Episode 56 "iOS 6 Reply with Message" & iOS6 Update

Hi Everyone,

As with most major releases (iOS 6), they are often followed by small anomalies. Couple of things to keep an eye on when updating your device. The connect to internet through Wi-Fi was a server issue (fixed). I noticed a couple of things after the update. Some of my music didn’t sync, even though it indicated that the sync was complete. Connect your iPhone/iPad, etc to your computer. Expand the list to show your music on the device. If you have any icons that look like a clock face next to the song, sync and wait for them to change to a check mark. The last anomaly that I experienced was a notification change. My phone seemed to vibrate for no reason. When I check my settings (Settings/Sounds/New Mail), “New Mail” had changed to vibrate.

If you have a new iPhone 5, after restoring from your backup, check your mail settings. We’ve seen that your email account passwords may not have transferred from the backup. Make the changes, so you don’t lock out your exchange account (Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Exchange/Account). Remember, if you lock out your account, you will have to wait 30 minutes or put in a TARC to unlock your account.

Reply with Message
Back to iOS 6. In Episode 35, I showed you how to silence your phone call, by pressing the "Sleep/Wake" button once and pressing it twice will send it to voice mail. Now you will have a couple more options.

Did you know that you can now "Reply with Message" or "Remind Me Later"? When you get a phone call, you will see a phone icon to the right of the “slide to answer” bar. Drag it up to reveal your options. Remember that you can only “Reply with Message” to other mobile users…I know…who uses land lines anymore? The “Remind Me Later” response is based on your primary contact. If you have your work address and home address, you will see those options on the list.
