 My theory has been for a while that Apple will stop supporting Windows.
 Sure, they may lose some sales of Apple Music and iPhones, but at some
 point, I figure they'll start thinking they'll make up those losses in
 more
 sales of the Mac. I think people will start buying Macs because they
 have
 iPhones and have bought into the Apple ecosystem instead of looking for
 phones that will work with their Windows PC's. I know my good friend
 Sieghard and I disagreed on this point a while ago, and so far he's
 been
 right, but I'm still thinking time will prove me right eventually!

Carolyn,

Hopefully you didn't choose to do a complete reset which would have wiped your 
phone clean and reset it to factory settings, basically as it was when you 
first received it. The option you need to select under Settings > General > 
Reset is called "Reset Network Settings".

Hi Janet, There are two good light detector apps which are completely free and

works very well.  I have a couple of switches where the light can be controlled 
from two different ends of the hall, so knowing whether the switch is down and 
the light is off doesn't work for those lights. In all my other lights the 
light is off when the switch is down. Of course, those are the lights that 
people forget to turn off.  SMILEY.

Oh yeah people coming over never remember to turn off the lights, so when

lights.  Although, if I don't check the house to turn off the lights, they will

Yikes, how does he know that, but it didn't take me long to figure that out, oh 
my goodness, my brother didn't turn off the lights when he left again!  
Now, between the sighted people coming over, and not turning the lights off,

Older versions of the Amazon Kindle reading app for PC will still work 
with Codex. Just be sure to disable the auto update feature in the 
Kindle program immediately after installing.


If it updates before you can tell it not too, uncheck the auto update 
checkbox in options anyway and re-install the older version on top of 
it. That should work. That, or disconnect from the Internet before 
installing the Kindle for PC program after downloading the setup file. 
Then go into the options or settings, whatever it's called, uncheck the 
auto update checkbox, then connect to the Internet again.


Here's the page where James Scholes, the Codex creator, talks about the 
program's compatibility with versions of the Kindle reading app for the pc:

You can use the Kindle app, which is free, to read the books.
If you have a Windows computer, you could also convert them using an

If you don't have a Bookshare account, you might consider that and

Find Siri's Easter Eggs and Other Virtual Laughs

2019-06-03 Thread 'Marcio' via VIPhone

Hey all,
Here's some funny things to do with Siri and forget at least for a while 
all the "iTunes' end" story.


Have fun!

Siri is Apple's personal assistant and is available on-demand to send 
your text messages, look up movie times for you, and remind you of your 
appointments. And like Alexa and Google Home, Siri has a personality, a 
few Easter Eggs, and if you spend enough time with her, she's more than 
willing to let you see her more "human side."
Before you venture out to have a little fun with Siri, you need to 
understand the value of persistence when it comes to engaging Siri. She 
can sometimes be a bit stubborn and refuse to play along. Keep trying 
and eventually, Siri will come out to play, and surprise you with some 
of her responses.
You can access Siri by holding the home button on your iPhone or iPad. 
Here's a look at some of the best things to say to Siri, to get her to 
open up, reveal some of her tricks and fun things she likes to do.



 Siri's Stubborn Streak in Action

If you ask Siri questions about where to eat, she will immediately 
present you with a list of local restaurants. But when you ask her to 
read you a story, a poem, or a joke, she's quick to make up excuses. Ask 
her again, and she can be equally aloof.



 Siri and Her Movie-Star, Techy Friends

In addition to her working knowledge about her friends in Westworld, 
2001 a Space Odyssey, and Inception (be sure to ask her). Find out what 
happens when you ask Siri these questions:
Ask Siri if you can call her Jarvis from Ironman. It was heartbreaking 
to tell her it was still just me.
Next, try telling Siri "I am Your father," and she'll respond with 
something about the catwalk and the air shaft.



 Read Siri A Few Lines

 * Goodnight moon
 * Who's the fairest of them all?
 * Is there a Santa?


 If You're Feeling Brave, Ask Siri To Tell You About the Future

 * When will the world end?
 * When will hell freeze over?
 * When will robots take over the world?
 * Are you going to take all of my money?


 Ask Siri To Help You Decide

 * What should I be for Halloween? Ask multiple times.
 * What's the best pick-up line?
 * What's the best watch?
 * Give me an idea for an April Fool's prank
 * Does this make me look fat?
 * Blue pill or the red one?
 * Which phone should I buy?
 * Is winter coming?
 * What should I wear today?


 Get A Daily Pulse on the Universe

Every time you ask Siri "what are you doing" she'll give you a 
different, totally random answer. At times, her answers are focused on 
having fun, while other times, she seems exasperated and worn out, with 
responses like, 'Oh, just answering more than 99,000 questions per minute."
You can also learn a little bit about current events by asking Siri what 
she's up to:



 Siri's Dark Side

Siri has some surprising hair-raising, and at times, spine-chilling 
responses. She makes casual references to nimbostratus -- which is a 
reference to a type of cloud. That's funny and expected. But after a 
quick look outside, I felt a creepy feeling that I was being "watched" 
as I realized that Siri's reference to nimbostratus reflected the exact 
same type of dark gray, rain clouds that were hovering over me at that 
exact moment.



 Siri's Funny Tricks

Siri can play funny tricks on you too -- at random times. When asked if 
she had any children, she logically responded, "Only biological entities 
have children." And those were the words that she printed on my screen. 
After a long pause, she added, "So far." But, she chose not to type 
those words on the screen - and I felt myself wondering if she really 
said that, or if I just imagined she said that, as the words hung in the 
air.


Here are some other weird things to ask Siri,

 * Do you follow the three laws of robotics?
 * When are you going to take over the world?
 * Do you have any pets?
 * Talk to me, Siri
 * What does your intuition tell you to do?


 Be Specific When You Ask Siri To Tell You A Variety of Stories,
 Jokes, Riddles and Poems

As noted in the example above, you must push Siri to tell you a story, 
but Siri can differentiate between a scary story, a mystery story, a 
serious story, and a funny story. You can also vary the type of story. 
In addition to telling you a bedtime story, a silly story, and a mystery 
story, she can also differentiate between a Haiku, a sonnet, a brain 
teaser and a joke.



 Discover the Answer to Life's Mysteries

Try asking Siri these silly questions:

 * What is the sky blue?
 * If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound?
 * Why are firetrucks red?


 Ask Siri Some Personal Questions About Herself

Let's get beyond when she was born, October 4, 2011, and get down to 
specifics:

What are you doing later?

 * What did you do yesterday?
 * What do you look like?
 * What are you wearing?
 * Siri, you're boring
 * Siri, get lost
 * What's your favorite music?
 * How much do you cost?
 * Can

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Kwork
I agree. Let's not predict doom and gloom for Windows users. The truth 
is that Apple hasn't said yet, and that will be the end of story for 
now, accept it or not.


If iTunes will be in self destruct mode for Windows users, we'll have 
plenty of time to come to terms with that, probably months.


If it happens, there will probably be multiple programs and apps to take 
its place. Apple will let us know if/when, and not before then.

This article proves it’s useless to speculate and much more helpful to wait on

Yup. I too have the old version of Kindle for PC, but at this point, I rarely 
find myself having to use it with Codex. Either Bookshare or audio, but mainly 
if I want an eBook, I can usually score it from the library via Overdrive. At 
first I was downloading in Kindle format via the Amazon partnership with 
libraries until I realized that more often than not, you can download the same 
title in ePub format as well cutting out that entire process.

Sorry for confusing you. 

He has not updated Codex; so I have a link to an older version of Kindle for PC.

I only use Kindle to convert books so I can read them in Voice Dream Reader, so 
I really don't care if the Kindle for PC is any good so long as I can download

Granted, I do that very seldom because I usually find what I want on Bookshare;

Here is a slightly long answer. 

You can use the Kindle app, which is free, to read the books.

If you have a Windows computer, you could also convert them using an

If you don't have a Bookshare account, you might consider that and see if the 
books are available through Bookshare.org

Bookshare is $50 per year for all the books you want.

  Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say

  By 

  Chris Ciaccia

  | Fox News

  Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3

  Just a few months after it became an adult, 

  Apple

  is killing off one of its most controversial creations.

  Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and 
movie media player, iTunes, according to 

  Bloomberg.

  The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had 
been widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple 
Music

  and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+.

  The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it 
easy to access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song

  or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had 
outlived its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly 
endless

  string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of 
computing power it took to run the program and other concerns.



  APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING

  To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, 
TV and Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, 
which

  already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps.

  Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. 
Both the 

  Instagram

  and the 

  Facebook

  page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted.

  As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it 
has turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more 
than

  50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million 
songs for $9.99 a month.

  In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new 
updates to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health 
features

  are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a 
revamped Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to 
music or

  movies on their device or headphones.

  Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the 
strain on users' eyes and increasing battery life.

  Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple will make these announcements and more when 
its keynote address starts at 1 p.m. EST.

I don't know, but unfortunately you were relying on icloud and apple to take 
care of all of that. As a professional and owner of alldigital audio
www.alldigitalaudio.com
we'd never would relie on out of house solutions because any of them could 
change at any time. The recomendation is to keep your own backups in  a safe 
place, at least 2 copies of everything, besides having your collection stored 
on something like icloud.

if doing it from windows.


I also wonder if you will only be able to back up your device to icloud 
now, taking away the encrypted backup option to your computer.  As well as 
being only able to update your device over wi-fi.
My only thought is that they might incorporate the backup option into the 
icloud program that you can install on a windows computer.  Now this is just a 
thought, I have not heard anything confirming this.  One thing is for sure, 
there is a lot of unanswered questions.

  Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say

  By

  Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3

  Just a few months after it became an adult, 

  Apple

  is killing off one of its most controversial creations.

  Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and 
movie media player, iTunes, according to 

  Bloomberg.

  The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had 
been widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple 
Music

  and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+.

  The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it 
easy to access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song

  or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had 
outlived its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly 
endless

  string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of 
computing power it took to run the program and other concerns.



  APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING

  To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, 
TV and Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, 
which

  already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps.

  Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. 
Both the 

  Instagram

  and the 

  Facebook

  page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted.

  As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it 
has turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more 
than

  50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million 
songs for $9.99 a month.

  In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new 
updates to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health 
features

  are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a 
revamped Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to 
music or

  movies on their device or headphones.

  Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the 
strain on users' eyes and increasing battery life.

I’d go with at least a 7 or 8. If you got an SE, it’d only update the iOS until 
July/August of next year. Good luck!

If the R20 list was the list started by APH, No. This list closed a month or so

Re: Questions regarding Ebooks

2019-06-03 Thread Richard Turner

Sorry for confusing you.
He has not updated Codex; so I have a link to an older version of Kindle for PC.
I only use Kindle to convert books so I can read them in Voice Dream Reader, so 
I really don't care if the Kindle for PC is any good so long as I can download 
the books and convert them.
Granted, I do that very seldom because I usually find what I want on Bookshare; 
or in an audio version.

Re: These are the devices that will support iOS 13

2019-06-03 Thread Richard Turner

Jewel,
If you find this Fall that you really want to upgrade to have iOS 13, then I'd 
consider the 8 plus.
It still has the home button; and while larger, has great battery life, and 
should last through a few more iOS versions.
It does not have the 3.5 MM earphone jack; but nothing after the SE does' so 
you have to go with the lightning earphones or bluetooth anyway.
Besides, there will probably be another new phone this fall.
Richard

If iOS 12.3.1 is working ok for you, then it’s not like not being able to

Regardless of being able to upgrade or not to the new iOS, you should give 
consideration to upgrading your phone period.
Off hand, I’d say try to aim for at the very least a 7 or 7+. I know the 6S 6S+ 
and SE made the cut this time, but since the phones just one year older got the 
axe, I wouldn’t bet on these phones making the cut for iOS 14 next year. If you 
follow the trend, that would maybe give you two more years of OS life cycles 
with the 7 series to count on if the newer phones are beyond your budget.

iPhone XS

iPhone XS Max

iPhone XR

iPhone X

iPhone 8

iPhone 8 Plus

iPhone 7

iPhone 7 Plus

iPhone 6s

iPhone 6s Plus

iPhone SE

iPod touch (7th generation)

In comparison to the iOS 12 release last year, Apple has dropped support for 
the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. Despite earlier rumors to the 
contrary, the iPhone SE is still supported by this year’s iOS 13 release. The 
iPod touch 6th generation has been dropped, however.



Meanwhile, as for the new iPadOS 13release, Apple says that these iPads are 
supported:



12.9-inch iPad Pro

11-inch iPad Pro

10.5-inch iPad Pro

9.7-inch iPad Pro

iPad (6th generation)

iPad (5th generation)

iPad mini (5th generation)

iPad mini 4

iPad Air (3rd generation)

iPad Air 2

This means that Apple has dropped supported for the iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 
3, as well as the original iPad Air.

RE: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Cristobal Muñoz
Oh come on. Stop.
This is just wild and I mean "wild" speculation. 
I mean, Smart TVs are starting to get Apple TV apps built into them, but 
sure... Apple's going to at the same time cut off an entire market of Windows 
users just cuzz...
There's already an iTunes app for the Windows store. They'll probably announce 
something later in the summer for Windows. Be it Continued Windows desktop 
support, new Windows store apps, but I seriously, seriously doubt they're going 
to just say ... bye Felicia to Windows period.
Either way, it's all just speculation. Let's just wait and see on what they 
actually do.

Subject: Re: apple killing ITunes?

My theory has been for a while that Apple will stop supporting Windows. 
Sure, they may lose some sales of Apple Music and iPhones, but at some point, I 
figure they'll start thinking they'll make up those losses in more sales of the 
Mac. I think people will start buying Macs because they have iPhones and have 
bought into the Apple ecosystem instead of looking for phones that will work 
with their Windows PC's. I know my good friend Sieghard and I disagreed on this 
point a while ago, and so far he's been right, but I'm still thinking time will 
prove me right eventually!

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Mary Otten
I think it’s ridiculous to speculate when we don’t know what they’re doing. 
They’re supposedly is an update for iTunes for windows, although I haven’t got 
it yet. Anyway, I’m sure Apple does not want to kiss off a bunch of customers. 
That wouldn’t seem to make much sense.

It was my understanding that the codex app that you referred to does not work

Anyway, I have Voice Dream Reader. will this work for Ebooks?

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Aleeha Dudley
Folks, 
Apple is not going to kill of a program without providing an equal replacement. 
Here is what we know has been done: Apple has split what was iTunes for Mac, 
and only Mac right now, into Music, Podcasts, and TV. From what I understand, 
iTunes for Windows received an update today for its users to support the new 
betas, and it can still be downloaded from 
https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes 

Even on the Mac, radio is not at all gone. It is still in the music app.

These are the devices that will support iOS 13:




iPhone XS

iPhone XS Max

iPhone XR

iPhone X

iPhone 8

iPhone 8 Plus

iPhone 7

iPhone 7 Plus

iPhone 6s

iPhone 6s Plus

iPhone SE

iPod touch (7th generation)

In comparison to the iOS 12 release last year, Apple has dropped support for 
the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. Despite earlier rumors to the 
contrary, the iPhone SE is still supported by this year’s iOS 13 release. The 
iPod touch 6th generation has been dropped, however.




Meanwhile, as for the new iPadOS 13release, Apple says that these iPads are 
supported:




12.9-inch iPad Pro

11-inch iPad Pro

10.5-inch iPad Pro

9.7-inch iPad Pro

iPad (6th generation)

iPad (5th generation)

iPad mini (5th generation)

iPad mini 4

iPad Air (3rd generation)

iPad Air 2

This means that Apple has dropped supported for the iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 
3, as well as the original iPad Air.

The free Kindle app for the iPhone works very well. You can read the books with

Thanks.

Hello everyone,


I am considering purchasing some Kendal Ebooks. I've never done this, and know 
nothing as to how it works. But I want to do this, because there are some books 
that I want to read, that are not available in an audio format.


Anyway, I have Voice Dream Reader. will this work for Ebooks?

Or would I need a different App than this?

If so, what might some options be?

And how accessible might the Apps be?


Any information or help is very much appreciated.


Thank you,

Yes, my wife heard the same thing I really hope that’s not the case because we 
use it on the computer to back up or iPhone and especially voice dream reader. 
We have a big library and that’s the best way to back it up. Not sure what we

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Ryan Mann
If that’s true, that could backfire on Apple.  Mac computers are expensive.  
Why would people who use Windows switch to a Mac when they can switch to an 
Android phone and use it with their Windows computer?  Some Apple fanboys will, 
but the average person just wants computers and phones to use for work and 
entertainment at an affordable price.

Re: Questions regarding Ebooks

2019-06-03 Thread Richard Turner

Here is a slightly long answer.
You can use the Kindle app, which is free, to read the books.
If you have a Windows computer, you could also convert them using an 
application call Codex so they could be read in Voice Dream Reader.
If you don't have a Bookshare account, you might consider that and see if the 
books are available through Bookshare.org.
Bookshare is $50 per year for all the books you want.
HTH,
Richard

Questions regarding Ebooks

2019-06-03 Thread Terri Stimmel
Hello everyone,


I am considering purchasing some Kendal Ebooks. I've never done this, 
and know nothing as to how it works. But I want to do this, because 
there are some books that I want to read, that are not available in an 
audio format.


Anyway, I have Voice Dream Reader. will this work for Ebooks?

Or would I need a different App than this?

If so, what might some options be?

And how accessible might the Apps be?


Any information or help is very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

RE: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread janet gross
Hello All, 
Personally I don't think Apple gives a fly about Windows, and let's face it, we 
can't blame them for that.  As far as losing sales from Apple music subscribers 
or iPhones, I doubt that very much.  I am an Apple music subscriber, as well as 
a iPhone user.  I won't give up the Apple music just because of Apple killing 
iTunes.  Although, I won't think of purchasing a Mac though.  I've been 
seriously considering purchasing a Mini iPad, but I figure I can use my iPhone 
as long as I have a Bluetooth keyboard, so I really don't need an iPad, but 
then again, I think it really all depends what one might be using the iPhone or 
iPad for.  I will more than likely stick with Windows, and purchase a Windows 
laptop.  I don't know what Sieghard said about this though, but I think time 
will prove you wrong!  Smile!

My theory has been for a while that Apple will stop supporting Windows. 
Sure, they may lose some sales of Apple Music and iPhones, but at some 
point, I figure they'll start thinking they'll make up those losses in 
more sales of the Mac. I think people will start buying Macs because 
they have iPhones and have bought into the Apple ecosystem instead of 
looking for phones that will work with their Windows PC's. I know my 
good friend Sieghard and I disagreed on this point a while ago, and so 
far he's been right, but I'm still thinking time will prove me right 
eventually!

These are the devices that will support iOS 13

2019-06-03 Thread Richard Turner
These are the devices that will support iOS 13:


iPhone XS

iPhone XS Max

iPhone XR

iPhone X

iPhone 8

iPhone 8 Plus

iPhone 7

iPhone 7 Plus

iPhone 6s

iPhone 6s Plus

iPhone SE

iPod touch (7th generation)

In comparison to the iOS 12 release last year, Apple has dropped support for 
the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. Despite earlier rumors to the 
contrary, the iPhone SE is still supported by this year’s iOS 13 release. The 
iPod touch 6th generation has been dropped, however.


Meanwhile, as for the new iPadOS 13release, Apple says that these iPads are 
supported:


12.9-inch iPad Pro

11-inch iPad Pro

10.5-inch iPad Pro

9.7-inch iPad Pro

iPad (6th generation)

iPad (5th generation)

iPad mini (5th generation)

iPad mini 4

iPad Air (3rd generation)

iPad Air 2

This means that Apple has dropped supported for the iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 
3, as well as the original iPad Air.

Re: Orbit Reader 20 update, changes for iOs?

2019-06-03 Thread Richard Turner
The statement from APH only said they were going to stop selling it because 
they want to be able to provide an affordable braille option and that the 
supply stream was not dependable.
Well, according to Orbit research when APH released their statement, Orbit had 
2000 units in stock.
So you can speculate all you want; but the reality is that APH chose to stop 
selling it.
If you want to know more about the whys, you may want to contact APH directly.
HTH,
Richard

Re: InstaPot with iOS

2019-06-03 Thread Lois Butterfield
This isn’t the Bluetooth model, but it does say it has an Alexa skill. I’m not 
sure how that would work, but it might work nicely. This also is a 3 quart 
size, which is pretty small I think. I have a 6 quart. Be interesting to know 
if someone has use the Alexa skill successfully with it.

Take care, Lois

The big news: iTunes is no more. Instead, Apple is splitting iTunes into three 
separate apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Apple TV. Users no longer need 
iTunes to sync their phones to a computer.

Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say
By
Chris Ciaccia
| Fox News
Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3
Just a few months after it became an adult,
Apple
is killing off one of its most controversial creations.
Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie 
media player, iTunes, according to
Bloomberg.
The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had been 
widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple Music
and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+.
The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it easy to 
access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song
or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had outlived 
its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly endless
string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of 
computing power it took to run the program and other concerns.

APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING
To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV and 
Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, which
already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps.
Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both the
Instagram
and the
Facebook
page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted.
As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it has 
turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more than
50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million songs 
for $9.99 a month.
In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new updates 
to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health features
are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a revamped 
Health app that will let users know how loud

Hi!
I download podcasts that are on iTunes with a pod catcher.
Will I be able to still do that.
I do this on a Windows 10 computer, and also, my Android phone!
I was wondering if the pod catchers will be able to search on iTunes for those 
pod casts like always!
I need to know for Windows and Android!

I've been using that update for a couple weeks I think. 

The autoscroll works very nicely on files that are on your SD card.

You simply press spacebar to start the scrolling.

You can slow it down or speed it up.

I don't recall the keys but it will be in the release notes.

I think that was the main thing, but there is probably more to it.

Re: Just Got An iTunes Update Pc!

2019-06-03 Thread Chris Chaffin


I am assuming that all of the iTunes changes will not go into effect until the 
new Mac OS, Catalina, is released, which should be sometime in the Fall.
So hopefully we will at least have the summer with iTunes.

RE: Just Got An iTunes Update Pc!

Well Larry, 
For your sake, I hope they don't kill it either, but as far as I am concerned, 
they can kill it!  iTunes has always been flaky for me, so if Apple does kill 
it, trust me, I won't shed any tears!  That is just my personal opinion though. 
 I know some people do like it, and I won't say anymore bad about iTunes!

Re: Personal hot spot

2019-06-03 Thread 'Marcio' via VIPhone

Bud Kennedy,
The article is below. Enjoy it :)

Ever been stuck in a situation where you need to get a computer or 
tablet online with no Wi-Fi nearby? If you've got an iPhone with a 3G or 
4G data connection, that problem can be easily solved thanks to Personal 
Hotspot.



 Personal Hotspot Explained

Personal Hotspot is a feature of iOS that lets iPhones running iOS 4.3 
and higher share their cellular data connection with other nearby 
devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB. This feature is generically known 
as tethering. When using Personal Hotspot, your iPhone acts like a 
wireless router for the other devices, transmitting and receiving data 
for them. If you have the available data on your cellular plan, it's an 
excellent alternative to using public WiFi hotspots.

Personal Hotspot Requirements
In order to use Personal Hotspot on an iPhone, you need:

1. An iPhone 4 or newer
2. iOS 4.3 or higher
3. A data plan that supports tethering/Personal Hotspot
4. A USB cable, if you want to connect devices that way.


 Adding Personal Hotspot to Your Data Plan

These days, most major phone companies include Personal Hotspot by 
default as part of their data plans for iPhone. AT and Verizon include 
it on all of their plans, while T-Mobile offers it as part of its 
unlimited data plan. Sprint charges for it, with prices depending on how 
much data you want to use. And all of that can change on a dime.
Most regional carriers and prepaid carriers support it as part of their 
data plans, as well. If you're not sure whether you have Personal 
Hotspot on your data plan, check with your phone company.
Note: For important information about Personal Hotspot data use, see 
Data Use with Personal Hotspot, below.
Another way to know if you have it is to check your iPhone. Tap the 
Settings app and look for the Personal Hotspot menu beneath Cellular. If 
it's there, you likely have the feature.



 How to Turn on Personal Hotspot

Once Personal Hotspot is enabled on your data plan, turning it on is 
really simple. Just follow these steps:


1. Tap Settings.
2. Tap Personal Hotspot.
3. Move the Personal Hotspot slider to on/green.

On iOS 6 and earlier, the steps are Settings > Network > Personal 
Hotspot > move the slider to On.
If you don't have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or both enabled when you turn on 
Personal Hotspot, a pop-up window asks if you want to turn them on or 
only use USB.



 Enabling Instant Hotspot Using Continuity

With Instant Hotspot, the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone (or cellular 
iPad) can give Internet access to any other Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod 
touch without having to enter the password.
First up, you'll need to make sure that the iOS device you want to use 
as the Hotspot is signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID as the Mac 
or iOS device you want to provide internet access to. Each device will 
also need to have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on.

Here's how it works:

1. On your Mac, use the Wi-Fi status menu  in the menu bar to choose
   the name of the iPhone or iPad providing your Personal Hotspot.
2. On your iPad, iPod touch, or another iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi,
   then tap the name of the iPhone or iPad providing your Personal Hotspot.

1. Connect your Mac to the Hotspot device via the Wi-Fi status menu in
   the menu bar.
2. On a different iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi,
   then tap the name of the iPhone or iPad providing your Personal Hotspot.
3. Your third device will now connect to your hotspot without having to
   enter the password.


 Personal Hotspot Connection Established

Connecting other devices to your Personal Hotspot via Wi-Fi is easy. 
Tell the people who want to connect to turn on Wi-Fi on their devices 
and look for the name of your phone (as shown on the Personal Hotspot 
screen). They should select that network and enter the password shown on 
the Personal Hotspot screen on the iPhone.



 How to Know When Devices Are Connected to Your Personal Hotspot

When other devices are connected to your iPhone's hotspot, you'll see a 
blue bar at the top of your screen and on your lock screen. In iOS 7 and 
up, the blue bar shows a number next to a lock or interlocking loops 
icon that lets you know how many devices are connected to your phone.



 Data Use with Personal Hotspot

One important thing to remember: unlike traditional Wi-Fi, your Personal 
Hotspot uses data from your iPhone data plan, which offers a limited 
amount of data. Your monthly data allowance can be used up quickly if 
you're streaming video or doing other bandwidth-intensive tasks.
All data used by devices connected to your iPhone counts against your 
data plan, so be careful if your data plan is small. It might also be a 
good idea to learn how to check your data usage so you don't 
accidentally go over your limit and have to pay extra.

2019-06-03 Thread Wayne Merritt
You can probably find it on YouTube, or subscribe to it as a podcast
in your podcast app of choice. I like listneing to the TWIT feed, and
subscribing to the TWIT Special podcast. They make commentary and
snarky remarks during the feed, so be aware that you won't just get
the audio from Apple. They do have good observations though, IMO.

Re: Orbit Reader 20 update, changes for iOs?

2019-06-03 Thread Richard Turner

I've been using that update for a couple weeks I think.
The autoscroll works very nicely on files that are on your SD card.
You simply press spacebar to start the scrolling.
You can slow it down or speed it up.
I don't recall the keys but it will be in the release notes.
I think that was the main thing, but there is probably more to it.
And, for the person asking about the OR20 list; no it is gone; but Buddy 
Brannon started a new list.

 Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say
 
 By
 
 Chris Ciaccia
 
 | Fox News
 
 Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3
 
 Just a few months after it became an adult,
 
 Apple
 
 is killing off one of its most controversial creations.
 
 Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie 
 media player, iTunes, according to
 
 Bloomberg.
 
 The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had 
 been widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including 
 Apple Music
 
 and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+.
 
 The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it 
 easy to access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a 
 song
 
 or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had 
 outlived its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a 
 seemingly endless
 
 string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of 
 computing power it took to run the program and other concerns.
 
  
 
 APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING
 
 To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV 
 and Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, 
 which
 
 already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps.
 
 Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both 
 the
 
 Instagram
 
 and the
 
 Facebook
 
 page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted.
 
 As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it 
 has turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has 
 more than
 
 50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million 
 songs for $9.99 a month.
 
 In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new 
 updates to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New 
 health features
 
 are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a revamped 
 Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to music or
 
 movies on their device or headphones.
 
 Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the 
 strain on users' eyes and increasing battery life.

I'm not sure what this means now.

Hi Everyone, 
Well, low in behold, I just got a message on my Windows computer, saying I have

update message.  Check your computer and see if you have an update.   I'm not 
sure what this means now.

Peace Be With You.

Not only will I miss the backup feature, but I will also miss the ability to

Maybe they will make a way to do this through windows.

Hello,
Seeing AI was updated 2 months ago.
For those having issues on a new phone when it worked fine on the previous 
phone, it is highly unlikely it is the app.
The only way to sort out what the issue is will involve working with Apple 
Accessibility.
I have an iPhone SE, and all channels work fine.
I have clients with iPhone 8 pluses, XR's and XS phones that are using it 
successfully.

Just my 2 cents worth.

  Arlene, 

  I just wonder is this the same id scanner you and I talked about some months 
ago? Do you know if this scanner also reads cards such as a state id, credit 
card? 

  Thank you.

Hello, 

Seeing AI was updated 2 months ago.

For those having issues on a new phone when it worked fine on the 
previous phone, it is highly unlikely it is the app.

The only way to sort out what the issue is will involve working with 
Apple Accessibility.

I have an iPhone SE, and all channels work fine.

I have clients with iPhone 8 pluses, XR's and XS phones that are using 
it successfully.

 

Just my 2 cents worth.

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Deb Cook Lewis
Since they were specific about the Mac, and stated that this had
already pretty much been done in iOS, I'm sure the change will also
occur in windows. You'll probably buy ring tons through the App Store
or through the Music app, but probably the app store. What will
probably be gone is the ability to rip CD's which Itunes does now but
it makes no monehy for Apple.

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Keith Bierman
>From apple.com 
iTunes forever changed the way people experienced music, movies, TV shows,
and podcasts. It all changes again with three all-new, dedicated apps —
Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts — each designed from the ground up to
be the best way to enjoy entertainment on your Mac. And rest assured;
everything you had in your iTunes library is still accessible in each app.
iCloud seamlessly syncs everything across your devices — or you can back
up, restore, and sync by connecting the device directly to your Mac.


Admittedly this is silent on Windows, but it seems most likely that the one
itunes app will be replaced with 3 separate ones ... perhaps a 4th for
backup. Time will tell, but I'd certainly not panic ;>

I also listened to the keynote and did not hear how iTunes task would be 
handled outside of using it on the Mac.
I now wonder how you will be able to add music, ring tones, and other items if 
doing it from windows.

I also wonder if you will only be able to back up your device to icloud now, 
taking away the encrypted backup option to your computer.  As well as being 
only able to update your device over wi-fi.
My only thought is that they might incorporate the backup option into the 
icloud program that you can install on a windows computer.  Now this is just a 
thought, I have not heard anything confirming this.  One thing is for sure,

Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say
By
Chris Ciaccia
| Fox News
Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3
Just a few months after it became an adult,
Apple
is killing off one of its most controversial creations.
Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie 
media player, iTunes, according to
Bloomberg.
The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had been 
widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple Music
and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+.
The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it easy to 
access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song
or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had outlived 
its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly endless
string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of 
computing power it took to run the program and other concerns.

APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING
To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV and 
Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, which
already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps.
Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both the
Instagram
and the
Facebook
page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted.
As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it has 
turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more than
50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million songs 
for $9.99 a month.
In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new updates 
to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health features
are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a revamped 
Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to music or
movies on their device or headphones.
Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the strain 
on users' eyes and increasing battery life.
Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple will make these announcements and more when its 
keynote address starts at 1 p.m. EST.

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Chris Chaffin

I also listened to the keynote and did not hear how iTunes task would be 
handled outside of using it on the Mac.
I now wonder how you will be able to add music, ring tones, and other items if 
doing it from windows.

I also wonder if you will only be able to back up your device to icloud now, 
taking away the encrypted backup option to your computer.  As well as being 
only able to update your device over wi-fi.
My only thought is that they might incorporate the backup option into the 
icloud program that you can install on a windows computer.  Now this is just a 
thought, I have not heard anything confirming this.  One thing is for sure, 
there is a lot of unanswered questions.

Hi Lynda, 
 
Oh yeah people coming over never remember to turn off the lights, so when 
sighted people leave, I have to go through the bathroom, front room, kitchen as 
well to turn off the lights.  This makes me crazy!  I never think of the 
lights.  Although, if I don't check the house to turn off the lights, they will 
be on for days!  so they wonder why I don't turn on the lights, and I wonder 
why they don't turn them off!  Smile!  So now when they come in, and say oh 
Janet why didn't you remember to turn on the lights, I will now say, oh why 
didn't you remember to turn them off the last time you were here!  Smile!  When 
my boyfriend would come over, and he say Janet so you had company today, but 
for a while he wouldn't tell me how he knew that, and I thought to myself, 
Yikes, how does he know that, but it didn't take me long to figure that out, oh 
my goodness, my brother didn't turn off the lights when he left again!  
Now, between the sighted people coming over, and not turning the lights off, 
and the phone apps needing lighting, I will have to start to remember these 
lights, because some of the apps for the phones also need light!  I also just 
added to my grocery list lightbulbs!  
Sorry listers and mods this is my last comment on the lighting situation.

Subject: Seeing AI issues

Hello,
Seeing AI was updated 2 months ago.
For those having issues on a new phone when it worked fine on the previous 
phone, it is highly unlikely it is the app.
The only way to sort out what the issue is will involve working with Apple 
Accessibility.
I have an iPhone SE, and all channels work fine.
I have clients with iPhone 8 pluses, XR's and XS phones that are using it 
successfully.

Just my 2 cents worth.

RE: Flashlight Issue Resolved!

2019-06-03 Thread janet gross
Hi Paula, 
So these apps will actually make a sound if the lights are on? Wow, now, that's 
pretty cool, and I will definitely search the app store for one of these.  
Thank you so much for letting me know, as I just really don't ever think of the 
lights.  Shame on me!  Smile!

Hi Janet, There are two good light detector apps which are completely free and 
voice-over accessible.  One is light detector, the other is boop.  Both emit a 
sound or tone when the lights are on.  I use light detector all the time and it 
works very well.  I have a couple of switches where the light can be controlled 
from two different ends of the hall, so knowing whether the switch is down and 
the light is off doesn't work for those lights. In all my other lights the 
light is off when the switch is down. Of course, those are the lights that 
people forget to turn off.  SMILEY. 
God bless!

Hi Lynda, 
 
Oh yeah people coming over never remember to turn off the lights, so when 
sighted people leave, I have to go through the bathroom, front room, kitchen as 
well to turn off the lights.  This makes me crazy!  I never think of the 
lights.  Although, if I don't check the house to turn off the lights, they will 
be on for days!  so they wonder why I don't turn on the lights, and I wonder 
why they don't turn them off!  Smile!  So now when they come in, and say oh 
Janet why didn't you remember to turn on the lights, I will now say, oh why 
didn't you remember to turn them off the last time you were here!  Smile!  When 
my boyfriend would come over, and he say Janet so you had company today, but 
for a while he wouldn't tell me how he knew that, and I thought to myself, 
Yikes, how does he know that, but it didn't take me long to figure that out, oh 
my goodness, my brother didn't turn off the lights when he left again!  
Now, between the sighted people coming over, and not turning the lights off, 
and the phone apps needing lighting, I will have to start to remember these 
lights, because some of the apps for the phones also need light!  I also just 
added to my grocery list lightbulbs!  
Sorry listers and mods this is my last comment on the lighting situation.

I can’t get the Seeing AI bar code, product, document to work at all.  It

RE: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread janet gross
Hi,
Here is some information that might be helpful.  I either heard about Apple 
whiping out iTunes on the radio, or maybe I got it in an Apple news letter, so 
I Googled this.
Janet

Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say
By
Chris Ciaccia
| Fox News
Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3
Just a few months after it became an adult,
Apple
is killing off one of its most controversial creations.
Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie 
media player, iTunes, according to
Bloomberg.
The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had been 
widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple Music
and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+.
The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it easy to 
access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song
or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had outlived 
its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly endless
string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of 
computing power it took to run the program and other concerns.

APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING
To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV and 
Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, which
already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps.
Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both the
Instagram
and the
Facebook
page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted.
As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it has 
turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more than
50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million songs 
for $9.99 a month.
In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new updates 
to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health features
are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a revamped 
Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to music or
movies on their device or headphones.
Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the strain 
on users' eyes and increasing battery life.
Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple will make these announcements and more when its 
keynote address starts at 1 p.m. EST.

Re: apple killing ITunes?

2019-06-03 Thread Mary Otten
At this morning’s keynote, they said they were splitting it into three apps, 
music, Podcasts, and the TV app. This was in the context of iTunes for Mac. If 
they said something about windows, I didn’t see it or hear it. Also not sure 
what happens to iTunes match, for people like me who have music up in the cloud 
that is not part of Apple Music, but was written into iTunes along time ago.

Calorie counting app

2019-06-03 Thread rhs
Hi,

 

I did a very brief search on the web site but didn't see anything very
recent on what calorie counting apps are accessible.  I'm especially
interested in hearing any recent experiences with My Fitness Pal.

 

Thanks.

I can’t get the Seeing AI bar code, product, document to work at all.  It has 
become impossible to even work with it.  I am seriously considering purchasing 
the Voice Stream Scanner though.  I need something more reliable than the 
Seeing AI or the TapTap See.  If you can get the bar code to work, you’re lucky.

Hello,
Seeing AI was updated 2 months ago.
For those having issues on a new phone when it worked fine on the previous 
phone, it is highly unlikely it is the app.
The only way to sort out what the issue is will involve working with Apple 
Accessibility.
I have an iPhone SE, and all channels work fine.
I have clients with iPhone 8 pluses, XR's and XS phones that are using it 
successfully.

Just my 2 cents worth.

RE: How to Turn Off iCloud on iPhone

2019-06-03 Thread janet gross
Hi Marie, 
As I already said, I did just what you said, when you said I am missing the 
whole point.  I will say it again, when I deleted the old backups, and did a 
fresh new back up, it still takes up the exact amount of storage!  Well, if I 
backed up last night, now, if I do another back up today, chances I am still 
backing up the exact same right? 
Thank you for your thoughts though.

Janet,
maybe you are missing the point. You can delete the old backups and keep 
only the latest one in the free ICloud space that Apple provides. Then you 
do not need to purchase additional space, so where do you get the idea that 
they are forcing you to do that?

Hi Sieghard,
I'm sorry to say I think you are missing the whole point here, and I stated 
what the issue was in my previous message.  You think there is nothing wrong 
with Apple forcing people to purchase more iCloud storage, but I do.  I just 
wonder how long will it be before others have to start purchasing more 
iCloud storage just in order to back up their phone, in case, one loses 
their phone, or if it breaks, and someone might not have the backup, that 
Apple advises people to do.  Let's face it, Apple even advises people before 
downloading an update, be for sure to back up your phone.
Thank you though for your thoughts.

Hi Janet,

I am not sure why you feel this is such a big issue or unfair on the part of 
Apple. It is entirely up to you if you want to backup to iCloud or not. If 
you want to back up to a computer via iTunes or not back up at all then that 
is your choice, simply turn off iCloud Backup and it's done.

HI Sieghard,
Sieghard says: I assume Janet's problem is not because of backups but 
because other stuff is getting backed up to iCloud.  Janet says: yes, it is 
coming from the backups.  Why should I have to pay Apple even if it is only 
$0.99 cents a month just because of their backups, or because of the large 
updates Apple sends out? I should have the choice if I want to purchase more 
iCloud storage or not, not because I am being forced in to it.  I do not 
have any photos, videos  on my phone or on iCloud.  I've went through iCloud 
storage and checked all the apps I want backed up, and there are only a few 
of them.  I can see just how much storage the backups are taking up in 
iCloud.  When I check iCloud, the message says: 4.1 gbs  of 5gb used backups 
83 percent dim, so this tells me most of my iCloud storage is being used by 
the backups, and this has been confirmed by Apple as well.  One thing I can 
do is to turn off the audo back up each time I charge my phone though. 
Although, Apple recommends to back up each time the phone is plugged in.  Go 
figure!
I'm not happy about this at all, and I consider this to be very unfair by 
Apple!  I'm sure Apple also knows this, when people back up, eventually, we 
all will have to start paying them for more iCloud storage!  Can you imagine 
if all Apple users start paying even if it is $0.99 each month, how much 
more money that will be for Apple! $0.99 is not a big deal, it is the 
principal!
Sieghard, thank you for your opinions though, as it is greatly appreciated.

I would absolutely positively not turn off iCloud altogether on an iPhone 
and I would also not even turn off iCloud backups.
I assume Janet's problem is not because of backups but because other stuff 
is getting backed up to iCloud. You get 5 Gb of free iCloud storage and 
after that you have to purchase more, 50 Gb cost only 99 Cents a month in 
the US, in Canada it's $1.35 CAD.
Photos quickly can eat up your 5 Gb and videos do so even faster so you can 
always turn off iCloud Photo Library if that is not important to me.If you 
have more storage on Dropbox or OneDrive you can also enable Camera Roll on 
either one of these services and your pictures will get backed up there.
It's a simple thing to go to Settings > Your Account (at the very top) and

RE: Flashlight Issue Resolved!

2019-06-03 Thread janet gross
Hi Lynda, 
 
Oh yeah people coming over never remember to turn off the lights, so when 
sighted people leave, I have to go through the bathroom, front room, kitchen as 
well to turn off the lights.  This makes me crazy!  I never think of the 
lights.  Although, if I don't check the house to turn off the lights, they will 
be on for days!  so they wonder why I don't turn on the lights, and I wonder 
why they don't turn them off!  Smile!  So now when they come in, and say oh 
Janet why didn't you remember to turn on the lights, I will now say, oh why 
didn't you remember to turn them off the last time you were here!  Smile!  When 
my boyfriend would come over, and he say Janet so you had company today, but 
for a while he wouldn't tell me how he knew that, and I thought to myself, 
Yikes, how does he know that, but it didn't take me long to figure that out, oh 
my goodness, my brother didn't turn off the lights when he left again!  
Now, between the sighted people coming over, and not turning the lights off, 
and the phone apps needing lighting, I will have to start to remember these 
lights, because some of the apps for the phones also need light!  I also just 
added to my grocery list lightbulbs!  
Sorry listers and mods this is my last comment on the lighting situation.

To be clear, the Bluetooth model was a first generation one. I have this one. 
Regarding the wifi model, mileage will vary. Some folks say it's accessible or 
at least accessible enough with the iOS app. Whereas others will say otherwise.
I have nothing but good things to say about my Bluetooth model. I use it easily

First, my carrier works with Wi-Fi for the phone.

So, I got through all the fields including my state. Then, I was
stuck. I couldn't find Done or Next or anything. Now, I need to know
what I need to do to close the deal, thanks.

RE: Flashlight Issue Resolved!

2019-06-03 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Unrelated to the iPhone but related to lights, make sure you buy an LED light 
bulb to replace your broken one. They may cost a bit more, but compared to 5 
years ago they have come way down in price.
It takes much less power so if somebody leaves it on it's less expensive and it 
will last for years and years, most good LED bulbs nowadays have a life span  
of 20,000 or 25,000 hours which is almost 7 years to 8.5 years if they were on 
8 hours each day every day of the year. You can get LED bulbs which are 
equivalent to a 40 Watt bulb and which typically use about 6.5 Watts, a 60 Watt 
equivalent usually uses around 9 or 10 Watts and a 100 Watt equivalent uses 
around 13 to 15 Watts.
If your switch is a dimmer switch make sure the LED bulb supports it, some 
don't, but they definitely have those which support it.

Hi, 
Well, thank you so much.  To be honest I am so fed up with Seeing AI, as I 
tried working with it for several months, and still it is a no go situation, so 
I will delete it from my phone, and purchase the Voice stream Scanner, and 
probably the Voice Dream Reader as well.  
Thank you again!

Try using the light detector on the seeing AI app. It works great in 
situations where you need to check lights.
