Re: [Mac-access]: VM access
Hi Doug: I’m running a MacBook Pro with VMWare Fusion and Windows 7 64-bit with very few problems. When I first bring up the Windows side, I notice that both booting up and running programs, the first time things are a little slow, but then things get faster. I’ve got both JAWS and Window-Eyes and as I said, don’t have a lot of trouble. The biggest issue I’ve had with running with a VM is mapping keys. I use SharpKeys for that and find it very accessible. Hope that helps, Ray Campbell ray153...@gmail.com On Apr 20, 2015, at 7:19 PM, Douglas Rudolph wrote: > Hey guys.

Accessing Nitrous.io Development Environment
Hi All: As I indicated a week or so ago, I’m taking a software projects class where I’m needing to access Ruby on Rails development. Well, here’s another question. My project team wants to use Nitrous.io, a cloud-based development environment to house our code. Nitrous has a desktop environment which doesn’t appear to be accessible via VoiceOver or via either JAWS or Window-Eyes on Windows. I can’t access sign-on controls or buttons to do things with the desktop environment. I want to know if anyone has any ideas on how to access the nitrous environment in order that I can work with our code on Nitrous? I’ve generated an SSH key and can use SSH to get into our Nitrous box. However, once there, I’m not sure what I can do to edit pieces of code. Any ideas would be appreciated. I can access command line things which will be important.

RE: IOS 7, probably the most buggy I've ever seen yet!
Hi Chris: Two other things I've noticed since updating to IOS 7.1.1. First, I should tell you my wife's iPhone 5 didn't update properly and we had to connect it to iTunes and do a restore/update to 7.1.1. She lost several contacts as a result of it. Onto the two bugs. First, on my wife's phone when she sends a text message using the dictate feature, the VoiceOver volume goes down. She has a mild to moderate hearing loss and this can be problematic. The only way she's gotten the VoiceOver volume to come back up to where she had it is to make a phone call. Second, on both of our phones, we've notice when playing the DiceWorld app games while using headphones, we don't hear the game's sounds.

OK, I've been using I O S since I O S 3.X if that tells you anything. 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. Never have I shamed it like some techy snobs do who feel like it's too locked down, get Android, Ajpple wants to cheat people, yoddie yodda. I'm sorry. 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 settings>sound 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 dis 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. T
RE: Apple's Xcode tutorial
Hi: There's also a textbook, "Beginning IOS Development" available on Kindle through the Kindle app that is pretty good. I just completed a mobile app development class and as my time allows, I want to get more into the Apple Development and see if I can develop a few things. Laurel, the thing I found totally unusable was the iPhone Simulator on XCode. When you test your apps on XCode, a simulator comes up where a developer can test out the app functionality and see if things work. I couldn't use that with VoiceOver. So, I had to get myself over the fear of putting test software on my iPhone to test things.

Heres an offer for you: if you want to take a look on sites like: www.oreilly.com www.informit.com www.apress.com www.bookshare.org you might find books you find interesting. The first thing Id do is start by learning the Objective C language. All cocoa apps are built on this, and a knowledge will help you. Anyway back to my offer: If you find books that you think might be of use, either post here or contact me offlist and Ill happily take a look for you and tell you what I think. Ive not done app development, but Ive written utilities for mac. Im a university academic who teaches programming (among other things) so Ive needed to know the basics. App/application development is my study gig for the next few months as I suspect I may get a course in mobile development to teach next year. Definitely look at MV-Dev. Its a nice community and nobody gets flamed for asking anything. Hope these ramblings help, Dónal On 9 Jan 2014, at 18:37, Laurel and Stockard wrote: > Thanks, I applied to join the group.

Once I received a private reply suggesting that I join the MV-DEV group. Until recently, that sadly was a dead list, and I assumed that StoryBoards and InterfaceBuilder were pretty much unusable with VO. Recently, the MV-DEV list has come back to life, and apparently there are blind developers who are successfully exploiting these xCode features. I have a lot to learn before I get out of lurking mode over there, but the one time I tried the tutorial I was totally lost and became discouraged before discovering a work-around. >> >> Anyway, the link for the MV-DEV list is: >> >> http://groups.google.com/group/mv-dev >> >> From recent activity, I would think you'll have much better luck if you repost over there, and I will definitely follow the thread!! >> >> Best regards. >> Geoff >> >> >> - Original Message - From: "Laurel and Stockard" >> To: "OS X & iOS Accessibility" >> Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 8:53 PM >> Subject: Apple's Xcode tutorial >> >> >>> Hi guys, so, I found a tutorial on starting out with Xcode by Apple. It starts by having you create a simple to do list app. I've made it as far as the "create storyboard" heading section, but now I'm stuck. Could somebody who is good at Xcode/with voiceover take a look at this and help me get unstuck? So far I've been able to make everything work well with voiceover.

More on XCode
Hi All: First, thank you to Jan for writing up a sample Xcode project to show how to connect interface elements to code, and to Josh for describing how to connect objects using XCodes interface builder. I have gotten the Interface Builder process to work for me, with one exception. When trying to connect a button, I get the popup window where I can give it a name and stuff. However, the popup button in that window where I should be able to change type from Outlet to Action shows as Dimmed in VoiceOver, so I can't change it to action. Any ideas? Running Xcode Version 4.63 on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion.

Re: Seeking Help with XCode
Jan: A little sample comments would help me too. I haven't fully looked through what you sent me already, but that should help too.

Re: Seeking Help with XCode
Thanks, Jan. i really like working with xcode. Where can I find some documentation on how to connect controls to references in code programatically?

Seeking Help with XCode
Hello All: I'm taking an IOS App Development course and need some help with XCode. I'm running XCode version 4.63 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10 Mountain Lion and use VoiceOver. In Interface Builder in XCode, I'm able to find and place controls on my view. However, I'm having trouble connecting the controls to code reference outlets. I tried the instructions from maccessibility.net, and while I can drag the control over to the file it needs to go in too, I can't enter the name into the window that's supposed to pop up in XCode, even though VoiceOver gives me the message "XCode has new window." Anyone have any ideas of how I can make these reference outlet connections, either using the GUI or in code?
