Hi, You’ve asked a very good question. I’ve just been trying to do the same, and try as I might, I can’t find a way to do this. Sorry can’t help. Maybe it needs to be mentioned to the accessibility team at Apple. Andrew > On Feb 21, 2018, at 1:19 AM, Janine Smith wrote: > > Hi everyone >

Hi, Thank you. Yes, it is highly inconvenient so hoping it podcast playback comes to the watch in the future. So for now at least, I will just have to use my phone for podcast. Alex, have you also found that music playback is also fairly limited on the watch? I am a apple music subscriber, but

I have used vi on Macintosh with Terminal and VO. I am pretty sure that the VI on Mac is just a link to VIM. There was a little weirdness with cursor positioning, but I could certainly get things done. That being said, I used VI with screen enlargement software in non curses mode when I started

Hi, Connect it via USB to your Mac and leave it connected for about 10 minutes before going into iTunes. After the wait, open iTunes and see if the iPad is visible through iTunes. If not, make sure that the cables you're using do properly work. Even though they are Apple cables, they can fai

Can anyone provide some assistance on Google Sheets or any resources?

Hi all, I’m using Google Sheets more and more for work and although I have a strong enough understanding, I’m still running into a few snags. I think a lot of it is that I’m missing some basic shortcuts. The most frustrating issue right now is when editing a sheet with multiple rows selected,
