Word count on the Mac

I am trying to do a word count in pages on the Mac.
I know how to reveal the word count command shift W. But I can’t see the word 
count. I can’t get it to speak.
My assistant tells me it’s right above my text, but I can’t seem to get there.

This works for one speaker but you can’t pair two of them. Believe me I have tried this! And I like to listen to my music and stereo that’s why I bought two expensive speakers.

Run the Alexa AppFind the Alexa app on your mobile device, as we did on the iPad Air device, as shown in the next picture.Tap the Alexa app icon to run it.

Earlier this year, Apple launched Apple Music Classical as a standalone music app that comes included in the price of Apple Music. It was an unusual move for a streaming platform perhaps more associated with Drake and Taylor Swift. And
 building it was a major undertaking, given the vast complexity of classical music libraries and the difficulties in navigating them.

Apple Music Classical came about because Apple realised that classical artists and fans were really not being served well by streaming. As part of its mission to use its engineering knowhow to fix this, it bought Primephonic, widely recognised
 as the classical streaming platform that succeeded where others had failed. It took more than a year of work before Apple was happy with what it had created and its release to a highly positive response.
 
Now, classical music lovers don’t have to clamber past Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift to get to Bach and Rachmaninoff.
 
Classical music provides challenges other kinds of music don’t, or at least not to the same extent. Instead of playing an album, artist or track, classical lovers have favourite composers, orchestras, soloists and so on. The search parameters
 are mind-boggling. Apple is well-equipped, with more classical music than anywhere else on the planet, and Primephonic’s brilliant data metrics were a starting point from which Apple’s engineers and expertise transformed the experience. Want to listen to Vivaldi’s

How Apple gave people access to a library full of classical music – and tried to make it accessible
There are 1,243 versions of Vivaldi’s Spring from the Four Seasons alone. Helping people through that was key to building the new Apple Music Classical app, senior staff at the venture tell David Phelan

Earlier this year, Apple launched Apple Music Classical as a standalone music app that comes included in the price of Apple Music. It was an unusual move for a streaming platform perhaps more associated with Drake and Taylor Swift. And
 building it was a major undertaking, given the vast complexity of classical music libraries and the difficulties in navigating them.
 
Apple Music Classical continues to grow. In its latest move, Apple announced a new partnership between Apple and the London Philharmonic Orchestra with the release of a live recording of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust coming on 3 November.
 This is just one of the partners Apple Music Classical has.
 
From day one, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was a partner. The content from that orchestra is extensive, with recordings dating back to 1929. Some of it is unique to Apple and this exclusive content alone has already been streamed millions
 of times.
 
Recently, senior staffers at the app talked exclusively to The Independent.
 
Apple Music Classical came about because Apple realised that classical artists and fans were really not being served well by streaming. As part of its mission to use its engineering knowhow to fix this, it bought Primephonic, widely recognised
 as the classical streaming platform that succeeded where others had failed. It took more than a year of work before Apple was happy with what it had created and its release to a highly positive response.
 
Now, classical music lovers don’t have to clamber past Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift to get to Bach and Rachmaninoff.
 
Classical music provides challenges other kinds of music don’t, or at least not to the same extent. Instead of playing an album, artist or track, classical lovers have favourite composers, orchestras, soloists and so on. The search parameters
 are mind-boggling. Apple is well-equipped, with more classical music than anywhere else on the planet, and Primephonic’s brilliant data metrics were a starting point from which Apple’s engineers and expertise transformed the experience. Want to listen to Vivaldi’s

2023-10-30 Thread Judy Wilkinson
When classic came out, I am very excited Lee subscribe to Apple Music. I have found out that I cannot use it, however. I have smart speakers when I use Spotify a button pops up next to the play button that says it hooked to other speakers or something like that, and I’m able to to hook it to my living room speakers, but there is no such feature in Apple Music so the only way I can play, the classical music or any other Apple Music is by using Bluetooth speakers.Obviously, I don’t want to buy expensive. Bluetooth speakers just to play my Apple Music. And I don’t always want to use your phones.I can make it play through my speakers if I know the exact title of the selection or the album that I want to play but I don’t always want to do that. Sometimes I want to just go into my library and pick something and have a play as I say I can do this easily with Spotify and my smart speakers, but not at all with the Apple music I have had to reluctantly cancel my Apple Music subscription unless anyone knows exactly how I can make my smart speakers work that is.Judy Wilkinson On Oct 30, 2023, at 9:10 AM, Richard Turner  wrote:Greetings,The word “Accessible” in the title of this article refers to general accessibility to the world, not about disability. I found this article very informative for any classical music fan.  I stripped out the ads and have the link to the original story at the end. How Apple gave people access to a library full of classical music – and tried to make it accessibleThere are 1,243 versions of Vivaldi’s Spring from the Four Seasons alone.

Re: Question about Instant Pot and iPhone

2021-05-22 Thread Judy Wilkinson
 Like everyone else I merrily updated my iPhone without even thinking of my 
precious Bluetooth instant pot! I have made note of all the buttons but the 
real problem is setting the timer which defaults to 30 minutes and it’s very 
difficult to reset and you have no confirmation ultimately that you did it 
right.

Re: Sleep Number Bed App

2021-05-07 Thread Judy Wilkinson
My husband and I are totally blind and we just decided last week against asleep 
bed precisely because we had questions about the remote. The company is all for 
customer service but not for making things accessible. We could not determine 
whether the app is accessible but the remote is basically unusable since there 
are many keys that have rotors and you can forget where you are in the rotor 
and then you have to choose up and down and enter we found the remote very 
poor. We could not get our clerk in the store to get his iPhone hooked to one 
of the beds there to make sure we could use the iPhone app but that probably 
might work but for six to $10,000 you might want to consider other companies 
that make pet pedestal style beds with more accessible remotes. For instance 
mattress firm has pedestal beds and their remote it’s self has many fewer 
buttons and is much more logical
