Re: [Mac-access]: weirdness with messages syncing across devices

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hialeah,
This sounds really basic, but is your phone number set to receive messages on 
all your devices. I think you can figure that under messages settings.

iBooks on iPad question

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi all,
I am using an iPad mini retina display with iBooks. When I go under my 
purchases in iBooks on my iPad it shows that all of my books are downloaded. 
But when I go under the my books tab to choose a book to read voiceover says 
that there is an empty list. So I can't see any of the books that I have 
apparently already downloaded onto my iPad. Any suggestions?
Thank u,
TJ

iTunes match on apple TV

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hello All,
Last night I subscribed to iTunes match.  I have turned it on successfully on 
my iPhone and iPad.  How do I enable iTunes match on my apple TV?  Apple's web 
site says that there is an area under music on the apple TV called iCloud 
music, but I do not see it.  My library is still being uploaded to iCloud.  
Will that area under music not appear on the apple TV until the library has 
finished uploading?  Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
T.J.

Re: I think my Mac is broken

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Do a command R when powering up and it will boot in the recovery partition. 
Then you can use disc utility to scan your HD. You'll need to turn on VO 
manually. Don't think it will start automatically. Hope this helps.

reinstalling mavericks with recovery partition

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi All,
I'm using a mid 2009 Mac book pro with Mavricks 10.9.2.  My computer has been 
running very slowly with lots of "finder busy" messages.  So I am attempting to 
reinstall the operating system using the recovery partition.  I can turn on 
voice over, select the reinstall OS 10 option, hit continue through the license 
agreement and select my destination drive for the reinstall.  However, when I 
get to the sign in to the app store step, my apple ID and password are never 
excepted.  It keeps saying that the sign in button is dimmed.  I've even tried 
turning off voice over in the text fields to enter the text.  But when I do 
this, I end up with a window that says "signing in to app store," and a busy 
progress indicator.  There is no percentage bar, just the busy progress 
indicator.  I have checked and I am connected to my wireless internet network.  
Do any of you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
T.J.

Re: New iPhone 5 no sound affects

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi all,
I purchased a new iPhone five yesterday and still do not have my high-quality 
Samantha voice back yet. I have tried plugging it in and locking it connecting 
it to Wi-Fi, and syncing it with iTunes using Wi-Fi sync. And yet, still no 
voice. A suggestions?
Thanks,

Direct tv app

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hello,
I am considering getting DirecTV in my new house. I have been looking at the 
DirecTV app. It looks very accessible and usable. My one question is this. You 
can use the app to schedule shows on your DVR, can you also then use the app to 
view the recordings that are on your DVR and select which one you want to play? 
I haven't seen any information on this specific issue. Any insight would be 
appreciated.
Thank you,
TJ

But when I select add new account, then other, then create mail account and

iPad and powerpoint

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hello everyone,
I have a friend whose interested in purchasing an iPad mini.  But she reads a 
lot of powerpoint presentations for school, and one of her chief purposes for 
getting an iPad would be to read powerpoint presentations.  Is there a way to 
accessibily read powerpoint presentations on the iPad?  I know Key Note is 
Apple's powerpoint equivalent.  Does that work well, or might there be better 
apps for presentations for use with voice over?  Any feedback would be 
appreciated.
Thanks,
T.J.

Re: ipad mini

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi Will,
For those that have a mini and have also used an iPad with a full sized screen, 
do you find the screen on the mini easier to navigate?  I currently have an 
iPad 2.  It seems that a mini could be an intriguing consideration for that 
reason.

Hmm. The problem is that the last time I checked, when turning off that mic

you have to turn it back up to 100. I wish that when you turned it on the

Re: In search of a Sirius/XM solution.

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi Jeff,
After reading your E-mail I launched pulsar and am able to stream sirius XM 
content just fine.  I switched back and forth between nascar radio and nfl 
radio and it behaved as it always does.  I also use the iPhone app.  It 
certainly isn't the most accessible app in the world but there are work arounds 
for it to do the tasks that you want it to.  For example, when you're listening 
to a station and you want to go back to the categories list you can double tap 
the bottom left hand corner of the screen.  That's the back button, although 
voice over doesn't read it as such.  I haven't tried labeling the buttons with 
the custom element labeling feature.  That might work as well.

Greetings yy'all,

Sadly, Pulsar is now a tool of the past.  Though this Rogue Amoeba page implies 
that US accounts are still functioning for the present, I am no longer able to 
play XM content via Pulsar.

Musicdoc still works, however, they have not added the sports play-by-play 
channels.  My question, therefore is: what are people now using?  Last I knew, 
the Sirius/XM IOS app was inaccessible, as is their on-line player which 
appears to be using exclusively flash with none of the elements labeled in a 
manner such that a screen reader can read it.

TIA for any ideas, or perhaps the IOS app has improved?

Re: accessible broadcasting software.

Been doing some research on this myself.  I know that sound flower and nice

Other than that, I don't know many specifics about the two programs.  I would 
be interested in feedback from list members as well.

Re: Improvements in Mountain Lion

I did the clean install and it worked quite well. If u have a bootable backup

run very sluggishly anytime you activate any finder windows; run applications; 
or in general, attempt to use the machine.  Today, the user backed the system 
up using Carbon Copy Cloner to an external drive.  Upon completion of said 
backup, the user attempted to boot from the drive to test its bootability.  The 
user discovered that not only did it boot wel, but that it was possible to 
navigate in finder windows without any kind of delay.

Is there anyone who can shed any light on this scenario?  At first the user 
believed it might be the missing monitor, and I mentioned this as a 
possibility, as I recall there have been some discussions on the necessity (or 
not) of the connection to a monitor for the mini to run smoothly.  Yet, if this 
were the problem, what would booting from an external rather than the internal 
have anything to do with monitors (or lack thereof) as to make it usable in a 
normal way when booted from the external while still unusable when booted from 
the internal if there were no monitor present during either booting?

Any and all suggestions and insights would be much appreciated.

Basically, the user is willing to do a clean install if that is truly 
necessary, but of course would rather it weren't.  Someone please advise.
Thank you,

T.J.

mail problem

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi everyone,
I am using the mail program on the mac and when I look at a message and go to 
interact with the text, the messages are blank.  I've checked the same messages 
on my iPhone and windows PC and they have all had text.  I have tried quitting 
mail and stopping and strating voice over, and neither step has remedied the 
problem.  Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
T.J.

time machine vs super dooper

[Timothy J . Meloy]

Hi everyone,
I have been using time machine to back up my mac.  I have recently heard that 
you can create entire clone of your hard drive with a program called super 
dooper, which would allow you to boot from your external if there were to be a 
problem with your internal hard drive.   also understand that you can acomplish 
the same thing through time machine, if you boot in recovery mode.  Is recovery 
mode accessible with voice over?  Should I stick with backing up using 
timemachine, or switch to using super dooper if I want this functionality?  Any 
insights would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: Recovering from accidental muting

Re: Help! VoiceOver stopped working on a MacBook

[Timothy J. Meloy]

If you have a track pad, you can use the three finger double tap gesture.  I 
think you have to set up a keyboard shortcut in the key board commander.  
Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

Re: Track Pad

[Timothy J. Meloy]

I actually find the track pad easy to use. You can locate items on the screen 
quicker. My first experience with VO was with the gestures on my iPhone. So 
it's nice to be able use those on my Mac through the track pad.

Re: drag and drop

drag and drop

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi all,
I'm trying to drag and drop a document from one folder to another.  I can mark 
the item for drag and drop.  But then when I tell it where to drag it to, VO 
workds for a minute or two, then says the item failed to drag.  What  might the 
problem be?  Is there something different I could try?  I'm sure this is 
operator error at some level, as I am relatively new to VO on the mac.  :).  
Any help is appreciated.

selecting text

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hello everyone,
When I try to press command shift right arrow or VO shift right rrow to sellect 
text one word at a time, it will select a block of text, almost an entire 
sentence in some instances.  Is there a way to ensure that when you're going 
word by word, it only does select one word at a time?  Any assistance would be 
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Re: copying and pasting files into folders

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Thanks for the suggestions Thomas.  I did VO shift M and selected the paste 
item when I was sitting in the folder I wanted to move the item to, and it 
actually pasted the item in that folder.  Don't know why command v itself 
didn't move it.  Is this a common occurence, where you actually have to press 
VO shift M and paste item in order to get it to move to your selected folder?
Thanks,
T.J.

Re: simple ocr for mac

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Read iris is pretty simple to use.  There is a good instructions document out 
there for configuring it to scan and save as RTF documents.  I use it to scan 
mail and it works quite well for the most part.  Note that if you have a canon 
scanner you will also need to obtain a copy of VueScan, for around $30 or $40 
U.S. dollars.Read iris is available in the mac app store for around $130.00

Re: Why VoiceOver is cool for the sighted

I know one thing you could do is have voice over set not to come on 
automatically.  Or you could turn it off when your sighted friend is using the

navigon problem

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi All,
My girlfriend  recently purchased the navigon app.  hen she launches the app, 
she's taken to the map manager.  She tells it to select all maps, and then 
double taps the update button.  the phone gets sluggish as though it's 
downloading something, but the downloads never actually occur.  Progress 
indicators all stay at 0 percent, and when she taps the later button to try and 
skip the step of downloading the maps it doesn't let her do that.  She has 
tried all the usual trouble shooting steps, restarting her phone, removing app 
from app switcher, uninstalling and reinstalling the app ETC.  Nothing has 
worked.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?  Feedback would be greatly 
appreciated.
Thanks,
T.J.

Re: voiceover sounds have gone on ipad

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Have you tried unloading and then reloading voiceover?  Sometimes, for no 
reason at all, voiceover does things that it shouldn't, even when you haven't 
done anything wrong.

HTH,

service battery

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi everyone,
I am doing some work on my mac book pro and I just checked my status bar to see 
how much battery was left.  I'm showing 24 percent remaining.  Then when I 
arrow down to the menu, the first item I see says "service battery."  The rest 
of the menu has the same options as it always has.  What does "service battery" 
mean?  Any insight you could provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
T.J.

Re: ONE SMALL GRIPE RE: IOS5.1

Hi Gordon,
I don't believe there has ever been a way to have different signatures for each

suggested, would be most helpful.

apple tv

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a third generation apple TV, and am ooking for some 
information on how well it works with voice over.  For example, can you turn 
voice over on yourself or do you need sighted assistance, ETC?  The 
documentation for apple tv has surprisingly little information about voice 
over.  Any insight you could provide would be helpful.

Re: opening files recognized by read iris in pages

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Ok. I find that I get a lot of unrecognized characters with read iris. 
Wondering if it's a setting or the OCR as a whole? Do you have that problem 
with fine reader?

RE: opening files recognized by read iris in pages

[Timothy J. Meloy]

The document I was reading was sent to me as a scanned image PDF.  On my
current set up, Vue Scan scans as a PDF and then read iris does the OCR and
recognition, saving the OCRED document as an RTF, which I can open in pages.
I looked at Abby Fine Reader, but I read that you can only scan one page at
a time and couldn't do multiple page documents.

Pages is not the app for reading PDF, you need to open them with Preview.

I'm curious as to why you create PDFs in the first place. It's the worst
format for reading on the Mac.

Also, why ReadIris? ABBYY FineReader is a much better OCR program.

Re: skype and video calls

I believe video call is turned on by default. You actually have to turn it off 
if you do not want to use video during the call. Hope this helps.

Re: Unable to Delete Things on My iPhone

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi,

1-Photos. 
2-Camera roll. 
3-Find and open photo to delete. 
4-You will see "action," "Play," and then delete. 
Perhaps it is helpful for me to note that delete should be located in the 
bottom right-hand corner.

Re: Why would I want to use a Braille display with my Mac and iPhone?

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Many displays allow you to input in grade 2 Braille   I pair my iPhone with my 
Braille note apex occasionally. It is handy for typing messages and emails 
because grade 2 typing is quicker for me than typing on the iPhone keyboard. It 
is also handy when I need to access my phone in meetings ETC. Hope these 
insights are helpful.

Re: voice over with read iris and a canon scanner

[Timothy J. Meloy]

I have tried vo shift I in the scan gear dialogue and the computer dings like 
an item chooser doesn't exist for that dialogue window.  I looked at the 
settings and there is a "scan without using scangear's window" check box which 
is unchecked.  It is dimmed however, so you can't check it.  I read some posts 
from 2009 that said if you have a canon scanner you need vue scan in 
conjunction with read iris.  Is this still the case?

Re: voice over with read iris and a canon scanner

[Timothy J. Meloy]

That's not the same as the app chooser is it? How do you activate the item 
chooser? I am pretty new to Mac   Am certainly willing to try it. 
Thanks,
TJ

voice over with read iris and a canon scanner

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased the read iris OCR package from the mac app store, and
am trying to use it with my canon lide 700 F scanner.  When I press command
T to scan, a canon scan gear dialogue appears.  I can see all the
configuration settings within the dialogue, but I cannot locate the scan
button with voice over.  I can activate the close button, which takes me
back to my read iris window.  When I then activate the scan button found in
the read iris window, the scan gear dialogue appears again.  Is there a way
to bypass the scan gear dialogue so you're only using read iris to scan?
Alternatively, is there a voice over command to locate the scan button in
the scan gear dialogue?  Any assistance or insight you could provide on this
issue would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

T.J.
