Hi
I just don't want to bother them because someone else really might be in
a jam, and *really* need some accessibility help. I'm pretty good with
setting up an iDevice, I've set several up now but what if a newby is
calling for the very first time and is upset and confused? Sure, I
understand I qualify, but that doesn't make it so. If I can't find any
answers that may be what I have to do. I've seen a lot of stuff about
this on the internet, and the sollution to transfer purchases works for
some folks but not others. I very rarely do this but this is one of the
very rare times when I would love to see iOS become more like Android.
On a droid you can just put an SD card into a reader, or connect your
phone to the pc with a USB cable, and copy and paste your tones in the
proppper place, and they just work.

but I'm pretty sure that the folks at Apple would be all too glad to help
you out...and they are very good!

Absolutely, i've been using VoiceOver for about 4 years now on a daily
basis. But once again, we're straying from the answer i'm wanting to
get here.
I just need to know what's going to happen if I have to hit this erase
and sync button. If it's only going to erase tones only, that's not a
problem. However, if it's going to erase everything on the phone and
I'll need to start over from scratch and re-download all my apps and
music I am absolutely not going to be a happy person.

Hi. But see that's just it, I'm not really having any difficulty
reading the screens, everything's clear accept what's going to happen
if I hit that erase and sync button. i don't like the sound of that,
and I am extremely nervous. The only time I think i'd call the
accessibility line is if I was having trouble reading the screen, and
I'm not really having trouble with that part of it.

Hi. I certainly did, in fact that was one of the very first things
i did when setting things up. So, would you say it's safe to hit
that erase and sync button? It looks like it's going to remove
absolutely everything from my phone and I do not want to spend
hours and hours re-configuring it.

hello, did you do a complete backup of your iphone once you have
it setup how you want? if so, then you have nothing to worry about
the backup will preserve everything you have on your phone.

Well, I'm not having any problems with the accessibility of the
product, all the screens read exactly as they should. I just
don't know what effect hitting the erase and sync button will
have on my iPhone, which I've spent a really long time
customizing. I have apps put in folders, and I like to have
things in a very specific way. The accessibility here isn't the
issue. Or at least it doesn't seem to be that way.

Hi guys
i hope the subject line was clear enough, sometimes I'm
horrible at that. Anyways, let me explain a little further. I
had iTunes running on my Windows 7 machine for many years, and
I was successfully able to create a custom ringtone for my
iPhone as a .m4r file, and sync it to my phone successfully. So
recently, I got myself a brand spanking new screamer of a pc
running Windows 10 So I
had some ringtones that I wanted to add to my phone so I
installed iTunes on it, and authorized it on my pc and did all
the usual stuff you have to do to get it set up. I even did a
backup of my iTunes library just to be safe.
However, when I went to sync these newly made ringtones, I
receive a message from iTunes that says if i sync with this
iPhone everything will be removed, and the only thing I'll have
left are these new tones. It says that it can only sync with
one iTunes library at a time. Or at least, that's how the
message sounds to me. It sounds rather ominous.
I don't want to lose absolutely everything on my phone just
to add a few ringtones. That seems rather silly to me. I know
a lot of you guys on here use macs, but remember, this is in
Windows 10, using the most recent version of iTunes,
screenreader is Window-eyes 9.4.0.
Is it safe to hit the remove and sync button, or if I do that,
will the only thing that's removed are the tones? If all it'll
remove is my current batch of tones that's ok, but my concern
is losing everything else such as apps, and music. I'm a bit
lost to tell you the truth. I hope someone has experience with
this.
Thanks for any help, guys!
