Re: apple watch buy or wait?

2018-04-15 Thread David Chittenden
Apple Watch and iPhone count total steps per day, and flights of stairs climbed.

Apple Watch also regularly takes one's heartrate / pulse. Apple Watch also has 
work-out profiles for running, jogging, swimming, arobics, and (I believe) 
weight training.

I practice Martial Arts, but I do not ware my Apple Watch during practice, so 
have not checked for such a profile.

Kind regards,

Re: Google drive & sync and backup drive download

2018-04-15 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

I believe that there's a checkbox or something like that, that needs to be 
checked before the download will start.  If I remember correctly, it's not 
particularly obvious and it's not initially announced by VO.  You may need to 
do some looking around the page to see if you can find it.  If you still have 
problems with that, let me know and I'll try the download again.  I've still 
got the original dmg download on my Mac, so I've just been using it for 
installation on other machines.  I'm not sure why Google promotes the other two 
options, as I find Google Drive File Stream to be my best option.  I guess 
that's a matter of opinion though.

Later...

 As I’ve said previously the alert message about Google Drive being

on the page doesn’t seem to respond.  Any further suggestions, Tim?

Re: apple watch buy or wait?

2018-04-15 Thread David Chittenden
First, I love my Apple Watch Series 3. I mainly use the silent time check, the 
vibration alerts (especially for navigation with Apple Maps), and the ability 
to make/answer calls when my iPhone is not with me. Oh yes, and the health 
tracking.

That said, if a new Apple Watch comes out later this year, it promises to be 
even better. At that time, I will sell my Series 3 Cellular, and get a Series 4 
Cellular.

Kind regards,

David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA

Your call, and there's no easy answer. Personally, I'm waiting. I have a Series 
2, which is the same as yours but with GPS and better waterproofing. I'm 
sitting out the Series 3 and hoping that a new one comes along this fall. If it 
does and it's worth it, I'll upgrade then, because my 2 works well enough for 
me. If the 4 comes along and isn't worth it, I'll get a 3 for a cheaper price 
than I'd pay now. If no 4 materializes, I'll be sad, but my 2 will continue to 
work. If watchOS 5 makes my current unit unusable, which I doubt, I'll look at 
upgrading even if the next Apple Watch isn't out this fall.

Of course, you could upgrade now if you have the spare funds. You'll get a 
better experience in the months left before the fall, and if you want to 
upgrade to the 4, you'll get a much better resale price for a 3 than a 1. 
You'll also get a better idea of the improvement you can expect in a new Apple 
Watch, which can inform your choice of whether, with its power, you should 
consider a cellular model.

Hi Simon, Andrew, others and Steve.

Thankyou all for offering me your help with Skype or facebook or by email, in 
respect to helping me play audio content on my Mac.


One of the big attractions for me to get a Macbook was because I could talk 
with my family in Sydney and Canada by using Facetime.

Unfortunately, I've not progressed far enough to set these facilities up.

The main reason is that I cannot connect to the internet on my Macbook.

Other devices such as my Iphone, my Wife's Dell lap-top and my Window 7 
computer are all coping with the wired or wy fy facilities of my roughter, so 
the problems I am having lay within my Macbook.

Here is what is happening.

When I boot up my Macbook and after the standard introduction, I get the 
following message:

"Application Alert - System Dialogue -  - This Mac cannot connect to Icloud  
because of a problem with 
meikle.ai...@btinternet.com". "Open System 
Preferences of Icloud to fix this problem"


So obviously I'm not on-line and before I can go further in my learning with 
music, I really need to be able to resolve this.

Despite several attempts at going into System Preferences, I just end up in a 
maize.

You see, I simply don't have the knowledge or skills to mess around in there.

If this makes my position a little clearer, then that's great and I'd welcome 
any advice.

I have however managed to get one-to one help from SITE Glasgow shortly but 
because I'm going to be on holiday for a week, I cannot get this support for a 
few weeks.

I was actually thinking of taking my Macbook to Spain with me on holiday and 
spend most evenings going through, Janet Ingber's wonderful book.

Perhaps I may well yet.  I go on holiday on 21 May for 1 week, so perhaps I can 
resolve this issue befor then.

Very best wishes and thanks again for your on-going support.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

type "Swift" into the Search field and check out the results.  My 
recommendation is to first download Swift Playgrounds to your iPad and go 
through the Learn to Code with Swift Playgrounds 1, 2 and 3.  There is also an 
iTunes U course you can take which is found in the iTunes U app on your iPad.  
Open the iTunes U app, double-tap the Featured tab, activate the
search field, then type Playground.  There should be the Learn to Code with 
Swift Playground course there and some other titles.  There are App Development 
iBooks as well that will show up when you do the previous search in the iBooks

iPad stopped auto-filling the client's Amazon password. I noticed this in the 
betas on my own devices, but thought nothing of it.

We do a lot of work with Amazon and Audible, so this is a pretty big annoyance. 
The option to fill in the password is there, but the password no longer appears 
automatically as it used to. Now, the client has to find the option to fill it 
in above the keyboard, while trying not to touch somewhere on the page and thus 
dismiss the keyboard. Is there any way to get things back to how they were? 
Thanks for any ideas.

I did not see any support for auto fill in assistive touch where I was hoping

Oh well, I guess there is accessibil...@apple.com

RE: apple watch buy or wait?

It’s not technically free, but lets just say the majority would be paid for.

If it's free, at least as far as your bank account is concerned, and you use 
the Watch enough, why not go for it? I didn't realize you had a gift card for 
it. If you upgrade now, then want to upgrade again this fall, you can sell the 
Series 3 to offset the cost. You'd essentially get the 3 for free now, then get 
a 4 at a discount thanks to the sale of the 3. That's a good deal any way you 
look at it. You could also hang onto the card until the 4 arrives, but I would 
figure that the extra you'd pay for a 4, if you upgrade at all, is worth it if 
the 3 has better performance and gives you the cellular option you want. Enjoy 
it for the spring and summer, then see what the fall brings. That's what I'd do 
if I were you. I'm only not upgrading because my cost would come from my 
account, but if I had your chance, I'd go for it.

Your call, and there's no easy answer. Personally, I'm waiting. I have a Series 
2, which is the same as yours but with GPS and better waterproofing. I'm 
sitting out the Series 3 and hoping that a new one comes along this fall. If it 
does and it's worth it, I'll upgrade then, because my 2 works well enough for 
me. If the 4 comes along and isn't worth it, I'll get a 3 for a cheaper price 
than I'd pay now. If no 4 materializes, I'll be sad, but my 2 will continue to 
work. If watchOS 5 makes my current unit unusable, which I doubt, I'll look at 
upgrading even if the next Apple Watch isn't out this fall.

 

Of course, you could upgrade now if you have the spare funds. You'll get a 
better experience in the months left before the fall, and if you want to 
upgrade to the 4, you'll get a much better resale price for a 3 than a 1. 
You'll also get a better idea of the improvement you can expect in a new Apple 
Watch, which can inform your choice of whether, with its power, you should 
consider a cellular model.

Re: Did iOS 11.3 kill auto-fill?

2018-04-15 Thread Danny Keys
Hello,
Ok, this what I can do so far.
I can double tap on the prediction after I activate the email or user name 
field. Then the user name and password are displayed. However, O do not see 
anywhere a button for finger print. Nor does the finger print button work. Is 
it necessary to activate finger print id first? Cause I sure cant find any way 
to activate the home button/finger print.

Re: Google drive & sync and backup drive download

2018-04-15 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

The Google Drive Desktop app and related interface is going away real soon.  I 
suggest you download and install Google Drive File Stream.  It allows you to 
have all your Google Drive files available to you, but they do not use up space 
on the local drive unless you purposely download the item for off-line use.  It 
has save me huge amounts of disk space on my Macs without affecting my Google 
Drive space on in the Cloud.

Later...

For a couple of weeks now, as soon as I restart my macwhen Google Drive was 
installed it was called backup and sync. After closing out everything, I’m 
taken to this backup and sync thing and I can’t really navigate through it. 
book pro, I get a message that tells me Google Drive is going away soon, and is 
being replaced by Sync and Backup.  The message contains a link to “learn more’ 
and “download”.  The download button opens up the relevant page in Safari but 
when I press download link, nothing happens.  Has anyone else had this happen 
to them?

Hello,

Interesting. Where's this button to activate the fingerprint when filling user 
names and passwords, don't see it.

Thanks guys. I wish there would be an alert, asking for a fingerprint to allow 
auto-fill. Short of that, is there an easier way to do this? One of the 
responses in this thread mentioned tapping a point on the screen, but how does 
that work for VoiceOver users? My workaround is to use the prediction above the 
keyboard, but if there's an easier way, I'd love to know about it. Thanks.

Hi all,
I'm always beta testing, so I'm used to ignoring small bugs that get fixed in 
final builds. Yesterday, though, I updated a client's iPad to iOS 11.3, and the 
iPad stopped auto-filling the client's Amazon password. I noticed this in the 
betas on my own devices, but thought nothing of it.
 
We do a lot of work with Amazon and Audible, so this is a pretty big annoyance. 
The option to fill in the password is there, but the password no longer appears 
automatically as it used to. Now, the client has to find the option to fill it 
in above the keyboard, while trying not to touch somewhere on the page and thus 
dismiss the keyboard. Is there any way to get things back to how they were? 
Thanks for any ideas.

Issues with the latest version of Cloud on my Mac.

2018-04-15 Thread Jessica Moss
I’ve just noticed after updated to the latest version of PCloud, that all of a 
sudden, it was no longer asking for my password, and displaying “PCloud has no 
windows,” message when I launched the application.  I’ve gone into the activity 
manager and both quit and force quit the process, and uninstalled and 
reinstalled the application multiple tines along with deleting and emptying 
everything from the trash and starting over with a new instalation, but nothing 
worked.
  Has anyone else had this issue?  I really didn’t want to even have to update 
it, sense nothing was wrong with the version I was using, until Thursday night, 
when I was trying to connect to it, and it was trying to tell me I had no 
interection, which was a lie; I had perfectly good internet connection, because 
I was reading my e-mail while trying to upload stuff to PCloud itself.

For a couple of weeks now, as soon as I restart my macwhen Google Drive was 
installed it was called backup and sync. After closing out everything, I’m 
taken to this backup and sync thing and I can’t really navigate through it. 
book pro, I get a message that tells me Google Drive is going away soon, and is 
being replaced by Sync and Backup.  The message contains a link to “learn more’ 
and “download”.  The download button opens up the relevant page in Safari but 
when I press download link, nothing happens.  Has anyone else had this happen 
to them?

Re: apple watch buy or wait?

2018-04-15 Thread Alex Hall
If it's free, at least as far as your bank account is concerned, and you use 
the Watch enough, why not go for it? I didn't realize you had a gift card for 
it. If you upgrade now, then want to upgrade again this fall, you can sell the 
Series 3 to offset the cost. You'd essentially get the 3 for free now, then get 
a 4 at a discount thanks to the sale of the 3. That's a good deal any way you 
look at it. You could also hang onto the card until the 4 arrives, but I would 
figure that the extra you'd pay for a 4, if you upgrade at all, is worth it if 
the 3 has better performance and gives you the cellular option you want. Enjoy 
it for the spring and summer, then see what the fall brings. That's what I'd do 
if I were you. I'm only not upgrading because my cost would come from my 
account, but if I had your chance, I'd go for it.

Your call, and there's no easy answer. Personally, I'm waiting. I have a Series 
2, which is the same as yours but with GPS and better waterproofing. I'm 
sitting out the Series 3 and hoping that a new one comes along this fall. If it 
does and it's worth it, I'll upgrade then, because my 2 works well enough for 
me. If the 4 comes along and isn't worth it, I'll get a 3 for a cheaper price 
than I'd pay now. If no 4 materializes, I'll be sad, but my 2 will continue to 
work. If watchOS 5 makes my current unit unusable, which I doubt, I'll look at 
upgrading even if the next Apple Watch isn't out this fall.

 

Of course, you could upgrade now if you have the spare funds. You'll get a 
better experience in the months left before the fall, and if you want to 
upgrade to the 4, you'll get a much better resale price for a 3 than a 1. 
You'll also get a better idea of the improvement you can expect in a new Apple 
Watch, which can inform your choice of whether, with its power, you should 
consider a cellular model.

Google drive & sync and backup drive download

2018-04-15 Thread Andrew Lamanche
For a couple of weeks now, as soon as I restart my macbook pro, I get a message 
that tells me Google Drive is going away soon, and is being replaced by Sync 
and Backup.  The message contains a link to “learn more’ and “download”.  The 
download button opens up the relevant page in Safari but when I press download 
link, nothing happens.  Has anyone else had this happen to them?

iTunes reports busy

2018-04-15 Thread Andrew Lamanche
Hi,

I’m still on Sierra on macbook pro 2014.  Recently iTunes started playing up.  
When I attempt to open the app, voiceover says “busy” all the time and iTunes 
doesn’t open.  Then I get a message of non-responsive application and have to 
force quit iTunes.  I have to restart my mac to be able to open iTunes.  Is 
there a way of somehow resetting or debugging iTunes?

Many thanks

Andrew

Re: Further to earlier mail re playing audio content on my Mac

2018-04-15 Thread 'andy' via MacVisionaries
Hi Anne.

Thanks for your offer of help but after three days banging my head, I've 
decided to turn the Mac off and walk away for a spell.

I just seem to be making matters worse, left to my own devices.

I've recently arranged one-to-one training from a blind Apple user who is 
employed by SITE Glasgow, but he will not be able to make an appointment for a 
week or so.

He's only a young guy and fantastic with my Macbook.  He made it look so easy, 
hahaha.

I think I'll just have a break for a spell and perhaps get your help if it 
would not be any bother, later.  I'll hold onto your message.

You know Anne, this is a great list.  I've had offers of help from Newzeland, 
America, London and now France.  Howe's that!


Very best wishes.

Andy.

Hi Simon, Andrew, others and Steve.

Thankyou all for offering me your help with Skype or facebook or by email, 
in respect to helping me play audio content on my Mac.


One of the big attractions for me to get a Macbook was because I could talk 
with my family in Sydney and Canada by using Facetime.

Unfortunately, I've not progressed far enough to set these facilities up.

The main reason is that I cannot connect to the internet on my Macbook.

Other devices such as my Iphone, my Wife's Dell lap-top and my Window 7 
computer are all coping with the wired or wy fy facilities of my roughter, so 
the problems I am having lay within my Macbook.

Here is what is happening.

When I boot up my Macbook and after the standard introduction, I get the 
following message:

"Application Alert - System Dialogue -  - This Mac cannot connect to Icloud 
 because of a problem with meikle.ai...@btinternet.com". "Open System 
Preferences of Icloud to fix this problem"


So obviously I'm not on-line and before I can go further in my learning 
with music, I really need to be able to resolve this.

Despite several attempts at going into System Preferences, I just end up in 
a maize.

You see, I simply don't have the knowledge or skills to mess around in 
there.

If this makes my position a little clearer, then that's great and I'd 
welcome any advice.

I have however managed to get one-to one help from SITE Glasgow shortly but 
because I'm going to be on holiday for a week, I cannot get this support for a 
few weeks.

I was actually thinking of taking my Macbook to Spain with me on holiday 
and spend most evenings going through, Janet Ingber's wonderful book.

Perhaps I may well yet.  I go on holiday on 21 May for 1 week, so perhaps I 
can resolve this issue befor then.

Very best wishes and thanks again for your on-going support.

Very best wishes.

Andy.
From Scotland with Love.

Re: Did iOS 11.3 kill auto-fill?

2018-04-15 Thread Alex Hall
Thanks guys. I wish there would be an alert, asking for a fingerprint to allow 
auto-fill. Short of that, is there an easier way to do this? One of the 
responses in this thread mentioned tapping a point on the screen, but how does 
that work for VoiceOver users? My workaround is to use the prediction above the 
keyboard, but if there's an easier way, I'd love to know about it. Thanks.

Re: Using Swift to Dev Apps

2018-04-15 Thread Jonathan Cohn
WRT Swift / Objecttive C 

Both Objective C and Swift are the primary programming languages that Apple 
systems use for development.  Objective C was used on the NeXT platform for 
designing Objects and because of the function call structure of Objective C 
when Apple created Swift it needed to have the ability to have named parameters 
in functions so that those functions would work with the FrameKits that were 
written using Objective C and that there would be no need to completely rewrite 
all of the frameworks. 

Both Objective C and C++ are extensions of the C programming language that was 
used to develop the original core of Unix
Swift is a modern language with the ability to add methods to not only objects 
but generic data structures like enumerations. It also supports "functional" 
programming style where a function is provided as one of the arguments to 
another function with another argument being a list or list like item.

Swift does tend to avoid the try / catch coding practices often used in other 
object oriented programming languages

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Further to earlier mail re playing audio content on my Mac

2018-04-15 Thread 'andy' via MacVisionaries
Hi Simon, Andrew, others and Steve.

Thankyou all for offering me your help with Skype or facebook or by email, in 
respect to helping me play audio content on my Mac.


One of the big attractions for me to get a Macbook was because I could talk 
with my family in Sydney and Canada by using Facetime.

Unfortunately, I've not progressed far enough to set these facilities up.

The main reason is that I cannot connect to the internet on my Macbook.

Other devices such as my Iphone, my Wife's Dell lap-top and my Window 7 
computer are all coping with the wired or wy fy facilities of my roughter, so 
the problems I am having lay within my Macbook.

Here is what is happening.

When I boot up my Macbook and after the standard introduction, I get the 
following message:

"Application Alert - System Dialogue -  - This Mac cannot connect to Icloud  
because of a problem with meikle.ai...@btinternet.com". "Open System 
Preferences of Icloud to fix this problem"


So obviously I'm not on-line and before I can go further in my learning with 
music, I really need to be able to resolve this.

Despite several attempts at going into System Preferences, I just end up in a 
maize.

You see, I simply don't have the knowledge or skills to mess around in there.

If this makes my position a little clearer, then that's great and I'd welcome 
any advice.

I have however managed to get one-to one help from SITE Glasgow shortly but 
because I'm going to be on holiday for a week, I cannot get this support for a 
few weeks.

I was actually thinking of taking my Macbook to Spain with me on holiday and 
spend most evenings going through, Janet Ingber's wonderful book.

Perhaps I may well yet.  I go on holiday on 21 May for 1 week, so perhaps I can 
resolve this issue befor then.

Very best wishes and thanks again for your on-going support.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

Re: Best ebook reader app and question about ibooks.

2018-04-15 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Leo,

I know of no way to get iBooks to read continuously on the Mac. I rarely use 
iBooks as I find it cumbersome and I buy my ebooks elsewhere.
I use Adobe Digital Editions to read ebooks on my Mac, but you still have to 
press Right Arrow to turn the page. you can reduce the frequency of this by 
making the font as small as possible.
Adobe Digital Editions is easy to use and allows you to read a number of 
protected formats. I mostly read books from Kobo and usually on my iPhone.
You can copy text from Adobe Digital Editions a page at a time by using the VO 
command Copy last spoken phrase to the clipboard (VO-Shift-c).
Cheers,

Anne

Re: hulu

2018-04-15 Thread aliFaisal
Hi,
I wasn’t aware there was a Hulu app for the mac? If it’s accessible, I will 
have to try it out. I was mainly talking about for IOS.
It’s interesting that you said the website was accessible. In my experience, 
this wasn’t the case at all. It seemed disorganized, adjusting playback is 
impossible, or at least I couldn’t find a way, and the entire thing just seemed 
cluttered.
I am going to have to try the Hulu app for the mac. Is it available in the mac 
app store?
Thanks

Re: Using Swift to Dev Apps

2018-04-15 Thread Jonathan Cohn
Hello,

As Alex already mentioned, Swift is a programming language. The actuall code 
that interfaces with IOS is the "Frameworks" I am sure you have heard of Webkit 
and AppKit these are specific frameworks, which are essentially just  libraries 
of objects, methods and properties that provides  some functionality. There is 
even the ability to do ".NET" programming directly for IOS devices using I 
believe Visual Studio Code. If you are looking to develop Applications on 
Macintosh that better interface with AD products that is probably the way to 
go, though I have not read anything.

HTH,
Jonathan Cohn

Re: Did iOS 11.3 kill auto-fill?

2018-04-15 Thread Jonathan Cohn
Unfortunately this is not a bug but a feature. There were concerns about 
auto-fill inputting information without users knowledge. I guess somebody 
figured out a way to use autofill functionality with JavaScript to cause logins 
or other activities without user knowledge. I did recently read how even a 
carefully crafted CSS could be used to steal passwords and usernames, though I 
would think that autofill would prevent that type of hack.. In any case, in 
addition to allowing webforms on other applications to use Safari Autofill 
information, they now require that autofill only works after tapping a point on 
the screen. I wonder if they added any autofill to the low mobility interfaces.


Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: Did iOS 11.3 kill auto-fill?

2018-04-15 Thread Jonathan Cohn
There was information in the release notes indicating that autofill was not as 
auto as before. I have not personally played much with autofill, and not at all 
since upgrading.

>From one google search…
iOS 11.3 requires Safari users to tap in web pages to AutoFill their username 
and password. This is extra work for you, but it's also more secure. Another 
change adds warnings when entering private information onto non-encrypted pages.


Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

 Hello Stacy,
 
 I believe you are saying that VoiceOver volume is fine, but that when you 
 get an alert like Battery is low it speaks at a different volume and 
 perhaps even a different voice. 
 
 If indeed this is the case, then I believe you have text announcements of 
 alerts turned on. You shouldn’t need to have this enabled while using 
 VoiceOver. To turn it off, open system preferences to the Dictation and 
 Speech panel. Click the “text to speech” button and then uncheck the 
 "Announce when alerts are displayed”  checkbox.

Did iOS 11.3 kill auto-fill?

2018-04-15 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I'm always beta testing, so I'm used to ignoring small bugs that get fixed in 
final builds. Yesterday, though, I updated a client's iPad to iOS 11.3, and the 
iPad stopped auto-filling the client's Amazon password. I noticed this in the 
betas on my own devices, but thought nothing of it.

We do a lot of work with Amazon and Audible, so this is a pretty big annoyance. 
The option to fill in the password is there, but the password no longer appears 
automatically as it used to. Now, the client has to find the option to fill it 
in above the keyboard, while trying not to touch somewhere on the page and thus 
dismiss the keyboard. Is there any way to get things back to how they were? 
Thanks for any ideas.
