I have tried every single password I use. the only option I can see is to backup through the iCloud athen restore the phone as a new device and reinstall the backup from iCloud. has anyone done this? Also I notice CNet has a download for cracking the password. has anyone used this software and which one is accessible?

Hi all. As some of you know by now I finally got that first iPhone for which I had been patiently waiting since a little before Christmas. Well on Saturday morning, the day before Easter, my father asked me during breakfast if I wanted to go to one of the AT&T stores in our area to look at iPhones. I agreed to do this, so we finished breakfast and I got my things together, and he got his things together. Then we drove to the store and were immediately greeted by a friendly employee. We told him exactly what we were after, so he motioned for us to come with him and take a look.

hi all has anyone else noted that when typing on the qwerty keyboard the airpods shout each letter out and other voiceover prompts, are of a normal volume? also, for the price, i would have expected the airpods to know which device they are connected to between my iphone and ipad, without me having to tell it each time. i really enjoy the freedom of these though just seem like small niggles. i use ios 10 on my iphone, and ios 11 on the ipad mini 4.

So, I have had the 2021 Apple TV 4K for a few days now and wanted to share a few initial thoughts and impressions.
First, I know many people are curious about the new remote. As reported in the media, it is a bit thicker and longer than the previous remote. Not a lot thicker, just a little bit. It does feel a bit more substantial in your hand, but as it is still slippery, I can see it easily sliding between the couch cushions. I'm a little disappointed the Find My feature wasn't incorporated.

Hi. Can anyone tell me whether the whole to insert the sim ejection tool is to the left or the right of the sim tray on the IPhone 6S. I'm guessing this will be the same on the IPhone 6 so if anyone can help please. I'm trying to insert the nano sim by feel which isn't easy and I don't want to scratch my shiny new phone. It's possible to feel to marks, one on each side of the tray so not quite sure.

Hi all. I bought a 9V battery to use with my recently purchased, StandScan pro. Unfortunately no matter what I did I couldn't get the lights to come on. Have I forgotten how to install a battery? Lol. If you can help I'd appreciate it. The on thing I don't see in this, is that little whire you clipped onto the prongs of the battery itself. Any advice would be fantastic. Thank you.

So I thought I would start a bit of an interesting conversation. Does anyone on this form actually know how to install a screen protector on an iPhone yourself? If you do, how do you apply them successfully? From what I understand, the new screen protectors that are being designed with the latest iPhone having an alignment tray. So I am wondering what is the best way to do it? If you do not install them yourself, do you typically have somebody installed them at say a cell phone store for you?

I just ran across this interesting post about Bluetooth latency which compares the AirPods Pro with previous generations:

https://stephencoyle.net/airpods-pro

The numbers clearly show that Apple has managed to improve latency with each generation of AirPods and that their performance is significantly better than typical Bluetooth headsets. This is the first time I've seen actual latency measurements, something most people ignore when reviewing these devices.

Hi. I noticed something cool the other day. I have my Airpods connected to my Mac and also my phone. I was sitting with the case and I flipped it open. My Mac was asleep, and I had an app open on my phone watching tv. When the case opened, I got an alert from my phone, with the charging status of the airpods as well as the case. I thought it was neat.

Hi All!

I was referred to this amazing site by one of your members Justin (drummer0608)

I myself am not blind, but I have invented a product that blind iOS users like Justin are getting really excited about. He urged that I share here.

Hello. Has anyone ever heard of something called Invisible Phone Guard? If so, have you used it? How does it work for you? Also, I hear you have to wet the film and then put it on the phone. Does this ruin the phone? Thanks.

Hello everyone who cares about the MFi hearing aid topic:
I understand that iOS 13.1.1 which is a primarily security related software update has introduced significant issues for MFi hearing aids. In speaking with my audiologist she informs me that Starkey reports their Thrive app crashes on iOS 13.1.1, and connectivity to the aids for streaming is unstable. She also tells me some manufacturers, including Phonak, have lost connectivity altogether.

Hello, I have been trying to use my bluetooth keyboard with voice over and it works fine for typing and editing, but when I am trying to use the keyboard shortcuts many of them do not work. Is this a bug, like a major problem or have all of them changed? I have not seen a new keyboard shortcut list in directions and I have searched Apple and the web and accessibility websites for instructions but not have found any. Does anyone have experience with the bluetooth keyboard and voice over or can you point me in the right direction? Thanks,

I encourntered this issue when I upgraded to iOS 9.2.
Whenever I have to restart voiceover, my bluetooth keyboard stops working. It would work every once in a while and stop as soon as I restart VO again.

The issue is only when voiceover is on. M Currently, when VO is turned on, the keyboard is on and only works while using navigation. WHen I am in a text field, the letter keys do not work. I make sure quick nav is off while typing and this still occurs.
When I turn off voiceover, I can type in the text field and when I turn on VO all the text shows up.

I own an iPhone Six plus and thus far, had no issues with the phone up until the latest iOS update. I applied the latest version of iOS last week and since then, I have noticed that my battery is draining more quickly. Previously, with normal use, I find the battery power to be around 40 percent by evening time. Now it is giving me the low battery warning badge around the same time. I do not have any explanations for this.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

hello, I am wondering if anyone has tried or knows of a good stand-like tripod mount for an iPhone 4 or 4s, that lets you hold the camera still, horizontally so it could be used to take perfectly level stilled photos for things such as OCR applications I wonder if this would help with better recognition results with apps like text detective. what do you guys all think, please feel free to comment.

Hi,
I was just reading about wireless MIDI for IOS, especially the Yamaha md-bt01, which prompted this question. Does anyone have any recommendations for either wireless or other MIDI or audio connections for IOS? I was considering getting the Yamaha Mobile Sequencer for my iPhone 5S, and using my Yamaha P95 digital piano to send notes into my phone.

I also have lots of questions about doing such things as storing music data on possibly iCloud, DropBox, or somewhere outside my phone to keep the internal memory free. I'm unsure what o ask, however.

Thanks.
