Hi.
Yep did the update directly from the 4S yesterday, process totally seemless
and since then performance far better although I cant comment on the battery
life as I've only had my 4S since yesterday.
I'm totally amazed at the speed difference between the 4 and 4S, very very
impressive.

Time button and it rang! So if you want a chat, feel free to Face Time

Re: Text editor

2011-11-11 Thread Koji Matsuda (Verizon)


Wow, Ester,
that was a very informative email.  Thank you.  I fell in love with iPhone 
about a year ago, and now I am thinking about getting a laptop of some kind 
made by Apple.  I was curious about Pages and it was great to know that 
there are users out there to share. I was wondering whether to buy Pages for 
my iPhone, and your info wasn'tnecessarily for the iOS, but again it was 
very informative and I appreciate people like you who are willing to spend 
time explaining things in detail.

Subject: Re: Text editor


Hi Catherine,

TextEdit does let you print results, and you can open Word documents that 
are sent to you in this program.  However, while it is easy to use, and 
actually more powerful than you might initially think, it has some 
shortcomings if you are looking for a word processing program to write 
research papers with footnotes, for example. James Austin has done 
periodic reviews of what's available in this regard.  There are other good 
accessible word processors -- a free program called Bean is one of them --  
which also fall short in this regard, although they have several nice 
features.


If you're talking about the most full-featured word-processors you 
probably want to consider either Pages, which is Apple's iWork counterpart 
to Microsoft Word, or Nisus Writer Pro, which is a third party program 
that was recently revamped to version 2, and now is in a 2.1 release. 
Both these programs can be separately purchased from the Mac App Store 
(Pages for $19.99 and Nisus Writer Pro for $79.99).


There are several people on list who can give you a more detailed 
evaluation of these products, and Nisus Writer Pro, in particular, has 
many enthusiastic users in its new incarnation.  I'll point you to an post 
I wrote back in June in reply to Lynne's query about whether the new 
version was worth getting:

• Re: Nisus Writer Pro; Query
http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/2011-June/013619.html

That post summarizes an extensive review of the product in TidBITS, and 
excerpts key bits.  The bottom line was that the writer considered it to 
be an overall superior experience to using either Microsoft Word or Pages 
for word processing, but he also made some very detailed comments about 
topics like degree of compatibility with Word documents handed back and 
forth between the two programs (mixed experience: both pluses and 
minuses.)


Anne is probably the most expert user of Pages on this list.  The current 
version is Pages '09, and is overdue for an upgrade. My guess is that this 
has been running late because it is being written to take advantage of the 
changes that have been made in both Mac OS X and iOS on devices like the 
iPad. This is true for the entire iWork suite (with counterparts to Excel, 
Word, and Powerpoint in Numbers, Pages, and Keynote).  But this is 
certainly another viable alternative.


One of the shortcomings of the Mac App store is that it does not support 
trial downloads -- developers can offer free lite versions of 
applications, but they cannot offer a free application that later requires 
you to pay an extra amount to keep it functional.  So if you want to use a 
trial download, you have to visit the developer's web site directly.


You can download a 15-day free trial version of Nisus Writer Pro from:
http://www.nisus.com/pro/

Apple used to have a trial download page for the iWork suite at:
http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/

I don't know whether that still works.  Now all the apps are separately 
purchasable at the Mac App Store.


There was also a discussion about Nisus Writer Pro vs. Pages on this list 
in July.  You can read through the thread at the secondary Mail Archive 
pages for this list:

• Nisus Writer Pro 2.0 Versus Pages; [Revisited]
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg00117.html

To read down the thread, use the access key shortcut Control+n to navigate 
to the next post in the thread and Control+p to go to the previous post in 
the thread.  These access key shortcuts work for all browsers on different 
platforms if you substitute the appropriate access key (e.g., for Internet 
Explorer use Alt+n and Alt+p; for Firefox I think it is Alt+Shift+n and 
Alt+Shift+p).  Since we have a new Mac VoiceOver user who is sighted, I 
should mention that if you started Safari without VoiceOver running, then 
the access key combination is Control+Option+n for next and 
Control+Option+p for previous.  But if you started Safari with VoiceOver 
running it is just Control+n and Control+p.


There is one other interesting new app for writing called Scrivener. 
Rather than being focused on the generation of output, it's set up for the 
use of people who write a lot, and want to easily access intermediate 
tools like outlines and lists of ideas.  Scrivener is also availab

I've had no trouble with the audible web site.  If you could give  
some specifics as to what your difficulties are, we might be able to  
offer some assistance.  I have several audible items, and downloading  
them is simple enough, though it's not always obvious which one  
you're downloading. because of the misaligned table layout.  Other  
than that though, I've had no issues.  Searching and finding material  
is easy enough, though I've not purchased anything in quite a while,  
since my membership expired, and things are just too expensive w/o a  
membership.

The default voice is higher quality, if that voice works for you, 
there's little reason to use the compact voice.

Help needed if possible

2011-11-11 Thread michael maslo

Hi list:

Was wondering if anyone could refer me to a place I can refer a developer to 
for accessibility tricks?

Let me explain

I was in contact with the developer of the Atlantis mud client who stated she 
wanted to make it accessible for voice over users but was having trouble with 
knowing how to do this.

What I am trying to find out are places I can refer her to which may assist her 
in this endeavor. this is a real opportunity I feel to get a mud client which 
is fully accessible for voice over users.

She seems to be very receptive towards any suggestions or help.

thanks in advance

2011-11-11 Thread Esther

Hi Karen,

The quick way to close a window is simply to type the shortcut for closing 
windows, which is Command+W.   No need to navigate to the close button and 
press it when you can do this in one step.  Also, for an Apple Knowledge Base 
article giving Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts, look at:
• Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343

If you forget the location of this document, do a Google search for "Apple 
support keyboard shortcuts".

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Differences Between Default VO and Compact

2011-11-11 Thread Sarah Alawami

I use the compact voice as it to me sounds a lot better and it is less resource 
intensive. I run a lot of processes so  for me the compact works. it's the same 
on my iphone as well. I run  the compact voice for that as well.

Try something like control option command home, that moves you to the 
top most item in a window, alternatively, if your goal is to close the 
window, command w will do the trick.

My sighted husband has been making noises about wanting an iPad.  Other

particularly technologically inclined, but does have his own iMac and has
used my iPod touch some.  His main reason for wanting an iPad instead of an
iPod Touch, is so that he can have access to a larger screen.  I know he
doesn't want to have to pay extra for a data plan right now.  besides the
price, what are the differences between the classic iPad and the iPad 2?  I
know this isn't list related, so if any of you can shed some light on this
for me, I would be most appreciative if you would reply to me privately.

Developer's resources for iOS Accessibility [was Re: Help needed if possible]

2011-11-11 Thread Esther

Hi Mike,

You can point developers to the "Information for App Developers" page link at 
AppleVis:
http://www.applevis.com/information-app-developers

I'll just mention a few of the resources linked there.  There's a very good 
blog article by Matt Legend Gemmell:
http://mattgemmell.com/accessibility-for-iphone-and-ipad-apps

In this blog post, he describes how easy it is in most cases to ensure 
accessibility using the standard developer tools.  It's worth a read even for 
list members.

There's also the iPhone Blind Wiki:
http://blind.wikia.com/wiki/IPhone

The section "For developers" gives specific links to the appropriate documents.

I also posted to this list back in January about the Stanford University iTunes 
U podcast series titled "Developing Apps for iOS" with the screencast that was 
released on December 8, 2010. The name of the episode is "18. Accessibility on 
iOS: Make an App for Everyone", and here's the URL:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/18-accessibility-on-ios-make/id395631522?i=89601580

The podcast series was about the details of writing iOS apps.  This particular 
episode featured Chris Fleizach describing, with step by step examples using 
the developer's toolkit, how to add accessibility features to an example iOS 
app.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Text editor

2011-11-11 Thread Esther

Hello Koji,

I haven't tried Pages on the iPhone, and I think the experience of using word 
processors on iOS devices may still lag behind the desktop experience.  
However, I'll point out one thing that may be of interest to iOS device users 
about Pages on the Mac, and also Scrivener.  Both these apps allow you to 
export documents into ePub format, which you could then transfer to iBooks and 
read on your iOS devices.  As far as I know, there are no comparable Windows 
applications (designed for regular users rather than publishers) that have this 
capability.  This is not a feature of the iOS version of Pages -- only in the 
Mac OS X version.

While it is possible to use Stanza desktop (in either the Mac or Windows 
versions) to convert between different document and eBook formats and generate 
ePub files, this process is probably less robust than directly producing ePub 
files from text in Pages or Scrivener.

I should also probably have added that Office for the Mac is not accessible at 
all. Some people can use the Windows version of Office if they put Bootcamp on 
the Mac and run Windows with an associated screen reader, or if they run a 
Windows virtual machine through VMWare fusion.  But Office for the Mac was not 
written to comply with Apple's accessibility APIs, so it will not work with 
VoiceOver.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: mac loosing connection to the wifi network when coming out of sleep mode

2011-11-11 Thread Esther

Hi Lyn, 

I can't suggest a fix, but I'll just ask if you use Wi-Fi and connect to 
different Wi-Fi sites without changing your location profile.  What I've 
noticed is that if I changed my internet connection type several times, either 
by going between ethernet and Wi-Fi, or switching different Wi-Fi locations, 
without changing location profile, that the behavior you outline may occur if 
I've used my Mac laptop for some time without shutting down.  (And 
incidentally, I've only seen this behavior with my 2010 MacBook Pro, and with a 
2010 MacBook Air that I set up for someone else -- it never happened on my 2008 
MacBook.)  What is even odder, is that if I am using terminal I can connect out 
of my laptop with ssh.  I just can't connect through Safari, and if Safari 
doesn't connect, my mail won't update.  (I don't have to force quit Safari -- a 
simple quit will do, but I do have to reboot to get the network connection 
working again.)  

This doesn't seem to happen if I don't change my Wi-Fi source, or if I create a 
separate location profile for each different Wi-Fi connection and change 
location profiles.

Maybe someone else on list can comment on a possible solution.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: mac loosing connection to the wifi network when coming out of sleep mode

I have  a similar issue. Could someone explain to me what you mean by changing 
your network profile? I have seen this in system settings, but I don't 
understand it.

Changing AppleID while migrating from a 3GS to a 4S.

2011-11-11 Thread Geoff Waaler

Greetings all,

My Mother has a 3GS running IOS 4.3.5 and just received her 4S, and keeping in 
mind that she is one of the least tech sabby people I know, I'm trying to make 
the migration process as painless as humanly possible, and save as many steps 
as possible for when I can tend to them in person.  Actually this will benefit 
me as well because if I dared admonish her to press any key she really is one 
of those people who will hunt and peck around for that specific item!!!

Another complication is that since she can no longer receive email at the 
address linked to her Apple ID I want to switch that without screwing up her 
access to the apps she previously purchased.

Her machine is vista, but I doubt this will affect the order of events that 
will need to take place?  My goal is to take the absolute minimum of steps, so 
as not to want to kill her from 1000 miles away.  I had her install the latest 
version of iTunes, and back up her 3GS.  Now, would it be necessary for her to 
change her Apple ID, or can this wait?  I realize that she won't receive 
receipts from the app store, but my real concern is that there does not seem to 
be a way to change this on the phone once its set.  If the change would take 
affect later painlessly I'd rather not have her worry about that now.  Same 
goes for iCloud and upgrading the firmware on her 3GS.  I wonder if I could 
just have her attach her 4S via usb and restore from her older firmware 3GS 
backup so as to recover her old environment and save iCloud and AppleID 
migration for later?

TIA for any/all suggestions and best regards.

RE: Changing Apple ID while migrating from a 3GS to a 4S.

2011-11-11 Thread Bubba

Hi, if you go to iTunes on the computer and under your or in this case her
account you can change your apple ID and password as well as other things
and this should not make any difference as you are not creating a new one
but modifying the old ones. But to be sure I would call or write Apple
support. I sure they would be willing to help. HTH

Re: Changing Apple ID while migrating from a 3GS to a 4S.

2011-11-11 Thread Geoff Waaler

Thanks, I just took a gander at the dialog and think I could get her through

to select the store menu and correct option.


Still wonder if I can have her do the setup and then simply restore from her 
older firmware 3GS in order to recover her contacts and apps.


Best regards.

Trouble is that this would not bring over her contacts or maintain her

so as not to want to kill her from 1000 miles away.  I had her install 
the
latest version of iTunes, and back up her 3GS.  Now, would it be 
necessary

for her to change her Apple ID, or can this wait?  I realize that she
won't
receive receipts from the app store, but my real concern is that there
does
not seem to be a way to change this on the phone once its set.  If the
change would take affect later painlessly I'd rather not have her worry
about that now.  Same goes for iCloud and upgrading the firmware on her
3GS.
I wonder if I could just have her attach her 4S via usb and restore from
her
older firmware 3GS backup so as to recover her old environment and save
iCloud and AppleID migration for later?

TIA for any/all suggestions and best regards.
Geoff

Re: mac loosing connection to the wifi network when coming out of sleep mode

2011-11-11 Thread Lyn & her faithful furry friends

Hi Esther,

No I do  not change location profiles, in fact I do not even know what that is. 
 It just happens when I reopen the led in order to use my mac again after it's 
been to sleep.  I only connect to one wifi network.

Thanks for your email anyway.

Lyn, Canelle & Epi
