I am not a braille user, but there are definitely some bluetooth keyboard
issues which are not pretty. If you rely on a bluetooth keyboard heavily I
would wait just a bit to see what happens.

Hi. :)

 

I missed that part. I don't always read descriptions as thoroughly as i
should. I am as guilty as the next guy of skipping over them, or only
hearing small parts of them.

 

I keep hearing rumors that if we use bluetooth keyboards, we shoulnt'd
upate, but I don't know if that applies to Refreshable Braille displays. I
suppose you, or no one else really, can say.

Hi Jane,

 

I don't think the "Supports only iOS 7" means that it won't support iOS 8,
but rather that it won't work on anything before iOS7. There are some apps
which are like that now and over time more of them will not support iOS
versions before iOS 7. If you read the entire description, here is what it
says at the very end:

 

Compatibility:

Requires iOS 7.0 or later.

Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for
iPhone 5.

 

Having said that, maybe hold off just a bit before installing iOS 8, doing
it on the first or second day of the release is probably a bad idea anyways
since hundreds of millions of people around the world will try to upgrade
and Apple's servers will be totally bogged down. Also you might want to wait
until the first wave of feedback comes in.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Subject: Knitting Apps Re: Installing IOS 8 over 7

 

Its called Knit. I use it to keep track of projects. You put in a project
name, you add the number of rows for the project. You can even add the
number of stitches per row, if you want to keep that close track. Here's the
iTunes store link:

 

 
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/knit-knitting-counter-for-ios/id473675243?m
t=8>
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/knit-knitting-counter-for-ios/id473675243?mt
=8

 

some of it is labeled really well. For instance, you can pick the right kind
of picture to put for each project because they are clearly and correctly
labeled. I know this because I had my sighted child check. She is a
knitting/crocheting fan like I am, and this is her favorite.

 

Some of it, like the button you hit to add rows when you complete it, are
not so well labeled. You will probably want to re-label the "iPad plus off"
button to something easier to remember. LOL!

 

There's also Counter+ but I haven't figured out how that works so well. Here
is the iTunes store link:

 

 <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/counter-+/id478557426?mt=8>
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/counter-+/id478557426?mt=8

Hi, Ron.

 

I guess I will have to hold off, then. I just found the neatest knitting
app, but it only works under IOS7 and I don't know if they will re-release
it. I hate having to choose between updating and losing apps. On the other
hand, I promised someone I would update to see if a certain language was
supported. *shakes head*

Jane,

 

If we go with the past,chances are that you won't be able to downgrade
unless Apple offers that possibility but, its not a guarantee they will.

How do you save an earlier version? I mean, the version I am currently
running? What if I need to downgrade?

If the past is any indication, you just install the update. Your settings
and data stay put, and the only change is the new iOS version. Of course,
you should always do a full backup before any update, just in case something
goes wrong, but most times nothing bad happens. No one has yet updated to
iOS8,obviously, but I see no reason it won't be like the last few major
releases.

Dear List, when you install a whole new version of IOS are your settings and
data preserved or do you have to start from scratch or from a back up.  .
Does it work like minor updates, where you just start the update, the phone
restarts and then comes up talking when it's done?

Many Thanks, Lee
