Re: [Mac-access]: Iphone 5 or 4S

2015-04-18 Thread Phil Halton
It was the iPhone 5 that was recalled. I know, because mine was just replaced 
on the battery replacement program. Oddly enough, the battery life on the 
replacement is not even as good as the one that it replaced. I'm going to use 
this iPhone five until the fall and see if they come out with a 6S. At which 
time I'll upgrade.

 Jude,
 I'm not sure what you mean when you say the battery life on the 5S is not 
 good. I have a 5S, and my battery last me all day with pretty heavy use. 
 Also, I have a for S, and the speed of the 5S is noticeably better than that 
 of the 4s. So, I don't agree with you about them being no better than each 
 other depending on the memory only. My experience simply does not bear that 
 out.
 I also don't know what you mean when you say that you can't use voiceover 
 with a Bluetooth keyboard. Of course you can. If you couldn't, how would you 
 know where you were navigating?

 You presume wrong so far as bluetooth keyboards are concerned.  You can 
 use VoiceOver or a bluetooth keyboard but not both at the same time and 
 usually when you open an edit field the bluetooth keyboard pairing wins.
 The 4s will be at end of life when ios10 comes out.
 The whole 5 series is no better than the 4s you have unless the 5 series 
 phone you get has more memory in it than your 4s.  Battery life is no good 
 until you get a 6+ and that is the case since the 6+ battery is larger.

Re: [Mac-access]: how to import audio in to a new track in Amadeus Pro

2015-04-02 Thread Phil Halton
In order to “nudge a track in AmadeusPro, use the “shift track” dialog under 
the tracks menu. It’s fairly self-explanatory. 
Unfortunately, it is not remembered as the “last action” so you can’t use 
command T to repeat the nudge. You can, however, set up a key shortcut to the 
dialog, and then just press enter after the shortcut which will repeat the last 
nudge, either forward or backward, and by the last time value.
I used this feature in my last project to sync up a few tracks and it worked 
fine. 
 On Apr 2, 2015, at 2:54 AM, Sarah k Alawami marri...@gmail.com wrote:
 
 Yeah you can't nudge audio with amadeus, if you can I can't figure it out. I 
 add silence for example to the second track then paste over the first track. 
 If You want to nudge work with garage band. Recardo Walker has some excellent 
 podcasts on garage band and how it works. Look up the apple to the core 
 podcast. It's very very good.

Re: [Mac-access]: Where to find complete list of keystrokes?

2015-03-24 Thread Phil Halton
It’s a bit too complex and time-consuming for me to explain. It’s not that it 
is complex, its just complex when you try to put it into words. Sorry, 
sometimes you just have to use your own mind and think for yourself. The 
rewards are greater that way. and how would one develop analytic skills if one 
didn’t try now and then, and not wait for another to give them the answers they 
feel they are entitled to? Sorry if this seems harsh, I guess I just don’t like 
being taken to task for trying  to be helpful.
good luck,

 Hi Phil,
 I am not the original person who posted this question. But it seems to me, 
 that if you have found a system that helps somebody make sense of the Mac 
 keyboard commands and how they are structured, it would be way, way more 
 helpful if you would simply explain the system, which might help other people 
 including me, rather than telling them to see if they can figure it out for 
 themselves. This is not a fifth-grade classroom. It is a list where we try to 
 help each other. Not everybody has the sort of analytical mind which will 
 help them figure out this system. So, I would really love it if you could 
 actually post what you have figured out, and see if if it is helpful. Thank

Re: [Mac-access]: Erratic Problem With Voiceover

I have a problem with VoiceOver where the audio speeds up and then cuts out. It 
sounds a lot like a tape being suddenly wound up at high speed. It happens for 
a few seconds and then settles back down. I have assumed it is a sudden load on 
the processor that is responsible, but that’s probably too simple. Like Dane’s

 Again, I’m curious and its not so much of a problem rather a minor irritant

open your home folder by pressing command shift H. then in the finder menu bar, 
open the “GO” menu and arrow down to library and press enter.
 interact with the browser, and arrow down to Library. it will be dimmed, but 
 open it anyway, now you can drill  down to Mail/V2/MailData. You’ll find the

Honestly? How new to the Mac are you? I bet if you look in the edit menu you'll 
find the right command. You might want to read through the getting started 
manual that you can find in the voiceover help system by pressing vo and the 
letter H.  It answers a lot of these basic questions.

Re: [Mac-access]: bluetooth audio question

2015-02-07 Thread Phil Halton
I know there is a bluetooth protocol that is necessary for this to happen, and 
not all devices support that protocol. I think it is “a2dp” or something like 
that, and it allows for VO along with other audio to carry over the device 
simultaneously without manual intervention.
.
I have a pair of aftershocks bluetooth bone-conductingheadphones that do this 
sort of thing nicely.

   Hi,
 
 I’ll preface this by saying that I think I must be missing something pretty 
 fundamental as what I’m about to ask is, to my mind, a very basic requirement.
 
 I have a pair of bluetooth headphones which I can quite happily pair with my 
 MacBook using the latest Yosemite.I can then hear output from, say, 
 iTunes coming over those headphones; however, in order to hear VO, I need to 
 go into the VO sound settings and explicitly choose the bluetooth headphones 
 as the output device.  This is all well and good until such times as either 
 the bluetooth headphones aren’t switched on or they run out of battery; at 
 that point, I am left with a mute computer 
 
 My question, therefore, is…is there a way to have VO automatically use the 
 inbuilt sound from the computer if the selected device is not connected?
 
 Any help much appreciated.

Re: [Mac-access]: Review: Samson C01U Pro USB Mic : AskAudio

2015-02-05 Thread Phil Halton
looks good Jim, thanks

 On Feb 5, 2015, at 7:18 AM, Jim Noseworthy 
 jim.nosewor...@compuconference.com wrote:
 
 Hello folks:
 
 If anyone is looking for a low-cost excellent USB condenser mic, read on.
 
 हिंदी
 It appears USB mics are now being accepted as potentially good recording 
 solutions in many home studios. Does Samson's budget C01U Pro USB mic defy 
 its price? 
 In years past, if someone said “low-priced microphone” to a recording 
 engineer, he’d immediately flash to the tinny built-in mics in portable 
 recorders, or those cheap plastic table-top dictation mics that sounded like 
 a voice over the telephone. Well, that stereotype is long dead, and if any 
 vestige of it remains, the Samson C01U Pro is the final nail in that coffin!
 
 The Samson C01U Pro USB Microphone.
 The C01U Pro is a high-quality USB condenser mic, and despite its budget 
 price, it delivers the goods—and not only for voice recordings. While it may 
 not be a replacement for your favorite Neumann, it provides excellent sound, 
 and a high degree of convenience, to boot.
 The Specs
 The C01U Pro is an upgraded version of Samson’s original C01U USB mic, 
 retaining the original’s specs, while adding additional functionality. The 
 Pro is a large-diaphragm condenser, with a super-cardioid pickup pattern, and 
 a smooth response. 
 
 The C01U Pro's Frequency Response  Polar Pattern.
 As you can see from the graph, the on-axis response is commendably flat, with 
 a gentle rise of around 3–4 dB at 10 kHz—this gives the mic a nice sense of 
 detail on voices and instruments (like acoustic guitar), and is inline with 
 the response of most vocal condensers. Directionality is as advertised, and 
 the mic did a good job of rejecting room noise. 
 The USB connection
 Connectivity is strictly via USB, with a port at the bottom of the mic, where 
 an XLR connection normally would be. There is no other audio output, and the 
 supplied USB cable provides not only the audio connection to the computer, 
 but also power for the mic. Here’s where the C01U Pro exceeds its 
 predecessor. To enable the mic to function as a one-stop solution for simple 
 recording needs (like podcasts), this version is also a full USB interface. 
 Not only does the USB connection bring in the mic’s audio signal, but it 
 offers playback as well, via an 1/8th-inch stereo headphone jack on the front 
 of the mic. This provides low-latency monitoring of the mic signal, along 
 with audio from the DAW, and makes simple recording tasks a breeze—just plug 
 it in and go. Of course, the mic can also be used for input alone, monitoring 
 normally through the DAW interface’s outs—both approaches worked fine for me 
 when I tested it out. And while I tested only with a computer DAW, Samson 
 points out that the mic can also be used with iPads and iPhones (4S  later) 
 via the appropriate adaptor.
 Setting Up
 The USB connection is compatible with both Windows and Mac without the need 
 for external drivers—I tested it on a Mac. As soon as it’s plugged in, the 
 mic shows up in the System Preferences Sound panel where you can choose it as 
 either System Input or Output (or both) and set the recording and playback 
 levels. 
 
 The C01U Pro in OS X Sound Preferences.
 Even once you close this panel, you can keep an eye on signal levels via a 
 two-color LED on the front of the mic itself, which lights up green for 
 power, and red to indicate clipping. 
 As expected, the C01U Pro also showed up in Logic as an option for Input and 
 Output, and it worked perfectly whether I monitored through its own headphone 
 amp, or via my regular interface. 
 
 The C01U Pro in Logic's Audio Preferences.
 The only wrinkle was a somewhat finicky headphone jack on the mic—the plug on 
 one set of phones wouldn’t insert properly, leaving me with only one ear 
 working, though another headphone plugged in and worked without problems 
 (finicky connections are often the case with 1/8th-inch jacks). Other than 
 that, operation was seamless.
 The Extras
 Once again, to make the mic a one-stop solution, Samson has thoughtfully 
 included everything you’ll need to get going. 
 
 The C01U Pro with accessories.
 The mic comes with a 10’ USB cable, a swivel mount, a table top tripod stand, 
 and even a standard thread for connection to a mic stand. These goodies are 
 heavy, well-made pieces, and provide solid support for the mic, which itself 
 has a nice heft. The only things not included were a separate pop filter 
 (naturally the mic has a built-in windscreen) or an external shock mount, but 
 in use I didn’t feel the need for either—the mic didn’t pick up undue 
 thumping even on its desk stand, and with the mic just a hair off-axis, I had 
 no issues with p-pops.
 In use
 The Samson more than held its own against the higher-end mic, with a warm, 
 yet clear sound quality. 
 I tested the C01U Pro with Logic, first recording my own voice, and then 
 comparing it to an AKG 535 (a vocal

 bending?
 
 
 OK guys,
 
 I've heard horror story after horror story about the IPhone 6, and 6 Plus
 bending.  I'm admittedly now a little probably worked up over the hife.
 
 I'm probably being way over over paranoid, and normally, I don't fall for
 crap like this, but I will admit.  Out of its case, my new IPhone 6 Plus
 does! feel very very flimsy.  It feels like it would definitely take some
 force to do it, and I'm obviously! not about to try it intentionally,
 thank
 you very much?  but! is it more just hife, and just people trying to bash
 Apple and make a stink?  I know that there are plenty of Youtube videos
 out
 there of people bending the phones purposely to show that it indeed can
 and
 will bend.  This said, I have a Pelican protector case.  Earlier tonight I
 tried taking the thing off temporarily so I could show the bare phone to
 my
 mom, as she'd never seen a 6 of any sort before, let alone, a 6 Plus.
 This
 case is so snugged on the thing that pealing it off the back of the phone
 literally! almost takes the jaws of life!  NO pun to the screen reader
 intended.  LOL!  I swear when I did take it out, it felt like after trying
 to put it back in, I didn't slide it up quite far enough to the top edge
 of
 the case, therefore it was a little crookid.  When I took it out again to
 reposition it, I swear it felt like it had bent a slight bit.  I think I'm
 probably just paranoid though.  Most likely it didn't bend, and if it did,
 it would have been so slight that it eventually seems to a fixed itself.
 Again, I know I'm probably having you look at me and go... Doo'ood,
 Really?I
 mean, O? Kayyy.  I never said! it couldn't! happen, don't get me wrong,
 but
 do you all agree with what ATT and Apple both are telling me, that the
 people who did! do this, were mistreating the phones badly, whether be
 purposely or not?
 
 I heard about one dude who literally apparently bent the thing on quote
 unquote, accident, so badly that the thang literally caught fire!  So,
 yeah...  I dunno.  I'm probably over-paranoid, and earlier is probably
 just
 all in my head, as I'm working myself up over it for no reason, but I
 wanted
 to confirm with you all.  I never really go outside and am travelling a
 lot.
 I never ever put my phones in my back pants pocket, I always keep the
 thing
 up on a counter/table/desk when not using it.  I also have a good hard
 glass
 screen protector over the screen, in addition to the case.  So, yeah.
 What
 do you all think?  Do I need to just calm down, and stop pannicking, or do
 you all think I really do! have a reason to be so frightenned of this.

I talked to a guy at the Apple store about this and he said essentially the 
same thing. If you’re going to put it in your back pocket and then sit on it, 
yeah, it’ll probably bend. But then, who puts $$$ smart phones in their back 
pocket and then sits on it? That’s right, a fool with very little common sense 
and  a lot of money to burn.
What’s the saying? “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

BTW: I thought Glen’s little pun was about as funny and appropriate as it gets 
under the circumstances. 
Laughter is the best medicine? Wow, I’m just full of little sayings this

Re: [Mac-access]: fine reader pro

2014-12-07 Thread Phil Halton
You know, I’ve always had problems with HP scanners. If you’re open to the 
idea, you can get a number of great little scanners that work just fine ABBYY 
FineReader Pro for around $100-$150. I use the Epson Perfection V33. All the 
Epson scanners work fine with ABBYY and can be had pretty cheap. I hear Canon 
scanners also work well.
Check on this list before buying and you’ll get a number of recommendations.

 My sighted Neighbour and I have spent several hours today with no good 
 results.  The native aps don't work either, the scanner sounds as if its 
 working mostly there are no results or if there are any you can't read them.  
 For some reason Abbey fine express sort of works with ICA but its not 
 straightforward.  Fine Reader again sounds as if its scanning then there is 
 nothing.  The task bar in HP manager is empty, where as before I could just 
 do a quick scan with it and it worked really well.
 So I feel stuck, I wish I hadnt updated it   was working reasonably well with

 Hello Judy,
 
 My first thought would be to make sure your Mac has the latest ICA 
 compliant driver for your scanner model installed. If I remember 
 correctly, FineReader Express used TWAIN scanner drivers while FineReader 
 Pro uses ICA drivers. You can probably get the latest driver by either 
 running software update on the Mac or by going to HP’s website and 
 checking the available drivers for your scanner model. You might also look 
 at Apple’s website listing compatible printers/scanners. The US version of 
 that page can be found here:
 http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201465
 
 If that does not resolve your issue, can you provide the following 
 information?
 1. What model is your HP scanner?
 2. What version of MacOS are you running?
 3. How is your scanner communicating with your Mac? (USB, Wi-Fi, etc)
 4. What is your FineReader version?
 5. What is the version of your installed HP scanner driver?
 
 HTH,
 Bryan

Re: [Mac-access]: Selecting columns and rows in Numbers.

2014-12-01 Thread Phil Halton
I find the easiest way to select a column or row is to move to the first cell 
you want to start the selection with, and then press shift command down arrow 
for columns, or right arrow for rows.
There are many other options available by entering the header with shift VO | 
(the key above the enter key). Once you press that key combo, you are in a list 
(vo doesn’t always announce this list). up and down arrow and press enter or VO 
space on either the column or row reference tab in that list, depending on 
whether you want to work with a column or a row. You then arrow right or left 
to move to the desired column, or up and down to move to the desired row tab.
 Press Vo Space on the desired column or row reference tab to select it. I 
believe that selects the entire row/column. Also, with the desired tab 
selected, press shift VO +M to bring up the context menu for that row/column. 
in there you can do all sorts of things including sorting and filtering data.
Very important! Don’t forget to exit the header with shift VO |  again when 
you’re done, to return to regular spreadsheet operations. 
Also, I think that once you exit the header, your selection is no longer 
selected, so do your copy etc while in the header. (I could be wrong on that - 
I just tried it quickly before writing this post).

Re: [Mac-access]: Apps and Folders in Applications

2014-11-30 Thread Phil Halton
Some apps install themselves, folder and all, in the main applications folder. 
For example, my external sound card, Roland Quad Capture, installed a folder in 
the apps folder called Roland that contains several files associated with the 
device. 
Generally, when you are told to copy the .app file to the applications folder, 
it refers only to the .app file and not to any collection of files and folders.
Also, you might notice that there is a subfolder in the applications folder 
called utilities. There’s an example of Apple in its wisdom organizing apps 
into subfolders. 
So again, when installing your average app, just copy the .app file into 
applications folder and you’ll be fine.

 However, as stated previously elsewhere, it would be good to have at least 
 a list of the commands in a text format as it is difficult to take notes

 hearing difficulties it is a pity for them to miss out on such excellent

Re: [Mac-access]: Pages and table of contents

2014-11-29 Thread Phil Halton
Ann, could you refresh our memories as to were we can get this “move mouse” 
utility? A google search brought up a lot of somewhat ambiguous results. I’m 
just starting to use Pages again and I think its time to get hold of this mouse 
move utility.
thanks

 Hello all,
 
 Another retrograde step in the new Pages. Under Mavericks, the table of 
 contents formatter allowed a VoiceOver user to check or uncheck any elements 
 in the table of contents. Since Yosemite and the latest Pages, those 
 checkboxes are inaccessible with VO.
 
 However, there is a workaround. That handy little utility MoveMouse allows 
 you to find these checkboxes so that they can be checked or unchecked using 
 the mouse or trackpad. The one to the left of the element name is quite 
 close, so only a couple of moves left are necessary. The one to the right 
 requires around ten moves right.
 
 Cheers,

 Melissa,
 There is no Ethernet port on the MBA. But you do have USB, so you
 could purchase a USB to Ethernet dongle (little conversion cord), and
 then plug the USB into the MBA, the Ethernet into the dongle, and the
 other end of the Ethernet into the router.
 I purchased mine from the Apple store, but I would assume you could
 get the USB to Ethernet conversion cord from many places like Best

 Take care.

Re: [Mac-access]: rearanging sections in the latest pages

2014-11-07 Thread Phil Halton
Nick,

I just downloaded and spendt an hour or so going through the free version of 
scrivener and its getting started tutorial.
Yep! it does look like a great app for serious, complex writing projects. And, 
it looks to be highly accessible with VO - one of those really VO friendly apps 
that are all too infrequent.
Unfortunately, I just don’t need that kind of power for my little writing 
projects and can’t justify the cost. BTW: how well does it handle tables? I’ll 
bet it’s great there too.
Pages does kind of fall short in a lot of areas - at least for me it does. 
That’s why I keep windows w/office 2010 in good order. there are very few Mac 
apps that I’ve come across that can compete with Word for word processing.

 Hi Sarah,
 
 Unfortunately I don’t think Pages is a good tool for what you want to do. I 
 know of no way to do that in Pages apart from copying a paragraph or two at 
 a time.
 
 That’s why for that kind of writing I prefer to use Scrivener. It’s designed 
 for just that type of thing. It’s great for writing theses or any long 
 writing project. It’s means of re-ordering and restructuring documents works 
 really well with VoiceOver.
 
 Scrivener have a free trial which you might use to accomplish what you want. 
 Even if it’s a bit too late for Scrivener this time, however, you should 
 definitely check it out for your next writing project.

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?

2014-10-23 Thread Phil Halton
Andy, I just did the following before answering your question:
1) restart the mac.
2) at the log on chime sound, immediately press and hold command + R.
3) hold for a full fifteen seconds then release.
4) wait another 10 seconds and then turn on VoiceOver with command +F5.

Note: these times vary. I’d stick with the initial fifteen seconds although it 
might be overkill. if the ten seconds still doesn’t bring up Fred, keep trying 
- it’ll come up talking in a bit. Fred comes up as the default recovery mode 
voice.
end note:

6) you are presented with the recovery mode menu that has a table containing 
three options, reinstall OSX, get help, and Disk Utility.
BTW: this is the preferred disk utility app for doing permissions repairs.

After you finish with the recovery mode, simply quit with command Q and you’ll 
be prompted to reboot with options for which disk to boot into - default is 
your Mac HD.

To reinstall the OS, simply select the option from the table and hit enter, 
then follow the yellow brick road.

Re: V M Ware fusion 7 or Parallels

2014-10-23 Thread Phil Halton
for some reason you wound up in my junk mailbox, but no matter… Fusion 7 is the 
only real way to go. Parallels is not accessible to any extent that would make 
it worth the bother, whereas fusion is completely accessible to VoiceOver. 
Version 7 is compatible with the latest OSX, and its always a good idea to keep 
up with the latest versions of apps if possible.
you’ll encounter a little difficulty when setting up your windows screen 
reader, there is no insert key on the mac, and you can’t use the caps lock key 
either as OSX doesn’t treat it as an actual key press that can be passed 
through to the windows virtual machine,  both of these keys being   the 
preferred  modifier keys for windows screen readers. So, you’ll have to do a 
few little tricks to get around that - no problem though - it is easily done 
and we’ll help you when you get to that.

 hey all,
 as anyone who uses VO on the mac will know not many things are as annoying 
 as the 1 row added message.
 My idea is crude and not ideal but it is the only thing I can think of.
 If I was to make a new definition in voice-over dictionary i could put the 1 
 row added and tell VO to say nothing.
 like i said, it is not ideal but when using a program such as night owl I am 
 at my wits end with this godforsaken message.
 Obviously apple in their own twisted logic believe that this message has 
 some sort of value and logically it does. I just wish we had more choice 
 over what was said, even a ding or chime sound would be a lot more bearable.
 Let me know what you think.
 i have to do something.
 
 thanks
 
 Michael

Re: Scanning Handwriting on the Mac

any scanner will produce a jpg image file containing a picture of the scanned

disappointed. I’d  use ABBYY fine reader pro, if you have it for scanning

Re: new macbook air owner with question

2014-10-01 Thread Phil Halton
Have you read through the “getting started guide”, used keyboard help, taken 
the quick start tutorial? They are all available by pressing VO+H (command 
option H) on your mac. you’ll do yourself a great favour and answer most if not 
all of your mac questions by taking those initial steps. If you’re still stuck 
after that, then we can help you, but to ask for help without having first done 
all you can to learn the ins and outs of voice over on the mac, well…
My favourite help in the early days was the keyboard help VO+K. It helped me 
remember and try out the keystrokes that the getting started guide and the 
quick start tutorial were teaching me.

Re: Deleting Virtual Machines in VmWare Fusion

2014-09-17 Thread Phil Halton
I could be wrong, but since vm is just  a file, You should just be able to 
delete it as you would any other file. However, since it is so large you might 
have trouble with it going into the trash. Then again Mac OSx might ask you if 
you want to just get rid of it rather than try to store it in the trash, since 
it is so big. As long as you don't need the authorization key, you can just 
delete the VM file. Again, I mostly guessing here but that's what I think would 
happen.

Re: How to access setings for dropbox on the mac.

2014-08-29 Thread Phil Halton
I have the latest Mac dropbox app 2.10.74 I think, and I still use the option 
mouse click to bring up the dropbox menu from the extras menu bar. It’s the 
only way I know to get at that context menu. Of course, first route the mouse 
to the dropbox icon, then hold down the option key and click the mouse on your 
air/pro, or on an external mouse
open the preferences menu item in the drop down menu and under “account”, you 
can change the default location of the dropbox folder. I’m not sure if you can 
successfully use an external disc, but go ahead and experiment with some dummy 
files and see what happens when you pull the plug.
under “account”, You can also use selective sync to limit the folders that 
dropbox syncs onto your mac, if space is a concern. But, you’ll need sighted 
assistance to click the various folders that you want to sync and uncheck those 
you don’t want on your machine.

I have two macs, an iMac with a 1TB drive that I rarely use, and a mac book air 
with 256gb flash. I keep the dropbox folders totally synced on the iMac, and 
only some of the more critical folders synced on the air. If I want something 
ported over to the air, I simply move it into my public folder on the iMac and 
then copy it into the desired  folder on the air.

This is how I conserve space on my air while still having the advantages of 
dropbox.

2014-08-22 Thread Phil Halton
I was thinking of IOS browsers when I made my comments that Safari sucked pond 
water. I do like safari on the mac, but would like to find something else for 
ios. Any good ios browser suggestions?

 There is a  hole list of  them  you  can use.
 Instabrowser, atonicweb etc but  like what  has been stated before none are

 It depends what you want  to use it for.  But like most  people have  said I 
 personally find  safari work best  for me  and does all I need it to do.

Re: I think I broke mail

2014-08-16 Thread Phil Halton
Three things, first of all, the word would be ignorant and not stupid.
You're not stupid you just don't have certain information, And there's no 
reason to apologize for that. 
Secondly, if I were you I would completely forget about windows as a reference 
point for learning the Mac. They are two different animals, and It will only 
interfere with your understanding of the Mac operating system.
Thirdly, I believe John's information is on his website and I think that 
website is called Macfortheblind.com.

 Hello Sarah,
 
 Here’s how I am able to rearrange columns in the classic view of Mail in 
 Mavericks 10.9.4. Thanks to John Panarese’ excellent macforthe blind.com 
 website for reminding me how to move focus to the header row.
 
 1. Interact with the messages list in Mail.
 2. Press VO+Shift+\ to move focus to the column headers.
 3. Press VO+left or right arrows to move focus to the “status” column header.
 4. Press VO+Command+Shift+Spacebar to perform a mouse-down click.
 5. Press VO+right or left arrow to move focus where you want to drop the 
 status column. VO will announce the name of each header as you move past it.
 6. When you’ve reached the desired location for your status column, press 
 VO+Command+Shift+Spacebar to perform a mouse-up. This should drop the column 
 in it’s new location.
 7. When you are done rearranging columns, press VO+Shift+\ to return focus 
 to the body of the messages list.
 
 HTH,
 Bryan

Re: Scanning with the Epson scanner and Fine Reader

2014-06-24 Thread Phil Halton
you read the scanned material in another app like Textedit. I have things setup 
so that when I finish a scan, FineReader converts the pages and then opens 
textedit with the scanned document for reading.
There is no facility for reading scanned documents inside FineReader as far as 
I know. It is just for scanning and converting to text.

Re: Crome

Sean, Control-option is  the VoiceOver modifier key. Control-command is the 
chromeVox modifier key. I know you knew that, but I thought that the 
information should be corrected for the benefit of others.

 Margaret,
 
 Chrome uses control option key to activate command options. If you press 
 cmd quickly twice  toggles between  on/off  sticky mode. This is the method 
 in which I use it.  Below are some commands to know:
 
 ctrl opt = - toggles between group, object, line, and word. This is the way 
 in which you control the amount of information you hear at once. I normally 
 use object and line.
 ctrl opt up/down arrows moves you through the page at the level of 
 information you want to hear.
 ctrl opt left and right arrow moves at the next lower level of information. 
 For example, if you are using Line. Then left/right arrow will move by word.
 ctrl opt . “period” brings up the list of available options with their 
 parameters.
 enter - activates a link or object.
 
 There is no form modes or the need to interact with the editable web 
 elements. Make sure you do not have the sticky mode enable when entering in 
 data. 
 
 You have to turn on table mode to navigate them by row, cel, column, etc.
 
 There are other options, but this will get you started.

That’s done in the formatter. when you select “number” from the popup, then you

I usually do this by selecting an entire column that is going to be used to

Re: Epson scanner

2014-06-18 Thread Phil Halton
I have and use the Epson V33 and it works great with Fine reader pro or 
express. I thought they were out of production, but I guess not - either that 
or yours is a left over. Either way for the price you can’t go wrong.. They’re 
all called photo scanners these days - it just means you can put a picture on 
the glass and scan it. It’s kind of like calling computers “digital computers”, 
its a marketing double speak thing.

Re: Epson scanner

2014-06-18 Thread Phil Halton
It’s not the scanner that determines quality of scan so much as the scanning 
software. Most all scanners are the same as far as DPI capability. As far as 
books and other materials, that’s also a function of the scanning software and 
is not dependent on the scanner. Finereader Pro does a good job of scanning 
complex documents like multiple columns and so forth.
And, I run the scanner completely from within the software interface of 
FineReader Pro. The scanner is pretty bare bones and has four buttons that I 
never bother with except for the power on/off button which has a little dimple 
on it for identification purposes.

 Also, when you’re scanning, do you use a button on the Mac keyboard, or a 
 button on the scanner itself?

Re: Bootcamp

2014-06-05 Thread Phil Halton
Fusion is an app that allows you to run other operating systems, like windows, 
on your Mac. It is a viable alternative to installing windows on the mac via 
the Bootcamp utility. 
With bootcamp, you have to split you hard disk into logical partitions and 
install the windows OS on one of those dedicated partitions, and then select 
which OS you want to run at boot up time. You’ll also need a sighted assistant 
to do the windows installation. 
With fusion, you don’t do any partitioning, and you don’t have to boot up into 
one or the other OS, you can just switch between Mac and Windows as you would 
switch between any other set of programs on your mac. Also, the installation 
can be done without sighted assistance. 
.

BTW: in the time it took you to chastise  the woman, you could have written out 
a simple paragraph explaining the basics of Fusion vs Bootcamp.
I also don’t care much for the “one-liner” type of answers. It reminds me of 
the people, kids mostly, who are just too cool to speak clearly and plainly, or 
give a full answer to a reasonable question. I mean, why bothering answering at 
all if you can’t give it a decent effort? A neighbor once told me when I was 
shoveling her walk, “just because you’re doing me a favor doesn’t mean you can 
do a crappy job”.
Oh well, just my two cents worth. I turn sixty in a few months and this is what 
happens when you get old and opinionated.

 to help by answering questions most often do so patiently despite this
 obvious lack of effort so it does not fit well with me when, fairly
 bizarrely,  people trying to help are criticised for lack of effort. I am
 happy to spoon feed information and if necessary consult Google and

Re: mac book air and bump ons

I use them on my MacBook air to identify the F and  J keys without any trouble.

Re: Fusion; OS X Grabbing Keyboard Control

2014-05-30 Thread Phil Halton
I always just press control+command+F to switch screen modes. then I hit the

I think that control+command is actually a command to grab/rrelease focus, and 
that’s why it works - don’t really know - it just works.

Re: Moving DropBox

2014-05-28 Thread Phil Halton
I’m coming to this thread late, but I just wanted to make sure you know that 
moving the dropbox  folder is done via the dropbox preferences, under the 
account tab. In that tab you can also  specify selective syncing where you 
choose what folders to sync. I also have a small SSD on my MBAir and so I tell 
dropbox to only sync a few critical folders from my total dropbox system. that 
way I only have  around 20GB of my total 50 GB dropbox folder on my MBAir.
Selective syncing requires sighted assistance as you have to check the 
checkboxes next to a folder and you can’t get the mouse there without at least 
having a little bit of sight.
, and using Zoom with mouse tracking etc.
I am currently using dropbox V2.8.2 and I get to the preferences by routing 
mouse to VO while on the dropbox extras menu item, then doing an option 
mousepad click to bring up the context menu and selecting “preferences” from 
the context menu.
 

On May 28, 2014, at 5:28 AM, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote:

 I went and checked the Inspector and the folder was indeed unlocked but,
 thinking about it,   this has to have been the case otherwise  the DropBox
 synch could not work as it should.
 
 I then thought give it another go.  You never know.
 Again the  DropBox app spent an hour transferring files before giving up the
 ghost saying I did not have sufficient permission to complete the task. This
 is a real annoyance as I have a small 256GB solid state primary drive and
 DropBox is unnecessarily hogging up a whole 60gb of this.
 
 I think a complete clean install of Maverick is probably my only course and
 hope that this time when I install DropBox that I can specify the DropBox
 folder location at install stage.

 sure. Just change the folder over in the drobox prefs. It will redownload

Re: help with windows problem on my mac.

2014-05-17 Thread Phil Halton
At the risk of sounding overly simplistic, have you tried rebooting windows? 
Sometimes weird stuff happens and rebooting is the inelegant  but effective 
solution. It could well be that the windows side speakers got muted somehow.

 I’ll give that a try first though before looking at other options. Sorry if 
 this is against rules on list but I thought it might be okay as my windows is 
 actually running from my mac computer.

Re: a question regarding pages and sections

2014-05-13 Thread Phil Halton
David, you’ve echoed my sentiments completely. I still use MS office on the 
dark side for document preparation. I’m trying to love Pages, but it isn’t 
happening just yet. I’ve found no Word processing app on the mac that can 
compete with my other options in the OS, and that’s a shame because I really do 
like working on the mac for most other things like iTunes, Email etc.

 Thank you for sharing your experiences with Pages, I guess you are blazing a
 trail for us but I am afraid  this is why I only use my Mac for basic
 document creation and finish off in the OS and Office software we are not
 allowed to discuss on this list. I have had similar problems with
 presentation and layout on the Mac side which I will not go into here but I
 do not trust the Mac side yet for things I produce for external scrutiny.
 
 I did hear somewhere that Microsoft Office for the Mac was to be completely
 rewritten, I think in Co Co as a native Mac App which raises the possibility
 that this may finally become an option accessible to Voiceover. If this
 happens and provides good options for us this may finally allow me to switch
 full time to a Mac environment.

 A quick update. Inserting a page brake worked, but when I  went to insert a
 section brake, It through me to page 22. not at the top where my cursers,
 all 3 of them were. This is starting to annoy me very quickly as this might
 be another bug in pages, but Im not sure. I don't think it's a picnic error
 though. 
 
 
 I even tried inserting a section after this page number, that is the one I
 was on, how ever it inserted it somewhere else. I really have no clue what
 I'm doing wrong but this is frustrating as it is happening to me 4 days
 before this is due. My content is still there though which is good.
 
 take care to all.
 Take care.

 Hi Sarah,
 Just to be clear, you need to make sure the keyboard cursor is at the top,
 not the VoiceOver cursor. Sometimes in Pages, particularly when tables or
 track changes get involved, the keyboard cursor and VoiceOver cursor get
 separated and are in different places. So it's not enough if just the
 VoiceOver cursor is at the top, but you need to make sure the keyboard
 cursor is too, and probably need to make sure you're interacting with the
 correct page. So once you've navigated to the top, just do VO-command-F4 to
 bring the keyboard cursor, and then interact. Hope this might help. If not,
 then I think I'm beat, sorry.

Re: New to list and seeking some guidance on the new Mac book air I have just purchased

2014-04-27 Thread Phil Halton
Your greatest friend for some time will be the VoiceOver help menu, accessed by 
pressing Control-Option H. Keyboard help is similar  to keyboard help mode in 
JAWS on the PC, and the Quick start guide at the bottom of the help menu is the 
VoiceOver users manual. The users manual is an HTML system that you read in 
Safari, so it’ll help you  get used to working in Safari just by reading the 
excellent manual.
I strongly suggest you read it thoroughly, then read it again… and again… until 
you feel like you know VoiceOver inside and out. It’s your screen reader, so it 
makes sense to get to know all its features as soon as possible.

Good luck and happy reading.

 Hello, I am new to this list. It was recommended to me by, someone on an iOS 
 blind listserv. I have just taken the plunge, and moving from a PC computer, 
 to the Mac book air. I have taken the tutorial on voice over. It explained 
 some of the key commands that would be very helpful. 
 
 I am finding that my first frustration, or challenge, is to navigate the web. 
 Using Safari, and using the limited voiceover commands that I learned in the 
 tutorial, has proven not very helpful. I have a tendency, to not know where I 
 am navigating too, how to get out of a window, close the window, go back 
 where I was, or simply delete something.
 
 I realize there is a lot to learn. And one email, is not going to solve all 
 of my challenges. So, could people reply with what they feel, would be the 
 top four or five key commands I should know to navigate in a web environment. 
 Using Safari. Or recommendations for other web browsers? It will be a 
 wonderful place, to start. Thank you

Re: the MainStage 3 app for the mac

2014-04-22 Thread Phil Halton
Afraid I don’t know, the jam packs  install themselves and they contain many 
synths as well as loops.
As to the initial MainStage screens, I forget how I did it, it wasn’t all that 
impossible though. I suggest a little sighted help with this one if necessary.
As I recall, one sticking point was the app downloading some initial 
loops/synths  and not telling me what it was doing. I had no way to know that 
it was doing its business and that I should wait a while. it took a  while  to 
bring down the initial 2GB of stuff. Once the initial download was complete, 
there was a instrument selection screen where it wanted me to choose a midi 
instrument, like a connected keyboard or something. I didn’t have a connected 
midi instrument and so clicking around got me past that initial setup screen. I 
then went into the menus and found options for downloading additional content 
(the jam packs) and selected everything and just let it go crazy downloading 
stuff - took hours- so do it before calling it a day and it should be done win 
the morning.

good luck

 For the last 3 months my repeated attempts to upgrade to Mavericks had
 crashed at the authorisation stage with a message saying Apple had received
 a report of this problem.
 To be fair to Apple it appeared that they have repaired the bug which, for
 whatever reason, was preventing my upgrade from ML.
 
 Last night I was prompted yet again to upgrade by  Software update and this
 time everything appears to  have gone very smoothly.
 I came down this morning after leaving the process running and I was able to
 log into the new OS easily.
 I have been using the new OS for less than an hour and I have not
 investigated  much but so far none of the difficulties others have
 experienced in the past apply to me.
 I opened Safari and if anything appears snappier than under ML and I have
 not yet experienced any busy messages.
 TextEdit and Mail have been equally snappy. I have so far only 2 issues with
 using Mail.
 The Mac is annoying me by announcing new emails as notifications of new
 emails as I am typing. There also appears to be an initial problem with
 using option arrow keys to navigate by word. Hopefully the latter will clear
 when I reopen Mail and hopefully there is a way of turning notifications
 off.
 I certainly do not have any issues with Finder busy at the moment, which is
 a relief as I use Finder in column view. I love this view and I had been
 given to understand it does not work well under Mavericks. for me however it
 appears fine.
 I thought I would report upon what has been a positive upgrade experience so
 far.

 crashed at the authorisation stage with a message saying Apple had received
 a report of this problem.
 To be fair to Apple it appeared that they have repaired the bug which, for
 whatever reason, was preventing my upgrade from ML.
 
 Last night I was prompted yet again to upgrade by  Software update and this
 time everything appears to  have gone very smoothly.
 I came down this morning after leaving the process running and I was able to
 log into the new OS easily.
 I have been using the new OS for less than an hour and I have not
 investigated  much but so far none of the difficulties others have
 experienced in the past apply to me.
 I opened Safari and if anything appears snappier than under ML and I have
 not yet experienced any busy messages.
 TextEdit and Mail have been equally snappy. I have so far only 2 issues with
 using Mail.
 The Mac is annoying me by announcing new emails as notifications of new
 emails as I am typing. There also appears to be an initial problem with
 using option arrow keys to navigate by word. Hopefully the latter will clear
 when I reopen Mail and hopefully there is a way of turning notifications
 off.
 I certainly do not have any issues with Finder busy at the moment, which is
 a relief as I use Finder in column view. I love this view and I had been
 given to understand it does not work well under Mavericks. for me however it
 appears fine.
 I thought I would report upon what has been a positive upgrade experience so
 far.

 I think the idea of a Mac right click is probably out of place. I think you
 will find that the original Apple Mouse did not have a right mouse button
 but a single click button on the top. The addition of a right button was a
 Windows innovation. This is why there is no such thing as a right click
 within the operating system, but instead control click, as you say brings up
 the context menu.
 
 Having said that if you plug a Windows two button mouse into the modern Mac
 OS the right button will, I believe,  emulate a control click.
 
 From the standpoint of Voiceover however you will not, as far as I am aware
 find anything resembling a right click. Shift VO M  will bring up the
 context menu in the same way as control click.

Re: Magnification with Mac

2014-03-13 Thread Phil Halton
Turn on magnification with Command+option+8. Once mag is on, Increase and 
decrease magnification with command+option+ equals  sign (=), and minus sign 
(-) respectively.
First, make sure magnification (zoom) is enabled in accessibility options in 
system preferences. There are setting there for how the screen reacts to mouse 
and cursor movement etc.

Re: OCR Apps

2014-03-11 Thread Phil Halton
You really can’t go wrong with ABBYY FineReader Pro. it is highly accessible 
and easy to use - highly accurate results as well. coupled with any Epson 
scanner and you’ve got a winning combination.
I have an inexpensive Epson perfection V33 scanner - nothing special - it just 
works and it is supported by fine reader pro. I used to use ABBYY on windows, 
and when it came out for the Mac I jumped on it and am perfectly satisfied, 
especially with the price being, I can’t remember, around $60 I believe. when 
purchased off their website

 Hello Alberto,
 
 I’ve had good success with both the older ABBYY FineReader Express and the 
 recently released ABBYY FineReader Pro (FRP). I find most buttons and other 
 controls to be properly accessible with VO. I also find the workflow to be 
 fairly intuitive. I am running the latest version of FRP on a 2013 MBA with 
 scans coming over Wi-Fi from a Canon PIXMA MX922. In the last few months FRP 
 has successfully scanned and converted a few thousand pages of snail mail, 
 bills, books, and even the (sadly inaccurate) fortune from a fortune cookie. 
 I have no problems scanning from either the Canon’s flatbed or it’s 
 sheet-feeder, and even the sheet-feeder’s duplex function has worked 
 seamlessly. Converting digital files is also a straightforward process. 
 While I haven’t actually timed it, my impression is the OCR process is 
 quicker in FRP than it was in FR Express. FRP runs the OCR process locally 
 and is one of the few applications that will actually cause my MBA’s fan to 
 kick into high gear. If I know I’m going to be performing a big OCR process, 
 such as converting a 500 page PDF file or scanning and converting a stack of 
 bills, I will normally start the process and leave the computer alone for a 
 while while it’s doing the OCR magic.
 
 Having said all that, I would of course strongly recommend getting hold of a 
 demo and testing to make sure it works with your Mac and scanner.
 
 YMMV,
 HTH,
 Bryan

Re: Backing up with Superduper

2014-03-10 Thread Phil Halton
I’ve encountered this problem as well, and the solution is to use the tab and 
spacebar keys, and don’t, repeat, do not use the vo arrow keys to navigate in 
the scheduler. At least in the boxes where you check off what days to schedule, 
using the vo keys to navigate cause the boxes to automatically check when you

press spacebar on it. Strange I know, but that’s the deal.

 Hi!
 
 I've just ordered a cheap AirPlay system made by Tompson which seems to offer 
 a lot of bang for the buck, one of the things that attracted me to this 
 system was its versatile connectivity functionality, is the first I've seen 
 that can either use AirPlay or Bluetooth for streaming, the unit also boasts 
 a USB connection for either an IOS device or a standard drive.
 
 The specs for the audio seem pretty good, 60 Watts RMS, - 15 per channel and 
 30 for the sub-woofer.
 
 The test will be when the unit arrives next week and I can put it through its 
 paces, will write more about it then.

Re: Really odd Issue With Mac And Spacebar

2014-01-23 Thread Phil Halton
sometimes keys get stuck. I don't know if this is your problem, but sometimes 
the option or shift key acts like its being held down and the solution i have 
found is to repeatedly press the key - like a flurry of rapid keystrokes hoping 
to unstick the key. It works more times than not. I have noticed this more on 
the windows side in my VM, but maybe - just maybe - its worth a try.

 Now and then, if I forget to use the modifier key,  kind of system window 
 which Lynne says looks like the window that you sometimes get if you 
 right-click on an object or similar, using the physical trackpad or a mouse.

Re: Downloading youtube videos.

2014-01-01 Thread Phil Halton
If your security settings are set to only allow apps from approved sites (or 
something  like that), it won't run when you press command O, or command down 
arrow. instead, you need to select open from the contet menu. Once you open it 
that way, it'll install and run normally from then on - it's a security measure.

Re: The preferences in GarageBand

2013-12-24 Thread Phil Halton
I use GB primarily for audio recording - not so much software synths. it is 
highly accessible for audio recording, although a little weird at first. 

To load a different synth in your software track, you need to uninteract with 
everything and get to the top level. Then open the info pane with command I if 
it isn't already open. then, in there, you'll find a list browser that you can 
interact with and try out different instruments. GB comes with a bunch of 
pre-installed synths, and you don't really need anything more at first until 
you get good at using what's already there.

There is a Layout area that contains all your track headers and tracks, along 
with some other stuff. you have to uninteract with that layout area in order to 
get to the info pane - it will appear at the same level as your record button 
etc.

I don't have the exact details in front of me, and am working from memory. 
browse around in the info pane and you should find the list browser that 
contains the synths.

If you want another audio editing app that seems a little more intuitive to 
use, Amadeus Pro is the way to go, although, I can do any audio recording and 
editing I want in GB - its just a matter of learning the tricks.

 Ok Phil - mouse clicking works in the preferences. Thanks.
 
 I still need confirmation as to if the preinstalled version of GarageBand 
 only comes with the software piano, and if other instruments need to be 
 downloaded, and if so, how can I get to where I can instigate the download, 
 and if not, how do I get them to play in the way I can get the piano to play?
 
 When I first bought this Mac, I'm sure I read on list that GB was accessible 
 and that listers were using it, but now, apart from your good self, all is 
 quiet on the GB help front, and if I can't move on from here, would like to 
 know what others use instead of GB that has good accessability?

Re: The preferences in GarageBand

2013-12-24 Thread Phil Halton
We are talking about the musical keyboard that is opened with command shift K 
in GB, not an external MIDI keyboard.
At any rate, the lr shortcut is a non-essential. The problem mainly is 
getting around in GB for the first time - it isn't intuitive at all and takes 
some patience before becoming familiar with the layout and its operation.

 Ok Phil - mouse clicking works in the preferences. Thanks.
 
 I still need confirmation as to if the preinstalled version of GarageBand 
 only comes with the software piano, and if other instruments need to be 
 downloaded, and if so, how can I get to where I can instigate the download, 
 and if not, how do I get them to play in the way I can get the piano to play?
 
 When I first bought this Mac, I'm sure I read on list that GB was accessible 
 and that listers were using it, but now, apart from your good self, all is 
 quiet on the GB help front, and if I can't move on from here, would like to 
 know what others use instead of GB that has good accessability?

BTW: if you are using the version of GB before the new one that came out with 
Mavericks, I.E. V6.05, then these podcasts are for you.
I understand that the new  GB under mavericks
 kind of sucks and is quite different with a good deal of accessibility broken. 
I wouldnt suggest upgrading from V6.05 any time soon.

I can't help with the new GB - I'm still using the older V6.05
As far as working and getting started in GB, there are many podcasts on the 
subject, however, they all deal with the older version. I'm not sure how much 
the new GB differs, but you can probably get a good idea from these podcasts.

check www.AppleToTheCore.info

 Because I think, that this is a very big issue and makes work with documents

Re: Mavericks - Is it now time to upgrade?

2013-12-17 Thread Phil Halton
David, like you, I used to use column browser mode almost exclusively unless I 
needed to see the date or size of a file.
Then I found that list view is just as flexible as column view. you can use the 
arrow keys by themselves to open and close folders. you don't need to use the 
command O or command down arrow keystrokes to open a folder unless you want to 
make it the current folder for pasting etc.
So, its really just as flexible as column view, with the added benefit of 
having access to the file meta data  that isn't there in column view.

VO left and right arrows will move across the meta data, while left and right 
arrows alone will open and close a subfolder. Check it out, you might grow to 
like it.

Re: VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS

2013-12-16 Thread Phil Halton
Okay, When I started having this problem in july or august of 2012 after buying 
my first Mac, I used to mess around with the volume buttons, and try turning VO 
off and on a couple of times. Eventually, maybe after a few minutes, VO would 
come up talking. I asked about this problem on the list and Ricardo Walker 
suggested hitting Command F5 four times in quick succession. I don't know how  
he came  up with that strategy, but it worked, and has continued to work every 
time VO flakes out on me after a good nights sleep.

I don't know about five times, maybe that's a typo. Pretty soon there'll be a 
whole mythology about the number of times to hit command F5, with different 
camps a spousing different numbers…

 hours asleep. Pressing command+F5 does not help so I have to power-off and 
 then power-on again to restore VO. 
 I recall reading in this forum that you can often recover VO by quickly 
 pressing command+F5 several times but I cannot remember how many times and 
 whether I have to wait a bit after the requisite number of presses before VO 
 will start speaking again. 
 I would appreciate any guidance on how to restart VO on Mac OS if VO goes 
 mute. 
 Many thanks

Re: Mountain Lion Safari; Pages have Stopped Interacting when opened.

2013-12-11 Thread Phil Halton
this is a known bug in safari . there is a podcast detailing the problem on 
applevis.com

a search on that website for safari will probably bring it up.

   I've done something I did not intend to do but am not

   When I go to an address in safari, I no longer hear the

 though I went in to the voiceover menu, selected the web row
 which happens to be Row 5 in the table and selected for it to
 read the page upon opening.
 
   Right now, I open a page and then need to move over to
 the html document, interact with that and it works.
 
   If one resets safari, the next attempt to open a page
 works with the page opening automatically but all subsequent
 opens require one to use the VO-arrows to find the html link and
 interact with it.
 
   I just upgraded to Mountain Lion 3 days ago and it was
 working fine so I know I killed something probably while
 attempting to adjust something else.

 but I can't seem to do that. Some of the older garage band tutorials were 
 using the perevious version of Garage Band, so it's hard for me to follow 
 their directions because the older version's layout is very different from 
 this one, and I don't have any experience with the older versions.
 Can anybody who has experience with this help me out? Maybe I just don't 
 know where to drag and drop the tracks, or maybe there's a voiceover trick 
 I can't figure out? I've also tried just copying and pasting the loop into

 could still look at it and help me out?
 Thoughts?

Re: I need a VO accessible metronome or beeping app

2013-12-03 Thread Phil Halton
Tempo Perfect by nch software is an excellent metronome for the IOS platform. 
They probably have a version for Mac OSX as well. Of course, it deals with 
beats per minute, not revolutions per minute, but that's not a big problem as I 
think you just want a steady beat that can be adjusted faster or slower.

Re: help with setting up vm ware?

2013-11-21 Thread Phil Halton
Mathew, I use Jaws in windows7 in VMWare under mountain lion, and will probably 
not be upgrading anytime soon either. One thing you'll need to be aware of when 
installing and using Jaws is the need to modify some setting to have access to 
an insert key, or a caps lock key for jaws in laptop keyboard mode. If you have 
a full-sized apple keyboard, this is not a problem because that keyboard has an 
insert key, and you can run jaws in PC keyboard mode. The caps lock is 
unavailable because apple doesn't treat it like a key press but handles it 
differently, and it doesn't get passed along to windows - making it unavailable 
as a jaws modifier key.

What I've done, and what a lot of people do, is to use a freeware windows  
program called sharp keys to assign the grave accent key to act as a caps lock 
key, and then set jaws to run in laptop keyboard mode with the caps lock (now 
the grave accent key) as the jaws modifier key.
. 

another way, probably the better way, is to set up VMWare to substitute an 
insert key for the caps lock key, so that when you press capslock, vmware sends 
an insert key to windows. 
I've forgotten how that's done in vmware now, but it's fairly simple. probably 
a lot simpler than the sharp keys method and the third option that I won't 
mention here now.

The only drawback to the last method is that you lose one Jaws command, the 
command is insert+J, which has a conflict that causes it to be unusable. 
However, pressing control left arrow does the same thing as insert + j and so 
it doesn't really matter.

Sorry I can't give accurate directions on how to set up an insert key from 
within vmware, I'm sure someone here will tell you if you ask.

Re: iText Express And Other Text Editors

2013-11-20 Thread Phil Halton
speaking of iText Express, I installed it yesterday and can't seem to get very 
far with it. The search function wasn't cooperating at all, and although I 
haven't gone through the help file yet, it seemed kind of quirky.

 Hi!
 
 Playing around with iText got me wondering if the Bean word processor/text

 free text editing tool with many of the functions found in iText Express.

Re: battery status

2013-11-19 Thread Phil Halton
there's a podcast on Applevis.com about a battery app that deals with all 
things battery. David Woodbridge did the podcast, and a search on the site for 
battery will probably bring it up.

 Hi, 
 
 When I first got my MBA about 2 1/2 months ago, I had the same question.
 Over the weekend, I finally got my first alert when the MBA went down to 5%.
 So, you stated that you were plugging in at 7%, which would not trip the
 alert. I have no idea if this alert can be changed like increasing it to
 10%. I was wondering if other more seasoned Mac users can chime in on how to
 configure the battery alert percentage to be increased or to have a shortcut

Re: Shopping Lists was Using Pages On My iPon

2013-11-07 Thread Phil Halton
I bring the iPhone along with  me when I go shopping. I simply open the 
reminders app and select the list I want. Then, as I walk through the store 
with the iPhone in my hand,  I run my finger down the list (or flick right and 
left) to hear its contents. no need to print or email anything.  And, if I have 
a sighted assistant helping me find the items, they also hear the items read 
aloud and that helps us to work together as a team so to speak. 
You can tell siri to show grocery list, for example, but opening the list in 
reminders gives more  flexibility in using the list. For example, you can check 
off,or delete the items from the list as you go - -something not possible when 
the list is simply shown.
I think we're expecting a level of complexity that simply isn't there.  After 
all, why print out the list when you can simply carry it with you, checking off 
items as you go?

As an aside, when adding items to your list as you think of them, if siri gets 
it wrong,  you can interact with her and tell her to change title. then, 
re-speak the item name. Siri will ask confirmation of your item and then add it 
to the list. It's a lot easier for me now to add items to my various lists as I 
think of them, wherever I may be. No more sitting down and trying to come up 
with a complete list (which inevitably  lacks one or two items).
 On Nov 6, 2013, at 9:11 PM, Geoff Waaler geoff.waa...@gmail.com wrote:

 Greetings Dane and list,
 
 First of all, thanks Phil for the suggestion.  I knew that the reminders app 
 was powerful, but I'd never looked at lists.  Now from preliminary testing, I 
 have a few suggestions for retrieving the list data.
 
 1. Tell siri something like: show my grocery list.
 
 2. go into reminders - list name.
 
 Hopefully someone can come up with a better suggestion, but it appears to me 
 that in order to eMail or print, you would need to traverse your list item by 
 item and select and paste.  The three finger quadruple tap gesture introduced 
 in IOS7 will speed up the process of copying the items, but I can see where 
 this method would involve a lot of toggling around between Mail and Reminders 
 if the list gets long.  Siri will read multiple items though, hence the 
 gesture referenced above may save a lot more time.
 
 As for printing, I use an app called PrinterPro by Readdle.com.  This app 
 supports printing from the clipboard, texts, or eMail messages.
 
 Best regards.
 Geoff

 Using Siri, you can use the add keyword to add items to your list, and

 Example:
 add eggs, butter, bread and milk to grocery list.

 that will put a reminder in the grocery list that says eggs, butter,

 As long as siri is up and running this method is so quick and easy that I 
 don't bother with writing out lists in textedit or the notes program 
 anymore.
 The important thing is to use the keyword add, and the name of the list 
 in a phrase like to shopping list.
 
 It really works well and is just  something you might want to consider.

 There are sections of the formatting screen that Voiceover doesn't read out 
 though I know they're there as I can hear Voiceover skipping over what 
 appears to be buttons so perhaps the bulleted and numbered list items are 
 amongst those things which Voiceover isn't reading? If that's the case then 
 I' wonder if there's a way of say labeling those parts that Voiceover isn't

 I suppose - if worst comes to worst - I can just run back to one of the 3 Mac 
 machines I have here, run the Pages App  and do the numbering format from 
 there.

Re: checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

2013-10-17 Thread Phil Halton
Actually, command shift comma won't get you into the preferences window for 
safari. just use  command comma.

Another way to find edit boxes in a safari webpage is to turn on quicknav, and 
press the letter f for form fields, then turn off quickNav in order to type 
in the edit field
each press of f while in quicknav will move you to the next form field, with 
shift f moving you back to the previous field.
Quick Nav  is turned on and off by pressing the left and right  arrows 
simultaneously. .

 I've clicked on blog admin, on dashboard, on profile, and on personal, but 
 no sign of that edit box for visiual editor.
 
 The layout is a bit strange, in that there are things on the screen that 
 using vo f to search for, doesn't bring up any results, but just tabbing 
 does find things that the search feature doesn't, but still there is no

 But the interesting part for me is the actual installation process of 
 wordpress on your own server or provider's site if PHP is functional.  How, 
 for instance, do you create your database?  Do you use MAMP or something

 Actually I would not do wordpress.com I had to set up something with someone 
 and I couldn't.  You cannot upload files larger then I think it's 10 meg, you 
 have to pay for storage.  It's a lot cheaper on my opinion to go self hosted 
 and host a wordpress site that you instllinstall yourself on your web 
 provider.  Many of my podcasts are over 10 mb in size, sometimes being 500 mb 
 but that's rare.

I have no agenda here, I just want complete information. It occurs to me after 
reading this thread that a lack of precision and attention to details make us 
ineffective communicators, and so, less helpful on this list than we might 
otherwise be. A little thought as to what we are trying to say before firing 
off the message can make a big difference on how it is received. We're all

 iTunes is crashing on me as well. I've rebooted the phone and taken it

 Hi all -
 
 Each time I double tap on the iTunes store icon on the home screen of 
 my iPhone, it refuses to open, and VO just says double tap to open. 
 Everything else seems to be ok. All apps and ios versions are up to 
 date. Any thoughts? -
