Re: how do I unsub from this list

Joshua! I am not tethered to my iPhone as many others seem to be, and, only use it for playing one or two games and reading audio books that I download from the library, but I do empathise with you re your frustrations. Regarding the repeated request/demands that we enter our Apple password wh

Re: Gesture to stop song preview in itunes store?

Usually another one finger double tap will stop the preview unless you have touched somewhere else on the screen. The preview button turns into a stop preview. I have also used the two finger double tap successfully, but it has been a while. You can also bring up the app switcher and close the a

Joshua: You can set your phone so that you don't have to enter the passcode to unlock your phone. Go into settings and swipe right until you find 'touch ID and passcode'. From there you can turn off your passcode. Also, there are some small blue tooth keyboards that work well with the iPh

Re: a funny, yet frightening, issue with my phone

Hi Robin: The same thing happened to me with my blue tooth hearing aids. I had taken them off that night and had not fully disconnected the battery connection. Consequently, all the sound from my phone was going to the hearing aids. I was in panic mode until I realized what was happening. --

Re: how do I unsub from this list

Hi, as a technology teacher, I have to say give the iphone experience a few weeks to a month. Check out the basics podcasts on Applevis, or maybe someone can be a mentor for you. It takes a few weeks to get in the mindset of the iphone. If you're a braille writer, then eventually you will enjoy

Gesture to stop song preview in itunes store?

I rarely buy music in the itunes app, but today I was looking for a song from a movie I was watching. I was easily able to preview the song, but could not figure out how to stop the preview. I do not use audio ducking, so I could not hear if VoiceOver was even alerting me to buttons. Two finge

Hi to all. How do I unsubscribe from this list. I never should have gotten an iPhone in the first place. I don't want to take the time to learn how to type on the stupid keyboard on the screen. I hate the idea of having to type in my apple ID when I want to download an app. Stupid security. My

ApplePay With Multiple Cards Revisited?

Hi, list. My ApplePay has two cards attached to it. This morning I used ApplePay for the first time. I wasn't sure whether I should open my phone to any apps or the cardreader would take care of the locked-screen. I hesitantly opened wallet with voiceover on,, highlighted the card I wanted to use

Hello, I have been a miniimalist VoiceOver user for several years now, but now I am getting more adventurous. Actually as part of my job I am needing to use apps like Safari (pretty basic I know). However, I have noticed that I am struggling to get consistent results from VoiceOver. For example

Re: Is anyone using an app called Righter?

Is that the dating app? an iPod 6th generation should work just fine. It says it requires only iOS 11. It even says it work on the iPod; and when the app came out, I'm sure the iPod Touch 6th generation was the latest iPod available. So, my guess, as judgmental as it may be, he doesn't want to be
