Re: [Mac-access]: Compatible Mac Keyboards

2015-04-09 Thread wayne coles
hello as I said in a earlyer post I don’t think you can beat the logitek k750 
it also has all the keys on the right and a number pad also it is sola powered 
so no more batterys and you just put the reciever in a usb slot and go to the 
app store and type logitek and download the app and away you go

speaking of this, I am looking for an ergonomic keyboard which is compatible 
with the mac.

I’ve tried the microsoft wave one and the intellitype one, which are supposed 
to be mac compatible.  Both were recognized as a laptop keyboard, even though 
they both have the num pad attached.  I really want the full set of keys on the 
right side of my spacebar so I don’t have to do hand gymnastics for some 
commands!!

thanks,

 I did a Google search on compatible Mac keyboards and discovered the 
 Logitedh diNovo keyboard, its a Bluetooth board and seems to be very highly 
 regarded so I thought I'd give it a try, I've ordered one and I should have 
 it after Easter though I do warn anyone considering this keyboard that it 
 will set you back around $100.
 
 If anyone on the list has tried one of these boards then I'd be most 
 interested in hearing hwat you think or perhaps you've tried another Mac 
 compatible keyboard offering.

[Mac-access]: Deleting old calendar entries

2015-04-09 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello, 
I am running Mac OS 10.10.3 on my iMac and IOS 8.2 on my iPhone. I keep a 
shared calendar on iCloud. 

Is there an easy way to delete all calendar events before some specified date 
while retaining future instances of repeated events which were originally set 
up before that specified date? 

Currently my calendar is cluttered with events going back to November 2013. I 
would like to delete all events earlier than January 2015. Is there any easy 
way to do this other than delete them one event at a time? 

Many thanks.

[Mac-access]: I'm very agrevated! Trying to edit conf files. This is getting old, real fast!

2015-04-09 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
Guys,
 
I've got a Linux server which I need to be able to edit a few configuration
files on via SSH.  Yeah, I probably could try to look up a way to download
the files to my mac locally, open them in Text Edit, edit them, then
reupload them to the server as the modified versions, but then you stand a
chance of ownerships getting kurfunctified, and worse, permissions going
screw on me, thus making me have to chmod everything back to normal.  What a
pain in the behaunkis, especially if I don't know the permissions and owner
to start with.  Yeah yeah, I know, I know, ls is my friend.  
 
The problem I'm having is, everything works fine.  I can  use Voiceover all
day long to read the terminal window in detail, but as soon as I go into
nano, or pico, or God forbid, vi/vim, things start getting kind a weird.  As
I arrow in all four directions around the conf file, I find that what is
being read isn't quite normally where my actual cursor is located.  Usually
the insertion point will be either a line above or below, or a character
before or after.  It's quite inconsistent what it does, so I can't exactly
give you a definite pattern.  I've been kind of learning to deal with it,
but it's at the point now, where it is becoming incredibly annoying, and I
do mean, incredibly!  I'm seeing this both on Mavericks, and! on Yosemite.
I definitely do have Voiceover set to read the character that the cursor is
under, not the one it passes.  Obviously, because of this behavior, this
means, if I'm not extra extra careful, I'll wind up either deleting
something I don't mean to, uncommenting things I don't need/want to,
inserting things where they don't belong, or worst case scenareo, totally
booger bucking up the file to the point where I run whatever is attached to
the configuration, and garbage in, garbage out, bad data in, puke comes out.
So, is there really an easy way to consistently via SSH use a text editer to
edit conf files?  If not, then I'm really screwed, I guess, mainly because I
don't have the hardware resources right now to run a full fledged Linux
system, and I'm neither at a position, unfortunately, where I can reliably
run a virtual machine either.  Even if I could, the server I need to access
isn't on my localhost, so I'd have to SSH in anyway, one way or another.
 
Any help is profusely! appreciated.
 
Chris.

[Mac-access]: What To Do With An Apple Watch?

2015-04-09 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

Naturally the subject of the Apple Watch has been discussed here and I 
did wonder why I'd need to buy one.


I follow the developer of the excellent Voice Dream Reader IOS App on 
Twitter and it turns out that he is doing some experimentation with an 
Apple Watch to see if he may come up with a reading App for it, nothing 
concrete obviously as yet but at least we know that someone is testing 
and researching.

Thanks for that mate, I found it, while I was in the keyboard help.

Can you tell me how I can get my current account to auto-login? I tried
looking in system preferences where it deals with user accounts and login
options, but, it's been so long since I've had one of these in me hands,
I've forgotten more than I'd like.
