OK. I will see about writing the atbat folks. But for those folks who have the 
atbat app and have notifications active, have you found a way to get the 
individual video highlights that are pointed out in notifications? Thus far, 
when I go there, I double tap on things and I’m not getting any audio.

2019-03-30 Thread Richard Turner

I'm not sure which bug they were referring to; but the one I'm still bothered 
by is still there.
When you turn the rotor to messages and flick down say to message 3 of 5, focus 
may jump back to message 1 or 2. It can take two or three tries to get the 
focus to stick on the third message; or the 5th out of 10 etc.

Download iOS 12.2 Today and Try Out These New Features By David
Murphy, Monday 5:30pm

Right on cue-it being Apple announcement day and all-the services-oriented tech 
giant has released the latest version of its iOS operating system. If you don't 
already have it, or have yet to receive the notification that an iOS update is 
available, simply tap on your Settings app > General > Software Update to begin 
the download. It'll take a while; it took me about an hour or so to download 
and install the update on a reasonably fast internet connection.
While you wait, here are some of the big features you can look forward to with 
the update.

Apple News+
You can now pay Apple $10/mo to consolidate your many magazine subscriptions 
into a single digital package. If you're on the fence about Apple's offering, 
you do get a one-month trial to play around with the new service.
Don't forget to cancel it if you don't want it, however, as you'll 
automatically be billed for the next month's subscription if you forget.
And, as Apple noted today, you can share your subscription with up to six 
family members via Apple's Family Sharing feature. Anyone feel like adopting me?

Canada finally gets Apple News
Stop the presses. Canadian Apple fans can now read the news via Apple's 
self-titled app-either in French or English, of course.

More silly Animoji
If you like turning your head into animals and sending quirky little virtual 
videos (or pictures, if you just tap your fake noggin) to your friends, you're 
in luck. You now get a giraffe, a shark, a warthog, and an owl.
(Hey, Apple: Open up an "App Store for Animoji" and let other people
create safe-for-work virtual creations. You could probably make even
more services
revenue.)

Siri and Apple TV
Update your Apple TV to tvOS 12.2, and your iOS device(s) to iOS 12.2, and 
you'll be able to control what's on your Apple TV with a lot more granularity. 
As MacRumors notes:
"tvOS 12.2, when paired with iOS 12.2, is designed to allow users to ask Siri 
to play specific media on an Apple TV from an iOS device. You can, for example, 
ask Siri to play Modern Family on the TV in the living room, or Pitch Perfect 
on the TV in the bedroom. This feature is available for music, TV shows, and 
movies."

That "5G E" icon
If you're an AT subscriber, you might see a new "5G E" icon in the 
upper-right corner of your iPhone. You can now brag to your friends that you 
have an even better mobile connection than they do, and they can remind you 
that "5G E" is just AT's bullshit way to say "faster LTE," since your iPhone 
(as of when we wrote this) doesn't actually support 5G connectivity whatsoever. 
Isn't friendship grand.

Re: Question for users of MLB at bat

2019-03-30 Thread Richard Turner

No Mary, I'm the confused one. This falls under what happens when you assume.
I didn't pay attention to the fact you have an MLB TV subscription.
So, ignore what I said, and yes, I know there were condensed games before with 
the TV subscription.
Sounds like it is time to talk to the At Bat people.
Good luck,

RE: Apple cancels AirPower wireless charging mat, citing quality issues

Exactly, it's all speculation and who cares. They announced it won't happen and 
that's that. All the speculation about people being upset and all that is also 
just over-rated. It's a very small percentage of all people who will be upset, 
they are the ones who keep tabs on this type of stuff. The other 95% or more 
probably don't even know Apple was working on this and happily go on with their

I'm not sure Apple gets sued any more than the other big guys, and they bring 
their own share of law suits. Sounds to me like people are just feeling sorry 
for Apple. Remember, no one has provided any evidence that this product was 
dropped due to law suits, and the fact that it was delayed would indicate 
issues with supplies, quality or other technical difficulties.

Thank you, Sieghard, for your reply.  You bring up a good point when you 
mention how easy it could be for someone stealing a phone to gain access to an 
account if the "comma pause" feature were to be implemented.  This drawback 
coupled with the possible difficulty of precisely managing the number of commas 
to be inserted before the string of auto-dialed digits might well dissuade my 
friend from trying the feature; but I'll tell him about it anyway.

Re: Question for users of MLB at bat

2019-03-30 Thread Mary Otten
Well, I don’t think I understand. Last year I had MLB TV through T-Mobile, just 
like I do this year. And last year I got these notifications for condensed 
games. And what you got when you hit the condensed game could be a mix of audio 
and video. Sometimes it wasn’t even your home team broadcaster. But at least it 
was there. Thus far, when I get a notification for something that’s going on in 
the game, and I go there, and it’s apparently a video, I can’t figure out how 
to play it. So altogether it’s kind of a bummer. And are you saying that in 
order to get the audio you have to have a separate subscription? I thought the 
TV subscription covered everything like it did last year. Color me confused.

Re: Apple cancels AirPower wireless charging mat, citing quality issues

2019-03-30 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm not sure Apple gets sued any more than the other big guys, and they 
bring their own share of law suits. Sounds to me like people are just 
feeling sorry for Apple. Remember, no one has provided any evidence that 
this product was dropped due to law suits, and the fact that it was 
delayed would indicate issues with supplies, quality or other technical 
difficulties.

Patent owners have got to be looking to cash in, whether they have a

Re: Question for users of MLB at bat

It looks like there are just video highlights with the MLB TV subscription, but 
not with the audio subscription.
That is a drag.

Re: Voice dream scanner has been released

2019-03-30 Thread Richard Turner

Also, comparing Voice Dream Scanner with Seeing AI is like comparing apples to 
oranges.
Voice Dream scanner allows for multipage documents, you can save them as one 
document, it is fast, accurate, and does it all on the phone.
Seeing AI; which is fantastic for some things, is not designed really as a one 
function app, but a toolbox for multiple things.
I would use Seeing AI for product bar codes, wanting to know immediately what a 
document is with the short text, and maybe a couple other things; but I would 
never use it for multipage documents now that Voice Dream Scanner is available.
Seeing AI requires that you stop and share each document scan and then piece 
them together later.
Just my .2¢ worth.

Yes they are two different apps, but not having to use the internet is a plus, 
so Voice Dream Scanner and Seeing AI are both good for different things.

Re: Voice dream scanner has been released

2019-03-30 Thread John's Gmail
VoiceDream Scanner reads the whole page like Seeing AI does in document mode 
but VoiceDream does it faster and much more accurately.  It also keeps the 
information on your phone so things like credit card numbers are not shared 
with the world.  VoiceDream Scanner has been the only device that I have been 
able to read serial numbers off Braille Writers.  Before this I have been using 
one of the apps that call upon sighted readers. I am going to buy it tomorrow.  
Maybe even before that.

Re: Apple cancels AirPower wireless charging mat, citing quality issues

Also, the sheer number of patent suits Apple gets has got to be 
astronomical, especially after the Qualcom loss.


Patent owners have got to be looking to cash in, whether they have a claim 
against Apple or not.  The apple legal team has got to be overworked, or at

Apple Watch Explorer face lost its numbers after watchOS 5.2? You're not alone, 9 to 5 Mac

2019-03-30 Thread M. Taylor
Apple Watch Explorer face lost its numbers after watchOS 5.2? You're not
alone
By Zac Hall 
 
Notice something weird about your Apple Watch since updating to watchOS 5.2?
There's a software bug affecting the Explorer watch face on the latest Apple
Watch update.
The Explorer face, recognized for its bold red watch hands, is only
available on the cellular models of Apple Watch Series 3 and later; GPS-only
models and older watches don't feature the special analog watch face.
If you do have the Explorer face, you may notice that the minute and hour
numbers are missing since updating to this week's watchOS 5.2 software
update. The Explorer watch face is presented correctly in the Watch app on
the iPhone, but minuter and hour numbers have vanished on the actual watch
face running on the Apple Watch.
Since the Explorer watch face is still presented correctly on the iPhone's
Watch app, we can only assume this is a software bug and not a design
change. Comically, the second and third style of the Explorer face are
barely distinguishable without the optional hour numerals present.
Apple has a new watchOS software update shipping to developers today for
testing, version 5.2.1, so we'll dive in and see if the Explorer bug is
resolved in the new beta release.
In the meantime, you're not alone if your Explorer face lost its numbers.
The good news is that the watchOS update expands Apple's ECG app beyond the
US into Hong Kong and 19 countries across Europe.

Shortcuts 2.2 brings support for Apple Notes with handwriting recognition, iMore

2019-03-30 Thread M. Taylor
Shortcuts 2.2 brings support for Apple Notes with handwriting recognition
The Shortcuts app has a few new features to make your experience better than
ever.
By Matthew Cassinelli, 28 Mar 2019

Apple has released version 2.2 of the Shortcuts app, bringing with it new
actions for the default Notes app, updates to the Travel Time and Adjust
Date action, adds support for Baidu Maps, and includes a number of smaller
features and some critical bug fixes.
Overall the update brings some much-need stability, a new set of tools for
everyday users to play around with and discover how to integrate into their
workflow, and opens up transportation automation for a huge subset of users
worldwide. Here's how.
Support for the Notes app
With the new support for Notes, users can use Create Note, Append to Note,
Find Notes, and Show Note in the course of their custom shortcuts, allowing
for programmatic interaction with the thoughts and ideas they've jotted
down.
It's now possible to create notes in the background without displaying the
Notes compose sheet, to add to the same note over and over with Append to
Note, to bring the text of your Notes into Shortcuts and act on them, and to
open Notes to any individual note that you're working with (used in
combination with one of the other three actions).
Plus, anytime you are working Notes content as a variable in Shortcuts, you
can tap on the variable to extract further details like only the body, the
Folder it resides in within the Notes app, and the Creation or Modification
date.
Even further, we've discovered that the Find Notes action brings in the full
text of anything that's been hand-written in your notes - as long as iOS can
recognize the word. This means that users of iPads and the Apple Pencil (or
with other styluses or using your finger on iPhone) can write things out by
hand, use Find Notes to grab that note, and copy out what they've written.
Previously it was only possible to search for Notes and have it return the
words it recognizes, but now that OCR (optical character recognition) works
in conjunction with the Shortcuts app, and any other potential endpoint it
can hook into. This is a huge leap for handwriting on iOS, because any
advanced support required third-party apps - and now, it can be scripted
into your shortcuts, and even triggered with Siri to grab that text out of a
note, which is pretty powerful stuff.

More actions and updates
Alongside the Notes actions, Apple added Get Numbers From Input, support for
Baidu maps, updates to the Travel Time action, and the addition of Get Start
of Calendar Week to the Adjust Date action.
Get Numbers From Input works as a way to find any values inside content and
extract just that data, ignoring all of the text or other information that's
non-numeric. Using this, people can scrape out information from inside
larger chunks of content, strip out the units for any measurements they
might be working with, and get just the numbers they might need. This action
drops in alongside other "Get  from Input" actions like those that grab
email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, dates, text, dictionaries, URLs,
addresses, and images too, which can be handy for information workflows.

Shortcuts has also added support for opening into Baidu Maps if you have it
installed, which means you can use the Show Directions action in either
Driving, Walking, Biking, or Transit mode. For the millions and millions of
Chinese users who rely on this for transportation, this is a huge boon for
their automation potential. Curiously, however, Baidu Maps isn't supported
within the Show in Maps action.

But for those using Apple Maps and the Get Travel Time action, there are
some welcome additions to the information provided. Beyond just getting the
total length of the trip, users can tap on any Travel Time variables and
further extract the Arrival Time, Route Name, and Distance to the
destination.
That means it's much easier to set up commuting shortcuts that tell your
family when you're getting home, or have Siri inform you which route to take
by asking the HomePod as you prepare to leave, or estimate how far it is
between two destinations.
And in a small but helpful update, the Adjust Date action can return the
start of the current week in addition the the start of the minute, hour,
day, and month. Previously it'd require fancy date and time math to
calculate when the previous Sunday is based off the current date, and now
it's a feature in the app.
While the usefulness of this depends on your needs, it means it's much
easier to build shortcuts that estimate weekly ranges - say you do a weekly
report and want the dates for Sunday and the next Saturday to display at the
top of your report, now you can Adjust Date set to Get Start of Current Week
and use another Adjust Date to add 6 days to it. Or you could curate a
weekly playlist in Apple Music with a nicely-formatted description
specifying the date range.

app is six dollars in the App Store, well $5.99, and is, at least in my 
opinion, worth it by a long shot better than KNFB Reader, for which I paid a 
lot more than six bucks.

Whew, what a resource you are Keith. I've got to let this sink in. Thanks for

Ugh. Just looking up the Brother printers which Keith recommended was an 
ordeal. Some of the older models don't have proprietary cartridges but others 
do.  

But most have been stable, and there are generic substitutes. For example, our 
5240DN and the 2700DW (12 years younger) take the same consumables 
(toner+fuser). So "proprietary" doesn't have to mean expensive or hard to get. 
Indeed, for the cost per page, the Brother has been exceptionally cheap, as we 
often use aftermarket clones of the proprietary toner, and each toner cartridge 
lasts us more than a year (with our inkjet printers, if we don't print 
regularly, we waste a lot of ink clearing the heads ;<).

 

Accessibility is all over the map, and I'm not in a good position to evaluate 
the various models. The relatively low cost MFC models (typically less than 
$140) would appear to be a bit challenging on the accessibility front. But once 
set up, probably pretty usable for most operations.

 

Scans are as good as originals for most purposes (but I have no idea how one 
would be able to judge in an accessible fashion!). you hadn't mentioned a 
particular weight goal, since you had spoken of printing and scanning, I 
suggested their MFC (multi-function copier) series.

 

As for snapshots, while some of the apps do a fairly acceptable job, it's 
fundamentally harder/less accurate to have to shoot at an angle and correct vs. 
the scanner having a truly flat scan surface. So if you are trying to eliminate 
paper, I'd go with a scanner.

 

if lightweight is critical, something like the Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable 
Scanner may do the trick.

 

If you have a lot of paper to convert, Epson and Fujitsu make duplex scanners 
(that is, both sides of the page in one go). The Fujitsu ScanSnaps are highly 
rated, but run about $400-500 (new). For full sized paper, these are easier to 
use than flatbeds. However, if you are doing small paper (e.g. receipts) the 
flatbeds may be easier. But before destroying the originals, someone should 
verify that the scan is clear and readable ... and I have no idea how one would 
do that in a properly accessible manner.

 

Book pages are probably most easily captured with a manual scanning device 
(some are pretty inexpensive) but its pretty hard to ensure good results. I've 
got a small vuepoint https://www.vupointsolutions.com/magic-wand which *can* 
produce a good scan, but it takes good hand/eye coordination (and sometimes a 
couple of tries) so I'd rate it as probably a bad bet w.r.t. accessibility.

 

Meanwhile an architect friend says get rid of all paper. digitize everything. 
Are scans really that good or at least snapshots of anything you scan don't 
lie, do they? It's only if you need accurate optical recognition where it gets 
tricky.

Snaps usually can be spotted vs. a scanned image. If the goal is to have it 
look as much like the original as possible ... I'd avoid snaps. 

 

So, do you want/need a combined unit (printing/scanning)? Do you need color 
(print? scan??). Can you get by with only the normal operations being 
accessible? (having an assistant for the less common operations?). Do you have 
a ton of existing paper to convert, or just a document or two infrequently? If 
it's pretty infrequent, using a local Kinkos might not be a bad solution.

Re: Voice dream scanner has been released

2019-03-30 Thread Merv Keck
Hi,
I also have KNFB and just downloaded Voice DREAm Scanner. I also updated VDR. I 
am totally impressed with Voice Dream Scanner. I was worried that I would be 
disappointed because of all of the hype while it was in beta. Even on the KNFB 
list. In my opinion, after using Voice Dream Scanner on some difficult 
documents that even KNFB would not touch, Voice Dream Scanner is totally worth 
the hype.

Thank you, Sieghard, for your reply.  You bring up a good point when

implemented.  This drawback coupled with the possible difficulty of
precisely managing the number of commas to be inserted before the
string of auto-dialed digits might well dissuade my friend from trying
the feature; but I'll tell him about it anyway.

Voice dream scanner has been released

2019-03-30 Thread Mary Otten
Voice stream scanner is now in the App Store, along with an updated version of 
voice dream reader which works together with the new scanning app. The scanning 
app is six dollars in the App Store, well $5.99, and is, at least in my 
opinion, worth it by a long shot better than KNFB Reader, for which I paid a 
lot more than six bucks.

Right, and lakes aren't bad, especially if you know how to swim for those

AIRA is probably your best bet or maybe one of the apps that uses AI

getting quite a bit done this summer. I love the ocean and pools. Have
not been swimming in a lake yet though.

Re: [EXTERNAL] RE: odd vibration happening

2019-03-30 Thread 'Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.' via VIPhone
I get that exact thing sometimes when listening to a YouTube video. I don’t 
know why it works that way sometimes and not others. It seems like it’s more 
likely when I click on a link within a Mail message and it begins to play in 
YouTube.

The other thing to check is to make sure your phone is not in fact muted, since 
you described the problem as if it is acting like a call coming in when the 
phone is muted.

The mute switch could easily get bumped if you don’t have the phone in a case, 
or if the case you have leaves it exposed.  The case on my 8 Plus has a door I 
have to open to access the mute switch.  I frequently bumped the mute switch

Hi all.  I’m hoping I can describe this in a way that makes sense.  
Occasionally my phone starts to vibrate in short vibration bursts.  This may go 
on for a minute or so and I can’t figure out what it means.  I close out all 
apps but the vibrations continue.  They’re almost like the vibrations when I 
get a call and the phone is muted, but I don’t see a missed call.  Any 
thoughts?  I’ve seen this 3 times in the last week or so. Thanks in advance.
God bless!

No proof, just a hypothesis that seems more and more plausible due to the

RE: Apple Pay

2019-03-30 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Susie,

As far as I know, in order to use person-to-person money transfer, you must 
have a virtual Apple Cash card setup on your account.  

Also, unless I am mistaken, the recipient must also have Apple Pay Cash setup 
on her/his account.  

In order to setup the Apple Cash card, you must have 2-factor authentication 
enabled, for security purposes.

When the Apple Card is released, it will combine itself, Apple Pay, and the 
Apple Cash card into some kind of cohesive unit.

Keep in mind that in order to setup the virtual cash card, you may have to 
provide your social security number and other personal info for identity 
verification.

I tried sending a few audio texts, and people couldn't really understand them, 
so soon will be downloading the update. I don't know if I'll try the audio now 
though, since I have begun to use the keyboard for text messages. 

Best regards,

One feature I thought was interesting:
Apple has boosted the quality of the audio messages you leave in Messages by 
adopting a different codec (Opus) at 24000 Hz instead of the previous AMR 
Narrowband codec at 8000 Hz. Neat.
This is actually not neat, it's about time because I always thought it was 
incredibly ridiculous for Apple, who always claims to put such focus on 
quality, to offer this audio message feature where a message you recorded 
sounded like ti was a recording from a 1990's era answering machine recording 
on a mini cassette tape. I never used this feature and would use WhatsApp 
instead because at least my recording was high quality.
I'll have to try this out and if it's in fact good quality audio now I might 
use this feature more.

Download iOS 12.2 Today and Try Out These New Features By David Murphy, Monday 
5:30pm
 
Right on cue-it being Apple announcement day and all-the services-oriented tech 
giant has released the latest version of its iOS operating system. If you don't 
already have it, or have yet to receive the notification that an iOS update is 
available, simply tap on your Settings app > General > Software Update to begin 
the download. It'll take a while; it took me about an hour or so to download 
and install the update on a reasonably fast internet connection.
While you wait, here are some of the big features you can look forward to with 
the update. 

Apple News+
You can now pay Apple $10/mo to consolidate your many magazine subscriptions 
into a single digital package. If you're on the fence about Apple's offering, 
you do get a one-month trial to play around with the new service.
Don't forget to cancel it if you don't want it, however, as you'll 
automatically be billed for the next month's subscription if you forget.
And, as Apple noted today, you can share your subscription with up to six 
family members via Apple's Family Sharing feature. Anyone feel like adopting me?

Canada finally gets Apple News
Stop the presses. Canadian Apple fans can now read the news via Apple's 
self-titled app-either in French or English, of course.

More silly Animoji
If you like turning your head into animals and sending quirky little virtual 
videos (or pictures, if you just tap your fake noggin) to your friends, you're 
in luck. You now get a giraffe, a shark, a warthog, and an owl. 
(Hey, Apple: Open up an "App Store for Animoji" and let other people create 
safe-for-work virtual creations. You could probably make even more services
revenue.)

Siri and Apple TV
Update your Apple TV to tvOS 12.2, and your iOS device(s) to iOS 12.2, and 
you'll be able to control what's on your Apple TV with a lot more granularity. 
As MacRumors notes:
"tvOS 12.2, when paired with iOS 12.2, is designed to allow users to ask Siri 
to play specific media on an Apple TV from an iOS device. You can, for example, 
ask Siri to play Modern Family on the TV in the living room, or Pitch Perfect 
on the TV in the bedroom. This feature is available for music, TV shows, and 
movies." 

That "5G E" icon
If you're an AT subscriber, you might see a new "5G E" icon in the 
upper-right corner of your iPhone. You can now brag to your friends that you 
have an even better mobile connection than they do, and they can remind you 
that "5G E" is just AT's bullshit way to say "faster LTE," since your iPhone 
(as of when we wrote this) doesn't actually support 5G connectivity whatsoever. 
Isn't friendship grand.

Higher-quality audio Messages
This is a simple one, but Apple has boosted the quality of the audio messages 
you leave in Messages by adopting a different codec (Opus) at 24000 Hz instead 
of the previous AMR Narrowband codec at 8000 Hz. Neat.

More specific screen "Downtime"
You can now customize which days and times you want to schedule "Downtime"
via iOS' Screen Time feature. As a reminder, if your phone is in "Downtime"
mode, you'll only be able to use certain apps (you choose) and your device's 
Phone app. That's it. Sorry, Facebook.
 
Group Facetime is back!
Yes, that horrible Group Facetime bug that allowed others to eavesdrop on what 
you were doing is gone, and the feature is back for all to use. Enjoy your 
Brady Bunch-like conversations.

Re: Apple cancels AirPower wireless charging mat, citing quality issues

2019-03-30 Thread Yuma Decaux
I got the AirPods 2 a few days ago, and to be honest it doesn't affect me 
negatively not to have the wireless charger. if anything, I move around a lot, 
so both classic and wireless methods of charging require a cable of some sort. 
having a cable that works also as my iphone charger makes it simpler, less 
clutter etc.


The airpod2 are quite faster in connecting and the sound is much better both 
volume and quality, so I'm quite happy with this purchase :)

I assume there will be some people  up in arms over it since that's what 
some people do, but it's just a product from Apple. Apple still supports 
wireless charging on their latest iPhones. IMHO, the fact that Apple 
doesn't offer their own wireless charging pad isn't that big a deal.

RE: odd vibration happening

2019-03-30 Thread Bill Outman
The other thing to check is to make sure your phone is not in fact muted, since 
you described the problem as if it is acting like a call coming in when the 
phone is muted.  

 

The mute switch could easily get bumped if you don’t have the phone in a case, 
or if the case you have leaves it exposed.  The case on my 8 Plus has a door I 
have to open to access the mute switch.  I frequently bumped the mute switch 

On the 5S I used to have, even with a case.

on for a minute or so and I can’t figure out what it means.  I close out all 
apps but the vibrations continue.  They’re almost like the vibrations when I 
get a call and the phone is muted, but I don’t see a missed call.  Any 
thoughts?  I’ve seen this 3 times in the last week or so. Thanks in advance.

God bless!

RE: Apple Pay

What about if the payee does not have an apple product, can the payment still 
be paid to them?

Thanks!

No, if you’re talking about using a credit card with Apple Pay, you certainly 
can. I don’t even have a debit card in my Apple Pay wallet, but I do have two 
credit cards. And they both work so far as I know. I make fairly regular

Hi Everyone,
I just finally updated my xr phone to 12.2, and I received an odd message when 
the phone came back on.  I have copied and pasted the odd message below.  If 
anyone has received this message after updating to any updates, please let me 
know how you corrected this issue.
Thank you all for any suggestions.

Janet

Message
if you see one of the cellular update failed or apple pay not available alert 
after a update or a restart, one of these alerts iOS detected an issue that 
requires a repair what Janet seen; cellular update failed if you see this alert 
it might mean there is an issue on cellular modem of your iPhone and this means 
you can't receive or make calls or send text messages or access cellular data.  
Janet did use another phone to call herself on the Xr phone, and the call did 
come through though.
apple pay requires an update, if you see your iPhone can't use apple pay until 
it has been updated, you will need to update.  If you restore or erase your 
phone you might not be able to activate your device if you see these alerts, 
you will need to take your device to an apple store.
Janet did check Apple pay through settings, and the message from that says; 
I've reached the maximum of 12 cards, and I will need to remove at least one 
card before I can add another one.  Janet says I had only one card added to 
Apple pay though.

submit button.
You will receive an Email with the link to pay via PayPal or Credit Card.  The 
stand will be sent via Free Matter for the Blind and will cost $12.00.
The link to his web site is:

This has the link to the order form and to the instructions sheet which will 
also be in the package.
If you want to go directly to the order form, here is that link:

Digital Signature

Hello,

 

I have recently started working for a company in which I need to submit
monthly reports that I will have to sign. Does anyone no if there is an iOS
app that is accessible for signing my reports? I know that DocuSign is out

Subject: After Updating To iOS 12.2 Question Please.

Hi Everyone,
I just finally updated my xr phone to 12.2, and I received an odd message
when the phone came back on.  I have copied and pasted the odd message
below.  If anyone has received this message after updating to any updates,
please let me know how you corrected this issue.
Thank you all for any suggestions.

Janet

Message
if you see one of the cellular update failed or apple pay not available
alert after a update or a restart, one of these alerts iOS detected an issue
that requires a repair what Janet seen; cellular update failed if you see
this alert it might mean there is an issue on cellular modem of your iPhone
and this means you can't receive or make calls or send text messages or
access cellular data.  Janet did use another phone to call herself on the Xr
phone, and the call did come through though.
apple pay requires an update, if you see your iPhone can't use apple pay
until it has been updated, you will need to update.  If you restore or erase
your phone you might not be able to activate your device if you see these
alerts, you will need to take your device to an apple store.
Janet did check Apple pay through settings, and the message from that says;
I've reached the maximum of 12 cards, and I will need to remove at least one
card before I can add another one.  Janet says I had only one card added to
Apple pay though.
Published date Dec 2018.

odd vibration happening

2019-03-30 Thread Paul and Paula Jordan
Hi all.  I’m hoping I can describe this in a way that makes sense.
Occasionally my phone starts to vibrate in short vibration bursts.  This may
go on for a minute or so and I can’t figure out what it means.  I close out
all apps but the vibrations continue.  They’re almost like the vibrations
when I get a call and the phone is muted, but I don’t see a missed call.
Any thoughts?  I’ve seen this 3 times in the last week or so. Thanks in
advance.

God bless!

RE: Download iOS 12.2 Today and Try Out These New Features, LifeHacker.com

2019-03-30 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Each has its advantages, you may not be able to lock the record button in the 
Messages app, but I like the fact that I can record an audio message and listen 
to it before I send it if I feel so inclined. In WhatsApp the message gets sent 
as soon as you let go of the button or tap Send if you have it locked.
Also a nice feature in iMessage is the raise to speak feature. I think you have 
to first send a message before this starts working, but then if you get a reply 
and you want  to in turn reply with another voice message you can just raise 
your phone to your ear and it starts recording and in this case it is hands 
free, speak your message with the phone against your ear and then simply take 
it away to send it.

Sieghard

> that "5G E" is just AT's bullshit way to say "faster LTE," since your

> Higher-quality audio Messages
> This is a simple one, but Apple has boosted the quality of the audio
> messages you leave in Messages by adopting a different codec (Opus) at 24000
> Hz instead of the previous AMR Narrowband codec at 8000 Hz. Neat.

> More specific screen "Downtime"
> You can now customize which days and times you want to schedule "Downtime"
> via iOS' Screen Time feature. As a reminder, if your phone is in "Downtime"
> mode, you'll only be able to use certain apps (you choose) and your device's
> Phone app. That's it. Sorry, Facebook.

> Group Facetime is back!
> Yes, that horrible Group Facetime bug that allowed others to eavesdrop on
> what you were doing is gone, and the feature is back for all to use. Enjoy
> your Brady Bunch-like conversations.

> Promotions for subscription apps
> Apple is now allowing app developers to offer promotional pricing for
> subscriptions, so you'll want to be a bit more judicious about when you sign
> up for that which you want
