ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

I have one small gripe regarding iOS5.1 and I'm wondering whether it's me just 
missing something.  I do not see a way to have a different signature set for 
each mail account on iOS5.  Again this could be user error, and I hope it is.  
But it does seem strange to me.

I'm currently relying on my iPHONE 4S FOR ALL MY NEEDS, AND IT WOULD BE HELPFUL 
IF ONE COULD USE MULTIPLE SIGNATURES.

GORDON

RE: speed test

[Roger Firman]

Dear William,

I wonder if there is something suitable on your ISPs website. You could
also try searching on the BT website. However, no doubt there are other
solutions so not really able to recommend one but hope you find what you
need.

Regards,

Roger.

Hold down the control, option, and command keys, while pressing the right or

until you hear Voiceover announce rate, and then use the up and down arrow keys 
to adjust the value.

Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Hello Sandy

This is actually Lynne; but I can respond on his behalf.

Text Expander is certainly an option yes. I can't actually remember whether we 
have the iPhone version of that; although we do certainly own a license for the 
Mac version. I'll look into that; thanks for the suggestion.

Multiple mail signatures in iOS 5 [was Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1]

[Esther]

Hi Gordon,

Multiple signatures for your different email accounts under iOS 5 are still not 
supported, but I can suggest two different work-arounds.

First, iOS 5 supports the creation of keyboard shortcuts.  If you go to 
Settings > General > Keyboard there's a heading for "Shortcuts".  The first 
entry under "Shortcuts" gives an example: "omw" for "On my way!"  If you double 
tap on this sample entry, you'll view the detailed shortcut screen for the 
example, with text fields for the phrase "On my way!" and for the shortcut 
assignment "omw".  There's also a description "Create a shortcut that will 
automatically expand into the word or phrase as you type".  You can make any 
editing changes in the text fields for the shortcut and phrase, then double tap 
the "Save" button in the top right corner.  Or, you can double tap the 
"Keyboard, back button" at the top left corner of the screen to return to the 
keyboard settings screen.  

Just after the sample "omw" shortcut is the "Add New Shortcut" button, which is 
also the last element on the screen.  So you can always navigate to it with a 
four finger tap on the bottom half of the screen.  Double tap on this button, 
then type in the phrase you want to shortcut in the text field.  Then flick 
right when you're done to type in the text for your shortcut abbreviation.  
Double tap the "Save" button in the top right corner.

So the way this could work is that you might  set up your basic signature in 
Settings  > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature (where the default says "Sent 
from my iPhone"), and then customize each additional line you'd like to add by 
typing your shortcut.

The main drawback of this method is that you still have to type one shortcut 
per line of expanded text.

The other option that I use is to use TextExpander Touch ($4.99 by 
SmileOnMyMac) to expand text.  You can define multi-line snippets in this app, 
and download the basic predefined snippet definitions.  Then, if you type 
"ddate" ("date" with an added "d" at the beginning), it will expand to the 
current date, and in the format that you set up.  You could have a multiline 
signature that you define as "ssig1" (starting with double letters for you 
snippet shortcut definitions is good for avoiding confusion with real words).  
This lets you customize everything.  The main drawback is that iOS apps like 
Mail are sandboxed, so you would have to double tap the button to copy to 
clipboard, then use the App Switcher to switch to mail, and then paste.  Or, 
you could compose mail in TextExpander and send it out directly from there, but 
that doesn't let you read through your mail and reply.

I'll just note that TextExpander's snippets for HTML and CSS programming are 
really clever, and that most good notes, Twitter, and messenging apps will 
support TextExpander so you can compose using your custom-defined snippets 
within those apps.  As for HTML coding, the control sequences will expand and 
leave your insertion point between the control elements if you use the 
TextExpander HTML snippets.  So you don't have to type out starting and closing 
elements by hand.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1

[Sandy Tomkins]

Hallo Lynne,

Sorry, my explanation was very bad, I was using the onboard keyboard! OK, 
what I meant was this: Gordon doesn't need any special app, just go into 
setting/general/keyboard and flick down the screen, you will find something 
called "shortcuts" (I think that is what it is called) in this section you can 
choose to compose a block of text, say, a signature and associate it with an 
abreviation. So, I, for example have my full contact details which will be 
added to whatever I am writing when I write my preset abbreviation. Just a 
suggestion, use something unusual, like, zzz so you don't end up writing it by 
mistake and including info you don't want including by mistake.

Hope this helps.
Sandy.

Re: Speeding up the Mac voice

[Esther]

Hi,

I'll just add that some apps, like Adobe Reader, completely ignore the speech 
rate settings in System Preferences when using the system voice. You have to 
find and set the voice rate within that app's preferences, since otherwise the 
text-to-speech voice is maddeningly. Actually, Adobe Reader is the only app 
I've found to do this, and the only reason I can imagine for having to use this 
application is if you need to read a document protected with their DRM and 
absolutely have to use the app.  Even when the document is "displayed" under 
those terms, it may be inaccessible to VoiceOver, in which case you'd be much 
better off just screen capturing the images, sending them to an OCR program, 
and reading them with something more accessible.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Multiple mail signatures in iOS 5 [was Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1]

[Sandy Tomkins]

Ester,

Just an observation: The snippet I have set up using the 
settings/general/kayboard/shortcuts is about 8 lines long and works fine. So, 
maybe, this could be the easiest way to go?
Good luck, Sandy,

Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1

[Esther]

Hi Lynne and Sandy,

My post showed up after Sandy's, but it contains full instructions for defining 
shortcuts under Settings > General > Keyboard in the first part.  I also 
outlined how this would work under TextExpander Touch for iOS, since you'd have 
to double tap the "Action" button and choose the option for "Copy All Text" (or 
"Send Email" or "Send Message" if you're sending an email or SMS from within 
the app) to copy to clipboard.  The problem is that you'd have to copy to 
clipboard, then use the App Switcher to switch back to mail and paste in the 
copied text.  Every app I've seen that tries to deal with multiple signatures 
appears to make you paste in the copied text.

TextExpander Touch on the iOS might still be useful to Gordon if he's working 
with coding, since the snippets allow for the coded bits that precede and 
follow commands to be inserted around your current insertion point position.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Multiple mail signatures in iOS 5 [was Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1]

Hi Sandy,

Sounds good. I think when this came up in the earliest version of iOS 5 there 
may have been a limitation in multiple lines?

Re: Having Trouble With iTunes, Please Help!

[Esther]

Hi Desi,

If you're interacting with a playlist can you use VO-backslash to collapse or 
expand it?  The backslash key is the rightmost key above the return key on 
English language input keyboards.  If a device like an iPhone or iPod is 
connected, you should automatically be focused on it. Also, you can reach your 
Devices by using item chooser menu.  Typing the first few letters of "sources" 
will give you a list of source categories like Store, Library, Genius, 
Playlists, including Devices, although if you have a lot of items in your 
sources table you may get the iTunes busy message.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Esther, you are truly a gem!  That is exactly the information I needed!  And, 
thanks for reminding me about the item chooser!  Sometimes when there are so 
many alternatives, it's hard to keep track of them!  I truly appreciate your

Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1

Hi Gordon,
I don't believe there has ever been a way to have different signatures for each 
account on the iPhone.  I think setting up keyboard shortcuts, as others have 
suggested, would be most helpful.

Re: best voice recorder for mac

[Travis Siegel]

I agree with sara, quicktime will work just fine for that,  You  
shouldn't need the pro version just for that, but if you find you  
like to edit the lectures, or combine classes, then an upgrade to pro  
may be worth the 30 bucks, but for just recording lectures, the  
version that ships with osx is perfectly fine.

Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1

[Gordon & Lynne]

Hi Timothy

Before I go any further, I must ask you and all to please excuse my frustrating 
lapses of memory and concentration just at the moment.  They are one of the 
side-effects of the drugs I'm having pumped into me daily just now.  So, I 
apologise in advance for any obvious oversights.

I am, for instance, struggling to remember how I go about getting Text Expander 
for my iPhone.  I don't currently have a Mac or PC with me where I'm currently 
located.  So I will have to try and effectively re-learn how to use the app 
store etc. on an iOS device.  All I have here is my iPhone 4S.

Again, my apologies to all.  If I cannot fix this issue myself tonight I'll 
just have to let Lynne do so when she comes over tomorrow.  But I will try.

Thank you to all who have contributed to this thread.  I shall respond to all 
messages asap.

Best,
Gordon

Re: Reformatting Question

[Travis Siegel]

Formatting drives on the mac is most certainly possible, and  
relatively easy.
First, you need to decide if you want the files to be accessible from  
both windows and mac, or just the mac.

If you want them accessible, you'll need to use fat32 file system.
If windows compatibility isn't an issue, then use mac osx extended  
(this is ext3 for those techy types) You also have the option to make  
it case sensitive or not (I hate case sensitive file systems, so I  
always say no, but your mileage may vary) Disk utility is used for  
this process in most cases, though it can be done from terminal as  
well for those criminally insane types like myself.
Anyway, simply select the drive in the outline view, then partition  
and format away.  If you simply want to reformat (and not partition  
again) then select the volume on the disk instead of the disk  
itself.  Then, simply click format, and select your format type (it's  
going to be under options) then you're all set.
If this isn't detailed enough, let me know, and I'll try to break it  
down a bit more, but I think this should be sufficient to get you there.

Re: any one having problems with latest hand brake

[Chantelle Griffiths]

Hi Krystal, 

There should be an option to just update the built-in presets from that 
dialogue box that tells you they are out of date. Just confirm or OK that 
dialogue box and Handbrake will update its built-in preferences and you should 
be able to use it again. 

Cheers,
