Hi, One thing you can try is pressing vO+CMD+F8. This brings up the VoiceOver tutorial. Press Escape when the recorded voice starts explaining about the tutorial, and VoiceOver should start up. I don't know why this is happening, but I occasionally have the same problem, so I hope someone has

Hi, On the phone itself, double-tap the forward button and hold to fast forward. In other words, touch the forward button, tap twice, and keep your finger held down. When you pick up your finger, the iPHone will stop fast forwarding. do the same on the Back button to rewind. I think you can

Hi, When you use VoiceOver to read with Read2Go, you have to choose to read by page or by section. If you choose section, it reads continuously during each chapter, so it's not too annoying - only a problem if the chapters are very short. To change this setting, go to Bookshelf, then Settings,

Hi, Also, don't forget that you can tag tracks within iTunes. You can select multiple tracks and tag them as a group too, filling in the album, artist, and number of tracks. And if you set iTunes to keep the iTunes library organized, it will rename the tracks based on your tags and organize

Hi Sandrar, Siri is completely Internet-based. It sends your requests to an Apple server, which figures out what you said and sends that back to Siri. All the processing of your request is also done on Apple's servers. So a slow Internet connection will affect how well Siri performs. Best,

Hi Jeff, When I move everything off of a screen, it disappears, so that's what is supposed to happen. Try rebooting the phone. You could also try going into app edit mode by double-tapping and holding an app, and then press Home to leave taht mode. Maybe that would do it. If that doesn't help,
