Re: [Mac-Access]: enough!
In the interest of continuity, if the list owner cannot run the list, it probably needs to be migrated to a general email list service provider where service is relatively free of uptime issues such as we have experienced and transferred to another list administrator who has the time to dedicate to it. I cannot comment on any other services being hosted by the owner. This list has many dedicated contributors and it would be a shame to lose it simply because of the inability to configure a personal server. These services are basically available similar to home appliances these days. There is not an awful lot of configuration necessary to simply administer an email list in 2015. It's quite uncomplicated. With Google Groups, Yahoo, and many other services such as publicly available Mailman and other list managers, there is no need to go through painful singular configuration to make an email list quite functional and responsive without constant user surveys related to whether migration is desired, etc. Maybe some of the frustration is related to the apparent lack of automation of the user-based administration of list subscription and configuration options that are quite expected on most email lists. Spectacular server crashes are a thing of the past of the proper backup procedures are in place. I used to administer a list of approximately 700 subscribers with about four hours per week of dedication. That certainly can vary and I'm not necessarily trying to draw a direct comparison. I hate to post this directly to the list since I know it's not proper etiquette but I'm frankly tired of getting the long-winded depositions about the status of something that really shouldn't be a problem or the cryptic meanderings about anticipated/unanticipated issues with services unrelated to this list that I don't care about. Services related to the list should probably be separate from any web hosting ventures if the reliability is going to be so suspect. This should not be quite as complicated as it seems to be. Backup the user database on a schedule and change providers accordingly, if necessary., and hopefully very infrequently I know what it's like to run into issues with administering a list. At this point, it seems to be a little unreasonable. It should be an extremely rare occasion when you can't get an immediate backup of the list subscribers but must continuously poll the list for who is subscribed and who wishes to remain. My suggestion is to shoot for some continuity for a while using whatever mechanism will accomplish it and restore the faith of the subscribers. Things have become a little strange here. Right now, when I visit mac-access.net http://mac-access.net/, I am confronted with a raw incarnation of SurgeMail. Jack of all trades is master of none and I'll stay subscribed unless I anger the owner and he actually takes the initiative to manually unsubscribe me. Nevertheless, I'm sick of the duplicate messages, general unreliability, and misadministration of this list. I understand that there may be legitimate reasons why there have been problems but we're all still here. If it's not working and is not going to work, let someone handle it who can do so. Web hosting and other services are unrelated and should not be addressed here unless the subject applies to most subscribers. I have tremendous respect for those who cull through the countless spam and other administrivia required to manage a healthy email list. Right now, this one does not appear to be healthy.

Re: [Mac-access]: Finally installed Windows on the MacBook Pro
Brian - Is your VMWare Fusion updated to the most recent version? Unfortunately, JAWS and Windows using a virtual machine isn't quite as good a performer as with bootcamp. However, I really do not tend to encounter the issue you mention very often at all. It did occur more frequently in the past but Fusion updates have improved it. I have tinkered with the amount of memory allocated to the VM and have found that, for me, 4 GB works well. I have dedicated one processor core. This is on a Macbook Air mid-2013 with 8 GB of total memory. I am using VMWare Fusion Version 6.0.6 (2684343). You have probably purchased version 7 since you are a new user, so this is obviously going to be a difference.

Sometimes, the screen reader will miss the first syllable of a word for example. I did allocate what I thought was enough memory for the Windows side. My questions are: If I get a USB soundcard to connect to it, is this likely to resolve the problem, or is this just one of the consequences of running it in a virtual machine? Is there a way of using the virtual machine configuration and convert it to bootcamp instead or do I have to start over and install again from the DVD media I have? Thanks for any help.

Re: [Mac-access]: Bootcamp V. VMWare Fusion
Disk space can be adjusted so there is no need to allocate more than necessary. with regard to Fusion When I first switched to the Mac, I was convinced that I would really need bootcamp so I got everything ready, setup the bootcamp so that it was ready for the Windows install, and headed off to the Apple Store to try to get them to help me. I was able to do so but it was with reluctance. They told me they were not supposed to help me install Windows, and I think if I had not been completely prepared, they would not have done so. I wouldn't count on that kind of assistance, and I doubt it has anything to do with whether one is in the UK or anywhere else. Still, it might be worth a try if you are desperate which I was. Before I installed bootcamp, I had purchased VMWare Fusion since I knew I could install Windows unassisted. So I already had Fusion and Windows running. I admit that the bootcamp version of Windows ran better than the virtual machine, but the virtual machine runs well enough and has improved with updated versions of Fusion. Within a month or so, I decided to remove the bootcamp partition for two reasons: 1. I have a Macbook Air with only 256 GB of SSD, and 2. I really like the ability to use both the Mac OS and Windows simultaneously. This was more important than the ability too boot into Windows. So I removed bootcamp to reclaim some space. I generally have not regretted removing the bootcamp partition. Fusion works well enough for my Windows. needs On Apr 27, 2015, at 4:32 PM, David Griffith daj.griff...@gmail.com wrote: Personally if I started from scratch on a new Mac I would not bother with Boot Camp and would rely upon Fusion. I think it is 2 years since I booted into Boot Camp. Having said that there are some reasons why you may need Boot camp. 1. Hardware support. It is possible that some hardware will not necessarily play nicely with Fusion. Mainstream devices should be fine but for example I could never get my specialist VIP hardware EyePal scanner to work under Fusion. As I now use this on a Windows machine this does not matter for me but may be an issue if Fusion is your only Windows option. 2. Resources. Actually I find a Fusion Virtual Machine pretty fast on a Mac but theoretically all resources are available to a Boot Camp install so should be more powerful. However as I say my Fusion installs seem fast enough and certainly boots up faster than Boot Camp. I would recommend that if you go the Fusion route you modify at the outset the Ram and processor cores available to your Fusion VM as the default is pretty skimpy. Actually if you go the Boot camp route you should also increase the max disk space allocated as this is also skimpy by default. It is important to in Fusion that you settle down your processor core and memory allocation at the beginning as otherwise this will create possible activation issues for your windows install and certainly Jaws. I routinely use NVDA until this is all sorted out. David Griffith On 27/04/2015 06:55, Brian Hartgen wrote: Hi I received my first Mac on Saturday.

Re: [Mac-access]: Iphone 5 or 4S
I don't think the recall was strictly because the battery originally had a poor life. I think it may have been because its life decreased more quickly than it should have. When I got mine replaced approximately a year into use, I noticed a real difference. I used it heavily enough that I needed to charge daily. I still needed to charge daily with the replacement phone, but it was a little better. I used that phone for an additional year before upgrading to the 6 Plus. The battery life is definitely much, much better with the 6 Plus. As an example, with the 6 Plus and a full charge, I can use BARD mobile for an hour and the charge still reads 100%. The 6 Plus seems to be really efficient at certain functions like playing audio. However, there are certainly features of the 5S that would make me choose it over the 5 if I had a choice right now. The 5S processor is better and supports 64-bit and it also has a fingerprint reader. I'm sure the replacements we were getting for the iPhone 5 were reconditioned so I don't doubt that someone may have gotten a battery that worked more poorly than the one it replaced. But for me, the replacement came at just the right time because I was starting to have to supplement my daily charge with a few sips throughout the day. I can sometimes use the 6 Plus for two days and still have 40 percent or more. However, if I use GPS/location services, that is definitely not the case. As I mentioned, I think there are certain functions where the 6 Plus and probably the 6 as well are really very efficient. And there are other areas where battery drain is extreme. But if I had a choice between a 5 and 5S right now, I would choose the 5S without a second thought.

Re: [Mac-access]: reading Tweets in YoruFukurou
Let me know if pressing the zoom button works for you. It definitely does not solve this problem for me. But I cannot find anyone who agrees and is continuing to have this problem of only partial tweets being read, especially in the bottom part of the timeline. Some say they have had the problem before and are no longer experiencing it. I can't get it to go away. On Feb 24, 2015, at 4:06 PM, Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net wrote: Hi!

Re: [Mac-access]: YoruFukurou help
Catherine - It is possible for the drawer to be set to show on either the left or the right. Unfortunately, I cannot remember which it it is set to by default. The reason I am mentioning Command D is not to get to the drawer but to toggle it. I gathered that the reason you may not have been able to find it is that it was not enabled. If enabled, Command Option apostrophe will get you there.

Re: [Mac-access]: Getting to a Link in an sms message
Matthew - I did not indicate that Facebook is trying to sell me something via text message. I simply said they are spamming me. When they politely ask you to add a number, they do it under the deceptive pretense that it's for your own security. The reality is that they want to inundate you with every status update and photo album post. And they tell you that it is easy to stop all this. I think one of the first messages they send is the helpful missive that you can reply with stop and they will cease. This may not work. While it may be possible to control the verbosity of SMS messages Facebook choses to spew just because one adds a phone number, I think the process is deceptive. I have grown tired of trying to find just the right setting to stop even the emails and have no confidence I will be able to disable the text messages. So I think the best solution is to simply remove the mobile number I added under the assumption that it would add some security to my account. The reason I warned you about this is that I thought you had not yet found a way to respond to the confirmation. If you are satisfied with the results of adding the mobile number, then I'm glad you were able to get it added. On Nov 19, 2014, at 3:54 PM, Matthew Chao mattc...@verizon.net wrote: Hi, Jeff.

Re: My turn with a 10.10 question: iCloud drive
From what I understand, you can see all the files on the Mac, but the only way to access them on the phone is by using a supported app to open the files.

Re: Shell Script Query

Just use Command I to get info and possibly expand the disclosure triangle for Sharing and Permissions if you feel more comfortable trying to do it that way.

I can’t share any specifics at this point owing to an NDA. But the developers say you need to be logged in as “Root” in order to install it. Presumably, this relates to the permissions issue which you raise in your post. Once the app is installed, you can do everything from your own account so hopefully, it should only be necessary to do this once. This has actually cause me quite a lot of frustration all day because I need to get this done, and my woeful lack of Terminal experience is letting me down badly yet again. I learned a few things when I installed and configured Snow Leopard Server. But that was about fifty million years ago, and I’ve probably forgotten most or all of it owing to the fact that I’ve allowed myself to become very lazy in terms of installing software. OK, so let’s go back to your post. I can play the app anywhere on the system, so if I log in as root, it can probably sit in the root directory of the hard disk if that makes things simpler?

Kindest regards Gordon On 7 Sep 2014, at 20:41, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hello Gordon, Shell scripts don't execute when invoked unless you have changed file permissions on your system to allow them to execute. 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. The -p switch preserves the permissions of the file you are copying, which includes executable status for shell script files.

Hi Jeff, Through some trial and error with JFW in Fusion, I found a couple interesting things when working on a Mac keyboard with no number pad. What I found was that when in Windows in Fusion, turn on keyboard help with Capslock+1 on the number row so you can play. FN+semicolon, This should activate the JAWS cursor. FN+slash This will activate the PC cursor. FN +CapsLock+semicolon This is the route PC to JAWS FN +CapsLock+slash This will route Jaws to PC Experiment with FN + the keys on the righthand side of the keyboard . What is happening is that the FN key + the keys on the righthand side of the keyboard are acting as a numpad. So, you can also find the combos to right and left click and page up/pagedown just like on the numpad. I do find this to be a pain and will take some getting used too, but, it does work. Try it out and good luck. Hope this helps.

I have a MacBook Pro running Fusion. I use Seil and Karabiner to remap my caps lock key to the Insert key. I use SharpKeys to flip my alt and window key mappings and all of this is working as I expect, with one exception… I normally use a full sized Apple keyboard while at the office with a numeric keypad on the right. So, this means that the caps lock key doesn’t play a role here for the most part and everything works well for me using the JAWS desktop layout. I have found that if I use the insert key on the numeric keypad or the caps lock key while in Laptop mode that none of the keys past the J key work. Meaning, I can do things like insert-t, caps lock plus s, etc., etc. but anything on the right-hand side of the keyboard doesn’t work. Something interesting to note is that the laptop keys don’t work whether using caps lock or the insert key on the numeric keypad past the letter J. Has anyone run into this issue at all? If so your advice is hugely appreciated. I am wondering if the newer versions of Karabiner or Seil have broken something here?

Re: Navigating tables wasRe: Accessible iPhone WEB browser.
Hmm. I'll try this next time I want to read a table. But I have to say that the table navigation is so poor with the column weirdness that I'm glad I don't have to use a Mac in a work environment. I love it for what it does well but can't understand why there are not more incremental improvements with new releases of the OS. We really need to somehow get to a point where VO can be enhanced/fixed without an operating system update but I realize this may never happen.

I hate qn for some reason, and yes I know how to use it. lol! I did some materials on it, but I personally don't use it.

Go to a table by pressing either t or vo-command-t. 3. Use the rotor command until you find navigation. Rotor is left-up or right-up. 4. Now press either up or down by itself and see if you can navigate the table better.

If you do reverse navigation on your Audible library book list table. It moves to the colin on the right as you move up by a row. It doesn’t keep you in the same column. This is one of many issues I have with it. Google Chrome really works nicely on the Mac. Only problems I have with it is that you cannot activate links when you are in the table mode. Also I have not yet worked out how to copy links or if a link refers to a document/file. You cannot download it, rather then opening it. This is something you can do on Windows browsers. I haven’t check this with Safari on the Mac. The biggest thing I feel that goes for Chrome on the Mac is the search feature. This is really powerful. Nothing else does this. IOS safari also isn’t a pleasant experience. It works fine with simple pages. But I have found it doesn’t activate all fields or links. Try to sign in using Audible as an example. I have not yet seen if Chrome is any better.

Instabrowser, atonicweb etc but like what has been stated before none are able to be your default browser. It depends what you want to use it for.
