Change the Simulated Device and OS Version. Simulator provides the ability to simulate many different combinations of device type and OS version. A device type is a model of iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Some iPhone devices can also have a paired Apple Watch. Each device-OS combination has its own simulation environment with its own settings and apps.

We have confirmed that certain Mac models exhibit symptoms such as recording or playback not working properly. We are currently investigating this issue.

We recently reviewed the Jabra Speak 710 (read our review here), and think it is one of the best accessories for making your iPhone into a true conference or high quality speaker phone. But in today's world of Open Plan office layouts and work-from-home arrangements, people have an increasing need to conduct more private telephone conversations. For that, you should consider the Jabra Evolve 75 wireless headset.

Jabra Evolve 75 Unboxing

We have all heard that you can't judge a book by its cover and that seems to hold true for many of the Jabra products we have reviewed. From the outside, the rather plain brown cardboard box our Jabra Evolve 75 came packed in would imply this is a low end headset. But spend a few minutes with the Jabra Evolve 75 and you'll find the exact opposite.

In the box is the Evolve 75 headset, tucked neatly into its custom protective case. Also in the case is a USB cord, used to charge the headset and the Jabra Link 370 USB Bluetooth® adapter. Our Jabra Evolve 75 also included the optional desktop charging stand.

The headset is an on-the-ear style but has ample cushioning. The headset measures 6.9 x 8.1 x 2 inches and weighs in at a mere 6.2 oz. which allows for long wearing time without becoming uncomfortable. The optional charging stand measures 4.3 x 5.6 x 3.8 inches and would be a nice compliment on any desktop.

The days before mac os. The internal rechargeable battery can be fully charged in about 3 hours and is rated for 15 hours of talk time and up to 30 hours of standby time.

Keep in mind that this is not just a listening device but is intended to be used first and foremost for telephone conversations and the integrated medium-length, noise cancelling, unidirectional ECM microphone is mounted on the right earpiece but swings up out of the way when not in use.

Jabra Evolve 75 Setup

Like the Jabra Speak 710, there was practically no effort required to get the Evolve 75 up and running.

To connect the Jabra Evolve 75 to an iPhone 7, you slide and hold the On/Off/Sync Bluetooth switch to the sync position for 3 seconds. Voice guided instructions will walk you through the pairing instructions.

We found it a little awkward to locate and hold the sync switch while wearing the headset. It took us a couple of tries before we finally got it but once we did, the pairing process was quick and easy.

Pairing to our MacBook Pro was just as easy using the included Jabra USB Bluetooth adapter.

Jabra Evolve 75 Controls

The controls for the Jabra Evolve 75 take a little getting used to but after a couple of times using it, they should become almost second nature.

Most of the controls are on the right earpiece. The center of the outer surface is a button that you press to answer and end calls and you can push the larger surface on the top or bottom to raise or lower the volume respectively.

Along the bottom edge you will find the On/Off/Sync switch, the Bluetooth LED indicator and the mini USB port to connect the USB charging cable. The same port is used to mount the headset on the charging stand. Finally, on the top of the right ear cup is a mute button.

The left side contains a button to turn on the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and the ANC LED indicator.

Similar to the right side button used to answer and end calls, the left side has a similar button which activates what Jabra calls a 'Listen-in' feature. This allows the wearer to hear the ambient sounds even while wearing the headset. This can be very handy in an office environment when you may want (or need) to interact with colleagues but don't want to keep taking off the headset to have a conversation.

Finally, on the outer edge of the center buttons (on both sides) is an LED ring which turns red when you are on a call. This 'Busylight' lets your co-workers know you are on a call and shouldn't be disturbed.

Jabra has done an excellent job of letting you control a host of functions with a minimum number of individual buttons. The trade-off is having to remember all of the different combinations. Most of the control is handled from the right earpiece. Here are just some of the ways you can control the Jabra Evolve 75 headset (all from the right ear cup).

Answer call or End CallPress the Answer/End button once.
Reject callDouble-tap Answer/End button.
Adjust VolumePress Volume up or down.
Battery StatusPress Volume up or down when not on a call or listening to music.
Mute/un-mute microphonePress the Mute button or rotate microphone up (to mute) or down (to un-mute).
Turn voice guidance on/offPress and hold Mute button for 5 seconds.
Use SiriPress the Mute button when not on a call or listening to music.
Multi-call Control
Put current call on hold, and answer new callPress the Answer/End button
Switch between callsPress the Answer/End button
Reject Incoming call, continue current callDouble-tap Answer/End button.

In fairness to Jabra, we're not sure there is a better way to manage all of this and having everything controlled by one main button is certainly efficient. We would have liked to see a small wallet card in the box that can be used as a 'cheat sheet' if needed, until you get used to the different options.

Jabra Evolve 75 Test Results

Overall, we found the sound quality of the Jabra Evolve 75 to be excellent. Voices were crisp and clear and there was ample volume range so that we could hear even the softest of phone conversations.

The padded ear cups were quite comfortable and we don't think users will have any issues if they need to wear The Jabra Evolve 75 for hours at a time.

One of our testers is a hearing aid wearer and said that the Jabra Evolve 75 did not pinch or interfere with the behind the ear style hearing aids at all. In addition to being comfortable, there was no feedback or sound quality issues. He did feel the sound was lacking in some of the higher frequencies but that appears to be due more to a personal hearing issue rather than anything to do with the Evolve 75.

Listening to music was generally acceptable. In communication mode the speaker is rated for 150Hz – 6.8kHz but expands to a full 20 Hz to 20kHz in music mode. Even so, we found the music fidelity to be slightly less than what you might expect from a headset that is designed solely for music listening. We consider the ability to listen to music an added benefit rather than a primary feature and in that context, we think the music sound quality is more than acceptable.

The Bluetooth connection was very stable and we were able to walk around the office with no drop-outs or interference and with a projected range of 100 ft. from the paired device, you should have no trouble continuing the conversation if you have to get up to grab something off the printer.

We found the Active Noise Cancellation worked well as did the Listen-in function in between calls.

Jabra Suite for Mac

Jabra Suite for Mac is free Mac software that enables Jabra USB audio devices to have Remote Call Control over the latest generation of Mac softphones.
This allows the user to:

  • Hear ring tones
  • Answer and end calls
  • Mute the microphone
  • Place and resume call on hold
  • Redial

directly from the Jabra audio device.

Jabra Suite for Mac also checks for available Jabra device firmware updates and then offers to easily upgrade the attached devices for optimal performance.

Jabra Suite for Mac provides compatibility between Jabra USB devices and the following softphones on the Mac OS platform:

  • Avaya one-X Communicator, version 2.0 or above
  • CounterPath Bria, up to ver. 4.3.0 and from 4.4.1 or above (ver. 4.4.0 not fully supported)
  • CounterPath X-Lite, up to ver. 4.9.2 and from 4.9.4 or above (ver. 4.9.3 not fully supported)
  • IBM Sametime, version 8.5.2; 9.0 or above and Embedded IBM Sametime installed in Lotus Notes 9.0
  • Skype, version 5.8.0.945 or above

The Jabra Suite for Mac usually requires a physical USB connection to the Mac but using the Jabra Link 370 Bluetooth adapter that is included

Jabra Suite for Mac supports the following Mac OS versions: 10.10.x (Yosemite), 10.11.x (El Capitan) and 10.12.x (Sierra).

The Bottom Line

The Jabra Evolve 75 is a top-of-the-line wireless headset. The superior sound quality, flexible call control and all-day battery life makes for an easy choice but it does come at a price.

Alone, the Jabra Evolve has an MSRP of $279.00. Add in the optional charging stand and the price jumps up to $329.00. That tends to be at the high end of this product category.

There are certainly less expensive options for headsets but many of them tend to be wired options which is certainly less desirable, even if you don't have to be mobile within your office.

Admittedly, we have not tested any competitor products in this category but we have tested enough Jabra products (read our reviews here), to say that they are well made and consistently produce superior sound quality. We think Jabra makes a premium product that is worth the premium price.

If price is a concern, we encourage you to check out the full line of Jabra Evolve headsets available on the Jabra website. They have a variety of Evolve headsets that are sure to meet everyone's needs and budget.

While anyone who spends a lot of time on the phone would benefit from a headset like the Jabra Evolve 75, it seems targeted for use in an Open Plan office environment where you are faced with competing conversations at the same time. Love it or hate it, the Open Plan office is here to stay. By some estimates, 70% of today's offices are at least partially an Open Plan layout.

That is a lot of people wearing a lot of headsets and Jabra is obviously serious about being a major provider. The Jabra Evolve 75 is certified for use with Skype for Business, Avaya, Cisco and other major online voice call providers.

If you are a decision maker and need to deploy at least 50 headsets in your company, you may qualify for a free trial. To find out more just go to the Jabra Evolve web site and click on the Free Trial button.

Even if you don't qualify for the Free Trial or perhaps you just want a headset for yourself, we think the Jabra Evolve 75 wireless headset is worth serious consideration.

We would like to thank our friends at Jabra for providing the Jabra Evolve 75 wireless headset for our review.

Important:The information in this document is deprecated in Xcode 9. For Xcode 9 and later, see Simulator Help by choosing Help > Simulator Help in Simulator.

Simulator app, available within Xcode, presents the iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch user interface in a window on your Mac computer. You interact with Simulator by using the keyboard and the mouse to emulate taps, device rotation, and other user actions.

The chapter presents the basics of using Simulator. You can perform these steps using your own iOS app or, if you do not have an app to use, with the HelloWorld sample code. For more detailed information on interacting with Simulator and using it to test and debug your apps, refer to the later chapters in this guide.

Access Simulator from Xcode

There are two different ways to access Simulator through Xcode. The first way is to run your app in Simulator, and the second way is to launch Simulator without running an app.

Running Your iOS App

When testing an app in Simulator, it is easiest to launch and run your app in Simulator directly from your Xcode project. To run your app in Simulator, choose an iOS simulator—for example, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, or iPhone 6 + Apple Watch - 38mm—from the Xcode scheme pop-up menu, and click Run. Xcode builds your project and then launches the most recent version of your app running in Simulator on your Mac screen, as shown in Figure 1-1.

Note: If you are testing an app with a deployment target of iPad, you can test only on a simulated iPad. If you are testing an app with a deployment target of iPhone or universal, you can test on either a simulated iPhone or a simulated iPad.

Running Your watchOS App

To run your WatckKit app, choose a combination of an iOS device and watchOS device from the Xcode scheme pop-up menu. For example, to run the watch app in a 38mm watch paired with an iPhone 6, choose 'iPhone 6 + Apple Watch - 38mm' from the scheme pop-up menu.

Running the WatchKit target launches two simulators, one for the iOS device and one for the watchOS device. Figure 1-2 shows an iPhone 6 and a 42mm watch running in two different simulators.

Running Your tvOS App

To run your tvOS App, choose a tvOS device from the Xcode scheme pop-up menu. Running the tvOS target launches the most recent version of your app in a simulated new Apple TV device, as shown in Figure 1-3.

Launching Simulator Without Running an App

At times, you may want to launch Simulator without running an app. This approach is helpful if you want to test how your app launches from the Home screen of a device or if you want to test a web app in Safari on a simulated iOS device.

To launch a Simulator without running an app

  1. Launch Xcode.

  2. Arc defence mac os. Do one of the following:

    • Choose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator.

    • Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.

To launch a watchOS Simulator without running an app

  1. Launch Xcode.

  2. Do one of the following:

Simulator opens and displays the Home screen of whichever simulated device was last used.

View the Installed Apps

From the Home screen, you have access to all of the apps that are installed in the simulation environment. There are two ways to access the Home screen in Simulator from your app:

  • Press Command-Shift-H.

  • Choose Hardware > Home.

Use the installed apps to test your app's interaction with them. For example, if you are testing a game, you can use Simulator to ensure that the game is using Game Center correctly.

iOS Device Home Screen

Much like the Home screen on an iOS device, the simulator's iOS Home screen has multiple pages. After clicking the Home button (or accessing the Home screen through the Hardware menu), you arrive at the second page of the Home screen. To get to the first page, where all of the preinstalled apps are found, swipe to the first Home screen by dragging to the right on the simulator screen.

On the Home screen, you see that all of the apps that have been preloaded into Simulator. See iOS Device Home Screen.

The apps that you see on the Home screen are specific to the iOS device simulation environment. Because Passbook and the Health app are available only for the iPhone, these apps don't appear if you are simulating a legacy device or an unsupported device type.

watchOS Device Home Screen

The Home screen for a simulated watchOS device behaves the same as it would on an actual device. You can click and drag to simulate the finger dragging around the screen and launch an app by clicking on it. Figure 1-4 shows the home screen of a 42mm watch with a developer app, the Lister sample code.

Use Safari to Test Web Apps

From the Home screen, you can access Safari within Simulator. Use Safari to test your iOS web apps directly on your Mac.

  1. From the Home screen, click Safari.

  2. In the address field in Safari, type the URL of your web app and press the Return key.

If your Mac is connected to the Internet, it displays the mobile version of the URL you specified. For example, type apple.com into the address field and press Return. Safari displays the Apple website. See Figure 1-6.

Use Maps to Simulate Location Awareness

Simulator provides tools to assist you in debugging your apps. One of the many features you can debug in Simulator is location awareness within your app. Set a location by choosing Debug > Location > location of choice. The menu has items to simulate a static location or following a route.

A simulated watchOS device with the location set to None checks the paired iPhone device for the location.

You can specify your own location, which can be seen in the Maps app.

  1. From the Home screen, click Maps.

  2. Choose Debug > Location > Custom Location.

  3. In the window that appears, type the number 40.75 in the latitude field and the number -73.75 in the longitude field.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Click the Current Location button in the bottom-left corner of the simulated device screen. https://bestzfil304.weebly.com/free-news-software.html.

After completing this task, notice that the blue dot representing your location is in New York, NY, near the Long Island Expressway, as shown in Figure 1-7.

Change the Simulated Device and OS Version

Don't Walk Alone (gameheads) Mac Os Catalina

Simulator provides the ability to simulate many different combinations of device type and OS version. A device type is a model of iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Some iPhone devices can also have a paired Apple Watch. Each device-OS combination has its own simulation environment with its own settings and apps. Simulator provides simulators for common device-iOS, device-watchOS-iOS device, and device-tvOS combinations. You can also add simulators for a specific combination you want to test. However, not all device type and OS version combinations are available.

Note: To test apps for the iPad mini, use a simulated iPad with the same pixel resolution as the iPad mini.

You can switch between different device-OS combinations. Switching closes the window for the existing device and then opens a new window with the selected device. The existing device goes through a normal OS shutdown sequence, though the timeout might be longer than the one on a real device. The new device goes through a normal OS startup sequence.

To change the simulated device

  1. Choose a Hardware > Device > device of choice.

    Simulator closes the active device window and opens a new window with the selected device.

If the device type and OS version combination you want to use is not in the Device submenu, create a simulator for it.

To add a simulator

  1. Choose Hardware > Device > Manage Devices.

    Xcode opens the Devices window.

  2. At the bottom of the left column, click the Add button (+).

  3. In the dialog that appears, enter a name in the Simulator Name text field and choose the device from the Device Type pop-up menu.

  4. Choose the OS version from the iOS Version pop-up menu.

    Alternatively, if the iOS version you want to use isn't in the iOS Version pop-up menu, choose 'Download more simulators' and follow the steps to download a simulator. Asylum demo mac os.

  5. Click Create.

If the OS version you want to use is not installed, download it and follow the steps to add a simulator again.

To download a simulator

  1. In Xcode, choose Xcode > Preferences.

  2. In the Preferences window, click Downloads.

  3. In Components, find the legacy simulator version you want to add, and click the Install button.

You can also delete and rename simulators in the Devices window.

To delete a simulator

  1. In Simulator, choose Hardware > Device > Manage Devices, or in Xcode, choose Window > Devices.

    Xcode opens the Devices window.

  2. In the left column, select the simulator.

  3. At the bottom of the left column, click the Action button (the gear next to the Add button).

  4. Choose Delete from the Action menu.

  5. In the dialog that appears, click Delete.

To rename a simulator, choose Rename from the Action menu and enter a new name.

For how to manage real devices that appear in the Devices window, read Devices Window Help.

Alter the Settings of the Simulated Device

You can alter the settings within Simulator to help test your app.

On a simulated device, use the Settings app. To open the Settings app, go to the Home screen and click or on tvOS, choose Settings. In Figure 1-8 you see the Settings app as it appears when launched in the iOS simulation environment.

The Simulator settings differ from the settings found on a hardware device. Simulator is designed for testing your apps, whereas a hardware device is designed for use. Because Simulator is designed for testing apps, its settings are naturally focused on testing, too. For example, in a simulated iOS device the Accessibility menu provides the ability to turn on the Accessibility Inspector, and the Accessibility menu on a device allows you to turn on and off different accessibility features.

The dark pigeon mac os. Through the settings, you can test both accessibility and localization of your app. See Testing and Debugging in iOS Simulator for information on how to manipulate your settings for the various types of testing you are interested in.

Remember: Changes made in the Settings app of simulated device affect only the simulation environment that is currently running.

Don't Walk Alone (gameheads) Mac Os X

Rotate iOS Devices

You can use Simulator to manipulate the simulated device much as you do a physical device.

To rotate your simulated device, choose Hardware > Rotate Left. When you rotate your simulated device, Settings rotates (see Figure 1-9), just as it would on a hardware device.

Test in Simulator and on a Device

Simulator is designed to assist you in designing, rapidly prototyping, and testing your app, but it should never serve as your sole platform for testing. One reason is that not all apps are available in the simulator. For example, the Camera app is available only on hardware devices and cannot be replicated in the simulator.

Don't Walk Alone (gameheads) Mac Os Download

In addition, not all bugs and performance problems can be caught through testing in Simulator alone. You'll learn more about performance differences in Testing and Debugging in iOS Simulator. You can also find more information on testing your app on a device in Launching Your App on Devices in App Distribution Guide.

Quit Simulator

Simulator continues running until you quit it. Quitting Xcode will not close Simulator because they are separate applications. Similarly quitting simulator will not close Xcode.

To quit Simulator, choose Simulator > Quit Simulator. The device is shut down, terminating any running apps.

Note: Both Simulator and watchOS Simulator can be open at the same time.
