RE: Questions regarding hard drives

[Simon Fogarty]

Thelast product I looked at I think was called Paragon or something similar to 
that.

I think it was 20 US dollars possibly a little more.

Someone else may be able to correct the name if not right.

Hello Simon and list, thank you for this information. I really appreciate it.
I am not using the latest operating system. My Mac uses Yosemite. From what I 
understand, I cannot upgrade this. So, what kind of tools are out there, to be 
able to write to an in TF S Dr.?
And how accessible are they?

I am very new at using a Mac. I still have a whole lot to learn. This is a bit 
overwhelming for me. But at the same time, I am enjoying the challenge.

Thank you,

Terri

RE: The End Of Apple, Forbes Magazine

[Simon Fogarty]

I'd be surprised if apples end is even close to near.

Remember they have a shit load of dollars to last them along time.

Their trouble is that the brains of the outfit didn't leave anyone else to 
follow with the injanuity!
There is still time to find that missing link.

Well, I hope he's wrong about Apple's end being near, but what he describes is 
certainly true in our house.  I used to upgrade just about every year.  But I 
did not upgrade this past year, and I'm thinking about sitting out next year, 
too.  If I'm going to pay $1000 for a phone, I definitely want more than one 
year's use out of it.  While I'm happy to spend a little more to support Apple 
because of all they've done for accessibility, my bank account isn't 
bottomless.  You'd think someone at Apple would be putting all this together.  
It's one thing to charge top dollar because you can get it.  But if products 
aren't selling, then they need to revise their business model.

RE: The End Of Apple, Forbes Magazine

[Simon Fogarty]

I've decided that my x will have to last me 2 years, so that will be very late 
this year.

I don't see the need to update to the XS as there isn't a lot of difference 
between the x and XS in my book.

RE: The End Of Apple, Forbes Magazine

[Simon Fogarty]

Apple are over priced yes,

My ipHone X 256 retailed at the time for 2200 NZ dollars,
 Extremely costly for a mobile phone,

 RRP for these devices can be seen on the apple.co.nz website,

 I think if apple were to bring their pricing down by 25% it would put heir 
devices in to  a range of the next closest products e.g. samsungs galaxy s9 / 
Note 9,
 
But I still think they are lacking in changes,
Nothing in the iPhone has really changed with design other than the home button 
and removal of the phone jack,
Nothing else is new, other companys have had or got the same things

Even if it was fact most of you wouldn't say so. I mean really this is an apple 
list. Apple is over priced, and they have only made this point by raising 
prices like mad with in the last few years. The only reason why people in the 
states are so shocked by the prices is because they are no longer getting the 
phone at the discount prices.
In reality you were still having to pay you just use to be locked in to a 2 
year contract with a bill that was still high. I know someone will say well x 
other company charges almost as apple for what ever phone, this might be true 
but apple leads the way in this case. Plus lack of features and all makes me 
want to run away from the IPhone. I really could careless about updates on time 
so much, when it's not like I get much new that matters to me. I am sure I can 
get another year or two out of this 7plus and I am cool with that. Unless I end 
up jumping on the 5g train.

RE: Setting Up Printer in Windows VM

[Simon Fogarty]

I've just recently removed my fusion, 
Or should I say I reimaged my notebook and haven't reinstalled fusion yet.
 There was an option in fusion that allowed you to to use a second network 
connection to the vm,
So what I had and this may be why it worked.

 Primary connection came in to my mac minis ethernet connection,

 And the fusion vm got it's network connection from a USB to 1Gb ethernet 
adapter,
Fusion let me set that adapter as the network connection to the vm and 
therefore a stand alone machine.
I'll have to install fusion and check it out again.

Accessible diagnostic tools for the iPhone?

[Michael Busboom]

Hello everybody,

On one of the iPhones I use from time to time (it’s an iPhone 10) I keep 
getting messages that the phone is running short on space. It’s a 64  GB phone 
and the sighted person with whom I share the phone doesn’t download much music 
or take pictures.

Are there any diagnostic tools out there that let you know what programs are 
taking up the most memory, and if memory really isn’t the issue, will they look 
at other possibilities?

Sorry for not being more specific, but I really don’t know how to phrase the 
question any other way.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Subject: Accessible diagnostic tools for the iPhone?

Hello everybody,

On one of the iPhones I use from time to time (it’s an iPhone 10) I keep 
getting messages that the phone is running short on space. It’s a 64  GB phone 
and the sighted person with whom I share the phone doesn’t download much music 
or take pictures.

Are there any diagnostic tools out there that let you know what programs are 
taking up the most memory, and if memory really isn’t the issue, will they look 
at other possibilities?

Sorry for not being more specific, but I really don’t know how to phrase the 
question any other way.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Issue with Plantronics device and MacOS Input device

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi List,

So I've got a Mac Book Pro 13" from 2018 which I use for work,

I've just created a new image on the machine which is not I believe part of the 
issue!

On this device I use a Phone system called Cisco Jabre,
And the phone headset I'm using is a Plantronics Voyager 5200UC, that includes 
the  BT600 USB Bluetooth adapter, 

The BT600 and V5200 are connected fine and have worked without issue until 
recently,

 Under the Jabre software preferences I set the phone ring tone to all devices, 
which is the notebook and the headset so both ring when a call comes in,

When on a call the Plantronics V5200 gives me the voice of the caller,
 
However all working correctly the microphone should be the boom mic on the 
V5200 except the jabre software shows microphone volume as Zero,
And under mac os system preferences, sound and then input 
The Plantronics BT600 is the output device or the 5200 by connectin 
But there is no microphone input configuration volumes or settins showing.

And everytime I check the jabre prefs the microphone is set to zero!

Meaning no voice heard by caller when I talk.

I've removed the software, the bt usb adapter, and profile for the user and 
still No go with this devices microphone volume.
Any chance someones heard of this type of thing or can tell me how to get the 
microphone / input device volume back on my mac book.

Oh yeah,
Internal mic works fine,
 This machine is running OS 10.14.2 with all updates installed.

Any information would be appreciated.

Simon F

 Well, I hope he's wrong about Apple's end being near, but what he 
 describes is certainly true in our house.  I used to upgrade just about 
 every year.  But I did not upgrade this past year, and I'm thinking about 
 sitting out next year, too.  If I'm going to pay $1000 for a phone, I 
 definitely want more than one year's use out of it.  While I'm happy to 
 spend a little more to support Apple because of all they've done for 
 accessibility, my bank account isn't bottomless.  You'd think someone at 
 Apple would be putting all this together.  It's one thing to charge top 
 dollar because you can get it.  But if products aren't selling, then they 
 need to revise their business model.

Re: airdrop

[alia robinson]

I love air drop. I used to use those things, but imo they’re just 
complications. air drop works great for me.

Re: Accessible diagnostic tools for the iPhone?

Simon, I feel so stupid, because as soon as I read your excellent 
reply, I could have kicked myself for taking up people’s time with something I 
had simply forgotten.

But that leads me to a related question, but I will put it in a different 
message in order to keep threads confined to just one thing.

Thanks again,

Mike

Why so many pictures, when I never take pictures?

[Michael Busboom]

Hi, everybody,

When checking memory allocation for various apps, I discovered that 1.24 GB 
could be saved if I automatically sent iPhotos to the cloud whenever I took 
one. Since I never intentionally take pictures, I can only assume that these 
photos are generated whenever I lock my phone.  Since I frequently lock my 
phone and always hear the sound of a camera shutter when doing so, I am 
assuming that I am also taking a picture.

Is there any way to lock my iPhone XR without activating the camera every time?

Many thanks,

Mike

Re: airdrop

[Jonathan Cohn]

Before your mac will show up on the phone, you need to select airdrop from the 
finder sidebar. It has been a while since I have done this, but if you are 
still having issues, I can try it again. What exactly are you wanting the 
outcome to be? Are you trying to transfer a PDF to your Macintosh?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Re: Accessible diagnostic tools for the iPhone?

[Jonathan Cohn]

I recently had an issue with a iPad AIR where movies were downloaded and then 
removed, but the space never really showed back up. When I looked at storage 
nothing was taking up more than 4GB and except for a secondary web browser, all 
non-default apps had been removed from the iPAD. I ended up having to reset to 
factory in order to get the iPAD to not complain about being out of space.

Hopefully, you will be able to not have to resort to this drastic an action.

Re: Why so many pictures, when I never take pictures?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

The smart aleck response would be to press the right buttons.  Now, to be more 
respectful, what's likely happening is that when you go to press the lock 
button, you must be holding your iPhone in a manner that has you press the down 
volume and the side/lock button at the same time.  This combination press 
results in a screen shot being taken.  I've done this a few times myself and 
have forced myself to hold a little lower on the iPhone so that my thumb does 
not accidentally press the volume button at the same time as my index finger is 
pressing the side button.  It's a fairly normal action as when you go to hit 
the side button, your thumb also squeezes a little to ensure you have a good 
grip, thus if your thumb is on the volume button, it will probably also be 
pressed.  So, re-positioning your hand is the best option in my experience.  
Second, I suggest you go into the Photos app, select Albums from the tabs along 
the bottom, then up near the top, select the All Photos album.  Once in this 
album, press the Select button then double-tap each photo that is labelled as a 
Screen Shot.  After highlighting them all, there's a Delete button located near 
the bottom of the screen.  This should free up the space used up by all those 
screen shots.

HTH.

Re: Why so many pictures, when I never take pictures?

[Michael Busboom]

Hey Tim,

You always have such constructive feedback on this list, so even if you were 
ever to be  „smart-alecky,“ which you weren’t, I wouldn’t mind.

So I learned something new: If you actually want to take a picture using the 
iPhone X or XR, you press the button on the right side of the phone while 
pressing the down button on the other side of the phone, right?

Thanks so much for your feedback, Tim!

Mike

Re: Why so many pictures, when I never take pictures?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi Mike,

The combination of quickly pressing the down volume and the right-side button 
takes a screen shot.  Pressing that same combination and holding it will bring 
up the Shutdown/Emergency Call dialog.  There is a similar thing though in the 
Camera app.  When the Camera app is open, you can point at the scene you wish 
to take a picture of, then press either the up or down volume button to take 
the picture.  This, to me, is especially helpful as a VO user as I don't need 
to mess around with the screen once the picture is properly framed in the view 
finder.  Well, to be honest, I can't usually tell if it's properly framed, but 
either someone else can tell me or I can guess.  In either case, I find it 
easier to just press a volume button instead of flicking around on the screen.

Hey Tim,

You always have such constructive feedback on this list, so even if you were 
ever to be  „smart-alecky,“ which you weren’t, I wouldn’t mind.

So I learned something new: If you actually want to take a picture using the 
iPhone X or XR, you press the button on the right side of the phone while 
pressing the down button on the other side of the phone, right?

Thanks so much for your feedback, Tim!

Skype weirdness under Mojave?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi all,

I just tried to hold my first Skype call since upgrading to Mojave.  The call 
came in, I pressed answer with audio only.  The person at the other end of the 
line was there.  We both kept saying hello.  I could hear her, but she could 
not hear me.  Then, after she hung up, I couldn't get Skype to close, it was 
almost like my Mac froze.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any fixes?
Thanks,
Donna

It always did, unless the upgrade to Mojave changed that.  How would I check

   I haven't used Skype other than to update it to version 8.34. Does 
Skype have permission to access the microphone?

gig and I needed more room for my apps. I sold it back to Apple. if you like 
small phones I'd recommend the se. if you get on 
"blind-...@groups.io " a lot of folks on there are 
selling iPhones.

Selecting Emojis on the Touch Bar

[Brandon Olivares]

I love the emoji selection option on the Touch Bar. But how would I scroll to a 
different page of emojis? If it’s not on the first page, I’m not sure how to 
quickly navigate to others besides just flicking through. Is there a way?

Everything new in iOS 12.2: HomeKit TVs, Remote in Control Center, Apple News, & more

[Mary Otten]

FYI.

Everything new in iOS 12.2: HomeKit TVs, Remote in Control Center, Apple News, 
& more
AppleInsider

 After a lengthy beta period for iOS 12.1.3, Apple has released iOS 12.2 to 
developers. There are several changes in store for this point update and 
AppleInsider walks you through what to expect.

 

iOS 12.2 beta 1
The biggest news of the beta is Apple News is launching for Canadian users in 
both iOS 12.2, as well as macOS Mojave 10.14.4. During the beta period, the 
content won't be refreshed as frequently as it will at the full launch but is 
available in both English and French.


Apple launched Apple News with iOS 9 in the U.S. before rolling out to 
additional countries such as the UK and Australia.



Control Center remote
Another change in iOS 12.2 beta 1 is a redesigned remote for Apple TV when 
accessed through Control Center. It now goes full screen and has a cleaner 
interface. It can also now be accessed directly from the lock screen while 
playing content through the iPhone using AirPlay.

Inside of the Wallet app, there is a redesigned Latest Transactions section 
with new icons and groups. It makes it much quicker to see where you last used 
Apple Pay cards. When on the Apple Pay Cash card a new button is present to 
quickly add funds.



iOS Home app
HomeKit is getting support for TVs in iOS 12.2, with several being announced 
during CES 2019 earlier this year. The Remote app in Control Center also will 
now support these TVs. In the Home app, you can see "Allow Speaker & TV Access" 
which used to just say "Allow Speaker Access" for controlling who can play back 
content.



iOS 12.2 Safari glyphs
In Safari, as you are typing, autocomplete suggestions have a new arrow icon to 
let you search that term.

Inside of Settings > Map there is a new category for Climate with Air Quality 
Index and Weather Condition toggles.

You can toggle off the ability for websites to access your motion and 
orientation information within Safari settings. Additionally, any website not 
using HTTPS is flagged as not secure.

We will continue to update this post with more features found in iOS 12.2 beta 
1 as they are uncovered.

Re: Setting Up Printer in Windows VM

Simon,
   Add a second network adapter? What's interesting is I never had to 
do anything to use the printer over ethernet. I may try removing the 
printer from the Mac then reinstall it.

  Primary connection came in to my mac minis ethernet connection,

  And the fusion vm got it's network connection from a USB to 1Gb ethernet

Fusion let me set that adapter as the network connection to the vm and

I'll have to install fusion and check it out again.

Simon.
 It was already set to bridged auto detect. Changed it to nat and to 
bridged ethernet, no go. Went into the Fusion network settings and in the table 
ethernet is partially available. Does that offer a clue?

 Need to borrow a pair of eyes to get it on wifi.

You need to tell the vm to use the mac's network port so that the printer can 
see the network that way.

Unless you can use wifi to connect the mac to the internet and wired
ethernet to connect your vm to the network Which is what I would be looking at.

  Running VMware Fusion 11 under Mojave. I had things working with the 
printer connected via ethernet. I had to disconnect and move the printer and 
when reconnected I could not print. I tried adding it again but not sure sure 
Windows now sees the ethernet port. Works fine on the Mac side. Ideas welcome.

Re: The End Of Apple, Forbes Magazine

[Eric Oyen]

Well,
Even if apple were to dispense with their computer/datapad/idevice lines, they 
would still be profitable as a cloud storage and electronic publisher with at 
least $150 billion annually in sales. One other thing they could do, bring back 
licensed OS X on third party hardware and then just produce a supported 
hardware index. This would allow them to sell their OS X for just under $30 and 
still maintain quality control of the OS. Mind you, this is similar to the 
windows software model, only the hardware would be a bit more limited (like 
certain brands or models of video hardware, CPU/motherboard combos, sound 
devices, etc.). Back in ’08, I used to run a “Hackintosh” here using OS X 
Leopard (10.4) and snow leopard. Nice OS when you used the right hardware (like 
an Nvidia GTX-9600 or later video card, Intel multicore cpu (pre i5) on an ASUS 
IL-9 Pro Motherboard and a True SoundBlaster Audigy Pro device with built-in 
Firewire and DSP.  Btw, I still have that machine here and I use it for some 
things that don’t require the latest OS to run. It is still a beast (it can run 
the latest world of warships or world of tanks and can even handle the latest 
world of warcraft). I know, my room mate uses it when his windows machine can’t 
handle the load. Not too shabby for a machine that’s 10 years old! :)

Anyway, Apple is far from dead, but they are not going to be able to sustain 
their current business model without some significant changes.

I use artificial sight, and i will put it like this, the iphone shines, the 
android phone crimes.
If people dont want apple , by god let them change, either you drive an Audi or 
an old Toyota, just remember if your life is on the line, dont you want the 
very best money can buy?
Right now i strongly believe its apple, i dont even think android have phones 
that comes close as in ram and cpu... but i could be wrong about that one 
My only reason to use android is, it is open, and i will admit that, it is a 
good testing platform.

RE: The End Of Apple, Forbes Magazine

[Simon Fogarty]

You mean go backwards?!

 No they just need to keep up the quality and lower the pricing.

 People know they have a quality product or more so a few years back,

 It's the pricing of devices that is killing their sales.


Samsung for example also do less in the way of computer devices but more in the 
way of home appliances such as tv's microwave oven and normal oven devices 

Apples accessibility still in my book leads the way but Android is getting 
slowly better,

As for hardware,
Android devices can be found with better processors and ram etc,
And it's a shame that apple rely on such companys as Samsung for things like 
flash memory for their devices 

Like the release of the iPhone XS and Max 512 GB devices,

Production was delayed due to Samsung not being able to provide the 512Gig 
memory 

Samsung also now have 1TB mobile devices in the S9 galaxy and Note 9 ranges.

 And having just looked at a Note 9 a couple of days ago I can honestly say,
Apple need to look at their design of product.

The note is a very very smooth and comfortable designed device.

And appears to be all glass.
I'm not going to run from apple at this point but it's only a money thing that 
stops me updating

FYI.
Everything new in iOS 12.2: HomeKit TVs, Remote in Control Center, Apple News, 
& more
AppleInsider

 After a lengthy beta period for iOS 12.1.3, Apple has released iOS 12.2 to 
developers. There are several changes in store for this point update and 
AppleInsider walks you through what to expect.
[https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/29426-47467-iOS-122-Beta-1-l.jpg]

iOS 12.2 beta 1

The biggest news of the beta is Apple News is launching for Canadian 
users
 in both iOS 
12.2,
 as well as macOS Mojave 10.14.4. During the beta period, the content won't be 
refreshed as frequently as it will at the full launch but is available in both 
English and French.
[embedded content]

Apple launched Apple News with iOS 9 in the U.S. before rolling out to 
additional countries such as the UK and Australia.

Control Center remote

Another change in iOS 12.2 beta 1 is a redesigned remote for Apple TV when 
accessed through Control Center. It now goes full screen and has a cleaner 
interface. It can also now be accessed directly from the lock screen while 
playing content through the iPhone using AirPlay.

Inside of the Wallet app, there is a redesigned Latest Transactions section 
with new icons and groups. It makes it much quicker to see where you last used 
Apple Pay cards. When on the Apple Pay Cash card a new button is present to 
quickly add funds.

iOS Home app

HomeKit is getting support for TVs in iOS 12.2, with several being announced 
during CES 
2019
 earlier this year. The Remote app in Control Center also will now support 
these TVs. In the Home app, you can see "Allow Speaker & TV Access" which used 
to just say "Allow Speaker Access" for controlling who can play back content.
[https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/29426-47466-Safari-Glyphs-l.jpg]

iOS 12.2 Safari glyphs

In Safari, as you are typing, autocomplete suggestions have a new arrow icon to 
let you search that term.

Inside of Settings > Map there is a new category for Climate with Air Quality 
Index and Weather Condition toggles.

You can toggle off the ability for websites to access your motion and 
orientation information within Safari settings. Additionally, any website not 
using HTTPS is flagged as not secure.

We will continue to update this post with more features found in iOS 12.2 beta 
1 as they are uncovered.

Re: The End Of Apple, Forbes Magazine

Actually you can pretty much do the same on android as you can on IOS. It is 
just done differently, and you kinda have to know more to do the same.
The note is cutesy, yes, but a little too big for what i am used too...
