Re: Turn-By-turn Directions Only With Car Mode In Navigon

2014-06-24 Thread Richard Turner
Go into settings, then route, and flick right to pedestrian,   and if it says 
pedestrian  pedestrian mode, then double tap pedestrian and flick right to 
where it says pedestrian mode with street announcements and double tap.
See if that was the trouble.
This also assumes you have the setting under sound to include voice with street 
names.
HTH,
Richard

 Hello Folks,
 
 I started to play around with MBraille and Blind Square. All things worked 
 well, but this is what I observed in Navigon as my choice for GPS navigation. 
 When in pedestrian mode, there is only a button to recall the directions and 
 no link or button for turn-by-turn directions. One will only get turn-by-turn 
 dihections when the car mode is selected. Am I missing something here or is 
 it something that I am just discovering now after all these yearshis Just FYI.
 
 Best,

RE: IOS ceveloper program renewal help

Hello Scott,

You do not need to purchase a Mac OS developer subscription to renew or to
purchase an iOS developer subscription.

I don't know which screen reader or internet browser with which you are
accessing the Apple Developer website but make sure you have the latest
version of your preferred web browser.  Internet Explorer 9 and earlier no
longer play well with many of Apple's websites.  If you don't want to update
IE, then use the latest version of Firefox.  

Good Luck,

2014-06-24 Thread Joseph FreeTech
I think you should cite where you found the information regarding Internet 
Explorer 9 and earlier no longer play well with apple websites. I'm only 
asking for a citation because many having problems finding information or 
using the apple website might use your information and conclude that the 
troubles are due to Internet Explorer 9 when this might not be the case at 
all. the end result will be tons of postings blaming Internet Explorer 9 
which will then result in tons of subsequent posts stating Internet Explorer 
9 is finding Apple webpages just fine. In short, just trying to lessen the 
list bulk a little. Smile.

RE: iTunes help needed

2014-06-24 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Lori,

Oh my.  The thought of you spending so much time trying to get iTunes up and
running, breaks my heart.  

Thank you for answering my questions.  In a nutshell, your answers confirm
what I had feared might be the case.  In no way am I suggesting that you
cannot get iTunes up and running but you have quite a few hardware and
software challenges stacked up against you.  

As rose writes in a subsequent post to this thread, you might consider
uninstalling all Apple components from your computer via the Add/Remove
Control Panel and simply reinstall iTunes.  

Please note that I suggest that you first uninstall iTunes and all Apple
components.  Merely installing iTunes over itself will most likely not
resolve your problem.  

Also keep in mind that, from your computer's perspective, iTunes is a memory
hog--especially where screen-reading software is concerned.  

Finally, please remember that none of this is your fault.  You have done
absolutely nothing wrong.  

Mark

Hi Mark,

Yes, I know I have been getting some excellant advice. No, I haven't been
able to open up iTunes yet. I tried for most of the day and evening
yesterday to get iTunes  to open up but with no luck.

I can't believe that after successfully importing 2 out of 3  of my CD's to
iTunes and then doing the necessary  steps to sync my CD's to my iPhone that
I would have problems doing the third CD. I thought I was doing good by
successfully importing 2 of my CD's to iTunes and then on  to my phone on my

But this third and final CD and iTunes have been challenging and very
frustrating for me.

I will post my answers under each of your questions.

1. What version of windows are you using?
I'm using windows xp.

2. Which  screen reader, if any are you using?
I'm using Jaws.

3. Do you have any residual vision that you can use to see if iTunes is or
is not launching?

Yes, I have a little bit ofvision to where I can see if iTunes is launching
or not.
4. How old is your computer?

My computer is old. I don't know how old because I got this computer from a

Re: iTunes help needed

2014-06-24 Thread Arnold Schmidt
Let me say:  Please don't let these very unfortunate experiences, the 
non-opening, and the not being able to import that third cd yet, 
permanently ruin your overall thinking about iTunes, or your iPhone.  The 
non-opening experience probably is not your fault, really, something has 
gone wrong with the files on your computer that is causing your problem.  I 
don't know if you are one of them, but some people would let themselves  be 
completely put off toward iTunes by this incident happening so near the 
beginning of their experience with it.  Please don't let this happen to you. 
Before you had this not opening problem to occur,  I had written a response 
to you as to how to get it to import that third cd, which I have saved in my 
drafts folder.  I will wait to send it, after you get iTunes working again.

  Hello!

  I just released version 2.2, it should be found on App Store soon.

  *Release Notes:*
  - NEW: You can now operate BlindSquare using a bluetooth keyboard, a
  notetaker or a Braille display supporting text input. Type a question mark
  to see a list of all possible commands. To read the help about a specific
  command, type it followed by a question mark.
  - NEW: Plan A Route now supports multiple versions of Navigon installed on
  one device.
  - NEW: When you are in a list of places, you can now double-tap and hold 
  on
  a place to open a quick access menu that lets you track the place, plan a
  route, show it on the map, and simulate it.
  - NEW: BlindSquare now uses GPS and your direction of movement to detect
  how your phone is positioned. This means it is no longer necessary to 
  carry
  your device with its back pointing in the direction you are traveling.
  - NEW: BlindSquare now uses a better database of intersections for the US;
  this should make intersection information more reliable.
  - CHANGE: When sharing a place, you can now edit its name and address.
  - CHANGE: The subcategories listed in Category Searches are now listed
  alphabetically.
  - FIX: The Current Location function in the Audio Menu now also works when
  the Current Location function has been disabled in the shake settings.
  - FIX: A bug where simulation would not always start immediately has been
  resolved.

Hello Joseph,

The  information regarding earlier versions of IE not playing nicely with
many of Apple's websites comes from (1) MarkTaylor who spends a great deal
of time on various Apple websites with many different computers running
various versions of IE and (2) Apple's warning message that may pop-up when
attempting to access certain of its sites with older web browsers.

I think you should cite where you found the information regarding Internet
Explorer 9 and earlier no longer play well with apple websites. I'm only
asking for a citation because many having problems finding information or
using the apple website might use your information and conclude that the
troubles are due to Internet Explorer 9 when this might not be the case at
all. the end result will be tons of postings blaming Internet Explorer 9
which will then result in tons of subsequent posts stating Internet Explorer
9 is finding Apple webpages just fine. In short, just trying to lessen the

RE: iTunes help needed

2014-06-24 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Lori,

I completely second Arnold's sentiment.  

iTunes, even on Windows, in my never-to-be humble opinions, is one of the
most effective and easy-to-use content managers I've ever used.  

In fact, when setting up new Windows computers for people, I always install
iTunes even if they do not have an iOS device.  I do this because, once
understood, many find that they prefer it to some other popular
Windows-based content managers.

Hi Mark,

Yes, I know I have been getting some excellant advice. No, I haven't been
able to open up iTunes yet. I tried for most of the day and evening
yesterday to get iTunes  to open up but with no luck.

I can't believe that after successfully importing 2 out of 3  of my CD's to
iTunes and then doing the necessary  steps to sync my CD's to my iPhone that
I would have problems doing the third CD. I thought I was doing good by
successfully importing 2 of my CD's to iTunes and then on  to my phone on my
own.

But this third and final CD and iTunes have been challenging and very
frustrating for me.

I will post my answers under each of your questions.

1. What version of windows are you using?
I'm using windows xp.

2. Which  screen reader, if any are you using?
I'm using Jaws.

3. Do you have any residual vision that you can use to see if iTunes is or
is
not launching?

Yes, I have a little bit ofvision to where I can see if iTunes is launching
or not.
4. How old is your computer?

My computer is old. I don't know how old because I got this computer from a
friend.

5.

Is your computer connected to the Internet via a cable or via Wifi?

by WiFi.

If you have anymore questions to ask me don't hesitate to email me. Take
care.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a quick search of the Apple.com support pages 
and found nothing regarding problems with the combination of the Apple 
website and Internet Explorer 9. I did find some references to the need for 
a plug-in and such, but plug-ins are common for many products.

In short, it appears that those using Internet Explorer 9 need not worry 
about problems with Apple webpages and access to content beyond what one can

 Subject: IOS ceveloper program renewal help
 
 Hi List:
 
 Specifically for the developer account holders on this list, has Apple
 changed its policies? Do you need a macc and IOS developer account now to
 beta test  My account is about ready for renewal, and I was going to do that
 both by computer and my iPhone with voiceover, but when I click on the IOS
 developer program check box, the next screens try to addd a mac developer
 program as well.  Any help with this  would be appreciated as I don't want
 to pay for a program I won't use.  If you'd like you can email me privately
 at s_vang...@msn.com so as not to clutter the list with this.  Thanks for
 any help!

Re: iTunes help needed

2014-06-24 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm not Mark, but on Windows I've used both Windows Media Player and 
Winamp, which are both accessible content managers. I've also used 
FooBar, which I consider more of a media player rather than a content 
manager, but there are quite a few plugins out there that let you manage 
your content with FooBar.

Hello Lori,

I completely second Arnold's sentiment.

iTunes, even on Windows, in my never-to-be humble opinions, is one of the
most effective and easy-to-use content managers I've ever used.

In fact, when setting up new Windows computers for people, I always install
iTunes even if they do not have an iOS device.  I do this because, once
understood, many find that they prefer it to some other popular
Windows-based content managers.

Let me say:  Please don't let these very unfortunate experiences, the
non-opening, and the not being able to import that third cd yet, permanently
ruin your overall thinking about iTunes, or your iPhone.  The non-opening
experience probably is not your fault, really, something has gone wrong with
the files on your computer that is causing your problem.  I don't know if
you are one of them, but some people would let themselves  be completely put
off toward iTunes by this incident happening so near the beginning of their
experience with it.  Please don't let this happen to you.
Before you had this not opening problem to occur,  I had written a response
to you as to how to get it to import that third cd, which I have saved in my
drafts folder.  I will wait to send it, after you get iTunes working again.

Hi Mark,

Yes, I know I have been getting some excellant advice. No, I haven't been
able to open up iTunes yet. I tried for most of the day and evening
yesterday to get iTunes  to open up but with no luck.

I can't believe that after successfully importing 2 out of 3  of my CD's to
iTunes and then doing the necessary  steps to sync my CD's to my iPhone that
I would have problems doing the third CD. I thought I was doing good by
successfully importing 2 of my CD's to iTunes and then on  to my phone on my
own.

But this third and final CD and iTunes have been challenging and very
frustrating for me.

I will post my answers under each of your questions.

1. What version of windows are you using?
I'm using windows xp.

2. Which  screen reader, if any are you using?
I'm using Jaws.

3. Do you have any residual vision that you can use to see if iTunes is or
is
not launching?

Yes, I have a little bit ofvision to where I can see if iTunes is launching
or not.
4. How old is your computer?

My computer is old. I don't know how old because I got this computer from a
friend.

5.

Is your computer connected to the Internet via a cable or via Wifi?

by WiFi.

If you have anymore questions to ask me don't hesitate to email me. Take
care.

Since you say that you're with T-Mobile, then you're going to need a GSM
MVNO. I hear that AllTel and Straight Talk are pretty good. You could just
stick with T-Mobile since their cheapest Simple Plan is something like
$40.00 for unlimited talk, text and 500 mb of data.

I use Ting which uses the Sprint network and am paying around $50.00 a month
for both my wife and I. Ting wouldn't work for you as the GSM phone won't
work on the Ting/Sprint CDMA network. That and Ting doesn't yet support the
5C.

I think ATT has started to offer so-so attractive pre-paid smart phone
plans too, but perhaps someone whose using ATT or one of the other GSM MVNO
companies can chime in with more accurate information.

Re: Turn-By-turn Directions Only With Car Mode In Navigon

2014-06-24 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hi Richard,

I just checked the settings and pedestrian with voice annoucements is 
selected. The difference that I observed through VO speaking was after the 
address was entered and the first start route was double tapped on to select 
the type of route to be used. When in pedestrian mode in the options, there 
isn't a button for turn-by-turn directions like seen with the car mode. I was 
just wondering if I am just discovering this now or is it a bug that I never 
knew about. Thanks for your response.

Best,
Eileen

 See if that was the trouble.
 This also assumes you have the setting under sound to include voice with

Yes, it's definitely one of the more expensive apps out there, but it is
also very good and the developer has released some pretty major updates with
lots of new features and given this history will probably continue to do so.
Sometimes you do get what you pay for and if you pay more you get more.

 It should be pointed out that   Blind Square in the app store is 29
 dollars
 so you can start saving up if you want it.  If you haven't got a GPS
 app
 this app should do you nicely.

   Hello!

   I just released version 2.2, it should be found on App Store soon.

   *Release Notes:*
   - NEW: You can now operate BlindSquare using a bluetooth keyboard, a
   notetaker or a Braille display supporting text input. Type a
question
 mark
   to see a list of all possible commands. To read the help about a
 specific
   command, type it followed by a question mark.
   - NEW: Plan A Route now supports multiple versions of Navigon
 installed on
   one device.
   - NEW: When you are in a list of places, you can now double-tap and
 hold
   on
   a place to open a quick access menu that lets you track the place,
 plan a
   route, show it on the map, and simulate it.
   - NEW: BlindSquare now uses GPS and your direction of movement to
 detect
   how your phone is positioned. This means it is no longer necessary
to

   carry
   your device with its back pointing in the direction you are
 traveling.
   - NEW: BlindSquare now uses a better database of intersections for
the
 US;
   this should make intersection information more reliable.
   - CHANGE: When sharing a place, you can now edit its name and
 address.
   - CHANGE: The subcategories listed in Category Searches are now
 listed
   alphabetically.
   - FIX: The Current Location function in the Audio Menu now also
works
 when
   the Current Location function has been disabled in the shake
 settings.
   - FIX: A bug where simulation would not always start immediately has
 been
   resolved.

   Johanna did a podcast demonstrating how you can use a bluetooth
 keyboard:

Hey, Alan, et al,

I think I saw those same keyboards for the Minis as well. My thought is 
that in that case, the only difference between the two iPads is screen 
size, which I don't care about, since I have no sight. They are about $100 
US different in price. They have the same chip, right? Of course, the 
keyboards for each might be different. I could see the iPad Air having a

RE: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts

2014-06-24 Thread Grant Hardy
You're right, some of the settings in the iCloud Control Panel don't read
that well with JAWS, but it can be done. If you use JAWS 15, the touch
cursor is best in my view; otherwise the JAWS cursor should be used in
certain dialog boxes. Also, there is no way to adjust these settings other
than in the iCloud Control Panel app itself. They cannot be adjusted on the
iCloud website.

Since you've already turned syncing on, my suggestion would be to simply
delete any contacts or groups you don't want from the iCloud data set. Keep
in mind that any contacts which were synced have been removed from your
local data file in Outlook and placed into the iCloud data set. I think they
are placed in the Deleted Items folder. So, make sure you have a local copy
of them before removing them.

Hope this helps,

Grant

Hi Cher,

I Work is not required for contacts and calendar syncing, in fact there are
no native iWork apps for Windows at all. That article that you linked to in
your last message was talking about the requirements for syncing and editing
documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You may safely ignore that
requirement.

As for contacts, calendars and reminders sync, I am using Outlook 2013 and
have never used Outlook 2007 before with iCloud. However, Apple's own
knowledge base clearly states that Outlook 2007 should work fine, so I
believe the representative you spoke to was incorrect.

Try to follow all the troubleshooting steps linked to in these articles. Be
sure to double-check whether or not the iCloud add-in for Outlook is
disabled, because in my experience this is often the cause of broken
syncing.

iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
Also check out this third party site for other tips and workarounds:

Not sure what screen reader you're using, but if it's JAWS, I'd be happy to
connect to JAWS Tandem with you and see if I can help at all (no guarantees,
though). You could also try contacting Apple telephone support and see if
they can advise you. Off the top of my head, though, I can't remember if
they would provide support for their Windows applications, but if you can
tie it in to a question about your iOS device, they might be able to provide
some suggestions.

Hi Cher, in terms of your contacts/calendars/reminders, iCloud is simply the
central repository for your data. The idea is to store your data in the
cloud then sync it to any devices that you want, such as to an iPhone, an
iPad, and perhaps Outlook on a PC. You can also collaborate with other
people by having, say, a shared calendar that everyone in your family can
add to or change whenever they want, and the results are pushed to
everyone's devices. It's a way to sync your data from device to device
without having to think about it or connect any wires. It has nothing to do
with iCloud backup. That is a totally separate function of iCloud.

I'm really sorry it's not working for you. Did you take a look at the
support article I sent you and follow all the troubleshooting steps in it?
When configured correctly, it's a beautiful thing.

You need to save them while the recording is in progress, such as by adding

Hello!

I just released version 2.2, it should be found on App Store soon.

*Release Notes:*
- NEW: You can now operate BlindSquare using a bluetooth keyboard, a
notetaker or a Braille display supporting text input. Type a question mark
to see a list of all possible commands. To read the help about a specific
command, type it followed by a question mark.
- NEW: Plan A Route now supports multiple versions of Navigon installed on
one device.
- NEW: When you are in a list of places, you can now double-tap and hold
on
a place to open a quick access menu that lets you track the place, plan a
route, show it on the map, and simulate it.
- NEW: BlindSquare now uses GPS and your direction of movement to detect
how your phone is positioned. This means it is no longer necessary to
carry
your device with its back pointing in the direction you are traveling.
- NEW: BlindSquare now uses a better database of intersections for the US;
this should make intersection information more reliable.
- CHANGE: When sharing a place, you can now edit its name and address.
- CHANGE: The subcategories listed in Category Searches are now listed
alphabetically.
- FIX: The Current Location function in the Audio Menu now also works when
the Current Location function has been disabled in the shake settings.
- FIX: A bug where simulation would not always start immediately has been
resolved.

Johanna did a podcast demonstrating how you can use a bluetooth keyboard:

Re: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts

2014-06-24 Thread Joseph FreeTech
Hi Grant and Cher,

Since you're experimenting with your Contacts...

Here is a great app for backing up Contacts. A copy of all your Contacts 
will will be saved to your iDevice. When you then attach your iDevice to 
your computer via iTunes you will be able to access each backup to save on 
your desktop; you essentially have a backup of your backups. What I love 
about this little app is that it creates independent backups, so if your 
Contacts change in a month, or if you accidentally delete many Contacts, you 
need only import a prior day's backup, and you are right back to where you 
started--literally in about 2 seconds. This app is 100% accessible and a 
must have app which costs only $1.

Backup Contacts + Share on the App Store on iTunes
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/backup-contacts-+-share/id486537944?mt=8

Joseph the free tech guy!

You're right, some of the settings in the iCloud Control Panel don't read
that well with JAWS, but it can be done. If you use JAWS 15, the touch
cursor is best in my view; otherwise the JAWS cursor should be used in
certain dialog boxes. Also, there is no way to adjust these settings other
than in the iCloud Control Panel app itself. They cannot be adjusted on the
iCloud website.

Since you've already turned syncing on, my suggestion would be to simply
delete any contacts or groups you don't want from the iCloud data set. Keep
in mind that any contacts which were synced have been removed from your
local data file in Outlook and placed into the iCloud data set. I think they
are placed in the Deleted Items folder. So, make sure you have a local copy
of them before removing them.

Hope this helps,

Grant

Hey Grant- Finally got it- but got more than I wanted. All my different
groups in Outlook were synced instead of just Cher's iPhone. Have to find
out how to undo/reverse this. Some controls in the iCloud control panel
seemed inaccessible with JAWS- is it easier to fiddle with all these
settings on icloud.com?

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Hi Cher,

I Work is not required for contacts and calendar syncing, in fact there are
no native iWork apps for Windows at all. That article that you linked to in
your last message was talking about the requirements for syncing and editing
documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You may safely ignore that
requirement.

As for contacts, calendars and reminders sync, I am using Outlook 2013 and
have never used Outlook 2007 before with iCloud. However, Apple's own
knowledge base clearly states that Outlook 2007 should work fine, so I
believe the representative you spoke to was incorrect.

Try to follow all the troubleshooting steps linked to in these articles. Be
sure to double-check whether or not the iCloud add-in for Outlook is
disabled, because in my experience this is often the cause of broken
syncing.

iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
Also check out this third party site for other tips and workarounds:
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/icloud-and-outlook-problems/

Not sure what screen reader you're using, but if it's JAWS, I'd be happy to
connect to JAWS Tandem with you and see if I can help at all (no guarantees,
though). You could also try contacting Apple telephone support and see if
they can advise you. Off the top of my head, though, I can't remember if
they would provide support for their Windows applications, but if you can
tie it in to a question about your iOS device, they might be able to provide
some suggestions.

When I became aware of this app a year or two ago, the price was $21 or $22. It 
has gone up twice since then. Still, it is a very comprehensive app with a 
narrow target audience, and all updates have so far been free. Plus, much of 
the costs are to cover server-based functions that the developer has to pay for 
somehow, so the app's creator sees less of the money than you might think. I 
totally understand people saying the price is too high - in fact, I only own it 
now because I won a copy - but I just wanted to explain that, as I understand 
it, the developer isn't upping the price just because he thinks he can.

TextSync Inconsistencies. Experience of Others?

2014-06-24 Thread Alan Lemly
I love the concept of the TextSync app which lets you easily share text from
your computer via text entered into a web page to the app on your iDevice
and vice versa. However, I seem to get inconsistent results with TextSync
not syncing or the web page not loading and was curious if others are having
issues with it. If I'm in a hurry to get text from my computer to my iPhone,
I've reverted to the ZeroTap app which does the same thing as TextSync but
does so more reliably.

Re: new carrier needed!

T-Mobile has an offering on its website that provides unlimited text

Ink credit card, It is actually $28.50.  I have both this plan and the
Chase card.  The offering is available only on the T-Mobile website,
not in stores or through a call center.  I have installed the Magic
Jack, vonage and FredomPop calling apps on my phone and use them for
all outbound calls.  I have never run out of minutes for calling.
This is the most economical service for a GSM provider.

mean that my contacts will be copied from the phone to the ICloud account so 
that I can use it as a backup?
Can I i edit the contact information on the ICloud and then update and

Please excuse my ignorance, I am a new IPhone user and still finding my way

Take care all.

Re: ICloud Account

2014-06-24 Thread Alex Hall
Yes to both. Once you start syncing anything (contacts, calendars, reminders, 
Safari, etc) with iCloud, the data is backed up each time you change it and the 
app sycs. Full iCloud backups of your device happen when the device is 
connected to wifi and locked, but backups of iCloud-synced data go on all the 
time.

You can log into www.icloud.com and access the things you normally can on your 
phone, so long as you are backing them up. That site is not great with screen 
readers, but most of it is usable. However, all this data syncs to iCloud 
devices, not just the site. So, when I add contacts on my Mac, my phone has 
them as well, for instance. Or if you had an iPad as well, you could set up 
some calendar appointments on that and they would appear on your phone.

Re: [Blindsquaregps] BlindSquare version 2.2 Release Notes

2014-06-24 Thread Alex Hall
I wasn't trying to single you out; sorry if it came across that way. I kept 
meaning to reply to this thread, and yours was the message to which I finally 
replied.

As I said, though, I can see thinking $30 is too much. In the days of finding 
an app for $10 and thinking it seems a bit steep, $30 is off the charts. It is 
a nice app, though, and worth it if you do a lot of navigating. Plus, for the 
accessibility, it is the cheapest - way less than Sendero's app. No one say I'm 
missing the point and that the two apps are different, please. I know the 
differences, I know the workarounds, I know the strengths of both. I'm just 
making a general comparison.

 When I became aware of this app a year or two ago, the price was $21 or $22. 
 It has gone up twice since then. Still, it is a very comprehensive app with a 
 narrow target audience, and all updates have so far been free. Plus, much of 
 the costs are to cover server-based functions that the developer has to pay 
 for somehow, so the app's creator sees less of the money than you might 
 think. I totally understand people saying the price is too high - in fact, I 
 only own it now because I won a copy - but I just wanted to explain that, as 
 I understand it, the developer isn't upping the price just because he thinks 
 he can.

 When I looked in the app store before I posted the price that's what it
 said.  I have to think that sense it was showing twenty nine bucks as the
 price that that's what their charging for it.  If you haven't got a GPS unit
 then 29 bucks isn't bad.  A Trekker Breeze will set you back a lot more
 money then that.

RE: ICloud Account

2014-06-24 Thread Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES)
Thanks, that is brilliant, so in theary, if I back up the contacts and change 
my phone, setting up the account on the new phone will synchronise them back?

I tried to go in to mail but no account was there e.g. inbox or anything.
I added a new ICloud account but it then said that account was already added, 
do I need to go in to settings and tick mail or something so that I can then go 
in to mail and use my ICloud account to send and receive messages etc?
Can you edit your contacts by logging in to the ICloud?  I jhave lots of 
contacts that I would like to add and also add email addresses to the existing 
ones which I haven't done until now, it may be quicker to edit these if I can 
do it using my PC and a full keyboard, I am still quite slow with the touch 
screen.

Thanks again for all your kind help, the more I get in to my IPhone, the more 
it amazes me to be honest, it is so powerful and you can do so much with it, 
more like a pocket laptop than a phone :)
And Apple write the screen reader which is a real bonus in my opinion.

RE: Braille display with pages

2014-06-24 Thread Grant Hardy
Hi Alan, could you provide a link or source about the accessibility of Pages
from Apple (e.g. where you heard that they say it is totally accessible)? I
have not been able to find documentation like this. There are certainly
aspects of Pages that are accessible on iOS, but in my experience I would
not say it is totally accessible (or, at least, I'd say lots of it is quite
tricky to use with VO). For example, I do not believe there is any way to
review formatting, alignment, etc. for text under the cursor. You could
select text and then navigate into the formatting options to try to get the
information (e.g. by looking to see if the bold or italic options are
selected), but that would only work if all the text you selected had the
same formatting. I consider myself to be a power user of iOS with VO, so I'd
be pretty surprised if I'm missing something here, but of course I'd love to
stand corrected.

Subject: RE: Transferring OOTunes Recordings to a Computer

 

Hi Tom, the recordings are stored in iTunes backups, so can be saved to your
computer that way. There's no way built within the app to export the
recordings. Also, keep in mind that only recordings that you've elected to
save are stored in backups. Temporary recordings are not-and in iOS 7,
there is a bug where temporary recordings cannot be saved after the fact.
You need to save them while the recording is in progress, such as by adding
a marker.

Subject: Transferring OOTunes Recordings to a Computer

 

Hi folks,

Last night I recorded a radio broadcast on OOTunes that's about an hour and
forty minutes long.  I'd like to transfer it to my computer for safekeeping
since it has some really great music.   Even though it's not the best
quality recording I might also want to edit the recording using Audacity or
something like it and burn it to a CD later. So, is there an easy way to
transfer that OOTunes recording to my PC using ITunes or am I stuck with
leaving the recording on my phone?

 

Thanks in advance.

Tom

New Hangouts update

Hello list,

 

I'm headed out the door, but thought I'd drop this quick note. I just
downloaded the new Hangouts update and at first glance, it seems to be
pretty accessible. At least way more than the previous two updates.

 

Anyway, I'll play with it a bit more, but figured I'd let others know and if

Re: ICloud Account

2014-06-24 Thread Alex Hall
Yes, if you just sign into any Mac or iOS device with your account, any data 
you had synced will appear. This won't sync installed apps, but basic content 
and even some data in supported apps will all work fine.

For mail, you need an iCloud account. You create one by, as you said, checking 
the mail checkbox in iCloud settings. Confusingly this will technically be a 
second Apple ID, so you will not be able to use this new address as your ID to 
replace the one you use now. Still, the process is simple enough.

I am not sure how well iCloud.com works for contact editing, but you can go in 
and give it a try as soon as you enable contact syncing over iCloud and let 
your phone push its content to Apple's servers. If you use Outlook, I believe 
Apple offers iCloud integration via their iCloud Control Panel; you could 
manage contacts that way if the website doesn't work out.

 Subject: Re: ICloud Account
  
 Yes to both. Once you start syncing anything (contacts, calendars, reminders, 
 Safari, etc) with iCloud, the data is backed up each time you change it and 
 the app sycs. Full iCloud backups of your device happen when the device is 
 connected to wifi and locked, but backups of iCloud-synced data go on all the 
 time.
  
 You can log into www.icloud.com and access the things you normally can on 
 your phone, so long as you are backing them up. That site is not great with 
 screen readers, but most of it is usable. However, all this data syncs to 
 iCloud devices, not just the site. So, when I add contacts on my Mac, my 
 phone has them as well, for instance. Or if you had an iPad as well, you 
 could set up some calendar appointments on that and they would appear on your 
 phone.

RE: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts

2014-06-24 Thread Don Cher
Not familiar with 'touch' cursor- is this a new name for the invisible
cursor? On the PC side, I was just getting graphics when trying to review
the screen- no help from JAWS cursor :(  

I found today that on the phone, using the Groups button in Contacts still
lets you select which group you want to see- so by selecting my iPhone group
I'm a happy camper once again. .  I was ready to have a fit last night when
I saw that my general contacts, my phone's contacts, my husband's contacts,
and an e-mail distribution list of over 200 people was all jumbled together
on my phone. I'll have to fiddle a bit, but this is now looking very
workable- I think :)  Yeah!

Also when you say adjust these settings in the iCloud Control Panel app 
are you meaning on the PC or somewhere on the device?

Thanks so very much, -

Subject: RE: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts

You're right, some of the settings in the iCloud Control Panel don't read
that well with JAWS, but it can be done. If you use JAWS 15, the touch
cursor is best in my view; otherwise the JAWS cursor should be used in
certain dialog boxes. Also, there is no way to adjust these settings other
than in the iCloud Control Panel app itself. They cannot be adjusted on the
iCloud website.

Since you've already turned syncing on, my suggestion would be to simply
delete any contacts or groups you don't want from the iCloud data set. Keep
in mind that any contacts which were synced have been removed from your
local data file in Outlook and placed into the iCloud data set. I think they
are placed in the Deleted Items folder. So, make sure you have a local copy
of them before removing them.

Hope this helps,

Grant

Hi Cher,

I Work is not required for contacts and calendar syncing, in fact there are
no native iWork apps for Windows at all. That article that you linked to in
your last message was talking about the requirements for syncing and editing
documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You may safely ignore that
requirement.

As for contacts, calendars and reminders sync, I am using Outlook 2013 and
have never used Outlook 2007 before with iCloud. However, Apple's own
knowledge base clearly states that Outlook 2007 should work fine, so I
believe the representative you spoke to was incorrect.

Try to follow all the troubleshooting steps linked to in these articles. Be
sure to double-check whether or not the iCloud add-in for Outlook is
disabled, because in my experience this is often the cause of broken
syncing.

iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
Also check out this third party site for other tips and workarounds:

Not sure what screen reader you're using, but if it's JAWS, I'd be happy to
connect to JAWS Tandem with you and see if I can help at all (no guarantees,
though). You could also try contacting Apple telephone support and see if
they can advise you. Off the top of my head, though, I can't remember if
they would provide support for their Windows applications, but if you can
tie it in to a question about your iOS device, they might be able to provide
some suggestions.

Your welcome. I didn't mine answering yourquestions and I thank everyone who

I actually have someone from this list who will try to help me out tomorrow

I'm not going to give up but let me tell you I tried and tried to get this 
resolved on Sunday  but to no reveal.


Like I've said before I know nothing about iTunes and I never use it until I 
got my iPhone. I'm not that good with technology  I've never used before and 
iTunes was frustrating me to no end.


But I will try to keep an open mine and continue to learn how to use iTunes 
once this issue is resolved.


I thought I was doing good managing to successfully put to of my three CD's 
on my phone. That's a big accommplishment for me.


I'm glad you all are understanding  and  not thinking  how stupid I am when 
it comes to learning itunes.


Again I really do appreciate everyone's help from this list and I'm glad to 
be a part of it. Take care.

When I became aware of this app a year or two ago, the price was $21 or $22. It 
has gone up twice since then. Still, it is a very comprehensive app with a 
narrow target audience, and all updates have so far been free. Plus, much of 
the costs are to cover server-based functions that the developer has to pay for 
somehow, so the app's creator sees less of the money than you might think. I 
totally understand people saying the price is too high - in fact, I only own it 
now because I won a copy - but I just wanted to explain that, as I understand 
it, the developer isn't upping the price just because he thinks he can.

RE: New Hangouts update

2014-06-24 Thread Cristóbal
Making calls and such is nice and easy now. Really good since I'm a heavy
Google Voice user and can go back to bypassing the cell phone as with
TalkATone.
I didn't even bother playing with the mood and status stuff since it was the
telephone call making aspect that interested me, but still, good to know.
The other good thing is that it's easy to access the send feedback option.
Before I had to ask my sighted wife for help.

The only issues I have is setting a status and setting a mood. Besides that,
very accessible.

 Hello list,



 I'm headed out the door, but thought I'd drop this quick note. I just 
 downloaded the new Hangouts update and at first glance, it seems to be 
 pretty accessible. At least way more than the previous two updates.



 Anyway, I'll play with it a bit more, but figured I'd let others know 
 and if they can give it a spin to see their impressions.

hiding all posts from a user

2014-06-24 Thread don bishop
Hi all,

Some time ago I was able to hide posts from a user in my newsfeed while not 
unfriending the person.

With  the latest update to the facebook app, I can't seem to hide a friend's 
posts.  
Does anyone know how to do this with the latest iphone app? 
Thanks,
don

hiding all posts from a user

2014-06-24 Thread don bishop
Regarding my message about hiding all posts froma particular, would this be the 
same as blocking a user?  Or, is there a difference?

Don
