurate along the way.

Then, Amazon surprised us all when the Echo speaker came out of nowhere and 
introduced the world to Alexa. And now, Alexa has finally leapt off of Amazon 
hardware and onto Apple's iPhone and iPad for the first time.



Some believe that Alexa was intended to become a core part of Amazon's 
smartphone and tablet offerings, but the company's plans were derailed in light 
of the fact that the Fire phone was a spectacular flop. Perhaps as a result, 
Amazon instead released a line of dedicated speakers including the Amazon Echo 
and more affordable Amazon Tap.

The Echo and Tap serve mainly as delivery mechanisms for Alexa, which is 
Amazon's own take on Siri. Alexa is controlled by voice just like Siri, but its 
focus is on shopping and connected device controls, in addition to providing 
answers to questions a la Siri.

Alexa is no longer confined to the Echo and Tap now that Amazon has given 
developers access to various APIs, and the killer software feature is now 
finally available on Apple's iPhone and iPad lineup. Amazon's assistant arrives 
courtesy of a third-party app called Lexi, which is immediately available for 
download in the App Store.

Simply install the $5 Lexi app and log into your Amazon account, and you'll 
instantly gain access to Alexa. Ask questions like "what's the weather like?" 
or "what time is the Yankee game?" and Alexa will serve up answers in no time. 
Of course, you'll also be able to enjoy Amazon integration, so you can order 
products or add items to a shopping list with simple voice commands like "add 
toilet paper to my shopping list" or "buy more toothpaste."

Keep in mind that more control is proportionally equal to less security. There 
is a reason why there is so much mal ware and stuff out there affecting the 
Android platform and very little plagues iOS. I know there are a few Android 
fan boys and girls on here and I am probably going to generate outraged 
comments with this, but the facts are the facts. I don’t want to say that iOS 
is perfect since nothing is, but I gladly have a secure phone over one which 
allows me and everybody else along with it to do whatever I want with it.

I think iOS has come a long way in the last 3 or so years in making it more 
open with extensibility and all that without seriously sacrificing the secure 
“walled garden” concept.

I have no idea which dual USB-Lightning flash drives have accessible apps
since I have no plans or interest in buying one. Most of them are very

You can access whatever information is on the USB drive, but only via
whatever app goes with the drive. You cannot, for example, put music on the
drive and then get this music to show up in the music app or, for that
matter, even copy it to the internal storage of your iPhone. Ringtones is
another example where you either have to buy them from iTunes so they are

From what I understand, with using dropbox, you first have to upload the

file to the cloud.  Then you would use your Ios device to download the file
from the cloud.  I have a number of zip files that are 600mb in size.  This
would take a while to upload to dropbox.  Using a flash drive, the transfer
would be a lot faster in my case.

I have no idea which dual USB-Lightning flash drives have accessible apps
since I have no plans or interest in buying one. Most of them are very
expensive compared to just an equivalent USB drive of the same size and the
limitation of only using the app doesn't get me very excited. Anyhow, as far
as I can tell I can do anything these flash drives can do with Dropbox or
OneDrive both of which I already have installed and use.

You can access whatever information is on the USB drive, but only via
whatever app goes with the drive. You cannot, for example, put music on the
drive and then get this music to show up in the music app or, for that
matter, even copy it to the internal storage of your iPhone. Ringtones is
another example where you either have to buy them from iTunes so they are
available on the iPhone or you have to use iTunes to sync them to your
phone.
The thumb drives are really no different than Dropbox or OneDrive in that
they are a way to access files stored on them by the app just as you can
access information stored in Dropbox or OneDrive with the Dropbox or
OneDrive app. Only difference is that with Dropbox or OneDrive the files are
in the cloud and with the USB drives they are physically on the drive which
you then have to plug into your Lightning port.

It’s great it’s working that well for you, but for me with Window-Eyes, I am

did not, and even now I could not duplicate whatever it took to break my

Hi Carol,

 

iTunes has a few areas that are difficult to deal with, mainly iTunes file 
transfer and syncing apps. Everything else is actually not that difficult and I 
always wonder why there seems to be an almost awe-like fear of iTunes.

Syncing apps is also easily done, it’s just that it used to be easier and 
primarily it was easy to go through your entire list of apps, check the ones 
you wanted and then sync them to your iPhone all at once. Now it’s easiest if 
you use the search box and type in the name of the app you want, then tab a few 
times to where you hear “Install” and then activate that, then activate “Apply” 
or start a sync. I just did a bunch of apps this way on the 6S we got replaced 
and which my wife now has.

Music and ringtones can still be selected and synced easily and doing updates, 
restores and backups is also not difficult.

I also find navigating the iTunes Store relatively easy with Jaws 17. I can 
still search for an app or a song or an artist and press Control+Enter instead 
of just enter to search the iTunes store instead of my local library. Then I 
just wait a bit until the page loads and you can use headings to go to the 
different areas like “Songs”, “Albums”, “iPad Apps”, “iPhone Apps” etc.

I have been meaning to try Mark’s suggestion and use the Jaws touch cursor to 
see how that helps, but for the most part F6, tab, Control+F and the shortcuts 
for the various media libraries like Control+1 for music, Control+2 for movies 
etc. work very well.

 

 

I do agree that it’s a shame that the iCloud website hasn’t been made 
accessible by a company that prides itself on accessibility, but iTunes is not 
nearly as bad as many people make it out to be.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi all,

I wonder, seriously, if it's time to talk with Apple about this.

We almost all hate iTunes with a passion, ... and it's not surprising! It's 
really unfair that VI's should have to put up with this all the time ... It's 
so bad that Apple should let such a standard exist for those of us who really 
need iTunes to be straightforward, work flawlessly out of the box, have minimal 
changes made and ... heaps more!

We could all write to Accessability but, before we do, can some of those who 
are knowledgeable perhaps give us all the things that don't currently work or 
were broken with iOS 9? Then we could write individually, perhaps.

Does anyone know if there are strong enough feelings within Applevis for those 
who are obviously probably more clued up than the average iTunes VI user about 
the problems and would back us in a meaningful way?

If anyone feels they could draft anything appropriate for us to tweak then that 
may also be worth it before sending, so that we don't all say exactly the same 
thing!

Perhaps they should be encouraged to write an app specially for us that really 
works, that can only be used with an I device which is obviously running 
VoiceOver (so could be detected). Yes, OK, theoretically, others could turn on 
VO just to use the programme, and I guess some would as many sighted people 
hate it - but maybe there are other safeguards Apple could write into the 
programme, perhaps even being prepared to give us a special ID code.

Well, I've opened a can of worms here and please remember these are just 
thoughts off the top of my head ... so let's keep this thread going awhile!

away with!

Hi Russ,

I am not saying it won't work for you, just that I have different needs. 
Obviously people are buying these drives and I assume find them useful. Most 
of my files are already in OneDrive or Dropbox and in my case I am talking 
about files that are business related so I don't really need to make them 
available offline. I guess if you are a heavy user of Voice Dream Reader 
where you have potentially large files you want to save to Voice Dream 
Reader one of these drives could be handy.

  I have never used iTunes for windows, because I have a Mac. However, if 
friend of mine was just told by an Apple accessibility senior representative 
that window eyes works with iTunes for windows and is the only screen reader 
which Apple says does that. I know that a few years ago, and it literally has 
been years, GW micro had been touting this fact. But I know a lot of changes 
have happened with both window eyes and iTunes since then I suspect that this 
is the case of apple not keeping their propaganda, I mean their publication, 
up-to-date. So for you who use Windows version of iTunes and screen readers two 
questions. One, Is it true, WE users, that iTunes works perfectly well with the 
latest version of window eyes? And two, what about other screen readers? Do any 
work well?

Subject: More voice dream fun

Hi folks,
In further experimenting with my voice dream, I decided to move a whole 
bunch of ethnic cookbooks on my iPad into an ethnic cookbooks folder. I went 
through the entire list of all items selecting all of the ethnic cookbooks. 
Then I did the move process. And voice dream crashed after a while. When I 
went back into the app, I found that some of the books had been moved into 
this folder, but all had not been. I opened my iPhone after closing the app 
on my iPad and discovered that none of the books had been moved into this 
folder. This app is definitely worse since the upgrade. If I could get the 
old app back again with my folders I would forgo iCloud sink, which seems to 
be a bigger pain in the butt than it's worth and has caused nothing but 
problems. I know it was thoroughly beta tested. But for me, it's been a 
disaster. I had really look forward to iCloud sync. But clearly, it's not 
working right.

You can do either, though file sharing does not work exactly as before.
As soon as you add a file to the Voice Dream folder in iTunes, it transfers 
automatically according to Winston, this is different than before.
You can also use iCloud Drive and add things to the loader folder under 
Reader.

Hi,

Just to add to Richard's information below: I had to deal with this a few 
weeks ago when I needed to back up my VDR library. I had to do an awful lot 
of tabbing in order to get past all my apps and to find the file sharing 
options. I found the process rather inaccessible and I kept receiving an 
error message from iTunes when I tried to copy the library, having finally 
managed to locate it.


Winston recommended that I use a program called iExplorer, rather than 
iTunes. It's available on both Mac and Windows and it allows you to navigate 
your devices and iTunes backups with an interface which is a bit like 
Windows Explorer, and certainly a lot easier than iTunes for this purpose. 
I'm pretty sure it was free, and it should allow you to paste content into 
the Documents folder in Voice Dream on your device. Obviously your device 
has to be connected to the computer, with iTunes running.


HTH,

Nicky

Below I've copied the What's New from the app store for Voice Dream 
Reader.
Read it thoroughly before updating. Also, if you have Voice Dream Writer 
as well, there is an update for it to enable the improved Voices from 
Voice Dream.

Happy Reading.


'This is a massive update which improves just about every aspect of the 
app. We rewrote everything down to the very core to support these new 
features, which is why it's taken more than a year. Thanks for your 
patience.


All new features are free. We love our customers.

Your current library will be updated. We recommend that you backup your 
library using iTunes on a PC or Mac before installing this update. 
Detailed instructions can be found on our website under support.


Please write a 5-star review in the App Store. And buy an extra voice 
for fun. We'll be grateful.


A Beautiful New UI
- Grid view and cover images in the library.
- Improved library organization: filters, flags, and sort order.

- Experimental rich text and image support for all documents.

- Pac-Man. Harvard and MIT developed speed-reading method for everyone 
to read at 2x speed with no loss of comprehension.
- Sentence mode which pauses at every sentence. Useful for beginning 
readers.

- Repeat document.
- Option to rewind to beginning of the last sentence when you pause.

New Voices
- Alex, free high quality voice in iOS 9.
- New premium child voices from Acapela in US, UK, and Australian 
English, US Spanish, and German.

- Acapela's new flagship German voice: Claudia.
- Emotive variations of Jeroen, Antoine, Margaux, Dimitris and Will.

Other New Features

Re: how to put audio book on iDevice

In that case, you’ll have to use itunes file sharing to transfer the zip file

My first recommendation is to make sure the file names are sequential so that 
the computer sorts them from 1 to 10. Then, zip them into a file with the file 
name being the title of the book.
Then, put that zip file on DropBox, and use Voice Dream Reader to import the 
file.
What you will end up with, is a book that has 10 chapters and it will always 
start where you leave off and you can adjust the playback speed quite easily.

Otherwise, I'd recommend using some other application to convert them into 
properly tagged m4b files which iTunes will see as an audio book.
People have recommended applications for that, but I personally don't use that 
method.

If you really want a helpful answer, you need to give more information.
What format is the book?
What is the source of the book?
Where do you have it now?
That all would help.
Richard

  Hello list
  I know this was discussed previously but I can not remember the steps, so 
that play would resume where one stopped. I use the latest version of iTunes.
