Michelle,

I agree, that Siri works well for most things. However, I have not found a way 
to get Siri to convert currencies. Do you know an app for that? That's what I 
liked about multi convert. It had just about everything.

Re: Apple pulls Airport routers, possible refresh coming

2016-05-29 Thread Kevin Barry
For one, there is no provision for quality of service. It is a router
designed to be simple to set up and run. It does that but at the expense of
losing options. If you are familiar with these sorts of devices I should
not have to tell you this. As for reasonable speeds, that depends on what
you define as reasonable. It works okay but many competitors do better.

Hi,

In our tests, albeit not exhaustive nor extremely intricate, it was primarily 
the commercial AP's like Cisco, that out performed our Extremes.  I'll also 
admit that these tests were two or so years ago, so there may have been others 
that surpassed the Extreme.  As a home network unit, I'd still recommend it 
anytime.

Re: Apple pulls Airport routers, possible refresh coming

2016-05-29 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu
Yeah, I’m with Tim here.  There are of course competitors, but to me, speed 
isn’t everything and you can more than make up for any potential inflexibility 
in the router part of the AirPort by just using it as a pure bridging 
access-point, at which it’s very good.  The only thing I wish they’d bring back 
is SNMP support, and I wish the “Guest Network” could use a VLAN tag and not be 
limited just to a NAT setup.  Those features are of course “Enterprise”-grade, 
but I’m sure they aren’t too much to ask for a product like this, seeing as how 
Apple were once targeting them at small businesses.

JMO, of course, YMMV, and all that.

Re: Home Sharing

Well I forget the wording of the ad just now, but one of the buttons should be 
something like “Show my music” or some such thing.  The other starts the 
subscription process for Apple Music.  Press the continue to your library 
button and you’ll be in your music.

Pretty slimy behaviour by Apple, that.  If you don’t want Apple Music, go to 
Settings and then Music and turn it off.  It doesn’t get rid of the ad, but it 
does rearrange the tabs nicer.

Re: Safari bookmark redirecting to autocompleted site name

2016-05-29 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu
Frequently visited sites now appear in your favourites, which are autocompleted 
in the address bar, in your bookmarks.  Perhaps if you tried going to Bookmarks 
> Show Frequently Visited in Favourites and making sure it’s toggled off, you 
might get the desired behaviour.

Personally I’m happy with this feature, but I can appreciate the frustration.  
Perhaps if you were to just edit your favourites to remove the offending link, 
it’d be all right.  You can do that, and there’s a Safari preference that says 
how many top sites are maintained.

Re: unauthorizing devices from itunes

2016-05-29 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

No need to call Apple Care.  Go into iTunes, press the iTunes Store button, 
interact with the HTML content, navigate to the bottom of the HTML area and 
locate the Account link.  Activate this link and enter your Apple ID 
credentials.  Interact with the Summary area and find the Computer 
Authorizations section.  There is a "De-Authorization All" link there.  
Activate it and confirm.  This will, of course, de-authorize all of your 
computers, so, you'll just need to re-authorize the ones you want and you're 
good to go.

Later...

Actually, Siri works quite well for currency conversion. I say, Convert 100 US 
dollars into Australian dollars.
Or say, How many Australian dollars is 100 US dollars.
Or say, 100 US dollars is how many Australian dollars.

The translation of what was said is displayed on the screen and can be located 
with VoiceOver. This way, one can see / hear what Siri actually understood of

Re: Home Sharing

2016-05-29 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu
That checkbox in Preferences is irrelevant to Home Sharing; it only control 
sharing of music to other Macs/Windows/DAAP clients, i.e. iTunes running on a 
computer (but not iOS) or an iOS DAAP app.  The control you want is in File, 
Home Sharing as you know.

Put music on your iOS device, eh?  Of course, because you’d never want to use 
Home Sharing without first syncing or using iCloud Library.  Apple can be 
amazingly obtuse sometimes.  If that’s what it takes, it’s absolutely 
ridiculous.

Now that you know, you could consider doing what Apple wants, syncing something 
over or signing up for iTunes Match (resistance is futile, for me).  You’d get 
a little benefit from having a cloud of your music, or something local.  
Anyway, I’m glad you’ve found the solution.

Re: Apple pulls Airport routers, possible refresh coming

2016-05-29 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
I love my Airport Extreme as I told my ISP that I’d not use their routers as I 
had bad experience with another ISP provider with their Router and so when I 
moved to my current provider, I was determined to use my own equipment as 
normally in the past, I’d not get good performance with an ISP Router as the 
software would not be suitable for the Mac as providers normally provide for 
Windows PC market and they put software on them which are not very accessible 
for blind people to use.  I am not highly technical so I prefer things to be as 
simple as possible and if I use Apple stuff then I’m bound to get support from 
other Voice Over users on this list if I have a problem and I know that the 
Airport Extreme works with Voice over.  I know these days ISP routers might 
work with Apple but the software is not easy to install and something is bound 
to go wrong.  I have been with my current provider since 2013 and because of my 
current set up, I’ve never had a problem and things work flawlessly.  I get 
uninterrupted streaming because of my Draytech and Airport Extreme.

   Of course? Really? I never ever would have reached that conclusion. 
(smiles) Syncing something seems to act like a key.


   iTunes Match, does that allow one to listen to content because its 
in the cloud? So it can be accessed anywhere anytime? Crazy to pay Apple 
for that. Maybe I am a Scrooge. But Apple then will know what kind of 
music I like. In that case, let them pay me to share.


   Yes its nice to resolve one more thing. Now to play with Apple TV

Re: Home Sharing

2016-05-29 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu
Of course.  With Apple, everything is obvious when you have consumed the 
appropriate mind-bending drugs. :)

Well, with iCloud Match or Apple Music Library, I was thinking that since one 
feature is to show you an online library, you could take advantage of Home 
Sharing when you’re home, but iCloud when away or when you need to download 
some tracks.  Of course, syncing is a pain, and of course the cloud is where 
Apple wants you to go.  And hey, if you have the bandwidth, and if you make 
changes infrequently enough that you won’t notice the synchronisation, why not? 
 I’d prefer not to have to depend on Apple for that, but I’ll concede that 
they’ve got me here; it’s hard to deny the convenience of having access, 
magically, to all my stuff even when iTunes isn’t running.  Even if, honestly, 
I’d prefer Apple make a media server available whereby iOS could download and 
not just stream, and preferably where iTunes did not have to be running, and 
better yet that it work on commodity hardware, this is still a workable 
compromise.

Re: Home Sharing

2016-05-29 Thread E.T.
   Hehehe. Apple only markets what they believe we want after all. Of 
course they are one step ahead of us and let us think its our idea.


   That said, as long as we have choices its ok. If I was on the move a 
lot I could see using Match. Or if I only cared about new music, then 
Apple Music might work.


   I do want to watch those subscriptions. They could easily add up. 
There are two I will explore. Qello and Netflix


   I don't think 'resistance is futile' applies to me any more for I 
have been assimilated.

Well, with iCloud Match or Apple Music Library, I was thinking that since one 
feature is to show you an online library, you could take advantage of Home 
Sharing when you’re home, but iCloud when away or when you need to download 
some tracks.  Of course, syncing is a pain, and of course the cloud is where 
Apple wants you to go.  And hey, if you have the bandwidth, and if you make 
changes infrequently enough that you won’t notice the synchronisation, why not? 
 I’d prefer not to have to depend on Apple for that, but I’ll concede that 
they’ve got me here; it’s hard to deny the convenience of having access, 
magically, to all my stuff even when iTunes isn’t running.  Even if, honestly, 
I’d prefer Apple make a media server available whereby iOS could download and 
not just stream, and preferably where iTunes did not have to be running, and 
better yet that it work on commodity hardware, this is still a workable 
compromise.

I don’t need bespoke music streaming though.  Only Match.  Match is billed

Yes, QOS could be useful to have. I've been trying to figure out why whenever I 
make a phone call through Sprint wifi calling or even my Obihai voip adapter, I 
get solid receive with very choppy transmission. I don't generally keep 
anything uploading at the same time, so something's crossed somewhere, possibly 
even Time Warner in this old building.

  For one, there is no provision for quality of service. It is a router 
designed to be simple to set up and run. It does that but at the expense of 
losing options. If you are familiar with these sorts of devices I should not 
have to tell you this. As for reasonable speeds, that depends on what you 
define as reasonable. It works okay but many competitors do better.

I wonder if these guest network features really do separation as well as

whatever nasties are on a guests laptop easily find their way across the gap 
and hit your stuff anyways? From what I have been reading lately, it is 
better to put your little small devices like the cameras, thermostats, etc, 
on the guest side in order to limit them practically to their own sandbox

Yeah, I’m with Tim here.  There are of course competitors, but to me, speed 
isn’t everything and you can more than make up for any potential 
inflexibility in the router part of the AirPort by just using it as a pure 
bridging access-point, at which it’s very good.  The only thing I wish they’d 
bring back is SNMP support, and I wish the “Guest Network” could use a VLAN 
tag and not be limited just to a NAT setup.  Those features are of course 
“Enterprise”-grade, but I’m sure they aren’t too much to ask for a product 
like this, seeing as how Apple were once targeting them at small businesses.


JMO, of course, YMMV, and all that.

Re: Apple pulls Airport routers, possible refresh coming

2016-05-29 Thread Scott Granados
Two problems you’re running in to.

The peers between Time Warner and Sprint are congested, the WiFi calling head 
ends are also over subscribed likely and your provider may be reprioritizing 
packets.  Remember your WiFi calling is likely encapsulated in a VPN so not 
likely to be QOS tagged because the routers in-between can’t see inside the 
packet.  This is unless the type of service bits are set on the calling WiFi 
packets and this only prioritizes outbound anyway.  Your carrier strips off QOS 
bits anyway so it’s all best effort once it hits the public network.
