Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
I am not trying to start a flame war here but I have to put my opinion in on this matter. I think that it is very rude what Joseph had said. I don't think that Jonathan is trying to make money off of us I think he's just trying to sell a book. You don't have to buy that book if you so desire sir but there may be other people who do. I wish that people wouldn't make such disrespectful comments. Because technically, we are very lucky to have this book! Do you know of any other place we can get this information besides this list and Jonathan's book? You tell me where to go? And I will go look. But I don't believe there is any other place. Jonathan has spent countless hours probably, researching all of this information to bring it to us in a straight forward way. Why disrespect the guy by saying what you did. That was not right. However you have your opinion I have mine. I'm just stating mine. I did not mean to start any trouble I was just saying what I felt. And I will be one who buys this book. It is only $20. That is not that expensive! It really isn't. Think about this would you rather spend $20 on something you can use, or spend $20 and something that you may never use? I've known things that people spend at least $20 on, that they never use. That I've known things like this book, that people spend money on and do use every day. Just thought I would throw my two cents in. Jerry Mader -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Bizarre Problem with PayPal Mobile Site
Hi, all, When I'm directed to PayPal from a seller, I always switch to my credit card from my default bank account. On the computer, it was never a problem. On iOS, there's a checkbox that says switch to such and such account. When I check it, I get a page with nothing on it, and the Pay Now button is not accessible. Has anyone else experienced this? It's happened with two unlelated sellers thus far.

Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
Hi everyone, I'm conscious that both our moderators are probably sleeping right now, and having moderated email lists over many years, I know what an unpleasant feeling it is to wake up to a list that's gone off the rails. So in an attempt to prevent that from happening, I thought I would add a few comments. It's not my intension to respond to personal attacks, however there are some substantive issues that may be helpful. First, my book, iOS 8 Without the Eye is by no means the only game in town for getting information about iOS 8 when it comes out. An excellent free source of information will be Applevis, a site of which I am a huge fan. You can be sure that free resources from there will include blog posts and podcasts. There are sure to be other places as well. I wrote iOS 7 Without the Eye last year because I got feedback that there was a need for it. As some of you may know, I've produced literally hundreds of hours at least of audio tutorials on a wide range of subjects, a few of which are in fact on Applevis. I also continue to get very kind feedback about the FSCasts I have done over the years on iTunes. Many people like to be talked through an application or operating system, hearing what the speech is doing. People who learn best this way are big fans of podcasts, if they're produced well. Equally, I hear from people who say that they prefer to learn from a book. I've done a few audio presentations since starting Mosen Consulting, but books like Tweeting Blind and the iOS without the Eye series have been well received because they're in writing. So rather than do an audio version of iOS 8 Without the Eye, I decided that audio was well covered and that I'd focus on text. Yes, you'll be able to get textual help via a range of sources, and some people will be happy installing the OS and discovering things for themselves, sharing their discoveries on a range of forums. But last year, we sold thousands of copies of the book. What that showed me was that some people prefer to have a coherent, consistent, comprehensive guide, written by a technical writer who can explain the concepts. The book is a work in progress right now, but already we're hitting the 25,000 word mark, about 63 pages in Microsoft Word and growing. It has been peer reviewed by a number of fellow testers, to make sure that I'm explaining things clearly enough, and that I've not left things out. It has already had its first draft sent to a copy editor, who has gone through it meticulously for readability and other factors. Each chapter has been carefully crafted, tweaked, and tweaked some more. That will continue to happen right up until iOS 8 release day. So I don't claim to have a monopoly on this knowledge. What I can promise you is that I've put many hours into writing all this up, explaining it as clearly as possible, and making sure it all jells. That will be worth 20 bucks to some of you, and it won't to others of you. That's the market for you. If there's no longer a need for the book, no one will buy it, and that will tell me whether I should do it again for iOS 9. All I have to serve as a guide about the need is the thousands that were bought last year. This list is a microcosm of the entire blind iPhone using community. Some people are experts, some are still struggling with the iPhone and find the prospect of a bunch of new and changed features daunting. Many experts will want this book because they'd prefer to invest in a tool that gets them going quickly, others will think it's a waste of their money. Many novice users, I suspect, will be glad to have someone they may know from elsewhere helping them through some new things. So if it helps you, consider the book. If it doesn't, please enjoy and support the many great contributors to our community, for which I'm sure many of us are grateful. And in fact, there's really no reason not to do both of those things if both options will be helpful to you. Thanks everyone.

Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
Jonathan, don't frame my previous post as a personal attack. Most on these list probably have no clue in terms of how people more clever than they are manipulating them. I posted a general opinion that does not pertain specifically to you but just so happens to include you in this case. There are many assistive technology teachers, trainers, and consultants or whatever they are now calling themselves who spend a great deal of time on these lists but contribute next to nothing when it comes to actually helping others. It isn't until their next money making scheme is released when they pop out of the dirt and start with the written smiles and happy talk about how much they've helped the blind community. I'm simply a bit upset at the fact that most of these people are nowhere to be found when John or Jane are struggling with an issue. I, and many other listers who are not finding the problems in the blindness community as dollar signs in our eyes do most of the heavy lifting. Don't forget that you too benefit from the generosity of contributors to this list as your knowledge increases by each of our posts, and guess what, we are helping you for free. The goal on this list is knowledge and spreading knowledge and not shameless self promotion. I just hope everyone takes my word as what it is, frustration from someone who has spent a great deal of time calling all over the world and donating hours at a time to help fellow blind computer users whether on the phone, Skype or via email.

Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
I have a feeling that if Jonathon offering this book for free, Joseph F will have totally different take on the book. Joseph, your first email was clearly personal atact on whoever that write this kind of training material. It is not personally towards Jonathon perhaps, but it is all the same. I'm not one who fancy manual, but i do see it's place for training manuals and guides. You are not say as much, but to dismiss the important of manuals and guides is like to asking a psychologist not to use DSM as a guide, and rely on their friends and mailling lists telling them things they need or, no need to know. Personally, i've not read the IOS7 without the Eye, or any of Mosen's books so i can't comment how useful, or not useful it is towards my personal and professional use of IOS. However, i do encourage others to get them, if they think they need some resource that they can rely on off the net. I'm sure this list, as well as some other list and applevis will come very handy on the release of ios8, but, not all people on this list have the same technical knowledge and skills to adapt for change, or embrace change. And, you do get some mix message as to how good and bad the new ios can be, from personal bias or experience, or lack of experience in some cases from the list.Just like, some people still hang on tight to ios4, or even 5. And even if Jonathon make money from the books, so what? It is a well earn money, and people paying for it because they believe he has things to say.

Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
I agree with Jerry here, but I'll let the list moderators deal with the rudeness on the list. It is true that a lot of information will show up on this list, and even more information will be made freely available via podcasts on places like AppleVis.com. There are some people though who would like a well written and well organized introduction into the new features of IOS 8. It's much more efficient to go through such a book then it is to slog through all of the questions and answers that will show up on this list. It'll be a high traffic list when IOS 8 comes out, many questions will be repeated, opinions will be stated, subject lines won't be updated, threads will be hijacked and although it'll be a great resource, it could be a pretty tedious way to find the few nuggets of new information someone is particularly looking for in IOS 8. Jonathan has freely contributed a lot of information to the blindness community over the years, and I know I've learned a lot from his posts, his podcasts and his blog articles. I don't have a problem with someone putting his time and effort into writing a good resource for the blind and then putting it up for sale. I doubt anyone is going to get rich writing a book for the blind IOS user. If it's a good resource, and people are willing to pay for it, then it'll be successful and a useful tool for those who want to get that information in that format. Not everyone learns and picks up things in the same way so the more choices the better. I'm sure there are books for the sighted IOS user, so I see it as a good thing that we in the blindness community have the same type of choices. I know Jonathan is a professional who's been working in the blindness field for a while, so I'm assuming he will take the high road and not respond in kind to the post Jerry is referring to below. This is a public list, and none of us get to choose who is and is not on the list.

I have thought at times about getting an iPad Mini. For me, since I have a hearing loss, the larger speakers would be a definite plus to having either the Pad or the Mini. Also, my wife would benefit from the larger screen since she has to squint lots of times to be able to read the smaller iPhone screen. Granted, she has a 5C but still. I am totally blind and if I were to get a iPad, I would not get the largest iPad. That is too much empty space for me to navigate. I could better navigate the Mini's screen size. That seems like more of a happy medium for me between the phone and the largest iPad. In my case, I would probably use a Mini for listening to books, music and other entertainment things, where my iPhone is my go-to communication device.

I want to try the app but feel reluctant for the same reason i don’t use Siri, which only is available in English and a couple more other languages but not Swedish. In Apples case i don’t like that they do strictly anglocentric features but, and this is a rettorical question so no need to answer:-) but should one be as strict when it comes to things like Fantastical? What if Siri becomes available in Swedish but Fantastical doesn’t? /Krister 28 jul 2014 kl. 22:37 skrev Ioana Gandrabur igandra...@gmail.com: Other than the custom repeat function that's very useful in many ways like repeat for 8 times every week, I also love the search feature. Every once in a while the native calendar would garble the order of search results for a repeating event and it would make it useless for me. This never happens in fantastical. I like how, using natural language one can set where one wants the event to be added. Say it is not in your default calendar but a separate one you indicate this in the sentence with slash followed by first letter of that calendar. /h for home for example. Same goes for reminder lists. Hope this helps, Ioana Sent from my iPhone On Jul 26, 2014, at 3:20 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: Aside from the natural language, is there an advantage to using Fantastical over iOS' default Calendar app? I find Calendar easy enough to use, and have never really had problems with it. It's not the best, but it's fine. I guess I'm wondering what features people like about Fantastical that make it worth it? Also, will Fantastical hook into iOS' calendars? That is, if I make an appointment with it, will that then sync to iOS, and from there propagate through iCloud to sync with my Mac's default calendar app?

I have heard mixed on this app from the VoiceOver community, but am thinking about finally buying it, wanted to see what people here thought of it. I rarely use the calendar app on the iPhone as it is kind of a pain to use, are people finding it much smoother to use the fantastical calendar? I do use reminders a lot but I like being able to just hold in the button to quickly launch Siri to create a reminder. I assume using the reminder part of Fantastical will just take launching the app first, but is just as easy? Also I read that the mac version is not as accessible with VO. Does anyone know if that has changed? One of the things I love most about the native reminders app is having a reminder pop up on my iMac and iPhone, and can dismiss very easily. Just wanted to get the most recent opinions of the app. Thanks, -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Hi all, Just thought I'd write to convey my apologies to some of my friends out there. As you can see, I have some strong feelings about the individuals who take from us then want to sell our same information back to us in the form of their manuals and using the justification of helping the blind community.

RE: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
Joseph, I know you won't like to hear this, but your post is completely out of line. Jonathan is one of the most respected and knowledgeable people on this and many other lists. He contributes freely and he has probably forgotten more about technology than you will ever know. Jonathan honoured me by asking me to read the drafts of his book and to provide feedback and I also bought his book last year. These books are excellent references for any iOS user even one like you who apparently knows everything. One thing is for sure, you won't be making friends with that post of yours given Jonathan's reputation. There is also nothing which prevents you from writing a better and more comprehensive guide and to offer it for sale. I'm sure Cara would have no problem allowing you to promote it on the Viphone list if you did.

All of this can be boiled down to one simple decision. If you want to buy Jonathan's book, buy it. If you don't don't. If something doesn't sell, it will go away. There is nothing wrong with making money if you provide a service that some people see a need for. To use the term parasite is simply rude and has no place on a list whose discussions are normally civil and polite. I purchased Jonathan's book on iOS7 and found it quite useful, but that's just me.

No, that procedure causes a crash in the springboard. It is not recommended by Apple, and is the only procedure which has caused data corruption on my iPhone.

To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

RE: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
Thanks very much for your post Jonathan! Very well said! Lucy Edmonds From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 3:56 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye Hi everyone, I'm conscious that both our moderators are probably sleeping right now, and having moderated email lists over many years, I know what an unpleasant feeling it is to wake up to a list that's gone off the rails. So in an attempt to prevent that from happening, I thought I would add a few comments. It's not my intension to respond to personal attacks, however there are some substantive issues that may be helpful. First, my book, iOS 8 Without the Eye is by no means the only game in town for getting information about iOS 8 when it comes out. An excellent free source of information will be Applevis, a site of which I am a huge fan. You can be sure that free resources from there will include blog posts and podcasts. There are sure to be other places as well. I wrote iOS 7 Without the Eye last year because I got feedback that there was a need for it. As some of you may know, I've produced literally hundreds of hours at least of audio tutorials on a wide range of subjects, a few of which are in fact on Applevis. I also continue to get very kind feedback about the FSCasts I have done over the years on iTunes. Many people like to be talked through an application or operating system, hearing what the speech is doing. People who learn best this way are big fans of podcasts, if they're produced well. Equally, I hear from people who say that they prefer to learn from a book. I've done a few audio presentations since starting Mosen Consulting, but books like Tweeting Blind and the iOS without the Eye series have been well received because they're in writing. So rather than do an audio version of iOS 8 Without the Eye, I decided that audio was well covered and that I'd focus on text. Yes, you'll be able to get textual help via a range of sources, and some people will be happy installing the OS and discovering things for themselves, sharing their discoveries on a range of forums. But last year, we sold thousands of copies of the book. What that showed me was that some people prefer to have a coherent, consistent, comprehensive guide, written by a technical writer who can explain the concepts. The book is a work in progress right now, but already we're hitting the 25,000 word mark, about 63 pages in Microsoft Word and growing. It has been peer reviewed by a number of fellow testers, to make sure that I'm explaining things clearly enough, and that I've not left things out. It has already had its first draft sent to a copy editor, who has gone through it meticulously for readability and other factors. Each chapter has been carefully crafted, tweaked, and tweaked some more. That will continue to happen right up until iOS 8 release day. So I don't claim to have a monopoly on this knowledge. What I can promise you is that I've put many hours into writing all this up, explaining it as clearly as possible, and making sure it all jells. That will be worth 20 bucks to some of you, and it won't to others of you. That's the market for you. If there's no longer a need for the book, no one will buy it, and that will tell me whether I should do it again for iOS 9. All I have to serve as a guide about the need is the thousands that were bought last year. This list is a microcosm of the entire blind iPhone using community. Some people are experts, some are still struggling with the iPhone and find the prospect of a bunch of new and changed features daunting. Many experts will want this book because they'd prefer to invest in a tool that gets them going quickly, others will think it's a waste of their money. Many novice users, I suspect, will be glad to have someone they may know from elsewhere helping them through some new things. So if it helps you, consider the book. If it doesn't, please enjoy and support the many great contributors to our community, for which I'm sure many of us are grateful. And in fact, there's really no reason not to do both of those things if both options will be helpful to you. Thanks everyone.

Re: Best Taxi Apps?
I've used TaxiMagic before, but at least in my area of Austin, Texas, the local affiliated cab company discriminated against me since I had a guide dog at the time. When I called to find out where my ride was, they told me, We're looking for a driver that is okay with dogs, this after I had made the reservation around 15 hours before the appointment. I didn't file charges with them, but have made a point of not using the local company. Still love the app and if another more wide spread cab company like Yellow Cab worked with TaxiMagic, I might be more inclined to use the app. The app worked well though in my limited use.

Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
Well said, Christopher. Also, different people certainly have different learning styles, as Jonathan said. And people's patience and frustration levels with a new tool, such as iOS8 will be, also vary. Lists can only get you so far; and one often finds more negative messages about things wrong than messages about things right. yet the fact is that someone's 'major bug' often will be another's minor irritant - if even that. - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 10:10 AM Subject: Re: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye I agree with Jerry here, but I'll let the list moderators deal with the rudeness on the list. It is true that a lot of information will show up on this list, and even more information will be made freely available via podcasts on places like AppleVis.com. There are some people though who would like a well written and well organized introduction into the new features of IOS 8. It's much more efficient to go through such a book then it is to slog through all of the questions and answers that will show up on this list. It'll be a high traffic list when IOS 8 comes out, many questions will be repeated, opinions will be stated, subject lines won't be updated, threads will be hijacked and although it'll be a great resource, it could be a pretty tedious way to find the few nuggets of new information someone is particularly looking for in IOS 8. Jonathan has freely contributed a lot of information to the blindness community over the years, and I know I've learned a lot from his posts, his podcasts and his blog articles. I don't have a problem with someone putting his time and effort into writing a good resource for the blind and then putting it up for sale. I doubt anyone is going to get rich writing a book for the blind IOS user. If it's a good resource, and people are willing to pay for it, then it'll be successful and a useful tool for those who want to get that information in that format. Not everyone learns and picks up things in the same way so the more choices the better. I'm sure there are books for the sighted IOS user, so I see it as a good thing that we in the blindness community have the same type of choices. I know Jonathan is a professional who's been working in the blindness field for a while, so I'm assuming he will take the high road and not respond in kind to the post Jerry is referring to below. This is a public list, and none of us get to choose who is and is not on the list. We won't like every opinion that's expressed here, so hopefully everyone will consider the source and let a member express their opinion without it devolving into a flame war.

Do you know of any other place we can get this information besides this list and Jonathan's book? You tell me where to go? And I will go look. But I don't believe there is any other place. Jonathan has spent countless hours probably, researching all of this information to bring it to us in a straight forward way. Why disrespect the guy by saying what you did. That was not right.

It is true that a lot of information will show up on this list, and even more information will be made freely available via podcasts on places like AppleVis.com. There are some people though who would like a well written and well organized introduction into the new features of IOS 8. It's much more efficient to go through such a book then it is to slog through all of the questions and answers that will show up on this list. It'll be a high traffic list when IOS 8 comes out, many questions will be repeated, opinions will be stated, subject lines won't be updated, threads will be hijacked and although it'll be a great resource, it could be a pretty tedious way to find the few nuggets of new information someone is particularly looking for in IOS 8. Jonathan has freely contributed a lot of information to the blindness community over the years, and I know I've learned a lot from his posts, his podcasts and his blog articles. I don't have a problem with someone putting his time and effort into writing a good resource for the blind and then putting it up for sale. I doubt anyone is going to get rich writing a book for the blind IOS user. If it's a good resource, and people are willing to pay for it, then it'll be successful and a useful tool for those who want to get that information in that format. Not everyone learns and picks up things in the same way so the more choices the better. I'm sure there are books for the sighted IOS user, so I see it as a good thing that we in the blindness community have the same type of choices. I know Jonathan is a professional who's been working in the blindness field for a while, so I'm assuming he will take the high road and not respond in kind to the post Jerry is referring to below. This is a public list, and none of us get to choose who is and is not on the list. We won't like every opinion that's expressed here, so hopefully everyone will consider the source and let a member express their opinion without it devolving into a flame war.

I wish that people wouldn't make such disrespectful comments. Because technically, we are very lucky to have this book! Do you know of any other place we can get this information besides this list and Jonathan's book? You tell me where to go? And I will go look. But I don't believe there is any other place. Jonathan has spent countless hours probably, researching all of this information to bring it to us in a straight forward way. Why disrespect the guy by saying what you did. That was not right. However you have your opinion I have mine. I'm just stating mine. I did not mean to start any trouble I was just saying what I felt. And I will be one who buys this book. It is only $20. That is not that expensive! It really isn't. Think about this would you rather spend $20 on something you can use, or spend $20 and something that you may never use?

Re: Fantastical 2.1
Krister, I don't think you are being picky at all. I am an all too common US citizen who only speaks English. Once upon a time I received a degree that said I was fluent in German, but that was a very long time ago and I've forgotten most of what I once knew. I have tremendous respect for people like yourself and so many others on this list who can converse in more than one language. It seems to me that the developers of Fantastical are being a bit lazy. Ilkka, who wrote Blind Square has it localized in many languages, as is Aeriadne GPS, Chess-Wise 3 I think and probably lots more. I think I will write Ilkka and ask how much work is involved in localizing an app and pass his answer on to Flexibits.

I want to try the app but feel reluctant for the same reason i don’t use Siri, which only is available in English and a couple more other languages but not Swedish. In Apples case i don’t like that they do strictly anglocentric features but, and this is a rettorical question so no need to answer:-) but should one be as strict when it comes to things like Fantastical?

Every once in a while the native calendar would garble the order of search results for a repeating event and it would make it useless for me. This never happens in fantastical. I like how, using natural language one can set where one wants the event to be added. Say it is not in your default calendar but a separate one you indicate this in the sentence with slash followed by first letter of that calendar. /h for home for example. Same goes for reminder lists.

RE: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
gone off the rails. So in an attempt to prevent that from happening, I thought I would add a few comments. It's not my intension to respond to personal attacks, however there are some substantive issues that may be helpful. First, my book, iOS 8 Without the Eye is by no means the only game in town for getting information about iOS 8 when it comes out. An excellent free source of information will be Applevis, a site of which I am a huge fan. You can be sure that free resources from there will include blog posts and podcasts. There are sure to be other places as well. I wrote iOS 7 Without the Eye last year because I got feedback that there was a need for it. As some of you may know, I've produced literally hundreds of hours at least of audio tutorials on a wide range of subjects, a few of which are in fact on Applevis. I also continue to get very kind feedback about the FSCasts I have done over the years on iTunes. Many people like to be talked through an application or operating system, hearing what the speech is doing. People who learn best this way are big fans of podcasts, if they're produced well. Equally, I hear from people who say that they prefer to learn from a book. I've done a few audio presentations since starting Mosen Consulting, but books like Tweeting Blind and the iOS without the Eye series have been well received because they're in writing. So rather than do an audio version of iOS 8 Without the Eye, I decided that audio was well covered and that I'd focus on text. Yes, you'll be able to get textual help via a range of sources, and some people will be happy installing the OS and discovering things for themselves, sharing their discoveries on a range of forums. But last year, we sold thousands of copies of the book. What that showed me was that some people prefer to have a coherent, consistent, comprehensive guide, written by a technical writer who can explain the concepts. The book is a work in progress right now, but already we're hitting the 25,000 word mark, about 63 pages in Microsoft Word and growing. It has been peer reviewed by a number of fellow testers, to make sure that I'm explaining things clearly enough, and that I've not left things out. It has already had its first draft sent to a copy editor, who has gone through it meticulously for readability and other factors. Each chapter has been carefully crafted, tweaked, and tweaked some more. That will continue to happen right up until iOS 8 release day. So I don't claim to have a monopoly on this knowledge. What I can promise you is that I've put many hours into writing all this up, explaining it as clearly as possible, and making sure it all jells. That will be worth 20 bucks to some of you, and it won't to others of you. That's the market for you. If there's no longer a need for the book, no one will buy it, and that will tell me whether I should do it again for iOS 9. All I have to serve as a guide about the need is the thousands that were bought last year. This list is a microcosm of the entire blind iPhone using community. Some people are experts, some are still struggling with the iPhone and find the prospect of a bunch of new and changed features daunting. Many experts will want this book because they'd prefer to invest in a tool that gets them going quickly, others will think it's a waste of their money. Many novice users, I suspect, will be glad to have someone they may know from elsewhere helping them through some new things. So if it helps you, consider the book. If it doesn't, please enjoy and support the many great contributors to our community, for which I'm sure many of us are grateful. And in fact, there's really no reason not to do both of those things if both options will be helpful to you. Thanks everyone.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
The keyboard case I have is divided in to two halves. The lower half lays flat on a table top and holds the QWERTY typing keys. These are real keys and not a bubble or blister kind of keys. They are more like what you would find on a netbook computer. The case is as wide as the length of the iDevice your going to use with it. The cases are sold to mate with specific iPads. I have an iPad Air so the case made for it is about the size of a netbook computer. The top half of the case holds the iPad with the longest side going from left to right. The iPad is placed in the holder bottom edge in first and pressed backward in to the retainers at the top. This holds the iPad securely in place. The home button is to the right with the power button in the top left-hand corner and the volume buttons on the back in the top left-hand corner. The lightning connector connects on the right side right in the middle between the speaker and the microphone. In other words, the iPad Air looks pretty much like an iPhone on steroids. LOL! When the iPad is in the holder, you can adjust the tilt of the screen to any one of three positions. In my case, these are magnets built in to the bottom of the holder. The iPad mates with it's built in keyboard via Bluetooth. No power switch to bother with. When the bottom edge is set to one of it's 3 positions the keyboard is activated automatically and is disconnected when the holder is showing you the screen like a laptop would and is disconnected from the typing keys when you lift up the iPad from the base and lay it flat on it's back on top of the typing keys. This is a very stable way to use the iPad when the QWERTY keyboard is not needed when your using the on screen keyboard. In summary, you get a full QWERTY keyboard that is great when your typing a report or doing your email. If your playing a game where the built in keyboard is not required you can lay your iPad on it's back with the back of the case resting on the typing keys. The case is made in such a way that it does not harm the typing keys and there is port on the back right side to plug in the supplied USB cable to recharge the typing keyboard. I can get 2 to 3 weeks of use out of the keyboard before I need to recharge it again but I get a very lot of email averaging over a thousand messages a day. What to look for when buying a keyboard case. You want a case with solid feeling typing keys Bubble or blister keys as found on some are stiff and require more force to depress. The reason for buying a keyboard case is to permit easy typing and to convert your iPad into a laptop. You want the keys to be comfortable and easy to use. This will depend on which iPad you have because the keyboard will only be as wide as the screen or I should say the frame of your iPad. The iPad Air in the keyboard case measures at it's widest, 9.5 inches. From front to back, 7 inches. It is about a half inch thick. This is with the case closed and ready to transport.QWERTY keyboard is 10 inches wide. Regards, Alan Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.

Joseph, I usually ignore posts like yours that appear on the list. However, this time I am going to jump in. Do you have any idea how many times Jonathan writes to people privately to help with problems? I'm going to guess you don't have access to that information. He has helped me more than once. It is really none of your business what Jonathan or anyone else on this list chooses to publish and sell. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Most on these list probably have no clue in terms of how people more clever than they are manipulating them. I posted a general opinion that does not pertain specifically to you but just so happens to include you in this case. There are many assistive technology teachers, trainers, and consultants or whatever they are now calling themselves who spend a great deal of time on these lists but contribute next to nothing when it comes to actually helping others. It isn't until their next money making scheme is released when they pop out of the dirt and start with the written smiles and happy talk about how much they've helped the blind community. I'm simply a bit upset at the fact that most of these people are nowhere to be found when John or Jane are struggling with an issue. I, and many other listers who are not finding the problems in the blindness community as dollar signs in our eyes do most of the heavy lifting. Don't forget that you too benefit from the generosity of contributors to this list as your knowledge increases by each of our posts, and guess what, we are helping you for free. The goal on this list is knowledge and spreading knowledge and not shameless self promotion. I just hope everyone takes my word as what it is, frustration from someone who has spent a great deal of time calling all over the world and donating hours at a time to help fellow blind computer users whether on the phone, Skype or via email. Joseph PS: for those who haven't caught on, again, in the message below, Jonathan is manipulating your emotions as he describes his benevolent reasoning behind his desired to help you all, but remember, his help to the blind community always comes with a price tag.

RE: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
Hello List, As several have pointed out, different strokes for different folks. Like on the Mac OS side there are a few ways to skin a cat and collectively from all the resources out there, I am able to choose the style that fits me best in performing a task whether it be navigating the iPhone or Mac or using an app more efficiently. I am eclectic in nature and I have found that various resources will add to the experience in using the OS or iOS environment. There have been other threads in the past that have been ridiculed on this list whether it be a new publication or an app that individuals feel are too expensive and there are some that feel that all items either books or apps should be free or cost almost nothing because being blind is an entitlement to receive stuff either for free or at a low cost. This is nothing new and hopefully, the monitors of this list will either close the thread and/or handle the inflammatory remarks off list. This is all I want to say and will begin to use that wonderful delete key on this thread. Thanks for listening.

It is true that a lot of information will show up on this list, and even more information will be made freely available via podcasts on places like AppleVis.com. There are some people though who would like a well written and well organized introduction into the new features of IOS 8. It's much more efficient to go through such a book then it is to slog through all of the questions and answers that will show up on this list. It'll be a high traffic list when IOS 8 comes out, many questions will be repeated, opinions will be stated, subject lines won't be updated, threads will be hijacked and although it'll be a great resource, it could be a pretty tedious way to find the few nuggets of new information someone is particularly looking for in IOS 8. Jonathan has freely contributed a lot of information to the blindness community over the years, and I know I've learned a lot from his posts, his podcasts and his blog articles. I don't have a problem with someone putting his time and effort into writing a good resource for the blind and then putting it up for sale. I doubt anyone is going to get rich writing a book for the blind IOS user. If it's a good resource, and people are willing to pay for it, then it'll be successful and a useful tool for those who want to get that information in that format. Not everyone learns and picks up things in the same way so the more choices the better. I'm sure there are books for the sighted IOS user, so I see it as a good thing that we in the blindness community have the same type of choices. I know Jonathan is a professional who's been working in the blindness field for a while, so I'm assuming he will take the high road and not respond in kind to the post Jerry is referring to below. This is a public list, and none of us get to choose who is and is not on the list. We won't like every opinion that's expressed here, so hopefully everyone will consider the source and let a member express their opinion without it devolving into a flame war.

Smile. In other words, if you were to purchase an iPad, it seems as though your problem will be exactly the same since you've not gotten the hang of executing gestures. Smile. When executing a swipe, try this... Take your left thumb and fold the knuckle down. Now take your right index finger and use the padded side of your finger tip to swipe from left to right--from your knuckle to the tip of your finger nail. Try increasing the speed so that you smoothly touch your thumb then slide past your nail quickly and without stopping to leave your finger on the thumb at all as the goal is to swipe across your thumb and never rest your index finger on it. Be mindful of the sensation on your thumb, it should be one of feeling your index finger sliding across in a straight line. Notice that you will only have about a half inch or so of room to swipe across your thumb. After practicing this swiping motion on your thumb, open your iDevice to the home screen and repeat the left to right swiping motion. Try to swipe on the surface for a distance of about half an inch (the distance of your knuckle to your fingertip). Move through all your apps from left to right then reverse the swiping to move from your last app to your first one--you will of course now be moving your finger from right to left. The goal in swiping through all your apps is one of consistency in movement. Also try to be mindful of the position of your iDevice in that if you hold it at a weird angle then swipe, it might register as a vertical swipe rather than a horizontal swipe. In other words, at first try to be very mindful of the angle of your iDevice and the angle of your swipe and eventually it will become habit and you will be able to focus more on what you're doing than what is going wrong with your swiping.

Re: Fantastical 2.1
Part of the problem, as I see it, is the language parsing. Fantastical can break up full sentences into appointment names, locations, times, repeat intervals, and so on. Localization is just the translating of strings, so that the string used to display information is in the right language. However, figuring out the information from what the user types is an entirely different story, as it requires a deep understanding of the language in question. Of course it is possible, but if the makers of Fantastical are English speakers, I can see why translation for them would be much harder than the more basic translation that most other apps go through. They aren't just localizing, they have to make their app *understnad* what the user is typing in as well.

I want to try the app but feel reluctant for the same reason i don't use Siri, which only is available in English and a couple more other languages but not Swedish. In Apples case i don't like that they do strictly anglocentric features but, and this is a rettorical question so no need to answer:-) but should one be as strict when it comes to things like Fantastical?

Every once in a while the native calendar would garble the order of search results for a repeating event and it would make it useless for me. This never happens in fantastical. I like how, using natural language one can set where one wants the event to be added. Say it is not in your default calendar but a separate one you indicate this in the sentence with slash followed by first letter of that calendar. /h for home for example. Same goes for reminder lists.

That is, if I make an appointment with it, will that then sync to iOS, and from there propagate through iCloud to sync with my Mac's default calendar app?

Also, my wife would benefit from the larger screen since she has to squint lots of times to be able to read the smaller iPhone screen. Granted, she has a 5C but still. I am totally blind and if I were to get a iPad, I would not get the largest iPad. That is too much empty space for me to navigate. I could better navigate the Mini's screen size. That seems like more of a happy medium for me between the phone and the largest iPad.

So in an attempt to prevent that from happening, I thought I would add a few comments. It's not my intension to respond to personal attacks, however there are some substantive issues that may be helpful. First, my book, iOS 8 Without the Eye is by no means the only game in town for getting information about iOS 8 when it comes out. An excellent free source of information will be Applevis, a site of which I am a huge fan. You can be sure that free resources from there will include blog posts and podcasts. There are sure to be other places as well. I wrote iOS 7 Without the Eye last year because I got feedback that there was a need for it. As some of you may know, I've produced literally hundreds of hours at least of audio tutorials on a wide range of subjects, a few of which are in fact on Applevis. I also continue to get very kind feedback about the FSCasts I have done over the years on iTunes. Many people like to be talked through an application or operating system, hearing what the speech is doing. People who learn best this way are big fans of podcasts, if they're produced well. Equally, I hear from people who say that they prefer to learn from a book. I've done a few audio presentations since starting Mosen Consulting, but books like Tweeting Blind and the iOS without the Eye series have been well received because they're in writing. So rather than do an audio version of iOS 8 Without the Eye, I decided that audio was well covered and that I'd focus on text. Yes, you'll be able to get textual help via a range of sources, and some people will be happy installing the OS and discovering things for themselves, sharing their discoveries on a range of forums. But last year, we sold thousands of copies of the book. What that showed me was that some people prefer to have a coherent, consistent, comprehensive guide, written by a technical writer who can explain the concepts. The book is a work in progress right now, but already we're hitting the 25,000 word mark, about 63 pages in Microsoft Word and growing. It has been peer reviewed by a number of fellow testers, to make sure that I'm explaining things clearly enough, and that I've not left things out. It has already had its first draft sent to a copy editor, who has gone through it meticulously for readability and other factors. Each chapter has been carefully crafted, tweaked, and tweaked some more. That will continue to happen right up until iOS 8 release day. So I don't claim to have a monopoly on this knowledge. What I can promise you is that I've put many hours into writing all this up, explaining it as clearly as possible, and making sure it all jells. That will be worth 20 bucks to some of you, and it won't to others of you. That's the market for you. If there's no longer a need for the book, no one will buy it, and that will tell me whether I should do it again for iOS 9. All I have to serve as a guide about the need is the thousands that were bought last year. This list is a microcosm of the entire blind iPhone using community. Some people are experts, some are still struggling with the iPhone and find the prospect of a bunch of new and changed features daunting. Many experts will want this book because they'd prefer to invest in a tool that gets them going quickly, others will think it's a waste of their money. Many novice users, I suspect, will be glad to have someone they may know from elsewhere helping them through some new things. So if it helps you, consider the book. If it doesn't, please enjoy and support the many great contributors to our community, for which I'm sure many of us are grateful. And in fact, there's really no reason not to do both of those things if both options will be helpful to you. Thanks everyone. Jonathan
RE: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
For what it’s worth, I also feel that was uncalled for.

I see no reason why he shouldn’t get paid for quality work. People will buy or not buy for various reasons. If you don’t want to buy then don’t but don’t insult the man for selling his good work.

Re: Brl display not working with certain applications
Diane, I'll be glad to try and help. i use my focus 40 Blue on my iPhone 5S all the time to read using either read2Go or the Kindle app. Inorder to read with read 2Go, using your braille display, first off go into settings within Read2Go. Turn off audio Playback. Then, (now this is personal preference) go into visual settings, and turn the show by page number off and it will show the book in sections. It helps me because I don't have to hit the next page button after each page, it reads a full chapter before you have to hit next. Once you've done this, back out of setting, and you should be back on your bookshelf. Once there, find the book, double tap, then you are in your book Hit Chord M, to mute speech, and your panning right and panning left will move you in reverse or forward through the book. With speech muted voiceover won't read what the text is, your braille display will just show it. I hope that helps. If you have further questions feel free to email me and I'll do my best to answer. Take care and talk to you soon. On Jul 29, 2014, at 1:55 PM, Diane dianehome.karabin...@gmail.com wrote: I wish I could talk face to face, but I'll try to explain this.

Any issues with connecting iPhone to new WiFi connection
Hi, I'll be getting a FibreOptic installation (new modem) tomorrow, replacing my existing DSL WiFi with a faster connectivity (at same cost). Now there were some issues (or bugs) when connecting 7.0 as new to WiFi, as I needed to do. One needed to go into Airplane Mode, maybe, or do other futzing around to get the iOS to process the Wifi details - apparently also perhaps needing to disable Bluetooth for the time. I had it done with assistance. being nnew to iOS, I made the error of turning off bluetooth and hence my refreshable Braille display therein got turned off, too. Or is it now a fixed, straightforward thing? Type in the router/modem number; type in its password, and then any other details it asks for. Should the connection be done manual or auto? Or does that tend to vary, if one doesn't work then try the other. Can anybody enlighten me? TIA. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Brl display not working with certain applications
Hi, Diane, The Braille display will not follow when you read with audio. You will have to read with one or the other. If you use the Braille display with iBooks, you'll have to pan with the panning keys to go from line to line and use the right-rocker-bar to switch pages. In iBooks it's a bit tricky. You won't be able to switch pages unless you're somewhere in the text. You can also switch pages by using the dot 6 chord while in the page adjustment area at the bottm of the screen. I don't know Read2Go, so I'm sorry I can't help you there. There's a list of keyboard commands for iOS. You can find more instructions by going to Applevis.com and the Apple accessibility site. You can also use k chold to go into keyboard for help and press b chord to turn it off.

Re: Ipad mini Retina

Re: Brl display not working with certain applications
The Braille display keys do entirely different things in iOS than they do on the computer. This is why a review of the commands for iOS disd be helpful. The right rocker bar moves horizontally from page to page. You have to use the round panning knobs at either end to pan, and you can only switch pages within the text.

RE: Any apps to play rar files
I'll add to Richard's post to clarify that what he describes is known as hijacking a thread.

If you have your Email sorting by thread, and someone hits reply on a message about Blind Square, then changes the subject line to something about recipes, and sends the message, then that message will show up with all the messages in a conversation about Blind Square, so you may not think you received any responses because you did not see any messages in reply to your message about recipes. So, instead of hitting reply and changing the subject line, it is best to start a new message so it will have a thread all its own. I hope that helps.

Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
I saved this and was going to try it out but I then decided to wait until iOS 8 comes out and maybe I won't need to make any changes then.

Ask Siri to Contact x (where X is the person with the oddly spoken name). 2. Regardless of Siri's answer, press the Home button to essentially cancel the request. 3. Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri: That is not how you pronounce X. Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name. 4. Siri will ask you: Ok, how do you pronounce the name X? Siri will wait for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name. 5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri asking: Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use? 6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach Play option 1 you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the Select button associated with the desired option. 7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of the person's name such as left middle and last name. 8. When the process has completed, you will hear one of two messages: Thanks for correcting me on that, I'll pronounce it as X from now on. or Great, I'll pronounce it X from now on. If you are not presented with these Siri replies, it is likely the changes did not go through so try again. 9. If all went well, press the Home button to close any remaining Siri screen. 10. Now test your pronunciation changes by asking Siri Contact x. You should hear Siri speak the new name. If you can get this feature to work, it is very, very cool!

I could not get this to work. Hoping someone will post better instructions. Smile. For now, its definitely possible as this YouTube video demonstrates: ? Teach Siri to Pronounce Contact Names Correctly in iOS 7 - iPhone [How-To] - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPcYB3bysFQ Here are the written instructions: Teaching Siri How to Say Complicated Names If you want to teach her how to properly pronounce a name, just open up Siri and tell her, That's not how you pronounce [name goes here]. From there, she'll give you several options as to who's name you want her to learn, if she doesn't already recognize it. As an example, I used Marielle Escobar from my contacts. Siri pronounces the first name as Marielle, when it should be pronounced Mary-Lee, so I opened up Siri and said That's not how you pronounce Marielle. Siri then asks me, OK, how do you pronounce the name (Marielle)? I then pronounce the name the correct way (Mary-Lee) and Siri gives me three options to choose from, all slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an option works, press Select. Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name. You can pronounce it as well, even if it's already correct. It will then do the same thing again, giving you three options to choose from. Once you're done, Siri will say, Great, I'll pronounce it First Name, Last Name and you'll be ready to go. No more Siri massacring our exotic names. http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-siri-pronounce-contact-names-correctly-ios-7-0148665/ Joseph the free tech guy! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Proper way of connecting an iDevice to simultanious dualband WiFi?
I recently upgraded my router to a Netgear Night Hawk which supports everything including AC1300. My question is the following. For best performance, of course I want to have my iDevices using simultaneous dual band 802.11n. I've googled the subject and have found conflicting opinions on this. Some say you have to use separate SSID's for each band, 2.4ghz and 5ghz while others insist that the best way is to use the same SSID for both bands to get the full possible speed. What say you folks that have had experience with these dual band WiFi routers? Right now I have it configured with separate SSID's and have my Apple TV's using the 5ghz band for best video bandwidth and performance and use the 2.4ghz band for other WiFi devices like my iPhone since I don't do much video on them. I'd be interested in getting anyone's take on this. Best regards, Rick Alfaro -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

I recently upgraded my router to a Netgear Night Hawk which supports everything including AC1300. My question is the following. For best performance, of course I want to have my iDevices using simultaneous dual band 802.11n. I've googled the subject and have found conflicting opinions on this. Some say you have to use separate SSID's for each band, 2.4ghz and 5ghz while others insist that the best way is to use the same SSID for both bands to get the full possible speed. What say you folks that have had experience with these dual band WiFi routers? Right now I have it configured with separate SSID's and have my Apple TV's using the 5ghz band for best video bandwidth and performance and use the 2.4ghz band for other WiFi devices like my iPhone since I don't do much video on them. I'd be interested in getting anyone's take on this. Best regards, Rick Alfaro -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye
Back when I was first learning iOS with my first iPhone, what ended up helping me a lot was one of the missing guide books by David Pogue that I got off of BookShare. I of course subscribed to the different iOS mailing lists and poked around online for podcasts and information. Those resources were of course helpful, but my main learning tool was that book. There is something to be said to have a centralized source of information where one can refer to. By the time Jonathan’s iOS 7 book came out, I more or less had iOS figured out. Otherwise, I would have given it some consideration.

RE: Proper way of connecting an iDevice to simultanious dualband WiFi?
Hello Rick, I'm sure somebody will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can connect your iPhone to both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands your router broadcasts at the same time. Your router most likely broadcasts 2 SSID's (one for 2.4 and 1 for 5 Ghz) and my recommendation is to connect to the 5 Ghz band since your iPhone is capable of that although it is only capable of the IEEE 802.11N standard and not the higher-throughput 802.11AC standard. Your router is probably capable of providing simultaneous connections to devices on the 2.4 and 5 Ghz spectrum, but a device like an iPhone or a laptop can only connect to either one of them. As for 802.11AC, it was approved only in January of this year so while some devices came out before that supporting the draft version of 802.11AC, the final version was not approved until early this year which is why apple probably did not include it on the 5S and 5C or last fall's iPads.

RE: Proper way of connecting an iDevice to simultanious dualband WiFi?
Hi Sieghard. The router actually has default SSID's out of the box but of course we change those. It does not stop you however from using the same SSID for both bands. What is confusing about this is the fact that the term simultaneous dual band is used for both the routers and the iDevices and hence my questions. What do they mean by simultaneous? Those who share the opinion that using the same SSID allows your device and router to automatically choose the best connection while others say this is not the case, making the term simultaneous somewhat questionable.

I just preordered the book, and I'm definitely looking forward to getting my hands on it. I'm the type of person who enjoys reading manuals, so I feel I'll get a lot out of Jonathan's book. I listen to podcasts, too, but I find that when I do, sometimes people talk a lot, and I'd rather have them get to the point than have them ramble on like they are. This doesn't always happen, of course, but I find that having materials in text lets me go at my own pace, be that faster or slower, and have more control over the experience. Thanks, Ari On Jul 29, 2014, at 2:41 PM, Cristóbal crismuno...@gmail.com wrote: Back when I was first learning iOS with my first iPhone, what ended up helping me a lot was one of the missing guide books by David Pogue that I got off of BookShare. I of course subscribed to the different iOS mailing lists and poked around online for podcasts and information. Those resources were of course helpful, but my main learning tool was that book. There is something to be said to have a centralized source of information where one can refer to. By the time Jonathan’s iOS 7 book came out, I more or less had iOS figured out. Otherwise, I would have given it some consideration.

Re: Brl display not working with certain applications
You can mute Voiceover in an app by double-tapping with three fingers or by pressing m-chord on the Braille display. In the Kindle app, there are settings for syncing your books from your library.

Song Guru aka Guess the Song Game No Longer Working
It's been a while since I've played the Song Guru game which I think I heard about here. The game is called Guess the Song when viewed by name in the Apps section of iTunes. The last few times I've tried this app, I get a no internet connection after picking the music category and starting the game. I don't understand this message because I have 3 of 3 wi-fi bars so I'm obviously connected. The app has no link with which to contact customer support so I'm curious if anyone else has this and if so what you're experiencing. I tried removing and then reinstalling the app but this did not correct the problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the confirmation. If anyone else is interested in complaining to the developer, the email address I wrote to is toimi...@webstone.fi.

RE: installing Itunes
Hi Ann, There is only one version of iTunes you can use and that one is best installed from the computer where you want to use it and the Apple website. Here is what you do: 1. Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes 2. Use control+Shift+F to bring up the Jaws Find dialogue and ttype download into the search box, then press enter. If you make sure you are at the top of the page when you do this it will put right onto the Download iTunes Now link. 3. Press enter to activate the link. 4. On the next page just use the Jaws quick nav key for buttons which is b and press it until you find the download Now button. If you use Internet Explorer you should hear the message about the notification bar where you can select to run or save. Use Alt+N to bring focus to these buttons. I prefer to save the installation file first and then run it from my hard drive, but especially if you have a fast internet connection you could just run it. Keep in mind that it is a relatively large file so it may take a while for it to download before the install wizard starts. 5. In the installation wizard just accept the default choices and continue to press Next. There is a set of scripts John Martin wrote which are called blindTunes and which some people find helpful. They make a few things more accessible, but you best check this out as there is a Podcast on the BlindTunes website which you can find at the following address: http://www.blindTunes.net If you want to start with John's description/demo of what BlindTunes does, look for the following link: Click here to hear an audio tour of Blind Tunes - Length 47 Minutes. iTunes is actually very accessible as it is if you have one of the latest versions of Jaws. Jaws 15 is of course best, but Jaws 14 and even 13 should work well. Here Jonathan Mosen did a 2-part Podcast which I would definitely recommend. It's done in typical Jonathan fashion which means it's done extremely well. The Podcast was done as part of the FS Cast series of podcasts and it was done with Jaws 14 and after iTunes 11 came out so it's very much up-to-date. Below are the direct links for both episodes: Part 1: Episode 73, December 2012 http://podcast.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/episodes/fscast073-December2012. mp3 Part 2: Episode 74, January 2013 http://podcast.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/episodes/fscast074-January2013.m p3 apart from that Ari's offer for some one-on-one help might be a good way to go after you listened to Jonathan's Podcast which I would do first so you get an overview of how things work in iTunes. One last suggestion would be that you not use the sidebar in iTunes 11. This is not turned on by default, but if it is turned on it makes iTunes look a bit more like iTunes 10 which a lot of people think is easier. However, a recent article which somebody posted to the list a few days ago suggests that in iTunes 12 the sidebar will be finally gone completely and iTunes 12 will be released simultaneously with iOs 8 in mid to late September. It is not a good idea to not upgrade iTunes as you may not be able to backup and restore properly or at all if you have, for example, iOS 8 and iTunes 11. It is therefore better to always update iTunes when updates are released and iTunes will prompt you to do so automatically. I found a while back that I like iTunes without the side bar better and it is just as easy to use. Remember, in iTunes you mostly use the tab key to move around, the F6 key is also important to jump to certain areas and it's useful to know that, for example, Control+1 will always take you to your music library, Control+2 to your movie library, Control+3 goes to the TV Shows library, Control+6 to the books library, Control+8 goes to your apps and Control+0 goes to the iTunes Store page. OK, so at least in iTunes 11 this is the case, I guess we have to wait and see how this works in itunes 12. I am not terribly worried that accessibility takes a big step backwords in itunes 12, but then again one never knows.

Re: Best Taxi Apps?
Since I don't have any idea where you're located it's hard to say what will work best for you. Off the top of my head, I'd first recommend the White and Yellow Pages app; I use it regularly to locate all kinds of businesses. The app has several tabs to choose from at the bottom of the screen. Select the Popular Tab, then double-tap on the Taxi button. If you have location services turned on you'll instantly get a list of local cab companies, each of which can be called right from the app, which is very cool. you could also try the Taxi Magic app, which is supposed to be easy for locating available cabs in your area, and, if you don't want to worry about having cash on hand, the app will see to it that your cabbie gets paid using your debit or credit card. Lastly, I'd recommend the lyft app, which I've used a coufle of times here in los Angeles. I've found that booking rides is a snap, it works out to be cheaper than using a regular cab, and the drivers have been superfriendly. lyft, too, is cashless and walletless, so even if I lost my wallet or didn't have cash on me I could still travel. Hope this helps. If you try any or all of these options, post to the list and tell us how things work out for you.

I have had an app on my phone for a number of years called Rocket Taxi but while visiting some relatives in Naples Florida I tried to call one of the taxi companies listed on the app and it turns out the rocket taxi app is outdated and has the wrong information/listings for current cab companies. What apps do you all use for finding taxi company numbers? Can you ask siri about taxi numbers or something? It just seems there should be a good reliable app for this...I did eventually find the correct number for the taxi company here but if my relatives had not been around to help me I'm not sure what I would've done.
