Re: Superfast charging Battery was: The iCloud Keychain, I Think I'm Beginning to Like It
A different techy might correct me, but chargers deliver different ampage levels for different size devices. The device will take whatever ampage it can handle, or all there is, if that is less. So, an iPhone is only going to take what it needs, the rest is superfluous and unused. The Apple iPhone chargers should provide the max the iPhone can take, cheaper ones probably less, and thus device would charge slower on those. That then means that device would charge faster when higher ampage is available, but not by as much as one might think. I.e: if an iPhone charger can give 2amps; and an iPad charger offer 5amps, you can't and shouldn't expect the iPhone to charge in less than half the time off the iPad charger. Those multi-charger units you can buy are the same except they can give 10-20amps, and have several usb slots to connect your devices to. Anybody to clarify or contradict this?

Re: Superfast charging Battery was: The iCloud Keychain, I Think I'm Beginning to Like It
I think we are confusing a detail:- The battery pack device is what charges or is charged super-fast, it charges your devices normally. The charging circuit in your device controls that. - Original Message - From: Ron Pelletier ron.pellet...@sympatico.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2014 2:07 AM Subject: RE: Superfast charging Battery was: The iCloud Keychain, I Think I'm Beginning to Like It Hi Arnold, Perhaps I am being as paranoid as you are but I wouldn't do it.

A Few Backup Questions
Hi all, I'll be taking advantage of the recently announced program to get a free battery replacement for my iPhone5. There's no Apple Store nearby, though, so I'll be sending my device to Apple and will therefore be without it for up to ten days. My mother, who got her phone at the same time I did, will be doing the same thing. I have an iPod Touch I can use; if we take turns, we can each use the Touch while our phones are away, and activate an old flip phone for actually making phone calls and texting non-iCloud people. All that said, here are my questions regarding backing up our phones, and later, getting them back. 1. Can an iPhone5 iCloud backup be restored to the iPod Touch? That way whoever is using the iPod can have their apps and data without having to manually download everything. 2. Is there anything special about backing up with iTunes, or will an iCloud backup be fine for restoring when the iPhones come back? 3. There's a chance I can use an iPhone4 instead of the iPod. Will backups work on that (see question 1)? 4. Is there anything else I need to know about backups for this situation? Thanks for any help/information anyone can offer. I'll send a separate email soon with details on the battery replacement program for anyone interested. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

The page link is after the text. iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program Apple has determined that a very small percentage of iPhone 5 devices may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be charged more frequently. The affected iPhone 5 devices were sold between September 2012 and January 2013 and fall within a limited serial number range. If your iPhone 5 is experiencing these symptoms and meets the eligibility requirements noted below, Apple will replace your iPhone 5 battery, free of charge. https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/ -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: A Few Backup Questions
Hi Alex, I would do an encrypted backup via iTunes and restore from it when your iPhones come back. It is not recommended to restore an iPhone backup to an iPod Touch. Yes, both devices run iOS, but the hardware is very different and according to Apple Restoring an iPhone backup to an iPod touch may result in unexpected behavior on the iPod touch (such as the device resetting repeatedly). Here is a short article where this comes from and while the support article is from 2009, I have seen newere references that this is still the same. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2624?viewlocale=en_US As for restoring your iPhone 5 backup to an iPhone 4 this should not be a problem. Also, Mark recently replied to one of my posts where I mentioned the encrypted backup and he pointed out that in his opinion a regular backup also backed up passwords and all of the same information. This is, however, not the case. The main difference between a regular and an encrypted backup si that the encrypted backup also backs up your keychain and allows it to be restored to a different device. If you don't encrypt the backup the keychain will restore to the same device, but not to a new device. Mark, if you read this I suggest you start using the encrypted backup option especially since you said you are starting to like how keychain works. If you get a new iPhone at some point and you don't encrypt your backup you'll not get that data restored.

Thank you, that helps. My only other question: will enabling local backups do anything to iCloud? As I recall, you have to choose one or the other, you can't do both at once.

Re: A Few Backup Questions

Re: $0.79 iPhone 5c's at Wal-Mart, with 2-year contract
Why are you guessing this will be the case Sieghard? Are you thinking that when the iPhone 6 comes out, the 5s will become free with a contract? If so, I don't think this was the case in the past.

Taylor Sent: Friday, August 22, 2014 2:50 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: The iCloud Keychain, I Think I'm Beginning to Like It Hello Traci, 1Password and the keychain serve two different purposes, effectively. As far as I know, one cannot easily retrieve stored info from the keychain, I mean it can be done, but not on the fly. Also, the key chain's primary purpose, as I understand it, is to facilitate security convenience between one's various Apple products and the outside world, as it were. 1Password, however, in its accessible version as far as we're concerned, allows one to quickly look up and/or generate various passwords and/or credentials. I use 1Password, primarily, as a secure way of storing my credit card numbers, various ID info, and so forth on the phone so I can quickly retrieve them on the fly. In recent releases, I do believe 1Password is seeking to expand its functionality in becoming a one-stop security solution. For me, though, I only use it on my phone and only to store info, written on the various cards that I carry on my person. Finally, although the iCloud Keychain did facilitate a smooth transition from one device to another, I have not nor do I plan to allow it to store any of my passwords or credit card info; if, for no other reason, than that I don't want to forget them just in case I am on a Windows computer as I am most of the time.

I would be lying if I stated that I totally understand all of the nuances of the keychain but, somewhere along the line I must have enabled security authorization from my iPhone.

The Voice Over Accessibility of 1 Password
Hello Steve, I changed the Subject line of this thread to more accurately reflect our dialog. To be honest, I am a big fan of 1 Password for iOS. However, I am a long-time user and am familiar with all of the various nuances of the app. The currently released version, while usable with VoiceOver is probably not for anyone who does not consider themselves to be a intermediate to advanced VoiceOver user. Some problems with the currently released version, for example, is that characters are not echoed as they are being entered into certain fields. Having said this, I am a beta tester and the makers of the app are making it more VoiceOver friendly, as it used to be in days gone by. However, since the announcement of iOS ate, the developers have required that all beta testers use the beta of iOS 8.

Taylor Sent: Friday, August 22, 2014 2:50 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: The iCloud Keychain, I Think I'm Beginning to Like It Hello Traci, 1Password and the keychain serve two different purposes, effectively. As far as I know, one cannot easily retrieve stored info from the keychain, I mean it can be done, but not on the fly. Also, the key chain's primary purpose, as I understand it, is to facilitate security convenience between one's various Apple products and the outside world, as it were. 1Password, however, in its accessible version as far as we're concerned, allows one to quickly look up and/or generate various passwords and/or credentials. I use 1Password, primarily, as a secure way of storing my credit card numbers, various ID info, and so forth on the phone so I can quickly retrieve them on the fly. In recent releases, I do believe 1Password is seeking to expand its functionality in becoming a one-stop security solution. For me, though, I only use it on my phone and only to store info, written on the various cards that I carry on my person. Finally, although the iCloud Keychain did facilitate a smooth transition from one device to another, I have not nor do I plan to allow it to store any of my passwords or credit card info; if, for no other reason, than that I don't want to forget them just in case I am on a Windows computer as I am most of the time.

Re: A Few Backup Questions
Hi Alex, I just wanted to add one thing since your backup questions have been answered by now. I'm not sure whether this particular battery replacement program would qualify, but sometimes you can call Apple and request an advanced exchange. This is where they ship out a new device and then you ship yours back to them upon receiving the new device. There is a fee for this; I believe it is $35 but free under AppleCare Plus, and you receive everything you need to ship the old phone back to Apple. Again, not sure if they would offer this to you, but it's something you could call to ask about. Of course, you might prefer to keep your original phone, but I don't think that's necessarily a guarantee even if you ship your phone in first. I've read some material on Apple.com that indicates there is no guarantee whether you would get your original device back or a new one when you send it in for repairs. The advance exchange program may well have changed or been discontinued, but I was offered this option once.

My mother, who got her phone at the same time I did, will be doing the same thing. I have an iPod Touch I can use; if we take turns, we can each use the Touch while our phones are away, and activate an old flip phone for actually making phone calls and texting non-iCloud people. All that said, here are my questions regarding backing up our phones, and later, getting them back. 1. Can an iPhone5 iCloud backup be restored to the iPod Touch? That way whoever is using the iPod can have their apps and data without having to manually download everything. 2. Is there anything special about backing up with iTunes, or will an iCloud backup be fine for restoring when the iPhones come back? 3. There's a chance I can use an iPhone4 instead of the iPod. Will backups work on that (see question 1)? 4. Is there anything else I need to know about backups for this situation? Thanks for any help/information anyone can offer.

Re: A question regarding the volume of my ringer and VoiceOver
I would try shutting down my iPhone, waiting a bit and then turning it back on again. I had this strange problem last night. All of a sudden, my iPhone 5s went silent. I knew there was around three quarters battery power left in the can so that wasn't the issue. Then I turned on my Bluetooth ear peace and it connected to my phone. I could hear voice over fine but not through my 5s. So, I shut down my phone, waited a bit and fired it back up. All returned to normal. That was the first time I have seen anything like that sense I bought my 5s last October 20. Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2014! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents?

Re: Forwarding a text message from the i phone
Find the text (not the thread, but the message inside the thread). Once VO is reading it, turn the rotor to actions, flick up or down to more, and double tap. Two buttons will appear at the bottom of the screen; the one on the right is forward. Double tap that, choose the recipient like normal, and hit send.

Re: Forwarding a text message from the i phone
Hi Terri, find the Messages app (normally at the top-left on the first page of the home screen) and double-tap to open it. If you are in the list of conversations, locate the one you want and double-tap to open it. If you are already in the right conversation, you can skip this step. If you are in another conversation (that you don't want to forward), you'll need to find the back button near the top-left of the window and double-tap on it to return to the list of conversations, then open the right one as I described above. Find a message that you want to forward and double-tap and hold on it. A menu will appear, slightly above the message. You might have to explore the screen to locate it. Choose the more button and double-tap on it. You can now select more messages if you want by double-tapping on them. Now near the bottom of the screen you'll find a forward button. You will now be in a new conversation with all the messages you selected all ready to forward. Enter a contact name or phone number in the to field and send the message as you would normally.

Re: importing mail account details to my iPad Mini
Hello, Am I right that your mail accounts are on your computer and you want them on your iPad? If so, are you using a Mac or a PC? If a Mac, sync the accounts with iCloud, and then sync mail with iCloud on your iPad, and everything should be copied across. If you're using a Windows machine, do you have Outlook? If so, you can download the iCloud control panel (I think that's at www.icloud.com), and use it to sync Outlook with iCloud. Then the account info should be copied to your iPad if you also set it to sync with iCloud.

Lay the device in the palm of your hand. You want the slanted side facing up toward your fingertips. If that part makes since, we are doing well. This is the orientation we want the device in for everything else. For charging, I use my small iPhone block or a low voltage bluetooth charger. I plug in the fitbit charging cable into my iPhone block. Lay the charging cradle in the palm of your hand. The USB end pointing at your wrist, the cradle end toward your fingertips. There is pronounced ridges on the base of the cradle, this is the correct side up. The fitbit device slides right into the cradle. Again, slanted side up as I described earlier. Lol, hopefully I'm doing ok here. Onto the flex band... No matter which wrist you choose, the plastic viewing window is always on the outer side of your wrist. The slanted end of the fitbit has the lights, so you want those to show upwards inside the band. Putting the device in the band takes some practice a bit of wiggling. I slip that slanted side upwards first, then with a little pushing and riggling, it slips into place. Good luck!

Re: A question regarding the volume of my ringer and VoiceOver
Hi Richard, Thanks for the suggestion, but guess I must be not doing something correctly. When you do anything with the volume it silences the ringer so even when VO gets turned up, when I try it, the volume is still very low when the ringer sounds. Grrr! So far I haven't thrown my phone or begun pulling my hair out quite yet. LOL!

Try going into settings/sounds and turn off sound check. This helped me with my ringer volume. My VO volume was fine. My ringer would drop down to 10 percent volume or lower for no clear reason.

Re: importing mail account details to my iPad Mini
Hi guys, I apologize. I thought sure that what I said would work, but I hadn't tested it. I just did some googling, and it doesn't look like you have any option but to enter each account manually.

RE: A question regarding the volume of my ringer and VoiceOver
Under Settings, Sounds, make sure it says, change with button, off. That way your ringer volume is only change there in settings. Then, see if turning the volume up while voiceover is speaking makes a difference. My guess is your ringer volume is changing with the buttons.

Lay the device in the palm of your hand. You want the slanted side facing up toward your fingertips. If that part makes since, we are doing well. This is the orientation we want the device in for everything else. For charging, I use my small iPhone block or a low voltage bluetooth charger. I plug in the fitbit charging cable into my iPhone block. Lay the charging cradle in the palm of your hand. The USB end pointing at your wrist, the cradle end toward your fingertips. There is pronounced ridges on the base of the cradle, this is the correct side up. The fitbit device slides right into the cradle. Again, slanted side up as I described earlier. Lol, hopefully I'm doing ok here. Onto the flex band... No matter which wrist you choose, the plastic viewing window is always on the outer side of your wrist. The slanted end of the fitbit has the lights, so you want those to show upwards inside the band. Putting the device in the band takes some practice a bit of wiggling. I slip that slanted side upwards first, then with a little pushing and riggling, it slips into place. Good luck!

RE: A question regarding the volume of my ringer and VoiceOver
Ann, this probably won't result in anything different from what you've already tried, but have you tried correcting the VoiceOver volume using the volume setting in the rotor? I would suggest you adjust your volume to the desired setting using volume in the rotor. Then go to your home screen and start VO reading everything there with a 2-finger swipe up to test it and see if it messes up again when you call the phone from your home phone. Good luck.

In the resulting dialog, tab down and change from send me an email for every new message to don't send me emails. I'm using Orca and Firefox with no problem, but I don't know how accessible this is with other screen reader and browser combinations.

RE: The iCloud Keychain, I Think I'm Beginning to Like It
Hi Steve, What did you find frustrating with Roboform? I have been a Roboform user for probably 10 or 12 years and for the last few years I am using Roboform Everywhere which syncs my passwords, SafeNotes and other information between all my computers and my iPhone. For a little while Roboform lost a bit of accessibility, but as far as I can tell it's all good again now and I really like Roboform a lot.

Taylor Sent: Friday, August 22, 2014 2:50 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: The iCloud Keychain, I Think I'm Beginning to Like It Hello Traci, 1Password and the keychain serve two different purposes, effectively. As far as I know, one cannot easily retrieve stored info from the keychain, I mean it can be done, but not on the fly. Also, the key chain's primary purpose, as I understand it, is to facilitate security convenience between one's various Apple products and the outside world, as it were. 1Password, however, in its accessible version as far as we're concerned, allows one to quickly look up and/or generate various passwords and/or credentials. I use 1Password, primarily, as a secure way of storing my credit card numbers, various ID info, and so forth on the phone so I can quickly retrieve them on the fly. In recent releases, I do believe 1Password is seeking to expand its functionality in becoming a one-stop security solution. For me, though, I only use it on my phone and only to store info, written on the various cards that I carry on my person. Finally, although the iCloud Keychain did facilitate a smooth transition from one device to another, I have not nor do I plan to allow it to store any of my passwords or credit card info; if, for no other reason, than that I don't want to forget them just in case I am on a Windows computer as I am most of the time.

I've been interested in activating iCloud keychain on my phone. I greatly enjoy it on my Mac.

We created a Microsoft account for her and did some setup before deciding to return that laptop and get a more powerful model. When we setup the new laptop the experience was almost exactly what you described below. We entered her Microsoft account information, a pass code was sent to her email and when she entered that passcode into her new Windows machine, her account was setup, her email was configured, her apps were downloaded and so on.

One of my greatest concerns, being a Windows user, was the difficulty I would encounter transferring the contents including passwords and system preferences from my old MacBook to the new one. Now I have used the Migration Assistant in the past, when assisting friends, but not without some minor problems said problems including duplicated user account errors, etc. Before purchasing the new Mac, I decided to configure and enable the keychain on both my iPhone and my old Mac. I would be lying if I stated that I totally understand all of the nuances of the keychain but, somewhere along the line I must have enabled security authorization from my iPhone. As a result, during the setup process on the new Mac, I was asked to enter my iCloud keychain security code. Upon doing this, I was sent a verification code via SMS to my iPhone. Upon entering this verification code into the new Mac, everything, and I mean everything was configured as it was on the old Mac. The migration was flawless and, unlike on my beloved Microsoft Windows, painless as well.
