Re: Custom Ringtones

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

You need to check the box to manually manage videos that is located in the 
Summary pane when the iPhone is connected to the Mac.  Once that checkbox is 
checked and that settings has been applied, then you can delete custom 
ring-tones.

It depends on the location of the partitions.  The partitions are somewhat

HD-3 and HD-4, you can't shrink HD-3 and add it to HD-4.  There's kind of like

Re: You Tube downloader?

[Jeff Berwick]

Hi there,

I struggled with this for a long time when I first tried youtube-dl too.

Put quotations around the url and make sure that you are using a double dash — 
prior to the youtube-dl commands—hopefully the following line translates 
correctly in email:

youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IZAVUin01U”

Hi,

Check out this link.

It is for Yosemite, but I don't believe that things have changed much in that

Re: VO friendly way to delete old time machine backups

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Doing this through the Finder is not recommended.  It can corrupt your backups 
and make them ineffective.  If you use the Time Machine method, consistency is 
maintained.  If you enter Time Machine, then use the Window Chooser to access 
the Time Machine controls, you are able to backup, restore and remove old 
backups accessibly.  The key is to use the Window Chooser while in the Time 
Machine area.

Re: Resizing Partitions

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

It depends on the location of the partitions.  The partitions are somewhat 
sequential.  Therefore, if you have four partitions, for example, HD-1, HD-2, 
HD-3 and HD-4, you can't shrink HD-3 and add it to HD-4.  There's kind of like 
start and end markers for the partitions, and it's difficult to manipulate them 
in the manner you're hoping too.  I often just backup the data and re-work the 
drive.  It usually ends up being less work in the end.

I simply run it from a terminal (it invokes a separate window) and use it with 
my screen reader of choice. Since I mostly rely on the braille display while 
editing, the fact that the speech output isn’t ideal doesn’t matter. I could 
install Emacspeak if I wished - the same on the Mac, too.

VO friendly way to delete old time machine backups

machine backups to make space for a rather large SuperDuper backup. IS there a

RE: Do more with Siri on HomePod, Apple Support

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Mark,

This I find rather funny,

Check with siri if you need a coat or umbrella 
 
Well I can't do that because we don’t yet have the home pod in nz and as for 
checking the weather, I find it's just as easy to open the door or window and 
lookout ,

If it'sa rainy day, take the brollie 
If it isn't then take the brollie anyway.

Do more with Siri on HomePod
>From getting the latest news to checking the weather, discover more ways that 
>Siri on HomePod can help you get answers to everyday questions.
Plan ahead
Siri on HomePod can help you check the weather, find places to go, and check 
traffic so you can get to where you're going on time.
 
Check the weather
Want to know if you should wear a coat or bring an umbrella? Just ask Siri.
Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
.   "What's the temperature outside?"
.   "Do I need an umbrella today?"
.   "How's the weather tomorrow?"
 
Find places
Want to try a new restaurant? Or want to know what time the grocery store 
closes? Just ask Siri. Say "Hey Siri," then you can ask things like:
.   "Where's a great place to eat Mexican food?"
.   "What time does the Apple Store close?"
.   "Where's the closest gas station?"
 
 
Check traffic
Whether you're on your way to work or just want to know how long it takes to 
get somewhere, Siri can help. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
.   "What's the traffic like getting to work?"
.   "How long does it take to drive to San Antonio?"
 
Stay up to date
Catch up on current events, sports, stocks, and more with Siri.
 
Get the latest news
You can get news briefs from the top news sources in the world. Say "Hey Siri," 
then say something like:
.   "What's the news today?"
.   "Give me the latest sports news."
Want to switch to a different news source? Say something like, "Hey Siri, 
switch to NPR instead."
 
Catch up on sports
Want to know who won between the Cavs and the Warriors? Or when the Panthers 
play next? Siri knows. Say "Hey Siri," then you can say things like:
.   "What teams are playing in the World Cup?"
.   "Did the Spurs win last night?"
.   "How many completions did Joe Montana have?"
 
 
Check stocks
Stay up to date on the stock market, prices, news, and more with Siri. Say "Hey 
Siri," then say something like:
.   "How's the stock market doing today?"
.   "What's the market capitalization of Apple?"
.   "Where's the NASDAQ today?"
.   "Compare AAPL and the NASDAQ."
 
More ways to use Siri on HomePod
Siri on HomePod is great at answering questions about the things you want to 
know and do in your home. Here's what you can do.
 
Cook with Siri
Need a little help in the kitchen? Siri can help you measure ingredients, set a 
timer, and even help you count calories. Say "Hey Siri," then you can say 
things like:
.   "How many cups are in a quart?"
.   "Set a timer for 45 minutes."
.   "Pause the timer."
.   "How much time is left on the timer?"
.   "How many calories are in an ounce of cheddar cheese?"
 
Be on time
Need to wake up early to catch a flight? Or want to check the time in another 
city? Siri can help. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
.   "What time is it in Berlin?"
.   "When is daylight saving time?"
.   "Wake me up tomorrow at 6:00 a.m."
.   "Change my 6:00 a.m alarm to 6:30 a.m."
When the alarm goes off, you can say "Hey Siri, snooze" or "Hey Siri, stop."
 
 
Ask Siri to translate
You can ask Siri in English how to say something in Mandarin, Spanish, French, 
German, or Italian. Say "Hey Siri," then you can ask things like:
.   "How do you say 'nice to meet you' in Mandarin?"
.   "How do you say 'thank you' in Italian?"
.   "How do you say 'Good Morning' in German?"
