This guide was submitted when Garageband's interface was still based on iOS 7/8/9's iCloud Drive app, when the Files app never existed, and you had to have your files saved in iTunes File Sharing to access them.
This is no longer the case, so I've updated the guide based on its new interface.
Start of the Guide
In this guide, I'll be explaining the process of making ringtones using the GarageBand app.
No computer is necessary, and it can completely be done by only using 2GB, meaning GarageBand's estimated size.
I read about this somewhere and thought it was useful.
I am not a big fan of the (number of bars) method of reporting signal strength.
They are so generalized as to be not vary useful.
So I went hunting and found a note about getting signal strength in DBM instead.
There is a field test app hidden on the phone and it will change your signal report to DBM.
I went looking for this info mainly because I was testing a cell repeater kit for improving coverage inside a building.
Making the change to DBM over bars helped.
Anything better than minus 75 seems to be great.
I can make calls at minus 95 b
The following guide has been inspired by this episode of the Apfel-Fleger Podcast, a podcast in German for blind users of Apple products. All credit goes to Jürgen Fleger and his friend for discovering and presenting this little trick.
In some iOS apps, with VoiceOver enabled, tapping the top of the screen with four fingers does not move to the top of lists. In these situations, it seems necessary to repeatedly flick to the left until the first item has been reached. Examples of this behavior can be found in Apple's new iOS 9 News app and the Voice Mail section of the built-in Phone app.
VoiceOver tells us the solution may be found in the status bar at the top of the screen. Follow these steps in an app that does not correctly scroll to the top of lists:
Starting in iOS 10, a new way exists through the actions rotor to move apps around your various home screens. While the old method is still available, the new way of accomplishing this task seems to be preferred by many. In iOS 11, it then became possible to drag multiple apps at the same time. The below process was written for iOS version 12.1, and if the instructions do not work as outlined below, chances are good you are not running that version of iOS.
Sometimes, the dock is just so small, but you have so many apps that are essential, and you'd rather not go sifting through your pages looking for that app when you need it. With this cool trick, you can fit more than 4 apps in your dock, just by using folders. Here's how.
Quick Notes
I previously wrote this guide to demonstrate this process, but since then it has been very out of date. Therefore, I've updated the guide accordingly and I've split it into two separate sections.
In this guide, I will show you how to add music to an IPhone through ITunes on windows pc.
1. Add the music to the ITunes library. To do this, press ctrl+o and navigate to the location where you keep your music and then select the songs that you want to add.
2. close ITunes because then it opens automatically and detects your Iphone correctly.
3.. Plug in your IPhone.
First, check to see if the version you want to downgrade to is still being signed. Google should do the trick or else idownloadblog.com always posts when an ios version has stopped being signed. Second, go to ipsw.me and download the version you want to downgrade to and download it. Idownloadblog.com also has a downloads page where you can find ios versions. Third, go to your downloads folder and open the file you just downloaded. It should open in itunes. If not, use open in.

4. sign into your outlook.com account
5. go to options, then more mail options
6. add your gmail account as a send account

If you want a quick way to time something and you do not care about it being perfectly accurate but you do not want to have to go in to the clock app and set a timer, alarm or stopwatch, just single finger single tap on or swipe to the part of the statice bar that says the time. VoiceOver will say the time every minute. Note that because the iOS clock does not do seconds, when you first start timing, you will not know what second of the minute you are starting timing at, but after that you will get full minutes.
This guide assumes that you have already received an invitation to AO3, and created your account. These steps will most likely be most easily followed using an ipad and bluetooth keyboard, but should also be doable on any mobile device with voiceover.
Before writing this guide, I had searched the Applevis site about this topic. According to the threads I have read, some people are having difficulties making this feature work.
This guide will not make your raise to record feature work consistently because to tell you guys honestly, that feature is a hit and miss, more often the latter. So without further ado, here are the steps.
Note: This tip only works on the Messages app, so if you are trying to do this on the quick reply view, this is not going to work.
Throughout this document, the term 'iDevice' is used to refer to a portable Apple device with a touch screen. This includes the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad product lines. When a specific device is mentioned, it is intentional. For instance, all iDevices have wifi, but only the iPhone and cellular-enabled iPad can access cellular networks. This is not an official term, but rather one adopted by the author for the sake of clarity.
The VoiceOver rotor is perhaps the most difficult aspect of VoiceOver to get used to because it is not a concept used in other screen readers. It is basically a way to use the same two gestures--an up and down swipe with one finger--to perform multiple tasks. That is, an up or down swipe will do the action set in the rotor, and the rotor can be set at any point.
To complete this process, you must have agreed to the BARD Service agreement, and be signed in to a BARD account. This will not work for people who do not have accounts with the national Library Service for the Blind and Physically handicapped . For more info on whether you qualify, and to apply if you do, see the BARD Main Page
Creating Shortcuts
A Narrative Guide for the Befuddled Beginner
iOS 12 introduced shortcuts: a way for you to combine a set of steps to accomplish a task. People who program would call this a script. In fact an app or software program is nothing more than a very sophisticated set of steps designed to accomplish a task.
If you ever wanted to learn programming, you can start right now to create shortcuts.
VoiceOver, a feature Apple has built into all iOS devices to enable Braille and speech access for users who are unable to see the screen, has revolutionized the lives of countless thousands of blind people around the world. It works best when apps are deliberately developed in ways that ensure compatibility with VoiceOver, blind people are considered during development and included in all facets of the testing process.
For the most part, you can both answer and end a phone or FaceTime call with one gesture: the two-finger double tap, also known as the "magic tap". Tap two fingers on the screen, then tap them again quickly. When you are receiving a call, this gesture will answer; when you are in a call, this gesture will end it. When ending a call, though, please note that you must remove the phone from your ear if you're talking on it that way. When an iPhone is held to your ear, its touch screen is deactivated.
