Re: [Mac-Access]: gmail

[Jude DaShiell]

Here's why you get those messages from google.  The package that's 
accessing gmail hasn't got the most modern security features in it.  To 
fix this, you'll need to go into account settings and check the box that 
says allow less secure software to access your gmail account. 
Supposedly easier for hackers to get in once you do this, but even the 
most modern security features were no protection for the Federal 
employees and retirees that had their accounts hacked over at OPM.

Subject: [Mac-Access]: gmail

Hi there.
I am wondering if anyone can help with gmail.
I can access it on the web, and have set it up for my computer to download the 
email.
Sometimes it does, other times I get a message from gmail saying they blocked 
an attempt to access my mail and I know it was my computer trying to download. 
I even checked that it would do it from my computer, but I am still getting 
error messages sometimes.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Lovette

Re: [Mac-access]: App Development Question

[Jude DaShiell]

The only fix Apple need make in the xcode package I wrote them about 
earlier and it would be helpful if it were a general fix to their 
operating systems going forward is that there is no keyboard shortcut for 
drag and drop.  One would be able to move objects into the selected area 
so they'd be included in an app that was being developed so far as I know 
the rest of it works.  For those that aren't afraid of the command line 
though interfacebuilder in xcode may be the way to go since that's command 
line operated unless someone has found flaws in that platform as well.

As far as developing apps goes, Apple's Xtools just aren't there.  It's gotten 
better as versions of Xcode has gone up, but last time I checked, (and that was 
a few releases back) it still wasn't possible to build an app from scratch 
using apple's tools if you wanted to have a gui with the app.  Now, with that 
said, I have written apps for osx, and even modified existing apps to make them 
work better, the only issue was, I needed sighted assistance for parts of the 
process.  Others have successfully used tools like renasance and produced quite 
usable programs.  Java also works well (or used to, I've not written anything 
in java for a couple years, so this may have changed).  Of course, if you write 
your application in php/html/javascript, and host it on a web server, then it 
will work for osx and ios with no trouble, assuming you build it properly.  Of 
course, the downside of that is you can't use the app in offline mode, but it 
doesn't sound like you want offline access an

ow, so that may work for you.
I know there are others who develop on osx and ios, and perhaps they have more 
recent experiences they can relate, but I kind of let my osx/ios development 
slide after getting so frustrated with the not quite accessible tools, and the 
lack of a machine that could run the latest osx release, so perhaps I'm not the 
best person to be answering this query, since I've mainly stuck to 
linux/terminal apps for the last little while.
Hopefully, someone else will pipe up with better information for you.  If I 
ever get a new enough machine to use osx 10.9, I will likely renew my apple 
developer access, and begin looking into all this stuff again, but that isn't 
likely to happen in the near future.
Hope this helps anyway.

Re: [Mac-access]: Iphone 5 or 4S

[Jude DaShiell]

You presume wrong so far as bluetooth keyboards are concerned.  You can 
use VoiceOver or a bluetooth keyboard but not both at the same time and 
usually when you open an edit field the bluetooth keyboard pairing wins.

The 4s will be at end of life when ios10 comes out.
The whole 5 series is no better than the 4s you have unless the 5 series 
phone you get has more memory in it than your 4s.  Battery life is no good 
until you get a 6+ and that is the case since the 6+ battery is larger.

Re: [Mac-access]: Compatible Mac Keyboards

[Jude DaShiell]

Back when Tiger was hot, Apple sold a plastic keyboard full-sized with usb 
as communications interface.  That has about as much give on it as a pc 
keyboard.  I have one of those and use it with one of Apple's most 
expensive boat anchors the powerpc g5.


If you can find one of those large full-sized keyboards in the Apple store 
or elsewhere I think that might make life better for you.

Re: [Mac-access]: does any one know of a way of un zipping things on the mac?

[Jude DaShiell]

http://www.FinkProject.org/ I'm sure has both the zip and unzip utilities 
available for you to build as fink packages and install once you install 
the fink installer and search using the fink installer package for unzip 
and zip.  That project has been making much open source software available 
for mac users back as far as before Tiger came on the scene.

You could also search under mac software in the apple store.

Re: [Mac-access]: help with a terminal error regarding makeinfo

Why not try for tab completion?  One could type cd tex then hit the tab 
key and see if your computer fills in the rest of that directory name for 
you.  If it does, hit enter and you're in like flynn.  If not, tab 
completion either doesn't yet work in terminal or doesn't work in terminal 
at all.

It looks like the latest version of texinfo is 5.2.

You can find it at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-5.2.tar.gz

After it's downloaded, open terminal, switch to the folder where it's located 
(I have a source folder in my home folder, and I copy things into that folder 
in their own folders before opening them, just to keep things organized).
(of course, I use wget to download such things instead of a web browser, so I 
don't need to move them anywhere, but that's another story)

Then, at the terminal prompt, type:

tar -zxftexinfo-5.2.tar.gz

This will create a texinfo-5.2 folder with the contents of the 5.2 texinfo 
program in it.
Rename this folder if you like to make changing to it easier, but if not, then 
just type:

cd texinfo-5.2

Then type the following commands (as each one finishes):

./configure
make
sudo make install

Assuming the rest of your compiler chain is recent enough, the process will 
produce screens and screens of output, all talking about the versions of tools 
on your system, where they're located, and of course, the compile messages 
which sometimes get quite involved.
But, assuming all goes well, you'll then have a texinfo version that is 
updated, and much newer than the one that ships with OSX by default, as this 
one was released in September (judging from the timestamp on the download page)

After that's done, you can go back to your previous program (lewis) and try the 
make again.  There may be other issues, but at least the texinfo version one 
will be solved.
hth.

Re: [Mac-access]: help with a terminal error regarding makeinfo

[Jude DaShiell]

I suggest you give up on this project temporarily.  You will need to get a 
version of makeinfo which is at least 5.00 or greater.  You can probably 
do so from http://finkproject.org/ once you have downloaded and installed 
the fink project installer from that site.  Next you need to learn how to 
use the fink installer.  A command like fink install makeinfo is 
ultimately what you will use if makeinfo info is at or beyond version 5.00 
on finkproject.org.  Once makeinfo is upgraded, you can then return to 
liblouis building.  Another possibility may be to update makeinfo from the 
apple store if a version is available for your hardware at the apple 
store.  Before I end this message I should also mention homebrew though I 
have no url for that and macports.com.  There is also mac-updates.com to 
check and ninite.com.  At least those are the updates sites I know about.
