Re: [Mac-access]: sorted out my voiceover startup issue.
No, you need to toggle on VO if you have FileVault enabled. I use it on my laptop for security purposes. Otherwise, as long as you have it set to automatically start in the login window, it should work on non-FileVault systems. Take Care John D.

Re: [Mac-access]: moving to top or bottom of document
It depends on what kind of list you are in. Be sure you are interacting first and try option-up or option-down arrow. Also, control-option-shift-home or end on a full sized keyboard. On a laptop, shift-FN-control-option-left or right arrow. In text, command-up and command-down arrow will take you to the top or bottom of the document. Take Care John D.

Re: Backing-Up To External Hard Drive
When you plug the external drive into your Mac, you should be prompted if you want to use it as a Time Machine backup. Remember that Time Machine erases all data from a partition, so if you have data on the drive, be aware of that fact. If Time Machine doesn't come up, go into System Preferences and choose, Time Machine. You will then select, Change Disk, and pick your external drive from the table. Once you do this, navigate to, Choose disk, and the process should begin shortly after that. Take Care John D.

Re: Backing-Up To External Hard Drive
Remember that Time Machine backs up your system on a schedule. If you are only going to plug in the drive 4 times a year, that's fine, but that's probably not wise. I'd do it a lot more than that and reserve a partition for back ups. I believe on my website in the, How To for Mac OS X, pages, have an explanation someone wrote in how to partition a drive. It's actually not that difficult, but you can contact me off list if you need a hand. Take Care John D.

Re: Tabbed windows in Finder

I would open computer with shift command C. 2. I would navigate to a drive and folder location and select a folder or files to copy. 3. I would open a second computer window command shift C to navigate to a location where I would paste the files or folder that I had copied. This could be, for example , copying RNIB Daisy Books onto an SD card. 4. I would then use command accent to cycle through Finder Windows to return to the Finder Window I had copied from to identify and then copy further files to paste onto the SD Card or other media. I would then use command accent to again cycle through windows to return to the media I am copying the files or folder to. Since installing Mavericks Finder no longer appears to allow me to keep Windows open once you navigate away from them. This means that when I use command accent to cycle through open windows I have only the options of the current window and desktop as destinations. This currently makes locating and then copying files like Daisy Books onto media like SD cards unnecessarily time consuming. I am currently having to open a fresh computer window and identify the SD card for each time I want to copy a folder to it. Similarly every time I want to go to my Daisy Books folder I again have to start from scratch. I have set up an alias for the Daisy Book folder to reduce the inconvenience but I believe that I must be using the wrong technique for Mavericks. I suspect that this all relates to the new Tab feature in Finder but so far experimenting with this I cannot find a process which is as efficient as the one I used to use . Is there anybody using tabbed windows under Mavericks Finder who can advise me of a better way of doing what I want to do?

Re: Help with calendar
Calendar isn't difficult to wrap ones brain around. It's a matter of understanding the interface and locating the calendar grid. You must interact with the grid to then navigate through the days of the month or week. You can have a year, month of week view and this impacts what you find when you interact with the grid. Specifically, what do you want to know. I'd be happy to answer any questions, as I use the calendar every day. Take Care John D.

Or is iBooks on Maverick not yet fully accessible? First I have just opened a newly purchased iBook on Maverick and find that the scroll area contains 4 html files each corresponding to different parts of the book. I do not understand what is going on here. Opening a different book only has 3 html files in the scroll area. Second if I press command+t to open the table of contents I see a new window containing a table (I know it is a new window because I see it in the list of windows displayed by VO+F2). Unfortunately if I interact with that table the table goes away and the window containing that table closes. the same thing happens if I look at bookmarks. I mostly want to access the table of contents and use that to go to a desired section of the book. I also want to stop reading the book now and later return to where I left off. Is this possible on Maverick? Fortunately iBooks works much better on my iPhone 3GS under IOS 6. Should I expect iBooks to work OK with VoiceOver on Maverick? If so what am I doing wrong?

I know others have struggled with this on this list. I am trying to sort by Artist then album and play the Track of that album. I can manage this fine on My iPhone but on a Computer whether Mac or PC this is much harder to accomplish. As far as I can tell without sight, iTunes has a player console which is completely separate from the file list. If the keyboard focus is on this player console then pressing space on the play button will play and pause the track fine. However shifting focus away from the console to changing the music played from the file list is extremely problematic. Moving to the file list and pressing space on a new selected track will simply resume the playing of the previous track I was playing and not the new selected track. Pressing enter will also not achieve the desired result. An option is that sometimes you can change tracks by hitting the context menu and then finding play. This is a bit of a palaver though. However, just as often the play option is not available and you instead get options like create mp3 version, or view in Finder etc. So my question is how can you change the track being played in iTunes without tearing your hair out. Please do not simply suggest just press enter on the track as is sometimes suggested as this simply does not work, as others have confirmed. If pressing enter works on some setups then there must be some other setting which needs changing so that my iTunes replicates this behaviour.

Re: Apple's response to my enquiry about flash accessibility
I don’t know what you consider accessibility with Flash, but it is actually Adobe’s problem. They were gong to try to make Flash much more accessible at one point, but I think they abandoned that option. At this point, as the move to HTML5 is continuing, I doubt you are going to see anything happen with Flash accessibility. As far as I know, no screen reader handles flash well at all. Sometimes, if the developer is using the later versions of Flash with Text tags, you might find some success, but with JFW, Window-Eyes, System Access and VoiceOver, I have found Flash to be nothing less than a waste of time.

Unfortunately there is an issue with the Flash component that makes it inaccessible to screen readers. Apple has reported this issue to Adobe over the years and in March of 2011 they announced plans to fix it, you can see their blog post in the link below: http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2010/03/flash_player_and_flex_support.html Unfortunately, Adobe has not made the appropriate changes to Flash that make it screen reader compatible. We would encourage the you to contact Adobe and request that they implement the changes that will make Flash content accessible.

Re: State of Apple Accessibility (was: Re: Logic Pro X accessibility: the view from Cupertino)
Hopefully, this did not make the list the first time, as I might have sent it has a draft this morning before it was complete. Hi Chris, Arrogance? Where do you get that from? Maybe, it came across that way in the vehicle as text, but anyone who knows me knows I am the farthest thing from arrogant. So, if it seemed that way to you or Mary, that was not my intent and I apologize. I made some general suggestions that have served me over the years from having been on so many lists. The thing about lists is though some people subscribe to multiple lists, many are on only one. Thus, information they might offer is only seen on that list. For example, I know the area of web design and VoiceOver compatibility was discussed on another list and someone made a suggestion for an app and information on how to use it with VoiceOver. Heck if I can recall who it was, what list and the application. You also might want to you reread the tone and manner in which you have posted as well, Chris. Some of your own comments, whether intended or not, came off as rather arrogant and definitive. We often forget that our own personal experiences do not necessarily reflect those of the majority, and what we perceive as problems or shortcomings for an app or an operating system may not be by others. You and Donald, for instance, seem to have a more specialized situation than most folks and, thus, what you need and require is different than what others do. My suggestions to search other archives was not out of arrogance, but, instead, experience. As I said, a lot of the complaints I have read in this thread have been addressed in a number of work arounds and helpful suggestions. No, not all, and it doesn’t solve the overall issue head on, but as I said, just like with Windows, if there is a will, there is a way. I never inferred you or anyone else hadn't tried to do so. I was pointing out that this list is something that we all should go beyond if we can't get the answers or information from our membership, as there could be other places where it can be found. I'd say the same thing on other lists, including the one I run. . As for my own Windows experience, to address Chris's assumptions, I use Windows every day as well. I have to. I do training on that too for a specific contract, and, well, to be honest, I like to keep on top of that just for the times someone tries to imply or outright accuse me of not knowing anything about Windows to speak with any knowledge. I have a Windows 7 laptop and I still have my Win 7 desktop computers. They are kept up to date with the latest screen reader updates and Windows updates. I do, thus, know Exactly what I am talking about on that front. It also makes me very glad that I can go back to my Macs when I am done working in that operating system. It's a nice place to visit, but not a place I want to nor need to live any more. As for my training, Chris, you can ask my clients what we cover and the extent of what I do. You’d be surprised just how diverse and far I have had to go to help people and prepare myself for training situations. As a trainer, I’ve probably learned more about the Mac and Windows in the last 3 years than many users will need to know in their lives. This is not spoken out of arrogance either, but because of the reality that I Have to do so. I do not speak only from personal observations about the Mac, but from the comments and testimonials from clients. Reread my previous messages on that subject. Just as the Mac may not be the system to solve someone's work needs, I just had a situation in which Windows could not flit the tab either. It's a unique situation in that specific types of applications are being used, so the client is going to have to use both operating systems to accomplish things. Take Care John D.

I think that is one. To be honest, I don't have the time right now to start searching archives and list serves, but I know there were solutions offered to web design Chris is not taking into account. The only really strong point that has been made is in regard to text tables. Otherwise, as I said, there are solutions out there. Search the archives here or if you are on other lists. Those are the kinds of questions that come up all of the time, and there is always someone who offers an app that no one knows about or does not get attention that the other common ones have. I know someone, for example, found an app pretty comparable to MS Word access with VoiceOver or, at least, found something pretty close to what some high end users needed.

Re: State of Apple Accessibility (was: Re: Logic Pro X accessibility: the view from Cupertino)
Hi Mary, Here is the problem. Firstly, having been on email lists for years, these types of discussions come up, people make suggestions and find solutions, and the subject is lost. Being that I am on so many lists, I have no idea who said what and where. My point is, a lot of what people report or even complain about is either subjective or they may not be aware of solutions that others have found. For example, with PDFs. I don’t have the problems you seem to have and I know of two clients who extensively have to access PDF documents for their work. They use Skim to do so. I am fine with Preview. No, Preview will not deal with an image PDF. You need to OCR that first as there is no text VoiceOver can read. As for word processors and such, again, I have seen at least a half dozen, if not more suggestions offered by people on lists and step by step instructions how to deal with a variety of issues people find themselves facing. Unfortunately, when you go through 500 emails a day on average, it doesn’t always stick with me. Sometimes, I manage to jot down notes or grab a message for future reference, but of late, that has become more and more difficult for me, as I just don’t have time. I know the problem of MS word formatting and compatibility , accessing tables and a variety of other matters have been addressed here and in other places. My overall point is instead of tossing out general statements about ones perceived notions of what can or can’t be done, do a little foot work and research on this list’s archives and the other lists out there. I am far from the be all and end all to knowing every accessible application or work around for a situation, and I spend a lot of time having to find information for others. It’s out there. You just have to be willing to look. Considering that the vast majority of us have come from Windows, we should be used to having to sometimes think outside the box for solutions. Accessibility is far from perfect on the Mac and I also said initially that I can list my gripes just like anyone else, but I don’t find it necessary to present those gripes in broad strokes nor make dramatic statements about Apple’s accessibility efforts when I have benefited from those efforts over the last 9 years and no how far VoiceOver has come compared to my old iBook running Tiger or my original Mac Book running Snow Leopard. As I initially said, for every problem one can toss out in regard to the Mac and VoiceOver, someone else can probably toss out three times as many with JAWS, Windows Eys, NVDA or any Windows screen reader. No solution is perfect, but I have found, in my own personal experience, and in training clients on the Mac for 3 years, that switchers find their Mac experience so much better than Windows and I have yet to encounter a client who has told me they can’t do something on the Mac that they can do on Windows with the exception of a few minor specialty apps and games. Then again, I have had more clients tell me that they have been able to find more solutions on the Mac for things they couldn’t do in Windows. However, this discussion, I think, is running its course, and I personally have spent too much time addressing it at this point. My apologies to Gordon and Lynne for the diversion. Take Care John D.

And the fact that I can't read tables in pdf documents is a serious drawback. I know there are work arounds involving the use of Pages with tables and numbers, but again, cutting and pasting back and forth just to do something that ought to be done within a single app is not the same level of usability as you get with a good Windows screen reader.

You can't compare using iWork with voiceover and using JAWS or NVDA on Windows with Microsoft Office. Nothing even comes close to it on the Mac in terms of accessibility. VO can't even read what is exactly on the screen half the time, it makes too many assumptions. To be productive I want to be able to use Dreamweaver, a decent word processor including tables, and use complex spreadsheets, access share point, use web development tools, edit MIDI data, read PDF documents that also include their elements such as headings, tables and enter data within form fields of a PDF. The Mac with voiceover struggles with all of these tasks. So in my opinions it is not very productive in the world of business. Voiceover can't even read tables or headings in documents. However, I still use my Mac on a daily basis as I do like the email client, and using the rotor in Safari, despite some web pages causing VO to crash and not being able to handle some pages correctly. I guess we'll see how committed Apple are to accessibility on the Mac when the next release of iWork comes out eh? Very disappointed accessibility had not been improved within Logic X, and I really hope VO support is enhanced in both Pages and Numbers. I would like to see the various bugs I have submitted be plugged also. Apple are quick to fix bugs which do not relate to accessibility, and it seems the only time VO gets an update or has a bug fixed is with each major OS update, which is very frustrating. Apple have done very little to improve accessibility for low vision users too. This is why AI Squared have had to release ZoomText for Mac, as Apple's built in offerings are so poor. An accessible Office suite from Microsoft and accessible products from Adobe such as Reader and Flash would be welcome (Flash not as important these days though). In the meantime, we can hardly point the finger at Microsoft and Adobe if Apple can't even make all their software accessible. Those are the facts, and I have been a Mac user since 2000, but I admit only as a blind user since 2010. I have not tested Maverick, so I might b very surprised and learn that it is truly wonderful.

As for me and numbers, I am not sure what my issue is as the final straw with using it was the constant VO crashing when using it. I am not sure if crashing is the appropriate term, what would happen is I would be working with a numbers document and VO would just completely stop working. I couldn't enter any text in to a cell. VO would stop reading and I would try and type anyway, thinking that maybe it was just a VO issue and text was being entered into a cell, but after quitting numbers and restarting I would go back to the cell and none of the text I had just entered was there. This started to occur more and more frequently, and when you are working with a cell that is at the midway point of a document it would take forever to get back there only to enter text in the cell move to the next cell and have the same thing occur all over again. I tried the various work arounds suggested to me, but had no luck with the find commands, and did find it a little ridiculous that I would have to go through about seven steps to do a certain find/search criteria including a VO F3 to toggle stuff off. I decided I was losing so much time spending on these issues that I just switched over to a database program. Now does that mean I don't know how to use a mac? No. Was it unbelievably frustrating and did I view it as way to time consuming? Yes. Did I think that Apple should come up with a better way and should have done so by now, yes. Does it mean if numbers is improved that I will go back to it? Yes. I don't see anything wrong with questioning apple at all. I'm not one of these people that thinks I need to bow down to Apple for everything they do, not everything they do is everyone going to agree with. They are a company in business to make money.

However, there is a difference between personal opinion and making blanket statements that you feel reflect what everyone should think. If you think Mac accessibility is half baked, well, as I said, that is your opinion and you have a right to that. Fortunately, the vast number of blind Mac users surely don't see it that way, and I have yet to encounter a client who has come to that conclusion in 3 years of doing Mac training. As I told someone off list, and at the risk of being accused of flaming anyone, from several years on lists and particularly being subscribed to about five blind Mac or iOS user lists, when someone makes a statement generalized to detract from the use of the Mac as a tool equal in value to Windows, there are one of three reasons or positions at work: 1. The user really has not learned the Mac well enough to be qualified to make any blanket statements. I can't tell you how many people I have met who have had limited use or understanding of the Mac, but find it necessary to tell people that the Mac isn't on the same accessibility grounds as Windows. It's like taking a car for a fifteen minute test drive and then bashing the car on every category as if you have owned it for five years. Does anyone remember the first AFB review on VoiceOver in 2005? 2. The user has used the Mac, but still is at the point in which they don't know enough about the Mac to truly speak with any expertise. In other words, as the expression goes, they know enough to be dangerous. I often see this in the world of Windows with JAWS or Window-Eyes users who want to criticize the other camp. You may know how to do a lot of things, but your experience and knowledge is still lacking and you don't know enough about what else can be done because you haven't taken the time to thoroughly find out. 3. There is another political or personal a gender at work. In other words, the Mac could demonstrate utter perfection when it comes to accessibility, and the user will still find fault with it or seek to disparage it because they have a vested interest in such criticisms

Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure
There are various Apple Support Knowledge base articles that address this matter. The thing is, it really comes down to understanding the startup process and then determining where the problem is occurring. For example, there is a system initiation session, which includes Firmware, Booter, Kernel and System LaunchD processes, and the User Session, which includes the Login Window, User LaunchD and User Environment stages. There are specific steps to take to determine where the problem is actually occurring in startup, but I don't know if there is a master article that addresses them all. Also, some diagnosis methods are not accessible to the blind, since VoiceOver, for example, is not available during Safe Boot or when using a startup in Verbose Mode. Take Care John D.

Re: extending a wifi network using airport extreme or express.

Re: Airport extreme and 5GHZ channels.
Hi donald, Well, assuming you are using the latest version of the Airport Utility, you need to chose the, Wireless tab, once you have chosen to, Edit Base Station. There are Wireless options that you can access by choosing that button and you should be able to set your preferences, including the 5 GHZ channel you want to specify. Now, understand that I don't know the restrictions each country places on this area, as I only know that each country does have channels they allow or don't allow for wireless use. Take Care John D.

Basically, everything is suspended and only the most basic hardware is kept running, like power to USB or Firewire ports. Take Care John D.

I never had any luck trying to use Fusion to run an earlier version of the Mac OS, though, like with you, it could very well be something I have been doing wrong.

Re: magic trackpad buggy
Interesting. I'd highly recommend it. I use it every day with my Mac Mini and I know,at least, eight people that immediately come to mind who are also using it without any problems. It's simply an awesome little device. I can't account to the problems you are having, but please don't generalize your issues into an everyone should stay away from it matter. Are you sure you are connecting it properly through Bluetooth settings? Take Care John D.

Re: to add
No, at this point, what I'd suggest you do is go into System Preferences and navigate to Bluetooth. Then, find the table of devices and remove anything referencing the Magic Trackpad. Reboot the Mac and when it's up and running, press the button on the right side of the Magic Trackpad for just a second. You should get a pairing request on the Mac and just select the pair button. If this is not working. 1. Are you sure the batteries are in right? 2. What kind of potential interference might you have in the area that might cause issues with radio devices. 3. If you can, try to pair the Trackpad with another Mac. 4. If all that fails, take the trackpad and your Mac to the Apple store. If you can't take the Mac, jsut take the trackpad and explain the steps you have taken to troubleshoot the problem and that you want to determine if the device is defective. Take Care John D.

Re: using the Mini without a monitor
Besides System Preferences not sticking, other issues reported have ranged from the Finder becoming bogged down, especially if you try to access an external drive or network share. Also, Safari will be quite slow and exhibit busy signals quite often and VoiceOver will sometimes not start when the system boots, even if it has been left on at shutdown. Take Care John D.

Re: function keys as software keys
If you are using the Mini without a monitor, this is one of the unfortunate side effects. I had the same issue with mine with system preference changes not sticking. Take Care John D.
