Greetings. I've got TuneIn Radio Pro and have added the show that I want to record on a weekly basis to my favorites. How do I go about scheduling the recording? I looked up the steps of how to do it in the TuneIn Help Center, but I'm not finding a "schedule recording" item in the menu/options of

I've heard some good things about sling TV, which is available for iOS devices and Apple TV. I haven't heard a lot of reviews about Sling's accessibility. The idea behind Sling is you pay $20 or $25 monthly for cable channels, and can add on different packages for about $5 each, such as family,

Ari and all, I believe to turn off notifications from the native Calendar, go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars, and look under default alert times. Make sure it is set to none. You can bring up the Fantastical 2 settings by going to the app and finding the settings button in the upper center

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but you can also get all of the Apple accessories, like earbus and extra lightning cables, through the Apple Store app, and pay for them with Apple Pay. If you can't get to your carrier's store or an Apple Store, this is another option. Wayne On 8/29/16,

The one thing that Apple TV has over the other cheaper options, like Amazon Fire, Roku, or even ChromeCast, is that every part of the Apple TV is accessible. I haven't used any of the others so may not be totally informed on this. All I know is that with VoiceOver on the Apple TV, I can access any

I have my phone set to this specific VoiceOver setting, and have found that it too can be inconsistent at times. Another option to allow notifications but not be alerted by them is to mute the sounds from the phone, and also do a 3 finger double tap on the screen. This will mute speech. This way,

Bryan and all, Regarding the phone's battery, if you have jus the phone itself without any extra battery cases, then the 6S Plus battery would last longer. However, if you were to invest in a MofiJuice Pack (probably misspelled but you know what I mean), or an Apple Smart Battery Case for the 6S,

I've read rumors that there will be a 32 GB option of the iPhone 7. We will see in a few weeks when we know more, but that was one of many rumors of the new iPhone. I hope they do though, since 16 GB is extremely small. Good for those on a budget, but not much else. Wayne On 8/26/16, Mary Otten

This way doesn't work. I can go to the book listings in the list view in my library, but there is no action rodar item for each book. There is also no edit button anywhere on the screen that I could find. I would like to know this too since there are a few books that I would like to get rid of.

I like that there are additional alert options for events in Fantastical, such as 10 or 45 minutes before, or even 12 hours, or several days. If you need more than 2 or 3 days, you can choose custom and pick a date using several picker controls. For instance, several medical appointments have

You can press a button on screen or use the power/lock button or either volume button to turn the alarm off. If you have turned on snooze for the alarm, you will either have to go into the alarm tab of the clock app or use Siri to turn off your alarm. Remember to turn it back on again so that it

Hello. Taking your questions in reverse order: I think the Apple TV app for CBS is more accessible to me than the iPhone app. I haven't looked at it a lot, but I do recall being able to move around a lot easier on the Apple TV than I did on the iPhone. Not sure why that is, but I have heard that
