RE: [Mac-Access]: Re: Stop The Tests, Please

2015-06-02 Thread David Griffith

I agree also that unfortunately this list needs to be closed until it can be
properly managed. The chaos of the events over the last week are
unprecedented in my experience.
Clearly Gordon is not in a position to respond to list problems so a
temporary closure seems most fair to the large numbers who are experiencing
problems and complaining about their inability to unsubscribe.

When domestic circumstances permit I suggest a one off email shot inviting a
renewal of subscription with clear valid unsubscribe information appended
would be the best way forward.

I agree with you Chris.  Regardless of your personal situation Lynn - for
which we are all sorry - the best and proper thing to do is close down the
server until you are all in a position to run things efficiently again in
the future.  This is not fair to those of us who no longer want to receive
mail, and who can't seem to unsubscribe or remove themselves from your clan.
It is clear you have major issues, but please don't inflict them on anyone

Lynn, if the method has changed, then for God sake, can you please tell us
how to do it?  I'm sorry for Gordon's situation, and I very genuinely hope
he's OK, but this has been going on before Friday.  Actually since last
Tuesday or so.  Have you not been seeing all the people who want to leave? 
I'm not asking you to remove me nor them, as you got too much on your plate
for that now, but mercy gracious! is it that much work to just tell us how
to do it ourselves since it's obviously changed?  It's not even at the
bottom of the footers.

Lynne, I have lots of respect for you and Gordon, and I've taken my concerns
off list with you all before, but now I'm going public, as frankly, this is
becoming ridiculous!  You're gonna hate me for saying this, and embarrassing
you on list, but frankly at this point, much as I hate doing this, and this
isn't my normal nature of personality, I must be blunt to say, if you can't
manage a list, and keep people in the loop, then don't!  Bottom line!  I'm
sorry to be so blunt, but I'm getting absolutely sick of this!  I don't hate
you, nor Gordon, don't even? go there! but, come on, who're you kidding. 
You work all day, Gordon is in the hospital, plus, there are other things
you told me about off list confidentially that I won't go into on list, but
lookit.  The point is, I know this list is you all's baby.  Especially
Gordon's, but really.  Do you all have the time to keep running this list on
your own?  I've said time after time again I'd help you all with admin tasks
if you needed me to.  Others too have agreed to help take some the load off
you all, and frankly, the offer still stands as far as I'm concerned, but
look.  Family comes before e-mail lists.  You gotta set your priorities.  I
know you don't like to hear this, but you honestly need to!  Again, I'm not
dismissing that Gordon is hurt, and again, for that, I'm so so sorry.  I
wish there was something on that front I physically could do, so don't think
I'm putting that concern aside.  I'm not.  But there is no shame in cutting
back, asking for help, or saying you know, this just isn't working.

Lynn whether I'm right or not.  Whether I'm out of line sending this or not,
put that aside just for one second.  Let's look at the facts.  This last few
weeks, how many have written the list, uptight in your word or not, leaving
out opinions here from you, Gordon, or others for that mind, just on a
technical level, how many have asked to leave the list.  Damn! I can think
of at least! minimum! 50 or 60.  Compared to all the members you all have,
that might seem insignificant, but trust me, that's a ton! for one and a
half weeks nearly.  I know one thing, if the list I ran started having
members doing that, I'd be slamming on the breaks so hard, you'd not know
what hitcha!  I'd be deathly! concerned to find out what in the sam hill! 
was causing everyone to leave.  Then, if I couldn't deal with it,  dammit,
I'd find someone who could.  Just know, you all don't have to do this alone.

Unfortunately it appears, fairly bizarrely, that nobody is listening or 
watching the list.
Perhaps somebody who knows Gordon personally can get in touch with him, or at 
least Lynne to try and get the list pulled until it can be resurrected in 
proper form with only those who want to be on the list participating.
in the meantime there is clearly no point in people adding to list traffic with

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

2015-04-27 Thread David Griffith

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.

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.

The tactile pro I have is a USB connected keyboard with two further USB ports

The other models you describe were not available when I ordered my keyboard so

The company are very responsive but I imagine nobody is there at the moment

Re: [Mac-access]: Compatible Mac Keyboards

2015-04-05 Thread David Griffith


I have the Tactile Pro.
I think the function keys are pretty much  identical to what you get on 
a   traditional Apple keyboard. That is I can mute, raise and decrease 
volume, launch itunes etc.


The only slight annoyance is that they have left the = key off the 
numpad and actually emulated the Windows numpad layout. The = key is 
used for bringing up the menu bar in numpad commander so is a useful 
command.


To resolve this I remapped the Voiceover help key on the numpad, which 
is the  minus   or dash key to be the menu key. You can still of course 
use VO H to bring up voiceover help if you need to.


Remapping the minus key to be the menu key rather than voiceover help is 
easy to do If you go to commanders in the Voiceover Utility table.


you can see under the mumpad tab the  whole range of key shortcuts 
available with numpad commander.
Simply find the minus/dash key in the commands table and on the pop up 
button
where it says bring up voiceover help  then press on that and navigate 
through the available commands and  replace this with the go to menu 
command.

Hope you enjoy your keyboard.

Re: [Mac-access]: Voice Dream Reader file backup

2015-04-01 Thread David Griffith

As I am currently on my Windows Machine I have to give instructions 
based on the Windows version of itunes but it should be similar if not 
identical to Mac iTunes.

If your phone is dying I thought it best not to wait until I am on my Mac.

Plug your phone into your Mac.
1. Open itunes.
2. Hit the iPhone Button.
3. Go to Apps on your phone.
4. Go to File Sharing.
5. In the list of File Sharing apps find Voicedream
6. In the list of Documents you will find one item called Library.
7. Hit the save button and select a folder location that you want to 
save the Voicedream Library to.



I have just done  this on my Windows machine and found a folder for each 
book. Some of  the files are Voicecream Specific but there are also 
text  and other readable versions of the documents there.

Put your finger near the center of the text that you wish to select, and double tap and hold until
you hear the sound. It is similar to moving an app. A popup will appear on the screen, with the
choices "define" and "copy". Double tap on copy, then paste into your file
using the editor from the rotor, or tap and hold on the area you wish to paste the text.

You need to ensure focus is on the apple store sign in window with window

and perform a virtual mouse click with shift VO Space in order to make the sign

There is an issue with Yosemite reported on another list where if you

However provided you completely open the message rather than using VO J

should work.

In your situation I would put headphones in an look at Sound settings 
under system preferences to make sure that speakers are enable.


Apart from this what I discovered was when I went into the Recovery 
Console was that my headphone socket was actually working fine. In 
the end I found that a re-install of MacOS from the Recovery sorted 
my problem.


So before taking any steps to sort out hardware I would run recovery 
console to see if the speakers work in that. That would focus the 
problem not on hardware but a an OS glitch.

Re: [Mac-access]: Repairing the mail database

2015-02-17 Thread David Griffith

There is a rebuild mailbox option right at the end of a long Mailbox 
menu in Apple Mail, which you could try.


I am not sure though if this is what you are looking for as I have never 
heard of a mail database.

Re: [Mac-access]: No sound from internal speaker on my 27 inch mac

2015-02-17 Thread David Griffith

I had the opposite problem last year when the headphone appeared to go 
on my iMac but the speaker was OK.


In your situation I would put headphones in an look at Sound settings 
under system preferences to make sure that speakers are enable.


Apart  from this what I discovered was when I went into the Recovery 
Console was that my headphone socket was actually working fine. In the 
end I found that a re-install of MacOS from the Recovery sorted my problem.


So before taking any steps to sort out hardware I would run recovery 
console to see if the speakers work in that. That would focus the 
problem not on hardware but a an OS glitch.

Re: [Mac-access]: YoruFukurou help

I am a bit of a novice myself but have found the app pretty

What I normally do with any app is to explore it it and go through all

whilst in the Twitter table pressing shift VO M to bring up the context 
menu also reveals shortcut options normally.


I am a very basic user though.

Re: [Mac-access]: Google Chrome

2015-01-31 Thread David Griffith

Webkit as I understand it unlrunderlies Safari code and not Chrome, 
though I would be happy to be corrected.
I don't quite understand why people are not seeing the obvious problem 
with the latest Google Chrome as it is pretty clear it has been badly 
broken since the last update,  and is unusable with Voiceover now using 
default dom view.  .
Basically for example if you go to www.bbc.co.uk/news you will now find 
it is impossible to read any news content with Voiceover using dom view. 
You can only read element like headings etc. by tedious pressing of the 
tab button with no ability to read any actual news content.


If you turn Chrome Vox on then the news content does become readable 
with that alternative screen reader but the previous accessibility which 
used to be possible with Voiceover has been broken.


There is a sort of workaround if you are comfortable switching to Groups 
rather than dom mode of web navigation. Mysteriously then some text  of 
web pages does become accessible to Voiceover but groups mode is not the 
most intuitive of interfaces.


Hopefully either accessibil...@apple.com and/or accessibil...@google.com 
can sort something out which can help these difficulties.


It would be nice if for once Google was proactive in its accessibility 
testing rather than reacting to the problems which so called "updates" 
create.

Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: question about mail app.

It sounds like you are in Classic View, which I personally have never
like and I have always preferred the standard modern view which will
deliver what you want.

   In standard modern view as you simply cursor down the message list,
with the default preview turned on, the message sender subject and the
first five lines of the email is automatically read out for you.  This
is enough for me to normally decide if I need to press the delete key
without even having to open the message.
In fact I can normally rely upon Preview rather than having to open messages
I think I may have set preview up to read the maximum as I really like
this feature and  find it a time saver.
As I say
you do not have to listen to all of it just press delete or continue
cursoing down to next message.

If I need to read the whole message I press VO J to read it and then VO
J to jump back to the message  and continue cursoring down.

Since Yosemite you sometines have to press VO J 3 times on the first
message you try to read.

The only real problem I have with Mail is the lack of a page down
function for navigating long text emails.

Re: [Mac-access]: question about mail app.

2015-01-25 Thread David Griffith

It sounds like you are in Classic View, which I personally have never 
like and I have always preferred the standard modern view which will 
deliver what you want.


 In standard modern view as you simply cursor down the message list, 
with the default preview turned on, the message sender subject and the 
first five lines of the email is automatically read out for you.  This 
is enough for me to normally decide if I need to press the delete key 
without even having to open the message.

In fact I can normally rely upon Preview rather than having to open messages
I think I may have set preview up to read the maximum as I really like 
this feature and  find it a time saver.

As I say
you do not have to listen to all of it just press delete or continue 
cursoing down to next message.


If I need to read the whole message I press VO J to read it and then VO 
J to jump back to the message  and continue cursoring down.


Since Yosemite you sometines have to press VO J 3 times on the first 
message you try to read.


The only real problem I have with Mail is the lack of a page down 
function for navigating long text emails.



David Griffith
The important thing to remember when moving down any table is to 
interact  first.
five lines of the email are read to me automatically - this is usually 
then VO J to have the mail read to me wiOn 25/01/2015 04:25, michael's

Re: [Mac-access]: over drive

2015-01-22 Thread David Griffith


I am using it successfully with the RNIB service.

It does require a bit of navigating around to get focus on the book you 
want.


From your email I am not entirely sure what difficulty you are having. 
However if you can locate the book you want to download, then by going 
to the file menu you should be able to find a download book option which 
may help you get your book down.

Re: [Mac-access]: Should I be scared of Yosemite?

2015-01-22 Thread David Griffith


In short no with the following provisos.

On my machine Yosemite starts to grind to a halt whenever  I use any of 
the Scansoft voices like Daniel Samantha etc. With Alex it works just fine.
I understand Accapella voices work OK as well but I have not got these 
installed.


2. Personally I also avoid setting up activities as this also seems to 
slow things down a bit.


Apart from this you should find Yosemite a very familiar environment. In 
my case I had to go to about my Mac on the Apple menu to confirm I did 
in fact have Yosemite installed as on first glance It seemed identical 
to Mavericks to me, which was in turn pretty similar to Mountain Lion.


There are a few minor changes, the command to add items to the dock has 
changed to command control shift T rather than command shift T.
The main annoyance for me in Yosemite is that it is harder to keep 
multiple Finder windows open automatically but I have got used to using 
the open in new window command to rectify this.
Also now in Mail when I first open the program I sometime have to hit VO 
J 3 times rather than once to start the first message reading.

Also when TextEdit opens you get an annoying iCloud file open dialogue
box which can be dismissed by pressing command N for anew document.

Advances are that Safari now works with normal cursor keys and selecting 
text to copy is straightforward now.
iBooks is far more usable and when you get used to it can provide a 
pleasant reading environment.

The iWorks suite is provided for free.
If you have an iPhone you can now make and answer calls directly from 
your Mac though I have not bothered.

Re: [Mac-access]: Seeking suggestions for a more powerful OS X clipboard

2015-01-09 Thread David Griffith

Well I have just tried it  out out as an experiment.  After an  installed  
it appears  perfectly usable with Voiceover.
 I went  to an email and copied various text from an email  text using Shift VO 
C..
I then went to Menu extra  and copy clip. I then hit VIO space to open up the 
menu.
I was then able to cursor down and see all the text clippings I had made to the 
clipboard.

I found that by pressing vo space on each lipping I was then able to reproduce 
all the various elements of text that I had copied from email into Text Edit 
using the normal command V command. 
I could not initially see how to paste  all the 
clippings at once but I only had a brief look. It is certainly possible to 
reproduce a list of clippings. It appears that it also possible to use command 
1, command 2 etc to paste clippings directly you have made but I did not try 
this out. . The only slightly clunky feature is that if you then hit the clear 
clippings menu option there is a window which you have to find with window 
chooser which enables you to confirm that you really want to clear all 
clippings.

I am not sure how much I will use it but it appears good fore a free app.

Re: [Mac-access]: Downloading MP3 files from Sendspace

2015-01-06 Thread David Griffith

I have already put instructions on how to do this on list a few times, most 
recently just before Christmas but briefly again.

1. Find an mp3 file in Finder.
2. Bring up file properties with command I.
3. tab into the scroll area until you find the open with  button.
4. Navigate across the open with dialogue until you find the  recommended apps 
button. Press this and change this to all apps.
5. Now navigate back to the list of applications, interact and select VLC from 
the available apps.
6. Check the box which asks if you want to make this apply to all files like 
this.
7. Now navigate down to the change all button and hit this. It is this final 
step which makes VLC the default player for mp3 files.   
 8. Close the properties windows with command W.

if you listen to the Podcast I did on using Vlc as a Radio Player you will hear

Re: [Mac-access]: incerting a page break.

2015-01-05 Thread David Griffith

Well I had a look at this and it is a bit weird but you can do it.

After researching on Google I found the following worked.

1. Make sure that TextEdit is wrapped to page rather than wrapped to window. 
The toggle for this is command shift W.
2. This is the weird bit. Press control  Q, then immediately, after control L 
and a page break character will be forced in.
the is no feedback from Voiceover that this is what you have achieved.
The weird bit is that you use   the control key rather than the command key to 
do this.. Also in wrap to page view I find it impossible to read and edit the 
text with normal arrow keys but have to use VO keys to read the text but in 
this mode Voiceover  does read the page break characters as well which is how I 
knew it has worked. .

So I suppose it is a fairly clunky 4 steps.
Do the above 3 steps and then check with Vo keys that it has worked, then press 
command shift W to shift wrap back to window and continue editing in the normal 
way.

Apparently copying and pasting the character also works so an alternative I 
suppose is to have a single line Textedit rtf document which simply consists of 
this, page break character and put it somewhere easy to retrieve like your 
desktop or dock and simply copy and paste it into further documents as needed.

I think Nicholas Parsons  on this list has created applescript scripts to 
deliver a word count for any selected text. he may provide a link or a search 
through Mail archives may reveal this.

Re: [Mac-access]: Libroffic VS pages

2015-01-05 Thread David Griffith

I had a look at Libre Office last week and my conclusion is that there is no 
real comparison really at the moment.
Libre Office has only clunky and limited Voiceover support. There is for 
example no way to read anything more than a paragraph at time. There is also a 
lot of irksome Voiceover verbosity chatter even when verbosity is set to low.

The suite is free so there is nothing to stop you having a try but I found it a 
frustrating environment to operate in and ended up deleting the app.
pages is also free if you have Yosemite. Purely personally TextEdit remains my 
Word Processor of choice on the mac.

Re: [Mac-access]: Is item chooser broken in Yosemite?

2015-01-01 Thread David Griffith


I think we need to compare websites  as I am not getting this at all.
In fact the feature of item chooser is that I no longer get the busy message, 
because of the new system. I certainly did under Mavericks.

The previous website I tried was www.bbc.co.uk/news and the symptoms you 
describe did not occur.

I just went to one of the biggest and most complicated pages I know 
http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/West+Ham+United 
<http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/West+Ham+United>

I again hit item   chooser but did not get a busy message. Pressing end on my 
keyboard did jump  me down to a loading more messages announcement  at the end 
of the chooser list.

If you are getting busy messages on these pages then your Mac is not behaving 
as mine and possibly something else  is up..

Just to check that you are using the Alex voice? If I use Scansoft voices 
Safari starts to glue up something terrible which may account for it.
Using Activities and Scansoft Voices makes a very poor experience in Safari I 
find.
I am using a 2011 iMac  with 16 GB of ram. I aisles use a SSD primary drive.

Re: [Mac-access]: Major irritation, and Baffling Wifi Trouble

2014-12-31 Thread David Griffith


I am afraid in this case of Yosemite your Mum may have had a point.

Luckily I have a constant ether net connection but I have observed 
people tearing their hair out on various lists over wifi connection 
issues since Yosemite came out. As you are aware Apple tried to address 
some of these Wi-Fi dropping out problems with the last Yosemite update 
but I have noted from reading RSS feeds etc that many are still 
complaining even after the latest update that the alleged fix from Apple 
has failed to resolve the problem.


I have not watched this too closely as I do not use Wi-Fi on my Mac but 
this is certainly one of the most regrettable deficiencies in the 
Yosemite release. The peculiar thing is that it seems failry random in 
the models it affects. I think people on this list have reported for 
example that their MBP connects fine with Yosemite whilst their MBA has 
this problem, or it might have been vice versa.


Sorry not to be more helpful but just to warn you it may not in fact be 
resolvable until until Apple finally mends this part of Yosemite.

Subject: [Mac-access]: Major irritation, and Baffling Wifi Trouble


OK, this is absolutely driving my mom and I both crazy!  Actually, I'm
writing this message on her behalf in hopes that we can figure this out.  I
told her that I fear, she might have a shot wifi adapter, but God only
knows!

So, here's the situation.  My mother went about a month  ago at the
beginning of December, to the Verizon store, and activated service with an
IPad Air... Not the newer Air, just the older first generation.  Nice unit,
by the way.  I bought a wifi only model about half a week later, if that
tells you all how jealous I was.  LOL!  Anyway, one thing about my mother
that you have to understand is, first off, she's not computer savvy at all.
She can do e-mail, and maybe incredibly basic internet browsing which mainly
consists of shopping on Amazon if needed, shopping on the Keurig web site,
then doing her online banking.  She can do more than that if she really puts
her mind to it, but it's extremely rare.  It literally took almost 3 years
to convince her to get a newer IPad.  She jumped from a wifi only first
generation up to what she now has.

One thing about my mom, too is, she never ever runs software updates.  I
don't care if it's a major update, or not, she simply refuses.  Every time
that an update comes out which addresses some of the issues she's having,
she tells me she's not going to do it, as quote unquote, it'll screw up her
system.  A lot of times, I wind up having to do the updates when she is at
work and I'm at home alone, just because otherwise, she'll find out and
throw her usual tantrom about why she doesn't want me doing anything.  I
could go on to tell you about how she didn't believe a word I said when I
told her Verizon won't take a 1st gen IPad, it's so old, never mind the fact
that it's not on their network, and is wifi only.  Never mind that she
didn't believe me when I told her you can't sync a backup of I O S 4 to an I
O S 8 device.  Finally the lady at the Verizon store had to basically set
her straight since my mom wouldn't listen to a darn thing I said.

Anyway, my point is, God knows what she's done, if anything to cause this.
It's really hard to say.  So, she gets her IPad, and she and I go back and
forth, forth and back, about how for her needs, Yosemite would be a good
free update, and would insure that things worked optymally with her new
IPad.  It took me almost 4 nights to finally convince her.  Finally, she
told me to do it, and run the update.  So, I get it updated for her, and all
is working flawlessly.  I turned on automatic updates, so that when one came
out, it would notify her.  I figured that might make her feel a bit more
confident to update things if she sees it pop up on her screen, as then she
doesn't have to take her stupid little son's word for things.  Pardon my
insult to myself.  LOL!  So, finally, about half a week ago, she comes
practically screaming! her head off at me from down stairs, "Chris, what the
hell did you do to my mac!"  I was like, um... for one, you mind being a bit
more polite?  Secondly, I didn't do anything... Why?  She starts barking
about how it doesn't work.  I ran an update and now it's gonna crash, she
knows it, as she's seeing early signs of it.  When I asked her to describe
to me the symptoms, she told

Yes the hope is that as all the apps get updated they will become accessible.

Re: [Mac-access]: Is item chooser broken in Yosemite?

2014-12-29 Thread David Griffith

I would not say it has broken but it has definitely changed.

What appears to happen now is that it is  available almost immediately but 
continues to increase in length of the chooser as you wait. . What used to 
happen is that on big web pages it would take a time for the item chooser to 
come up but then it would all be there.

Now  it comes up with the first 22 elements  almost immediately and continues  
to grow. I think this is what is happening but have no sighted help to confirm 
this.

So I went to www.bbc.co.uk/news and hit item chooser. 

The Thirst items on the chooser  were all items in the tool bar as expected but 
if I continually hit the end key on my keyboard the last item available on the 
item chooser was changing as further elements from the page was read into the 
list.
So if I am trying to find an element on the page and the list has not yet 
expanded to include all the elements of the page it is very possible that it 
would  not have got around to reading  the necessary element into the list and 
will not work. .

I guess this takes a bit of getting used to. The upside is that if you want to 
identify something at the top  of the page, especially in the Safari toolbar it 
is quicker than the old system, the downside is that there is no real way of 
telling when the list is fully populated apart from hitting the end key to jump 
to the bottom of the list and seeing where it has got up to on the page. It may 
also be slower at accessing elements at the end of pages than the old system.

I think this is what is happening.

Re: [Mac-access]: FLUCTUATING VOLUME WITH VO

2014-12-24 Thread David Griffith

I have never personally had this problem but I do not use airplay. There  are 
only 2 features I can think of which may be causing this.
1. audio Ducking. This is the feature where VO reduces the sound level of any 
program if the Voiceover synth is active. I enjoy this feature but you can turn 
it off in VO Utility to see if that helps.
2. Positional audio. This is the feature where Voiceover balance alters 
according to cursor positioning on the screen, I believe this is on by default 
but I turn it off.

It is probably neither of these things but I thought I would mention them.
You should both setting in VO Utility.

[Mac-access]: Getting started with text adventure on the Mac

2014-12-19 Thread David Griffith

Hello,
I have downloaded some of the text adventure games kindly adapted by travis to 
work under Terminal.
The only problem is that I cannot find any way of playing them. There are  no 
instructions or help file that I can detect.
The Txt file simply describes the game scenario and authorship but provides no 
instructions on hoe to interact with the game  .
 
Typing help or  question mark  at the command   prompt of Battlestar for 
example simply results in VO saying 
How's that?
>-: ?
A similar response is provided  if 
  I type turn right, turn left or walk forward.

I am sure that I am missing  the blindingly obvious  and this is all very 
simple really but could someone enlighten n me as to where I can find 
instructions for actually playing these games?

Re: [Mac-access]: Transferring files from the computer to the iPad?

2014-12-11 Thread David Griffith

A free easy solution is installing DropBox or Google Drive on both or either 
computer machines and iPad. Simply place the files in the dropbox or google 
drive folder and then they will be available on the iPad.
This will restrict you to playing one mp3 at a time from Dropbox on the iPad 
but this may be OK.

The are also apps like Phone Drive you could look at but 
 I have started using Waltr on the Mac and have to say that so far I am very 
impressed. This will definitely be my method of transferring content to iPad 
and iPhone from now on. It is a paid app but all you do is connect the iPad to 
Mac, start the program hit the oddly named but button and then point the 
program to what ever media content you want on your device and it transfers the 
files for playing on the iPad or iPhone with no need for iTunes or synching or 
anything like  that. The media  plays in the native iPad or iPhone Music player.

If you can really get it for just over £5 get it quick. You can sometimes get 
if fr about £25 on special offer but that is the cheapest I have seen it.
But check first as it does not sound right but if it is a m mistake go for it. 
Once on one machine you can install on both.

I do not use Preview but I understand that there are issues with Preview under 
Yosemite which require to interact twice before you can access the text.

A thing to try, if your wife can see the text, is to print the file, oddly to 
PDF. The OS X print dialogue allows you to print to PDF and this may result in 
another PDF file which is more friendly to Voiceover. Make sure it you give 
another file name.

Alternatively Do you have access to Nisus Writer Pro? This is a paid app but I 
use it on the mac to read PDF.
If the PDFs are inaccessible because they are either  graphics or DRM protected 
you may have to use something like Finereader to access them.

[Mac-access]: Finder Podcast 4

2014-12-07 Thread David Griffith


My Finder Podcast 4  is now on Apple Vis on
http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/introduction-using-finder-mac-os-x-part-4

The Apple Vis description of this Podcast follows.

In the fourth of his series of podcasts looking at the Finder on Mac OS 
X, David Griffith shows us how to use Folder Actions to create Download 
alerts. This is demonstrated by downloading from the RNIB Talking 
Newspaper and Magazine service.




In the podcast I also go into using iBooks to read Newspapers and magazines.

I will gradually update and upload my Podcast series to Apple Vis so if 
you subscribe there you should eventually get them all but  if you want 
access to previous Podcasts at any time I will email you the full list 
of download links off list so not to breach list guidelines.

Re: [Mac-access]: navigating by first letter on a list of songs on ITunes

2014-12-03 Thread David Griffith

Not Sarah  but 

1.  make sure you have column browser enabled.
Have songs as your sort order.

Now in iTunes you will have artist albums and songs arrange in alphabetical 
order.
Now in any column typing the first few letters of an album artist or song will 
jump you there.
However using this method you have to ensure 
a. that Quick Nav  is turned off.
b. That you only use the normal arrow keys. Us Using VO keys will abort the 
search.
I demonstrated this in my Podcast if you still have the link.

Re: [Mac-access]: UNINSTALLING AN APP

2014-11-28 Thread David Griffith

It sounds like you are having problems focussing on windows properly. I 
suspect you need to be using Window Chooser more  to navigate to these 
windows and get them in proper focus.

VO F2 and F2 again by default.
You can change this to something more intuitive like option W in 
Keyboard manager if you want
Also application chooser VO F1 and F1 again will also provide access to 
both apps running and windows.


Finally command accent will cycle between windows within a single app.

The other thing to check is that you have not turned cursor tracking off 
by mistake.

Hi, again, David

Sadly, the permissions repair hasn't done the trick!  Interestingly, these 
system dialogues seem to be getting hidden behind the Finder window since, when 
I shutdown the machine, I was again told there was a system dialogue and, on 
this occasion, I was able to read and action the continue button - mind you, 
doubt it did anything as the shutdown process was in progress!

Also, before this shutdown step, when I opened the lid of the Air to awaken the 
computer, before I was told to enter my password to logon, I was advised there 
were THREE system message boxes but, of course, couldn't navigate to them!

If I try a re-install, I go through the same cycle, ie partially spoken system 
message and no access to the continue button.

Is there a way with VO to force focus to hidden dialogues?

Thanks

Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: UNINSTALLING AN APP

I have never seen this behaviour on the Mac but I would take a number of steps

1. Go to System Preferences Security and the General and after clicking the 
lock to make changes make sure  that you can download apps from anywhere.
2. I would then go to Disk Utility and perform a disk permission repair on  
your hard drive. You will be able to get to the Utilities folder in Finder by 
pressing command shift U. Ideally you should do all this in the recovery 
console but try in Disk Utility first.
  3. You could then review your apps folder to see if VLC has reappeared. If 
not install one more time but I would restart your Mac before making this 
install.
4. It is normal to get the warning  dialogue you describe but you can normally 
navigate it. Hopefully a restart will sort this. Otherwise try pressing tab to 
navigate rather than vo cursor and pressing space bar on continue if you can 
get there. On any button if vo space does not work it is worth trying space or 
ever on it.

of the day.

Today, Friday, it has again disappeared from the applications window  and, so, 
I tried to re-install it a third time!However, now when I try this, I’m getting

the message saying that this is an app downloaded from the web.  However, the 
whole message isn’t read out and I can’t navigate to the dialogue box to read 
and activate the continue button.


I presume I’ve got the system confused due to my multiple installs and would 
appreciate any  suggestions as to how to uninstall an app on the Mac and, also, 
why VLC keeps disappearing after I close the system down at night.

I’m using Yosemite, by the way!

Thanks for any help.

I assume are navigating to your dropbox in finder using command shift H to go

If so this is again nor normal behaviour.
Have  you tried restarting? Again a disk permission repair seems to be in

Re: [Mac-access]: UNINSTALLING AN APP

2014-11-28 Thread David Griffith

I have never seen this behaviour on the Mac but I would take a number of steps

1. Go to System Preferences Security and the General and after clicking the 
lock to make changes make sure  that you can download apps from anywhere.
2. I would then go to Disk Utility and perform a disk permission repair on  
your hard drive. You will be able to get to the Utilities folder in Finder by 
pressing command shift U. Ideally you should do all this in the recovery 
console but try in Disk Utility first.
 3. You could then review your apps folder to see if VLC has reappeared. If not 
install one more time but I would restart your Mac before making this install.
4. It is normal to get the warning  dialogue you describe but you can normally 
navigate it. Hopefully a restart will sort this. Otherwise try pressing tab to 
navigate rather than vo cursor and pressing space bar on continue if you can 
get there. On any button if vo space does not work it is worth trying space or 
ever on it.

The Mac sendspace Wizard is harder work than the Windows version. Having said 
that I have found work arounds for virtually everything you need to do with the 
exception of finding anyway to copy and paste urls into the wizard to download. 
This means that each url has to be typed in manually which is a real pain.

If anybody else knows of away  around this  I would be glad to hear.

by the way logging in for the first time is also a challenge as there is no 
typing echo anywhere in the app.

[Mac-access]: Finder Podcast Series

2014-11-20 Thread David Griffith


I am taking a break from the Safari Podcast series though I may return.
Below is the first of a series on strategies for using Finder on the Mac.

This shows how to confine Spotlight searches to Finder windows.  It also 
describes how to restrict the search results to file names rather than 
wider criteria. finally it describes how to create a smart folder to 
automatically reflect the latest files available on your Mac and update 
the search as content is added.

No 
The playlist is just a text file which points the media player to the tracks 
you want to play.

By the way I have just tested this method and it worked perfectly so it will 
definitely  do what you want.

Re: [Mac-access]: Music

2014-11-15 Thread David Griffith

I have not actually done this completely but I believe the following will work 
in VLC.
This all assumes vLC has ben set as your default MP3 player. 
1. Go to the first tracks you want to add to your playlist in finder. Select 
each track and press command down arrow to open them.
2. VLC will open the first track and start playing it. Press space to pause the 
 playing. 
3. Keep VLC open and command tab back to finder to identify the next tracks you 
want to add to your playlist   Again select these tracks and press command 
downarrow to open them in VLC. 
 4Again press space to pause  playing You should now have a temporary playlist 
with all  the selected files you have added., both in step 1 and 3. Keep on 
command tabbing away from VLC to finder to find other files you want to add to 
your playlist. VLC will always start playing the latest files you add but the 
earlier elections should still be in the temporary playlist. They will stay 
there until VLC is  closed.. 
 5. Finally when you have added all the files you want to your playlist press 
command S to bring up the save menu and give a name for your playlist and 
choose a location for your playlists. I have a finder folder called playlists. 
VLC will remember the last folder you saved to so it convenient to create such 
a folder for quick saving of playlists.

2014-11-15 Thread David Griffith

Yes there are two ways.
1. The way I prefer is to open the folder in finder, press command A to select 
all  and then command down arrow.
If VLC is your default player it will open all the files as a temporary 
playlist and you can navigate through the files using command left and right 
arrow.. You can also save the open files as an actual playlist with command S.
2. the other method is to press command O within VLC and then select a folder 
to open rather than a single file.
Again VLC will open the whole folder of files in a temporary playlist.

Re: [Mac-access]: Music

2014-11-15 Thread David Griffith

The freeware VLC media player will play both mp3 and WMA   files and pretty 
much any other music or video format.

You can get a plug in  for iTunes to play WMA but personally I do not bother.

I use VLC as my default player from Finder and simply open iTunes if I want to 
play media from within that.

Google VLC Videodland and follow links for the Mac version.

3. Under your name you will find a number of folders documents, downloads, etc 
You need to go to Music
4. Under Music find iTunes.
5. Under iTunes you will find iTunes Media.

Re: [Mac-access]: Downloading Music from 2 iTune Stores

2014-11-12 Thread David Griffith


There may be a way around this but I do not know what it is.
I believe that you should perhaps be changing the Store you use using a 
single ID rather than having multiple IDs.

Apple does not like people having multiple Apple IDs.

Quote from their support pages below.

iOS device or computer, that device or  computer becomes associated with 
your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers 
(combined)  associated with it, with a maximum of 5 computers at any 
time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. 
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot 
associate that device or computer with another  Apple ID for 90 days. 
You can view which devices or computers are  currently associated with 
your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many 
days remain

purchased The Seekers Album.  There was no issue and I downloaded it 
on to my Mac Book Air.  On the Mac Book Pro last night I tried to

Anyone know anything about such an issue, both Accounts are genuine.

Re: [Mac-access]: Answering a call when playing a book

2014-11-12 Thread David Griffith

I also have a similar  problem. When I attempt to answer a call the 
Music Player instead starts up and it requires several repeated double 
finger tap attempts to answer the call. What then happens is that I am 
on the phone with music playing in the background.

Very annoying.

All,

I have seen the same problem when I was using an radio app and audible. The 
double finger tap answers the call but the radio doesn’t go to silent. You 
cannot hang up on the call and what the post was outlining you sometimes cannot 
answer a call.

When the phone rings, you should be able to answer with a two finger

[Mac-access]: Safari Podcasts Again.

2014-11-10 Thread David Griffith

I apologise if people have encountered problems with downloading the 
Safari Podcasts.  A couple of the links did not work for some reason.


I have  this afternoon tested all the links to Safari Podcasts and 
recreated the TWO which DID NOT work.  I have not checked any of the 
earlier Podcasts so let me know if there are problems there as well. 
These are gremlins which are somehow being created by Sendspace. I will 
have to look to using a proper Podcast service.

[Mac-access]: Safari Podcast 6

2014-11-09 Thread David Griffith

Someone has emailed me to report that Sendspace has weirdly renamed my  
Safari Podcast Part 6 on searching so that the file extension is mp36 
rather than mp3. I have deleted this version and re-uploaded the 
original file  which has the correct mp3 extension. Of course if you 
have downloaded a version with this incorrect extension you also have 
the option of renaming the original file extension from mp36 to mp3 
yourself.  The file will then play  fine. I downloaded  the file myself 
to test his and the actual file is not corrupted just renamed. Very odd.


Alternatively there is an updated link in the list below.

Re: [Mac-access]: Outlook Express E-mails on Mac

2014-11-04 Thread David Griffith

The rumours are that the complete rewrite of Office for the Mac will 
indeed provide and interface and content that is more accessible to 
Voiceover.
This is apparently because the rewrite is being done in more standard 
Apple Coco  programming language but I am no expert in this.
There is allegedly some evidence of this in as, I say, One Note and the 
new version of Outlook but apparently we have to wait until next year 
for the substantive rewrite of Office   in terms of applications like 
Word and Excel.


Still it will be a welcome development if it comes along. A fully 
featured and accessible version of Office on the Mac may well tip some 
more people into switching from Jaws etc to Voiceover on the Mac.

Re: [Mac-access]: Searching A Folder

I am planning a Podcast on using Spotlight to search for files in Finder 
but essentially option command space will bring up a Finder search.
There are other options and customisations for different types of search 
you can then do but I will go through these on the Podcast.


Alternatively there is a free utility

called Easy Find which also provides an easy access to a Mac search 
facility.

keep up with mee for example I have my voice over set to just words however 
when I press the space bar to start typing my next word it has around a tenth 
of a second delay before telling me the word I am typing. However this is not a 
bad thing as it gives me the chance to know if i’ve made any mistakes before 
going on to type the next word making it easier to correct things along the 
way. I am very impressed with the accessibility of iBooks now and have to say 
they’ve done good work on making that accessible. The only thing I don’t like 
about it is you can’t do your vo and a like you would to read a document for it 
to read the whole book. You’ve got to press the next page button when it’s 
finished reading the current page. I have not really explored any more of the 
features of the OS yet but will give more feedback as I do. So far though I am 
pretty impressed.

If I press the right command key and right option key plus F within Safari I

plus the right shift key plus the letter A for the applications window there
is just a clicking sound.  If I press the left command and left option keys

When I turn keyboard help on all the keys are spoken by VO, and I don't have

I do not know how to reboot.  Although I have a blue tooth keyboard, I don't

Do you have boot camp and tried  booting into Windows. ditto with Fusion
If the key problem persists under Windows or disappears with an external
keyboard it may be a hardware problem

Can anyone offer a solution?

Re: [Mac-access]: Right command and option keys not functioning?

2014-10-30 Thread David Griffith

A few investigative steps.
Have you rebooted
Have you an external keyboard to try and see if the problem   persists even 
with that
Have you tried turning on keyboard help to see if there is any response from 
these keys?
Do you have boot camp and tried  booting into Windows. ditto with Fusion
If the key problem persists under Windows or disappears with an external 
keyboard it may be a hardware problem

Re: [Mac-access]: Private Replies To eMail

Good work around.
Looking at traffic on another list it appears that Apple have removed the reply 
to Sender from list emails feature which is a little puzzling.

Re: [Mac-access]: No Clicks When Inputting Password

2014-10-28 Thread David Griffith

This appears to vary from web page to web page so I suspect it relates 
not so much to Voiceover settings but the coding on the web pages.

Re: [Mac-access]: Problem with iPhone 5S case

Hello,
My current iPhone 5S case is very nice but alas its magnetic clasp stops the 
iPhone compass from working. I use the compass a lot for navigation so this is 
a show stopper for me.

Can anyone recommend a protective iPhone 5S case which does not have a magnetic 
clasp. I have been looking at the Otterbox symmetry case which looks good but 
cannot determine whether it has a magnetic clasp or not. If any lister owns 
such a case can you please tell me whether it has a magnetic clasp?

Many thanks.
