Re: Which Stores Accept Apple Pay? The Always Up-to-Date List (iOS & iPhone), Gadget Hacks

[SSEric]

I did find an app in the Apple store with local businesses excepting Apple Pay. 
However, it was not complete and to add a business you know excepts Apple Pay 
you had to physically be there. I do not recall the name of the app, but if I 
can find it anyone can!

I don't want to gloat, but the financial system in the US seems to be really

you to simply tap your credit card or, of course, use Apple Pay. There is 
usually a $100 limit for tap transactions in order to prevent fraud, for higher 
transactions you have to enter your PIN. Apple Pay arrived here I think 2 years 
after it was introduced, but at that point it was almost everywhere within a 
couple of months since most merchant already had contactless terminals.
I have no idea how wide spread it is in Europe where I know at least in Germany 
the use of credit cards is much less common.

Which Stores Accept Apple Pay? The Always Up-to-Date List

Apple Pay has been available to use in stores and select apps and websites ever 
since its first appearance in iOS 8.1. Now that iOS 11 is out, there are 
currently ten different iPhone models that support Apple Pay functionality 
without the use of an Apple Watch, and the list of partnered stores that accept 
Apple Pay has only grown. Here's our always-up-to-date list to keep you in the 
know.

Firstly, since iPhone 6 and later iPhone models have NFC-technology built in, 
pretty much any shop that has a functioning contactless reader (and employees 
who know how it works) will accept Apple Pay, just like they will Google Wallet 
and NFC-chipped cards. Just look for the Apple Pay icon or the universal 
contactless smart card reader sign on card readers and point-of-sale (POS) 
terminals in stores.

If you want to see exactly which businesses accept Apple Pay right now, here's 
a full list for physical locations, as well as places that do not accept Apple 
Pay or have been known to disable it entirely. There are also a bunch of iOS 
apps that will accept Apple Pay, so scroll down for that list, too. And if you 
need help setting up and using it, check out the bottom of this guide for some 
quick walkthroughs.
1.Stores That Accept Apple Pay Right Now
2.Stores That Will Accept Apple Pay Soon
3.Stores That Won't Accept Apple Pay Right Now (Or Ever)
4.Apps & Websites That Accept Apple Pay Right Now

Stores That Accept Apple Pay Right Now
Here's the official list of Apple Pay partners accepting contactless payments 
in stores. While it does not include every shop, restaurant, or service, you 
can most definitely be sure that it'll work in these places, as employees have 
most likely been thoroughly trained to prepare for the questions shoppers will 
have.
Anyone with a "(confirmed)" next to their name are retailers who aren't on 
Apple's official list, but who have officially stated they accept Apple Pay.

Re: Getting iPhone battery replaced

[SSEric]

This may not be the most elegant solution, but how about a battery case. You 
can find quite a number of them for under $25. It might work for you as 
temporary solution until you get your battery and then could be useful for 
times when you will need more battery

I subsequently received emails from Apple apprising me that they received

I got the battery replaced on my iPhone 6 last week.  The process was 
wonderful.  I had the phone with the new battery in my hands less than 48 
hours after I took it to the UPS store.  The nearest Apple store is 
approximately 85 miles from my residence, so taking it to the Apple store 
wasn't feasible.  The thing I also want to mention is that the shipping 
charge wound up being only $3.90 each way.  I paid it up front when I paid 
for the battery replacement.

Hi Kathy,

I've heard that the wait time is long. I would go into Background App 
Refresh settings and turn off any apps that you don't want to work in the 
background. Also, go to location Services and turn off apps that don't need 
to know your location. Make sure the ones that do only use it when you're 
using the app, except weather apps. Check Battery settings to see if any 
apps are using a lot of battery, and if so, remove them from the app 
switcher when you're done using them. You could also use low power mode at 
least some of the time.

I hope these suggestions help.

Best,
Anna

This might help. In my experience, attempting to use Uber email support never 
resulted in a reply. For me, it was getting Uber to accept a fully valid debit 
card. I finally reverted to using PayPal and paying the small additional fee 
for doing so.

There's one option you might try. Get a new, free email address from Gmail or 
another free provider. Start all over and see if you can register that way. If 
you have reasons to keep using the Uber app, this might get you where you need 
to be. I understand just switching to Lyft may not be a solution.

I've never extracted myself from the kind of situation you're describing 
without creating a new email address. Well, actually, I did, only once, but it 
took sighted help with another app that was presenting a message that wasn't 
displayed with VoiceOver. 

Good luck.

Subject: Trouble With Uber App

Hi all,
About a week ago I replaced my iPhone 7 with an identical phone because the 
battery had swollen and caused the screen to raise up and separate from the 
phone’s body. Apple kindly replaced the phone at no charge. We backed up the 
old phone to iCloud, then after getting the new phone up and running, we 
restored from the iCloud backup. So far, most everything’s working fine, but my 
Uber app’s a mess. 
When I launched Uber two days ago, it behaved as if I was a brand-new user. It 
asked for my mobile phone number, had me punch in a 4-digit access code, then 
enter a password, which I had long forgotten since I first started using Uber 
nearly seven years ago. Naturally I clicked the “forgot password” link, then I 
was prompted for my e-mail address. The app than said that my e-mail address 
was not associated with my mobile number. Now, mind you, I’ve had the same 
e-mail address for the last ten years and I’m sure I used that address when I 
signed up for Uber. So I tried a new approach, trying to sign in through 
Facebook and Uber apparently recognized me then or at least appeared to, and I 
was able to do a password reset, but every time I try to enter the new password 
the app tells me it’s incorrect when I know darn good and well I’ve entered it 
correctly. I’ve now done two password resets and I’m still having trouble. I’ve 
restarted the phone a couple of times, uninstalled and reinstalled the app 
twice and still no joy. Of course there’s no phone support number, which annoys 
me no end. I’m about to just say screw it and switch over to using Lyft. This 
thing’s got me flummoxed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: Zolo liberty+ Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds, maybe they give Apple Airpods a run for their money

[SSEric]

I am sorry I do not have a direct link, but Gear Patrol.com has a review of 
these buds today, Monday, December 11, along with an upcoming pair of liberty 
plus buds. Those will be $150, but Anker discounts everything. The biggest 
difference I think would be helpful is they will have Bluetooth 5.0. As I 
mentioned, these do have some lag, greater than I am used to in other Bluetooth 
devices. The longer I have played with them, the more annoying that lag has 
become. Of course, it is only a real problem when writing. By the way, you can 
regularly find the Zolo Liberty for $80 now.

Re: Zolo liberty+ Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds, maybe they give Apple Airpods a run for their money

[SSEric]

I did order those last Monday and received them Wednesday. They are pretty much 
as described. They do have the silicone tip that goes into the ear canal. Each 
earbud itself is probably about the size of a gumball with the tip sticking out 
of it. The earbud is covered with a very thin silicone sleeve that I believe 
keeps it more secure than AirPods with their slick surface. They have three 
other sets of covers with a wing device that is supposed to keep the earbud 
even more secure. However, getting that sleeve on and off the buds was near 
impossible, and frankly I didn’t think I needed the extra security enough to 
bother any longer. Unlike with the AirPod covers you can purchase that have to 
be removed to charge, these would fit in the charging case. The outside of each 
bud is a button. Tapping it will start/stop music and answer or end calls. 
Double tapping will activate Siri. Pressing on the right will skip forward a 
track and holding and pressing on the left earbud will skip back. It does seem 
you can only hear phone calls in the right earbud. The sound is quite 
comparable to apples earPods/AirPods. There may be a bit more bass to the 
anker. Reportedly, they have 3 1/2 hours of battery life and an additional 30 
hours recharging in the case? The case itself is like a miniature eyeglasses 
case. It is about 2 inches front to back, 4 inches side to side and an inch and 
a half top to bottom. Just guessing… The case will go into a front pocket, but 
it is going to bulge. Also, they could have made it easier to flip the lid up. 
There is just a narrow gauge for a thumbnail to raise the lid. The buds fit 
securely and magnetically into pockets inside the case. They could have 
designed it a little easier to take the buds out. I found the same with 
AirPods. The case does recharge with a mini USB cable. I found pairing to 
Bluetooth to be very easy. When taking the bugs out of the case, they turn on 
and connect to one another rather quickly. I use quite a number of Bluetooth 
headphones and speakers, and I have never complain much about lag. I do feel 
there is a little more lag in these than normal. I can’t imagine it would be 
enough to disturb watching and listening to a movie, though. Bluetooth range is 
as good as my better Bluetooth devices. I have not experienced any loss of 
signal or breaking up. If you do receive these, note they are different than 
most of your buds in that they do not hang down over your earlobe. The stem 
goes into your ear canal at the bottom of the bud, which then fills the 
entireity of your outerr ear. It does protrude a bit, but it really isn’t that 
bad. Also, they don’t block out sound anymore then does any other buds with the 
stem going into your ear canal. They are very comfortable and fit very secure. 
I would rate these higher than AirPods, even before considering the $50 price

sure that I recommend these truly wireless earbuds, however. After having two 
pair now, I think I am just as happy with ones connected by cable. I don’t fear 
one dropping out and being lost. I certainly felt that way about the AirPods. 
These I have only had a few days and used very little so far, so not enough 
time to really say for sure.

Sieghard, thank you so much! If I ever knew all those settings were there, I 
forgot about them.

Wow! I have only recently started using Reminders as intended, but I have found 
no accessibility issues using iOS 11. I will be anxious to hear what problems 
you are having.
You might want to take a look at Alarmed. You can have Siri set reminders in 
the Reminders app and when you open Alarmed they will be transferred to that 
app.

My only problem with the Reminders app is I cannot get location-based reminders 
to work at all. I have asked everywhere I know with various suggestions, but 
still no go.

Hello Everyone,

I am a huge fan of the iOS 10.x Reminders app.  I don't know how I would get 
along without it, these days.  I use it for everything including grocery lists, 
location-based notification, etc.

I was just attempting to create and manage reminders on a friend's iPhone 7 
Plus with VoiceOver enabled.  

Wow!  What a disappointment.  With VoiceOver enabled, I was unable to perform 
many of the basic functions integral to the Reminders app.  I kept having to 
disable VoiceOver in order to access various lists and, even to edit the 
details of individual reminders.  

I do not recall seeing any on-list threads discussing all of the bugs in the 
iOS 11 Reminders app.  Were there any?

Has anyone else experienced this?  

I can only hope that the developers have addressed these issues in iOS 11.1; 
otherwise, I am staying with iOS 10 until such time as they do.

Mark

Location-Based Reminders

[SSEric]

I have a couple of reminders set when I arrive at locations. I have visited 
both of these several times and have not received an alert. Can someone tell me 
what could be going wrong?

By the way, I also have these same locations set in the Alarmed app. I am not 
getting notices of arrival from that app, either.

So, to make a long story short, I updated to iOS 11 a week or so ago. It was

my Google search results pages started displaying rather oddly--with a link 
that wasn't a heading for every result, with a right-facing arrow next to the 
link. I decided to see if reloading it without content blockers would make a 
difference, but it didn't. So I tried requesting the desktop site, and low and 
behold, it worked beautifully then, with everything displaying as it should, 
with headings and all. Now, my question is, how the heck can I make it default 
to this behavior in future? I don't want to have to keep doing this every time 
in order to have my Google search results display in an actually useable maner. 
Personally, I think the mobile view of Google stinks bigtime!

Re: Just Press Record Query.

[SSEric]

I find that I no longer land on the record button when opening the app or going 
to it from the app switcher. The button is very easy to find, just above the 
physical  home button. But…

Also, it seems they have done away with the daily folders. While not deal 
breakers for me, it does change the experience using this app.

Re: Recommendations for around $100 In-ear Wired Headphones

Check out the Bose MEI-II. (I hope I got that right.) I have had them for many

had. They are around $129 for the ones with the mic and controls.

Re: notifications not speaking on lock screen

[SSEric]

I have an I phone 6S running iOS 11. My notifications setting is set to always, 
and it still is not reading in coming notifications. The interesting thing is, 
if voiceover is speaking or something else is playing, notifications are read 
as they are coming in.

Personally, the last thing I want is to have my notifications read, outloud, 
automatically.  

Currently, on my primary iOS 10.33 6 S Plus, I am notified that I have a 
notification but in order to hear the text of the notification, on the lock 
screen, I must actually touch the display.

Withis new "Show Preview" setting what is the "Always Speak Notifications" used 
for in Voiceover settings? It's been there for many years and while I have it 
on, I did turn it off once and don't recall if it made much of a difference.

I have previews in notifications set to always and they are still not reading. 
I believe it was the default in fact.

Re: notifications not speaking on lock screen

Curious addition to this is, the other day, I was connected to CarPlay via 
cable. Music was playing through my car speakers. A notification came in and 
was read aloud on the iPhone 6s, version 11.

BARD Mobile Sleep Timer

[SSEric]

I have been having trouble getting bard to stop playing at the end of a 
chapter. I read the Help file yesterday and realized I had been setting the 
timer while the book was playing. They said set the timer when the book is 
stopped.

It continues the same behavior. At the end of the chapter the volume drops, but 
the book continues at the next chapter at regular volume.
What am I missing?

All thanks for any answers.

The only part that could be considered as not accessible is at the end when you

Reading Threaded Mail

[SSEric]

I have still not figured this out. When I open a thread I land on message five 
of five. I am on the senders name. Swiping to the right, I get the day it was 
sent, then The target address, then a details button. It takes one more swipe 
right to get to the start of the message.

Is there a way I can jump from the senders name, which is nice to know for each 
message, to the beginning of their text.

All thanks!

Re: Apps to play classic country and bluegrass music

[SSEric]

I suggest Accu radio. It is a free app with many genres and multiple subclasses 
within those. You cannot request a song or artist, but you can tell it not to 
play one again. It is fully accessible. Very, very few commercials and most of 
them are just three second self promotions.

Re: Airpod question.

[SSEric]

I was extremely disappointed in Apple. I went to the store a couple of days 
ago, which isn't real close to me, and asked to see the AirPods. They did not 
have any in stock and didn't even have one for demo. I thought they were much 
better at retail than that.

I guess I will continue to wait and probably wait until the next generation. It 
seems there might be a few bugs left in design in operation.

You can easily see the battery level of the case provided one airpod is in the

doing a three-finger right swipe from the home screen. Next, set your rotor to 
headings and make you way to the batteries widget. Another easier way is to put 
an airpod in the case while the other is in your ear and then close and open 
the case holding it near your iPHONE. A window will pop up displaying the 
status of each airpod as well as the case battery level. The case can't 
transmit anything on its own which is why an airpod has to be inserted to check 
its battery level. You can always get battery info about your airpods using the 
battery widget in the today view while they're being worn.

Alternative Wireless Earbuds

[SSEric]

I'm sorry, but I am getting grief trying to cut and paste information from a
mail message to this message.

These are on Amazon. They note in horrible English that the phone only works
with the right earbud. If anyone has tried these or does it would be great
to know how they are.

Re: Needing adapter for older chargers

[SSEric]

You need a 30 pin to lightning adapter. Apple sells them for $30, but if you 
look for resales in Amazon or eBay, you can find them for 10 or less. I have 
purchased a couple from an Amazon reseller in Utah. Sorry that I don't have the 
name right off hand.

Hello everyone.

Quite a while back, I asked what type of adaptor I needed, in order to make my 
5S work with my older IPod doc.
Well someone told me what exactly I needed. I thought I saved the message. I am 
trying to start to do that, in order to not ask the same questions again.
But unfortunately, I don't seem to have the message.

The other day, while at a store, I learned that they had some chargers. They 
were affordable, and so I bought 3 of them. Unfortunately, they are the type 
for the older IPhones. I certainly would not have purchased them, if I had 
known this. But I couldn't view them, due to the packaging.
I unfortunately can not take them back, even though 2 of them were never 
opened. But they see them as ellectronics.

So I just figured I would make the best of the situation, and use them.
So if someone could please let me know what exact type of adaptor I need, I 
would really appreciate this.
I do wish the charging cords were a bit longer. But my products seem to charge 
more quickly with the shorter charging cords.

By the way, with the adaptor on the cord, will this possibly slow down how fast 
the product can charge?

Thank you,

Terri

Re: Bluetooth Headphone Recommendation

[SSEric]

 To Chip, they do have play pause or answer calls. They also have a base 
control and ability to listen through the microphone to outside sounds. I never 
found any use for that. You cannot tell where the sound comes from, so it 
hardly seems of any value.

 Anna, they do speak the remaining listening time. I believe that is something 
you can turn on or off, so maybe you can have it speak more. Frankly, I never 
read instructions, so can't answer further on that.

Simple Editor for use with Dropbox

[SSEric]

This could be two questions. I have been using a simple text editor called 
Droptext to read and write simple notes in Dropbox. However, recently I am 
getting notice the app has not been updated and could slow down my device. I am 
seeing this also with OOtunes. So, first, I could be looking for a replacement 
editor for use with dropbox text files. Or, I do use notes, but I don't know 
how to retrieve, read, or edit those on my PC. I do use old Windows and older 
JAWs, and don't know when I might upgrade. It is handy to have these notes on 
both the Apple and Windows devices.

All thanks for any suggestions.

Bluetooth Headphone Recommendation

[SSEric]

These have been around four years or so, and I wasn't sure they were being sold 
by anyone any longer. However, I just got notice from Amazon that they are 
selling the Plantronics backbeat 903 stereo bluetooth headphones for $29. They 
are actually selling through a third-party, but it does not state they are used 
or refurbished, etc.

These are not quite earbuds. They have a cable that goes behind your head, and 
the earpiece lays between your ear and your skll with and arm holding the bud 
going around the front of your ear and in. They do not go into the ear canal, 
enabling you to hear outside sound. The buds themselves extend and swivel so 
that you get the best fit. The sound is actually quite good, and the microphone 
isn't bad, either. When they came out, these were priced at the high end, but 
then there weren't too many $300 earbuds. I think they are about as good as it 
gets for "running – around "earbuds. They hang around your neck and easily can 
be slipped into one or both ears. If just for that purpose or for use with 
navigation apps, these are very good.

Re: Recording apps

[SSEric]

I have both, and I think they probably are each good for different things. If I 
am getting someone's contact information, the Just Press Record app is nice 
because of its ability to transcribe. That saves having to memorize information 
as you switch from the recording to your contact list. Just for quick

RE: bluetooth earbud recommendations?

[SSEric]

Sorry for the delay.

Their only noise cancellation is passive. there is a flap of silicone from
the tip of the bud back that is meant to seal the ear canal. It does not
totally block sound. I have meant to try trimming that to hear even more
outside sound. That is my preference

I don't believe there is much if any sound bleed. But, I have not been close
to anyone using them to be certain.

Yes you can use one at a time. Just leave the other hanging around your
neck. They do have the mic and controls on the right cable.

Hi,

How sound proof are these? Do they have a noise canceling quality? Can

RE: Pro Recorder

[SSEric]

I downloaded Just Press Record the other day for $4.95. It is a pretty good
recorder that will also transcribe recordings. It uses the Apple server, so
is good as dictating. I don't know how it would do if you tried to
transcribe a recorded conversation

I love the transcription feature. I most often use Dropvox to quickly get a
phone number, etc. But, getting that into Contacts involves remembering what
you hear while switching from app to app. With this, I can just cut/paste
the information. I have not had a chance to put it to practical use yet, so
have not tested this plan.

Subject: RE: Pro Recorder

Another very simple app is Dropvox. Note it is "Dropvox" with a "v" as in
Victor not "Dropbox" as in the file storage service.
Of course the name is derived from Dropbox since the Dropvox recording app
uploads recordings automatically to a folder you can specify in your Dropbox
account. I assume it does use local temporary storage since the upload
happens when you are back on WiFi but I think there is an option to enable
uploading via cellular data.
There really are only two buttons in Dropvox, the Record button which is
above the home key and all across the bottom part of the phone and a
Settings button at the top right just underneath the battery percentage in
the status bar.
However, if you touch the Record button you have to swipe right to get to
settings, a bit counter-intuitive since if you could see the buttons you
would expect that you have to swipe to the left.
You can record in MP3 format and you can also set up Dropbox to start
recording immediately when you launch the app so you don't even have to
double tap the record button.
Dropvox is, however, not free, it is $2.79 here in Canada so I assume it
would be $1.99 in the States. It also hasn't been updated since October
2014. I am often a bit concerned when apps don't get updated, but this one
is just a really simple recorder which for me does the trick and it seems to
work perfectly fine with iOS 9 and also 10.

Hi Tom,

Doing a Google search for "How can I reset my Uber password" gave me a link to 
the correct page on their website. If you go to heading level one and then 
arrow down it will tell you that in order to recover your password you must 
click the below link, then you enter your email address and an email with reset 
instructions will be sent to you. I assume that will be an email with a link 
which you click and you can then enter a new password. I don't know if your 
email is incorrect throughout the account so that you wouldn't be able to 
receive said email or if it is just that you have to fix your email for receipt 
purposes. I'd try it anyways and see what happens.
I also Googled "How to contact Uber" and found links which included a contact 
form, it asked a few "Yes" or "No" questions as to the nature of your request 
and then had a field to type a message. Here now is the link to the recover 
password page:

https://help.uber.com/h/24a8fa5a-59b0-49b8-81e9-13e6dff81a1b

With respect to finding a phone number, I think many people don't realize that 
if you do a Google search starting with "Phone number for" followed by what you 
are looking for you often find the number displayed at the very top of the 
search results.
I am going to give an example below using Plantronics since I had to contact 
them yesterday. MI bought a Plantronics Voyager Edge bluetooth earpiece in mid 
April and I can only use it for playback, the microphones seem to be not 
working any more. This has been going on for months, but I just haven't taken 
the time to contact them until yesterday. The response by the way was quite 
satisfactory, the girl I spoke with made me do a reset of the headset to test 
it again, when it still didn't work at all she sent me an email with a link to 
initiate a warranty replacement. Anyhow, here is what I typed into Google and 
below is what Google gave me and it was spot on and the direct number for their 
customer sevice:

Phone number for Plantronics customer service
1 (800) 544-4660

Try this: Phone number for Apple Accessibility support
Here it didn't give me the number before all search results, but the third 
search result contained this without even going into it:
Beats support: (800) 442‑4000 (U.S.) or see all worldwide support telephone 
numbers.
If you have a disability, such as a vision, hearing or physical impairment, 
call (877) 204-3930 for direct access to Apple representatives who are trained 
in providing support using accessibility services.

Google searches are very powerful and are getting more so as time goes by. I 
can only encourage anybody who is looking for anything to try it.
Don't hesitate to use very ordinary language like "I want to know the 5 largest 
countries in the world by population" which will not list the countries in the 
search results, but it gives you plenty of articles mostly with the top 10 so 
it definitely finds what you are looking for.

Sieghard.

Hi
I've had no particular issues with booking rides and/or contacting drivers et 
cetera with the most recent Uber updates. However, I haven't been getting Uber 
receipts for quite some time, the reason being that in the app's settings for 
my account, my e-mail address is incorrect. So I edited the e-mail address and 
clicked "Save", and it then asked me for a password, which I've forgotten and 
can't find it written down anywhere. Both in the app and on the Uber web site, 
their password recovery process is unsatisfactory; in both cases I'm asked for 
my mobile number, and there's another text entry field which is unlabeled so I 
don't know what's required. Furthermore, I can't seem to find any support 
number that I can call. Is there such a thing? What's the easiest way to fix my 
e-mail address on record and recover my password or set a new one? I'm puzzled 
by this and just a tad bit annoyed. Thanks in advance.

RE: bluetooth headset question

I am more and more impressed by the Bose Soundsport Bluetooth. They are very
light and fairly small with very good sound. The fit is excellent for
comfort and staying in place. The cable connecting the buds is long enough
that they can hang around your neck and there is a clip in the middle to
secure to the back of your shirt. $150

Hi Denise,

 

Depending on how much in a hurry you are to get one I would probably say
that from what I heard the new Apple Airpods will be if not the best at
least among the best. I think regarding ease of use and connectivity the
Airpods will be the best since Apple has designed them to pair super-easy.
Of course they were supposed to come out a month ago and Apple has delayed
the release, rumours are they could come out right before Christmas, but it
could also easily be January or February.

Re: Bluetooth ear buds without noise cancellation [was "Re: Apple Delays AirPods, October Launch No Longer Happening"]

[SSEric]

I just got the Bose sound sport Bluetooth earbuds last week. Their design has 
only slight passive sound isolation. They use a flange on the bud that expands 
to close off the ear canal. They do not go into the ear canal, though. I have 
wondered if one cut that flange away, circumcise it, as it were, if it would 
remove that bit of isolation. Haven't tried it yet.

Re: Apple Delays AirPods, October Launch No Longer Happening

This week I received a pair of Bose SoundSport earbuds. They are much like most 
earbuds, except they have the Bose StayHere tips that really keep the buds in 
place. They do sound pretty good. The base is good, although the middle and 
highs could be a little flat. I am no audiophile, though. They have one button 
on one bud for power. On the connecting cable, there is the Apple style 
controls. They come with the regular size tips in place. Changing to the small 
size really made a difference in sound and comfort. They are $150. I bought 
them with the idea I could try them until the Apple EarPods were released and 
then decide which I would prefer. I guess that is out. These are probably 
keepers, though I would really have to like the Apple buds to be comfortable 
with them being separate. It seems like an invitation to lose one. I have heard 
them described as much like the current EarPods. Those I do not like, 
particularly for their material. They never feel as though they will stay in my

Re: New earpods?

[SSEric]

The new pods are supposed to come out October 20. I've heard they are basically 
like the old EarPods, but cordless, but with a little extension hanging down 
slightly. I don't know what four; can't picture it.

I would suggest you wait until late October and check out the Bose sound 
sports. I have had the Bose M I E corded earbuds for years and love them. The 
rest just on the ear canal and have a stay here hook that goes into the pocket 
of your ear. Extremely comfortable. Can wear them all day. Of course, these 
Bluetooth will be larger and heavier, but the reviews are very good for comfort 
and fit. They will be $149.

RE: Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.4 Has A Nasty Surprise

I find it especially troublesome when replying to a message from the home
screen where you get the option to close or reply. Then, VO repeats as I
speak and sometimes the repeated words get inserted into my dictation.

I have sometimes come across situations where Voiceover started reading back
what I dictated while I was still speaking. I just ignored it and it never
seems to interfere with the accuracy of my dictation.

Interesting how not a single message about this issue was posted on this
list. Dictation may not work in 9.3.4, but it definitely worked in previous
iOS 9 versions since I used it all the time before installing iOS 10 beta so
I'm not sure why the article says this was broken since the beginning in iOS
9.

I thought many of you would be interested in the following article:

Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.4 Has A Nasty Surprise

The iPhone 7 is
  very close and the all
  singing all dancing iOS 10 will come with it. But
right now most iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users are on iOS 9.3.4 and Apple
  has confirmed to me it contains a
nasty surprise that, for millions, will never be fixed. 

'Great Features' and 'Nasty Surprises' are my regular columns investigating
operating system updates for the best features / biggest problems hidden
behind the headlines.

The problem in iOS 9.3.4 is an incompatibility between VoiceOver and voice
dictation which is hitting disabled and, in particular, blind users hard. In
short: with VoiceOver 
enabled (it describes everything on your screen with a triple press of the
home button) voice dictation is broken producing duplicate and often muddled
words - notably when quick replying to messages in the notification centre.

 iOS 9.3.4. Image credit: Apple

Having been contacted by several blind users about this problem, they told
me the only workaround is to turn off VoiceOver, turn on dictation, speak,
turn off dictation then turn VoiceOver back on. This is about 10 steps and
unfortunately for the blind, turning off VoiceOver is a very risky move yet
voice dictation is essential. 

Perhaps the most interesting aspect to all of this, however, are claims this
feature has been broken since the original launch of iOS 9 in September 2015
and Apple has not attempted to fixed it in any subsequent upgrade. 

In response I contacted Apple and the company confirmed to me the fault does
exist in iOS 9.3.4, though it would not say if the bug could be traced back
further. Apple also had good and bad news for affected users.

 VoiceOver is iOS is crucial for disabled iPhone and iPad users, but it
breaks voice dictation - an equally important feature for them. Image

medical appointments have snuck up on me in the last few weeks. As a
result, I have started setting an alert for the next appointment a
week ahead of time. Also, the 12 hour alert is good for when I have a
blood work appointment where I need to fast. Then I get the alert the
night before which helps a lot. I have had some issues with
Fantastical not keeping some appointments in a recurring series, but
not enough for me to ditch the app and look elsewhere. I plan my life
around my Fantastical calendar. I also love that calendar events and

 There is no reason this shouldn't work.
 It makes no sense.  This is a huge bug that needs to be reported.
 Can anyone try it to see if they are having the same problem?  Where
 it appears to get stuck, it says ship to this address button.  I
 double tap on it, and you can't get any further.  Can you guys run

Just an idea, but it may be easier and less frustrating all around if you were

I have never listened to these programs for myself, so I am not familiar with

Subject: Re: The Top 10 Things I'd like in iOS 10

 

Hi Jonathan,

Great blog post! As an avid user of Braille with IOS, I certainly agree with
your points regarding Braille support. I'd love to have some sort of
pronunciation dictionary.  And amen to the idea of full access to the file
system on any IOS device; although I certainly applaud Apple's efforts to
keep its OS secure, I truly despise having to use iTunes to move stuff to
and from my iPhone and would absolutely rejoice if iTunes died a horrible
and painful DEATH! 

Now, having said all that, I'd like to float a crazy idea to extend keyboard
support. Keep the derisive laughter, groans and flames to a minimum, please.
Like I said, this one may well be considered off the wall. Here goes.
Sighted people have the ability to glance at a screen full of icons, zero in
on the one they want and simply tap it. So, if VO is running and an external
keyboard is in use, why not enable first letter navigation on any home
screen or within a folder much like one has that capability on a PC? Ditto
for long lists of titles or artists in Apple Music, where, incidentally, I
can't find a table index.  Further, if VO is running and an external
keyboard is in use, I'd like to see support for  quick navigation keys in
Safari or any place where I'm viewing HTML content.  Let me type h for
heading, t for table, e for edit box and so on and so on. While the rotor is
certainly handy, having to use it to  first select an element type (link,
heading, form element, et cetera), then use the rotor to find the desired
element is cumbersome. Does that functionality exist with the current
implementation of Quick Nav? If so, great. 

Like someone else mentioned, I'd also like to see a way to search for text
in lengthy articles or documents.

Hi Sean,

I don't totally know how this works, but I don't think what you say is
correct. Pronounciation seems to have changed in iOS 9 for the enhanced US
English voice and I don't think this is entirely controlled by Nuance. If it
were then a user dictionary wouldn't even be possible.

Also,  what are you going to shoot with that 30 Cal Shotgun of yours? Mice?
*smile*
Sorry for the joke, I know people don't necessarily know what 30 Caliber is
and that it has no connection to shotguns which have a "Gauge" designation,
but I like to joke around.
When it comes to hunting or military rifles, 30 Caliber is very common and a
reasonably powerful caliber and it covers a wide range of actual calibers or
specific ammunition.
The 30 Cal only refers to the barrel's diameter which is 308 of one
thousands inch or 7.62mm in metric.
The actual calibers or ammunitions it covers would be things like 30-06
Springfield, 300 Winchester Magnum, 308 Winchester which is the same as
7.62x51 Nato etc. But enough of the ammo lesson, maybe I should start a list
for that *smile*.

tested, which are Alex, Daniel, the US Siri voice and Karen, the only one
that didn't say calories for the abbreviation C Aa L is Alex. This leads me
to believe that it's an issue with the Nuance voices specifically because
Alex doesn't do that kind of thing. Granted, he still does abbreviations for
days of the week, but that's all. If this were to be fixed, Apple would have
to work with Nuance because those voices are from that developer. And I
kinda wonder if Apple would want to take that extra time to do just that.
That's why I think it would be cool to use other voices besides the Apple or
Nuance voices.

Any ideas?

found. It does have some unlabeled buttons, but I believe you could learn what 
they are. It has both text and oral descriptions of the various movements.

Tai Chi Fundamentals - Full body exercise for strength, fitness, stamina, 
resistance and stress relief, PPL Development Company LLC, three and a half

The basic app with a dozen or so exercises is free. There are in-app purchases, 
but I do not know what extra they provide.

RE: bluetooth headset recommendations

[SSEric]

I agree with Chris. I currently have five different devices, and none of
them has any lag with typing, etc. This did used to be a big problem, but I
think it is the devices that have improved and not Apple because if you go
back to an older device it will suffer the same lag time.

Allen doesn't notice it the way he uses his phone, but it is present and one
of the reasons why I don't like to use Bluetooth earpieces or headsets if I
really have to navigate and type a lot. I just invested a fair bit in both a
new Bluetooth stereo headset (the Plantronics Backbeat Sense) and a
Bluetooth earpiece (the Plantronics Voyager Edge) and I am curious how much
better (or not) the lag is with these new Bluetooth 4.0 devices. Anyhow,
mostly I use the earpiece when I'm walking and want to hear the GPS or take
a phone call and the stereo headset I would use mostly at home when I'm
doing stuff around the house and just want to listen to an audio book or
music in good quality and maybe also take the occasional phone call.

RE: Discrete, long-lasting, bluetooth headset recommendation

[SSEric]

As I mentioned the other day, take a look at Anker Sport. They are about as
small as Bluetooth gets. They do have to seat in the ear canal for good
music quality but for reading you would not have to insert them so far and
could still hear outside sounds. They run about $30 on Amazon.

Hi,
I'm seeking recommendations for a bluetooth headset that is rather discrete
and has super long battery life. I want a bluetooth headset that I can
listen to music and books all day at work while I work, so the battery life
would have to be decent. Also, even though I'd be listening to music through
it, I'd be okay with it only going in one ear, although it would be nice to
have the play/pause and music controls and volume controls on it. I'd like
something kind of small or at least rather discrete. I'm using an iPhone 6,
although I don't think that matters, because most if not all modern
bluetooth headsets should work with iOS devices. Any help and insight would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,


Moop

RE: bluetooth earpieces - not losing them

[SSEric]

If you want stereo sound, an earpiece in each ear, I suggest you try the
Anker Bluetooth earbuds. They are quite affordable at around $30 U.S. and
have very good sound 

 

They are like two small earpieces joined by a cord you can hang under your
chin, around the back of your neck or across the top of your head. They have
stabilizer hooks that go into that pocket in your ear to keep them in place
and from falling out. You do not have to press them completely into the ear
canal unless you want the best music. Leaving them a bit loose allows you to
hear outside sound. The backs of each is magnetic so they will join when in
storage. I hang them around the back of my neck and when not in use they
dangle under my collar on my chest. If you are just talking or reading, you
can only use one earpiece and leave the other hanging.

 

I do like the LG Tone because they vibrate with an incoming call. This is
much nicer practically than it sounds like a gimmick. I think they are
closer to $100 US., but if you watch for specials you could probably find
them around $50. Others here really like them.

 

Battery life has not been an issue with even the cheapest Bluetooth. I have
had quite a few. I can get a week from a charge on almost everything I have
tried. 

 

The best!

 

Eric

Subject: bluetooth earpieces - not losing them

 

I have been sticking to the apple earbuds that come with our phones for the
last 3 years.  Generally speaking, I like how they fit in my ears, the
remote control feature, that they don't have to be charged, and, and this
may sound funny, I like that they are either attached to my phone or the
cord is long enough  that I don't really lose them.  However, I am forever
untying knots in them as they get twisted in my purse or in my pockets.  One
coworker suggested getting a pair of headphone that has a cord wrapped in a
heavier material that doesn't knot as easily.  I've had some of these
earphones in the past and they still do get twisted up.  That means that the
next logical step, unless I'm missing a good option out there, is to go with
Bluetooth earphones of some sort.  But my fear as a blind person is that I
will lose them since I imagine them to be small.  I do not want to be
wearing them every hour I'm awake.  I have visions of the thing falling off
my head or off my desk or into the bottom of my purse.  Can some of  you
alleviate my concerns and tell me what the experience is really like or what
other options you've chosen to get rid of the forever tangling Apple
earbuds?   Secondarily, is it expected that you need to charge them each
night?

Re: Tweetings -- How to Stop Videos

[SSEric]

Nikki, thank you so much for that. I found that look and feel earlier, but I 
thought it was saying heading after it, rather than button. The offending video 
was of a very windy situation, so I had roaring in my ears making it nearly 
impossible to hear anything.

Again, most appreciated!

Hi Eric,

I've had a look in the Tweetings settings. Under Look and Feel, if you go down 
to the Media heading, you should find a few settings relating to videos. The 
first of these is Autoplay Videos, which can be toggled on or off.

HTH,

Occasionally, I get a tweet with an imbedded video with sound. I cannot

It seems to me they only quit when there are enough new tweets to move the

RE: Moving Apps from One Page to Another

[SSEric]

You probably know this, but double tap and hold on the app you want to move.
Slide your finger to the left edge of the screen to go back one screen or to
the right to go forward. You have to raise your finger as soon as you hear
"moving to page, etc." It can be a bit tricky to stop in time.

I don't know if this is still the case, but it used to be said that sighted
could connect the device in iTunes and very easily drag and drop apps from
screen to screen. If this still works, it is probably the best way of doing
major housekeeping.

Anker -- Great Customer Care

[SSEric]

A few weeks ago, I purchased a pair of Anker Bluetooth earbuds. They were
said to have just been released. I got them for $27 or so.

They are pretty small. They are two earpieces joined by a cord. I don't find
anything so special in the design, except they do have stabilizer hooks that
seem to work well. The sound is average for this style earbud.

Mine have an issue with the microphone. It sounds faint and has a
static-like buzz. I contacted Anker and they wrote back asking me to confirm
a serial number and my shipping address and are sending a replacement pair.
They said to keep the original ones, too.

If it hadn't been for my delaying things, this all would have been
accomplished in a few minutes and a couple of E-mails and the three to four
days for shipping. This is what I call excellent customer care!

RE: recommendation for bluetooth device which can be an ear-piece or used in both ears for great music sound

[SSEric]

Chip, I agree this is a pretty good product. It does keep your earbuds
readily available, too.
 
The problem I have is the buds are the type that isolate you from outside.
You can not push them in quite so far, but then you lose most of the
quality.
 
I would really like to find tips that deliver the good sound, but do not
block out all outside sounds. If you or anyone knows of anything, it will be
most appreciated. I actually did try attaching tips from Bose MIE, but they
have a proprietary fit to the earbud which I could not get to stay on the
LG. Too bad because they are the best bud tips I have ever used.
Unfortunately, the MIE are wired.
 
Thanks!

Subject: recommendation for bluetooth device which can be an ear-piece or
used in both ears for great music sound



Hi all,

 

When I went to sign up for my AT service, the very knowledgable salesman
and my wife fell into a discussion about his bluetooth device, which my
sighted wife said was unlike anything she had ever seen.  He told us that it
was an LG Tone Infinim, and in his opinion he would never go back to a
standard ear-piece.

 

This device is shaped like a horse-shoe, and sits on your shoulders,
encompassing 300 degrees or so around your neck, with the open portion
facing directly forward.

 

Each arm has controls on the top and the sides (lots of actual buttons), and
the mike is built into one of the arms.  But best of all are the ear-buds
which nestle in small nooks at the end of each arm, and are attached with
spring-loaded 10 inch long wires.  When not in use, you press a button and
they automatically retract back into the device, so nothing is in your ear
to impeed your hearing.

 

When you get a call (the device will vibrate if you set it up that way, and
it will also vibrate if you begin to walk away from your phone), you simply
grab an earbud and pull it out and insert into your ear.  If you want better
sound, or to listen to music, you pull both out.

 

The controls on the right arm are dedicated to controlling audio (fast
forward, rewind, pause/play), and the controls on the other are
volume/vibrate and interface with Siri so you can give verbal commands.

 

I've waited a couple of months before I said anything here because I wanted
to be sure I also thought it was enormously better than a standard
ear-piece, and absolutely I think it is.  It comes in any number of colors
(my wife's opinion is that the silver/gray is the most professional
looking), and having it around my neck doesn't bother me at all.I do get
a lot of compliments on how it looks, and a lot of requests for demos.

 

A charge lasts about 3 days. I find the audio quality excellent, but admit
to not being an expert on the audio quality of all bluetooth devices, so I'm
putting a review link below, and an Amazon link to the silver for $90 also.

 

I have to admit my wife and I had each already purchase other bluetooth
headsets, and we  don't know what we're going to do with them, but we're
using this from now on.

 

Hth,

 

Chip

RE: good flight booking apps

Isn't the difference with Kayak that they send you back to the particular

you can only check and purchase South West from South West, too.

Well, you seem to be right, but on Southwest Airlines web site it says:

Official Southwest Airlines website, the only place to find Southwest
Airlines fares online.

Southwest also states this on their commercials.

Here are a few web sites where they talk about Southwest and other airlines
choosing not to pay aggregator fees:

I'm not sure why they're showing up on kayak.com now, but maybe things have
changed and they're trying something new.

Thanks Christina. The thing is, BlindSquare costs $30 and aside from
that one bit of information, I would not use it for any actual
traveling. Since I don't often go out and travel on my own, paying $30
for one feature in an app does not seem very worth it to me. If I need
driving direction for my wife to use in the car, then I will most
often use Google Maps.

RE: Benefits of Apple Watch

[SSEric]

I'm sorry if this is obvious, but I have not followed much about the Apple
watch. I have decided I will wait for the next hardware version, at least.

 

Why do they call apps "complications"? It sounds like the use of
complication has referred to apps when I have read it.

 

Thanks!

Hi Jenny,

 

I've found that the Dark Sky complication doesn't provide any accessible
information. I use the complication from the built-in weather app, which
shows the current temperature, but not precipitation. You have to go into
the app to see precipitation. I hope that helps.

Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed to admit that I am really struggling with

regardless.   I'm typically pretty decent at figuring this stuff out,
but for some reason, I'm just not getting it.  So, I have definitely and
successfully selected my default location in the Weather app on my iPhone,
and weather is listed in "complications" within the Watch app on the phone,
but I can't seem to figure out how to make it so that I can dial forward and
backward in time to see the progression in temperature.  I did finally
manage to somehow get come complications to show on my clock face, don't ask
me how, but I'm not sure how the watch decided which complications to show.
There is one displaying the temperature, but again, I can't seem to figure
out what I need to do to make it so I can scroll forward and back.  

 

Personally, I would love to get Dark Sky setup as a complication on my clock
face, which is supposed to show the temperature and rain percentages
throughout the day I believe, but I can't seem to get it to show, even
though Dark Sky is listed in my complications on the Watch app.  I'm so
confused!! LOL  I think I need to find some sort of tutorial on
complications. ;-)

to count on our having the funds available if and when that happens.  Also,
because the thinking is that there will be a new version released early next
year, Best Buy had the Apple Watch Sport for sale at $100-off.  So between

$300.  the savings was actually a big help to us right now.

RE: accessible app for local news

Don, you might try an app NewsOn. That is News On, but it is written as one

It has the news from various TV stations around the country. I believe they

The app is free. It seemed accessible. I tried it a few times, but TV news

RE: looking for an accessible reminder app for traveling

 Use Alarmed. Note the past tense E D.

 

I just tried and you can set multiple timers for either count down or count
up.

 

This would just be a timer and not tied to the time so it could work.

 

I do have the paid version of this, so I am not positive the free version
has it. Give it a look.

I am not sure how you would set recurring reminders unless they are tied to
some kind of clock.  I mean the reminders would have to recur every number
of hours or something like that, and in order for the app to calculate the
recurring time, it would have to be tied to a clock.

The only solution I can think of is that you set your clock on your phone to
either remain at your local time, or set it to GMT time, which would keep
your clock at the same standard no matter where you are.

 

If you left your clock at your local time, then you could just use Siri to
check the local time where you are currently.

 

Hope this helps.

Both times it has died, the battery level has been over 90%. The first time, I

Well, another chapter in the saga of my dead iPod Touch.

After restoring it and re-downloading apps I laid it on my nightstand. When I

and no speech or sounds. It doesn't even ping when I attach the power cord.

Unless anyone has further advice, I guess it is really dead now. I don't know

Please try the following steps.
Assuming the USB cable is still connected to both iPod and computer:

1. Press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons for at least ten seconds.

2. After that time, release the sleep/wake button and keep the home button held 
down until iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode. Release the home button.

3. Once iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode, click the restore button.

Good luck.

How about "find my iphone" and ping. The pinging lasts about a minute, so it
gives you time to walk a bit before restarting it.

Not sure why this would be, for the phone app on my 6S it consistently
displays the first 3 contacts of my favorites list.

Unfortunately I now may have to go back to my 5S because when I went for a
walk yesterday morning I lost my 6S. My wife and I are visiting my parents
and my brother and his family who have a cattle ranch in northern British
Columbia. I walked up the driveway which is about three quarters of a mile
and of course there is snow here and it was -28 Celsius (approx. -18
Fahrenheit) and when I reached the end I wanted to check the time which is
when I noticed my phone wasn't in my chest pocket any more. By the time I
walked back (about 20 minutes) I called the phone with my Mom's phone and it
already went straight to voice mail. I assume the phone didn't stay on long
lying in the snow at these temperatures. Later on my sister in law, then my
brother and 2 of my nephews walked the driveway and the phone has
mysteriously disappeared. The snow isn't that deep and especially on the
driveway it's compacted and there is no way somebody could have come by and
picked it up because this way out in the boonies unless of course Santa came
by with his reindeer and thought a new iPhone 6S is just what he needs
*smile*. Anyhow, we are going to town today (that's a 2-hour drive) and
we'll pick up a metal detector and then tomorrow we'll walk it again with
that and see what we can find. If not then I guess they may find it in the
spring when the snow is gone. Good thing I haven't sold my 5s yet, just have
to get a new SIM when I get home. I'd just like to find the 6S whether it
still works or not because I do have Apple care and I can pay whatever the
fee is now and get a replacement should it not survive the 2 days in the
cold. I think, however, once we find it it will probably work fine once it
thaws out. So much for my iPhone story of the year!


Take care,
Sieghard

Subject: Controlling the contacts/messages that are initiated with 3D touch

Hi again everyone,

I'm using an IPhone 6s+, and had a few questions about the 3d touch feature.

When I activate 3d touch for the messages app, I don't get the option to
message, say, the last two or three people I messaged. Instead, I get
perhaps one person I messaged a day or so ago, and then two people I haven't
messaged in quite a while, and who are not at all among my most recent
messages.

Also, when I activate 3d touch for the phone app, I have the option of
calling a contact that is somewhere in the middle of my favourites section,
as well as the first two contacts in that section. There doesn't really
appear to be any rhyme or reason as to how these contacts, both for phone
and messages, are selected. is there any way to control this so that
activating 3d touch will allow me to either choose which contacts are
presented as choices, or have some pattern for determining which contacts
it'll select?

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!

Shermeen

RE: Reviving a Dead Touch

[SSEric]

I want to thank you all for your suggestions. The steps Christopher offered
did the trick. Huge thanks to you! I didn't think I would ever get there
because during restore I kept getting an error message that it could not
reach the servers.

A follow-up or continuation of this problem is when I tried restoring from a
backup on my PC, I was asked for a password. I tried my Apple password but
it will not take that. Is there another password? I sure don't remember
using anything else

Interesting, after I wrote last night, I tried using Find My iPhone. I was
able to trigger the pinging. Unfortunately, I was not able to stop it, since
the thing was dead. It finally ran itself out, I guess.

I have not had anyone look at the screen to see if that is working, but I do
have voiceover. If anyone knows about that password iTunes wants to restore
a backup, I will be most grateful. If I cant get to it not a huge deal. It
might be time to start from scratch anyway

Again, to everyone, thank you!

Eric

Reviving a Dead Touch

[SSEric]

I have a Touch 5 32gb. Has worked just fine for a couple of years. Last
night I charged it overnight. I used it for an hour or so this morning to
read NFB NewsLine. It sat unplugged and untouched until about 9:30 this
evening. It was paired with a bluetooth speaker I use quite a bit.

When I tried turning it on, I got a buzzing sound. Sort of a lower pitch
burned out florescent tube sound. I had someone view the screen and it was
black. Swiping would not do anything; no voiceover at all. I did get the
buzzing to stop by pressing the power button about 10 times. Seri was
working and voiceover was on, but would not speak and swiping the screen,
pressing volume buttons powering to sleep and awake did not emit any sounds.
I did have Seri play music which I could hear. I did try plugging in earbuds
and could hear the music but could not get anything from touching the
screen.

In my efforts to do anything, I must have turned the thing completely off
because Seri will no longer even work. It was recognized when connected to
iTunes through my PC. I tried resetting, but it said I had to turn off Find
My iPhone in iCloud first. Real helpful. I synchronized things, so it was
being seen, but there still is no sound coming from it and the screen
remains blank.

I should mention I also plugged in the power cord. I could hear the tones
when connecting, but that was the only sound I could get.

Is this thing a brick? Is there anything more I can try? I have never had a
problem with it and do use it all day long nearly every day for reading,
BARD or streaming.

Any ideas will be most appreciated!

Eric

RE: Playing OrganLive Christmas Station via Safari

I had someone look at the screen. There are icons in the title bar. Choosing
the first was for M3U.pls and worked. You can select 384, 192 or 128 BPS. It
then opens a player screen.

If you have someone get you that far, I guess you could leave Safari on that
page and maybe 2-finger double tap to start/stop play. Or maybe go back to
it as a tab.

Hello, everyone.

OrganLive is an Internet streaming station that plays pipe organ
music.  Around this time every year, it offers a temporary station
that plays Christmas organ music.  This temporary station is not
available via any radio apps that I know, so I have been trying to
access it via Safari with no success.  If I go to the site at

xmas.organlive.com

there is an option to select the kind of media format to use for
playing.  The user is supposed to hover the mouse over this control to
make a selection.  No matter what VoiceOver gesture I try, I cannot
activate the dialogue.  I suspect this is a non-functioning site for
VoiceOver, but I'm hoping to be proven wrong.  I am using an iPhone 5
running iOS 9.2.

Thank you for all help.

How far have we come when a phone becomes an option on a phone...

Is there a way you can have voice mail always play through the speaker?

Also, there is one phone number I receive calls from daily and sometimes
multiple times in a day. I don't especially want to delete all recent calls,
but I would like to keep that number from showing up. Anything I might do?

All thanks to everyone!

just that I use the recent calls list as sort of a time line for various
projects. I guess the real solution is to find another way of keeping that
information elsewhere so I can clear all calls at one time.

Thanks again!

I think blocking would prevent recieving the caller,  not sure that was the
intention, thought it just needed to be more invisable.

Regarding the call you don't want to come up, you can block that
number. To do this, go to phone, recent, and find the number you want
to block. Once you have done this, swipe right once to options. Within
the options you will find a block call option. Choose this and you
will be set to go.

Subject: Re: trying to buy apple products on the apple store

 

Hi Larry,

 

I have the same experience every time I buy from Apple site.  The very
people who have given us so much freedom and accessibility have made the
buying experience on their website hell.  I often leave the website and sign
back in to double check whether I've actually managed to put the item I want
to the shopping bag.  In the process of completing the purchase, there's
also a lot of interacting necessary with various areas.  I've never come
across a site that's so complex. It takes me literally hours to make a
purchase.

 

I'm sorry I haven't got a sure solution for you.  I just doggedly keep on
trying, using item chooser menu  a lot, using simulated mouse clicking.  But
do double check because I happen to have put two iphones into my shopping
bag a couple of times which would have been very expensive.  In the end I
had to delete my purchases.  The trouble is Apple webssite saves your
shopping bags, and it seems to me that you can end up having more than one
shopping bag - that's why I'm saying keep on double checking, and if in
doubt, use delete items option.

 

Good luck

As for the thumb drive, I don't think so. That's one of the few things

RE: How to use Siri to enter an appointment

What I do is tell Seri to "add to my calendar Lunch with Don". It then
prompts me for date and time. However, it names the appointment some odd
combinations, such as "lunch with (a Don in my contacts)". I have to tell it
to change title, then confirm everything. An extra step, but it always seems
to mess up what I am scheduling the first time through.

RE: please I am in trouble

[SSEric]

That has happened to me a few times recently. Also using an iPhone 5 and the
latest IOS.

I found the cure that worked for me to be to completely shut down the phone
-- reboot so to speak.

I hope that works for you.

It depends if you are talking about actually reading all text like
instructions and so on or if you are just interested in apps which recognize
what it is. For recognition apps I'd start with Camfind (free), then Tap Tap
See (you have to buy picture credits) and you could of course try apps like
Be My Eyes or CrowdViz which connect you with a sighted person via Facetime
(CrowdViz gives you some free credits, after that you also have to pay a
small amount).

Then there are actual barcode apps like Red Laser (free) or Digit-Eyes
(paid) where you have to find the barcode, the app scans it and compares it
to a database of barcodes online and hopefully it will come up with a match.

Lastly, you could try something like KNFB Reaer to actually recognize the
text on a package, but it often does not work that great because the text
may be difficult for OCR to recognize because of colours, pictures and other
clutter.

The thing is that once you know exactly what the product is, you can often
find it on the manufacturer's website and get more information such as
ingredients or other instructions.

RE: apple tv

If you like old time radio shows, you might look at Vintage Radio. There is
a free version that has a lot of stuff. Then, there is a paid/subscription
version that seems to me to be way too expensive considering all the sites
and probably other OTR apps. This was just the first one I got a long time

RE: Bus Stops

[SSEric]

I cannot recall if this actually announces when you are at a stop or just
says where they are -- Hamilton and Main for instance.

BusTracker. When you are on the bus it does announce the stops as you go.

I have only used it a few times and not lately. I also am in Columbus, and
this might be a COTA product. I am sure it will have complete information in
the App Store.

RE: Bus Stops

[SSEric]

In my earlier suggestion, I was not sure if BusTracker is a local product.
It is for Columbus, Ohio (COTA).

As I said, it has been awhile since I used it. Actually, I looked in the App
Store, and it has not been updated since 2010. However, it does work on the
bus to name passing intersections. It may not give more information than a
stop is at so and so. And, since there have been some major changes in
routes, even those might not be accurate. But, the tracking part might still
be useful. Since Uber, I seldom take busses any more.

RE: ios 9 and dictation bug.

[SSEric]

I hate to say anything because then it will no longer work, but I have had
luck by tapping the dictation button, rather than 2-finger double tapping to
start dictating. This has even worked when replying to mail or messages,
where I had the repeating most often.
