Re: a question about dropbox

2012-01-11 Thread Geoff Waaler
Hi Amber,

Assuming that you already have a dropbox account, download the .dmg file from 
their site and run the installer from the volume.  In my experience, things 
totally fubared when I attempted to copy it to my applications folder and run 
from there.  Specifically, I did not receive an accessible prompt for my 
dropbox credentials.  I suspect you can set up a new account via the installer, 
but I didn't have to do this.

After a successful installation, you'll find a dropBox folder in your home 
folder; the dropbox options are rendered visible via the shortcut menu 
(vo-shift-m).

HTH.

   Hi all have a couple of mail questions for you.
   
   1. When receiving mail, if I get a lot of mail. Example 28 messages for 
this list, why doesn't VO remember where I left off previously. To give you an 
example, going with the 28 messages well next time I use my Mac and have 
received all of those messages, I would be on 26 therefore I would have to 
arrow down twice my messages being sorted in the most recent at the very top 
and then start going up the list of unread ones. In other words, way doesn't VO 
stay on the message I last left it. If that makes any sense. 
   
   2. More simple this question and its simply is there any way to get VO to 
announce a message being unread. At present arrowing up and down unread 
messages makes them as red. 
   
   I am using Lion with all latest updates. I also have Mail set in the 
standard view but I have disabled the conversation threading thing. 
   
   Look forward to hearing from all you experienced Mac Mail users!

Hi Roger!
As far as I know you cannot do that!
Apple in there wisdom have decided to make vo that way on the Iphones!
The best suggestion is to use headphones and you'll be able to hear vo ok!
Yes I know you might  not want to use headphones all the time but that is your 
best bet!

It's a bug actually. I know some connections up there at hq and they are very

Re: a question about dropbox

Hello. Control click the dropbox app after you copy it to apps folder, then 
click show package contents, then  contents then MacOS  then  click dropbox. 
the terminal window will open and it will then  after 10 seconds or so show an 
installer you can then access.

Take care.

Unlocking an iPhone 3GS

2012-01-11 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello, 
Do any of you good folks have experience of unlocking an iPhone so that you can 
use a different SIM card? 

My iPhone is pay as you go and is locked to Orange in the UK. I have researched 
the web and there seem to be three ways to unlock. 

1. Jail break and then unlock. Several folks offer software to do this but it 
seems that the unlock may be undone whenever you upgrade via iTunes to a new 
level of IOS.  Most providers offer lifetime updates for their solutions but 
some think this whole approach is risky. I also wonder if the software they 
provide is accessible via VoiceOver. 

2. Get your phone onto the  Apple list of unlocked phones via its IMEAI. Then 
that has been done you connect your phone to iTunes which will then unlock it. 
this seems to be a permanent solution. It seems to be about twice as expensive 
as the first alternative, but seems much less risky. 

3. Approach Orange and get them to unlock the phone for a fee. I am not clear 
about what Orange will then do. Their frequently asked questions suggests that 
they will send you an unlock code which you have to enter onto the phone 
keypad. However other comments suggest that Orange will unlock by updating the 
Apple data base of in 2 above. Maybe the Orange FAQ mention of an unlock code 
does not apply to the iPhone. Approach 3 costs much the same as approach 1 and 
if it uses the iTunes method as in approach 2 then it looks like the best 
answer. However the bad news is that it takes Orange up to 30 days to do the 
above and many comments say that Orange fail to do the unlock and thus have to 
be chased several times adding to delay. 

If you have any experience of unlocking an iPhone I would appreciate your 
knowledge and advice. 

Many thanks.

XCode and C++, one more try.

2012-01-11 Thread Geoff Waaler
Greetings,

I think there's at least one other lister using xCode.  My question this time 
is how to test prompting for a value, or send command line parameters.

For example, if I compile/run the following C++ in terminal, I get the expected 
result:

#include iostream
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, const char *argv[]) {
int val;
cout  Enter a value: ;
cin  val
cout  You entered   val;
}

When I enter the above as a command line tool project and go to the build 
results under product in the project navigator it appears to prompt for the 
value, but no matter what I enter, val is set to 1.  I don't think this is a 
coding issue since its a pretty basic program and as stated, the output is as 
expected in the command line.

If noone out there is using xCode, perhaps I should abandon the idea of 
developing in an IDE, but this seems to be a more marketable skill to acquire 
since this is now the main stream methodology.

TIA for any assistance on or off list and best regards.
Geoff
