I will. I just need a good, easy to follow, book or tutorial of some

i'm also struggling.  Try pressing the button next to the digital

I have downloaded the online manual but even that's not particually

IT REALLY WORKS AND A CAUTION

2018-11-28 Thread 'Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi all,


Here's a quick story which should get you all laughing but it has its 
serious side as well! Yes, it is about the use of the emergency callout 
following a fall! ...



The trouble is, in my case it wasn't a fall but an attempt to act as 
conductor at our evening song practice. There I was sitting on an arm 
chair, beating time vigorously, and then the watch on my wrist came into 
action. Yes, I was through to emergency with a number of friends 
listening in! 



I have realised that I must never use my left hand as a drumb whilst 
wearing my watch.



Be careful, everyone, but be prepared to explain (or not) about the 
music practice which resulted in such an action!

ONE PASSWORD HELP, PLEASE

2018-10-23 Thread 'Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi all,


I abandoned this some time back, being unable to progress very far. 
Well, I now have added passwords, it seems, via Keychain and have come 
across a password which is repeated elsewhere - "Unsafe," I accept this 
is the case!



Okay: Now how do I fix it, please?


Is via KeyChain the best method to take to add passwords?


Can I now expect that One Password will auto-fill any site I visit that 
I have passwords entered, or is there still more for me to do to allow 
this to happen? If this is the case, please explain any steps I should 
now take.



Forgive the questions, but we all have to start somewhere and I'm not 
very clued up on these sort of things!



Thanks for any help offered.

APPLE WATCH QUESSTIONS

2018-09-27 Thread 'Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi all,


I'm beginning to look seriously at the I-watch with a keenness to 
purchase soon. I am wondering about the following:



In view of the amount of mail we get, is it a bad idea to think of 
putting email onto the watch? I have no idea about the space needed 
and/or available after everything else is installed.



I have had a number of falls lately and this was a good idea for my 
current circumstances. I was however a bit disappointed that the sleep 
function, available on various phones, is not yet really ready for the 
iWatch. Never mind, you can't have everything at once ... or there's 
nothing good to look forward to!



I'd also be interested to know what people really like to use their 
watch for instead of the phone and anything that really doesn't work 
well for you.

Although I managed to listen to all of the presentation, I usually very

Re: Schedule of Free Training Courses Now Available - Please Read

2018-08-30 Thread 'Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi Clifton.


I'm Carol Pearson from the UK.


I'm very interested to have a stab at the first of your courses, already 
being used to VoiceOver but not with the TV itself.



I understand this course will be twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday 
afternoons.. Would you therefore kindly add me to the Apple TV course 
and let me have further information about how, exactly, to link up with 
you for the course.



I note, from your message, that you suggest the courses will commence at 
2:00 PM but I am still not quite clear where, exactly, you are placed, 
and so what that means in practice time-wise. Perhaps you could be kind 
enough to clarify this for me.



Thank you, and I look forward to hearing further from you.


Carol Pearson (Mrs).

that course, and I felt that the response to it was overwhelming.


I’m now excited to announce that I will be offering more free

benefits to planning now.


First off, I’ll be offering four major courses over the next year. 
They are as follows:


Replacing Your Traditional TV with Apple TV: four sessions, one 
session per week, beginning Tuesday, October 2, 2018


Living the Connected Digital Life: Four sessions, one session per 
week, beginning Tuesday, October 30, 2018


Learn VOiceover In and Out: eight sessions, two per week, beginning 
Tuesday, January 22, 2019


Learning Voiceover In and Out, Section B: Eight Sessions, two per 
week, beginning Tuesday, February 19, 2019


IPad for All Computing: 12 Sessions, two per week, beginning Tuesday, 
April 16, 2019


The courses which have two days per week will be held on Tuesdays and 
Thursdays. All courses will be held in the afternoon, with exact 
start times to be decided. Plan on somewhere around 2PM or 2:30 PM 
Eastern. Sessions will last for two hours.


As with prior courses, each course is completely free and is 
available to everyone, sighted and non sighted alike. As before, 
courses will be held in Zoom, with an accompanying set of materials, 
offered as iTunes U courses, with the exception of the Apple TV and 
Connected Digital Life courses, which will require only small 
handouts rather than complete iTunes U courses.


I’ll provide descriptions of each course below. What I’d love is if 
people would start sharing this entire email with your friends, 
family, co-workers, etc, and on any other relevant lists you may 
belong to. Additionally, please let me know which courses interest 
you. You can reply to this message with any questions, or you can 
email me off list to simply express interest in any courses. Now for 
some general descriptions:


The Apple TV course was sort of requested by several participants in 
this year’s iPad course. It will be designed to offer participants an 
overview of what the Apple TV can do and how to use it. We will then 
get into various options for making the Apple TV your complete living 
room device, cutting the cord, streaming, etc. what about local 
channels? How about sports? What does it cost? How many people can 
watch at the same time? On and on. We’ll answer all the questions we 
can, with a particular emphasis on Voiceover use as well. You do not 
need to own an Apple TV to benefit from this course. Even if you are 
just mildly interested in it and want to explore what’s out there, 
we’d love for you to join.


The Connected Digital Life will explore in-depth how to make all your 
devices work for you no matter where you are. We will spend lots of 
time on all the iCloud features and services, such as iCloud Photo 
Library, iTunes in the CLoud, iCloud Drive, and many more. We’ll 
discuss iCloud Keychain for password and credit card autofill, Apple 
Pay, continuity, multiple devices together, HomeKit and home 
automation devices, and much more. Anyone with an iPhone, iPad, iPod 
Touch, Apple TV, Apple Watch, HomePod, Mac, or any combination of 
these devices should benefit from this course.


The Voiceover In and Out course is something I believe many are 
looking for. You’ll notice I’m offering two sections. This is because 
I intentionally want to keep enrollment small and look at the 
students to best Taylor the course to individual needs. This will be 
perfect for anyone who has never used an Apple device and wants to 
learn about it, or anyone who has just gotten their first Apple 
device. Additionally, those who have been using Apple products for

I think I recall that Jonathan Mosen used to play Scrabble from a distance some 
years back ... Well, whether or not, you may have some input on this for me, 
Jonathan; but I'm hoping others have. Which of the Scrabble options (if any)

*How to easily transfer iPhone music to a computer using WinX MediaTrans*

TechRadar - All the latest technology news  /  Sponsored

Image removed by sender.

It’s amazing to think how much information we entrust our phones with. 
From photos of amazing life events, to specific songs that bring 
memories rushing back, the sentimental value of our data is massive.


How worrying then, that we store it on a device that’s so prone to 
breaking. Throughout its life a phone faces many dangers, from wet 
weather to drops onto hard surfaces that can leave them completely 
inoperable.


You shouldn’t take that risk when it comes to your data, and regularly 
backing it up is a routine you should absolutely have. Just a couple 
of minutes spent every week will mean that if the worst should happen, 
you’ll still have access to all those memories that you’ve spent years 
accumulating on your device.


iTunes works in a pinch if you want to keep a copy of your files, but 
for our tutorial today we’re going to be using WinX MediaTrans 
. It’s a very versatile piece of 
software that allows you to easily backup your music (other file types 
such as photos, videos, ringtones, voice memos and ebooks are also 
supported), and includes a range of features to keep your files in 
good condition, including allowing you to easily edit artist and album 
info.


So without further ado, here’s how to transfer your music to a computer.


  1. Free Download WinX MediaTrans

There are two versions of WinX MediaTrans available, a free version 
and a premium version. Upgrading to the premium version 
 (lifetime licenses) 
allows you to transfer unlimited files per day and also unlocks a host 
of other features such as allowing you to remove DRM from tracks 
. 
You'll also benefit from improved performance in lifetime free upgrade.


*We’re going to use the free version of the program for this 
tutorial*but you’re free to upgrade at a later date if you want to use 
its expanded features.The company offers a 30-day refund program if 
you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase.


Head on over to the official website 
 and click the ‘Free Download’ 
link to get the installer, and then run it to get the program 
installed on your PC.

  2. Plug in your iPhone

Image removed by sender.


  3. Select 'Music Manager'

Once you’ve got the program up and running, select the ‘Music Manager’ 
option from the main menu.


Image removed by sender.

You’ll see a page prompting you to plug your iPhone into your 
computer, so do so now. You’ll need to tell your phone to trust your 
computer to continue, and you might have to enter your passcode to 
prove it’s you.


Image removed by sender.

At this point the software will disable auto-sync on iTunes to prevent 
the program from automatically erasing your data. Remember to 
re-enable this later if it’s a feature that you use. You’ll also have 
to close iTunes at this point (if you do not have iTunes on your 
computer, then this window won't pop up).


Image removed by sender.


  4. Transfer your music selectively or in a batch

Any music stored locally on your iPhone will be auto-detected and 
shown in the MediaTrans window.


Image removed by sender.

Check that the track details are all accurate (if not you can change 
them by hovering over the file and clicking the ‘Edit Music’ button), 
and once you’re ready it’s now a simple process to tick the boxes next 
to any songs you want to transfer to your computer. Select ‘Export’ 
from the row of icons on the top, and then click ‘Continue’ on the 
next screen.

Re: Really confused about how to move apps now since updating to iOS 11

2017-12-22 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
Yes, Mary, I found it pretty baffling at first but now really like it 
and use with ease.


You will get there, honestly.

Perhaps you could try to write down your steps and we could look at 
what's going wrong.


I certainly was sometimes trying to do the old way with the double tap 
and hold.


I hope you sort it soon but do come back if you still have problems. I 
found it infuriating that I couldn't do this basic task for a few days.


Happy Christmas to you and all!

Hi Mary,

It sounds like you go on the app you want to move, start editing mode 
but then right away go to the folder where you want to put the app. 
You forget the one step which is after you start editing mode and 
while you are still focused on the app you want to move you flick down 
to drag and double tap that.


As somebody pointed out, in iOS 10 this used to be called “Move”, the 
nice thing is that in iOS 11 you can drag/move multiple apps at once. 
After you start editing mode and have focus on the first app flick to 
Drag and double tap, now go to another app you want to move or maybe 
you want to create a new folder and also flick down to Drag and double 
tap. Each time you do this Voiceover says you added this to the drag 
session and once you have all the apps marked, now go to the folder 
you want to add them to, flick to Add to Folder and double tap.


It works like a charm and I have not heard anybody say it wasn’t 
working and now in iOS 11.1 the “edit” option is there again, prior to 
11.1 you had to double tap and hold on an app like in the old days and 
now with devices which support 3D Touch quite a few people who maybe 
tend to tap their screen quite hard had problems with this because 
instead of starting editing mode they would invoke the 3D Touch 
shortcut menu.

 The problem seems to be that once I put focus on the News folder, the 
ad to folder thing just isn’t there. I get an option to add the folder 
to the drag session, which I certainly don’t want to do. It’s just 
screwed up.

Hi Mary,

Drag is the new move.

So, flick to drag after you start editing and double tap.

Then, go to the folder you want to drop it into and flick down
until you get to add newsline to folder.

Then you may here "drop ready" and then double tap and it should work.

HTH,

So I started edit mode. But then when I flick all I see is
drag. But double tapping and trying to move doesn’t get the
job done. What the heck are you supposed to do to move file
into a folder. Color me confused.

If anyone actually has one, I'd really like to know how it does with patterned

Re: Siri is still pretty stupid

2017-12-15 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
Yes, Mary said it very well for us all! I too feel there are just too 
many occasions when you ask a simple question and he/she just doesn't 
understand and give a meaningful answer. I'm tired of being asked if I 
want to read something on the Web. I want Siri to go on speaking what 
he/she reads because that's why I've asked for his/her help, because I 
want the information and I want it quickly!


At present, most assistants have this quirk when sometimes they know an 
answer or how to do something and other times they just say they don't 
know. As others have said, Siri was the first and he/she should be 
leading the way for sure!

Well, Siri, since I already gave you the street name of the store 
name, and I know there is only one such on that street, why don't 
you just give me the phone number I asked for in the first place? 
Google does this and so does Alexa. But good old Siri still can't 
get this right even in iOS 11. Come on Apple. This is pretty 
elementary stuff. What the hell did you do with all your work on 
Siri, anyway? Have other people found improvements to Siri in the 
real world? I know it can do all sorts of music trivia about which I 
care not. But what about real world situations? You know, like when 
you want a phone number and don't want to engage in meaningless 
back-and-forth with your so called Assistant?

Re: Using Siri for email

2017-12-08 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
I find I can only dictate a few sentences and then Siri buts in with 
"Ready to send" and I haven't said all. My normal dictation (not asking 
Siri) gives me long enough and at least I can stop and start. I only use 
Siri for the very short messages but certainly don't find him flexible 
enough.


How do others feel?

THE ROTOR - IS IT TIME TO THINK AGAIN?

2017-11-13 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi all/,

I have been noticing that, with the increase of features and upgrades, 
so too have there become more rotor actions that, perhaps, I might want 
to use, so I have put them there but found that often the rotor needs a 
fair amount of turning to get to a particular option right in the 
middle. I know some people find this movement harder to accomplish than 
others and, whilst I find it easy enough to do, I am finding that this 
has become more tedious as the rotor is used now for so many different 
options. I have also noticed that, because the rotor works round in a 
list, though it doesn't actually do full circle, there are times when an 
item that has been selected just does not show up on the rotor because 
it's obviously just hit that part where it's not visible, or something 
like that.


I am wondering if the time has come for some thought on the part of 
users and technicians alike to take some time to convey things in a 
different way, perhaps even with two rotors so that items can be placed 
into two separate groups. I'd be interested in any experiences and/or 
thoughts others have had concerning this.


For example, a lot of the rotor items needed for web searching aren't 
necessarily needed when writing a text or an email, so perhaps two 
groups with a way to jump easily between them could work.


Anyway, let's see how this grabs everyone - or not, as the case may be!

Re: Please join me in asking Apple to make rotor options consistent again and to fix the delete rotor bug which they say is not a bug

2017-11-13 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Sieghard,

Ever since I began reading mail on an ipod, I have actually started by 
opening a message and flicking up with two fingers to read from the 
cursor position. This was often exactly where I wanted to be. If not, 
after positioning the first message, this has worked consistently for 
me. When I have finished with the mail, I simply have double tapped the 
delete button on the message to send it away to the trash, or moved as 
required. My box of messages remains opoened and ready for the next one.


I still do this so avoid probably most of the problems you seem to be 
having and it works fine for me.


I appreciate though that people want consistency and I am finding, for 
example, that there are inconsistencies in other areas with regard to 
the rotor settings, so perhaps I'll address those in the next post.


Carol P - UK

On 9/29/2017 6:56 PM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote:


Hello List,

There has been a fair bit of discussion on a change Apple has 
implemented in the Mail app whenit comes to using the rotor to delete 
messages. In the past and ever since Apple has introduced rotor 
actions, a marvellous invention, the behaviour of the rotor has been 
quite consistent.


Usually you check your Inbox, some messages you don’t even open before 
you want to delete them, others you might read and want to delete 
afterwards, no matter what, you would normally flick up once when ona 
message in the Inbox, this would put focus on the “Delete” option and 
now you simply double tap and the message is deleted.


This is the same in the Messages app, it works if you want to delete a 
Favourite in your Phone app, a recent call and you can use it in many 
other places.


After the message or whatever you are deleting has been deleted, for 
years the normal behaviour was that “Activate” has focus again. This 
of course makes sense because if you flick through the available 
options, “Activate” also tells you that it is the default option so of 
course you would expect that whatever you do focus returns to it so 
after you delete a message and if you now want to read the next 
message all you have to do is double tap and it opens up.


Now in IOS 11 Apple has decided that in the Mail app only the rotor 
should behave differently. Mind you if you go to your Inbox and flick 
through the available rotor options, when you get back to activate it 
still says “Activate, default”


However, if you flick up to delete and double tap to delete a message 
and then double tap again expecting you are going to open the next 
message in focus you are sadly mistaken. Apparently the term “default” 
doesn’t apply any more and all you just did is delete the next 
message. Oops, it was an important message you wanted to keep or reply 
to? Well, no problem, just back out of your Inbox, find your delete 
items, find the message and move it back to the Inbox, then back out 
of deleted items and go back to your Inbox. Why, thank you Apple, you 
just made my day, I didn’t count how many taps and flicks, scrub 
gestures and swipes this takes, but it’s of course ridiculous.


We all know how engrained keystrokes and by now taps and swipes become 
when you get used to something, it makes no sense to make “delete” the 
default action especially if it still says “Activate” is the default. 
I also wonder what’s next, what if Apple decides this should also be 
so in the Messages app? If you accidently delete a text message with 
important information like maybe the link to the boarding pass you 
just sent to your phone after checking in to a flight online then you 
can’t just tap, swipe and scrub for 30 seconds to get it back, it’s 
gone for good which is why allowing Apple to get away with this sets I 
think a dangerous precedent.


Looking at the issue from that perspective is concerning and I think 
it is one of these times when everybody and I really mean everybody 
even if you don’t use the Mail app on the iPhone should send a message 
to accessibil...@apple.com  asking 
that the default action which is “activate” is restored, it may not 
effect you this time, but maybe next time Apple changes something it 
will effect you and we need to speak up and let Apple know that we 
prefer a consistent, polished UI and experience over random and 
unexplained changes which make no sense to anybody. Come on Apple, Tim 
Cook and others point out at every keynote how Apple can do things 
others can’t because you have complete control over both hardware and 
software, you claim that your devices and software are superior 
because of the consistency in the UI often even when you go from iOS 
to Mac OS, TV OS and Watch OS so put your rotor actions where your 
mouth is and fix this so it is once again consistent.


I am going to do something I usually don’t do because I respect the 
owner’s wish not to discuss beta software. However, in this case I 
will say that after installing the iOS 11.1 Public Beta this behaviour

I think I may have answered this earlier, but have just had a thought.
Every time I have found the keyboard missing, in the last resort I have 
rebooted the phone and the keyboard has returned. I hope that works for you if 
you haven't tried it already! If not, sorry, I am out of suggestions…

Re: Extra tone when exiting apps

2017-10-26 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi List,

I’m surprised none of you with sensitive ears have brought this up, 
but in iOS 11 when you press the home button to close an app and 
return to the home screen, the little tone you hear now plays twice. 
It plays when you press the home button, then Voiceover speaks the 
name of the app you are on and immediately afterwards the little tone 
plays again.


I find it mildly annoying although I’m sure I get used to it. I just 
emailed Apple Accessibility about it because as far as I am concerned 
that is a bug unless theytell me it’s by design. If the latter then I 
wonder why, on the one hand they got rid of the “Screen Locked” 
announcement in iOS 10 and replaced with a fairly unremarkable sound 
which I personally like, on the other hand now in iOS 11 they 
introduce extra noise.


And since we are on the topic of noise, how many have enabled to hear 
a tone for upper case letter instead of Voiceover saying “Caps”? I 
like the idea, but I find the brassy tone they have assigned to this 
quite abbrasive and think it would be nice if they replaced it with 
something more pleasant like maybe a raindrop sort of sound or, even 
better of course, let them give us a choice of 3 or 4 tones for this.

Sieghard

OK, I think I've understood all I need to regarding how people can make 
the ChromeCast work, and that has helped me to realise that I may havfe 
left my mirroring on! Well, perhaps I'm OK because they were only 
interested in the music. I was thinking it would deal with other file

connected to your TV and you have Netflix on your iPhone, you can pick a movie 
or show in the app on your phone, send it to the Chromecast and at that point 
the Chromecast which is of course connected to your WiFi streams the content 
and you could actually completely turn off your iPhone and the movie would 
still continue to play/stream.
You can not save any music or other media to a Chromecast.

I have a ChromeCast Audio which has the 3MM audio jack on it. You'd connect it

One thing I should have mentioned, is that once you start the streaming to your

You can go back into the app your casting though and cancel the casting.


There's an app on Android called Google Home that allows you to control your

When casting from an app, only the audio or video from that app is sent over to 
your ChromeCast. Your TTS is not sent over. There is an option in Google Home

Basically, you buy a Chrome Cast device which you add to your wifi network and

TACKLING THE FILE APP IN iOS11

2017-10-08 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi all,


OK, I've been taking instruction from Jonathan's book and set out to do 
some practice on moving, renaming and deleting files. I haven't found 
the experience that enjoyable but am getting there and have managed, at 
least sometimes, to achieve my goal. I have also attempted every action 
I can to get into the new way of working. (By tomorrow I may well have 
forgotten it all!)



Anyway, I have a few things to say and would be glad if others chime in 
with their experience also.



First, I have found it's really essential to keep the phone as straight 
and still as possible or the editing procedure is all too quickly 
terminated. Maybe I need to alter that setting which I can't now recall 
it's name but think I can find it. Any advice? I have also found that, 
quite often, the process of renaming a folder has been interrupted and 
terminated before I'd finished.



One thing that I have noticed on two or three occasions is that the 
keyboard has not been present when I've got the instruction to rename. 
Has anyone else seen any of this behaviour, please?



I have one more question about the file app. Does anyone else find it a 
little arduous when you are looking on your phone, see a file you want 
to use in some way, only to learn that it's in the Cloud, so you then 
need to copy it, presumably, before writing into it. Perhaps someone 
could confirm this behaviour? I am also interested to know if others are 
having problems in identifying where their files are exactly, e.g., 
Cloud or on the phone.



Please excuse these (possibly) elementary questions but they're based on 
my practice earlier today. I look forward to any replies on this one.

Re: Please join me in asking Apple to make rotor options consistent again and to fix the delete rotor bug which they say is not a bug

I’m sorry, I have probably missed a message or two somewhere…
I am not sure exactly what you are meaning here. What is wrong with it?
I will certainly report it if I can find it to be true, but I have no idea 
quite what’s happening! :-)

personally like it. It behaves as the app switcher did in iOS 10. Also, 
regarding the comment about restoring a deleted item, shake your phone, and you 
will, magically, have an “undo Trash” dialog box. If Apple isn’t allowed to 
change its OS, why should they pay attention to us at all? When we whine and 
complain about a change that could significantly improve productivity, why 
should Apple make its operating system more accessible and better for us?

iOS 11 - Programmes that are updated to 64 bit and those that aren't!

2017-09-29 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
After upgrading to iOS11 and my total crash that ensued an hour later,  
I had to restore some programmes from the Store. I found one or two, I 
really wanted to use, that were in the App Store for update and, for 
some reason, weren't in my iCloud drive, despite the fact that this was 
up to date before the upgrade! I restored a couple and found they didn't 
work. The problem was that, although very recent files said something 
like "Updated N Days ago" I did not notice it on others as the upgrades 
were not so recent. I was surprised, honestly, that Apple hadn't 
prevented these from loading. One of these, my bank app, really annoyed 
me as that was the one I really wanted to use! Had I been aware of a way 
to check my important apps before upgrading, I would have held back and 
contacted the bank first ...



Anyway, now it's done, Is there an easy way, please, to check each app 
that I go for and determine whether it will/won't work without having to 
download it?

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

2017-09-25 Thread &#x27;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: voice over stops working after using Siri

Hi all.  From time to time my voice over will stop working, particularly after

doesn’t seem to have any effect. This happens once every day or two.  Not 
horrible, just annoying.  Is there anything I can do to alleviate the problem?  
I’m running IOS 10.3 on an IPhone 7.  Maybe the problem won’t happen after I 
update to IOS 11.  Thanks for your input.

Re: Device to transfer stuff to the iPhone

2017-09-01 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
Hi there,
I think the app you're talking about is iMazing. (Note, there's no letter I
in the word. It's just a small letter i followed immediately by Mazing,
with a capital M. I had intended to to try it myself some months back but,
because my husband was so ill and needed 24/7 attention for some time, I
decided not to do so at that point. However, I have now downloaded it and
am all set to go when I find the time for playing which isn't quite yet as
I still have heaps of paperwork and unread messages to get through.
There was someone on the list who didn't use it often but had it and used
it occasionally. I can't remember the person's name, I'm afraid, but maybe
you'll get more answers.
If you don't, give me an email (in case I should lose yours or something)
and I'll try to help as I do now intend to take a serious look at it.

I've kept this on list, just in case anyone else is interested in following
this thread but can take it off if there appears to be no further interest.
By the way, it's my understanding that the app is free for individual users
and I have received a code to insert so can be ready to go very soon.

I do hope this helps a bit.

You can read more or get the app to install from

I remember a while back, some one on the list mentioning an Ap.  That you

I would agree, it's a real pain! I have really not got there yet either I have

Re: Bluetooth Keyboard repeating letters

2017-04-05 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
I have always found that turning off VoiceOver (with the 3 click setting) and 
then turning on again does solve them.

Hi,
Unfortunately the suggestion that you have made about turning off the repeat

I have contacted Apple several times, and they have not changed this situation

The only thing that seems to work, is to turn off the phone and then turn it 
back on when trying to use a keyboard. And sometimes this does not work either.

Just as Tom who did the Podcast I have not yet gotten the WiFi sync/transfer to 
work, it may take a sighted person since you have to first connect the iPhone 
and click on a "gear icon" which does not seem to be accessible. This is sort 
of a settings area where you first have to enable the wireless connection. It 
does state in the FAQ that this feature is still in beta, but then again I 
never found iTunes WiFi Sync to work very reliably or, if it worked, to be very 
fast.

I have checked for coupon codes and while there maybe better ones out there, I 
did find one, "WELOVE7LABS" which when you enter it during checkout (without 
the quotation symbols of course) will give you 5% off, it is only $2, but then 
again $2 is better than $0.

Also, all messages where the sender's email is displayed in the "From" field I 
can use the Jaws 18 key combination Jaws
Key+Shift+R to respond directly to the sender instead of to the

2017-03-15 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Hi there.


I've just listened to the podcast, which I note was done a little while 
back now. This prompts a few questions and hope you don't mind giving a 
little more information before I try the demo for myself.



First, did the seller ever take up any of your suggestions? If so, how 
do they work out for you and, if not, did he give a reason why not?



Have you managed by now to get the wifi working? I would want to do that 
also.



Finally, is the programme still being worked on regularly enough and 
what else have you been able to do since your purchase and updates?



I hope you don't mind the questions. I will then download and take it 
for a spin myself ...



(As my days are really busy, it looks as though I'll be on night shift 
to try out this one if it's still only 24 hours ...)



Cheers and I look forwad to further discussion on this one.

Yes, as I understand it now, it would only right itself if I had the 
time and energy to make it priority to ensure that all my mail was 
addressed to me at gmail, but even then (with the provider I have) it 
might not work.


I have a number of mailing lists in which I have as little involvement 
as possible right now but do want to pick them up again when 
circumstances change. (It's a real pity to me I can't talk through the 
situation with anyone at Google, so far as I'm aware!)



Anyone who has further advice for me or can help me to achieve what is 
needed to put my situation right, please get in touch directly.



Thanks.

Hi, I think that might be a mistake somewhere in my set up, but I never have 
fathomed it and, to be honest, it is very low priority on my list right now… So 
sorry! :-)

Re: Airpod question.

2017-03-12 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Sieghard,


Well, I think your ideas here are constructive and, like you, I will 
probably hold off. I've now listened to the podcast by David Woodbridge, 
though I stopped just after the first section on working with the 
iPhone. I still think I'll take a look though the next time I'm in the 
Apple Store.



However secure an earpiece appears to be, I too prefer to have a loop 
around the ear for extra safety.

Hi Carol,

The Airpods are impressive, sound great and I'd love to have a pair. However, 
at this point two things keep me from spending this much money for them: first, 
there is no way to Play/Pause, Forward/Rewind or change the volume on the 
Airpods except for bringing up SIRI and tell SIRI what you want to do. Of 
course this would not be an option on a flight or if you are, for some reason 
in Airplane mode or have no WiFi or data connection. Second, I have also an 
Apple Watch and all reports I have heard say the Airpods don't switch well 
between iPhone and Apple Watch. For such an advanced and expensive device and 
one that has been designed by Apple this to me should be a given. If I listen 
to something on my phone and I wake up my watch or a notification comes in on 
the watch then the Airpods should switch instantly to the watch pausing 
whatever I am listening to and, once the watch is done they should switch back 
and resume playing my music or book or whatever. My Plantronics Voyager Edge 
does this with a fraction of a second delay and I would expect that from a 
device designed by Apple and for Apple devices. A third and myabe slightly less 
important feature I would like to see is a small loop moldet into the plastic 
on the part that sticks down and comes to a point (it could even be at the end 
of that part) where you could attach a thin, but strong line or cable to join 
both Airpods together which would make it much less easy to loose them and it 
would be much easier to take them out of your ear and have them hanging around 
your neck.
I totally expect that Apple will release a second generation of the Airpods 
this fall along with their new iPhones and I will definitely wait as it is only 
another 6 months until that happens to see what they improve.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hello Everyone,

As with many things in life, it's all a matter of opinion.

I can tell you that of all the 20+ Bluetooth headsets I've owned throughout the 
years, Apple Airpods are my absolute, without a doubt, favorite.

I am amazed with how seamlessly they interface with iPhone.  I absolutely love 
the fact that I can effortlessly switch from a single-ear to two-ear and back 
to a single-ear configuration, on the fly.

The auto-ear detection is as close to magic as I've yet experienced on a 
Smartphone.

If I am playing a song or listening to a book/podcast with Airpods, all I need 
do is to remove the Airpod from my ear and playback will pause and not resume 
until I place the Airpod back in my ear.  Amazing!

My favorite feature of Airpods, however, is how beautifully VoiceOver switches 
between Airpods and iPhone.

With iPhone in my breast pocket, for example, and an alert comes in, that I 
want to explore privately, I simply place an Airpod in my ear and sound 
automatically transfers from the phone to my ear; when I'm done, I simply drop 
the Airpod back into either its case or a pocket, and sound automatically 
reverts back to iPhone.

This may be difficult to believe but last night, I panicked when I
could not find one of my Airpods only to have a sighted friend inform
me that it was in my left ear.  I know, I couldn't believe it either.
Talk about being embarrassed; but they really are that comfortable.

Mind you, I am using Airpods with iPhone 6 Plus, only, so I can only imagine 
how much better they perform with newer iPhone models.

I think Airpods are well worth their price and that Apple, once again, has 
ushered in a new era of technology with this most innovative accessory.

Hi Eric,

Good choice, I think the current Airpods are quite a rip-off and in fact I was 
at an Apple Store today to buy a headset for my wife as an anniversary present 
and I was looking forward to checking out the Beats Solo and walked away deeply 
disappointed. I am in Canada so the Beats Solo here is $329.95 + taxes and 
while they sounded OK I could simply not believe such a large and, according to 
Apple, advanced headset has no volume control. First the Airpods have no volume 
control and now the Beats Solo also has no volume control, if this is the 
wireless future Apple invisions they need glasses. I ended up getting her a 
pair of the new BeatsX since she prefers earbud style headsets anyways over big 
clunky ones. As for the Solo I can only say that in addition to the lack of a 
volume control the sound is also just OK, I mean it's good but not special for 
the price. I have listened to many a headset that costs between $150 and $200 
Canadian and think they sounded just as good.
Another thing I noticed is that the canadian price for the BeatsX is a lot more 
favourible than that of the Airpods. If I am not mistaken the BeatsX in the 
States are $149 and the Airpods are $159, a $10 difference. Here in Canada the 
BeatsX are $179 and the Airpods are $219, a $40 difference in our currency. If 
I use the current exchange rate and convert $149 for the BeatsX to canadian it 
works out to about $195 Canadian, but Apple Canada only charges $179 so 
compared to the US price it's actually a good deal. If I convert the $159 US 
for the Airpods to Canadian it is $208 or $209 so at $219 Apple put a 5% 
upcharge on it at least based on the current exchange rate. How a $10 US 
difference works out to be a $40 Canadian difference when $10 US is about $13.2 
or $13.5 I don't know.
All in all I think that currently you can get a much better bang for your buck 
if you look at third-party headsets and the Apple W1 chip to me seems very much 
overrated. In fact, apart from the admitedly simple pairing process and maybe 
the fact that any other Apple device that is connected to the same Apple Id is 
supposed to pair I don't see a big advantage.
If you think of it the initial pairing process of a regular bluetooth headset is also easy and in 
my view just as simple. With the BeatsX you still have to push and hold the on/off button and the 
only difference is that a message pops up on the screen asking if you want to connect to them so 
you save yourself a few taps by not having to go into bluetooth settings and to double tap on a 
newly paired device. With the BeatsX I had to double tap on "Connect" and then on 
"Done" with a normal bluetooth headset I have to double tap on Settings, then Bluetooth 
and then on the newly found device so it's one double tap

subscription like Apple Music or Spotify, then many of us nowadays have some 
sort of software which requires an annual software maintenance agreement or we

Secondly it appears that when you install the Tiles app and start using it, you 
give the company permission to collect data about the movement of your Tile 
which, if you put one on your phone or keys means your movement and to use said 
data any which way they like including to share or sell it to third parties. I 
guess you could argue that your phone already collects this data except when 
you have an iPhone you can turn this or some of this off, you could choose to 
turn off your phone completely if you don’t want to be tracked and, at least in 
the case of Apple, I trust them the most that they aren’t sharing this 
information with everybody who may want it. Apple unlike Google does not make 
its money from gathering information about you which they can then use to 
target you with ads, they make their money with devices and services and given 
their stand on this in the past are probably one of the companies who cares 
about privacy the most.

Re: holiday list

2017-02-13 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
Hi, your easiest way is to askk Siri. Just asked what date  is easter day this 
year? I am pretty sure this will apply to other holidays also.

I do know that one of my calendar apps will do this, but can't really remember 
where I got it from now. Anyway, I hope this helps! :-)

upgrade every year since 2012 and last year it was made for 2016 as I checked 
for day light time and day standard and day saving, etc as I can see good time

Re: Problem With Bluetooth Keyboard

2017-02-12 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

Sorry, if this is already answered.

It's annoying but easily solved. Simply click your Home button 3 times 
to remove VoiceOver, then again to put it back (after a short pause) and 
you should be fine.



BTW: I'm assuming that your Tripple click Home is set to re-load VO. If 
not, you may need to check that out first in Settings, VoiceOver.

Carol,
 
I generally leave Snippets running in my App Switcher. I believe I'm going from 
my PC to my iPhone about 95% of the time I use it but I keep the website 
bookmarked in Firefox. When I open the bookmarked URL which is usually 
192.168.1.72.2121, it usually comes up displaying what's already on the 
Snippets app. I won't say it's seamless but it works almost all the time. I 
have had to retype the 192 URL on occasion into my browser but as long as both 
your iDevice and computer are using the same wi-fi network, it works smoothly. 
I will delete the text which appears from the app in my browser and type in 
what I need to transfer from my computer to the iPhone in the browser window 
text box. It appears in the app where I can easily copy and paste it.

and the right one slowly downward, that will turn the rotor clockwise. When you

Mary, I can see what you're saying and agree with you. I was only thinking of 
the second rotor to try to separate things but that would only half solve the 
problem because I do find it quite tiring! :-) Okay, I'm going to keep thinking 
about it and do appreciate all the feedback I've had so far.

2017-01-19 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

HI all,


I've not written for a good while but have had something nagging around 
that I wanted views upon, so here it is!



As our i devices have grown in features, so I have found that the rotor 
system has become rather more of an irksome task. I have most of the 
items offered on my rotor and have noticed a certain amount of wrist 
strain in sometimes needing to turn it several times in succession on 
web pages, etc.



I am wondering if this rotor needs to be re-constructed, perhaps having 
two so that you can divide the rotor into better sections and change the 
rotor setting (to 1 or 2) via a designated keystroke.



First, am I the only one who finds this a little cumbersome and, 
secondly, what do you think to the kind of idea I'd like to suggest?



If indeed people think they'd like to see a change, perhaps you could 
give your ideas a whirl here also and then we can all speak with a 
number of voices to tell Apple what we think we'd like/need.



I look forward to receiving some feedback on this issue.


Thanks.

Subject: Starting up a new email list, need help!

Hallo Lovely People!

A friend, from Australia, a fellow dogless guide dog owner, and myself wish 
to start off an email list, like this one, but for VIPs in the Kitchen. We are 
thinking to focus on techniques/devices/technology/apps and general shared 
experience. Encouraging podcast type contributions as well. hoefully, it would 
be international, but with English as the shared language, just for ease of 
communication.

Now, I see, from Google, that it looks easy enough to set up a new group, 
is Google the easiest one? Can people, who don't have gmail accounts access 
such a group? Or, should I be looking at free lists?

In short (she always says that!) All advice very welcome, as, indeed, are 
all or any of you who might want to join such a group As there are only two 
of us right now!! I am foing marvelous things with my Thermomix machine, others 
have slow cookers, one pot cookers and others perform perfectly well manually, 
so, what is your thing? You might be a King/Queen on the kitchen, or flustered 
by Marmite on toast! No matter, all will be most welcome!!

Re: Copying and Pasting in iOS

2016-12-21 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
Yes, it does work but not consistently for me. It seems to depend on where you 
double tap and hold. I've had more success tapping on the username then 
flicking left to go to the various options.

Hope this might encourage everyone to try this some more. I did not realise it 
was there till it came up in this thread.
I also found that when I've double tapped, it's worked after holding for a 
coucouple of seconds or so.

Hope this helps a bit.

Re: Having to restart voice over

2016-12-10 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
Hi Sieghard,

I have had the same situation happen to me a number of times now and, like you, 
have had to restart my phone in order to get the voice back! Yes, it can be a 
bit tricky sometimes, but at least it does work if you persevere.

I have also found recently that sounds on and off do not seem to be terribly 
consistent. Sometimes, when I put them on, they don't come on and vice versa!
For all those who have had to reinstall apps because they have lost their 
speech, I would suggest you persevere with trying to get the speech back. 
Plugging the phone in first may well help.

We all ought to start reporting this, I think!

Re: A Question About Spam Calendar Event Invitations

2016-12-06 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
 Yes, I received a similar one this week. I did what you did! I simply went to 
my PC and deleted it for ever and ever and ever! I haven't checked whether it 
got to my calendar yet, so I must do this. I can't even remember what it was 
now. I know that I recognise it though if I find it! :-)



Carol P - Sent from my iPhone :)


On 26 Nov 2016, at 2:45 am, M. Taylor  wrote:

Hello Everyone,

Just so you know, I am cross-posting this email.

Earlier today, I received a calendar sales event invitation from an unknown
sender.  Upon opening the invitation from within my iOS Calendar app, it was
clear that this was a spammer as I could see the list of invitees all of
which were just variations on a theme, for example b...@icloud.com,
b...@icloud.com, etc.

The event invitation was promoting a weekend sale for sunglasses and the
like.  As a result, the event appeared across three different days,
corresponding to the length of the event/sale; extremely annoying, to say
the least.

The only buttons I could find upon which to act was either Accept button,
the maybe button, and the decline button.

I did not want to activate any of these buttons as doing so would send a
response to the sender, confirming the existence of my account.  

Try as I may, I could not discover anyway to simply delete the event
invitation, itself, or the corresponding events from my Calendar, in iOS.  

Just so you know, When I activated the button that linked to the sender,
whose account/email address consisted of Chinese characters, all I could do
was to either add the sender to my Contacts List, share my location, etc.
There was no option to block the sender nor anyway to report the event
invitation as spam.

Believe it or not, the most annoying thing, however, was not that the event
was added to my Calendar, for the duration of the event, it was that it
showed as an event to which I needed to reply.  This means that the number 1
was constantly displayed on the Calendar's badge-app, icon.  

I called Apple Care but, after waiting on hold for what seemed like an
interminable length of time, I decided to go it alone.  

At first, I thought about firing up my Mac and seeing if I could discover a
way to delete the event from there.  However, to be honest, my luck with the
Mac OS Calendar application, has never been spectacular.  Add to that, the
fact that I was extremely angry at Apple for not providing some way to
delete an event invitation without having to select an option that would
alert the sender that any action on my part, had taken place.

My solution?  

I simply fired up a Windows 7 PC that has the iCloud Control Panel for
Windows installed, launched Microsoft Outlook 2007, located the offending
invitation, and hit the delete key on the keyboard.  Not including booting
up the PC and launching Outlook, the deletion process took less than 10
seconds.  

When next I looked at my iOS Calendar, the invitation, along with its
corresponding footprint, had been deleted, as expected.

Question:  Have any of you encountered spam Calendar event invitations?  If
so, how did you handle it?  Were you able to delete the invitation without
activating the Accept, Maybe, or Decline buttons?   

The only thing I wish I had attempted, before resorting to my beloved
Windows PC, was to have explored the iCloud.com website to see if, perhaps
there may have been a delete button somewhere that would have accomplished
my goal.

I look forward to your replies,

Mark

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the input.  I thought there might be some workarounds for 
some of the problems. It appears that accessibility with iTunes in 
windows has gotten worse over the years. I was just trying to see 
what was possible when using iTunes with windows 10 after all there 
is the need to sync data from the iPhone and iPad to one's computer 
from time to time I can remember when some of us upgraded to iOS 10. 
A lot of us simply connected our cables to our computers to download
I was just trying to find out whether I could sync my contacts and 
other material such as photos and notes from my phone when using 
iTunes in windows. I guess not. Thanks for all your help.

some pretty major changes so that companies like Freedom Scientific 
can get at the information and in turn do whatever is needed to 
make it as good as it can be.
The same applies to the iCloud.com website, I highly doubt Apple is 
implementing web accessibility guidelines/standards here since the 
site is more or less unuseable for somebody who needs to rely on a 
screenreader.

RE: Latest version of iTunes with windows 10 and jaws for windows

2016-11-21 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone
Hi Thom,

This interests me greatly and I'll be looking at it more closely as soon as I 
can. What are you saying  by your comment that it works wel, for the most part? 
What doesn't work properly and is the software provider going to fix it any 
time soon?

It seems that, even if we don't get a good version of iTunares we're probably 
going to see some alternatives and that can't be a bad thing. Personally, I 
just don't want to bother with iTunes any more because, as soon as you get just 
a little bit used to a new version with all the things that do and do not work, 
it's changed again! I certainly want to transfer to and from my phone. By the 
way, can you save to the program as well as put music etc into your phone?

I'll just have to look at it now, wont i!

I may also look at the other program menbbned in this thread, time permitting!

Anyway, I'll look forward to any further comments you may be able to make and 
will be pleased to get in touch with you once I've purchased.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the input.  I thought there might be some workarounds for 
some of the problems. It appears that accessibility with iTunes in 
windows has gotten worse over the years. I was just trying to see what 
was possible when using iTunes with windows 10 after all there is the 
need to sync data from the iPhone and iPad to one's computer from time 
to time I can remember when some of us upgraded to iOS 10. A lot of us 
simply connected our cables to our computers to download
I was just trying to find out whether I could sync my  contacts and 
other material such as photos and notes from my phone when using 
iTunes in windows. I guess not. Thanks for all your help.

The same applies to the iCloud.com website, I highly doubt Apple is 
implementing web accessibility guidelines/standards here since the

To all that tried to help me with this problem, thank you very much.
I found and corrected the problem!
On my wife's phone, she had my phone number in her own contact info for some
reason,
and since alphabetically her name comes before mine in her contact list,
her phone was recognizing my number  associated with her name.
Once she removed my number from her info,the only place for the phone to
find that number was with my name.
Problem solved!
Based on these results, I would say that the phone identifies the incoming
number, then performs an alphabetical search of the contacts list
and places the associated name with the number.
At any rate, thanks to everyone that responded to my original post!
Take care,

Hello, Carol.

The Gmail app works specifically with Google accounts, and I can't see
a way to force it out of its comfort zone.  As to why someone would
want to use it, one might not need the power and data sharing
capabilities of Outlook.  One might want to keep Gmail activity very
separate from the activity on there accounts.  If for some reason a
user had to delete the Apple iOS mail account and had to start over,
and if one of the accounts under the app was a POP3, all messages
might be lost, including those on the Gmail account.  Perhaps the
interface is just pleasant to some.  There are some handy elements,
such as the "Empty Trash" button.  The text explaining the new
features of V. 5.0.13 claims that with one swipe, the entire Inbox of
a Gmail account can be cleaned out.  I haven't tested this feature
with VoiceOver.

Carol and Others,

I think Brett is referring to the Amazing Slow Downer app, which shows up on your 
iPhone/iPad as "Amazing":
• Amazing Slow Downer by Roni Music ($14.99)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazing-slow-downer/id308998718?mt=8

There's a free, lite trial version that only lets you play one fourth of each 
track:
• Amazing Slow Downer Lite by Roni Music (free)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazing-slow-downer-lite/id310204778?mt=8

To change the key, use the pitch slider (e.g., switch C to D by moving up two 
semi-tones)

App description follows.
If you're a musician who likes to learn new songs and techniques by listening
to the same piece of music over and over but wish that the music could be
played a little slower, then you'll enjoy Amazing Slow Downer.

You can repeat any section of the music at full speed, slow it down or even
speed it up by changing the speed between 25% (1/4 of original speed) and 200%
(double speed) without changing the pitch!

Change the tuning or musical key? No problem, Amazing Slow Downer handles that
as well.

Setup seamless loops by touching the "Set" buttons during playback.

Amazing Slow Downer is the ideal tool for any musician, transcriber or dancer
wanting to improve their skills.

Important notes:
Cannot play DRM protected files from the iTunes store (m4p and audio book
files).

Cheers,

Esther

Hi Linda and all,

I was thinking that maybe it's different if you're saving to an external 
drive. I know the limit is 32GB otherwise.


Perhaps someone knows if there's the same upper limit when using external 
drives. I personally would think there probably isn't such a limit since 
this would not be governed by the Touch but by the particular drive 
provider but I look forward to confirmation either way.

messages to any other device with a phone number that supports SMS.

What's The Difference Between iMessages and Text Messages on iPhone?

Underneath the surface, iMessages and text messages are fundamentally
different technologies, even though they both live in the Messages app
on your iPhone.
I think it’s important for every iPhone owner to know the difference
between text messages and iMessages, because that knowledge can have a
significant
impact on your phone bill.

Text Messages

Regular text messages use the text messaging plan that you purchase
through your carrier. There are two kinds of text messages:

list of 2 items
◾ SMS (Short Message Service): The original text messages that we’ve
been using for years. SMS messages are limited to 160 characters and can
only contain
text.
◾ MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service): MMS messages extend the capability
of original text messages, and support sending photos, longer text
messages, and
other content.

I know there used to be various apps around that transposed the key of 
an song into something more realistic for those who were to sing it ...  
If you use one that you can recommend or let me know of any that you 
have used or heard about, I'd be most grateful.



Thanks!

Hi there to all,


I used to happily add friends to my VIP list in mail as I love alerts 
specifically on occasions, but I've just tried with IOS10 and can't do 
it! I must be doing something wrong but have tried all the ways I can

Re: "no items found"

2016-10-28 Thread &#x27;Carol Pearson' via VIPhone

I'm getting a different one! :]


It's only started yesterday/today. I go into a textbox in Messenger to
respond to someone's text and hear something about using handwriting.
Now, I don't have the handwriting option ticked on the rotor since I
never use it. (I've checked it hasn't happened accidentally.)


I check the textbox, realise I can keyboard so I start to do that.
Immediately I put down my phone whilst still writing the message, the
"handwriting" comment is spoken once again.


I'll try VO as the possible culpret next time I pick up my phone!



I do notice that this occurs when I suddenly find myself having selected 
another keyboard, which just happens to be the MBraille one and then, 
getting out of that one is a nightmare and still persists, sometimes, after 
rebootdd


Has anyone any ideas on this senario, please!

Hi there,


I saw that iPhone Life was advertising the above and havfe the trial 
version. Due to the limitations, I probably can't really decide how good 
I think it is. I'm also a little stumped with a few things and haven't 
really the time to dig into the hows and whys in order to get it going 
right now. In addition, I think the offer is probably out now. I would 
however be glad to know if anyone who has purchased is finding it 
successful and, if so, if I might write you off list with a couple of 
queries, please?

Re: Annoying Buffering Behavior Gone in IOS 10

Hi there,


Well, if ever you have the time and inclination and are brave enough,

If I am me, and I am, then perhaps I wouldn't be bothered ...


I do admit that such a bug is rather annoying though.

Thanks, Carol.  It is definitely a relief.  I still have the old behavior on my

at least it's gone on what I can upgrade.

Since this happened on a relatively new iPad which I hadn't done much set up 
on, I had actually tried erasing everything and setting it up as new, and that 
still didn't work.  So, needless to say, I am very happy, and glad yours is now

Oh, Pam, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I think, honestly, I'd have
cured it if I'd wiped my phone and reinstalled, but I couldn't be
bothered to do that, knowing that an upgrade was just a few weeks away,
so I left it and my decision was the right one.


Anyway, I am glad you are also sorted now.

When I read Carol's recent post about Voiceover reading text that seemed to be trapped in the 
buffer, it reminded me of a somewhat similar situation I was having.  After I apparently had used 
the wrong gesture to label a folder called "Cooking", Voiceover would say 
"Cooking" every time I changed screens, moved to the first app on a screen, moved from 
the main screen into the doc, etc.   This behavior had then replicated itself to my other devices.

Apple accessibility was not able to find a solution, so I heard a lot of 
"Cooking".

I am very happy to say that when I updated to IOS 10, as with Carol, this 
annoying behavior is gone.

So if anyone else is having some kind of strange buffering behavior, it may be 
worth upgrading.  It definitely was for me.
