TIP: How to Keep Your iPhone Silent Except for Specific Contacts
Hello Everyone, The following instructions comes to us courtesy of SimpleHelp. I hope you find it useful. Enjoy, Mark How to Keep Your iPhone Silent Except for Specific Contacts Posted: 27 May 2015 01:56 PM PDT It's a bit more detailed and confusing than it should be, so this guide will take you every single step of the way through creating a contact group - which will allow you to add one or more specific contacts that will not be muted when you set your iPhone to Do Not Disturb (silent mode). Here goes! 1. First things first, you're going to need to set up iCloud if you haven't yet. Apple has great instructions on how to do it. If you're thinking oh no, not iCloud - don't worry. This is a set it and forget it thing. If you've already setup iCloud, jump to step #2. 2. Tap Settings 3. Scroll down to iCloud and tap it. 4. Toggle Contacts to ON if it's OFF 5. Now launch your browser of choice, and visit https://www.icloud.com. If you're prompted to sign in with your Apple ID and Password, do so. 6. Locate Contacts and click it. 7. What you're going to do is create a new Group - which you can put certain contacts 'into', and contacts in that Group will always cause your phone to ring/vibrate, even when set to Do Not Disturb. Click the plus sign ( + ) in the bottom corner of the iCloud Contacts menu. 8. Select New Group 9. Give your group a name. I opted for Family, since the people I will be putting in my always ring list are family members. 10. Now simply drag and drop names from your Contact List into your new group (see screenshot below). 11. Back on your iPhone, launch the Contacts app again, and tap Groups from the top left corner. 12. In the iCloud section, make sure your new Group is selected. 13. Now return to the iPhone Settings and tap the Do Not Disturb setting. 14. Tap the Allow Calls From option. 15. Select your newly created group, and only your newly created group. 16. Back in the Do Not Disturb settings, you may want to toggle Repeated Calls to OFF. Sometimes coworkers think that the end of the world is approaching, and it's not. 17. That's it - you're done!

Doesn't the same thing apply to your favorites; just going by memory here, but if it does, it might be easier even to add someone to your favorites since it is sort of a preselected group already made for you--no plus signs, drag-and-drops etc. This certainly is a useful feature, so if there is an even easier way, I'll take it.

Amazon and CAPTCHA's [was Re: hope this isn't off topic]
Accessible options should be provided along side CAPTCHA's and every device should be accessible. Obviously there are some exceptions, but how many people thought touch screens couldn't be made accessible and blind people were just being unreasonable when they wanted accessible cell phones. If it weren't for blind people demanding accessibility and smart engineers at Apple and other companies then you wouldn't be able to be sending such short sighted messages to an iPhone list. What CAPTCHA solving services are you talking about? I can think ofWebvisum, which isn't being supported any more and only works with one particular browser. I can think of several others which have cropped up and then disappeared. If such CAPTCHA solving services bewcome so ubiquitous then companies will come up with another technology to thwart automated bots. Pinning your hopes on such 3rd party solutions is pretty short sighted and it'll never compare to just having accessibility built in from the beginning. I'm not ashamed to be part of a community that wants access to products and services that are available to all. Messages like the one below though, that undermines the work being done by those who are working hard to make our world more accessible does make me feel sorry for someone with such a negative view of the world and the blindness community.

Many people say that is not necessary to even close all apps let alone restart the phone or do a Reset all network settings, but while it may not be necessary in many cases, things can go wrong during an upgrade and many experienced iPhone people have found that it is less likely something will go wrong if you do these few simple preparations. Keep in mind that if you reset network settings you will have to reconnect to your WiFi and most likely be asked for your WiFi password after you reboot the phone. This of course is necessary for an over the air update since usually the files are too large to go over 3G or LTE. Like I said, if you want to run the least risk when doing an over the air upgrade, then do a backup either to iCloud or via iTunes, then orce quit all apps and restart your phone or to be totally safe, go to Settings, General, Reset and Reset All Network Settings. Let the phone reboot, reconnect to your WiFi, then to the update.

In order to fix this, make sure you do a 3-finger swipe up until you get to whatever is the last page of the information, in this case the terms and conditions or whatever. Then find the Agree button again and double tap it. I believe you may also be able to do a 4-finger tap to move to the very end of the information which may land you on the Disagree button, try to swipe left once and double tap.

Here goes! 1. First things first, you're going to need to set up iCloud if you haven't yet. Apple has great instructions on how to do it. If you're thinking oh no, not iCloud - don't worry. This is a set it and forget it thing. If you've already setup iCloud, jump to step #2. 2. Tap Settings 3. Scroll down to iCloud and tap it. 4. Toggle Contacts to ON if it's OFF 5. Now launch your browser of choice, and visit https://www.icloud.com. If you're prompted to sign in with your Apple ID and Password, do so. 6. Locate Contacts and click it. 7. What you're going to do is create a new Group - which you can put certain contacts 'into', and contacts in that Group will always cause your phone to ring/vibrate, even when set to Do Not Disturb. Click the plus sign ( + ) in the bottom corner of the iCloud Contacts menu. 8. Select New Group 9. Give your group a name. I opted for Family, since the people I will be putting in my always ring list are family members. 10. Now simply drag and drop names from your Contact List into your new group (see screenshot below). 11. Back on your iPhone, launch the Contacts app again, and tap Groups from the top left corner. 12. In the iCloud section, make sure your new Group is selected. 13. Now return to the iPhone Settings and tap the Do Not Disturb setting. 14. Tap the Allow Calls From option. 15. Select your newly created group, and only your newly created group. 16. Back in the Do Not Disturb settings, you may want to toggle Repeated Calls to OFF. Sometimes coworkers think that the end of the world is approaching, and it's not. 17. That's it - you're done! Now you can enable Do Not Disturb at night (or in meetings, on dates, whatever) - and your really important contacts will still be able to reach you. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Now simply drag and drop names from your Contact List into your new group (see screenshot below). 11. Back on your iPhone, launch the Contacts app again, and tap Groups from the top left corner. 12. In the iCloud section, make sure your new Group is selected. 13. Now return to the iPhone Settings and tap the Do Not Disturb setting. 14. Tap the Allow Calls From option. 15. Select your newly created group, and only your newly created group. 16. Back in the Do Not Disturb settings, you may want to toggle Repeated Calls to OFF. Sometimes coworkers think that the end of the world is approaching, and it's not. 17. That's it - you're done! Now you can enable Do Not Disturb at night (or in meetings, on dates, whatever) - and your really important contacts will still be able to reach you. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: hope this isn't off topic
Parts of this thread emphasize the need for all of us to proofread our messages before sending them. As a person who has been blind all my life, and as a person who has worked professionally for over 30 years, I can tell you that messages with obvious errors in them do not impress those reading them. While I completely understand that not all individuals are great (or even good) spellers, I also firmly believe that everyone on this list is capable of proofreading a message before sending it to the group. Am I suggesting we see only perfect messages on the list? Not at all! I am just suggesting that all proofread and correct obvious errors like to Pepsi. I almost went out to look for an app named to Pepsi until I realized what had happened. Come on, folks. Let's be responsible enough and respectful enough to proofread before sending, and let's also be responsible enough not to call people lazy or to imply that they are stupid. Just my opinion, but I think it is a good one!

Re: hope this isn't off topic
I'd just like to say that I personally don't agree there, since some of us find it really stressing to even do anything with the camera and I, for one, would not order from them if I had to keep doing this ... However much I love my iPhone, there are things about its use that make it more stressful for me, personally, than some of the more tactile ways (phones etc we used in the past) for working and I don't want to be pushed still further into this quagmire. Sorry, this is just a view and one which I suspect will be echoed by a few other users. Whilst some appear to be able to take all this in their stride and do all these things, others of us probably always will find them more difficult. Is it really necessary to put yet another step into ordering?

Re: Trivia Crack: question blocked by popup I can't dismiss
Hi, I'm wondering the same thing. It also happens if I'm in the middle of the game, and someone else either doesn't answer correctly on another game, or if it says so-and-so want to friends challenge. I am so frustrated, I have lost questions this way multiple times. And it's very aggravating!

Maynard - Original Message - From: M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 2:01 AM Subject: TIP: How to Keep Your iPhone Silent Except for Specific Contacts Hello Everyone, The following instructions comes to us courtesy of SimpleHelp. I hope you find it useful. Enjoy, Mark How to Keep Your iPhone Silent Except for Specific Contacts Posted: 27 May 2015 01:56 PM PDT It's a bit more detailed and confusing than it should be, so this guide will take you every single step of the way through creating a contact group - which will allow you to add one or more specific contacts that will not be muted when you set your iPhone to Do Not Disturb (silent mode). Here goes! 1. First things first, you're going to need to set up iCloud if you haven't yet. Apple has great instructions on how to do it. If you're thinking oh no, not iCloud - don't worry. This is a set it and forget it thing. If you've already setup iCloud, jump to step #2. 2. Tap Settings 3. Scroll down to iCloud and tap it. 4. Toggle Contacts to ON if it's OFF 5. Now launch your browser of choice, and visit https://www.icloud.com. If you're prompted to sign in with your Apple ID and Password, do so. 6. Locate Contacts and click it. 7. What you're going to do is create a new Group - which you can put certain contacts 'into', and contacts in that Group will always cause your phone to ring/vibrate, even when set to Do Not Disturb. Click the plus sign ( + ) in the bottom corner of the iCloud Contacts menu. 8. Select New Group 9. Give your group a name. I opted for Family, since the people I will be putting in my always ring list are family members. 10. Now simply drag and drop names from your Contact List into your new group (see screenshot below). 11. Back on your iPhone, launch the Contacts app again, and tap Groups from the top left corner. 12. In the iCloud section, make sure your new Group is selected. 13. Now return to the iPhone Settings and tap the Do Not Disturb setting. 14. Tap the Allow Calls From option. 15. Select your newly created group, and only your newly created group. 16. Back in the Do Not Disturb settings, you may want to toggle Repeated Calls to OFF. Sometimes coworkers think that the end of the world is approaching, and it's not. 17. That's it - you're done! Now you can enable Do Not Disturb at night (or in meetings, on dates, whatever) - and your really important contacts will still be able to reach you. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: hope this isn't off topic
I just ordered on Amazon yesterday, no CAPTCHA for me. Hope I don’t find one next time, I can’t get Webvism to work, Firefox is in my humble opinion not overly friendly, getting bookmarks to work correctly takes me heck of a lot longer than it should, only thing I like is that when I shop at Safeway it keeps giving a running total while I add or subtract items from my order. I can get the same info with IE 11 but Firefox does that automatically. Otherwise, it is certainly not my favorite product to use, only loaded it to solve CAPTCHAs and that does not work for me. Had my nephew open my PayPal account because of a CAPTCHA, nasty things, and with a hearing loss understanding the garbled mess they make of audio drives me crazy.

Re: Amazon and CAPTCHA's [was Re: hope this isn't off topic]
well, I use Rumola (which is a paid service). It works on most of the capchas that are out there. There are a couple of places where they don't work because the capcha is actually formed in a java script. One place that does this is the aliexpress.com and related sites. I have even tried webvizum without success on that one. not sure why though. -eric On May 29, 2015, at 4:56 AM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: Accessible options should be provided along side CAPTCHA's and every device should be accessible. Obviously there are some exceptions, but how many people thought touch screens couldn't be made accessible and blind people were just being unreasonable when they wanted accessible cell phones. If it weren't for blind people demanding accessibility and smart engineers at Apple and other companies then you wouldn't be able to be sending such short sighted messages to an iPhone list. What CAPTCHA solving services are you talking about? I can think ofWebvisum, which isn't being supported any more and only works with one particular browser. I can think of several others which have cropped up and then disappeared. If such CAPTCHA solving services bewcome so ubiquitous then companies will come up with another technology to thwart automated bots. Pinning your hopes on such 3rd party solutions is pretty short sighted and it'll never compare to just having accessibility built in from the beginning. I'm not ashamed to be part of a community that wants access to products and services that are available to all.

Re: How to Keep Your iPhone Silent Except for Specific Contacts
Putting them in your favorites is good, but I tend to use favorites for people that I want to contact often, or numbers for places or businesses that I want to contact often. Using a group like this is a good option for me, since I don't necessarily want the people in my favorites to be able to contact me when do not disturb is on, but I want them there for quick access. I'll have to take a look at that app that was mentioned.

I hope you find it useful. Enjoy, Mark How to Keep Your iPhone Silent Except for Specific Contacts Posted: 27 May 2015 01:56 PM PDT It's a bit more detailed and confusing than it should be, so this guide will take you every single step of the way through creating a contact group - which will allow you to add one or more specific contacts that will not be muted when you set your iPhone to Do Not Disturb (silent mode). Here goes! 1. First things first, you're going to need to set up iCloud if you haven't yet. Apple has great instructions on how to do it. If you're thinking oh no, not iCloud - don't worry. This is a set it and forget it thing. If you've already setup iCloud, jump to step #2. 2. Tap Settings 3. Scroll down to iCloud and tap it. 4. Toggle Contacts to ON if it's OFF 5. Now launch your browser of choice, and visit https://www.icloud.com. If you're prompted to sign in with your Apple ID and Password, do so. 6. Locate Contacts and click it. 7. What you're going to do is create a new Group - which you can put certain contacts 'into', and contacts in that Group will always cause your phone to ring/vibrate, even when set to Do Not Disturb. Click the plus sign ( + ) in the bottom corner of the iCloud Contacts menu. 8. Select New Group 9. Give your group a name. I opted for Family, since the people I will be putting in my always ring list are family members. 10. Now simply drag and drop names from your Contact List into your new group (see screenshot below). 11. Back on your iPhone, launch the Contacts app again, and tap Groups from the top left corner. 12. In the iCloud section, make sure your new Group is selected. 13. Now return to the iPhone Settings and tap the Do Not Disturb setting. 14. Tap the Allow Calls From option. 15. Select your newly created group, and only your newly created group. 16. Back in the Do Not Disturb settings, you may want to toggle Repeated Calls to OFF. Sometimes coworkers think that the end of the world is approaching, and it's not. 17. That's it - you're done! Now you can enable Do Not Disturb at night (or in meetings, on dates, whatever) - and your really important contacts will still be able to reach you. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: In iOS Calendar for adding a future event, what's the best way when the event is several months in the future?
Thanks, Alex. I listened to your very well done podcast twice, and followed along. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to work by any of the 3 methods on either go around, with Selected List Button, then double tap on a date with stated event, then touch screen; unselected List , double tap, touch screen, and use rotor; or Selected List button, touch screen, and change to Headings. The date I chose had 2 events spoken, but nothing was there. VO simply announced No Events or Heading Not Found. I’m running iOS 8.3 on an iPhone 6. Could there be a setting somewhere that’s not right I’m stumped. Also, I tried Fantastical. It certainly appears promising, but it seemed somewhat erratic on my first try – Jumping from May 2015 to December 2014 with a simple flick, and somehow deleting an event from a week later than the date I had selected.

RE: In iOS Calendar for adding a future event, what's the best way when the event is several months in the future?
Keith, Are you in the month view when you double tap on the date with the events? If you are, then you will find them at the bottom of the screen just under the last week of the month. The month view is like a wall calendar with each week across the screen, so the month takes about 5 lines. Then under the last Sunday of the month if you have the weeks starting on Sunday, you will find your events for that day.

Re: In iOS Calendar for adding a future event, what's the best way when the event is several months in the future?
Hi all Been reading this thread with interest, and decided to get Fantastical2 to see what it was like. Have to say so far it's been much better than the native calendar app, and I'll definitely be continuing to use it. So glad people mentioned it. Thanks.

Make sure where it says list button it is not selected. If it says selected, double tap and it will not say selected. 3. Find your day and double tap. 4. Turn the rotor to events and flick up or down. If that doesn't help, buy Fantastical 2 which will access all your events from the native calendar, etc. That is my very biased and jaded opinion.

The month view is like a wall calendar with each week across the screen, so the month takes about 5 lines.

Paypal app not letting me log in?
Hello list, I'm trying to use the Paypal app for the first time in a long time. I see my name and email address, and a field for a password. I type the password--which I just updated, so I know it's right--and that's all I can do. The enter key on the keyboard does nothing, and the Log In button remains dimmed, no matter what I do. I've tapped it anyway, I've tried to scroll to see if an error message appeared somewhere off-screen, I've tried the button with the keyboard visible *and* hidden… I'm not sure what the problem could be.

I just got this keyboard today. It is foldable like the Verbatim was. I like it, but want to warn those who may buy it that it doesn't have a home button, so I have to use the control plus option plus the letter H for a home button.

No, what I did was get on the main amazon site and get to the page where the captia appeared. On that page was a “having difficulty/sight impaired” link. I pressed this and there was a form for entering your troubles. There was a “vall me now” or a “call me in 5 minutes” button.

RE: In iOS Calendar for adding a future event, what's the best way when the event is several months in the future?
Hi, If you want a real easy one, its worth its money and it was designed for the blind. Try VO Calendar. In that one, just tap on other month, select the month you want and go to the date you want.

RE: In iOS Calendar for adding a future event, what's the best way when the event is several months in the future?
Hi, Richard. Tried it again. No luck. Yes, I’m in the month view. I go to July and make sure VO speaks Selected List button. I go to July 13, and VO speaks 2 Events. I double tap. I go to the area you suggested. VO speaks No Events. I flick back once, and get the last day of July, July 31. Still stumped.

Keith, Are you in the month view when you double tap on the date with the events? If you are, then you will find them at the bottom of the screen just under the last week of the month. The month view is like a wall calendar with each week across the screen, so the month takes about 5 lines. Then under the last Sunday of the month if you have the weeks starting on Sunday, you will find your events for that day.

If you're in Month View, so you can see all the days of the month on the screen, just touch a day and use three-finger swipes up or down to move month by month. This should get you to the right place relatively fast.

Re: In iOS Calendar for adding a future event, what's the best way when the event is several months in the future?
I have not used the native calendar app for a long time. I opened it and it proved to me why Fantastical 2 is a superior calendar. Try this with the native app: 1. Get to your desired month. 2. Make sure where it says list button it is not selected. If it says selected, double tap and it will not say selected. 3. Find your day and double tap. 4. Turn the rotor to events and flick up or down. If that doesn't help, buy Fantastical 2 which will access all your events from the native calendar, etc. That is my very biased and jaded opinion. Feel free to ignore me. I'm spending too much time fighting with other technology today, so probably have a more negative reaction to the Calendar than it deserves.

emoji's skins
When working with the Emoji keyboard, does anyone know of an accessible way to select a skin of a particular Emoji? For example, if you try to choose the hands raised in celebration emoji, you just get a sound, and then you are suppose to choose the particular skin of that emoji you want. Without having an accessible way of accessing the skins, then that would make some emoji's not available to voice over users. So if anyone knows how to select skins of an emoji, please let us know!
