Hi Hank, The fact I can't touch dial with Groundwire and that the DialPad doesn't work well with Voiceover when in a call is one of the main reasons I stopped using Groundwire. Anyhow, best way I found was to double tap each number, but still even then it sometimes doesn't work and it's often

I'm pretty sure the Apple II was accessible because a few 3rd party applications were developed for the Apple II making it accessible. I don't think it was accessible out of the box. I know you needed the Outspoken screen reader from Berkley Systems to make the early Macs accessible, and there

You can turn on the reminder sync feature in settings. From what I understand, this not only syncs your current reminders, but also syncs any future reminders you create. So you can still use Siri to create a reminder, and it will automatically sync to the Things app. Any reminder that syncs

Christopher, you are exactly right with respect to Apple's history and accessibility. Unfortunately, Google, which made a big lot of noise about their commitment to accessibility, you still rather far behind the eight ball when it comes to that. Just look at what they've done with lollipop.

Hi, I was recently told by a person at Apple Accessibility that Apple was no longer going to support ringTones that were not purchased from the app store. If this is true, then the question becomes, what does it mean. Does it mean that they will simply not help you work out how to do this? Or,

I think that person did not know what they were talking about. If the only ringtones you could get on an iPhone are those you have to buy from the iTunes Store that would cause some uproar and I just can’t see why they would do something to prevent somebody from making a ringtone with iTunes or

Hi Sieghard. Putting them in the tones folder works even better. I didn’t think about doing that. And because it’s likely no other application will play an m4r file, it will, as you say, open in iTunes and be ready to sync. Neal From: viphone@googlegroups.com

Just because Apple doesn't support something doesn't necessarily mean it can't be done. It just means they would rather you buy the tones directly from the iTunes Store rather than sync unpaid tones via iTunes to the phone. On 21 Nov 2014, at 05:14, Neal Ewers neal.ew...@ravenswood.org wrote:
