Re: do not update to clean my mac v2

2013-03-08 Thread Sarah k Alawami
it can how ever clean my mac does  a lot more and very accessibly. CCleaner had 
unlabeled check boxes and you could not tell what was checked and what was not. 

Here is a direct link to the mp3 of the demo I did on clean my mac. it even 
cleaned your external drives except for tm as well.

http://media.blubrry.com/tffp/p/www.tffppodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/looking-at-clean-my-mac.mp3


I'm letting the list know as I know Gordon and Lynn bought clean my mac about a 
month ago.

Re: seeing eye gps

2013-03-08 Thread Stephanie Mitchell

When does it come out?
Steph


- Original Message -
From: Sarah k Alawami We don't' yet know but we do know it will be as far as the devs 
have said $99 unless you want to buy  other maps then  I don't 
now how much it will be in edition to the $99 but you only pay 
that once which I guess is good but still.  I actually expected 
to have it cost about as much as the other gps apps out there 
which run from $30 to $50.  Just my thoughts.


Take care.

I know it is in testing and all slots have been taken so am not 
looking for any info not relating to what i already know.

how though do we make suggestions?
for example one feature i'd like is to be on public transport 
like a bus, but not have a specific route planned and have it 
announce roads and streets as i turn on to them or am passing 
them nearby as does the trekker from human ware at the moment

Understanding iOS passcode security

2013-03-08 Thread Sarah k Alawami
This is a very very in-depth look at how pass codes work. and it even shows how 
many  hours to days to years it could take to brake a 4 to 6 to 9 digit code. 
Enjoy the read. it was very interesting to me.

 Hi Josh and Sarah,
 
 You don't need to drag and drop actions that you want to add to an 
 Automator workflow.  Just add the item by pressing "return" when 
 you're focused on your selection.  This actually also works for 
 sighted users, too.  The only difference between pressing "return" and 
 using drag and drop to add an action to an Automator workflow is that 
 your selection gets added to the end of the workflow, whereas a 
 sighted user who drags and drops that action can move it to any 
 position in the workflow -- for example, to add the new action just 
 before the last action in the workflow instead of after it. You can 
 reorder any actions that have been added to the workflow area by 
 interacting with the workflow, then focusing on a particular action, 
 and using Command-Up arrow (or Down arrow) to move it to another 
 position.
 
 Sarah, I'm not sure what you want to do with variables, but you can 
 can select variables for automator in the same way by pressing 
 "return". So, for example, you'd change your selected library from 
 "actions" to "variables", and then you'd select the variable you want 
 from the list, like "Current time", and press "return".   That 
 selection would show up in a table of variables below your workflow. 
 (VO-Down arrow past the horizontal splitter that separates it from the 
 workflow.)  Then you might use that variable in an action like "Get 
 value of variable" or "Set value of variable", where you switch back 
 to the actions library and select one of those actions for the 
 workflow by pressing "return". Since you've already selected the 
 variable "Current time", the variable that is listed in the pop up for 
 the "Get value of variable" action will be "Current time".  However, 
 you can add other variables to your table, and select a different one 
 by navigating to it in that table, before selecting a "Get value of 
 variable" or "Set value of variable" action and pressing return to add 
 it you your workflow.
 
 HTH.  I don't usually do much with Automator workflows or services 
 unless I'm trying to answer a specific question. The point is that 
 anywhere you read about having to drag and drop, just select and press 
 "return".  And if you need to reorder an action in the workflow, 
 interact with the workflow and use Command-Up arrow or Down arrow to 
 change the position of your selected action.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Esther

Not that I'm aware of.  but you never know. There might be an action someone

 Hi Josh and Sarah,
 
 You don't need to drag and drop actions that you want to add to an 
 Automator workflow.  Just add the item by pressing "return" when you're 
 focused on your selection.  This actually also works for sighted users, 
 too.  The only difference between pressing "return" and using drag and 
 drop to add an action to an Automator workflow is that your selection gets 
 added to the end of the workflow, whereas a sighted user who drags and 
 drops that action can move it to any position in the workflow -- for 
 example, to add the new action just before the last action in the workflow 
 instead of after it. You can reorder any actions that have been added to 
 the workflow area by interacting with the workflow, then focusing on a 
 particular action, and using Command-Up arrow (or Down arrow) to move it 
 to another position.
 
 Sarah, I'm not sure what you want to do with variables, but you can can 
 select variables for automator in the same way by pressing "return". So, 
 for example, you'd change your selected library from "actions" to 
 "variables", and then you'd select the variable you want from the list, 
 like "Current time", and press "return".   That selection would show up in 
 a table of variables below your workflow. (VO-Down arrow past the 
 horizontal splitter that separates it from the workflow.)  Then you might 
 use that variable in an action like "Get value of variable" or "Set value 
 of variable", where you switch back to the actions library and select one 
 of those actions for the workflow by pressing "return". Since you've 
 already selected the variable "Current time", the variable that is listed 
 in the pop up for the "Get value of variable" action will be "Current 
 time".  However, you can add other variables to your table, and select a 
 different one by navigating to it in that table, before selecting a "Get 
 value of variable" or "Set value of variable" action and pressing return 
 to add it you your workflow.
 
 HTH.  I don't usually do much with Automator workflows or services unless 
 I'm trying to answer a specific question. The point is that anywhere you 
 read about having to drag and drop, just select and press "return".  And 
 if you need to reorder an action in the workflow, interact with the 
 workflow and use Command-Up arrow or Down arrow to change the position of 
 your selected action.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Esther

Re: seeing eye gps

2013-03-08 Thread Sarah k Alawami
We don't' yet know but we do know it will be as far as the devs have said $99 
unless you want to buy  other maps then  I don't now how much it will be in 
edition to the $99 but you only pay that once which I guess is good but still. 
I actually expected to have it cost about as much as the other gps apps out 
there which run from $30 to $50. Just my thoughts.

Take care.

Granted, I'm not perfect at it, but it does make some tasks quicker. Like

preview program question

2013-03-08 Thread Cathy
hello,

I was attempting to read a .pdf file in preview. the document had at least two 
columns and I was unable to figure out how to read one column at a time. how 
can I do this in this ap, or do I need another ap in order to do this?

thanks, Cathy
