Hi, Is there a way to quickly type Spanish symbols using the Mac? Also, is it possible to change the writing language of TextEdit to Spanish? Thanks.

Re: moving items to doc

Re: skype on the iphone
Hi Rebecca. I use Fring, which is an instant messaging/voice over ip app which includes skype. http://maccessibility.net/iphone/apps/# the maccessibility site is a brillint resource for all things Apple including Macs and IPhones. You can get a whole list of accessible apps for the iphone at http://maccessibility.net/iphone/apps/ Fring has a few unlabelled buttons, but it's fairly easy to guess what they are, for instance, if you need to dial a number, there is a numpad which just says 'button' on each one. You can press one of them and see what digit has been put in the display and basically count your way through the unlabelled buttons. Hope this helps?

Re: Typing Spanish characters
Dear Lindsay, In System Preference (which you will find in the dock) interact with the scroll area and choose language and text button. There you will find a few tabs that will help you customise various features to do with foreign languages. One of the tabs is input tab where you check the keyboards you wish to use. once you have checked them, they will appear in a menu on your menu bar which you activate with control+f8. Then you arrow left a few times, and there you will find your button. The keyboard which is currently active is immediately spoken. press down arrow to open your menu and arrow down and vo+spacebar on the keyboard layout you want. You can also use keyboard shortcut keys to file through your enabled keyboards and stop at teh one you wish. Hope this helps.

A possible solution to the Voice Over not responding when using certain options in Keyboard Commander
Hi folks, Firstly, thank you to Anna for telling me how to enable the option for hearing how many unread messages are in Mail via Keyboard commander. After experiencing the same issues as some list members where Voice Over would not respond after using a command I think I've found a solution. I use Fred as my default Voice Over voice, so make sure that your System voice is different from your favourite Voice Over voice and you should be able to use VO with these commands without any trouble.

Voice Over occasionally stops speaking in Text Edit
Hi list, Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? Occasionally in Text Edit, Voice Over will stop speaking or it will not allow you to edit text and the only way to fix this is to turn VO off and on again. It's quite annoying as sometimes you have to do this more than once. I will report this to Apple Accessibility, but I just wondered if anyone else was having the same issue?

Hi. I ordered my Iphone yesterday but I haven't received it yet. Damn I can't wait to get this thing. I tried it in a phone-shop, and I was really surprised. Wow it's cool.

Oh, and an other question: Is there a build-in spellchecker in the Iphone like on the Mac? I love that spellchecker.

Re: Typing Spanish characters
Another thing worth mentioning if you don't want to change back and forth between keyboard layouts is that you can use the option key. option+e then type a vowel and it puts an accent over it option+n and then type the n and it putes a tilde over it option+u and then type u and it puts a dialisis over it. option+shift+q? makes an inverted question mark option+1 makes an inverted exclamation mark. You might not like that voiceover still, even when localized in Spanish, does not read inverted questions and exclamations right.

Re: navigation questions
Hi Simon, Yay, they worked and now I know how to navigate quicker. :) I appreciate your help. I would still like to know how to page up and down. Especially when on a long pdf or web page. :) Christina On Sep 16, 2009, at 1:10 PM, Simon Cavendish wrote: Christina Dear Christina, you shouldn't feel embarrassed about not knowing these things. It took me an inordinate amount of time to work the navigation in text shortcut keys. Somehow they didn't seem to register in my mind. I came to mac from Windows and Jaws two years ago but it took me a long time to learn the key combinations you are asking for. Here is what I can do and remember. Others will surely chip in. 1. To jump to the beginning and end of line, press control + left arrow and right arrow respectively. Voiceover will helpfully say the word which is at the beginning or end of line and remember that when voiceover has said the word, it has just passed it. It's very reliable and with time you will learn to trust it. 2. To jump to the top row and bottom row of a table once you are interacting with it, press vo+shift+left or right arrow respectively. I hope I'm not getting it wrong. I don't do it that often but I remember Esther had helped me with that one. So try it and if it is wrong, please ask the list again. 3. To jump to the beginning or end of a document either in TextEdit or in the body of a mail message with which you need to interact, press command+up arrow or down arrow. I've never successfully managed to find and execute a way of jumping up and down the document by page although others on the list have suggested key strokes for that. So I hope that someone else will provide those. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Simon On 16 Sep 2009, at 20:53, Christina wrote: Hi List, I've had my macbook for a year and a half.

Re: Spanish Braille tables

No, the only TTS language is English, but your iPhone voice can read the text. Unfortunately, when you use the iPhone voice, you can't use the Play/Pause control. It would be worth contacting the developer to ask for other languages since the app uses the Acapela voices.

Re: navigation questions
Yo You are welcome, Christina. I too would like to know about page an down in TextEdit. As for PDF and in Preview, you have to go to your toolbar where after interacting with it you have previosu and next buttons you can press. I think there's a shortcut key for it in the menus but I tried it and it didn't work for me. It might be just me. Best wishes, Simon On 17 Sep 2009, at 20:57, Christina wrote: Hi Simon, Yay, they worked and now I know how to navigate quicker. :) I appreciate your help. I would still like to know how to page up and down. Especially when on a long pdf or web page. :) Christina On Sep 16, 2009, at 1:10 PM, Simon Cavendish wrote: Christina Dear Christina, you shouldn't feel embarrassed about not knowing these things. It took me an inordinate amount of time to work the navigation in text shortcut keys. Somehow they didn't seem to register in my mind. I came to mac from Windows and Jaws two years ago but it took me a long time to learn the key combinations you are asking for. Here is what I can do and remember. Others will surely chip in. 1. To jump to the beginning and end of line, press control + left arrow and right arrow respectively. Voiceover will helpfully say the word which is at the beginning or end of line and remember that when voiceover has said the word, it has just passed it. It's very reliable and with time you will learn to trust it. 2. To jump to the top row and bottom row of a table once you are interacting with it, press vo+shift+left or right arrow respectively. I hope I'm not getting it wrong. I don't do it that often but I remember Esther had helped me with that one. So try it and if it is wrong, please ask the list again. 3. To jump to the beginning or end of a document either in TextEdit or in the body of a mail message with which you need to interact, press command+up arrow or down arrow. I've never successfully managed to find and execute a way of jumping up and down the document by page although others on the list have suggested key strokes for that. So I hope that someone else will provide those. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Simon On 16 Sep 2009, at 20:53, Christina wrote: Hi List, I've had my macbook for a year and a half.

Re: play list instructions
Pete, I believe you should be able to find some good historic references, and I don't use play lists much right now... However I wanted to make sure you know there are two kinds of playlists 1. Manual These are static lists of songs you add from your main library and don't change unless you change them. Smart Play Lists: These are more dynamic, you could create a smart list of all songs by Peter, Paul and Mary that you have not heard in the last 60 days. Or you could create a smart play list of all songs in the album The Wall. In either case you would start by creating the appropriate List from the file menu of iTunes. With the Smart Play List, you then have to specify a set of rules and if you want all or any of the rules created to be used for your list.

why did my Ipod become corrupt? Anyone else experience this?
Hi listers, I received my Ipod touch on Tuesday, and everything was working fine last night. However, when I turned it on today, none of my installed apps would launch. I would double tap them, but the home screen would not go away, and the app refused to run. Long story short, I had to reset my Ipod by erasing everything and installing it all from scratch. If anybody is using a touch, have you had similar experiences? Also, what could have caused things to go wrong? Are you supposed to not use any applications when your Ipod is plugged into the computer charging? I was on a fring call when that occurred last night. And that's the only remotely feasible thing I can think of that caused data corruption. I'm interested to know your thoughts.
