Re: voicover being crashy
Try restarting your mac. This will hopefully fix the voiceover issue. If not, then, reinstalling the os will be your last resort.

Re: voicover being crashy
Hi Anouk, I haven't used Pages much, but I find TextEdit's search facility, accessed with Command-F, works better than the VO one. Command-G is Find Next. I believe the same controls are used in Pages. Best, Anna --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Which MacBook To Buy?
Debra, I have the 13 Macbook Pro 2.25 ghz (the $1199 one) and its' trackpad does work with Voiceover. I've not quite gotten used to all the Trackpad Commander functions though. Hope this helps.

Re: The iPod Touch...
Answer to question 1: You cannot get music from two different computers and put them on one iPhone or touch. Each computer you connect a device to will recognize it and tell you there is a library from another machine and ask if you wish to replace it. Answer to question 2: There is no camera on the ipod touch so any thought of being a photo journalist must be put on hold.

Re: The iPod Touch...
Hi. It's worth noting that even though the ipod touch does not contain a built-in microphone, there is a mic in the ear buds you get with the touch.

Re: The iPod Touch...
Hi, The headset with the built-in mic for recording that comes with the iPod Touch appears to be the same one that was sold for voice recording with the iPod Nano 4G that was released at the beginning of the year, but which required separate purchase for the additional recording and control features. (It has the same kind of click switch that Anna described in her podcast for the 3G Shuffle, where you can play/pause, adjust volume and navigate forwards and back; you can also use the mic positioned near the ccntrols) I connected the headset I got for my Nano 4G to the iPod Touch, and was surprised when I activated the Voice Control for the iPod Touch, too. Biggest surprise not directly about the iPod Touch itself is that I can use my MacBook with no local wi-fi connection to share internet access with my iPod Touch if I have a wired connection for the MacBook. This can be activated through the Internet Sharing option on the Sharing menu of System Preferences, and is described in one of the appendices on setting up a software base station in the Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network guide from: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/ Basically, you can use the AirPort wireless card built into your Mac to act as a local wireless point for your iPod Touch (and other computers). This is kind of like tethering in reverse -- you have an iPod Touch that needs wi-fi access to stream from Pandora or download news, etc. and you have a Mac with a wired connection that you can use to enable local wi-fi. This does mean that for location based apps like Around Me you have to type in your location rather than use location mapping of local wireless towers to determine where you are, but this works great! Also, there some accessible apps that don't require wifi access for iPod Touch use. For example, the NumberKey Free app from Balmuda lets you use your iPod Touch as a numeric keypad for your Mac laptop. Since you can use your built-in AirPort wireless card to create an Ad Hoc network for using your iPod Touch, you can use the iPod Touch as a numeric keypad even without having any internet connection. This could be used for easy data entry into spreadsheets like Tables (sorry, I don't do this much, so I can't say what it's like for Open Office and Numbers), and you can also use this to run VoiceOver's NumPad Commander for customized VoiceOver key control. Since some VoiceOver users use NumPad Commander to simplify keyboard input for other disabilities, this is a great alternative to buying a USB numeric keypad for your laptop. FYI, I'm using the iPod Touch now through my MacBook's wired connection, since I'm traveling. Cheers, Esther Darcy Burnard wrote: Hi.

Re: windows 7
Hi May, If you use Boot Camp, you can boot into either Windows or Mac OS. When you choose one, that operating system uses all the resources of the computer, and you have to reboot to use the other. The reason Windows doesn't speak during the install is that you don't have access to VoiceOver. You might want to consider using Fusion instead. This allows you to run Windows while running Leopard. The down side is that your system's resources must be split between the two, but the advantage is that you can switch between Windows and Mac programs and run them simultaneously.

Re: windows 7
what version of the macbook are you using? On Sep 21, 2009, at 8:04 PM, Justin Harford wrote: It does not exactly mean you can't do it without sighted assistance. It means that you have a choice between partitioning your drive 50/50 or just giving windows 32 gb. I supposed you might be able to use the disk utility on the boot CD to partition the drive more precicely but then you wil have to erase your mac partition and start from scratch. So in this respect boot camp could be accessible, but installing windows remains the same story unless you have an unattended installation CD.

Re: windows 7
So would it be better to get fusion instead of using bootcamp? I don't always want windows running, just when I need it. Also I have a macbook and lepard.

Re: windows 7
Ah ok, thanks. Bootcamp is the one I want then. I don't want windows running all the time. So I will have to get a sighted person to help install windows. I think I can find one of those. Can someone please send me the steps to be able to do this off list. I'd like to have that handy when I'm ready to install window 7. Thanks again.

RE: windows 7
Hello May, Chris is quite correct, currently, there are major Boot Camp issues when running Windows 7 on the MacBook Pro 13 inch, with one caveat; is you don't mind using the analog headphone jack, audio in Boot Camp is not a problem. We're hoping that this issue will be resolved by the launch of Windows 7, next month. While Fusion works well, for many of us, the MacBook Pro 13 inch Capslock key is not recognized by Jaws in Windows 7. Thus, using Fusion, you may have to remap the Capslock key. Another choice is to simply attach a Windows USB keyboard to your Mac and you'll be in business.

RE: windows 7
May, Currently, given all of the issues discussed in previous posts to this thread, I have elected to run Windows 7 using Fusion. In short, One launches Windows 7 as if it were another application. In fact, one can access the SL Desktop while at the same time having access to Windows 7 using Jaws. It's really quite amazing. I have gone so far as to install Office 2007, Skype, and a host of other Windows based apps in my virtual copy of Windows 7. I believe the rule of thumb is that, for best results, one should have at least 2GB of ram on board. Windows 7 is rated to work very well on 1GB of RAM as evidenced by its stunning performance on PC NetBooks.

I'd like to have that handy when I'm ready to install window 7. Thanks again. On 21-Sep-09, at 8:09 PM, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: Hi May, If you use Boot Camp, you can boot into either Windows or Mac OS. When you choose one, that operating system uses all the resources of the computer, and you have to reboot to use the other. The reason Windows doesn't speak during the install is that you don't have access to VoiceOver. You might want to consider using Fusion instead. This allows you to run Windows while running Leopard. The down side is that your system's resources must be split between the two, but the advantage is that you can switch between Windows and Mac programs and run them simultaneously.

We're hoping that this issue will be resolved by the launch of Windows 7, next month. While Fusion works well, for many of us, the MacBook Pro 13 inch Capslock key is not recognized by Jaws in Windows 7. Thus, using Fusion, you may have to remap the Capslock key.

Re: windows 7
it depends on if it is running the same chipset that the 13 inch is using. On Sep 21, 2009, at 9:43 PM, M. Taylor wrote: As a new Mac user, I can only speak to the MacBook Pro 13 inch.

Calling All Mac Gurus
Hello Everyone, Recently, I published a link to an outstanding Windows based commercial DVD ripper that is fast, easy to use, and easily customizable. Unfortunately, at present anyway, the application is not Jaws accessible. Turn the page, as the saying goes. Now, I am on the quest for the perfect Mac based commercial DVD ripper which is as easy to use as the Windows program mentioned above. By the way, thanks to all of you that made recommendations on this subject. I researched them all and I must say that I am amazed at the lack of comparable DVD ripping software for OSX. That is, while one can certainly remove DRM and one can convert DVD content from one format to another, as yet, I nor at least 5 locally employed professional Mac techs could find an app that does it all in one step. That is to say, the software removes the DRM, while at the same time converting the selected chapters to the desired output format without first having to store the video on the hard disk. Like a dog with a bone, I continued my search and, finally, I located a Mac OS 10.6 compatible utility that meets all of the specifications listed above. The current cost of this application is approximately 50 USD. Excellent, yes? Well, upon downloading and installing a demonstration copy of the app, I was completely dismayed to discover that this app does not appear to be accessible with VoiceOver. Is this possible? I don't wish to appear naïve, but I was under the impression that since VO is part of the OS, virtually all Mac apps would be accessible. Because I am still learning the intricacies of VO and the Mac OS, I would ask that someone on the list with more experience than I attempt to access the application. Perhaps there is some extended technique of which I am not aware. What I do know is that this application is marvelous and does exactly what I need if only I could access it via VO. By the way, the DEMO version is the same as the full version accept that one can only rip 3 minutes of content and there is a watermark added to the video. The name of the software is: iSkySoft Media Converter for Mac The URL is: http://www.iskysoft.com The application's user manual may be found at: http://www.iskysoft.com/user-guide/imedia-converter-mac.html I eagerly await your findings and thank you in advance.
