[Electronics-talk] Question re. the Sirius XM App

Tue Jun 18 13:59:40 UTC 2013

Hello Rob.
It looks like you received helpful information concerning the Sirius XM app from Mr. Kolby. It seems to me that you still have one unanswered question, which concerns uninstalling an app.
If you are a VoiceOver user, the way to do this is to exit out of the app, Or just make sure you are not in it. Next, navigate, either by flicking right or left until you reach The appropriate app, or by moving your finger along the screen until you reach the app, and its name is spoken. Then, lift your finger from the screen if you used the second way to reach the app described in the last sentence. Either way you navigated, VoiceOver's focus should now be on the app that you want to uninstall, from outside the app. Now, tap the screen twice, but hold your finger down after the second tap, until you hear the word moving followed by the app name. For example, if you double tap and hold on the Skype app, VoiceOver will say "moving Skype." Lift your finger from the screen. at this point, I'm not sure if your focus is guaranteed to stay on the same app. However, if you flick around now or  touch the screen and move your finger around now, you will now find a listing of the same apps that you were able to find prior to the double tap and hold. Now, make sure VoiceOver's focus is on the appropriate app, meaning the one you want to uninstall. The following action would apply to any app, and not just the one you want to uninstall. So make sure the focus is right. Now, what you want to do is to double tap the screen. Also, if you have one finger on the appropriate app, and you hold it there and tap the screen once anywhere with the second finger, it will accomplish the same thing. Basically, voice over will now Bring up a message. In the message, it will first say delete, followed by the app name. Next, if you flick to the right or move to the right, it will Give a disclaimer concerning deletion of the app. If you go to the right again, there will be the button to confirm the deletion of the app. This is the same thing as uninstalling it. One more time to the right, and you will reach the cancel button, where you can cancel the uninstilation if you made a mistake or if you change your mind. When you are all done with these things, you should probably press the home button to Get voiceover out of the deletion process or whatever.
I hope that this is helpful. Also, if you ever desire to uninstall an app that you unfortunately purchased, you can follow all of these same Steps, but if you ever want to reinstall the app, Apple will not charge you again for it. This is pretty good. I have bought some apps which I completely regret, but I have also bought some apps which I uninstalled but then wanted to reinstall later. So it was good that I was not charged again.
