Re: iPad Mini vs full-size
Gary, Having used the iPad since its original launch, I've used the iPad1, iPad2 and iPad no number, as well as now the Mini. I find typing no different, if not easier, I never did, so to speak, touch type on the iPad screen in landscape. I just held it in one hand and used the other to type one letter at a time, or, used Flksy. The Mini is easier as I can type in the same way I type on the iPhone, or, of course use Fleksy.

Birdclock
Hello, having seen the app birdclock on the applevis directory, I thought it was somehow usable with VoiceOver ,but it's actually not. As soon as you open the app, you can hear birds and water - nothing else. You can't change any settings at all, nor is it possible to read anything. It doesn't tell you the time either. And when I wanted to contact the developers, I found out that the website was written in a language that can't even be read by jaws. Clicking on a link called English didn't change anything at all. Do you have a recommendation what I could try to make this work? And if not: What's the exact process of returning an app? If all this isn't possible, I guess I will write an appropriate review.

Re: iTunes message when hooking up device -- what does this mean and what do I do?
Hi, Joney is correct; it's not a firewall issue at all; it just means that one of the services that iTunes needs to function properly hasn't started. Following Joney's steps simply starts the service. It's worth making sure that the service is set to automatic as opposed to manual. A more universal way of accessing services is by typing services.msc in the run dialog. If this doesn't work / the service doesn't start, from memory Apple actually let you download this component of iTunes on it's own, so one of us should be able to link you to it so you can do a reinstall. Cheers, Ben. On 11/9/12, Joney talk2o...@gmail.com wrote: I get this from time to time. I went to Apple's help section and this is what it says to do. Unplug your I device, turn off iTunes, go into control panel, click on administrative tools, click on services, arrow down to Apple Mobile Device, Right click on it and turn the service off. Right click on it again and turn it back on. Make sure it is set to automatic. Turn iTunes back and I device back on. It should load then. I've had to do this a few times. I think it is something going on in the latest version of iTunes or IOs6. Hope this helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: the big jam box or the Bose sound link mobil speker
Hi Steve, That was a great review. I have the big JamBox and have two questions. First, how does one answer phone calls with the unit? Also, how does one enable it to talk upon power up? Thanks. Les On Nov 8, 2012, at 3:04 PM, Steve pipeguy...@gmail.com wrote: Casey, I posted on this a couple weeks ago in a different discussion. I have both speakers. You can look at more in-depth reviews on either one on large sites like Amazon. First, as to sound quality and loudness. The Big Jambox is a bit louder than the Bose SoundLink. When we're in the hot tub, it is a bit harder to talk with the Jambox than the Bose, so the Jambox is slightly louder. As for sound quality, both are great. I'd say the Jambox has more presence. From an audiophile standpoint, presence is a slightly more marked or prevalent midrange. The Bose Soundlink, on the other hand, has slightly better bass, but I don't think the midrange or high-end is quite as crisp. Several Jambox reviews on Amazon have noted that you can, if you want, duplicate the extra bass by adjusting your iPod/iPhone equalizer. There is no, absolutely no, contest when it comes to usability. The Jambox wins hands-down. The Bose is basically a speaker-only. It has six buttons across the top; power, aux, bluetooth, a slight gap then mute, volume down and volume up. The only time the Bose will beep is when you plug in the charger or hold the bluetooth button in long enough (about ten seconds) to erase all the bluetooth memories. It is the size of a hard-back book and the cover opens to allow the speaker to stand on it. Closing the cover will turn off the speaker. The Bose has a bit shorter battery life than the Jambox, and there is no way to get feedback on remaining battery charge unless you can see the Led display and remember the two-button command. If you only plan to pair it with one device, then the following will probably not apply. However, if like us, you intend to pair it with more than one device, you will find that the pairing process can be a bit frustrating. Rarely, it will be nice and pair by just selecting the bluetooth option on the Bose. More often than not, I have to hold the bluetooth button in for three seconds to put it in discovery mode, go to the iPhone and go into Setting, General Bluetooth and select the Bose from the list. The Jambox, on the other hand, almost pairs too easily. At times, I've turned it on and it will automatically see my phone and pair. All of a sudden, the phone comes blasting through the speaker. Even though my wife and I alternate who's phone is going to play music on a particular day, we rarely have to go into settings on our iPhone to pair, the Jambox automatically remembers these things and will usually pair without any extra crap. Rarely, I've had to hit the bluetooth discovery button on the Jambox, but very rarely. In addition, the Jambox can be set up to talk whenevery you turn it on. It will tell you the battery level remaining, whether it is in discovery mode or not, whether you have normal or Live Mode selected, etc. The Jambox has two pushbutton switches on the side, the upper one is power, the bottom one is Bluetooth discovery. Across the top are six buttons. The left circular one is Talk and it will tell you battery level, the next one is Play/Pause if I recall, the next two are rewind and fast-forward (they work just like the rewind and fast-forward buttons on your music player, double-tap to go back or up to the next song; hold in for rewinding or fast-forwarding in a song), the final two buttons are minus and plus for volume. If you hold both those in, if I recall correctly, you switch between Normal and Live mode. The Jambox also has a microphone built in, so if you get a phone call, you can answer the phone. Both the Bose site and the Jambox site seem difficult to use if you want to update the software. I don't think an update is out yet for the Bigger Jambox. I've written Jambox support about the accessibility issues, and found them very responsive, but I don't think they have made any changes on their website. The one update I think I managed to do on the Bose Soundlink was a real challenge. I had to use the Jaws Convenient OCR as there were graphics you needed to click that none of the Windows-based screen-readers would recognize, and this also applied during the software installation process on the Soundlink.

Hallo the list, Well I just got my new, brand new, don't want to get bit twice!!! 4S and have a few quiieries. 1. I like to have the phone set to white on black however, unfortunately, this also turns all images into negatives, including apps such as Binoculars. I could live with this, if I could find a quick way to turn the setting back to normal, I.E. black on white. However, I just can't find a way to add this to the rotor or might I be able to ask Siri, my new acquaintance, to do it for me? 2. My dataplan is paid for my my partner, So is in his name. Well, Siri keeps calling me Hugh! I don't like it! Does anyone know how I can change Siri's address to me? 3. In mail things are working well with my Gmail account, but I don't seem to have access to my address book, I.E. when I fill in the address in the to field, I normally can just fill in vip and this list will come up in my choices, but this is not happening. Any suggestions? 4. I do keep getting the old try again later from Siri, is this just part of how things go? We do have a rather slow internet connection here, would this affect Siri? thanks for any hints and tips, especially the naming thing!!! Tia Sandy.

Re: New 4s setting up questions.
Sandra, am going to try to answer some of your queries: 2. My dataplan is paid for my my partner, So is in his name. Well, Siri keeps calling me Hugh! I don't like it! Does anyone know how I can change Siri's address to me? A: First, you need to add your personal info in a contact, open phone and select Contacts along the bottom, then hit the ADD button and do your best to fill in pertinent info. Now that you have your very own contact in the Contacts list, go to the home screen, select Settings, then select General, and finally select Siri. There is a button toward the bottom entitled My Name (or something akin), select that and select your own contact for that setting. Siri will politely address you as Sandra or whatever you place in the First Name field of your contact entry. 4. I do keep getting the old try again later from Siri, is this just part of how things go? We do have a rather slow internet connection here, would this affect Siri? I've never gotten that message, but I do have an iPhone 5 so there may very well be a performance affecting you in this matter. Try a simple request like, What time is it? The proceed with gradually more complicated requests, do you have the list of Siri commands? You can also ask Siri, What can you do? Holland's Boy, Bill - I spilled spot remover on my dog.

Re: Birdclock
Hi Alexandra. Not all apps listed on Applevis.com are accessible, and the review essentially stated what you said. The comments were the following: Accessibility Comments the stream sounds did work the first time I opened it; I must have inadvertently found the off button and touched it... because now I get no time OR chorus of birds and sound of stream VoiceOver Performance VoiceOver reads no page elements. Button Labelling No buttons are clearly labelled. Usability The app is totally inaccessible. I guess the bottom line here is to read reviews, and not assume because something is listed, that it is accessible. I think you need to submit a complaint to the iTunes store to get a refund, but I've never done the process myself.

Birdclock
Hello Scott, thanks for your reply. Yes, the next time, I will definitely read the complete review before buying an app. The beginning only consisted of the text that you can find on the app store, which made me think this could be accessible. I wrote to iTunes and asked for a refund but am not sure if this will work. Anyway, an issue that really bothers me is the fact that you can't write to the developer unless you speak his / her language. This was actually the first time I've seen a developer's website written in a language different from English.

Charging problem with Iphone 4 and latest IOS
Hi list, I have noticed a kind of a bug since I updated to latest IOS. In previous versions when charging process was done it said something like 100% charged. I hope I translated it right from my language. In latest version of IOS when charging process is done it still says 100% charging. When I unplug it for a second and plug it back on the charger, it says 100% charged. It is quite anoying because I really don't know when my phone is fully charged until I unplug and plug it back on the charger. Does anyone have it happen? Is it possible to get it fixed?

RE: Volume when on a call
Hi Barbara, Only thing you can do is add Volume to the rotor and then once you are on a call, turn the rotor to volume, flick Voiceover volume up to 100% and try and turn down the call volume using the volume down button. You have to make of course sure that change volume with buttons is turned on in Sounds. If that doesn't work you are one of the small percentage of people (at least according to Apple Accessibility it's a small percentage) who are affected by this. They also told me that it mainly affects iPhone 4S users, but if you have a 5 and experience this then apparently that is not so. This is definitely a bug on my 4S and I have tried everything they suggested including turning off SIRI which they told me could have an effect, but it made no difference. I suggest you definitely want to write accessibil...@apple.com and tell hem that you are having this issue on an iPhone 5. For those who have that problem I would say it's the most serious iOS 6 issue because it really makes it very hard and in louder environments impossible to place a call where you have to enter numbers while following prompts from a system. You can, of course, get around this by using the headset.

RE: iCloud on a Windows machine
Hello Marcy, iCloud.com is not very accessible on a PC under any version of Windows/IE/Firefox and for that matter it is my understanding that it is no more accessible on a Mac. I do find it somewhat accessible, I use Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9 and I have, for example, been able to make my iPhone ring by using the Jaws cursor a lot. But it took me a while and I haven't tried to duplicate it. If you want to sync Photos, Internet Explorer Favourites etc. you have to download the iCloud application and install it, it's a pretty simply program with only a few options and it's accessible.

RE: Copying my iTunes library from one PC to another
Shane, You can copy it any way you like, put it on a USB stick an external hard drive or if you have both computers hooked up together into the same router you should be able to access the hard drive of the old computer from the new computer or vice versa. I suggest after you install iTunes on the new computer to just copy the entire iTunes Media folder, it is a subfolder in the main iTunes folder which usually is a subfolder of the Music folder. After you copied it, open iTunes on the new computer, select File and Add Folder to Library then browse to the iTunes Media folder and select it. This will populate all your libraries (music, apps, books, tones etc.) with whatever content you have. Good luck, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Charging problem with Iphone 4 and latest IOS
Hello Mária, I have an iPhone 4S and my phone will say Charging device battery, 100% which usually means it's more or less fully charged, but I also have seen it say 100% on AC power which to me indicates that now it is definitely fully charged but since it's still plugged in it will state it's on AC power. I do agree that sometimes it does not seem to switch to the 100% on AC power message and instead continue to say 100%, charging.

my facebook calendar on my iPhone
Hello everyone, I am trying to get my calendars straight. I have the facebook ap, plus I have my calendar. When ever I have siri if I have an appointment on a particular date, she says, yes and gives me the birthdays of my friends on that day. The thing I am interested in at the time is my calendar with my appointments. Any way to hide the facebook calendar that she won't give me those birthdays? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Charging problem with Iphone 4 and latest IOS
Hi Sieghard and all, yes, you are right. Sorry for the wrong translation. I meant in previous versions it always said 100% on AC power. Now it says what I have described in previous e-mail. I thought it is a bug as I've never had it before. I would also like to hear other opinions about it.

RE: iCloud on a Windows machine
Hi Scott, I wouldn't quite go that far, as I stated in my previous message, you can learn to do quite a bit on iCloud.com with the Jaws cursor and knowing how to fully utilize Jaws on websites, but it does take a bit of practice and it helps to have some sighted help explaining the first time around what's going on. For example, when I first go to iCloud.com and go to the Sign In button nothing happens if I press enter or space bar. However, if I route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor and then do a single left click I get the edit fields for my Apple Id and password. Enter your Apple Id, then your password and press enter and it will sign you in. I just signed in and, for example, went to Reminders. I was able to once again use the Jaws cursor to click on it and I can see my Reminders. I could click on a Reminder, then was able to click the Details button with the Jaws cursor and it then gave me the options to Delete or click Done since that particular reminder happened yesterday, but I hadn't marked it as Done. I clicked Delete with the Jaws cursor and the reminder was gone from my iPhone as well as iCloud. Now, after that I was not able to get out of the Reminders area on iCloud so I had to close it and log back in. Then I went to Find my iPhone and I was once again able to use the Jaws cursor, click on Devices, I then got a My Devices and after clicking on that I saw Sieghard's iPhone and it told me it had been located 4 minutes ago which is probably when I signed in to iCloud. Once I got to that I had buttons I could click for Play Sound, Erase iPhone which obviously I did not try and a few others I can't recall. I clicked the Play Sound button and my iPhone which was next to me started dinging away. I don't use Mail or Contacts, but it definitely is possible to use iCloud to some extend.

Re: New 4s setting up questions.
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.

RE: Volume when on a call
Hi Barbara, I think I misunderstood then. I thought you were referring to entering numbers during a call using the speakerphone like when you call your bank for example and have to enter your account number etc. If you just can't hear Voiceover announce who is calling you should be able to adjust that with the Voiceover volume rotor and once it is set you won't have to do it again. As far as finding the Answer button that also is easy. Just put your finger on the Home Key, then slide it up and a bit to the right (about 1 or 2 o'clock from the Home Key, and you will be on the answer button. Alternatively you can use a 2-finger double tap. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

How to get rid of a blank home screen that's not at the end
Hello, list, I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS 5 to 6.0.1. I have about 9 full screens of apps. When the new Passbook appp was added it became the only app on page 2. Thankfully all other screens had their app order and folders preserved. But, even after moving Passbook off of screen 2 it remains blank. I suspect I will have to manually move everything up one page but I'm hoping someone has a magic bullet to simply correct this.

Re: How to get rid of a blank home screen that's not at the end
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, maybe a reset, where you hold the Home and Power buttons down for about 8 seconds. Or connecting the iPHone to the computer and syncing. I hope one of these ideas helps.

Les On Nov 8, 2012, at 3:04 PM, Steve pipeguy...@gmail.com wrote: Casey, I posted on this a couple weeks ago in a different discussion. I have both speakers. You can look at more in-depth reviews on either one on large sites like Amazon. First, as to sound quality and loudness. The Big Jambox is a bit louder than the Bose SoundLink. When we're in the hot tub, it is a bit harder to talk with the Jambox than the Bose, so the Jambox is slightly louder. As for sound quality, both are great. I'd say the Jambox has more presence. From an audiophile standpoint, presence is a slightly more marked or prevalent midrange. The Bose Soundlink, on the other hand, has slightly better bass, but I don't think the midrange or high-end is quite as crisp. Several Jambox reviews on Amazon have noted that you can, if you want, duplicate the extra bass by adjusting your iPod/iPhone equalizer. There is no, absolutely no, contest when it comes to usability. The Jambox wins hands-down. The Bose is basically a speaker-only. It has six buttons across the top; power, aux, bluetooth, a slight gap then mute, volume down and volume up. The only time the Bose will beep is when you plug in the charger or hold the bluetooth button in long enough (about ten seconds) to erase all the bluetooth memories. It is the size of a hard-back book and the cover opens to allow the speaker to stand on it. Closing the cover will turn off the speaker. The Bose has a bit shorter battery life than the Jambox, and there is no way to get feedback on remaining battery charge unless you can see the Led display and remember the two-button command. If you only plan to pair it with one device, then the following will probably not apply. However, if like us, you intend to pair it with more than one device, you will find that the pairing process can be a bit frustrating. Rarely, it will be nice and pair by just selecting the bluetooth option on the Bose. More often than not, I have to hold the bluetooth button in for three seconds to put it in discovery mode, go to the iPhone and go into Setting, General Bluetooth and select the Bose from the list. The Jambox, on the other hand, almost pairs too easily. At times, I've turned it on and it will automatically see my phone and pair. All of a sudden, the phone comes blasting through the speaker. Even though my wife and I alternate who's phone is going to play music on a particular day, we rarely have to go into settings on our iPhone to pair, the Jambox automatically remembers these things and will usually pair without any extra crap. Rarely, I've had to hit the bluetooth discovery button on the Jambox, but very rarely. In addition, the Jambox can be set up to talk whenevery you turn it on. It will tell you the battery level remaining, whether it is in discovery mode or not, whether you have normal or Live Mode selected, etc. The Jambox has two pushbutton switches on the side, the upper one is power, the bottom one is Bluetooth discovery.

RE: Volume when on a call
Hi Barbara, The iPhone keeps track of different volume settings which is why Voiceover normally could be fine but low when it announces the caller Id. SIRI, for example, also remembers its own volume setting and you have to adjust these once after which it should remember. You can only adjust something like SIRI volume or Voiceover announcing something like caller Id by adjusting it while the event is speaking, e.g. if you want to lower SIRI volume you would have to ask SIRI something and then when SIRI is speaking you have to lower the volume using the volume down key. For caller Id I don't think you can use the volume keys because that would most likely raise or lower the ring volume. Keep in mind that pressing the volume button when the phone rings actually stops it from ringing again and then you could touch the screen or flick to the call display and possibly raise the volume with the button as it is announcing the caller. You just have to try it, if you have a landline you could call yourself and test whether this works.

From: Sieghard Weitzel mailto:siegh...@live.ca Sent: Friday, November 09, 2012 4:30 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Volume when on a call Hi Barbara, I think I misunderstood then. I thought you were referring to entering numbers during a call using the speakerphone like when you call your bank for example and have to enter your account number etc. If you just can't hear Voiceover announce who is calling you should be able to adjust that with the Voiceover volume rotor and once it is set you won't have to do it again. As far as finding the Answer button that also is easy. Just put your finger on the Home Key, then slide it up and a bit to the right (about 1 or 2 o'clock from the Home Key, and you will be on the answer button. Alternatively you can use a 2-finger double tap. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

A: First, you need to add your personal info in a contact, open phone and select Contacts along the bottom, then hit the ADD button and do your best to fill in pertinent info. Now that you have your very own contact in the Contacts list, go to the home screen, select Settings, then select General, and finally select Siri. There is a button toward the bottom entitled My Name (or something akin), select that and select your own contact for that setting. Siri will politely address you as Sandra or whatever you place in the First Name field of your contact entry. 4. I do keep getting the old try again later from Siri, is this just part of how things go? We do have a rather slow internet connection here, would this affect Siri? I've never gotten that message, but I do have an iPhone 5 so there may very well be a performance affecting you in this matter. Try a simple request like, What time is it? The proceed with gradually more complicated requests, do you have the list of Siri commands? You can also ask Siri, What can you do? Holland's Boy, Bill - I spilled spot remover on my dog.

Documents 2
Hello List, I have a strange question to ask, today I was at a conference. I was taking notes using the free version of Documents 2 with my iPad 3rd gen running iOS 6.01 using a bluetooth keyboard (a logitech solar keyboard/case) I was able to take notes and then suddenly half way through the conference my keyboard started acting funny. I'd hit the key and it would put a number of whatever key I pressed into the documment. but only in that document it wa find in other appss. Any thoughts? Many thanks.

Re: ivona?
Hi Casey. I'm not sure what voices you're referring to. You can't use third-party voices with the Voiceover on the iPhone. However, app developers make apps with voices built in to them. If you were referring to the Cereproc voices that I talked about, those are only available for the Mac and Windows. If you have a Mac, email me off list and I'll give you the URL of these voices. -- Shawn Sent from my white MacBook using SamNet -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Can't connect to outside world on WiFi
Hi all, I have a very strange problem. I can't get my apps to connect. Facebook, Twitter, Track This the App store won't connect when using WiFi. I know my WiFi is working because my laptop connects to it and works just fine. Since it does, my Internet provider won't help because the connection is there and working. They say they don't support devices. Strange thing is that, when I connect to another WiFi away from home, things work well. When I turn off my WiFi, the phone works just fine on 3G. By the way, I am using an IPhone 4 Any ideas? Ron Danvers I was wondering if I should reset the network settings but I don't want to do that in case I only make things worse A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Re: Can't connect to outside world on WiFi
I had a similar problem after updating to IOS 6.0.1. I reset my network settings and then reconnected to my home wifi and everything has been fine since.

Re: ICloud -- What's the best way to leverage the free storage space for the most value in backing up iDevices?
If you turn on iCloud Backup, that will back up your app data, text messages, call history and so forth to iCloud, giving you a great safety net. Under settings/iCloud/Storage and Backup/Manage Storage, you can select the backup section pertaining to your device, and then turn off specific apps from having their data backed up if you find that backups are too large. Also under this same manage storage section, you can see which apps are syncing to iCloud. Separate from backup, this allows an app to synchronize data with iCloud which offers a number of advantages. For example, Downcast can sync with iCloud meaning your podcast subscriptions can be available on any iOS device that you own. Some data is synced to iCloud which you just can't see at all, an example being the Fleksy dictionary, and certain settings such as which cities you've added to the weather app. I'm a bit unclear on why these can't be seen by the user, but it's not a big deal. For just storing regular files in iCloud, there's no direct way to do it but you can download a file manager app such as Filer and transfer files into the app by any means that you wish. As long as iCloud Backup is turned on, those files will be backed up as part of the data for the file manager app. Also, go nuts with the photo stream, as it doesn't count towards your iCloud storage quota!

Help with my rotor please
Hello all, I can't seem to find the vertical navigation, or action in my rotor. I find actions when I'm in my email app, but When I'm my rotor itself, I can't seem to find actions anymore.
