Subject: any shortcut key for two finger scrub or back button on bluetooth 
keyboard


Dear all. The obvious answer to the question about two fingers scrub or back 
button on bluetooth keyboard is the escape key. 
Intriguingly, yet interestingly, I am trying a new bluetoooth keyboard on which 
escape key works as shortcut for home. So, If I were 
to use escape key while in the email app, it will take me to home screen. Vey 
sturdy keyboard and keys are well spaced out. I will 
check if his keyboard has already been reviewed or I am planning to do it 
myself.
Coming back to my problem, what key combination can I use to achieve two finger 
scrub?
Thanks for your responses.

Re: extra plug adapter

2015-07-20 Thread 'RobH.' via VIPhone
You can get basic usb chargers almost anywhere, so long as you don't try 
charging iOs Apple devices with them.  But for 2/4$$, 
they'll do speakers, juice packs and that sort of thing.  I have an Apple rated 
thing here which has 4 usb outlets to charge it all 
at once on one a/c outlet.

The keyboard shortcut is VO+Shift+m.

 

I think either escape or doing that keystroke again when you get the app 
where you want it will release the app.  I’m not sure, so maybe a little trial

RE: Ring tone question

Hi,
Thanks so much for all this information.  It was most helpful.  I did have
to go and turn off hidden file types as I'm using windows 7, and thought I
had the problem solved after that.  I was able to rename the file and it
went into the proper tones folder in iTunes, but when I went to sync the
ring tone, it would not sync to the phone.  I tried several times but it did
not work.  Any thoughts?  I have an iPhone 6 and I am using the latest
version of Itunes with all the changes to apple music.

RE: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

2015-07-20 Thread Alan Lemly
Mark,

I'm running iTunes for Windows 11.4.0.18 and often make an encrypted backup
of my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I also did with my previous iPhone 5. I
had 8 backup files listed in the Devices dialog under Edit, Preferences all
of which begin with Alan's iPhone. Some of  the backups listed also included
the date next to Alan's iPhone but about half of them only said Alan's
iPhone. If I lingered over the specific backup, ZoomText would announce the
date it was made even though no date text was included in the list.

I then researched where iTunes places encrypted backup files on the computer
and found it is in a folder which includes the name MobileSync\Backup. The
actual subfolder name is much longer and depends on the version of Windows
you're running as to its location. Here's a link to the Apple Support
article in case you're interested:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215

This folder had a series of 8 subfolders under it which I assume correspond
to the 8 backups I previously mentioned. The files under these subfolders
included a string of alphanumeric characters in their names but had no file
extensions. I'm telling you this in case you want to poke around with
Windows Explorer.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Re: extra plug adapter

2015-07-20 Thread Alan Paganelli
Lori, everybody today needs to recharge something that requires a USB port.  In 
almost all new homes being built today, usb charging ports are included right 
in all wall outlets.  There are one to two electrical outlets and several USB 
charging ports.

Walmart stores, bestbuy stores and just about everybody else carry charging 
devices.  These new outlets plug right in to a standard wall outlet.  They 
provide maybe 1 electrical outlet and 3 or 4 USB ports for charging your 
devices.  They actually aren't all that expensive either.  They run around ten 
dollars.With everybody needing more and more charging ports the demand will 
only grow.  The little cube thing you got with your iPhone only has 1 USB port. 
 Check out Walmart, Target, etc.  You should have no problem finding a salution 
to your USB shortage.

Hi,
Thanks so much for all this information.  It was most helpful.  I did have to 
go and turn off hidden file types as I'm using windows 7, and thought I had the 
problem solved after that.  I was able to rename the file and it went into the 
proper tones folder in iTunes, but when I went to sync the ring tone, it would 
not sync to the phone.  I tried several times but it did not work.  Any 
thoughts?  I have an iPhone 6 and I am using the latest version of Itunes with 
all the changes to apple music.

RE: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

2015-07-20 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Alan,

Thank  you so much for this information; the website is great.

Based on your reply, I would wager that you have not given your device a new 
name other than that which was set by default.

I make a practice of renaming each of my iOS devices immediately upon purchase. 
 If one does not do this, then, in theory, all of the devices would have the 
same name.  This could be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending upon one's 
needs.

My point is that, assuming that you have not renamed your latest device, if you 
are encrypting your backups, only one file is being updated/created.  The 
remaining backups would be from your non-encrypted backup sessions.  

If you have not done so, rename your latest device to something like Alan's 
iPhone 6 or something that is easily distinguishable from your other devices.  
Then make an encrypted backup once or twice and see how many entries are 
created and let us know.

Thanks again for your help on this.

Mark

Subject: RE: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

Mark,

I'm running iTunes for Windows 11.4.0.18 and often make an encrypted backup of 
my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I also did with my previous iPhone 5. I had 8 
backup files listed in the Devices dialog under Edit, Preferences all of which 
begin with Alan's iPhone. Some of  the backups listed also included the date 
next to Alan's iPhone but about half of them only said Alan's iPhone. If I 
lingered over the specific backup, ZoomText would announce the date it was made 
even though no date text was included in the list.

I then researched where iTunes places encrypted backup files on the computer 
and found it is in a folder which includes the name MobileSync\Backup. The 
actual subfolder name is much longer and depends on the version of Windows 
you're running as to its location. Here's a link to the Apple Support article 
in case you're interested:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215

This folder had a series of 8 subfolders under it which I assume correspond to 
the 8 backups I previously mentioned. The files under these subfolders included 
a string of alphanumeric characters in their names but had no file extensions. 
I'm telling you this in case you want to poke around with Windows Explorer.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Subject: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

Hello Everyone,

Today, in preparation for installing a copy of iOS 9 on one of my iPhones, I 
decided, after backing up both my 5 S and 6 Plus, both running iOS 8.4, to see 
what backups are being listed in iTunes.  

Now keep in mind that I am using iTunes 11 for Windows on a Windows 7 PC but I 
will appreciate replies from Mac users, as well as PC users running the latest 
version of iTunes.

I noticed that for both my 5 S and my 6 Plus, there is only one backup listed 
in the table of backups while there are multiple backup entries for my iPhone 
4, 4 S, and even my old 3GS.  The multiple entries for these older devices are 
delineated by their dates.  I have not attached these older devices to my PC in 
over two years.  

The only explanation I can come up with, on my own that is, is that only the
5 S and the 6 Plus are using encrypted backups.  Can that be the reason for 
each device's singular backup entry?  I expected to see multiple backup 
entries, delineated by date, for both my 5 S and 6 Plus but there are none.
There is only one entry for each device.

So, I would ask you to let me know what you have listed in your iTunes backup 
table for your series 5 or series 6 device.  To see your list of backups,do the 
following:  

1.
Open iTunes on your computer.

2.
From the Edit menu, select Preferences.

3.
Select the Device Tab.  Here you will see a list of device backups.

Thank you in advance for any feedback on this.

Mark

Re: iPhone 6plus and otterbox

hello bob,
i had no problem with otterbox, for my 4, and 5s,but, now i have the 6plus,
and otterbox  defender case  does not fit tight enouhg in my case the  middle i 
really have to press very hard for the iphone to respond.
there were several people that suggested to cut the plastic face covering off, 
and put  some kind of covering on the glass of the iphone, another option was 
to order a battery case and gorilla glass or something else to cover. 
so i found a battery case 4800 mAh case for about 20 bucks, and it uses the 
lightning cable to charge,but then i have no way to carry it, i found a pouch 
with belt clip, but its for a 6plus not in any kind of case lol.
i have enough friends with 6plus or 6 to give or sell the pouch and battery 
case,
cause i like the otterbox belt clip to carry iphone .
on a side note, i  am really liking amazon prime 30 day free trial
i may even pay he annual $99  because all the little items i have mentioned 
above i received in 2 day and no sales tax or shipping very cool 
so good hunting on the

Re: Ring tone question

2015-07-20 Thread eileen . misrahi
Hi Wendy,

Are you using a PC or Mac with iTunes? I had some problems on the Mac side 
using 12.1. I would interact with the scroll area, select the playlist tones 
and stop interacting with it. The problem came in when I went to the top, found 
the LTE section and wanted to sync all the ringtones at once. When I went back 
to the phone I found that I was always missing one of them. I never could 
figure out why. For some reason, it is what it is and maybe when I finally 
decide to upgrade to iTunes 12.2.1, it will be fixed.

 Hi Wendy,
 
 You can add your ringtone to iTunes as a song, then find it in your list of 
 songs, right click on it and select the Create AAC version option. This 
 will convert it to an M4A file which is the iTunes music format. You then 
 have to rename this file so it has an extension of m4r, then copy it back 
 into your automatically add to iTunes folder and next time you open iTunes it 
 should be correctly moved into your Tones folder and added to your Tones 
 library. You then still have to connect your phone and sync it over.
 
 Alternatively, and if you are just doing one or a few tones I find this even 
 easier, you can use a number of free online converters out there. One I tried 
 and find very simple to use is at the following URL:
 
 http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-m4a
 
 Once you are on that site just use the button quick nav key to find the 
 browse button. This will open a regular windows dialogue, find your file 
 wherever it is saved and select Open. Now use b again to jump to the 
 convert button, wait a bit and check the notification bar to see if you are 
 prompted to open or save the file. Select save and the converted file will be 
 downloaded to your Downloads folder.. Keep in mind that it's only converted 
 to M4A so you will still have to rename the extension to m4r before you can 
 Copy it into the automatically add to iTunes folder, open iTunes to 
 automatically move it to the tones folder and add it to your tones library. 
 Now sync the tones to your phone.
 
 If  you use Windows 7 chances are the setting to Hide extensions for known 
 file types is turned on in which case you have to go to Tools and Folder 
 Options, then Control+Tab to the View Page, tab twice into the treeview of 
 options and press pagedown once, then down arrow once. This should take you 
 onto that option, if it is turned on you can turn it off by pressing the 
 spacebar. Now tab to Ok and activate it. The m4a extension will now be part 
 of the file name and visible, you can now press F2 to rename it, all you have 
 to do really is change the a at the end to an r.
 
 
 Good luck,
 Sieghard

Lori, everybody today needs to recharge something that requires a USB port.  In 
almost all new homes being built today, usb charging ports are included right 
in all wall outlets.  There are one to two electrical outlets and several USB 
charging ports.

Walmart stores, bestbuy stores and just about everybody else carry charging 
devices.  These new outlets plug right in to a standard wall outlet.  They 
provide maybe 1 electrical outlet and 3 or 4 USB ports for charging your 
devices.  They actually aren't all that expensive either.  They run around ten 
dollars.With everybody needing more and more charging ports the demand will 
only grow.  The little cube thing you got with your iPhone only has 1 USB port. 
 Check out Walmart, Target, etc.  You should have no problem finding a salution

Re: Fleksy Version 6 and My Comments

2015-07-20 Thread Wayne Merritt
Thanks for this update on Fleksy. I've downloaded the Fleksy keyboard
and have been using it this weekend for writing in texts and things.
My only gripe a the moment is switching back from Fleksy to the
regular keyboard. When going from the regular keyboard to Emogy and
then to Fleksy, I double tap the Switch to Keyboard button in the
lower left corner. But when using the Fleksy keyboard, I can't find a
reliable way to switch back to the regular keyboard; that switch to
button doesn't seem to be there. I've tried double tapping the Keypad
button thinking that would work but no luck. The only way I've found
to switch back is to go back into Settings and disable the Fleksy
keyboard from my list of keyboards. I do like how I can type with
Fleksy and VoiceOver and get good results, but not being able to
switch keyboards is a downer at the moment.

 Thanks for this additional tip. I agree that the Fleksy Keyboard can be

 back, they are correct but that last word that I'm checking is not what
 VoiceOver read. I'm also getting inconsistent results with contractions.

 Fleksy VO was absolutely the best at consistently getting the right word
 from my keystrokes and working extremely well with VoiceOver.

 Also, if you flick up from the bottom right-hand corner of the keypad, it
 works like an enter key. Good for entering blank lines, and also for doing
 anything that you would hit and enter key  for a normal keypad.
 I find the fleksy app a little sporadic to use. Sometimes it works great
 but,  and other times it seems to put in gibberish and only the second
 selection is the one that you actually typed in. I complain to fleksy about
 this, they blame it on auto correct, but I have AutoCorrect turned off.
 I agree with you, the fleksy VO version was absolutely the best. I still

RE: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

2015-07-20 Thread Alan Lemly
Mark,

Point taken. I guess my counterpoint is that I only expect to ever own one
iPhone that is in use at any point in time so any of those backups I made
for the older device will be unnecessary once it's replaced and I've backed
up the new device. Therefore, I don't have to worry with backups of my older
devices which will get overwritten I assume when my new device of the same
name gets backed up. Less stuff for me to keep up with and at my age, that's
a real bonus.

If I change my mind and rename my device, I'll post back with my backup
results.

Subject: RE: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

Hello Alan,

Thank  you so much for this information; the website is great.

Based on your reply, I would wager that you have not given your device a new
name other than that which was set by default.

I make a practice of renaming each of my iOS devices immediately upon
purchase.  If one does not do this, then, in theory, all of the devices
would have the same name.  This could be an advantage or a disadvantage,
depending upon one's needs.

My point is that, assuming that you have not renamed your latest device, if
you are encrypting your backups, only one file is being updated/created.
The remaining backups would be from your non-encrypted backup sessions.  

If you have not done so, rename your latest device to something like Alan's
iPhone 6 or something that is easily distinguishable from your other
devices.  Then make an encrypted backup once or twice and see how many
entries are created and let us know.

Thanks again for your help on this.

Subject: RE: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

Mark,

I'm running iTunes for Windows 11.4.0.18 and often make an encrypted backup
of my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I also did with my previous iPhone 5. I
had 8 backup files listed in the Devices dialog under Edit, Preferences all
of which begin with Alan's iPhone. Some of  the backups listed also included
the date next to Alan's iPhone but about half of them only said Alan's
iPhone. If I lingered over the specific backup, ZoomText would announce the
date it was made even though no date text was included in the list.

I then researched where iTunes places encrypted backup files on the computer
and found it is in a folder which includes the name MobileSync\Backup. The
actual subfolder name is much longer and depends on the version of Windows
you're running as to its location. Here's a link to the Apple Support
article in case you're interested:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215

This folder had a series of 8 subfolders under it which I assume correspond
to the 8 backups I previously mentioned. The files under these subfolders
included a string of alphanumeric characters in their names but had no file
extensions. I'm telling you this in case you want to poke around with
Windows Explorer.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Subject: A Very Specific Question About iPhone Backup Files

Hello Everyone,

Today, in preparation for installing a copy of iOS 9 on one of my iPhones, I
decided, after backing up both my 5 S and 6 Plus, both running iOS 8.4, to
see what backups are being listed in iTunes.  

Now keep in mind that I am using iTunes 11 for Windows on a Windows 7 PC but
I will appreciate replies from Mac users, as well as PC users running the
latest version of iTunes.

I noticed that for both my 5 S and my 6 Plus, there is only one backup
listed in the table of backups while there are multiple backup entries for
my iPhone 4, 4 S, and even my old 3GS.  The multiple entries for these older
devices are delineated by their dates.  I have not attached these older
devices to my PC in over two years.  

The only explanation I can come up with, on my own that is, is that only the
5 S and the 6 Plus are using encrypted backups.  Can that be the reason for
each device's singular backup entry?  I expected to see multiple backup
entries, delineated by date, for both my 5 S and 6 Plus but there are none.
There is only one entry for each device.

So, I would ask you to let me know what you have listed in your iTunes
backup table for your series 5 or series 6 device.  To see your list of
backups,do the following:  

1.
Open iTunes on your computer.

2.
From the Edit menu, select Preferences.

3.
Select the Device Tab.  Here you will see a list of device backups.

Thank you in advance for any feedback on this.

Do you also use iTunes for computer backups?
Or, at least do you have iTunes?
If so, check on the phone under usage in settings and see how much room it 
says is left, then connect the phone to iTunes on a computer, and select the 
iphone button then see what iTunes says is available.
If they are more than 1 or 1.5 GB different, maybe allow up to 2 GB of 
difference, you may need to backup the phone with iTunes on the computer, 
and I would recommend an encrypted backup so you get all your passwords etc.

Then select restore in iTunes.
This will erase the phone, reinstall the firmware, then you can restore from 
that computer backup.

Then see if the iCloud will now work.
Just a thought based on a recent experience I had when my 64 GB phone said I 
had 4 GB free, but itunes said I had 8 GB free.

After doing the above steps, I have 11 GB free.
The accessibility advisor I spoke with said that if I had canceled a backup 
in progress, I could have ended upwith some corrupt files that were wasting 
memory.

Apparently, she was correct.

I do see that several backups are there and not one; is that normal; I 
think I only show one backup.


Please advise.

Try settingsiCloudstorage and see how much storage she has in her
iCloud account, if a lot clear out the junk and try again.

All, my wife’s phone, whenever she pluggs it in, tells her that there is
a problem creating a backup to iCloud; apparently she has 4 or 5 gigs of
stuff beyond the 5-gig limit according to iCloud. This seems rather
unlikely given the fact that she has a small amount of photos and videos
and little or no music.
We had to reset all settings recently when we had an issue with the Alex
voice; one night the voice switched to the high quality female voice,
and it would not switch back to Alex even though the sound effect
sounded so the Apple representative said she needed to reset all 
settings.

Since then we have had to fix things here and there; there seems to be
no way she has that much stuff on her phone—I have more stuff and do not
have this issue.

How can I discover what the cause is so I can remedy it?
Is there something else I could reset, turn on or off, etc.?

Thank you.

RE: Fleksy Version 6 and My Comments

2015-07-20 Thread Alan Lemly
Wayne,

It sounds as if your Fleksy Keyboard might be in the mini layout mode. This
is the mode most similar to the original Fleksy app and it has no spacebar
or other keys such as the alternative keyboard button. If you are in this
mini layout mode, you can switch to the mode that does have the spacebar
with the switch keyboard button just to the left of the spacebar by swiping
up with two fingers on the Fleksy keyboard. You can switch back to the mini
layout mode by swiping down with two fingers on the Fleksy keyboard.

I'm enjoying the Fleksy keyboard and am finally finding I can be productive
with it after the handful of inaccessible versions. The one issue I'm still
having with it is that it is sometimes inconsistent with announcing through
VoiceOver what I typed following my swipe right. VoiceOver will say a word
other than anything close to what I wanted and when I swipe left to delete
it, VoiceOver will announce the word that I wanted as being deleted. So,
apparently the correct word is there, VoiceOver is announcing an incorrect
word, and when I delete what I believe to be the incorrect word, I discover
the correct word was there all along. This is inconsistent but pretty
frustrating when it happens.

The other fairly consistent issue is VoiceOver not announcing typed
contractions correctly with Fleksy Keyboard. I've learned a bit of a
workaround. If I type a contraction such as I'll and Fleksy via VO announces
just the letter l when I swipe right, I've learned that the correct
contraction has actually been recognized by the Fleksy keyboard. It's almost
as if the apostrophe in the contraction is confusing what the keyboard sends
to VoiceOver. I've written the Fleksy Support guys about this but have yet
to hear back.

I hope you continue to enjoy the keyboard and I'll post back if I learn
anything new about issues or workarounds.

Thanks for this update on Fleksy. I've downloaded the Fleksy keyboard
and have been using it this weekend for writing in texts and things.
My only gripe a the moment is switching back from Fleksy to the
regular keyboard. When going from the regular keyboard to Emogy and
then to Fleksy, I double tap the Switch to Keyboard button in the
lower left corner. But when using the Fleksy keyboard, I can't find a
reliable way to switch back to the regular keyboard; that switch to
button doesn't seem to be there. I've tried double tapping the Keypad
button thinking that would work but no luck. The only way I've found
to switch back is to go back into Settings and disable the Fleksy
keyboard from my list of keyboards. I do like how I can type with
Fleksy and VoiceOver and get good results, but not being able to
switch keyboards is a downer at the moment.

 back, they are correct but that last word that I'm checking is not what
 VoiceOver read. I'm also getting inconsistent results with contractions.

 Fleksy VO was absolutely the best at consistently getting the right word
 from my keystrokes and working extremely well with VoiceOver.

 Also, if you flick up from the bottom right-hand corner of the keypad, it
 works like an enter key. Good for entering blank lines, and also for doing
 anything that you would hit and enter key  for a normal keypad.
 I find the fleksy app a little sporadic to use. Sometimes it works great
 but,  and other times it seems to put in gibberish and only the second
 selection is the one that you actually typed in. I complain to fleksy
about
 this, they blame it on auto correct, but I have AutoCorrect turned off.
 I agree with you, the fleksy VO version was absolutely the best. I still
 use
 it sometimes when I have to type a long email.

A Question About iOS Notes App Automatically Sending Email

2015-07-20 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

Has anyone experienced the following scenario?  Upon creating a new note in
the native iOS Notes app, an email, containing the contents of the newly
created note, is automatically generated and sent to your Inbox.

After conducting several Google searches, I cannot find a definitive answer
as to why this occurs.  The few articles I did find mention gMail but in my
friend's case, she does not have any gMail accounts.  

I have never had this happen when creating a note but I am curious as to how
to both set it up and/or disable it.

All replies welcomed.

Yes, I get this every time I create a new Notes document. I believe the way
to turn it off is to go to Settings, Notes, double tap on the listed default
account, and unselect the email address listed. My gmail account is listed
on this screen and is checked which I believe causes the emails to be sent
when I create a new note.

Calendars

2015-07-20 Thread Chris Chaffin
Calendar questions:
I have created different calendars within the calendar app like work, 
appointments, birthdays, etc.
I am wanting to do a couple of things.
1, Be able to list all events for a particular calendar, like birthdays, for 
the current month.  So at the first of the month, I could just take a quick 
glance at the birthdays coming up for that month.
2, Be able to list all events within a particular calendar, like appointments 
or work.  Have all the events within a particular calendar be in a list so I 
could quickly look to see what is coming ahead, and this could go further than 
the current month.

I have looked at the native calendar app, plus others like VO Calendar and 
Month Cal, but have not found that this can be done in any of them.
To me, if you are able to create different calendars to help organize events, 
shouldn't there be a way of grouping events by the different calendar 
categories.

If anyone knows how to do this, or knows of a calendar app that does do this, 
please let me know.

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, I do know that I can go into calendars and choose the one I want.  But 
lets say that its July 1st and I want to see what birthdays are coming up in 
July.  I was looking for a way of just listing the birthdays for July without 
having to go through each day of the month.  I am talking about something like

I do not think this is possible, but I think it would be a really good feature.

Re: Help with audio files.

2015-07-20 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Your iPhone should play MP3 files just fine. There is a VLC app for the 
iPhone. I'm not sure what you mean by asking if the iPhone supports 
Winamp or not. I'm not aware of a Winamp app for the iPhone, but you 
could check in the App Store.

Re: extra plug adapter

2015-07-20 Thread Lori Dent

Hi all,

I went today to Radio Shack and bought  their plug adapter that plugs into a 
standard wall outlet  that has two  USB ports so that I can charge several 
of my bluetooth devices  like my bluetooth headset or my bluetooth speaker 
or even my mophia juice battery pack all at the same time.


This  2 port adapter only cost 21  with tax. They didn't have the 4 port 
adapter so I got the 2 port adapter and this will work for me for what I 
have  . I might at a later time purchase another 2 port adapter. Take care.

Re: extra plug adapter

Hi Allen P,

Thanks for your message about the   USB port adapters. I went to Radio Shack 
and bought a 2 port adapter to plug into the wall outlet. Radio Shack 
stopped carrying the 4 port adapter. So with tax I paid $21 and this will 
serve my need to charge several of my bluetooth devices. Take care.

RE: I purchased a used iPhone 5S from Gazelle

2015-07-20 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Sounds like they make a lot of money since I believe they are paying around 
$150 to buy a used 5S, probably less for a 16 Gb model. For $399 you could have 
bought one of the new iPod Touch with the A8 processor and used it for testing 
the iOS 9 beta. Just my thoughts.

Subject: I purchased a used iPhone 5S from Gazelle

Yes, I know, grin, this is of course not the best time to be 
buying a phone.  But, well, seeing as I wanted to test iOS 9 
without risking my iPhone 6, and then I thought I might give the 
phone to a family member once I was done testing, I decided to go 
ahead and make the purchase from Gazelle.  I got a used 5S 16GB 
ATT model the site claimed to be in excellent condition for 
$413.99, which included two day air shipping.

The Gazelle site was easy enough to use, as I mostly opted to use 
it with my computer running Windows 7.  However, I never could 
seem to create an account after adding something to my cart as 
their FAQ claimed.  But, rather, I had to finally create the 
account first, then add the iPhone to my cart and then go through 
the checkout process.  Also, I never could get my debit card to 
go through, getting some error message about fraud.  but, then 
when I switched to paying via PayPal, even with using the 
checking account the previously attempted debit card was tied to, 
the purchase went through without a problem.

I could have chosen various shipping methods, but I opted for the 
two day, as I wanted to be sure the phone would arrive while I 
was off on vacation.  Although, since I'm in Indianapolis, and 
the package shipped from Louisville, I'm almost thinking I may 
have delayed it getting to me, as it spent a whole day in 
Louisville doing nothing before it was shipped to me on that 
second day.  I also opted for their excellent condition model 
phone for $399 plus shipping, as opposed to the one they termed 
in good condition for $329 plus shipping.

The box seemed to be packed well enough, as I had to pretty much 
tear up the box to get to the phone.  The phone was in a zip lock 
bag, and that bag was sandwiched between two pieces of foam.  The 
package also contained the lightning cable, the wall adapter and 
a thank you card for buying from Gazelle.

I had no trouble at all getting VoiceOver to start and in setting 
up the phone.  It came with iOS 8.3, but I updated to iOS 8.4, 
and then to the 9.0 beta.  Although, grin, with this first public 
beta, I very quickly decided to get my education in entering 
recovery mode and restoring back to 8.4.  And, 8.4 works great on 
the 5S, by the way, can't tell much difference than on my 6.

Surprisingly, I was able to use the ATT site and request that 
the 5S be unlocked, and I got back within just a couple of 
minutes the congratulations message that the phone could be 
unlocked.  Thus, I followed the instructions in the email and did 
the backup and restore with iTunes and indeed got the 
congratulations message on my PC that my phone had been unlocked.  
But, not surprisingly, grin, when I went to the Apple support 
site and checked the warranty status, of course I was told there 
was no active phone support or warranty for the device as those 
had expired.  The ATT site had a captcha, for which I used 
FireFox, but the Apple site did not have one.  By the way, the 
Apple site for checking if find my iPhone is turned off on a 
device does have a captcha, but the audioit finally offered me 
was reasonably clear.

All in all, although I was kind of surprised to learn I could buy 
used phones from Gazelle, as I thought they just purchased used 
phones, I am so far very pleased with my purchase, as well as 
with the timely shipment notification and shipping of the 
product.

Hi,
Thanks so much for all this information.  It was most helpful.  I did have to 
go and turn off hidden file types as I'm using windows 7, and thought I had the 
problem solved after that.  I was able to rename the file and it went into the 
proper tones folder in iTunes, but when I went to sync the ring tone, it would 
not sync to the phone.  I tried several times but it did not work.  Any 
thoughts?  I have an iPhone 6 and I am using the latest version of Itunes with 
all the changes to apple music.

RE: extra plug adapter

2015-07-20 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Fazil,

I agree with Allen regarding Anker products. They seem to be well-made and get 
very high ratings on Amazon across their product range of external batteries, 
cables or travel and car chargers.
I also have their 2-port model which is plugged in behind the bed so my wife 
and I can have our iPhones plugged in at the same time and it works as it 
should.
Since you are in Canada, below are direct links for Amazon.ca for their 
Dual-port and 4-port travel chargers and also for the 5-port family/desktop 
charger. The first two are just plugs without any cables which plug directly 
into an outlet just like the Apple USB wall plug. The 5-port desktop charger 
has a cable so it can sit on a desk or table where it's accessible and you plug 
it in to the wall outlet nearby with the cable. Since the Amazon links were 
quite long and would have most likely wrapped over multiple lines which 
sometimes makes them not work, I used the Google URL shortener to avoid this:

Anker 20W Dual-Port USB Wall Charger/Travel Power Adapter with PowerIQ™ 
Technology
