I was just going to go on and rant some more because it used to be that when I said “Open General Settings” SIRI would say something like “Sorry Sieghard, I can’t do that”. Of course I can say Accessibility Settings, Voiceover Settings, Sound Settings, WiFi Settings, SIRI Settings and all sorts of other things, but General Settings never used to work. Now I thought before I send this message I better try it to write down what SIRI says and to my surprise now General Settings opens although interestingly enough SIRI still started saying “Sorry Sieghard” and then it stopped and Settings > General opened. I repeated it and SIRI said “Oh, Oh” just as if she was about to say “Oh Oh, I can’t do that” but then again General Settings opened. I should add to this that I am running the public beta of iOS 12.1 which will probably be out in a week or so, I would be curious to hear what others experience when they say “General Settings” or “Open General Settings”.

If you do, I will be very curious how that transfer works for you, since my second language keyboard is no where and evidence, although it is said to be so into settings. That switch were you switch from one keyboard to another while in it and it is simply not there.

I gave her access to my laptop and also gave her access to my phone camera and we tried very hard to get the setup of the new iPhone going, but we failed.

I am not sure what the problem is! Cris, I don't know if this will help, but this is what we did with our ipad when we didn't have anyone hear to get the ipad going. When we got our ipad about a year ago I tripple tapped the home button on the ipad and it began talking. I don't know if this will work with the phone, and if nothing else as worked yet, maybe you could give it a try. Another thought, you might want to install itunes on your computer, if you don't already have it installed, hook your phone up to your computer and see what you could do to get your phone going. You probably have a solution by now with listers that have responded to you, but I hope you could find a solution soon, and let us know how you like your new phone. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cris Ali <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 26, 2018 7:51 PM Subject: Unable to do anything with my iPhone. I am not sure what the problem is! Hi folks, I bought a new iPhone XR and I can’t set it up. First I tried the quick start as suggested by apple by putting it next to my old phone, , and it did not work. I then tried to set it up using the iTunes to no avail. Now I am stuck. I can’t even get it to go into recovery mode to wipe it clean. What do you suggest I do? When I do the command for recovery mode, I get a message on iTunes telling me that iTunes cannot connect to the iPhone until I enter a passcode. Try again or cancel. I never had a problem like this with apple products. Could it be that my phone is defective or is there something wrong with the new iPhone compatibility with the iTunes? Any ideas will be appreciated. Regards, Cris -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
