that's right amazingly when it starts speaking again you have to enable
services and the voice is the compact one again. strange. before anyone on the
list does the upgrade it's best to back up either to the icloud or an incrited
back up through itunes.

Hi John

The new Apple TV isn't out yet, but I don't think BBC Listen Again is on the
current model, least I haven't seen it.

I just updated my iPad Mini through iTunes as I knew it was going to be
manic last night. It didn't take too long to update, but what took the time
for me was the messing around to coax the new Siri voice away from Alex.
She sounds ok and pretty responsive. Not sure if I will keep her or return
to Alex yet.

I have noticed that Settings now seems to be called Location Services
Settings, least that is the case on my iPad Mini. And in the App Switcher,
the contacts or People have disappeared. That's all I have noticed from my
tiny play.



Kind Regards,

Jackie Brown

hi jackie real glad you got the ipad to work. after a lot of mucking about
with the iphone going into the recovery mode eventually i got it working
but on my ipod did it over the air and much faster and smoother how do you
explain that one.

well from the email i could not read the book on the u 2 had to go down the
download route and now it's fine. be interested with your experience with
the apple tv. can you actually get bbc tv on it and itv or is it just listen
again.

Hi John

I have purchased Jonathan's book as well, and will try to find time to
read it on my U2, perhaps while hanging around at the airport. I seem
to remember doing that with iOS 8 last year! It is a very good
resource to dip into.

I have changed the Alex voice to the female Siri on my iPad Mini, but
that is about it for now as I haven't had much time to play around
with the new update. I had to reset my settings, which is a complete
pain, because the UK Siri voice wouldn't change from Alex despite
rebooting my iPad. It works now and sounds not bad so far.

I did hear of a nasty bug with iOS 9 and iPhone, where it seems to
crash when you try to answer a call, but perhaps this is rumour, or
perhaps it is only with certain models? Jonathan Mosen tweeted this
info last night, and AppleVis have mentioned it. But people's
experiences differ greatly with these things sometimes, so watch this
space!

Kind Regards,

Jackie Brown

same hear and i do really wonder what is the future for the idevices
how can they keep updating and updating. i think reading jonathan's
book there are some good things about using a braille display but i
must say like jackie says i do love the i-devices for us blind people
apple have done a real real good job. glad you got it sorted though.
my phone did go in to recovery mode but somehow i managed to get it
working again. for some strange reason every time i put itunes on it
asks me to put in my password as it says my i-cloud sesion has timeed out
real strange.

Afternoon all,

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who made suggestions as to what
I should do with my iPhone. Because nothing was happening I took
it to a store and they restored it to factory settings and then
updated it
for me.
Whilst I was in there I asked about the apple news app and was
told that it is either a regional thing or it is just available in
the states for now.

Thanks once again to you all

Janet
