Hi all
Anyone had this? I had a bit of a scare with my Apple ID. I tried to
sign into the beta program. First they told me my account was locked and
that I had to reset my password. I thought this can't be true, so tried
to view my ID in Settings on my iPad Mini 2. This worked like a charm.
Hi I really don't know, but get this sometimes on my iPad Mini 2. I do
not use Apple Music on my 4s for various, personal reasons. But suffice
to say a station will play one time, then won't another and vice versa.
It's a mystery and all other sections of Apple Music play just fine. I

Hi Paul. I doubt your data issues are because of Alex because 1., you can only
download him through Wifi and 2, you don't need data to use him because he's
stored on your phone. If anything, Alex will take up space on your phone. It
would be strange if you did have to go through Apple's servers
Hi please turn all system services off. They are not necessary and will
certainly put a drain on both your battery and cellular data.

Hey Chris, glad your problem was solved. I wonder if your sign in problem was
because of that so-called virus error that was in one of your emails.

Hi no it's not likely at all, I can use Alex in Airplane Mode with both
wifi and bluetooth turned off. This proves Alex is really on your device
and not something stored remotely and cached on your device for quick
access.

Also I would not be able to check mail either.

I agree that many of the system services can be turned off, but there are a few
which should stay on, like Find my iPhone and Compass Calibration (unless you
never ever use the compass), also, if you use the Health app to check how far

Apps often are differently arranged on the iPad.
Check near the top for the tabs.
I've not seen TuneIN Pro on an iPad, but this is not uncommon.

Sorry, I was going by what a few were saying on a list recently. I didn't

While you can buy tempered glass screen protectors at Apple and other stores
that sell IDevices and other phones, I bought mine from Amazon at a much

Same here, but I know people who have dropped their phones and had their
screens scratch, crack, or shatter. Plus, protectors can prevent scratches from
keys, or grit if you put your phone facedown on a dirty surface. Yes, the
screens are pretty solid to begin with, but no, they aren't

I have recently started using Blind Square. I think it is a great app.
I cannot use a standard Bluetooth ear piece due to my hearing aids. I would

The other way to do this is to press dot 4 then Dot 1. That inserts an at sign.

Hello,
I am looking for an app that can announce intersections automatically as you
are riding in a vehicle. It sounds like BlindSquare may do this, but I am
unsure from their description...? Does that app announce them without you
having to touch your phone or in some way request the info?
Go into your bookshelf, double tap the edit button at the top of the
screen and then double tap the delete button next to the book you want
to delete. You'll need to confirm this then double tap the done button,
and that's it.

BlindSquare does this just fine.
I believe Apple Maps may also do this.
Seeing Eye GPS will also do this.
If the vehicle is going too fast, the apps won’t keep up.
But, for driving around in a city, BlindSquare does great.
You can set it to only announce streets or you can have it also

There is a new product called the
Bem Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Wristband for $39.99 from AT Guys.com and
perhaps a couple of dollars cheaper from Amazon.com. It is a Bluetooth

calls from your IPhone.
Thanks to both of you. I simply did not see the edit button when looking around
