RE: Mark's Update to iOS and iPad OS 17.2: An Extremely Positive Experience
Hello E. T., Okay, do the following to see the list of episodes in a purchased television series with VoiceOver focus placed on the last viewed episode: 1. >From the Apple TV launch pad, select TV. The TV app will load. 2. Move to the left side of the display and the TV app menu will appear. 3. Select Home. Doing this will cause a table of columns and rows to appear. Initially, you will be placed on the top row of the table which will, most likely, contain Apples featured content. 4. Move down to the row that VO reads as, Up Next and explore the various columns. In each column, you will discover the title of each TV show / series and / or movie you've watched. 5. With focus on a television series, press and hold down the select button on your Siri remote. This is the center button located near the top of the remote. Doing this will cause a context menu to appear. 6. Select, Go to episodes or, Go to show. 7. Explore this area and you will see each episode is listed with the initial focused being placed on the last watched episode. Mark -Original Message- From: E.T.

Yes, even TV OS. I discovered that one can easily locate the episode, last viewed, in a series by using the long press of the select button. Using this button causes a submenu to appear from which one can select view episodes. When selected, one is placed on the last episode viewed, just as in the legacy TV Shows app. Give it a try.

Re: Mark's Update to iOS and iPad OS 17.2: An Extremely Positive Experience
Hi! That’s absolutely great that you can not see any bugs. But its not necessary to close all devices down and disconnect them from the network to install iOS. But maybe you do not have a fast broadband connection. Then that might help. But I never use to do that. /A > 15 dec. 2023 kl. 20:07 skrev M.

RE: Mark's Update to iOS and iPad OS 17.2: An Extremely Positive Experience
I'm very happy with iOS 17.2; however, when I updated my Apple Watch to 10.2, the VoiceOver voice reverted to Samantha, and I cannot change it back to Zoey enhanced. I spent almost two hours on the phone with Apple Accessibility and the problem still hasn't been resolved. I know some people like the Samantha voice, but I can't stand it. I hope someone can figure out a fix soon. I also updated to macOS 14.2 and I've heard great things, but I haven't done a whole lot with that yet. I'm still "getting my feet wet" where the Mac is concerned. - Original Message - From: "M.

I am absolutely stunned to report that after testing virtually every aspect of all of my must-have native and third-party apps, I have not yet encountered a bug. And, as painful as it is for me to admit, I think Apple has done a splendid job with the new version of the native TV app for iOS, iPad OS and, yes, dare I say it, even TV OS. I also updated my Apple Watch Series 7 to Watch OS 10. Again, I can not find a bug. In fact, the hap tic time works consistently using the same gestures I've used since the feature was introduced many years ago. I have not yet had the opportunity to use a Braille display with the latest OS so cannot comment on that aspect of the OS. However, I will say that all of the VoiceOver glitches that I experienced, when having two active E SIM cards installed, has been completely resolved. Speaking only for myself, I am absolutely delighted with iOS 17.2. I am running the OS on my beloved 1GB iPhone 14 Pro Max. Before installing the OS I: 1. Made a full backup of the device on my beloved Windows 10 PC with the latest version of iTunes. 2. Backed up the device to iCloud. 3. Closed every app via the App Switcher. 4. Disconnected any non-crucial devices from my primary network. 5. Disconnected all of the sub-networks from the primary network. 6. Rebooted the device, twice, and allowed it to sit idle for 2-minutes. This insures that the device has full acquisition of the network. 7. Downloaded and install the OS, OTA (over the air).
