Dan and Paula, Dan, I think you got me on the track to figure this out. Paula, try this. Open the Calendar and touch in the bottom left on the Today button and double tap. At the top of the screen, find the List button and double tap to select it, or do nothing if it is already

I think also in the receipt you hopefully get via Email, or on the web site under your account, there is a return link I think. It has been a very long time since I purchased an app that I wanted a refund for. But, calling Apple Accessibility should get you on the right track. You can always

My favorite method now is to do a one finger triple tap on the App Store icon. That brings up the context menu. Flick right to updates. Double tap. ON this screen, touch near the bottom of the screen to find where it says something like personalized updates or something. Now, refresh the

While holding in the volume down and power button does give an option to shut down, it also brings up the emergency call screen. Depending on your settings, this may end up in making a 911 call when you don’t want to. The safer method is what has been given before: Quickly press and release

It sounds like time to either call Apple Accessibility, or at least write them. Or, perhaps there is a setting in the particular account you are using where it needs to be set? Apple Accessibility: 877-204-3930 Email: accessibil...@apple.com Richard, USA. “Reality is the leading cause of

Do you have audio description turned on under settings, accessibility? I do not have that issue with The TV app and I am on iOS 16.0.2. If that setting is on under accessibility, you won't have to enable it for each episode. Richard, USA. “What we think or what we know or what we believe is

Yes you should be covered. Yes, it is best to take it to an Apple Store for this. It could be a hardware issue too. Be sure to have backed up your phone before taking it in as there is a good chance they will reinstall the iOS. Richard, USA. “What we think or what we know or what we believe

Yes it can track your steps. Probably best to have it in the front pocket; but I believe it uses distance traveled not just motion, so carrying it in a bag shouldn't matter. In health, select the browse tab, and then the profile button in the very top. Fill out all the information. You can opt to
