Re: iText Express And Other Text Editors
speaking of iText Express, I installed it yesterday and can't seem to get very far with it. The search function wasn't cooperating at all, and although I haven't gone through the help file yet, it seemed kind of quirky.

Re: iText Express And Other Text Editors
I don’t use the search function, never have. and the interface is very very similar to text edit. Don’t read the help file, just use it. lol! Remember cmd y will do a word count and give you mote info then you ever neo know on the document and all of your key strokes, cmd shift t, cmd shift c etc will remain the same, the ruler is also very easy to use especially when you want to fully justify text and do other things. the color picker is also very easy to use as well. Centering is easy to. Just highlight and hit cmd vertical bar. Good luck.

Installing voices from 10.8 into 10.9
Hi, in Mac OS 10.8 there was a German voice called Steffi. This voice is not longer shipped with 10.9 unfortunatly, its only available if an update from an older Mac OS version to 10.9 has been done. If 10.9 hjas been installed from scratch, no Steffi can be selected :-(. No I wonder if it would be possible to bring Steffi from a 10.8 system to an 10.9 installation? Ofcourse it would be possible to install 10.8 first, set Steffi as default voice and after that do an update to 10.9, but the better solution would be to get the necesary things from an old 10.8 installation and integrate them into a 10.9 system manualy. Does anybody know if this is possible and what steps are necesary? I want Steffi back :-)!

RE: Bluetooth on the Mac
Andy, Have you made sure to put the bar back into discover/paring mode? Remember, if it's already connected to the IPod, or even just so much as thinks it's supposed to connect to it, then it probably won't let you pare it to anything else. Figure out how to put it in discover/connect/paring mode, then see if your mac sees it.

While on the topic of bluetooth...
Has anyone tried paring either with a Mac, an IPod, IPhone, or an IPad, the Aftershokz Bluez bluetooth bone induction stereo headset? My friend Ben and I have a pare and let me tell you what! Oh, my, god! This is by far the best headset I think I ever have had the pleasure to use! OK, at $120USD, they are a little bit pricy, I'll admit, but oh my heavens! are they worth it! I think Ben will probably jump in here to say as well that they are absolutely gorgeous! If you ever've tried the Aftershokz Sports headphones, imagine those only with no wire. Just totally bluetooth. They are incredible! If you want my honest opinion, I'd tell anyone! to not get the cheap $65/70 jawbone or whatever headsets. Just save up and get the Bluez! Trust me on this! You will not! I promise! regret!

Hi I have been trying out various apps on my mac, and at the moment all VO is saying is busy when I either press a combinationb of keys with VO. I cannot escape from an app by pressing command plus q, I want to shut down the mac - I'm panicking a little smiles. Also, when I turn the trackpad commander off with VO plus a two finger anticlockwise rotation, if I touch the trackpad with one finger VO announces what cell my finger is touching-is this correct? Any help will be most appreciated best wishes Henry -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Christopher-Mark Gilland Sent: 20 November 2013 19:55 To: 'OS X iOS Accessibility' Subject: While on the topic of bluetooth...

RE: Bluetooth on the Mac
There has to be a way. The only exception would be to get it in that mode, you first have to maybe unpare it from the IPod. In other words, maybe you only can have it pared to one thing at a time. Otherwise, have someone sighted help you look maybe on the backside, or the bottom of it. There may be a button which you push and hold for a few seconds to put it in discover mode. I know you doubt it has it, but believe me, sometimes those buttons are not exactly obvious. Othertimes, it's a combination of buttons you hit together. IE, I have a headset that you push and hold down on the play pause button while nothing is playing, and that puts it there in that mode. Not specifically knowing this device, it's hard to say, but that is one possibility. chris. -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Andy Collins Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 3:38 PM To: OS X iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Bluetooth on the Mac Hi Chris - I'm not sure the bar has that option.

Re: Bluetooth on the Mac
Chris - Here's a bit more for you: When I bought the bar, I paired the iPod with it, and that was fine. Then I got my iPhone, and that connected ok too, without me having to unpair it as it were, from the Pod. Given how those two devices connected, I'd have thought I could just come along and do the same with my Mac, but it seems not. I can understand why say devices like the Mac have a make discoverable as an option, There might be times when you wouldn't want it found by a nearby snooper,but not a sound bar. , there's actually a pairing button on the sound bar's remote, and I always have to press that each tine I want the pod or phone to connect. Incidentally, there doesn't appear to be a make discoverable option for the pod or the phone, they just have a turn Bluetooth off/on option - Andy On 20 Nov 2013, at 20:43, Christopher-Mark Gilland ch...@clgproductions.com wrote: There has to be a way. The only exception would be to get it in that mode, you first have to maybe unpare it from the IPod. In other words, maybe you only can have it pared to one thing at a time. Otherwise, have someone sighted help you look maybe on the backside, or the bottom of it. There may be a button which you push and hold for a few seconds to put it in discover mode. I know you doubt it has it, but believe me, sometimes those buttons are not exactly obvious. Othertimes, it's a combination of buttons you hit together. IE, I have a headset that you push and hold down on the play pause button while nothing is playing, and that puts it there in that mode. Not specifically knowing this device, it's hard to say, but that is one possibility. chris. -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Andy Collins Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 3:38 PM To: OS X iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Bluetooth on the Mac Hi Chris - I'm not sure the bar has that option.

RE: please can someone advise?
Henry, this isn't normally recommended, but yeah, try doing command+control+eject. If that doesn't work, just hit the power button, hold it in for about 5 to 7 seconds, release, then after about another 20 seconds to give the hard disk time to spin down, hit your power again to reboot. don't hold it down the second time though. Just hit it and letter go. Again, I'd not normally advise doing this, and I'd kindly ask that you try the other method with command+control+eject first, but if that's not working nor is feezable, then as a very very last resort, you can try that. don't get in the habbit though of doing it.

Re: please can someone advise?
Hello Henry, Here are a few things you should know about. You should repair permissions every time you install new software, and when your machine is behaving erratically, you should reset the PRAM. Instructions follow. You can shut down your computer tidily with Ctrl-Option-Command-Eject key (or Power key if you have a MacBook Air). Instructions for resetting the PRAM Shut down your computer, then hold down the following keys: Command, Option, R and P. With these held down, press the Power key once, keeping the four keys held down until you’ve heard the start up chime four times. Release the four keys and the machine will boot normally. Repairing permissions Open the Utilities folder (Cmd-Shift-u). Open Disk Utility. Select your HD in the table. Make sure that First Aid is selected. Navigate down to Repair Disk Permissions and click it. You can follow the progress of the repair by going up to the Results table and interacting with it. You can press Cmd-q from within the table. Your trackpad is reacting normally as that is the way a sighted person moves the mouse pointer. Which level of the OS are you using? Mountain Lion or Mavericks?

Re: Bluetooth on the Mac
Andy, This thread is fascinating because, yesterday I thoght I might try to pair my Mac to my Jawbone jambox. the mac didn’t see it at all. It did see, and I successfully paired, my Logitech k811 BT keyboard. But when I turned on the Jambox, even after I turned off Bluetooth on my iPHone 5S which it successfully paired to, the Mac did not see it, even in the discoverable menu. So you’re not alone. If yu figure out a way to pair it can you let us know?

RE: please can someone advise?
Bare in mind: Repairing permissions on your Macintosh HD never should be done unless you either have another partition you can boot to, or unless you first go into the recovery partition. the reason is because while you're booted into the actual OS which resides on the volume you will be repairing, certain files will be locked or in use, thus, not allowing permissions which may have gotten corrupted to be modified back to their correct values.

RE: please can someone advise?
It's not really so much correct nor is it incorrect. It's just a preference. If you like it doing that, then great! It could come in helpful at times, as you can move your mouse and know what you're hoverring over. If you do want to turn it off, go into your voiceover preferences with vo+F8, If that won't work, try fn+vo+F8. Then interact with the categories table, and go down to navigation. There should be a setting in here to disable that function. If you need the absolute specifics, let me know. I haven't set any of my 3 macs up to do that, nor have I set my mom's to do it, but I do remember seeing the option, so if you need me to, my mom and I can look for ya and try to find the setting specificly.

Re: Apparently Touch ID doesn't like 180-degree unlock attempts - TUAW
In my experience, touch ID fails more often than it works at any angle. I've gotten it to function at 180 degrees before, hence from my experience, I doubt the orientation has any baring. Its a great concept, but I'm strongly considering disabling it because it gets old entering one's pass code all the time after one minute of not touching the phone. I am running IOS 7.04, and still touchID is only working about 20% of the time. Best regards.

Re: VO Volume problem on the 5S
I had this problem initially. The volume was loud initially, but once I turned it down below 35% it would not go above that. I reverted to factory settings and among other things, that restored my VO volume. I then removed the volume slider from my rotor and its been fine ever since. I'm afraid to test this on IOS 7.04 because of what one must go through to restore the volume on a 5S once its been reduced. The down side of course is that VO blasts while on calls. I hope VO doesn't become the orphan child of IOS as has happened in the MACOSX world. Best regards.

Re: Apparently Touch ID doesn't like 180-degree unlock attempts - TUAW
Hi Jeff, I've found touch iD to work just about every time for me. I read somewhere that if you are not finding it reliable you should go back to settings and delete your finger print and set it up again. I have two fingers set up and I can use them both first try about 90 percent of the time and just about always get it on the second try if needed. It is very fast for me as well. I hope you get yours squared away. Eric Caron On Nov 20, 2013, at 9:32 PM, Geoff Waaler geoff.waa...@gmail.com wrote: In my experience, touch ID fails more often than it works at any angle.

Re: help with setting up vm ware?
Hi Mathew, One thing to be aware of is that if you set up JAWS then start changing settings in VM Fusion such as changing the amount of ram designated then Jaws acts like it is a whole new computer. You then need to use another authorization key. So when I set up VM 5 I left Jaws in demo mode until I got all my VM Fusion settings working nicely and then authorized Jaws. I'm careful to now avoid changing settings that will cause Jaws to think my VM is a different computer. Best of luck. I have my VM Fusion 5 working with mOuntain Lion and will probably not upgrade to mavericks or VM Fusion 6 for a very long time. Usually I upgrade quickly but this time I'm glad I waited.

Re: help with setting up vm ware?
Gordon Smith had a podcast several years ago on how to use VMWare Fusion.

Re: Apparently Touch ID doesn't like 180-degree unlock attempts - TUAW
Hi Eric, Thanks for the note. I did that, but it didn't help. After reading that blog post though, I concluded that others were getting much better results; after all, that person seemed surprised when it didn't work. Anyway, I set it up again using the finger tips of two fingers rather than the middle, and my results are vastly improved (even at a 180 degree angle). Best regards.

I read somewhere that if you are not finding it reliable you should go back to settings and delete your finger print and set it up again. I have two fingers set up and I can use them both first try about 90 percent of the time and just about always get it on the second try if needed. It is very fast for me as well. I hope you get yours squared away. Eric Caron On Nov 20, 2013, at 9:32 PM, Geoff Waaler geoff.waa...@gmail.com wrote: In my experience, touch ID fails more often than it works at any angle. I've gotten it to function at 180 degrees before, hence from my experience, I doubt the orientation has any baring. Its a great concept, but I'm strongly considering disabling it because it gets old entering one's pass code all the time after one minute of not touching the phone. I am running IOS 7.04, and still touchID is only working about 20% of the time. Best regards.
