Re: [Mac-access]: email

Re: [Mac-access]: how to autostart voice at boot up.
Usually, if you have voiceover turned on, it will start talking when the machine reboots. However, if it doesn't do this, you'll need to go into your account settings, and check the box that says use voiceover on login screen. If you want to have it log you in automatically, and there's only one account on the machine, you can select that option in your account preferences as well. You may be able to select the user to log in as if you have multiple accounts, but I don't know this for sure, as I've never used the login automatically option, since I don't like folks having access to my machine w/o me around to validate them. Hope this helps, and that it's still valid, since 10.9 isn't an s version I've used (yet) but the steps should be pretty similar regardless.

Re: [Mac-access]: App Development Question
Interface builder is commandline driven? When did this happen? Last time I used (or tried to) interface builder, you had to select the items you wanted from one side of the screen, and drop them in the other side to quote build unquote your interface. It's nice in that it builds all the required code to link pieces of your interface to pieces of your code, then all you need to do is fill in the appropriate pieces of code, but if interface builder got a command line interface, it happened after I quite bothering with apple development. Are you sure we're talking about the same program? If this is true, then I *really* need to get me an updated mac so I can play.

Re: [Mac-access]: App Development Question
As far as developing apps goes, Apple's Xtools just aren't there. It's gotten better as versions of Xcode has gone up, but last time I checked, (and that was a few releases back) it still wasn't possible to build an app from scratch using apple's tools if you wanted to have a gui with the app. Now, with that said, I have written apps for osx, and even modified existing apps to make them work better, the only issue was, I needed sighted assistance for parts of the process. Others have successfully used tools like renasance and produced quite usable programs. Java also works well (or used to, I've not written anything in java for a couple years, so this may have changed). Of course, if you write your application in php/html/javascript, and host it on a web server, then it will work for osx and ios with no trouble, assuming you build it properly. Of course, the downside of that is you can't use the app in offline mode, but it doesn't sound like you want offline access anyh ow, so that may work for you. I know there are others who develop on osx and ios, and perhaps they have more recent experiences they can relate, but I kind of let my osx/ios development slide after getting so frustrated with the not quite accessible tools, and the lack of a machine that could run the latest osx release, so perhaps I'm not the best person to be answering this query, since I've mainly stuck to linux/terminal apps for the last little while. Hopefully, someone else will pipe up with better information for you. If I ever get a new enough machine to use osx 10.9, I will likely renew my apple developer access, and begin looking into all this stuff again, but that isn't likely to happen in the near future. Hope this helps anyway.

Re: [Mac-access]: mudding on the mac revisited
I'm not sure what you mean by audio triggers, but at the moment, muddle is purely a terminal app, and since it's cross platform,, it does not handle any kind of audio support. It's easy enough to add it for any given platform (I had speech support separate from voiceover built-in at one point, but have since removed it, because it wasn't portable to linux, and that's really where I wanted the audio support. I was going to add sfml support (or maybe sdl) but didn't dig into what would be required for that to make it cross platform. It'd be easy enough to create a mac only version of muddle, but I'd like to make any changes usable on as many platforms as possible, and not have to produce multiple versions based on os version. Of course, it's free, source is included, and you're of course free to do what you like with it, regardless of what I consider proper. :) I didn't write it, but the license does allow changes and redistribution, so have at it.

[Mac-access]: audacity and noise filters
Anyone here able to help me out here? I normally do my editing with quicktime pro, and usually, that's enough. However, I currently have a file that has all kinds of background noise (mostly air conditioners/heaters, and (probably) water fountains kicking on and off during the whole presentation. I know audacity has the ability to filter out these kinds of things, but having loaded it for the first time today (never needed to do such work before) I'm at a loss as to how to do these things. I know it needs me to select the piece of noise I want to cancel, then apply the filter, but I can't figure out how to do the actual selection, I can't seem to get it to select anything but the whole file. Any assistance here would be appreciated. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: safari extensions
The click to flash extension works wonders, and the best part is that your machine doesn't automatically begin playing those irritating flash videos every time you open one of those sites that has one. The html5 videos still play, but since flash outranks html5 by a long shot, I'm ok with that. It sure saves my sanity. There's nothing I hate more than opening up a site, and having it start out with a 20 minute lecture on what I came there to buy, especially, since 90 percent of the time, I already know what I came there to buy. *growl* --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: Can't write to existing files; can't create new ones
No, no, no, no. Do not change permissions on files you do not know who they belong to. It's likely her problem is/was that she simply gave ownership of her home folder/documents folder to another user on her machine (since a reinstall didn't fix the problem) Performing an ls -l in the home directory won't tell you who owns the home folder, (though it will tell you who owns all the folders inside it such as documents, desktop, and the like) If they are owned by the user, all is well there, so do a cd .. (that's a cd followed by 2 periods to go up one directory level) then do ls -l again, find your home folder name, and look to see who owns it, and what it's permissions are. It should be owned by your username, and it should show something like dwrxr-xr-x This shows that it's a directory, has permissions 755 (read/write/execute for the user, and read/execute for everyone else. If you're the only user, then you're good (unless they've been given to root) In that case, you'll need to chown user folder_name (as root) to change ownership back to the proper user. You would use the sudo command to run the chown command in that case. However, there is no need to change permissions on every single file/folder to 755, that just opens up all kinds of issues. Don't give more permissions than are necessary to do the job, and 755 (for normal files) is too much permission.

Re: [Mac-access]: read/write permissions
Permissions on data files should be 644, not 755. Trying to execute a data file will just cause grief. If it's a program, then 755 permissions are ok (assuming you want others on your machine to be able to read and execute the file) This is most often the case. 644 is the permissions you want if it's a data file, this gives you read/write permissions, and everyone else just read permissions. Of course, if you want to keep it to your self, then 600 permissions are in order, then nobody else on your machine can read it (assuming of course that you have others logging in on your machine).

Re: [Mac-access]: Music Subscription Services
I don't know if it's available in other places, but I kind of liked the rdio client. I can't see paying $10 a month to stream music though, so these kind of streaming services don't appeal to me, but the client is accessible, and the paid service was nice (I used the 30-day trial). The only (major) difference I saw between the paid vs. free version of the app, is that on the free version, you can tell it you want to hear a certain artist all you want, and it ignores you (mostly) while with the paid one, you could restrict it to only that artist if you wanted. Otherwise, I didn't see any difference, but I only used it for a few weeks, and not every day at that, so your mileage may vary. hth. On Feb 24, 2015, at 2:07 PM, Sarah k Alawami wrote: Hmm.

Re: [Mac-access]: making my own website
This depends on how much work you want to do yourself. It's of course perfectly possible to build a site from scratch, and code everything yourself. It's also a whole lot easier to use a package like jumla, wordpress, buddy press, dolphin, or drupal to do it for you. There are issues with each of these, but generally, they can be made to do what you want, with the proviso that you have to do things their way, or learn to code around it yourself, something that is sometimes easier said than done. However, many many people are using cms systems (I wrote one myself several years ago) to handle their web sites so they don't have to. But, with all that said, if you wish to code your own, it's certainly possible, if short, simple, and straight to the poing with no fuss and no muss is what you're after, then by all means, write your own html code and put it up. However, it sounds like you're in a position of not knowing html coding, so more than likely, a solution like wordpress is likely to do you the most good. There's loads of places you can get wordpress training, (including from me), and some of the training is good, some isn't, some is free, some isn't, so it all depends on how much time and effort you'd like to sink into it. Find yourself a host that will install wordpress for you (many do) and give it a try. Even on the list here, there's plenty of folks that do both wordpress hosting, and training, so if you strike out on your own, and get stuck, you can ask (as long as it's vo related of course). If you're looking for an accessible html editor for the mac, I highly recommend taco html editor, I've used it for years, and never had any problems with it. It's relatively inexpensive to register, and has all kinds of included templates if you need a hand making your code. I use it all the time, and like it a lot, but I know there are other options too that work with vo, so perhaps others will chim in with those. Again, it's all based on how much you know, how much you want to know, and how much you want to put into the site. hth.

Re: [Mac-access]: Transcribing voice to text
I don't know of any offhand, but there is a service run by amazon (I think) that used to be called mturks, then changed name to vworkers (if I remember correctly) then changed names again, and I loose the thread at that point. I can't recall what it's currently called, but basically, it allows you to put a sound file up, and have folks transcribe it for you. It can be done as one big file, or broken into chunks, and it's parted out to any number of hundreds (thousands?) of workers, and each one gets a small piece, and when it's done, it comes back to you all nice and complete. I haven't a clue what it costs, but I know it's not free, because I used to assist with the work. Each piece didn't pay much, but after doing a couples hours of audio transcribing, I could rack up a decent chunk of change, especially if I chose some of the folks that paid higher rates for flawless work. In those cases, a $180 for a 5 minute recording payout would become a $3.60 payout for the same 5 minute recording.

Re: [Mac-access]: Switching from Wireless to Ethernet on a Macbook Pro
When you plug in an ethernet cable, the mac does automatically switch to using ethernet (assuming it's not been changed from the defaults to do so) It's easy enough to find out though, just open system preferences, select network, then look at the various connection types listed in the services table. It shows your ethernet, airport, firewire (if you have one) and other connection types your machine may have. By putting the vo cursor on each one (ethernet, airport, bluetooth, and so on) you can then move to the right of the table, and it will tell you connection status (connected, not connected, on/off, and so on). It will also give you the current ip address of that connection (if any) as well as some other information that may or may not be useful depending on what you're currently after. Hope this helps.

Re: [Mac-access]: Merging files into a single file on the Mac
You can use just about any sound editing app for this. I know quicktime pro works, because I've done this exact thing. Simply highlight each file (command-a to select the whole file) switch to the main window (or whatever one has the combined book you're working on) paste it in, move to end of file, and repeat as necessary. After that, simply save as, name the file whatever you like, and poof, instant combined book. I'd imagine other sound editing apps would work similarly, though not having tried those, I obviously can't comment on their usability/capabilities. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: Let's be totally realistic: IPhone 6 and 6+bending?
Whether it's a bunch of people trying to put a class action suit on apple or not is immaterial. I'm sorry, but when you spend as much money on a phone as the Iphone costs, you really don't expect it to bend, regardless of whether it's in your back pocket, front pocket, side pocket, or no pocket. The problem is, apple should have planned for this, and the fact that they didn't simply means they're getting a bit lax about their testing. It's all well and good to tell people not to do something, but you know as well as I do, that doesn't work. How many times have you been told on a mailing list to trim extraneous text from your replies, and how many of us actually do so? Apple also advised folks not to use the macbooks on your lap, as they do tend to get hot, but folks are still doing that too. It's not a people using the phone issue, it's an apple engineering issue. I know from experience that bending the Iphone will indeed cause it to break, I had an iphone 3g or 3gs (don't know which one it was) that happily exploded when it got dropped, the whole front glass just popped right off, the circuit board broke in half, and it leaked acid all over the place. I still have the (unbroken) glass if anyone wishes to validate my story. Obviously, I couldn't keep the rest of the phone, because it was releasing toxic fumes into the air, so it needed trashed (outside) And, this one was inside a case when it fell (aprox 3 feet off a desk). I've never heard of this sort of thing happening before, but the whole thing with the Iphone 6 jst underscores the problem companies have when building consummer devices, testing needs to be exhaustive, and yes, that includes putting them in pockets, suitcases, leaving them outside, and all manner of things folks are going to do with them when they own them. Is it apple's fault folks carry phones in their back pockets? No, but you can't tell me that apple doesn't know people do this, so whether they recommend it or not, it needs to be allowed for when the device is designed, because it's a fairly common practice. If you're not going to engineer for it, then you need to put disclaimers or warnings on the packaging, advising folks not to do this. I'm fairly confident apple's packaging and instructions don't have any clauses in them advising folks not to carry the iphone 6 in their back pockets. If they're going to claim it's not their fault, then they need to provide some r eason why it isn't, and just saying people are idiots is *not* a defense, if it were, there'd be a whole lot less lawsuits in this world. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: a screen problem that's quickly getting annoying.
No need to terminate your screen session, just hit ctrl-d, and it will suspend screen. close terminal, reopen it, then tyep screen -a (I think it's an a) and it will reattach to your current screen session. Then you can continue as before. (this assums of course, that the screen you mentioned is the multitasker for terminal called screen. Otherwise, the only thing I've found that helps is to cycle vo, sometimes that helps, but sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes, terminal is well and truly stuck, and there's nothing for it but to kill terminal and begin again.

Re: [Mac-access]: Google Chrome
I know folks don't agree, but I don't use anything but groups mode, It's so much easier, considerably fewer keystrokes to accomplish things, and I get to read large blocks of text all at once, something not possible when using dom mode, and since I read a lot of ebooks in html, that's extremely important for me. I can't stand dom mode, it takes me 3 times as long to do anything useful, because I have to work so hard to actually find the piece of the web page I need. Of course, everyone should use what's comfortable for them, and unfortunately, I can't test chrome on this machine, but if it works in groups mode, I'd likely report it's working. *grin* But, anyhow, typically when something like this happens, apple and the other company need to go back and forth a few times before things get ironed out. I expect it will get solved eventually though. On Jan 31, 2015, at 12:19 PM, David Griffith wrote: Webkit as I understand it unlrunderlies Safari code and not Chrome, though I would be happy to be corrected. I don't quite understand why people are not seeing the obvious problem with the latest Google Chrome as it is pretty clear it has been badly broken since the last update, and is unusable with Voiceover now using default dom view. . Basically for example if you go to www.bbc.co.uk/news you will now find it is impossible to read any news content with Voiceover using dom view. You can only read element like headings etc. by tedious pressing of the tab button with no ability to read any actual news content. If you turn Chrome Vox on then the news content does become readable with that alternative screen reader but the previous accessibility which used to be possible with Voiceover has been broken. There is a sort of workaround if you are comfortable switching to Groups rather than dom mode of web navigation. Mysteriously then some text of web pages does become accessible to Voiceover but groups mode is not the most intuitive of interfaces. Hopefully either accessibil...@apple.com and/or accessibil...@google.com can sort something out which can help these difficulties. It would be nice if for once Google was proactive in its accessibility testing rather than reacting to the problems which so called updates create.

Re: [Mac-access]: looking for a good book reader
I don't know if it will allow you to import books or not, but the librivox app allows you to adjust speed as well as other things, just like the audible app. I've never tried importing files to it, but if you can, it might be worth a look. And, just for reference, all librivox recordings are in the public domain, so you're allowed to play them for audiences as well as make new things from them. I personally like to find 3 or 4 recordings of the same story, and slice, dice and splice them into a new recording, with full cast recordings, It's a lot of fun, and makes for some interesting storytelling afterwords. :) On Jan 18, 2015, at 8:49 PM, Glenn / Lenny wrote: Hi, I have an audio book in MP3 that I am going to put into DropBox, and I plan on listening to it on my iPhone.

Re: [Mac-access]: still problems with safari.
If your connection to the internet is via dial-up, safari isn't the program you should be using to fix connection issues. You need to get into network options, and configure from there (though I've never done a dial-up connection on OSX, so can't help with the specifics at that point, but system preferences/network would be the place the configuration would be most likely to be. Likely in the table of connection types (ethernet, bluetooth, firewire, what have you) in that table there is likely a dial-up or modem option. That's where you would configure it.

Re: [Mac-access]: Question about burning an Audio CD
I don't know if it works on newer versions of osx, I don't have any to test, but the softcon audio burn app can do this, and you can find it at the softcon mac pages. http://www.softcon.com/mac/ If it doesn't work, even though you said you don't want to do it with itunes, I'm fairly certain it can be done, but you'd need to edit each and every song, and change the options on it, to make it part of a gapless album, though I'm not positive about the cross fade thing. Failing that, you could always do something like icecast and a playlist, then capture it with hijack audio, but that's an aweful lot of work to get the final results. And that wouldn't burn the songs, just record them so you could burn the resulting capture file. :) Anyway, hopefully others can assist if this doesn't do the trick.

For those less technical, most of you should know what I mean by crossfading, but just in case not, what I'm saying is, as one song is fading with its ending, before it's totally faded out, maybe about a second and a half before the end of the song, have the next song fade up and start playing on top of the other one fading down.

Re: [Mac-access]: editing video on the mac.
As long as you're only wanting to do basic editing (cutting and pasting, as well as converting to other formats, quicktime pro will do what you want. (quicktime that comes with osx won't edit, it only plays, it's 30 bucks or thereabouts, but it works well, and I've used it on a number of occasions to fix videos we've had here. It doesn't do the fancy things, such as audio/video editing on their own (there's some packages that will allow you to edit the video and audio tracks separately), and it won't generally allow you to touch up the videos (changing shading, brightness and the like) but for just basic editing, it doesn't get much simpler than quicktime pro. I'm sure there's some free ones out there that work too, but since quicktime does what I need, I never bothered to look into anything else. hth.

Re: [Mac-access]: Using VoiceOver in Libre Office
Libreoffice is an interesting program. It devides each and every paragraph into a new voiceover group. It's possible to use it to write documents, but I usually build my documents in text edit, then if I need more complicated/fancy saving options, I'll open the document in libreoffice, then save it in those additional formats. Text edit is way more than just a simple editor, it will save in rtf format by default, and while it will read word doc formats, it won't save in them, but that's what I use libreoffice for. :) And, it's interface is way easier to navigate too. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: linking 2 things with terminal, error message
I already addressed this in the second email I sent to the list on this topic. You can't sim-link to a file that is already present, you'll need to rename the original file first, then you can sim-link the newer version to the makeinfo filename. I've never used homebrew, but if it doesn't run as root, you won't be able to use it to overwrite a program in the /usr/bin folder, because you don't own the file, and root has higher privileges than you do, so perhaps if you precede the homebrew command with a sudo command, it might work for you. But, just for reference, this is why I don't use any package tools such as homebrew or macports to do things for me, because I never know exactly what it is they're trying to do to my machine. If I download, compile and install the programs myself, I know exactly what's going on every step of the way. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: help with a terminal error regarding makeinfo
What it's telling you is that although you have a makeinfo program, the one you have isn't new enough. To solve this problem, you'll probably need to go download the source to makeinfo, and compile your own version (or if you're suicidal enough) install macports, and use that to try to find it. Macports works fine for some folks, but it caused me nothing but trouble, so I don't recommend use of it for any reason. Often times, the macports version of a program isn't significantly different from a native osx version, it's just a matter of someone going into the code, and (usually) only modifying the includes that are used and changing some of the definitions of macros used during the compile process. Often times, it's even simpler than that, so to be honest, I see no value in the macports collection myself, but that's just me. But, to get back to your original question, you will need to make sure you have the development tools installed that apple has for download on their web site. Make sure you have the latest xtools development environment, and you're likely to do just fine with the make issue you're experiencing. If not, then you are going to need to learn quite a bit more about compiling software on your mac in terminal mode before you are likely to be successful with this project. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: help with a terminal error regarding makeinfo
It looks like the latest version of texinfo is 5.2. You can find it at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-5.2.tar.gz After it's downloaded, open terminal, switch to the folder where it's located (I have a source folder in my home folder, and I copy things into that folder in their own folders before opening them, just to keep things organized). (of course, I use wget to download such things instead of a web browser, so I don't need to move them anywhere, but that's another story) Then, at the terminal prompt, type: tar -zxftexinfo-5.2.tar.gz This will create a texinfo-5.2 folder with the contents of the 5.2 texinfo program in it. Rename this folder if you like to make changing to it easier, but if not, then just type: cd texinfo-5.2 Then type the following commands (as each one finishes): ./configure make sudo make install Assuming the rest of your compiler chain is recent enough, the process will produce screens and screens of output, all talking about the versions of tools on your system, where they're located, and of course, the compile messages which sometimes get quite involved. But, assuming all goes well, you'll then have a texinfo version that is updated, and much newer than the one that ships with OSX by default, as this one was released in September (judging from the timestamp on the download page) After that's done, you can go back to your previous program (lewis) and try the make again. There may be other issues, but at least the texinfo version one will be solved. hth. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: help with a terminal error regarding makeinfo
One more caveat. Since the make install puts the makeinfo program in the /usr/local/bin, it will be overridden by the one in the /usr/bin folder, so you'll need to either rename the one in the /usr/bin folder with a command such as: sudo mv /usr/bin/makeinfo /usr/bin/makeinfo.orig or simply refer to it by it's actual install name, which is texi2any On the other hand, a command like the above (to move the initial makeinfo to a new name) then one like this: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/makeinfo /usr/local/bin/texi2any will serve the same purpose. The second command will add a sim-link into the place where the initial one was located, and therefore will still be found by default from the terminal prompt. Otherwise, you'd either need to muck around with paths and/or environment variables, and while both aren't all that complicated once you know how it all works, it's a lot simpler to just replace the original one with the new version in this case. Sorry for the additional note, and my apologies to anyone on list who finds this kind of thing supremely boring. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: Connecting A Nokia Phone to My Mac
There is a program in your utilities folder called bluetooth file exchange. That's the program you'll need to run if you want to move files from mac to phone or vice versa. I don't have 10.9, but the version I have is 2.4.5, and even though it's been a while since I used it, I do remember the process was extremely simple, and it was no trouble to find the files I wanted to move around. Hope this helps. On Dec 24, 2014, at 5:23 AM, Eleanor Martha Burke wrote: This was brilliant and now I love my Mac even more! Never thought it was possible as I certainly could not get my Nokia phone to communicate with my iPhone! I have not transferred Talks over or tried to as thus far I have just paired the devices and it was brilliant seeing my phones files on the Mac. I thought that while I was viewing my phone's files on the Mac, I could choose one of them to send to the Mac but strangely I only got the option to send to other BT devices of which the Nokia E6 was one! Others were things like my BT mouse, After Shocks Headphones etc! Now if anyone can give me further direction regarding why the Mac did not show up I would be greatful. Perhaps my mistake was selecting the file from my Mac screen and I will try later in the next few days choosing the file on the phone and then maybe I will get the Mac as a destination. In any case it transferred very nicely to my phone so that part is great! I must try the Talks though also as this is considered a protected file and certainly will not transfer via BT from one Nokia phone to another. Eleanor who loves her Mac even more now!

Re: [Mac-access]: Connecting A Nokia Phone to My Mac
Hmm. I don't know about now, I've not used my nokea phone for many years, but the last time I tried it, I had no problem moving talks via bluetooth. I simply transferred the talks_en_* (with the asterisk being the rest of the filename) I still have both my nokea phone and the talks install disk, so I can certainly give it another go, and lay out the exact steps, but as I said, my version is many years old, so perhaps they've changed things since then. On Dec 23, 2014, at 5:22 AM, Eleanor Martha Burke wrote: Well that is very interesting Travis, I never gave bluetooth a thought as my experience with bluetooth and the iPhone is that it is unable to communicate with the bluetooth on a Nokia phone so I presumed it would be the same with the Mac.

I have managed to sort my Talks issue on my mobile phone but remain disappointed that the Mac does not see the memory card in my phone when I plug the phone in to the Mac via USB.

Re: [Mac-access]: Moving windows
I'm assuming you're talking about moving active windows around the screen. Honestly, I've found very little use for this feature, but I'm glad vo supports it, it does help when you have several windows open, and they are overlapping enough that sighted folks can't tell where the active cursor is located. You get into the window moving mode by holding down the vo keys, and the ` key (that's the one to the left of the number 1 key on us keyboards. I haven't a clue where that key is on other keyboards. If it helps, I think the ascii value of the character is 127, so others may be able to find it that way. Anyway, after you press vo-` you can then use the arrow keys to move the window around, and it gives you the location of the window after each movement. It moves in fractions of an inch, so sometimes, multiple keypresses are necessary to get significant movement. You can also resize the windows the same way, only using the ~ key, which is a shifted accent mark (again, the key to the left of the 1 on us keyboards). This too helps sometimes when sighted folks need a window enlarged just a bit, or you don't want to maximize the window via the menus. hope this helps.

Re: [Mac-access]: Joining MP3 together.
Nearly any osx compatible editor can do this, including quicktime. Just load the two files, ctrl-a to highlight the whole thing, then paste it in at the end of the other one. Export it to the format of your choice, and you're all done. Sometimes, you need to export in another format (if you don't have the proper codecs installed) then use itunes to do the conversion back to the format of choice. You can find the convert option in the advanced menu in itunes. There's probably stand-alone programs that can do it too, but I've never used any of those, so others will need to mention them. Hope this helps. On Dec 18, 2014, at 7:16 PM, Sean Murphy wrote: All, What is a good tool to join MP3 files together? I checked visapple and they didn’t appear to have any.

Re: [Mac-access]: Problem solved was: Re: requesting help on righting times in file names
The finder sorts alphabetically. The problem comes when numbers are involved. The finder doesn't know (or care) that the number 12 is larger than the number 4, all it knows, is that 1 comes before 4, so it will happily put 10, 11, 12, 13, and so on before it puts 2, 3, 4 and so on. The way to solve this is simply to add a zero to the beginning of the file name, because as we all learned in math class, 0 comes before everything else. So, in that case, 04 will properly sort before 12. For what it's worth, the computer doesn't actually sort alphabetically or numerically at all, what it does is to look at the ascii values of the characters in question, numbers show before letters do in the ascii table, and capital letters are before lowercase ones, so that's why it sorts the way it does. hth.

Re: [Mac-access]: braille translator for the mac
There's two braille translations that have been ported to the mac. Neither one is as automatic as what you're used to on windows, though it would probably be possible to make one of them do so if someone wanted to take the time to code rtf tag recognition into them). Nfbtrans, which is relatively simple to use, though you do need to manually handle formatting of your document using tags specific to nfbtrans. I use nfbtrans exclussively for all of my brailling needs, both on osx and windows/dos. The other one you already know about, and that's louis braille translator. I have copies of louis somewhere, though I'm not sure where.

Re: [Mac-access]: braille translator for the mac
Nfbtrans is free, and can be downloaded from the nfb file area, but the osx specific changes won't be in it there. I had posted it on my site I'd thought, but it doesn't appear to be there, so I'll send it to you in email. As for learning to use it, it's fairly straightforward, there's codes for blank lines, (~s) center (~c), page numbering, table of contents, and so on. They're not hard to learn, but as I said, they do require hand coding them into the document to be translated, which is what turns off most folks from using it. I may take a crack at writing an rtf to nfbtrans format converter, but it won't be this week, and in any case, that's not a job that can be knocked out in a couple hours anyhow. But, if you're ok with working on text files, and editing them for inserting the nfbtrans codes, you can easily use nfbtrans for translating your braille documents. If you have a serial to usb adapter, it's likely nfbtrans will work out of the box on your printer, if not, you may have to manually copy the file to the printer (nfbtrans really isn't setup to handle unix device names). Usually, what I do is translate the document on my mac, then print it on my dos machine. Eventually, it will irritate me enough to fix it so it works all from the mac, but I don't have a usb braille printer, and testing would be problematic in that case. :) I would of course be willing to assist anyone needing help getting it to work on their macs. It's likely an apple script or shell script could be written to automate the entire process, but I've not gotten around to doing that just yet, though come to think of it, an apple script to do the initial conversion wouldn't be very difficult, I may do that and post here tonight or tomorrow. Nfbtrans isn't the most automatic program out there, but it sure can do the job if you're willing to work with it a little. hth.

Re: [Mac-access]: braille translator for the mac
Ok, update and correction. I have updated the softcon mac unix page to show the version of nfbtrans I compiled for use on osx. Unfortunately, my ppc machine died on me earlier this year, so it's not ppc compatible, though the source should compile cleanly for anyone using a ppc mac), and it does have both i386 and x86_64 versions of the nfbtrans program, in effect it will work on any intel based mac. I added a copy of nfbtrans774.zip to the nfbtrans_osx.zip file, just so folks can have the original as well as the mac osx specific version if they want it, and I don't have to worry about my version being separated from the original, and causing other issues. It is a terminal program, and there are no scripts or shortcuts included, so anyone using it will need to open a terminal session to make it work properly. I'll see about getting an apple script written to give it a gui folks can be comfortable using, but no promises on that. :-). The url to download it is: http://www.softcon.com/mac/unix/ and the direct url if you just want the files and don't want to be bothered with reading all about it is: http://www.softcon.com/mac/unix/nfbtrans_osx.zip Hope this helps folks, and I'll be available for questions if anyone has any. It's fairly straightforward though, so if you read the docs, you should have no problems using it. It's not something you can just run and get excellently formated results from, it will require a bit of work to produce commercial quality braille, but it's definitely possible, and after you get used to it, it'll become second nature. hth. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: [Mac-access]: How to intercept audio playing in Safari
Assuming the file is actually posted on the web page, a right click (or vo-shift-m) will give you the option to download the file. If it's in one of those players that don't allow you to see the file, that's a different story, but, yes, audio hijack will definitely record the file for you w/o any trouble. Simply set it up to hijack safari audio, press record, then switch to safari, and begin playing the file. I'm not sure if osx downloads the files before playing them or not. A lot of stuff these days is done via streaming, so the file may never exist on your hd, regardless of how long it is. If it does windup there during it's playing though, you can find it in your ~/library/caches/safari folder (somewhere) I've never determined where it it decides to put things, and searching through that mess for a currently playing file is a bear, since rarely does it have a recognizable name, but occasionally, it does work. hth. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: Bluetooth keyboard on IOS 8 I Am Not Happy! A fix
You know, this is one thing (not just on this list, but everywhere) where folks get ribbed because they upgrade, then have issues. Yet, if anyone mentions that they're not running the latest release (such as I've done on a number of occasions) because of issues with that release, you get ribbed, because you're not upgrading and taking the issues, because they can and will be worked around. Honestly, I find it a bit irritating. I have learned to ignore it, mostly because I don't care about tech support, rarely call for it, and have no issue fixing my own hardware (most of the time), so for me, having 10 or even 20 year old equipment doesn't bother me in the least, but when I mention to someone that I have a computer running windows xp pro, that is 10 years old, or that I have an iphone 3gs, or 4s, or that I'm running osx 10.5 or 10.6, the response is nearly always, You need to upgrade That's all well and good if someone can afford to do so, and/ or if they want to do so, but some folks are perfectly happy with what they have, and don't want or need the latest and greatest, and perhaps have other equipment in addition to what's being discussed, yet, it seems to be antisocial, or anti technology, if someone doesn't want to upgrade for whatever reason. Could we please stop casting aspersions on the versions of hardware/software folks are using, and just offer help where possible, and keep quiet otherwise? Honestly, I don't care if someone is running 10.4 tiger, or 10.9 mavericks, if they have a problem, and I know how to fix it, then I'm always willing to assist, and the version of their hardware/software should have no bearing on that issue. Sure, sometimes, problems are fixed in later releases, and there's nothing wrong with pointing that out, but it really needs to be done in a friendly optional manner, not in a rude direct confrontation method, as I've seen all too often here and elsewhere. I'm not a moderator, and I have nothing to do with the running of any portion of the mac-access sites or anything else relating to the list or equipment running it, I'm simply a list user who has withdrawn, and participated less and less as time goes on, because frankly, the level of snobbery on this list has truly astounded me. I realize this isn't really a matter for me to raise directly on list, but sorry folks, it's just finally gotten on my nerves one too many times. Responses like the below do nothing to help, and often cause antagonism, which really isn't necessary. Can we please keep things civil, and stop with the sniping at folks who aren't running the versions others have? Please?

Also, another bug in IOS8 is that voiceover crashes when one is using the arrow keys plus probably a few other things. The system goes silent briefly and you here Voiceover on and find that you are now back at the start of the list of available links to arrow through. This is annoying but if you arrow through things a little more slowly, it seems to crash less often. Time to go down another rabbit hole.

Re: an ssh question with osx and a remote server
Actually, you can use just about anything to perform your transfer, ftp, telnet, rsh, ssh, any thing that allows a connection between machines. Remember, unix oses are 1, process based, and 2, socket based. This means, you can tie commands together using the vertical (|) character, and you can chain as many commands as you need to accomplish a task. I've used tar to move entire drives from one place to another, simply by running tar on the source machine, then using rlogin (telnet isn't 8-bit clean) and running tar again on the target machine. It's all doable, and you need no special software or timing, a simple crontab entry will do the job for you if that's what you need. You could do something like this: tar -zc *.txt|ssh user@host 'tar -zx' and all the txt files would be compressed, and tared up into an archive, which would then be transferred over the pipe via ssh to the remote machine, where upon tar would run and untar and uncompress the txt files on the remote machine. With this example, you'd need to be at the keyboard to type in the password, but if you had proper key pairs setup, and you used the proper command line parameters, you could remove this requirement. hth.

Re: iphone question.
Well, I finally got the notification from apple, telling me I could upgrade to version 8 if I wanted, so assuming your 4S has the capability also, you should be able to do so as well. I don't know if there's processor differences that would prevent the upgrade between the 8gb version you'd get and the 16gb version I have. I doubt it, but sometimes such things do happen.

Re: Audio recorder for Mac OS
Huh? I've used quicktime for years, and I've never once used the drag an drop functions to put pieces of audio where I wanted them. This isn't audacity, it's quicktime, a simple cut and paste works just fine. You of course have to have the piece of the video you want to cut already highlighted, but drag and drop? I haven't any idea how drag and drop would work in quicktime, since I've never used it. It would probably work, only saying I've never used it, so can't say one way or the other.

Re: Audio recorder for Mac OS
To select parts of the video in quicktime, you use the command-shift- arrow keys. You can select forward or backward, so either right or left arrows will do the job. You need to be careful, especially on multiple highlighting attempts, because if you don't deselect all, it will combine the part you already highlighted with the new part, and you might get pieces you didn't want in the audio/video you paste into. But, there's always the undo which is your friend, trust me. It's saved me from redoing work many times. hth.

Re: Accessing root log-in credentials
Rm will happily remove files for you, though it should be used sparingly, since a bad rm command could wipe your entire hd, though it would take some serious coincidence to make it happen by accident. mv will move files, cp will copy them, and (on osx at least) pushd and popd will save restore directories in case you need to go somewhere else first to do something, and you're 6 levels deep in the file system, and really don't feel like typing that all out again to get back where you were. A simple pushd ./ will save the folder for you, cd where ever you like, then a popd will get you back where you were. One of the more useful navigation commands imo. hth.

Re: Using Ruby ln Rails with VoiceOver
Voiceover works just fine in the terminal app that comes with osx. You can use text edit to write your code, just be sure to do a command- shift-t first to convert your document to plain text, or else it will be in rtf, and that won't work on the ruby interpreter. The simplest thing though, is just to use an editor your terminal app already has such as nano, (you know, the editor that is built into pine). It works well enough for most things, and doesn't give you any trouble with formatting, since it has no formatting features to speak of. just nano file (replacing file with the file you wish to edit) and when you're all done, control-x will save the file and exit the editor. control-o will write out the file if you wish to save it before you're ready to exit. That's pretty much it. It has search and replace capabilities, but I don't use them much, and it has the added benefit of using plain ascii, not UTF-8 as textedit does when saving in text format. hth.

Re: Shell Script Query
Root is not generally the way you want to run commands. It is possible to remove the entire contents of your hd as root, and with no prompting whatsoever. You really shouldn't do anything as root unless it's absolutely necessary. Running the command rm -r * will remove all files in the current folder, and also, every file under any folders in that folder. If that command were run from the root of your drive, and it was run as root, you'd have a clean hd in short order, and your system wouldn't even tell you it happened. Of course, the next ls command would alert you to the fact that something was wrong, when you get a file or command not recognized error, but by then, all your stuff is all gone, and can't be retrieved. Use root for sysadmin tasks that cannot be performed by a standard user, and leave everything else to standard users, the same rm -r * command executed from root as a standard user would simply give a series of permission deneyed errors instead of wiping out your entire hd. Of course, all your user files would go bye-bye, but that's a far cry from wiping your entire hd, so always be careful when you're logged in as root.

This is a security precaution, because you don't, in general, want arbitrary scripts to run on your system without your express permission, and by default the files you create or copy will not have executable privilege. If I want to run a shell script from the Terminal command line, I first make it executable: chmod +x scriptname If you only want the script owner to be able to execute the script, type: chmod u+x scriptname In this example, substitute the actual name of the script for scriptname. Then, run the script with the command: ./scriptname The dot slash typed before the name of the script (with no spaces) refers to the current directory, which is not usually included in your $PATH (which are the directories that are searched by default for executable files). Presumably the script takes care of the one-time installation, and you won't use it again. Those two commands typed from Terminal -- the chmod +x before the scriptname to make sure the file is executable and the ./ scriptname to run the shell script file named scriptname should be all you need. Technically, you also need to allow read permission to a shell script file in order to run it, but you already have it in most cases, including the case you describe. The alternative to running the chmod command to change the permissions mode of a file, if you have the file and directory on another attached disk, is to copy the file with the cp -p option.

Re: Navigating tables wasRe: Accessible iPhone WEB browser.
The only thing I've noticed that affects whether or not I can navigate tables as rows/columns is how the table is defined in the html code. If it's truly a table (using table and /table tags, it seems to work just fine, and it doesn't matter if it has th/th tags or not for table headers. Unfortunately, most web sites try to get fancy, to make their tables look cool and interesting, and when they do that, it tends to break vo navigation of tables. I can (interestingly enough) navigate audible tables just fine, and logging into audible both on the iphone and the mac don't give me the slightest difficulty. Of course, I'm not using 10.9 or ios 7.x, so that could play a role in my ease of use. Sometimes, upgrades break things. On Aug 23, 2014, at 2:30 PM, gs wrote: Hmm.

Re: Braille display not disconnecting propperly from my Mac
I'd not worry about it. Some devices do this. They reconnect after being disconnected. If it's a storage device of some sort, this sometimes can cause errors on the file system, but usually doesn't. In the case of devices that are not storage related such as displays, keyboards, and mice, it won't hurt the computer or the device in the least to simply unplug it after ejecting it, whether it comes back or not. There may be some sort of configuration setting you can change to prevent the display from reconnecting, but not having a usb braille display, I couldn't even guess what it might be called, but in any case, it isn't likely to hurt anything by just unplugging it when necessary. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: App question
Depending on what you're after, terminal can do this for you quite nicely. Open terminal, and then change to the folder you'd like to have the list of files created in. Next, type a simple ls -1 and you'll get a list of all files in that folder. If you want it to show hidden files as well, then add a -a to the command line. Note, the -1 makes each file name on a separate line. If you'd like normal ls information (name, sice, date, permissions, then leave off the -1 and you'll get all information shown. If you'd like to find specific files (I.E. those with .zip extensions), then simply do something like: ls *.zip and ls will show only the zip files. Now, if you'd like something showing all files under the current folder as well, then things get more complicated. You can do an ls -R to show all files and their subfolders, but if you're looking for a particular file, it might be easier to pipe the ls output to the grep command, or use find instead to locate the file in question. find ./|grep zip will show all files at and below the current file level, including all subfolders, and any and all matches for what comes after the grep command. The benefit of find over ls is twofold. First, find shows entire paths (I.E. /Users/tsiegel/downloads/file1.zip, instead of just file1.zip as the ls command would do, and two, it will (by default) search each and every file at or below the current folder, matching the zip wildcard, regardless of where it is in the filename. So, if you had a file named zipper1.txt and zipper2.jpg, the find command would locate both of these files, whereas the ls *.zip command would only find those with a zip extension. Of ourse, you could adjust your ls command accordingly, but sometimes it's difficult to get satisfactory results from the ls command if your search criteria are complex. For instance, I can pipe find through multiple grep commands if needed to get very specific results. Let's say I have files that are named by date, but I only want the zip files with such a date. I could do something like this: find ./ |grep zip|grep 02012014 and the files output would only be the one one matching files with 02012014 in their name, and also having a .zip extension. This would show me all 02012014 files with zip extensions, regardless of what the file name actually was. For instance, hijack audio has a name function that tacks on dates to recordings, in addition to their names. Using this search command, I'd see all of those such as 02012014-first_file.zip and firstfile-01022014.zip without having to specify where in the filename the 02012014 might be located, which is a bit more difficult using just a plain ls command. This of course, only displays the results, it won't do anything else with them, but if you need to see them in a list and be able to edit them (like to remove files you want not to show up in your text listing) then you can simply put a out.txt after the rest of the command, and your output (all of it) will be dumped into a file called out.txt which you can open with text edit with the command open -e out.txt whereupon osx will open text edit, and load the out.txt file into the editor ready for your modifications or viewing pleasure. It's very easy to build up a series of these linked commands to manipulate output, so you get only the results you want to see and work with, but just be aware that each time you add another vertical bar and another command to the command line, you're extending the time it takes to run the commands, especially since find works on each and every file, regardless of whether it's one you wanted to see or not, it's only the grep commands that shrink the output so you don't get thousands of files wizzing across your screen. You can of course accomplish the same thing with any number of strung together commands, it all depends on exactly what it is you'd like to see as the final output. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: App question
To redirect to a file, you use the greater than symbol before the filename I.E. lsout.txt The vertical bar | is used to string commands together. I.E. ls|grep zip will first list all the files, then pipe the output to the grep command, which will then check all the file names for zip, and only display those that have zip in the filename. If you want the final output in a file, then you can add out.txt to the end of the command line like this: ls|grep zipout.txt which will cause it to write the matches it found with grep into a file called out.txt hth.

Re: App question
No real command list, but you can get a partial listing by doing: ls /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin Not all of the files that show up in those folders are ones you can use outright, but most of them are. To get a listing of information about any particular command, you can use the man command. Man is short for manual. man ls will give you a few screens full of information about the ls command, what parameters are available, and various other tidbits of information. Failing that, there are a few sites with unix command-line tutorials, some are good, some are not, but all generally talk about the basic commands such as ls, cd, more, mkdir, touch, and grep. These are probably the most often used commands, so if you can get a handle on those, you'll have most of what you need to navigate terminal and get things done.

Re: a question about sharing files between two partitions
If you just want to share a folder on one partition to a folder on another partition, (or a single file) you might be out of luck. However, it's common practice on unix systems to mount several partitions into various places in the file system which of course makes those files available to the host os, regardless of where they may be on the drive. Most unix servers have multiple drives mounted in various locations on the file system, especially for backup or file serving purposes. On my linux box, I have 3 hard drives. One is the main drive, and mounted at the root of the file system. A second drive is mounted under the /home folder, thereby giving me an entire drive for user directories, and removing the most used piece of any server off the main drive. In addition, I have a third drive mounted under the /usr/local directory, thereby allowing me to put any programs I like in the /usr/ local/ folder, and the entire hiearchy will be completely independent of the main linux drive. If I were running this server for general internet usage, and I'd have various users logging in regularly, I'd probably add a fourth drive, and mount it in the /var/mail location, so that user email boxes wouldn't eat system resources that could otherwise be used for system specific functions. Much better than quotas, and the system won't crash if the drive gets full, since all the mail files are on their own drive, and thus won't affect the main system functionality. Beyond mounting entire drives, the only way to get files to show up in other locations (such as on other partitions) is to link the files into that location. However, this raises it's own set of issues, as depending on your unix version, permission settings, kind of link, and partition types, it's very possible that you won't be able to see the newly linked file. All of these issues are of course resolvable, but it helps to have knowledge of unix file systems before trying to do such a thing. Unfortunately, I don't have any links to tutorials or the like about unix file systems and how to care for and organize them, but a quick read of the mount umount ln and cp man pages (although rather dry reading in places) should give you a firm grounding in various file linkage methods. One note though, Do not use the mv command to move files from one partition to another under osx. Most unix versions handle this type of thing quite well, (first copying the file to the new device before removing it from the old one, or simply altering the file allocation table to point to the new file location if the file is on the same logical partition.) However, for some reason, osx does not always do this, and it is possible to lose a file entirely if mv commands are used cross device boundaries. Copying files of course does not have this problem. hth --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: iBooks
Anne (as always) offers excellent points on the ibook files. However, I have found that it's possible to simply use the unzip program (in terminal) to uncompress the ibook files. They are indeed simply epub books, but as with any other epub formatted ebooks, if they are encrypted, (and many of the ibooks are) you will not be able to make any sense out of them even after unzipping them, because their content will be encrypted by a method that is both complex and (slightly) nonstandard. (at least based on some poking around I've done). There is an iso standards document for epub formats, and it allows for encryption of content. I have been unable to reconcile the apple ibooks with said iso documents, though it's possible my understanding of the encryption/decryption method is incomplete, as that part of the document wasn't the easiest to follow. Most epub readers use prewritten libraries released by different manufacturers to do all the heavy lifting, and don't really write their own routines for this. My attempts to do so meat with very little success, and since it was more of a curiosity thing for me than anything else, I gave up on it and moved on to other more interesting reading. :) But, then again, I've rarely had much luck trying to write code to do things based on iso documentation, though I do have to say, the rfc documents are much better in this regard, I've had no trouble in many cases turning internet protocol documents into operational code. But anyway, I just wanted to let folks know they can unzip ibooks, and examine their contents, just don't expect to get usable results most of the time. :) hth. --- 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 the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

oyster books

It's largely a matter of changing the cursor type, and changing things to track that new type of cursor. It's relatively simple to modify settings on the fly too, if you're in a program like mutt, pine, or something similar that uses highlight tracking, the terminal has a setting for that, just change your cursor type, and all works well. Admittedly, it's irritating to have to keep switching back and forth, but since I don't have the latest osx, I can't work on a solution for that. I use terminal daily, and have very very few issues with it, and I'm still using leopard on this imac, though I have used snowleopard, and found few (if any) differences in terminal access. --- 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/.

usb sound card/microphone for under 5 bucks
The device I mentioned in a previous post is actually sold on Amazon (not ebay as I'd thought) and itcan be had for less than 5 bucks (us) It is a usb device with both earphone and microphone plugs on it, and it's as small as it can be and still fit the items on a single device. It simply plugs into a usb port on your mac (or pc too I guess, though I've never used it on a pc) and it is recognized by nearly all versions of osx. I had it working on a 10.5 version of leopard, though I've not tested it on 10.4 tiger. The url is kind of long, so if it wraps, please cut and paste the whole thing. Anyway, it's at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019SVUQK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8camp=1789creative=390957creativeASIN=B0019SVUQKlinkCode=as2tag=thsisne-20linkId=EWJ5J7JNJDMRLWRF I have absolutely no affiliation with this product other than the fact that I bought one, and we used it for several years until our intel mac mini died. As far as I know, the device still works, but it has been dropped off the desk several times since then, and the plastic outter casing has come off, but the circuit board and jacks are still as tight and firm as ever. I'd wager it'd work just fine even without it's casing, but all of our other computers work, so we've not plugged it in since the mini died, so can't say for sure. Just thought this would help some folks, since talk of microphones and usb devices have been on the list lately. --- 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: Can my mac manage a parallel port for embossing?
The serial converter usually creates it's own device. You'll need to look in the documentation to see what the device is called, but it's probably something like /dev/cuadevice.tty with device being the name of the usb converter product. Then, it's simple enough to echo to the device or copy to it as you already know. --- 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: putting cassettes on to my Mac
quicktime and a cable with 1/8 plug on both ends works just fine. Plug one end into your cassette player, the other end into your microphone on your mac (if your mac doesn't have one like the older ppc macs, then ebay has 6 dollar usb earphone jack/microphone jack combos) start quicktime, click record, then hit play on your cassette player. Wait for the tape to stop, edit tthe file to remove the blanks at the start and end, and you're all done. Export to format of your choice if you have uicktime pro, or just save and convert using switch if you don't. This is how I converted several audio books I had on cassette, and I had no trouble at all. --- 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: Olearia Daisy Book Reader
It depends on the software used to produce the daisy book, but in general, as long as the book isn't encrypted, you can play the mp3 files in any mp3 player. Of course, you loose the functionality of the daisy format in this case, but if you're just looking to get at the content, without regard for navigation via page/chapter/paragraph, then any old mp3 player will do the trick. This (again) assumes no encryption was used in creating the daisy books. Often the file names are not sequential, so there may be some hit or miss to see what file comes next, which is why I suggested using the smil file, just open it in quicktime, and all the chapters will be laid out quite nicely for you to pick and choose which one you'd like to listen to. I've seen daisy books with a single large file, and others with hundreds of files, and obviously, if you're hunting for a specific location, and you've got hundreds of files to churn through, it can be quite the chore, but it does work. I've only used daisy software once or twice to read daisy titles, most of the time, I just load the mp3 files into quicktime and go from there. hth. --- 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: Daisy files on the Mac
I don't know about newer versions of osx, but it used to be, that with quicktime (I don't think it was a pro only option) you could simply open the smil file for the daisy book in question, and quicktime would handle the book just fine. This assumes of course, there's no encryption to deal with, and the smil file was properly configured. I discovered this by accident way back in the tiger days when reading the hunt for red october which I had purchased on cd from brilliance audio. Since I'd purchased the mp3 cd, I copied it all to the computer, and went to see what was in the folder. I found the smil file, clicked, (more out of interest than anything else) and quicktime opened it right up, and gave me the list of chapters, all in their proper order. I don't use daisy format much, so I don't know if either quicktime or osx has changed this behavior, but just something for those who may be able to use this solution. --- 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: Mail forwarding, Can we avoid the unneeded info?
Seriously folks. When you forward an email, mail (by default) includes all the headers. This is so that if you're forwarding to an admin or something, and your problem is something to do with the message path, the admin will have all the info they need to track down the problem. It only takes a few seconds to shift-down arrow and highlight the parts you don't want forwarded, then just hit the delete button. Poof, no more headers in the forwarded message. I have no idea if there's a mail setting to restrict the forwarded headers or not, but even if there was, I'd not use it, because when trying to track down problems, the more the better. Admittedly, when forwarding to someone who isn't an admin, the extra headers are irritating and spammy, but that's why the delete key is there, use it. --- 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: IOS 7, probably the most buggy I've ever seen yet!
Yet another reason I refuse to update to ios 7. I'm still running 6.1.13, and will continue doing so until ios 7 works as well for everyone as 6 does for me now. I don't see that happening any time soon, so I guess I'll be on 6 for quite a while. Yes, some apps don't work, because they require version 7, but when one of those pop up, I simply delete it, and go find something else that does the job. I refuse to be forced into an upgrade that is going to cause me problems. And, with all that said, I have to wonde why it is folks still insist I need to upgrade to ios 7, then promptly tell me there's vo issues, but they're minor, and can easily be worked around. Why? I have no vo issues with 6, so why would I upgrade to something that doesn't work as well, and that even the staunchest suppors still claim has issues?

Re: Usability of Spotify
I don't use spotify. I don't remember why, but I had trouble with it when I tried to use it, though it may be user-id creation related or something, I honestly don't remember. I do have it on my phone, so apparently it was accessible enough to get it started, but there was something after it was loaded that made me ignore it every since.

Re: accessible website building solutions
Wordpress is free. It doesn't get any cheaper than that. Wordpress isn't what costs money, it's the hosting/domain name registration that costs.

Re: Downloading purchased audiobooks
Then, you should download your audio books from audible instead, that's where Itunes gets it's books anyway (or at least used to be) and they don't have any restrictions on how long they keep your books for you. You can download them whenever you like. There's still a book I purchased in 2000 that is on my shelf waiting for me to download it if I should ever have to again. Generally, Itunes is more expensive than audible anyhow, especially if you have a membership (even if it's just the $9.95 a year plan) so it's all around better to skip Itunes for audio books anyhow. --- 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: Radio Volume and VO Volume
One way to control sound is to pipe the audio through audio hijack. I regularly use audio hijack from Rogue Amoeba to provide me mute capabilities on apps that otherwise don't have them. For instance, although the mlb.com does have mute capabilities, I much prefer to use the one provided by audio hijack, because it means I don't have to go hunting for the mute button again after it gets pressed, since vo cursor doesn't always stay in one place on that page. Simply hijack the audio, but don't begin recording, and all of the functions of hijack audio are at your fingertips, the most often used of course which is the mute button. I use it a lot when watching flash content online, since vo can't talk to flash itself, it's real hard to mute audio for something, especially on those pages that insist you really want to hear what they have to say regardless of what you might think. Unfortunately, this method can't contro volume, but I thought it might be helpful anyhow. --- 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: Beginner's Questions The Web
Ellen, it might be easier for you to navigate the pages if you activate groups mode. In groups mode, vo combines web features into a single group, which get read all at once, so there's considerably less keypressing needed tonavigate your documents. I never use anything else. Most folks who don't use groups mode do so because they don't like the fact that you need to interact with the groups if you wish to click a link or navigate a table by rows/columns, but for me, this isn't even a consideration, because I find it a whole lot easier to move along until I find the piece I want, then interact, then go where I need to go, especially if I'm just reading a book or something, then all I need to do is press right arrow (I have the numpad commander turned on, andhave vo functions assigned to the arrow keys) and each right arrow press gets me the next chunk of text.

Re: Trouble with Siri ever since iOS 6
You're getting stuck in the status bar area of the screen, (all the way on the very top of the screen) I have experienced this too, and indeed, in hanging with friends, it happens nearly every time I watch someone guess my word. The simple solution is just to touch somewhere on the screen that isn't the status bar. I generally touch on the middle (or depending on how I'm holding the phone) the bottom of the screen, and all gestures behave again. It's only a minor irritation, so it doesn't bother me much. Just for reference, I'm using ios 6.13, having no desire to upgrade to ios 7 until I'm convinced it's 100 percent usable, and so far, from what I'm seeing, it's not quite there. --- 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: Reading eBraille Files On A Mac Or IOS Device
I just download the braille file, and use the nfb translator to backtranslate to ascii text. I then load it into text edit, and save as file format of my choice. Sometimes, cleanup is necessary (such as replacing 60 with exclamation point and quote, but generally the errors aren't enough to cause me major difficulties. --- 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: Terminal programs with voice-over
There's a post I made to the list a couple years ago with configurations that made vo work better for most terminal apps. I'm sure if you search the archives, you can find it easy enough. Esther has reposted it before when this topic came up, so it should be in a few posts. I don't have an up to date osx version, so it's possible things have changed some what since I wrote that post, but there is highlight tracking in terminal, and it works well with pine, which sounds like the same thing mutt does, so you may want to try turning on highlight tracking (it's in cursor types if I remember correctly) cursors can be highlight bar, pointer, etc. I can't be more specific than that without looking at a newer version of osx, and I can't do that until this weekend when we go to our nearest apple store which is nearly an hour away, so I'll check it then (if I remember to take headphones with me, that store is always loud). hth. --- 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: Terminal programs with voice-over
I'm not sure what you're asking here. The terminal program that comes with osx works just fine, Iuse it nearly every day. What specifically are you having trouble doing? Perhaps there's something that could be done to make your usability better. --- 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: DVD's on the Mac
The programs I use are mac the ripper (http://mactheripper.en.softonic.com/mac ) for ripping dvds, though I don't use the latest version of osx, so haven't had to fiddle with updating via the forums. And for extracting content (and moving to other formats) I use dvd remaster (http://www.macdvdripperpro.com/) has recently been acquired by a new company, with a new product, so I can't comment on how well (or not) it works anymore. It may be possible to download/register older versions, but I tend to doubt it. Sorry about that one, didn't realize this until I just went to look for the download link. And, for playing dvds, I use softcon dvd player (http://www.softcon.com/mac/ ) I don't have the latest version of osx, but I have reports it still works. With softcon dvd player, you can use the arrow keys to go to the next/previous tracks on the disk, 1-5 to switch between languages, and use up/down arrows to switch between tracks on the disc (such as separate tv episodes, deleted scenes, etc.) A combination of these three tools is what I've used for years to handle any and all of my dvd playing/ripping/converting needs. hth. --- 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: Sarchiver Utility
I'm an oddball, I don't really like graphical interfaces when it comes to archivers. Guess it's a hold over from my dos days. I have rar, arj, zip, gzip, and even several older ones like arc, zoo, lha, lzh and more. I'm somewhat of a packrat, and am always adding to my collection of archivers. When I run across one with source, it's all the better, since I compile it for osx, and linux, drop it on my various systems, and have yet another format I can now convert to modern formats. As a result, I'm not really a fan of all these pay programs to do the same thing I can do with free programs, especially since most source is free in the first place. I do however, have one graphical archiver program called the unarchiver. It integrates with finder, and will uncompress nearly anything when I click on it. It's no longer being supported, but sourceforge has the source, so anyone who wants to can use it for just about any purpose. It handles all of my finder archiving needs, and I've never run into a format I couldn't handle either with the unarchiver or my command-line tools, and I've not paid for any commercial solutions. I do currently hold legal registration codes for arj and rar, but that's just supporting the authors, of those formats, since those are the ones I use the most now, or in the past. I don't mind paying for stuff I use, but I do begrudge paying for functionality I already have, especially if it's something like a bunch of apple scripts packaged into a stand-alone app, just for the purpose of sale (which I've seen a number of times). I think folks should be made aware of what they're buying, and if it's simply packaged applescripts, they should know that. If they decide to purchase anyway, because it suits their purposes, all the better and no harm done, but it irks me to no end to pay funds for something just to find out it's something I already have/could have built on my own with an hour or so of effort. Again, I know I'm an oddball, and drastically in the minority here, but I honestly don't see the need to pay for programs that mimic functionality I or osx already have, and unfortunately, there's a lot of programs out there that are exactly that, copies of osx functionality, albeit with different face on it, and in my opinion, archiving programs fall into that category. Of course, I've always been interested in archiving technology, and have been collecting archive programs since the late 80s, so I'm not your average user in that regard, and some folks of course prefer the convenience of having things at their fingertips, and I understand that completely, it's only the companies that sell supposed solutions that don't add any value whatsoever to what already exists in osx and call it progress that irritate me. Obviously, this program does more than finder, with the hot keys and such, so I'm not referring to it specifically, only to these sorts of things in general. I've seen programs that cost 30 to 60 bucks that does nothing you can't already do with osx built-in functionality, and that's where folks get taken in, and I think it's a real shame. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now. Dunno if this helped anyone, but if anyone wants any of my archiving programs, just let me know. the unarchiver is available at google code (I thought it was on sourceforge) which means of course you can download it for free. You can find it at: https://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/ Hope this helps. --- 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/.
