PDF annotation
Hi there I am wanting to be able to open a pdf file and read it with my connected braille display. However, I want to be able to highlight the document and make notes within it. On VIA, I found an app called Good Reader which was supposed to be accessible, but it is not. Can anybody recommend an app that will allow me to do this and is accessible with VO. I don't want to use Voice Dream reader because it won't allow me to physically read the document. I don't want to read it with speech. Thanks for any help with this.

RE: Logitech Bluetooth UE Boombox, I Eat My Words
Hi Dane I'm glad you like your UE Boombox. I have the same one, and love the quality. How do you switch between devices? I can't seem to work out how to pair more than one. Cheers Paula -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Tuesday, 18 March 2014 1:19 PM To: OS X iOS Accessibility Subject: Logitech Bluetooth UE Boombox, I Eat My Words Yes I eat my words, after my previous experience with a Logitech Boombox system I made it clear that I'd never ever purchase another Logitech Boombox again, that product had serious design flaws. I'm now in the possession of a Logitech UE Bluetooth Boombox and I have to admit that the sound out of this unit - given its small compact boombox size - is quite stunning. No, the UE Boombox isn't the standard of some of the other pieces of equipment I have here but nor should one expect this given the price tag associated with the unit. The Boombox can handle up to 8 pieces of equipment paired at the same time, you might for instance take the UE Boombox to a party where you and your friends can take it in terns to play their favorite tracks. Build quality of the UE Boombox isn't lacking in any department, just damn good quality throughout with a nice metal grill all around for the speakers and a steel handle on the top. UE by the way stands for Ultimate Ears, you may have heard of the Ultimate Ears brand of headphones. In 2008 Logitech acquired the Ultimate Ears company and have since used the branding on many Logitech products, the Ultimate Ears Radio for example. An Ultimate Ears Logitech Air Speaker is also available which is supposed to sound even better than the Boombox described here. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane --- 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: Recording conference calls on my Iphone

In all honesty I have found nothing beats the method I currently use for recording calls. I was actually doing this this morning with my sister for a family project. All I do is make my call on an iPhone. I then move the phone away from my ear and place the phone down so that it is on speakerphone. I then lay my Pocket Plextalk recorder next to my iPhone and record the conversation I am having over the speakerphone. The result is a high quality clear recording. During my PhD I spent a lot of money trying masses of software and hardware based techniques before I hit upon this simple solution. I bought gizmos to tap into the phone line, I bought special ear based microphones, I even employed a telephone engineer to set up a bespoke system. All of these solutions were beset with problems of interference, poor sound quality, buzzing etc. As I say nothing in the end beat the clarity and comprehension of a recording from a high quality Dictaphone placed next to a high quality speaker phone. There is no buzz, interference, drop outs etc. Sometimes simplest is best.

RE: Accessing a personal hot sopt
Hi there Firsty, on your phone, you need to go into settings and into wifi. While the phone is unlocked, on your Mac computer pres VO with M twice.

RE: help with adding music to my iPhone through iTunes
Hi Margaret I haven't added music to my phone using ITunes for a while, but when I did, I found it best to create a playlist and add all of the things that I wanted on my phone to that playlist, then copy the playlist to the phone. As I said, it's been ages since I've done it this way, so can't actually remember how to copy a playlist to the phone. Hoping somebody else could help out here.

First, I'll give you the instructions for creating a numbered list, which is one of the topics covered in the user guide under the chapter on Creating Documents under Writing and Editing on the subject of Creating Lists (page 41). First of all, I prefer to work in Draft View mode when composing documents. This gives you access to all pages in your document at once in the edit area, while the default document mode you'll have when you start up Nisus Writer Pro from a new installation will be Page View, where you edit one page at a time. If you have added headers and footers to the page that you want to check, you may want to switch to Page View mode to view these, or to view your document page by page. You can change this from the View menu on your Nisus Writer Pro menu bar, just as you can select a list format from the Format menu on the menu bar. However, in practice, any item that you access frequently, including the view options and list formatting options, will be found on your application's toolbar, and it will be simplest to navigate to the toolbar options to make these changes. Use the Mac keyboard shortcut of Control-F5 to move to and from the toolbar of the application. For example, if you want to change your document view to Draft View, press Control-F5. The first elements in the toolbar will be 3 radio buttons that let you choose between Draft View, Page View, and Style Sheet, with your default set to the second radio button.You can navigate to the first radio button and press it (VO-Space) to change to Draft View. To create a numbered list continue to navigate through the toolbar to the List button and click with VO-Shift-Space to bring up the menu options, then arrow down to Number List and either press Return or VO-Space to exit the menu and get returned to the text area. If you are going to be working extensively in the application and frequently returning to specific controls, you might set a hotspot for a specific control in the toolbar. You will also be able to change the list format to Letter List and increase or decrease the list level from the List button in the toolbar. A better way to ensure that new documents that you create open in draft view mode by default is to set this up in your Nisus Writer Pro preferences. Press Command+comma to bring up the preferences menu. Control-F5 to move to the preferences toolbar and navigate to the New File button and press it (VO-Space). On the New File pane, navigate to the View tab and press (VO-Space) to select it. On the View tab, navigate to the pop up menu button for View and change it from Page View to Draft View. You can also change the units used by the ruler from the pop up menu default of Centimeters to Inches, or your preferred units. Press Command-W to close your preferences window when done. To download the PDF user guide, go to the Nisus Writer Pro web page: http://www.nisus.com/pro/ Use item chooser menu (VO-I) to look for the Download PDF User Guide link on the page, then VO-Space on the link to download the guide. Same instructions apply for getting the Nisus Writer Express user guide, except the web page is: http://nisus.com/Express/ The Pro guide file you download will be named NWP-help.zip, and will show up in your Safari downloads window if you press Command-Option-l to bring up your downloads window. Navigate to the downloaded file and interact. This will be a group with 4 elements. Then navigate to the icon and VO-Space to open and expand the zipped file. If I switch applications to Finder with Command-tab, the file Nisus Writer Pro 2.0 User Guide.pdf will be highlighted. You can read the PDF file in Preview or Skim, if you prefer to get this free app from: http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/ HTH.

RE: DigitEyes and IPhone 4s
Hi Esther Thanks so much for the tips. I will grab that free app and give it a go. Maybe using both of them, I'll be able to get it to work. If not, I guess I shall contact the developer and tell them it's not particularly usable. Cheers Paula -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Friday, 5 April 2013 4:51 AM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: DigitEyes and IPhone 4s Hi Paula, Have you used barcode scanning apps before? The DigitEyes web site does have lots of good tips, but the main problem is locating the barcode. I know of some users who were learning to use DigitEyes, first used the free RedLaser barcode scanner app to locate the barcode. That app is very fast, and is easier to use to locate a barcode. The problem for international users is that it's mainly set up to identify products in the U.S., and won't get you access to the databases that DigitEyes has -- for example, for products in Australia. But if you're starting to learn to use DigitEyes, and want to train yourself on how far away to hold the product, how to move around to locate the barcode on the label, etc, it certainly helps to know where the barcode is! There are also lots of tips and suggestions on the DigitEyes web site on how to scan. Also, some places may sell these organizer storage racks that are designed to hold a number of standard sized cans, laid on their sides, in your cupboard shelves. This can make it easier to rotate the can under your iPhone camera while you locate the barcode that is generally near the seam. Because the cans are exactly sized to fit together on their side in the rack, you can slowly adjust the section of a can that faces your iPhone camera without having the can roll all over the counter.

Airport Express
Hi there My IPod doc broke, and I want to use my IPod and IPhone as a way of using airplay through my stereo. I have an awesome sound system, and getting another docking system wouldn't suit me. I did some research, and discovered that the Airport Express seemed to be the way to go in order for this to happen. I am really struggling to set it up. I want the airport express to extend my Netgear wireless router setup that I already have. The wireless router is at least 3 years old, this is probably an underestimation. I had a look on the net, and the discussions seemed to say that you need to enter in the settings of the existing wireless router which are as follows: Security type: WPA personal Encryption type: TKIP I entered these settings into the Airport express settings, but I can't get it to connect to my Netgear router. I was under the impression that I could connect the device to the power source and to the stereo headphone jack, I'd be taken to a web site and I needed to enter in a password. I suspect I am missing a step. Do I need to temporarily connect the Airport Express to my modem and disconnect the netgear router? Do I need to connect the Airport Express to a computer using an ethane cable? Can I set up the Airport Express using the IOS app? Once set up, can I disconnect the Airport Express from the modem and reconnect the Netgear modem, then move the Airport express into the other room where the entertainment system is? Will I need to get a second Airport express, ditch the Netgear modem, and use one Airport Express to extend the network of the other? My apologies for the complication of this message. I hope I am clear in what I am asking and what I have already done. Thanks for any help anybody can give me.

RE: Social Networking
Hi Lynne How are you? I use the native Facebook application on my IOS devices. I find it works quite well except that you now don't seem to be able to tag people in posts. You can create a FB account from the app itself, I used the web site to create mine though, so don't know how accessible the app is for creating accounts. In terms of twitter, I use Tweetlist on my IOS devices, and Night Owl on my mac computers. In tweetlist, you can do extended tweets. I hope this helps.

RE: Pairing MacBook Air with IPhone 4S
Thanks Ester, your help is greatly appreciated. Take care Paula -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Thursday, 1 November 2012 4:12 AM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Pairing MacBook Air with IPhone 4S Hi Paula, I think that Chris means the third-party apps Type2Phone and iKeyboard can let you use your Mac as a Bluetooth keyboard for inputting text on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. (I don't think there's an app named Mac2Phone.) And actually Type2Phone should also allow you to control/navigate your iOS device as well as copy text from Mac to iPhone, provided you turn VoiceOver off on your Mac, but I've found it a little less stable for this. And the last time I checked, iKeyboard had support for more different input language keyboards, though both will support other languages besides English. Here are the URLs at the Mac app store: Type2Phone by Houdah Software $4.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/type2phone/id472717129?mt=12 IKeyboard by Invictus Security $9.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ikeyboard/id441439411?mt=12 There are also discussions of these apps in the list archives, starting from December of last year. Here's a link to a post replying to a query about using the Mac as a Bluetooth keyboard for iOS devices, for example: Re: Using Mac as Bluetooth keyboard http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg08125.html HTH. Cheers, Esther On Oct 30, 2012, at 10:35 PM, Chris christopher...@gmail.com wrote: This can be done via a couple of third party Mac Apps which can be bought from the Mac App store. 1. Mac2phone. 2. iKeyboard. I prefer the latter as it allows you to fully control an iOS device. It literally emulates a bluetooth hardware keyboard. The former I believe only allows you to type the text which can then be copied or pasted or directly send as an SMS.

Free texting app
Hi there I was wondering if anybody in Australia has had experience with the application for the Mac called Free Texting. I downloaded it and can't get it to send text messages. Can anybody recommend a free texting app that does actually work. I'm looking for something that uses the net to send messages rather than charging me a minimal amount to send texts as I have unlimited calls and texts on my phone. It's just that typing the message is easier than sending them from my phone. Thanks for any help.

If your PDF documents are just text and not encrypted, you can have preview work very effectively for you. However, you might be better off using Skim. Skim does offer some degrees of control which Preview and VoiceOver do not. For your reference, you can find Skin at the Skim download page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/skim-app/files/Skim/Skim-1.3.22/Skim-1.3.22 .dmg/download Again, this is extensively covered in the list archives.

Updating my IToys
Hi there I think my subject line gives an indication of what this is about. I am updating my IToys (as I like to call them). I am getting the new IPad today, and wanted to know if people have any tips for maximising it's efficiency. Any good apps for example? I have ordered a Bluetooth keyboard whis on its way to me. Any help is greatfully accepted and valued.

RE: Messages under ML
I haven't duplicated the bug, but I am wondering if it is a bug with messages. The only reason I say this is that whenever I send a message to somebody, in my message log, it says that the message I sent was sent from my cousin's name. A bit strange that it would do that, but I'm living with it because I figure it's not giving that information to the recipient. Cheers Paula -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of christopher hallsworth Sent: Friday, 31 August 2012 6:11 AM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Messages under ML Good evening all. I think I found a bug in Messages under ML. Please can you duplicate? I have added my Facebook account to the Messages aapp using the Jabba protocol. Everything works great overall, no problem! However now and again it will log me out, for no reason at all! Lol! And get this right? I can't even log back in unless I log out of my system account and log back in again. Then I have to click the offline selection popup button, choose available from the menu, and all is well again until the next time. Is this a bug with Messages under ML, or a problem with Facebook Chat? The reason I am mentioning this is I know for a few days now Facebook chat has been a little unstable. In fact, they went down over the weekend. Also, if it is a bug with Messages, then we should let Apple Accessibility know. Thanks so much if you can duplicate the above. This will be greatly appreciated. Chris.

Mouse keys
Hi there I just read Esther's post on changing tabs in Java preferences that she wrote to Gordon. In it, it mentions mouse keys. How do I move the mouse pointer with VO? I'm thinking this might be easier than moving my finger around the track pad to find the security tab because I seem to struggle to find anything when I move my finger around the track pad. Thanks for any help with this.

RE: Mouse keys
Ah, I get it now. Thanks Esther *smile* -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Tuesday, 24 July 2012 9:09 AM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Mouse keys Hi Paula and Others, Did my earlier post not show up on the list? It was: Moving your cursor with Mouse Keys as an accessibility work around for Java Preferences [was Re: changing tab group in java preferences using Voiceover] Here's the link to the Web Archive page that contains the post: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg11288.html The quick description is that you go to System Preferences Universal Access Mouse Trackpad tab and check the box that lets you press the option key five times to turn Mouse Keys on and off. Then you navigate to the Java Preferences heading in the title bar of that application. You press your option key 5 times to turn Mouse Keys on, and use the right hand side of your keyboard to move by pixels, up, down, left, right or diagonally. The central position is the i key, which was the number 5 key when Mac laptops supported embedded numpads. It's easy to remember, because the 7 8 9 keys on the number key row are the 7 8 9 keys on that keypad, so the key below the 8 key is your central 5 key -- the i key. In Mouse Keys mode, each press of the key to the right, left, up, down, or diagonally from the i key moves your mouse cursor one screen pixel in that direction. It just takes a lot of key presses! So you start from the Java Preferences heading in the title bar, route your mouse cursor there with VO-Command-F5, and then turn Mouse Keys on. You then move down by tapping the k key until you hear Network radio button announced -- or whatever the name of the tab key is. That signifies that your cursor is on top of the tab. To click it, press your i key. To move left to the Security tab, you start pressing the u key until you hear Security radio button. Again, you click the tab by pressing your i key. It's about 35 presses down and 10 presses left to get to the Security tab. To exit Mouse Keys, press the Option key 5 times again. This only works with the VoiceOver announcements if you have previously set up your Verbosity Announcements tab in VoiceOver Utility to speak what is under the mouse after a delay by checking that box, and setting your delay time to 0 seconds. You'll notice that the accessibility bug is present in the VoiceOver announcements with Mouse Keys, too. You get an announcement that you've moved into whatever is the currently selected tab, even though you haven't actually reached the tab area. My post has more details about using Mouse Keys in general. The main thing for desktop mac users or anyone who uses a full-size keyboard with numpad is that you should not have both NumPad Commander and Mouse Keys turned on at the same time, since the keypad definitions will conflict. On a full-size keyboard you use the actual numeric keypad, and press the 2 key to move down, the 8 key to move up, the 4 key to move left, and the 6 key to move right. And you click with the 5 key. Maybe one of these combinations will simply not work now, but the first time I tried this and had Numpad Commander on, the Command, Control, and Option keys for VoiceOver stopped working until I turned Mouse Keys off. And Josh, on a Mac the right click of a mouse button is a Control-Click. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Jul 23, 2012, at 12:28 PM, josh gregory wrote: This would be neat in general!

RE: Java Preferences bug
Hi to all of the developers Also, the other issue with Java Preferences in utilities is that once you manage to navigate to the desired tab, it won't read the information in that tab. It just says empty table when in fact there is information in the table. For example, I have to use the mouse pointer to get to the certificate I need to delete.

It's an issue because college students who are using Blackboard are likely going to have to navigate those menus to fix certificate authentication. There's no way to change tabs with VoiceOver. A year ago, when I had to do some Java update, I couldn't navigate to the controls in the table, and reported this to Apple. (At least the table was on the default tab that came up, the General tab.) Only your currently selected tab shows up in the item chooser or other windows. And it behaves as though somehow the selected tab is showing up as the entire group of tabs. I don't work with Blackboard, so I can't check the actual issues that arise with certificates, etc. I only tried out Blackboard over 6 years ago, when the accessibility was poor, and I had lots of busy signals.

RE: changing tab group in java preferences using Voiceover
Hi Esther Thanks so much for your instructions. I was able to delete the files it said to delete. Lets hope I can actually get ELive to work again now. Thanks again Paula -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Sunday, 22 July 2012 3:13 PM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: changing tab group in java preferences using Voiceover Hi Paula, Hang on there. I now remember that there are some accessibility issues in navigating Java Preferences. I reported this to Apple the last time I had to look here. You're going to have to use your trackpad to move to the radio button for network and click it. Set up VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8) so you get announcements of what's under the mouse by going to Verbosity (Command-2), then navigate to the Announcements tab and select it with VO-Space. Navigate to the check box for Speak text under mouse after delay and check it (VO-Space). Then Right arrow (with Quick Nav on) or VO-Right arrow to the slider for the delay time, interact, and set it to the minimum (0 seconds). You can close the VoiceOver Utility window with Command-W after that. In Java preferences, navigate to the Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications check box and then route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor (VO-Command-F5). I'm assuming that you don't have your cursors tracking. Now move your hand vertically down from the right side of the keyboard so that your fingers rest on the middle of the flat section of the laptop below the arrow keys, and then move left to the right edge of your TrackPad. When you touch the edge of the TrackPad you want to use that as a guide to move your finger vertically up the TrackPad. When you hear Network, radio button click down on your TrackPad. Once you're actually in the Network tab you can navigate through the elements. We used the verbosity settings so that VoiceOver would tell you when the radio button for the Network tab was under your mouse, even when we couldn't navigate there with the VoiceOver keyboard shortcuts.

RE: technical help
Hi Gordon I'm not really sure, because when I updated, it just said it was installing six items. I didn't get told which ones, nor did I get a choice as to which to install and which not to install. I ended up being able to fix the problem, I had to go into security in java preferences and remove the certificate for ELive. It seemed to work after that.

I am trying to follow the instructions to clear out stored certificates, but can't move away from the general tab in java preferences. Could you please give me any tips on how to do this? Any help is greatfully appreciated. Thanks in advance Paula -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Sunday, 22 July 2012 2:34 PM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Blackboard Java authentication problems after updates [was Re:technical help] Hi Paula, You probably need someone who is actually running Blackboard currently to help troubleshoot this, but I did a web search and found this support page titled, Troubleshooting Blackboard Java Issues: https://elearn.usu.edu/java/java_tutorial.html From the section of the error message you give, I'd guess that your application is no longer certified. That's the part about Unsigned application requesting unrestricted access to system and signed resource. While it's common that problems may occur if you don't have the latest version of java installed, currently, I believe that you should have this in place from running software update, and it's quite unlikely that you need to go back to an older version. (Also, on the Mac you don't need to delete older versions of the Java). I suspect that the relevant portion of the troubleshooting page is the section on Troubleshoot Java Security Settings: begin quote If Java is installed but you are still having problems with Java functionality in Blackboard, there might be a problem with the Java security certificate settings on your computer. Here are two things to look for: . The application digital signature has not been allowed to run. . The certificate information stored on the comptuer does not match the current certificate. Please see the following link for more details. end quote I've pasted in the link for Troubleshooting Java certificate problems in Blackboard below: https://elearn.usu.edu/java/clearing-certificates.html I'd try to go back to java preferences and undo any of the attempts you made to point to an earlier version of java, then go through the two steps of trying to run the certificate again, and check the security tab of java preferences to clear out your current stored certificates so they can be renewed. If you feel nervous doing that, you could wait to see whether someone else who has current experience both in using Blackboard and in java can respond to your questions. HTH.

You'll see two or three of these pages/edit fields on screen at once and must use the vertical scrolling gestures to scroll through the pages. So, when you move to the top/bottom of an edit field, or select all text in an edit field, you aren't moving to the top/bottom of or selecting the entire document but rather manipulating the current page. Thus, if you wanted to make some formatting change that applied to, say, a couple of pages, you'd have to select relevant text from the first edit field in question, apply the formatting change, select text in the next relevant edit field, apply formatting change, and so on. You can accessibly change the font used. After you select text using typical VO selection commands, activate the Info button located in the upper right-hand portion of the screen. The safest way to find this without losing your selection is to approach the status bar from the top and locate the time, then slide your finger down to Info and tap with a second finger to activate it. Then go straight to the bottom portion of the screen without touching anything in between, and you'll find the Text Options pane. You'll see formatting items; activate the icon labeled with the current point/font info, then activate the icon called Font, CurrentFontName, (where CurrentFontName is the actual font name of course) and pick a different font. The buttons to apply effects such as Bold, Italic, Underline, etc. also work. You can also change the point size by flicking up or down. Once done making those changes, you can return to the text by sliding a finger up the left-hand side of the screen. Documents are saved automatically as you compose them, so you never save them manually. Emailing works fine; from upper-right portion of screen, select Tools Share and Print Email Document button corresponding to file format you wish the attachment to be in, then a regular Mail window opens for you to fill in relevant details. Renaming documents is tricky but can be done. If you add a new document and select the blank document template in order to add a blank document, its name will just be blank, and the next blank document you create would be called blank1, etc. Here's how to rename a Pages document on your iPhone. Warning: you need a steady hand. You have to select Documents, then in the list of documents, place one finger on the one you wish to rename, toggle VoiceOver off, double-tap with that one finger, then toggle VoiceOver back on again. You'll be in an edit field which is the file name. Type the new name, then tap Done. You can't accessibly sort documents in to folders. --- 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/.

There was a recent post on another list on this subject: begin quote I really like Ariadne and use it everyday to make sure I don't miss my bus stop. The bus rout has a very long straight section with minimal clues along the way to tell me where on the route I am. Ariadne is perfect in this situation, i pull it out when I know I am getting close and the app will have the POI which I set near my bus stop on the front screen of the app. All I need to do is put VO focus on the distance and Ariadne will count down the distance to the bus stop for me. It will also play an alarm when I am a certain distance from the stop. end quote HTH.

RE: Received my iPod Touch, initial impressions
Hi there I'm glad you got your IPod touch. All these people getting new toys makes me want 1 :) lol Take care Paula -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Wednesday, 14 March 2012 11:46 AM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Received my iPod Touch, initial impressions Hi everyone! Subject line says everything, I've now been using my iPod Touch for over 2 hours, its currently streaming music to my JBL Onbeat Air Airplay compatible speaker system in the kitchen smile. The Touch is all one could want in my view if one already has a phone which suits their needs. I'd advise against using the external speaker if at all possible, audio is okay and certainly better than that found in previous generations of iPod touch but volume could be a problem if you're hard at hearing so I opted to use the supplied earbuds when setting up the machine. Setup was a breeze and so was updating the IOS, no problems whatever. In looks the iPod Touch looks more like an iPhone 3GS though quite a bit thinner. Still to load the Touch up with my favourite apps, thank goodness for iCloud smile. Not sure I like the headphones socket on the bottom of the device, I guess its put there for uniformity between different iPod models? Would have preferred it at the top and perhaps a bigger internal speaker in its place at the bottom. Volume of sounds at present is rather low and feedback from iPod touch and Voiceover doesn't seem to be as good as that found on the iPhone, by feedback I'm referring to feedback with sounds otherwise what you hear with Voiceover on an iPhone is exactly what you'll be hearing on an iPod Touch. Its also possible that I may need to do some tweaking of the sound settings to get more out of the device. --- 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/.

I'm replying to you privately as this thread will probably stray off topic for the list a little smile. The first thing you need to be able to use Pandora is a VPN or Virtual Private Network, there are several services around which provide these including Hotspot Shield at http://www.hotspotshield.com the Mac client is accessible and there's a free version available though I would suggest that you get the paid version as its not restricted, has no advertising etc. Once you're behind the shield networks in the U.S. are fooled into thinking you're in the States rather than from Australia thus you can access a whole heap of material you normally wouldn't be able to otherwise from Australia if you were using your standard Internet. I'm from Australia myself and I use a VPN here though my system is a little more complex than what I've outlined, I won't go into it here unless you're particularly interested. Now the next thing and this is of particular concern if you plan to use Pandora, as I understand it the web interface isn't particularly accessible thus you need a Pandora client or player, I have tested one for Windows called Hope, its $10.00 to buy and is very nice, as yet I haven't tested a Pandora client for Mac but they're out there, at least 2 of them.
