[Mac-access]: iTunes ripping CDs help
Hi, I've only just noticed that, whereas most things in my iTunes library have a show in finder option, things I've ripped from CD don't. So these CDs are definitely in my library but I don't know where the actual files are. I want to be able to get at those ripped files and play them on other devices. Is there any way of getting at them? Or is that just the way it works, does iTunes hide them away somewhere and we can't get at them?

[Mac-access]: ITunes U help
Hi, I've recently started using iTunes U on my Mac and am finding that, after I delete materials which have been downloaded, iTunes keeps going and downloading them again. I assume this isn't meant to happen? Does anyone know why this might be happening? Also is there any way of it not telling me which materials are available but just the ones which I've downloaded? I suppose I've got used to how Downcast treats podcasts and I like the fact that I can view what I've downloaded and then when I want to, look at what else is in the feed. iTunes U seems to automatically just show what's available and I'm thinking this is going to get more and more tedious the longer I use it because I'll have to move past all the stuff I've already heard in the materials list before figuring out whether there's anything new.

Cmd Option ' did it, thanks. It's possible I misheard the podcast. Out of interest how did you or anyone discover this keyboard shortcut? Since it doesn't seem to be in the menus anywhere…?

Re: Downcast adding a podcast help
Hi, Thanks. Not sure what Shift Command t is meant to do but it doesn't do anything for me. But I went into that table and interacted with the search like you said, typed in the box and pressed Enter. I then stopped interacting with it and the table and then went across to the search results. The troublesome bit which still puts me off sometimes is in order to get to the search bit you need to go past the specify url bit, and every time you go past that it pops up asking for a url but then you can just press escape and carry on moving through the table to find the search bit.

Re: Safari Reader help
Hi, I'm a bit confused actually. In a previous conversation someone said they liked to add articles from Vienna to Safari Reader. So I carried on using that phrase. Now I notice Vienna actually calls that option add to Safari reading list. So now looking at it yes this is where my articles are listed. It seems useful but I seem to get stuck in it sometimes and not be able to get focused back on other tabs/bits of the window. Would like to try and get the Safari Reader working as well though but every time I look at it in the menu it's dimmed. Does this just depend on the website or is there something I need to do to enable it or something? Could anyone send me an url which should work with the Reader so I can see if it's working? Thanks, Catherine On 5/28/14, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: I think Safari Reader is something different from the Reading List. The Reader with Command shift R is a brilliant feature where Safari will strip aloud all the extraneous links etc. and simply read the important contents of say a news article to you. So if I go to say a BBC News Page story I routinely just hit command shift R on that page and Voiceover will read out the important text of that page to me without me having to take any further action. This is instant and is completely different, as far as I am aware, of saving content to a reading list. Safari will not always have the ability to provide Reader functions on all pages as it depends on how the page is constructed.

Notification Centre and facebook confusion
Hi, I get notifications from facebook in the notification centre and can't figure out why. There must be a facebook app somewhere on my Mac but I can't find it and I don't remember configuring it though I must have at some point. It must be an app because if I just go to facebook.com in safari it asks me to sign in. I'd like to find the app and switch it off or see what the options are. I know I can stop the notifications appearing by looking at System Preferences but I'd like to know where this app is and have a look at it. According to the Notifications System Preferences there's a listing for Share Button, Facebook and I'm wondering where this Share Button thing is. Can't find it in the apps folder or by searching with spotlight or looking through launchpad. Can anyone enlighten me about facebook in the notification centre and/or share button?

How to rate the currently playing track in Itunes?
Hi all, Can anyone help me rate the currently playing track in Itunes? I have a large playlist. There's a table containing the songs in the playlist and when I first hear a song I want to rate I interact with the table and am automatically focused on the currently playing song so I can easily rate it. But what about later if I want to rate another song? When I interact with the table again I'm still focused on the last song I rated. How can I either make it automatically focus on the currently playing song or find which song is playing? Is it possible? I have a feeling it might be to do with the keyboard focus or the mouse pointer is as opposed to the VO cursor but not sure what to do...

Mail sending alerts to myself?
Hi, Most of the time I read my gmail n the web, but occasionally use Mail. Every now and then Mail of its own accord sends a message from my gmail account to my gmail account telling me about the time of a meeting. To my knowledge I haven't set this up anywhere - I haven't ever entered anything in a calendar on the Mac or set anything to send myself e-mail alerts. This always seems to happen regarding meetings arranged by the same person. She sends me e-mails, which I read on the web, about meetings and then I write them down on a completely unrelated device (my braillenote which isn't synched to mail or calendar or anything). Can anyone explain how these e-mail alerts get automatically sent? There must be some setting somewhere either on the Mac or in gmail I don't know about. It's quite odd and unnerving when this happens...

Re: YoruFukuru help
Hi Dane, Sarah, Thanks for the info on how to find and follow a user Dane. Sarah great, I'll have a listen to those podcasts. I subscribe to tffp in my pod catcher Icatcher but just had a look through episodes not downloaded and the ones you link to don't seem to be listed. Wonder if I need to look back further or maybe you had a different feed address before... The next difficulty I'm having is trying to look at older tweets than the ones currently being displayed. Need to go back over the last few days and they're not displayed in the table. Went to preferences and told it to display 800 tweets but it doesn't seem to have done this. In an attempt to find help on this went into the help menu. Always struggle with help menus on the Mac, VO normally says search results interactive and I then can't get anything spoken and normally give up and press escape. This time I thought, since it was described as search results interactive, I'll try typing something in there. So typed older meaning to search help for older, pressed Enter, upon which I sent out a tweet just saying older. How embarrassing. Maybe people will think it's my birthday? lol Will have a listen to the podcasts next anyway...

On Oct 19, 2013, at 9:40 AM, Catherine Turner catherineturner2...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi all, Can anyone give me any hints about using a headset with my Mac? I have one which I can get working sometimes and not oner times. It's a Logitech H800 headset. It's meant to have both bluetooth and wireless which I thin complicates matters. The headset has three positions in the device selecter switch which I believe are off, bluetooth and wireless. Although it's hard to tell because sometimes when the audio has come through, I switch to the off position and the audio carries on coming no matter which position I pt the switch to. So I put the dongle in and switch the headset to what I believe is the wireless position. No sound comes through. I go to sound in system preferences and to the output tab, and here I am stumped because it seems impossible to just look through the available options with VO without actually picking one. So it starts set on internal speakers and there are 5 rows in the table but as soon as I start moving down the table VO goes silent, presumably because the sound is trying to output to a device which isn't connected/working. I have had this headset working a few times and I just can't fathom any pattern involving which switch I select, whether I put the dongle in first or last, whether I try to connect via the headset name in men extras/bluetooth or go to system preferences. It's possible the headset is faulty but this would seem odd as it has worked a few times and is quite new. Has anyone got any ideas? Is there any way of exploring those options in sound output under system preferences without actually activating them?

Problem using a headset
Hi all, Can anyone give me any hints about using a headset with my Mac? I have one which I can get working sometimes and not oner times. It's a Logitech H800 headset. It's meant to have both bluetooth and wireless which I thin complicates matters. The headset has three positions in the device selecter switch which I believe are off, bluetooth and wireless. Although it's hard to tell because sometimes when the audio has come through, I switch to the off position and the audio carries on coming no matter which position I pt the switch to. So I put the dongle in and switch the headset to what I believe is the wireless position. No sound comes through. I go to sound in system preferences and to the output tab, and here I am stumped because it seems impossible to just look through the available options with VO without actually picking one. So it starts set on internal speakers and there are 5 rows in the table but as soon as I start moving down the table VO goes silent, presumably because the sound is trying to output to a device which isn't connected/working. I have had this headset working a few times and I just can't fathom any pattern involving which switch I select, whether I put the dongle in first or last, whether I try to connect via the headset name in men extras/bluetooth or go to system preferences. It's possible the headset is faulty but this would seem odd as it has worked a few times and is quite new. Has anyone got any ideas? Is there any way of exploring those options in sound output under system preferences without actually activating them? And failing all that, has anyone got any recommendations of headsets which work properly for a baffled person like me?

Re: Setting up Mail

Hi, The Skype app isn't in the store, you have to go to Skype's website and get it from there.

Re: Starting apps automatically and warnings about downloading from web pages
Hi, Ah, well after doing a bit of googling I find that others have experienced this problem with Skype too, and a solution someone has written about involves doing some stuff in Terminal, I think basically switching off that warning just for that app. Has anyone used Terminal and is it accessible with VO?

Re: Identifying capital letters
Hi both, Thanks for your suggestion but I can't get it to do what I want. I changed it to play a tone when encountering a capital letter. THis seems to make it make a tone when I type a capital letter, but what I'm bothered about is knowing about the capitals when I'm arrowing up and down to read lines of text. It doesn't seem to make any difference to how it reads when I do this. In textedit I'd like to be able to arrow up and down the lines and have VO make some indication of the caps without also having to arrow left/right along a line…should this be possible? It's not doing that at the moment, perhaps it makes a difference what the cursor tracking options are set to…any ideas…?

Help with Itunes
Hi, My iPod isn't big enough for all my library, and I'd like iTunes to pick a selection of stuff and put it on there. I used to do autofill in an older version of iTunes. I can't find that function now. I'm not sure which version of iTunes I'm running now (and don't know how to find out but I did download it within the last month or so. I have itunes set not to sync automatically. Can anyone help?

Re: navigating around tables on web page
Hi Margaret, I struggle with this myself sometimes but will try and help. If you have a numpad I find it behaves most consistently with using the numpad - 8 and 2 are up and down and will go up and down cells in a column; 4 and 6 go left and right along a row. When you get to the bottom of a column and try to go down it wraps to the top of the next column - at least it does for me, but it's possible this is an option to be configured. If you don't use the numpad you can use a trackpad or the normal VO cursor navigation commands I think, but this is where I'm still hazy - it seems sometimes you may have to choose navigation from the rotor, and VO sometimes seems to automatically interact with a table or a cell and his makes a difference to how you navigate and I haven't figured it out enough to explain the properly - that's why I stick with the numpad which behaves consistently for me. Hope this helps a bit anyway, Catherine On 6/22/13, Margaret Booth margaretebo...@gmail.com wrote: Can someone please tell me how to navigate through a table on a web page using VO in Safari.

Help with mouse
Hello, I wonder if it's possible to control click a certain file in Explorer using the mouse with Voiceover. The reason I ask is I want to access the view previous versions item on a Dropbox file. From instructions I read this option appears after control clicking a file in Explorer - is there a keyboard equivalent of this? If not, I wonder how to get the mouse to the correct place and control click. It should also be possible to do this via the dropbox website but I can't ind the option that's meant to appear so maybe it's not visible to Voiceover in Safari. Anyhow I open Finder, have quick nag off, arrow to the file I want, press VO Command f5, then (with mouse keys on) press Control numpad 5. THis does option click on a file as the menu I want comes up, but it is not the file I wanted. It seems the mouse is stuck on one particular file and I can't get it to the file I want. ALso on this subject, I don't understand why in the commands help the command for mouse up and mouse downer the same? And how come there isn' a command for mouse left or mouse right? Has anyone got any ideas how I can option click a file? Or has anyone found another way to view previous versions of a file in Dropbox?

Re: Bluetooth/setting up a braille display
Hi Josh, I'm trying to use a Braillenote Apex (sold by Humanware). In the list of displays it is listed as a HIMS Braille Edge 40.

You can then move secret files onto this disk image and when finished eject the disk image. When you next open the disk image you enter the password which you defined when you created the disk image. When the disk image is not mounted its contents are invisible. To open the disk utility press Command+Shift+A in finder to open the list of applications. Locate the utilities folder and therein you will see the disk utility. Open that program and look for new in the file menu. Use that to create a new disk image with the desired level of encryption. This disk image will have the file extension DMG and as far as finder is concerned is just another file. When you subsequently open the DMG file you will be prompted for the password which you specified when you originally created the disk image. If you then press Shift+Command+C in finder you will see the disk image which now looks like an external disk. YOu open that and can then see all your secret files. The disk image is just like a regular disk so you can organise your secret files into folders. I hope the above will get you started.

This and other unpredictability's , including constraints on copying amounts of text to one paragraph, is why I never ever recommend the VO Enter method of copying from web pages. It is excessively clunky also in terms of keystrokes. The other selection and copying methods are in my experience far more predictable and reliable. Especially line selection via quick nav and the rota and or shift VO C. Because I cannot replicate your general difficulties with either the announcement of selected text or using shift VO C it is difficult to know what to suggest. I am not sure if there is a setting in Voiceover Utility to return settings to default, if so this might be worth trying. Also perhaps somebody could offer you a set of portable Voiceover settings to apply which may correct your difficulties. I am not sure how to do this but would be happy to do this if it helped. I may not be the best though as I am using an iMac with extended keyboard and using numpad commander. My settings may not suit somebody using a MacBook. I also have keys set up in keyboard shortcuts to run programs like Eyepal which you almost certainly do not have. Assuming you can eventually get Voiceover to behave properly you should find Shift VO C the easiest method as you do not have to select or even use the copy command, it is all done with the one keystroke. I use it to get around the copying of heading text problem on web pages frequently for example. Hope that you resolve this.

Re: Password protecting or encrypting a file?
Hi Paul, Thanks for this suggestion and instructions. I'm unsure about something though. When I go to create a new disk image there are two edit fields. One is called save as and the other is called name. I'm not sure what the difference between these is. The name is already filled in with disk image and the save as is blank. So do I leave the name as disk image and put some meaningful name of my choice in the save as box? Also after I've created it I'll be wanting to put a file n there which I already have with all the info I want. Will I be able to add that file (which is a plain text file at the moment) to the disk image? Or should I start from a different place - I chose create blank disk image from the file/new option… Thanks, Catherine On 4/28/13, Paul Hopewell hopew...@hopewell.org.uk wrote: Hello Catherine, you can use disk utility to create a mountable disk image which you can set up as encrypted via a password. You can then move secret files onto this disk image and when finished eject the disk image. When you next open the disk image you enter the password which you defined when you created the disk image. When the disk image is not mounted its contents are invisible. To open the disk utility press Command+Shift+A in finder to open the list of applications. Locate the utilities folder and therein you will see the disk utility. Open that program and look for new in the file menu. Use that to create a new disk image with the desired level of encryption. This disk image will have the file extension DMG and as far as finder is concerned is just another file. When you subsequently open the DMG file you will be prompted for the password which you specified when you originally created the disk image. If you then press Shift+Command+C in finder you will see the disk image which now looks like an external disk. YOu open that and can then see all your secret files. The disk image is just like a regular disk so you can organise your secret files into folders. I hope the above will get you started. If necessary get back to me and I can send you detailed step by step instructions.

Help selecting text on websites
Hi, I'm having trouble selecting text to copy from web pages and wonder if anyone can help me. According to my understanding of what I've read in the Voiceover manualI'm supposed to (with Quick Nav on) choose an item e.g. words from the rotor by pressing up and right arrow, or up and left arrow. THis I did. Then I'm supposed to press down arrow to move through the words which I can do. But it says to select an item press Shift down arrow. I don't understand whether I'm supposed to press shift down after I hear the word I want to select, or press Shift down several times, selecting word by word as I do so. Either way, I've been messing around with it, and when I press Shift down VO doesn't say anything at all. But I press Command c anyway to copy and then paste into notes with varying results. It seems, despite having chosen words from the rotor, when I pressed Shift down once I got several lines of text. And sometimes I don't get anything. I'm not convinced I've understood the instructions correctly. Could anyone explain how to select text while on a web page to me? I'm fine with selecting stuff with standard OSx commands but presumably these don't work on websites as I can't get them to work in that situation. Also when I go into VO keyboard help and press Shift down it doesn't say anything and I would have expected it to say select item or something if I've understood this correctly. Can anyone help?

Hi, I'm trying to use the Met Office's website to look at a weather forecast for my area. There are images for each day, I know this because a sighted person has confirmed it, but even though in Voiceover Utility I have navigate images set to always, according to Voiceover there is only one image on the page which is the advertisement. Is there anything I can do to make VO recognise that there are these images?

Paprika help please
Hi, Is anyone here using the Paprika recipe software on your Mac? I've installed it and imported some recipes, but at the moment I just can't find a way to actually open/read a recipe. I interact with the table of recipes and move onto one of them. I then either do VO space, or double tap the trackpad, or press up and down arrows with quick nav on, and I get an error sort of beep and VO says the name of recipe dimmed. I've also tried binging the mouse to the VO cursor with VO Command f5 and then clicking with VO shift space, and this doesn't do anything either. Can anyone help?

Help understanding/organising bookmarks in Safari
Hi, I'm struggling to understand how the bookmarks are organised in Safari and wonder if anyone can help me. Am I right in thinking that in order to get to any bookmarks not contained in the bookmarks bar I need to choose show all bookmarks from the bookmarks menu? I would like to create several folders, maybe the easiest thing would be to put these folders on the bookmarks bar. Because when I go to show all bookmarks I am confused by the ensuing window. I am never sure in this window when I need to interact with something and when I need to select it, or if merely by moving onto it I have selected it. I keep selecting bookmarks thinking this will take me to that website but it seems to select the text and think I want to rename it. Other than pressing VO space or double tapping on it, I can't think how else to say I want to go to this website now. Can anyone help me get my head round this? If not I guess I'll just have to put everything in the bookmarks bar but this seems a bit messy. Is there any way of having bookmarks folders showing from the bookmarks menu, or does it only show the bookmarks bar, and anything other than that you have to go to show all bookmarks?

Re: Entering Unicode characters
Hi Esther, I will look into Text Expander, it may be useful for me. It seems sometimes my substitutions are working and sometimes not, even taking into account cursoring up then down again, I must get someone sighted to look at what I'm doing ad see whether the substitutions are being made or not. I can't work out any pattern to what's happening. Maybe the semicolon immediately followed by an a only works when there's a space immediately before the semicolon as well which isn't much use for that particular substitution. That does seem to be the case actually, if I do a space then semicolon a it gets submitted but not in the middle of a word. And there is no space before the semicolon in the table of substitutions n preferences…I should maybe choose a different string to substitute...I must have a look at those other apps as well. Yes I can make use of the numpad on my Maltron keyboard, I haven't ventured much into the yet smile Thanks, Catherine On 4/16/13, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Catherine, I should have thought of having you move away and then back to the word or line in question to check that substitution was being done. The issue is that the screen dynamically updates, and your screen reader is telling you what it it read when you first navigated to that text. It doesn't refresh the content until you move off and then back on again. This can be one of the problems in using iOS apps, if one of the elements changes but the developer hasn't had the screen do a refresh. With third party text substitution software, there's generally a setting enabled by default to have a distinctive alert sound played when a substitution is made. This is what I hear when I use TextExpander on my Mac or TextExpander Touch on my iOS devices and a substitution has been made. It's also why, when I suggested that some list members might want to look into the aText text expansion software 15-day free trial version, I suggested that they go into the preferences pane (Command-comma), and change the default notification sound from click to something more distinctive. By the way, I think that part of my description of the aText text substitution software got cut off in the original post. I meant to detail one of my reasons for preferring the TextExpander interface is that it's easy to review the list of substituted strings, whereas in aText you get the list of your defined text snippets, but you have to VO-J to the detailed panel for editing, in order to read the substituted text string. On the other hand, aText sounds like a bargain for what it does at $4.99 -- seven times less than the TextExpander list price -- especially since it can now be used for synced Dropbox content, and I think also Google Drive. As I said, I hope some other list member checks this out in more detail from the aText web page: http://www.trankynam.com/atext/ I also read at the web page that some of the functionality of being able to do text expansion involving AppleScripts and shell scripts may be limited if you get the version from the Mac App store instead of the one at the developer's site. That's because of the restrictions placed on software in the Mac App store. While the policy limits the ability of malicious software to take over other software, it also limits the ability of your software to use certain system-wide actions, or bits of other software. It's difficult for me to do more than a casual test of the aText software because I already have TextExpander running for most of my text expansion. Catherine, I read that the Maltron one-handed keyboards also have a separate numpad. I don't know how convenient it is for you to use the number pad, but you could also customized those keys by turning on NumPad Commander in VoiceOver Utility, if that is a desirable option for you. I'm deleting some of the earlier messages in this thread, to keep the post from being too long. HTH.

Automatically interacting with HTML content?
Hi, Here I am with another newbie question…it seems sometimes in Safari VO automatically interacts with HTML content, and other times I have to keep making it interact.

Catherine On 4/15/13, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Catherine and Colin, I thought that Catherine was probably using TextEdit, but the instructions I gave her should have worked for Mail (and notes in Mail), too. Catherine, when you type in your first string, just type the semi-colon and the a, and then press tab. Then, in the next field, paste in the apostrophe with Command+v and press return. You want your string to end with a character, and you want your substituted text to also end with a character. If you're typing a space after the semi-colon and the a in the table, that might be the problem. If your Mac is accepting letters and key combinations from your Maltron keyboard, then you should be able to do the character substitution. Can you check whether you can use the Windows key of your Maltron keyboard as a Command key so that you can copy with Command+c and paste with Command+v? That's usually what works with PC keyboards that have a Windows key. If I type a note with ;a (where I omit the quotation marks, and where I've changed the substitution characters to match the ones you've used), as soon as I press the spacebar after typing the a, the string turns into an apostrophe for me. This should work for you, too. By the way, is it easier for you to repeat using the arrow keys to move to the Add button, or would you prefer to use item chooser menu (Control+Option+i) and type a d to move to the Add button? HTH.

Hi, Thank you, this worked, phew. Though it doesn't have the effect I was hoping for. I was wanting to press a key to skip past a load of links and get to the next non-link stuff on a page, I guess this isn't the keystroke I'm after, perhaps there's another one, I'll keep looking...

Re: Entering Unicode characters
the virtual keyboard for accented characters in languages other than English was painful. While TextExpander Touch on iOS only works with apps built to support it, any note-taking app worth its salt on iOS will have TextExpander support built in. There are also free trial demos for TextExpander on the Mac. Try the entry at the MacUpdate site: • TextExpander for Mac – On-the-fly typing accelerator http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19147/textexpander The Mac App Store entry for aText is: • aText ($4.99) by Tran Ky Nam Software (but remember this hasn't been checked out in detail yet) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/atext/id488566438?mt=12 Finally, if you do want more information on using the Character VIewer with VoiceOver, there are some extensive AppleVis forum posts by Nicolai Svendsen, who I think is still on this list, and myself. Here's a link to the forum discussion page in question: • using the special character itim pallet http://www.applevis.com/forum/os-x-mac-app-discussion/using-special-character-itim-pallet In case that link wraps, here's the shortened version: http://bit.ly/Xzbs5x HTH.

Entering Unicode characters
Hi, Has anyone ever entered characters by entering the unicode numbers? To cut a long story short I have a need to do this and cannot get it to work. I found some instructions about it and think I followed them properly,and now I am suppose to be able to hold down the option key and enter the required unicode numbers which should result in the corresponding character being entered. What seems to be happening is I hold down the option key and start typing numbers but it seems to accept the very first digit which I enter without waiting for the others, no matter how fast I type, and I am typing pretty quickly. What complicates matters, and is the reason I have the need for this in the first place, is I am using a special keyboard adapted for one handed typing and I am also using sticky keys. However I have tried on the Macbook keyboard itself and with sticky keys switched off and it does not seem to make a difference. I wonder if anyone has any ideas? And if I cannot get this to work, is there a way I can put certain characters somewhere in the menu so I can select them from there when I need them?

Re: Problem closing windows
Ah thank you - quitting the app was what I wanted to do and I hadn't come across that keystroke yet, or if I had I'd forgotten :-) I was looking in the file menu thinking something like that would be there, and so confused when the only close things were close window which were greyed out...I'm surprised the command doesn't seem to be in any of the menus...or perhaps I'm missing it...

Skype help please
Hi, I installed Skype and am having some problems getting started. I am in html content when the app starts and there's something saying Skype name combobox, and according to Voiceover I can type text or display a list of options with VO space. I tried typing text but Voiceover doesn't announce what I'm typing and when I get off that combobox and back on again it doesn't read any text so I don't know if I've typed it. Doing VO space doesn't do anything. Can anyone help? Am I misunderstanding somethingI tried interacting with the combobox as well and this doesn't seem to help...also if I get past this bit, if anyone can give me any other hints/info about using Skype I'd be grateful...

I think I've confused myself with the several ways of accomplishing the same task. So can anyone suggest a way I can do these two things? I do have quick nav switched on but I could switch it off if that makes a difference. 1. Say on a web page I want to navigate to a button, but after that read by line. So I can press b to get to the button, but after that how do I then read from then onwards by line? What keystrokes or gesture could I use? 2. In a table, if I want to move across a row cell by cell how do I do that? And how do I move down a column cell by cell? I'm currently set to have tables grouped, and I know how to change this if it helps, but still not quite sure what having tables grouped means... Thanks for any help.

Re: Help with web navigation please
Thanks Anne. I managed to get around the table by interacting with it. I'm finding it a bit confusing at the moment though because sometimes I press right arrow and I get the sound which indicates there's something wrong or there's nowhere to move to, and then I find I need to stop interacting with something in order to be able to use right arrow to get to the next element. It seems like sometimes VO is interacting with tables without me asking it to and sometimes it's not. Finding the whole thing quite confusing really, got to just keep trying I guess. Thanks for your help, Catherine On 3/23/13, Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk wrote: Hello Catherine, If you're navigating the Web in DOM mode, then with Quick Nav on, just the right arrow will take you to the next element which probably corresponds to a line or a sentence. Without Quick Nav, this would be VO-Right Arrow. In Groups mode, you'd have to interact with the group, then press VO-Down Arrow, or with Quick Nav, set it to Navigation and use the Down Arrow. As for navigating tables, you have to interact with the table, then VO-Right arrow will go along a row, and VO-Down Arrow will go down a column. You can read a whole row with VO-r.

Problem changing VO voice
Hi, I wanted to look at different options for the VO voice and changed it from being Alex to Daniel Compact. But now I'd like to change it back again and don't seem to have the option. When I get to the voice setting it says Daniel Compact locked. At some point I was messing around/looking around at the settings in system preferences for the system voice. I don't think I changed anything there but perhaps I did and this has messed up VO's voice settings? Does anyone have any ideas why I shouldn't be able to choose any other voices apart from Daniel Compact? When VO comes in the logon screen it's using the Alex voice but after that I get Daniel Compact and would like to change it again. Come to that, are there meant to be more voices than those two? Because they are the only two I've seen in my VO settings...I'm talking about the settings reached by pressing VO Command left and right arrows - I don't know if there's another place also for these settings...

Re: My Mac has arrived.
And on this subject, where do you get apps from? I mean you can obviously download them from various websites but is there, for exammple, an app store like there is on an Ipod?

I worked my way through the Voiceover tutorial and am now trying to get Voiceover to start automatically for the log on screen. I thought I had done the right things in system preferences but it didn't work, so have gone back to the instructions in the manual and am having trouble following them. The manual says, after going to Apple menu, system preferences, users and groups: In the account list, move the VoiceOver cursor to Login Options and press VO-Space bar. The first problem is I'm not 100 percent sure I'm in an account list because there doesn't seem to be anything saying account list. But I'm fairly sure I've found that bit - there's a list with current user, my user name, guest user etc. At the end of that list I find log in options but when I press VO spacebar there's just a ding sound as if I'm trying to click something which can't be clicked, and nothing happens. I then thought it might be because I need to put my password in, so I got out of the list and clicked the enter password to make changes button or something like that. Then I was asked to put my password in which I did, but on going back to that log in options in the accounts list I still get a ding and nothing. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong? I'm totally new to Mac so please let me off if I'm missing something obvious :-) Thanks, Catherine --- 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: Considering Mac, questions about Voiceover/access
Hi all, Wow, thanks for all the responses, I'll be reading through the links Phil gave. I've got a lot to think about then. I googled VM fusion and discover it's a way of running Windows on a Mac right? So I would need a copy of Windows and whatever else I wanted to run in Windows. I wonder where in the UK I could buy a full copy of Windows. I don't know much about this as I have always bought systems with Windows already installed and as far as I know the CDs that came with them were not full Windows CDs, just recovery CDs. Does anyone know anything about where I might buy Windows CD? There are several things that appeal to me about Mac, having heard a few podcasts and a friend demonstrating his to me recently. But one reason I was thinking of keeping my costs down. Because I have a dying laptop running Windows Vista and JAWS 10. The kinds of Windows laptops I'm looking at cost around £600. Plus to upgrade JAWS would cost £400 something. So I was thinking if I went for Mac with built-in screen reader that would be slightly cheaper. But if I decided for some reason I would need Windows sometimes this would increase the cost significantly, and I think I would need to use tables a fair bit. So I guess I'll keep this laptop going as long as possible and maybe I can get the money together to get a Mac plus Windows and VM fusion and JAWS latest version...and in the meantime start at least reading about how to use Mac and Voiceover. Thanks for all the help. I shall continue probably lurking on this list to learn more about Mac while I get ready/save up...

I suggest you also check out the very well done podcasts at www.htb2.com This man recently lost his eyesight in afganistan and now uses Macs to great effect. His casts are very positive, helpful and well-done. He covers subjects like web surfing with Safari (an excellent and easy to use web browser on the Mac) and many other topics of interest to blind mac users. --- 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/.

Considering Mac, questions about Voiceover/access
Hi all, I don't have a Mac at the moment but am considering getting one and have some questions about Voiceover and general Mac access which I wonder if people could help me with? 1. With word processing, is VO able to give font/formatting information? 2. I use spreadsheets a fair bit and databases a little. I currently use Excel with JAWS and quite often monitor certain cells so I can at a keystroke find out what's in them. Does anyone here do anything similar on Mac? How configurable is VO when working in spreadsheets e.g. is there a keystroke for reading a column total and can you set which row the total is in either in VO or the spreadsheet program? 3. Scanning/OCR - what are people using for this? How do you find it and what sort of things do you scan? 4. Sound editing and MIDI - I do a fair bit of sound editing in wave format, currently in Goldwave. I haven't started doing any MIDI yet but hope to in the future. So I don't know much about the MIDI but am just wondering if anyone is doing any Mac and what you use, how you're finding it. If anyone has any comments/feedback on the above questions that'd be great. Or if anyone here has switched from Windows to Mac and has any other observations I'd be interested in hearing them.
