Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion

2015-04-27 Thread Eileen Misrahi
I have been reading all of the posts here and tried on different occasions to 
respond. For other tech reasons that I don’t think is necessary for this 
thread, I’ll put my 2 sense in about BootCamp and what I needed to do to 
install it myself. Before I start, I want to suggest to listen to a podcast on 
CoolBlindTech regarding Wininstaller. It’s a software program that will provide 
one with a talking installer for Windows. I did not go that route, since I am 
still not fully confident in advance skills on the Mac side. I used the 
following apps to install Win 8.0 with no (sort of) sighted assistance. They 
include KNFB Reader, BeMyEyes, the Applevis guidelines, and Facetime. Here is 
what I found that helped me. 

1. The Applevis guidelines was sort of helpful. The dialog pages when 
installing Win 8.0 didn’t pair up with the information written in the 
guidelines. Hence, you need to be careful on which keystroke you used and 
where. That said, the keystrokes when matched to the correct dialog page were 
very helpful. 
2. When using the KNFB Reader, I first increased the brightness of the Mac’s 
screen to 100%. This gave me very accurate results in the image scan with KNFB. 
It also allowed me to locate the precise section in the Applevis guideline text 
for the correct keystrokes to use. 
3. I used BeMyEyes to confirm the 04 bootcamp drive. Since this is a critical 
point in the installation, I didn’t want to reformat the wrong disk. I  also 
had the individual assist me in the confirmation of the advance button in disk 
options and the format button at this point. I did that because I had the 
sighted person on the other end. 
4. However, I had some difficulties in accessing the next button. It was 
located in the lower right hand corner and the only method to access it was 
with the trackpad.
5. I contacted an AT sighted  buddy of mine through Facetime and  with his 
guidance in which direction to move my finger on the mouse, I was able to 
select the next button and left click on it. It was a challenge, but very 
rewarding knowing that I was able to install Win 8.0 on my own. My AT friend 
learn something that he may be able to use in the future to assist someone else 
that wants to install Windows into BootCamp, but does not have sighted 
assistance available. 

Sorry for this long reply, but I thought others would like to know my creative 
resolution to a task that is really not accessible to the visually impaired to 
complete without sighted assistance. HTH. 

Warmest regards, 
Eileen

 Having said that there are some reasons why you may need Boot camp.
 1. Hardware support. It is possible that some hardware will not necessarily 
 play nicely with Fusion. Mainstream devices should be fine but for example I 
 could never get my specialist VIP hardware EyePal scanner to work under 
 Fusion. As I now use this on a Windows machine this does not matter for me 
 but may be an issue if Fusion is your only Windows option.
 2. Resources. Actually I find a Fusion Virtual Machine pretty fast on a Mac 
 but theoretically all resources are available to a Boot Camp install so 
 should be more powerful. However as I say my Fusion installs seem fast enough 
 and certainly boots up faster than Boot Camp. I would recommend that if you 
 go the Fusion route you modify at the outset the Ram and processor cores 
 available to your Fusion VM  as the default is pretty skimpy. Actually if you 
 go the Boot camp route you should also increase the max disk space allocated 
 as this is also skimpy by default.
 
 It is important to in Fusion that you settle down your processor core and 
 memory allocation at the beginning as otherwise this will create possible 
 activation issues for your windows install and certainly Jaws. I routinely 
 use NVDA until this is all sorted out.

2015-04-27 Thread Sarah k Alawami
You can use the native camera app. Youtube capture is horrible to use and they 
never improved it in the 3 years I'e been trying to use it. Remember though you 
only get 15 minutes as a limit. the camera app or any ios app actually can't go 
 above that limit to upload videos. It cuts off after that specified time so 
let's say you have an our long video you recorded and you want to upload that 
to youtube, it will only upload the first 15 minutes.

[Mac-access]: Uploading Video To Youtube From IOS Devices

2015-04-27 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

This is an area I know next to nothing about, I'm inquiring on behalf of 
a friend who wishes to do this.


I know that there's a Youtube Capture App out there, I don't have an 
iPhone so can't try this App for myself, how accessible or other wise is 
this App or is there another alternative method which can be used which 
might be both easier to use and more accessible?

Okay, so the upload option for youtube, is that under Share in the 
Camera App?

You can use the native camera app. Youtube capture is horrible to use and they 
never improved it in the 3 years I'e been trying to use it. Remember though you 
only get 15 minutes as a limit. the camera app or any ios app actually can't go 
 above that limit to upload videos. It cuts off after that specified time so 
let's say you have an our long video you recorded and you want to upload that 
to youtube, it will only upload the first 15 minutes.

 hi, I've already enabled the use voiceover on the login screen but, it
 doesn't seem to want to enable itself. I have to tap command+f5
 to read the prompt for username, at which point I enter in my apple ID
 then tab for my password, then the thing boots up and voiceover comes up
 talking.
 as for auto login, I've trued, but can't seem to find that option anywhere.
 oh well, I'll keep rooting around, I'm sure I'll find it somewhere.

 Usually, if you have voiceover turned on, it will start talking when the
 machine reboots.  However, if it doesn't do this, you'll need to go into
 your account settings, and check the box that says use voiceover on login
 screen.
 If you want to have it log you in automatically, and there's only one
 account on the machine, you can select that option in your account
 preferences as well.  You may be able to select the user to log in as if you
 have multiple accounts, but I don't know this for sure, as I've never used
 the login automatically option, since I don't like folks having access to my
 machine w/o me around to validate them.
 Hope this helps, and that it's still valid, since 10.9 isn't an s version
 I've used (yet) but the steps should be pretty similar regardless.

 also is there a way I can for my mac to auto-login to my current user

Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion

2015-04-27 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Hello. I'm limited on what I can answer per the guidelines of the list, but I 
personally love vmware fusion as I can flip between operating systems, how 
ever, I have a radio that takes a serial connection and for me Vmware does not 
play nice. That's the only disadvantage of vmware for me.

bootcamp is quite easy to install with out site. I modified an applevis guide 
to make it a bit easier to read. I'll email that to you off list so as not to 
get in to trouble. If I don't get to it by next week fire me an email off list 
and remind me. I'm going out of town on business, but I will  get that to you 
soon.

The other disadvantage btw about boot camp is  if you need to shrink the 
partition, let's say you made it too big, I have not found a way to do it in 
such a way to reallocate safely, but I could be wrong. I'm still learning the 
mac and all it can do after 5 years  owning one, and that's way cool! I'm not 
known for my long replies so with that I hope that helps.

Blessings and happy Sunday.

[Mac-access]: sorted out my voiceover startup issue.

2015-04-27 Thread blind man
It seems I’ve sorted out my voiceover auto-startup issue.

It would appear that if you have file vault enabled, it won’t start 
automatically. I’ve since turned it off and tested it with a restart and it 
comes up talking.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. It seems it was my own mistake that I 
never even gave a thought until just now.

  No, you need to toggle on VO if you have FileVault enabled.  I use it on my 
laptop for security purposes. Otherwise, as long as you have it set to 
automatically start in the login window, it should work on non-FileVault 
systems.

 Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. It seems it was my own mistake that

Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion

2015-04-27 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
Yeah, William, if people have spent the $99 to buy it.  Plus, KNFB reader 
doesn't really do that great, in my personal experience, with reading 
computer monitors.  Plus, the buttons like Next, and Cancel, etc have 
underlined letters so you know what key to hit with your alt key.  KNFB 
isn't gonna tell you what those underlined hotkey letters are.  Plus, If you 
wanted to use the mouse to get through the installer, KNFB isn't going to be 
able to direct your mouse pointer to where you need to click.


I see where you're going with this, but it would probably be more headache 
than it's worth.  You'd probably do better with Be My Eyes, although, 
lately, I'm not so convinced of that after the problem that every one of my 
I O S devices seem to be having according to the sighted vollenteers.  But, 
that's for another post.

Brian,

I'm unsure if they would help you installing Windows.  It's really hard to
say.  I think it would be up to their disgression.  Most likely though,
they'd probably not.  They'd probaby help you get the Bootcamp partition 
set

up, but that would be about the end of it.  Again though.  I'd call them.
It doesn't hurt to try.  The least they'd do is say no, so I don't wanna
discourage you from giving it a shot.

As for the advantages and disadvantages, it really just depends on what
you're doing.  The biggest thing is, with Bootcamp, you're booted directly
into Windows on its own partition.  With VMWare Fusion or the like, the
issue you're going to face is, for one thing, it'll take a little more 
work,

as certain keys on the keyboard will have to be remapped to work correctly
within Windows, it's not a big deal, just a little tedious.  Plus, realize
that then, you'll be using system resources both for OSX and for Windows 
at

the same time.  Again, it depends on how processor intense and how memory
intense the stuff in Windows can be that you need to accomplish.

Me personally?  I use Bootcamp, but yeah... that's just me personally.
Plus, with me being an audio engineer, I don't want any of my Windows 
stuff

touching my mac partition.  But again, I'm weird that way.

Chris.

[Mac-access]: Uploading Video To Youtube

2015-04-27 Thread Dane Trethowan
I've been thinking about the 15 minute restriction placed on video clips 
recorded with the camera of the iPhone, perhaps this restriction is not 
enforced by Apple but rather by Google themselves? I'm sure that Google 
would rather you use their Youtube Capture App for uploading to Youtube 
rather than anything Apple smile.

Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion

2015-04-27 Thread Ben J. Bloomgren
Wow, this is a good thread! The other thing that should be considered is the 
cost. I'd have to look it up, but I remember VMWare Fusion costing some 
money. I believe it was somewhere around fifty bucks or so in USD. I don't 
know if Bootcamp costs anything, being that its capabilities are built into 
OSX as far as I know. I could be basse-ackwards on this, but that's what 
I've heard.

Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion

2015-04-27 Thread gs
Disk space can be adjusted so there is no need to allocate more than necessary. 
with regard to Fusion

When I first switched to the Mac, I was convinced that I would really need 
bootcamp so I got everything ready, setup the bootcamp so that it was ready for 
the Windows install, and headed off to the Apple Store to try to get them to 
help me.  I was able to do so but it was with reluctance. They told me they 
were not supposed to help me install Windows, and I think if I had not been 
completely prepared, they would not have done so. I wouldn't count on that kind 
of assistance, and I doubt it has anything to do with whether one is in the UK 
or anywhere else. Still, it might be worth a try if you are desperate which I 
was.

Before I installed bootcamp, I had purchased VMWare Fusion since I knew I could 
install Windows unassisted. So I already had Fusion and Windows running. I 
admit that the bootcamp version of Windows ran better than the virtual machine, 
but the virtual machine runs well enough and has improved with updated versions 
of Fusion.

Within a month or so, I decided to remove the bootcamp partition for two 
reasons: 1. I have a Macbook Air with only 256 GB of SSD, and 2. I really like 
the ability to use both the Mac OS and Windows simultaneously. This was more 
important than the ability too boot into Windows. So I removed bootcamp to 
reclaim some space. I generally have not regretted removing the bootcamp 
partition. Fusion works well enough for my Windows. needs

Personally if I started from scratch on a new Mac I would not bother with Boot 
Camp and would rely upon Fusion.
I think it is 2 years since I  booted into Boot Camp.

Having said that there are some reasons why you may need Boot camp.
1. Hardware support. It is possible that some hardware will not necessarily 
play nicely with Fusion. Mainstream devices should be fine but for example I 
could never get my specialist VIP hardware EyePal scanner to work under Fusion. 
As I now use this on a Windows machine this does not matter for me but may be 
an issue if Fusion is your only Windows option.
2. Resources. Actually I find a Fusion Virtual Machine pretty fast on a Mac but 
theoretically all resources are available to a Boot Camp install so should be 
more powerful. However as I say my Fusion installs seem fast enough and 
certainly boots up faster than Boot Camp. I would recommend that if you go the 
Fusion route you modify at the outset the Ram and processor cores available to 
your Fusion VM  as the default is pretty skimpy. Actually if you go the Boot 
camp route you should also increase the max disk space allocated as this is 
also skimpy by default.

It is important to in Fusion that you settle down your processor core and 
memory allocation at the beginning as otherwise this will create possible 
activation issues for your windows install and certainly Jaws. I routinely use 
NVDA until this is all sorted out.

 Actually it's an apple thing as I was using work flow to record a video longer 
then 10 minutes from the work flow app, and it stopped  after 10 minutes. yet I 
was able to send a video to someone via messages from work flow that was 30 
minutes long. Quick time also has  the 15 minute restriction when you upload to 
youtube but you can upload up to 128 gig video if you wanted to from the 
website. I would not do that btw.

Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion

2015-04-27 Thread Mike Arrigo
I would use fusion for several reasons. First, you can install windows 
totally without sighted help, there is a quick install where you 
provide either the DVD or an ISO of Windows, tell it the product key 
and Fusion does the rest. Second, as you said, you can switch between 
the 2 operating systems without having to reboot. Finally, your Windows 
virtual machine is stored in one file, so it's really easy to back up. 
If something happens to it, just copy and replace it from a backup. 
About the only disadvantage with Fusion is that not all of your 
resources will be used by Windows, but if it's a high end machine, you 
shouldn't notice any delays.

Hi





I received my first Mac on Saturday. I have done a lot of studying and I
think I am quite proficient at the screen-reading with it.





However, I am very undecided about whether to use Windows with Bootcamp or
with VMWare. For my work, I do need to use Windows. This is a high spec
machine so I wanted to take advantage of that. But I have some questions.





I like the idea of having VMWare, so I can flick between different
operating systems. However, precisely please what are the advantages of
running it in Bootcamp as opposed to a virtual machine? If I ran it as a
Virtual Machine, what disadvantages would I notice? For example, would there
be any kind of delay when using a Windows screen-reader?





My other question relates to installing Windows. I've read a lot, and there
does not seem to be an easy way described with complete accuracy as to how
to install Windows without vision. This may seem like a strange question,
but if I booked an appointment at an Apple store to get some sighted help,
is that good etiquette? Are they likely to say no because I need to install
Windows?



I have the MacBook Pro, external keyboard and the Apple Superdrive which I
could take along there.





Thank you for any help.

Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion

2015-04-27 Thread Brian Hartgen
I would just like to thank people for their various opinions which have been
very helpful.

I have been thinking about this all day, and I think I am going to give the
virtual machine a try, especially as from what I have read here, I ought to
be able to do it alone. This machine has 16 GB of ram in it, it's brand new,
so it has to be worth a shot at least.
If it really does not work on the audio side with my audio production
software, that might just cajole me into using Amadeus Pro.


Thanks to everyone again.

I actually do all of my audio work on the mac, but I'm an almost seasoned mac 
user of 5 years so am very comfortable  workign with audio on the mac. I 
produce my voice overs for this company I volenteer for on the mac, my EP, 
albums and podcasts and it all works very very flawlessly.

Take care.

 Hi Chris
 
 What you say makes complete sense. I do a lot of audio work, so Bootcamp may
 be the way to go.

 Brian,
 
 I'm unsure if they would help you installing Windows.  It's really hard to
 say.  I think it would be up to their disgression.  Most likely though,
 they'd probably not.  They'd probaby help you get the Bootcamp partition set
 up, but that would be about the end of it.  Again though.  I'd call them.
 It doesn't hurt to try.  The least they'd do is say no, so I don't wanna
 discourage you from giving it a shot.
 
 As for the advantages and disadvantages, it really just depends on what
 you're doing.  The biggest thing is, with Bootcamp, you're booted directly
 into Windows on its own partition.  With VMWare Fusion or the like, the
 issue you're going to face is, for one thing, it'll take a little more work,
 as certain keys on the keyboard will have to be remapped to work correctly
 within Windows, it's not a big deal, just a little tedious.  Plus, realize
 that then, you'll be using system resources both for OSX and for Windows at
 the same time.  Again, it depends on how processor intense and how memory
 intense the stuff in Windows can be that you need to accomplish.
 
 Me personally?  I use Bootcamp, but yeah... that's just me personally.
 Plus, with me being an audio engineer, I don't want any of my Windows stuff
 touching my mac partition.  But again, I'm weird that way.
 
 Chris.
