The meeting received the apologies of a number of regular members who were
attending the AGM of the Irish Guide Dogs.
The latest IOS 16 update has raised quite a few alarms in non-visual users.
Some Fb-Exchange members have updated and report no problems as yet. However,
other users have reported severe issues that make one cautious about updating
for the moment.
Martin is just back from a successful outing in Cobh where he attended the
annual meeting of the Siúil walking group. He reported on his problem with
Microsoft Word in which he finds that pressing the home key jumps back off
the current line of text and cannot be found easily. Since the Home key is
meant to jump back to the last carriage return entered, Martin agreed that it
may be that the sentence is quite long and has wrapped around a couple of
lines. That would mean that the previous carriage return is not on the
current line but back one or two lines of text.
Joanne was having difficulty connecting her audio into Zoom with her iPhone.'
Ken came to the rescue and took her through the procedure step by step.
With the Zoom app open he asked Joanne to sign in to Zoom. This meant going
through the Sign Up procedure. Joanne chose to sign up using her Apple Id.
She did not remember the Apple password and found that she could complete
the registration by placing her thumb on the home button.
After signing in to Zoom, Ken guided her through: more> settings >
Meetings>audio. Here she needed to turn on "Auto connect audio" and "WIFI or
Cellular Data". Joanne was delighted to have her connection established at
last!
Next, Joanne's user name needed to be changed.
This involved reopening "More" to access her profile. Then double tapping on
her email address.
This opens the rename dialog. The user can enter the name they wish to show
to other attendees at the Zoom meeting.
Alexa became an active member of the club, giving authoritative definitions
of connections and the use of "Airplane mode" among other useful items.
Both Martin and Cearbhall have undertaken to find out how Airplane Mode can
be managed in flight over the next few weeks.
Dominique is unable to text messages from her Apple watch but is about to
purchase a new model and hopes that that will resolve her difficulties.
Cearbhall was surprised to receive a phone call during the meeting even
though his iPhone was set to "Do not disturb". Ken and Stuart tested various
options and found that "Do not disturb" blocked an initial call but a
repeated call immediately following the first was allowed to come through.
The subsequent discussion failed to find all the answers so here is a link
that might be able to help:

Ken asked Stuart how to bring music into a recorded video. Stuart was sure
that he had used iMovie to do this but needed to research the best method
before he could give a clear explanation. He offered to bring the result to
the next meeting.
the meeting ended.
All the best,
Cearbhall
