Re: Does anyone use Chromecast?

[Rob Bender]

Hi everyone. I hope this is the right place to ask this question since this is 
not an Apple issue. I have a question about Chromecasting to smart speakers. 
We have a number of Google Homes in our apartment and TuneIn stations drop at 
different times during the day. Just wondering if this happens using Apple 
HomePods as well.
 Brand new modem and router and we still experience this the most in the 
afternoons. Just trying to isolate if this may be a problem with ChromeCast and 
TuneIn rather than with the Google speakers specifically. If anyone has any 
ideas you can write to me privately at rbende...@gmail.com. Thanks.

Re: Does anyone use Chromecast?

[Rob Bender]

Hi Donna. Thanks for your prompt reply. We are in a high rise apartment in a 
big city so I hope it isn’t a problem with our Internet. The technician who 
installed the new equipment last week said that he adjusted the signal from the 
cable for best performance so I don’t know what else our provider would do. I 
think I may have run out of things to try and any ideas are welcome even if 
they may not seem to be related to my problem.

Re: Is Airplay fixed?

I would try changing the audio ducking feature. That seemed to make a

Re: Calibrating The iPhone Battery

[Rob Bender]

Hi Kawal and everyone. I tried this with my 5S and no VoiceOver or Siri when 
the phone restarted. I have a pass code on my phone so it looks like I will 
have to have someone enter my pass code and turn on VoiceOver for me in order 
to do anything.
 I was hoping I could do it from iTunes, but I need to respond from my phone.

Hi.  This is very helpful.  I wasn't able to get through the entire process 
when installing Mavericks.  Perhaps something is wrong with my setup but I am 
sure that everything was updated before the install.  If i can do a clem 
install, can I still restore everything from my last time machine backup?

Re: A cautionary note about Mavericks installer

Hi everyone.  If I do a clean install of Mavericks, is there an easy way to

 The upgrade to Mavericks did not work for me, since the set up process quit 
unexpectedly.

Thanks.

Fire Wire drive ports not identified in the System configuration utility

I have been running Mavericks since it's release.  I have a WD firewire  drive. 
 The utility says that I have no firewire ports.  I am still able to access my

a clean install or is there a way to get the firewire drivers back?  Thanks of 
any help in advance.

Re: KNFB Reader iPhone App

[Rob Bender]

I also bought the app after hearing the Applevis podcast and reading about the 
results from others on the list.  I had the opportunity to borrow a Nokia phone 
with the old KNFB app 4 or 5 years ago and was only ever able to get a few 
words from a page.  I was able to sit at the kitchen table and sort the mail 
just after buying the new app. It is definitely better than the old app since 
the field of view report and the tilt notification are a great help in lining 
up the camera.  I will add that I had not been able to get good results with 
the other OCR apps for the iPhone since I was horrible at lining up the camera. 
 It really seems that they did a great job on writing an app which compensates 
for blind users.
 I plan to try more documents today.

 Donna,
 I'm not Kevin but bought the app last night. On my first picture, I got 
 100 per cent accuracy of an entire credit card statement which obviously 
 has lots of numbers and weird abbreviations. I spent about a minute lining 
 the document up and then took one picture and it was perfect! I never had 
 anything close to that with Prismo, Text Grabber or Text Detective. I 
 rarely got the whole document there, whereas KNFB Reader helps you line it 
 up if you want it to.
 It also does images and pdf images, so it is definitely worth it for me. 
 I'm now sorry I wasted the money on those others, but it was all there was 
 at the time and they served their purpose. KNFB Reader is now the only OCR 
 app on my phone.
 It takes about 2 seconds from when the picture is taken to when it starts 
 reading, and I'm using an iPhone 5 at this stage.
 
 Good luck with your decision

Re: locking the mac update

 Hi all.
 A few weeks ago, i posted asking how to lock the mac.
 A simular command seams to work for me and I thought I would share it.
 It's similar to the windows+l command on windows where it locks your 
 screen and takes you to the log in window.
 It's control+shift+eject.
 Hope that is of interest to anybody.
 Thanks.

Slow response on network drive

[Rob Bender]

Hello.  I have a WD MyBook Live Duo network drive.  I have very slow response 
time when opening folders when using my MacBook Pro mid 2010 model. I have fast 
response when accessing the drive from a Windows machine or with Windows 7 
running under VMWare Fusion on my MaCBook.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I left 
the MyBook drive formatted as NTFS so it is accessible from both Windows and 
Mac.  I also have the NTFS app from Paragon so I can write to NTFS drives from 
the Mac.

Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Syncing files

[Rob Bender]

Hi everyone.  Is there an accessible program to synchronize files from a Mac to 
a NAS Drive? I have been previously using Sync Toy in Windows to sync files 
from the NAS drive to an external drive.  Is there an accessible app for the 
Mac that would let me do this and give up Windows for this task? Thanks in 
advance.

Slow start-up and log-in

[Rob Bender]

Hello.   When I boot from My Mac Book HD, it takes almost 10 minutes to get to 
the log in screen and the log in is very slow after entering my password.  I 
have a Superdooper backup which I used to restart the system, and everything 
works as it should.  I repaired the  disc and permissions on the Macbook HD and 
it still takes the same time to restart.  I haven't found anything strange in 
the login items either.
I also have several time machine backups.

I haven't restored from a time machine backup yet, because I am afraid that I 
will still have the same problems afterwards.  I have newer files on the 
MacBook HD that I want to back up before restoring from the  Superdooper backup 
which appears to work well and do not want to corrupt the backup.
There is probably something I am missing, but want to check before taking all 
the time to try various options.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Slow start-up and log-in

[Rob Bender]

Thanks for the very helpful information.  I wanted to try a few things before 
buying a $99 program to fix the disk.  I restored my drive from my Superdooper 
backup and it doesn't work better when I boot up from the internal hard drive. 
I used disk utility to erase the drive before the restore.  Does this mean that 
there is something physically wrong with the drive, or does disk utility not 
totally erase the drive?
Perhaps this means a visit to the Apple Store.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Re: Slow start-up and log-in

This was very helpful.  I was able to erase the drive and then performed the 
command you gave for Terminal.  I got a Smart status: failing message.  I guess 
it is off to Apple to get a new drive installed.

Re: Seeing AI on iPhone 5S

[Rob Bender]

Unfortunately, the bar code Channel doesn’t work on the 5S.  The product 
channel doesn’t show up. I think that the processor or camera on the 5S were 
not good enough for Microsoft to include the support for the 5S.  I don’t know 
all of the details, but it doesn’t work on my 5S. I would be interested in 
hearing how the product channel works on phones newer than the 5S since I will 
be upgrading my phone soon.

RE: question for Caitlyn re Qardio app

[Rob Bender]

We received our Qardio Arm this week. We needed to have a sighted person click 
the check boxes for us and I have reported this to Qardio. My wife and I have 
it paired with our iPhones and it seems to work well now that our accounts are 
set up. I think now, we just need to get the placement of the cuff right so we 
can send correct results to our doctor.

Hi Caitlyn (or anyone else who can answer),

I have ordered the Cardio cuff you recommended.  I am trying to set up my 
account in preparation for receiving the device today.  Setup doesn't appear to 
be accessible.  I'm entering my name, email, password, but the register button 
still remains dimmed.  There is a place where it says "I have read the terms

needs to be checked before you can register.  Were you able to set up your 
account without sighted assistance?  If yes, how did you go about it?
