Re: Apple's Xcode tutorial

[Geoff Waaler]

Hi Laurel and others,

In my experience, the silence was deafening when posting such questions 
here.  Once I received a private reply suggesting that I join the MV-DEV 
group.  Until recently, that sadly was a dead list, and I assumed that 
StoryBoards and InterfaceBuilder were pretty much unusable with VO. 
Recently, the MV-DEV list has come back to life, and apparently there are 
blind developers who are successfully exploiting these xCode features.  I 
have a lot to learn before I get out of lurking mode over there, but the one 
time I tried the tutorial I was totally lost and became discouraged before 
discovering a work-around.


Anyway, the link for the MV-DEV list is:

http://groups.google.com/group/mv-dev

From recent activity, I would think you'll have much better luck if you 

repost over there, and I will definitely follow the thread!!

Best regards.
Geoff

Subject: Apple's Xcode tutorial


Hi guys, so, I found a tutorial on starting out with Xcode by Apple. It 
starts by having you create a simple to do list app. I've made it as far 
as the "create storyboard" heading section, but now I'm stuck. Could 
somebody who is good at Xcode/with voiceover take a look at this and help 
me get unstuck? So far I've been able to make everything work well with 
voiceover. Here is the link 
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/RoadMapiOS/FirstTutorial.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011343-CH3-SW1


So, if somebody could give me some voiceover tutorials for creating 
storyboards and working with that and the next sections of the tutorial, 
I'd appreciate it. I'd also appreciate knowing what you guys think of this 
tutorial as a whole, helpful, or not.

Thanks
Laurel

Re: Finding the Computer's ID

[Sarah k Alawami]

Why do you need the conpyter's ID? Can you not just go to the app store, downed 
the app and install it?

Take care.

Sorry for the typo.
Of course my message should have said VLC plays WMA files fine without the

 Just updated to the latest VLC Media Player and it seems more accessible

 You can see the playlist in VLC and manipulate the items within, delete, 
 play etc, the items are laid out within a table.
 
 The media library control is extensive enough to include UPNP devices on 
 your network if they exist, such things may include a Media Server managed 
 by a Fritz! Box, Asus RTN56U router, a WD My Cloud drive, Windows 7 PC or 
 other mac.
 
 From here you can navigate the drive or drives connected to that server

I love vlc and always have loved it. It was always for me accessible as the
developer included help tags. I never used the play list as I didn't need
it.  The app plays everything including wmas if you have flip player
installed.

Re: Safari Power Saver

[Dane Trethowan]

I did suspect that but wasn't entirely sure as the article I read - though it 
mentioned the new Macbook Air - didn't say that this feature was specific to 
those machines so thanks for clearing that up.

Hi!

Hope I recalled the name of this feature correctly .

Was wondering if anyone knew about this feature which has been introduced into 
OSX Mavericks, I looked it up on the Apple OSX Knowledge base and its 
fascinating the way its supposed to work to say the least.

The article I read talks about the function working with Macbook Air computers 
so I'm wondering if it would work at all with a 2011 model iMac machine?

One of the things the Power Saver does is to compress memory on the fly when 
memory starts getting low thus providing more memory for other applications.

I love vlc and always have loved it. It was always for me accessible as the

The app plays everything including wmas if you have flip player installed.

Re: Anyone successfully using iBooks on Maverick?

Hi,

I am one of those who have found iBooks on the Mac to be frustrating. Have not 
done well and for now have gone back to iDevices.

Can anyone offer a few quick tips to improve readability and navigation. Maybe 
I have missed something.

Re: Anyone successfully using iBooks on Maverick?

[John Panarese]

   It depends on the layout of the book.  I've read about six books using 
iBooks on the Mac.  A lot of buttons are not labeled, but you can use 
VO-shift-h to have them identified and then use VO-slash to label them yourself.

Anyone successfully using iBooks on Maverick?

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
Is anyone successfully using iBooks on Maverick with VoiceOver? Or is iBooks on 
Maverick not yet fully accessible? 

First I have just opened a newly purchased iBook on Maverick and find that the 
scroll area contains 4 html files each corresponding to different parts of the 
book. I do not understand what is going on here. Opening a different book only 
has 3 html files in the scroll area. 

Second if I press command+t to open the table of contents I see a new window 
containing a table (I know it is a new window because I see it in the list of 
windows displayed by VO+F2). Unfortunately if I interact with that table the 
table goes away and the window containing that table closes. the same thing 
happens if I look at bookmarks. 

I mostly want to access the table of contents and use that to go to a desired 
section of the book. I also want to stop reading the book now and later return 
to where I left off. Is this possible on Maverick? 

Fortunately iBooks works much better on my iPhone 3GS under IOS 6. 

Should I expect iBooks to work OK with VoiceOver on Maverick? If so what am I 
doing wrong? 

Many thanks.

airPlay and OSX Mavericks

[Dane Trethowan]

Always something to discover or something I've missed long ago it seems .

I like the idea of being able to specify an airPlay device as your sound output 
device in System Preferences, that's a nifty feature that will save me a whole 
heap of time in the future.

What I've also found is that you cannot set individual airPlay devices for 
output as far as I know from other Apps.

For example if you set your Airport Express as your airPlay output device in 
Sound Output Devices then that's the only one you can use from other Apps.

I was hoping to be able to set a different airPlay device for Skype say, if I 
was in the kitchen I could set Skype to ring on my airPlay device I have out 
there thus guaranteeing I'd hear the phone ring whilst preparing meals etc.

As I say its unfortunate the airPlay feature isn't more flexible but perhaps 
that may come in time.

Anyway a nice start at least and it does mean that I don't have to use Airfoil 
to stream audio from audio sources - other than iTunes - to airPlay devices any 
longer from the Mac.

VLC Media Player, I Couldn't Be Happier

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

Just updated to the latest VLC Media Player and it seems more accessible than 
ever before, here are several things I've noticed.

You can see the playlist in VLC and manipulate the items within, delete, play 
etc, the items are laid out within a table.

The media library control is extensive enough to include UPNP devices on your 
network if they exist, such things may include a Media Server managed by a 
Fritz! Box, Asus RTN56U router, a WD My Cloud drive, Windows 7 PC or other mac.

>From here you can navigate the drive or drives connected to that server and 
>select or search for what you want to hear.

I haven't had a look at the Podcast directory or anything deeper as yet but 
others may have done so perhaps they can tell us what they found .

Tips for using iBooks on iMac with VoiceOver

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
does anyone have any tips on the best way to read iBooks under Mac OS 10.9.1 
using VoiceOver? Are any of the iBook preferences especially suitable for 
reading with VoiceOver? 

I can locate and open books OK and can move to and read next and prior pages 
and chapters. 

But I have not yet worked out how to do the following: 

- Stop reading now, turn off my iMac, start my iMac tomorrow and carry on 
reading from where I left off. 

- Stop reading now, go to the overall table of contents, and start reading 
somewhere else. When I press Command+T to get to the table of contents it seems 
to be a mini-table just for the current chapter rather than the entire book. If 
I try to interact with the table it goes away. 

I also have iBooks on my iPhone 3GS under IOS 6 latest version. I would like to 
be able to stop reading now on my iMac and later go to my iPhone and start 
reading where I left off on my iMac (and vice versa). I understand that this is 
possible but it is not yet obvious how to do it. 

Many thanks for any tips.
