Hello, prior to me doing the update, the money reader was working for me 
too, I am using an iPhone 5s iOS 8.1, and now the app doesn't work at all, 
deleting, and reinstalling doesn't work either.
My solution for me, is that I am going to  restore from a back up that I did 
last week, using iTunes.

I had used it fine before this app update.
So, now I wish I hadn't updated.

Hi,

Unfortunately, reinstalling does not make MoneyReader open for me. Even 
doing a reset on the phone doesn’t help. Looks like Looktel has a bug that 
at least keeps the app from opening for several of us.

Re: PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET THINGS OFF MY PHONE

2014-11-14 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Using the double tap and hold option on your phone to delete an app may 
run you into the IOS 8 bug where you can't always delete an app in the 
bottom row of a home page. There are some work arounds for this 
discussed on this list so you may be able to find more information in 
the archives.


This is the only way I've ever tried to remove an app from my iPhone, so 
I can't help with your other issues.

Hi Eden,

If you want to manage apps on your phone with iTunes you simply hook
up your device and then go to your device, tab to the list view and
the second item after Summary is Apps.
Use F6 or multiple presses of the tab key to get to where Jaws says
Apps table Treeview.
Now you can arrow down through all your apps in iTunes and check or
uncheck them. Those you check get synced to your phone and those that
are not checked don't. If they were checked and you clear the
checkmark they will get removed.
When you are done tab to Apply or go to File, Devices and select
Sync.

If I want to remove multiple apps or put multiple apps back on my
phone I find this much more efficient than deleting them from my phone
one by one.

As for getting crap off your phone, I suggest you use a damp cloth
and to make sure to wash your hands after using the facilities *smile*.

OK, joking aside, you really should be more specific as to what
exactly you want to accomplish.

I suspect you ran into iTunes Radio. This is a streaming radio service

much data it takes if you're streaming over cellular but maybe this 
information is on the web somewhere or someone else can post it.

Ok, I was playing with Itunes on the computer, and I noticed all these

radio by artist, but they have lots of other channels where you can't
skip but listen but lots of stuff I like so kind of confused.

Also, if i am out streaming music using cell can it be done for one
thing, and I hear it uses a lot of data, for example any clue how much
data to stream for an hour, I am not out that much, but most of my music
is not downloaded right now.  Thanks.

Re: iOS7 Updates

2014-11-14 Thread Christopher Chaltain
For the most part, I don't have a problem with IOS 8.1 on my 4S other 
than those bugs reported across all devices. The only real time I see a 
performance issue is when I pull up complex emails, such as groups I'm 
subscribed to through LinkedIn. That being said, I'd recommend waiting a 
bit longer for IOS 8.1.1. This is supposed to specifically address some 
issues with older devices and hopefully we'll see some fixes to these 
VoiceOver bugs all iPhone users are running into.

Hi Christopher,

I'm not sure what you're saying below, but if you're saying someone shouldn't 
upgrade their iPhone 4S to IOS 8 then I would say that depends. There are new 
features in IOS 8 that are supported on the 4S that someone may want to take 
advantage of. From following this list, I'm not aware of any bugs I'm seeing on 
my 4S that are specific to the 4S. As near as I can tell, I'm hitting the same 
bugs everyone else is on all devices. IOS 8.1.1 is also supposed to address 
issues on older devices, so that may be the version of IOS 8 to move to, 
assuming they also fix some of these VoiceOver bugs. So, I'd agree, if it isn't 
broken don't fix it, but if you want to  take advantage of features like family 
sharing, braille input and so on then go ahead and update at some point.

You're right in that the 8 prefix supercedes the 7 and all other prefixes.
7.1.2 was the last of those and worth sticking with until you feel
comfortable enough to chance 8. That is almost certainly as far as you
should ever take a 4S; and if it's working Ok now and you don't need
more new or updated apps,  there's no real reason to update it at all really.

Seeking iPhone 6 Perspectives - 64GB or 128GB

2014-11-14 Thread Bill Gallik

OK Gang;

I'm debating whether to upgrade to a 64GB or 128GB iPhone 6; I am totally 
blind so most likely will not be loading many photos on this new device (I 
now have 5 still pictures on my iPhone 5).  I cannot justify going with the 
iPhone 6+ given that the only real advantage over the 6 for me would be 
the longer battery life, but whether to go with the 64 or 128 GB iPhone 6 is 
an unresolved question in my mind.  Usually, I don't have much trouble 
making such decisions, but if there isn't any solid benefit to spending the 
extra $100 on 128GB then I believe the 64GB would be plenty (my current 
iPhone 5 has 32GB).


BTW: 16GB is out of the question -- my iPhone 5 with 32GB is at near 17GB 
free memory now as it is and with additional features available with the 
iPhone 6 I can't imagine having a very responsive device at 16GB.

Re: PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET THINGS OFF MY PHONE

2014-11-14 Thread Flor Lynch
On your phone, Go into: Settings; General; usage; manage Storage, (and 
select your iPhone in the manage Storage options); Swipe to your 
MoneyReader that you want to delete, and double-tap on it. You will then 
be asked to confirm that you want to delete. Again Double-tap.

I had an unusual experience this evening. I was going to try and find 
the

Money reader app, so, I tried to uninstall the old non-working version.
first I tried deleting it from my phone. I double tapped and held, and 
it
made the correct sound. I then flicked to delete, and double tapped 
that,
but it wouldn't delete. Next, I tried deleting it from my iTunes 
Library,
and got a dialog asking me if I was sure I wanted to delete the app from 
my
iTunes Library. I hit yes, then it said the app could not be deleted 
from my

phone, even though I deleted it from my Library. I synced it anyway, and
sure enough, it was still there. totally weird! So went my adventures

to get stuff off my phone.

Hi Eden,

If you want to manage apps on your phone with iTunes you simply hook 
up your device and then go to your device, tab to the list view and 
the second item after Summary is Apps.
Use F6 or multiple presses of the tab key to get to where Jaws says 
Apps table Treeview.
Now you can arrow down through all your apps in iTunes and check or 
uncheck them. Those you check get synced to your phone and those that 
are not checked don't. If they were checked and you clear the 
checkmark they will get removed.
When you are done tab to Apply or go to File, Devices and select 
Sync.


If I want to remove multiple apps or put multiple apps back on my 
phone I find this much more efficient than deleting them from my phone 
one by one.


As for getting crap off your phone, I suggest you use a damp cloth 
and to make sure to wash your hands after using the facilities 
*smile*.


OK, joking aside, you really should be more specific as to what 
exactly you want to accomplish.

Re: Seeking iPhone 6 Perspectives - 64GB or 128GB

2014-11-14 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

Go for a 64GB. I was sort of in the same position as you in as much as
I previously had a 32GB 4S before I upgraded; 16GB simply isn't enough
for me but I find 64GB to be a bit overkill. It's strange to think
that I hnow have a device in my pocket that has 6.4 times the capacity
of my first ever computers hard drive.

Cheers,

Re: ITUNES 12, STILL NOT SUCCEEDING - MORE HELP, PLEASE!

2014-11-14 Thread carol.pearso...@googlemail.com
I've now heard the podcast and got it into my mind how useful those keystrokes 
can be.

I hadn't realised though that, now I've made a playlist then added it to my 
phone as a playlist, I now have an album which (because it's in the 
Complilations (the Best of) in Itunes it doesn't show up under the artist's 
name.  The rest in that playlist do show up correctly.  Must I live with this 
or can I do anything to show that this album is by a certain artist?

In addition, if I choose to delete the playlist from my phone or computer, do I 
keep the tracks and artists intact on the phone and computer?

I'd like to understand a little more on this so that I make the right choices.

Thanks for any further additional explanations you or anyone else can give on 
this senario.

  Start by pressing control 1 to make sure that you are in the music library.

  Next, press control F to go to the search box.

  Hit F6 and this will bring you to a tree view.

  Arrow down until you get to your playlist.

  F6 until you get to the list of songs in the playlist.

If I could, let me suggest that the easiest way for me to manage the music 
I want on my iPhone is to make a playlist of the songs that I want.

Then, when it comes to sync time. I just select the playlist I want.

You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to add 
to playlist and direct it to your playlist.

If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when you 
are focused on the playlist song list.

 

Hope this helps,

Hi all,

 

Apologies for yet another ITunes question, but I admit I'm hopeless with 
this app , but I must use it and am trying really hard to like it, just a 
little.

 

However, I'm not succeeding in carrying out the task of putting further 
music onto my IPhone.  I haven't done it for some months but now am ripping 
more of our music selection ... and doing OK there.

 

However, I can't remember how to select some items of music and not others 
and, whilst my PC (with Jaws) will say Selected if I shift+down arrow, I 
don't recall this was the way to do it in ITunes and when I go back to check 
what I've selected, it seems I have nothing selected.

 

Please help if you can.

 

Thanks.

Re: Seeking iPhone 6 Perspectives - 64GB or 128GB

2014-11-14 Thread Andy Baracco
Photos, music, and books are what take up space. If you do not have a lot of 
any of those, 128 doesn't give you anything except a higher price. I have a 
32 GB iPhone 5, and am not anywhere near close to filling it. For the vast 
majority of folks, I think that 64 GB is more than adequate.

THE MISSING APP!

2014-11-14 Thread carol.pearso...@googlemail.com
We've discussed the fact that apps don't move very well at least on one part of 
the screen in the first page of the IPhone.  Well, in endeavouring to move a 
particular app, I now find I cannot locate it with a finger or flick anywhere 
on my system.  The only way I can get it to open (though not find it) is to ask 
Siri to open it.  I then cannot tell where it is hidden!  Smiles

I've cleared the app switcher and rebooted.  Now, what else can I do, because I 
can't even delete and install again, since I can't locate it!  Smiles

Any advice most welcome!

IPOD NOT SHOWING WHEN PLUGGED INTO PC

2014-11-14 Thread carol.pearso...@googlemail.com
I recently set my ipod up again as a new device and made sure that it was 
listed in the items onto which I could place music.  The first time I put music 
onto the pod it worked fine but then, when I went to sync once again, it just 
didn't show up.

Anyone know how to solve this one, please?

Re: THE MISSING APP!

It will still show up under settings/general/useage, manage storage;  and 
you can also do the rotor round to braille, start typing, and it will come 
up in that list without resorting to Siri.

RobH. Still don't know how to find it though, apart from digging in all the 
folders you find, just in case!

We've discussed the fact that apps don't move very well at least on one part 
of the screen in the first page of the IPhone.  Well, in endeavouring to 
move a particular app, I now find I cannot locate it with a finger or flick 
anywhere on my system.  The only way I can get it to open (though not find 
it) is to ask Siri to open it.  I then cannot tell where it is hidden!

I've cleared the app switcher and rebooted.  Now, what else can I do, 
because I can't even delete and install again, since I can't locate it!

Any advice most welcome!

It would be interesting to know if you erased the label but the app is
still on the screen. Also, you can always erase and reinstall the app
using iTunes on the computer.

  Then, when it comes to sync time. I just select the playlist I want.

  You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to add to 
playlist and direct it to your playlist.

  If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when you are 
focused on the playlist song list.

  Apologies for yet another ITunes question, but I admit I'm hopeless with this 
app , but I must use it and am trying really hard to like it, just a little.

   

  However, I'm not succeeding in carrying out the task of putting further music 
onto my IPhone.  I haven't done it for some months but now am ripping more of 
our music selection ... and doing OK there.

   

  However, I can't remember how to select some items of music and not others 
and, whilst my PC (with Jaws) will say Selected if I shift+down arrow, I 
don't recall this was the way to do it in ITunes and when I go back to check 
what I've selected, it seems I have nothing selected.

   

  Please help if you can.

   

  Thanks.

Re: Voice Dream on IOS8

2014-11-14 Thread Russ Kiehne
If you use Safari, be aware of the following issue with Ios 8.1:
When you activate any link on any web page in Safari when running Voiceover,
the moment you activate the Back button or use two–finger scrub, complete
instability occurs, it is not possible to flick through the content of the
page, no links or headings typically are being reported in the rotor, and the
page is generally just not navigable in any way.

Subject: Voice Dream on IOS8

Hi,

With some of the VO bugs fixed, I am thinking about going ahead and making the 
jump to IOS8, if I can convince myself that it won’t overwhelm my 4s.  I am 
curious about what experience people have had with Voice Dream Reader on IOS8 
because I use Voice Dream very extensively.  If I remember correctly, at one 
time, the Acapella voices did not work with IOS8.  Has that issue been fixed?

Thanks,

Scott Duck

RE: Apple TV

2014-11-14 Thread David Redman
Apple tv is only a streaming device. There is no ability to record programs. 
There is an espn app but you have to have a cable or satellite account in order 
to use their streaming service. 

I’ve always thought it would be great if Apple could make the next generation 
of apple tv including a dvr so recording would be possible.

Re: ITUNES 12, STILL NOT SUCCEEDING - MORE HELP, PLEASE!

2014-11-14 Thread Wayne Merritt
Carol,
I've got iTunes set to sync all songs in my library, but I've also
created a playlist like you did. Anyway, I have a good number of
compolation albums in my collection where the artist doesn't always
show up in the list of artists. I find these particular songs by
tabbing or using F6 to get to the search box and entering part or all
of the artist's name or the song title. Then I can use tab or F6 to
get back to the list of possible matches. This usually works for me.
I've worked a lot with iTunes, but i know about enough to be dangerous
and no more. In other words, I'm right there with you, grin.

 I want on my iPhone is to make a playlist of the songs that I want.

   Then, when it comes to sync time. I just select the playlist I want.

   You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to add
 to playlist and direct it to your playlist.

   If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when you
 are focused on the playlist song list.



   Hope this helps,

   Apologies for yet another ITunes question, but I admit I'm hopeless with
 this app , but I must use it and am trying really hard to like it, just a
 little.



   However, I'm not succeeding in carrying out the task of putting further
 music onto my IPhone.  I haven't done it for some months but now am ripping
 more of our music selection ... and doing OK there.



   However, I can't remember how to select some items of music and not others
 and, whilst my PC (with Jaws) will say Selected if I shift+down arrow, I
 don't recall this was the way to do it in ITunes and when I go back to check
 what I've selected, it seems I have nothing selected.



   Please help if you can.



   Thanks.

Hi Scott,

 

Just a thought, but iOS 8.1.1 is going to specifically improve the performance 
of iOS 8 on older devices such as the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and I think it is 
basically just around the corner. Why not wait a bit longer and then update 
straight to iOS 8.1.1 instead of updating to 8.1 now and then maybe in a few 
days you’ll have to update again.

I just listened to the Today in iOS Podcast and Rob also thinks that iOS 8.1.1 
could come out any day now. My guess is that it might be next week or maybe the 
week after so updating once to a version which specifically addresses the 
performance on your device makes sense to me. If you got along with 7.1.2 until 
now another week or two shouldn’t matter, right?

I still don't see how the phone can switch like that, so long as it is kept 
relatively still. Remember that the orientation is in relation to the ground, 
not to your body. For instance, if you were leaning back and had the phone on 
your stomach, the orientation might switch because, to the phone's sensor, it 
is at an angle.

Hi Scott,

 

Just a thought, but iOS 8.1.1 is going to specifically improve the performance 
of iOS 8 on older devices such as the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and I think it is 
basically just around the corner. Why not wait a bit longer and then update 
straight to iOS 8.1.1 instead of updating to 8.1 now and then maybe in a few 
days you’ll have to update again.

I just listened to the Today in iOS Podcast and Rob also thinks that iOS 8.1.1 
could come out any day now. My guess is that it might be next week or maybe the 
week after so updating once to a version which specifically addresses the 
performance on your device makes sense to me. If you got along with 7.1.2 until 
now another week or two shouldn’t matter, right?

Sieghard

Hi,

With some of the VO bugs fixed, I am thinking about going ahead and making the

curious about what experience people have had with Voice Dream Reader on IOS8 
because I use Voice Dream very extensively.  If I remember correctly, at one 
time, the Acapella voices did not work with IOS8.  Has that issue been fixed?

Thanks,

Photos, music, and books are what take up space. If you do not have a lot of 
any of those, 128 doesn't give you anything except a higher price. I have a
32 GB iPhone 5, and am not anywhere near close to filling it. For the vast

OK Gang;

I'm debating whether to upgrade to a 64GB or 128GB iPhone 6; I am totally blind 
so most likely will not be loading many photos on this new device (I now have 5 
still pictures on my iPhone 5).  I cannot justify going with the iPhone 6+ 
given that the only real advantage over the 6 for me would be the longer 
battery life, but whether to go with the 64 or 128 GB iPhone 6 is an unresolved 
question in my mind.  Usually, I don't have much trouble making such decisions, 
but if there isn't any solid benefit to spending the extra $100 on 128GB then I 
believe the 64GB would be plenty (my current iPhone 5 has 32GB).

BTW: 16GB is out of the question -- my iPhone 5 with 32GB is at near 17GB free 
memory now as it is and with additional features available with the iPhone 6 I 
can't imagine having a very responsive device at 16GB.

Re: Dark Sky verses native Weather app

2014-11-14 Thread Robin Frost

Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each has 
different features which I happen to like. for instance some do severe 
weather alerts better than do others via push notification as one example. 
where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push notification 
alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start falling.  It is also 
quite specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light rain, and such.  This will 
be my first Winter with it so I'm assuming it'd alert for the more frozen 
variety's of precipitation as well but haven't yet experienced it myself. 
I've found it to be quite accurate in these alerts.  If the alert doesn't 
coincide exactly with the start of the precipitation it usually commences 
within 20 minutes.
I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an invaluable 
resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather started.  I myself 
am not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate the alerting 
capabilities it offers.
I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of any 
weather related events which is why I have so many others along with it.


I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the app. 
I hope that helps.

Robin

Re: Dark Sky verses native Weather app

2014-11-14 Thread Jessica Dail
Does it have the option to alert to severe weather? Are the notifications 
audible? 
Can you save weather for multiple cities? Is there a limit? Right now I am 
using weather alert USA. I like that app. But, if I must restore my phone, I 
must also put back all of the information into this app. This is extremely 
time-consuming.
The weather Channel will do this but the notifications are silent. It never 
makes a sound. The only way to know if you have an alert, is for voiceover to 
read the lock screen.

In case this isn’t showing up as an update yet (it didn’t for me), below is a 
reply I received from LookTel which contains the app store link for a new 
update they released today. This update fixed all issues for me and Money 
Reader is now working again on my 5S. Definitely a very fast response and I 
think LookTel deserves credit for handling this so quickly and professionally. 
Below is the entire email including the link.

 

Dear Sieghard,


We are pleased to announce that an update to the LookTel Money Reader (version 
2.4.2) has been released to the App Store with improved iOS 7 and 8 support. 

 

You can find the update at the link below:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/looktel-money-reader/id417476558?mt=8

 

Thank you for your patience,

The LookTel Team

Re: Seeking iPhone 6 Perspectives - 64GB or 128GB

2014-11-14 Thread John Diakogeorgiou
I agree with your comment. I have a 128 with more than half full.
However, if someone doesn't have the money and they don't install a
lot of media like I do, then it's not worth the $100.

 Photos, music, and books are what take up space. If you do not have a lot of
 any of those, 128 doesn't give you anything except a higher price. I have a
 32 GB iPhone 5, and am not anywhere near close to filling it. For the vast
 majority of folks, I think that 64 GB is more than adequate.

 Subject: Seeking iPhone 6 Perspectives - 64GB or 128GB

 OK Gang;

 I'm debating whether to upgrade to a 64GB or 128GB iPhone 6; I am totally
 blind so most likely will not be loading many photos on this new device (I
 now have 5 still pictures on my iPhone 5).  I cannot justify going with the
 iPhone 6+ given that the only real advantage over the 6 for me would be
 the longer battery life, but whether to go with the 64 or 128 GB iPhone 6 is
 an unresolved question in my mind.  Usually, I don't have much trouble
 making such decisions, but if there isn't any solid benefit to spending the
 extra $100 on 128GB then I believe the 64GB would be plenty (my current
 iPhone 5 has 32GB).

 BTW: 16GB is out of the question -- my iPhone 5 with 32GB is at near 17GB
 free memory now as it is and with additional features available with the
 iPhone 6 I can't imagine having a very responsive device at 16GB.

RE: Dark Sky verses native Weather app

2014-11-14 Thread Cristóbal
I used to like The Weather Channel the most back when it was accessible with 
Voiceover. Ever since the iOS upgrade, the native weather app has gotten much 
better and I am finding it more complete than before. If you're in need of 
alerts, then Dark Sky would do the trick.

Subject: Re: Dark Sky verses native Weather app

Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each has 
different features which I happen to like. for instance some do severe weather 
alerts better than do others via push notification as one example. 
where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push notification 
alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start falling.  It is also quite 
specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light rain, and such.  This will be my 
first Winter with it so I'm assuming it'd alert for the more frozen variety's 
of precipitation as well but haven't yet experienced it myself. 
I've found it to be quite accurate in these alerts.  If the alert doesn't 
coincide exactly with the start of the precipitation it usually commences 
within 20 minutes.
I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an invaluable 
resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather started.  I myself am 
not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate the alerting capabilities it 
offers.
I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of any 
weather related events which is why I have so many others along with it.

I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the app. 
I hope that helps.

I still don't see how the phone can switch like that, so long as it is kept 
relatively still. Remember that the orientation is in relation to the 
ground, not to your body. For instance, if you were leaning back and had the 
phone on your stomach, the orientation might switch because, to the phone's 
sensor, it is at an angle.

RE: ITUNES 12, STILL NOT SUCCEEDING - MORE HELP, PLEASE!

2014-11-14 Thread Thom Spittle
Hey Carol

This explaination might help.

Your songs are on your computer. iTunes just points to the song. If you delete 
a song from your playlist, it stays in your main  music library, and on your 
computer. But, it will come off of your phone when you sync it the next time.

Even if you delete a song from the main music library, it’s still on your 
computer.

You can even go to your music through windows explorer and control c to copy, 
then go to iTunes and when you are looking at your playlist, hit control v and 
it will add it to your playlist and to the mail music library.

In fact, my wife has a folder on her computer that contains all of the songs 
she wants on her phone, and I can select them all ( control A), copy them 
(control c),  then paste them (control v) to her playlist in iTunes. It will 
not duplicate the songs she already has in there, since the path is the same. 

 

As to your question about the album, If you are focused on it, you should be 
able to hit F2 and it will ask you to rename the item. Just like in Windows 
explorer.

 

Hope this helps,

Thom

I've now heard the podcast and got it into my mind how useful those keystrokes

I hadn't realised though that, now I've made a playlist then added it to my

or can I do anything to show that this album is by a certain artist?

 

In addition, if I choose to delete the playlist from my phone or computer, do I 
keep the tracks and artists intact on the phone and computer?

Start by pressing control 1 to make sure that you are in the music library.

Next, press control F to go to the search box.

Hit F6 and this will bring you to a tree view.

Arrow down until you get to your playlist.

F6 until you get to the list of songs in the playlist.

Hi Tom,

 

OK.  I've made my playlist (which I hadn't done on the computer before), but 
now I want to check what's in that playlist and don't seem able to do it.  
Presumably I check Music then Playlists, but if you can help me from that

If I could, let me suggest that the easiest way for me to manage the music I 
want on my iPhone is to make a playlist of the songs that I want.

Then, when it comes to sync time. I just select the playlist I want.

You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to add to 
playlist and direct it to your playlist.

If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when you are 
focused on the playlist song list.

 

Hope this helps,

Hi all,

 

Apologies for yet another ITunes question, but I admit I'm hopeless with this 
app , but I must use it and am trying really hard to like it, just a little.

 

However, I'm not succeeding in carrying out the task of putting further music 
onto my IPhone.  I haven't done it for some months but now am ripping more of 
our music selection ... and doing OK there.

 

However, I can't remember how to select some items of music and not others and, 
whilst my PC (with Jaws) will say Selected if I shift+down arrow, I don't 
recall this was the way to do it in ITunes and when I go back to check what 
I've selected, it seems I have nothing selected.

 

Please help if you can.

 

Thanks.

RE: Seeking iPhone 6 Perspectives - 64GB or 128GB

2014-11-14 Thread Neal Ewers
Yes, I intend on saving that $100. I don't do a lot of photos, and if I do, I 
can always move them to some place off my phone. I refuse to let iTunes 
organize my musical life for me, so I don't have much music either. I think 
Apple has marketed this well, at least for them. 16 GB is too small for much of 
what people want. Since 32 is no longer available, I am guessing many people 
will migrate to the two other sizes. I'll be going with 64GB.

Photos, music, and books are what take up space. If you do not have a lot of 
any of those, 128 doesn't give you anything except a higher price. I have a
32 GB iPhone 5, and am not anywhere near close to filling it. For the vast

Subject: Seeking iPhone 6 Perspectives - 64GB or 128GB

OK Gang;

I'm debating whether to upgrade to a 64GB or 128GB iPhone 6; I am totally 
blind so most likely will not be loading many photos on this new device (I 
now have 5 still pictures on my iPhone 5).  I cannot justify going with the 
iPhone 6+ given that the only real advantage over the 6 for me would be 
the longer battery life, but whether to go with the 64 or 128 GB iPhone 6 is 
an unresolved question in my mind.  Usually, I don't have much trouble 
making such decisions, but if there isn't any solid benefit to spending the 
extra $100 on 128GB then I believe the 64GB would be plenty (my current 
iPhone 5 has 32GB).

BTW: 16GB is out of the question -- my iPhone 5 with 32GB is at near 17GB 
free memory now as it is and with additional features available with the 
iPhone 6 I can't imagine having a very responsive device at 16GB.

Hey Carol

This explaination might help.

Your songs are on your computer. iTunes just points to the song. If you
delete a song from your playlist, it stays in your main  music library, and
on your computer. But, it will come off of your phone when you sync it the
next time.

Even if you delete a song from the main music library, it's still on your
computer.

You can even go to your music through windows explorer and control c to
copy, then go to iTunes and when you are looking at your playlist, hit
control v and it will add it to your playlist and to the mail music library.

In fact, my wife has a folder on her computer that contains all of the songs
she wants on her phone, and I can select them all ( control A), copy them
(control c),  then paste them (control v) to her playlist in iTunes. It will
not duplicate the songs she already has in there, since the path is the
same. 

 

As to your question about the album, If you are focused on it, you should be
able to hit F2 and it will ask you to rename the item. Just like in Windows
explorer.

 

Hope this helps,

 Hi,
 Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each has 
 different features which I happen to like. for instance some do severe 
 weather alerts better than do others via push notification as one example. 
 where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push notification 
 alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start falling.  It is also 
 quite specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light rain, and such.  This will 
 be my first Winter with it so I'm assuming it'd alert for the more frozen 
 variety's of precipitation as well but haven't yet experienced it myself. 
 I've found it to be quite accurate in these alerts.  If the alert doesn't 
 coincide exactly with the start of the precipitation it usually commences 
 within 20 minutes.
 I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an invaluable 
 resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather started.  I myself 
 am not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate the alerting 
 capabilities it offers.
 I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of any 
 weather related events which is why I have so many others along with it.
 
 I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the app. 
 I hope that helps.

 must also put back all of the information into this app. This is extremely 
 time-consuming.
 The weather Channel will do this but the notifications are silent. It never 
 makes a sound. The only way to know if you have an alert, is for voiceover to 
 read the lock screen.

Re: THE MISSING APP!

2014-11-14 Thread Alex Hall
Interesting point. Everyone holds their devices differently (mine, for 
instance, is usually right around the bottom of my ribcage, well above my 
naval). It's certainly possible that the phone could be angled depending on the 
placement, particularly for women. Jessica, try holding the phone pressed 
against your stomach, or flat on your lap, or anywhere else you can think of. 
In other words, keep trying different placements until one works well. A way to 
lock the keyboard orientation would be nice, but I think you'll be able to find 
something that works until that feature is added. I apologize if anyone finds 
this topic offensive, but it really is a valid consideration that should be 
taken into account and, in my mind anyway, it's nothing to be embarrassed over.

 I still don't see how the phone can switch like that, so long as it is kept 
 relatively still. Remember that the orientation is in relation to the 
 ground, not to your body. For instance, if you were leaning back and had the 
 phone on your stomach, the orientation might switch because, to the phone's 
 sensor, it is at an angle.

Hey Carol

This explaination might help.

Your songs are on your computer. iTunes just points to the song. If you delete 
a song from your playlist, it stays in your main  music library, and on your 
computer. But, it will come off of your phone when you sync it the next time.

Even if you delete a song from the main music library, it’s still on your 
computer.

You can even go to your music through windows explorer and control c to copy, 
then go to iTunes and when you are looking at your playlist, hit control v and 
it will add it to your playlist and to the mail music library.

In fact, my wife has a folder on her computer that contains all of the songs 
she wants on her phone, and I can select them all ( control A), copy them 
(control c),  then paste them (control v) to her playlist in iTunes. It will 
not duplicate the songs she already has in there, since the path is the same. 

 

As to your question about the album, If you are focused on it, you should be 
able to hit F2 and it will ask you to rename the item. Just like in Windows 
explorer.

 

Hope this helps,

Thom

 The weather Channel will do this but the notifications are silent. It never

 Hi,
 Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each has 
 different features which I happen to like. for instance some do severe 
 weather alerts better than do others via push notification as one example. 
 where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push notification 
 alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start falling.  It is also 
 quite specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light rain, and such.  This 
 will be my first Winter with it so I'm assuming it'd alert for the more 
 frozen variety's of precipitation as well but haven't yet experienced it 
 myself. I've found it to be quite accurate in these alerts.  If the alert 
 doesn't coincide exactly with the start of the precipitation it usually 
 commences within 20 minutes.
 I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an invaluable 
 resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather started.  I 
 myself am not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate the alerting 
 capabilities it offers.
 I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of 
 any weather related events which is why I have so many others along with it.
 
 I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the app. 
 I hope that helps.

Tom, this is very helpful, but I can’t get it to work. Here is what I did.

 

I created a playlist in iTunes. Went to my music folder in Windows Explorer and 
selected all songs in a folder. I went back to iTunes and checked playlist. I 
then went to the playlist and did control V. Nothing happened. What am I doing 
wrong?

Hey Carol

This explaination might help.

Your songs are on your computer. iTunes just points to the song. If you delete 
a song from your playlist, it stays in your main  music library, and on your 
computer. But, it will come off of your phone when you sync it the next time.

Even if you delete a song from the main music library, it’s still on your 
computer.

You can even go to your music through windows explorer and control c to copy, 
then go to iTunes and when you are looking at your playlist, hit control v and 
it will add it to your playlist and to the mail music library.

In fact, my wife has a folder on her computer that contains all of the songs 
she wants on her phone, and I can select them all ( control A), copy them 
(control c),  then paste them (control v) to her playlist in iTunes. It will 
not duplicate the songs she already has in there, since the path is the same. 

 

As to your question about the album, If you are focused on it, you should be 
able to hit F2 and it will ask you to rename the item. Just like in Windows 
explorer.

 

Hope this helps,

Thom

I hadn't realised though that, now I've made a playlist then added it to my 
phone as a playlist, I now have an album which (because it's in the 
Complilations (the Best of) in Itunes it doesn't show up under the artist's 
name.  The rest in that playlist do show up correctly.  Must I live with this 
or can I do anything to show that this album is by a certain artist?

 

In addition, if I choose to delete the playlist from my phone or computer, do I 
keep the tracks and artists intact on the phone and computer?

 

I'd like to understand a little more on this so that I make the right choices.

 

Thanks for any further additional explanations you or anyone else can give on 
this senario.

Start by pressing control 1 to make sure that you are in the music library.

Next, press control F to go to the search box.

Hit F6 and this will bring you to a tree view.

Arrow down until you get to your playlist.

F6 until you get to the list of songs in the playlist.

the same thing that was happening to every one else. When I lonch it it 
takes me completely out of the screen and puts the focus on the next ap

Hi Michael,

Did you try and remove the app entirely and reinstall? Are you sure you 
updated to the latest version? So far it would seem you are the only one 
for whom Money Reader is not working after yesterday's update.

Can you describe what exactly is happening or not happening?

Over the air podcast syncing

2014-11-14 Thread Graham Roby
Hi,, 

 

I have two podcast players Overcast and Downcast. 

if I play a podcast in Overcast on my iPhone while travelling to and from
work, I can pick up where I left off on my iPad when I get home. 

However for what ever reason this doesn't work the other way round i.e I
listen to half a podcast at home on the iPad but when on the train with my
iPhone I'm put back to the beginning. 

The odd thing is, this happens the other way round in Downcast, Has anyone
else had this issue? if so, how did you resolve it? 

 

Kind regards

 

Graham

  You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to

  If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when

Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each
has different features which I happen to like. for instance some do
severe weather alerts better than do others via push notification as 
one

example. where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push
notification alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start
falling.  It is also quite specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light
rain, and such.  This will be my first Winter with it so I'm assuming
it'd alert for the more frozen variety's of precipitation as well but
haven't yet experienced it myself. I've found it to be quite accurate 
in

these alerts.  If the alert doesn't coincide exactly with the start of
the precipitation it usually commences within 20 minutes.
I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an
invaluable resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather
started.  I myself am not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate
the alerting capabilities it offers.
I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications 
of
any weather related events which is why I have so many others along 
with

it.

I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the
app. I hope that helps.

I've found that, if it moves, you can still get it back into the portrait 
mode easily enough by turning the phone the way it should be.  I tend to 
hold my phone so that I can use the away mode, so it works for me.


Personally I think MBraille is so much more useful that I quite often don't 
use the onscreen version and just copy and paste into edit fields 
afterwards.


Anyway, if it's a problem for you, by all means say so as it may be a

Re: Dark Sky verses native Weather app

2014-11-14 Thread Robin Frost

Hi,
I need to clarify that the sole thing Dark Sky sends push alerts about is 
the arrival of falling precipitation. that is why I mentioned having more 
than one weather ap.  for alerts for more severe forms of weather which only 
let you know of impending severe storms and the like you'd need something 
else such as Weather Alert USA IMap Weather Radio and such.
I can't speak for other models of phones or flavors of iOS but at least 
under 8.1 many apps for me seem to sound a default sounder when giving a 
push alert. I could  be wrong but it is my understanding that this is 
governed by the app itself and is not necessarily something the user can 
determine in terms of sound it uses but for weather alerts that don't make a 
sound as described in other posts I'm wondering if sound is one of the 
things enabled under its settings in notification center, just a thought.

Can you save weather for multiple cities? Is there a limit? Right now I am 
using weather alert USA. I like that app. But, if I must restore my phone, 
I must also put back all of the information into this app. This is 
extremely time-consuming.
The weather Channel will do this but the notifications are silent. It 
never makes a sound. The only way to know if you have an alert, is for 
voiceover to read the lock screen.

Greetings. For those that use the Dark Sky weather app, what do you
like about it over the native Weather app in iOS 8? I am considering
getting this app and am curious what other people think?

Best,

  Hey Carol

  This explaination might help.

  Your songs are on your computer. iTunes just points to the song. If you 
delete a song from your playlist, it stays in your main  music library, and on 
your computer. But, it will come off of your phone when you sync it the next 
time.

  Even if you delete a song from the main music library, it’s still on your 
computer.

  You can even go to your music through windows explorer and control c to copy, 
then go to iTunes and when you are looking at your playlist, hit control v and 
it will add it to your playlist and to the mail music library.

  In fact, my wife has a folder on her computer that contains all of the songs 
she wants on her phone, and I can select them all ( control A), copy them 
(control c),  then paste them (control v) to her playlist in iTunes. It will 
not duplicate the songs she already has in there, since the path is the same. 

   

  As to your question about the album, If you are focused on it, you should be 
able to hit F2 and it will ask you to rename the item. Just like in Windows 
explorer.

   

  Hope this helps,

  Thom

  Then, when it comes to sync time. I just select the playlist I want.

  You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to add

  If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when you

 Hi,
 I need to clarify that the sole thing Dark Sky sends push alerts about is the 
 arrival of falling precipitation. that is why I mentioned having more than 
 one weather ap.  for alerts for more severe forms of weather which only let 
 you know of impending severe storms and the like you'd need something else 
 such as Weather Alert USA IMap Weather Radio and such.
 I can't speak for other models of phones or flavors of iOS but at least under 
 8.1 many apps for me seem to sound a default sounder when giving a push 
 alert. I could  be wrong but it is my understanding that this is governed by 
 the app itself and is not necessarily something the user can determine in 
 terms of sound it uses but for weather alerts that don't make a sound as 
 described in other posts I'm wondering if sound is one of the things enabled 
 under its settings in notification center, just a thought.

Since it was a CD that I had to rip, it's possible it was/is incorrectly 
tagged.  I accept though that it is a compilation and it just appears that 
ITunes elected to put it in that place, alongside a few other compilations.

At least we have the copy of the ripped CD safely in ITunes and another totally

document pro (as I have it on my iPhone), Pages (which is what I have also), 
and dropbox.  When I tapped dropbox, nothing happened.  When I tapped document 
pro, and when I opened document pro, I found the file but when I opened it, it 
was a gibberish of a line of letters and symbols.  Could anyone give me step by 
step instructions how it works for them?

Thanks for any help you can give.

 Hi Andrew,
 
 There is a bug that means that you have to export it first as a KNFB Reader 
 document. Then you can export it as text or HTML.

Re: gps app to help find stuff around a apartment complex?

2014-11-14 Thread RobH.
Remember, it only works well outdoors and  it can still be ten yards off 
even on a good day.
Otherwise, use all those apps mentioned so far.  In fact, I reckon Ariadne 
would be good for this, as you mark a place when you find it once, add it as 
a favourite, then set your device to point you at it when you need to find 
it again.  It gives distence and direction on a clock face principle.  Make 
sure your front door at home is the first favourite.

Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each has 
different features which I happen to like. for instance some do severe weather 
alerts better than do others via push notification as one example. 
where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push notification 
alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start falling.  It is also quite 
specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light rain, and such.  This will be my 
first Winter with it so I'm assuming it'd alert for the more frozen variety's 
of precipitation as well but haven't yet experienced it myself. 
I've found it to be quite accurate in these alerts.  If the alert doesn't 
coincide exactly with the start of the precipitation it usually commences 
within 20 minutes.
I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an invaluable 
resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather started.  I myself am 
not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate the alerting capabilities it 
offers.
I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of any 
weather related events which is why I have so many others along with it.

I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the app. 
I hope that helps.

 The weather Channel will do this but the notifications are silent. It

Why Is Siri Saying, No Weather Info Available?

Hi, all,

I'm using an iPod 5G with WiFi at home. The network is fine, and I can use the 
Weather app with no trouble. I can also use Siri on the Internet to look up 
various information. However, if I try to look up weather with Siri, it says 
No Weather Info Available. Sorry about that. I've looked in Notification

Any ideas?

Re: ITUNES 12, STILL NOT SUCCEEDING - MORE HELP, PLEASE!

2014-11-14 Thread Woody Anna Dresner
Hi Carol and all,

When you have a CD with songs by multiple artists, you can handle it in a 
couple of different ways. One is to designate it a compilation. Then it is 
listed with compilations. If there is one main artist, the other option is to 
say that it's not a compilation, but to set the album artist field to the main 
artist on the album. Then it is listed with that artist, but you can still have 
different artists for individual tracks. To make any changes of this sort, 
select all the tracks and either press Control-I on a PC, Command-I on a Mac to 
open the Get Info box, or open the context menu (context key or Shift-F10 on a 
PC, VO-M on a Mac), arrow down to Get Info, and press Enter.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

 ITunes elected to put it in that place, alongside a few other compilations.
  
 At least we have the copy of the ripped CD safely in ITunes and another 
 totally separate from the PC, just in case!  Smiles

 It is also possible that Carol's music tracks are not appropriately tagged 
 which is why she is not seeing them by artist. The below article does a good 
 job of explaining tagging basics:

 Hey Carol
 This explaination might help.
 Your songs are on your computer. iTunes just points to the song. If you 
 delete a song from your playlist, it stays in your main  music library, and 
 on your computer. But, it will come off of your phone when you sync it the 
 next time.
 Even if you delete a song from the main music library, it’s still on your 
 computer.
 You can even go to your music through windows explorer and control c to 
 copy, then go to iTunes and when you are looking at your playlist, hit 
 control v and it will add it to your playlist and to the mail music library.
 In fact, my wife has a folder on her computer that contains all of the songs 
 she wants on her phone, and I can select them all ( control A), copy them 
 (control c),  then paste them (control v) to her playlist in iTunes. It will 
 not duplicate the songs she already has in there, since the path is the 
 same. 
  
 As to your question about the album, If you are focused on it, you should be 
 able to hit F2 and it will ask you to rename the item. Just like in Windows 
 explorer.
  
 Hope this helps,
 Thom

 I've now heard the podcast and got it into my mind how useful those 
 keystrokes can be.
  
 I hadn't realised though that, now I've made a playlist then added it to my 
 phone as a playlist, I now have an album which (because it's in the 
 Complilations (the Best of) in Itunes it doesn't show up under the artist's 
 name.  The rest in that playlist do show up correctly.  Must I live with 
 this or can I do anything to show that this album is by a certain artist?
  
 In addition, if I choose to delete the playlist from my phone or computer, 
 do I keep the tracks and artists intact on the phone and computer?
  
 I'd like to understand a little more on this so that I make the right 
 choices.
  
 Thanks for any further additional explanations you or anyone else can give

 Start by pressing control 1 to make sure that you are in the music library.
 Next, press control F to go to the search box.
 Hit F6 and this will bring you to a tree view.
 Arrow down until you get to your playlist.

Dark skies question about the threshold button what is it?

2014-11-14 Thread Wren Langley
Hi all, I bought the dark sky app I'm sorry I bought the dark sky weather app 
after reading about it in the emails. I really like the fact that we can get a 
precipitation alert. I was wondering what is the threshold button that can be 
adjusted it says that it's off right now does it need to be turned on and how 
do I turn it on? I couldn't find anything about this in the app. Thank you all 
very much for the help. God bless, Wren Langleyall that it says is that the app 
requires location services and I have that turned on.

something else such as Weather Alert USA IMap Weather Radio and such.
I can't speak for other models of phones or flavors of iOS but at least 
under 8.1 many apps for me seem to sound a default sounder when giving a 
push alert. I could  be wrong but it is my understanding that this is 
governed by the app itself and is not necessarily something the user can 
determine in terms of sound it uses but for weather alerts that don't make

extremely time-consuming.
The weather Channel will do this but the notifications are silent. It 
never makes a sound. The only way to know if you have an alert, is for 
voiceover to read the lock screen.

Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each 
has different features which I happen to like. for instance some do 
severe weather alerts better than do others via push notification as one 
example. where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push 
notification alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start 
falling.  It is also quite specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light 
rain, and such.  This will be my first Winter with it so I'm assuming 
it'd alert for the more frozen variety's of precipitation as well but 
haven't yet experienced it myself. I've found it to be quite accurate in 
these alerts.  If the alert doesn't coincide exactly with the start of 
the precipitation it usually commences within 20 minutes.
I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an 
invaluable resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather 
started.  I myself am not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate 
the alerting capabilities it offers.
I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of 
any weather related events which is why I have so many others along with 
it.


I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the 
app. I hope that helps.

 Hi, all,
  
 I'm using an iPod 5G with WiFi at home. The network is fine, and I can use 
 the Weather app with no trouble. I can also use Siri on the Internet to look 
 up various information. However, if I try to look up weather with Siri, it 
 says No Weather Info Available. Sorry about that. I've looked in 
 Notification settings, and Weather is in neither category. I'm now at a loss 
 for what to do. Any ideas?

Re: Dark Sky verses native Weather app

Hi,
With all due respect I just did a search for dark sky without the quotes 
in the US iOS app store and only see one entry I believe it is $3.99 not 
sure to which other app you're referring.

Subject: Re: Dark Sky verses native Weather app

Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each has 
different features which I happen to like. for instance some do severe 
weather alerts better than do others via push notification as one example.
where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push notification 
alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start falling.  It is also 
quite specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light rain, and such.  This will 
be my first Winter with it so I'm assuming it'd alert for the more frozen 
variety's of precipitation as well but haven't yet experienced it myself.
I've found it to be quite accurate in these alerts.  If the alert doesn't 
coincide exactly with the start of the precipitation it usually commences 
within 20 minutes.
I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an invaluable 
resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather started.  I myself 
am not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate the alerting 
capabilities it offers.
I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of any 
weather related events which is why I have so many others along with it.


I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the app.
I hope that helps.
Robin

Re: ITUNES 12, STILL NOT SUCCEEDING - MORE HELP, PLEASE!

I just want to let everyone know I've been able to follow Tom's explanations 
and thank everyone for your patience as I've struggled with ITunes.

I now have everything to date safely on my various devices, including the IPod.

I discovered it was a bit of a mystery, but it turns out that the IPod was not 
recognised if it was plugged in before the laptop was turned on.  The phone 
doesn't seem to care which way I do things!

Anyway, my main problems are sorted now.  Thanks to all.

  First, connect your phone.

  Next control F to go to the search box.

  Tab until it says iPhone button and press space.

  Control F again to the search box.

  Down arrow twice to music.

  Tab until it says Sync Music, and make sure it is checked.

  Tab until it asks to sync entire library and make sure it is not checked.

  Make sure sync selected playlist artists, and genres is checked.

  About 3 or 4 more tabs will bring up the playlists to check which ones you 
want.

   

  Then alt F to the file menu.

  Arrow down to device and hit enter or right arrow.

  Hit enter on sync iPhone.

  Done.

Next, press control F to go to the search box.

Hit F6 and this will bring you to a tree view.

  If I could, let me suggest that the easiest way for me to manage the 
music I want on my iPhone is to make a playlist of the songs that I want.

  Then, when it comes to sync time. I just select the playlist I want.

  You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to add 
to playlist and direct it to your playlist.

  If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when you 
are focused on the playlist song list.

   

  Hope this helps,

  Apologies for yet another ITunes question, but I admit I'm hopeless with 
this app , but I must use it and am trying really hard to like it, just a 
little.

   

  However, I'm not succeeding in carrying out the task of putting further 
music onto my IPhone.  I haven't done it for some months but now am ripping 
more of our music selection ... and doing OK there.

   

  However, I can't remember how to select some items of music and not

I don't recall this was the way to do it in ITunes and when I go back to check 
what I've selected, it seems I have nothing selected.

Re: Dark skies question about the threshold button what is it?

2014-11-14 Thread Robin Frost
I'm confused you're sorry you bought it but you like the precip alerts? If 
the latter than why are you sorry?
As for threshold it's like a picker control you change by flicking up and 
down zero is off I.E. less or no alerting 100 is the highest and most 
accurate level of alerts. I hope that helps.

Thank you all very much for the help. God bless, Wren Langleyall that it
