Cd burning software for the mac
Hi all. Does anyone know of any cd burning software for the mac that works well with voiceover? I know there's simply burns but it's not being updated anymore and it's a shame nero don't make a version for the mac. Toast for the mac can be ruled out so what else is left? I recently heard of a product called discribe from www.charismac.com and unfortunately there's no trial version of this app and i'm not willing to spend 69 dollars to find out it may not work with voiceover. I'm also wanting an app that will work fine under snow leopard so if anyone knows of something that's similar to nero for windows on the mac please let us all know.

Re: RNIB streaming service?
I asked about that, hmm maybe 6 months ago now. The answer was a slightly puzzled no, as in they were slightly puzzled why I was using a mac lol.

From what I've seen, it might also be worth having a tinker with an existing daisy player in mac os too, all they're streaming is daisy format, so maybe we don't need to wait for them to do anything much. hth Scott On 8/26/09, william lomas lomaswill...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi all does anyone know if the RNIB plextalk player for the talking book streaming service will be made into a mac compatible program?

Re: iphone sdk documentation
I'm planning on getting into the iPhone SDK in the next week or two. I have an idea for an app which will be free (free as in freedom with a lower case f) and carry one of the gPL licenses and, of course, provide the source to anyone who wants it. I might charge a dollar or so on AppStore to handle the overhead but will not include any sort of copy protection so people can share it without paying me anything if they like. If you are interested in this sort of freedom oriented programing, you might check out www.gnu.org and www.progfree.org.

Re: Not seeing any of my gmail fioklders in mail.
Interesting, I have the reverse. I see folders I didn't create and would rather not have. I just created my gmail account recently. I'm used to IMAP with my mobileme acct and Outlook at work. But Gmail seems to have a mind of it's own. I have two folders that I can see, nothing new shows in them until I select them, then they populate. Things get sent to the SPAM folder and there is no rime or reason, and no filter that I can find doing it. I post to this list, it doesn't show up in the list mailbox I have. It does show up in All Mail, and sent. OK I see why it shows up in sent, but it should also show as an incoming email on the group. Guess I have to read more of the help files, is there one titled, black art of Gmail.

VO, drag and drop with ITunes.
Hi all, I have a lot of files I want to add to an ITunes library. Purely for experimental purposes, I tried to use drag-and-drop with VO to do this. However the files don't seem to be coming across. Could anyone think of any reasons why this should be the case? For example, if someone could assist me in determining whether the files are highlighted and selected in the first place it would be great. Also, is there anywhere specific I should drop the files in the ITunes window? I can of course do this using the add to library menu option, but I'd like to learn this technique. thanks, Dónal --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Not seeing any of my gmail fioklders in mail.
Are you talking about Gmail mail labels? I assume you are using iMap... When you create the GMail account, there will be a entry in the mailbox table with the account name of the gMail account. When you expand this you will see all your Gmail labels as folders here. You should configure the specialized folders under the gmail sub folder as appropriate. This configuration is done by selecting the folder and then using the menu item Mailbox-Use_this_mailbox_as item. This will hide that mailbox from the folder below and make it appear under the Inbox, Trash, Junk, Sent or Drafts folders. Some suggestions I have gleaned: 1. Do not save drafts on the server as gmail has a tendency to save multiple copies. 2. Consider carefully what you do with the SPAM gmail folder. Gmail has its own very good spam filtering abilities, and if you have Apple Mail push items to the Spam folder, automatically, then GMail automatically reports these messages as spam. So if Apple Mail gets something wrong here, it could cause headaches for people that are sending you e-mail. 3. If you have gmail accepting multiple from addresses, including them in the mail setup as a comma separated list is a good idea as this will allow you to send out via GMail.

I cant connect to the internet htough. I use a cable modem and udner windows i can just push in the network cable and I am ready to go. Not so now htough.

feeling pretty disgusted with Apple at the moment
Hi all, For the benefit of anyone else who may be trying to get the promised discount on SL ... I've just spent 2 hours online, trying to preorder at the $10 price. I have been unable to get anything but the $29 price. Right on Apple's site, they say you can also purchase via telephone by calling 1800-myapple. But, when you call them, they are utterly worthless. They tell you they cannot take orders, and that you must purchase online, or fax them a copy of your order. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told that that was not an option. Finally, I called my local store, to see if they could help. Fortunately, they're very nice folks, and the manager agreed to let me come in and pick it up in the store on Friday for the $10 price. However, I should never have had to work so hard to give Apple my money, even if it is just $10, especially given the high degree of user/customerfriendliness on which Apple prides itself. So, yes, there is a purpose to this message other than my rant. If you are a new user, and want to get the $10 price, my suggestion would be to just skep the whole online debacle, and just contact your store.

Re: VO, drag and drop with ITunes.
To drag and drop, first put the vo cursor on the item you want to drag. You will know if it is high-lited when you here the click sound. That tells you that keyboard focus is tracking vo. Route the mouse to vo with vo-cmd-f5. Lock the mouse with vo-shft-cmd-space. Move vo where you want to drop and rout the mouse to vo. Press vo-shft-cmd-space to unlock the mouse. I've found drag and drop with vo to be very problematic. It seems that that routing the mouse to vo often doesn't place it in just the write place when dropping and the drop doesn't occur. I usually can turn mouse keys on by pressing the option five times and moving the mouse a few positions. On Aug 26, 2009, at 8:30 AM, Donal Fitzpatrick wrote: Hi all, I have a lot of files I want to add to an ITunes library. Purely for experimental purposes, I tried to use drag-and-drop with VO to do this. However the files don't seem to be coming across. Could anyone think of any reasons why this should be the case? For example, if someone could assist me in determining whether the files are highlighted and selected in the first place it would be great. Also, is there anywhere specific I should drop the files in the ITunes window? I can of course do this using the add to library menu option, but I'd like to learn this technique. thanks, Dónal --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Not seeing any of my gmail fioklders in mail.
Hello John and Matthew, This has been posted to the list before (by Jonathan?), but there is a TidBITS article by the author of the Take Control of Apple Mail in Leopard guide that explains the way that Gmail works. It's called Achieving Email Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail and can be found at: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10253 One of the features of the Gmail flavor of using IMAP, is that Gmail doesn't use different mailboxes or folders per se -- instead, it assigns multiple tags or labels. The problem of getting labels-as- mailboxes to sync locally and also to archive mail is described in detail in this rather long article. This is also behind the issue of why messages you post to the list don't show up in a list mailbox. There's a final section on How to Configure Everything for Maximum Happiness if you want to skip past all the explanations. This describes the way the author has set up his own Gmail account. There are other described setups and explanations floating around the net. For example, there is this article from the ExpanDrive blog titled Setup Gmail IMAP, Mail.app, and the iPhone with Archive: http://blog.expandrive.com/2008/11/17/setup-gmail-imap-mailapp-and-the-iphone-with-archive/ The salient feature of this set up is that everything the author deletes locally gets archived forever on Gmail. (I'm pretty sure that most of you don't want to set up your accounts that way). Here's his description: begin quote I’m going to explain how to setup Gmail to work the right way with Mail.app and the iPhone. “Right”, of course, means “the way I want it to work.” In particular, this means that I want “deleting” something in my client to make it “archived” in Gmail for eternity. I almost never want an email to be deleted forever. I also want Sent Messages and Drafts to work in a reasonable way, but delete - archive is the big one for me. end quote One of the tricky items of this article is that the author includes a .png graphic of his settings, however, if you read the text, he is using all the same settings that are recommended by Gmail in the link he gives, except for changing their Sent mail option to store sent mail on the server and never delete it. Similarly, for the iPhone setup in the Advanced menu for his selected mail account, he is changing the settings to keep deleted mail on his iPhone and never remove them. Both these articles, their links, and the comments that follow them made for interesting reading, but I would stick to Joe Kissell's TidBITS article if you want to achieve Email bliss. And if you want to read the TidBITS Talk discussion comments here's the link that comes up so that you don't have to run a search on their site: http://emperor.tidbits.com/TidBITS/Talk/2639 Note that the TidBITS Talk page only shows the most recent posts on this fairly active thread for comments. If you want to start reading comments from the beginning, look for the All Messages link, and VO- Space on that.

I just created my gmail account recently. I'm used to IMAP with my mobileme acct and Outlook at work. But Gmail seems to have a mind of it's own. I have two folders that I can see, nothing new shows in them until I select them, then they populate. Things get sent to the SPAM folder and there is no rime or reason, and no filter that I can find doing it. I post to this list, it doesn't show up in the list mailbox I have. It does show up in All Mail, and sent. OK I see why it shows up in sent, but it should also show as an incoming email on the group.

Re: SL Question
i there Angel, how are you doing? Hope all is well for you. In regards to your Snow Leopard Question, here is how the licensing works. Single User This is the default one most people buy if they have one computer they wish to upgrade. This is the one selling for 30 dollars, will upgrade one computer only. Family Pack This is Snow Leopard, retailing at 49 dollars, and you are allowed to install it on 5 computers. There is another package.. but it is like 500 dollars, for a huge licensing allowance. Hope this helps out. Take care.

Re: feeling pretty disgusted with Apple at the moment
Hi Donna, Were you trying to make your purchase through the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-to-Date page? http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ If you use that page (or just Google on Snow Leopard uptodate or Snow Leopard update) you should be able to fill in the information on line. You need to supply the serial number and date of purchase of your machine. The link brings up a window telling you how to find the serial number from the About this Mac entry on the Apple Menu. When they tell you to Double-click the version text for the operating system, use VO-Shift-Space by holding down Control-Option-Shift keys and tapping space twice quickly. You may have to move off and on this field to hear it updated. Then use VO-Shift-C to copy the serial number information to pasteboard, and Command-V to paste it. Use TextEdit as an intermediate step, so you can strip off the announced Serial Number prefix before inserting serial number into the form.

She also asked me when I purchased my Mac. I told her June 5 from amazon.com. She even looked up my Macs searial number. Told me exactly where to find it.

You know, when it comes to FireVox you have the source code so you could have added the feature you wanted, shared your work with the community and solved your problem all in one action. Also, Chen, author of FireVox, works at Google and is real nice about adding features and other stuff to the plug-in.

Re: my macbook pro is here, problems with internet
There is a network setup dialog which I (though I am an Internet engineer) found very easy to use. Generally if you are connecting directly to a DSL modem then you just need to enable PPPOE. If you are connecting to a cable modem, then the problem is probably that your modem is locked on your old computer's ethernet card. Take the power off and then on for modem and see if that solves the problem. You can reach me at oncohnfairfax on skype for more help.

Hi, I've used Pages just a bit. It seems to be mostly accessible, though a few controls don't speak. I could select Blank Document from the list of templates, and the items on the menu speak. I haven't tried to do anything complicated, though. Commands like moving to the next bold text don't work, but I've heard that's supposed to be better in Snow Leopard.

Right, but were you getting the $10 price? It sounds like you can purchase either online or over the phone for $29, you just can't get the $10 price.

You need to supply the serial number and date of purchase of your machine. The link brings up a window telling you how to find the serial number from the About this Mac entry on the Apple Menu.

Re: my macbook pro is here, problems with internet
Strange. The Macs and PCs use the same DHCP protocols to get an address. Is this going right from the router to the Mac or do you have a firewall/NAT/wireless thing inbetween. If it is direct then sometime the cable modem reads the hardware address of your computer and needs a full power cycle to let go and read a new one.

Re: firefox
As I recall, we did not try to combine VO with Firefox (and the FireVox extension). IIRC, FireVox on its own was able to read content shown on the Firefox window aloud, which was what we were looking for at the time. I don't remember whether we ran into any other issues when trying it out, though - but I will try to install it again, and play with it a bit, then report back.

Re: has anyone tried neooffice with vo?
Hmmm. I thought NeoOffice and OpenOffice were different products. Originally OpenOffice used X11 (a unix windowing system) and NeoOffice used Java to do the UI from the OpenOffice base code. More recently openOffice came out with an Aqua version which uses native UI APIs instead of X11. Here is one comparison site: http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/NeoOffice_Feature_Comparison In their table for support of Mac OSX accessibility framework they have a red x which implies that voiceover support isn't there.

Re: Not seeing any of my gmail fioklders in mail.
Hi, I read the artical. The only problem I see is that I do not see the expander triangal that he sppoke of in the artical. How do I find this in vo. Matthew On 8/26/09, Esther mori...@mac.com wrote: Hello John and Matthew, This has been posted to the list before (by Jonathan?), but there is a TidBITS article by the author of the Take Control of Apple Mail in Leopard guide that explains the way that Gmail works. It's called Achieving Email Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail and can be found at: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10253 One of the features of the Gmail flavor of using IMAP, is that Gmail doesn't use different mailboxes or folders per se -- instead, it assigns multiple tags or labels. The problem of getting labels-as- mailboxes to sync locally and also to archive mail is described in detail in this rather long article. This is also behind the issue of why messages you post to the list don't show up in a list mailbox. There's a final section on How to Configure Everything for Maximum Happiness if you want to skip past all the explanations. This describes the way the author has set up his own Gmail account. There are other described setups and explanations floating around the net. For example, there is this article from the ExpanDrive blog titled Setup Gmail IMAP, Mail.app, and the iPhone with Archive: http://blog.expandrive.com/2008/11/17/setup-gmail-imap-mailapp-and-the-iphone-with-archive/ The salient feature of this set up is that everything the author deletes locally gets archived forever on Gmail. (I'm pretty sure that most of you don't want to set up your accounts that way). Here's his description: begin quote I’m going to explain how to setup Gmail to work the right way with Mail.app and the iPhone. “Right”, of course, means “the way I want it to work.” In particular, this means that I want “deleting” something in my client to make it “archived” in Gmail for eternity. I almost never want an email to be deleted forever. I also want Sent Messages and Drafts to work in a reasonable way, but delete - archive is the big one for me. end quote One of the tricky items of this article is that the author includes a .png graphic of his settings, however, if you read the text, he is using all the same settings that are recommended by Gmail in the link he gives, except for changing their Sent mail option to store sent mail on the server and never delete it. Similarly, for the iPhone setup in the Advanced menu for his selected mail account, he is changing the settings to keep deleted mail on his iPhone and never remove them. Both these articles, their links, and the comments that follow them made for interesting reading, but I would stick to Joe Kissell's TidBITS article if you want to achieve Email bliss. And if you want to read the TidBITS Talk discussion comments here's the link that comes up so that you don't have to run a search on their site: http://emperor.tidbits.com/TidBITS/Talk/2639 Note that the TidBITS Talk page only shows the most recent posts on this fairly active thread for comments. If you want to start reading comments from the beginning, look for the All Messages link, and VO- Space on that.

Seeking VoiceOver users to test Infovox iVox voices in foreign languages
Hi, As you may have read we will release Infovox iVox 2.0 for Snow Leopard compatibility as public beta later this week. Not all languages will be available at once as we do want to make sure that each language receives basic testing before it is made available as part of the public beta. If there are major issues with a particular language we would like those issues to be discovered before the language is put in public beta so that it will not affect a large number of users. If you are interested in contributing to these private tests please contact me off-list. We need at most 2 testers per language (on first come-first serve basis). There is no remuneration for this testing. We expect you to do serious stress testing of the voices with VoiceOver. We are looking for people who already own an Infovox iVox license (i.e. know the product well), who know the Mac and VoiceOver well, who read and write English well and who enjoy testing new things. Only for Arabic, which is a completely new language with iVox 2.0 you do not need to already own an iVox license. Finally, we need feedback within 24-48 hours of you receiving access to the voices. Testing should take place on Leopard and if you have access to it also on Snow Leopard. To express your interest send an email to supp...@assistiveware.com with the subject iVox 2 testing and in the contents mention at the very least the language(s) you want to test, your current Infovox iVox activation code(s), your mother tongue, the Mac OS X versions you plan to test on and your computer model. We are looking for two testers for each of the following languages: American Spanish Canadian French French German Italian Dutch Flemish Spanish Portuguese Brazilian Portuguese Danish Norwegian Finnish Swedish Arabic Turkish Czech Greek Russian Polish Final note, I may not be able to get back to you immediately as we will first focus on the most used languages and then move to the less common languages.

Re: program to split a 6 gig dmg in to 2 dvds?
If this is an installer, I don't think you can split it. DMG files get mounted up as disk drives and so the installer can and will seek for files all over the virtual disk. There is no requirement that they pull in all the files from one and then move to the rest. There are lots of ways to split a file in pieces, but you'll have to combine them together before you can use it. If they are just data files then there is no need for the DMG. Beyond that you would need to have intimate knowledge of which files are needed when and make a custom installer, probably beyond the scope of work you wanted to tackle.

Re: my macbook pro is here, problems with internet

Re: Not seeing any of my gmail fioklders in mail.
On Aug 26, 2009, at 10:50 AM, Jonathan C. Cohn wrote: Are you talking about Gmail mail labels? I assume you are using iMap... Yes the lables that show up when looking at the interface. I have created them in mail. When you create the GMail account, there will be a entry in the mailbox table with the account name of the gMail account. When you expand this you will see all your Gmail labels as folders here. There is no way to expanded it it just says gmail as that is what is called in mail. You should configure the specialized folders under the gmail sub folder as appropriate. This was already done. This configuration is done by selecting the folder and then using the menu item Mailbox-Use_this_mailbox_as item. This will hide that mailbox from the folder below and make it appear under the Inbox, Trash, Junk, Sent or Drafts folders. Agaiin the gmail account only shows that the toop level. how ever the sent messages trash exc show up under the gmail account. If expanding this it shows that folder for each account. I don't even see my own lables I created. Some suggestions I have gleaned: 1. Do not save drafts on the server as gmail has a tendency to save multiple copies. 2. Consider carefully what you do with the SPAM gmail folder. Gmail has its own very good spam filtering abilities, and if you have Apple Mail push items to the Spam folder, automatically, then GMail automatically reports these messages as spam. So if Apple Mail gets something wrong here, it could cause headaches for people that are sending you e-mail. I have junk mail filtering off in mail. 3. If you have gmail accepting multiple from addresses, including them in the mail setup as a comma separated list is a good idea as this will allow you to send out via GMail.

Re: feeling pretty disgusted with Apple at the moment
Hi James, I'm so glad you had such a great experience. It sounds like Apple has had problems with the website. Hopefully those have been resolved.

I've just spent 2 hours online, trying to preorder at the $10 price. I have been unable to get anything but the $29 price. Right on Apple's site, they say you can also purchase via telephone by calling 1800-myapple. But, when you call them, they are utterly worthless. They tell you they cannot take orders, and that you must purchase online, or fax them a copy of your order. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told that that was not an option. Finally, I called my local store, to see if they could help. Fortunately, they're very nice folks, and the manager agreed to let me come in and pick it up in the store on Friday for the $10 price. However, I should never have had to work so hard to give Apple my money, even if it is just $10, especially given the high degree of user/customerfriendliness on which Apple prides itself. So, yes, there is a purpose to this message other than my rant. If you are a new user, and want to get the $10 price, my suggestion would be to just skep the whole online debacle, and just contact your store.

Adobe Accessibility
Hi folks, Recently, there was a post I think on here about a patition to ask Adobe to increase its support for accessibility on the Mac platform. This may interest folks on here. According to the NVDA website, Adobe have provided a grzant to improve NVDA's sup[ort for PDF and Flash. I'm not posting this to start a a bad mouthing session about Adobe or Windows etc but just as a point of interest. Adobe are taking steps even though perhaps not on the Mac but who knows... a little bit of gentle coaxing may do wonders. Does anyone know who to contact to discuss accessibility at Adobe?

update on $10 upgrade to SL
Hi all, Following Esther's message, I decided to take another run at upgrading, since what she said coincided with what I had been told from the guy at my local apple store.. this time, when I pulled up the page, it came right up, justas the person at the Apple storehad described. So who knows. Given what Anna posted, it sounds like I'm not the only one who experienced this glitch, but hopefully the site is back up to stay.

Re: my macbook pro is here, problems with internet
I know for another provider at another location I actually had to call them to get the MAC address unstuck from my cable modem so I could plug in another computer. Maybe it has your laptop's MAC address stuck in there or they only allow access from certain MAC addresses. Did the power cycle help any?

Re: switching graphics card, macbook pro
This is correct. To switch between the NVIDIA 9400M to the 9600M GT and back you need to make the change in the energy saver preferences and then log out and back in again. Engadget was complaining that the chipset doesn't require this and the Sony laptops just have a button which requires no login/out process. http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/macbook-pro-requires-logout-to-switch-graphics-modes/ CB Jonathan C.
