I'm not Sieghard, but keep in mind that right now the apple TV 4 does not support described audio from Netflix out of the box. You will need to call Netflix technical support and request that they enable it for you. Depending on who you call it could be a struggle. Good luck! -Original

Cara's post was very well stated. One thing I would add is that some of us have paid to be iOS testers before public betas were available, and diligently reported bugs before release. So even if Apple's own QA people missed issues like the touch tone bug in iOS 8, or the call answering bugs in

Hi Wayne, it's useful when you want to bypass VO gestures. So let's say you have a virtual piano, and all you want to do is press on the keys and play. You wouldn't want to have to double tap each key. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training

I must admit, it doesn't appear in my rotor as often as I'd like it to. There are a few apps I use where I need gestures to go directly to the app, and they often won't. On 01/12/2015 15:35, Jonathan Mosen wrote: Hi Wayne, it's useful when you want to bypass VO gestures. So let's say you

Apple, Don't Take my Headphone Jack Away

Hi everyone, I waited a few days to see if this issue might be raised by someone else. But I'll raise it here myself, because I'm not sure whether Apple may be flying a kite here and seeing what reaction this idea gets. There's an unconfirmed rumour from a source that has in the past been

I didn't like the idea of the 3.5 mm headphone jack removal in the future iPhones if it were to be true. I was thinking, they may have some sort of lightning connector for the headphones, which means that Apple would probably sell a 3.5 mm to lightning connector adapter. Sounds like something

I certainly agree about the current state of Bluetooth. With iOS 9 and my iPhone, it is horrible. There are weird volume issues among other things, along with the ridiculous latency, which instead of getting better with the new Bluetooth standard, has actually gotten worse. Rather than screw
