Re: Having problems installing Maverick
Hello, I have checked my time machine preferences and they show that Mac Backup is the time machine backup disk. I will now try turning off time machine completely and see if that does any good. the really annoying thing is that I have to kill the Maverick install by force quit. If I then restart App Store it shows that Maverick is downloaded but the option to install Maverick is dimmed. The only way I know to proceed is to re-download all 5.29 GB of Maverick again - now the 4th time I have done that today! Does anyone know a way to retry installing Maverick after an install failure without having to redo the download? Many thanks.

How to retry installing Maverick without having to redo the download?
Hello, As per a prior post I am having problems installing Maverick as the installer incorrectly thinks the target disk is for time machine backups. I thus have to force quit the Maverick install. I am playing with time machine settings to try and overcome this problem. Is there any way I can retry the Maverick install without redoing the 5.29 GB Maverick download? In the App store purchases menu Maverick is shown as downloaded but the install button is dimmed. Many thanks.

Re: How to retry installing Maverick without having to redo the download?
Hello, Many thanks to John Gunn who pointed out that the Maverick installer is added to my applications folder. So that problem is solved.

How to stop Maverick installer incorrectly thinking the target disk is used for time machine backups
Hello, As per prior posts I am having problems installing Maverick because the Maverick installer thinks that the target disk (Mac HD) is being used for time machine backups. Yesterday Mac HD did somehow get marked as the time machine target disk. I think this happened because before installing Maverick I did a SuperDuper! backup to my external hard disk (Mac Backup) so that I could re-install Mountain Lion if Maverick proved troublesome. TOo check that all was OK wit the SuperDuper! backup I rebooted my iMac from the external hard disk. I suspect that caused Mac HD to be marked as a time machine disk. I have now hopefully set time machine preferences to no time machine backups but alas the Maverick installer still thinks that Mac HD is being used for time machine backups. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Fixed!: How to stop Maverick installer incorrectly thinking the target diskis used for time machine backups
Hello, This problem was caused by Mac HD containing an empty folder called Backup. This folder had been there for some time and I have no idea how it got there. However deleting this folder fixed the problem. Maverick is now successfully installed!! I must say that the Maverick install was pretty nerve racking. After the first restart my iMac took almost one hour to do the install with no voice feedback. I had to keep listening to the hard disk to ensure that the iMac was doing something. The second restart was a real relief!

Does the 5c support the new finger print unlock mechanism? Why might I consider the 5s rather than the cheaper 5c? Many thanks in anticipation of your advice.

Getting rid of a screen saver
Hello, I am running the latest level of Mac OS on my now rather old iMac. I want to get rid of the BOINC screen saver. Alas VO does not work for the screen saver panel of system preferences. The panel is nearly always busy and I have not found any way to modify the attributes of any screen saver nor can I change the screen saver which is active. Is there any way to get round this such as Terminal commands or editing some file in the library or using Cocktail? A key reason I want to change the screen saver is that I cannot leave SuperDuper running unattended as the screen saver kicks in before SuperDuper has finished which then causes SuperDuper to fail. I would much appreciate any suggestions. Many thanks.

Re: to shut down or put in sleep mode. also, what is Mavrick?
Hi Brian, I nearly always put my iMac to sleep rather than shut it down. I do this because it is then much quicker to startup the next day. I just have to enter my password to startup. the disadvantage of sleep mode is that the computer does consume a small amount of power while asleep. Maverick is the next release of Mac OS due in the Fall (November?). If Apple follows its usual practice you should be able to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Maverick via the App store for a modest cost - I recall that it was about 29 dollars to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion.

iPhone App stuck waiting
Hello, I am running the latest level of IOS on an iPhone 3GS. When I started my pedometer app today it did nothing. The iPhone home screen says that the app is waiting. It has stayed waiting for several hours. It is still waiting after turning the iPhone off and on again. It does not appear in the App Switcher so I cannot stop it that way. I could delete the pedometer app and re-install it but that would delete all my settings and worse all my irreplaceable history data. Any ideas on what to do about this? Many thanks for any tips.

Re: iPhone App stuck waiting
Hi Zack, I tried double tapping again but that did not work. However your hunch about the app updating may be correct. While it was wating I took my iPhone for a walk and on my return plugged it into the sync cable. After a few minutes the wating state went away. I thus wonder whether the app might have been updating via wifi sync which I interrupted when I moved the phone. Anyway it is now working again.

Re: Audio book binder
Hello Donald, I think audio book binder is free while you have to pay for audio book builder. I have both installed and when I last tried it I found audio book builder significantly harder to use and slower than audio book binder.

Saving TextEdit files
Hello, I am running the latest Mac OS with VoiceOver. I am having trouble saving TextEdit files created by the Apple Mail service Save selection in new TextEdit file or something like this. I can see the Apple Mail item in a TextEdit window but I cannot work out how to name the file and save it in a desired location. TextEdit gives the file a name like Untitled 3.rtf and when I press Command+S to save the file I do not see any way to enter the desired file name or the desired save location. Instead I just hear a message TextEdit has no Windows. I really want to do a Save As function but cannot work out how to do that. Instead I am reduced to copying an existing RTF file to the desired folder, then renaming that file to the desired name, then emptying the file of all content, then using copy and paste to save the desired content from Apple Mail into that file, and finally saving that file. It must be easier than this!

Daisy book reader on iPhone?
Hello, This has probably been raised before but I did not follow it then. Is there an accessible iPhone App which will read daisy books? A friend of mine has recently purchased an iPhone 4S and wants to transfer some daisy books which comprise multiple MP3 and XML files. He uses Windows and does not have a Mac. He probably does not care if some of the daisy features are not available. He would be happy just transferring the MP3 files.

Videos on iPod Nano 7
Hello, I have a new iPod Nano 7 and the latest level of iTunes and other software on my iMac. The iPod Nano works fine except for playing videos . I am trying TV programs with audio description which I downloaded using get iPlayer automator on my iMac and then transferred to the iPod Nano using iTunes. These videos play OK for a while and then stop prematurely. The track position in the replay controls is clearly incorrect showing values of something like 3 hours 12 minutes and 34 seconds of 29 minutes. The videos all play correctly on my iPhone and on my iMac. A search on Google suggest that the iPod Nano 7 is fussy about the format of its videos and maybe get iPlayer automator videos are not quite correct. Does anyone know anything about this? Can any of you successfully play videos on an iPod Nano 7? If the videos are not fully accurately formatted is there anything I can do to fix this such as running them through an App on my iMac?

Problem with video replay on iPod Nano G7
Hello, I am running the latest version of Mac OS and iTunes with a newly purchased iPod Nano generation 7. The Nano works fine except when replaying videos. When I replay a video of a downloaded TV program on my iPod Nano the video replay stops prematurely. For example it stopped 9 minutes into a 29 minute TV program. The Nano thought the video was finished after 9 minutes and so exited the video replay function. When I looked at track position on the Nano it knew that the video should last 29 minutes. However when I tried to change the track position with single finger up and down swipes VoiceOver said silly thinks like 5 hours 12 minutes and 10 seconds of 29 minutes. The videos I have tried on the Nano play fine using iTunes on my iMac. Do any of you own an iPod Nano G7 and if so do videos play correctly for you? Many thanks.

Find my friends App
Hello, The find my friends App in the iTunes App store uses GPS to determine the location of one or more friends and displays the results on a map. There is a similar App for Android in the google play store. Does this App work if some of my friends are on iPhone and others are on Android? If not does anyone know of an App which will work on both iPhone and Android? Note that I am not concerned about the VoiceOver accessibility of the App as it will be used by my sighted wife.

Finding headings using the Chrome browser
Hello, I am trying to use the Google Chrome browser with ChromeVoxc disabled. I want to do this because both the Chrome and Lightning browsers work with web pages which Safari does not work with. Chrome works fine except that the normal VO commands to locate the next and prior heading and the next and prior edit box do not work. I then tried using the equivalent ChromeVox commands which do not work either. However if I activate ChromeVox then the ChromeVox commands then work fine. Is there any way to skip through headings using the Chrome browser with ChromeVox inactive? My other option is to use Lightning which works well on all the web sites I have tried it with, including several where Safari does not work. the only drawback with Lightning is that it does not work with 1 Password - there appears to be no 1 password extension for Lightning. Does anyone know differently ?

Chrome browser
Hello, Is it possible to use the google Chrome browser using normal VO commands without also using the Chromebox screen reader? If so that would avoid having to learn a whole set of new commands.

You can download it free from http://tom-tech.com/iplayer_automator/iPlayer_Automator/Get_iPlayer_Automator.html. Copy the ‘Get iPlayer Automator.app’ from your download folder to your application folder and open it. Wait a few seconds and you will be invited to upgrade to the latest level which at the time of writing is 1.5.3 (536). You now need to change a few of the default preferences. Open the preference pane for Get iPlayer Automator and go to the general tab. If you live in the UK you must set the Proxy option to None. The default is Provided which should work if you live outside the UK but I have no way to test this. If you want to download BBC radio programs as well as TV programs ensure that BBC Radio and BBC Podcasts options are checked in the Items to Cache group. These are not checked by default. Also ensure that the Download Audio Described and Signed Versions option is checked. This is checked by default and will download the audio described version of a program if it is available. If no audio described version is available it will download the standard version. Now close the preference pane. To download a program first enter one or more words which might appear in the program title into the Search For Shows edit box and press the Enter key. After a few seconds look in the Search Results table for the desired show(s) and select them. Now press the Add To Queue button to add the desired show(s) to the download queue. Then check that the desired show(s) really are in the download queue and if this queue contains any unwanted shows select them and press the - button to remove them. Now go to the Toolbar and press the Start button to start downloading the desired show(s). These will be saved in the Download Path specified in the preference pane which by default is set to the Movies/TV Shows folder in your user area. Downloaded TV programs will also appear in the TV Shows part of your iTunes library from where you can play the desired shows. Downloaded radio programs will appear in the Music part of your iTunes library and can be found by going to Artists and looking for BBC Radio. You can use the TVR feature of Get iPlayer Automator to automatically download the next available program of a nominated series the next time you start Get iPlayer Automator. To do this press the TVR button in the Toolbar. This brings up a panel enabling you to search for a show in a series of shows and then add that series to the TVR queue. The next time you start Get iPlayer Automator it will search for the next show for each entry in the TVR queue and if one is found it will add it to your download queue. Each time you start Get iPlayer Automator it refreshes its index of possible shows. If you have not used Get iPlayer Automator for a while this can take several minutes during which the Search For Shows edit box is dimmed.

Re: get iplayer automator (was Accessible Internet Browsers) For theMack and Voiceover withMountain Lion
Hi Judy, Are you saying that its the programs in the search results? To download a program in the search results you have to add it to the download queue so the fact that there are more programs in the search results than you want is not a problem. If you just search on a few words in the program title you would expect the search results to contain a lot of programs in addition to the ones you want. the more specific you make the search string the fewer programs will appear in the search results. All this is expected so I suspect I have misunderstood your concern.

Also ensure that the Download Audio Described and Signed Versions option is checked. This is checked by default and will download the audio described version of a program if it is available. If no audio described version is available it will download the standard version. Now close the preference pane. To download a program first enter one or more words which might appear in the program title into the Search For Shows edit box and press the Enter key. After a few seconds look in the Search Results table for the desired show(s) and select them. Now press the Add To Queue button to add the desired show(s) to the download queue. Then check that the desired show(s) really are in the download queue and if this queue contains any unwanted shows select them and press the - button to remove them. Now go to the Toolbar and press the Start button to start downloading the desired show(s). These will be saved in the Download Path specified in the preference pane which by default is set to the Movies/TV Shows folder in your user area. Downloaded TV programs will also appear in the TV Shows part of your iTunes library from where you can play the desired shows. Downloaded radio programs will appear in the Music part of your iTunes library and can be found by going to Artists and looking for BBC Radio. You can use the TVR feature of Get iPlayer Automator to automatically download the next available program of a nominated series the next time you start Get iPlayer Automator. To do this press the TVR button in the Toolbar. This brings up a panel enabling you to search for a show in a series of shows and then add that series to the TVR queue. The next time you start Get iPlayer Automator it will search for the next show for each entry in the TVR queue and if one is found it will add it to your download queue. Each time you start Get iPlayer Automator it refreshes its index of possible shows. If you have not used Get iPlayer Automator for a while this can take several minutes during which the Search For Shows edit box is dimmed. You then just need to be patent and wait for the Search For Shows edit box to become available.

Re: get iplayer automator (was Accessible Internet Browsers) For the Mack and Voiceover withMountain Lion
In my experience inside the UK the audio description sometimes works and sometimes does not work. I wonder if this is because the audio described version is sometimes (often?) available later than the standard version. If so that would mean that you got the standard version if you downloaded the show shortly after it was broadcast, but if you waited a few days then you might get the audio described version. Does that match anyone's experience? I will try and check this next time I download anything.

Re: Urgent Help Infovox has made voiceover Unusable.
Hello David, I recall having this problem in the past. I think I solved it by pressing Control+Command+Option with the arrow keys to change the speech characteristics. Normally you can press Control+Command+Option+Left-Arrow to cycle between intonation, volume, pitch, rate, and voice. When you reach Voice you can press Control+Command+Option+Down-Arrow to choose the voice and thus move away from the InfoVox voice. As you don't know which of the voice characteristics is the Voice I think I kept trying the LeftArrow option followed by DownArrow until the Voice changed. My memory may be faulty but that is what I think I did.

You can then move secret files onto this disk image and when finished eject the disk image. When you next open the disk image you enter the password which you defined when you created the disk image. When the disk image is not mounted its contents are invisible. To open the disk utility press Command+Shift+A in finder to open the list of applications. Locate the utilities folder and therein you will see the disk utility. Open that program and look for new in the file menu. Use that to create a new disk image with the desired level of encryption. This disk image will have the file extension DMG and as far as finder is concerned is just another file. When you subsequently open the DMG file you will be prompted for the password which you specified when you originally created the disk image. If you then press Shift+Command+C in finder you will see the disk image which now looks like an external disk. YOu open that and can then see all your secret files. The disk image is just like a regular disk so you can organise your secret files into folders. I hope the above will get you started. If necessary get back to me and I can send you detailed step by step instructions. I use this technology to store lots of confidential files containing back account and credit card information and it all works fine.

Re: Emergency calls from iPhone
Hello Esther, Many thanks for the attached detailed reply. I have now installed the iEmergency+ App on my iPhone 3GS and can see how most of it works. However I am unclear about how to set up the wallpaper containing the emergency contact information which will be displayed on the locked screen. The create wallpaper function of the above App will let me enter the required text but I am unclear on what happens next. I am happy to go with the default wallpaper provided by the App. so presumably I just enter the desired contact information and then press the preview and save wallpaper button. What do I then have to do to get this wallpaper displayed on the locked screen? Is there any way that I can check the results without sighted assistance? Could I put the iPhone on my scanner and use OCR to check that the emergency contact information really is on the locked screen? Many thanks as always for your fantastic help. Best wishes Paul Hopewell On 15 Apr 2013, at 04:08, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Paul, There are generally two kinds of ICE (in case of emergency) functions -- the ones where you can quickly get access to emergency information, like having your medical information about your doctor, drug allergies, blood type, current medications, and any existing conditions in one place, and the ones where you can supply emergency contact numbers from your home screen that someone else can use if they find your iPhone, and either need to get in touch with you, or have a contact number in case you cannot use the phone (e.g., you're in an accident). As various people have said, there are facilities for calling 911 (in the US), or similar emergency contact number from your contacts. None of these methods or apps are designed to let anyone use your phone for any purpose if it is locked. Various ICE apps will put a contact phone number on the wallpaper of your lock screen. This only works if they can view your locked screen. In your case, someone sighted would either have to know about doing the three-finger triple tap to turn the screen curtain off, or do the triple-click home in order to be able to view the lock screen. For what it's worth, when this discussion came up some time ago, I got the temporarily free iEmergency+ app by Kavapoint LLC: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iemergency+-in-case-emergency/id317958642?mt=8 This app regularly lists for $0.99 and used to be among the top ranked ICE apps, if you read the AppAdvice app guides: http://appadvice.com/appguides/show/ice-apps The problem is, it hasn't been updated in some time, and there are particularly complaints that it, and its successor iEmergency ICE Family Pro app updated for iOS 6 and the iPhone 5, doesn't really support the sharper retinal graphics of the newest iPhones. (The original app may continue to work for your device, though -- I had it on my iPhone 4.) If you want to give this a try, you can download the free iEmergency Lite version. I think it may have ads, and lack the option to add as much detailed medical information and contacts in one place for your own use. Also, you may have to choose a photo from your camera roll to use as wallpaper for the lock screen instead of just selecting the default image that came with the iEmergency+ app. In a pinch, you could just screen capture your blank Notes screen. You could even create your own ICE wallpaper for the lock screen by typing in the information you want displayed into a notes app, doing a screen capture to camera roll by pressing the home and power button together, and then using that as your lock screen wallpaper. Make sure that your screen curtain is not turned on if you do a screen capture, and the display should not be set too dark -- maybe at least 30 per cent brightness level. Here are the App Store links to the two older Kavapoint LLC ICE apps that I know are accessible: • ICE iEmergency Lite (free) by Kavapoint LLC (I would try this free version first on your iPhone 3GS) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ice-iemergency-lite/id321411203?mt=8 • iEmergency+ (In Case of Emergency) ($0.99) by Kavapoint LLC (the app I got for my iPhone 4 when it was free for a short time) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iemergency+-in-case-emergency/id317958642?mt=8 On my version of the app, there 5 tabs at the bottom of the screen: My Info, Contacts, Medical, Wallpaper, and Help. The instructions are under the Help tab, but you really only need to use the Wallpaper tab to input the emergency number, a short message, and select a wallpaper (or in my case I just double tapped the Preview and Save button, which uses a default wallpaper that came with the app). Then you go to Settings, and select the wallpaper you saved to your camera roll to be your lock screen wallpaper. Everything else is meant to allow you
Emergency calls from iPhone
Hello, I use an iPhone 3GS running the latest IOS with VoiceOver. Being paranoid about security I have a PIN code to protect my iPhone contents. Is there any way (maybe an app?) which would enable someone who does not know my PIN code to use my iPhone to call my home number or the emergency services in case of accident or in case they found my iPhone on the train or in a cafe. There is a button labeled emergency calls on the screen on which you enter the PIN code after turning on the iPhone. What does this button do? I don't want to try it in case it dials the emergency services (999 in the UK). As a further complication I have screen curtain on on my iPhone to save battery life. If the phone were to be found by a sighted person could they find the emergency calls button? If not is there any way I could set screen curtain off for the PIN entry screen and screen curtain on everywhere else? I heard somewhere that there is an ICE (in case of emergency) facility in the iPhone contacts app. Does anyone know what this does? Many thanks for any tips.

Apple mail notifications
Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.8.3 using VoiceOver. While doing normal work I keep getting spoken notifications about new Email messages being received. This is somewhat annoying but worse some of the mail I am notified about never appears in my INBOX. Is there any way that I can disable these notifications and thereby ensure that I actually receive all incoming Email? I have looked at notification preferences and mail preferences and cannot see anything obvious. I do have growl and cocktail installed and it is possible that I might have done something using these to cause the above notifications. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Calendar problem
Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.8.3. I am using the Apple calendar and have quite a few repeated entries for say a meeting every 2nd Friday. Sometimes these meetings get canceled so I delete the corresponding calendar entries choosing the option to delete only this event rather than delete all future events. that deletes the entry from my online calendar but to my surprise I still get the Email notifications that the event is imminent for the deleted events.

Re: iBook seems to skip lots of text

Specifically, could this be a book that was created elsewhere, and where you used the open in feature to open this in IBooks. Alternatively, could this have large amounts of embedded graphics? I haven't experienced the problems you describe. There are some multimedia books in the iBooks store where navigation can be odd. The only places where I've generally found additional material that might not be read automatically with the two finger swipe down are in the new interactive eBooks that are distributed for iPad only, and that require iOS 6 to run. For example, I found there is a free interactive eBook named User Guide to Prizmo 2 and its counterpart in French, Mode d'emploi pour Prizmo 2 by Sandrine Loiseau. I'm reading these with the iOad in landscape mode, and there are two pages on either side. If I start a two finger swipe down from the beginning of a section, VO reads the included text, but if I touch the left side of the page, just under the section header, I'll access an In a nutshell summary of the key chapter points. Also, if I double tap the table of contents button, page thumbnails appear along the bottom of the screen. If I want to navigate with them, I have to tap to select one. Then I can use a three finger scroll left or right to move by chapter groups of thumbnails. Alternatively, I can flick right or left to the next thumbnail. Double tapping a thumbnail takes me to that page, and I'm finding that the first page in these chapters reads an overview, then stops with the bonk noise for not be ing able to navigate further. So I double tap the table of contents button to bring up the page thumbnails, touch the thumbnail in the bottom left corner to focus on it (VO announces something like thumbnail 17, first page in chapter), I flick right to page 18, and double tap. If I touch the top left of the page, just under the toolbar, I'll hear Section 1 Importing Documents. At this point if if do the two finger flick down, VO will read the section contents. But if I touch the left side of the screen below the heading, I'll hear the In a Nutshell summary points for this section. The experience is different in portrait mode. The text read continuously, including the summary before sections, and double tapping the table of contents brought a listing of the four chapters with an expand or collapse section outline button that would show/hide the subsection titles. Here you double tap the sections to go to those pages. I was finding the continuous reading less stable in this configuration mode, as though it were loading a larger block of content at a time, and sometimes not finishing with the update. The interactive iPad-and-iOS 6-only are the only iBooks for which I have seen this kind of behavior, though.

Re: SuperDuper weirdness
Hi Phil, I am not sure what you mean by fast bundle image files. I cannot find this in my SuperDuper!. I use Time Machine to backup on the same external disk drive as SuperDuper! and can then use SuperDuper! smart update function to speed up backup and restore. If I look at the external disk I see a folder titled backups and in that folder I see a whole lot of time machine backups each with its date and time. If I expand a time machine backup I see Mac HD and if I expand that I see all my files. If I want to restore a single file for a specified date I simply open the backup for that date and then find the desired file and then copy it back to Mac HD.

Re: SuperDuper restore
Hi Phil, Yes that's all there is to it. I have recovered my iMac from SuperDuper! backups several times and it has always worked. I used Smart Update to create the backup which usually takes about 20 minutes. the recovery also takes about 20 minutes. It was nerve racking the first time I did it, but I am now confident that it will work. Before doing each backup I use the VO Utility to temporarily change the VO startup message to include the date of the backup so that I can identify the backup if I ever need to restore it. Good luck!

Re: when using email on an ipad with googlemail
Hi William, I have exactly this set up. I use Google Mail which is set to imap with only inbox stored on the server. I read mail on both my iPhone and my iMac. Using my iPhone I delete mail items which require no further action and these are also deleted from my iMac. If a mail item needs a complicated reply I leave it in the inbox on my iPhone so that it appears in the inbox on my iMac from where I can answer it. If I delete mail from my iMac it does not appear on my iPhone. Best wishes.

Re: playing bbc programmes on the mac
Hello Michael, Look at the free App get itplayer automator. I don't think it is in the App store so you will have to google it. YOu can use it anywhere in the world via a proxy site to download BBC radio and TV programs and I think also ITV and Channel 4. YOu enter words from the title of the desired program into a search box. this returns a list of al matching programs. YOu select the desired programs and add them to a download Queue. You then start the download. YOu can set a preference to say that you want audio described programs. It is very good and I use it all the time. best regards Paul Hopewell --- 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/.

Re: Internet radio on Mac OS?
Hi Gordon, Many thanks for your quick reply. I did not know that you could listen to Internet Radio via iTunes. How do you do that? Is this live radio or just podcasts? I don't want to listen to Internet Radio myself on my iMac as I have the ooTunes App on my iPhone which works fine and is more portable. However I am updating pages on technology on the RPFB web site and for completeness want to say something about Internet Radio on the Macintosh as opposed to IOS devices. I was rather hoping that there was a Mac OS version of ooTunes. Many thanks. Paul Hopewell On 11 Nov 2012, at 13:36, Gordon Smith gor...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Paul I think the problem with this now is that there are so many different Internet broadcasting standards, and so many networks are evolving their own players. I've never been particularly good at listening, I'm much happier in doing. But for a lot of radio you already have the App you need to listen, iTunes! Often, even if a station isn't directly in the iTunes directory, if you know the address of the station, you can add it yourself. I'm sure others will come back with other suggestions. Possibly VLC or something like that.

Apple mail question
Hello, I am on the latest release of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and use Apple mail to monitor 6 accounts - 2 gmail, 1 hotmail, and the others old fashioned pop. Some of the accounts are imap and the others are pop. This all works fine except that for some reason Apple Mail keeps claiming that I have 13 new items. None of my inboxes or my local folders have unread mail and so I cannot understand why Apple Mail thinks I have these 13 new items. It is a minor problem but I would like to track down the 13 new items and convert them into old items. Note that my Apple Mail has a long history with local folders and some of the inboxes being migrated from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion as new releases became available. Any ideas?

How to re-install a previously purchased iPhone app
Hello, I have asked this before but failed to adequately file the answer! I need to re-install an iPhone app previously purchased from the iTunes store. I recall there is a key combination which will allow one to override a dimmed Downloaded button and download the app again. Alas I cannot remember what that keyboard combination is. I will be sure to securely file the answer this time! Many thanks.

Re: Recovering from Voiceover problems
Hello David, Many thanks for your Email. I too find it too easy to accidentally mute VoiceOver by accidental touches of the magic track pad and so like you have it safely out of harms way. I did set up a hotkey to mute/unmute VoiceOver as you describe. However in my case VoiceOver seemed to have frozen and so did not respond to this hotkey. I wonder if the batteries in my magic trackpad expired while my iMac was in sleep mode and with VoiceOver accidentally muted the wake up procedure tried to connect to the track pad which with no VoiceOver speech caused things to freeze. Do you understand the difference between mute/unmute speech and mute/unmute VoiceOver? Best regards Paul Hopewell On 3 Sep 2012, at 12:44, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: I have found the Magic trackpad a nightmare for muting Voiceover with the slightest accidental touch. Listening to a David woodbridge podcast it seems that this is a problem other users also experience so this does not seem a problem confined to me. So I suspect that the Magic trrackpad is tripping you up here. I have taken 2 strategies for dealing with this. 1. Hiding my Magic tracpad in a place where I cannot touch it by accident. 2. Setting up a key toggle in Voiceover utility so that I can unmute Voiceover with right option A. As I find tapping away on the magic trackpad to get Voiceover unmuted a frustrating and unpredictable experience the second solution is the one I would recommend to avoid future difficulty. You need to go to keyboard commanders in Voiceover utility and browse the available Voiceover commands. Make sure you do not select mute and unmute sounds as this is completely different from muting and unmuting voiceover.

This is set up with a login password. I use an external hard disk for time Machine and SuperDuper! backups. I also use a magic trackpad. Recently I have had problems with VoiceOver hanging and my not being able to restart it without sighted help. On both occasions my iMac had gone to sleep and on waking up VoiceOver would no longer talk. So I had to power off and restart. VoiceOver would then work fine for entering my password at login time, and then other system startup such as a script announcing the software level would work fine. Alas though VoiceOver remained silent. My sighted wife then told me that the system displayed information that VoiceOver was active but with speech muted. VO + PF8 would not open the VoiceOver utility and Command+PF5 would not shutdown VoiceOver. So with sighted help I opened the voiceOver utility from the applications menu and unchecked the box in the speech section titled speech muted. Again we tried to stop and restart VoiceOver with Command+PF5 but with no joy. However a system shutdown and restart caused VoiceOver to work normally again. It is unclear how the speech muted check box became checked. It all seemed to happen while the iMac was in sleep mode. My question is how could I have recovered VoiceOver without sighted help? On a previous occasion when i had this problem and my wife was not available I recovered VoiceOver by booting from a month old SuperDuper! backup and then restoring that backup onto my iMac hard disk. that all took a long time and seemed a sledge hammer to crack a nut! Using the VoiceOver utility and the keyboard commander I have set up hotkeys to mute/unmute sound, mute/unmute speech, and mute/unmute VoiceOver. Alas these did not work when VoiceOver was hung with speech off. Also I am unclear about the difference between mute speech and mute VoiceOver and which, if either, relates to the speech muted check box in the VoiceOver utility. I would appreciate any thoughts on the above and in particular any thoughts on how to recover from a hung VoiceOver in a less drastic way than restoring a SuperDuper! backup. Many thanks.

Re: Command R start up options
Hi Phil, I only Have a single external disk drive which both time machine and SuperDuper! share. There is only a single partition on that external disk. In smart update mode SuperDuper! uses the time machine backup to minimise the SuperDuper! update activity. In my case SuperDuper! takes about one hour to do its smart update. I have a 320 GB hard disk in my iMac and I use a 1000 GB external hard disk for the time machine and SuperDuper! backups. If necessary I can boot my iMac from the external hard disk. The only snag is that you have to use the paid version of SuperDuper! to get the smart update function. However it is well worth the money. Hope that helps...

Re: audio book builder
Hi William, I use Audio Book Binder a lot to turn books from www.calibre.org into a more convenient format. Each Calibre book is a set of MP3 files with names like 007213-001.mp3, 007213-002.mp3, ... 007213-121.mp3. I select all these files and add them to the table in audio book binder. I then enter the book title and author. I then select all the entries in the table and go to the menu bar and select split file and then renumber chapters. that results in a single chapter for each of the above Calibre files each of which lasts for about 10 minutes. I then press make audio book. I finally open the new audio book in iTunes and sync with my iPod Nano G6. This all works fine and there seem to be no disadvantages with the above short chapters or the lack of a part 1 and part 2 as in audible books.

Re: Tables in PDF documents
Hello Esther and Sarah, Many thanks for your replies. I first tried the PDF Converter Free on the Mac ASpp store. that only allowed conversion to PPTX format (Office open presentation) which did not help. I then tried the free trial download of PDF Converter from the wondershare web site. That correctly displayed the table of my credit card transactions in all of DOC, RTF and HTML formats. It did not correctly display the bill header information about credit limit, minimum payment and so on but that does not matter as the following figures are all fairly obvious. The main thing is that it did display the transaction details. So success and many thanks. Paul Hopewell On 4 Aug 2012, at 06:17, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hello Paul, You might try one of Wondershare's products -- either PDF Converter for Mac or PDF Converter Pro -- in trial mode. This is a kind of hokey answer, and I wouldn't want to purchase the product ($59.99 or $79.99 for Pro) unless they made some accessibility fixes to their interface. The conversion seems robust. What worked for me was using their trial downloads, which are limited to converting 5 pages, to convert from PDF to Rich Text Format. By default the conversion seems to go to Word (.docx) format, and those seemed to come out as gibberish for me. HTML worked, and then I tried the conversion to .rtf, which is probably what you will want to use. Get one of the trial downloads of either PDF Converter for Mac or PDF Converter Pro from: http://www.wondershare.com/pdf-converter/mac/ If you use the web rotor set to links, and look for Free trial, you'll get two sets of matches to the free trial downloads for the standard and pro versions: the first set are the standard and pro version links at the bottom of a feature comparison table, and the second set are the summary descriptions for the products with pricing, trial and buy links at the bottom of the page, again for the standard and pro versions. (The pro version adds OCR capability). The program starts up with a Wondershare PDF Converter (Unregistered) window with a scroll area that will populate with your selected files. To run the program use the File menu on the menu bar to Add files with the Command-L shortcut. Your selections get loaded into the scroll area of the Wondershare PDF Converter (Unregistered) window, and there's an unlabeled button outside the scroll area that runs the conversion. However, you can use the shortcuts from the Convert menu of Command-R to run or Command-Shift-R to cancel instead doing a VO-Space on that unlabeled button to run the program. For each file there is an initial button that can be pressed to Preview the PDF, and then for the currently selected file there's a second button you can press to specify the conversion format and page range. However, you can bypass this by pressing Command-F to use the File Configuration shortcut from the File Menu to bring up the dialog box with the same information. This lets you specify page range (defaults to all, but you can customize by typing, for example 1,3,5-8 into the text box), and the format in the pop up menu (e.g. Rich Text Format). The check box for Apply to all lets you apply the format selection to all files you have loaded into the scroll area to date. Run the program with Command-R. Files with similar name but .rtf extension will be placed in the same directory as your selected file. If you choose HTML, then the converted file is always named index.html. This seems to work. There are paid versions in the Mac App Store, but if you only need to read your bills, you can just use the trial version, which limits you to 5 pages per document. I'll give you the App Store links: • PDF Converter http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-converter/id414200948?mt=12 • PDF Converter Pro http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-converter-pro/id422540826?mt=12 Sarah and others, the issue that Paul has hit is that the PDF versions of tables reads out of order: all the entries from column 1 then all the entries from column 2. Try printing a PDF version of a table you can read correctly on the web. When you use Preview or Skim the columns are read out of order. Using the New TextEdit Window from Selection service doesn't help: if you start from the HTML version, the TextEdit window will read the table in correct order, but if you start from the PDF version, the conversion in the TextEdit window will read the same way. I tried a few other converters that gave the same behavior. That's also why I tried converting to HTML, as well with this program. HTH.

Re: iPhone calendar question
Hi Sarah, The month calendar view does indeed work as you describe. However my problem is not what events are happening on 10 August but rather I have a dentist appointment sometime in mid August but cannot remember when. For this purpose the list view is ideal if it would start at a sensible date like today. I could use the search facility but entering dentist via the virtual keyboard is a bit tricky. I suppose I could request my iMac to automatically delete all events older than say 7 days (on Lion it was set to delete all events older than 30 days). However I cannot find this automatic delete option on Mountain Lion. Does anyone know where it is? It used to be under the advanced tab on Lion.

Re: mountain lion
Hello, Further to the attached I found that launching software update from the Apple menu on Mountain Lion gave me updates for Pages and Numbers which I had installed from the Mac App store some time ago on Lion. It did not give me updates for third party (non Apple) Apps previously installed from the Mac App store. So it looks like Software Update on MOUntain Lion will update all Apple software whether Mac OS or purchased from the App store. Best regards Paul Hopewell On 28 Jul 2012, at 15:36, Gordon Smith gor...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Josh It's important to understand the differences in behaviour with the App Store. So I will try to describe them here. If you launch the App Store using the App Store menu option from the Apple menu, then highlight the Updates radio button, you will receive third-party updates only. That is to say you won't receive any operating system related updates. If you launch the App Store using the Software Update item from the Apple menu, you will receive operating system updates only. Software Update has now been merged with the App Store. It is important to understand these behavioural differences, as they are crucial to future updates which you might receive. if you launch the App Store from the Apple menu and highlight the Purchases radio button, you will receive anything which you bought via the App Store, including full operating system downloads and third party applications. This behaviour is new to Mountain Lion, and it's how Apple intends it to work. So it is by design. As for VoiceOver repeating text, you may find that you have to reload the page several times, (Command+R), in order to finally see the results of software checks. I hope this was of some help.

Re: Mountain Lion App store question
Hi Esther, Pressing the dimmed Installed button does nothing. I did try the update option for the App store but that said that no updates were available. Am I correct in thinking that Lion let you re-install items previously purchased from the Mac Ap store? I could create a new App Store account as you suggest but that seems over the top. instead I have recovered a growl.app from my time machine backup and run that. It is growl 1.4 as desired but I don't think it has installed fully as the growl icon is not present in system preferences. Looking at the package contents for growl.app I found a launch growl.app which let me enter the growl preferences. This is all a bit of a hack but hopefully it will do the job. Best regards Paul Hopewell On 28 Jul 2012, at 21:19, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Paul, Does clicking on the dimmed button do anything? (Is it possible that the announcement of dimmed doesn't reflect true status?) What happens when you choose the Updates menu instead? I'd guess that if an app were purchased, but you somehow deleted it, the Purchased menu entry would be dimmed but if it were updated since it was deleted it would have an active button in the Updates menu. Since Growl had a version update just last month, this should work. Short of that, the only thing I can think of is to create another account that you associate with your iTunes ID for the Mac App Store. That should count as one of your iTunes account activations, but it should treat this as though you were starting up on a new computer -- everything should be downloadable. A bit weird if you have to move a downloaded app that way, though. This does bring up another potential issue about the Mac App Store: like the App Store for your iPhone, apps can come and go. I believe that the new version 4 of TextExpander won't be offered in the Mac App Store, because it doesn't meet the requirements for sandboxing. And I'm also wondering about differences between the version of DVDRemaster Pro sold through the Mac App Store and the ones that were purchased outside the App Store now that version 8 has arrived. It sounds as though Fairmount, the program that you need to deal with encryption (if you don't have the relevant bit of VLC already on your system), has been spun off to the people who make Mac DVDRipper Pro, so they're letting us get Mac DVDRipper Pro at a discounted price with a (paid) update to version 8 of DVDRemaster Pro (until July 31). But this must be different for the folks who bought this through the Mac App Store. HTH.

Re: another mail bug or feature
Hi Donald, yes it behaves for me the same as it does for you. It is annoying but I can live with it.

Re: Is there an easy way to examine the clipboard?
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. Thanks to David for the tip on the VO setting which will speak characters phonetically if you cursor over it and wait a bit. YOu can find that in the VO settings under verbosity and announcements.

Re: calender
HI Mark, I find that the week view is much better than the month view. When I used the month view and tabbed through the calendar items I found that some items were not announced especially for days on which there are multiple items. With the week view I can tab through all the items including items on days where there are multiple items and items from multiple calendars. I set the calendar preferences to display event dates and times so that these are spoken as I tab to each item.

Re: safari
Hello, Like Sarah I also find that restarting VO clears Safari problems like it being busy busy busy. It is annoying to have to do it but it nearly always works.

How to access USB memory stick on TP Link router
Hello, I have recently acquired a TP Link WR 1043 ND router. One of its functions is support for attaching a USB memory stick so that files on that stick can be accessed by any computer on my wireless network. I can access files on the above memory stick on my Windows XP by entering \\192.168.1.1 as the target in Internet Explorer. Alas this does not work on Safari on my iMac running the latest version of MAC OS 10.7.3 and the latest version of Safari. SO how can I access the above memory stick on my iMac? Many thanks.

Re: Deleting an iCal calendar
Hello Lovette, If you have a gmail account you can store your address book and your calendar on Google. This has the advantage that you can then access your Google calendar on a Windows computer and on an Android smart phone. Similarly you can access your Google address book on Windows computers and Android smart phone. In my case this enables my sighted wife to share my calendar and address book. You can set up iCal so that your iCal calendar is automatically synced wit your Google calendar and vice versa. My wife's Android smart phone is set up to automatically sync her address book and calendar with Google. I use iCal and Apple address book to manage all this. This means that all devices including my iPhone share the same data. Note that you need a low cost app to sync your Apple and Google address books. If this interests you please get back to me offline and I can tell you how to set it all up.

Re: Unable to download IOS 5.1 (now fixed)
Hello terry, I have finally got it to work by following Brian Jones suggestion to change the Domain Name Server (DNS) in my wireless router. It was previously set to the DNS automatically provided by my Internet Service Point which is talktalk. I changed it to the Google primary and secondary DNS of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and it now all works fine.

Re: Why does this web page not work on Mac
Hello, Thanks to Esther and Sarah for your comments on this problem. I have installed the lightening browser and will play with it. I have found that I can get to the login page using Google chrome as follows. I use the tab key to locate the login link and then press Enter. that brings up the login page. As I do have a user ID I was able to login. However that did not help me much as I could not then figure out how to add a post to the forum. There were lots of links to reply to existing posts but none of them did anything! Running Windows XP with WindowEyes under VMWare fusion I was able to activate a reply link but I could not then figure out how to create the reply. There were lots of edit related links to e.g. make text bold but no edit area in which to enter the text. The Gremlins are definitely against my desire to complain about this Android phone or to even find out which wireless routers it actually works with. I will now try an Email to Sony support team but will not hold my breath on getting a reply! It is my wife's Android phone. My iPhone is wonderful by comparison!

I just went to the Mac App Store, and while Lightning seems to get good ratings, the first review said: Given how fast Webkit-based browsers are, and the way this particular browser is set up for speed, it's no suprise that this is one fast little browser. I like it, and can see a place for it in my toolbox, but I often find that links on a page I navigate to are dead—you can't click on them. But that's the only real problem I've encountered with the program, so I hope the developer continues to work on getting the wrinkles out. When I need to fire up a browser for a quick search, or some fast research, I'd be apt to use this, rather than wait for Safari, or Firefox to load, and this will still be faster than either for many kinds of web browsing. Since Paul is hoping to use the links on his web page, it's a little disconcerting to read that the links are often dead using this browser. HTH.

Re: Need help with Amadeus Pro
Hello Eric, I have just finished listening to your excellent podcast on Amadeus Pro. that has given me some pointers but I would still appreciate your advice on the best way to do the following... I have recorded myself playing the piano and now want to remove errors from the recording. There are two types of error a) long pauses while I find the correct notes and b) short sections of playing the wrong notes followed by a replay of that section with the correct notes. To remove a section containing wrong notes I would like to be able to do something like the following: - Play the recording and use the p key to insert a marker immediately I hear an incorrect note and then insert another marker when I hear the correct note. I would then select the music between the above pair of markers. - A way to adjust the above selection so that it starts a little before the incorrect note and finishes a little before the correct note. Are there any shortcut keys which will extend the left hand side of a selection a little bit to the left and another shortcut to extend the right hand end of a selection a little bit to the left. Presumably these shortcuts would also move the corresponding markers. Without something like this it is very difficult to place a marker just before an incorrect note rather than on that incorrect note or just after that incorrect note. - A way to play the notes for several seconds before the above selection and for several seconds after the above selection so that I can determine if the selection is in the correct place before I delete it. From your podcast it seems that setting the preview period in Amadeus Pro preferences to say 10 seconds and then pressing the e key will achieve this. Is that correct? If I delete a selection between two markers are the markers also deleted or are they still present both now marking the same place i.e. just before the deleted section. I hope you can see what I am trying to achieve and many thanks for any tips on the best way to do this using VoiceOver.
