I will activate my Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular when I finally receive 
it. It is a simple matter to unpair it from my current iPhone 7 and pair it 
with the iPhone 10 when I get that iPhone.

Kind regards,

 I do this because, sometimes, VoiceOver can become sluggish.  
 
 Given that there is a lot of sluggishness when the watch reboots, if you

 this, however.

 Yes, on my Watch series 3, when I slide two fingers up the screen I do 
 hear volume percentages, but often the volume simply bounced back to its 
 previous level when I lift my fingers off. I'm quite nervous about trying 
 to change volume as I'm not confident I can get VoiceOver volume back 
 again. I've also experienced VoiceOver disappearing entirely for no 
 obvious reason, which I cursed by holding down both buttons to do a hard 
 reset. Let's hope a fix will come!

Hi Alex,

Down in the bottom right hand corner you don’t get a pop up message which you

Subject: Problem with Mail on iPad under iOS 11

Hi all,
I'm having a very odd problem on a client's iPad under iOS 11. Despite my 
warning, the client updated the device, so now I get to explain the rotor 
craziness. But the problem I'm having is with displaying messages, not the 
stupid new rotor changes.

When I go from a message back to the inbox, VO often reports that it's still 
focused on the message content. I'm in full screen mode, so this should be 
impossible. I can touch the message list to get back to it, but flicking left 
or right, or doing anything else to navigate, acts like I'm in the message. My 
back button takes me to all mailboxes, so I'm definitely in the inbox. I'm 
confused, so my client is a great deal more so. What might be going on here? Is 
there anything I can do about this? Thanks for any ideas.

RE: Sharing a folder between my windows 7 and my mac

[Simon Fogarty]

You have to purchase it from them directly I believe,

 Also you could reformat the external drive to Fat32 
Which is both readable and writable by both windows and mac,
The only limitation is if files are larger than 4GB you wont be able to write 
them to the fat32 drive structure,

 Or format it as X Fat which again is readable by both mac and windows and has 
no real issues I've found so far.

Harry,

Have you tried increasing the watch volume from your phone?

 That's where I've done it the passed couple of times and it works on the 
series 2 with OS 4,

Hello Harry,

I have a series 2 watch running Watch OS 3.

However, I have found it very useful to reboot my watch, at least once a day 
and, after doing so, using the digital crown triple-press to turn VoiceOver 
off, then back on, for best results.  

I do this because, sometimes, VoiceOver can become sluggish.  

Given that there is a lot of sluggishness when the watch reboots, if you have 
no useable vision, I can understand that you may choose not to do this, however.

RE: Sharing a folder between my windows 7 and my mac

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Ramy,

 Great you have paragon,

 The smtp is not correct, 
You should be using SMB://machine name 
SMB stands for Samba, you need this to connect to the windows environment.

 Also something to check on, 
On the windows machine,

 In the windows explorer,
Go to your shared drive and right click to bring up the context menu,
Then go to properties,
Once in properties go to the share tab and check that you have the share giving 
everyone access rights,
 This is normally done under the share tab,
Advanced sharing,
 Highlight the everyone user and then select full access.
Then click Ok, then once your back to the properties window tab back up to the 
tab names and arrow over to the security tab and then tab down to the edit 
option and enter on it,
 Then in the list of possible users find Everyone if it is there,

If it's not there then click the Add button,
 And in the search box type the word Everyone,
 And then if you need to click on ok but it should be a case of type in the 
word everyone and hit enter,
 Then shift tab back to the list of users and find the everyone user and then 
tab down to the list of rights,

If it's only you accessing this share from your mac I'd suggest checing the 
Allow Full access, you just have to tap the space bar on that option,
 Then keep tabbing down to the Ok button and hit enter,
Then again tab down to either ok or close,

 Once you have both of these things configured you should be able to restart 
your windows machine and again try connecting to the shared drive and then let 
us know how you get on,

Good luck.

RE: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

[Simon Fogarty]

I've only got the series 2 watch running Watch OS 4.0 and I'm having no issues 
with increasing or decreasing the volume,
But then I'm not trying to change it often,
 I did set it up on Saturday night and setting the volume then wasn't an 
issue.-Original Message-

Subject: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

I just sent the below to Apple accessibility. Have any other Apple Watch users 
experience problem setting the volume?




Hello, I’ve had an Apple Watch since it first came out. I just upgraded to a 
generation three GPS only model. I love the watch. But am experiencing some 
oddities that I haven’t previously had. Controlling the volume. I’ve tried the 
two finger tap and hold and move up or down and I can hear it say 60% 90% 70%. 
But no change in the volume also the numbers that it saying almost appeared to 
be random it doesn’t slowly go up as I move up and slowly go down as I move 
down it’s seem to jump around.

So OK I went to the watch app on my iPhone a plus. I set the voiceover volume 
there. And it doesn’t make any difference what I had it set at the volume 
doesn’t go up or down. I could set an 100% or I could set it at 40% it’s still 
the same. The VoiceOver speech rate does change when I change it on my phone. 
But not the volume.

Also over the last few days my Apple Watch has decided to connect with my 
AirPods. But the volume there is extremely faint I can hardly hear it. And I 
can’t find anyway to increase that volume. I tried the methods above, but 
nothing changes it. The Apple Watch software version is 4.0. My iPhone is 
11.0.2.

Is There No Way to Hide Purchased iBooks in iOS 10 or Later?

[M. Taylor]

Hello All,

In iOS 9, one could easily hide purchased iBooks from within the iOS iBook
app.  

Try as I may, I can not discover how this is done in iOS 10, if, in fact, it
can be done at all.

My Google searches result in articles written for the iOS 9 iBook app.

Do any of you know how to hide purchased iBooks in iOS 10 or 11?

All responses greatly appreciated.

Mark

 Hello, I’ve had an Apple Watch since it first came out. I just upgraded to 
 a generation three GPS only model. I love the watch. But am experiencing 
 some oddities that I haven’t previously had. Controlling the volume. I’ve 
 tried the two finger tap and hold and move up or down and I can hear it 
 say 60% 90% 70%. But no change in the volume also the numbers that it 
 saying almost appeared to be random it doesn’t slowly go up as I move up 
 and slowly go down as I move down it’s seem to jump around.
 
 So OK I went to the watch app on my iPhone a plus. I set the voiceover 
 volume there. And it doesn’t make any difference what I had it set at the 
 volume doesn’t go up or down. I could set an 100% or I could set it at 40% 
 it’s still the same. The VoiceOver speech rate does change when I change 
 it on my phone. But not the volume.
 
 Also over the last few days my Apple Watch has decided to connect with my 
 AirPods. But the volume there is extremely faint I can hardly hear it. And 
 I can’t find anyway to increase that volume. I tried the methods above, 
 but nothing changes it. The Apple Watch software version is 4.0. My iPhone 
 is 11.0.2.

Re: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

[David Chittenden]

I will activate my Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular when I finally receive 
it. It is a simple matter to unpair it from my current iPhone 7 and pair it 
with the iPhone 10 when I get that iPhone.

Kind regards,

Re: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

I just bought the Apple Watch series 3.

Well I have had it for a few days and it's still in the box as I have not 
updated my I phone as there is no point since I'm selling it once I get my I 
phone 10.

I am unsure if I should set up the watch even if my I phone 7 plus is not 
updated.  What do people think, should I start using my series 3 watch even if 
the phone that I have is not updated?

I use to have the generation 1 watch but that was a long time ago so I have 
forgotten a lot of things.  So what's the best setting for the watch?  I do 
remember the complications and how to use it I think.

Many thanks.

Kawal.

Problem with Mail on iPad under iOS 11

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I'm having a very odd problem on a client's iPad under iOS 11. Despite my 
warning, the client updated the device, so now I get to explain the rotor 
craziness. But the problem I'm having is with displaying messages, not the 
stupid new rotor changes.

When I go from a message back to the inbox, VO often reports that it's still 
focused on the message content. I'm in full screen mode, so this should be 
impossible. I can touch the message list to get back to it, but flicking left 
or right, or doing anything else to navigate, acts like I'm in the message. My 
back button takes me to all mailboxes, so I'm definitely in the inbox. I'm 
confused, so my client is a great deal more so. What might be going on here? Is 
there anything I can do about this? Thanks for any ideas.

Re: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

[John JD Denning]

The one thing I like about my new Apple Watch Series 3, is it is not sluggish. 
I have the original Apple Watch. That at times was an exercise in frustration. 
But I’m really really please with this one in house Siri responds and VoiceOver 
response. I have seldom had to restart my watch. Certainly not once a day maybe 
once every couple of months.

RE: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

[M. Taylor]

Hello Harry,

I have a series 2 watch running Watch OS 3.

However, I have found it very useful to reboot my watch, at least once a day 
and, after doing so, using the digital crown triple-press to turn VoiceOver 
off, then back on, for best results.  

I do this because, sometimes, VoiceOver can become sluggish.  

Given that there is a lot of sluggishness when the watch reboots, if you have 
no useable vision, I can understand that you may choose not to do this, however.

Mark

Yes, on my Watch series 3, when I slide two fingers up the screen I do hear 
volume percentages, but often the volume simply bounced back to its previous 
level when I lift my fingers off. I'm quite nervous about trying to change 
volume as I'm not confident I can get VoiceOver volume back again. I've also 
experienced VoiceOver disappearing entirely for no obvious reason, which I 
cursed by holding down both buttons to do a hard reset. Let's hope a fix will 
come!

Re: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

[Jürgen Fleger]

Jipp, experience the same on a Watch + Cellular. 

If AirPods are connected turn the crown to set the volume. Haven’t tried right 
now but a few days ago it worked that way.

Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems

[John JD Denning]

I just sent the below to Apple accessibility. Have any other Apple Watch users 
experience problem setting the volume?




Hello, I’ve had an Apple Watch since it first came out. I just upgraded to a 
generation three GPS only model. I love the watch. But am experiencing some 
oddities that I haven’t previously had. Controlling the volume. I’ve tried the 
two finger tap and hold and move up or down and I can hear it say 60% 90% 70%. 
But no change in the volume also the numbers that it saying almost appeared to 
be random it doesn’t slowly go up as I move up and slowly go down as I move 
down it’s seem to jump around.

So OK I went to the watch app on my iPhone a plus. I set the voiceover volume 
there. And it doesn’t make any difference what I had it set at the volume 
doesn’t go up or down. I could set an 100% or I could set it at 40% it’s still 
the same. The VoiceOver speech rate does change when I change it on my phone. 
But not the volume.

Also over the last few days my Apple Watch has decided to connect with my 
AirPods. But the volume there is extremely faint I can hardly hear it. And I 
can’t find anyway to increase that volume. I tried the methods above, but 
nothing changes it. The Apple Watch software version is 4.0. My iPhone is 
11.0.2.
