Re: "Where to Go" dog relief area app issue

[Caitlyn Furness]

You look up the airport you will be using and the app gives you directions for 
where the dog relief area is.

Hi Everyone,

I tried to open the TCL Pulse app on my iPad and iPhone and it will not open. 
It worked before with no issues. I think after I updated my iPad to IOS 9.3.1 
now it does not open. I just got my iPhone and downloaded the PCL Pulse app a 
couple days ago but just now tried to open it and it will not open just like it 
does not open on my iPad. Is anyone else having and issues with the PCL Pulse 
App?

Re: Any Time Warner app users out there

[Brent Harding]

Yes, and I heard Charter's app is even harder when it comes to on demand and 
accessibility. I wish some of that would've been included in the conditions 
they have to agree to for this to go through, at least, if the FCC couldn't 
make them make the app stuff accessible, to do the cable boxes by next year 
or whenever that is where new ones have to be accessible, supposedly.

The timewarner app has gone a few steps backwards in the latest version.

You now lose access to the dvr which worked in earlier versions and I
believe the guide is now less accessible.

You have to search for a show now instead of being able to just see
whats on.

They say they are working on fixing it.

Big sigh!

Hi,

We did switch from Time Warner to FIOS in the latter part of February, 
although I was uncertain about the accessibility of their FIOS Mobile app, 
which allows users to watch TV on an iDevice.  Actually, before we 
switched, I did write a message to this list, asking if anyone was using 
the app.  One person did say that she was using it successfully.  Well, I 
began to play with the app and I did it one day over the phone with a 
sighted friend who was using the app.  It really didn't make much 
difference if a sighted person or a blind person was using it.  But, the 
buttons in the menu were labeled for a sighted person and for a VoiceOver 
user, they all sounded like "circle arrow."  Once I picked the right 
"circle arrow" button, (I pressed the second one after hearing "menu 
Image,") all the channels are labeled correctly and there is an "option" 
button that is labeled after each one.  When that button is clicked, there 
are choices that are labeled.  So, my husband, who is also a Voiceover 
user, and I regularly watch TV using our iPhones.  Brian, I'd be happy to 
help you with the app.  If you want to just hear what it would be like, we 
can do it over the phone.  I don't have your phone number, so, if you do 
want help, send me an e-mail off list.  I will admit, though, that the 
Time Warner is easier to use, but, we really like FIOS much better and we 
are saving money with it.

Thanks so much for confirming. Looks like I am going to make the switch 
back as the $30 in savings for Verizon Fios is not worth all the headaches 
with their absolute lack of accessibility and obviously they have no plans 
to improve the accessibility of their website or app. Ridiculous for a 
communications company to have such poor accessibility.

Verizon Fios wants to charge you to pay your bill over the phone. Yes, I

RE: Itunes weird behavior

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Steve,

Did you copy your entire iTunes folder to some backup media such as a USB stick 
or external hard drive before you reinstalled Windows and iTunes? If so, after 
you installed iTunes again, did you delete the iTunes folder which would have 
been created during the installation and copy back the backup folder? This is 
the best way to make sure everything is as it was since the iTunes folder 
contains not only your iTunes media folder which has all your music, tones 
etc., but also it contains the database file and all your settings etc.

Sieghard

Hi,

I’m getting a message I’ve never seen with itunes.  When I tell it to sync 
music or apps, it is telling me that the phone is synked with another library 
and it gives the name of that library which is the name of my computer before I 
had to erase and rebuild it with a new installation of Windows and itunes.  The 
prompt wants me to erase my iphone and restore it using the library from the 
old hard drive since it says it can only be synked to one library at a time.
No idea how a second library got created or where it came from.  I don’t want 
to do this as those files no lonhger exist on the computer if the sync uses the 
computer I will loose everything on my phone.  If the library it is talking 
about is actually on my phone then I guess it would be ok???
Apple support was no help.

I’m not panicing here as everything is safely still on my iphone but I need to 
figure out how to get it in to itunes so I can put it on my new iphone.

Any thoughts?
Thanks -Steve

Re: Deleting A Contact In WhatsApp?

[Mohib Anwar Rafay]

You can not delete a contact from the whatsapp, because  whatsapp
takes contacts from your phonebook only. So you will have to delete it
from your phone. Go to Phone, then contacts, find out the desired
contact, double tab it, then go in edit option, there you can find an
option to delete it.

Deleting A Contact In WhatsApp?

[Fazil]

Hi, list.

I have IPhone5S with IOS9.3.

I gotta question about deleting a WhatsApp contact. I am a group admin of
one of the WhatsApp group. If some one ask me to add them to the group, I
add them first to my contact and then to the group because it is easy adding
this way. I however,  ended up gathering so many unwanted contacts in my
contacts app. I tried to delete one of such contacts from WhatsApp contact
but could not find the delete button there, I also tried to delete this
contact from the app of phone contact but did not get the delete-button
there either.

how can I delete a WhatsApp contact either from the phone or from Whats

App, please?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

RE: ITunes weird behavior

I think I had that same message- probably when Windows7 had to be reinstalled. 
Apple Accessibility was helpful in my case, and I think I did say OK to the

saying so. I’d try Apple Accessibility again- perhaps you’ll have better luck

Hi,

 

I’m getting a message I’ve never seen with itunes.  When I tell it to sync 
music or apps, it is telling me that the phone is synked with another library 
and it gives the name of that library which is the name of my computer before I 
had to erase and rebuild it with a new installation of Windows and itunes.  The 
prompt wants me to erase my iphone and restore it using the library from the 
old hard drive since it says it can only be synked to one library at a time.

No idea how a second library got created or where it came from.  I don’t want 
to do this as those files no lonhger exist on the computer if the sync uses the 
computer I will loose everything on my phone.  If the library it is talking 
about is actually on my phone then I guess it would be ok???

Apple support was no help.

 

I’m not panicing here as everything is safely still on my iphone but I need to 
figure out how to get it in to itunes so I can put it on my new iphone.

 

Any thoughts?

Re: ITUNES AND UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10

['Carol Pearson' via VIPhone]

Hi Sieghard,

Thanks for your hints and they were much as I thought ... so I had it 
right! Now I'm in Windows 10 and this is my first real task (reading 
mail, which isn't really any different) after re-installing Jaws. I 
remember to take all versions of Jaws out and everything installed OK.


As to whether things are in a mess and I'll have to eventually 
re-install, I wouldn't know yet as I haven't even had chance to look at 
the docs given to me, but I'll make my judgment in due course. At least 
it's gone onto my laptop, which started off with XP years back, had a 
bit of a face-lift about a year or so back and has gone from Windows 7 
now to 10. It seems to be as fast as I would expect it to be.


Great, and thanks!

We'll talk again soon.

Carol P

If you have some sort of external drive or USB stick large enough it's best if

iTunes you can do so, then before you open the program for the first time

it with the one you copied from your old machine. Now if you open iTunes all 
should be as it was on your old machine.

I know this is not what some say is necessary and it's beyond the scope of this list, but 
I assume you are on Jaws 17 and I would recommend that you completely uninstall it before 
the upgrade and then reinstall it once the Windows 10 update has finished and everything 
is working. It "should" go OK without this as long as you are on one of the 
Jaws versions of course which support Windows 10, but when I did the update on my laptop 
with Jaws in place all sort of things were weird and not talking properly. I then 
actually went a step further and completely wiped the computer, repartitioned and 
reformatted the hard drive (an SSD in my case) and reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch 
after I used the Media Creation Tool to put Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit on a USB stick from 
which I could install. After that I reinstalled Jaws and all worked beautifully. Of 
course this also was a year ago and Windows 10 is a lot further along than it was then. 
My Mom upgraded her PC without any issues and so did my brother.

Sieghard

Hi all,

The time has come for me to upgrade the computer on which I have iTunes
and I really need advice, as soon as possible, as it's being sorted
tomorrow by a tech friend who knows much better than I, but he doesn't
use iTunes.

Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to ensure that I can get
back into the programme, preferably without having to do all the initial
setting up and putting all my music there once again. Of course I
realise the upgrade itself may not go to plan and will deal with those
eventualities, but would be so glad of some advice on how I should do
this, assuming all works well. My other PC does not have iTunes on it
but I do have all my music safely stored away, should I really come unstuck.

Please let me know specifically what I need to backup for iTunes to work
correctly.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

RE: VoiceOver Speaks Through The Earpiece

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It depends on the Bluetooth headset. The Plantronics Voyager Edge I just 
recently bought is pretty good and there are stereo Bluetooth headsets which 
sound very good for music listening, but phone calls are always of reduced 
quality. This may not be so noticeable during a regular phone call, but if you 
talk to somebody on Skype or via Facetime and the other person uses a Bluetooth 
headset they will not sound as good as with a wired headset, that is simply the 
nature of the beast. I find it’s adequate for regular calls but I don’t use it 
if I talk to somebody on Skype or Facetime because I use these services to some 
degree because of the high call quality.

It is also interesting that the call quality with very expensive stereo 
headsets is usual;ly even worse. I guess the manufacturers think people use 
them for music listening and making or receiving a phone call is not important. 
Therefore they don’t put the same quality of microphones and noise cancellation 
in. The Plantronics Backbeat Sense which I recently purchased and consequently 
returned was aweful that way. I could not get it to even understand me a single 
time when I tried to use SIRI even for something as simple as “What is the 
time”. It would beep, I would say “What is the time” and SIRI wold come back 
and tell me it had trouble understanding me and to try again. A little bit 
disappointing if you spend $200 Canadian on a headset, I think that particular 
headset is $140 or
$150 in the States, still not cheap and only released last year with Bluetooth 
4.0; one would expect better.

useful, if I quickly want to compose a text or long post, without 
accidentally sending it.  :)  Lol, I’ve even done things, like while 
at home I write out a check in post for Facebook, because I know I’ll 
want to check in from the restaurant but not necessarily type it out 
or dictate it in public.


This isn’t an app, but it is a way to use IOS.  I have a Safari Icon 
for the website DirectionsForMe.org  This 
website is very handy for obtaining directions/instructions for foods 
& or drinks.  I have another Safari icon for a local radio station’s 
playlist.  Yet another one for a radio station’s weekly stream of it’s 
Saturday night broadcast.  Love those Safari icons.  :)


Hopefully the above list is helpful & not too long.

Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and the Mac Visionaries 
Mailing

List:

I was having lunch with a friend today at a sunny outdoor café and, 
during

our conversation, the subject of iOS and the number of apps we use on a
regular basis came up.  As we began listing our favorite apps, I 
once again
realized how much iPhone and it’s related apps have revolutionized 
my life

in almost every aspect.

Below I will list the apps I used today and/or within the last two 
days.  In
some cases I will list the name of the app, in others, I will only 
list the

type of app.

I hope you will contribute to this thread by listing the apps you 
use most
often as I and others would like to get to know you and, perhaps, 
discover

an app or two about which we can learn.

Okay, here we go:

1.
Clock:
I use the iOS clock for wake-up alarms and in some cases, to time 
activities

such as workouts or cooking.

2.
Calendar:
I use my Calendar for virtually all my appointments.  Today, for 
example I
was reminded of two upcoming doctor appointments and, of course, 
today’s
lunch date.  I also used it today to schedule new appointments 
including a
date with a person I met via an online dating app which I will list 
below.


3.
Messages:
I send and receive text/iMessages all through the day for everything 
from

staying in touch with friends to financial activity notifications.

4.
The Weather app:
Even though we do not have much variation in our weather patterns 
out here,

I usually check the weather at least once a day, before going out.

5.
Financial apps:
I use my financial institutions, including banks and credit card 
companies,
apps to transfer funds, pay bills, and monitor account activities. 
 Just as
an aside, I do not use any third-party services to manage my 
finances.  AT

this time, I need absolutely no sighted assistance in reading/monitoring
account activity or paying bills.  To me, this is as close to 
miraculous as
it gets.  Some of you may be too young to understand that there was 
a time
in the not-so-distant past, when those of us who were visually 
impaired had

virtually no privacy in such matters.  This is something that we should
never forget.

Re: Adding Apple Music to Sonos

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Jim, a couple of things in addition to Sieghard's explanation.
Adding services with the PC Sonos controller is quite a bit easier I think. 
That's not to say that it's not doable with iOS, but you have to explore by 
touch rather than flick. Hartgen Consultancy has released some free scripts for 
the Windows Sonos controller, so if you're a JAWS and Windows user, it's worth 
grabbing them.
Second, yesterday I released my new book, Sonosthesia. It's a handy guide for 
everyone from Sonos experts to people who just want to know whether a Sonos 
system is for them.
It's at:

Good luck, we love our Sonos system which has a habit of expanding all the time.

Re: Live Audio Broadcasting

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Keith, if you're willing to get a Shoutcast or Icecast server from a 
provider of such things, there are a couple of apps that will let you broadcast 
high quality audio to those servers, and you can provide the links to anyone to 
tune in. In fact I believe iCast2 can post the link to social networks for you.

VarioUltra 40-cell braille display for sell

[Damashe Thomas]

Hello List,

I obtained permission from the list moderator to post this message.
I have a VarioUltra 40-cell braille display for sell. The unit is in perfect 
working condition, and all display cells are functioning.
It is also still under the original warranty from Baum USA, and there are no 
fees for transferring support to the buyer.
I’ll provide a link to the Baum website so you can read all about what the 
device is capable of. The quick highlights are:

up to four simultaneous bluetooth connections
One USB connection
Works as a stand alone device in notetaker mode
I am asking $2500 including shipping and insurance. I can negotiate if you want 
to make a reasonable offer, but one of these brand new costs $3400 in the U.S.
Please contact me off the list at 
m...@damashe.org if you are interested.
Please don’t send any responses to this email list.
Send any and all inquiries and comments to m...@damashe.org

Thanks for your time and thanks to the list moderator for allowing me to post 
this here.

Here’s the link to the Baum product page:

RE: My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

Hi Ron,

That CIBC guy is clueless, if you had to unlock your phone and open the wallet 
up each time you wanted to use it nobody would use it. It works fine from the 
lock screen.

Sieghard,

Apple says you don’t have to but the guy at CIBC told me the wallet app should 
be open.  I don’t know either way because I haven’t tried it yet.  Apple says 
you can do it from the locked screen if you tap the home button twice but, if 
VO is active, that double tap goes to the app switcher.  I kind of gathered 
that I would have to unlock the screen and then it should work but, then again, 
the guy at CIBC told me the wallet app should be open so, who do I believe.

Any comments anyone?

Hi again,

OK, of course I had to try this so when I had to run a few erands today with my 
manager I asked him to go through the McDonald drive-through. When we came to 
the pick-up window the lady gave him the machine, I leaned over and held my 
iPhone 6S Plus up to it after waking it up (I was on the lockscreen). I saw 
that it popped up with my CIBC Visa and I put my thumb on the home button, but 
nothing happened. I finally tapped on “Use Passcode” and the keypad came up, 
but I was not able to enter my passcode because the phone/Voiceover became so 
entirely sluggish that I couldn’t do anything. Of course it was lunch hour and 
cars were piling up behind us. I tried to enter my passcode but couldn’t do it 
because of the sluggishness of the phone.
I finally pulled out my Mastercard and had barely tapped it against the machine 
when it beeped and the transaction was approved.
So, Apple Pay 0, tap method 1. I have to try again another time maybe at a 
place where there is no time pressure. I did go into Settings > Passcode and 
Touch Id afterwards to make sure, but Touch Id was enabled for Apple Pay so 
that was not the reason.

Hi fellow Canadians,

This morning I was browsing through the news articles with the CBC News app on 
my iPhone and in the Tech and Science section found an article which surprised 
me and also made me quite happy.
The article explained that as of today CIBC and Royal Bank credit card holders 
can add their credit cards in the Wallet app and use Apple Pay. So far only 
American express card holders were able to use Apple Pay in Canada (since last 
November I think) and not that many people here have American Express cards and 
in many stores even some larger chains they aren’t even accepted since they 
charge a much higher percentage for the merchant. I accept American Express at 
my store and get charged 3.5% whereas I only pay 1.6% for Visa and Mastercard 
although there are a few extra fees on top of that 1.6% for premium cards, 
corporate cards etc.
Anyhow, the article went on to say that Bank of Montreal Mastercards should 
follow soon and that Scotia and TD debit cards are not far behind.
I am a Scotia Bank customer both for my business and personal accounts, but I 
do have a CIBC Aeroplan Gold Visa  so I promptly opened Wallet and within a 
minute or two I had added my card.
I was still in bed as it was early and too lazy to go get my card to try and 
take a picture of it so I chose to add it manually.
When I first started I was asked for my Apple Id password. I then typed in the 
card number, tapped next and then selected the expiry date and typed in the 
3-digit card verification code. After tapping next again I was asked to select 
a verification option and here I had email or text message as an option. I 
selected text message and 2 seconds after I tapped Next I received a text 
message with a 6-digit code which I had to type in, after that I received the 
message that my card had been added.

RE: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ron,

Yes, I did see the option to activate it by calling, but since email and text 
message was also an option I did it that way and I think doing it this way is 
much faster because I never even left the setup screen. After I tapped on text 
message the it took maybe 2 or 3 seconds for the text message to arrive and 
since I have notifications set to banner and my screen was unlocked Voiceover 
automatically read the text message, I listened to the code and typed it in and 
that was that.

Anyhow, I also read about the $100 limit and I don’t think I would try to run 
multiple transactions as that sounds like too much trouble compared to just 
sticking in my real card and typing in a 4-digit PIN. Maybe if only a touch 
screen terminal was available I would insist of doing it the other way. But I 
find that many places where they have touch screen terminals there is at least 
one other one that has buttons.

In my case, I called the CIBC 800 number and selected to talk to a human.  The 
guy walked me through it. In my case, I had already been using my CIBC Visa 
card in the Apple store so it came up automatically with the 4 last digits 
showing.  I just had to tap on add and agree to the terms.  Since I was on the 
phone with the guy, he authorized my card to be used without having to send me 
the 6 digit code.  I then got this message congratulating me and my card was 
added.

In the stores where I am known, they have suggested charging twice if the 
amount was over $100 so I made a payment of $100 and then another payment of 
the balance.  That’s with tapping my card but, he told me the same can be done 
if the clerk is willing to.

"With the support of two of the largest banks in Canada, BMO Financial Group 
and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), consumer adoption of Apple Pay is expected to 
increase significantly," the statement said. "Many of Moneris's largest 
customers, including McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited, are 100 per cent 
contactless enabled and ready to accept Apple Pay."
London Drugs, Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, Petro-Canada, and Pizza Hut are among

I have a feeling that Apple Pay adoption here in Canada will be very fast since 
when it comes to contactless payments we are a lot further along as stores in 
the States. Here chip cards have been around for many 

RE: My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ron,

Apple Pay is a “contactless” payment method just like tapping a chip card is. 
However, in the article on CBC it was not mentioned that Apple Pay 
automatically works on any tap enabled credit card terminal. I’ll try it later 
at Shoppers Drug Mart and see if it works.

Hi ED,

Not all credit card machines can take a tap of the card and, from what I was 
told, Apple pay works on the terminals where you can tap the card.

Hey,

I tried this in Walgreens here in Montana (USA). It worked pretty well, and was 
pretty quick. I tried it when it was announced, and it wasn’t as accessible as 
I would have liked. I still had to put in a pin on the credit card machine.

Thanks,

nothing happened. I finally tapped on “Use Passcode” and the keypad came up,

entirely sluggish that I couldn’t do anything. Of course it was lunch hour and 
cars were piling up behind us. I tried to enter my passcode but couldn’t do it 
because of the sluggishness of the phone.
I finally pulled out my Mastercard and had barely tapped it against the machine 
when it beeped and the transaction was approved.
So, Apple Pay 0, tap method 1. I have to try again another time maybe at a 
place where there is no time pressure. I did go into Settings > Passcode and 
Touch Id afterwards to make sure, but Touch Id was enabled for Apple Pay so 
that was not the reason.

Subject: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

Hi fellow Canadians,

This morning I was browsing through the news articles with the CBC News app on 
my iPhone and in the Tech and Science section found an article which surprised 
me and also made me quite happy.
The article explained that as of today CIBC and Royal Bank credit card holders 
can add their credit cards in the Wallet app and use Apple Pay. So far only 
American express card holders were able to use Apple Pay in Canada (since last 
November I think) and not that many people here have American Express cards and 
in many stores even some larger chains they aren’t even accepted since they 
charge a much higher percentage for the merchant. I accept American Express at 
my store and get charged 3.5% whereas I only pay 1.6% for Visa and Mastercard 
although there are a few extra fees on top of that 1.6% for premium cards, 
corporate cards etc.
Anyhow, the article went on to say that Bank of Montreal Mastercards should 
follow soon and that Scotia and TD debit cards are not far behind.
I am a Scotia Bank customer both for my business and personal accounts, but I 
do have a CIBC Aeroplan Gold Visa  so I promptly opened Wallet and within a 
minute or two I had added my card.
I was still in bed as it was early and too lazy to go get my card to try and 
take a picture of it so I chose to add it manually.
When I first started I was asked for my Apple Id password. I then typed in the 
card number, tapped next and then selected the expiry date and typed in the 
3-digit card verification code. After tapping next again I was asked to select 
a verification option and here I had email or text message as an option. I 
selected text message and 2 seconds after I tapped Next I received a text 
message with a 6-digit code which I had to type in, after that I received the 
message that my card had been added.
It will be interesting to see if this works at most 

RE: VoiceOver Speaks Through The Earpiece

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you invoke SIRI from a Bluetooth headset and it speaks through the phone you 
can look for an audio routing button on your phone. Tap it and select your 
Bluetooth headset and then SIRI will come through your headset.
I believe it's usually located near the bottom of the screen.

Re: My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Ron and all,

Go into Settings/Wallet & Apple Pay and make sure "double-click Home button" is 
on. Regardless of whether VoiceOver is on or not pressing Home twice when the 
phone is locked will then get it ready for a transaction. Pressing Home twice 
brings up the app switcher only if the phone is unlocked. I believe you 
double-click and then leave your finger on the Home button.

In some cases, you may not have to double-click Home; touching the Home button 
may be enough.

Best,
Anna

Is there a way that I don’t have to restart the phone to switch VO back to main

RE: My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[M. Taylor]

Hello Sieghard,  

I’ve never tried using Apple Pay via a drive-through but, in the normal course 
of events, I do the following at MacDonald’s, inside the restaurant.

1.
As a general rule of thumb, I restart my phone at the beginning of every day.

2.
Once the order has been placed, I ask the sales associate, if she/he is ready 
to receive payment.  You would be amazed at how often he/she will reply, “Just 
one moment.”  

3.
Once the okay is given, with the phone locked, with my thumb on the Home 
button—not pressing it but merely touching it, I lower the phone down to almost 
touching the terminal.  I hold the phone there for about 1-2 seconds until it 
vibrates.  During that time, the phone wakes up and the transaction takes 
place.  

That’s really all there is to it.  

Now keep in mind that I have not disabled any Touch-ID lock screen features.

Mark

Hi again,

OK, of course I had to try this so when I had to run a few erands today with my 
manager I asked him to go through the McDonald drive-through. When we came to 
the pick-up window the lady gave him the machine, I leaned over and held my 
iPhone 6S Plus up to it after waking it up (I was on the lockscreen). I saw 
that it popped up with my CIBC Visa and I put my thumb on the home button, but 
nothing happened. I finally tapped on “Use Passcode” and the keypad came up, 
but I was not able to enter my passcode because the phone/Voiceover became so 
entirely sluggish that I couldn’t do anything. Of course it was lunch hour and 
cars were piling up behind us. I tried to enter my passcode but couldn’t do it 
because of the sluggishness of the phone.
I finally pulled out my Mastercard and had barely tapped it against the machine 
when it beeped and the transaction was approved.
So, Apple Pay 0, tap method 1. I have to try again another time maybe at a 
place where there is no time pressure. I did go into Settings > Passcode and 
Touch Id afterwards to make sure, but Touch Id was enabled for Apple Pay so 
that was not the reason.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi fellow Canadians,

This morning I was browsing through the news articles with the CBC News app on 
my iPhone and in the Tech and Science section found an article which surprised 
me and also made me quite happy.
The article explained that as of today CIBC and Royal Bank credit card holders 
can add their credit cards in the Wallet app and use Apple Pay. So far only 
American express card holders were able to use Apple Pay in Canada (since last 
November I think) and not that many people here have American Express cards and 
in many stores even some larger chains they aren’t even accepted since they 
charge a much higher percentage for the merchant. I accept American Express at 
my store and get charged 3.5% whereas I only pay 1.6% for Visa and Mastercard 
although there are a few extra fees on top of that 1.6% for premium cards, 
corporate cards etc.
Anyhow, the article went on to say that Bank of Montreal Mastercards should 
follow soon and that Scotia and TD debit cards are not far behind.
I am a Scotia Bank customer both for my business and personal accounts, but I 
do have a CIBC Aeroplan Gold Visa  so I promptly opened Wallet and within a 
minute or two I had added my card.
I was still in bed as it was early and too lazy to go get my card to try and 
take a picture of it so I chose to add it manually.
When I first started I was asked for my Apple Id password. I then typed in the 
card number, tapped next and then selected the expiry date and typed in the 
3-digit card verification code. After tapping next again I was asked to select 
a verification option and here I had email or text message as an option. I 
selected text message and 2 seconds after I tapped Next I received a text 
message with a 6-digit code which I had to type in, after that I received the 
message that my card had been added.
It will be interesting to see if this works at most places where contactless 
transactions are already an option which is very common here. The article says 
this:

"With the support of two of the largest banks in Canada, BMO Financial Group 
and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), consumer adoption of Apple Pay is expected to 
increase significantly," the statement said. "Many of Moneris's 

Re: "Where to Go" dog relief area app issue

[Caitlyn Furness]

Have you rebooted your i device lately??  sometimes this can help..
I haven’t had to use that particular app for a while now, but when I did, it 
worked fine.  this was about three years ago, though, so I’m not sure if 
they’ve changed anything, etc, or if they are keeping up with things.

hth,
Caitlyn
