    Geezer Dinosaur Needs Help!

    I don't own and don't want a Smart Phone. I do; however, value my IPod Touch 5 a great deal. I am trying to sign onto AR via the IPod and wireless, but no go. The sign in button appears so briefly that most times I can't even hit it before it disappears. When I can hit it, it seems to not work. The screen won't let me resize it to see the entire home page. Mostly, I just get to see ads inviting me to join AR and those links don't work, either.

    I'm about about to solve the problem using a bigger hammer. lol

    Any ideas?

    That's way over my paygrade...🙈 I agree... when you're not sure a bigger hammer might work.🔨

        jgg85234 Nah, MUCH further south, much less populated, and higher (cooler)---Sierra Vista. The forgotten part of AZ, well, along with Yuma and Gila Bend.

        I was planning to buy a property and retire down to Arizona Sky Village. Didn't have the money when it started (was starting a new business), and the 85 lots got sold very quickly. Now, the prices are astronomical

        jgg85234 The Portal area is a beautiful place, tho a bit inconvenient in terms of local services. SV has quite an active group of astronomers.

      I have accessed th' Pit since I joined with my iPud Touch 5, while away from home. (Read at work).
      I logged in once, selected to remain logged in. If yer able to get in once, do this, an have no more hassles.
      Best of luck!!!!

        Yep. Get in once and you're fine. It's that first time that's the killer!

        Willy, th' lil' iPud has summat of a delay when ya poke th' webpage buttons, due to limited processor power, added to by wifi lag. I frequently poke a button, nuthin' happens, poke it again, then it catches up, opens n' closes what I was tryin' to do in a flash... TBC...

        Recommend poke button once, wait, wait, maybe ya get that first login box. I've had to carry one for work for several years, still cuss it at times. Great machine, but limitations do exist. Hope this is helpful...

      This was the wrong day to ask that question. I got a new Iphone about a month ago. Over the weekend I went to settings and found that restrictions were on and there was one failed log on attempt. Nobody had touched the phone but me. I didn't even know what restrictions were. So I called Apple and they had me reset the phone and everything was lost but photos. I DO back up to the cloud. I called them back. Got contacts back but not my messages. I Googled it and was able to restore the phone to last night from the Cloud all on my own. Everything was back but the restriction button was enabled again. I called Apple back. They said somebody must have set it on the phone. Nope. I'm the only one with the passcode and thumbprint. They said I have one of two choices - wipe everything out to give me full access or live with it. ARGHHH! I love AR but I don't use my phone for it much because it is not phone friendly to an old guy (or someone like me with oversized fingers). Luckily, I have an I-Pad and a MacBook with a wide internet range these days. Had you posted this yesterday, I would have said "come on Willy, get with the program." Based on today's experience I am in the "Heck with phone/touch technology" mode.

        The Ipod touch screen is surely flaky too (yep--fat fingers) and "voice control" often pops up out of nowhere. It used to be Siri that did that, but turning off Siri activates VC which can't be turned off. Nonetheless, I should "get with the program", but can't muster the enthusiasm. lol

      My surface pro does the same thing with drop down menus. Im not a apple guy but if you can zoom in on the sign in button try instead of tapping it try holding it down and see if the sign in appears, if it does tap it when it appears you may need to keep your finger on the first tab at the same time, if i remember right this is how i got mine working

        Thanks - I'm going to try that. In trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone I had to dive deep into the General and Settings area. I saw a zoom feature. I will try using it. Much appreciated.
