RE: iPhone 8 with the messaging app.

2017-10-07 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
You must have deleted some messages because the “Null” appears in the place of 
where the message was.
If you exit the Messages app, then bring up the app switcher and close it 
completely, then reopen it the “Null” occurances will be gone and all should be 
as always.

Interesting that I am seeing "Null", but I'm not deleting any messages.
What does seeing "Null" mean and is there a work around so that I can continue 
to scroll?

Is it because you deleted messages using the rotor and then you have that blank 
space which Voiceover reads as “null”? It almost sounds like that because 
closing the app will fix this.

Subject: iPhone 8 with the messaging app.

Hi: I'm experiencing a reoccurring problem in the messages app with the iPhone 
8. The app seems to lock and I can only scroll through certain messages (say 10 
or so); and can't get down through the older ones or up to the newer ones. So 
what I have to do is go to the app switcher and close the messages app, then it 
is fine.
Is anyone experiencing this problem, and is there a solution?
Thanks.

RE: A glitch with ring tones since updating to 11.

I did not have the problem, all my custom ringtones were still there.
Maybe the Reset Network Settings does help here, don't know, but I have had 
very few if any of the issues some people here mentioned except of course for 
those which are actually bugs like the deleting of text messages wit the rotor

I also have an issue with the ringtones with IOS 11 and my IPhone 7. But my

Thankfully there are only a handful of contact to which I have assigned

I am having an issue with the ringtone on my iPhone 7-plus since updating to 
IOS--11. When I receive a call from any one who I have not assigned a ringtone 
to, the default tone happens. I tried to change my tone to one that I have 
purchased, and the tone shows up as changed, but the old default tone is still 
ringing. I changed it in settings and in my contacts, but it does not work. Am 
I missing something?

Re: Downloading entire Bookshare library at once

2017-10-07 Thread Arnold Schmidt
Not only do I think the downloading of an entire library not possible, I don't 
think Bookshare would want it to be possible. I think I remember reading in one 
of their policy statements that their reason for being was not so that people 
could amass their own private library, rather to have access to books one 
wanted to read in the present or immediate future, then delete them. One can 
access their book history, and also keep reading lists on Bookshare itself, but 
Bookshare is meant to be a  service from which one can have a library from 
which one can borrow books, then delete them, as opposed to Kindle, or Audible, 
where one purchases them.

Hello list,
So, I’ve been a member of Bookshare since it started around 2002 or 2003. I’ve 
downloaded probably thousands of books in this time. In the process of doing 
so, the older format is not compatible with apps like VoiceDreamReader on iOS 
or the book quality has since been replaced by a better formatted/scanned 
version. That and I may have some books here and others there. This and that 
backup on the cloud or external drive, etc.
My question is… is there in fact a way to download my entire book history in 
one shot or am I looking at a labor intensive task sifting through God knows 
how many titles that stretch back over ten years?
Would appreciate any info on whether this can be accomplished in a reasonable 
manner.
I’m a Windows user, but my main reading device is the iPhone these days. I 
would ideally like to get everything on my PC first and then upload to the 
iPhone.

Re: Problem with Kindle app

2017-10-07 Thread Arnold Schmidt
When you are within a book and have stopped reading, double tap the screen and 
it should say menu. This is a menu of items for that specific book. In the top 
left of the screen should be a button that says menu. Double tap this, and 
there are further options dealing with the specific book, and other options, 
one of which is a library button in the top left of the screen. This will take 
you out of the book, into your library.

Re: Native Mail App

2017-10-07 Thread dollar031
Hi,  Sorry for a late response.  I am using the native mail app for my email.  
I have noticed that sometimes that I am missing some emails once a while.  I 
have a question for you all.  How can I stop the mail native app for missing 
some emails?  Does this has to do with the fetch?  Is there a way that I can 
turn the fetch offf?  Thank you,  Scott Dollar

Re: Downloading entire Bookshare library at once

2017-10-07 Thread Dani Pagador
I don't think it's possible. It'd be like me trying to download my
entire Previously Downloaded list from BARD; for that you'd need to
add each book individually to the Wish List and then download them one
by one. I've got at least eight years worth of books on that list. :)

I know that they're two different services, but think they're the same
in at least that respect.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

More Later,

I like and use TV Guide Mobile on a daily basis. The initial setup is a little 
tricky, but once set up it is very accessible.

  Hi all, So our tv finally works and we don’t have cable so all I want is a 
simple tv guide app to let me know what’s on my local channels please.

   

  Also, since I know we’re not supposed to send thank you messages I will say 
thank you in advance.

Hello all,


I know there have been many questions on this list, regarding both of

because I don't travel alone. Just a personal choice.

However, now I have some questions about both services.


First of all, is there a difference in the services?

Is 1 better over the other? I know that will be opinion. But sometimes
there isn't anything wrong with this.


Is 1 App easier to use than the other?

Now if I set up 1 of these Apps on my phone, do you always have to pay
with a card?

And if the App is on my phone, can I send an Uber, or Lift driver to
maybe pick a friend up, as long as the charges are set to my card?

Also, will you know ahead of time how much a trip might cost?

What does each App go by, when it comes to pricing?


Any help with any of this would be much appreciated.

Re: Questions regarding Uber, or Lift

2017-10-07 Thread Andy Baracco
The answer to pretty much all of your questions is yes. i find that the 
services are pretty much the same, in fact many drivers drive for both 
services. I find the apps easy to use, but i guess that's a matter of skill 
level, self confidence, etc. Yes, you pay with a credit or devit card, and 
this info is given when you set the app up. Yes, you can make stops along 
the way. Yes, you can schedule a ride for someone else, but it will be 
charged to you. With lyft, you choose a tip amount, and it is added to the 
charge on your card. I believe that you can tip Uber drivers with cash, if 
you prefer.
Each company offers several ride options that vary with your geographical 
area. In large cities like L. A. for example, Uber and Lyft both have a 
shared ride service which saves you some money if you don't mind sharing the 
ride with another passenger. I find that the trips are intuitively 
scheduled, so you are not taken much out of your way to pick up and drop off 
the other passenger.
In some cities Uber has a service called Access which uses a wheelchair 
equipped vehicle, and the drivers receive additional training for serving 
folks with disabilities. i do not know if Lyft offers this service.
in some cities, you can schedule rides in advance. I know you can do this 
with lyft, not sure about Uber. The web sites for both are very informative, 
and will tell you which services are available in your particular area.
There is also a service for seniors called Go Go Grandparent, which allows 
you to order these rides by making a phonecall.
This service is offered by Great Call, You can call 855 464-6872 to sign up 
and order rides from this service. Note that there is an additional charge 
per ride when you use this service.

HTH!
Andy

 Hi all,
 
 I’m due for an upgrade soonand I’ve used my 6S 64 GB space gray for the 
 past two years.
 
 I’m firstly considering the Iphone 8 vs the 8+, of which the better 
 reported battery life and larger screen work area (I also type a lot 
 onscreen), are cons for the +, but smaller pocket size and cheaper price 
 are cons for the 8.
 
 I think the cameras are the same between the two so for youtube video 
 making and OCR work they should be identical, but I have the following 
 questions:
 
 Do both 8 and 8+ have optical image stabilization?
 Do both 8 and 8+ have stereo speakers, and do you think they would sound 
 exactly the same (listening to audio books and youtube very important for 
 better sound on phone speakers)?
 And are there any other worth while mentioning differences between the two?
 
 And lastly, I think the X would be everyone’s dream phone, but I already 
 hear production is low and they may not ship enough units by 5 Nov to 
 U.S., thus to South Africa will probably take another million years, plus 
 cost, at $1000 starting, by the time South Africa gets it it will cost 
 excessively more than the 8 and 8+.  Wondering if worth waiting vs the 
 price.
 
 Do any of you have your 8 or 8+ yet, and what are your thoughts on the 
 phone speed, feel, speakers, battery, etc.

Re: Accessing the menu from within a Kindle Book

Hi Kathy,

I'm using iOS 11 and the most recent version of the Kindle app. Double-tapping 
the screen brings up the menu. Have you tried restarting your phone, and 
removing the app from the app switcher and then running it again?

Best,

What does seeing "Null" mean and is there a work around so that I can continue

Is it because you deleted messages using the rotor and then you have that blank 
space which Voiceover reads as “null”? It almost sounds like that because 
closing the app will fix this.

Subject: iPhone 8 with the messaging app.

 

Hi: I'm experiencing a reoccurring problem in the messages app with the iPhone 
8. The app seems to lock and I can only scroll through certain messages (say 10 
or so); and can't get down through the older ones or up to the newer ones. So 
what I have to do is go to the app switcher and close the messages app, then it 
is fine.

Is anyone experiencing this problem, and is there a solution?

Thanks.

Re: How to make a calendar entry using Siri .. more info

2017-10-07 Thread Ann Byrne
You can ask siri "What are my appointments for October", and she will 
tell you.  You can say, "change the date of my September 25th 
appointment to October 20th", and she will do it.  I believe she will 
also cancel an appointment.

Re: How to make a calendar entry using Siri

Siri wants a title, time and date.

I usually say: "Schedule an appointment, titled orthopedics, on 
October 11 at 8:30 AM."  Siri repeats what she thinks I said.  I can 
say 'change title' or "change time".  Siri asks if I want to schedule 
the appointment and I say Yes.  then if something is slightly wrong, 
or if I want to add additional notifications, I edit the entry.

RE: How to make a calendar entry using Siri

2017-10-07 Thread Richard Turner
Hi Mary,
There are several ways to do this, but the syntax I have settled on is to say:
"create an appointment titled Dr. Smith on November first at 10 AM."
Siri will repeat it and ask if you want it scheduled, say yes and you are done.

You can add the length of the appointment to by saying create a 90 minute 
appointment, and so on.
I hope that helps,
Richard

Accessing the menu from within a Kindle Book

I am running IOS 11.0.2 and Kindle version 5.15.2 with VoiceOver on an iPhone

Voice dream reader update, I spoke too soon

2017-10-07 Thread Mary Otten
I saw that update yesterday and double tapped on update. I assumed it had 
updated. But there were problems yesterday off and on with the iTunes Store at 
Cetera, and I must've tried the update during one of those times. Because when 
I went into updates today, I saw a whole bunch of updates that I thought I had 
already done, including voice dream reader. So my report about no problems does 
not relate to yesterday's update. And given what was earlier reported, I am not 
updating. My history with this application is such that I am not taking a 
chance on it.

I am 99.9% sure that this is incorrect. There is something else that's

on the 7+. Could it be maybe only for the back camera? There's more to this 
than just saying it's not available.

How to make a calendar entry using Siri

2017-10-07 Thread Mary Otten
Hi all,
Occasionally I have tried to use Siri to make a calendar entry. Usually 
something messes up. I think there is a certain specific syntax you have to 
use, and then it works. I don't use it often enough to remember that syntax. 
Can someone please refresh my memory. It would be awfully nice if Siri could 
become smart enough not to need specific syntax in order to get a simple 
calendar entry correct. Maybe this has improved in iOS 11??

Hello list,

So, I’ve been a member of Bookshare since it started around 2002 or 
2003. I’ve downloaded probably thousands of books in this time. In the 
process of doing so, the older format is not compatible with apps like 
VoiceDreamReader on iOS or the book quality has since been replaced by 
a better formatted/scanned version. That and I may have some books 
here and others there. This and that backup on the cloud or external 
drive, etc.


My question is… is there in fact a way to download my entire book 
history in one shot or am I looking at a labor intensive task sifting 
through God knows how many titles that stretch back over ten years?


Would appreciate any info on whether this can be accomplished in a 
reasonable manner.


I’m a Windows user, but my main reading device is the iPhone these 
days. I would ideally like to get everything on my PC first and then 
upload to the iPhone.


Thanks,

Cristobal

Subject: Instacart is driving me crazy!



Hello everyone,


Instacart is going to cause me to pull my hair out!

By any chance, could someone please help me?


First of all, I haven't used the App in probably 4 months. I even
removed it from my phone, until today.

Now I need to use it again today. And I feel from now on I will just
leave the App on my phone.


So anyway, I signed in with what I thought was my sign in information.

However, I will admit, I couldn't remember it for certain.


But it seemed as though it recognized me, because it showed me the items
I last ordered.


So I went about ordering stuff. But I couldn't remember how to add stuff
to my cart. So instead I made a list, and just decided to add that to
the list, once I was done.


But then it turned in to a huge mess. I kept seeing buttons for log-in,
or log in with existing account. I even saw an area to enter your zip 
code.



Well nothing would work for me. Nothing happened when I attempted to use
either log-in option. Also, I couldn't enter a zip code, it wouldn't let 
me.



So I called a good friend of mine who uses the App regularly. He
refreshed my memory on how to add stuff to the cart.

Then he went through his App, and he told me if I went to the my items
area, I should see what I last ordered. But that I should also see my
list. I think it was it's own separate option.

However, I can't find that list anywhere. I am frurstrated, because it
took me a while to make the list.


What do I do?

Where do I start with my issues?

Any help would be so great!


Thank you,


Terri

RE: iPhone 8 with the messaging app.

Is it because you deleted messages using the rotor and then you have that blank 
space which Voiceover reads as “null”? It almost sounds like that because 
closing the app will fix this.

Hi: I'm experiencing a reoccurring problem in the messages app with the iPhone 
8. The app seems to lock and I can only scroll through certain messages (say 10 
or so); and can't get down through the older ones or up to the newer ones. So 
what I have to do is go to the app switcher and close the messages app, then it 
is fine.
Is anyone experiencing this problem, and is there a solution?

This is not my day to get anything to work. Lift issues

2017-10-07 Thread Terri Stimmel
Hello everyone,


So I am trying to get Lift set up on my phone.

I got to the point where I am supposed to enter a code, that I received 
in a text message.

However, I can't enter the code. There seems to be no box. So what the 
heck am I supposed to do?

I've tapped on different areas, thinking a box would come up. Nothing 
happens. I even tried using the phone keypad, and not my bluetooth 
keyboard. But that didn't seem to make a difference.


What the heck could be going on?

Does anyone have any ideas?

I don't really want to sign up with my Facebook. I just haven't ever 
been a big fan of that.


Thank you,


Terri

Instacart is driving me crazy!

2017-10-07 Thread Terri Stimmel
Hello everyone,


Instacart is going to cause me to pull my hair out!

By any chance, could someone please help me?


First of all, I haven't used the App in probably 4 months. I even 
removed it from my phone, until today.

Now I need to use it again today. And I feel from now on I will just 
leave the App on my phone.


So anyway, I signed in with what I thought was my sign in information.

However, I will admit, I couldn't remember it for certain.


But it seemed as though it recognized me, because it showed me the items 
I last ordered.


So I went about ordering stuff. But I couldn't remember how to add stuff 
to my cart. So instead I made a list, and just decided to add that to 
the list, once I was done.


But then it turned in to a huge mess. I kept seeing buttons for log-in, 
or log in with existing account. I even saw an area to enter your zip code.


Well nothing would work for me. Nothing happened when I attempted to use 
either log-in option. Also, I couldn't enter a zip code, it wouldn't let me.


So I called a good friend of mine who uses the App regularly. He 
refreshed my memory on how to add stuff to the cart.

Then he went through his App, and he told me if I went to the my items 
area, I should see what I last ordered. But that I should also see my 
list. I think it was it's own separate option.

However, I can't find that list anywhere. I am frurstrated, because it 
took me a while to make the list.


What do I do?

Where do I start with my issues?

Any help would be so great!


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Questions regarding Uber, or Lift

2017-10-07 Thread Marie
I use Uber here in Reno with great success and I have to question the 
treatment of their drivers. I have asked almost every driver if they have 
any problems with Uber and they say "No". And I tend to wonder if some of 
these rumors come from the taxi services who want Uber and Lift gone because 
of the competition. The services have certainly taken business away from 
them with good reason. Here, the Reno taxis are not as clean, and the prices 
are exorbitant so I don't use them but use Uber instead as many others do.
I live outside the ADA area so can not always depend on Para transit so Uber 
has made it so much easier for me to get around independently.

Subject: RE: Questions regarding Uber, or Lift

The apps themselves are of course free, whether one service is better than 
another may depend on your city. In some places the same drivers may drive 
for Lift and Uber.
Here in Canada Uber is only available in a few of the larger cities and I 
have used it in Calgary and the drivers were always very good, but at one 
point we went from our hotel to a mall using Uber and then going back we 
used a regular taxi, both times it was in the late afternoon/early evening 
when things were quite busy and the distance was not very far, maybe 2 or 3 
Km. In that example Ueber was more expensive because of their surcharge 
during times when there is high demand and of course there is all the bad 
press Uber has been getting because of how they are treating their 
employees, their drivers and some of the practices they have employeed which 
are unethical to say the least. They are suffering because of this right now 
with London having revoked their license and I think there is a chance they 
are getting kicked out of Quebec. Vancouver on the other hand is apparently 
going to start letting Uber come in this fall, at least that was the plan.

Hello all,


I know there have been many questions on this list, regarding both of these 
services. Unfortunately, I didn't keep up with the threads, because I don't 
travel alone. Just a personal choice.


However, now I have some questions about both services.


First of all, is there a difference in the services?

Is 1 better over the other? I know that will be opinion. But sometimes there 
isn't anything wrong with this.



Is 1 App easier to use than the other?

Now if I set up 1 of these Apps on my phone, do you always have to pay
with a card?

And if the App is on my phone, can I send an Uber, or Lift driver to
maybe pick a friend up, as long as the charges are set to my card?

Also, will you know ahead of time how much a trip might cost?

What does each App go by, when it comes to pricing?


Any help with any of this would be much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

I did fix the problem.  What I ended up doing was going in to settings, 
general, reset, and reset network.  Once the network settings were reset and 
the phone was rebooted, everything worked just fine.  It has been said that 
before you install an update to IOS on the phone that you should reset network 
settings first.  I never had problems before, so I did not do this, but I will 
do this for now on.  You will have to reenter your Wifi information, but things 
will work better.

iPhone 8 with the messaging app.

2017-10-07 Thread John J. Fioravanti, Jr.
Hi: I'm experiencing a reoccurring problem in the messages app with the
iPhone 8. The app seems to lock and I can only scroll through certain
messages (say 10 or so); and can't get down through the older ones or up to
the newer ones. So what I have to do is go to the app switcher and close the
messages app, then it is fine.

Is anyone experiencing this problem, and is there a solution?

Thanks.

RE: Questions regarding Uber, or Lift

2017-10-07 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
The apps themselves are of course free, whether one service is better than 
another may depend on your city. In some places the same drivers may drive for 
Lift and Uber.
Here in Canada Uber is only available in a few of the larger cities and I have 
used it in Calgary and the drivers were always very good, but at one point we 
went from our hotel to a mall using Uber and then going back we used a regular 
taxi, both times it was in the late afternoon/early evening when things were 
quite busy and the distance was not very far, maybe 2 or 3 Km. In that example 
Ueber was more expensive because of their surcharge during times when there is 
high demand and of course there is all the bad press Uber has been getting 
because of how they are treating their employees, their drivers and some of the 
practices they have employeed which are unethical to say the least. They are 
suffering because of this right now with London having revoked their license 
and I think there is a chance they are getting kicked out of Quebec. Vancouver 
on the other hand is apparently going to start letting Uber come in this fall, 
at least that was the plan.

Sieghard

Subject: Questions regarding Uber, or Lift

Hello all,


I know there have been many questions on this list, regarding both of these 
services. Unfortunately, I didn't keep up with the threads, because I don't 
travel alone. Just a personal choice.

However, now I have some questions about both services.


First of all, is there a difference in the services?

Is 1 better over the other? I know that will be opinion. But sometimes there 
isn't anything wrong with this.


Is 1 App easier to use than the other?

Now if I set up 1 of these Apps on my phone, do you always have to pay 
with a card?

And if the App is on my phone, can I send an Uber, or Lift driver to 
maybe pick a friend up, as long as the charges are set to my card?

Also, will you know ahead of time how much a trip might cost?

What does each App go by, when it comes to pricing?


Any help with any of this would be much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

RE: Apple wireless EarPods

2017-10-07 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
You won’t notice any lag with bluetooth keyboards, it’s when you use the 
onscreen keyboards where bluetooth earpieces show their limitations. I know 
some of you say it doesn’t exist with your Voyager Edge or your Airpods or 
whatever other fancy headset or earpiece you have, but I have tried many over 
the years, I have a Voyager Edge and while the lag is not horrible, it’s 
noticeable. I tried Airpods at an Apple Store with the same result, it’s just 
the nature of the beast. Maybe when Apple releases new Airpods next year with 
Bluetooth 5.0 support and a new W2 chip they finally get past that. Until then 
one other observation I have made is that just because a headset or speaker is 
new and uses a higher version of Bluetooth such as 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2 that does 
not automatically mean it has less lag than say a Bluetooth 2.1 or Bluetooth 
3.0 device. I experienced this first hand when I bought a quite expensive 
Plantronics stereo headset which had Bluetooth 4.0 and the lag was so bad that 
I returned it because it was impossible to use it with Voiceover.

Sieghard

RE: Questions regarding Uber, or Lift

2017-10-07 Thread Lynda Ingraham
Hi Teri, 

I recently started using Lyft and like it a lot. I have only had one friver 
that I rated less than 5 stars. She received that rating based on poor 
navigation skills. She had to make one right turn and drive for 1.5 miles 
straight to get to my house. With GPS, she got lost. 

Lyft will allow their drivers to accept their tips in cash. As far as paying 
the fare, yes, it must be paid through a card. 

You can schedule and pay for a ride for a friend on your phone. 

Both apps are pretty easy to use. You can put in the pick up and drop-off 
locations and then get an estimate. A car will not be sent unless you 
specifically tap on the button that says "request ride." I was afraid I was 
going to have a car sent when I was getting pricing info. Just be sure to not 
press "request ride" unless you really want a ride. 

I may be wrong about this fact. I thought that I read the background check for 
Lyft drivers is a little more extensive than for Uber. I asked two different 
drivers. Both said the background check with Lyft was more extensive. Again, 
not positive this is the case.

HTH

Hi Amy & Sieghard & Amy;

The only way I found around this situation is to turn Voiceover off and get

God Bless

Re: Apple wireless EarPods

2017-10-07 Thread Michael Feir
I don't experience any sluggishness with my Microsoft Universal Mobile
keyboard while typing. This is the case even while using airpods or my
Trekz Titaniums. However, I do own a couple of older Bluetooth speakers
which are very sluggish to the point of being useless if using Voiceover.
You should be in good shape presuming you're using reasonably modern
equipment. I type around 90 words per minute. Currently, there is a nasty
problem with Braille displays when using iOS11. Hopefully, that will be
fixed in the upcoming iOS11.1 update.

Questions regarding Uber, or Lift

2017-10-07 Thread Terri Stimmel
Hello all,


I know there have been many questions on this list, regarding both of 
these services. Unfortunately, I didn't keep up with the threads, 
because I don't travel alone. Just a personal choice.

However, now I have some questions about both services.


First of all, is there a difference in the services?

Is 1 better over the other? I know that will be opinion. But sometimes 
there isn't anything wrong with this.


Is 1 App easier to use than the other?

Now if I set up 1 of these Apps on my phone, do you always have to pay 
with a card?

And if the App is on my phone, can I send an Uber, or Lift driver to 
maybe pick a friend up, as long as the charges are set to my card?

Also, will you know ahead of time how much a trip might cost?

What does each App go by, when it comes to pricing?


Any help with any of this would be much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

 Hello List, I was wondering for those who use the Apple wireless EarPods, how 
is typing using them? I know that using Bluetooth and typing on a virtual 
keyboard is sluggish at best. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Apple's tricky iOS 11 photo tech gets a helping hand - CNET

2017-10-07 Thread M. Taylor
CNET News - Friday, October 6, 2017 at 5:57 AM
Apple's tricky iOS 11 photo tech gets a helping hand - CNET
Apple's new phone software means your photos take up half the space they
used to, and that's great. But it also can bring some complications. 
Good news: New tools are emerging to help you avoid the hassles -- and to
take better advantage of the change.
The new photo compression technology comes with the HEIC image format Apple
built into iOS 11, the iPhone and iPad software that arrived in September.
HEIC is a version of technology called HEIF -- High Efficiency Image Format
-- that needs less storage space than the decades-old JPEG format. It throws
other photography advancements into the bargain, too, to help with things
like Apple's portrait mode.
 
The Half app lets you convert your iPhone's JPEGs into smaller HEIC files,
then delete the JPEGs.
Screenshot by Stephen Shankland/CNET 
Apple was careful to add safeguards that prevent HEIC compatibility problems
and to warn app developers to take similar precautions. For the most part,
HEIC images are in effect an internal format that gets converted into JPEG
when it's time to post a photo to Facebook or email it to your cousin.
The trouble comes when HEIC images leak out of their protective Apple
confines, as, for example, when you're experimenting with the format. You
can't display an HEIC image on incompatible devices like Windows laptops,
Android phones or Macs that don't run the latest MacOS software. It's tough
moving beyond file formats as entrenched and useful as JPEG -- but that's
where the new utilities come into play.
HEIF and HEIC exemplify the pitfalls of progress in the computing industry.
You often can't benefit from shiny new tech until it's widely adopted  --
think of owning the first fax machine or a Mac with USB-C ports that don't
work with old peripherals. But technology companies are scared to embrace a
new technology until they're convinced wide adoption will happen.
That kind of chicken-and-egg problem has hurt other image standards, like
Microsoft's JPEG XR and Google's WebP.
Smoothing the way
Happily, there are tools that make HEIC's arrival easier to manage, whether
that's avoiding its pains or embracing its benefits.
Free online tools let you convert HEIC images into JPEG if you're stuck with
one you can't handle. Vietnamese developer Tran Dang Khoa added an HEIC
converter alongside many other conversion tools. And Beamr, maker of the
JPEGmini software for optimizing photo and video file sizes, added its own
online HEIC-to-JPEG converter that can handle up to 30 photos at a time. If
you want to convert HEIC photos on your Windows or Mac PC, the free iMazing
app can help you there.
These cropped-in views of a larger image show how HEIF, left, offers richer
colors and fewer speckly artifacts near high-contrast borders compared to a
JPEG of about the same size.
Nokia 
But what if you want to go the other way, shrinking your JPEGs into HEIC
photos? For that, a $3 iOS app called Half for iOS devices can help. Half
also sells a $5 version for Macs. The unrelated HEIF Utility gives Windows
users a conversion option, too.
With Half, you tell the app which photos to shrink and it'll tell you how
much smaller the HEIC version is and ask whether you want to delete the
original JPEG. A batch mode to convert photos en masse is on the way, said
developer Christina Statescu, as is a tool to shrink videos into HEIC's
close relative, HEVC.
File-sync fixes
The obvious way HEIC photos could leak out is with file-sync apps like
Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive. Fortunately, the companies
behind those tools have you covered.
Dropbox can automatically ingest your photos, but on iOS by default it
converts HEIC files to JPEG. If you want to keep the HEIC images, open the
Dropbox app, tap the "recents" tab at the bottom left, tap the settings gear
icon on the upper right, tap "camera uploads" and change "save HEIC photos"
to HEIC.
 
iMazing's converter can help if you're stuck with an HEIC image you need to
change to JPEG.
iMazing 
Microsoft OneDrive also converts to JPEG. "This puts a user's photos in the
most compatible format and will allow them to view their photos on OneDrive
mobile apps, OneDrive.com, and in Windows 10," Microsoft said in a
statement. If you don't like it, you can disable automatic conversion by
opening settings, tapping on "advanced," then turning off the "Upload Most
Compatible" feature.
The PhotoSync app, which synchronizes photos across your devices and
photo-sharing services like Flickr and 500px, also converts HEIC into JPEG. 
Google Drive leaves HEIC files as HEIC, but the app now can view them on iOS
and Android and through the drive.google.com website.
Apple settings
If you're running iOS 10 or earlier or have an older iPhone, you won't get
an option to save HEIC images in the first place. But if you're using a
newer phone, you can enable it through the iOS settings app. Scroll down to
"Camera," tap 

The iPhone Didn't Emerge From Nothing. Here's What Came Before It

2017-10-07 Thread M. Taylor
On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs stood on the MacWorld stage in his jeans and
a black turtleneck. "Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes
along that changes everything," he declared. "Today, Apple is going to
reinvent the phone."
The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World, by Anthony
Brandt & David Eagleman
catapult

Even after years of speculation, the iPhone was a revelation. No one had
seen anything like it: here was a communication device, music player, and
personal computer that you could hold in the palm of your hand. The media
hailed it as trailblazing, almost magical.

Bloggers called it the "Jesus phone." The introduction of the iPhone was
characteristic of great innovations: they come at us unexpectedly, with
novelty that seems to have come from nowhere.

But, despite appearances, innovations don't come from nowhere. They are the
latest branches on the family tree of invention. Research scientist Bill
Buxton has curated a collection of technological devices for decades, and he
can lay out the long genealogy of DNA that has forged a path to our modern
gadgets. Consider the Casio AT-550-7 wristwatch from 1984: it featured a
touchscreen that allowed the user to finger-swipe digits directly onto the
watch face.

Ten years later-and still thirteen years before the iPhone-IBM added a
touchscreen to a mobile phone.

The Simon was the world's first smart phone: it used a stylus and had a
collection of basic apps. It was able to send and receive faxes and emails,
and had a world time clock, notepad, calendar, and predictive typing.
Unfortunately, not many people bought it. Why did the Simon die? In part
because the battery lasted only one hour, in part because mobile phone calls
were so expensive at the time, and in part because there was no ecosystem of
apps to draw upon. But just like the Casio touchscreen, Simon left its
genetic material in the iPhone that followed "from nowhere."
Twenty-two years after Kramer's idea, Apple debuted the iPod.
Kane Kramer

Four years after the Simon came the Data Rover 840, a personal digital
assistant that had a touchscreen navigated in 3-D by a stylus. Contact lists
could be stored on a memory chip and carried around anywhere. Mobile
computing was gaining its footing.

Looking through his collection, Buxton points to the many devices that paved
the way for the electronics industry. The 1999 Palm Vx introduced the
thinness we've come to expect in our devices today. "It produced the
vocabulary that led to the super thin stuff like today's laptops," Buxton
says. "Where are the roots? There they are, right there."

Step by step, the groundwork was being laid for Steve Jobs' "revolutionary"
product. The Jesus phone didn't come from a virgin birth after all.

A few years after Jobs' announcement, the writer Steve Cichon bought a stack
of timeworn Buffalo News newspapers from 1991. He wanted to satisfy his
curiosity about what had changed. In the front section, he found this Radio
Shack advertisement.
Steve Cichon/Buffalo Stories archives

Cichon had a revelation: every item on the page had been replaced by the
iPhone in his pocket. Just two decades earlier, a buyer would have spent
$3,054.82 for all this hardware; they were now taken care of by a five-ounce
device at a fraction of the cost and material. The ad was a picture of the
iPhone's genealogy.

Groundbreaking technologies don't appear from nowhere-they result from
inventors "riffing on the best ideas of their heroes," as Buxton observes.
He likens Jonathan Ive, the designer of the iPhone, to a musician such as
Jimi Hendrix, who often "quoted" other musicians in his compositions. "If
you know the history and pay attention to it, you appreciate Jimi Hendrix
all the more," Buxton says.

In a similar vein, science historian Jon Gertner writes:

We usually imagine that invention occurs in a flash, with a eureka moment
that leads an inventor towards a startling epiphany. In truth, large leaps
forward in technology rarely have a precise point of origin. At the start,
forces that precede an invention merely begin to align, often imperceptibly,
as a group of people or ideas converge, until over the course of months or
years (or decades) they gain clarity and momentum and the help of additional
ideas and actors.






Like diamonds, creativity results from pressing history into brilliant new
forms. Consider another of Apple's breakthroughs: the iPod.

In the 1970s, piracy was a major issue in the record industry. Retailers
could return unsold albums to a record company for a refund; many took
advantage of this to send back counterfeit copies instead. In one case, two
million copies of Olivia Newton-John's album Physical were printed, and in
spite of the album topping the charts, an astounding three million copies
were returned.

To stop the rampant fraud, British inventor Kane Kramer came up with an
idea. He would develop a method to transmit music digitally across phone
lines, and an in-store
