Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7

2013-12-17 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all, In iOS7, I can't seem to set an alarm for even one day in the future. What is the point of using the iPhone as an alarm clock if I can't tell it to wake me up tomorrow morning, or on a date in the future I know I'll need to be up early? I did this all the time in iOS6, but now I can't

Small correction: it is a three-finger quadruple tap. As to selecting, does the gesture have to be horizontal? I've never gotten it to work very reliably, and this may well be my problem. On Dec 16, 2013, at 10:04 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Bill, I suggest you go to

Google it for a full list, but cmd-n, cmd-r, and cmd-shift-r should also work. In Safari, cmd-t and cmd-w work as well. In iOS7, Apple added keyboard command support for apps, so developers can start adding keyboard shortcuts to their apps if they want to. Look for this in future app updates as

It is, but that is optional. The app is free, and saving articles to your account is free. The subscription lets you add features, such as searching or allowing other apps like Voice Dream Reader access your articles. If all you want to do is save articles to Instapaper and then read them in

I don't think you can do that. If you open MBraille first, you can enter dot commands to access parts of Blindsquare (see the manual for details). You cannot, to my knowledge, use MBraille for text entry directly inside Blindsquare though, you have to start in MBraille and use its commands to

The code is easy to find - it is under the plastic strip you remove. Just get into good lighting, position the lens just above that code, and raise the phone until the code is captured. Move slowly, letting the camera focus as you go, and it should work. On Dec 8, 2013, at 1:09 PM, Jen Colley

Sounds like Blindsquare is your app. You can set up trigger distances for POIs, so you'll be alerted when you get within your set distance. I am not a user of the app personally, just so you are aware. On Dec 5, 2013, at 10:16 AM, Jared jared.stoff...@gmail.com wrote: I’m looking for an app
