Much simpler to do the tripple click and it is then recognised that VO is what you're going to be using.

Hi,
You can also turn on VO yourself, by plugging into a computer with iTunes on 
it, going into Preferences on iTunes and Universal Access.

All the best

If the triple home click doesn't do the job and if you have no sight you
will require the assistance of someone who can see to turn VO on.  It's a
very easy thing for them to do and is done through settings/accessibility.
Voiceover is the first toggle in that list.  Once it's done you should be
off and running.  As for the apps you'll need, that really depends on what
sort of information you're after and what you want to use the device to do.

Do you not have to set voiceover up to be triggered by the triple tap? I 
had to.

Hi Adrian.

When you get your device, turn it on by pressing the power button for
about
two seconds, give it 30 seconds or so and then press the home button
rapidly
three times to turn on voice over.  That's all there is to it.  As for
Skype, Drop box and the rest, you can download all those apps from the

app

store when you've set up your Apple ID.

All the best and good luck, let us know if you have specific questions

you

want answering, also www.applevis.com is probably one of the best

websites

for you now and in to the future as it contains a wealth of material
including an app directory, podcast library, tutorials, reviews and a

user

forum.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi

Ok I have put the order in for my first I device, I will need some help
with
it, It is coming from amazon and they are not allowed to open it to
activate
voice over for me but I am sure I can get that sorted out quite easily.

Now, I have a few questions, I have been assured by amazon it is new,
therefore should be a 5th generation device. I use skype as my phone plus 


a
means to contact people so I am sure there will be ways for me to use
skype,
also facebook and I use dropbox to share files between devices. What

other

useful apps would I need once I get going? I have seen several people
using
I devices and some have even let me try it for myself and I think it'll

be

much easier for me than an android device, I have tried the hudl from
tesco
but couldn't get the hang of that. I have also ordered a keyboard and
case,
they are all coming in the same delivery.


I know there are several groups for I devices, what is the best one for

me

to get help if I need it? It will take me a while to learn but I feel I
need
to do it now, otherwise I will struggle later on. Watch this space.
Lastly,
are there any useful tutorials? I know there is a guide system on the

ipad

so that is one of the main reasons I went for it.

Regards

Adrien
