Re: in public defense of those who beta test Apple software

Mail for me is now so much better. Reading threads is a smooth one handed 
option and I'm not even quite so upset about 3 finger tap for preview. That 
breaks the one hand option but still. Bring back hints preview for me and keep 
3 finger tap as well so when I turn off hints in a fit of rage when apple add

I don't know anyone who uses the basic model as it ends up being more confusing

the gaps with out dots on f and j was very slow. We both use touch typing which

Re: Questions re tactile covers

2016-02-22 Thread Danny Noonan
As the dots are reference points less dots IMO are far less confusing. Also at 
least with speed dots there is no grid. Just small dots aprox the size of a 
Braille dot and they in no way effect use of the touch screen. I find it easier 
and have more control than with plane glass which is more slippery. Moving 
icons is no harder or different with speed dots. 
Give it a try with an open mind and good chance you'll like it and if not it's 
only a few dollars lost. 
Oh, you can see the dots but my daughter and sighted friends have no trouble 
seeing the screen and I don't find it destroys the tactile asthetic either. 

Have a great day.

Re: Questions re tactile covers

2016-02-22 Thread Danny Noonan
I concidder myself a power user and although I can certainly use I devices 
without a speed dots on I do definately prefer the tactile. My wife and I use 
the advanced as the f and j home keys are enough. The entire keyboard minus 
home keys is harder to use IMO. The back edit 5 on the num pad etc just give 
quick reference points that help me find buttons that much quicker. Personal 
preference but my typing with tactile home keys is much faster along with 
general movement and orientation on the screen. 
If you decide only beginners need tactile screen covers then your not being 
open minded. Try it out and decide.

Re: E-mail bug on IOS.

2015-09-17 Thread Danny Noonan
I had it on a 4s and a 5s and it was anywhere I had to swipe through scrollable 
lists over multiple screens. Mail, settings etc and resets, restoring from 
backups and even full reset of all settings and data and a fresh install 
wouldn't fix it. 
The bug is fully gone as far as I can tell.

Re: IOS 9 impressions?

2015-09-17 Thread Danny Noonan
I have found 2 variants of the audio routing bug although neither is related to 
calls and neither is a big  problem.  All of these are with my headset in. 
If I have several audio apps loaded at the same time, in this case it was 
downcast voice dream and music, the voiceover volume reduced by about 40% and 
starting any audio the app volume would be low as well but soon slide back up 
to the set app volume. 
Taking apps out of the app chooser fixed it. 
Some times the play pause button on my headset stops working or plays music 
over or instead of my current audio apps. Either tapping the play button in the 
app or turning vo off and on fixes this. 
My ringer has been silent for a few seconds but then kicks in. 
Having said that I'm loving 9.

Adding members to office365

2015-08-25 Thread Danny Noonan
I just started my free trial of office 365 and attempted to add my family 
members but every time I enter an email address I am told I have to prove I'm 
not a robot. I click next and in Safari on the Mac and my iPhone I get
Safari can not make a secure connection to this server.
I've tried turning off wifi on the phone but it's the same on 4g. I've also 
tried crome on the iPhone and get a blank page. On the suggestion from 
Microsoft I deleted my cookies and history with no luck. Microsoft suggested I 
use a pc. What pc? I'm an apple guy. 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. 

Thanks.

Great to here. It's certainly made my life easier and far more productive. I

view work well on it. 

Have a great day and a tip if you want to set future date events in due, 
customising the quick times in settings helps. I have 1 day instead of 3 hours 
and 1 month in place of the 1 day.

Re: Recommendations for good ToDo app for iOS

I'm really enjoying due. It's quick and easy and you have total control over 
the amount of repetition.

Re: rebooting your iPhone

2015-06-27 Thread Danny Noonan
Turning the phone off and on is rebooting it like any computer. You can also do 
a quick reset by pressing the power/screen lock button and as mentioned a hard 
reset by holding power and home until the apple logo shows up on the screen or 
15 seconds or so if you can't see the logo. None of these options should do any 
harm. In the past sometimes a hard reset could turn off voiceover and perhaps 
brick the phone but I haven't herd of this for a good while. None of these 
options should cause a software reset but rather a hardware reset. Software 
resets are only from settings general reset. 

Having said this always attempt to have a recent backup because stuff happens 
even if unlikely. Cya always.

 Stupid question here. I have an iPhone 5S and am running the most current

 plus home button for a reboot of the phone. What’s the new command to do 
 this? 
 
 I just need to reboot as the phone is extremely wonky today. In the past, 
 rebooting has helped but I always forget the new command. I just turn it 
 off and back on but that doesn’t always fix the issue.

Re: The bug for Messaging on the I phone.

2014-03-13 Thread Danny Noonan
For most people this is a perfectly reasonable solution until the minor bug is 
addressed. For a minority with different usage needs or a lower tollerence to 
imperfection however this is of high importance. If a keyboard or Braille 
display  is used a distance from the I device for example moving to the device 
every time may be highly irritating and if there is a mobility issue through 
disability a broken foot etc etc this little bug gains a lot more importance. 

Regardless write to apple and help it get fixed for the good of us all as a bug 
is a bug is a bug and full functionalety via brl display or qwerty is the aim 
and intent. I don't want to have to pull my phone out of my bag on the train to 
write a message. Is it the end of the world, no but it is a pain. Smile.

 Hi,
 
 One thing to keep in mind is that messages will refuse to choose a contact 
 option that can't receive a message.
 Is the mobile number an iPhone?  If not, you might check in settings whether 
 or not you have sending sms turned off.
 If you know that the number in question is an iPhone but the field says 
 mobile, you might need to redo the contact and choose iPhone from the popup 
 rather than mobile if you're just wanting to send an iMessage.

 The bug for Messaging, I messaging is still on the I phone, you type

 there another way of getting to the messaging field where you type 
 the content of the message?
 
 Jonathan is absolutely right about typing with the Focus blue as I 
 haven't been using mine very much but its lovely. The only problem is 
 i can't write true UEB as Apple have strange ways of writing Braille

Re: Calendar in iOS

2014-03-12 Thread Danny Noonan
Go into any month and there is a list button top middle of the screen. This 
gives you a list of all events like it did in ios6. You ca move by headings or 
with a 3 finger swipe and pressing the today button bottom left focus will jump 
to the current date. 
Hope this helps.

Oh missed the bit about your list button not working. Sorry. In any month view

Re: Amazon Kendle App versuses Audiblee App

2014-02-24 Thread Danny Noonan
The only way to read kindle books on an iOS device is with the kindle app. Yes 
it uses the VoiceOver voice but the app has to be installed to access the 
books. 

Although amazon own audible and kindle this doesn't make them the same. Kindle 
books are ebooks so digital print/text books. Audible books as the name implies 
are audio books or talking books if you rather. They play in either the audible 
app or in the music app but in the music app have to be loaded from a computer. 

There are many more kindle titles and their usually cheaper but can only be 
listened to via your voice overs peach so you don't get human narration which 
can be a negative or a posative depending on several issues such as navigatio 
of material, quality of narration and personal preference.

Re: fantastical 2 is an app I like more than apple calendar

2013-10-31 Thread Danny Noonan
Go to Settings help and the last option is to contact them. 

I quite like the date ticker  only being the date as it suits it's function 
IMO. Also when date ticker is in focus a 3 finger swipe left or right moves by 
3 days. To add to that when the events section, ie events and reminders, roter 
on headings will move day by day and 3 finger swipe up or down will scroll 
larger amounts although I've found this a tad buggy as focus jumps back to my 
start point at times. I'll tap and hold on the month heading and jump straight 
to the date or nearbye it and then use the date ticker or headings in events to 
check round the date I want. 

Sorry if this is obvious to some. I've only played with the app for 40 minutes 
and with no mention of VoiceOver anywhere I had to reinvent the wheel a bit. 
It's a different beast to apples calendar app. Smile.

All your problems are caused by the intro tips. Once you do the 3 tasks it

When they say swipe or slide down vo users do a double tap and hold and when 
the tone sounds slide your finger down a bit. With this and double tap on the

 2. Welcome message remains displayed. The welcome message tells me to swipe

 3. Unable to open events or mark reminders as complete. Double tapping on

 Hi all,
 I feel like I saw this once, but maybe not. Is there a keystroke to jump

Re: Audiobooks

2013-09-26 Thread Danny Noonan
You don't sync audible books from computer to iOS. You download to the phone 
seperetly   

In the audible app make sure clowd is selected and then go to settings. Tap 
refresh entire library and then the book should show up in the list. Double tap 
on the book and you will find a download all option. 

Hope this helps. If you still have trouble I'll write a better description when 
I'm not so rushed.

Re: Battery Life on IOS 7

2013-09-24 Thread Danny Noonan
Obviously there are many variables as with all respect to your experience, most 
people neger get that kind of battery life even if not using there phone much 
at all. 

Ky battery life has gotten less and less from iOS 5 and took a huge reduction 
with 7. I religiously turn off wifi when out, keep apps shutdown between use, 
keep screen curtain on and brightness on 0 etc. I let my phone run down to 0% 
battery too and still have to recharge in the afternoon. I leave with 90% at 
7.40 and get home at 4.30 often with battery in single didjets having used the 
phone a maximum of 2 hours. 

Wanna swap phones made? :-)

 Hi,
 
 I'm not sure why many are having battery life issues with iOS 7.  I really 
 haven't noticed a significant difference from iOS 6 to 7.  I'm not on my

 to Manual, don't always close every app when I should, have FaceBook, 
 Calendar and a few other apps set to notify me even in the locked screen, 
 work in buildings with lots of block walls which affect signal strength and 
 numerous other normal iPhone usage factors.  An, I usually get over 48

 problems are necessarily an issue that an iOS update will fix, although, I 
 could very well be mistaken.  All concerns raised here are valid and that's 
 kind of why we have this list.
 
 So, what am I rambling on for?  Don't jump to conclusions, keep asking

Re: How to use loops in Garageband for iOS?

2013-08-27 Thread Danny Noonan
It can be done but there are major limitations at least in my experience.

To bring a loop into your project, double tap and hold Pass through and it 
will drop in the project. unfortunately as far as I'm aware there is no reel 
way to be able to choose where it goes unless you have a little site or very 
good screen awareness and even then… I've also found that after a while 
projects seem to break. I can no longer copy loops in or no matter what I try, 
they drop in the middle of other loops on other tracks.

As for resizing them, from memory and it has been a while, double tap on the 
loop within your project and handles should appear. You can double tap and hold 
on a handle to stretch or shrink the loop and if things are playing nicely, vo 
will give a vocal indication of how much your stretching/shrinking  much like 
when you move a track/loop etc.

Sorry if this isn't accurate, it's been a while and my memory aint so good any 
more. grin  There is a podcast on applevis about using garageband on iOS that 
may help refresh your skills.

Hope this helps a bit.

I'm not arguing with that. It's the way many programs deal with interaction 
that's the real problem in my opinion. Lots of separate sections with multiple

 other operating systems. I say that not because I want to see some other 
 approach duplicated, but because I've seen too much tunnel vision coming from 
 folks whose only experience is with one or another os.

Burn - Home

2013-07-31 Thread Danny Noonan
This is probably old news to many of you but my Brother just put me on to Burn. 
It's a great, simple and VO friendly disk burning app for the mac. I hate 
having to make play lists just to burn audio cd's in iTunes so when he shared 
this app it made my day.

Paste or drag and drop audio files including flack straight in to the app. Make 
mp3 audio, Data, video/dvd etc disks. 

The app has mp3 tagging and other features that I haven't played with so can't 
comment on there accessibility but for the price, free, being able to burn 
disks so easily is fantastic.

Find info on the app at
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html 

Hope this is of use to some.

Kind regards,
Danny.

Main Stage question.

2013-07-25 Thread Danny Noonan
I own MainStage. I guess it's Main Stage II as I got it earlier this year 
through the app store. I hadn't reinstalled it since my OS reinstall so decided 
to download it from the app store app from purchases. I get an error saying 
that the app is currently not available in the Australian app store. Any ideas? 

Thanks.

Labelling problem with iPhone.

2013-07-05 Thread Danny Noonan
I've been labelling some elements on my 4s in some third party apps like 
OPlayer and somehow now lots of edit fields and images/graphics are showing as 
name and not there correct labels. It's only happening to third party apps 
but when I can't read correct field titles in my banking app etc this little 
problem becomes huge. I do a lot on my 4s so any help would be very welcome 

I've taken all apps out of memory in app chooser, turned VO off and on, 
restarted my phone, done a 6 screen lock soft reset and a screen lock home 
button hard reset. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled apps all with no luck. 
Thanks in advance.

Re my mp3 from mp4 question: Extract audio from video Directly in Mac OS X Lion

2013-06-25 Thread Danny Noonan
Well, after asking the list how to extract audio from mp4 video files I slapped 
myself for only looking for an app solution and looked closer to home and what 
do you know, ML can do the job for me. I followed the below instructions but 
did a batch conversion which worked exactly the same even though the 
instructions only mention single file conversion. Hope this helps anyone 
wanting to do what I wanted to do.

Many thanks.

Extract Audio from Video Directly in Mac OS X Lion

Part 1: Extract M4A audio from video in MPG, M4V, MP4 and MOV (Mountain Lion 
included)
If you own Mac OS X Mountain Lion, you will find that it is easy to process Mac 
audio extraction. This latest Mac system comes with the ability allowing you to 
extract audio from video. The Finder on it has the new built-in feature of 
media encoding, which enables you to do the extraction simply. However, it does 
not mean that you are able to extract audio from every video file. You only can 
extract audio from video in MP4, MPG, M4V and MOV format. And the audio 
extracted from video only can be saved in M4A files with 256kbps.
Directly convert video to audio track on your Mac OS X Mountain Lion:

Right click the video icon you would like to convert;
In the pop-up menu, click Encode Selected Video Files option at the bottom;


Then you will go to the Encode Media window. In Setting tab, select Audio 
Only option;


Do not click the Same as source file option and set a destination to save the 
output audio. Last, Click Continue to start to extract audio from video;
After that, you will get the M4A audio in a short time. The output audio file 
will come with the same name as the original one. You can double click the 
audio to open it by iTunes.

If you didn’t see the Encode options, you can

Head to the Apple menu and go to System Preferences;


Click Keyboard;


Go to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab;
Choose Services on the left sidebar and check“Encode Selected Audio Files” and 
“Encode Selected Video Files”

 Hi all,
 Fusion is normally $50 i believe, but Dell has a DVD of the program for only

Apple Mail question.

2013-06-15 Thread Danny Noonan
I've had disk issues with my mac since day 1 and finally after 2 years talked 
apple into installing a new hard disk so I'm setting up from scratch again. 
With this in mind, I've somehow stumbled on the 48000 messages that were 
somehow stored on my mail server. There now all in an old messages folder in 
apple mail.

This is good because I don't have to try and grab the couple of thousand 
archive messages from my corrupted ccc boot disk backup but trying to work with 
1 folder with this many messages is painful. The amount of busy notifications 
and mail restarts is astounding. grin

My question is, I'm trying to apply message rules to this folder so that I can 
have list messages in appropriate folders to be able to work with them but all 
I can find is control option l to apply message rules. I've tried this in the 
folder with all message s highlighted and not highlighted but nothing seems to 
be working. Is there a way to force apple mail to apply rules to a specific 
folder or set of messages?

Thanks in advance and apologies for the next batch of questions in advance 
also..

Danny.

Re: Apple Mail question.

2013-06-15 Thread Danny Noonan
Thanks muchly for the tips. I didn't know the mail activity hotkey. That's 
great to have.

I decided I had to trim the monster mailbox  down to give mail a chance to be 
able to function at all so I've been experimenting with folder searches saved 
into smart folders where I can delete or move as required and it seems to be 
helping. I've gotten rid of 3 or 4  thousand so far but have a long way to go. 
turns out it was still downloading and there were 65000 messages when it had 
finished.. I'm frankly amazed mail can function at all with this. Windows would 
have pooped itself to death way before this. smile.

Thanks again.

Danny.

 Hi,
 
 I think the problem is that you've got so many messages and it will take a 
 long time for Mail to scan your messages and apply the rules. I've done this 
 before with a few thousand messages and I too thought nothing was hapenning 
 for a long time. I can't imagine what it would be like with 48 thousand. So, 
 my advice, after you try applying rules, press command-option-0 to view Mail 
 activity. Take a look and see if Mail is doing anything. If it is, then just 
 give it time. If not, then let us know and maybe someone will have more ideas.

Re: Bone conduction your phones with iPhone

2013-06-14 Thread Danny Noonan
You can use them for music but can't expect hifi quality. For hearing VO whilst 
still being fully aware of your surroundings they are amazingly good. My 
brother and I use them for calls as well and if the mike is placed well then 
they work perfectly well. 

I find them great in meetings class rooms etc.   At first going from never 
wearing them to 4 to 8 hours in a day I tended to get the occasional headache 
but that was a bunch of extreme changes of which the conduction was a small 
part. 

I love them and for me there worth every penny and the battery life s amazing.

Re: contacts manager in i phone

2013-06-14 Thread Danny Noonan
All things new iOS users deel with. Please don't think me patronising but 
frustration slows down the learning curve quite a lot. Everything is rational 
and accessible but not expected or in a manner most of us expect. ESP people 
like me from a windows background. 

The first thing to remember is that each field you want to add or change 
information in has to be made active like entering into forms mode in jfw. 
Touch a field like last name and then lift your finger and tap twice anywhere 
on the screen and this will activate the field. Touch to highlight the field or 
controll then 1 finger double tap to start editing. Sounds like your trouble is 
you don't do this again on the next field. The way to know an edit field is 
activated is when you touch the field it will say the field name followed by is 
editing. Eg in my mail message the subject says subject text field. Double tap 
to edit but the message body says message body text field editing. 

Some times you will find a back next and done button just above the keyboard. 
Think of them as shift tab tab and ok. Back and next will move you back and 
forth through the fields making your current field active automatically. Done 
Is pretty self explanatory. It's an ok button 
 for the mobile button, I don't know anyone who didn't think it was for putting 
in the number. Me and my friends sure did.  Smile. This is a button you can 
press to get a list of number types. There labels but in the case of iPhone, if 
someone has iPhone set for their number you can automatically send them 
iMessages saving SMS charges plus use FaceTime etc. not esenchal but very 
handy.

 Are you double tapping on each field in turn? Just flicking to the next 
 field is not enough, you must then tap on it to edit it.
 
 Next comes company then mobile button.  Thinking this is where I put 
 someone's mobile number I tap this and get some nonsense about labels
 This is the place where you can label the phone number. If the contact only 
 has a work and home number, you would hit the mobile button, choose work 
 or home, then hit done.
 
 If I cancel this and return to the add contact dialogue I find a mobile 
 phone text field that was not there previously.
 No, it was there all along, but when you get out of the labels screen you 
 are automatically focused on the field to enter the number you just labeled.
 
 This text field contains  a keypad I guess but then when I return to the 
 add contact screen once again I have to go all the way to the done field in 
 order to hopefully save the contact.  There has to be a better way.
 What do you mean by return? Once you are adding the number, just touch the 
 number field or the label button, then keep flicking right to enter 
 additional information.

Re: features I wish Apple would have included

I don't recall saying or implying that in any way what so ever. To tell someone 
their on the wrong list because someone said it would be nice to have some 
feature sets similar to android is however a sign of likely fanboy itas. In my 
home we have 2 apple tv's 2 MacBooks 4 iPhones, an AirPort Extreme and an iPod 
touch. I'm dug in the apple camp good and strong but do I think wanting new 
features and less restrictions means someone should nick off and go android? Of 
course not because I agree. Do I tell my 10year  old daughter perhaps she is in 
the wrong house as she likes my temp windows laptop?! Surely the difference 
between people who love apple and share their enjoyment and knolidge is obvious 
when compared with the stark black and white world of the fanboy. 

I currently have no plans to move to the dark side and go android for many 
reasons but if apple in the future drops the qualety and or accessibility ball 
ill certainly see if android in my own personal opinion has become a better 
choice for me with my totally personal and specific needs and expectations. 
Also I'm a child in a 39 year old body and respond childishly to snark like was 
shown in reply to a well thought out statement.

 Hi Danny.
 No, they did say that you would be able to access the control center
 through the lock screen. I also suspect that you'd have to go in to
 the status bar and then swipe up for it, since it's the opposite
 gesture of the notification center for sighted folks.
 Yes, the iPod 4 is out of the running, but really, it seemed a bit
 sluggish on iOS 6, so that's not surprising. I'd not run my iPhone 4
 on it, in fact, I roled back to iOS 5.1 on that. SO I ccan still have
 the lack of sluggishness and browse the web without the headings issue

 I think the suggestions are fair enough. They're all good things but 
 as was said it's a matter of opinion and people will differ.
 
 Personally, I think Dropbox is a more than adequate replacement to a 
 file management system. In fact it's much better than anything Apple 
 could do as it's cross platform and just awesome. So if you don't yet 
 use Dropbox, go get it now.
 
 As for typing, I'm not all that big on Flexy. I much prefer 
 BrailleTouch. But, with either app I still feel I really need the 
 built in iOS keyboard at the end to do any final editing. Neither of 
 those apps (Flexy and BrailleTouch) are very good at editing once 
 you've already typed. At least Flexy wasn't last time I used it 
 which, admittedly, was a while ago.
 
 I don't think I really need additional TTS on my iPhone for anything. 
 Hence I don't bother with VoiceDream. I don't mind an additional 
 100MB here or there on my device either as I tend to have much more 
 storage than I really need. I would, however, like the option to 
 download additional premium voices. I don't like being stuck with 
 only one premium voice and having to use compact voices for other 
 languages.

 Hello guys. I am having a really bizarre problem on my iPhone, and hope that 
 one of you may have some insight as to what might be going on.
 
 To be frankly honest, I do not check email very often on my phone, I 
 normally do so from my nac. I am noticing however, that when I double tap 
 the delete option, or swipe down with one finger through the actions rotor, 
 And go to delete an email, more specifically, move it to the trash folder, 
 if the email is Originally and my Gmail inbox, I am getting an error message 
 that states that the message cannot be moved to the trash folder. This is 
 completely absurd, as in all actuality, it really does move it. And I can 
 confirm this by looking in the Gmail trash folder, and when I do, the email 
 definitely is there. I am also successfully able to clean it out of the 
 trash folder with no problem whatsoever. This is just totally weird! Like I 
 said, I have no earthly idea when this problem started. I've only recently 
 noticed it. So yeah… If anyone Has any idea what the heck might be going on, 
 Please let me know; I am very intrigued. This is just wickedly strange. I 
 have Gmail configured on my phone using IMAP, not pop three. It is 
 exhibiting this problem both over Wi-Fi, as well as over LTE. I suppose that 
 I could remove the account, and re-added, however, I would rather not do 
 that unless it be absolutely necessary. At any rate, if any of you have any 
 earthly idea, as I said, let me know. No pressure, just curious.
 
 Have an absolutely magnificent, and blessed day.

Re: features I wish Apple would have included

2013-06-11 Thread Danny Noonan
Ill just add to this, since I was put onto FileBrowser on list recently I've 
fallen in love. It's integration with Dropbox, additional buildable file 
structure, built in media player,  unzip and ability to add pcs macs nas and 
additional cloud options like sky drive etc plus open files  in other apps 
gives me plenty of options for using my iDevices in more open, powerful and 
useful ways.

 it's cross platform and just awesome. So if you don't yet use Dropbox, go get 
 it now.
 
 As for typing, I'm not all that big on Flexy. I much prefer BrailleTouch. 
 But, with either app I still feel I really need the built in iOS keyboard at 
 the end to do any final editing. Neither of those apps (Flexy and 
 BrailleTouch) are very good at editing once you've already typed. At least 
 Flexy wasn't last time I used it which, admittedly, was a while ago.
 
 I don't think I really need additional TTS on my iPhone for anything. Hence I 
 don't bother with VoiceDream. I don't mind an additional 100MB here or there 
 on my device either as I tend to have much more storage than I really need. I 
 would, however, like the option to download additional premium voices. I 
 don't like being stuck with only one premium voice and having to use compact 
 voices for other languages.

Re: a couple questions about IOS 7

2013-06-11 Thread Danny Noonan
My guess is 3 finger swipe up but look at 3 finger flick to refresh as aposed 
to notifications which is tap status bar which is the top edge of the screen. 
VO only has so many reasonable ways to tap flick swipe slide etc. I'm not 
assuming VO is on or off but rather what possible forms of reasonable 
interaction still remain. Smile.

 Hi,
 
 This is assuming that action would be the same for Voiceover users.  I can 
 imagine Apple making this modified when VO is on.  Similar to notification

 instead of 3.

 For the record, iOS 7 will be available for the iPhone 4 and higher,

 confirm that it will be a fall release, but didn't specify a date. My
 somewhat educated guess would be September, but you really never can

Re: Kindle Books Not Opening or Downloading

2013-06-08 Thread Danny Noonan
Make sure the app is set on device. Then it's the standard iOS deletion method 
like in mail and messages. Swipe down when on an item and it should say delete. 
Double tap and the item should be gone. If 1 finger swipe down doesn't  say 
delete use the roter until it is on actions and then swiping down should say 
delete. 

Hope this helps.

Re: Kindle Books Not Opening or Downloading

2013-06-07 Thread Danny Noonan
Usual first steps  delete the app from memory in app switcher, restart your 
phone and reopen the app. If no luck with current samples try deleting a 
couple, re send them to your iDevice and if they open and original samples 
don't, rince and replete with the other samples. If none of this works 
uninstall the app and reinstall and try again. 

Sorry for no great solution. Hopefully someone has a proper solution.

 I've got a whole lot of Kindle book samples. I sent them from the 
 Amazon/Kindle website on Safari on my Mac to my iPhone. I can see all the 
 books on the home screen on the device tab. However, when I tap on a book, 
 nothing happens. The book doesn't open and doesn't start downloading. Well, 
 actually, one of the books downloaded and opened fine. But the others are not 
 doing anything.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 I'm using the first accessible version of the Kindle app on my iPhone 4S 
 running iOS 6.1.3.
 
 Thanks,
 Nic

Re: calendar alert

2013-06-06 Thread Danny Noonan
Sounds silly but have you deleted the calender app in app switcher and all 
other apps for that matter and restarted your phone? If all else fails delete 
from me memory and restart iOS device in my opinion.

 Hi All:
 It still isn't working.
 I went to default alert in the calendar settings.  It is set to sound an 
 alert 15 minutes before an event.  So I put two events in my calendar as an 
 experiment but the alert did not go off.  Any other suggestions?

Re: time machine or super duper

You want to do a full backup of your internal drive with superdooper and even 
better if you make it bootable. Time machine is a different kind of backup.

 Again, try File Browser. That is what what I'm using.

 I don't have that but ill hazard a guess. Do you have lots of reminders? If 
 so a multi page switcher may show as an alternate option to the 3 finger 
 swipe to scroll through screens of reminders.
 
 As I use calendars for most things I only have a few reminders in my lists.

 It's accessible but you have to feel round the screen for the time and date 
 pickers rather than swiping.
 
 
 
 To save some typing tap means double tap.
 Tap add reminder.
 Type the reminder name.
 Tap edit details which appears to the right of the text field.
 Tap  on a day.
 Now a date will appear right in the middle of the screen. If you use speed 
 dots its directly at the center dot.
 Tap the date. It should be today's date.
 It will now be selected and you now have to feel in the bottom section of 
 the screen where the time and date pickers have  appeared. It's important 
 that you touch the picker section of the screen as swiping will deselect the 
 date option in the middle of the screen and the pickers will go away until 
 you tap the date again.
 You can swipe between day, month, hour, minutes in 5 minute intervals and 
 am/pm but swipe outside the picker section and again, the pickers disappear.
 Tap the repeat button  for a screen with never, daily, every week, 2 weeks, 
 month or year options.
 You can also tap show more to get options to set priority, choose which 
 reminder list the reminder is in and to add text notes. Tap done when your 
 finished and that's that. .
 
 
 
 Hope this helps and holler with any more questions.
