Re: Android's assistant for IOS?

[Robin]

I'm not sure, but ALL of Cortana's Features are NOT available on 
Google's Android and/or Apple's iOS. It will take time to discover 
which Features of Cortana are not available. As all of Google's 
GooggleNow Features are not available on Apple's iOS as well.


I can't determine whether or not this is due to Apple's restrictions, 
which prevent Google's PersonalAssistant and/or Microsoft's 
PersonalAssistant from OutShining its Own PersonalAssistant(Siri), 
but I presume this is the case.

At 06:47 PM 12/12/2015, you wrote:
Hey Chris, I'm kinda confused. What kind of restrictions are you 
talking about that Cortana has. She can make phone calls, send 
texts, make reminders, same thing as Siri can. If I remember 
correctly, Google Now can't do that stuff. So that's why I think he 
said it's either Siri or Cortana.

Google Voice is a VOIP offering from Google. Here's the URL for

RE: iCloud keeps rejecting Password For SMTP server

Hey Mark. I ended up making the iCloud mail account in Outlook manually. I

fix it but no dice. So I just did it manually. Thanks for the help.

Subject: RE: iCloud keeps rejecting Password For SMTP server

Hello Sean,  

First, let me applaud you for exploring Windows 10 with the iCloud control 
Panel.  

Second, let me assure you that Office 2007 Enterprise works perfectly well with 
the iCloud Control Panel.  

Third, it is very important that you understand what the iCloud Control Panel 
for Windows does and does not do.  

The thumbnail summary is that iCloud Control Panel does not provide for the 
conveyance of iCloud mail, in Outlook.  Now that may sound funny and some will 
argue that it is not so, however, as someone who has been using the iCloud 
Control Panel since its inception, I can tell you that I speak the truth.

When all is working as it should, iCloud Control Panel will ad your iCloud 
Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks to one Outlook profile, only.

If you want to send and receive iCloud mail, you must setup your iCloud email 
account in Outlook 2007 just as you would any iMap account; this is to say 
independently from iCloud Control Panel.  IN order to do this you will need to 
know your username, password, and incoming and outgoing iCloud server names.  
You may obtain the correct iCloud server configuration settings for Outlook 
2007 via a quick Google search.

It does not matter which Outlook profile you associate with the control panel 
as it is separate from the email protocol.  Consequently, successfully signing 
into the iCloud Control Panel in no way means that you have signed into your 
iCloud email account.


So, for example, you could have it such that when you launch Outlook both your 
iCloud mail is displayed along with all of your iCloud items such as Calendar 
events and Contacts but you could also elect, as I do, to have Outlook launch 
showing emails from a non-iCloud account while still displaying the iCloud 
Contacts, Calendars, etc.  

The point is that, in Outlook 2007 for Windows, the email functionality is 
completely separate from the iCloud Control Panel functionality.

Hi all. I don't know what to do. Today I installed Windows 10 on my old 2010 
polycarbon MacBook so I can practice getting used to it if businesses 
transition to it and also a friend of mine has it so I wanna get to know it 
better so I can help her. Anyway, I installed my copy of Microsoft Office 
Enterprise 2007 and downloaded the latest version of iCloud. When I try to send 
messages, I get this dialog to enter the password for p...@smtp.me.com or some 
crap like that. I enter my password and it keeps popping up that password 
dialog box. So that's telling me that it's rejecting my username and password. 
Any way to fix this?

Setup is simple and easy. Verify compatibility with your home heating and
cooling system, and then remove your existing thermostat. 

Say “hello” to hands-free comfort control 

 

Imagine when you want to change the temperature, you just speak to the
thermostat. Just say, “Hello, thermostat” to activate the thermostat and say
one of the preprogrammed commands like “I’m feeling cold” or “Make it four
degrees warmer.” Even across the room in a busy household, the
voice-activated thermostat can recognize your voice commands. Or control the
thermostat remotely with the Total Connect Comfort app and your smartphone.
On a business trip flying home? Just use you smartphone to view and change
your heating and cooling system. The thermostat also features on-screen
weather information, so you can check outdoor temperature and humidity on
your way out of the house. The thermostat’s color display can be customized
to any color to meet your preference or match décor.

FAQ:

*what is a C wire?

The C wire originates from your heating/cooling system and provides 24 volt
power to your Lyric.  

The C wire originates from your heating/cooling system and provides 24 volt
power to your Lyric. "C" stands for common and there is no universal color
used to designate this type of wire. If you do not have a C wire, your Lyric
will instead draw power from your heating and cooling systems to power its
battery. 

 

* I am having difficulty removing my old thermostat?

Often, the thermostat will separate from the wallplate with moderate
pressure. Other times, there might be small screws holding the device in
place. If you are unable to pull it off, please refer to your thermostat
manufacturer's website or manual for removal instructions. NOTE: Do not
place your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in a sealed
tube. Contact the Thermostat Recycling Corporation at
http://www.thermostat-recycle.org/ or 1-800-238-8192 for information on how
and where to properly and safely dispose of your old thermostat. 

 

 

* What is the range or distance of the Wi-Fi signal in my thermostat?

The range or distance of the Wi-Fi signal is determined by your router.
Check your router's manual for additional information. It is possible that
your thermostat is unable to find or maintain reliable connectivity to your
Wi-Fi network because of a poor signal from the router. For example, most
homes have “dead spots” where Wi-Fi signals are unreliable. Since the Lyric
thermostat is fixed to the wall, this problem can be corrected by moving
your router to a better location or by setting up a repeater - a device that
will pick up and rebroadcast the wireless signal from your router to your
thermostat. You can either purchase and install a Wi-Fi repeater, or
configure an additional router to serve as a repeater. Most standard routers
can be configured as a repeater. 

 

 

* I cannot connect to my guest network. What do I need to do?

Some wireless routers have advanced features like guest networks. It is
recommended that you connect your thermostat to your home network.

Hello everyone,
I am a braille user, but, have never used a braille display with my computer 
or idevice.  I am interested in possibly purchasing a braille display for 
use with my iPhone.  I would want something rather small.  Since I have 
never used one, I really know little or nothing about them.  Please give me 
some idea of a price, and what ever else I might want to consider.  Thanks

Re: OT: Apple Music: Resuming Playing of a Selection in New Session

[Craig Werner]

Candy, I phoned Apple Support and discovered a solution to this
problem.  As long as the Music app is open, the song or album last
played is remembered.  In this case, closing a session by pressing the
"Pause" button and then the "Home" button saves the user's place
provided the app remains active in the App Switcher.  Sometimes, the
simplest solutions are the most elusive.

Hi Jim,

Yes, but TruePlay is listening to what the microphone picks up and I believe 
this has to be the external microphone since the microphone on the headset 
doesn't pick up noise/sound the same way as the external microphone. So while 
plugging in a headset would get rid of Voiceover interference, it would also 
route any listening to the headset microphone.

Sieghard

Hi,

I do see myself changing them regularly between the bedroom, kitchin, sunroom 
and the carport. 

If their trueplay works as well as the inaccessible one did on my home theoter 
system that just died, it would be a shame not to be able to use it. That's why 
I am wondering if the instructions that are given are randomised according to 
the current acoustics, or if a regular patton is used. I would suspect that it 
would just be a regular patton. If so, if we could find out what the patton is, 
we could at least give it a try and see if it improves the sound, if not, you 
can revert the changes. 

Cheers,
Brett.

Hi Brett, Krister and Jim,

As long as you don't change the position of your speakers doing the TruePlay 
tuning is a one-time process so it would be very easy to do if you asked a 
sighted friend or family member to help doing this. Once it's done it does not 
interfere with Voiceover in any way.

I am just about to set the house up with Sonos, I am wondering if it is 
possible to find out where the True Play button is on screen, then toggle 
VoiceOver offf and activate it? If so, we would just need to know the order of 
the instructions that Sonos gives and we may at least have a work around to do

I had to have help to do this with saround sound systems I have had in the past 
and it did make a huge difference. It would be a shame if we couldn't find a

speakers from room to room. 

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Questions about braille display for iPhone

[Paul Ferrara]

First, and you were mentioning this, how many cells do you want/need? The 
Focus 14, ReFreshaBraille, and a few others have 14 or 18 cells and are 
great for phones. If you need more cells, you may want to consider a 40-cell 
display. The smaller ones with fewer cells, of course, are best for low 
price, and I know I am forgetting others, the Smart Beatle, for instance. I 
do not know the prices offhand, but you can check


www.aph.org

for the ReFreshaBraille

www.freedomscientific.com

for the Focus 14

and I believe Hims Inc. makes the Smart Beatle; it is the one small one I 
know the least about. It is worth talking to them too.


That should get you started.

They are easy enough to pair; each has a 4-digit code you enter into the 
phone to pair using bluetooth.


Hope that helps.

Subject: Questions about braille display for iPhone

Hello everyone,
I am a braille user, but, have never used a braille display with my computer 
or idevice.  I am interested in possibly purchasing a braille display for 
use with my iPhone.  I would want something rather small.  Since I have 
never used one, I really know little or nothing about them.  Please give me 
some idea of a price, and what ever else I might want to consider.  Thanks 
in advance.

Re: iPlayer on Apple TV

[Ben Mustill-Rose]

Hi,

The app is ok but there are a few issues. For example, the
descriptions of the programmes aren't spoken unless you navigate to a
programme, go back then enter on it again. Additionally, I've noticed
that seemingly random programme names are spoken if you leave focus on
a programme on the main screen. Navigating by word also appears to be
broken.
Definitely a good effort though & the live TV is a welcome extra.

Cheers,
Ben.

FaceTime Problems after update to 9.2

[Cris Ali]

Hello folks,
The subject says it all.  I used to enjoy FaceTime calls with my family
until this latest update to iOS 9.2.  Ever since the update the phone drops
calls very often.  Sometimes only after few seconds.  I am using iPhone 4S.

Does anyone else have a problem with FaceTime calls?  I reset all network
settings many times, but the problem was not solved.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Cris

Re: The latest iTunes is seriously confusing me!

[Brett]

'Hi, 

Another thing you could check is that your iPhone is the only USB connected 
device to your computer. When ever I forget to unplug my USB harddrive before 
connecting my iPhone, it is never seen by Itunes. 

When this happens, I need to close Itunes, umplug my phone and USB harddrive, 
then launch iTunes and then reconnect my phone. All then works as it should. 

Not sure if this is your issue, so just throwing it out there in case it helps. 

Cheers, Brett.

 If you know how I can edit ID3 tag info in iTunes, I would be most
 grateful if you could tell me how you do that. The Get Info dialogue
 has changed Significantly since the last time I used it. Everything's
 read-only now, and I can't figure out how to make the fields editable.
 Normally I just use Mp3 Tag to edit tag info, but I've found that
 iTunes doesn't always notice the changes I've made.

Re: iPlayer on Apple TV

[Jonathan Mosen]

They have done an absolutely fantastic job with this app. It's fully 
accessible, you can watch all the BBC channels live, and the on-demand 
programming is well organised. This in conjunction with the recent tvOS update, 
Pandora, and a few other new apps is making the new Apple TV very attractive.

Hi Sieghard,
Thanks for the confirmation. I hope others will report this to Apple.

RE: iCloud keeps rejecting Password For SMTP server

[M. Taylor]

Hello Sean,

Yes, now that I think about it, I suppose they have changed.  

I am writing this from a Windows PC via Outlook 2007 Enterprise.  Looking at 
the side panel, within Outlook, I can see my iCloud plug-in which contains my 
iCloud Contacts, Calendar events, Tasks, etc; there is no Inbox item.  

In previous versions, a long while ago, to me it seems, there was an Inbox item 
listed as well but no longer.

Mark

Hey Mark, so what you're saying is things have changed? Because I had the same 
configuration with Windows 7 and Ms Office 2007 enterprise and all worked fine. 
When I say the same configuration, I mean I had all my contacts, calendar 
entries  and reminders synched to outlook plus emails using the iCloud control 
panel. But if this has changed, I'll have to correct it tomorrow.

RE: Windows 10 home and itunes 12.3.2

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Richard,

 

I tried this just now on my laptop running Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit
and after I upgraded iTunes to 12.3.2 (same as yours) and I can confirm the
same behavior. iTunes crashes as soon as you get to the Genre combo box and
try to change something.

Editing song title, artist and album however seems to be no problem.

I am using Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

I have the latest iTunes, 12.3.2.

I was trying to edit the genre of a disc and got the below error.  This
happened both with NVDA and Window-Eyes, both latest versions.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close

Not a very helpful error message.

Re: Widgets with Twitter and other apps?

[Gerardo Corripio]

 OK go into the Notification Center as always; you know how you see two 
pages, Today and the regular Notifications? OK go to the Today where you 
generally see the Weather forecast;
1.-You're now on the Today area of the Notification Screen, right? Now 
flick right to where it says Edit and double-tap;
2.-You'll see that it says Insert so and so, where the so and so is for 
instance Dropbox, TuneIn etc. Double Tap on TuneIn to insert this Widget 
into the Notification Center;
3.-Double-tap the OK button and now in the Today Notification area, 
aside from the weather and reminders, you should see the TuneIN Widget 
with the 3 or four most-recently played stations on it.

You know how with iOS9 if widgets are available, one can add them to the 
Notification screen? I've got the TuneIn Radio one and it's awesome! you can 
select among the three most-recently listened stations without having to go 
into Tunein itself! Anyway I wonder wouldn't it be awesome if somehow the 
official Twitter app, would incorporate a Widget that would allow us, like we 
used to be able to do in iOS6, directly from the Notification area, send 
tweets? Yes I'm used to going into the Official Twitter app, to the Top.right 
corner where it says Edit Tweet, etc., but if such widget would be available, 
it would most certainly make publishing tweets a bit more efficient! Dont you

Widgets with Twitter and other apps?

[Gerardo Corripio]

 HI guys
You know how with iOS9 if widgets are available, one can add them to the 
Notification screen? I've got the TuneIn Radio one and it's awesome! you 
can select among the three most-recently listened stations without 
having to go into Tunein itself! Anyway I wonder wouldn't it be awesome 
if somehow the official Twitter app, would incorporate a Widget that 
would allow us, like we used to be able to do in iOS6, directly from the 
Notification area, send tweets? Yes I'm used to going into the Official 
Twitter app, to the Top.right corner where it says Edit Tweet, etc., but 
if such widget would be available, it would most certainly make 
publishing tweets a bit more efficient! Dont you guys think so?

Hi Rebecca,

Are you sure braille is set to UEB and contracted braille? You'll need both for 
the text you write in UEB to show the correct accents.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Have you rebooted your phone? If that doesn't help remove all apps from the app 
switcher, then go to Settings > General > Reset and double tap on Reset work 
settings. ?This will clear up any stuck connections and reboot your phone. 
After the phone reboots you have to go to Settings > WiFi and reconnect to your 
WiFi including entering the password.

Hello there. I cannot read download Facebook after taking it off of my apps 
list on my phone because of the fact that it was storing too much data and 
given me a lot of disk space not free. So I needed to delete the app. And I did 
so however now I can't put the app back on my phone because it says whenever 
you press the button cancel download but does not give a progress bar as to 
when it will be done and does not give a progress bar how much it is 
downloaded. I have to triple tap to get the button to click. If I just double 
tap it it just says download. If I triple tap it it goes in to cancel download 
but does not give me the proper progress bar. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Re: gadgets with touchscreens?

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Particularly good idea, cheaper and more achievable than onboard accessibility 
like you said.
BT is the only network they need to be on really;  this hooking everything to 
the actual internet is an idea fraught/frought with 
problems.

Ps:  I didn't know how to spell that, but I tried.

leading on from the discussion about thermostats: it seems to me that there are 
more and more gadgets/machines that have in 
accessible touchscreens. I am thinking of some exercise machines, some 
microwaves, and the latest version of the Thermo mix in 
particular. I am wondering, if they were Bluetooth enabled, would it be 
possible to develop apps to interface with these machines? 
in other words, would this be an area to lobby? just pulling an Idea out of the 
air here, but it seems to me we could use our phones 
for a whole lot more things now that Bluetooth is coming online in many many 
items. rather than demanding access ability in each and 
every different thing, accessibility could be achieved via apps on our phone 
instead.

just a thought,

RE: Siri and contacts with company names only:

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Mark,

I don't know why it works for you and Chris and not for me and others. I just 
tried to add "Work" which I have as the label for most companies and I made 
sure that the 2 companies I tried had that label and SIRI still tells me "Oh, 
oh, I don't have a phone number for...". Two other companies, our taxi company 
and Safeway I edited and put "Safeway" and "BV Taxi" back in the last name 
field in addition to leaving it in the company field and they work perfectly.

Regards,
Sieghard

Thank you for letting me know.  

Wow!  That's really something.  

I just tried the method I described on all three of my most recent iPhones and, 
as I was at dinner with two sighted iPhone users, I tested the same method on 
both of their iPhones and Siri worked perfectly.  Unlike me, they both have the 
new Six Plus S.

I'll definitely use the feedback form to add my voice to this problem.

Hello Mark,
Sorry, but I have already tried calling contacts that just have the name in the 
company field by including the label, and Siri still says that there is no 
phone number for that contact.
I can not say why Siri will call some of the contacts, and not call others, but 
including or not including the label makes no difference.

In my own personal case, Siri will call all of my companies except for 2 or 3.  
I can not find any difference in my company contacts, I use the same label for 
all.  I do think this is a problem that Apple needs to look into.

RE: windows 10 personal assistant on a desktop computer

Comparison of Google's GoogleNow, Microsoft's Cortana, & Apple's Siri 
as it pertains to their Functionality should be applicable/allowed 
since they are all available on Apple's iOS as either DefaultApps or 
FREE iOSApps in its AppStore.


I could SEE if Google's GoogleNow & Microsoft's Cortana weren't 
available as iOSApps, this might not be applicable/allowed. JustSaying


We'll wait for either Cara OR Mark to give the GreenLight to this

Functionalityof Microsoft's Cortana (its PersonalAssistant) for 
Apple's iOS should be applicable and/or allowed on ThisList, but I 
agree & if either Mark OR Cara decide Discussion of Microsoft's 
iOSApp, Cortana isn't applicable/allowed, Discussion should Ceas.

RE: windows 10 personal assistant on a desktop computer

[Joseph Lee]

Hi,
At least the iOS version (I think). I think we should wait for Cara to give us 
green light on this (I think these days, comparison posts on digital assistants 
such as Siri, Cortana and Google Now are quite a sensitive thread...).
Cheers,

Re: writing Spanish accent marks on the Iphone

[Andrew Lamanche]

When you write Spanish on your idevice, do you make sure you change the 
language in the voice rotor to spanish as well?  It is necessary to do if you 
want to also load the correct Braille tables etc.

Subject: windows 10 personal assistant on a desktop computer

Here are a few more comments from a screen reader using 
friend on how Cortana works on a desktop computer. I don't know how 
this compares with it's delivery on an IOS device.
If you give Cortana a reminder, when the reminder time arrives it 
puts the reminder message on the screen, but does not read aloud 
what the reminder message is. It will open word pad, but my friend 
did not succeed in getting it to open documents or even internet explorer.
What he likes is that you can ask cortana what time it is, what the 
date is, to tell you a joke or sing you a song, or tell you a 
story.  You can ask it silly things, like do you love me, or what is 
your favorite color? If you ask her who her parents are, she says, 
"bill gates."
you can ask Cortana things like, convert quarts to liters, or how 
many teaspoons are in a tablespoon, or how many miles equals how 
many kilometers, or just about any conversion you want. If you ask 
how old jimmy carter is, she will give the correct answer. If you 
ask her how old john denver is, she will reply with something like 
john denver was 42 when he died in 1987.

These are not the correct numbers - I just made them up by way of example.
Cortana can also give you the dictionary's version of word 
definition, you say hey cortana to wake her up, then you say, 
define, and then say the word, and she's right on. And if you have 
some music in your documents folder, say maybe some beatles songs, 
ask cortana to play i wanna hold your hand, and she will!
if cortana can't give you a quick and easy answer she will open a 
website that will probably help you find the answer you need!
According to my friend who I asked about this, another important 
note which might help some is that if you get windows ten, there is 
currently no screen reader that works good with windows ten. By 
default windows ten will use a new version of a browser, it it is 
called edge, to fix this press the windows key, then type in default 
programs, on the next screen you will be able to change the default 
back to internet explorer. My friend recommends doing this, since he 
finds that all the screen readers he uses work much better with 
internet explorer than with the edge browser!

It seems to me that Cortana is more a benefit than not.

 Hi Arianna,
 
 Once you find the items you wish to edit tags of, - and you can do it 
 either
 singly if necessary or else if you are changing something that refers to a
 number of items in which case you can select them and - either press
 vo+shift+m for contextual menu or try the shortcut key combination
 command+i. A dialog window will open and there you have several tabs.
 Usually the first on the left is details tab.  Listen for voiceover to say
 selected and then you will know which of the tabs is active.  Then move to
 the right where you will encounter scroll area. You need to interact with 
 it
 with vo+shfit+down arrow.  In the scroll area you can edit info.  You need
 to stop interacting with the scroll area with vo+shift+up arrow so that you
 can go left and choose another tab like options.  'And again you will need
 to find the scroll area to interact with it and make your changes.  Explore
 all the tabs so that you become more familiar with the changes available.
 Once you have finished, you need to find ok button so that your changes 
 take
 effect.  I know it's a lot of learning but it will be worth it.
 
 One word about selecting tracks in your music table.  If you for instance
 want to change a tag for all songs in an album, select this album in your
 music browser first.  then interact with the table of songs, highlight them
 all with command+a and call up "get info' contextual menu item.  You can
 make your changes for all the tracks simultaneously.
 
 It's more troublesome to change tags for a few traks in a longer list of
 items.  The way I do this is to interact with the table of songs first, and
 then use the command vo+command+enter key to select items I want.  Use
 vo+down arrow to move down or up the list and when you've found the item 
 you
 wish to add to the list of highlighted tracks, press vo+command+enter key 
 to
 add it to selection. Voiceover will say so.  Then when you've completed 
 your
 selection, you can double check with key combination vo+f6 to hear all the
 items that are currently selected.  Then you can call up your contextual
 menu to make changes.
 
 Hope this will help somewhat.

According to my friend who I asked about this, another important note which
might help some is that if you get windows ten, there is currently no screen
reader that works good with windows ten. By default windows ten will use a
new version of a browser, it it is called edge, to fix this press the
windows key, then type in default programs, on the next screen you will be
able to change the default back to internet explorer. My friend recommends
doing this, since he finds that all the screen readers he uses work much
better with internet explorer than with the edge browser!
It seems to me that Cortana is more a benefit than not.

 If you know how I can edit ID3 tag info in iTunes, I would be most

 has changed Significantly since the last time I used it. Everything's

 Normally I just use Mp3 Tag to edit tag info, but I've found that

Sorry, I haven't tried the Forbes magazine. I just access content on the

Christopher,
Thanks for the link I took a look and it was very interesting. I found myself 
buying one copy of the Forbes magazine for the iPhone. as far as I can tell, it 
is in accessible to voice-over, seemingly, being only image based. not sure 
where to go from here… i'm tempted to try and get my money back, but don't even 
really know how to do that. I have a feeling that I haven't got to the bottom 
of things though, as I know they mentioned links and buttons, which, 
presumably, will not be access a ball even to the sighted, if the magazine is 
only an image. do you know any more about it? Have you tried it?

Re: Apple Music: Resuming Playing of a Selection in New Session

[Craig Werner]

Thank you for your suggestion, Arnold. The "My Music" tab displays music I
have purchased or that I have added to my library. The music I am talking
about is music I have listened to but have not purchased, which does not
appear accessible in the 'For You' tab. As I said,
the player used to pop up on the first screen of Apple Music, but after
suggesting liked music to the service, this option seems to have
disappeared.

Re: gadgets with touchscreens?

[Kimber Gardner]

We recently installed a Casa Vera system to control thermostats and
lights in our house. Although the thermostats themselves are not
accessible and the iOS app is not great, the system can be accessed
through the web interface on my iPhone. It's not especially easy to
control and required some exploration and a bit of playing but it's
doable. Interestingly, I can't say the same for access from the laptop
using a screen reader.

So yeah, I think we have a ways to go with accessibility of this type of gadget.

Re: gadgets with touchscreens?

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

Christopher,
Thanks for the link I took a look and it was very interesting. I found myself 
buying one copy of the Forbes magazine for the iPhone. as far as I can tell, it 
is in accessible to voice-over, seemingly, being only image based. not sure 
where to go from here… i'm tempted to try and get my money back, but don't even 
really know how to do that. I have a feeling that I haven't got to the bottom 
of things though, as I know they mentioned links and buttons, which, 
presumably, will not be access a ball even to the sighted, if the magazine is 
only an image. do you know any more about it? Have you tried it?
Or thoughts very welcome, Sandy

 YES! She (she being Cortana) can definitely Sing?
 She can also TellJokes. She can also perform many
 activities a PersonalAssistant should, but I am
 unsure if those actions will be available due to
 Apple's restrictions, which prevent Google's
 GoogleNow & Microsoft's Cortana from outshining Apple's Siri on iOS.

there's a lot of buzz around something called the Internet of Things,

I can't read download Facebook. It says cancel download but does not show progress bar tell me how far it is downloading what do I do?

[Gerald Mader]

Hello there. I cannot read download Facebook after taking it off of my apps 
list on my phone because of the fact that it was storing too much data and 
given me a lot of disk space not free. So I needed to delete the app. And I did 
so however now I can't put the app back on my phone because it says whenever 
you press the button cancel download but does not give a progress bar as to 
when it will be done and does not give a progress bar how much it is 
downloaded. I have to triple tap to get the button to click. If I just double 
tap it it just says download. If I triple tap it it goes in to cancel download 
but does not give me the proper progress bar. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Re: Apple Music: Resuming Playing of a Selection in New Session

Just guessing here.  Do you have the my music tab selected?  If not, see if 
this helps.

Hello, everyone.

I am a new user of Apple Music.  The first few times I accessed the
service, I could start playing an album, close the session, re-open
it, and be presented with the album's name to play.  Now, instead of
having this handyat the bottom of the screen, I am faced with a list
of Apple recommendations.  How can I easily find the music I was
playing during the previous session without re-initiating a search for
it?

Thanks for all help.

YES! She(Cortana) can Sing ON both Google's 
Android & Apple's iOS, but I discovered she sings 
a different version/iteration of HappyBirthday 
sometimes on either Google'sAndroid and/or Apple's iOS

Re: iCloud keeps rejecting Password For SMTP server

[Shawn Krasniuk]

Hey Mark, so what you're saying is things have changed? Because I had the same 
configuration with Windows 7 and Ms Office 2007 enterprise and all worked fine. 
When I say the same configuration, I mean I had all my contacts, calendar 
entries  and reminders synched to outlook plus emails using the iCloud control 
panel. But if this has changed, I'll have to correct it tomorrow.
