Re: Old Apple ID Showing Up in App Store

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi,

I eventually had to just give up the apps I had bought with my old apple ID. 
When I changed IDs and e-mail addresses, there was no way to verify my old 
apple ID.  I also couldn't remember my security answers.  I was pretty sure 
I had the password right, but since I had given up the old e-mail address, 
there was no way to get the confirmation e-mail.


I figure I gave up $50 at least in apps I'd bought.

If you solve this problem, I'd be interested in knowing how.

Thanks,
Lois

When you said you "changed" your Apple Id, does this mean you registered a 
new one or did you log in with the old one and change the email address to 
be a different email address?

It sounds like those apps were gotten with the old Apple ID.
If Apple didn't move everything to the new account, I'd called Apple 
Accessibility and see if they can't sort that out.

That sounds very much like an Apple caused problem.

I hope it works out.

Subject: Old Apple ID Showing Up in App Store

I changed my Apple ID and password at least a year ago in all the 
sections, including iTunes and App stores, and this is confirmed in 
Settings.  I just attempted to update several apps in the App Store, but 
it showed the old Apple ID and wanted the old password, which I cannot now 
seem to enter correctly.  First, I don't understand why the old Apple ID 
is coming up now, when the change to the new Apple ID is clearly indicated 
in the Settings.  Second, is there any solution to this problem?

Re: Inaccessible hamburger

[Lois Butterfield]

I can't remember the first time I first heard that term to describe the menu 
icon in an app.  It was years ago though.  I figured out that it was the 
menu icon and figured it must look like a hamburger.  If it doesn't look 
like one, it's kind of a mystery as to why the icon is called that.  I have 
never asked a sighted person what it looks like.

Re: Airpod question.

[Lois Butterfield]

I have some on order.  I was worried about if they would stay in my ears or 
not, and have decided that without a wire to get caught on something, I 
should be okay.


I just listened to the pod cast.  You can play or pause by double tapping 
the airpod if you set it up that way.  As far as volume control, you can use 
the player controls on your apple watch with the digital crown.  Otherwise, 
yes, the phone controls are the only other way or Siri.


I think I will set mine up so that taking one out of my ear will pause and 
replacing will play.  The complete lack of wires is what finally sold me on 
them.  No joy until the end of April though.


Thank you to whomever shared the link to that podcast.

Lois

Hi Carol,

The Airpods are impressive, sound great and I'd love to have a pair. 
However, at this point two things keep me from spending this much money 
for them: first, there is no way to Play/Pause, Forward/Rewind or change 
the volume on the Airpods except for bringing up SIRI and tell SIRI what 
you want to do. Of course this would not be an option on a flight or if 
you are, for some reason in Airplane mode or have no WiFi or data 
connection. Second, I have also an Apple Watch and all reports I have 
heard say the Airpods don't switch well between iPhone and Apple Watch. 
For such an advanced and expensive device and one that has been designed 
by Apple this to me should be a given. If I listen to something on my 
phone and I wake up my watch or a notification comes in on the watch then 
the Airpods should switch instantly to the watch pausing whatever I am 
listening to and, once the watch is done they should switch back and 
resume playing my music or book or whatever. My Plantronics Voyager Edge 
does this with a fraction of a second delay and I would expect that from 
a device designed by Apple and for Apple devices. A third and myabe 
slightly less important feature I would like to see is a small loop 
moldet into the plastic on the part that sticks down and comes to a point 
(it could even be at the end of that part) where you could attach a thin, 
but strong line or cable to join both Airpods together which would make 
it much less easy to loose them and it would be much easier to take them 
out of your ear and have them hanging around your neck.
I totally expect that Apple will release a second generation of the 
Airpods this fall along with their new iPhones and I will definitely wait 
as it is only another 6 months until that happens to see what they 
improve.

In the world of standalone color identifiers, yes the Colorino is very 
good.  Also the Rainbow 2 by Emerson Electronics is also very good for 
basic colors and costs about $50 less than the Colorino.


However, if you want to know if your shirt has a pattern, you will need 
either sighted assistance or use an app like iDentifi or TapTapSee.


They will usually also tell you that it is blue, white, red, green flowers 
or whatever.
Granted, the color accuracy with the iPhone camera is not as good as the 
stand alone devices, but it can get you roughly in the ball park.


If you truly want accurate color identification you will have to have a 
sighted person assist you in labelling the clothes in some form.
Digit-Eyes makes great labels that can be sown into a garment and you can 
record as detailed a description as you like, but that is fairly time 
intensive.


This is all up to each person's level of detail they wish to know.

I have to admit, while I test all these things for clients, I cheat and 
just have my sighted wife tell me what something is and whether they go 
together.  What can I say, I'm lazy, grin.


If I was on my own again, I would go the Digit-Eyes label route or cut my 
wardrobe back to what it was in my single days where everything matched so 
it didn't matter.  I figure since my wife wanted me to dress in more 
colors, it is her job to keep things straight, ha, ha.

The best option is still a good old stand-alone colour identifier like the 
Colorino, it does I think 150 colours, but it speaks them as 
understandable colours and not like whatever weird names they come up with 
like the one you mentioned. The Colorino will say maybe "Intensive Red" or 
something like that, but pretty clear what it means and much more reliable 
than anything you can get for the iPhone. They do also seem to last since 
I had mine for probably 15 years and all I ever do is to replace the

Re: color identifier app

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Sandy,

Yes, it will.  I use it on my washer dial to tell me which light is lit.  I 
just wish it came to more of a point.  The end of it is about an inch and a 
half by a half inch, and the lens is in the middle, indented.


I absolutely love it for identifying colors and have had it for years.

Take care,
Lois

Richard,
Will the colourino or the rainbow tell you the colour and/or the flashing 
status of LEDs?

Thanks, Sandy

In the world of standalone color identifiers, yes the Colorino is very 
good.  Also the Rainbow 2 by Emerson Electronics is also very good for 
basic colors and costs about $50 less than the Colorino.


However, if you want to know if your shirt has a pattern, you will need 
either sighted assistance or use an app like iDentifi or TapTapSee.


They will usually also tell you that it is blue, white, red, green flowers 
or whatever.
Granted, the color accuracy with the iPhone camera is not as good as the 
stand alone devices, but it can get you roughly in the ball park.


If you truly want accurate color identification you will have to have a 
sighted person assist you in labelling the clothes in some form.
Digit-Eyes makes great labels that can be sown into a garment and you can 
record as detailed a description as you like, but that is fairly time 
intensive.


This is all up to each person's level of detail they wish to know.

I have to admit, while I test all these things for clients, I cheat and 
just have my sighted wife tell me what something is and whether they go 
together.  What can I say, I'm lazy, grin.


If I was on my own again, I would go the Digit-Eyes label route or cut my 
wardrobe back to what it was in my single days where everything matched so 
it didn't matter.  I figure since my wife wanted me to dress in more 
colors, it is her job to keep things straight, ha, ha.


Later,
Richard

The best option is still a good old stand-alone colour identifier like the 
Colorino, it does I think 150 colours, but it speaks them as 
understandable colours and not like whatever weird names they come up with 
like the one you mentioned. The Colorino will say maybe "Intensive Red" or 
something like that, but pretty clear what it means and much more reliable 
than anything you can get for the iPhone. They do also seem to last since 
I had mine for probably 15 years and all I ever do is to replace the 
batteries maybe once a year.

also iDentifi does a good job. but you need to know that none of them are 
going to be anywhere near what a sighted person sees, especially with 
patterns or different shades.
But either app, TapTapSee or iDentifi will be close, depending on lighting 
of course.

Re: interested in getting a fit bit

[Lois Butterfield]

I have a FitBit One.  This is probably the smallest FitBit tracker.  It 
keeps track of flights climbed, steps, sleep, and has the alarms function.


I use the alarm daily.  It isn't waterproof, so you can't wear it in the 
shower or swimming, but I have it clipped to my clothing the rest of the 
time.


I don't always have my phone in a pocket or clipped to me, so it doesn't 
make a good step counter.


I used to have the Flex, which I wore on my wrist or ankle, but I like the 
One much better because I can clip it anywhere.


Take care,
Lois

Hi Harry,

I’m told it is a busy and active list.  I went to the page and saw that my

I’ll keep researching and will let you know if I solve the mystery.

I remember several of you mentioned that the Neato app wasn’t very accessible, 
and that when contacted, Neato support wasn’t really promising to look into it

Below is an article from Kim Komando mentioning 6 unknown Amazon Alexa features 
you may not know about, and one of them was the ability to start the Neato vac 
cleaning your house, when you had the app installed on your phone.  I’d suggest 
that those interested in this, add a comment to the article mentioning that the 
Neato app isn’t accessible to the visually impaired, and when contacted the 
company didn’t seem all that interested in solving this problem.  I believe 
it’s this type of publicity which causes change to happen.

I did add such a comment myself.

 

Hth,

Re: AirPods - first impressions

Hi Robin,

How do these fit?  The EarPods didn’t stay in my ears.  Are the AirPods shaped 
at all differently?  Are they hard or padded?

Thank you.

Subject: AirPods - first impressions

Dear listers

I got my AirPods today and have been playing with them for a couple of hours 
now. The first thing to say is that there is some delay or lag which is 
borderline acceptable. It’s just a fraction of a second but you can definitely 
notice it. I think I’ll get used to it but may have to stick to wired earbuds 
for my Mac as that’s what I’m on for 90% of the day.

Also I was hoping that there would be some sort of magic whereby whichever 
device was active (i.e. being used) the AirPods would automagically switch to 
but this doesn’t seem to be the case unless I’m missing something. I’m running 
iOS 10 and Sierra latest versions on both and the pairing with both was magic – 
but no automatic swapping between both. For whichever device I use I need to 
manually switch the source away from one and to the other.

Apart from that I’m loving them and feeling very futuristic.

Thanks, Robin

Re: about iWatch

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi,

For one thing, you could use an app like Run Keeper, which uses GPS.  Lots of 
fitness apps could be used without having your phone nearby.  That might be the 
main benefit.

Take care,

Subject: about iWatch

I just talked to apple sales department. I asked them, if the apple watch  
series 2 has gps antenna, so I don’t need my phone around to know where am I?

They said, yes, you don’t need to have your iPhone around to use the gps 
capabilities.

I asked them, ok, if I don’t need my iPhone around to use the gps capabilities, 
I will be able to use maps and for example get the way  to somewhere just 
typing an address?

They said, no, to be able to do that you need to get your phone.

I said, so I don’t understand. What is the reason of that gps antenna then?

You said that I don’t need my iPhone to use the gps capabilities, but you are 
saying now that if I want to go to a store, I need my phone to tell to maps the 
address and start the way ?

So for what reason I want a iWathch with gps antenna?

They couldn’t answer my question.

So really, and I want to think that this lady wasn’t very aware about the apple 
watch . What are the usability of a gps antenna in a apple watch ?

Thanks guys,

Re: How can I change my apple ID without loosing my purchased items?

[Lois Butterfield]

Yes, this is very important.  I have changed my ID quite a while back.  I 
forgot my password and then couldn’t remember how I answered the questions.  I 
haven’t been able to update about 15 apps that I bought under that ID.  Until I 
answer the questions the right way, I’ll never get back into that ID.

Hi Cris

If you set up another iTunes account with a new email address you need to make 
sure that you save all iTunes login & password information without this 
information you will not be able to update any of the apps that you have paid 
for. And if you would ever need to delete an app that you have paid for you 
will need the old iTunes login & password so you can redownload the app without 
having to pay for them again. 


To give an instance, several updates back I had to delete my Bookshare app 
because for some strange reason when I updated the app I lost all of the voices 
I had purchased disappeared. So to avoid having to purchase the voices again I 
had to login to my old iTunes & redownload the voices from my old iTunes 
account. 


Donna I had  changed my Apple ID with no problems.

  Is there a way of changing apple id without causing such a mess?

I have some on order because I get ear infections from having ear buds in

They are indeed earplugs. The instructions do state that you may experience 
better sound with your ears plugged in a safe environment. Mainly though, 
they include them so people can have proof that they are hearing through 
their bones and not their ears.


The buttons may vary from different models but I can tell you what they do 
on the Trekz Titaniums. The triangular button on the left will do several 
things. It can be held in and will say voice dial but on iOS, it will 
activate Siri. The two buttons on the right set the volume up or down but 
only when sound is playing. Otherwise, they announce the battery level. The 
volume up button nearest the right earphone will also act as a power button. 
Hold it in for a long press to turn on or off the headset. There's a way to 
reset the headphones also but I can't remember it. Hope that helps. Enjoy 
the headset. It's not the best for recording or for high quality listening 
but they're great for when you're out and about needing your ears free and 
not caring so much for sound quality.

So we just got ours today and were playing with them. Are these ear plugs

Subject: Inaccessible Apple survey, sometimes I really wonder what the heck 
they are thinking or if they indeed are thinking

Hello Listers and Apple Accessibility team (or maybe I should say Apple 
Inaccessibility Team),,

 

I recently purchased an Apple Watch and already pointed out that the usually 
very accessible Apple Store app did not allow me to order the watch. No matter 
what I tried, the app wanted to send the watch to the nearest Apple Store 
which, as I am in Calgary right now, was the Apple Store at Market Mall. No 
matter what I did I could not figure out how to make it send it to my home 
address. Eventually I ordered it online using my Windows laptop which was 
relatively straight forward and painless. Apart from the fact that during the 
order process I was told that it would ship in 3 to 4 weeks where in reality it 
shipped from China the next day everything was fine.

A couple of days later I received an email asking for my feedback regarding the 
ordering process. I thought this would be a good chance for me to give really 
low scores and, if a comment field existed, to describe how I could not order 
the watch using the Apple Store app because of the reason described above. I 
clicked on the link for the survey, the first screen was just some information 
and I activated the “Next” link.

On the following page were 3 questions regarding how satisfied I was with the 
ordering process, whether I would order again from the apple online store and 
whether I would recommend the Apple online store to a friend. Each answer had 
the usual “strongly disagree”, to “strongly agree” or whatever the exact 
wording was. Jaws also read numbers from 1 to 5, but there were no checkboxes 
or radio buttons. At first I thought that this probably is fine, I just click 
on the number I want and while it didn’t read it as a radio button, checkbox or 
link I thought it would work. I did so for all three questions and clicked 
next. Nothing happened and when I checked back I saw something to the effect of 
“You must have forgotten to complete one of the questions, please review your 
response”. No matter what I did I could apparently not rank my responses and 
continue to the next step. I tried this with Jaws using Internet Explorer, Jaws 
using Firefox and also with Safari and Voiceover on my iPhone, all with the 
same result.

In order to save me the time to type this again I am CC’ing Apple Accessibility 
on this since I think it is just a joke and complete craziness that Apple 
apparently is not capable of creating a survey which is fully accessible. There 
is nothing simpler than to create an accessible survey and for a company which 
basically invented the concept of main stream accessibility to not make sure 
their surveys can be completed by visually impaired users is beyond my 
comprehension. I’d love to hear how Tim Cook would reply to this if I could 
tell him about this directly. In the meantime I guess I’ll probably just ask a 
sighted person to help me complete this survey and I will give the lowest 
ranking possible on each question and hope there is a comment field where I can 
express my feelings about such a stupid oversight.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Re: IOS 10 update Samantha sounds fuzzy

You should check to see if you have the compact or enhanced Samantha.  To me,

Re: Advice for those with the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi all,

I get my Apple watch wet from time to time, and I do notice that the speaker 
is affected.  It takes some time for it to dry and work properly afterword.


Way back when it first came out, I read some reviews by people who wore 
their watch swimming, who said that it worked perfectly afterward.  I'm sure 
they didn't try the speaker, or they'd have noticed the muffled sound.


I'm not saying that this would have been the case with your phone.  I'm just 
sharing my own experience.


Take care,
Lois

Subject: Advice for those with the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus

Greetings. I know it is a generic subject, but this is a cautionary
tale for those that have the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus phones. If you
have any hesitation of your phone not working as expected, don't wait
a long time or think that the problem will go away or will fix itself,
before you take your device back to an Apple Store. In my own case, I
accidentally dropped my new 7 in a bathtub with about 4 inches of
water. I pulled the phone out, dried it off, but noticed that the
speaker did not seem as loud. I took my phone to the Apple Store and
had a technician look at it. He did several tests with the speaker and
the microphone, and he did find that a mike was not working as
expected. Then, no questions asked, he swapped my ten day old phone
out with a brand new one of the same color and gig size as my last
one. I took the new one home and was able to restore from my latest
ICloud backup, which happened to be that afternoon. I've heard on the
Macbreak Weekly podcast that the Apple Stores have a certain number of
phones available to swap out in these cases, and they will do the
swapping no questions asked if they can verify the problem. The deal
is you have to take your phone inwithin the first two weeks or so
after you get it. IN my case, the phone was advertised as being water
resistant, and a mike evidently had some water damage after the
phone's swim in the tub. However, if you hear hissing or other strange
noises from your new phone, then it is worth taking a trip to the
Apple Store.

Kind regards,
Wayne

It is the same on the old watch.  I don't see how or why it should be any

I was just in Vancouver and stopped by an Apple Store to check out the Apple 
Watch Series 2. The time feedback after a double or triple tap is very 
prompt, I would say maybe a second or less. It's not instant as in where it 
starts vibrating after the second or third tap, but very responsive. I was 
very impressed with the new Apple Watch and have a feeling that I am going 
to get one in the next couple of months. I am a bit undecided between the 
Sport or Stainless version. I like the weight of the Sport since I did find 
the stainless version felt quite heavy, but don't like the fact it doesn't 
have Sapphire glass. Of course here in Canada there is also a $210 price 
difference between the starting price of the Sport which starts at $489 for 
the 38mm model and the stainless which starts at $699 for the same size, I 
would definitely want the 42mm which in stainless starts here at $779 and 
then of course I like the higher-end bands, but I think you can now find 
many of them from third parties for much less than what Apple charges.

Hello all,
The best new feature in Watch OS 3.0 is the "Vibration time".
This is not the official name.
With Voice Over on and the screen locked, tap twice on the watch.
It buz like a morse signal.
Teh code is very simple:
long vibrations stand for 10 unit; short vibrations stand for 1
unit.
Examples:
12.05 (1 logng, 2 shorts, pause, 5 shorts)
23.59 (2 longs, 3 shorts, pause 5 longs, 9 shorts)

For me it's a very beatiful mode, useful when it is not so  polite to 
speech the time.

Hi Jennifer,

If you go to the notification center, you can see the widgets that are 
available to add.  Depending on the apps you have, there may be several.

Take care,

Re: The Update!!!

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Regina,

There have been times that I have had to manually turn my phone back on 
after an update.  This time, I had no problem though.  You might want to 
just try powering your phone back on.


Good luck,

broken what is bricked? Now I don't know what to do I have a 6S and I will

just leave the phone hooked to charge? Is Apple working on this? Or am I

Re: NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE!

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Carol,

I haven't ever used Braille input so I don't know if there is a backspace on 
the keyboard.  If there is, you might try that to erase what you have 
written.


I suggest this because I had put in some stuff on my Apex that I couldn't 
erase on my phone.  I believe I had to delete it on the Apex itself before 
it would go away.


It's been a long time, so I may not be remembering correctly.  After what 
you have said, I'm not sure I want to have anything to do with the Braille 
keyboard.


Thanks,
Lois

No, I don't have a clipboard app on the iPhone.


I think it will have to be a full reset of the system.


On that one, does anyone know for sure whether, when Version 10 gets
installed, all software is renewed, or will there be parts of that email
app remaining, because (obviously) your mail gets put back?


I may have to wait and try and see ... and go from there!


There's absolutely no way I can find to get rid of the garbage!

Re: need iPhone app works well with scale

Hi Christopher,

I am very happy with my Aria.  I have had no problems setting it up or

Yes, it does not sync with the Health app, but to me after listening to

the Withing app.

Jonathan didn't consider it since he wanted it to sync with his Apple

into the FitBit ecosystem. I find the FitBit app accessible, so I'm

see if anyone had any knowledge one way or the other.

  Try putting “Pizza Hut” in the last name field as fwelland all should be as 
you expect.

  I run into a situation often where I ask, for example, “Call BC Liquor Store” 
or “Call Sears”. These are just examples of businesses which exist in many 
towns/cities. I live in a small town in northern British Columbia and the next 
towns are about an hour away and the next larger cities are 2 and 4 hours away, 
respectively. So, I ask to call the business name and SIRI tells me it, for 
example, found “BC Liquor Store” in Houston, Terrace, Prince Rupert etc. all of 
these are from 40 to 250 miles away and it will finally come to the liquor 
store that is half a mile from my house after listing 6 or 8 others first which 
are all over the place. If the store is only in my town it has no problems 
finding it and it’s yet another example of how poorly SIRI performs in certain 
situations where it should work flawlessly. 

  One thing I just discovered and this must be new (I am running iOS 10 Beta) 
is that I can finally ask “What is the battery level” and SIRI will actually 
answer and give me the battery percentage. Maybe some who use iOS 9 can try 
this and see if it is simply a SIRI upgrade that works in all iOS versions or 
if it is new in iOS 10.

Lois, what happens if you add the item to your cart first, then view your 
cart, then hit the proceed to checkout button, then double tap on your name 
as you are reviewing the order, then tap on another shipping address and 
then double tap to select that new address? Are you then still able to find 
the ship to this address button? I'm now using iOS 9.3.4 and still can't 
find that button in this specific situation. Now, this of course, assumes 
that you have other addresses besides yours saved in your addressbook from 
having shipped to them in the past.

That is the way it works for me.

cart subtotal
Then it lists the total.  I continue swiping right and it says
proceed to checkout.
So i click on that, and can't get any further.

Hi Candie,



I finally decided to order an Anker batterie this morning and to test
this all the way to the end where before I only went as far as the final
button. At first when I came to the address screen, I selected the
address of a friend in Vancouver to whom I shipped something before
because I happened to be there and it was faster to get it there. I
double tapped on the line that showed his name/address and Voiceover
spoke it and said “checked”, then after I did that I had a “Ship to this
address” button as well as an “Edit” button right underneath, I double
tapped it and it immediately went on to the next step where I could
choose from Free Shipping or Standard Shipping.

At that point I tapped the “Back” button since I didn’t want to ship
this to him, I double tapped on the line that showed my name and address
and it again said “checked”, then I had the “Ship to this address”
button on the next swipe right, I double tapped it and I got a message
that the item could not be shipped to the address. I had both a street
address and PO Box address in Line 1 and Line 2 respectively and I
assumed that maybe this was going to be shipped by courier and then of
course they can’t ship to PO Boxes. I tapped OK to get rid of the
message, then I was able to tap Edit and I removed the PO Box address
from Line 2 of the address, then I tapped again n “Ship to this address”
and now it went on to the next step. I was then actually asked for my
billing address and to verify my credit card which it was explained was
done when you enter a new address or edit an existing address. I did all
that and was able to place my order without any problems.



I don’t want to say you guys are doing something wrong, but since most
of the people who replied here said that it worked fine for them there
is always a chance that you are missing something (no offense).

Hi.



I also tried to place an order on my 6 Plus using the latest version of
the Amazon app and iOS 9.3.3. I wanted to change the shipping address to
send a birthday present to my daughter. I also could not get beyond that
screen, so I used Safari on my MBA to complete the order process. I
tried the three-finger swipes to change pages and tapped anywhere I
could think of to try to make it work. It simply would not.

these two Apple people to whom you spoke seem to be the only ones

replies from at least a dozen people including myself who apparently

that Apple accessibility could/would confirm such a bug with a 
third-party app.

This is to say, in order to confirm such a problem, the Apple rep would 
have to (1) download the app, (2) login to an Amazon account, (3) locate a 
product, (4) have/create payment methods, billing address, shipping addresses 
etc, (5) and attempt to place an order.  While this is certainly possible, I 
don't recall any Apple rep being so involved, especially where a third party 
app is concerned.  I suppose it is possible that you gave the rep your login 
credentials but, again, I cannot imagine an Apple rep accepting them if for no 
other than security concerns for your privacy.

Having said all this, the problem still remains that you cannot complete an 
Amazon order.

Have you changed the default display configuration on your device?  This is 
to say, it is possible, that such modifications, assuming they are extreme 
enough, could corrupt the apps display aspect ratio and, consequently, prevent 
VoiceOver from properly focusing on available buttons.

I suggest that you explore all of the device's display settings and make 
certain that everything is set to the default parameters--especially the screen 
size and font size.

Also, if you have a plus size device, make certain that the Reach ability 
feature is disabled.

One more thing, assuming that the display settings have not been modified, 
the next troubleshooting step I would take would be to find a sighted person, 
disable VoiceOver, and see if the sighted person can move forward with the 
purchasing process.

Good Luck,

Mark

Hey guys,
Well, this is most certainly a problem, i confirmed it through apple

Even after updating my IOS, deleting the app and re-installing it, you can 
no longer get past the address.  Basicly, the button that says select this 
address button, you an no longer double tap on it, it does nothing.

Re: Scales and app to track weight

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Jonathan,

I looked at your blog post about the scales.

I have been very happy with my FitBit Aria scale for years.  I was able to set 
it up myself via the FitBit app, which is quite accessible.

I have the app because I have been using their step counters also for years 
because my Apple watch doesn’t count steps at all when holding onto the 
treadmill rail.  I walk and run a lot and want credit for those steps as well. 

If you don’t use a treadmill at all, this probably won’t make a difference, but 
it is amazing to look at the health app and see how few steps I get credit for.

I step on the scale and count to five.  That’s all the time it takes to get my 
weight and body fat calculated.

This is just some things one might want to consider when choosing which scale 
and which app to use.

I’m glad to know how the WiThing works.  I hope it becomes more accessible in 
the near future.

Take care,
Lois

Re: Otterbox symmetry case for IPhone 6 s+?

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi,

I used one of these for a while.  The back is hard plastic.  It isn't 
smooth, but it does slide around because it is hard, and there is no rubber 
there.  I bought a silicone pocket to stick to the back to keep it from 
sliding.


Other than that, I liked the case.  It wasn't thick and bulky like some of 
their cases and still protected nicely.  There is a nice lip around the 
screen to protect, but the screen is not covered.


Hope this helps.

Take care,
Lois

Subject: Otterbox symmetry case for IPhone 6 s+?

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience with this case? I am thinking of
purchasing it, but wonder about the texture of the case i.e. does it
have a matte finish? or is the back of the case slippery and smoothe?

Thanks in advance if you have any feedback,

Shermeen

Re: silencing VoiceOver announcement of song name on Apple TV when airplaying from iPhone

I would think that turning speech off with a 3-finger double tap on the

The only way I do it is to turn off Voice Over using the Apple TV remote.
Either tripple click the menu key or tel Siri to turn off voice over.Muting
alerts will just mute notification alerts and things like that.  Good luck.

Subject: silencing VoiceOver announcement of song name on Apple TV when
airplaying from iPhone

Hello,
When airplaying music from my iPhone to the Apple TV fourth generation using
the Acuradio app, I am noticing that VoiceOver on the Apple TV is announcing
the song name. This comes in loud through my speakers as the song begins to
play. Other than disabling VoiceOver while airplaying music, is there a
means of muting these notifications? I attempted to cycle through the rotor
and I noticed an option that states mute alerts which I believe I enabled,
but VoiceOver still seems to announce the song names.
Thank you in advance for any responses

  I spoke with them about this and offered to beta test when they get around to 
working on accessibility.

  They took my info but never conteacted me.

  Which one did you get and how do you use it?

Hi Gordon and all who have been talking/asking about these useful toys,

Gordon, when you say that the battery powered hoovers are not as 
powerful as the corded ones, you are, of course right, but there is a caveat: 
because you have the pleasure of not having to actually do the hoovering 
yourself, you tend to do it more often and, in this way, the overall effect is 
superior!!! I have a house with tiled, wooden, and carpeted floors. The Roombas 
that I have had since about 2003, have all done sterling work! We have always 
had dogs, even so, my floors have been the envy of my friends! Don't I sound 
sad? Seriously, I have left the house with a friend, off to enjoy ourselves 
about town, and she has said to me "What is that sound? Have you left something 
on?" 'Tis my little friend, the robot vacuum cleaner, he is doing the floors 
while I am out." I cannot describe the astonished jealousy! For, not only the 
blind find hoovering a bit of a chore, most people do too, especially living 
here, in rural Ireland, where every muddy boot/paw bears testimony to the great 
outdoors! 

I can only say that if your only arguement against these robots is that 
of power and therefor efficiency, my house disproves it! 

As for loudness, someone asked about: it is quieter on some  surfaces 
than others, but, in general, I would say it is much much less noisy than our 
Milfisk (if that is how you spell it) We do have ordinary vacs as well, but 
when the Roomba is working, they don't get used, except for stairs and ceiling 
corners. 

If you have children, who might be messy, leaving toys etc around the 
floor, I would think twice about purchasing one of these as these objects will 
slow up the efficiency of the robot, but this applies to using a normal vac 
anyway, especially, when one doesn't see them and sucks them up.

For anyone interested, and, keeping this on topic, there are, as far as 
I know, 2 main competitors for the "best" slot, both of which can work with 
apps. The Roomba 980 (very expensive) and the Neatorobot VacBot connected (a 
couple of hundred cheaper) I am going to investigate both while trying to 
resuscitate my old one!

Hi all,

I have a vacuuming robot, and I love it.  It keeps up with the fur from my dog

I’m guessing the app makes you able to set up the schedule and so forth.  That

   So, my question is: does anyone have experience of the app and running

an arm and a leg! I can only say that I have been seduced by the hype! I have 
long term experience of the Roombas and love them! This new one, not only has 
an app which should help with error analysis, but will allow me to start the 
thing off from anywhere and, it says, it will do the whole of one level of my 
house, going back to the charger for a refuel session and then continue where 
it left off. 

   Anyway, I am almost convinced, but, with such a large outlay, just need 
to know about the accessibility. 

   Can you help?

Hi Tracey,

A single tap is all it takes to wake the screen.  If I tap once to wake, then 
again, it will speak.  It used to say the time with just one tap.

Take care,

Hi, I just wanted to double-check.  This is watch OS 2.2.1? 

Are you guys single or double tapping?  I have always double tapped my watch to 
wake it.  ;)  Is that not usual?  Anyway, most of the time, it is still reading 
out the time, when I double tap it awake.

Re: Too Many Pages in Iphone5S?

You can also just start moving the apps from the last page to the previous 
pages, and the unneeded pages will go away.  It can be time consuming, but 
you won't have to start over with arranging all of them.

One of the settings/restore options is to clear down those screens, sort 
alphabetically, and reduce them to just enough to hold all
things.  Worth a look and takes no trouble really.  I think it might also 
undo any folders you made, though system ones like Extras

  Getting a tactile bedside clock to avoid having to engage my iPhone during

  I’ve looked around and haven’t really found anything very convincing. They’re

  Anyway, to make a long story short, I was contemplating getting a Fitbit flex 
since in its description, a silent vibrating alarm is specifically highlighted

  It’s been suggested to me to also consider getting an Apple Watch. I’m really 
not keen on getting an Apple Watch. Much less spending a couple hundred bucks 
even for a refurbished or used one for this one specific task. $80.00 is a more

  Does anyone have any experience with the Fitbit or any of its variations and 
associated iOS apps? Is the device by itself or in conjunction with the iOS app 
or even connected to a PC accessible? Specifically when accessing this silent

  Any input would be appreciated.

Re: Fitbit Flex accessibility

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Ed,

Since the Flex step count is movement based, there is always a possibility for 
a false count.  I don’t know that typing would count as steps, but if you wear 
it on your wrist and don’t swing that arm with every step, you won’t get an 
accurate count.  You might want to try a type that clips to your waist.  I have 
the One.  It can be clipped anywhere and will count steps accurately.  It also 
has the vibrating alarms.

I used to have a Flex, and like the One much better because of how it counts.  
I either have it clipped to a pocket or my waist.  You can clip it so that the 
One is inside your pocket so it doesn’t show.

These are just some things to consider before you buy.

Good luck,
Lois

product (Flex or whatever) connected.  There it will tell you the battery 
level.  I’m so glad it’s back.

Take care,

Hello list,



So I’ve been in search of some sort of vibrating alarm clock that can wake

me up in the morning to avoid disturbing my wife as I’m more the early bird

of the two whereas she is more the type who hates mornings with a white hot

intensity more powerful than  the sun...



Getting a tactile bedside clock to avoid having to engage my iPhone during

the night and possibly wake her up is easy enough, but the alarm thing, not

so much.



I’ve looked around and haven’t really found anything very convincing.

They’re either inaccessible with bad reviews or more geared towards the deaf

market which entails bed shaking mechanisms. Having lived through more than

my  fair share of earthquakes including being woken up from a few in the

middle of the night and currently living in earthquake country, this is an

absolutely unappealing option for me. That and I’m sure my wife would

probably strangle me in my sleep after the second or third time of it

scaring her awake.



Anyway, to make a long story short, I was contemplating getting a Fitbit

flex since in its description, a silent vibrating alarm is specifically

highlighted as one of its features.



It’s been suggested to me to also consider getting an Apple Watch. I’m

really not keen on getting an Apple Watch. Much less spending a couple

hundred bucks even for a refurbished or used one for this one specific task.

$80.00 is a more palatable option at least for this circumstance.



Does anyone have any experience with the Fitbit or any of its variations and

associated iOS apps? Is the device by itself or in conjunction with the iOS

app or even connected to a PC accessible? Specifically when accessing this

silent vibrating alarm feature?







Any input would be appreciated.







Thanks,



Cristobal

Subject: The final chapter, was: The story continues... Long lost iPhone 6S has 
finally resurfaced after snow melt

Hi everybody,

 

Finally, here is the long awaited last chatper of my lost iPhone story.

 

yesterday the package with my iPhone 6S packed in rice arrived. Externally it 
looks brand new with not a scratch on it. When I took out the SIM tray it 
seemed like there was maybe a bit of moisture there so I left out the SIM tray 
and stuck the iPhone in my toaster oven on a really low temperature for a 
couple of hours just to maybe expel a bit more moisture from inside.

 

After that the moment came and I plugged it in. My wife was there and we 
quietly watched, but the screen remained black. After about 2 minutes there was 
no change and I thought that answered the question as to whether the iPhone was 
still working after having been lying on the ground outside for 115 days, first 
in snow and temperatures of up to -40 Celsius/Fahrenheit and as warm as +20 
Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) and of course having gone through the process when the 
snow and ice around it melted and so on. It was also exposed to the sun, back 
in March there was another 10 inches of new snow over the course of a week and 
in the week or two before my brother found it on April 15 it had rained lightly 
a few times.

 

Anyhow, I left it plugged in and when I came back to my office 2 hours later I 
thought I check it out. I pressed the home button and bingo, Voiceover was 
there and asked me to enter my passcode. I did so and the phone unlocked. There 
was of course no service since I got a new SIM back in December when I lost it 
and I had also just installed a new router at my store so I had to reconnect to 
WiFi. As soon as I did so the phone started dinging and binging away as emails 
came in, push notification alerts sounded and on top of all that it started 
playing the lost sound since back on December 22 we logged in to my iCloud 
account and triggered the Find my iPhone sound in case I had just dropped it 
somewhere in the house.

 

At that point it had charged up to 82% and everything seemed totally normal. I 
went to Settings > General > Software Update and since I registered this phone 
on the public beta program, I was told iOS 9.3.2 public beta 2 was available 
for download. I started the download and it downloaded the 1.2 Gb file in about 
14 minutes, after that the upgrade proceeded normally and the phone was up and 
running again in about 12 minutes.

 

So, happy ending, right? Well, almost. Shortly after I finished the update one 
of my employees walked in to ask me something. I happily told her “Look, the 
iPhone that was lying in the snow for 4 months is working”. I held it up and 
swiped around and Voiceover was chattering. Then she said “OK, but what about 
the screen”. I asked “Why, what about the screen” and she said that it was 
totally and utterly black. At first I thought that was no problem, maybe the 
screen curtain was on. I did a 3-finger triple tap, but to my dismay Voiceover 
said “Screen curtain on” and not “off”. I did it again and Voiceover confirmed 
the screen curtain was now off. I checked the brightness and even increased it 
to 100%, but she said it just was showing a completely black screen.

 

So, I guess for the time it’s now truly an iPhone for the blind, it works 
perfectly, I made a Skype call on it to my Mom and both speaker and microphones 
seem to work just fine, but the screen seems to be not working. It will be 
interesting to see if in the next few days it comes back. Anyhow, it so happens 
that my wife and I have to go to Vancouver next week so I’ll take it an Apple 
Store and get it replaced since I have Apple Care Plus and it’s of course 
totally worth it to pay the $130 Canadian which is what an accidental damage 
replacement costs. Let’s hope the screen doesn’t start working by then *smile*

 

The end.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Re: weather app

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Lois,

There is an edit button at the bottom right if it's the same as the phone.
Double tap that.  When you touch the city you want to delete, do a 1-finger
swipe up.  You should hear delete.  Double tap, and it's gone.

I apologize if the IPod touch does not work the same.  I just thought it
might.

Take care,
Lois

Re: Question regarding Netflix and watching shows

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi,

Once you tap on the show and start watching, you can tap on episode list.  The 
show will stop, and you can choose the season.  There are 11 seasons there, so 
it goes through last year.  I’m hoping season 12 will be there in not too long.

Lois

Hello again everyone,

As my subject says, I have a question regarding Netflix, and watching shows. If 
I want to watch say something like, Grey's Anatomy, do I have to watch it from 
the beginning when I am using on my phone?
Or can I skip to the season that I want to actually preview? Also, once a show 
like Gray's anatomy in for the season, and I would like to view it, about how 
long does it take to end up on Netflix? Does anyone know?
I have moved all of this seasons show, and I would really like to catch up with 
it.

  Hi Ari,

  I have the Zuzo case.  It is a very minimal case that comes with a 
holster 
  with clip.  You can put the phone in with the screen facing in or out, 
right 
  side up or the other way around.  You can charge when in the holster.  I 
  would say that protection is pretty good while in the holster.  The case 
by 
  itself doesn't provide so much protection, though it's enough for me.

  What I really like is that the whole thing sits nice and close to your 
body 
  when clipped on you.  It costs just over $10 on amazon.  Here is the link.

  Subject: Belt clip case for new iPhone 6S.

  Firstly, I have a few basic requirements, but they seem to be hard to 
meet 
  these days. I need the case/clip to be able to do a few things. I'd like 
the 
  screen to be able to face out. I'd also like to be able to charge the 
thone 
  while it's in the case/clip combo. I often need to charge my current 4S 
  while out and about (though I suspect this will be less of an issue with 
the 
  6S) but Id still like the ability to charge my iPhone while it's on my 
belt.

  I tried the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro, but it didn't fully meet my 
needs. I 
  could charge the phone while in the clip, but the case and clip were 
  designed to only hold the phone with the screen facing in. I tried 
putting 
  the case in the clip with the screen facing out, but it was just not 
meant 
  to do this. The case started bending in places in which it was never 
meant 
  to bend. The OttorBox Defender is also most-likely not an option, given 
the 
  quality issues that have plagued the 6 and 6S lines. This is unfortunate, 
as 
  I've really liked OtterBox Defender cases in the past.

  So, can anyone make any recommendations that meet my requirements? Am I 
just 
  dreaming?

  Ari

It would appear that they stopped providing audio description as of season 10.
I checked the first episode of season 9, and it had description, but season 10

Neither did season 1.
I'd suggest you contact Netflix and see if they goofed, or if the show simply

Hi Richard,

It is season 10, episode 13.  It’s probably the entire season that has not been 
described, though I didn’t really notice when description stopped.

Thank you for checking.

Which season of Criminal Minds are you on that is not giving you the 
description?
I have not followed that show, but if you tell me which season and episode, I 
could test it and see if maybe for some reason it just isn't described.

Re: belt clip case for new IPhone 6S

Sorry no, there is nothing over the screen.  If you liked the otterbox cases, I 
knew this likely wouldn’t be enough protection for you.

I hope you find what you’re looking for.  I’ll keep a lookout.

What I really like is that the whole thing sits nice and close to your body

Firstly, I have a few basic requirements, but they seem to be hard to meet 
these days. I need the case/clip to be able to do a few things. I'd like 
the 
screen to be able to face out. I'd also like to be able to charge the thone 
while it's in the case/clip combo. I often need to charge my current 4S 
while out and about (though I suspect this will be less of an issue with 
the 
6S) but Id still like the ability to charge my iPhone while it's on my belt.

I tried the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro, but it didn't fully meet my needs. 
I 
could charge the phone while in the clip, but the case and clip were 
designed to only hold the phone with the screen facing in. I tried putting 
the case in the clip with the screen facing out, but it was just not meant 
to do this. The case started bending in places in which it was never meant 
to bend. The OttorBox Defender is also most-likely not an option, given the 
quality issues that have plagued the 6 and 6S lines. This is unfortunate, 
as 
I've really liked OtterBox Defender cases in the past.

So, can anyone make any recommendations that meet my requirements? Am I 
just 
dreaming?

Re: fitbit app question

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Rebecca,

When I used a Flex, I wore it on my ankle.  The step count is based on 
movement of your arm, so if you are holding on, you get no count.  If 
wearing it on your ankle won't be possible, you can attach it to your shoe 
somehow.  ITreadmill will work if you have your phone in your pocket.  That 
also is based on movement.


Good luck.

side up or the other way around.  You can charge when in the holster.  I 
would say that protection is pretty good while in the holster.  The case by 
itself doesn't provide so much protection, though it's enough for me.

What I really like is that the whole thing sits nice and close to your body 
when clipped on you.  It costs just over $10 on amazon.  Here is the link.

Subject: Belt clip case for new iPhone 6S.

Firstly, I have a few basic requirements, but they seem to be hard to meet 
these days. I need the case/clip to be able to do a few things. I'd like the 
screen to be able to face out. I'd also like to be able to charge the thone 
while it's in the case/clip combo. I often need to charge my current 4S 
while out and about (though I suspect this will be less of an issue with the 
6S) but Id still like the ability to charge my iPhone while it's on my belt.

I tried the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro, but it didn't fully meet my needs. I 
could charge the phone while in the clip, but the case and clip were 
designed to only hold the phone with the screen facing in. I tried putting 
the case in the clip with the screen facing out, but it was just not meant 
to do this. The case started bending in places in which it was never meant 
to bend. The OttorBox Defender is also most-likely not an option, given the 
quality issues that have plagued the 6 and 6S lines. This is unfortunate, as 
I've really liked OtterBox Defender cases in the past.

So, can anyone make any recommendations that meet my requirements? Am I just 
dreaming?


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Interval Timer

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Gordon,

I use Chime Squirrel.  It’s easy to use once you figure it out, and you can set 
different sounds.  Vibrations aren’t possible though.  I don’t know how much it 
costs.  It won’t show me the price since I already have it.  It wasn’t much 
though.

I use it for running if I’m doing speed work.  You set one interval at a time, 
hours, minutes, and seconds.

Take care,
Lois

Subject: Interval Timer

Hi!
Regarding my job I'd need an interval timer. To be more precise, the app would 
need to have options to settimers with different length who could alert me in, 
let's say, every five minutes.
So, I set the main timer for 60 mins, set the single beep every five minutes 
and set some sounds for 15, 30 and 45 minutes so I don't have to look on my 
watch while doing my job. I used the Gymboss Timer few years ago for this 
purpose but the new version is not accessible as the previous was.
It would also be nice if I could use vibration alerts instead of beeps and 
gleeps.
I'd prefer a free app but the price of few bucks is not a problem.
I Have an idea for workoround with "empty" sound files with pre-recorded alerts 
but I'd rather have an dedicated app for doing this.
Thanks for your suggestions.


S poštovanjem
Gordan Radić

fitbit products

Hi Terry,

The One does work with the phone app.  You do need sighted help to set it up 
now though.  Once you are set up with the account, and you have the One 
connected, the app is very accessible.

You can see steps, distance, minutes of activity.  You can also set silent 
alarms.

Take care,

Re: FitBit apps

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi,

If you are concerned with counting steps and tracking sleep, also ability to 
set alarms, you might want the FitBit One.  You clip it to your waist or bra, 
and it accurately counts steps.  Unlike ones that you wear on your wrist, you 
don’t have to worry about moving your arm to have it work.

Unfortunately, the FitBit app has gone down hill as far as ease of use.  When I 
first got my first Flex, at which time most things were accessible, there are 
some problems now with setup and other aspects.

I do still love my Aria scale and my One.

Take care,
Lois

Hi Sharonda, 

Depends on what you want in your Fitbit.  My biggest concern was sleep so I 
ordered the Charge.  But you can go to www.fitbit.com to decide which version 
you want.
As afar as syncing is concerned simply what happens is that everything you do 
is synced to an account on the web.  One thing Michael made me remember though 
is it tracks what you do by arm movements so you need to be sure the arm you 
put it on is free and able to swing or do what ever that arm does in the 
exercising realm.

  all the buttons whereas the Fitbit computer you can’t get the number
  provided by Fitbit in to the app so that the account and your fitbit sync
  together.  I have a sneaking suspicion which I am going to find out later
  that the edit box in the computer program for the Mac is not allowing VO

  I asked for them to escalate it up to their developers.

Re: How do You Know When an App is on Sale?

Hi,

I got this app and had trouble setting up an account.  I tried with two 
different e-mail addresses and got errors both times.  The first one was 
about timing out, and the second one said something about duplicate

Do you have any ideas?  Maybe, I should try uninstalling and reinstalling 
the app?

It is the same app. I just don't do the whole sharing with friends part. Oh
and to be notified by email when an app drops in price or has an update,
make sure and go into settings and enable email notifications. This will
require you to verify your email address, so watch for an email from them
and follow the prompts given in the email to verify your address.

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

[Lois Butterfield]

I agree, the 6S is super fast at recognizing a fingerprint.  It is so fast 
that if I don't want the phone to unlock, I have to use another finger to 
push the home button.  Yes, sometimes I just want to look at the new 
notifications without unlocking the phone.  It is much faster recognition 
than my previous phone.

Hi Kimber,

I think it may have to do how you press the home button. Especially on the 
new phones, the 6S and 6S Plus,  Touch Id is so incredibly fast and reliable 
that all you have to do is press down the home button with the finger you 
scanned and by the time you let go it's usually enough for the phone to 
unlock. On my old 5S I press the home button to wake up the phone and as I 
let go I continue to rest my thumb on the home button for about a second or 
a bit less and it unlocks for me very reliably.

In light of our recent discussion of the fingerprint recognition on the 
iPhone I have something interesting to report. I've been doing some very 
unscientific testing with my iPhone 6 and have found the following.


When attempting to unlock the phone with my fingerprint, if I press the lock 
button on the side of the device while holding my thumb over the home 
button, nine times out of ten my print will be recognized and the phone will 
unlock. If however, I press the home button to unlock, the opposite is true 
and nine times of ten the recognition will fail.


I don't know what this means but I thought it was interesting.

Re: messages

Hi Mark,

I do get a tone when a new message comes in.  What I'm missing is, when I 
touch the messages icon, it doesn't tell me how many new items I have like 
it is supposed to.  It's a strange problem.


Maybe nobody's phone does this anymore?  For example, if I touch the phone 
icon, I will hear, phone, 3 new items, double tap to open.  Messages used to 
be the same way.  If I touch mail, I will hear, 6 unread E-mails.


I hope this explains it better.

Re: Best app to read Bookshare books

[Lois Butterfield]

This app is amazing.  It can do so much.  Once I joined bookshare and got 
voice dream, I gave up audible.


If you want to ask questions about it off line, feel free to contact me.

Wasn't there, at one time, a lite version of this app so you could test it
out? I am not finding it in the app store now. I don't want to spend $9.99

At the bottom of the home screen on the voice dream app are four buttons.
If you press the first button, a screen pops up and at the end of the short
list is Bookshare books.  Select this option and it brings up a search box
where you type in the title or the author of the book.  The next step is to
download the Bookshare book.

Before doing this, you should go to the fourth button on the bottom of the
home screen. This is where you go to enter in your Bookshare account
information.  Once this information has been entered, you are then linked to
your Bookshare account and you can find books by going to the first button
at the bottom of the home screen as I mentioned above.

I am not aware of a sleep timer on the Voice a Dream app.  You could email
support for this app and inquire if there is such an option.

Occasionally voice dream reader has been on sale.  I do not remember exactly
when I purchased this app, but I do recall that it was on sale at the time.

  As far as Cupertino, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about this.  
For some reason, some Apple devices focus on Cupertino when you are in the 
Pacific Time Zone instead of your actual location.  I have read articles where 
other devices like iPads also do the same thing.

  As far as the seconds displaying on your watch face, this is determined by 
the clock face you have chosen.  To change clock faces, just press down with 
one finger when on your clock face.  When the screen appears, you can flick 
left and right through the different clock faces.  When you have found the one 
you want, first flick down with one finger and double tap on customize to 
choose what complications you want to appear on your clock face.  On the 
complications screen, you can flick down on each complication to change it to 
what you want each one to be, like current temperature, next calendar event, 
battery level, and so on.  Once you have your complications set, just press the 
crown to go back to the clock face screen.  You should land back on the clock 
face you had chosen.  Just flick down to activate to set your clock face and 
land back on your clock face.  Now everything should be as you just set it.

  As far as being out of range of your phone, your time will still display.  
You will just not get notifications, and some of your complications like next 
calendar event and some apps on your watch might not work since they sync to 
your phone to get the necessary information.

  I hope all of this helps!!  I learned a lot by listening to the AppleVis 
podcast about the different functions of the watch.

Re: Best Case for iPhone 6S

If the case has some give, it will work.  I have a Speck Candy Shell case, and 
it fits both phones.  A harder case I had for my 6 did not fit my 6S.  It

I would think the Otter Box would fit both, maybe the 6S better.  Perhaps the

  Hello list,

  So I’ve been experiencing a recent problem with my Plantronics Voyager Edge 
when connected to two iPhones. Both phones are running iOS 9.1. 

  On the first connected phone, VO comes through fine, but with the second 
device, even though it is connected via Bluetooth, Voiceover doesn’t go through 
the headset. Nor do other notification sounds. Be it mail or breaking news 
alerts, etc. I can press and hold the home button on the phone and indeed, I 
will get that Siri chime to say something and when I issue a command, Siri will 
speak back to me, but that’s it. No other sounds.

  I’ve tried removing the headset’s Bluetooth profile and paring it again, it 
will work initially, but again, shortly after, VO and the other sounds go 
silent on the second connected device. 

  The settings on both phones with the Plantronics iOS app are the same. I’ve 
only used this headset on these two phones so it’s not like I  forgot to 
unpaired it from another phone or tablet.

  The headset’s maybe five months old. 

  Is anyone else dealing with this annoying issue and were they able to resolve

Thank you for saying that.  It works well if you have the phone in your hand 
and are using your thumb on the same hand to do things.  There is no way you 
can reach the top of the screen unless you use that feature.  It's actually 
pretty neat.

It doesn't necessarily have to be for sighted folks only, it works just the 
same when Voiceover is on and makes it easier to reach icons at the top 
right of the screen if you are using it one-handed. |If you enable this and 
then slide your finger around the screen the icons stay compressed towards 
the lower half of the screen, only if you stop and don't do anything for a 
second or two the swish sounds comes again and it goes back to normal.

Guys the swishing sound you guys are hearing is a feature for sighted 
people.  When you touch the home key if you ever so gently touch it twice 
without pressing it you will hear the swoosh sound.  What that actually does 
is it moves the top half of the screen to the bottom so that people don't 
have to stretch there fingers to get to the top half of the screen.  Don't 
worry about it, it does nothing for blind users accept to give us a nice 
sound effect.

Re: Using cordless phones with a cell phone

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Karl,

I tried this once and wasn't happy with the sound quality.  Sometimes, there 
was a loud buzzing in the background, and sometimes, voices were just really 
distorted.  I also didn't like that you can't use your cell phone the same 
way while it's hooked up to your cordless.


It's been a long time though, and maybe things have improved.  I did get so 
that I could do the connection process myself without problems.  I'd 
recommend trying it to see how you like it.  It is easy to undo.


Good luck.

it says the name of your carrier along with Wi-Fi network where it used to 
just say the name of the carrier. I just noticed this morning that now, 
although my Wi-Fi calling is still on, it says T-Mobile network. It does not 
say T-Mobile Wi-Fi network or Wi-Fi T-Mobile, which ever it had been. I

Oh man, I just upgraded to iOS 9.1 yesterday from iOS 8. I absolutely cannot 
deal with this Samantha. I want to jump out of my chair. I tried the male 
Siri and he sounds absolutely awful. If I slow him way down, it sounds 
better but I can’t listen to news articles and such that slowly. I am soo 
frustrated. I have never had this problem before where I could not find a 
comfortable voice. Alex is way to scratchy for me. :( I’m stuck and wish I 
could get some of the voices from voice Dream reader on my phone.


I also want to comment on something strange. I have had my keyboard 
shortcuts show up on a brand new iPhone that was not started from a backup. 
All I did was enter my apple ID and password and my keyboard shortcuts were 
in tact. This was on iOS 7. I remember very clearly being shocked that I did 
not need to re-create my keyboard shortcuts. I have not experimented with 
this strange thing on iOS 8 or 9 though.

Hello Everyone,

Well, last night, I finally installed iOS 9.1 on my 6 Plus.

For me, there are no proverbial show-stoppers.

1.
However, given that I have been in an ongoing dialog with Apple engineers, 
I

am a little disappointed that the camera app zoom VoiceOver bug still
persist.  However, on a positive note, at least, enabling VoiceOver, after
zooming in on an image, no longer cancels the zoom.  Baby steps, eh?
(smile).

2.
I am surprised at how much I miss having the time announced when waking 
the

phone.

3.
Perhaps it's just me but I swear the quality of Samantha has been greatly
degraded in this version.  I just don't understand why, with every major
release since iOS 6.x, the quality of Samantha has been steadily 
declining.

Of course, this is just my opinion.  What I do find interesting is that
Samantha's pronunciation of words that were absolutely correct in iOS 8, 
has

been changed and are now incorrect in iOS 9.1.

In iOS 8.x, I found the high quality version of the Samantha voice 
somewhat

pleasant, in iOS 9.x, I find it unsettling, to say the least.  I cannot
imagine having the current Samantha voice reading long stretches of texts,
whereas in the previous iOS, this would not have even been at issue.  Is
Apple trying to force everyone to Alex?  (Yes, a conspiracy theory).
(Smile).

4.
Also, the SMS Reply To dictation feedback problem is very, very annoying.

For those who disagree, let me say that I respect your opinion.  Also, the
feedback is not much of a problem if one dictates using either a Bluetooth
or wired headset.  I suppose it is not much of an issue if one only 
dictates
1 or 2 words.  However, if one attempts to dictate a full sentence, then 
the

feedback becomes problematic as a kind of feedback loop ensues causing a
great deal of random text to be inserted as Siri, hearing VoiceOver, 
begins

to dictate to itself.

5.
I know this comes up every time a new OS is released but it seems to me as
though my battery drains faster since updating from 8.x to 9.1.  I just
turned off a lot of items that were active in the background app refresh
area so I'll see how it goes.  However, I can tell you that I updated a
total of three 6 plus phones, yesterday, two from iOS 9.0.2.  Now, even
though both of those two phones that were already running 9.x, were 
plugged

into an outlet at the time of the update, via OTA, both had less charge
after updating than they did, before the update began.  I've never seen 
such

a thing before.

6.
As always, I have sent my findings to Apple.

7.
Finally, and I want to be clear on this:  Updating the OS OTA 
(over-the-air)

is in no way the same as installing it from iTunes via a USB cable.  For
whatever reason, there does seem to be a pattern of more problems when 
going

from iOS 8.x to 9.x via OTA.

What is the difference between the OTA method and the iTunes method?  In
short, updating OTA does not rewrite the file allocation table and file
structures, just for starters.  When you update via iTunes, it is as if 
you

are doing a fresh install as all of the file tables and data clusters are
actually rewritten to the disk..

Want proof of this?  No problem, here's how to verify the difference. 
When

you use the OTA method, you will notice that any custom keyboard shortcuts
you may have added remain, after the update.  However, when you update via
iTunes, you will discover that only default keyboard shortcuts exist,
meaning you will have to rewrite your custom keyboard shortcuts.

I wish I could lay claim to having learned about the difference between 
the

two methods, independently but I was told of the difference by a senior
Apple iOS design engineer.

I'll be honest, I have

Re: Wait loss and exercise tracking apps question

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi,

I use my fitness pal off and on.  I have no problem with my fitbit one 
syncing with my fitness pal.  The problem is the health app.  I also do not 
pay for anything.  I'm not sure what the $49.99 buys you.


Take care,
Lois
