Re: [Mac-access]: Let's be totally realistic: IPhone 6 and 6+ bending?
If you treat the phone sensibly - as you seem to be doing - I don't think there's any cause for concern. Quite frankly, people who put their phone in their back pocket and then sit down with it there, deserve to bend their phone! Regards Richard Bartholomew Sent from my iPhone On 4 Feb 2015, at 08:07, Christopher-Mark Gilland clgillan...@gmail.com wrote: OK guys, I've heard horror story after horror story about the IPhone 6, and 6 Plus bending. I'm admittedly now a little probably worked up over the hife. I'm probably being way over over paranoid, and normally, I don't fall for crap like this, but I will admit. Out of its case, my new IPhone 6 Plus does! feel very very flimsy. It feels like it would definitely take some force to do it, and I'm obviously! not about to try it intentionally, thank you very much? but! is it more just hife, and just people trying to bash Apple and make a stink? I know that there are plenty of Youtube videos out there of people bending the phones purposely to show that it indeed can and will bend. This said, I have a Pelican protector case. Earlier tonight I tried taking the thing off temporarily so I could show the bare phone to my mom, as she'd never seen a 6 of any sort before, let alone, a 6 Plus. This case is so snugged on the thing that pealing it off the back of the phone literally! almost takes the jaws of life! NO pun to the screen reader intended. LOL! I swear when I did take it out, it felt like after trying to put it back in, I didn't slide it up quite far enough to the top edge of the case, therefore it was a little crookid. When I took it out again to reposition it, I swear it felt like it had bent a slight bit. I think I'm probably just paranoid though. Most likely it didn't bend, and if it did, it would have been so slight that it eventually seems to a fixed itself. Again, I know I'm probably having you look at me and go... Doo'ood, Really?I mean, O? Kayyy. I never said! it couldn't! happen, don't get me wrong, but do you all agree with what ATT and Apple both are telling me, that the people who did! do this, were mistreating the phones badly, whether be purposely or not? I heard about one dude who literally apparently bent the thing on quote unquote, accident, so badly that the thang literally caught fire! So, yeah... I dunno. I'm probably over-paranoid, and earlier is probably just all in my head, as I'm working myself up over it for no reason, but I wanted to confirm with you all. I never really go outside and am travelling a lot. I never ever put my phones in my back pants pocket, I always keep the thing up on a counter/table/desk when not using it. I also have a good hard glass screen protector over the screen, in addition to the case. So, yeah. What do you all think? Do I need to just calm down, and stop pannicking, or do you all think I really do! have a reason to be so frightenned of this.

Re: [Mac-access]: FLUCTUATING VOLUME WITH VO
Hi, David Thank you for pointing me at these possibilities as it has allowed me to fix the problem! As you say, it’s unlikely to be these but, when I was double-checking, I noticed that a few things were not as they had once been…for example, the attributes volume was set higher than other volumes and, in addition, somehow the verbosity option had changed to speak changes when attributes changed rather than do nothing! I have now, yet again, reset all volume levels to my choice and updated the verbosity settings and will keep an eye on how things go from now on. Thanks again. Regards Richard Bartholomew On 24 Dec 2014, at 08:00, David Griffith daj.griff...@gmail.com wrote: I have never personally had this problem but I do not use airplay. There are only 2 features I can think of which may be causing this. 1. audio Ducking. This is the feature where VO reduces the sound level of any program if the Voiceover synth is active. I enjoy this feature but you can turn it off in VO Utility to see if that helps. 2. Positional audio. This is the feature where Voiceover balance alters according to cursor positioning on the screen, I believe this is on by default but I turn it off. It is probably neither of these things but I thought I would mention them. You should both setting in VO Utility.

However, the whole message isn’t read out and I can’t navigate to the dialogue box to read and activate the continue button. I presume I’ve got the system confused due to my multiple installs and would appreciate any suggestions as to how to uninstall an app on the Mac and, also, why VLC keeps disappearing after I close the system down at night.

Re: [Mac-access]: DROPBOX QUERY
Hi, David Yes, I do navigate to the folder the way you outline and have done numerous machine restarts since I bought this MacBook Air two weeks ago - which is when I first installed Dropbox. Sadly, the permissions repair hasn't fixed the problem. Dropbox itself seems to be working fine since I can send and receive files to and from people with whom I share folders; it's just that I can't copy those files out of Dropbox!

Re: [Mac-access]: UNINSTALLING AN APP
Hi, again, David Sadly, the permissions repair hasn't done the trick! Interestingly, these system dialogues seem to be getting hidden behind the Finder window since, when I shutdown the machine, I was again told there was a system dialogue and, on this occasion, I was able to read and action the continue button - mind you, doubt it did anything as the shutdown process was in progress! Also, before this shutdown step, when I opened the lid of the Air to awaken the computer, before I was told to enter my password to logon, I was advised there were THREE system message boxes but, of course, couldn't navigate to them! If I try a re-install, I go through the same cycle, ie partially spoken system message and no access to the continue button. Is there a way with VO to force focus to hidden dialogues?

Go to System Preferences Security and the General and after clicking the lock to make changes make sure that you can download apps from anywhere. 2. I would then go to Disk Utility and perform a disk permission repair on your hard drive. You will be able to get to the Utilities folder in Finder by pressing command shift U. Ideally you should do all this in the recovery console but try in Disk Utility first. 3. You could then review your apps folder to see if VLC has reappeared. If not install one more time but I would restart your Mac before making this install. 4. It is normal to get the warning dialogue you describe but you can normally navigate it. Hopefully a restart will sort this. Otherwise try pressing tab to navigate rather than vo cursor and pressing space bar on continue if you can get there. On any button if vo space does not work it is worth trying space or ever on it. David Griffith On 28 Nov 2014, at 09:12, Richard Bartholomew richard_bartholo...@blueyonder.co.uk wrote: Hi, again!

Re: [Mac-access]: DROPBOX QUERY
Hi, again Ok, my Dropbox issue has been partially resolved in that I've now discovered that the problem seems to be with the destination of the copy. I've successfully managed to copy from Dropbox to my Mac HD now - previously, I've been trying to copy to my NAS drive and the error message implied that it was the source that was the problem whereas it looks as though its permissions on the destination that are the issue! Thanks for the help with this.

If so this is again nor normal behaviour. Have you tried restarting? Again a disk permission repair seems to be in order. See previous message.

However,… I have installed Dropbox onto my Mac and find that I can copy files into my Dropbox folders but not out of them! I am using command-C and command-V for the copying and pasting but, whenever I try to copy a file from Dropbox to elsewhere, after a few seconds of working, I get an error message saying that the action can’t be completed because the file is in use. As the file is not being accessed by anyone else at the time of copy, does anyone know what may be going on, please?I’ve had a look in the Dropbox settings but haven’t come across anything relevant in there. Thanks for any help.
