Re: apple IDs and authorizing computer
You probably should establish a separate account on the OS of the computer you are using. At 04:52 AM 4/11/2014, you wrote: Hi all. When I authorize a computer with my apple id, later I need that someone else connect their iPad or iPhone to this computer, so I go to deauthorize this computer, and iTunes sign out of my apple account, so the other person has to authorize this computer with their apple id? In both cases the libraries are empty, it is just an exercise. I need to sign in many people, so each person is going to use their apple account, and create their own configuration using their apple id. Please don't worry about libraries, I have this part under control. My problem is just when I authorize a computer and someone else needs to use their apple id. iTunes doesn't want to deauthorize my computer and later authorize the same computer for some body else.

Re: iTunes Non-Accessibility - Was: Is there an app that copies mp3 files from dropbox to the iPhone
It works very well with Window-eyes. At 03:02 AM 4/12/2014, you wrote: iTunes is much more accessible with more recent versions of Jaws. Also there are now scripts that make iTunes even more accessible though I don't think they are written for versions as old as Jaws 10. On 4/11/14, Christopher J Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com wrote: Is the problem with total deterministic use an accessibility issue or just an issue with the application? I wouldn't judge Apple too harshly based on how much effort they put into making an application running on a competitors platform accessible. They do this to sell more iPhones and not to help more people buy PC's. I know many don't agree with me, but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple stops supporting iTunes on the PC altogether. You don't need iTunes nearly as much as you used to to use your iPhone. Furthermore, you could always just buy a Mac, and I think people will be making their laptop/desktop choices more on how they interact with their other devices than the other way around. On 4/11/2014 7:56 AM, Bill Gallik wrote: I have to agree with Simon on this; I find iTunes terribly inaccessible in the matter of total deterministic use. That is, I cannot fully control what iTunes is doing to my iPhone 5. As a result, I end up with several instances of contact individual records appearing on my iPhone and similar such annoyances. But then, of course, I am running an outdated version of JAWS (10.???) and am using Windows Vista as my OS. I would hope that is the root cause of the iTunes inaccessibility because I find Apple to be very responsive to the special needs of the VIP community.

Personally I would advise your friend to deal with iTunes if she wants to get the most out of her iPhone or other iDevice. I think there are still people who have this perceived fear of iTunes and that it's not very accessible whereas in fact it is very accessible and just a matter of learning.

On the way back, I tried the route to home option, which opened a drop down menu with various options including one that is poorly labeled. My wife told me it said multi modal, which voice over didn't understand, so I relabeled this button multi mode.

RE: More good news about the Netatmo Weather Station
Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated and water may precipitate out. Where it precipitates is dependent on the surfaces involved. At 10:44 AM 6/28/2013, you wrote: Hi Paul, Dew point indicates the point at which the relative humidity that is in the air turns from vapour into water hence forms dew. If the dew point is 10 degrees Celsius and the forecast calls for a high temperature that day of 25 degrees Celsius and a low temperature of 12 degrees Celsius then this simply means that it will not get cold enough at night for dew to form. Dew point is used in the calculation of the Heat Index or, as we call it in Canada, the “Humidex”. However, in the calculation of the indix which in turn results in coming up with the “Felt Like Temperature”, a set dew point of 14 degrees Celsius or 57 degrees Fahrenheit is used in the States and 7 Celsius or 45 Fahrenheit in Canada. Either way, the Netatmo weather station does display “Felt-Like” temperature and while it might be nice to know the dew point, in itself the dew point is not a true indicator since it has to be combined with other factors such as relative humidity to come up with Felt Like temperature. Here is a link to a Wikipedia article which explains it better than I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_indexhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index I will ask Netatmo whether they have plans to provide dew point, but I am not sure how difficult this is ad what sort of sensor is needed. One always has to keep in mind that even though the Netatmo Weather Station costs $180 and one can buy simple digital wireless stations with LCD readouts for half that or less, the quality of the measurements are as good as what you pay. Highly precise commercial weather stations costs thousands of Dollars so one can’t expect quite the same from one that is $180. But, as I said, I’ll ask. Wind, by the way, is also a big factor in Felt Like temperature. At this point there is no Wind Sensor on the Netatmo Weather Station, but just as the rain sensor is in the works, I believe a Wind Sensor or anemometer, to use the correct term, is in the plan.

First of all, for new members and those who haven’t heard about it, the Netatmo Weather Station consists of 2 modules, an indoor and an outdoor module. The indoor module has a micro USB connection and uses a wall adapter for power and it also has 4 Triple A batteries for backup power. It is a round tube about 6 inches long and maybe 2 inches thick, there is no display at all and it only has one touch sensitive button at the top which one can push to force an update or you can push and hold it to initiate pairing mode. The indoor module connects to your WiFi and via your WiFi to the internet so that you can access it from anywhere in the world where you have a data connection. It also has Bluetooth which until recently was not used, but now the station uses Bluetooth for the initial setup/connection to your WiFi. This process was inaccessible so far, but I am happy to report that it is now fully accessible via the free Netatmo app which you also use once the station is paired to check the weather data provided by the station. The outdoor module uses 900 Mhz and is pre-paired with the indoor module and it also uses 4 Triple A batteries. Once you put batteries in it, it will automatically pair itself with the indoor module and nothing else has to be done. It is also a tube of the exact same thickness, but it’s only maybe 4 inches long. Both modules are made from aluminum and have that same quality feel as an Apple product such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard. The weather station provides the following information (you can of course set if you want metric or imperial units): Indoor Measurements: Current Temperature Minimum and maximum temperatures in the last 24-hour period Humidity CO2 level in parts per million Air quality indicator – indicates if air is good or if CO2 is
RE: More good news about the Netatmo Weather Station
Dew point is a calculated number. It should not be hard for the app to do this. Temperature and humidity are what is needed as inputs. At 12:25 PM 6/28/2013, you wrote: Hi again, Paul, As usual, Netatmo sent me a prompt reply, here is what they wrote (I sent another reply and asked if they are planning to specifically list the actual dew point measurement and will post when I receive the answer): Hi Sieghard, Thank you very much for your support. Dew point is indeed used for our calculation of felt like temperature when done using Humidex index (see below) We use measurements from the station (temperature, humidity) to calculate felt like temperature. The only data coming from other sources is wind speed, which is currently taken from a premium weather internet service (Meteogroup), but will also be measured from the weather station when we release our anemometer module. For further details, you can refer to our help section. I hereby include a selection: “Feels like” temperature This is computed data, obtained by adding the combined effect of moisture and wind over human perception of heat and cold. To achieve reliable data, the station uses a combination of two usual formulae: wind-chill which represents the effect of wind on cold temperatures and Humidex/Heat Index which represents the effect of moisture on high temperatures. Humidex vs. Heat index setting The formula used to represent the effect of moisture on high feels like temperature is either Humidex or Heat index, depending on your geographical region. Default settings use Heat index in the United States, and Humidex in Canada and Europe. You can manually change the formula used in the http://my.netatmo.com/settings#my_unitsthe unit-setting menu.

Dew point is used in the calculation of the Heat Index or, as we call it in Canada, the “Humidex”. However, in the calculation of the indix which in turn results in coming up with the “Felt Like Temperature”, a set dew point of 14 degrees Celsius or 57 degrees Fahrenheit is used in the States and 7 Celsius or 45 Fahrenheit in Canada. Either way, the Netatmo weather station does display “Felt-Like” temperature and while it might be nice to know the dew point, in itself the dew point is not a true indicator since it has to be combined with other factors such as relative humidity to come up with Felt Like temperature. Here is a link to a Wikipedia article which explains it better than I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_indexhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index I will ask Netatmo whether they have plans to provide dew point, but I am not sure how difficult this is ad what sort of sensor is needed. One always has to keep in mind that even though the Netatmo Weather Station costs $180 and one can buy simple digital wireless stations with LCD readouts for half that or less, the quality of the measurements are as good as what you pay. Highly precise commercial weather stations costs thousands of Dollars so one can’t expect quite the same from one that is $180. But, as I said, I’ll ask. Wind, by the way, is also a big factor in Felt Like temperature. At this point there is no Wind Sensor on the Netatmo Weather Station, but just as the rain sensor is in the works, I believe a Wind Sensor or anemometer, to use the correct term, is in the plan.

Re: Restoring an iPhone -- can it be done over wifi?
Several ideas present. First, maybe it is backed up on iCloud anyway. Check. Try another USB port on that computer which appears to have issues. You might try copying over the backup files manually to a functioning computer although I'm not 100% sure that would work. This points up why a little preparation goes a long long way.

Hey All, Every now and then I’ll be doing something as a blind person that is either really time consuming, in comparison to the time it would take for a sighted person to do, or requires either some elaborate work-around, or finding a sighted person to help me. In those situations I often think to myself, “There should be an app that does this.” So, somewhat in the spirit of the conversation that was started around using voice recognition features in new ways, here’s a little list of apps that I think would be cool to have. Some of these are doable, and some, are at least a long way off, but this list is more about dreaming up possibilities then about practicality. I’m hoping my list might spark some other folks ideas about apps or other functionality they would like as a blind user to have on their phone. So often, sighted folks have an idea about what they think would be helpful for blind people to have; I think it would be great if we generated the ideas and put them out there. I’m sure it might happen, but I’m not putting this little list out there for zealous nit-picking: “That’s not possible because,” or “that’s ridiculous because,” etc. And I’m also not looking for other ways to accomplish the same tasks. I’m just saying, “Wouldn’t it be cool if I could use my phone to do … “ Ok, that’s my preamble. Here’s my starter list, add your own. 1. Text Id. The idea is for an app that would quickly scan an area and pinpoint whether and where there was text, and then read it. This would be useful, for instance, in finding a address on a building, or a sign behind glass, etc. 2. Am I straight. This wouldn’t be an app for determining one’s sexual orientation, but would be an easy to use leveler. I know there are already a couple of audio levelers out there, and I haven’t checked them recently but I’ve found them a bit tedious to use. Wouldn’t it be nice to hold up your phone and have it tell you “A little higher on the left.” “Ooops, that’s too much.” I realize that this would require having some way to determine that the phone itself was more or less level but … 3. “Does this go with that?” or “Can I go out wearing this?” As color identifiers get better it would be great to have an app that could tell you whether two different colors complimented each other. So you could know if that pink shirt went with those russet pants. 4.“Where’s the pooh,” I read recently that there is now a new external ad on device for Android that offers other kinds of sensory gauges. Wouldn’t it be cool to use something like this to zero in on organic matter. Sometimes, in the night, I’ll hear my cat go through his impressive audio wind up before throwing up a hairball; I’ll get a general idea of where it is, but it would be nice to have something like a blacklight to tell me where exactly the mess is. I don’t have a guide dog or a dog of any kind, so I don’t know how easy or onerous it is to find your dog’s deposits, but wouldn’t it be cool to have a spotter. 5.“O Spot,” similar to the above, wouldn’t it be nice to have an app to identify whether you had a spot on that shirt. It could be used both for checking your clothes before wearing them out in public, but also for finding spots to apply spot remover.

Re: Advice on updating iPad 2 OS from 4.3 to 6.1.3
Just do it. You need IOS 5.0 or later for wireless backup. That iPad is seriously out of date and should be updated.

With the iPad 2 connected to the PC, we click on Download and Update. When we do that we get a message that says you may lose all information on the device. This is scary. I've tried the wireless route, but there's nothing in setting for a software update, so I'm guessing the older version doesn't have the wireless update option. Can we go ahead with the download and update from the PC, even though we get the scary message? I guess we can just restore from our backup earlier today if we run into problems, but I'd feel better getting advice from here first. Thanks.

Re: few interesting things in IOS 7
Anything the carriers hate I am in favor of. An iPhone 4 and iPad 2 and mini will update to IOS 7 so you'd have a very old device indeed that can't upgrade.

I am looking forward to the Facetime audio feature as well but do wonder if we all have to use iOS 7 in order to take advantage of this or will it be backwards compatible so say you make a Facetime audio call to somebody who is still on iOS 6 would it perhaps disable the video at theirs as well as my end who knows. I hope so as not everybody can be expected to upgrade to iOS 7. Just my £0.02 worth anyway.

I listened to the Keynote today. I was interrupted during some of the iOS 7 portion when they were talking about the 10 new features. However, nothing about accessibility was mentioned. In prior Keynote addresses, they always mentioned accessibility changes, improvements, etc. Siri is getting a new voice, but that has nothing to do with accessibility. In fact, one thing they mentioned that does not sound very good from an accessibility stand point is the automatic updating of apps. If they don't allow us to disable that feature, there will be no way to avoid updating an app that has broken accessibility. I know there are developers on this list and I know you are all under NDAs, but it will be good to know if accessibility is being improved rather than ignored.

It looks like an iPhone 5 , with the same 4 inch, 1136 x 640 pixel display. But the 5th-generation iPod touch doesn't make phone calls, it's even thinner than the new iPhone, and it has a last-generation processor. that's because the new iPod touch has a faster processor, bigger screen, and a better camera, among other improvements. The 5th-gen iPod touch measures 6.1mm (0.24 inches) thick and weighs 88 grams (3.1 ounces). It's the thinnest and lightest iPod touch to date, even though it has the largest screen yet. It's powered by an Apple A5 processor - much like the iPad 2 or the iPhone 4. That's a step up from the 4th generation iPod touch, which has an A4 chip, but it falls short of the new A6 processor in the iPhone 5. Apple says that chip offers twice the graphics and CPU performance of an A5. Apple says the iPod touch is the world's most popular media player, and also portable gaming device - and the new dual core chip should help boost gaming performance. The new iPod touch has a 5MP camera, LED flash and autofocus - features which weren't available on the fixed-focus camera on the last iPod touch. Apple is also included a panorama mode and support for 1080p HD video recording with the rear camera. Like the iPhone 5, there's a new FaceTime HD front-facing camera which can shoot 720p video, and the company has added an optional wrist strap which comes in handy if you plan to use the iPod touch as a point-and-shoot camera, or hand it to your kid for mobile gaming. Apple is adding Bluetooth 4.0 to the iPod touch, along with dual-channel 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi. The iPod touch also now gets AirPlay mirroring support, letting you pair the device with an Apple TV to stream games, videos, or other content to a TV.

Re: Word Recognition Using High-quality and Compact Voices
Yes. But they are named by Nuance. I have all the English Nuance voices on my PC using Window-eyes.

Re: Word Recognition Using High-quality and Compact Voices
Well, you have a history of using awful speech. Some of thos old models were truly bad and Eloquence always sounded muddy to me. Crank it up to a decent speed and it seemed to become one giant syllable. At 01:07 PM 6/1/2013, you wrote: Nuance also has blind employees. I'm blind, and I prefer the HQ voices. I find them a bit crisper and clearer. I'm not saying people don't have a legitimate complaint about the HQ voices, but I think a lot of it is what you get used to. For example, I just switched from Eloquence to eSpeak on my PC's. It took a while, but I'm now comfortable with eSpeak. I remember the transition over the years from the Echo PC to the Accent SA to Keynote Gold to the DECTalk Express and then into the software synthesizers like Eloquence and now eSpeak.

Re: a bit confused re: I pod touch on apple store
Fifth gen just got a 16gb version, minus the back camera, for $229. Don't get the 4th gen, it's slow! At 09:07 PM 5/30/2013, you wrote: Hi Keith and others, It may make it easier for you to decide between the 4th and 5th generation iPod Touch models by hearing about some of the things you can do with the 5th generation iPod Touch that you can't do with the 4th generation model. The 5th generation iPod Touch has a 5 megapixel camera in contrast to the 0.7 megapixel of the 4th generation model. Popular apps like TapTapSee that rely on the camera quality to identify objects will work dramatically better with the 5th generation camera. OCR applications require at least a 3 megapixel camera to work -- and that's even the lower limit recommended for sighted individuals using the camera. You can use an OCR app like Prizmo or TextGrabber with an external stand like the StandScan Pro with the 5th generation iPod Touch. The camera on the 4th generation iPod Touch fails for this use by several factors. The new music apps are using a standard called Audiobus that allows the inputs and outputs of Audiobus compatible music apps to be shared -- you can either use this to record/produce more than one track in an app like GarageBand, or to use the outputs of an Audiobus compatible music app as the input to another Audiobus compatible app. This process cannot work on the fourth generation iPod, which does not have enough processing power. Although techinically it could limp through some Audiobus capable processing, Apple specifically disabled this capability on GarageBand for the 4th generation iPod Touch as being too far below the hardware requirements. (There's a forum post about this on AppleVis). The 5th generation iPod Touch uses a dual core processor and is Audiobus capable. Hope this gives you a flavor of some of the real limitations you'll encounter in the user experience between the fourth and fifth generation iPod Touch.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App
I have nothing but bad memories of books on records. Not only was there a lot of flipping and switching but the worst part was all the damage done to the platter by previous users. Pops, click and worst of all track jumping. Cassettes were much better. Besides all that, they had the advantage of size and that your place was held if you paused one title and started another. Sound quality was good enough for voice recordings. Digital has been a vast leap forward. I love my Streams and we'll see what develops with the apps for the two smartphone OSes. At 12:36 PM 5/25/2013, you wrote: Chuck, the sad thing is, I can remember when Talking books came on a 12 inch record and they played at 33 and a third RPMs and was ticked off when they went to 10 inch records at 16 RPMs and then all that new-fangled cassettes thing on 2 tracks. That wasn't good enough though for them, They then had to go from 2 track to 4 tracks and then they went a step farther and cut playback speed in half. They said quality wouldn't suffer but they were wrong. It did. The best thing to happen to talking books was they went digital. Sound quality went up greatly if you were listening to a new recording but then trouble struck again with budget cuts. Far fewer new books were being recorded and they started emptying out the tape libraries and digitizing those along with some restorazations of older books on record. Still, the best sounding recordings come from new books being recording for the first time. - Original Message - From: mailto:chuckd...@icloud.comChuck Dean To: mailto:viphone@googlegroups.comviphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 9:19 AM Subject: Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App Hi Joe, While I am looking forward to the IOS app, there is something about using the talking book machine supplied by NLS that is comforting.

I have DirecTv and for the most part I like it. However, it is not the most economical way to go. For that I suggest you look elsewhere although some hard bargaining does get results. Still, you can easily record shows using your iPhone to command it. Plus DirectVR, which is a third party app, allows you to use your phone as a remote control. The remote control portion of the iPad app, DirecTv's own, is not accessible although the rest is. I've complained as it used to be; but so far, nothing.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App
No, as IOS has fixed limits on playback speed and that is the one thing I worry about with regard to the new app. It has double speed but it's not as Good as speed 4 on the Stream which is double.

RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App
3x is actually 2x which the Downcast developer explains. At 05:03 PM 5/25/2013, you wrote: Because no app so far offers anything greater than 3x playback speed and when I wrote the Downcast dev about offering faster rates of speed, he wrote back explaining while it was something he'd like to consider, the 3x playback rate is a limit on Apple's part. That if they removed this limitation, then he would consider including faster playback in future updates. Also, when I wrote Apple along the same lines, They gave me the boiler plate answer of thanking me for my input and that my inquiry would be forwarded to the proper department, etc... Now, if the NLS app will in fact be able to play their files at a faster rate of speed than what any other app can currently do, I'd be all over that like white on rice and upgrade to a larger capacity phone like nobody's business when my upgrade comes around in a couple of months. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 1:23 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App Hi, How would you know since there is no NLS app yet?

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App
Well, I'm not a coder so it won't help directly but it does sound wonderful to me. This gives me new hope that the NLS app will be able to do what the Stream does with regard to increased speeds without choppyness or odd cadences. At 08:50 PM 5/25/2013, you wrote: HI Kevin, Actually it sounded very good, considering that the pitch was also sped up. It was incredibly smooth. I haven't yet played with shifting the pitch back down to compensate for the speed increase but will do this next. Also, there are libraries that developers can import into their iOS apps which take care of time-stretching for you so a dev will not need to do this themselves. (as I'm doing now) :) So really this comes down to which way the developer decides to process their audio. If the Downcast developer is curious, I did this using Apple's native 3D audio library called OpenAL. this is an open-source audio library which Apple has chosen to use as its default 3D audio support for gaming and such on Mac and iOS. The reason that people might think there is a limit is that if you use the conventional means of playing iPod audio or even some of the convenience classes offered by Apple which most developers might look to first, then pitch / speed may be supported up to 2x. Using something like openAL though, that doesn't apply. Hope this helps! Smiles, Cara :) On May 25, 2013, at 5:34 PM, Kevin Barry krba...@gmail.com wrote: That's good to know. How did it sound?

She also gave several alternative forms of calculation. My wife and I were both totally amazed and laughing our heads off. Try it yourself, you'll probably find her results amusing too.

After having installed it, I tried looking through the menus for a link to download the full version but didn't find one and there is no reference to a lite version installed on my iPod Touch. I figure this is a good deal at $4 or whatever, but if I can get away with a buck, then why not? The installed file was some 26 megabytes in size.

truly irritating publisher restriction on Kindle

New accessibility features of the Kindle app enable blind and visually impaired customers to: -Read aloud over 1.5 million titles available in the Kindle Store using Apple's VoiceOver technology. Over 300,000 of these books are exclusive to the Kindle Store. Over 700,000 books are less than $4.99; over a million are less than $9.99. -Seamlessly navigate within their library or within a book, with consistent title, menu and button names; navigate to a specific page within a book and sort books in the library by author or title. -Read character-by-character, word-by-word, line-by-line, or continuously, as well as move forward or backward in the text. -Search for a book within their library or search within their book and navigate to specific text. -Add and delete notes, bookmarks, and highlights. -Use customer-favorite features like X-Ray, End Actions and sharing on Facebook and Twitter. -Look up words in the dictionary and Wikipedia. -Customize the reading experience including changing the font, text size, background color, margin, and brightness. -Use iOS accessibility features like Zoom, Assistive Touch, and Stereo to Mono, as well as peripheral braille displays. Other new features include: -Easily rate and review books by accessing `Before you go...' directly from The `Go to' menu -Enhancements to `Before you go...' including the ability to download a free sample and email yourself a reminder about recommended books. -Additional Font Selection for Japan - Hiragino Mincho ProN (Serif) These new accessibility features are available first on the Kindle app for iOS and accessibility features will be added to other Kindle apps in the future.

Open voice dream on your phone. Double tap the add button in the lower left of the screen. You will be presented with a list of places to add from that includes bookshare. If you double tap bookshare you should find yourself in the bookshare screen listing categories including popular, latest, book categories etc. There is also a search field at the top. You should be able to select any of these categories or perform a search, then from the book title screen you should find a download button that will allow you to download the book directly into voicedream.

Re: Is Siri Available as a TTS Voice?
Siri is Samantha which is a Nuance vocalizer voice. I can use it with Window-eyes although I generally choose not to do so.

RE: adding more memmory to the IPhone?
I believe there is no fifth gen iPod with 16gb. You're looking at the 4th gen model which Apple still sells. At 05:50 AM 3/10/2013, you wrote: Hi, You should know because of what you pay for it. Here in North America an iPod Touch Fifth Gen is $199 for a 16 Gig, $299 for a 32 Gig and $399 for a 64 Gig model. In any case, you can always go to Settings, General and About and find out the capacity of your device as it is displayed there. In any case, if I buy a device like an iPod, iPad or iPhone, knowing what I buy would be one of my priorities and I would assume most people would find out and plan ahead based on how much storage they require. My music, for example, takes up about 27 Gig and at this point I still prefer to have all my music on the device rather than use iCloud which may not be accessible to me if I am travelling in another country. I also know I need at least 2 or 3 Gigs for my apps and I want to have lots of space for downloading Audible books. Lastly I would need space for pictures if I am travelling and want somebody to take pictures for me (or take some myself). If I add all that up I know I need at least 35 or 40 Gig which means for me a 32 Gig model would not allow me to put all my music on it and still have enough space. A 64 Gig gives me more than I need, but for a $100 price difference it is worth it for me to have that extra space.

Re: Upgraded to 4s
If it's on a sticker and it's 8 digits it is WPS which is a major security vulnerability as it is easily hacked. Disable it from within your router and just use a proper WPA2 key. Of course some routers won't let you turn it off and others, Linksys, will tell you it's off when it is not. At 05:01 PM 12/31/2012, you wrote: Sieghard is referring to the user ID and password you use to log onto your router, and he's correct, if you haven't changed this then you can look up the defaults on line or n your router's documentation. Obviously, not changing this is a security concern, but someone would have to already be on your network to even try to log in in the first place. I think you're referring to the WPA key used to get on to the wireless network, where you are correct, this is unique to the router and can usually be found on a sticker on the router itself.

Depending on which router they have, you can see the WiFi password and change it if you know how to log on to the router, but that of course requires a password as well. If your parents never changed it, then you can find out what the default router password is by doing a Google search for your brand/model of router, often a particular brand uses the same default password. For example, Netgear routers usually use admin as the user name and password as the password. Of course this is supposed to be changed by the user, but you'd be surprised how many users never do change this. If you can't log on to the router you could do a factory reset of the router (there is usually a Pinhole in the back and you poke a paper clip or something like that into it). Of course this would wipe out any custom settings. You will also need the routers Ip address, once again, this is brand specific. Many use 192.168.0.1, some use 192.168.1.1 (Netgear) and there maybe others. OK, now as far as your apps are concerned, you can keep your phones in sync if you use the same Apple Id on both phones and if you go into Settings and Store and tell both phones to automatically sync apps then if you delete an app on one phone it will also delete from the other phone, if you buy an app on one phone it will also appear on the other phone. Of course if you want to have separate apps, music and so on on each phone you should not enable this. If your iPhone 4 is still in good condition you could ask your provider to give you unlock instructions which they should do if the phone is no longer under contract. Then you can unlock it which would allow you to easily sell it. You can google iPhone 4 resale values or something like to get an idea what they are going for.

RE: Battery for 4S
BlueTooth 4.0, which the 4s has, uses very little power. And, if you want your phone to use hardly any battery; just turn it off and leave it in a drawer. Last for weeks that way.

I have neither a GPS checks option in privacy settings nor do I have an option to adjust how often apps check for updates in Notifications. I agree that WiFi uses a fair amount of battery power, in my opinion a lot more than Bluetooth. However, keep in mind that turning on Location Services for certain apps does not impact the battery life unless these apps make use of it. I personally didn't buy a smartphone just so I can turn it into a dum phone or at least a not so smart phone. I use apps like Sendero, Navigon, Around Me etc. and these apps require locations services to work properly, but if I don't use the app it's not going to use it so I rather leave it on for those apps for when I do want to use them and when I'm done with them I take them out of the app switcher.
