Using IOS Simulator With Voiceover?
Hi all, Does anyone know how I can perform gestures in the IOS simulator?

VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS
Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.9 on my 2009 iMac. Sometimes VO refuses to speak after my iMac has been awaken after several hours asleep. Pressing command+F5 does not help so I have to power-off and then power-on again to restore VO. I recall reading in this forum that you can often recover VO by quickly pressing command+F5 several times but I cannot remember how many times and whether I have to wait a bit after the requisite number of presses before VO will start speaking again. I would appreciate any guidance on how to restart VO on Mac OS if VO goes mute.

Re: VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS
I have found that usually typing in my password, with no audible feedback and pressing enter will log me back into my MBA and Voiceover will be back up and running immediately. But I bet the Command + 4 or 5 key presses may work for you too. Definitely try typing in your password blindly though, it might save you some time. Take care. -Rodney On Dec 16, 2013, at 6:44 AM, Andy Collins a...@recreation.plus.com wrote: Paul - When this happens with me, I find five presses of CMD f5 usually works, it takes a couple of seconds after the fifth press - Andy On 16 Dec 2013, at 10:28, Paul Hopewell hopew...@hopewell.org.uk wrote: Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.9 on my 2009 iMac.

Re: VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS
Okay, When I started having this problem in july or august of 2012 after buying my first Mac, I used to mess around with the volume buttons, and try turning VO off and on a couple of times. Eventually, maybe after a few minutes, VO would come up talking. I asked about this problem on the list and Ricardo Walker suggested hitting Command F5 four times in quick succession. I don't know how he came up with that strategy, but it worked, and has continued to work every time VO flakes out on me after a good nights sleep. I don't know about five times, maybe that's a typo.

More On The iDatabase App
Hi! I've been playing around with both the iDatabase Apps - iDatabase for the Mac and iDatabase for IOS - and both are reasonably priced from the appropriate App stores however to use it would appear that iDatabase for IOS is a little more accessible, I'm not saying that the Mac version isn't accessible I just have to get used to the layout and learn what each item does when you click on it with Voiceover. In my scenario I have both Apps at my disposal so if one isn't quite as accessible as the other it doesn't matter so much as data between the 2 apps can be synced using the Cloud. The accessibility problem with the Mac App as far as I've found seems to be when you come to Define a new database or modify the structure of an existing one, all the elements are available for adding/inserting fields and you can see what sort of field you can use - that is a numeric field, big or small text field, date field and so on - but how to put them where you want them and how to tell iDatabase exactly what type of field you want, with iDatabase for IOS this procedure is a snap so I created some databases on y iPhone using iDatabase and synced them with the iMac. Entering records I found dead easy once I had the structure of database I was after, with the Mac just insert your text into the edit fields or adjust the date field, with the IOS App, double-tap on the field where you want to enter data and type or adjust as required. Overall if you're looking to organise personal data then i think that iDatabase is very worth while purchasing, its cheaper than the other database package I have here which is Bento and I think most users will get far more out of iDatabase than they ever would get out of Bento given the Interface of iDatabase is slick and far easier to work with. vcllbl Sent from Dane's iPhone +613400494862 --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: More On The iDatabase App
Hello Dane, Many thanks for your investigations. I’m very busy at the moment, so hope to play once everything has stopped for Christmas. From what I saw iDatabase is a very slim flat database i.e. not a relational database. Which probably mean I’ll need to use a open source back end and write php interface. If I want to use relational features. Thanks. Gena On 16 Dec 2013, at 14:12, Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net wrote: Hi!

Re: More On The iDatabase App
Hello Gena, You're correct that iDatabase is a flat database. If you need a relational database, I know that a number of people are using Tap Forms, which has both Mac and iOS apps that are accessible. I'm not sure about the status under Mavericks, but the developer has recently submitted a major update to the Mac App Store. This may not be of use to you, since you already have iDatabase. There are recent MacWorld reviews of both iDatabase and Tap Forms, if anyone wants to read up more about these apps.

Re: More On The iDatabase App
No problem, I had needed to play with iDatabase in any case as I bought it quite some time ago though I never knew the existence of the Mac version of the App until you pointed it out. As you point out, iDatabase is not a relational database manager but its still very good for managing personal data requirements, I'm going to be using it to manage my expenses amongst other things. Databases and related software have always been a passion of mine ever since I started using computers full time and started programming with DBase and entering information at the . prompt.

MacUpdate Holiday Bundle Sale ($39.99 for 10 apps)
Hi All, I'm posting details about a MacUpdate Bundle that is on sale for the next day and a bit. This might be of particular interest to users who want to read Windows formatted hard drives from their Macs. Some of the interesting apps in the bundle are Cocktail, a very good maintenance app for the Mac that lets you clean, repair and optimize your Mac (lists for $19), ExpanDrive, a GUI-based FTP/SFTP application for transferring files (lists for $39.95), and Paragon 2-in-1, a pair of utilities that lets you read NTFS-formatted Windows drives on your Mac and HFS+ formatted Mac drives on your Windows machine (lists for $29.90). (Note that I have no experience using the Paragon software; I have heard several VoiceOver users mention the utility for reading NTFS drives from the Mac, and one person has said they have used the application for reading Mac drives from Windows. Other list members use the present version of ExpanDrive 3, and may comment. I've used the previous version of ExpanDrive (now I use the Transmit app for FTP), and it had some nice features like the ability to automatically reconnect to servers when you moved to a new location, which was nice with a laptop. There are some apps that are clearly visually oriented, like iStopMotion. The Anonymizer and Backup services might be accessible. You can usually download a trial bundle from the web site to decide on before purchasing. They also let you designate licenses for individual apps to be sent to another user (in case you already have one of the apps in the bundle, or are not interested in its functions.) The one important point about MacUpdate discount promos and bundles is that you do need to create a login account, and that requires a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA (although someone did tell me about getting in touch with the site managers for help with the account creation.). Your login account contains a history of your purchases with receipts, activation codes, and links to the software download that you can return to at any time. Here's a link to the URL for the current MacUpdate Holiday Bundle: https://deals.macupdate.com/deal/15082/december-holiday-bundle I'll also paste in an email flyer I received that describes some of these apps: begin quote Have you had a chance to --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

iTunes randomly opening on my mac
HI guys, I'm running OS 10 Mavericks on my mac, and lately, I've noticed that iTunes will open just randomly. Like without me pressing any keys, or doing anything to open it.

Hello George, Reformatting drives is done with the Disk Utility application, but before you reformat your drive, or erase your partition, you might want to try doing some troubleshooting.

Re: making Facebook accessible on the mac
I used to use something called menu tab for Facebook. I honestly don’t know how the latest versions are doing, though. I personally have never used facebook messenger. I *think* you can use Skype for your Facebook friends and contacts and chat with people on facebook that way and it’s easier. Other then that, I use the mobile site if I have to use facebook from my mac. My preference is to use facebook from my i devices because I think it’s easier to deal with. I don’t think this is a vo issue, though, rather an issue with facebook accessability itself. they are constantly changing the interface over there, etc. Caitlyn On Dec 16, 2013, at 4:06 PM, Laurel and Stockard laurel.stock...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, What's the best way to make facebook accessible on the mac using voiceover?

AmpKit+ iOS app is on sale for $8.99
Hi All, For the guitarists on this list, AmpKit+ is on sale for $8.99, reduced from $19.99. I don't know whether there's interest in this kind of app here, but I know some other VoiceOver users who have pronounced this app to be awesome. There is an AppleVis directory entry for the free version of this app. The premium version that is on sale comes with a range of additional synths and features. This is a universal app that is also Audiobus compatible, so may be of particular interest to users of new iOS devices with the faster processors that are well-positioned to work with Audiobus-compatible music apps, which includes GarageBand for iOS, and route outputs of one amp into the inputs of others. (This works best on the new processors, which can keep up without stuttering or drag). App Store link to AmpKit+: • AmpKit+ (on sale for $8.99, usually lists for $19.99) by Agile Partners: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ampkit+/id385758778?mt=8 The App Store link to the free version of AmpKit is: • AmpKit (free version): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ampkit/id364011231?mt=8 You can also read the AppleVis entry for the free app: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/music/ampkit There is a user manual at the developer's web site: http://agilepartners.com/apps/ampkit/manual/ Here are links to a couple of recent reviews of the AmpKit+ app. (Use the Safari reader option): • MusicAppBlog Review of AmpKit+ March 8, 2013: http://www.musicappblog.com/ampkit-app-review/ • AmpKit+: Better Than the Real Thing?

Re: making Facebook accessible on the mac
If you want to make the FB mobile site easier to use you will need to activate the developer menu in safari. This is not as bad as it seems. I will email instructions later if you want as right now I feel like I've been kicked by a mule. lol! Basically you will do that and choose your agent to be firefox 11 for windows.

major improvement to US currency reading app!
Hi all, I just installed this update to the iNote app and it is much, much improved from the old version! It's much quicker than before and it offers one the ability to set it to display a choice of whether the result will be spoken, presented as a tone, or offered via vibration. For anyone who uses US currency, I absolutely recommend it. :-) - Laurie M. Here is the news release FYI: Upgraded Currency Reader App Launched by Bureau of Engraving and Printing A new version of the EyeNote™ mobile device application (app) that denominates U.S. currency was released by the Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) today, replacing the version originally launched in April 2011. The newer version is easier and quicker to operate because it uses a continuous scan function to identify the note, rather than requiring the user to take a picture. EyeNote™ can be downloaded for free onto many Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod products. It recognizes all Federal Reserve notes issued since 1996, including the new $100 note that began circulating in October, and communicates the denomination back to the user through an audible response (English or Spanish) or a vibration pulse mode for privacy. EyeNote™ was developed by BEP as an interim solution to increase accessibility to Federal Reserve notes among blind and visually impaired individuals while the U.S. government develops a system of raised tactile features to incorporate into future redesigned notes. “The recent enhancements made to the EyeNote™ app make it an even more effective tool to assist people in denominating U.S. currency,” said Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios. “It offers portability and speed, both requirements when used in a retail environment, and the convenience of not needing to carry around a separate reader by using one’s personal mobile device.” The EyeNote™ app has more than 14,000 downloads since the 2011 launch. Users who downloaded the original version of EyeNote™ will automatically receive notification on their devices that an updated version of the app is available to download. Others can download the upgraded version for free through the Apple App Store℠ via iTunes®.

Mavericks - Is it now time to upgrade?
When Mavericks was first released it was suggested on this list that voiceover Users should wait to upgrade. The question is that after a number of fixes is it now time to take the plunge? The aspect of the upgrade which most worries me is the complaint about Finder instability,- busy characteristics. I am a fan of column view which seems particularly vulnerable to this.

Discovering The Power Of The Calendar
Just goes to show what you find when you play around. I got an eMail with the dates for the Home Deliveries from my library for next year, I noticed that each had a link associated with it. By clicking on the link I was given several options, show day in Calendar, Copy and Create Event. The Create event made things incredibly easy, no need to type in events manually any longer. I was using my iPhone when I did all this so don't know how useable the whole process is on the Mac though I assume its much the same. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.
