Re: iPhone 7 specs confirmed from a leaked schematic, includes 2 cameras and no iPhone jack

The Rumored WirelessCharging may OffSet the LackOf a HeadphoneJack

Finally Apple will have WirelessCharging on their MobilePhones (iPhones)

that the new iPhone hopefully, will be water

I can't really order my mailbox

[Kevin Gibbs]

Guys,

I’m tearing my hair out.  I’m trying to reorder the mailboxes I’ve created in 
the On My Mac section of Mail.  I can’t seem to put them in the order I want.  
Mailboxes end up being put inside other mailboxes, or, they won’t stay in 
alphabetical order.  It seems that the only way I can move a mailbox is to 
physically touch it with my trackpad and fingers.  then, I have to use my 
vision to move the box and hope that it lands more or less where I want it to.  
Can someone help me with a more blind friendly way of doing this.  I understand 
that VO Command Shift SPACE is mouse down and mouse up.  but I must not be 
applying or releasing this command in the right sequence to achieve my 
objective.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I’m using El Capitan.  

Could you also send any replies directly to my mailbox at kevj...@me.com

Hi Simon,

thanks for the info re airport.  I might have to check it out.

University towns are nice, aren't they?  My husband and I have lived in one

nearest town has the local university.

Re: New Apple TV

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, David Woodbridge did several podcasts on the new Apple TV.  I’d definitely 
check those out.

I have some of the typical apps: Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, I Heart Radio.  One of 
the searches I did in the app store was my local city, to see which apps may be 
available.  Turns out Seattle has half a dozen or so.

I also have TedTalks, youTube, Yahoo News, NBC, CBS.  I’ve tried a few other TV 
station apps which have worked fine with VoiceOver, but you are limited on what 
you can watch without signing in via your cable provider.

Enjoy,
Traci

finder with el capitan

[Nancy Badger]

Hi everyone,
I finally upgraded my laptop to elcappitan. I am only having one problem so 
far. The finder does not appear to have a side bar. When I go to “show side 
bar” and interact with it or try to activate it with vo space, nothing happens. 
What am I doing wrong and how can I get it to look like the finder I am used to?
Thanks and sorry if this has been discussed previously.
Nancy

Re: New Apple TV

Mary, I have not had the voice over issue on the previous or current generation 
of the Apple TV.  VoiceOver works very well on the current generation.

As for apps, I like the CNBC app, HBOGo, and netflix.  Definitely like the new 
generation of the Apple TV and find it even better than the previous.

New Apple TV

[Mary Otten]

Hi all,
I just purchased a new Apple TV from Best Buy, which has them on sale right now 
for $25 off the retail price. I had an old second generation one which more or 
less died. So now that this AppleTV is heading my way, I am curious what are 
the best current resources for learning how to use it to best advantage, and 
which apps are people really liking? Also, particularly for those of you who 
may have had older Apple TVs and experienced the annoying phenomenon of 
voiceover cutting out and missing first or first and second syllables of words 
while moving around the screen, have you had this problem with your new 
AppleTV? This is the only thing I am really worried about, since that problem 
really interfered with my enjoyment of the older a TV.
Mary

Re: Voice-memos in Itunes.

[Brian Fischler]

Hey the easiest way is to just add to your dropbox but if you want to import 
directly in to iTunes then connect your iPhone via the usb to your mac, sorry 
if you are asking about a PC but I would assume it is the same process. Once 
connected go to the bar that lists photos and how much space is taking up 
music, etc, hit the apply or sync button and let your phone sync after 
finishing all your notes from the iPhone will be listed in notes on your 
computer. Good luck

 Hello,
 
 Even in my Mac Mini’s SD Card slot seems to be temperamental. The only way 
 that hasn’t failed so far is to hook up the stream to the Mac using the 
 USB lead and leaving the card in the stream and then turning on the 
 stream. But then I have problems in ejecting the stream when I’ve finished 
 loading my files. It’s a flaky routine but it can be done.

Re: Battery on an iPhone 6s

[Georgina Joyce]

Hello,

Those with battery issues should look under settings / battery. Which will give 
an indication what app is draining their battery. If you allow lots of apps to 
monitor your location these are usually the culprits.

Transfering apps to Apple Watch.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Hi all,

Is there way to have newly purchased apps on iPhone automatically appear 
on the Watch.


In Watch OS 1.1 this was the case.

Thanks for any insight.

Yours sincerely,

Sadam Ahmed

Donna,

The Watch app is indeed amazing and is my lower right complication on my Watch 
face. The quality is quite good as well on both Watch and phone.

I like the Phone app because it records in an uncompressed format, mpeg4.  You 
can change the names of the files and set up folders, etc.

I was never a big user of the Voice Memos app and I’m sure it can do the same 
things but there is that Watch app.

Hi Mark, cool thread here’s my response to add to the others.

1. Good Mail for Enterprise, it’s a secure mail client owned by RIM now that I 
use to access my work email.  Since it’s a secure network we need to use a 
client like this to access exchange.

2. iMessage, I use the native messaging app as well as the Mac app to work with 
engineers in the field or other coworkers.  It’s great for me as I can respond 
on any device so it makes working very simple if I can cut and paste to the 
same conversation on my laptop and pick it up on the phone.

3. CNBC, I use the watch lists and also love the automatic notifications so I 
get my important breaking financial news.

4. Ootunes / i heart radio / radio.com / tune in pro/ XM sirius, these are the 
streaming music / media apps I use.  I like the XM because it syncs with my 
car, the other apps are just good over the air aggregators.

5. WhatsApp: secure messaging that’s encrypted end to end.  Migrating to this 
away from other apps for security reasons.

 I’m at a bit of a disadvantage in that I’ve actually met Mr Trump years 
 ago, way before this recent run when he contracted my father’s business to 
 install some large generator sets for a Marine application.  It was a 
 positive experience.  I’m also aware of an act of generosity on his part 
 that’s not publicly known so my personal opinion is the stuff you see on 
 TV is an act.  Not that you want that for your president just that he’s 
 not the “Richard” that many may think or make him out to be or he makes 
 him self out to be to be fare.:)
 
 Personally, I think Simon has the right idea being in New Zealand.

Re: Battery on an iPhone 6s

[Seyoon Choi]

I also heard iPhone SE has a very impressive battery life because the A9 
powering the 6S and 6S Plus is what this chip was optimized for. Powering lower 
res 4inch screen and bigger battery inside the SE might make up for this 
reasoning. Though it’s not as good as 6S Plus it’s certainly close. CAn’t beat 
out the logic of physics and the size of battery itself.

Re: Battery on an iPhone 6s

[Mary Otten]

I do have an use Facebook, but I have been doing that for a long time, at least 
several months. So I don't think that's it. I also do try to remember to take 
it out of the app switcher, although I have also heard that having apps in the 
app switcher doesn't make a difference. I still try to keep stuff out of there 
when possible.

Re: Battery on an iPhone 6s

[Seyoon Choi]

I think it definitely makes a lot of difference for an iPhone 6S Plus or 6 Plus 
users. I got the 6S Plus for several reasons despite it’s size. It seem to 
deliver better speaker quality and most importantly that i want to address in 
this thread, battery. The standby time is what it impressed me the most. I can 
easily get through 2 to even 3 days of battery, and combined with low power 
mode could get me little over 3 days. Though by then I feel a need for a charge 
as the phone usually ends up at around 25% which at this point I do more 
extensive work to drain the battery to 0 and charge it and pretty much repeats 
the cycle. When I owned an iPhone 5S the battery lasted a day and I would 
usually end up at around 50% which I ended up charging because I wasn’t too 
confident about battery life for my day 2. I have portable charger encase the 
battery drains out, though I would think the bigger 6S offers better battery 
life than 5S.

Re: Battery on an iPhone 6s

Make sure you do not let your phone get to warm.  Do not leave it out where the 
sun will warm it for example.  Heat is the enemy of your battery.

Also, stuff in the task manager may be actively pinging so it is a good idea to 
clean it out.  For example, if i remove my SIP phone application from the 
switcher power usage decreases measurably.

Re: human to cat translator

[Scott]

Well, I’m not sure what list this would be better for, I definitely do not want 
to upset the user base by being this wildly off topic.

That being said, I’m afraid you both are suffering from excessive media 
exposure.:)

George Washington said it best when he thought that we should reject political 
parties because people would come to serve the will of the parties, not the 
citizens.  Ol George was right.

Re: Battery on an iPhone 6s

I would be very happy if I got two days of use out of my battery using it very 
heavily. I guess there are different definitions of what that means. Smile. I 
wouldn't even mind if I got a full day of use out of it without having to top 
it off somewhere. I know I use my phone a lot. Maybe I will try to get up to 
the Mac store and see if they can analyze my battery.

Re: human to cat translator

[E.T.]

   Trump, having inherited his fortune, is going to bring back the 
American Dream? Laughable, for the 1% is not suffering.


   Trump may get away with brow beating people at business meetings. He 
knows nothing about running the country and if he should move into the 
White House we will think the last 10 years was a vacation.


   What we see on the news is an act? What you see is what you get. All 
the Republican candidates from the get go made the mistake of allowing 
Trump to push their buttons. It was a circus and he is the head clown.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Jenine Stanley]

Donna, 

The Watch app is indeed amazing and is my lower right complication on my Watch 
face. The quality is quite good as well on both Watch and phone. 

I like the Phone app because it records in an uncompressed format, mpeg4.  You 
can change the names of the files and set up folders, etc. 

I was never a big user of the Voice Memos app and I’m sure it can do the same 
things but there is that Watch app.

 Hi Mark, cool thread here’s my response to add to the others.
 
 1. Good Mail for Enterprise, it’s a secure mail client owned by RIM now 
 that I use to access my work email.  Since it’s a secure network we need 
 to use a client like this to access exchange.
 
 2. iMessage, I use the native messaging app as well as the Mac app to work 
 with engineers in the field or other coworkers.  It’s great for me as I 
 can respond on any device so it makes working very simple if I can cut and 
 paste to the same conversation on my laptop and pick it up on the phone.
 
 3. CNBC, I use the watch lists and also love the automatic notifications 
 so I get my important breaking financial news.
 
 4. Ootunes / i heart radio / radio.com / tune in pro/ XM sirius, these are 
 the streaming music / media apps I use.  I like the XM because it syncs 
 with my car, the other apps are just good over the air aggregators.
 
 5. WhatsApp: secure messaging that’s encrypted end to end.  Migrating to 
 this away from other apps for security reasons.
 
 6. Bria soft phone, allows me to connect to my PBX, enables me to encrypt 
 both the payload and signaling for my calls and has very good features 
 that are totally accessible.  Also supports video.
 
 7. Open VPN: allows me to connect to my own Open VPN server from my phone 
 so when on public WiFi or other open environments I can encrypt my 
 communications.  Supports very long keys and SHA-512 hashing firewall 
 feature so very secure, especially good for traveling internationally

more important thing to me is that the new iPhone hopefully, will be water 
proofed or, at least a lot more water resistant.

Re: human to cat translator

[Scott]

Hopefully, Hillary will be brought up on charges soon and wet can get this 
thing over.

I’m at a bit of a disadvantage in that I’ve actually met Mr Trump years ago, 
way before this recent run when he contracted my father’s business to install 
some large generator sets for a Marine application.  It was a positive 
experience.  I’m also aware of an act of generosity on his part that’s not 
publicly known so my personal opinion is the stuff you see on TV is an act.  
Not that you want that for your president just that he’s not the “Richard” that 
many may think or make him out to be or he makes him self out to be to be 
fare.:)

Personally, I think Simon has the right idea being in New Zealand.

Re: Battery on an iPhone 6s

[Scott]

I’m finding that post 9.3 the battery draw is a bit higher than it was.  The 
applications seem to draw pretty well especially Facebook and anything that 
keeps a connection nailed open like a SIP phone or some messaging apps.  
Haven’t noticed a drastic falloff though but definitely a little less battery 
life traded off for faster responsiveness on 9.3.x.

 It seems to me that the battery life on my iPhone 6s is not anything close

 I saw a recently a post somewhere the talked about being able to check the

 he was pleasantly surprised to see that his Mac still had lots of battery 
 cycles left. Is there anyway to do that with the phone? I bought my phone

 And then there's games.  I have to confess I'm a complete and total game

 Blind-fold Games: Tile Puzzle, color Crush, War, Solitaire, sudoku, and 
 Word Games.
 Other Games: Alter Ego,, Lost Cities (which is another card game), Frotz,  
 Papa Sangre II which I swear I'll actually play someday, King of Dragon 
 Pass which I highly recommend, Quizzoid, Delight games, Seven Little 
 Words, Worder, Four Down, Moxie, King's Corner, Cards Alone, One

 my Mac instead.  Like most of us, I have the DropBox app. I have the Nest 
 app for controlling our thermostat.  By way of media related apps, I have 
 Netflix, the app from a radio station I listened to when we lived up in 
 Michigan, Tune-in Radio Pro, and Sirius XM..  I have an app called Phases 
 of the Moon, which lets you track moon cycles.
 
 And then there's games.  I have to confess I'm a complete and total game 
 junky. lol  The games I have are:
 Blind-fold Games: Tile Puzzle, color Crush, War, Solitaire, sudoku, and 
 Word Games.
 Other Games: Alter Ego,, Lost Cities (which is another card game), Frotz,  
 Papa Sangre II which I swear I'll actually play someday, King of Dragon 
 Pass which I highly recommend, Quizzoid, Delight games, Seven Little 
 Words, Worder, Four Down, Moxie, King's Corner, Cards Alone, One 
 Foundation,  and Sixth Sense.  And then a  handful that I haven't played 
 yet Heathcote, Blind Side, and A blind Legend and One Button Travel.
 
 So, unlike Sabahattin, as you can see, I have all kinds of  on
 my phone. :) Cheers, Donna

Well, neither option is good, Trump’s a whacko and Hillary is a criminal so 
neither option is great.  I’m a Gary Johnson man myself but hoping for a 3rd 
party is the definition of wishful thinking.

Re: VR stream and mac

[Carter Temm]

Hi,
For anyone facing the same issue, here's what I did, and this works fine.
1. put the sd card in to the mac, and click analyze when the alert is shown.
2. find the disk in the table in disk utility. **Make sure it's the
right one, or you could face major consequences.**
3. Format the disk as MS dos FAT, and click continue.
The SD card should now be readable by both mac and stream.

 Hello,

 Even in my Mac Mini’s SD Card slot seems to be temperamental. The only
 way that hasn’t failed so far is to hook up the stream to the Mac using
 the USB lead and leaving the card in the stream and then turning on the
 stream. But then I have problems in ejecting the stream when I’ve
 finished loading my files. It’s a flaky routine but it can be done.

[Donna Goodin]

lol  You've got that right.  And sadly, if he gets to be president, all these 
idiots who are voting for him will figure out just what a pathological whack 
job they've sent to the white House. *sigh*

OK, so maybe our cat's the second craziest one on the planet.  In either case, 
she's much more pleasant to be around than is even having to listen to the 
Donald.
Cheers,

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Angie Nutt]

Just remembered more while reading what others are using:

BlindSquare, mainly on the bus; Whatsapp; Skype, mainly when my husband’s away 
overnight and we want to chat; Messaging; Hive, for controlling our central 
heating. Ocado, for ordering groceries. Travelling GB, for checking bus times.

All the best

Thanks, Jean.  I'm so going to have to check this out.  I agree with Scott, but 
it'll still be fun.  Our current cat is pretty wacko.

[Brandon A. Olivares]

The apps I use include:

Music: I can’t sleep without listening to music.

Facebook: Not too often but sometimes.

Money Reader: For identifying bill denominations.

Kindle: For reading eBooks.

Alexa: For configuring my Amazon Echo.

Games: The blindfold games are awesome just for unwinding sometimes.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Angie Nutt]

Hi

The apps I use at the moment are:

Kindle, one of my favourites; KNFB Reader occasionally; Tweetings for Twitter; 
Facebook; a couple of TV related apps called Sky+ and Sky Q; Notes, often for 
jotting down grocery lists; Reminders, almost daily; Calendar; Mail, though 
more for reading than writing; Access Note, mainly for writing down my dreams, 
then sink thee notes to Dropbox, so there’s another one slipped in there :) and 
Safari, probably my most used app; and how could I forget: Music.

All the best

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[David Chittenden]

Also, TomTom and Navigon download the maps onto the iDevice, so a data 
connection is unnecessary when using either app. I prefer TomTom's interface 
over Navigon's interface. Note: Apple Maps uses TomTom's map databases.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

I mean valid physical address, such as a postal address. I use my mum's 
address. In the field for credit card, choose the last option which is enter 
address, or something similar. Type in a valid physical address for the 
country. After that, one must use iTunes gift cards for the particular country 
if one wishes to buy apps. Also, one cannot have gift cards for multiple 
countries at one time. If one changes countries in the iTunes store, one can 
only get free apps from any other store. Note: when a credit card is used, it 
must be from the same country as the store which is open.

RE: Battery on an iPhone 6s

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi David,

 I find I need to charge mine at night if it's down to under 30% 
But as I'm not on it all day I normally get 2 days out of it before needing a 
real charge,

I also carry an emergency charger with me in case I get in to a situation where 
I'm running on empty,

Apple, and other sources,, state not to run the battery completely down more 
than once per month for recalibration. Doing so too often can damage the 
LI-Polymer battery.

The information on the web tends to agree that the best battery management is 
to run the battery between 30% and 80% for this type of battery. Personally, I 
plug my iPhone in at night and unplug in the morning. Very rarely I will top-up 
during the day.

RE: zoom.us accessibility

[Simon Fogarty]

Yeah it's great and very usable.

 We use it as our work Video conferencing system 
It has apps for IOS, mac OS X and windows the IOS app is great for 
accessibility and the windows one wasn't but It may have changed recently, I 
haven't actually tried the OSX version.

Hope that helps.

RE: VR stream and mac

Can you see the card under the disk utilities?

If you can see the card in disk utilities and you don't have an issue with 
losing your content from it, then you should try verifying the disk and if need 
be repair it, or worst case repartition the card and format it as Fat32

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

I think it'salot better but it's been around a longer time and it's more for a 
driving GPS system than a walking  gps system.

I've had that and the navagon systems since before google maps and apple maps 
really got off the  ground.

And I must admit they are used more when I'm in a city I don't know as well as

Thanks for the explanation, Scot. We have domesticated cats, and I never feel 
anything like that from any of them.

So here’s the thing with cats, the meow is a very small part of their ability 
to communicate.  It’s the most obvious but it’s one that my impression is they 
use only for very course direct but not very detailed communication although 
many cats have hundreds of different utterances.
The other thing that’s interesting is your garden variety house cat 
will meow and do tail shapes and mimic behavior for attention but wild cats or 
less domesticated breads have a much more complex communication and bond, 
especially with their people / owner.  Dogs minds are subordinate to ours.  You 
hear their owners frequently referred to as masters and dogs just love pleasing 
their person, something I don’t need to state much on here with the many guide 
dog users on the list.  Cats though, again wild non domesticated cats have a 
very deep connection if they choose to bond with a person.  I’m not a big 
believer in the super natural or psychic BS but the best way I can explain a 
bonding with a higher level cat is almost a telepathic exchange.  My Lynx who I 
raised from a kitten was with me for 15 years and you would almost hear her 
talk but it wasn’t audible and it wasn’t a meow it was a feeling, somewhere 
between hearing a voice and having the impression you heard a voice.  Not just 
simple things like water or hungry but things like “I’d like to go outside 
because there’s a bird I want” or “it will be ok” or things like that.  Also 
she could (if she wanted to) follow complex directions.  I used to let her out 
to patrol the perimeter when we lived out in the woods and would hear something 
outside.  the most difficult emotional experience in my adult life by far was 
when she passed away and I felt that bond break.  I have to this day not been 
able to get another pet or animal because the loss was so hard for me to deal 
with the last time.  I kept hearing her meow for over a week after she passed 
and again I’m an atheist but it makes one wonder a little.
Many people report similar experiences who interact with wild 
animals.  Bird handlers have similar experiences and long wrong out 
relationships with their companion animals as some birds live longer than 
humans.  There are peoples who live in Siberia who hunt with eagles and bond 
with them the same way from babies but they part ways when the eagle reaches 7 
- 10 years old and full adult hood.  The hunters say that the bird will tell 
them when they wish to move on and be free and they let them go and train 
another.
So why mention any of this?  I think it will be a long long time 
before there are interspecies translators that do anything useful.  
Communication is so much more than vocalizations.  Cats for example express 
more with their tails than they do their larynx.  Communication is very 
complicated.  Some animals have even far greater complexity in communication 
than we do, some forms of whales are exponentially more complex in their 
language than ours.  So that’s a long way of saying, no, the universal 
translator for pets is probably not available on iTunes.  At least not yet.

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Donna,

 First the airport utility is for accessing the airport express and airport 
extreme wifi devices from apple,  very simple to use and allow you to access 
the AP / router without having to know your ip address 

It's not one that makes you think your flying, that's Scotts mushies!

We don't have a lot of takeout food options with delivery 
We have a lot of simple little Asian style places that do takeout  or the 
standard KFC, pizza Hutt (brother to Jabba),  hell pizza is my favourite,but 
nothing here in my town very exciting 

 We've got a population of around 120 thousand at this time of year due to 
2  students at the local university,
 But nothing like a lake or pontoon  boat to spend the drinking time on.
 That sounds so awesome.

Oh, Simon, you don't know what you're missing with take-out.  It's the best!  
You don't have to cook or clean up, and you usually have all kinds of 
interesting food options.

Yes, the place where I live is very nice.  We have a pontoon boat that we call 
our floating patio.  During the summer we take it out on the lake for eating, 
drinking, and general merrymaking.  Lots of fun.

I haven't heard of many of the apps on your phone.  I've been surprised by how 
many of you have the Airport utility on your phone.  What do you use it for?

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi David,

 When you say physical address, you mean physical mailing address as in a 
letter type postal address or a email address?

 I'm sure I could get the email sorted easy enough and the postal mail address 
if I neded to.

Simon,

If you have a valid physical address in the US, it is possible to set up US app 
store for free apps. Then, purchasing US iTunes cards (I get them through 
PayPal using a US PayPal account), one can place money in the US iTunes account.
