from:"Andrew"

Hi all,
I just had a few more questions relating to overseas travel.
A friend of mine suggested just taking my iphone 4 and leaving the 5 behind
and just downloading the apps I would use while overseas. I must confess I
had forgotten about the fact that the you can have your account on multiple
devices at the same time. Lol silly me. Anyway, I was just wondering, If I
have apps that download audio content, such as audible and downcast, Are the
audio files synced when I automatically update to ICloud and if so, could I
turn on my iphone 4 and download these apps and will my books and podcasts
previously downloaded be automatically redownloaded, or will I have to
redownload them onto the 4?
Also, I have my clock set to automatically update time, so I'm assuming when
I turn on my phone in England, the local time is automatically updated and I
can view it on the phone?
Thanks heaps for any info you can give me,
Hope you all have a great day,
Andrew

RE: Can I have more than one e-mail account on an iDevice?

Hi all, I'm weighing in a little late on this discussion and have missed a
few emails so if this has already been covered sorry, but just wondering if
you were to have two accounts setup, how would you switch between them?

Hi Bill and list.
Chiming in on this discussion, as others have already stated yes you can
have more than one email account configured on your favourite i-device.
I have several accounts configured on my iPhone 4S.
And, when you open the native mail client you can pick which account you
would like to view so the emails from each account are separated, they are
not all lumped together such as they are if you configure multiple email
accounts in a program like ms outlook express on windows.
However, as the native mail app on the i-devices configures itself so that
the password for each account is saved by default under settings/mail
contacts and calendars another concern which may be important to bring up in
the context of this conversation is that of security or the lack thereof,
I.E., user 1 could quite easily view the email, contacts, and calendar
belonging to user 2.
Of course, depending upon the relationship of the two users in question
under this setup security may not be a concern, however; as we don't know
such finite details I figured I'd toss this issue out for discussion.
Best to all - Ed.

Hi Andrew and Jonathan,

Actually, Jonathan, I believe if you have Setting Time Zone set to on in
Settings, Privacy, Location Services, System Services, then your iPhone's
time will be set according to the time zone you are in whether you have
local service or not.

I am pretty sure of that because when I went to Thailand recently I first
flew from Vancouver to Beijing, China. As soon as I arrived and turned off
Airplane Mode, the time set itself even though I still had my Canadian SIM
in the phone and it said No Service. When I then flew to Bangkok the next
day once again the time set itself correctly when I arrived in Bangkok even
before I bought and put in the Thai SIM card.

I usually turn all the system services off because I found that in iOS 5
having especially the Setting Time Zone set to on, really seemed to use up
a lot of battery. Even now when I am looking at it, it says Requested your
location within the last 24 hours. I think if this is set to On it
constantly checks your location, probably using the GPS.

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi Andrew, what happens time-wise when you turn your phone on depends on the
network you are using. Many networks have a service that sets the time for
you when you connect, but not all. So you may or may not find the time is
set right. If you don't have a local sim in your phone, which would allow
you to use your phone a lot more effectively, then you can manually select a
network to rome on and hopefully find one that pushes the time for you.

deleting music off IPhone

Hi all,
I have 2 gb of music I want to delete from my iphone, but can't find how to do 
it using the music app on the phone itself, and den I go into itunes and plug 
my phone in, then navigate to where I can see my songs on my device, select all 
and press delete, nothing seems to happen. 
I still can see the music and no confirm delete message comes up.
Any help is appreciated.

RE: deleting music off IPhone

Hi Sieghard,
Thanks *smile* I've had the iphone for a while but had forgot about the
action rota. 
I have also listened to the fs casts and found them very helpful. *smile*
God bless,
Andrew

Subject: RE: deleting music off IPhone

Hi Andrew,

You can delete songs, albums or artists directly on the phone. If you open
Music and, for example, select artists at the bottom. Then let's say you
have Air Supply listet as an artist and want to delete it. Just swipe until
you are on Air Supply, now do a single finger swipe up or down. Voiceover
will say Delete and then you just double tap anywhere.

This is a new iOS 6 feature and it's called the Action Rotor setting. In
certain apps like in Mail, Messages, in the Favorites part of the phone app
etc. the rotor automatically switches to this setting and the single finger
swipe up or down toggles between Default and Delete. It is on Default
by default so to speak which means if you are on Air Supply and do a double
tap it will open this Artist and display any albums or songs. But if you
flick up or down to change from default to delete, then the double tap will
delete.

Now, if you connect to iTunes and want to erase all music, just make sure
you go to your Device, check Music and then say you don't want to sync any
music. Then do a sync and all music should be gone.

Keep in mind that in iTunes it's not really like you can delete something,
you have to uncheck it and then sync to your phone. It sounds as if you are
quite new to the iPhone and I highly recommend you listen to Jonathan
Mosen's 2-part series of Podcasts on the Freedom Scientific website. I don't
know if you are a Windows or Mac user and, if you are a Windows user if you
use Jaws 14 with iTunes 11, but Jonathan does a great job explaining on how
to use iTunes with Jaws and even if you were using a different screenreader
you would still get something out of this. You can find the Podcasts here:

http://www.FreedomScientific.com/FSCast

If you use a Podcast app like Downcast or iCatcher on your iPhone, you can
also subscribe to the Podcast from that app. I think it was the January and
February FS Casts, so there would be 2 newer ones since the April FS Cast
was just released, then there is March and then February. January would be
the first part of the series.

Sieghard

RE: Can I have more than one e-mail account on an iDevice?

Hi Sieghard,
Thanks for the info, once an account was set up, how would I switch from one
to the other to check mail? Is there something like switch account, that I'd
double tap on and then accounts would be in a list and I just select the one
I wish to view and it takes me to the inbox of that account and starts
automatically downloading mail?

Hi Andrew,

Yes, you can have as many as you want, well, I guess having 10 may not be
practical and if you had them all set to Push it would use up a lot of
battery. Anyhow, I have both my business email and my one personal Hotmail
account set up, you can either see all emails in the All Inboxes folder or
you can go to each account separately. You would set one of the accounts as
your default account, typically it's whichever one you create first that is
set as the default account by default. If you compose a message and want to
send it from the other account, you can double tap on the From field, then
a pop up control becomes visible where you can flick up or down and select
whichever account you want.

The iPhone has predefined account types such as Exchange, gmail, Yahoo,
Windows Live Hotmail or you can choose other and then you can choose
whether you want to set up the account as an IMAP or POP account. If you
want your mail to be kept in sync between a computer and your iPhone or even
have other devices, I highly recommend you use IMAp or, if you use a Hotmail
or Outlook.com account, use the Windows Live Hotmail account which sets up
the account using Exchange Active Sync.

I just looked at your email address and I don't know what the Bigpont.net
provider offers, but obviously you would need to have the correct
information handy as far as IMAP settings are concerned or if they only
support POP, you need incoming server, outgoing server, user name, password
etc.

I personally like Outlook.com a lot which used to be Hotmail/Windows Live
because Microsoft has done a lot of upgrades to the service and it's top
notch.



Regards,
Sieghard

I can't check right now, since I only have the one account on my iPhone at
the moment, but you should be able to back out to an Accounts page in the
email client on the iPhone and then select the account who's mail you want
to handle. Once you select the account, you should see a list of the mail
boxes in that account, including the in box.

keeping apps open while downloading content

Hi all,
Just wondering, If I'm downloading books from audible, do I have to keep the
app open while downloading? Or can I close it go do other stuff or even lock
the phone and the will the books keep downloading? When I say close I don't
mean in the app switcher, just close it so it's in the background.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

RE: BeMyEyes: A ground braking product I'm a part of

2013-04-30 Thread Andrew Head

Vizwiz already does this. You take a photo record a question and it uploads
to a server and volunteers send answers back. 
This is just my humble opinion, but if you skype or facetime a person just
to get the answer to a question like what can is this or the expiary date
etc, using vizwiz or even a scanning app such as text detective seems much
quicker and more efficient, and if you were to call a stranger ask your
question and have them answer you probably in less than a minute, seems a
bit pointless use of data and time consumption when there are already other
apps out there.
I agree when you have sighted family and friends as well as other apps I've
mentioned and others, I personally feel there isn't a need for this one.

Hi:
Hi:
Their are people who don't have access to family or friends that can help
them sometimes. However the technology already exists to do what is being
proposed. The idea of using volunteers and Skype or facetime has more
potential. If people are concerned with privacy and not giving away their
info all they need to do is set up accounts in Skype or email that they
don't care about.

 Hi Lauren,

 I think you have a good idea and I would like to make a donation but, 
 I can't bring myself to doing so until you have something more concrete.
 Right now you seem to have good plans but they are only plans. Most of 
 what you suggest already exists  .  I have no way of knowing if this 
 will ever go to market.

 Hi all.

 I'm involved in this cool project. Read more here:

 Be My Eyes is a non-profit initiative that aims to equip blind with a 
 pair of eyes which fits into your pocket. This can be done by the 
 blind at any time, on his/her smart phone: you start an application, 
 and can through this be put in direct video connection with a 
 voluntary sighted person. The sighted volunteer helps you through the 
 camera in the blind person's smart phone to see (video transmitted to 
 the helpers smart phone) what the blind person is pointing at with the 
 smart phone camera and can solve a given task. The task could, for 
 example. be: Reading the date on a milk carton, see if two socks are 
 alike, read the buttons on the washing machine, etc.
 It
 is the blind who has control over what the volunteer sees, while the 
 volunteer can for example say a little closer or date is on the 
 other side of the milk carton. This way the blind and the sighted 
 volunteer help each other to solve the given task.

 The technical part of the project is, first, to develop an application 
 available for the blind that can connect the users with sighted 
 volunteers
 -
 here is so far developed a prototype. The second part is to develop a 
 system on a server that all Be My Eyes will run on. When you create a 
 user account on the system, you could choose whether you are the 
 visual impaired who needs help, or if you are the sighted person who 
 wants to help. The sighted help to be able both to use the system on 
 an iPhone (or other smart phone platforms), an iPad tablet (or other 
 tablet platforms) with a larger screen so it's easier to see

text adventure games on iphone

2013-04-29 Thread Andrew Head

Hi all,
I've found an app called frotz that allows you to play text adventure games.
I have some games that I used to play when I had a brailleNote. However, Now
that I have a brailleSense, those games won't work and unfortunately the
frotz program for the computer is inaccessible unless I use the jaws cursor.
I was just wondering if I get the frotz app, does anyone know how I would
get these games onto my iphone? The games are in the z5, z8, and dat
formats.Hopefully they would work on the phone.  
Any advice is much appreciated. 
Hope you're all having a great day,
Andrew.

Hello Andrew,
I travel from time to time too and I also take my iPhone with me when I do.
I can assure you that you will not have any trouble.  Only remember to turn
your airoplane mode on, on your iPhone five, so that it won't connect to
three G of American or British carriers and get charged an arm and a leg by
your Australian carrier after your return as roaming charges.  You only need
to turn your wifi on after that and look for open wi fi connections, or
connect to your hotel or friends networks.

Hi all,

I am from Australia and 

Later this year, I'm planning to travel to England and America. I am using
an iphone 5 running the latest version of IOS, and was just wondering about
any useful info I should know about taking and using the phone overseas. 

I plan to take my old iphone 4 over and put a sim card in that to use for
phone calls etc, I prefer to keep the Australian sim right where it is in
the iphone 5, so it isn't lost and thought a spare old phone would be put to
good use. 

I'm assuming if I take the iphone 5, I can connect it to a wireless network
and continue to use all my other apps, minus the phone of course? Since my
original sim is staying in I won't be able to use it over 3 G just wireless?

Thanks for any info you can give,

Hope you all have a blessed day,

Andrew

Hello Andrew,
Yes exactly.  you can turn airoplane mode on and still connect to wireless. 
Only remember to go to settings, and manually switch the wifi back on.  When
you turn the airoplane mode on, it automatically turns off wireless with it,
that is why you have to go back to settings and turn the wi fi back on.

is there a way to delete all text messages?

2013-04-25 Thread Andrew Head

Hi all,

Just wondering, I have a large back log of text messages on my phone, and am
wanting to delete them. Just wondering if there is a way to delete all
messages at once, or do I have to manually select each message before
deleting?

If the answer is no, then Apple should really put this feature in and would
question why it isn't in already. 

Kind regards,

most of them tell me the speech recognition  is  so improved to the Iphone 
4s.  is this right?  is the Iphone 5  better to use  than the others?  My 
friend uses  the Samsung galaxy note 2  I must say it is a nice  phone but 
the  keypad  is crap.  Is there  many games  for the totally blind to play 
on the IPhone 5?  So many things I want to know before I think of getting 
one of these.  I must be convinced this is the right phone for me.

iPhone iOS6 Updates: Getting Started with the iPhone 
for Blind Users
by Anna Dresner
In braille, eBraille, Word, ASCII text, ePub, or 
DAISY: $9

Get the full iPhone tutorial - or get both this book 
and the full tutorial together and save!

The iPhone 5 - which was introduced last September - 
is faster than previous iPhones, can take advantage of the faster 4G 
network, and has a better camera.

Rather than putting out a whole new tutorial, this 
book is a supplement that you can use alongside our Getting Started with the 
iPhone and iOS5 for Blind Users. The same section titles are used in both 
this supplement and the full tutorial, so you can find them easily.

If you already know the basics of using the iPhone, 
you can use this update to review what's new. This book includes updated 
versions of the braille display and Bluetooth commands and revised versions 
of all the appendices. An additional appendix that lists all the apps 
referred to in this book, along with links you can use to find them in the 
iTunes store. These materials should allow the book to do double duty as an 
iPhone reference card.

Re: question Iphone 5

Hi Sieghard,   Wow  many thanks for all the  info.   I wonder  if you know 
if the voice on the Iphone 5  is louder  than  what was on the iphone 4.  I 
ask  this as I  ware two  hearing aids  and find the voice  hard to listen 
to some times.   You've  surely  given  me  plenty to think about.


Thanks once again   Regards Andy   S

Subject: RE: question Iphone 5

Hi Andy,

I won't list all the advantages of an iPhone over any other phone if you
happen to be a blind user, but here are the main points:

Blind or not blind, the iPhone is the most popular single phone, it is one
of the fastest, best designed and, in the case of the iPhone 5, I think it
is also the thinnest smartphone currently available. It also has one of the
best cameras, not necessarily in Megapixels, but it has been proven many
times that pictures taken with an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 are better than
those taken with another phone which has a camera with a higher Megapixel
sensor. This is because just the sensor isn't responsible, it also the
quality of the lens and the way the image is processed.

For a visually impaired person, the iPhone has by far the best
accessibility. Android accessibility is definitely better now than it was a
year or 2 ago, but while iPhone accessibility is being improved as well, the
iPhone was just as accessible 3 years ago already as it is now. Because
Apple has such control over both hardware, the iOS platform and the app
store, everything just works. Of course there are bugs as well, but Apple's
commitment to accessibility is probably stronger than Google's and while
Google seems to improve accessibility as well, the many differences in the
hardware from so many manufacturers and the stuff they do with Android to
customize it to their liking simply makes it more difficult.

In total there are many more games on the iOS side than the Android side.
iDevices are the biggest mobile gaming platform and you can listen to last
week's Today in iOS Podcast which you can find at www.TodayInIOS.com if
you want to hear more on that topic.

The iPhone may not have as many cool and cutting edge features as Android
nowadays since Apple takes a more conservative approach, but keep in mind
that it was because of Apple's integration of SIRI into iOS and the iPhone
4S why nowadays Android and other platforms are also doing this. When SIRI
first came out some tech pundits laughed it off as a gimmick just as many
thought the iPhone itself when it was first released in 2007 was a temporary
phenomena and fad which people would soon put aside and forget about.
Android may have happened anyways, but to a large degree Android came about
because of the iPhone and because of the vision Steve Jobbs had.

Whether you buy an iPhone or not is entirely up to you, it's not up to me or
anybody else to convince you beyond pointing out the facts, but if you do
your homework you will probably come to the conclusion that unless you
reject the concept of the iPhone and maybe Apple as a whole for whatever
reason, the iPhone is the best choice if a blind person wants the most
accessible smartphone. If you don't mind fiddling around and going through a
lot of frustration then an Android phone maybe right for you, but if you
don't like Apple's control you can always Jailbreak the iPhone which gives
you a lot more flexibility as to what you can do with it. Beyond that I
would encourage you to search the list archives if you have questions first
as after years of list traffic just about everything you can think of has
been discussed on here and, as I already said, the Today in iOS podcast is
one of the best sources for information about the iPhone and the iOS
platform.

Sieghard

Mark, may I get back to you on Skype if I have questions?

 I think I answered this for someone else on another list, but if not, I

Kobo app on the iPad

2013-03-05 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Listers,

I've downloaded the Kobo app on my iPad 2. I can't seem to be able to do 
anything with it. The buttons that voiceover reports as I flick through them 
don't work. I can't activate them. 

I know from Esther's post on macvisionaries list that Kobo works better on the 
iPhone and iPod touch. But has anyone got any recommendations for an app for 
the iPad that I could use to read Kobo books and similarly drm protected 
books?There is an application recommended on one of the websites offering drm 
protected books called My Books but has anyone used it and is it accessible?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Greek language in language rotor on iOS 6.1

2013-02-03 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Listers,

In iOS 6.0, one could not use the Greek voice as it would only spell the Greek 
text rather than read it as normal. In iOS 6.1, this behaviour appeared to be 
the same, much to my dispair. However, I've played with it a little more and I 
discover that if I make the Greek voice my default voice in settings / 
international, then I can read Greek text as one should. The problem is 
however, that having made Greek the default voice, all the icons change to the 
Greek localisation as well. The Greek voice can read English but with a degree 
of distortion which makes it very tiresome. Therefore, in english applications, 
Greek voice will read the English icons and text but in a ditroted somewhat 
distorted way. It is a solution for me but not very satisfactory.

I don't understand why it is that when I choose Greek using the rotor with 
English being the default, then the Greek doesn't work properly, but when I 
make it the default voice, then it does.

Has anyone else noticed this with other languages? It seems to me that it is a 
bug since no other voice behaves in this fashion. Even when you go to the 
languages options and flick through the list of all available languages, all 
languages are spoken by their full name, i.e., Francé, but when you land on 
Greek it says, epsilon, lambda lambda iota, nika, rather then ellinika which is 
a full name. So it spells part of the name and part pronounces it.

Feel free to write of list, if you wish with your experiences, comments. It's 
frustrating to be able to choose French let's say when I need it, or Russian, 
and read a piece of text easily, and not to be able to switch through language 
rotor option into Greek to let's say browse a website in Greek or read an 
ej-mail from a Greek friend.

Best wishes

Andrew

Choosing Samantha as default voice

2013-01-08 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Listers,

Someone on the list has helpfully suggested that if I'd like to have Samantha 
as my default voice instead of Daniel, I could do so by changing my regional 
settings to the USA.

I've tried to accomplish this but I'm not quite sure how to do this. Could 
someone please give me step by step instructions? I feel such a fool. I've 
changed my region to USA but Daniel is still my default voice. How do I switch 
to Samantha? In the language rotor I can choose English and it is a female 
voice but it does not sound like Samantha used to sound. It's rather strident 
unless she has changed her personality. How do people download Samantha if they 
do at all? 

I look forward to any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Re: arabic language

2012-12-30 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Mary,

To chime in on your comments on an accessible Arabic/English dictionary, I use 
translate.google.com page where you can set your language to whatever you wish. 
I use it primarily for Greek but with my macbook air - I haven't tried it with 
an iOs device. But if you want to use it with your iMac, you can easily do so. 
I set hotspots for the text box where I type my query words and another as 
closely as I can to the result box, and it works quite well. You need to 
familiarise your self a little with the page but it is not terribly cluttered. 
There may well be other web based dictionaries for Arabic which I am not aware 
of. There certainly is a good one for Greek, and it is an invaluable resource 
for me.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes

 Hi Aman,
 
 I am interested in your comment about writing in Arabic. I know the Arabic 
 braille alphabet, not grade II, just the letter for letter substitution. So 
 if I have a braille display connected via bluetooth to an iPhone and I set 
 input for grade I braille, I assume I'd also have to set the input 
 method/keyboard to Arabic, and then I could type in Arabic braille on my 
 braille display keyboard and have the proper text entered? I can't conceive 
 of trying to actually type Arabic litters either on screen or with a bt

 Arabic to English dictionary and would need to be able to search for words in

and boringly said before - has broken the Greek language on iOs devices for me 
so that I can no longer use Greek on any of the iOs devices with iOs 6 
operating system.

More to the point, the impressive thing on translate.google.com website is that 
it recognises in most situations the language which you enter your query in. So 
if I type in a Greek word or phrase, or sentence, it will automatically 
recognise the Greek language. Now I have to bear in mind the fact here that the 
Greek script is different and probably readily recognisable as Greek, so should 
Russian. I'm not sure whether Arabic script would be so recognised. Secondly, 
the software on the website is very intuitive, so if I make a mistake in my 
spelling - even of some greater proportion - Google will suggest a correction. 
This is very useful to me because it helps me learn the spelling of Greek words 
more efficiently. It is like having a teacher tell you, this is not right, this 
is the right way of spelling the word. It is not always correct, certainly when 
grammar is concerned, but as long as you know the grammar, you can work out a 
lot of what it gives you as a translation.

With best wishes

 Hi Andrew,
 
 Thanks for that hint. I'm still running Snow Leopard on my 3-year-old Mac 
 mini so I don't have the voice for Arabic here as is present with Lion and 
 Mountain Lion. I also think there were improvements to braille support for 
 languages other than English introduced after Snow Leopard. So this google 
 translate idea may have to wait until I get a newer Mac. Out of curiosity, 
 when entering Arabic words into google translate, do you have to enter the 
 root or do you enter the word you want directly? For example, I use to have 
 access to a dictionary where I worked, and to do searches you entered the 
 (generally 3-letter) root, e.g. ktb even if the word you wanted was a noun 
 based on that root, e.g. kitab. Hope that made sense.

Re: automatic language switching in ios is brilliant

I, too, would like to get rid of Daniel and have Samantha back. But as i live

Re: reading in braille on the iPhone in different languages

2012-12-27 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Hello Mary,

I have just switched to the Russian braille table on my mac computer which has 
Voiceover. The Braille table seems to work fine. I've checked this because some 
Braille tables do not work under Mountain Lion like for instance the Polish 
Braille table. But Russian seems fine. So it should be the same in iOs devices. 
The Greek voice on iOs 6 has been broken though and so has the Dutch.

Best wishes

Re: My Thoughts on ITunes 11

2012-12-06 Thread Andrew Lamanche

How can you get the old pre-iTunes 11 sidebar and column browser, Mary? The new 
iTunes 11 has not won me over yet. In fact, at present I am struggling and 
continue to be worried that things are not necessarily improving but require 
more and more interactions. I used to love just typing a few letters of my

Thanks for any tips,

Re: Ultralingua dictionaries at discounted prices. Fwd: Cyber Monday at Ultralingua: Everything is on Sale!

2012-11-25 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Yes, Anna, I have used them for quite a while. They are aware of accessibility 
issues and open to comments. and feedback. I've mostly used the mac application 
rather than iOS version but I know from some users on the macvisionary list who 
have used the iOS version. I've found the mac version very helpful, and it has 
a number of language modules. On the mac side, when you open Ultralingua, you 
are presented with a familiar layout of toolbar, then table of various choices 
of functions starting with dictionary (where you choose the dictionary you wish 
to search, ie. in my case, English Collins dictionary, French Dictionary, 
English-French, French-English, etc, then swap dictionaries button which is 
originally unlabelled but I have labelled it myself, through which you can 
reverse the dictionaries from say English to French to French to English, then 
another unlabelled button (I can't remember what it was now but have never 
needed to use it), and then the html section with which you interact to read 
your results. You need to navigate with vo+arrow keys to read the results. 
Press command+f to jump to the search box which is located in the toolbar. The 
table of various functions of which I spoke above, is a bit buggy under Lion 
but I can see that under the go menu item in the menu bar, there is a number 
of useful shortcut keys to change the function, i.e. command+1 for 
dictionaries, command+2 for conjugations, command=3 numbers, command=4 for 
flash cards (never used this function. There are also other shortcut keys if 
one wishes to explore the menu bar.

Hopes this helps somewhat.

Best wishes

Re: adding audio books

Registering devices with Apple support website

2012-11-13 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Listers,

First, I'd like to thank Esther for explaining the importance of registering 
whatever Apple devices one has with the support site in the profile section.

However, I have a problem. I have an Apple ID which I use for iCloud and 
another ID which I use for iTunes store. It would now appear that my mac 
computer is registered to my iCloud ID and my iPad and iPod nano to the iTunes 
store ID. 

My question is, could I somehow combine the two registration/profiles together? 
Can one at this late stage combine the two IDs into one without jeopardising 
one's purchase history and messing one's iCloud account? Maybe it's best to 
leave things as they are. I don't remember actually registering my i.s devices 
under my iTunes store ID. It must have been done automatically because I 
purchase through the iTunes store and sink my i.s devices with iTunes.

Any thoughts would be welcome

Andrew

Re: Registering devices with Apple support website

2012-11-13 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Kawal,

No, I did not take out Apple care for any of my i.s devices. They must have 
automatically been registered in my profile associated with the iTunes store 
credentials. 

I've been researching this subject since I asked the question - a neurotic 
thing to do - and i am beginning to understand that there is no way out. I'm 
stuck with two IDs - one for iCloud and one for iTunes. My i/os devices must 
have associated automatically with my iTunes store ID as soon as I started 
sinking them and configuring them in iTunes. 

Maybe the whole thing doesn't matter. I just have to remember which device is 
registered via which ID. Hm! Not very clever but that's how it seems to be.

 Hello Andrew.
 
 When you bought your IOS devices, did you enroll for the Apple Care?  If so, 
 then the devices would have been registered automatically without you 
 connecting your phone or whatever to Itunes.  When you register your product 
 it doesn't matter what ID you use as the phone or IOS device is tied to a 
 serial number rather than your Icloud ID or store ID.
 
 If I'm wrong, please correct anyone.

Thank you for the post.

 Hi All,
 
 Two weeks ago Jane asked on list for an RTF Dropbox editor, and I
 found one that looked promising called Textilus, which is for iPad
 only.  Well, this $4.99 app is free for a 24-hour period:
 • Textilus - Word Processor (RTF Writer) by knowtilus (normally $4.99
 - iPad only)
 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textilus-word-processor-rtf/id537818639?mt=8
 
 This is not perfect, but it's the most promising RTF editing app I've
 found for use with VoiceOver.   You'll find there is a boink sound
 as you enter text - this seems common to a few other such apps for RTF
 I've tried, including some that immediately crash if VoiceOver is on.
 Scott Howell has been in touch with the developer, who is interested
 in improving the experience for VO users.
 
 Please refer to my archived post about this app:
 • Re: RTF Dropbox editor
 http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone%40googlegroups.com/msg20310.html
 
 Also, I'll paste in the AppAdvice article about Textilus that appeared
 around the time of Jane's query.  Textilus went on sale for $0.99 for
 a few days around then, and I picked it up.

 RTF Word Processing App Textilus Writes Up New Features And
 Improvements
 
 Original Post from appadvice.com   by Aldrin Calimlim on 25-October,
 2012
 
 This post was originally in appadvice.com, and was promoted to the
 AppFavour’s Blog because it provides great value and interest to our
 community. The article copyright is entirely belongs to the Aldrin
 Calimlim.
 
 
 Textilus, an emerging word processing app for iOS, has received
 another feature-packed update.
 Textilus is an iPad-only word processor designed for the editing and
 importing of documents in Rich Text Format or RTF.
 In fact, the app used to go by the name RichText Edit. But perhaps
 realizing how generic, although appropriate, the name was, app
 developer Knowtilus decided to change it to the more brand-specific
 Textilus.
 Well, a good app by any other name would perform as well. And Textilus
 aka RichText Edit is one such app.
 Thanks to the updates it has received since its launch last July,
 Textilus continues its growth as a notable word processing app.
 The app’s latest update, for instance, is typical in that it brings a
 considerable number of new features:
 User defined paragraph line spacing. Double spacing included Copy and
 paste portions of a document without losing text formatting, even
 between different documents Sync automatically with Scrivener projects
 via Dropbox/Draft sharing folder TextExpander Touch support Quick
 document picker. Browse your files in a traditional tree-like folders
 and files window Set the writing direction in paragraphs with 2 new
 options in the Align menu: “Right to left” and “Left to Right” New
 “Dropbox Sync Now” option to sync the documents immediately
 Also including a variety of improvements, the newly updated Textilus
 is currently available in the App Store for only $0.99.

 HTH Cheers,

The iPhone 4s I'm talking about is advertised on Amazon and is factory unlocked 
and costs around £380 for 64 GB version. It sounds like a good opportunity.

Raul,

Thanks to you all; for the response. I've just posted some figures, I should 
have done it to start with, good point, alex. If anybody felt they could 
comment further, please do. The price of £380 is in pounds as I live in the UK. 
Electronics appear to be much more expensive this side of the pond. smile

Warning about Sharon bluetooth foldable keyboard

Dear Listers,

I've just bought a foldable bluetooth keyboard, and it is a disaster. It's 
called in the Amazon shop:
Sharon iPad 4 Retina iPad 3 Mini iPhone 5 4  Older Bluetooth Folding Keyboard 
(English… 

It sounded very promising. It folds up small so it is very portable. But I find 
it difficult to use with my iPad and voiceover, certain keystrokes don't seem 
to work. The pairing process was fine and easy but the left shift key sticks 
and feels as if it might come away pretty soon. It is rather flimsy. I shall be 
returning it.

My next dilemma is what to buy. Does anyone use one of those silicon folding 
keyboards? Or any other suggestions please? How portable is Apple's bluetooth 
keyboard?

Thanks in anticipation.

Andrew

 What has worked for me is, using your example, type the word baseball

 immediate.  If you type the word baseball and wait for it to appear, then 
 you type the question mark symbol, it will be translated into his which is

Bluetooth/wireless keyboards recommendations again

2012-10-29 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Listers,

At the risk of being boring, I'd like your suggestions for a folding - if 
possible - wireless / bluetooth keyboard for iPad and iPhone. The verbatim 
wireless keyboard discussed here before, is at present not available in the uK. 
I was wondering what other keyboards that fold small and are fairly portable 
the UK iPad Iphone users have experienced, and how these keyboards perform with 
Voiceover.

Feel free to write off list, and thank you in advance for any tips.

Best wishes

Re: an informal review of the Motorola S11-HD Bluetooth headphones

2012-10-28 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Raul,

Thanks for this description. They really sound like a very good product. I've 
just bought plantronics m50 which are still in the post. May be I will get 
another pair like yours too if the Plantronics m50 are not satisfactory. 
On 28 Oct 2012, at 03:49, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote:

 Hey all. After many hours of doing research on the net, reading reviews on 
 Amazon, and reading messages on this list, I ended up purchasing something 
 totally different. In short, I was out with my family because my wife and 
 daughter were shopping for a dress because she's going to her first school 
 dance next week. *my life is over*. Oh, I'm getting off track... Seriously, 
 so we went to Best Buy because I wanted to see if they have any of the 
 headphones I've been reading about, but also because I'm a geek and just like 
 going to Best Buy even though I normally don't buy from there.
 
 In short, after asking about various headsets and all that, the rep told me 
 about the new ones they just got in from Motorola. The S11-HD. I had read on 
 Amazon the reviews of the S8 and S10 and they seemed ok, but hadn't jumped 
 out at me. However upon doing a quick web check while I was there, I saw they 
 were supposed to retail for $129. Best buy had them for $59. I figured that 
 since I'd be paying around $40 or $50 from Amazon to get the others I was 
 looking for, I might as well snag myself one of these since they seemed to be 
 half off. Later the rep confirmed that they had the wrong price, but since 
 she said $59, and since that's what was shown on the display, she got the 
 manager to override the price and sold it to me for that plus tax. So, $64 
 later I walked out with my new Bluetooth headphones. These are awesome. For 
 starters they come with extra ear buds so in case the default attached ones 
 are not to your ear's liking, you can switch them out. The specs claim a 
 range of up to 150 feet. Although I'm a bit skeptical of that, I can confirm 
 that walking around my house while the iPhone was charging in my bedroom 
 didn't cause the music to drop out, turn into static or anything like that. 
 The phone call I was on also stayed clear. I was able to cause interference 
 by closing the doors to my bedroom and walking into the garage across the 
 house and also closing the door behind me. Still though, that is awesome! 
 Pairing them was a snap, when you power them on, a pleasant female voice 
 walks you through the steps and the pairing mode was automagically enabled. 
 So all I did was go into the iPhone's Bluetooth device section and they were 
 there. I connected them and wasn't asked for a pin, but the nice girl inside 
 the headphones informed me that if a pin was asked of me, the code is . 
 Once paired, she informed me that the pairing was successful and then told me 
 how much talk time I had. The iPhone shows the battery status of the 
 headphones as well, so that's a neat little feature. While the girls went for 
 more shopping and later when we ate dinner at the mall, visited more clothing 
 stores, and played at the ATT store, I wore them and didn't feel 
 uncomfortable. I can push the ear bud tips all the way in my ear to seal off 
 outside noise, or I can leave them just outside my ear and that way I can 
 hear people and things around me. Even if the phone locked and went to sleep, 
 I was still able to hear the occasional sounds my phone makes if I get a push 
 notification. I was able to easily receive and make calls, and I was easily 
 able to start and stop the music. There is more I can write about this new 
 purchase, but these are the basics.
 
 Cheers.

Re: RTF DropBox editor

2012-10-28 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Esther,

Thank you so much for this review of Textilus. It sounds like an attractive 
application, better than Pages.

I shall give it a go.

Best wishes

 Hi Jane and Others,
 
 Jane asked:
 Is ther a good ERTF file editor for the DropBox to install on an iPod?
 What is it, if there is sucha thing?
 
 I've just come across an app that might be usable for editing Dropbox
 RTF files for the iPad, but there's no version for the iPhone or iPod
 Touch.  It's called Textilus Word Processor and the developer is
 knowtilus. Here's the URL at the iTunes app store:
 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textilus-word-processor/id537818639?mt=8
 
 I found this because it just went on sale today for $0.99, and I
 haven't had a chance to play around with this much yet. The way this
 works when you create or edit a document is that there's an extended
 keyboard with an extra row of buttons above the top row of letters.
 The buttons on the top left of the keyboard are for alignment, bold,
 italic, underline, special characters, other commands, and tabs (which
 weirdly gets announced as capital A).  Then at the top center is a
 Magic Cursor button that you have to use the double tap and hold
 gesture to bring up, which does actions like select all or move to the
 start or end of the document. On the top right are the buttons for
 font type and size.
 
 The top row buttons let you handle formatting and special characters.
 For example, Other Commands lets you select options like title,
 subtitle, heading 1, heading 2, ordered list, or unordered list in
 addition to subscripting, superscripting, and the default body style.
 Special Chars lets you insert web links, date  time, as well as
 several classes of special symbols, such as bullets, currency, arrows,
 punctuation, math symbols, etc. These lists are pretty extensive, and
 there are more symbols than VoiceOver on the iOS device will read,
 especially in categories like pictographs, arrow variations, or some
 of the math symbols, but most special character options are announced.
 There's also a recently used category of special characters.
 
 One feature I wasn't able to change with VoiceOver was the line
 spacing. Double tapping the Helvetica button brings up a Text
 Style pop up menu, but the size and line spacing of the font don't
 get announced here. Font size is announced and can get changed with
 buttons to the right, either by choosing common font sizes, or by
 increasing or decreasing the current font size with buttons.
 
 Dropbox linking can be set up using the App menu toolbar button on
 the My Documents titlebar. There's a document that appears in your
 list of documents named How it works? when you link with Dropbox.
 It explains that it creates an Apps/Textilus folder under your
 Dropbox, and that only documents placed ther will sync and show up in
 the Textilus app. You can place RTF, .TXT, .DOC, or .DOCX documents in
 this folder. Empty folders in this location will be removed from the
 document picker and unlinked.
 
 Textilus also supports syncing with Scrivener, which is a Mac writing
 application that also now has a Windows version. (The Mac version of
 Scrivener is very accessible, but I don't know about the Windows
 version. However, there are free trial downloads of both from the
 Literature and Latte developer's site.) Maybe some Windows iPad users
 can try this app out and report back.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

problem quitting applications with home button

Dear Listers,

I seem to have a problem trying to quit certain applications by pressing the 
home button. Similarly, I can't seem to be able at times to call up app 
switcher by pressing the home button twice quickly. I am talking here about the 
iPad 2. The trouble is that this behaviour is erratic. Sometimes the home 
button works immediately, other times I have to press it several times. 
Sometimes I can't quit an application and I can only do so by performing the 
five finger pinch that takes me to the screens with my applications listed. 

Has anyone else had this experience? 

Andrew

Re: question about the lg hbs730 bluetooth headset.

A slightly side question. When you use a blutooth earphones, do you have to
pair them every time you want to use them? What happens if you don't want to
use the earphones but listen to the internal speaker? How does the speaker know
that you don't want to use the earphones? Is it just by turning the earphones
off? Can one turn them off? I know it all sounds rather simple but I've never
had a pair of bluetooth earphones, and I'm researching them with a view to
getting a pair.

Thanks for any tips.

Raul,

Please see my other email. I can't speak for the 730's but I have had
a 700 for nearly a year, as has my fiance, and a bunch of friends.
None of us has has a problem with ours (OK one of my fiance's earbuds
stopped working, but he could have done that himself, as he never
seems to keep the buds in the magnetic holders). Other than that the
rest of ours seem to work well. I've never had people tell me they
can't hear me and I can usually hear them.

Now, I will say the bluetooth picks up noise around the user -- for
example if my fiance is on the bus, I can here others like they are
right on top of him! He's expressed the same about those around me.

LIke you I'd really want to order the 730's but am a bit leary about
the reviews.

Re: problem quitting applications with home button

Katey,

THe home button ineffectiveness I have noticed more since upgrading to i.os. 
I'm glad I'm not the only one since I was beginning to worry that I had a 
faulty iPad 2 and would have to take it for repairs which is usually costly. 
Have you by any chance reported it to Apple? 

Also, do you know that you can reset Voiceover by pressing the lock button 5 
times quickly? That might save you going into settings.

The 5 finger pinch has to be enabled in settings/accessibility/voiceover. There 
is also a 4 finger swipe there which you may find useful on the iPad.

Best wishes

 I've noticed this on my iPad 3Gen since upgrading to iOS 6.  I was
 thinking it was a problem with my home button!  But maybe it's a VO
 bug.  I usually go to settings and turn off  back on VO (I have some
 usable vision).  I was also thinking it may be a comflict of
 something, as since iOS 6 came out I have VO on and Zoom on as well.
 Prior to iOS 6 we couldn't do that.  I don't have Zoom on my iPhone as
 the level of magnification I need is too big to be effective on the
 smaller screen, in fact I consider myself a VO user as my primary
 choice of using either of my iDevices.
 
 So, I'd be interested to see if anyone else has experienced this.
 Also, I'll have to check out the five finger pinch out  I don't use
 any of the iPad custom gestures as of yet.
