Re: Independant AppleTV setup?

[Geoff Waaler]

Joe,

I believe this is the one I have.  If so there are some button controls on the 
side, but you can switch inputs with the touch of one button on the remote 
(once you know which one, that is).

  During my quick perusal of Amazon just now, they all appeared to be within 
about $40 of each other.

  Best regards.
  Geoff

I have no light perception, yet can easily set up an Apple-TV without 
sighted assistance after learning how to change inputs on my TV.  The 
first step is to set the tv's input to HDMI, and connect the ATV 
accordingly.  The last step is to plug in the ATV and wait about 20 
seconds.  Samantha will then speak through your tv admonishing you to 
press the lower right hand button on the remote three times to enable

Re: Trouble setting up Dropbox

[Gordon Smith]

James

Drop box won't work like that in Lion. You have to open the package and then 
find the app under the contents/Mac OS folder and do it that way. If you've 
already installed it you'll have to remove the log-in item.

That is assuming you aren't running a later version than I have here, which was 
a beta released about 10 days ago.

Re: So sorry for confusion on drop box

[Geoff Waaler]

Greetings Michael,

The dropbox folder behaves like any other folder; you can move files around and 
create subfolders as though you're dealing with your local drive.  The only 
difference (besides the obvious one that files will take longer to synchronize) 
is that when you press vo-shift-m to bring up the shortcut menu on a folder or 
file within your dropbox, you will notice a menu selection labeled "dropbox" 
which has a submenu consisting of all applicable options.

HTH.

Re: Trouble setting up Dropbox

[Geoff Waaler]

Mike,

I've never needed to start the dropbox app, but have access to the folder in my 
home directory.  As I recall, my folder did not reflect the actual contents 
until I rebooted for the first time.

HTH.
Geoff

  Hi, I have a different problem with drop box.

  I installed it and it launches. However, when I try to get into the file I
  can't access the directory.

  It says drop box when I am on my desktop but it says drop box has no active
  windows. When I get that message I can't get into applications or anything
  else unless I go to my dock and launch a program.

  Anyone have any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

Re: Trouble setting up Dropbox

Hi James,

This makes no sense, but Annie recently mentioned that she successfully 
installed by running the dropbox.app file from the disk image rather than 
copying it to the applications folder.  This made all the difference for me -- 
I never tried it from terminal, but was never presented with the prompts until 
I launched it from the disk image.

Best regards.

iTunes doesn't see the device. You don't configure it that way. Write me

The remote appears to have three large buttons with two buttoney looking things

 You don't need the UsB port. You plug the Apple TV into your network, or 
configure its wifi network and the software is downloaded via the Internet.

Re: Independant AppleTV setup?

[Geoff Waaler]

Hi Lynne,

Thanks much for the info.  I understand that IOS5 will render it possible to 
update without need to connect to iTunes, but until then, how is this done if 
the USB port is unavailable?

  If it is indeed possible to connect to iTunes I assume I could enable 
voiceOver via the "configure universal access" dialog in iTunes?  Are you 
saying that its possible to turn VO on via the remote?  Sorry if I totally 
misinterpreted your post.  I guess the bottom line question is how I can attach 
to iTunes without the USB cable?

  Best regards.
  Geoff

  hello Geoff

  Yes, this is correct; but you can do all of your iOS updates via iTunes. You 
can configure Apple TV using the supplied remote.

  We plan to do a podcast on this shortly, when Gordon is up to it.

Re: Monitor Wi-Fi with Lion's hidden tool

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Hello Sarah

This is a bit of a falsehood I think because you can get all of the statistical 
info in this tool via Airport utility>manual setup>advanced>logs and 
statistics. I've seen this thing floating around on the internet for a few 
weeks, and it really isn't anything spectacular.

Re: Microsoft word

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

hello Mike

No, Microsoft products don't word with VoiceOver. I suggest Nisus Writer Pro 
 for Word document best compatibility.

They also work with Pages, but it's slow and a it clunky in my experience. 
Nisus is a far better bet for working with Word documents as you have far 
better control over what's actually presented where.

As I have vision, this applies with and without VoiceOver. I try to use 
VoiceOver as often as I can because I want to understand the way things work. 
Anyway I suggest Nisus although I'm sure others will put forward other 
solutions. That is the diversity of this group, you will always get a range of 
options.

Re: VMWare Fusion 4.01

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Michael

Remember that the configuration of Windows apps is off topic. But you're fine 
with the VM configuration itself since that is Mac.

We have 8GB memory and we allocate 4GB to Windows 7 64-bit. That is about 
right, since 64-bit requires more RAM than the standard 32-bit.

Anyone know anything about Samba?

[Dónal Fitzpatrick]

Evening folks,

I'm having a very strange problem under Lion.  I'm trying to connect to a Linux 
server over Samba.  This is working, but the problem is that the volume 
reports, or rather my Mac interprets, the permissions on the samba-share such 
that I don't have permission to open it.  It's authenticating fine.  Anyone any 
thoughts?  This works fine under SL and various flavours of windows.

Thanks much,

Dónal

Important Change To List Policy; Please Read!

[Gordon & Lynne]

Hello everybody

In the light of a likely aggressive spam address managing to subscribe to one 
of our groups recently, Gordon has now modified the policy regarding new 
subscribers joining the list. Rather than the usual simple confirmation, new 
subscribers must now also be approved by either us or one of the assistant list 
controllers before they are permitted to join the group.

Obviously as you're currently subscribed this won't affect you' but should you 
ever leave and then wish to return, it's something you'll need to know about.

As a side issue, we have recently had several members leave the group when 
they've gone on holiday, (vacation), and didn't want their mailboxes cluttered 
upon their return.

Unsubscribing isn't necessary to prevent this; all you have to do is send an 
email to the server with the appropriate commands to turn of delivery until 
your return. if you'd like to know how to do this, either read the help 
document at  or contact us for 
further information.

We regret the change, but as a result of us opting to use Google to provide a 
second archive page for list traffic, we believe that it has compromised our 
security somewhat and so we've had to take this decision now, before things got 
out of control.

We are also looking at whether it's worth continuing to use Google as a second 
archive provider; if anybody uses that archive or if anybody has any views on 
that we'd love to hear them (off list).

We will shortly be compartmentalising the support addresses we use for each 
network, so stand by for a message to that effect as well. But for now, please 
use 

Gordon is home now although still very delicate. We are taking the opportunity 
while his activity is restricted to discuss this and other things which we are 
planning. We hope to bring you more news shortly.

We will update the list policy document accordingly, to reflect this change in 
policy which, we regret, we think will now have to remain permanent.

Lynne

Independant AppleTV setup?

[Geoff Waaler]

Greetings all,

I'm expecting an Apple tv shortly, and recall reading that the mini USB port is 
not intended for use by consumers.  Is this correct?

If so, presumably it's not possible to update the IOS version and I will not be 
able to use it out of the box without getting someone to go into settings -> 
general -> accessibility?

TIA for any clarification and best regards.

Re: VMWare Fusion 4.01

[Sean Murphy]

Hi All.

Firstly, if you have VMWare tools installed. Then you can copy files or text 
from the host to Guess OS and visa versa. This is available in 3.xx. Just use 
the copy paste commands keystrokes for the relevant OS. Note, the feature works 
for any Guess OS that is running in VMWare as long as VMWare tools is installed.

In relation to best setup settings.

1. Do not configure your VMWare to take more then 50% of your RAM. In fact, the 
VMWare site states you should have less then 50% of your memory allocated to 
the VMWare guess OS.

2. VMWare also stated that if you have a multi-core processor. Then only use 
one core for the Guess. Since the MAC OS has issues with syncing threads and 
other functionality between multiple cores. I am not sure if this is valid for 
Lion. 

3. If you have only 4 gb of RAM. Buy more and upgrade to 8 mb at least. This 
will make a major difference in performance.

5. The GUI interface is very accessible. So you should not have any issues with 
changing parameters.

5. Store your data in a shared VMWare directory and sync the documents and 
desktop. By having it on the MAc drive. Not in the VMWare environment. You will 
maintain reliability.

6. Do not use 2 gb files setting. This can slow down the performance of the 
VMWare. I do not know if this has been improved within 4.0. This came from our 
internal I.T people at work.

Other then the above tips. I don't think there is anything else of major 
concern.

RE: Microsoft word

[Gail the U. S. Male]

Mike, from what I understand, from other posts, the Microsoft office
products are not accessible.  If you're using a Mac, Pages will handle word
documents.  HTH

Re: Having two different programs run at the same time

I use pages and text edit all the time.  I just command-tab between the two.

I need to know if this is possible and if so how is this done?

I tried to minimize but it seems like I can't get to anything else but the
primary window.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Having two different programs run at the same time

[Paul Hopewell]

Hi Mike, 
YOu can certainly have a textedit window and a pages window open at the same 
time. YOu can use Command+Tab to switch between them. YOU can use cut and paste 
to copy or move text from pages to textedit or vice versa. Or are you asking 
for something more than this?

Re: Jail break iPhone - what does it mean?

[Paul Hopewell]

Hi Sarah, 
thanks for that. One last question. If I jail break my iPhone can it still sync 
with iTunes to update music and audio books on the Jail broke iPhone? Would 
Jail break affect the iPhone apps already installed from the iTunes store?
Many thanks.
