Hi Trevor,
I use the free application get iplayer automator to view BBC and ITV TV
programs on my iMac. You can use this to download radio and TV programs
which you select by entering some words which might appear in the program
title. After they have been downloaded you can play the programs via iTunes
or transfer them to an iPhone or iPod.
If you are interested in this approach please contact me off list and I can
then Email you an article I recently wrote on how to use this application.

Please note that you will have to google get iplayer automator as it is not
in the app store.

spell checker

2014-02-08 Thread Sharon Stockman
Hi all,
When I first starting using my macbook air it automatically checked the 
spelling and corrected the words. Now it tells me there is a miss spelling but 
doesn't correct it. I've played around with the setting but can't get it to 
simply correct the spelling as I type? Can anyone assist?
Thanks
Sharon

voice over is on but speech is muted! help

2014-01-30 Thread Sharon Stockman
Hi all,
I was busy answering e-mails and my MacBook Air announced that voice over was 
on but speech was muted. So I'm stuck with no speech to put this problem right. 
Does anyone know the command to unmute the speech?
Thanks Sharon

Re: voice over is on but speech is muted! help

2014-01-30 Thread Sharon Stockman
Oh great got it working. You are right I must have done it by mistake. I do 
wave my hands around a lot! Actually I do need to read a bit more about using 
the Mac. I love it so far - only had it 3 weeks and am getting on well with the 
use of help and the on board tutor guides with mail and safari but I’m 
struggling with pages. I suspect I’m not interacting at the right points and I 
find myself stuck in headers and footers. I’m getting there though and it is 
different to windows which is all I’ve ever used.
Thanks for the help it is much appreciated.

 I hope I can help here Sharon, it is a 3 finger double tap on the trackpad. 
 You will have accidentally turned this off at the trackpad also.  Hope it 
 works.  I just found a short podcast on it last night so it did me good to 
 listen to it to answer your question.  It is only about a 2 minute podcast so 
 I can send to you off list if you like.

RE: love to have windows

2014-01-17 Thread Sharon Stockman
Hello John,

I have recently bought a macbook air and intend to install windows under VM
fusion. I have actually got on rather well with the Mac and have been
surprised how quickly I've got to grips with it as a new Mac user but my
work requires me to have access to windows as well from time to time so I
want a machine that can do both.

I'm going to give it a try this weekend with assistance from my sighted
adult son who is reading up on how to do it so if we have success I'll
happily let you know how we got on and I'd appreciate it if you would do the
same.

I know from another list it works well so fingers crossed.
 
Regards
Sharon

Hi John

Well, as you are prepared to have a go at it, and clearly have more of a
nerve for such things than I do, good luck.  And please do let us know how
you get on.  Are you going to do this using a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air?  I
can't remember what you said you bought recently.

Nice one!

 Hi there.
 
 Yes vmware works just fine with windows 8.1.  I am not sure if you can 
 get
windows 8.1  working without installing w8 first I am still trying to figure
that out myself.  I  know you can get a download for $119.  If you want pro
ofcorse it is going to caust motre but it should work just fine.

  Hi all
  
  just to confirm to put windows on my mac I need vmfusion and of 
  course a
windows cd.
  does this work with windows 8 point one or is it still windows 7.
  it would be grate to have the windows option on my mac.
  I really must give this a try.
  main reasons
  the mac is portable to carry when I am away say at a chess event.
  also the battery life if so good.
  having the windows option as well as the mac saves taking a net book.
  thanks and what a good list we have.
