Re: Split keyboard on ipad mini.

[Sarah k Alawami]

Oh that type of split key board. Try this.

1. turn the rotor to edit by placing 2 fingers on the screen and turning until 
you get to typing . I flick once like those nobs where you turn and let go for 
the option. Note that you must be in an edit field for this to happen.

2. flick down to  touch and then turn the rotor back to chars or words or what 
ever  you navigate by.

Take care.

Re: Split keyboard on ipad mini.

[Devin Prater]

I never got the idea of split typing. I never was good at typing on the 
touchscreen anyways, but since my Apple keyboard is on its last leg, and I'll 
have to give the braille display back to the school from where it came for the 
summer, I want to learn ways of being faster on the touchscreen.

[Lyn & her faithful furry friends]

Thanks for that…personally really getting tired of all this windows stuff on 
this list. Thought of leaving the group but I learn so much from it so won't do 
that. I still don't understand why people get a mac if they are going to 
install windows on it, why not just stick to a PC in that case? You'll never 
learn how to use your mac if all you want is to use Windows on it.
Sorry for my rant.

This Is The Final Reminder: [Was "how to install JAWS on a mac using VM fusion and windows 7"]

[Gordon, Lynne & Tracy]

Hello everybody

Please refrain from discussing Windows material on this list. Be aware that 
this is a Mac group and, as is clearly stated in the list policy document which 
every member was sent upon subscription to this group, we do not accept the 
discussion of Windows configurations or any other non-Apple material.

Please don't take this in any way personally. But we have to implement list 
policy strictly otherwise we would find the group rapidly losing members. We do 
not want this group to follow so many others which have fallen into kayos 
because they permit anything at all regardless of topical guidelines. So, if 
you wouldn't mind, please do not continue this thread. Anybody who responds to 
this thread with advice pertaining to Windows is equally at fault here. 
Unfortunately we are going to have to come down hard on repeated offenders. 
Please don't make that something we have to do here because we really don't 
want to do it. But we must stress very strongly the need for this group to be 
disciplined for the good of the group as a whole. We know that there are 
members who are really tired of this sort of reminder being posted and equally 
tired of the Windows stuff being raised. So let's try not to have this happen 
again, please! The next person to offend in this way will most likely fi
 nd themselves in moderation.

It's true that the configuration of a virtual environment is a bit of a grey 
area. However, we do clarify this in the list policy document. We just don't 
know what else we can do to persuade people to comply!

I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but this really is becoming a very tedious 
reminder to have to post. Everybody was sent the list policy document, so we 
cannot accept "I didn't know", or ignorance as an excuse. If the member 
concerned did not bother to read the list policy document when they joined, 
that isn't our fault. So please, everybody, no more Windows questions. This 
really is not the place. Ask about Fusion, Parallels, things like that, by all 
means. But definitely not Jaws, Window-Eyes, NVDA and all the rest of it. It's 
off topic and won't be tolerated any longer.

To clarify, just one more time. You can discuss how to set up your virtual 
machine. You can discuss how to configure VoiceOver or anything else on the Mac 
side. But the configuration of Windows or any other non-Apple applications 
within a non-Apple guest operating system is definitely, absolutely most 
definitely, off topic.

Again, this is nothing personal, but this is the final reminder we will post to 
the group. The next person to re-offend in this way goes into moderation mode. 
That option is outlined in the list policy document which, if you didn't read 
it when you were sent your welcome pack, you may view at any time by browsing 
to 

Alright, that's the end of the final reminder. Yet again I am sorry to sound 
harsh; but we simply don't have the time, let alone the patience, to keep 
posting gentle reminders to this effect over and over again. Clearly the 
message is not getting through. So next time, there's no warning, it will just 
be actioned.

If you wish to discuss this with us off list, by all means feel free to contact 
us at  and we will try to explain a little  I am 
deliberately not quoting Laurel's post below because I don't want there to be 
anything personal. This is a general group reminder, and it's the final time it 
will be posted. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you so much! So basically, what you're saying is that I should download 
it, find in the downloads folder and then proceed as normal and windows and the 
infusion will recognize it as a Windows program? I really appreciate the 
feedback, I just want make sure I'm doing this right. Thanks again,

Re: Sparkle radio via Safari

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Hello Jamie

I only mentioned it in passing because Paul was trying the pages with Safari. 
The station is our own project and we're trying to develop a place where people 
can broadcast and have fun. They don't have to be radio wizards or anything, 
just want to have fun. Nobody will laugh at them if they make errors. Anyway 
there we are. We are very much on the lookout for technical demos and reviews 
in audio for our technology programme.

Subject: Re: Sparkle radio via Safari

Hello Paul

The page is entirely HTML and, as such, works fine here. Sometimes in Safari 
we have found that you need to press enter, rather than VoiceOver+Space to 
activate links and that isn't restricted to our site. The "Listen" link 
works fine. Try doing a reload of the page once you've clicked it. Actually, 
we have found that even the supposedly inaccessible flash player which is a 
customised in-page element for Sparkle Radio, works fine with VoiceOver's 
controls. We haven't actually tried the volume settings, but if you use that 
player all you have to do is hit the "Back" button it the browser and you're 
out of it. It's worth pointing out that the site is still undergoing work, 
but the basics are in place.


On that subject, if any member has an audio demo or review which they would 
like to contribute to our technology show, "Techno Chat", we would love to 
hear from them. We want that show to be a regular event and to form a large 
part of the upcoming Sparkle Radio podcast. Oh yes, and we are also working 
on an iPhone App which will play our station as well, watch this space. 
Things are really hectic this end, which is why we are finding it a little 
difficult to stay on top of the group's traffic. It is great to see you all 
making such good use of the resource, and we think that 2013 is going to be

Again, if you have any audio content which you'd like to contribute, either 
visit the website,  or use one of the 
following email addresses:

and we'll get back to you. We are also interested in doing Skype chats with 
anybody who has interesting information or experiences with anything 
technology-related. Obviously in this group we are talking about Apple-based 
stuff. But Sparkle Radio's technology show is not limited as such.


We know that there are a lot of people in this group who have interesting 
stories to tell us. Maybe, for example, yo'd be willing to talk to us about 
your reasons for going Apple, whether it's iOS or Mac OS. We'd love to hear 
from anybody, even if they are a beginner, you don't have to be a 
techno-wizard. After all, I am not a techno-witch and, for some odd reason, 
I agreed to put in an appearance in the first episode of the programme. 
Something which, I assure you, I will not burden you all with again unless 
my life depends upon it and even then, it'll be a last resort! ;-)

Hi Todd,

Try Checkbook Pro by Splasm Software, currently $19.95 from the Mac App 
Store.


Here's their web site URL:
http://www.splasm.com/checkbookpro/

You can also get a free trial download from that page, or from their 
dedicated download page:

http://www.splasm.com/checkbookpro/downloads.html

Note that although they offer two software versions, Checkbook and 
Checkbook Pro, the Pro version is preferred, because of features like 
folder and smart folder organization, and the ability to generate global 
summaries. Also, the normal list price is $14.99 for Checkbook and $24.99 
for Checkbook Pro, but Checkbook Pro is currently discounted to $19.95.


Here's the link to the product at the Mac App Store:

Re: Sparkle radio via Safari

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Hello Paul

The page is entirely HTML and, as such, works fine here. Sometimes in Safari we 
have found that you need to press enter, rather than VoiceOver+Space to 
activate links and that isn't restricted to our site. The "Listen" link works 
fine. Try doing a reload of the page once you've clicked it. Actually, we have 
found that even the supposedly inaccessible flash player which is a customised 
in-page element for Sparkle Radio, works fine with VoiceOver's controls. We 
haven't actually tried the volume settings, but if you use that player all you 
have to do is hit the "Back" button it the browser and you're out of it. It's 
worth pointing out that the site is still undergoing work, but the basics are 
in place.

On that subject, if any member has an audio demo or review which they would 
like to contribute to our technology show, "Techno Chat", we would love to hear 
from them. We want that show to be a regular event and to form a large part of 
the upcoming Sparkle Radio podcast. Oh yes, and we are also working on an 
iPhone App which will play our station as well, watch this space. Things are

MacBook Air Prices discounted today at Best Buy [was Re: Re-Mapping Macbook Keyboard for Window-Eyes]

[Esther]

Hello Mary and Others in the U.S.,

I've seen articles that Best Buy has slashed the prices of select models of 
MacBook Airs by $200, only for yesterday and today.  I think these are all 
models with 4GB of memory, and the price is cheaper than Apple's Refurbished 
price (when available):
• Best Buy cuts $200 off MacBook Air for two days only (TUAW):
http://www.tuaw.com/2013/01/25/best-buy-cuts-200-off-macbook-air-for-2-days-only/
 
This article links the Best Buy pages with information on the models that are 
offered.  I believe that Janet's MacBook Air configuration (8 GB memory and 512 
GB for the drive) can only be custom ordered online, but that the specs are now 
available for both 11" and 13" MacBook Air models.  (Earlier MacBook Air 
generations only offered the larger disk drive sizes for the 13" models.)


HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Windows Fusion questions

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Hello Jamire

To avoid repeatedly discussing the same topics on list, could I suggest that 
you might like to view the list archives which contain extensive discussion 
related to VMWare Fusion. Fusion is a popular virtualisation application which 
allows you to run virtual machines within Mac OS X and, therefore, multiple 
simultaneous operating systems. There are, and probably will be for the medium 
term at least, several accessibility issues which can mostly be worked around. 
Indeed, if one is prepared not to be able to customise the user interface of a 
pre-installed operating system, Parallels Desktop can actually be used by a 
blind or visually impaired person. Anyway, as I said, there is repeated 
discussion on the list archives so you might like to go there and do a search 
for the term "Fusion" which will undoubtedly produce a lot of information for 
you.

Oh, and for the record once again and for everybody's reference, it is against 
list policy to discuss the configuration of Windows within your virtual 
machines. Discuss the virtual machines's configuration itself, but not the 
guest operating systems unless, of course, the guest operating system happens 
to be another instance of Mac OS X which, of course, changes the entire ball 
gam.

Thank you for your tolerance.

Lynne

I hope this helps.

RE: Organising the main menu on IOS 6.

[Matthew C]

Another way I found to do this is start on a blank page. Move two apps to it
and merge them. You have to move one a very small amount so it is easier.
Then move one app at a time there until you are done with that folder and
move the folder back to the first used page. Continue doing this until your
happy with the folders you have.

Hi Paul,

One trick I've found helpful when moving Apps into folders en masse is to
place the folder in the dock. This way I can simply swipe from screen to
screen and drag the desired Apps into the folder on the dock, thus
eliminating the need to move Apps between screens. Also, if you're still new
to this process, be patient. It takes a wile to get the hang of moving an
App icon, locating the target folder, and dropping the App onto that folder
successfully. In my experience, the process gets easier with practice.

HTH,
