Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion
I have been reading all of the posts here and tried on different occasions to respond. For other tech reasons that I don’t think is necessary for this thread, I’ll put my 2 sense in about BootCamp and what I needed to do to install it myself. Before I start, I want to suggest to listen to a podcast on CoolBlindTech regarding Wininstaller. It’s a software program that will provide one with a talking installer for Windows. I did not go that route, since I am still not fully confident in advance skills on the Mac side. I used the following apps to install Win 8.0 with no (sort of) sighted assistance. They include KNFB Reader, BeMyEyes, the Applevis guidelines, and Facetime. Here is what I found that helped me. 1. The Applevis guidelines was sort of helpful. The dialog pages when installing Win 8.0 didn’t pair up with the information written in the guidelines. Hence, you need to be careful on which keystroke you used and where. That said, the keystrokes when matched to the correct dialog page were very helpful. 2. When using the KNFB Reader, I first increased the brightness of the Mac’s screen to 100%. This gave me very accurate results in the image scan with KNFB. It also allowed me to locate the precise section in the Applevis guideline text for the correct keystrokes to use. 3. I used BeMyEyes to confirm the 04 bootcamp drive. Since this is a critical point in the installation, I didn’t want to reformat the wrong disk. I also had the individual assist me in the confirmation of the advance button in disk options and the format button at this point. I did that because I had the sighted person on the other end. 4. However, I had some difficulties in accessing the next button. It was located in the lower right hand corner and the only method to access it was with the trackpad. 5. I contacted an AT sighted buddy of mine through Facetime and with his guidance in which direction to move my finger on the mouse, I was able to select the next button and left click on it. It was a challenge, but very rewarding knowing that I was able to install Win 8.0 on my own. My AT friend learn something that he may be able to use in the future to assist someone else that wants to install Windows into BootCamp, but does not have sighted assistance available. Sorry for this long reply, but I thought others would like to know my creative resolution to a task that is really not accessible to the visually impaired to complete without sighted assistance. HTH.

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. David Griffith On 27/04/2015 06:55, Brian Hartgen wrote: Hi I received my first Mac on Saturday.

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.

RE: Blind Square points of interest
Hello, I could be mistaken, but doesn't the accuracy on how close you get to a POI depend upon the GPS satellitesone has? There's a button right above the home button in Blind Square that will give you GPS accuracy within Blind Square. If you double tap this button, the info changes to speed and double tap it again you can get cardinal direction. The double tapping of this button will cycle back to the gPS accuracy. The closest I have ever been with Blind Square and my GPS satellites has been 16 feet.

RE: Bootcamp

RE: Bootcamp
Hi, I am 99% sure that the bootcamp partition is located in the 4th position. However, once you begin the installation of Windows, you will have no speech, hence needing sighted assistance. At one point, I did read the article posted up on Applevis to install Windows without sight, but my steps and the amount of tabs didn't match up, as reported by my assistant helping me to install Windows. Also, I'm not sure which OSX you are using, but I am running Mountain Lion. And began with Win 8.0 original single licensed disk and bootcamp for one reason or another didn't like it. I needed to create an ISO on the desktop and run bootcamp from the ISO disk instead of the disk. I did keep the disk in the external DVD player and that's where Win 8.0 was installed from. It was the oddest thing, but it worked. Just giving you my recent experience with it all. HTH and good luck.

Re: Server Transition: IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ!
Sorry for confusing your name with someone else's. Please accept my apology. Eileen On Jun 22, 2014, at 5:30 AM, Gordon, Lynne Tracy supp...@mac-access.net wrote: Hello everybody As some of you may be aware, we have been planning for some time to migrate the Mac Access server to a new physical server system and also to a new DNS host. This involves a very great deal of work on our part and I’d like to tell you a little bit about why that is the case. For some time now, we have been experiencing a problem with the server administration tools we used to use to help us administrate both the member listing for all of our groups, and also other vital server configurational data. The net result of these problems is that the member listing is not visible to us at all, neither is any of the other server data, or the list data itself. Therefore, the only access we have to the list configuration is that which every user has to their own specific configuration. Without going into too much technical detail, Gordon keeps having to manually rebuild the Open Directory database because there’s a problem somewhere in the system and it keeps causing corruption. The GUI-based administration tools are useless so Gordon needs to use the Terminal and command line tools to keep this airplane flying! Indeed, Apple’s own engineering staff have been unable to determine the cause of the problem and their ultimate advice was to simply trash the server instance totally and rebuild it from the ground up with a new OS install. That is fine in principle, but we are keen to retain as much information as possible in order to minimise inconvenience to our clients and group members. Please know that even those of you who are not our direct clients are important to us. Although our first duty is to those for whom we host services, we regard all of our members as part of what we do. Anyway I am babbling. e h This means that, in order to obtain the address of each user, along with any specific configuration settings they may have set, we have to effectivelyΩzsw log in as though we were that user via the web interface at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/your-address@your-host.whatever/. Aside from this, we’re going to have to manually replicate all of the generic list data on the new server for every single one of the groups hosted here. This, believe me, is no easy task; as some of the groups used by our commercial clients use very highly configured virtual hosts. One of our most valued non-commercial clients has multilingual options configured which we are also very keen to replicate. We shall be in touch with that client directly shortly to discuss the way forward for them. Gordon has spent most of this weekend working behind the scenes in the room from which we run all of our servers; (I’ve almost forgotten what he looks like! ;-)); on the new system, and even as I write he estimates that several more days will elapse before we’re ready to even test the new system locally, let alone expose it to the Internet. Why am I telling you all this? It’s really quite simple. We require, and would very much appreciate, your assistance. It would make our lives far easier if you as list members would take a moment to drop us a line privately, using the support address supp...@mac-access.net to let us know whether or not you anticipate or intend to remain a member of this group in the medium to long term, or even whether you wish us to add you to the new system at all. As well as this, we would be grateful if you would please let us have details of any specific settings you have configured on our server. For instance, if you are using digest mode to receive messages in bulk, whether you have a system password configured which overrides the default, etc.. Of course, when the new instance goes live, you will be able to modify your own configuration once you’ve been subscribed. We are simply trying to save you the work and minimise your inconvenience. :) We have not far short of 500 members in this group alone now, and it would be a horrendously laborious task for Gordon to use the web interface to inspect every single user’s individual configuration; especially since the majority of users have never changed any settings. You may say “why not just use the defaults then?” That in theory may save time. But we are anxious to have the transition be as seamless as possible for everybody and, therefore, we’d like to have this data available in a database which I shall be compiling for Gordon as and when we receive each member’s response. We plan to maintain this database in the longer term, so that we do have a permanent record of who is currently a member of our groups, and any specific configuration they may be using. Sadly, as I’ve already indicated, it simply is not practical to

Hi, I tried to post earlier, but I was reading your email in my personal email account.

Re: Boot Camp
Hello Gordon, I won't discuss the installation of Windows here, but I just went through the tedious process about 1-1/2 months ago. The question I have is if you have a DVD disk of the Win operating system or need to make an ISO image. That will make the difference on which check boxes need to be checked in BootCamp. Also, if you need to use an ISO image, that needs to be downloaded to the Mac and placed on the desktop. The only point in the installation that I received a blank small window (only seen by sighted people) was at the beginning of the Windows installation. I only know this because my husband assisted me in this process. HTH.

Re: WWDC From Monday, 2 June 2014
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the clarification. You are correct that I should have used PDT for Pacific Daylight Time. I think those of us who live in the states would have just known that we have sprung ahead one hour. Sorry.

Re: Skype on the Mac
Okay!!! I did understand that the keystroke you posted was for hanging up calls. It seemed like you were a more experienced user of Skype on the Mac that you could share a listing of keystrokes (if there was one) to those who are newbies in using Skyfe on the Mac. I didn't think my last post on this thread was asking anything out of line. So, I pose this question again, Do you know or have a listing of the hot key shortcuts that one can use with Skype on the Mac? If one exists, where can one find it? It would be nice not to reinghent the wheel if one exists. Thanks.

Re: OCR Apps
Hi Isaac, May be you can give a concise instructions on how to get the OCR read out after scanning the image? I am able to scan the image, but not get any results. What brand scanner are you using and what are the settings you are using in Prizmo 2 on the Mac? When I try to OCR the doc, I check the OcR checkbox, but a table opens. I make sure that English is selected or highlighted. This will bring me back to the dialog box. When I try to translate it or OCR it, I always get an error message that Prizmo couldn't read it and to adjust my settings. If you can list what you do or tell me what I am not doing, that would be terrific. I really would like to use this app on my Mac, but I put it on the back burner and go back either to my iPhone or PC. Any advise would be great. Thanks in advance.

Re: Mac App Deal: MacGourmet Deluxe has dropped in price:
Hi Esther, When going through all these posts, I am just getting to this one. My question to you before I seriously think about purchasing Mac Gourmet is if I purchase it through the Mac Ap store will there be an update from version 3 to version 4? Maybe I wasn't making the connection in the more recent posts about going to the web site and getting a license from there to update. Can you elaborate on this if it can be done in order to purchase Mac Gourmet at the 9.99 price? You know that I have had much difficulties importing my text files into Paprika and still have not accomplished this with all of your detail explanations. I needed to put it aside because I was getting somewhat frustrated and spending too much valuable time that I needed to dedicate to my work. I have mastered all sorts of things with the Mac Air since I have purchased it, but this is one that my brain seems not to embrace. Thanks in advance for your opinions about the above.

(I didn't realize this at the time I posted -- just saw this now). This seems less than honest to me. Version 4 is the new version that is finally supposed to support cloud syncing with iOS. Their iOS app will only work with version 4. Cheers, Esther On Jan 13, 2014, at 12:14 AM, Donal Fitzpatrick donal.fitzpatr...@icloud.com wrote: I love paprika.

You know that I have already apologized to you in my last post and I don't think your opening comment was necessary or that I deserved it. We all make a mistake once in a while, so I guess you think you are perfect and don't make any mistakes. If Gordon wants to place me on monitor status for this post, so be it. Like you, we have both been trying to get Gordon's Apex to pair with his devices. Unlike you, I have been trying to come up with constructive out-of-the-box solutions. We are all aware that there is some conflict or corruption with one of the device's software that is not allowing this to happen.

Re: Suggestions for scanning printed books with an iPhone
Hi Esther, I am just wondering if my email ever reach this thread. I had stated expressed the same that is in your and Ann's email, but both of you were more thorough than I. As a user of Prizmo and Text Grabber with my iPhone, with the StandScan Pro, the accuracy is much better than using my OCR apps dedicated to the blind on my PC. thanks for your post and the confirmation of how one can use OCR apps on the phone and have a real portable solution.

It uses the ABBYY engine for OCR, so it does a reasonable job, but TextGrabber, which is ABBYY's own app, is better. It's possible there are low vision enhancements to ZoomReader that make it worth the $19.99 list price, but frankly TextGrabber is better irrespective of price. For one thing, if you import an image from the camera roll, ZoomReader won't correctly OCR if the image is upside down or rotated by 90 degrees, although it will recognize the rotated images if you use the camera directly. Another tip, if you take a lot of images that you want to transfer back to your computer, you can export to a downloading app as an intermediary to Dropbox and get more content transferred than if you simply export to Dropbox directly.

Renaming Group Name Edit Field in contacts
Hello Folks, Okay!!! I did a stupid thing by not clearing the group name edit field before beginning to enter the member data for a group I created last night, with a unique name. I opened the menus and thought I saw a rename submenu item in the edit section. However, it must have been dimmed because it was not listed when I accessed the edit menu. How do I rename a group in the native contact app on the Mac Air? I know I am missing a step. thanks in advance for your assistance.

Creating a Distribution List in the Native Mail App With Mountain Lion
Hello All, I am now moving on to bigger things in the native mail app on my Mac Air. I need to create a distribution list (as it is called in Outlook), but I didn't see any option in the menus that would give me a hint that I should open the submenu item. Is this something that is completed in the contact app on the Air? I am trying to think simple with this, but I am having a hard time in getting this done. Any suggestions and/or detail instructions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ABBYY FineReader-Advice on Purchasing From The Website or App Store
Hello folks, Is there any advantage of purchasing ABBYY FineReader from the website over the app store? I'm just curious about this, since one can procure the app either way. Also, has anyone tried plugging the Pearl camera into the Mac computer to see if it is recognized? I guess I could experiment with it. Currently, the only scanner that the Mac Air recognizes is my Brother MFC all-in-one. I haven't had much luck with it and Prizmo 2. Thanks.

Update On Installing The Plustek 3600 On The Mac
Hello Folks, I contacted the US office here in California regarding installing the Plustek 3600 on the Mac OS operating system. What I learned was that the model 3800 replaced the 3600 and that the 3600 wouldn't be supported any further than 10.7, which is a beta. The tech support individual will send an email to the corporate office in Taipei to see if they would be so kind to create another beta version for 10.8. I indicated that there are other visually impaired individuals who are using this scanner and would prefer to install it on their Mac computers. He indicated that the response time from the corporate office is about 2-3 days. When I receive an email from tech support, I will post again. It wasn't the answer I wanted to hear, but at least this guy was willing to try. I also inquired if the drivers for the 3800 would run the 3600, but the firmware is different and is on the motherboard of the 3800.

Re: scanner not detected
Hi Mark, I am using a MBA and have installed the Plustech 3600 scanner on it. you will need to download the driver from www.plustech.com. The way that I was able to find it was to Google it. I believe I use the search string of Plustech 3600 drivers for Mac. If memory serves me, the only OS file was for an earlier version for the operating system, but I managed to get it installed. I just downloaded Prizmo and will be testing it within the next couple of days. If you can't find the driver for the Plustech 3600, email me off list and I will send it to you. HTH.

RE: battery status
Hi, When I first got my MBA about 2 1/2 months ago, I had the same question. Over the weekend, I finally got my first alert when the MBA went down to 5%. So, you stated that you were plugging in at 7%, which would not trip the alert. I have no idea if this alert can be changed like increasing it to 10%. I was wondering if other more seasoned Mac users can chime in on how to configure the battery alert percentage to be increased or to have a shortcut on the desktop to access this info instead of opening the status menu. Thanks.

Quick Time Player ?s
Hello List, I wasn't aware that this existed on my Air until reading this thread. I am experimenting around with the settings, but I need some guidance. I first opened the recording options and selected the microphone volume, but after making a short recording, the playback is quite low even on maximum. What do I need to do to increase the playback volume? I am relatively new to recording with the Air, as well as a 2.5 month old newbie with this Mac.

Re: Quick Time Player ?s
Hi Andy, thanks for the explanation of where the built-in mic is found. Since, I have basically used a PC, I assumed that the microphone was where you described. I have a pair of headsets that has a mic to it. I will give this a try in a little bit. Would this arrangement of the mic with the headset work to record lectures of considerable length or would a dedicated external mic be more appropriate for these types of tasks? Thanks for getting back to me quickly. Best, Eileen On Nov 14, 2013, at 8:25 AM, Andy Collins a...@recreation.plus.com wrote: Hi Eileen - Are you using the built in mic? It might be that you are too far from it. It's not mounted on the top of the screen, as on some laptops, but is on the left hand side, just below where the headphones plug in, so you might like to bend your head over that way smile the better way in my opinion, is use a pair of compatible headphones that have a built in mic, the mic will be closer to your mouth, and you can sit upright smile - Andy On 14 Nov 2013, at 16:02, Eileen Misrahi eileen.misr...@gmail.com wrote: Hello List, I wasn't aware that this existed on my Air until reading this thread.

Number of Events Not Displayed in Calendar On ML
Hello List, I entered 2 different appointments on my iPhone4. In my iCloud settings on the phone, I have calendar checked to be synced to other devices. When I open my Mac Air and go to the calendar, I don't have a number indicating the amount of events for a specific date. Is this a behavior that I should see in Mountain Lion in the calendar app like in iOS 6.1.2? When I enter on the date that has an appointment, it is listed there. Can you also get a list of appointments in ML like on the Phone? Please advise and let me know if there is a setting in the calendar preferences that needs to be checked or unchecked in ML.

Adding Items to the Rotor On the Trackpad
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to add items to the rotor on the trackpad. I don't see a rotor option for edit fields and I know when Safari opens that there is one. Of course, the VO cursor lands on it, but if one is filling out a form or an order form to shop, it would be nice to be able to jump from field to field. Any suggestions on where to find it and how to add this option would be appreciated Thanks in advance.

RE: 8 Dot Braille With Apex and the Air
Hello All, Thanks for all of the responses. I have completed the changes and have tested the BrailleNote apex out with the MBA. Now, the trick is to learn some of the commands that are unique to the MBA. I have gone to Humanware's support page and read the command list for the Macs. There was one that didn't make sense and that was to pan to the right, which used the same command for panning to the left. I need to dedicate more time in using the Apex with the computer, which may not be until the weekend. Thanks again for the assistance.
