Re: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

[kitty hevener]

Hi, II to keep this on topic, I will say that I do not know of any I phone 
aps that would help.  Maybe, aira, but that could get costly in a hurry!!  I 
like to swim too and am totally blind.  Putting in tactual lane lines is 
about the easiest way to keep you from bumping in to other swimmers, if you 
have a lane to yourself.  In some settings, I have seen a concept of circle 
swim.  I tried it once, with a lifeguard trying to help me pace.  I felt 
like I was in a contact sport.  So, finally got that facility to arrange so 
that I either had the lane to myself, or was only sharing with one person. 
Each of us would stay on one side of the lane.  So, if the lane line would 
be on your left going down, it would be on your right as you returned.  Hope 
that helps.

Subject: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

I really enjoy and love swimming. I go swimming to my club where there is a 
50 meter pool. Are usually try and go went there at the least number of 
people using the swimming pool. The swimming pool is 50 m long and 25 m wide 
with no lanes marked on it.
Are usually swim very  straight. If there is only one other swimmer in the 
pool, I have no problems in avoiding them.
The problem arises when two or more other swimmers enter the pool. I am 
petrified of swimming either into them or having a head-on collision with 
them! 
When I have a buddy outside by the side of the pool, I would put on my 
AirPods and tape them to my year with waterproof tape. I would stay 
connected to my friends iPhone and he would pass instructions on who was 
swimming in front or behind me. Unfortunately I can’t have this arrangement 
all the time.
Has anybody ever felt this problem? Is there some way that I can use to 
avoid colliding into anyone in the swimming pool without external help?

Email question

['Eve' via VIPhone]

Hi folks,


I use my iPhone 7 to listen to books while having dialysis.

If I receive a call while the book is playing, I can't answer the phone 
fast enough because I can't find the accept button.  All I see is the 
Bard app.  How do I find the accept button?



Thanks for any help.

After Updating To iOS 12.2 Question Please.

[janet gross]

Hi Everyone,
I just finally updated my xr phone to 12.2, and I received an odd message when 
the phone came back on.  I have copied and pasted the odd message below.  If 
anyone has received this message after updating to any updates, please let me 
know how you corrected this issue.
Thank you all for any suggestions.

Janet

Message
if you see one of the cellular update failed or apple pay not available alert 
after a update or a restart, one of these alerts iOS detected an issue that 
requires a repair
what Janet seen;
cellular update failed if you see this alert it might mean there is an issue on 
cellular modem of your iPhone and this means you can't receive or make calls or 
send text messages or access cellular data.  Janet did use another phone to 
call herself on the Xr phone, and the call did come through though.
apple pay requires an update, if you see your iPhone can't use apple pay until 
it has been updated, you will need to update.  If you restore or erase your 
phone you might not be able to activate your device if you see these alerts, 
you will need to take your device to an apple store.
Janet did check Apple pay through settings, and the message from that says; 
I've reached the maximum of 12 cards, and I will need to remove at least one 
card before I can add another one.  Janet says I had only one card added to 
Apple pay though.

Re: iOS app to export contacts to a text file?

[Richard Turner]

I will check if I have the steps written out, but as I recall, after cleaning 
up in Excel, I saved as a CSV file and was able to import that into Outlook 
Contacts.
It took some trial and error.

Hi Adam,
I found this, thanks to your question.  It exports to Excel, but it was a great 
help to me in sorting out which old contacts were listed just under Company, 
and which were listed by last name.
Since Siri doesn’t know what a company is when you only have the name in the 
Company field, I was able to find those contacts easily and edit them.
It is free, but the Excel file wil have a request to buy the full version of 
LibXL, which I plan to ignore, as that is the developer’s responsibility, since 
he/she apparently is using that to export as Excel.

It is no longer being supported and isn't in the app store.

Does anyone know of an app that could replace it?

Hello All,

I just checked my AirPod firmware and the system updated it within 30 seconds 
of it being displayed on my screen.

How to update the firmware on your AirPods, iMore By Mikah Sargent, 27 Mar 2019
 
Apple has released a new firmware version for the first-generation AirPods, 
updating them from version 3.7.2 to version 6.3.2. The company doesn't 
currently offer a list of changes present in the firmware. It also doesn't 
currently provide a way to manually update the firmware on AirPods, opting 
instead for an automatic update process.
But Apple won't just install the firmware update willy-nilly (if your AirPods 
died mid-update it could cause all sorts of problems); you'll need to make sure 
of the following:
.   Your AirPods must be in the charging case.
.   The charging case must be plugged in and charging.
.   An iOS device that's been connected to your AirPods must be nearby.
Once all of those conditions are met, the firmware update should automatically 
begin at some point (yeah, it's that vague).
Now, while you can't trigger a firmware update with a button press or tap, you 
can check what firmware version your AirPods are running and view some other 
interesting information about the wireless earbuds. Here's how!

How to check your AirPods' firmware version 1.
Make sure your AirPods are connected to your iOS device (open the charging case 
or put your AirPods in your ears).

2.
Launch the Settings app on your iOS device.

3.
Tap General.

4.
Tap About.

5.
Scroll down and tap AirPods.

6.
Check the number next to Firmware Version to see what firmware version your 
AirPods are running.

If your firmware version says something other than 6.3.2, your AirPods need an 
update! Put 'em in their case, plug it in, place your phone nearby, and keep 
your fingers crossed for that automatic update!

[Sieghard Weitzel]

A new chip, a bit better battery life and apart from that it sounds like not a 
lot else. The Aftershokz Trekz Air were also very expensive, only about 10% 
less than the Airpods, but at least they have a volume control and connection 
to different devices is seamless as with my Voyager Edge single earpiece.

Yeah I hope the second gens are a lot better in a few areas. The first gen

Can you pair one new AirPod with another?: iMore

[M. Taylor]

iMore - The #1 iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch blog - Friday, March 29, 2019 at
5:00 AM
Can you pair one new AirPod with another?
 
Best answer: If you lose a single AirPod, you can purchase a new one from
Apple. From there, you can pair the new AirPod unit to your existing one.
However, the replacement must match the generation of your current AirPod.
Yes, you can
If you can't find one of your AirPods, Apple does allow you to order a
replacement for $69. You can often find replacement AirPods being sold on
eBay for less. The company will also sell you a replacement charging case
for $59. Apple also sells the 2019 wireless charging case for $79 that works
with both AirPods versions.
Apple AirPods vs. Apple AirPods 2
Because the original AirPods and second-generation AirPods use different
chips, you can't match one with the other. In other words, a W1-powered
AirPod won't work with an H1-powered AirPod 2. When ordering your
replacement AirPod through the Apple website, you'll be asked for the serial
number which is located on the original Charging Case that came with your
AirPods. With this information, Apple will send you a compatible AirPod unit
as a replacement.
Did you really lose it?
Before spending a dime on a new AirPod, try to locate it using the Find My
iPhone app for iOS. With the app, you might be able to find the missing
earbud as long as you're within Bluetooth range. If that doesn't work, you
can think back to the last place you had the AirPods and maybe you can find
the missing one there. At the minimum, by backtracking you might be able to
get close enough to the missing AirPod to activate the Find My iPhone
feature.
Pairing
Once you receive your new AirPod, you can pair it with the other by
following the regular directions for pairing AirPods to your iPhone. Once
completed, you're good to go.
To do this, you must first place both AirPods in the rechargeable case. From
there, with the case open, check the status light. It should flash amber.
Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for five seconds.
The status light should flash white. If it still flashes amber, connect the
case to power, close the lid, and wait 10 minutes.
Next, on your iPhone, go to the Home screen. Open the case and hold it next
to your phone. You'll see setup animation appear on your iPhone. Tap
Connect, then Done. Both AirPods are now paired with your iPhone.

Hi Eve,
When the phone rings, try two finger double tap on the screen, as that should 
answer the call.

Hi folks,



I use my iPhone 7 to listen to books while having dialysis.

If I receive a call while the book is playing, I can't answer the phone fast 
enough because I can't find the accept button.  All I see is the Bard app.  How 
do I find the accept button?



Thanks for any help.

Do you have voice over turned on?  When the call comes in, voice over should 
announce the accept button immediately and then you just do a single finger 
double tap  That will answer the call.

[Andy Baracco]

i replaced the Air Pods with the Plantronics Backbeat Fit 3100. They are $30 
cheaper than the Air Pods, perform just as well, even better with audio out, 
and have ear hooks, so they stay on. They are especially designed for people 
who work out.

I'm always amazed by how badly the Airpods perform in a couple of areas, 
switching between say an iPhone and a watch is one, now this not playing 
voice mails via the Airpods and of course there is the issue about not being 
able to adjust the volume on the Airpods other than by using SIRI and I 
think even then you are actually adjusting the phone volume. I recently 
bought the Aftershokz Trekz Air and I just tested them with a voice mail and 
everything played through the headset.

RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

[Cristobal Muñoz]

So ... a low-tech option perhaps.
My mother was considering getting one of those endless pools that generate a 
current for you to swim against, but she ended up not going for it. Price tag 
aside, it just seemed like overkill and a hassle to maintain.
She got one of those round above ground pools. Tied one end of a bungee cord to 
a post close to her house and the other end she clips on to a belt she wears 
when swimming and proceeds to swim away for as long as she wants.
It's sunny in So Cal almost all year long, so maybe an above ground pool isn't 
going to be an option for a lot of folks, but perhaps an option for some.

Hi Adam,

I found this, thanks to your question.  It exports to Excel, but it was a great 
help to me in sorting out which old contacts were listed just under Company, 
and which were listed by last name.

Since Siri doesn’t know what a company is when you only have the name in the 
Company field, I was able to find those contacts easily and edit them.

It is free, but the Excel file wil have a request to buy the full version of 
LibXL, which I plan to ignore, as that is the developer’s responsibility, since 
he/she apparently is using that to export as Excel.

Re: Using Be My Eyes

[Richard Turner]

My wife is working on a holder made with clear vinyl with a lanyard that has a 
cord adjustment so you can wear it over the shoulder, or shorten the cord and 
wear it so the camera is at about your sternum so you can use it hands free in 
a store, or when getting help with something in your house.
The materials cost under $5.
Where I work, people are beginning to use Be My Eyes or Aira in free locations 
where they would not be able to get the glasses.

Hi,



I know I’m behind the curve since this app has been out for a long time.  I

Is the rear facing camera the one I use?  If I need to use both of my hands 
while on a call do I just find some place to prop up the phone or have any of

Download iOS 12.2 Today and Try Out These New Features, LifeHacker.com

[M. Taylor]

Download iOS 12.2 Today and Try Out These New Features
By David Murphy, Monday 5:30pm
 
Right on cue-it being Apple announcement day and all-the services-oriented
tech giant has released the latest version of its iOS operating system. If
you don't already have it, or have yet to receive the notification that an
iOS update is available, simply tap on your Settings app > General >
Software Update to begin the download. It'll take a while; it took me about
an hour or so to download and install the update on a reasonably fast
internet connection.
While you wait, here are some of the big features you can look forward to
with the update. 

Apple News+
You can now pay Apple $10/mo to consolidate your many magazine subscriptions
into a single digital package. If you're on the fence about Apple's
offering, you do get a one-month trial to play around with the new service.
Don't forget to cancel it if you don't want it, however, as you'll
automatically be billed for the next month's subscription if you forget.
And, as Apple noted today, you can share your subscription with up to six
family members via Apple's Family Sharing feature. Anyone feel like adopting
me?

Canada finally gets Apple News
Stop the presses. Canadian Apple fans can now read the news via Apple's
self-titled app-either in French or English, of course.

More silly Animoji
If you like turning your head into animals and sending quirky little virtual
videos (or pictures, if you just tap your fake noggin) to your friends,
you're in luck. You now get a giraffe, a shark, a warthog, and an owl. 
(Hey, Apple: Open up an "App Store for Animoji" and let other people create
safe-for-work virtual creations. You could probably make even more services
revenue.)

Siri and Apple TV
Update your Apple TV to tvOS 12.2, and your iOS device(s) to iOS 12.2, and
you'll be able to control what's on your Apple TV with a lot more
granularity. As MacRumors notes:
"tvOS 12.2, when paired with iOS 12.2, is designed to allow users to ask
Siri to play specific media on an Apple TV from an iOS device. You can, for
example, ask Siri to play Modern Family on the TV in the living room, or
Pitch Perfect on the TV in the bedroom. This feature is available for music,
TV shows, and movies." 

That "5G E" icon
If you're an AT subscriber, you might see a new "5G E" icon in the
upper-right corner of your iPhone. You can now brag to your friends that you
have an even better mobile connection than they do, and they can remind you
that "5G E" is just AT's bullshit way to say "faster LTE," since your
iPhone (as of when we wrote this) doesn't actually support 5G connectivity
whatsoever. Isn't friendship grand.

Higher-quality audio Messages
This is a simple one, but Apple has boosted the quality of the audio
messages you leave in Messages by adopting a different codec (Opus) at 24000
Hz instead of the previous AMR Narrowband codec at 8000 Hz. Neat.

More specific screen "Downtime"
You can now customize which days and times you want to schedule "Downtime"
via iOS' Screen Time feature. As a reminder, if your phone is in "Downtime"
mode, you'll only be able to use certain apps (you choose) and your device's
Phone app. That's it. Sorry, Facebook.
 
Group Facetime is back!
Yes, that horrible Group Facetime bug that allowed others to eavesdrop on
what you were doing is gone, and the feature is back for all to use. Enjoy
your Brady Bunch-like conversations.

Promotions for subscription apps
Apple is now allowing app developers to offer promotional pricing for
subscriptions, so you'll want to be a bit more judicious about when you sign
up for that which you want to pay a recurring fee to access. As Apple's iOS
12.2 release notes describe:
"...apps with auto-renewable subscriptions can provide a discounted price
for a specific duration for existing and previously subscribed customers.
You can use subscription offers to help win back subscribers who have
canceled their subscriptions or promote an upgrade to another subscription
at a special price. Customers can accept the offer even if they've already
completed an introductory offer."

Air Quality in Apple Maps
If you live in a location that's prone to problems with air quality (hi,
Northern California), you'll now be able to view the air quality index right
within Apple Maps. Alas, you can't superimpose some colorful filter over
your map to see what the air is like for specific locations, but you'll get
a little indicator in the lower-right corner for whatever location you're
viewing (when zoomed in enough).
You can also toggle this, or the weather conditions, on and off via the
Settings app.

More support for Apple stuff (or stuff that works with Apple protocols)
If you have a fancier AirPlay 2-friendly television, you'll now be able to
add it to HomeKit. Similarly, iOS 12.2 offers full support for Apple's
newest AirPods, as well as the Logitech Crayon (for your iPad Pro).
Telling AirPlay to chill out
You'll now be able to do other things while you're 

RE: VoiceDream Folders

[Richard Turner]

No, the filter option is the only way to find your folders.  Then you double 
tap on by Folder X, where X is the name of the currently selected folder.
In the early stages, you did not know which folder was currently selected until 
after you hit "by folder."

I think his logic is that you have several other ways to filter your library.
You could put in a feature request asking that you could have all the folders 
shown as an option.

Re: Apple Card tidbits: No support for shared accounts, security details, penalty interest rates, more - 9to5Mac

Hi Joney,

This is not true, according to Apple’s terms for this new card, the 
introductory interest rate has nothing to do with your credit score.

This stated directly in their terms and conditions for the card.

Your credit score will determine where do you get 13 or 24% interest. The 
higher your credit score, the lower your interest rate.

  Especially if you consider how low interest rates still are, I pay less than

  Chance Miller 



  One of the most interesting announcements from Apple’s event on Monday 
was the Apple Card. While a number of details about the card were revealed on 
Monday, TechCrunch is out today with a closer look at Apple Card and how it 
works.

  TechCrunch’s Matthew Panzarino explains that the version of Apple Card 
shown on Monday is Apple’s “version 1.” This means that, much like other Apple 
products, the company will be “iterating on the contest with new features and 
benefits.”

  One of the things about Apple Card that Apple touts is that it will offer 
“interest rates that are among the lowest in the industry.” The fine print here 
says that rates will vary between 13 percent and 24 percent, which is rather 
standard in the credit card industry. Panzarino notes of two things Apple will 
be doing to set itself apart here.

  For one, there is no “penalty interest rate” on Apple Card. Apple touted 
on stage on Monday that there would be no fees for late payments, which led 
some to speculate that Apple would increase your interest rate if you were 
late. That isn’t the case.

Penalty rates are an increase of your interest rate if you fail to pay 
on time. That is not true. Apple Card has no late fees and no penalty rates. 
You will continue to pay your agreed upon interest rate on your outstanding 
balance, but that rate will not go up. It will impact your credit score, as 
Apple does do standard reporting.

  Further, Apple will attempt to “place Apple Card users at the low end of 
their interest rate tier.” This means the company will try to “shift you to the 
bottom of a tier when you qualify” as opposed to having you pay the interest 
rate that correlates exactly to your credit score.

  Other details of note include that Apple Card does not require a 
signature, as well as the fact that the physical card has a “fixed number on 
the mag stripe, but you don’t know what it is.” The only thing you see are the 
last four digits. There is also no support for multiple users or shared cards, 
while replacement cards are free. You’ll also have to have two-factor 
authentication setup.

  In terms of security, Apple Card will allow you to generate a new credit 
card number at any time through the Wallet app. Furthermore, your CVV will 
refresh at every transaction.

You can hit a button to regenerate the PAN (primary account number), 
providing you with a new credit card number at any time. This is great for 
situations where you are forced to tell someone your credit card number but do 
not necessarily completely trust the recipient

Each purchase requires a confirmation code (CVV) that will refresh 
every transaction.

  Last but not least, Panzarino offers some color on why Apple decided to 
base the Apple Card rewards system on cash back instead of points or miles. 
Essentially, Apple wanted “the simplest, most universal benefit structure,” 
which is cash.

  Read TechCrunch’s full report on Apple Card here, which offers up more 
detail on Apple Pay Transit and more. Earlier this week, we showed you the 
unique setup process of Apple Card in the Wallet app.

But most have been stable, and there are generic substitutes. For example,
our 5240DN and the 2700DW (12 years younger) take the same consumables
(toner+fuser). So "proprietary" doesn't have to mean expensive or hard to
get. Indeed, for the cost per page, the Brother has been exceptionally
cheap, as we often use aftermarket clones of the proprietary toner, and
each toner cartridge lasts us more than a year (with our inkjet printers,
if we don't print regularly, we waste a lot of ink clearing the heads ;<).

Accessibility is all over the map, and I'm not in a good position to
evaluate the various models. The relatively low cost MFC models (typically
less than $140) would appear to be a bit challenging on the accessibility
front. But once set up, probably pretty usable for most operations.

Scans are as good as originals for most purposes (but I have no idea how
one would be able to judge in an accessible fashion!). you hadn't mentioned
a particular weight goal, since you had spoken of printing and scanning, I
suggested their MFC (multi-function copier) series.

As for snapshots, while some of the apps do a fairly acceptable job, it's
fundamentally harder/less accurate to have to shoot at an angle and correct
vs. the scanner having a truly flat scan surface. So if you are trying to
eliminate paper, I'd go with a scanner.

if lightweight is critical, something like the Epson WorkForce ES-50
Portable Scanner may do the trick.

If you have a lot of paper to convert, Epson and Fujitsu make duplex
scanners (that is, both sides of the page in one go). The Fujitsu ScanSnaps
are highly rated, but run about $400-500 (new). For full sized paper, these
are easier to use than flatbeds. However, if you are doing small paper
(e.g. receipts) the flatbeds may be easier. But before destroying the
originals, someone should verify that the scan is clear and readable ...
and I have no idea how one would do that in a properly accessible manner.

Book pages are probably most easily captured with a manual scanning device
(some are pretty inexpensive) but its pretty hard to ensure good results.
I've got a small vuepoint https://www.vupointsolutions.com/magic-wand which
*can* produce a good scan, but it takes good hand/eye coordination (and
sometimes a couple of tries) so I'd rate it as probably a bad bet w.r.t.
accessibility.

Meanwhile an architect friend says get rid of all paper. digitize
> everything. Are scans really that good or at least snapshots of anything
> you scan don't lie, do they? It's only if you need accurate optical
> recognition where it gets tricky.
>
Snaps usually can be spotted vs. a scanned image. If the goal is to have it
look as much like the original as possible ... I'd avoid snaps.

So, do you want/need a combined unit (printing/scanning)? Do you need color
(print? scan??). Can you get by with only the normal operations being
accessible? (having an assistant for the less common operations?). Do you
have a ton of existing paper to convert, or just a document or two
infrequently? If it's pretty infrequent, using a local Kinkos might not be
a bad solution.

RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

Hi Simon,

 

When you talk about open water swimming, do you mean outdoor pools or lakes or 
the ocean?

Of course many of us live in areas where it would be not possible to get to a 
lake or the ocean if it is nearby, without assistance simply because there may 
not be any public transportation going out to a lake that is maybe 10 or 20 Km 
away. Then there is the little issue of climate, maybe you live in a place that 
is warm year-round and where the water in any lakes or the ocean is warm enough 
to swim, but if I wanted to swim in a lake I'd need scuba gear and would have 
to chop a hole in the ice for 6 months of the year, but then again diving under 
the ice would probably not really qualify as swimming, either 藍

Then for 4 out of the other 6 months I would have to wear a wetsuit or risk 
hypothermia!

If the pool is nearby and convenient then I don't think it would be too much to 
ask to have them put in a lane a few times a week if one wants to swim for half 
an hour or even an  hour.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

if possible, have you thought about switching to open water swimming instead?

then, you would generally be in larger areas of water, and with fewer people 
around.

also, hearing any other people would be easier, thus making avoiding them 
easier as well, as you don't get all of the noise and echoes that plague a lot 
of indoor pools.

Subject: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

 

 

I really enjoy and love swimming. I go swimming to my club where there is a 

50 meter pool. Are usually try and go went there at the least number of 

people using the swimming pool. The swimming pool is 50 m long and 25 m wide 

with no lanes marked on it.

Are usually swim very  straight. If there is only one other swimmer in the 

pool, I have no problems in avoiding them.

The problem arises when two or more other swimmers enter the pool. I am 

petrified of swimming either into them or having a head-on collision with 

them! 

When I have a buddy outside by the side of the pool, I would put on my 

AirPods and tape them to my year with waterproof tape. I would stay 

connected to my friends iPhone and he would pass instructions on who was 

swimming in front or behind me. Unfortunately I can’t have this arrangement 

all the time.

Has anybody ever felt this problem? Is there some way that I can use to 

avoid colliding into anyone in the swimming pool without external help?

Re: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

[karuna Chopra]

The only heated pool, with ozone filtration to which I have access is the one I 
have now. I paid a huge amount of money to get an annual membership. I cannot 
now go and start looking for open water swim! The nearest would anyway be about 
2000 miles away! That’s impossible!

This is such a high tech group of tech savvy technocrats! I was sure I would 
get a solution.
I have checked with the swimming pool administrators and they cannot put lane  
markers on the pool   now.
I’m sure there must be some solution for my problem. I’m sure other people must 
be facing this problem as well. How do they cope with it?
Can I  mount a camera on my forehead, wear a helmet with a camera on it which 
would then worn me if something is coming in front? Something please suggest!
I’m sure enough people must be facing this problem for someone to come up with 
a solution! Thanks for your help!

Occasional problem with audio

Hello everyone,

Sometimes, when I am playing a podcast, or a file through Dropbox, or 
VoiceDream, or I am playing music, I experience problems with the audio. The 
volume will be low. Then all of a sudden it will return back to normal.

What might cause this?
And what can I do when it happens, to get the volume to return back to normal, 
much sooner?

Thank you,

Hi Terri,

Is it lowering when VoiceOver is talking and then coming back to normal when it

Sounds like you have raise to wake turned on. To check this, go into settings 
and then display and turn off raise to wake. See if that solves your issue.

Yes. Go to Settings and find Raise to Wake. Turn it off! My phone is charging, 
or I'd stop and go through it, but that is what you do.

Subject: Question on my new iPhone SE

I had help from the Apple store today, transfering the contents of my iPhone 5S 
to my new SE.  

My 5S was running version 10.3.3  My SE is running 12.2

Here's my problem:  On my 5S, I would press the power button at the top of the 
phone to lock the screen.  With the screen locked nothing was spoken when I 
would run my finger over it in the locked position, until I press the Home 
button.

On my SE, I press the power button to lock the screen, and the home page 
disappears, but the time, and the Slide to unlock button still speak before I 
even touch the home button to unlock the phone.  So, if the phone happens to 
move around while in my purse it speaks the time.  I find this a little 
annoying.

Is there a way to prevent this?

RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello Karuna,

You wrote: I’m sure there must be some solution for my problem. I’m sure other 
people must be facing this problem as well.
Honestly, I am sure blind people go swimming, I do swim in our local community 
pool mostly in the winter, but since they have lane swimming twice a day for an 
hour or so it's not usually an issue for me and, as I said, if I called ahead 
and asked to come in during a more quiet time when there aren't any school 
groups, swimming club or other lessons they would put in a lane for me no 
problem. Does a public pool exist which doesn't have the rope with the round 
floaty things on it which they can stretch from end to end? This really is not 
a difficult thing to do and especially if I paid a good amount of money for 
access to this pool I would simply make an issue out of this if they weren't 
willing to accommodate me.
Just out of curiosity, how many times do you go each week and for how long do 
you swim?

You also wrote: Can I  mount a camera on my forehead, wear a helmet with a 
camera on it which would then worn me if something is coming in front?
There are of course the action cameras like a Go Pro which are waterproof and 
so on, but the technology you envision simply does not exist and I doubt it 
ever will considering how many blind people would want it. I'm surprised what 
you described earlier works, i.e. taping your Airpods to your ears, I think 
they would still get wet and I didn't know they were waterproof to the point 
they can be submerged. Of course there are other waterproof headsets out there, 
but you would still need somebody who watches you all the time and who has some 
sort of connection to your Bluetooth headset so he can talk to you while you 
swim.
I downhill ski and have a set of radios which have a headset and allow for a 
full duplex connection so you can talk and hear at the same time just as on a 
phone call, but they are not waterproof. Of course for skiing nowadays one 
could easily use a cell phone and a helmet with built-in Bluetooth speakers as 
long as the ski area where you ski has cell coverage on all the runs. In the 
pool you could achieve something similar if you had an LTE Apple Watch and a 
waterproof headset, you could then simply ask a sighted person to call you and 
once you pick up the call you could start swimming and get instructions from 
your sighted helper, but they would have to be at one end of the pool where 
they could watch you and the other people.
My final question is this: What would happen if you swam along one edge of the 
pool so you have the edge as a reference and you could ask the lifeguard to let 
people know that you are a blind swimmer and not to get in your way?

Regards,
Sieghard

if possible, give it a go, especially if you like swimming a good distance.
lakes are natures own swimming pools.

I am not exactly any sort of geography expert, but unless you are in the 
middle of the sahara or something, surely there is a stretch of river, or a 
lake closer than 2000m away?

I’m sure there must be some solution for my problem. I’m sure other people 
must be facing this problem as well. How do they cope with it?
Can I  mount a camera on my forehead, wear a helmet with a camera on it 
which would then worn me if something is coming in front? Something please 
suggest!
I’m sure enough people must be facing this problem for someone to come up 
with a solution! Thanks for your help!

Hi, II to keep this on topic, I will say that I do not know of any I phone aps

I really enjoy and love swimming. I go swimming to my club where there is a
50 meter pool. Are usually try and go went there at the least number of people 
using the swimming pool. The swimming pool is 50 m long and 25 m wide with no 
lanes marked on it.
Are usually swim very  straight. If there is only one other swimmer in the 
pool, I have no problems in avoiding them.
The problem arises when two or more other swimmers enter the pool. I am 
petrified of swimming either into them or having a head-on collision with them!

When I have a buddy outside by the side of the pool, I would put on my AirPods 
and tape them to my year with waterproof tape. I would stay connected to my 
friends iPhone and he would pass instructions on who was swimming in front or 
behind me. Unfortunately I can’t have this arrangement all the time.
Has anybody ever felt this problem? Is there some way that I can use to avoid 
colliding into anyone in the swimming pool without external help?

Yes, Be My Eyes uses the rear camera and if you need both hands and use

Hi,

 

I know I’m behind the curve since this app has been out for a long

Is the rear facing camera the one I use?  If I need to use both of my

any of you found a good solution?

 

Thanks,

RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

The Apple Watch is waterproof, but while it can track your swim in terms of the 
workout, it doesn't have a camera and even if it did there is no software which 
would translate anything it sees into what Karuna wants. In any case, if you 
have the watch on your wrist it's mostly submerged and always moving and 
certainly it's not pointing straight ahead of you.

The Qardio also has the normal cuff that goes around the upper arm and closes 
with Velcro, a small pack on the outside has some batteries, I think AAA, and 
the electronics which connect it to the app. You start the measurement from the 
app, a small motor inflates the cuff and as is normal with electronic blood 
pressure devices slowly releases the pressure. You can get it directly from 
Qardio or on Amazon, maybe also at Best Buy and places like that and probably 
also from an Apple Store.

RE: Apple Pay

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I really wonder when this person-to-person pay option will be available in 
Canada. It’s not a huge deal since it’s super easy to send somebody money from 
your bank account with Interac email money transfer (not sure if that is 
available in the US), but still it would be another option.

First what I was saying that sending money is limited to using a debit card, 
however I was mistaken. That is soon to be the case, once they release the 
Apple Card ..

To send cash to someone..

In messages, start a text to them..

Then tap on the “Apple Pay” app, if those aren’t visible you will have to 
expend them by tapping on the message apps..

Swipe past the other apps, and you should reach a spot for the amount, you can 
flip through a picker, or actually expand out an area to enter an amount.

Then swipe down to the pay button ..

That will then bring up a similar screen to what you would have if you invoked 
Apple pay at a terminal.

Here is where you will see the default card, and if you want you can change to 
that or use other cards..

Then either face id .. or touch id .. and the money is off …

Hi,
It’s been a long time since I did this, but if memory serves, I had to specify 
either a debit or credit card when setting up Apple Pay. I only use a debit 
card these days. I can’t remember when I last used Apple Pay, but using it with 
the debit card wasn’t a problem at all.

  One of the most interesting announcements from Apple’s event on Monday 
was the Apple Card. While a number of details about the card were revealed on 
Monday, TechCrunch is out today with a closer look at Apple Card and how it 
works.

  TechCrunch’s Matthew Panzarino explains that the version of Apple Card 
shown on Monday is Apple’s “version 1.” This means that, much like other Apple 
products, the company will be “iterating on the contest with new features and 
benefits.”

  One of the things about Apple Card that Apple touts is that it will offer 
“interest rates that are among the lowest in the industry.” The fine print here 
says that rates will vary between 13 percent and 24 percent, which is rather 
standard in the credit card industry. Panzarino notes of two things Apple will 
be doing to set itself apart here.

  For one, there is no “penalty interest rate” on Apple Card. Apple touted 
on stage on Monday that there would be no fees for late payments, which led 
some to speculate that Apple would increase your interest rate if you were 
late. That isn’t the case.

Penalty rates are an increase of your interest rate if you fail to pay 
on time. That is not true. Apple Card has no late fees and no penalty rates. 
You will continue to pay your agreed upon interest rate on your outstanding 
balance, but that rate will not go up. It will impact your credit score, as 
Apple does do standard reporting.

  Further, Apple will attempt to “place Apple Card users at the low end of 
their interest rate tier.” This means the company will try to “shift you to the 
bottom of a tier when you qualify” as opposed to having you pay the interest 
rate that correlates exactly to your credit score.

  Other details of note include that Apple Card does not require a 
signature, as well as the fact that the physical card has a “fixed number on 
the mag stripe, but you don’t know what it is.” The only thing you see are the 
last four digits. There is also no support for multiple users or shared cards, 
while replacement cards are free. You’ll also have to have two-factor 
authentication setup.

  In terms of security, Apple Card will allow you to generate a new credit 
card number at any time through the Wallet app. Furthermore, your CVV will 
refresh at every transaction.

You can hit a button to regenerate the PAN (primary account number), 
providing you with a new credit card number at any time.

That is not true. Apple Card has no late fees and no penalty rates. You will 
continue to pay your agreed upon interest rate on your outstanding balance, but 
that rate will not go up. It will impact your credit score, as Apple does do 
standard reporting.
Further, Apple will attempt to “place Apple Card users at the low end of their 
interest rate tier.” This means the company will try to “shift you to the 
bottom of a tier when you qualify” as opposed to having you pay the interest 
rate that correlates exactly to your credit score.
Other details of note include that Apple Card does not require a signature, as 
well as the fact that the physical card has a “fixed number on the mag stripe, 
but you don’t know what it is.” The only thing you see are the last four 
digits. There is also no support for multiple users or shared cards, while 
replacement cards are free. You’ll also have to have two-factor authentication 
setup.
In terms of security, Apple Card will allow you to generate a new credit card 
number at any time through the Wallet app. Furthermore, your CVV will refresh 
at every transaction.
You can hit a button to regenerate the PAN (primary account number), providing 
you with a new credit card number at any time. This is great for situations 
where you are forced to tell someone

Credit rating, just like all the other card companies. If you have a good 
credit rating, you will get a lower interest-rate. You will not pay a late fee, 
and he will not pay increased interest if you are late. You will still pay 
interest, but  unlike some cards, according to what I read, they will not hike 
the interest-rate.

So opinion seems to be divided on whether the credit card will work. 

 

Assuming it does work, how does one go about making an actual payment?

No, if you’re talking about using a credit card with Apple Pay, you certainly 
can. I don’t even have a debit card in my Apple Pay wallet, but I do have two 
credit cards. And they both work so far as I know. I make fairly regular

Hello everyone,

Sometimes, when I am playing a podcast, or a file through Dropbox, or 
VoiceDream, or I am playing music, I experience problems with the audio. The 
volume will be low. Then all of a sudden it will return back to normal.

What might cause this?
And what can I do when it happens, to get the volume to return back to normal, 
much sooner?

Thank you,

Terri

RE: Apple Pay

[pdllogan77]

First what I was saying that sending money is limited to using a debit card, 
however I was mistaken. That is soon to be the case, once they release the 
Apple Card ..

 

To send cash to someone..

 

In messages, start a text to them..

 

Then tap on the “Apple Pay” app, if those aren’t visible you will have to 
expend them by tapping on the message apps..

 

Swipe past the other apps, and you should reach a spot for the amount, you can 
flip through a picker, or actually expand out an area to enter an amount.

 

Then swipe down to the pay button ..

 

That will then bring up a similar screen to what you would have if you invoked 
Apple pay at a terminal.

 

Here is where you will see the default card, and if you want you can change to 
that or use other cards..

 

Then either face id .. or touch id .. and the money is off …

Re: iOS app to export contacts to a text file?

[KliphnShari Miller]

It depends on what your trying to do.  I would recommend a app called, 
“contacts backup”. It’s free, and it creates a csv file of the contacts on your 
phone, emails it to you, when you want them back, you just tap on the file on 
your phone, and it puts them in contacts

User of just apple products, like to ask and answer without other topics?

RE: Email question

[Carolyn Arnold]

If you can find out where the Accept Button is, put a tiny puff dot or piece of 
Scotch tape on the back side of the phone, where, if you have a thumb on it, 
you can press the Accept Button with your forefinger, or forefinger on the dot 
and thumb press Accept Button. I used to have mine that way, don't need it now. 
I did not have help, just sort of figured out how to line it up. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Hi folks,




I use my iPhone 7 to listen to books while having dialysis.  


If I receive a call while the book is playing, I can't answer the phone fast 
enough because I can't find the accept button.  All I see is the Bard app.  How 
do I find the accept button?  





Thanks for any help.

RE: Email question

[Sieghard Weitzel]

As others pointed out, a 2-finger double tap should answer the call, but there 
are 2 alternatives:

1. Use a headset, either wired or Bluetooth, you can then press whatever button 
on the headset answers a call

2. You could turn on auto answer for the time you have your dialysis and set it 
for a 5 or 8 second delay whatever is comfortable to you. This way if somebody 
calls you hear the ring but you simply do nothing and after whatever number of 
seconds you specify the call is automatically answered. You do this in 
Accessibility Settings > Call Audio Routing, look for the Auto Answer Call 
button, then turn it on and specify how many seconds you want, by default it 
answers after 3 seconds which basically means after the first ring.



Regards,

Sieghard

RE: Download iOS 12.2 Today and Try Out These New Features, LifeHacker.com

[Sieghard Weitzel]

One feature I thought was interesting:
Apple has boosted the quality of the audio messages you leave in Messages by 
adopting a different codec (Opus) at 24000 Hz instead of the previous AMR 
Narrowband codec at 8000 Hz. Neat.
This is actually not neat, it's about time because I always thought it was 
incredibly ridiculous for Apple, who always claims to put such focus on 
quality, to offer this audio message feature where a message you recorded 
sounded like ti was a recording from a 1990's era answering machine recording 
on a mini cassette tape. I never used this feature and would use WhatsApp 
instead because at least my recording was high quality.
I'll have to try this out and if it's in fact good quality audio now I might 
use this feature more.

Download iOS 12.2 Today and Try Out These New Features By David Murphy, Monday 
5:30pm
 
Right on cue-it being Apple announcement day and all-the services-oriented tech 
giant has released the latest version of its iOS operating system. If you don't 
already have it, or have yet to receive the notification that an iOS update is 
available, simply tap on your Settings app > General > Software Update to begin 
the download. It'll take a while; it took me about an hour or so to download 
and install the update on a reasonably fast internet connection.
While you wait, here are some of the big features you can look forward to with 
the update. 

Apple News+
You can now pay Apple $10/mo to consolidate your many magazine subscriptions 
into a single digital package. If you're on the fence about Apple's offering, 
you do get a one-month trial to play around with the new service.
Don't forget to cancel it if you don't want it, however, as you'll 
automatically be billed for the next month's subscription if you forget.
And, as Apple noted today, you can share your subscription with up to six 
family members via Apple's Family Sharing feature. Anyone feel like adopting me?

Canada finally gets Apple News
Stop the presses. Canadian Apple fans can now read the news via Apple's 
self-titled app-either in French or English, of course.

More silly Animoji
If you like turning your head into animals and sending quirky little virtual 
videos (or pictures, if you just tap your fake noggin) to your friends, you're 
in luck. You now get a giraffe, a shark, a warthog, and an owl. 
(Hey, Apple: Open up an "App Store for Animoji" and let other people create 
safe-for-work virtual creations. You could probably make even more services
revenue.)

Siri and Apple TV
Update your Apple TV to tvOS 12.2, and your iOS device(s) to iOS 12.2, and 
you'll be able to control what's on your Apple TV with a lot more granularity. 
As MacRumors notes:
"tvOS 12.2, when paired with iOS 12.2, is designed to allow users to ask Siri 
to play specific media on an Apple TV from an iOS device. You can, for example, 
ask Siri to play Modern Family on the TV in the living room, or Pitch Perfect 
on the TV in the bedroom. This feature is available for music, TV shows, and 
movies." 

That "5G E" icon
If you're an AT subscriber, you might see a new "5G E" icon in the 
upper-right corner of your iPhone. You can now brag to your friends that you 
have an even better mobile connection than they do, and they can remind you 
that "5G E" is just AT's bullshit way to say "faster LTE," since your iPhone 
(as of when we wrote this) doesn't actually support 5G connectivity whatsoever. 
Isn't friendship grand.

Higher-quality audio Messages
This is a simple one, but Apple has boosted the quality of the audio messages 
you leave in Messages by adopting a different codec (Opus) at 24000 Hz instead 
of the previous AMR Narrowband codec at 8000 Hz. Neat.

More specific screen "Downtime"
You can now customize which days and times you want to schedule "Downtime"
via iOS' Screen Time feature. As a reminder, if your phone is in "Downtime"
mode, you'll only be able to use certain apps (you choose) and your device's 
Phone app. That's it. Sorry, Facebook.
 
Group Facetime is back!
Yes, that horrible Group Facetime bug that allowed others to eavesdrop on what 
you were doing is gone, and the feature is back for all to use. Enjoy your 
Brady Bunch-like conversations.

Promotions for subscription apps
Apple is now allowing app developers to offer promotional pricing for 
subscriptions, so you'll want to be a bit more judicious about when you sign up 
for that which you want to pay a recurring fee to access. As Apple's iOS
12.2 release notes describe:
"...apps with auto-renewable subscriptions can provide a discounted price for a 
specific duration for existing and previously subscribed customers.
You can use subscription offers to help win back subscribers who have canceled 
their subscriptions or promote an

The Qardio also has the normal cuff that goes around the upper arm and 
closes with Velcro, a small pack on the outside has some batteries, I think 
AAA, and the electronics which connect it to the app. You start the 
measurement from the app, a small motor inflates the cuff and as is normal 
with electronic blood pressure devices slowly releases the pressure. You can 
get it directly from Qardio or on Amazon, maybe also at Best Buy and places 
like that and probably also from an Apple Store.

RE: Using Be My Eyes

[Cristobal Muñoz]

This ties into something I’ve thought about too. Be My Eyes, AIRA or even 
Facetime for contacts  etc are great and I know with AIRA there are some 
glasses you can buy to use with the service, but is there also something that 
can allow you to stream from your POV other than these AIRA glasses? 

I know people stream via Twitch and Facebook Live and YouTube and so on, but 
I’ve never really paid attention to that whole … lifestyle.

I figured a lanyard may work in some instances, but then you have to take into 
consideration possible jiggling or swaying or general instability if you’re 
moving around.

Anyway, just thinking out loud.

My wife is working on a holder made with clear vinyl with a lanyard that has a 
cord adjustment so you can wear it over the shoulder, or shorten the cord and 
wear it so the camera is at about your sternum so you can use it hands free in 
a store, or when getting help with something in your house. 

The materials cost under $5.

Where I work, people are beginning to use Be My Eyes or Aira in free locations 
where they would not be able to get the glasses.

There are probably cheaper tripods and holders out there, but this one really

Hi Mike,

The Qardio  is a wireless cuff that workds great. When you unroll it to put 
it on it turns on. Then you go to the Qardio app and press the start button 
and it gives you your blood pressure. The app even saves your readings. The 
app is totally accessible. You can get it on Amazon. They have great tech 
support if you have any issues. Oh one more thing, when you roll up the cuff 
it turns itself off. It comes in a nice box to store it.

No, if you’re talking about using a credit card with Apple Pay, you certainly 
can. I don’t even have a debit card in my Apple Pay wallet, but I do have two 
credit cards. And they both work so far as I know. I make fairly regular

Maybe they’ll take a sneak peak at your Apple user profile and if you’ve got 
just one booty old sucker iPhone from X generations ago, you’ll get stuck with 
the higher interest rate where as if you’ve got multiple iOS devices of newer 
generations, they’ll *wink wink* take care of you with the better rate…

Hi Joney,

 

This is not true, according to Apple’s terms for this new card, the 
introductory interest rate has nothing to do with your credit score.

 

This stated directly in their terms and conditions for the card.

Your credit score will determine where do you get 13 or 24% interest. The 
higher your credit score, the lower your interest rate.

If I don’t pay my statement balance in full by the due date I don’t get a

credit cards are high whether they are 13%, 19% or 24%

Especially if you consider how low interest rates still are, I pay less than 3% 
on my mortgage and a line of credit here in Canada is typically anywhere

One of the most interesting announcements from Apple’s event  

 on Monday was the Apple Card. While a number of details  

 about the card were revealed on Monday,  
 TechCrunch is out 
today with a closer look at Apple Card and how it works.

TechCrunch’s Matthew Panzarino explains that the version of Apple Card shown on 
Monday is Apple’s “version 1.” This means that, much like other Apple products, 
the company will be “iterating on the contest with new features and benefits.”

One of the things about Apple Card that Apple touts is that it will offer 
“interest rates that are among the lowest in the industry.” The fine print here 
says that rates will vary between 13 percent and 24 percent, which is rather 
standard in the credit card industry. Panzarino notes of two things Apple will 
be doing to set itself apart here.

For one, there is no “penalty interest rate” on Apple Card. Apple touted on 
stage on Monday that there would be no fees for late payments, which led some 
to speculate that Apple would increase your interest rate if you were late. 
That isn’t the case.

Penalty rates are an increase of your interest rate if you fail to pay on time. 
That is not true. Apple Card has no late fees and no penalty rates. You will 
continue to pay your agreed upon interest rate on your outstanding balance, but 
that rate will not go up. It will impact your credit score, as Apple does do 
standard reporting.

Further, Apple will attempt to “place Apple Card users at the low end of their 
interest rate tier.” This means the company will try to “shift you to the 
bottom of a tier when you qualify” as opposed to having you pay the interest 
rate that correlates exactly to your credit score.

Other details of note include that Apple Card does not require a signature, as 
well as the fact that the physical card has a “fixed number on the mag stripe, 
but you don’t know what it 

Re: Apple Pay

First what I was saying that sending money is limited to using a debit card, 
however I was mistaken. That is soon to be the case, once they release the 
Apple Card ..

 

To send cash to someone..

 

In messages, start a text to them..

 

Then tap on the “Apple Pay” app, if those aren’t visible you will have to 
expend them by tapping on the message apps..

 

Swipe past the other apps, and you should reach a spot for the amount, you can 
flip through a picker, or actually expand out an area to enter an amount.

 

Then swipe down to the pay button ..

 

That will then bring up a similar screen to what you would have if you invoked 
Apple pay at a terminal.

 

Here is where you will see the default card, and if you want you can change to 
that or use other cards..

 

Then either face id .. or touch id .. and the money is off …

RE: Apple Card tidbits: No support for shared accounts, security details, penalty interest rates, more - 9to5Mac

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Ah, that would make sense, and if you buy a new iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch 
every year and are subscribed to Apple Music, News Plus and the new TV service 
maybe they’ll pay you interest instead of charging it?
Anyways, even at 13% it would be stupid to actually use the card for credit 
beyond the payment due date, people need to start realizing that they are 
digging the hole ever deeper if they don’t pay off their full balance by the 
time the payment is due every month. Credit cards are great, you can rack up 
rewards and delay paying for something for close to 6 weeks if you buy an item 
right after your billing date, but they should not be used to carry a balance, 
if you do then you spend more than you can afford and that’s always a bad idea.

Maybe they’ll take a sneak peak at your Apple user profile and if you’ve got 
just one booty old sucker iPhone from X generations ago, you’ll get stuck with 
the higher interest rate where as if you’ve got multiple iOS devices of newer 
generations, they’ll *wink wink* take care of you with the better rate…

Then what does it have to do with? There must be some criteria why you may get 
13% and somebody else gets 24% interest rate.

Hi Joney,

This is not true, according to Apple’s terms for this new card, the 
introductory interest rate has nothing to do with your credit score.

This stated directly in their terms and conditions for the card.

Your credit score will determine where do you get 13 or 24% interest. The 
higher your credit score, the lower your interest rate.

One of the most interesting announcements from Apple’s event on Monday was the 
Apple 
Card.
 While a number of details about the card were 
revealed
 on Monday, TechCrunch 
is out today with a closer look at Apple Card and how it works.
TechCrunch’s Matthew Panzarino explains that the version of Apple Card shown on 
Monday is Apple’s “version 1.” This means that, much like other Apple products, 
the company will be “iterating on the contest with new features and benefits.”
One of the things about Apple Card that Apple touts is that it will offer 
“interest rates that are among the lowest in the industry.” The fine print here 
says that rates will vary between 13 percent and 24 percent, which is rather 
standard in the credit card industry. Panzarino notes of two things Apple will

A lot of shows are broadcast live on YouTube and Tune-In Radio. Both can be 
downloaded as Apps from the App store or you could go directly to the shows web 
site. Facebook will also alert you to a particular person's show that is live 
streaming at a certain hour if you want to be alerted that way, or tend to be 
on Facebook a lot. It will provide the link to the live stream.
I no longer bother with downcast or overcast, I just use the native app on my 
phone to see what is available and subscribe. It is perfectly manageable. And, 
as someone already pointed out, podcasts are prerecorded and air at different 
times. 
For instance you can get Fresh Air and Democracy Now the same day they are 
broadcast in your podcast app , but you won't get other shows, like the Rachel 
Maddow show until the next morning or perhaps later that same evening. You 
could however use Tune-In Radio and subscribe for free to MSNBC and live stream 
any show that is on at any hour of the day.

I am trying to find an accessible app to listen to a podcast as it is being 
streamed, as well as past episodes.
Is this possible?
I have a Overcast, I can find previous episodes of the podcast that I am 
looking for, but I cannot find a way to actually listen to the show in real 
time.
I would appreciate any help and or suggestions.
Also, as a sidenote, how can I check to make sure that I have the latest 
firmware on my Apple AirPods?

Re: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

if possible, have you thought about switching to open water swimming 
instead?
then, you would generally be in larger areas of water, and with fewer people

also, hearing any other people would be easier, thus making avoiding them 
easier as well, as you don't get all of the noise and echoes that plague a

mails via the Airpods and of course there is the issue about not being able to 
adjust the volume on the Airpods other than by using SIRI and I think even then 
you are actually adjusting the phone volume. I recently bought the Aftershokz

RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Simon,



When you talk about open water swimming, do you mean outdoor pools or lakes or 
the ocean?

Of course many of us live in areas where it would be not possible to get to a 
lake or the ocean if it is nearby, without assistance simply because there may 
not be any public transportation going out to a lake that is maybe 10 or 20 Km 
away. Then there is the little issue of climate, maybe you live in a place that 
is warm year-round and where the water in any lakes or the ocean is warm enough 
to swim, but if I wanted to swim in a lake I'd need scuba gear and would have 
to chop a hole in the ice for 6 months of the year, but then again diving under 
the ice would probably not really qualify as swimming, either 藍

Then for 4 out of the other 6 months I would have to wear a wetsuit or risk 
hypothermia!

If the pool is nearby and convenient then I don't think it would be too much to 
ask to have them put in a lane a few times a week if one wants to swim for half 
an hour or even an  hour.



Regards,

Sieghard

Couldn't you ask for a lane to be put in? I find it strange that there is no 
lane swimming during certain times of the day, but I would certainly not 
hesitate to ask, it wouldn't take away from the pool experience of others if 
they put in one single lane along one side of the pool for you.

Are usually swim very  straight. If there is only one other swimmer in the 
pool, I have no problems in avoiding them.
The problem arises when two or more other swimmers enter the pool. I am 
petrified of swimming either into them or having a head-on collision with them! 
 
When I have a buddy outside by the side of the pool, I would put on my AirPods 
and tape them to my year with waterproof tape. I would stay connected to my 
friends iPhone and he would pass instructions on who was swimming in front or 
behind me. Unfortunately I can’t have this arrangement all the time. 
Has anybody ever felt this problem? Is there some way that I can use to avoid 
colliding into anyone in the swimming pool without external help?

RE: inability to manage ringtones using iTunes

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello Robin and Shai,

I don’t know if this has anything to do with any Settings in iTunes, but I 
cannot confirm your problems with ringtones. Yesterday I only tried it while my 
iPhone was connected, but tonight I reconnected it and went to the Tones 
treeview and I was still able to arrow down through the tones I copied 
yesterday and Jaws read them, I deleted one and after saying Yes to the prompt 
whether I wanted remove the item it was gone and the tritone played, I checked 
on my phone and it’s definitely gone.

Best regards,

Hi Robin,

I am not sure what is causing these problems for you, for me managing ringtones 
in this current version of iTunes works as always and Jaws reads the list of 
ringtones on the phone just fine. I can also delete ringtones simply by 
pressing the delete key.
After I saw your message I decided its time to finally put some of my ringtones 
back on my new iPhone 8 which I hadn’t done yet. I opened iTunes and was 
presented with a message that there was an update to version 12.9.4, but I at 
first declined the update to see how it worked in the previous version, I 
forgot now which version that was.
In any case, I was able to copy ringtones to the clipboard, go into the iPhone 
section, go to Tones in the sidebar treeview and tab a few times into the 
treeview where any tones are listed. At first nothing showed because I had 
never put any ringtones on this phone yet. After pressing Control + V I heard 
the tritone iTunes makes when it’s done syncing or has completed another task 
and Jaws read the tone I had just copied to the phone. I repeated this with a 
bunch of other tones, some I copied individually and some I copied in groups of 
4 or 5 at a time and it all worked fine and I could arrow down the treeview and 
Jaws read everything. I copied also a tone I didn’t want and pressing delete 
brought up a prompt asking me if I wanted to delete it.
I then updated iTunes to the version you have, 12.9.4, and I was still able to 
browse through the treeview with Jaws reading the tones and their length, I 
could press enter or space on any of them to play them and also add more and 
delete them.

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else had encountered this issue or could 
duplicate it.
I’ve recently discovered that managing ringtones using iTunes on the windows 
side is a broken mess. I’m using the latest version of iTunes version
12.9.4.102 under Windows 10. And no matter the screen reader in use JFW version 
2019, NVDA 2019 or Narrator the view of tones will appear as though it’s empty 
even if you have tones on your phone. If you copy something to it and the 
screen readers feel like cooperating it might populate and then speak but 
that’s iffy. But more importantly you can’t delete a tone from your device or 
iTunes library. If you hit delete on it nothing happens.  If you right click 
and hit delete in the resulting menu nothing happens. So now you can maybe if 
you’re lucky add a tone to your device but you simply cannot delete a tone.  I 
can’t verify if this issue is present when screen readers aren’t in the mix but 
it’s definitely the case when they’re in use.
If anyone has encountered this and found a fix I’d love to hear. If it can be 
duplicated and you’d like to join me in reporting it to Apple Accessibility 
it’d be greatly appreciated as sometimes greater numbers help when advocating 
or reporting accessibility issues.
Thanks in advance.

Re: inability to manage ringtones using iTunes

[Robin Frost]

Wow lucky you I envy you truly. I’ve tried with the manually manage music 
checked and unchecked as suggested by Apple accessibility and it had no impact. 
As I said here at least we’ve even had a completely clean uninstall and 
reinstall of iTunes with all known files removed but still the problem persists.
Curious what model of iPhone you and Shai are using. One wouldn’t think it’d 
matter but in true detective mode trying to nail down every known variable I 
thought I’d ask.
I’m using both an iPad pro 2018 version and an iPhone XSMax.
So the mystery continues.

Hi,
Whoa that's a mess even when you hit the audio button and select Airpods 
which you shouldn't have to do theoretically if airpods are already in use 
the audio is choppy and by the time it decides to switch over the voice mail 
has often ended.  I wonder if this still afflicts the 2nd generation of 
AirPods too. That is dreadful.

I'm always amazed by how badly the Airpods perform in a couple of areas, 
switching between say an iPhone and a watch is one, now this not playing 
voice mails via the Airpods and of course there is the issue about not being 
able to adjust the volume on the Airpods other than by using SIRI and I 
think even then you are actually adjusting the phone volume. I recently 
bought the Aftershokz Trekz Air and I just tested them with a voice mail and 
everything played through the headset.

  Hi Simon,

   

  When you talk about open water swimming, do you mean outdoor pools or lakes 
or the ocean?

  Of course many of us live in areas where it would be not possible to get to a 
lake or the ocean if it is nearby, without assistance simply because there may 
not be any public transportation going out to a lake that is maybe 10 or 20 Km 
away. Then there is the little issue of climate, maybe you live in a place that 
is warm year-round and where the water in any lakes or the ocean is warm enough 
to swim, but if I wanted to swim in a lake I'd need scuba gear and would have 
to chop a hole in the ice for 6 months of the year, but then again diving under 
the ice would probably not really qualify as swimming, either 藍

  Then for 4 out of the other 6 months I would have to wear a wetsuit or risk 
hypothermia!

  If the pool is nearby and convenient then I don't think it would be too much 
to ask to have them put in a lane a few times a week if one wants to swim for 
half an hour or even an  hour.

   

  Regards,

  Sieghard

  if possible, have you thought about switching to open water swimming instead?

  then, you would generally be in larger areas of water, and with fewer people 
around.

  also, hearing any other people would be easier, thus making avoiding them 
easier as well, as you don't get all of the noise and echoes that plague a lot 
of indoor pools.

Hi Adam,

I found this, thanks to your question.  It exports to Excel, but it was a great 
help to me in sorting out which old contacts were listed just under Company, 
and which were listed by last name.

Since Siri doesn’t know what a company is when you only have the name in the 
Company field, I was able to find those contacts easily and edit them.

It is free, but the Excel file wil have a request to buy the full version of 
LibXL, which I plan to ignore, as that is the developer’s responsibility, since 
he/she apparently is using that to export as Excel.

RE: One more Favorites question.

[Richard Petty]

Thanks for this, Robert. I found your message when searching for a solution to 
a problem.

 

I find when I get to the top of the screen (or the bottom), I lose control of 
proper ordering of the list. I would appreciate any recommendations for 
addressing this.

Yes, dt edit

Dth the reorder button and slowly move it up. It should announce each item as 
you move above it.

When you let it go its in place.

Do this for each item until you get the order you wish

Dt done.

RE: printers

['deidre muccio' via VIPhone]

Ugh. Just looking up the Brother printers which Keith recommended was an 
ordeal. Some of the older models don't have proprietary cartridges but others 
do.  Some have touch screens, some scan, some weigh  as much as 22 pounds. That 
sure is not what I am looking for.

Meanwhile an architect friend says get rid of all paper. digitize everything. 
Are scans really that good or at least snapshots of anything you scan don't 
lie, do they? It's only if you need accurate optical recognition where it gets 
tricky.

The brother printers (say MFC27xx family) do a good job, have a low cost per 
page and there's an app for "airprint" (generically it's got wifi and hardwire 
ethernet).

 

I rather like Epson for color/photograph printing, but any inkjet costs more 
per page than a "laser" printer, and the inkjets tend to clog if you don't 
print regularly.

We've got more than 12 years from an older brother (5250DN) and the toner 
cartridges are the same for the 2700 (low cost generic replacements work well 
too).

Hey all
I've decided it is time to once more own a printer. I use one so little that
I was happy to get rid of the bulk of the last one, but I am also tired of
asking friends to print things for me. I've also packed up my desktop
scanner and miss that too. 
Funny enough, a few weeks ago I needed a copy of a document emailed to a
government agency and I was able to scan it then email it, a first for me. I
was incredibly pleased that the letter scanned well and was considered just
as legitimate as an original document.
Is a "airprint capable printer" more desirable than a wireless printer?
Would the menus on the phone be just as easy to use as those from a document
on a PC?
I want something streamlined.
I imagine the topic of printers and i Phones has been discussed in
full and exists in archives, but getting into the group through google is
not fun.
