I like having my work and Gmail accounts in one inbox. I would love to use default but push doesn't work anymore, and the gmail app doesn't do unified inbox. Outlook works pretty well.

I'm thinking I'll need a separate app for this: Is there a way for me to set my geofenced reminders to never go away? The default Reminders app works great, but I have to dismiss the notification every time (which takes a few clicks if I'm on the home screen), and if I complete it by accident, I have to manually go in and un-complete it (which, in some cases, I've forgotten to do for days at a time). I just don't want the "completed" feature for the location reminders.

Hm; new Outlook update at least uses the System font for everything save messages that had a different font specified (unfortunately, this means messages composed in desktop Outlook still tend to come through in Times New Roman). Still, overall, looks a lot nicer.

Anyone got any thoughts about why my wife can't download Dark Sky without paying for it? I have it and paid for and we have homesharing or whatever. She can see all the other apps I downloaded but Dark Sky is not in the list. She has to see it in the normal App Store app and it says 3.99

I don't know if this has been mentioned (if it has I missed it), but it looks like major iOS update is imminent for the AppleTV (or hardware update or both). I just updated Alto's Adventure on my iPhone the release notes had this (it's also on the iTunes page now):quote:**This update contains important changes to iCloud to ensure your progress can be synced to Alto's Adventure for Apple TV** EDIT: NVM. Old news is old. New appleTV was released earlier in the week and it no longer used iOS (per Apple store) it now runs tvOS. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Oct 30, 2015 |

I'm using a 5th Gen iPod Touch iOS 9 in a Batman Gauntlet for my Halloween costume this year. I've got a video of a screensaver to simulate the computer he's got on his wrist. Are there any video playing apps that can loop the video and keep the screen in landscape? I've found some workarounds with stock iOS: use iTunes to mark the video as a music video, then I get a loop option, but sometimes the screen flashes white between looping which is annoying. For locking to Landscape there's an option in Assistive Touch that does that but leaves the Assistive button there all the time and is an annoying workaround. I've even jailbroken it, but the Cydia apps/tweaks that promise to do these things aren't working, maybe they don't support iPods...no idea.

Does Picky have shuffling by albums? (that is, play an entire album, then randomly select a different album and repeat) This would pretty much make or break it for me and I'm cheap enough that I don't want to spend $3 to find out.

fordan posted:https://www.acompli.com/security/ seems to say their servers are still in the middle of any transactions. Here's a block of words from the last time people freaked out about this: Passwords and security Outlook uses Oauth for the accounts that support it (Outlook.com, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Gmail). For those not familiar, this provides us a way to access those cloud services without ever touching your password. For accounts that don’t support Oauth (Exchange ActiveSync, Yahoo, iCloud), we handle this differently. When a user logs into Exchange and Office 365, we encrypt their password with a unique key that is specific to that user’s device and stored securely on it. The encrypted password is then passed along to Outlook’s cloud service and used to connect the accounts. The device must check in with the cloud service periodically in order to maintain continuous delivery of new messages and updates from Exchange or Office 365. If there is a period of prolonged device inactivity, Outlook’s cloud service will flush the password and lose access until the next device sync. This architecture means that in order to gain access to your password, you would have to have access to both our cloud service and have physical access to the unlocked device. This applies to both us as well as anyone who would attempt to gain access from the outside. As we continue to innovate on both our app and our service we will leverage alternative mechanisms such as OAuth as soon as they are available. Data storage As mentioned above, we store a subset of email, calendar information and files in a cloud service to facilitate fast, secure delivery down to the device. Because the app is based on Microsoft's recent acquisition of Acompli, today that cloud service runs on Amazon Web Services. We are making great progress in moving to Azure and integrating with the full Office 365 cloud fabric. We plan to have that move completed later this year, which will enable it to be covered by the Office 365 Trust Center. The information in Outlook cloud service is currently stored in the United States. As we move from our current platform to Azure, we will align to the principles of the Office 365 Trust Center with a regionalized data center strategy. In Office 365 a customer’s country or region, which the customer’s administrator inputs during the initial setup of the services, determines the primary storage location for that customer’s data.

In the apple news app is there a way to stop articles from a specific publication from showing up? I can only see a way to add a publication / topic and I'd like to tell it to stop showing me shite from the Daily Mail completely.

If you go to "Favorites" and hit "Edit" in the upper right, the sources will have "X" on them to remove. I just tested it.

I think what Helith is saying is that they didn't add Daily Mail to their favorites list but it's showing up anyway? I might be wrong. Either way, is there any way to block certain topics from showing up? I have absolutely zero interest in sports and yet I keep getting baseball poo poo for some reason. Unrelated question: For some reason, handoffs has recently stopped working for me. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? It was really great up until maybe yesterday and then out of the blue just stopped. dik-dik fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Nov 2, 2015 |

If there is a period of prolonged device inactivity, Outlook’s cloud service will flush the password and lose access until the next device sync. The second paragraph seems to minimize the issue more than is warranted; based on the previous paragraph an attacker would only need to compromise MS/Acompli's servers when you're using or have recently used the service to potentially compromise your email account. So if you don't actually use the service much you're safe, and if you do use the service the risk depends on how much you use it and how quickly MS/Acompli notices when they're compromised. I'm not saying it's a terrible thing; I'd probably use it for my personal email since that's already handled by a 3rd party. I just don't think MS/Acompli points out the risks clearly and people generally think it works just like the main Mail app when there's a lot of stuff happening in the middle.

It's a newspaper I despise and the news app algorithm is throwing up a few articles from it because it is one of the available publications in Australia even though it's not favourited. I'd like to know if there's a way to remove it from the app, a way to say 'never show me articles from this again'.
