RE: Transferring Music to Mac
This depends on a number of things. 1. whether the music was synched using your Maverick MacBook 2. or the music came from another iTunes installation such as one on a PC. 3. If it is music you have bought on iTunes. If it music synched from your Maverick computer it is already there. If it is music you have bought on iTunes you can download it onto any of your max 5 signed in iTunes installation but you need to amend settings to allow this - If it is from another iTunes installation on another computer then this is more complicated. If you are asking if you can use your iPod to transfer music from one computer to another like a USB drive this is not normally allowed and is certainly actively discouraged by Apple. I think there may be some unofficial Mac apps which can help but you will have to buy these. From what I have seen on their web sites Apple do not want to support this and all the messages I see on their sites stress that you should never regard your iPhone/iPad/iPod as a backup storage device. You should never consider it possible to transfer music content back off these devices. There are 2 reasons for this. Firstly Apple do not want their devices to support a potential function of music piracy. They say that on every iTunes library you should recreate your library using original sources CDs external drives etc. Secondly and more cynically, they want you to pay for this kind of flexibility through something called iTunes Match. the easiest way to achieve what I think you want is probably to subscribe to itunes Match for £21.99 for at least a year. This allows you to upload your entire iTunes Library into the cloud and can then download or stream it onto a specified number of devices, including your MacBook.

RE: Transferring Music to Mac
Well your options are then to purchase iTunes Match or recreate a library on your MacBook with original music sources. If you take the latter approach you will need really to decide which library you wish your iPod to be synched with. If you synch it with your Mavericks computer whilst it has no music on it this will delete the existing music on the iPod. You can nominate individual files to synch by going through your library and checking and unchecking them but this is a very tedious affair I find. To my mind Apple are just encouraging people to invest in Match with this approach.

This means that you have probably tried to open the DropBox app rather than your DropBox folder. There is little value in opening the DropBox app in this way and you will normally get this message. To open your dropbox folder hit command shift H to go to your home folder. Interact, open the main user folder , which will be your name and then inside that folder you will find Desktop, Documents, Downloads and then finally your DropBox folder. You can access and use your dropbox folder as a normal Finder folder from here. If you want a quicker way to getting there hit shift VO M on the dropbox folder and select make alias. This alias is like a Windows shortcut and you can for example copy or move it to the desktop. So you can get to your DropBox folder there. If you really need to get to the Dropbox app use VO M twice to get to menu extras and access the options there but getting to settings is an accessibility challenge with Voiceover in ML at least. What does it mean when I hear Downloads in stacks? I have not personally heard this but I think you may be hearing simply that a download has arrived. IT seems TO BE related to having a downloads stack in the dock which I personally do not have. It may be a Mavericks thing. A Google search on your question revealed the following explanation. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3739 Personally if I want to access the downloads folder I used option command L from Finder rather than the Dock. when I press voice over and space bar a folder does not open, why To open folders use command down arrow and command up arrow to close it again. Alternatively use command O but the above it easier I think. How do I know what operating system I am running apart from the version number, e.g. Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard, Mavorix? Excuse bad spelling. I am not on my Mac at the moment but from menmory this is all under the normal Apple Menu in Finder. Have you looked there for About my Mac or software update?

Re: Dropbox Folder on Doc
Hello Eleanor. It is just as easy or even easier to create an alias for drop box like someone mentioned earlier. This can be copied to the mac desktop which is the area that hold the drives or the original finder area. Once moved there you can access your folders very easily.

RE: Dropbox Folder on Doc
Well I am not sure that the Dock is a good way to access the DropBox folder or any folder in this way. I would suggest an alternative approach The thing about the Dock is it is great for cascading menus, so for example I have a folder of all my favourites on the dock, simply copied across from my windows PC and it works great but as I say it is in a cascading menu. This is fantastic for convenient access as the windows just put themselves away after use and do not need to be closed. For Dropbox I would suggest you do what I do which is ,I find, much more convenient. 1. Locate your dropBox folder. 2. Hit shift vo M to bring up the context menu and then select make alias. 3. Copy this alias to the Desktop. 4. With the dropbox alias highlight Shit VO 1 to allocate VO hotspot 1 to your DropBox folder alias. 5. Now hitting VO 1 will jump you straight to your Dropbox alias folder and you can then VO space on it to open it.

Hi remapping directions in fusion not working
Hi all, Just went to vmware fusion to add a key mapping for an insert key and I could not gedt out of the combo box to save the changes. I went to preferences and on the key mappings I clicked on add then in the from box I hit the grav key then went to the to combo box and went to make sure it was set to insert and then I could not get out of it. I hit vo space and it said confirm but was not sure what to do at that point as I kep getting stuck and had to keep clearing the box and starting over and that was a pain.

Re: Dropbox Folder on Doc

pages takes up a lot of cpu for the first few minutes
Hello to all. I have an old clunker of a mac which might be causing this but here you go when i launch pages i notice it takes up a lot of cpu starting a few minutes after i launch the app and continuing for a few more minutes. I hear a lot of hard drive activity when this happens. It only happens once then it's fine. It's like it is trying to write a cache of some kind, or trying to do an auto save just once. Does anyone have this with the new pages? I'm trying to recognize a pattern to this but I don't as of yet see one. macbook pro mid 2009 with 4 gigs of ram and 250 gig hard drive.

Bookmarks on iPad
Hello, I am setting up an iPad for a friend. I am familiar with the iPhone but not the iPad. the iPad has a bookmark in Safari which gives access to the iPad User Guide. I have created a Books folder on the iPad home screen containing ibooks. I would like to move the Safari bookmark for the iPad User Guide into my Books folder so that my friend sees it just like another book. Is that possible? I can foresee other cases where it would be useful to move selected Safari bookmarks into folders on the home screen. Is that possible? Many thanks.

Re: Backing up with Superduper
I’ve encountered this problem as well, and the solution is to use the tab and spacebar keys, and don’t, repeat, do not use the vo arrow keys to navigate in the scheduler. At least in the boxes where you check off what days to schedule, using the vo keys to navigate cause the boxes to automatically check when you land on them. So, use the tab key and when you come to a day you want to check, press spacebar on it. Strange I know, but that’s the deal.

Re: Renaming Alius Folder on Desktop
You hit the enter key on the folder you want to rename. This also works for files. at this point you can start typing and it will replace what is there. If you want to just change it hit voiceover keys and down arrow to interact with it and add or remove what you need to. Then hit enter and it should be all good.

RE: Renaming Alias Folder on Desktop
I do not understand the first part of your question. In relation to your second question these files are called alias because they are not the actual folder but a shortcut file pointing to the actual folder. So you can , for example, safely delete the alias to your dropbox folder without any impact on the actual dropbox folder. In short they perform the same function as shortcut on Windows.

Re: Dropbox Folder on Doc
Hi David, you mention below about your Favourites folder on the Dock and copied over from Windows. I would like to do same but how do I copy it over? I have it on a flash drive. Would I simply copy and paste? - Original Message - From: David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com To: 'OS X iOS Accessibility' mac-access@mac-access.net Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 3:38 PM Subject: RE: Dropbox Folder on Doc Well I am not sure that the Dock is a good way to access the DropBox folder or any folder in this way. I would suggest an alternative approach The thing about the Dock is it is great for cascading menus, so for example I have a folder of all my favourites on the dock, simply copied across from my windows PC and it works great but as I say it is in a cascading menu. This is fantastic for convenient access as the windows just put themselves away after use and do not need to be closed. For Dropbox I would suggest you do what I do which is ,I find, much more convenient. 1. Locate your dropBox folder. 2. Hit shift vo M to bring up the context menu and then select make alias. 3. Copy this alias to the Desktop. 4. With the dropbox alias highlight Shit VO 1 to allocate VO hotspot 1 to your DropBox folder alias. 5. Now hitting VO 1 will jump you straight to your Dropbox alias folder and you can then VO space on it to open it.

This means that you have probably tried to open the DropBox app rather than your DropBox folder. There is little value in opening the DropBox app in this way and you will normally get this message. To open your dropbox folder hit command shift H to go to your home folder. Interact, open the main user folder , which will be your name and then inside that folder you will find Desktop, Documents, Downloads and then finally your DropBox folder. You can access and use your dropbox folder as a normal Finder folder from here. If you want a quicker way to getting there hit shift VO M on the dropbox folder and select make alias. This alias is like a Windows shortcut and you can for example copy or move it to the desktop. So you can get to your DropBox folder there. If you really need to get to the Dropbox app use VO M twice to get to menu extras and access the options there but getting to settings is an accessibility challenge with Voiceover in ML at least. What does it mean when I hear Downloads in stacks? I have not personally heard this but I think you may be hearing simply that a download has arrived. IT seems TO BE related to having a downloads stack in the dock which I personally do not have. It may be a Mavericks thing. A Google search on your question revealed

Logitech H800 Wireless Headset, First Impressions
Okay I best get the bad points out of the way first, if you're looking for a clear sounding headset for Bluetooth chat with your IOS device - and your IOS device is one which can take advantage of Bluetooth 3.0 and higher - then forget this headset, as its Bluetooth 2.0 and not as good sounding as some others on the market particularly when it comes to Voice communications. Listening to music through the headset is okay but I can't help feeling that - for the money if its music you want - then you'll be far better served spending your hard earned cash on something specifically designed for music. I tried pairing the headset with my iMac using the supplied dongle, whilst sound through the headset was clear I couldn't get the microphone to work with Skype and I'm at a loss to know why, the input device is shown in Skype but there's no level. The headset is well designed, well laid out controls and even a storage compartment for the USB dongle when you're not using it. The design is one of those Fold Away types which allows for easy storage and transportation. The battery can be charged whilst you use the Headset and its claimed that you should get around 6 hours of battery life from the h*00. There's no doubt that the H800 is light and comfortable to wear. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane --- 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: New Voice Synthsiser For OSX
I read the directions and it looks way too complex for me to try. I did have wine installed once, and onl once. the catch is this, you need to have the server running. I wonder what happens if you forget to switch voice and accidental close out the server. Will it revert to what ever voice you had before switching to read? take care.

That is odd, I mean, if IBM Viavox in Linux, as in Voxin or TtSynth, why can't that package be modified to work in OSX?

I think the Eloquence port itself shouldn't be harmful in the least, but just be real real careful where you get Wine from to make it work! If you all need a safe, non-infected link, give me a bit and I'll have something on my web site you all can download. Being it's open source, it's not like I'm violating any terms by putting it in a more logical place, not to mention, a safer place. The readme says the link is hard to find the dmg. Excuse me, but, I found it on Google very! easily. It only took me maybe 2 or 3 minutes, if that. So, yeah... I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

using the track changes feature in osx pages?
Hey to all. Hope all are having a good monday. I have a simple question for y'all. I learned that track changes are now very much accessible in osx pages, which is a good thing as I need to turn in a peer review for a case study, and people will be peer reviewing my stuff for what I need to focus on. 1. How do I use these things 2 will they import when I save their document as word 3 will I be able to export my track changes for the student in question when I export this document I'm given back to word? Sorry about all of these questions. I've never in my 25 years of using a computer used these track changes. Take care to all and be blessed. --- 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/.

Wine
Hi, I had wine a while back… And it says it's supposed to make Mac applications of Windows things, or that was when I had it a while ago. What is it really meant for? Is it accessible? I had it a while ago and could never really figure it out. Thanks.

Re: Um...? New synth for OSX? What am I missing!
Maybe nuance, the makers of the whnth do not want it to work for some odd reason. the quit support the eloquence driver wa back in I believe 2009-2010 so the probably will not let you make a mac driver tha works truly with voice over like the acappella or infovox voices. I'm not a coding junkie so I can't real give any more info then that. Take care.

I thought that OSX was enough like Linux that things like this can be made to work. I prefer Eloquence and Voxin best of all synths I have ever heard.

Sad really as he could really do good with his coding knowledge. Take care all and be blessed.

I got the zip file and opened/unzipped it. In the readme included, there's a somewhat direct link to download Wine for OSX, which you'll need to make this work. Don't do it! It'll take you to a download manager you gotta download, and you have to use Windows to do so, for one thing as it's an e x e file. Secondly, once you open it, at least on my end, my Nod32 popped up, and let me tell you something, this isn't at all against nor meant to flame Dane in any way, as frankly, in Dane's defense, he may not have known, and may have been clueless of this fact, so ab, suh, lootly! no blame what so ever! is going to him regarding this. I mean it! None! So don't even? go there! I think he posted this with extremely good intentions, but just didn't probably know. My Nod32 popped up though and there were trogen horses all over! the dang archive! I mean, had I opened the download manager e x e file, Nod32 told me that there were about 1 gig's worth of malicious software that would have been infectively installed. In the longrun, I may have gotten the Wine dmg, but I would have gotten probably several, if not many viruses in the process. I've written Gordon about this off list, in greater detail, but we'll just say, that download manager you'll be directed to is quite harmful to your Windows system's health. I totally get this list is not for discussing Windows matters, and normally, I would have refraned, but this could harm people's computers! I can't just sit back with a straight poker face and do nothing/say nothing knowing in my mnind that this could infect many machines. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna do that to you all. I'm far from being a moderator of this list, and I don't pretend to play one either, but this is serious! I just hope and pray I get this message to you all before it's too late! Again, I have no reason to believe that Dane was in the wrong here. I truely feel he probably didn't know. And if he found a more direct lihnk to Wine instead of what's in the readme, then I profusely apologize. This isn't to single him nor call him out publicly.

Re: Wine
In itself, no. It's not exactly accessible. It lets you run Windows programs under OSX, or Linux, or whatever. This is starting to get more Windows related, which we all know is off topic for this list, and I'm gonna bet Gordon's probably gonna scream at us and tell us take it off list, knowing him, so, that said, write me off list if you have any more questions. ch...@clgproductions.com Chris. - Original Message - From: Josh Gregory joshkar...@gmail.com To: OS X iOS Accessibility mac-access@mac-access.net Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 11:30 PM Subject: Wine Hi, I had wine a while back… And it says it's supposed to make Mac applications of Windows things, or that was when I had it a while ago.

Trouble with Siri ever since iOS 6
More often than not, when I try to get Siri to search the web for something, I flick through the results and find myself stuck in the part of the screen where the listen button and battery and clock are. Has anyone else seen this? I haven't been able to find anyone else who is experienced this problem. I have been trying for more than a year to fix this and am out of ideas.
