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

Tue Jun 18 14:18:10 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.
In reality, you may find this process simple once you get the hang of 
it. But you can also delete an app from your phone by deleting it from 
iTunes on your computer, and then syncing with your iPhone again. That 
is if you use a computer with iTunes.
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.
