Re: notification center

2014-11-29 Thread Teresa Cochran
No, your folders will be retained. You'll have to set your Voiceover, bluetooth 
and WiFi settings. You will also have to re-activate iCloud keychain again if 
you use that.. There might be a few more settings I'm missing, but it's not 
crucial, in my opinion. It's sort of a pain, though. I wouldn't have done it 
just for that purpose myself, but I was trying to restore a different option, 
which didn't work. I was surprised the notification removal process came back.

If you don't want to go through all that, you can delete each item by swiping 
to delete, but that can get to be time-consuming as well.

Listening to annotations for newly released titiles on BARD Mobile

2014-11-29 Thread Michelle Bernstein
When I go through the newly released books on BARD on my P C, I can set the
reader to just read everything from the top which
would include the book title, the author and the BARD annotation.
How do you go through the newly released titles on BARD Mobile since you
need to double tap each title to move to the next screen
where the annotation then appears?  Do you  open each title individually
and after you read each individual annotation, go back to
the list of newly released books to move down the list to then open the
next book on the list to read the annotation.  What method for going
through the list of recently added titles on BARD Mobile works best for
you?  Thank you.  Michelle

I set my router on headings.  Type the h.  that allows me to go through the

enter them in my wish list.  Very rarely do I use my iPod or iPhone because the

Deezer offers lossless music streaming for Sonos users

2014-11-29 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hello all Sonos and music enthusiasts,

 

Below is a link to an article which describes how Deezer, a music service
which has pretty much all the same features and an even larger collection of
music than Spotify is now offering hi-fi streaming for Sonos users. The
stream will of course require a pretty fast internet connection as it is in
FLAC format (free lossless audio codec) and comes in at 1,411 kbps or
better. This is compared to 320 kbps which is what Spotify Premium
subscribers get.

 

The only other music service which offers this quality and which is fairly
new and not yet available in Canada is Tidal. The Deezer Elite subscription
is $19.95 a month which is the same what Tidal charges. But anybody who
purchases a Sonos Play 1, Play 3, Playbar or I believe Play 5 as well will
get a one-year free Deezer subscription. That means if you are paying for
Spotify, you can save yourself $120 a year which goes a goodly way towards
the purchase of a Play 1 or Play 3. Anyhow, below is the link to the article
and you can of course look in the archives for my posts about Sonos and go
to www.sonos.com http://www.sonos.com  for more information. If you Google
Sonos Reviews you will also find a lot of links for reviews of the Sonos
system from independent websites like Gizmoto, CNET and so on.

 

http://blog.deezer.com/press/deezer-and-sonos-bring-music-lovers-the-first-g
lobal-high-resolution-streaming-experience/

 

I was, by the way, told that Sonos is currently working with Tidal to offer
their service via Sonos as well. This would of course be expected since
Sonos offers access to a huge list of music services via the Sonos system.

 

I should also mention that accessing Deezer via Sonos is a much better
experience than Spotify because the Spotify app on Sonos is very limited
whereas Deezer gives you pretty much full access to what Deezer has to
offer. I was excited that Spotify is finally available in Canada as of a
couple of months ago and signed up for a Premium subscription, but since I
recently purchased a couple of Play 1 speakers along with a Sonos Playbar
and Sub and now activate the one-year free Deezer subscription, I am going
to cancel my Sonos Premium subscription today. I find that with these new
lossless streaming options, the amount of music available on demand whenever
you want it and the ability to sync music to your device for off-line use
there really is less and less reason to actually go and buy the music. For
$240 a year I can have all the music I want now in lossless hi-fi format
whereas if I purchase an album via iTunes all I get is 256 kbps. Even with a
Premium subscription streaming at 320 Kbps what I get is better than what I
can buy from iTunes.

If you are streaming via a computer that is connected to a set of powered
speakers or an iPhone connected to a bluetooth speaker the higher price for
Deezer Elite is of course not worth it as you won't be able to hear the
difference between 320 kbps and the lossless format. You will need something
like a Sonos Connect Amp paired with high-end speakers or a Sonos Connect
which is hooked up to an existing high-end stereo system to fully appreciate
this increased quality.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

 couple of months ago and signed up for a Premium subscription, but since I
 recently purchased a couple of Play 1 speakers along with a Sonos Playbar
 and Sub and now activate the one-year free Deezer subscription, I am going
 to cancel my Sonos Premium subscription today. I find that with these new
 lossless streaming options, the amount of music available on demand
 whenever
 you want it and the ability to sync music to your device for off-line use
 there really is less and less reason to actually go and buy the music. For
 $240 a year I can have all the music I want now in lossless hi-fi format
 whereas if I purchase an album via iTunes all I get is 256 kbps. Even with
 a
 Premium subscription streaming at 320 Kbps what I get is better than what I
 can buy from iTunes.

 If you are streaming via a computer that is connected to a set of powered
 speakers or an iPhone connected to a bluetooth speaker the higher price for
 Deezer Elite is of course not worth it as you won't be able to hear the
 difference between 320 kbps and the lossless format. You will need
 something
 like a Sonos Connect Amp paired with high-end speakers or a Sonos Connect
 which is hooked up to an existing high-end stereo system to fully
 appreciate
 this increased quality.





 Regards,

 Sieghard

Re: Listening to annotations for newly released titiles on BARD Mobile

2014-11-29 Thread Arnold Schmidt
Set the rotor to headings. Navigate to where it says the date, then start 
one-finger swiping  down until you get to a title that you think might interest 
you.  It sometimes gets a little confused when you first start the process, 
where the date is given, but work with it a bit, and it will move you by title.

  Subject: Listening to annotations for newly released titiles on BARD Mobile


  When I go through the newly released books on BARD on my P C, I can set the 
reader to just read everything from the top which 
  would include the book title, the author and the BARD annotation.
  How do you go through the newly released titles on BARD Mobile since you need 
to double tap each title to move to the next screen
  where the annotation then appears?  Do you  open each title individually and 
after you read each individual annotation, go back to
  the list of newly released books to move down the list to then open the next 
book on the list to read the annotation.  What method for going
  through the list of recently added titles on BARD Mobile works best for you?  
Thank you.  Michelle

airplay with iOS 8.1.1

2014-11-29 Thread Richard Turner
Any airplay users out there finding that VoiceOver is now being sent to the 
airplay device under iOS 8.1.1?
Mine just started doing that two days ago.
I don't honestly remember if I had used airplay until then with iOS 8.1.1, but 
I do know that VoiceOver stayed on my iPhone 5S the last time I used airplay 
before two days ago.
This is beyond terrible.

Re: airplay with iOS 8.1.1

2014-11-29 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

Not happening for me using an iPhone 6 running 8.1.1 Airplaying to an
Apple TV. However, I now find that Airplay will frequently not
transmit either the audio or video at random as in one will work but
the other won't. Restarting things will sometimes solve the problem
but sometimes won't. The only thing that has changed is my phones
version of iOS, although this has happened since 8.1.

Cheers,
Ben.

RE: airplay with iOS 8.1.1

Thanks Jonathan, that worked, but why?

I hadn’t realized audio ducking had gotten turned off.  Is that “feature” 
documented somewhere?

That seems to me, on the face of it, one of the stupidest consequences to 
turning off audio ducking that I could think of.

Spotify and Increasing iPhone Memory Usage

2014-11-29 Thread Craig Werner
Hello, everyone.

I am enjoying evaluating the Spotify iOS app, but I am becoming
unhappy with increased iOS memory usage as I use it.  I use Spotify
only to play pieces of music; I don't download anything for offline
use, nor do I save any play lists.  Even so, I already have about 400
MB allocated to Spotify, and I have used the app about four days.  I
checked the net and discovered this is a long-standing problem which
Spotify has not addressed.  I found one post from a Spotify rep that
said a clear cache option is a good idea, but Spotify lacks
development resources.  Can anyone confirm this behavior?  Am I
missing an easy fix?

Thank you for all help.

Craig

It won't, but if you purchase the $100 I-Tunes card for $75 then you go and 
purchase the KNFB software with your newly acquired $100 card you will have 
only in fact truly payed $75 for it.

Seeing Assistant vs. Other Apps

2014-11-29 Thread Joe
Hi, I'm grateful for the developers making the Seeing Assistant Move and
Home available on sale. Can anyone draw comparisons between these apps and
their competitors? Is Digit Eyes better than Seeing Assistant or vice versa,
and how does the Move version stack up against something like Ariadne?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe that's changing though. I'm not sure what Pandora's bit rate is out of

Subject: Re: Deezer offers lossless music streaming for Sonos users


A very thoughtful post, Sieghard.

Deezer is expanding its U.S. market beyond its Bose and Sonos
offerings.  Check with www.deezer.com if you are interested in
following this growing company, headquartered in Paris.

Hello all Sonos and music enthusiasts,



Below is a link to an article which describes how Deezer, a music service
which has pretty much all the same features and an even larger collection
of
music than Spotify is now offering hi-fi streaming for Sonos users. The
stream will of course require a pretty fast internet connection as it is 
in

FLAC format (free lossless audio codec) and comes in at 1,411 kbps or
better. This is compared to 320 kbps which is what Spotify Premium
subscribers get.



The only other music service which offers this quality and which is fairly
new and not yet available in Canada is Tidal. The Deezer Elite 
subscription

is $19.95 a month which is the same what Tidal charges. But anybody who
purchases a Sonos Play 1, Play 3, Playbar or I believe Play 5 as well will
get a one-year free Deezer subscription. That means if you are paying for
Spotify, you can save yourself $120 a year which goes a goodly way towards
the purchase of a Play 1 or Play 3. Anyhow, below is the link to the
article
and you can of course look in the archives for my posts about Sonos and go
to www.sonos.com http://www.sonos.com  for more information. If you
Google
Sonos Reviews you will also find a lot of links for reviews of the Sonos
system from independent websites like Gizmoto, CNET and so on.



http://blog.deezer.com/press/deezer-and-sonos-bring-music-lovers-the-first-g
lobal-high-resolution-streaming-experience/



I was, by the way, told that Sonos is currently working with Tidal to 
offer

their service via Sonos as well. This would of course be expected since
Sonos offers access to a huge list of music services via the Sonos system.



I should also mention that accessing Deezer via Sonos is a much better
experience than Spotify because the Spotify app on Sonos is very limited
whereas Deezer gives you pretty much full access to what Deezer has to
offer. I was excited that Spotify is finally available in Canada as of a
couple of months ago and signed up for a Premium subscription, but since I
recently purchased a couple of Play 1 speakers along with a Sonos Playbar
and Sub and now activate the one-year free Deezer subscription, I am going
to cancel my Sonos Premium subscription today. I find that with these new
lossless streaming options, the amount of music available on demand
whenever
you want it and the ability to sync music to your device for off-line use
there really is less and less reason to actually go and buy the music. For
$240 a year I can have all the music I want now in lossless hi-fi format
whereas if I purchase an album via iTunes all I get is 256 kbps. Even with
a
Premium subscription streaming at 320 Kbps what I get is better than what 
I

can buy from iTunes.

If you are streaming via a computer that is connected to a set of powered
speakers or an iPhone connected to a bluetooth speaker the higher price 
for

Deezer Elite is of course not worth it as you won't be able to hear the
difference between 320 kbps and the lossless format. You will need
something
like a Sonos Connect Amp paired with high-end speakers or a Sonos Connect
which is hooked up to an existing high-end stereo system to fully
appreciate
this increased quality.





Regards,

Sieghard

U E boom questions

2014-11-29 Thread Donald L. Roberts
I would appreciate hearing from persons who have played with this blue 
tooth speaker extensively.


Assuming your equalization is flat, how well do high frequency sounds 
come through on this speaker?  I ask because I don't hear highs as well 
as I used to.  Also, some persons only seem to care about low and 
intermediate frequencies.


Does the U E boom pair easily?

And the last question for the day, what is the most discounted price you 
have found on this speaker?


Thanks.

Raul, I don't want to be arguing with you , really it is not helpful for the 
list. But I have to clarify that my porpoise is , advice and help everybody, 
even me.
I don't know if you remember, since I started writing emails to the list, 
regarding IOs problems, that I have been saying, that if we are customers of 
apple, we should push apple to do a better job. It is my porpoise. If we 
stay quiet, apple will not improve the quality of IOs. Do you Remember IOs 
6?, it had some bugs, remember Ios 7? It had more bugs than IOs 6, and look 
IOs 8, the worse IOs that the customers has seen. Looks like every year the 
quality is lower, and lower, and lower.
Why is it happening?
Easy, because apple is not feeling that they need to improve the IOs 
quality.
A few days I read on the list, someone saying that apple is doing a good 
job, because in a few weeks, they have release 2 updates of IOs 8. I don't 
see this issue on the same way. If they have to fix things, it is because 
there were things to be fix. Again Raul, if we always are happy with 
whatever apple is doing, always they will decrease the quality.
My advice to everybody, is write to apple, call them, make a lot of noise, 
then they will take care about what are the problems of their customers, but 
been good boys, quiet, they will not feel the need to improve anything.
I hope that you see now what is my porpoise writing not positive messages.

Hi Raul.
In the rules of the list, I don't see anywhere anything saying that the
messages posted to the list, should be something that is positive for apple.
Are you owner of apple?
No, right?
Ok, so if I am in disagreement with the way how apple is handling the
accessibility, something that affect me, you, and everybody in this email
list. What is your problem?
That my emails are not saying that IOs 8.x is great?
No, it is not great, and you know that.
That the way how apple is pushing everybody to upgrade their devices, not
allowing to reinstall the IOs that the people has already installed is not
fair, is not good?
Well, Raul, maybe it is something that is not positive, but it is true.
That IOs 8.1.1, after I asked here if they fixed the bugs that IOs 8 had,
and after read emails saying that there are some bugs, and other people
saying that IOs 8.1.1 is great, for example Sieghard. Person that looks like
he works with this matter, and has knowledge.
What is your problem  if after read the post in the list, and after see that
I wasn't able to  do a restore of my iPhone with the same version of IOs
7.1.2 that I had installed, I feel me frustrated?
This email list is only for people who works for apple, or people who is
happy  with apple?
No, I don't think so, I understand that this email list is to talk about
accessibility in apple devices, right?
Talk about accessibility  is everything, good and bad things.

still dealing with a few pretty frustrating bugs over two months after 
IOS 8 was released.

I don't get the pioneers reference. I don't see people moving to Apple
products as being pioneers. Apple has been making PC's longer than IBM
and Apple created the smart phone market in the US.

I also don't understand the discussion about Windows and other
technologies not protecting a user's investment. Every PC I have in my
house is older than my iPhone 4S, and they'll still be running an OS
supported by Microsoft long after Apple stops supporting my 4S.
Microsoft also supported Windows XP for over ten years. I can't think of
another company who's supported an OS for nearly that long. BTW, my
PC's, when they're running Windows, are using NVDA for their screen
reading solution. I don't think one applications upgrade model should
define the entire Windows ecosystem.

I myself have also been frustrated with Apple and both the updates to
IOS 7 and now IOS 8. I think Apple will eventually make it right,but
iPhones aren't cheap, and I don't think I should have to settle for a
sub par experience for a few months every year just because I choose to
upgrade my operating system to take advantage of new features on a
supported device. I think some of the criticism of Apple is over the
top, but I also think for things to improve in the future, Apple needs
to hear some frustration from the blindness community. I see myself as
more conciliatory, but I know from my experience in product development
and my association with accessibility professionals is that frustration
needs to be heard. Regardless of Apple's commitment to accessibility,
they are a company looking at the bottom line, and if they think they
can invest a bit less in accessibility because the blindness community
is happy with whatever we get then they will be tempted to spend less on
accessibility.

Re: notification center

2014-11-29 Thread Katey Glass
A rare bug indeed!  I  guess its not worth my trying to reset all settings if 
it may not fix it.  I guess what I'll do is continue to clear the Notification 
center with my vision and a magnifier.  I'll write to apple accessibility as I 
realize this is not the optimal solution and not one a totally blind person 
could use.  

As stated my phone was able to do this prior to iOS 8.1 which is when I updated 
my iPhone 5s.

RE: to update or not - Re: moderator warning - Re: starting with IOs 8.1.1

2014-11-29 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Christopher and others,

I agree that Pablo has a point. However, he has made his point dozens of time 
over the last few years and I think many list members are just getting tired of 
hearing his rather radical point of view true as it may be. The point is that 
repeating it on Viphone has about as much effect on Apple as beating a dead 
horse would have on riding it from point A to point B. I don't think anybody 
enjoys the bugs, but maybe it's time for Pablo to start a website or Google 
Plus community or something along these lines with the express purpose of 
attracting people who feel how he does and where Apple may notice them should 
enough people sign up. But I guess since he is leaving the iOS platform after 
his 5S lifetime is over, this will not happen so we're back at running in 
circles. I am at any rate done with comments regarding this at least until 
Pablo is back with more of the same when iOS 9 comes out *smile*.

Sieghard

RE: airplay with iOS 8.1.1

Hi Richard,

 

Have you tried to use SIRI while using Airplay or right after? On my 5S SIRI 
quits working as a consequence of Airplay, I get the listening tone followed 
instantly by the stop listening tone and have to reboot my device for this to 
be corrected. As a result I rarely use Airplay these days.
