Hello Traci, You can customize your notifications in great detail using the Notifications options in the Watch app on your phone. If you mirror notifications on your watch, you get them on the watch instead of the phone unless you're using the phone at the time they come in. However, you can

Re: I Books- Basic Questions

Hi Michelle, You can use VoiceOver to read your books in iBooks. Another option is to go to General/Settings/Accessibility and turn on Speak Screen. Then when you open an iBook, you can ask Siri to read the screen. The advantage is that the text can be spoken while the screen is locked. I

Re: Accessing excel and PowerPoint on the iPhone, iPad or Mac

Hi Mary, Try Numbers and Keynote. I haven't used Keynote, but numbers definitely reads Excel spreadsheets. Both apps are free if you have a recent iPhone, so you have nothing to lose in trying them to see if they meet your needs. Best, Anna > On Jan 17, 2016, at 3:00 PM, Mary Otten

Re: Apple Watch won't speak

Hi, Wait a good 2 or 3 minutes before trying to do anything with the watch once you start the boot-up process. It takes a long time to restart. If Voiceover still isn't running, try the triple-click of the digital crown option if you've set that up, or ask Siri to turn on VoiceOver. Or use the

Re: Question about Apple Watch

Hi, You can load music onto your watch and listen to it with a Bluetooth headset, but you can't start listening to something on the phone and pick it up on the watch. You can use the Music app on the watch to control music playback on your phone, and you can use the Now Playing glance to

Re: iPhone Self muting

Hi Marshall, Are you sure you aren't pressing the Home button 3 times and toggling VoiceOver? While this is unlikely, it seemed worth asking. If that's not the issue, try rebooting your phone. If that doesn't help, go to Settings, choose General, then reset Settings, and choose Reset Network
