Hello:
One of my colleagues is looking to connect a PayPal card reader to his iPhone using the lightning port. The problem, whenever this connection is made, Voiceover thinks a headphone is connected and goes silent. We've tried pairing the phone with a bluetooth speaker, but can't seem to get VO output to go through the speaker. How can we get Voiceover output to go to either the phones speaker or to the bluetooth speaker when the card reader is connected?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I had some devices, but not a MacBook yet. I am going to get one, but I would like to read your experiences with your Macs especially, but also about your Windows Laptops.

Hello, everyone. I find myself doing something I never thought I would. Due to my lightning EarPods breaking, and to me having to replace them at least once a year, I am now contemplating buying AirPods. I never really wanted to have to leave my Bluetooth on, but if it means not having my wires breaking on me? You bet I'm up for it! I have never owned a Bluetooth set of earbuds, but the fact that I like how EarPods fit me and how simple the pairing process for the AirPods is, I figure I'd love them.

Hi all,
firstly I hope everybodies well?
Secondly I have a Amazon fire stick but due to not being able to access apps except netflix and disney plus I am looking into apple tv.
Now I have an iphone but can only do swipe left/right up and down plus doubble tap the rest of the time I need to use my Orbit reader 20 Braille display. So my first question is does the new apple tv remote rely on any other gestures such as using four finger gestures.

Appreciate hearing pros & cons on a Mac desktop. Not a studio. Iā€™d like to use excel or Office if the app is accessible or by using a Virtual - VM. Not sure if I have that right. I am a voice over user; once upon a time ms Office /jaws user, now retired. I like my i pad & i phone; our adult children track us in Mexico via FaceTime, email & messaging, so no switching from Apple.I need to keep up on some financial/budgeting items and I miss doing extreme sudoku which are saved somewhere in i cloud. This Mac will also be used by sighted hubby.

Good evening all. I am considering buying a new macbook, mainly for writing and office purposes. I must admit that new macbook or macbook pro have some features I do not like, (the new keyboard sistem feels a bit weird, any usb ports included), so, I am considering a macbook air. But, in your opinion, is it too much outdated? Has anyone tried to install a virtual windows machine on an macbook air, and is it powerful enought to use it? And last but not least, must I go for the i5 or i7 procesor? Does voiceover response better with an i7? ANY opinion would be welcome!

Hello Applevis peeps,
I am looking for a viable replacement option for my Mid 2011 MacBook Air.
Even though it still works fine for me, I have had it for 5 years and know it will eventually need to be replaced.
I am considering getting an iPad Pro because it is cheaper than the Air, and from what I understand I can do a lot of the same things on the Air that can be done on the iPad Pro.

Hi, considering converting to a MacBook air from my current laptop. Never used a Mac before so just looking for any useful help/guidance for a complete Mac novice.

I've read some of the guides on here which are great, but my first real question is, is it possible to set up a mac from fresh with voiceover, or will I need some sighted assistance? Thanks in advance for any replies to this post

I would like to know, how can i keep it to a near 0 value. Please help as it is a very big drain on the battery.

Looking for a converter for male 30 pin from a Panasonic music centre SC-HC27DB with iPod dock to connect to my iPhone 12 so I can play my Apple Music through the speakers.

The music centre is male connection and needs to be male connector to connect to my iPhone.

Any help much appreciated.

As part of today's announcement of the new iPhone 12 range, the iPhone 12 Pro models are set to include LIDAR.

This is a function that detects light reflected off objects in the environment and is designed to improve augmented reality by tracking movement and improve camera focus.

My question is, could this be a bit of technology that massively improves life for us VI and Blind iPhone users?

Hi, I want to create better quality podcasts. I have a small desk so what could I get that will either hook into a windows computer or what iPhone app could I get that would make excellent podcasts and pick up the speech of the phone and make it sound clear? I would also redo the current podcast I have up there if I could get it to sound better. I want to provide high quality podcasts for the community.

I'm honestly curious of those who have physical buttons still on their devices, phones mostly. forget the cost of a device, forget the idea you can switch to another operating system. What will those die hard fans of the home buttons, probably the volume buttons eventually and even the power button, what will you do? When everyone hated the headphone jack going away, I saw it as ok, one less port to get dirt or water in. When the home button went away my use case is the same.
