Re: iOS browsers was Re: IOS 7, probably the most buggy I've ever seen yet!
Hi! I’ve already bugged this the first time I browsed with iOS using Safari when iOS 7 was released. I’m sure they’ll get around to it, but I wish it’d be sooner rather than later, since it really is an ugly experience. I’m using another browser for the time being, and it works, but it’s certainly a workaround. The only reason I actually mention it is because I’m curious if anyone’s experienced something similar to this. If someone who browses frequently with Safari has not experienced this behaviour, the performance problems may be difficult to reproduce, and would certainly be part of the reason it has not been fixed yet.

So, needless to say, I've really seen Voiceover evolve, and I O S evolve as well in general. I've always loved I O S.

I don't think one mobile platform's better than the other. They both have their plusses. However... This being said, I must say, this last I O S 7 update, at least on my IPhone 5S has almost caused me to reconsider that above statement. I'm not saying that these bugs are happening for everyone, and before anyone asks, yes, I have indeed restored to factory default, and not even rolled back from a backup, and it did no good. Siri Siri has become more of a joke lately than it has a help. Even in a quiet environment, half of the time, Siri not only doesn't hear me correctly, but a lot of the time, she doesn't even hear me at all. A lot of times, even when the phone is not even close to my ear, and the proximity sensor isn't even remotely close to being covered up, it still routes Siri through my earpiece rather than through my loud speaker. Ring VS Vibrate This hasn't cropped up until recently, and it's extremely rare, but it does happen, thus, I do have to document it. Even when my mute switch is disabled, meaning, my phone is not on silent mode, the phone still only vibrates. I don't even have vibrate enabled under settingssound unless it's in silent mode. Alarm Clock Thank God for 3rd party apps, as I cannot seem to get my alarm clock working anymore. I think it may have worked once and once only since the latest 7.1 build update. Touch ID I'm finding that half of the time, scanning my finger print produces the msg to try again even though my finger is dead smack centered on the home key. Connectivity Almost constantly! I lose internet connection. My wifi itself never disconnects, however the dhcp seems to quit being auto detected. No, it's not a router issue, as none of my other non I O S devices have this problem. Yes, I tried resetting network settings, and it did no good. Yes, I reset the router. No good. Yes, I changed the wifi channel. NO good. Yes I changed the wifi protocol. NO good. Yes I changed the SSID. NO good. Yes, I updated my router to the most recent firmware. NO good. Even on LTE/4G, I find my internet going away almost constantly. Even a reset by pressing and holding lock and home together does no good. Resetting the springboard with a quintupple rapid press of the lock key doesn't work either 3 fourths of the time. I literally have to shut the phone off, wait about a minute, then turn it back on, and usually! key word, usually! it regains internet access at that point. I find that bluetooth is disconnecting more frequently, and the d is tance range isn't near as good. I get no more than 10 feet away, and it usually poopoos out. Audio quality with Voiceover Ever since the 5C and 5S have come out, I've found that turning up the volume really high causes distortion in both models. Well, as of the latest 7.1 update, I'm finding that it's gotten ever so slightly worse. It's very suttle, but I can definitely tell from 7.0 to 7.1 it's gone down hill. Plus it sounds way more compressed even on the high quality premium voices. Bad pronunciation Now, we have this issue with Symantha saying Convella instead of convert. What the bloody heck! Apple said they'd fix it, yet, I've not seen a fix. On the plus side I will! give Apple credit on one thing. The bluetooth bug we had in the last build indeed has

Re: CereProc Voices for Mac
Hi Esther, Well, I suppose we could buy them, since they don't offer demos unless you request them, and even then it's not always the case they let you download one. That having been said, since the prices seem to be the same for both Windows and OS X now which is a lot more reasonable, it wouldn't break the bank. That aside, I doubt it'll be as good as Infovox ivox, unfortunately. I tried building a speech synth upon Apple's instructions, and that didn't get as good results as the work with Infovox. I don't know how Assistiveware managed to make it work as well as it does, but at any rate, that'd certainly be useful information for other developers such as Ivona, who's also very interested in making it work well with VoiceOver. Regards, Nicolai On May 4, 2013, at 1:58 PM, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi, I answered a post about other voices for the Mac a few weeks ago with this information. I also had one of the Cereproc voices from the same period that Nic describes, and I had to delete it because it crashed VoiceOver on my Mac. I quite liked the voice, which was one of their Scottish voices, and It may have been possible to use it for TTS only, but I noticed that my Mac froze up on one occasion (not just the VoiceOver crashes), so I had to uninstall it. On the other hand, I noted that Cereproc built a custom voice for the late film critic, Roger Ebert, who had to use his Mac and VoiceOver as a substitute voice when he lost the ability to speak in one of the operations for cancer of the larynx. Maybe they've improved? He certainly couldn't have used their voice for him if it froze up his Mac as much as it did for us. I'd like to know if the Cereproc voices are a reasonable option now, because I did like the sound of the voice. If I were being mischievous though, I'd ask whether Siri has difficulty understanding the voice Josh, if you want to hear what their voices for Obama and Bush are like, you can get either the free iSpeech Obama or iSpeech Bush iOS apps.

Re: How to use crutial's memory scanning tool?
Hi Sarah, When you say memory scanning tool, I'd assume the application you download off of Crucial's website. That tool simply scans the computer quickly, then brings up a page in Safari with your current specs and compatible upgrades, but also allows you to choose other options like a different drive capacity, but upgrades which will primarily be compatible with your Mac. If you're not using your Mac while wanting to do the scan, or using another Mac but want to see upgrades for a different computer, you can use the Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool. It allows you to select manufacturer, computer and model from pop up buttons. TO apply your choices and show results, just move the mouse pointer to the RAM configurator image with VO-Command-F5, then press VO-Shift-Space. A new page loads, and recommended options appear, and you can also download the Sysem Scanner from here.. I recommend the system scanner if applicable. It's a lot simpler to use, and shows you hard drive options as well as memory options. Regards, Nicolai On Apr 26, 2013, at 4:18 AM, Sarah k Alawami marri...@gmail.com wrote: lol.

Re: Very high intermediate towards advanced question about sharing
Hi! Some people won't have the web sharing box in System Preferences in Mountain Lion. So, you have to enable Apache in Terminal like so sudo apachectl start You can replace start with stop and restart as you see fit, but keep in mind that you have to make OS X launch the daemon when you boot the system. This won't be done automatically. sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd Disabled -bool false To disable this, you of course just write true instead of false in Terminal. From what I can tell, Apache actually already uses both system and user-specific web sharing, though I can't make the system-wide configuration work when I put files in the appropriate folders. This may just be because it might have one enabled this being the user, but it does show the site added in the /library/webserver/documents location which is for the system-wide web share, so I can't imagine that being correct. Either way, configuration file is here: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf IF you don't see it, try using something like nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to open the file and edit it that way. I can't answer your questions completely, I think, since I can't make it properly work for me due to my configuration in my current area.

So here's the situation. I am running OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I have gone under system preferences, then to sharing. I turned on web sharing, which started the web Apache http daemon service built into the OS by default out of the box. The problem is, even after enabling the root user account which for liability reasons I am not on list going to reveal how to do, I still cannot see under /etc/apache any type of httpd.conf file that I can edit in Text Edit like I would do on Unix/Linux. I know that one for 20 bucks in the app store can get the server extention add-ons, but why do that only for a GUI front end interface? Sure it makes things like setting up dns routing, port mascing, IP cloning etc. more easy, but... Basically, I only need to really make two changes. By default, the web daemon is set to be user specific. This means if I want to access a file over the web http service, I must go to: http://IPAddress/~UserName IE: http://192.168.1.11/~chris Then, basically I can access from there anything inside /MacintoshHD/Users/chris/Sites, such as index.html So my question is, I want to change the directive within the conf file so that instead of it being user specific, it is system-wide. This way instead of going to an address formatted like above, I could instead jsut go to: http://IPAddress and that's it. no /~UserName at the end. The only problem is, in doing this, if I make the service system wide, then I'd also suspect I'd have to somehow change the HTDocs location so that there would be one global system wide directory where all web files would go. Then I'd probably have to chmod the thing and set not just the owner and the group, but also everyone
Re: Problem with Log in Window, can you try and help?
Hi, I've covered this is another topic. Basically, what happens is that the screensaver appears. When that happens, tapping a key doesn't automatically bring focus to the window. So, you can hit VO-F1-F1 to bring up the Application CHooser. Go to the Login window menu, then hit enter on it and select the only window available there. You have to use the application chooser because it's essentially a different application that manages the Login window.

Re: (what Fleksy means for us) was Re: Fleksy
Hi Dónal Just to throw in my two cents also. Fleksy is a nice application because it lets you type incredibly fast, and this even applies to when VoiceOver is off for sighted users. Sighted users don't have to focus as much on what they're typing if they already know how to touch-type, and it makes their typing speed infinitely better. Also, because APIs exist which allow certain areas of the screen to accept regular gestures, Fleksy being a case where this is used, this could technically be incorporated into iOS as a global keyboard method. However, incorporating this globally isn't as easy as it would be with a simple keyboard that does not exist in iOS, such as the Emoji keyboard in iOS 4 because Developers need to have certain APIs sandboxed or create an SDK, which Fleksy has done. In this case, Apple would need to make it happen if you wanted something like this to be globally available. Installing an application which lets you select its input method as a keyboard in any text field is one thing, but this is a completely different approach. As for OS X, lots of bugs still exist. However, speaking from the perspective of someone who submits them and actively receives feedback on them when something changes, it sometimes takes months for Apple to review the bugs you send in. When they do review them and get back to you in detail, they often tell you to reproduce it again in hope of the issue being fixed, or say that they cannot reproduce it. It gets a lot more complicated when they can't reproduce it, because a lot of bugs are sometimes machine-specific, or depend on your configuration. If they depend on your configuration, it also depends on how VoiceOVer is configured, how you installed OS X as well as how you modified the application exhibiting the behaviour. Logs don't always tell you everything. Secondly, fixing one bug sometimes breaks something else, which is very common. I will say that some of these bugs have been around for a very long time, and some features purely don't exist when they should be available. Obviously, this just means Apple's engineers need to focus a bit more on the smaller bugs which eventually add up and become very annoying. Every time I've talked to their engineers, the critical bugs seem to be the most important ones. This is understandable, but the issue seems to be that when a lot of these bugs have been ironed out, the smaller bugs are left to grow. Some of them are just difficult to deal with, such as the issue with page loading which is apparently a bug that is very hard to fix. That bug is just one example though, because some of those bugs are not so easy to fix if you understand the technical aspects. I mention that because some people find a bug and figure it'll be very easy to fix when it seems like a small glitch, but what a good part of users don't realise is that a lot of these issues are interconnected. Fix one thing, and you might break another. Again, the page loading is a good example here. In the past, I have also mentioned issues that I have had which have not plagued everyone else on the list who responded to my problem. This is another case in point. Just to clarify. I'm not defending Apple, because I think, too, that some of these bugs at least need to be put down and fixed even though Apple already knows about them. That having been said, your note about extensions worries me. I see two sides to this, however, and that is firstly that it can be an advantage, at least in the case of OS X. OS X is a lot more open than iOS because it doesn't limit you in the case of modifications if you know how, and this also includes VoiceOVer. iOS is different because everything relies on Sandboxing unless you jailbreak. My concern about extensions, though, is that people might become dependent on them. Plugging in to the screen reader makes me think of JAWS on the Windows side where everything is scripted and you can make changes to an application through scripts to make it easier to use. Depending on what you'd use extensions for, I wouldn't consider them a benefit personally. You can already use AppleScript to make some tasks easier, but they're not direct extensions or modifications to VoiceOVer. You can extend VoiceOVer's features if you know how to do it, but it's painstaking and requires a lot of effort to get to what you want. For instance, you can get tables to read properly in any application which uses them by plugging in to the right frameworks, but by making use of VoiceOVer-specific technology which Apple does not leak on the Developer website. I'm speaking as someone who's had intimate experience with VoiceOVer, and keep in mind I'm not at all slamming your post. I actually agree, but it's worth getting both sides.

Re: So What Constitutes A New iMac?
Hi Dane, You won't get any compensation for this, even if you tried. The manufacturing isn't taken into account when reading the System Report. OS X bases the model year off of the last produced Model, which was I believe on May 3 2011. The system report doesn't say anything different just because you buy a new model, when the model number remains the same as currently produced models. Even if your iMac has been originally installed in 2012 as was not the case with yours, the Mid-2011 will always reflect the model number and never when it was installed or manufactured, since it shows the release year of the current model. So, this is a trivial detail and isn't even a concern. Regards, Nicolai On Aug 14, 2012, at 6:34 AM, Dane Trethowan d.tretho...@me.com wrote: Hi! So what's the actual definition of a new iMac machine? As other list members will know I received what appears to be my new iMac machine yesterday and its working well so no complaints there. However I am curious due to the content of the system report available under About This Mac in the Apple menu. The System Report tells me that the model of iMac I have is a Mid 2011 model and simple calculation will tell us that this goes back further than a year. Okay, so I expect that time has to elapse between say manufacture, shipping, stock in the warehouse and so on but just how much time elapses before something is defined as not being new any more? Perhaps I'm being trivial? Well I don't honestly know but I do know that I was a little surprised when I saw the date on the system report.

Again I stress that perhaps I'm bing trivial, after all! the machine has all the specs I read about on the Apple Web site before purchase, it came clean and packed well and is working right now but I am wondering whether it would be worth to perhaps get some cash back or at least some sort of credit or compensation given the age of the machine? --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

That's more convenient than waiting for Fleksy to load more times than I think it should, especially because they told me that it only will when you reboot the phone. It doesn't though. So, that's my biggest gripe so far. The new update does work quite well, and it's a nice solution for typing and would be great if Apple decided to implement this as an alternative input method, but I can't be bothered to wait for it to load or bring it up to type what I want then switch back to Messages. If it could integrate with threads so you could select which one to attach the text to, then I'd love it. Even when I turn VoiceOVer off and type regularly, I still can't type as fast as Fleksy allows me to type.

Re: Fleksy
Hi, Yes, I do know that. That's what I'm doing, but sometimes when I seem to need it most it still loads even when running for me. Of course, that may depend on the application state of Fleksy, because potentially inactive apps may sometimes quit. Practically everyone I know is sighted, or don't have iPhones, so even though Fleksy would be useful for sighted people too as I explained in a second message, no one here is really using it. This is partly because Fleksy currently has no international dictionaries, though I know they're working on it. So, even when I text internationally and Fleksy is useful, I still have to go into a separate message since it doesn't seem to integrate with iMessage. So, I like Fleksy because even without VoiceOver I can type faster than I can on the regular keyboard because I don't have to be quite as accurate, but switch to another application to send messages to people. This isn't a particular problem, just not always worth it for me unless I'm the one texting first.

Did you also know that once you have typed your text and you press and hold the screen above the keyboard you can double tap message and use the text directly in a new message? You can also reply to messages directly so long as the message was originally sent with Fleksy. Hope these all help. On 10/08/2012 11:43, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: Hi, yeah, I've used it.

Re: Mac air vs macbook pro
Hi, I chose the MacBook Air for portability reasons. I didn't want a MacBook pro because of its weight, and I didn't really need the noise. My MacBook Air has the 2.0GHZ processor which is turbo boosted to 3.2 GHZ, 8GB of RAM and only 128GB of disk space. However, I could've picked a 512GB SSD as well, but I don't need it on a laptop that is mainly going to be used for studying. Also, keep in mind that while you can update the MacBook Pro to 16GB of RAM instead, you may never need it, so this won't necessarily prove to be an advantage. The MacBook Air has several heating vents, and it doesn't actually get very hot unlike some of the earlier models. At least, it's not as horrible as you might believe. When the fan actually does work hard, it doesn't make a lot of noise. The only thing you can truly hear is all that air, but that's not really surprising. You can hear the fan noise too, of course, but I haven't found it to be very loud even when running at full speed.

Re: Mountain Lion App store question
Hello Paul, Try going to the purchases tab, then interact with the cell that says Installed. You should hear that the installed button is dimmed. Now, try hitting Option-Space. This overwrites the behaviour of OS X and forces the app to reinstall if it is not already. This also works on applications you have already installed and register correctly. When you have hit Option-Space, you can stop interacting with the cell and VO-left then right. It should then say that the button is now Pause.

Re: infovox ivox 3
Hi William, They are charging by voice now. You can purchase credits which only cover one voice, or multiple voices at once. The only difference being that Scandinavian voices cost more in terms of credits. Obviously, if you already purchased a voice pack when you had iVox 2.x or earlier, you have in a sense already purchased the credits to redeem those voices. What's also nice about their new system is that it is based on accounts and no longer activation codes. If you create an account, your licenses will be transferred to the account and you can simply log in to your account in order to activate all the voices for which you hold a license.

Re: Vmware not support in mountain lion: at least not yet
Hi, The latest VMWare Fusion works perfectly fine. The latest version is 4.1.3, but every 4.x version has worked without a hitch. VMWare may not be aware it works if they don't have the ability to test it, of course, which is where this might stem from. Either way, though, it works fine and as expected. Even if VMWare doesn't officially support Fusion under Mountain Lion, it still runs my virtual machines so that's proof enough. There may be initial features that Mountain Lion has added which are not supported by Fusion, but obviously that's just a matter of VMWare implementing them.

Re: Mountain Lion: is it safe to take the plunge and buy it?
Hi, Nope, you can update to Mountain Lion just fine. The drivers and so-forth are completely separate, so you shouldn't encounter any issues. I can't think of any, anyway.

Re: Mountain Lion: is it safe to take the plunge and buy it?
Hi, Just for those who have a qualified Mac for the up-to-date program, you won't be able to complete the form. Read more here: https://uptodate.apple.com/UtdPrepareAction?program=Mountain%20Lionlocale=en_us It appears that the page uses a widget which does not work with VoiceOver, probably using a canvas element or another visual element to set the date of purchase. This is an epic fail, and reminds me of how horrible Apple sometimes is with ensuring their sites work with VoiceOver, and comes somewhat close to the MobileMe/iCloud experiences. Just a word of warning. If you have anyone sighted nearby, they can probably help. Using VoiceOver I haven't been able to do it, but I can do it without VoiceOver just fine because it's a widget.

Re: Mountain Lion Up-to-date program for recent Mac buyers [was Re: Take Control Titles]
Hi, I pointed this out in an earlier message about upgrading to Mountain Lion. If you hit enter, VoiceOVer speaks the current date but I haven't found a way to accessibly change it. I'd guess that it's a widget which makes use of a canvas element or another visual element to change the date, but the arrow keys don't actively seem to do anything. In a lot of cases, the mouse is the only way to use these kinds of elements. My guess is that you can use Mouse keys, but I'm not very proficient at them and I find them pretty slow as they only seem to move by pixel. I've done this without VoiceOVer on, and I just tried this with VoiceOver on as well and it works. Essentially, what VoiceOver does not pick up is that it is a table imbedded within a widget such as a canvas, which contains the various dates. You have to click on them to change the date. If you use the Speak text under mouse after delay checkbox in VoiceOver Utility/Verbosity/Announcements tab, you can use the mouse to quite accessibly move your finger over the various columns and click to change it. VoiceOver will announce the change, but be sure to hit enter first when the date text has focus or VoiceOver seems to remain quiet. I also recommend that if you use this approach, set the delay slider to 0% so that it is 0 seconds. Obviously, it's important that you ensure the mouse has focus with VO-F5. The element normally does obtain focus as expected, but if not, hit VO-Command-F5 and start moving around to try to find the date you want. Again, Apple should have designed this with accessibility in mind, but it has not it would seem. I'm sorry if this sounds like a very crazy approach, but it seems to be the only one in this instance. Mouse keys seem to move by pixels, and this is fine except it would take a very long time to get between the various columns.

This program also applies to new Macs that you buy from qualifying resellers after today, but which come with Lion installed. The program is called Up-to-Date, and you have to file a request with Apple through their web form either by August 24, 2012 (in the case of purchases before today), or within 30 days of your purchase date (in the case of new Macs purchased after today, but which have Lion loaded as the operating system). The way this works is that after your purchase is verified you get a coupon code to apply for your purchase of Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store, but I've heard there have been some problems with some of these codes not working in the massive startup today. For more information, check the web page explaining the Up-to-Date program: http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ Josh, the date text field is supposed to refer to the date of your purchase, so they can check for eligibility.

Re: Apps not supported on Mountain Lion (was Infovox ivox voices and Mountain Lyon)
Hi, X11 might not be supported under 10.8. In fact, the page that leads to the download page no longer exists. It's worth considering which apps may not be supported, though I'd expect most already work. Mountain Lion has a lot of changes, but not a complete redesign. Secondly, the way VoiceOver interacts with 10.7 hasn't changed surprisingly much in 10.8, at least in terms of voice usage, so Infovox iVox works even if you're using 2.0.1, though I recommend updating to 3.0 if able for the added responsiveness, pronunciation improvements and new voices. You should be able to safely update a lot of applications, or use existing ones. Some applications won't have the new features implemented in Mountain Lion, but that's a matter of the developer not having updated it to support Mountain Lion just yet. Another concern is that some applications do check if you're running the intended version of OS X, even though a majority of them can run on Mountain Lion despite whether or not the developer can only vouch for 10.7 compatibility. It's worth investigating whether or not X11 is no longer supported. I'm not sure if Lion has the X11 icon in Utilities and brings you to a download page when you click it, but that's how 10.8 has it. Apparently, everyone is speculating that 10.8 will arrive on July 25. Regards, Nicolai On Jul 19, 2012, at 4:19 PM, Dónal Fitzpatrick dfitz...@computing.dcu.ie wrote: Folks Eric brings up a point.

Re: fleksy is out!
Hi, I've tried the app. In fact, I downloaded it while I was on holiday because the hotel I was staying at on my way home offered free Wi-Fi. I find myself typing very accurately with this. Even without VoiceOver, you can hit the wrong letter with the regular keyboards, so Fleksy is actually helpful here in that you don't have to delete anything in most cases. In my case, my hands are too big to always hit the letters accurately even when I use VoiceOver, so Fleksy is very helpful because it allows me to simply type and forget. I don't have to focus as much on whether I'm touching the write letter, and this helps even when I don't use VoiceOver. Incorporating this into IOS would be a pretty good solution, at least an alternative one. I don't agree that it should be the only text input method particularly when Fleksy receives international keyboard support, but being able to switch to it as you would a keyboard already implemented into iOS would be very efficient as it would apply to any text area. Third party developers can already do this, but developers do not have enough control over the implementation as they can only change the letters and symbols. I find myself forgetting to use Fleksy, though. Because it can not be switched to like the other keyboards, I find myself sliding when I get a text in order to reply and just typing, as opposed to bringing up Fleksy, entering what I want to type, then copying or sending it to a message. In this particular instance, having it incorporated into iOS would be very useful. Unless Apple comes up with something even better which somehow does not require you to turn off VoiceOver, it seems to me that this would be an avenue worth pursuing. The price seems very justifiable. It's a great solution, works very well and while it is specifically designed for blind people, it's even helping me out when I look at the screen and I don't have to look so much at what I'm typing or even at the keyboard itself. I've avoided a lot of tripping while texting with this application, so I'd say it helps avoid injuries even though you could just avoid texting while you walk entirely.

Re: fan in mbp?
Hi Lynne, Depending on what application he used to play music (we'll assume iTunes,) some processes in OS X sometimes run very resource-hungry tasks. One resource to watch out for in particular is mdworker. What this stands for is Metadata Server worker and it ensures that your files are Indexed using Spotlight, and is the core technology behind the search engine. It generates its index using metadata making it possible to find files instantaneously using Spotlight. It's very much known to take up a lot of CPU, so this is probably what happened. It tends to really start working when you, for instance, plug in an external hard drive. Keep in mind that it tries to index all of the new files that it discovers, so depending on the new files found it may take longer than you expect. Also depending on the workload it will work harder, but the high CPU usage is totally normal. Other processes may increase your CPU usage, like Voiceover, but if VoiceOver does this often you need to do some tro ubleshooting. VoiceOVer is designed to hardly eat up any resources. You can review the CPU usage of your processes through /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app or by using Terminal commands. A kernel panic is something entirely different and actually causes your Mac to freeze, and even third party programs can cause this, although kernel panics should be extremely rare. it is an internal fatal error for which your operating system cannot recover, and is often related to hardware problems though some software particularly in the operating system itself may trigger the behaviour. It's a safety mechanism which aims to prevent data corruption and the risk of data breaches, and attempts to facilitate a diagnosis of the error. For those familiar with Windows, this is what most users even consumers call the blue screen, or Bug check.

Re: fan in mbp?
Hi Lynne, OS X can reboot about 15 seconds later if you set the option in the Energy Saver preferences, however this feature seems to be the default under 10.8, Mountain Lion, and cannot be changed. Kernel panics may cause the fan to whirl a lot, but it's not going to matter because when your Mac throws a kernel panic, you can't use it. Under Linux this works slightly differently because it can also throw what is called a kernel oops, which means the kernel runs after killing the offending processes, however this can lead to further instabilities which may eventually cause a full kernel panic, so this is where the confusion may arise. OS X will display a multilingual error message telling you to reboot until your computer restarts, or it will reboot on its own depending on your preference. Anyway, I digress. Bottom line is that the option to automatically reboot under Lion seems to be optional, and not set by default. In this case, you may experience high fan activity but in either scenario, Mac OS X is unusable because of the error encountered.

What this stands for is Metadata Server worker and it ensures that your files are Indexed using Spotlight, and is the core technology behind the search engine. It generates its index using metadata making it possible to find files instantaneously using Spotlight. It's very much known to take up a lot of CPU, so this is probably what happened. It tends to really start working when you, for instance, plug in an external hard drive. Keep in mind that it tries to index all of the new files that it discovers, so depending on the new files found it may take longer than you expect. Also depending on the workload it will work harder, but the high CPU usage is totally normal. Other processes may increase your CPU usage, like Voiceover, but if VoiceOver does this often you need to do some t ro ubleshooting. VoiceOVer is designed to hardly eat up any resources. You can review the CPU usage of your processes through /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app or by using Terminal commands. A kernel panic is something entirely different and actually causes your Mac to freeze, and even third party programs can cause this, although kernel panics should be extremely rare. it is an internal fatal error for which your operating system cannot recover, and is often related to hardware problems though some software particularly in the operating system itself may trigger the behaviour. It's a safety mechanism which aims to prevent data corruption and the risk of data breaches, and attempts to facilitate a diagnosis of the error.

Re: macbook
Hi, Actually, the MacBook essentially does not come in three flavours anymore. The MacBook is no longer being supported, at least not officially by Apple. You can get them with educational pricing, at least where I live, but not without the educational discount. The MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are still supported, however, so those are the ones you'd want to pick up if you plan to get one. This doesn't mean that any authorised reseller in your country will not have any of these models in stuck, whether it's the white plastic MacBook or the aluminum one, since the aluminium MacBook was adopted into the MacBook Pro line. The reason that a lot of people think I had the white plastic MacBook and are not aware of the aluminium model is because it was released back in 2008 without a firewire port, and was adopted into the MacBook Pro line and discontinued as a MacBook when it received a Firewire upgrade. Consequentially, Apple didn't make another MacBook model until 2009 which retained the unibody design but came in plastic. Essentially, it does come in three flavours, but you're going to have to rely on either educational pricing or a local reseller. That's the bottom line. It was quietly discontinued, and I didn't see any announcements about it. It just quietly went away. The sensible choices now are the MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro if you want to go for a laptop.

Re: Is there an easy way to examine the clipboard?
Hi, Certain elements you can't review them by character, even if you interact. Not all elements will let you interact with them to read them, or even use VO-W. In the case of Finder, it is possible, but not all elements even if they appear as menu buttons, etc. Menu buttons is one particular element. If you want to, you can use Clipboard History. It lets you save as many history items as you want and you can then bring up the element in a contextual menu by using shortcuts. So, for instance, if you want to bring up the latest item in the clipboard you can hit CTRL-V. Hitting enter on it will paste it, but you can also read it with VO-W or VO-W-W to have it spelled out. However, you can't interact with menu items. You can, however, insert the ten latest copied items with Command-1 through 0. I use this often because it allows me to have favourites for the clipboard, and also comes in handy when there's information you thought you didn't need that you suddenly find yourself needing to paste. Of course, you have commands for favourites as well. I know it's not a fix, as such, but it may help you out. Here's the Applevis article I posted with more information, as well as the shortcuts available. I think it's a relevant application because it does let you examine the clipboard, since bringing them up in contextual menu items is not the only way to see them. http://www.applevis.com/mac-app-directory/productivity/clipboard-history Regards, Nicolai On Jul 1, 2012, at 2:19 PM, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: I am still not sure that you need to copy to the clipboard to do this. In general just keep on interacting with the element and you should eventually get to a stage where you can review the spelling by cursoring character by character. Specifically in Safari, you just need to interact with text, To read characters you will need to turn Quick nav off temporarily by pressing right and left cursor arrow together. Now pressing right or left arrow will read character by character just like in Text edit. Press left and right arrow again to turn quick navb back on. however in Finder the easiest way to read the characters of a folder or file name is simply to press return on it. This will enable you to edit the file name and whilst you will not necessarily want to do this in this mode you can just cursor along and get voiceover to read the folder or filename character by character. Pres return again and the folder and filename will return to normal.

Hello Anne, Yes I understand how to spell phonetically while reading or typing normal text. My problem is that I cannot always understand what VO says when arrowing down a list of folder and file names in Finder or sometimes when encountering controls in Safari (I cannot recreate this at the moment so am not sure of the precise circumstances). A possible solution to these problems which will work in all circumstances is to use VO+Shift+C to copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard and then paste that to a textedit window and then cursor around to hear individual words or characters. It would then be nice if I did not have to paste the clipboard into a textedit window in order to explore it. FOr file and folder names I can press Enter as if I were going to edit that name and then cursor over the name to fully understand it. However that does not work with the difficult web page elements.

Re: a website for viewing apps that are no longer in the iTunes app store? Please?
Hi Josh, In a lot of cases, yes. If the developer has the application available to circumvent the App Store, at least on OS X, you can get it via Mac-Update if they have it listed. Even if they don't, though, you can also try to Google it. In the case of Sandboxing, as someone who has worked with it, under iOS Sandboxing refers to a two-step process which basically takes away most capabilities for interacting with the system. Then, by use of Entitlements, developers can restore functionality to parts of iOS the application requires if needed. For OS X, this works a bit differently but the concept is the same. The Sandboxing access Control technology will allow the application in question to grant the permissions to access other parts of the system, but no more than what is granted. However, where this differs from iOS is because drag and drop and Open and Save dialogs can permit transparent access bypassing the Sandboxing restrictions, in order to use files within other directories, such as personal data. What's great about his approach, actually, is that the data the application needs to access is stored within its own container, thus isolating the damage in case of malicious code. Only files and resources within the app's sandbox will be affected. Of course, it can limit you because it won't provide free access to anything unless it is permitted, and this includes directories unless using two particular classes which I won't go into here. However, these two classes will not allow the user to use any features bey ond what the classes permit. In this case, the Open and Save dialogs. That's the short version. it gets a lot more complicated, but that'd be too boring. Some developers pull their apps because it may not be possible to adopt a particular feature to coexist with App Sandboxing design principals, and some haven't found an intuitive method to rewrite the feature to take advantage of it seamlessly.

If you just want a description of the app, you can find that for almost every app at the MacUpdate site. If you mean that you want a web site that will tell you that a particular app is no longer in the App Store, but that it once was there, then you can do a Google search on the name of the app, and Appshopper to find their Mac app listings. If the app was just pulled, then the AppShopper listing will still show as being current, and you can copy it. If a day or so has passed, the AppShopper page will say App removed from site, but you'll still be able to navigate down the page and read the old description. When apps get pulled from the iOS App Store, this is usually the way that I check they're gone. Also, I can still navigate to the App Activitiy heading and check the last time stamps for a sense of when the app was last around. Of course, in the case of some long gone apps, such as the i-map-u that Geoff recalls would give your nea rest intersection, and which was available from 2008 through to early 2011 (maybe January or February), the last activity that shows is the price drop back to $0.99 in April of 2009! Which app disappeared? A lot of apps are pulling out of the Mac App store with the new sandboxing restrictions. For example, TextExpander has a new version 4.0 release that just came out, but which isn't in the Mac App store because it doesn't meet the restrictions. The new features make it easier to generate template letters (where you fill in a name, or personalize small sections of a form reply), but because its snippet substitutions will work in any app, unlike the more limited text expansion that is available in Lion for Mail and a few frequently used applications, it doesn't meet the sandboxing restrictions and won't appear in the Mac App Store. I think this may apply to apps like Panic's Transmit, as well. (My Transmit license was an upgrade, done outside of the App Store.) See, for example, the MacWorld article from last week: TextExpander 4 adds features, but must leave the Mac App Store: http://www.macworld.com/article/1167373/textexpander_4_adds_features_leaves_mac_app_store.html HTH.

Re: Booting the New Mac Mini
Hi Lynne, This is the same with memory upgrades, and even hard drives. You can't, for instance, swap a non-Apple hard drive into an iMac from 2011, at least not without the right firmware. I accidentally went ahead and got one that didn't have the correct firmware onboard, and the fan just started whirring as loudly as possible and pretty much displaying a blank screen of death. They do the same with memory modules now. I've never really used Apple-branded RAM, so imagine my surprise this morning when my iMac was unable to boot out of nowhere. I had to dig around in boxes to find the old RAM, and essentially keep all of my other memory sticks that are now a total waste of money. Honestly, I find this a bit much. Machine specific installations, I can understand due to features becoming more advanced. What I cannot understand, though, is why it has to matter what hardware you use. As long as you get the right modules, it shouldn't matter. Apparently, Apple thinks otherwise.

Re: Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive MacBook Pro Don't Get Along Together!
Hi Lynne, You can do this three different ways. I'll outline these below. The first option seems to automatically assume you want to create a group for that particular user, despite you'll only be changing the permissions for the Admin group and not creating a new group that's under your username. I don't seem to be able to delete it and revert the group options, at least not the way you're supposed to. The first option is the way of the Finder. You can go to the file that you wish to change permissions for, then select Get Info from the item's contextual menu or simply hit Command-I to bring it up. Next, move down to the lock and unlock it, then enter the password when prompted. This will make it so that you can actually muck around with permissions in the Privileges table. What you want to do first is go to the SystemConfiguration folder and bring up the Get Info box, then follow the steps above to change permissions. When you can change permissions within the table, move down to the Admin and select Read and write. Now, choose the Actions… pop up and select Apply to enclosed items. When done, just close the window. Of course be sure to revert this when you're finished editing. You can also do this based on individual files, however the folder still needs to have the right permissions first. If applying the read and write permissions to every file inside the folder makes you feel uneasy, simply complete the steps you did on the folder on the specific files you want to edit. I'm not going to recommend doing it as Root, because root should only be used for serious system maintenance and allows you to access all files unrestricted. However, you can do it by going under Users and Groups in System Preferences, then click Join under the network server preferences under Login Options. If you can't do this, just click the lock and authenticate. next, click the Open Directory Utility button. Proceed to click the lock in the Directory utility, then authenticate. Go under the Edit menu and select Enable Root user. Enter the password you wish to use for the Root user. You can also do this via Terminal and chmod and using letters (symbolic codes) or numbers (octal,) but I wouldn't do this if you're not at least somewhat comfortable using it in the first place.

Re: a good accessible disk utility program.
Hi! yeah, this totally baffles me as well. Disk Utility works perfectly fine. So far, I've only seen one thing that doesn't work under 10.7, and that's locating the Destination field when restoring a disk image to a drive. It's doable if you know how to use a mouse, but it appears VoiceOver doesn't know it's there otherwise.

Re: Apple to reject Mac App Store apps using hotkeys starting June 1?
Hi! I'm positive that it is. It wouldn't be beneficial whatsoever to remove all hotkey functionality from App Store Applications, and the article was even updated to say that they will not be rejecting them. Also, if that was the case, I'm sure it would have been submitted to developers to prepare them for the change. In the passed, Apple has always posted to the developer list of huge changes like these, and there has not been such a post. Similarly, the submission guidelines do not contain a mention of this. It's also worth mentioning that if Apple did make this change directly on June 1 without notifying developers, the App Store would be wiped of apps for at least a short time. I don't see how this would be beneficial, since at least the majority of applications most like contain hotkeys.

Re: Accessible Mud Client found
Hi! Thanks a lot for this! I've found about 15 of them in total, but none of the developers seemed very interested in either continuing development or improving VoiceOver support. No more Espeak now. I'll give this a bit of a test drive soon enough and give feedback of course. I wonder about scripting and so-forth, but I'm sure I can read about that.

Re: Mac going crazy when personal hotspaot
Hi! Actually, my situation is slightly different, but somewhat similar. Mine affects applications, and not the entire connection. I may be able to get network on YoruFukurou and iTunes, but Safari refuses to except the internet connection. Other times, for instance, I can't retrieve email but I can brows the web and use some other applications until I switch off Wi-Fi then turn it back on. Once I have some more concrete evidence, I'll forward it to Apple. It may be worth checking console logs though, just to be on the safe side. I know that occasions like this are sometimes logged, even though you get a lot of messages very frequently especially when errors occur. I think you may be correct on the DHCP/static IP case, though.

Re: EU law forces Apple two-year warranty | Macworld
Hi, Actually, this is perfectly justifiable. Before just now, you only got one year of warranty if you included AppleCare, which truthfully isn't any better than what the insurance any other company can provide. In a lot of countries, you have an insurance which covers all damages to electronic equipment, like computers, televisions, microwaves and so-forth regardless of the warranty provided by the manufacturer. And obviously, Apple misleads customers by suggesting that we pay for AppleCare for the second and third year when the two-year law in Europe didn't cover it at the time, which actually should have been the case as the article says. So, Apple deserves taking the heat for this one, though I'm kind of surprised their lawyers haven't acted on this to prevent the misleading claims. Since I'm into law, at least as a hobby, I've been rather upset when I've shown up with damaged equipment to find I wasn't covered, but my insurance company was perfectly able to replace the item if it was damaged beyond repair, at least if you include the coverage when signing insurance. Of course, I haven't had damaged items, but I like to test Apple since they've been rather troublesome, not just in this area but also when it comes to advertising. At any rate, I'm pretty happy to see Apple refining AppleCare and warranty now.

Re: EU law forces Apple two-year warranty | Macworld
Hi Jeff, Actually, what truly impacts the pricing of any product here are the tax rates, and at least last time I studied this, consumers and producers bargaining. They're usually price ratios which are determined by these two factors, while competition brings a tendency towards an equilibrium level. When taxes are levied, business are unable to immediately raise prices to forward the cost onto the consumer any more than before the tax was brought into action. It's a consumer/demand supply relationship. Of course, anyone can figure that out, since it's just common sense. It gets a bit more complicated, but I don't want to rant on here, since my primary knowledge is now in business ethics thanks to a friend. What Europeans know is that Apple violated the European consumer laws, which is the important factor. The price really is not, as long as Apple is in accordance with the laws set forth. In this case, they were not. From what I understand, U.S. consumer law provides one year of limited warranty, at least from what I can gather from the information off of Apple. Europeans generally also know that there's a rather big price difference in products from the U.S. as opposed to buying a similar product in Europe, at least in some cases. That's not only because of the 25%VAT implied in some countries, but it's definitely what plays the biggest part and what most consumers are going to know.

Do most Europeans actually believe its free of charge without even a modicum of impact on the pricing of a product? Its incredible that the vary people who applaud this sort of thing whine about the disparity in prices for identical products in their countries. Of course since the US President has been intentionally trashing this nations currency for over three years, y'all may have a more favorable exchange rate, but the reality is that all costs have a direct affect on a company's profit margin which must be offset by increasing revenue. The only method at a company's disposal to augment revenue is to price their goods and services accordingly. To be fair, the pro-EU faction of Europeans don't have a monopoly on believing politician's fairy tales of a free lunch. Its always amusing to watch supporters of our current President demand that these evil energy producers be taxed for various offenses having to do with being an evil corporation in general and the global warming hoax in particular. Ironically, those vary people complain when their electric bills skyrocket and they can't afford to fill their gas tanks, or purchase food (which generally requires transportation). To keep this topical, its probably fair to conclude that citizens of the affected EU nations shouldn't be surprised to discover that this will hit them directly in the pocket book, which would be identical to the affect of raising taxes on Apple. Corporations do not pay taxes you see -- they simply collect them from their customers. Best regards.

Before just now, you only got one year of warranty if you included AppleCare, which truthfully isn't any better than what the insurance any other company can provide. In a lot of countries, you have an insurance which covers all damages to electronic equipment, like computers, televisions, microwaves and so-forth regardless of the warranty provided by the manufacturer. And obviously, Apple misleads customers by suggesting that we pay for AppleCare for the second and third year when the two-year law in Europe didn't cover it at the time, which actually should have been the case as the article says. So, Apple deserves taking the heat for this one, though I'm kind of surprised their lawyers haven't acted on this to prevent the misleading claims. Since I'm into law, at least as a hobby, I've been rather upset when I've shown up with damaged equipment to find I wasn't covered, but my insurance company was perfectly able to replace the item if it was damaged beyond repair, at least if you include the coverage when signing insurance. Of course, I haven't had damaged items, but I like to test Apple since they've been rather troublesome, not just in this area but also when it comes to advertising. At any rate, I'm pretty happy to see Apple refining AppleCare and warranty now.

Re: Time Capsule up and running again
Hi, I'm not planning on upgrading to Airport 6.0.0 or above whatsoever, personally, anyway. I haven't found options for RADIUS-based access control (802.1X) no IPV6 configuration, no more raw log views, and Apple apparently seems to have removed the options for Unix syslog server destinations for logging. Additionally, they even dropped SNMP networking monitoring support. Unfortunately, this includes the lack of wireless clients and DHCP client views which enabled you to see detailed information pertaining to your clients' signal strength over time on Wi-Fi, DHCP expiration and configuration details. You also can't set the Bonjour names of printers, nor can you set the base stations Bonjour host name. You can change the readable name, though, which displays in the Finder, but it's still not adequate. Windows workgroup support for internal disks has also been stripped. Another caveat, at least if you need it. Internal time zone can also not be set manually. I know some articles have already mentioned these, at least, I think that's the case. The ironic thing is that they can still be accessed through the hardware, but Apple just elected to remove these options from Airport Utility for whatever reason. So I'm sticking with 5.6. Given that my University has Airport base stations in several configurations but mostly run Windows computers, it's pretty maddening. I do love how the graphics show you a depiction of all the base stations though. Of course, a lot of this won't matter to home networks, but mostly enterprise.

Re: iMac: first impressions
Hi Dane, Thunderbolt is Apple's next-generation I/O Technology. It works with high-resolution displays and high-performance devices through a single port on the back of the iMac. MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs and even Mac Minis have these now. It has a connection of 10GB/S both ways, but you'll never see it measure exactly that when using a hard drive using this port and using a utility to measure read/write speeds. I've only had one Thunderbolt drive, and it was actually awesome, but a friend has it now. Also, I don't think a lot of devices support it yet.

Re: the new ios
Hi, Yes, this is correct. This particular focus issue has been throughout betas of iOS 5.1 builds, also plaguing every one of them for the most part. It still has not been resolved, as you can tell. I'd recommend that when you unlock the phone, wait just a second before moving to another icon. If you don't, it'll sometimes activate the icon which quickly gains focus prior to the iOS device moving to the original focused element. This bug used to be a lot more prevalent, however, so it's hopefully not as annoying anymore.

Re: new ipad
Hi, Just to correct you here. Yes, Apple does allow it, and yes they do exist, but experimentally so. However, the companies haven't made it into a regular keyboard such as the ones you can set under Keyboard preferences in Settings, which is also possible to do without any particular access to any source code. You don't need any low-level access in iOS to do this, so if the company can make it a workable solution, it's perfectly able to be worthwhile. I admit it'd be interesting to try, but it wouldn't make me faster. Even so, though, the fact it is a small demand makes Apple less likely to do it. Most companies probably wouldn't go for small-demand features, at least, not often I'd think. Regards, Nicolai On Mar 9, 2012, at 4:40 AM, Glenn wrote: That is not a big demand!

Special Characters with VoiceOver
Hi everyone, As you might know, Mac OS X has a ton of special characters built in, including the currently hugely popular Emoji. Emojis are, to be brief, Japanese emoticons or pictographs. Hundreds if not more of these exist, and an emoji keyboard can also be added to iOS which permits you to switch to it like any international keyboard layout. However, in the case of OS X, you have to drag them from the character pallet into any text field. While this can of course be done with the mouse, I haven't found a reliable way of doing this with VoiceOver so far. The characters won't show up for VoiceOver except the currently selected icon, so I'm wondering if anyone has actually found a successful way of using these. This of course does not just apply to Emojis, but any character in the CHaracter Pallet. I may just have missed the solution. I can do this with the mouse, but if VoiceOver tries to do anything with these they don't even show up anywhere. I'm hoping someone can help. Thanks!

Re: Two questions for iPhone 4S owners who've used either Siri or a keyboard case to speed up text entry
Hi! Another feature worth noting is that every keyboard on the iPhone 4S has a dictate key. When you press it, you can dictate punctuation marks and so-forth as well, and simply tap the same spot when you're done dictating. Another interesting thing worth mentioning is that if you are using another language on your phone, such as Danish which does not actually contain the dictation features yet nor full-functioning Siri at all, switching to a keyboard which is capable of using dictation will make it work for you regardless of phone preferences. So, even if you are unable to switch on Siri depending on language, you are still able to use the dictation symbol if the keyboard you have switched to is capable of using it. I've personally found this very helpful whenever I do use Siri, even though I'm not impressed beyond the dictation features. Siri currently works in English, German and French as far as I know, though there are some rumors floating around that Apple might at least add Spanish in 2012, most likely more, such as Italian.

Re: got the voice to work on the iphone
Hi William, Getting more than one voice is pretty pointless, at least if you plan to use them all. While you can obtain them by switching regions or even language, they are not used later on by the rotor even if they still exist on the device. Also, several hours after not being used the voice promptly erases itself, so you have to re-download it if not in use.

Re: Top Ten list of tools and techniques I used to successfully complete my first college semester as a blind student
Hi, I tend to use LaTeX as well. I'm obtaining a Computer Science Degree, of which UML (Unified Modeling Language) plays a massive role throughout all six semesters. Also, I was kind of forced into LaTeX, but it's actually really useful when you learn how. It also works for a lot of situations, such as UML since you have plenty of tools which plug into applications such as TeXShop, the LaTeX distribution for OS X. I haven't yet managed to use the edition, and wonder how useful it is going to be during teamwork, though I suspect it won't be as useful as it seems right now. I have a lot of doubts as to the style of the plugin. LaTeX is incredibly powerful, though, plugins aside. Even with the UML plugin, you can still draw diagrams. You just can't view those made by others, which is practically essential.

Re: iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s Questions
Hi! I find that Siri tends to break a lot. Granted, it is beta, but I find that if I have to perform various different tasks very rapidly Siri breaks. Either Siri won't listen, or it just keeps searching without stopping to find answers for me. Other times though, I have no issues, but it's pretty reproducible. I don't have a lot of things I can use Siri for, though, at least not very helpful ones. I can't answer your ATT question, though I'd imagine it'd be the same here too. There should not be issues unlocking either phone, though of course, ATT may have a different policy. Regards, Nicolai On Dec 1, 2011, at 10:41 AM, Matthew Chao wrote: Hi, Folks!

Re: sim fee iPhone: be very very careful.
Hi! The reason that it's sometimes worth looking elsewhere is that you can get it cheaper, even though it's an Apple authorized reseller. That doesn't always mean that it's the price Apple puts out, as is the case with my iPhone. Apple themselves also charge more for the iPhone 4 than they do for the iPhone 4S here compared to our biggest reseller, which is amusing, but very backwards.

This is just a friendly note of caution to be *very* careful as some companies are charging extortionate prices.

Re: Which has greater usability/accessibility, Sound Flower or Jac oS X?
Hello James, Jac OS X is more meant for studio setups or in those cases where you need multiple inputs and outputs through aggregate devices or other methods. While I think Soundflower has similar capabilities, Soundflower needs to be accessed via the status bar which VoiceOver is unable to do with third-party icons. So, if you need to do more than what you're doing now, I'd switch to Jac OS X.

Re: Growl question
Hello Paul, Programs typically register with Growl after they have launched. This means that in order to re-register them, you must close and reopen them for the files that send the registrations to act on it. Most of the time applications are smart enough to figure this out, but it's not always the case that it works. Growl usually shows all registered applications in the Applications tab in Growl preferences, but since 1.3, these are no longer reachable with VoiceOver. This is in part because Growl is no longer allowed to use status bar icons to implement preferences, and because you cannot reach these third-party status bar icons using the mouse under 10.7. I'm still not sure how high of a priority making the actual API available to VoiceOver is for Apple, but it seems like it should be pretty important given that more and more applications are making use of them. The mouse used to be a workaround, but we shouldn't have to use workarounds to do something you can do perfectly well usin g Voiceover commands with Apple's own icons. I don't think there is a paid version of Growl 1.3 you can get off of their site, but if there is now, that one probably still retains the System Preferences pane. When setting up Growl 1.3 for the first time, it asks if you wish to configure the settings. That does open the settings for Growl, but that's probably the only time you get to play with them. I'll admit that the inability to configure the settings caused me to remove it, but I should have figured the preference pane would have been removed due to App Store guidelines. If anyone's found a sneaky way around this enforced limitation, let me know.

Do you think iCal may need to be updated to work with growl 1.3? Should I scrap growl 1.3 and install an earlier version of growl? Many thanks.

However, Growl also has many major changes under the hood, some of which concern application registration, which means that some of your applications will not register with Growl until the applications have been updated to support it. Furthermore, I wasn't even aware Safari supported Growl in the first place. Skype also has its own built-in notifications, which will essentially do the same as Growl. These are found in Skype Preferences, then select Notifications in the toolbar.

Hi! Just command-right arrow to the favorites tab. It's set as default to show, so that should do the trick for you. Keep in mind that it only loads a hundred of your favorites, though.

Hi Chris, I'm a little bit curious as to why you didn't go for the iPhone 4S instead of the 4, since the 4S is the latest one.

Re: buying iPhone models
Hi! Well, CHris is United Kingdom, and I know the iPhone can be had pretty cheap on Contract over there. Unlocked it's about £600 I think, but someone managed to get it for hardly anything from Orange on contract. So, I suppose it depends on your options, too, and whether or not the carrier he has has the cheaper options. Even so, if the specs weren't necessary, I can see why he went for the 4S. Besides,if you don't think you'll eve use an 8 megapixel camera and Siri, then no. At least, I think he's UK, since he shops in Sainsbury's. I've never heard of an Australian Sainsbury's.

Its amazing how iPhone models seem to retain some value, I was offered $400.00 for the very iPhone 3GS I advertised on this list last week, a new 16GB iPhone 3GS on a pre-paid plan costs over $450.00 here and we're talking Australian dollars so I can perhaps udnerstand why Chris went for an iPhone 4.

Re: VoiceOver: a convenient option for the sighted?
Hi! I tend to agree with this. I've met very few employees who know about VoiceOver, but those who have have been knowledgeable in that area. I've watched Youtube videos where people deliberately go out of their way to display accessibility on iOS, and when VoiceOver is on they refer to the gestures as messed up and useless simply because they lack the ability to understand them, or even read a user manual. Amusingly enough, he tried to scroll on the screen using the sighted scrolling gesture even though his iPhone told him how to scroll using VoiceOver. Given the title, sighted users attempting to demonstrate an accessibility tool like VoiceOver gives people a bad impression of it, regardless of their disability. This is particularly true if they don't know how to properly use it. The video in question has had comments like OH god I couldn't figure out how to turn it of thx! which again makes the user manuals readily available to any user useless, simply because people panic instead of thinking rationally. Again, reviews like these are horrible because it gives the tool in question a very bad reputation, and regardless of how in-depth the video happens to me it always has an impact. That's definitely the case particularly if the user has posted trustworthy information in the past. Of course, sending in a comment yields a single word as a reply, that being SUBSCRIBE! without addressing the problem. This discussion could go on, though.

That's a real shame, all sorts of folks could benefit from it's use, but too many just don't ever find out about it, or of those who do, most never learn how it works. sigh I know it's human nature, but I really wish folks were better informed about it.

Re: VoiceOver: a convenient option for the sighted?
Hi Chris, I actually have a sighted classmate at university who uses VoiceOVer to read iBooks. However, I do know that iBooks also has a setting which lets you read kids books aloud, I believe, but I'm not sure if this extends to all books or simply depending on the author's permission. However, it does mean that he knows how to even navigate the phone with VoiceOver, and though he uses Navigon, he still finds it useful to tap the directions sometimes in the car. I'd definitely agree with you that VoiceOver can be a very convenient tool. Regards, Nicolai On Oct 26, 2011, at 11:14 AM, chris hallsworth wrote: Hello all. Thought I would bring this up for discussion. I had a support worker this morning who has an iPhone 4. I mentioned that it can be used by the blind and visually impaired thanks to VoiceOver. So I made them aware of where to turn on VoiceOver. But I had some ideas that came into my mind. 1. You could be reading a book, but you would rather listen to it than looking at it. 2. You could be driving. Here in the UK drivers are prohibited from looking at their mobile phones, including iPhones, while driving. So they could perhaps use VoiceOver so they can hear when a call is coming in or listen to a message they received. Of course the call would have to be made through a handsfree kit. So what do you think to the idea that VoiceOver, if made aware by the general public, could in fact be used as a convenient option for the sighted? I look forward to this discussion.

Re: downloading premium voices.
Hi Donál While it will download the premium voice, simply go into SettingsGeneralAccessibilityVoiceOver and toggle the Use compact voice switch to on. If you mainly don't want the Irish voice at all, simply go into SettingsGeneralInternationalRegion Format and select the other format that you wish to use, such as UNited States. If a voice is available for the region you select depending on the language you have, it will switch to that voice when selected and if plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi, the voice will download. Unfortunately, you don't have much control over it from here on, and you can't monitor its progress to ensure it's downloading. Apple is supposed to have fixed it so that any voice you have switched to via the language rotor regardless of default language is supposed to download, if the compact switch is set to off, but I haven't seen this work at all yet. Also, the default voice will continue to speak element types. Regards, Nic On Oct 13, 2011, at 11:17 PM, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Sorry Chris don't follow you?

Re: downloading premium voices.
Hi Donál I absolutely agree with you. It also seems that the voices download regardless of VoiceOver. My twin's iPhone suddenly spoke with a higher quality voice when I turned on VoiceOver when I helped him last night, and that voice was not available when I used it before, nor was it plugged in when I did so. You may already have the voice. It should be pretty easy to determine, since the premium Karen first of all is unable to pronounce her own name, so that's one way to find out. I do think, though, that you should be able to monitor the actual download of the voice as well. I don't always want them to download, since i'm multilingual in four languages if you don't count Dutch. I haven't determined if switching on the compact setting turns it off entirely, but I'd imagine that isn't the case since sighted users seem to get these too. Regards, Nic On Oct 14, 2011, at 10:37 AM, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Yes Nick that has been absolutely my experience, I'm glad to see you echoing it. I've set the voice to the Australian one, I just can't determine if the HQ voice has downloaded. When I put the use compact voice on, I do hear a difference in sound. My point wasn't so much about using (or not) the irish voice, it was simply that surely I should have a say in whether it downloads or not? I mean, it's my damn iPhone isn't it? Maybe I want to keep the space taken up by the premium voice for something else? Sighted users have choices in their visual displays in terms of themeing them with wall-papers etc. Why shouldn't we as blind users have the same choices over the visual theming? That last bit is an extract of a mail I sent to apple, which yet again has been ignored.

Syncing to Google Contacts perhaps broken in 10.7.2
Hi everyone, I realize this may be a bit of an odd subject, but since I have an iPhone and an Android device, I wanted to run this by you guys. Firstly, what I have done is to click the Accounts tab in Preferences in Address Book, then selected ON My Mac. I then click the Account information tab, then check the GOogle checkbox and click Configure. I proceed to enter my login details after clicking Agree to Google's terms. Previously, my contacts used to update fine when this was connected, but if I check them on my Android device after clicking Sync now from the Sync status bar at the top of the screen, nothing updates on the website either. You also used to be able to see Sync details during sync and after synchronization, but I guess this broke as well. If you hold down the option key when activating a status bar icon to view additional items, extra information usually appears but all I am unable to do is open Sync Diagnostics which I'm not interested in, as OS X doesn't complain. I don't think this is a fault of Google, though, because if I update it on Android it seems to work fine. Is anyone willing to try this out please? It's kind of urgent. At first, this was very slick, as it enabled me to both back up to iCloud for iOS and Google for Android.

Re: Syncing to Google Contacts perhaps broken in 10.7.2
Hello Geoff, Thanks a lot for checking on this. I'll report this right away, as well as the inability to click the See More links in messages. That one's needed fixing ever since the start.

Firstly, what I have done is to click the Accounts tab in Preferences in Address Book, then selected ON My Mac. I then click the Account information tab, then check the GOogle checkbox and click Configure. I proceed to enter my login details after clicking Agree to Google's terms. Previously, my contacts used to update fine when this was connected, but if I check them on my Android device after clicking Sync now from the Sync status bar at the top of the screen, nothing updates on the website either. You also used to be able to see Sync details during sync and after synchronization, but I guess this broke as well. If you hold down the option key when activating a status bar icon to view additional items, extra information usually appears but all I am unable to do is open Sync Diagnostics which I'm not interested in, as OS X doesn't complain. I don't think this is a fault of Google, though, because if I update it on Android it seems to work fine. Is anyone willing to try this out please? It's kind of urgent. At first, this was very slick, as it enabled me to both back up to iCloud for iOS and Google for Android.

Re: voices in iOS five
Hi! As a reply to my own message, I already got this confirmed. It has not been fixed as has been thought on the list, speaking of premium voices as originally was the case. At least, that's what we ended up talking about. If you download more than one premium voice and use the language rotor to switch to it, VoiceOver still uses the compact voice for other than your default language. This also applies to the various regions, so if you want your region voice to be premium you have to switch the format. This also applies to languages, and furthermore it still appears that voice disappear if you don't use them for a time. That is originally what I mentioned, but if others are getting different result that's peculiar since I'm using the same build. Also, I've heard rumors that people think the US voice is Jill. It's Samantha, just to clear that one up. Regards, Nic On Oct 13, 2011, at 9:15 AM, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: Hi! Did they fix it so that it knows to switch to the proper setting now?

Re: voices in iOS five
Hi! That's another good point. You don't really have any control of it beyond VoiceOver, and even so, it still downloads the voice whether you use Voiceover or not, and basically whether you want the voice or not. I find it strange that Apple hasn't implemented a method to disable this, or change it at least. For people such as myself, changing the region does it, but that's apparently not possible for UK iPhone users. Regards, Nic On Oct 14, 2011, at 2:03 PM, Chris Moore wrote: It would make more sense if Apple enables us to decide on what the default voice should be. Should i really have to listen to Daniel every time I hold in my home button to verbally interact with my phone? This does not just effect VO users, but anyone who takes advantage of voice commands, especially in the iPhone 4s. Drivers are able to select their preferred voice when listening to GPS systems such as TomTom etc. So as users become more dependant on barking instructions at their phone and listening to the default voice (which they can't change), they are going to start demanding the ability to choose what their PA should sound like.

Re: thoughts on iPhone 4S
Hi !From what I remember from having an Apple headset with remote, holding down the play/pause button would trigger Voice Control. That functionality isn't going to be stripped out, so when that voice assistant launches, you can use it for the very same. Secondly, iOS 5 probably isn't going to run horribly fast on the 3GS, compared to the iPhone 4. For those running the 3GS, the 4S is definitely worth upgrading to because of the faster speed. If you already have the iPhone 4, while the 4S is supposedly twice as fast it'd probably still run fine, and if you don't need the camera or Siri then you might as well stick with what you have. Battery life hasn't been made worse because of the extra power, but reportedly better according to the event. More power doesn't necessarily equal sacrificing battery life whatsoever. While Apple can sometimes be a bit generous with their statistics, it's not entirely untrue that you can optimize battery life and pack more processing power into a device with reasonably good results if the chip itself is capable of reducing battery consumption. In any case, I'll be getting mine from Germany. Everything is hugely expensive here because of various tax rates as opposed to Germany, and Germany is getting it on the 14th.

Re: use my macbook pro as an access point?
Hello Donál This is quite easy to do. Simply click Sharing from within System preferences, then move down to Internet sharing within the Services table. When that is done, VO-right away from the table until you reach the Share my connection from pop up button then select the port you wish to use. In this case, this would be Ethernet. Vo-right to the Ports table, then select the check boxes that apply. In this case, this is Wi-Fi. Then, move left again to the Services table and selec the Internet sharing checkbox that is already focussed in the table. That should do it for you. WHen you select to share the Ethernet connection in the pop up, the Ports table changes to reflect the change and you can set a password when you select Wi-Fi or opt to disable that function.

Re: On-Screen Content, let's all bug Apple!
Hi Gordon, This is something that the Infovox voices do, not Apple's. In fact, if you switch to a voice by Apple, Alex or others do not interpret this wrongly. I'm guessing in some places this is another way to format the dates, and VoiceOver does not always govern how information is interpreted particularly not by other synthesizers.

Nobody is above making errors, and I certainly did that on this occasion. However, I find the Alex voice nauseating. He sounds as though he has his fingers stuck up his nose and it's interesting because I don't remember him sounding this bad in Snow Leopard. As I type I'm using the Alex voice.

Re: Verbosity
Hi Gordon, Well, the real issue is that even the speech engines try to substitute on a lot of occasions, such as abbreviations, date formats, etc. VoiceOver does not have control over this, as which substitutions are being used depends entirely on the synthesizer that you use. I like abbreviations, if the speech gets them right if there are multiple instances of the same abbreviation which means something different, however, it'd be nice to actually be able to control which ones are used based on the speech engine that you use or even let VoiceOver control this aspect. Unfortunately, where Apple has actually done the most damage is when using letters like æ, ø and å where they have replaced the pronunciation in the original Vocalizer speech engine with the Apple translation from English straight to Danish, so that ø for example becomes o with slash if translated.. The actual engine does this correctly, but Apple for some reason seemed to want to change this, and telling them how it should be is an effort in futility. I used to love ALex, but in Lion I just can't get used to him. He doesn't pronounce things that different now, but it's just the gruff tone in his voice in general that I don't like. I find his speech more flowing, but even so, the gruff tone puts me off. A friend of mine described him as a kind preacher which kind of amused me but I found myself agreeing with that statement in the end. I will say that I wish we had a lot more control over how things are spoken. While we do have a Pronunciation Editor, it does not permit you to edit abbreviations for the voices and I suppose for a good reason. it would still be nice to switch it off, or even select which ones you'd want to use even if you were unable to edit.

Re: Verbosity
Hi Gordon, Well, Apple's voices do have a way to string sounds together as well, and you can actually play with the phonemes and if you have the patience, get some rather impressive results. However, you cannot save these as permanent pronunciations, so they are mainly used to customize a voice for specific uses for implementation within your OS X applications. Regards, Nic On Aug 29, 2011, at 3:55 PM, Gordon Smith wrote: Hi Nic You've basically said it all. But, of course, my error earlier was forgetting totally about the layer of control that Infovox presents. Infovox doesn't always make things too easy as they use fonems to string together sounds. I suppose that is reasonable in a way, as it allows you to customise things pretty accurately when you get used to how they goners work.

Re: accessible mud cliants for mac
Hi Collin, I've actually tracked down at least 15 clients for the Mac. I haven't had a chance to try all of them, but I saw a page listing them all. I had it bookmarked, but my bookmarks have become scrambled, so I'll have to dig it up. However, a simple Google Search will find it, too, if you're so inclined. Some of them are not being developed anymore, but some of them are. Atlantis is actually very accessible, however because it uses Growl, it tends to speak messages as they appear and not in any orderly fashion, especially if you use the Speech display. That is the only real downside, though this is a general downside to Growl if you do use the Speech display. Regards, Nic On Aug 19, 2011, at 2:30 PM, Red.Falcon wrote: Hi all!

Re: Turning on the I-Mac
Hi! Another thing that may be useful is to add System Preferences to your dock. This can be done by going to your Applications folder with Command-Shift-A, then typing the first few letters of System. Then, when you are on it, hit Command-Shift-T to add it to the Dock. Incidentally, you can also locate System preferences in the dock if it is running and not yet added permanently to the dock, then hit VO-Shift-M to bring up its contextual menu. This will display all the categories contained within System Preferences, and you can then select the Options submenu and select Keep in dock. Additionally, even if System Preferences is not running but added to the dock, selecting a category from the dock item's contextual menu (brought up with VO-Shift-M) will open that particular preference pane.

I then move with VO-Command-up arrow, or down arrow to change that particular property. To change the keyboard function key behavior, I go to system preferences by hitting the VO-m combination, finding the Apple menu, moving down until I hit system preferences, then hitting VO-spacebar on that. Then, I hit VO-Right arrow until I get to the scroll area, then interact with it by pressing shift-VO-down arrow. Then I hit VO-down arrow until I hear hardware Next, I press VO-right arrow until I hear keyboard and then interact with that by hitting VO-spacebar. Then, I VO-right arrow until I hear keyboard tab which should be selected. If not, then press VO-spacebar to select. Now keep hitting VO-right arrow until you hear the item related to function keys. This is a checkbox which needs to be checked. Just hit VO-spacebar on it if it isn't checked. Then you can close the system preferences window, and now you should be able to use those keys to get to VO utilities, and other VO functions. I'm not sure about the 2 f5 keys. Again, I hope this is helpful. Bob Hill On Aug 15, 2011, at 10:09 AM, David Griffith wrote: Thanks for all the help. I am up an running now. The Mac is so much quieter than my old rattling PC it may even cause my wife to forgive how much I have spent on it. Some things are ridiculously easy. Getting online was a breeze compared to the blood sweat and tears I have had to exert on PCs over the years. There is still obviously a learning curve. A few initial queries. My I-Mac shipped with Daniel as the default voice. I think I would prefer Alex, at least for typing echo. I have gone into voice properties by pressing VO command and right arrow but I cannot change from Daniel in these properties. Any comments? I cannot get into voiceover utility so it looks like I need to change the function key setting in system preferences but I am getting a little lost in these at the moment. I am trying to dig up a podcast where I am sure that this is described in system preferences. The final oddity at the moment is that there are 2 F5 keys on my keyboard.

Re: Optimizing Terminal with VoiceOver
Hi Gordon, Also, if you encounter the issue where information scrolls so rapidly down the screen that VoiceOver simply skips to the last information received, you can simply hit VO-H-H. This enters the command menu. Simply type s p ok and hit enter on the option, and VoiceOver will not move the cursor as text appears. While VoiceOver will not read text automatically if this option is selected, you can use the VoiceOver keys to move down the screen if you are interacting with the text.

Hello Sarah, No, this option does not have a default keystroke, but you can of course create one by using the Keyboard Commander. Of course, getting to it via the Command menu is pretty slick already, and if you don't want to revert the setting, you can keep it.

I'm a keystrokes person lo! but thanks for the tip. might use this in adium. On Aug 4, 2011, at 10:04 AM, Gordon Smith wrote: Hi Nic Excellent tip, thank you very much indeed. Gordon On 4 Aug 2011, at 17:48, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: Hi Gordon, Also, if you encounter the issue where information scrolls so rapidly down the screen that VoiceOver simply skips to the last information received, you can simply hit VO-H-H. This enters the command menu. Simply type s p ok and hit enter on the option, and VoiceOver will not move the cursor as text appears. While VoiceOver will not read text automatically if this option is selected, you can use the VoiceOver keys to move down the screen if you are interacting with the text.

I know where you're coming from because I frequently have to have commands repeated 4 times in order to get a legible response in speech or Braille. But I sometimes find that interacting before issuing any commands helps.

Does anybody have any suggestions for how best to do this?

Re: Cocktail, anyone had trouble running this under Lion?
Hi Dane, Did you make sure to grab the 5.0 beta? it works fine here, but scheduling has been disabled due to it being in the beta stages. It may very well be 5.0 now, in which case I haven't received the update.

Re: Cocktail, anyone had trouble running this under Lion?
Hi! After using Cocktail for a few times, I got the issue Dane is experiencing. However, grabbing the file and replacing it seems to fix it again, and not exactly sure why.
