Re: MS Playing Catch-Up!
On the second point Microsoft have actually reduced the price of Windows, not by enough I grant you but at least they have, over here you can buy a Windows 7 Home Premium family Pack for $150.00, that gives you a licence for 3 machines. Again, not nearly as flexible as it should be and not nearly cheap enough but at least Microsoft and other company's are getting the message and at least you get a DVD ROM of the software, I've not seen n OSX Lion DVD ROM as yet.

Re: Steve Jobs; Let Us Never Forget!
Hi All, Since a friend just forwarded to me an email that his wife sent to their son, telling him to watch the talk he gave at the 2005 Stanford University Commencement on how to live before you die, and referencing the TED web page (where this appears as a flash video), I thought some of you might want to listen to this yourselves. These are available as both audio and video podcasts in iTunes U, and I listened to this talk when I downloaded it a few years ago. I'll give you the episode links below, but they may wrap, and focus may not go directly to the old episodes in question. So the easier way to find these from iTunes is to use VO-M or Control-F2 to navigate to the menu bar, then press s t to move to the Store menu, then arrow down and press s to move to the Search… option and press return. You'll be switched to the iTunes Store Power Search page. Bring up item chooser menu (with VO-I) and press p o w to find the Power Search link and press return to navigate there. Then VO-Right arrow (or use the Right arrow of QuickNav, or flick right if you are using Trackpad Commander) to the All Results pop-up button, press it (with VO-Space or by simultaneously pressing the up and down arrow keys if you use QuickNav, or by double tapping if you use Trackpad Commander), and set the pop up to iTunes U by pressing i followed by Return. Navigate (VO-Right arrow, or right arrow in QuickNav mode, or flick right in TrackPad Commander) to the title text field, VO-Space in the field to activate it for editing, or press the up and down arrow keys in QuickNav, or double tap in TrackPad Commander. Then type in Commencement. Then navigate past the description text field to the institution text field, activate that field for editing, and type in Stanford and press Return to run the search. Navigate to the table. The first row entry will be the video podcast version of Steve Jobs' 2005 Commencement speech, and the second row entry will be the audio podcast version. Navigate to the Free Episode button for the podcast and VO-Space to download the podcast. If you only want to play it from iTunes, just VO-Space on the first button of the entry row you want. The downloaded podcast will be in the iTunes U section of your library, so you have to select it in the sources table, by interacting with the table, then navigating (e.g. with VO-Down arrow or by typing the first few letters of iTunes U) to iTunes U. Highlight iTunes U by clicking with VO-Shift-Space. (If you don't have your Mouse Cursor set to follow your VoiceOver cursor in your VoiceOver Utility navigation settings, you may have to first route your Mouse Cursor to your VoiceOver cursor with VO-Command-F5 before clicking to highlight with VO-Shift-Space.) Then jump to the associated songs table with VO-Command-T. Navigate to the Commencement series entry, and highlight it by clicking with VO-Shift-Space. Use Option+Right arrow to expand the series, then find your episode and start playing by pressing space bar. I might first navigate to the search text field (with Command-Option-F) and type in Steve Jobs to limit the displayed entries in the songs table to matches to that search term. HTH. It's a very inspirational podcast about how to live and make choices.

Re: Printing from my Ipad
Hi Dane, I noticed that Print Agent Pro, the app that I used to print from Dropbox for Air Print Compatible printers, is 50% off for October 6 purchases. This is true of all apps by the developer, Dar-Soft. Here's the link • Print Agent Pro for iPad ($2.99 -- usually $5.99) by Dar-Soft http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/print-agent-pro-for-ipad/id421782942?mt=8 Note that I've only tried this app with an Airprint supported printer, and AppAdvice claims that you can't use this app to print to a WiFi printer that is not AIrprint compatible. See their App Guide on Printer Apps: http://appadvice.com/appguides/show/printing As I said earlier, you might want to check Readdle's Lite version of their Printer app for compatibility with other printers, but this should work with Dane's configuration. Dar-Soft also has an iPhone version of this app. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Sep 30, 2011, at 08:19, Dane Trethowan wrote: Hi! You mentioned Evernote in some of the Air Print compatible apps for Iphone/ipad, have you ever used this? I used Evernote ever so briefly on the Mac platform and it was one of those projects I must continue to investigate, if you get an Evernote Pro account OCR can be performed on images you upload thus turning the images into text files or notes, I'd have to read the whole Evernote thing again as OCR is just one of the many features that this service provides apart from the obvious, keeping track of your notes, saving web pages for your convenience and so on. On 29/09/2011, at 7:13 AM, Esther wrote: Hi Dane, Airprint works with a variety of apps on your iPad, including Safari, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iBooks (for PDF files -- not ePub), Instapaper, Evernote, Readdle Docs for iPad, Nebulous Notes (the note-taking app I posted about last week when it went free), Elements, and others. HP has a list of Airprint compatible apps in PDF format that you can download, but it's somewhat old: http://www.hp.com/sbso/printing/mac/list-airprint-compatible-apps.pdf There are also some apps that are supposed to enable printing to non-Airprint printers. I took a chance on an app called Print Agent Pro for iPad by Dar-Soft that has been see-sawing in price between the regular $5.99 and $2.99 sale price over much of August and September. This app lets me send text documents in my Dropbox app to Print Agent Pro, and then use the print dialogue within the Print Agent Pro app to send it to an Airprint compatible printer. There may be better solutions, and Readdle's Printer Pro app is supposed to be very good. (But I missed that sale.) Here's the page listing Printer apps for the iPad from AppAdvice: http://appadvice.com/appguides/show/printing There's a free Lite version of Readdle's Printer app that people without Airprint compatible printers can use to check out whether their printers are supported. Readdle's Printer Pro also has the ability to print files from Dropbox, MobileMe, Google Docs and the photo gallery, and there's supposed to be a version for the iPhone, too. You might want to look into that, for general iPad printing. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Sep 28, 2011, at 07:47, Dane Trethowan wrote: Hi!

Re: thoughts on iPhone 4S
Hi !From what I remember from having an Apple headset with remote, holding down the play/pause button would trigger Voice Control. That functionality isn't going to be stripped out, so when that voice assistant launches, you can use it for the very same. Secondly, iOS 5 probably isn't going to run horribly fast on the 3GS, compared to the iPhone 4. For those running the 3GS, the 4S is definitely worth upgrading to because of the faster speed. If you already have the iPhone 4, while the 4S is supposedly twice as fast it'd probably still run fine, and if you don't need the camera or Siri then you might as well stick with what you have. Battery life hasn't been made worse because of the extra power, but reportedly better according to the event. More power doesn't necessarily equal sacrificing battery life whatsoever. While Apple can sometimes be a bit generous with their statistics, it's not entirely untrue that you can optimize battery life and pack more processing power into a device with reasonably good results if the chip itself is capable of reducing battery consumption. In any case, I'll be getting mine from Germany. Everything is hugely expensive here because of various tax rates as opposed to Germany, and Germany is getting it on the 14th. The huge benefit to the touchscreen devices is that, since the keyboard is intelligent, changing the keyboard layout gives you the keys that you need so you can potentially buy the phone from any country.

Re: preview Plist file.
Hi Dónal, You could try doing the following: quit the Preview app. In Finder, use Command-Shift-G to navigate to the Library/Preferences folder of your home directory. For example, use tilde to indicate your home directory and type: ~/Library/Preferences for the path to this folder. Choose list view (Command+2) for FInder. Then navigate to the column for date modified and sort on this column (with VO-Shift-Backslash). Open Preview, then Command-tab back to Finder. Check which folder was last modified in your ~/Library/Preferences folder. Hopefully, it will be the one associated with Preview. I used this method to identify the preference files associated with new language setups. It had an unlikely name of com.apple.HIToolbox.plist, and it turned out that this stood for Human Interface Toolbox. I also used this method to determine which plist files I should copy to a local backup folder -- I only wanted to keep copies of the most frequently used ones. You could also just send a query to accessibil...@apple.com, but of course that would be cheating smile. HTH.

There just seems to be a problem with column view particularly in folders which contain a lot of files. Any ideas on anything I might have done to cause this, or is it an obscure Lion bug? I have tried rebooting a few times and cleaning up disk permissions using Cocktail but all to no effect.

Important List Configuration changes Coming Up; Please read@
The message's content type was not explicitly allowed From: Gordon Lynne supp...@mac-access.net Subject: Important; Major List Re-configuration on the way; please read! Date: 6 October 2011 21:41:38 GMT+01:00 To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility mac-access@mac-access.net Hello everybody Gordon has just cracked the final problem with our new Mac-Access primary server hardware; so we are shortly going to start to migrate all of our email services away from the mail.tft-bbs.co.uk servers and over to the mail.mac-access.net servers instead. This will bring us several advantages; not the least of which is a more stable and robust database using a new version of Postfix, a new version of MailMan and a new version of several other vital components which we use. It will also allow us to re-allocate other services and improve the website department of the servers to once again incorporate live updates for those for whom we host websites. Rest assured that we will not make the change until we are convinced that the service is running robustly and reliably. But what we would like to know from you all please is whether any of you are using special configuration options; such as digest mode. If you're not, and you're just using the standard list membership options such as receiving single messages in regular format and no other custom options are configured on your account, you need do nothing. We will port your membership directly over to the new server when the time comes; so that the transition is smooth and seamless. When that happens, you will be able to write to the list and to the request address exactly as you do now. However, the list website, archive page and subscriber options pages will change. For instance; instead of landing on: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/listinfo/mac-access/options/ , you will find the server pages at: http://mail.mac-access.net/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/ which will be the new home of our mail services. If you're also a member of sibling lists run by us, they too will change. We will contact our direct clients with more detailed information shortly regarding their own personalised changes. But again, be very sure that we won't make the current services obsolete until absolutely everything is ticketyy-boo on the new servers. As always if you have question or want further information feel free to write to us at the support address. Requests for information on list will be ignored.

That functionality isn't going to be stripped out, so when that voice assistant launches, you can use it for the very same. Secondly, iOS 5 probably isn't going to run horribly fast on the 3GS, compared to the iPhone 4. For those running the 3GS, the 4S is definitely worth upgrading to because of the faster speed. If you already have the iPhone 4, while the 4S is supposedly twice as fast it'd probably still run fine, and if you don't need the camera or Siri then you might as well stick with what you have. Battery life hasn't been made worse because of the extra power, but reportedly better according to the event. More power doesn't necessarily equal sacrificing battery life whatsoever. While Apple can sometimes be a bit generous with their statistics, it's not entirely untrue that you can optimize battery life and pack more processing power into a device with reasonably good results if the chip itself is capable of reducing battery consumption. In any case, I'll be getting mine from Germany. Everything is hugely expensive here because of various tax rates as opposed to Germany, and Germany is getting it on the 14th. The huge benefit to the touchscreen devices is that, since the keyboard is intelligent, changing the keyboard layout gives you the keys that you need so you can potentially buy the phone from any country.

THe fact that the rest of IOS five can run well on a 3gs, or a 4, is testament to it but i would like siri on my phone why should i spend more money just to ge that? all apple want is money I going to go i think with android next year my upgrade is due next year not this. if we can though use the apple remote and mike headphones to press a button and say, text lyn to say i am running late as we on the road that's great but if have to stop, take phone out pocket hold down a button and speak then put phone away and continue on route it is silly but i do want a faster way to type as texting take forever in my view on an ios device, but what are peoples thoughts? maybe i am missing reasons to upgrade but the price is too high apple need to live in the real world we are in hard times, who wants to spend money on a phone that hardly offers anything new? --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.
