Hi Cara, I think there are many millions of users out there who will probably disagree. I listened to the Today in iOS Podcast tonight and most of the calls that came in were very positive. Granted, many were about the 5S, but iOS 7 was also mentioned a lot. One older lady did mention the contrast thing. Anyhow, I guess we are stuck with it and while Apple may listen and improve the readability, I doubt they do a 180 and bring the old look back. My guess is that they will tweek this and improve upon it so let's hope they will fix it so that our iOS groups list owner doesn't have to be ashamed *smile*. The 5S by the way gets pretty awesome reviews and apparently totally kicks butt in all the benchmark tests. It is also not to be overlooked that Apple sold 9 million iPhones worldwide on the first weekend, some of them apparently are still in chanel which means not yet in the hands of the end user, and they do have a couple of large new carriers, but given the shortages in many places it does sound like a pretty impressive number.

Unfortunately, I must agree with the assertion that 7 is just plain ugly. A number of sighted friends have described the 'new' look, each in their own way, (as well as their difficulties with using it) and it just seems to me that for whatever reason, Apple just essentially abandoned all the upscale chic look and feel of iOS for what I can only describe as a thrown together gaudy amateurish look. For as much polish as the parallax effect has, the rest of the OS is so overly scaled down as to be just plain ugly. Just to illustrate one basic example, now what are being read by VO as buttons, in some cases, are simply a very light grey word on a white background. There are no borders making this look like a button, no indication that this item should be tapped to be activated and no really definite way to tell if the button is active or not. The font is so thin as to make it difficult to read and as I said, pretty much impossible to distinguish between being active or inactive. This is absolutely awful and inconsiderate for people with any kind of visual difficulties at all. Not to mention just the major change in user interface paradigm. I have absolutely no idea what Apple was thinking with this one and quite frankly, it makes me ashamed. This is just not

As he looked behind the extremely large system, he noticed that a power cable was lying next to the socket rather than being plugged in. So, they plugged the system back in (the power had been unknowingly kicked out of the socket), and everything started working again properly. I always go back to basics when I am in my correct mind.

I have an iPhone 5, 64GB that I purchased in February of this year that is running iOS 6.1.4. I'm not saying I'm not ever upgrading to iOS 7 but I'm definitely not interested in doing so at this time. My problem is that the headphone jack on my phone is faulty. I use the earpods extensively and I have to fiddle with the plug every time I plug in the headset until I get the proper volume coming out of the earpods and get the volume and remote buttons on the earpods working. I'd say that 90+% of the time when I plug in the earpods, the volume is lower than it should be and the headset buttons don't work until I get the connection right. I've already had the earpods replaced once and this did not help so I'm convinced this is a earphone jack hardware issue. I would have preferred Apple replacing the phone through the mail but the senior advisor I spoke with tells me that they can't request the iOS version it comes with and he's fairly certain it will come with iOS 7. So I'm going to the Apple Store tomorrow and hoping that any 64GB black iPhone 5's that they have in stock still have iOS 6.1 on them. I will take my laptop with me containing a full encrypted backup using iTunes from which I can run a restore and get my apps and other things on the new phone. I'm curious if Apple had sent me a replacement through the mail with iOS 7 on it and here's where I need help in understanding the iOS installation process and what I believe I've heard folks on this list call Apple's signing of it. I take this to mean that even if one has a version of iOS on their computers, installing that version requires an action and signing or "blessing" if you will from Apple as part of its installation. The Apple senior advisor I spoke with didn't seem to understand this and that's why I'm posting this message. I did download the iPhone5,1_6.1.4_10B350_Restore.ipsw file about 1am the morning of September 20th from a link provided on this list. This file is about 1GB in size but I need someone in the know to explain if I could successfully install this on a new iPhone and what the steps would be. I think I understand that this can't be done from what I've read posted here. I appreciate anything helpful anyone could post on my issue. What I don't need is someone trying to convince me why I should just accept iOS 7. Believe me when I say I've thought extensively about the iOS I want to run and that I also think Apple could get me a replacement iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 if I talk to the right person. Thanks.

Re: sound problem
Hi, sorry i wasn't detailed enough. from the beginning, i thought darn, i don't hear anything when the ear buds are not plugged in then, i said hum then, i moved my right hand to the top of my head then i scratched my head three times with my first finger then i moved the same finger over the phone glass then i checked if the mute switch was pushed down then i asked someone with vision and checked that the voice settings were on then thought someone would answer a question without coming off as an ultimate expert then it went downhill from there and the self appointed experts said go to the apple store.

Re: About iOS 7, is it really so bad? was: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi Sieghard, thanks for this! yes, the 5S sounds pretty sweet! Can't wait to check out the camera and M7. As far as the iOS 7 UI, no, I sure don't think Apple will do a 180, but it would be nice if they can offer some sort of customization which might at least harken back to a more contoured, textured iOS 6-esque UI or do something to liven up the flat look they have now. :) I've got to tell you it really does make some 3rd party apps look super ugly! Not kidding! lol! Apple did quite a bit of customization on the UI to get their own apps to look like they do. If you use the standard developer tools apps look pretty lousy in the latest OS. Previously if one used the standard UI elements when designing apps, 3rd party apps would look just as good as Apple's own. Not anymore! lol! They basically look like a squared-off child's line drawing. -And not in the good way! lol! Anyway, enough of that. As I said, I'm looking forward to the camera and M7 coprocessor in the 5S. Really want to see how this works to enhance camera and GPS based apps!

My guess is that they will tweek this and improve upon it so let's hope they will fix it so that our iOS groups list owner doesn't have to be ashamed *smile*. The 5S by the way gets pretty awesome reviews and apparently totally kicks butt in all the benchmark tests. It is also not to be overlooked that Apple sold 9 million iPhones worldwide on the first weekend, some of them apparently are still in chanel which means not yet in the hands of the end user, and they do have a couple of large new carriers, but given the shortages in many places it does sound like a pretty impressive number.

Unfortunately, I must agree with the assertion that 7 is just plain ugly. A number of sighted friends have described the 'new' look, each in their own way, (as well as their difficulties with using it) and it just seems to me that for whatever reason, Apple just essentially abandoned all the upscale chic look and feel of iOS for what I can only describe as a thrown together gaudy amateurish look. For as much polish as the parallax effect has, the rest of the OS is so overly scaled down as to be just plain ugly.

Re: About iOS 7, is it really so bad? was: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi Cait, If I were going to get the 5C, I'd definitely get the pink one! :) IN fact, I wish the 5S came in colors! I actually like the feel of the 5C better than the 5S. However, since the 5S has the new camera and M7 coprocessor, I'm looking at that one. Yes, I'd assume that if someone didn't like the background they could just change it. Personally I think it's cool that the backgrounds match the colors of the phones. Unfortunately, this doesn't translate to 3rd party apps. I wish it did. My comments in response to Joseph's note were just to say that generalizations based on sex really aren't cool. I would get the same color of 5C you did, but certainly not every woman might. So that was all. Anyway, how do you like your 5C so far? Smiles, Cara :) On Oct 1, 2013, at 1:49 AM, Cait and Maggie wrote: when I bought my new 5C, I got the pink one.

Re: sound problem
In looking back on what I said, which was Sounds like you flipped the mute switch on. Make sure the slider on the side of the phone at the top is slid all the way to the front. There's also the Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> voice Over On -> Use sound effects option. Make sure this is turned on. I can see where someone might have been bothered by the fact that I implied you had inadvertently flipped the mute switch on. I agree I could have said something like "Have you checked the mute switch or the sound effects settings?" I never meant to take an attitude, but just get a few suggestions out there as quickly as possible. The mute switch has tripped myself up and others on IOS 6 before. Also, in your original note, you said on a iphone 4s v6.x, how do you get all sounds back without using ear buds? something happened and i only have voice and sounds when ear buds are plugged in. You provided absolutely no detail whatsoever on what you had tried. No mention, for example, of having already checked the mute switch or the sound effects settings. Finally, this list is a place to go to talk to other iPhone users. It's not a trained tech support list. If you're expecting to only get responses from trained tech support then you might be more satisfied actually contacting Apple tech support.

Re: iTunes Radio
HI Rose and All, Try this; Go into iTunes Radio on your Mac and interact with the Featured Stations Area. Navigate with VO, to the next Featured Stations area you find, and interact with it as well. Once in this area, just use the plain left and right arrows to navigate the stations. I've found that though many of them say dimmed, when you navigate back through them once again, they will read properly. This seems like it may be a VO issue. Hope this works for you.

Hi Cait, If I were going to get the 5C, I'd definitely get the pink one! :) IN fact, I wish the 5S came in colors! I actually like the feel of the 5C better than the 5S. However, since the 5S has the new camera and M7 coprocessor, I'm looking at that one. Yes, I'd assume that if someone didn't like the background they could just change it. Personally I think it's cool that the backgrounds match the colors of the phones. Unfortunately, this doesn't translate to 3rd party apps. I wish it did. My comments in response to Joseph's note were just to say that generalizations based on sex really aren't cool. I would get the same color of 5C you did, but certainly not every woman might.

just got the 5S tonight. It's performing pretty well so far. I do notice some glitching us on the screen, but I guess I'll just have to learn how to swipe differently or something. Dictation does seem a lot quicker. It also seems to get more things correctly. I do notice that if I have speakers plugged in, that seems to mess up the dictation. Is this normal on other iPhones, or is this unique to the 5S.

Re: how to transfer directly between BARD APP and pc with UbiDisk
Are you transfering a Bard book? MP3 files want work. and only try one zipped bard book at a time. On 10/1/2013 6:12 AM, Robert Doc Wright wrote: Rob it worked the first time and now it doesn't seem to work for me.. Here are my steps After using easy push to send a file to my iDeviceI then go to the download section inside ubidisk and tap more info on the file I want I then tap share then "open in" and chose bard mobile which brings up the bard mobile screen but I am not finding the new book. What have I forgotten? I thought I remembered seeing a progress bar the first time when it worked but not this time. *** When you give unto others whether or not they give to you in return, It matters not for your job is Complete and your rewards forthcoming. - Original Message - From: "Rob" To: Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 4:17 PM Subject: how to transfer directly between BARD APP and pc with UbiDisk Transfering books from PC using Wi-Fi. I use a free app called UbiDisk. Easily transfer files from PC to your I Devices. It even comes with a free windows program with a context menu allowing you to select a file on your PC, press the applications key then choose easy push to send that file to your iPhone. Remember the Bard books must be zipped before sending to the iPhone. UbiDisk is great and has many uses! http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/ubidisk-file-manager-downloader-easypush Be sure to install the Easy Push program for Windows. its very easy and convenient. Now here is how to send books or any other files from your PC to the iPhone, iPod or iPad. On your PC find the file you want to send to the iPhone. press the applications key choose send with easy push the easy push window will open. the list will be empty untill you start the Ubidisk app on the iPhone. then your iPhone will appear on the list. select it and press enter. your iPhone will ask if you want to accept the file. tap on accept to start the transfer when transfer is finished, tap on done. Now back on the ubidisk main window choose local files Once the book is sent to UbiDisk, find it, most likely to be in the Downloads folder if you used the easy push. right beneath the file name is a more info followed by the file name button. double tap to open it then look for the action button, then choose open in Bard will be on that list. good luck!

Re: Alphabet Gone On Telephone Keypad Again
I suspect the extra sounds are because Apple implemented containers on the iPhone. containers are just groups of like objects, and you now get a little chirp when you move from one container to another. For example, when you move into or out of the dock at the bottom of the screen or into or out of the virtual keybaord. On 10/01/2013 10:53 PM, Ray T.

Re: how to transfer directly between BARD APP and pc with UbiDisk
You are right, the UbiDisk action button is now the share button. I believe we can not import any books while Bard is shut down. I upgraded to the iPhone 5 S and was very sad to see that none of my downloaded books was restored from my backup through iTunes. so unless someone has any more info, it seems the bard app is no good without the connection to its home base!

It even comes with a free windows program with a context menu allowing you to select a file on your PC, press the applications key then choose easy push to send that file to your iPhone. Remember the Bard books must be zipped before sending to the iPhone.

On your PC find the file you want to send to the iPhone. press the applications key choose send with easy push the easy push window will open. the list will be empty untill you start the Ubidisk app on the iPhone. then your iPhone will appear on the list. select it and press enter. your iPhone will ask if you want to accept the file. tap on accept to start the transfer when transfer is finished, tap on done. Now back on the ubidisk main window choose local files Once the book is sent to UbiDisk, find it, most likely to be in the Downloads folder if you used the easy push. right beneath the file name is a more info followed by the file name button. double tap to open it then look for the action button, then choose open in Bard will be on that list. good luck!

Re: how to transfer directly between BARD APP and pc with UbiDisk
You may notice that the books you've currently transferred say protected content in the now reading window. After you've transferred books from the pc to BARD Mobile, they will need that few seconds to connect to the server to retrieve the AO, authorization object. This is my loose understanding of the process.

RE: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Just out of curiocity, how do you know it's trying to download when airplane mode is on and when you are only on 3G, how do you know it is in fact downloading? I just don't see how it can download on 3G when there is a 50 Mb download limit, i.e. if you ever tried to download an audio book or podcast that was larger than 50 Mb via 3G it will not let you.

This situation is changing faster than my posts are being posted. The iPhone is now trying to download the update, while unlocked, without a charger and with WiFi turned OFF, which is new. Needless to say, it isn't getting very far on 3G. Indeed, it even tries on Airplane mode, which is daft! But it does appear that Apple have now lifted all the barriers to downloading this auto update. And presumably we will now find, as Frankie Lynch seems to have done, that the update will go ahead and install, even without the OK from the user? Completely outrageous behaviour by Apple if so.

Re: how to transfer directly between BARD APP and pc with UbiDisk
I can still listen to books in the BARD Mobile app that I downloaded before the shutdown, so it's not true that the BARD Mobile app is no good without it's data connection. You need the data connection though to download books in the BARD Mobile app or read books that you transferred to your phone some other way, but if you downloaded the books in the app itself or started reading them before the shutdown then you can continue to read those books.

I upgraded to the iPhone 5 S and was very sad to see that none of my downloaded books was restored from my backup through iTunes. so unless someone has any more info, it seems the bard app is no good without the connection to its home base!

I use a free app called UbiDisk. Easily transfer files from PC to your I Devices. It even comes with a free windows program with a context menu allowing you to select a file on your PC, press the applications key then choose easy push to send that file to your iPhone. Remember the Bard books must be zipped before sending to the iPhone. UbiDisk is great and has many uses! http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/ubidisk-file-manager-downloader-easypush Be sure to install the Easy Push program for Windows. its very easy and convenient. Now here is how to send books or any other files from your PC to the iPhone, iPod or iPad. On your PC find the file you want to send to the iPhone. press the applications key choose send with easy push the easy push window will open. the list will be empty untill you start the Ubidisk app on the iPhone. then your iPhone will appear on the list. select it and press enter. your iPhone will ask if you want to accept the file. tap on accept to start the transfer when transfer is finished, tap on done. Now back on the ubidisk main window choose local files Once the book is sent to UbiDisk, find it, most likely to be in the Downloads folder if you used the easy push. right beneath the file name is a more info followed by the file name button. double tap to open it then look for the action button, then choose open in Bard will be on that list. good luck!

Photo Isn't Appearing?
Hi there, I have a question about my Contacts and photos. Up until recently, my contact information had everything about me.name, home and work phones, home work and other emails, home address, and other stuff. It also had my photo that is the profile picture on my facebook page. Although I don't have Facebook having access to my contacts, I have allowed Facebook to update my current contacts with whatever pictures are on my contacts facebook pages. Today, I noticed that some of my contact information had gotten screwed up. For instance, instead of showing my cell phone number as an IPhone number, it showed as "Other." Also, my photo was no longer part of my profile. I went to the settings area and tried updating that part of Facebook. It didn't add my photo the way it used to do so. Then, I went ahead and allowed Facebook to link up with my existing contacts and add whatever other information it links. Then, it had my photo. When I limited Facebook contact access again, the photo was gone. That hadn't ever happened before. Also, when I checked other friends and contacts, their photos were on their profiles on my phone. Any idea what's going on and what I need to do? Thanks, Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

Re: Audio player for MP3 audio books on IOS devices.
Hi, When I import audio books, I usually do it through the file sharing section of iTunes, as a book usually comprises 30 files or more. I can select them all and import them in to downcast. They all end up in the one folder, by deffault labelled with the date and time of the import. You can rename the folder if you want, but I usually don't bother.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
thats just it. I don't know. However, how it was described to me was that the client would need to authenticate before allowing a download (and might also affect reader functionality if no connection was present). SInce I was not part of the beta testing team, I can't confirm this. -eric On Oct 1, 2013, at 12:27 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Hi, > > I’m a bit confused.

Installation of High Quality Voices
Les You’re right – the Australian has always been my favourite and for some reason the compact voice sounds almost identical to the HQ voice but without the clipping. However in iOS7 it seems that the compact Australian voice now suffers from clipping too. The English voice, however, sounds totally different between compact and HQ and I must have this one set for Siri otherwise it doesn’t recognise my voice so well – so I’m glad I sorted it as Siri would otherwise sound like a complete disaster.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
Neat ideas. Given the nature of government agencies, however, we might be on IOS eleventy-seven before they ever got off the ground, much less implemented. I suspect most folks wouldn't be patient with torrents, though, even with the possibly higher numbers of peers and seeds. Sorry, feeling a wee bit cynical right now. Ha.

Re: About iOS 7, is it really so bad? was: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
when I bought my new 5C, I got the pink one. The girl helping me at the store told me that the background on the phone matched the actual phone's colour. So, I guess if you just want a dark background or a plain white one, just get the phones in those colours. I don't know about the 5S and the colour schemes for that one. If you didn't like the background, can't you just change the wallpaper?

Re: possible LOC shutdown
Hmm, interesting experiment. I went into my App Switcher and cleared everything out using the three finger swipe up. this time my focus kept moving to the next item in the list, so I never had to swipe right. Go figure. After that. I enabled airplane mode and brought up BARD Mobile. I was able to read a book just fine. I suspect I'll be able to keep reading books on my iPhone even if the BARD site shuts down. I've heard that you can't use iTunes to transfer your books to the iPhone if the BARD site were down, but I'm skeptical about this as well. This additional verification isn't done when I copy a book onto a blank cartridge or my Booksense. I'm also not sure how iTunes on my PC would know how to check for anything, since I entered my user ID and password in the BARD Mobile app on my iPhone. Hopefully, we won't have to find out if this is ever true or not. On 10/01/2013 02:27 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: Hi, I’m a bit confused.

This also means that if my internet connection dies, I won't have to worry about how to get that next book. One suggestion for the NLS, use bit torrent. it will allow a far faster download speed. Also, since it is open source, you can tailor it to feed only US clients. This will also allow the NLS to decentralize some of its server operations (so that IF the primary site goes down, the others will still be live). Anyway, the technology is getting good enough that any one person can have enough storage space to contain the entire BARD file holdings (about 12 TV or so). SO, it is not inconceivable that several copies of the entire index can be located in private institutions (local libraries for example). proposed torrent client would require an authentication certificate (like the VR stream or the Braille Sense) in order to log onto the torrent swarm. THis would limit the users to authorized clients only. That same torrent can also copy (in real time) the database that NLS uses to index their materials. This would allow local libraries to have their own local copy. Also, with local volunteer readers, new works could be brought online a lot faster and distributed to all nodes in short order. Seems complicated? not really. In fact, twitter does this very thing. Anyway, that can be how to get around a government shutdown of the NLS and still allow access to the materials. -eric On Sep 30, 2013, at 8:36 PM, Joseph FreeTech wrote: One can read books using the Bard Mobile app in the same way as on the VRS--once the books are downloaded you can read away.

Re: Using iTunes Filesharing and Bard Mobile
I haven't done this myself, but Russ and David posted these instructions to the list in the last day. Doing some research, I found the following, hope it helps: Loading books into the BARDmobile app The BARDmobile app is able to play any DAISY/NISO 2005 formatted book. To load the books into the iOS device for playback use the following instructions. 1. If not in a ZIP archive format. You should compress the directory holding the books files into a ZIP file. 2. Connect the iOS device to your computer with a USB cable. 3. Open the iTunes application and select the iOS device button at the right of the main window. 4. select the "Apps" radio button on the main screen. 5. At the bottom of the Apps screen is a section titled "File Sharing" with a column list of apps. One of those will be the BARDmobile app select it. 6. Press the "Add…" button located in the bottom right of the screen. This will give you a dialog to select the ZIP file from step one. The book will then be added to the app. You may need to restart BARDmobile to see the new book. NOTE: At this time the BARDmobile app will only play DAISY/NISO 2005 books. Other DAISY formats such as DAISY 2.02 and ePub 3 will simply fail to load. On 10/01/2013 12:17 AM, Dani L Pagador wrote: Hi, Everyone. How do I download books from my PC to the BARD Mobile app?

How can you stop voice over from talking while texting?
Hi there. Actually the subject line is a little confusing, I think, but I'm using my Bluetooth keyboard, and when I'm texting, my i-phone is spelling out every character I type, and it's annoying. How can I stop that please, because I'm typing faster than the voice over is speaking. Thanks for your help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

Re: Barred app question
It's been a while since I've done it, but after making sure "I agree" is selected, look for a continue or next button. I'm not sure what you mean by reading books directly on your iPhone, but you can download books directly from the BARD web site to your iPhone. they need to be on the recently added books list or in your wish list though. You can add books to your wish list directly from the BARD app or any browser.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
Yup, I had no trouble reading already downloaded books when there was no internet connectivity either. That’s why I wanted to get some clarification of the statement about authentication. Sure, To download the book to your device maybe. But if that’s the case, there is no real validity to Eric’s statement “that also means that if my internet connection dies, I won't have to worry about how to get that next book.” Because the concerns are exactly the same if your using the bard mobile app are not.

RE: Can you see a list of all the available audio books in the barred app and is there a link for books for kids and young readers?
You can't see all the books on bard directly within the bard mobile app. There is a tab in the app that lets you view the bard website. Once you get into the bard website you can do searches just as you did before the bard mobile came out. All the search functionality of the bard website is available to you.

Re: how to transfer directly between BARD APP and pc with UbiDisk
Rob it worked the first time and now it doesn't seem to work for me.. Here are my steps After using easy push to send a file to my iDeviceI then go to the download section inside ubidisk and tap more info on the file I want I then tap share then "open in" and chose bard mobile which brings up the bard mobile screen but I am not finding the new book. What have I forgotten? I thought I remembered seeing a progress bar the first time when it worked but not this time. *** When you give unto others whether or not they give to you in return, It matters not for your job is Complete and your rewards forthcoming. - Original Message - From: "Rob" To: Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 4:17 PM Subject: how to transfer directly between BARD APP and pc with UbiDisk Transfering books from PC using Wi-Fi. I use a free app called UbiDisk. Easily transfer files from PC to your I Devices. It even comes with a free windows program with a context menu allowing you to select a file on your PC, press the applications key then choose easy push to send that file to your iPhone. Remember the Bard books must be zipped before sending to the iPhone. UbiDisk is great and has many uses! http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/ubidisk-file-manager-downloader-easypush Be sure to install the Easy Push program for Windows. its very easy and convenient. Now here is how to send books or any other files from your PC to the iPhone, iPod or iPad. On your PC find the file you want to send to the iPhone. press the applications key choose send with easy push the easy push window will open. the list will be empty untill you start the Ubidisk app on the iPhone. then your iPhone will appear on the list. select it and press enter. your iPhone will ask if you want to accept the file. tap on accept to start the transfer when transfer is finished, tap on done. Now back on the ubidisk main window choose local files Once the book is sent to UbiDisk, find it, most likely to be in the Downloads folder if you used the easy push. right beneath the file name is a more info followed by the file name button. double tap to open it then look for the action button, then choose open in Bard will be on that list. good luck!

Re: possible LOC shutdown
I had to go to a meeting last night, fully intending on coming home and downloading some books that I had found in the new listings. Well I forgot to do that, so when I got up this morning I thought, well that's that, I can't get those books. But I was able to get them. So I wonder did we get a reprieve or since it was yesterday's books is that why I could get them. At any rate I am glad I was successful in getting the ones I wanted.

Re: sound problem
No, it was those obvious solutions which offended Bryan so much. He has not yet reported receiving a workable solution. The symptoms he reported, considering that the obvious solutions were already attempted by himself, there is a solution which nobody has mentioned. If he finally takes the iPhone into the Apple store and meets with a genius bar rep, the rep will most likely know the proper solution. After all, it was one of those techs who explained that particular problem's solution to me. I wish him luck. I will not assist him because I do not assist people who continue in their rudeness and do not apologise for such impolite behaviour.

Re: Bard only for US Citizens?
I'm 65 years old and have been in the library reading service sense I was around 8 so I've read a few books! And, sense you seem to know what I know, I'd take a guess you've read more then a few books yourself. I was planning on getting a Victor Reader Stream 2 as my Victor Reader Stream 1 is getting pretty old. So far, all it's keys work but a few just work. Humanware wants something like 379 USD for it. The free bard app has saved me from having to shell out that kind of money so now I can put that in a new iPhone. We've been sick around our house passing around what seems to be a cold so haven't felt like going down to the AT&T store yet. I'm down to only 3.2 GB left in free space on my iPhone 4 32 GB iPhone. Maybe when I get the 5s, I better get the 64 GB version. More room for books you see. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now!

As far as I know, BARD or Braille and Audio Reading Downloads a national program by the federal government of the United States of America for US citizens.

I do remember reading somewhere that they all have a lose association with each other and in the past, they have lent books out. I remember getting a book on music from Canada on loan. My guess is as books world wide go more and more digital, arrangements will be made to avoid redundancy if nothing else and of course language. If you can't understand the language, it's pointless to borrow the book regardless of it's format. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

RE: App Switcher [was "Re: iOS 7, thoughts?"]
Maybe I am being stupid but when I see that home button with nothing else left on the screen I press the real button, on the bottom part of my devices, never thought about pressing the one on screen. I am getting used to the current setup but can't say it is my favorite thing in IOS 7. Some of the features that are supposed to be new, in fact seem like eye candy to me. I am on a 4S which may make some difference, but no immediate plans to upgrade today. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 12:26 AM To: viphone Subject: Re: App Switcher [was "Re: iOS 7, thoughts?"] Hi, All you said is true.

I guess I just don't get the file sharing part of iTunes. Oh, well maybe the light will turn on some day.

Hi, When I import audio books, I usually do it through the file sharing section of iTunes, as a book usually comprises 30 files or more. I can select them all and import them in to downcast. They all end up in the one folder, by deffault labelled with the date and time of the import. You can rename the folder if you want, but I usually don't bother. The speed button is found in the bottom left corner of the screen when the player controls are visible.

In my case I imported a file from filer. I double-tap and hold on it and have one of the options to open in downcast. Then I return to downcast and land in the import file window. Here one can select in which podcast to put the file and one also has to select it. I think that I could have imported multiple files so here's where this could be useful. The default import option was a new podcast. I left it unchanged. I tap import. Then I find the new podcast that has the name imported on date such and such. it shows 1 episode. I play it and flick right until, somewhere at bottom of screen, I find a button labeled "normal speed is on" You can either double-tap and cycle through options or double-tap and hold and open up a list of all available playback speeds.

If links with cloud services such as Box or Dropbox and has a much nicer media player than that built into those apps. Also, if you are listening to a book with multiple MP3 files then, unlike those other apps, it moves seamlessly from one file to the next to give unbroken playback without you having to navigate to the next file and double tap to get it to start playing. Also when you come back into CloudBeats it remembers where you were - but this is probably standard behaviour.

Re: Can you see a list of all the available audio books in the barred app and is there a link for books for kids and young readers?
You can access any of the books via the app that you could online through your computer. You can also view your history using the app or online. Sense the bard site went on line, I have read over 700 books and magazines. You can actually download those titles as welling our own history. I think everybody has a list of titles that they would like to help on hand. When you download a title again, it will then appear at the top of the list in your history. I've saved some 400 plus NLS books on my hard drive because I thought I wouldn't mind reading them again. Now with the bard app, I don't need to do that. I have the keys to the library and can find something to read 24/7 and now the capability has been added to do that from anywhere.
