Re: Bonjour de Paris

[Yuma Antoine Decaux]

Hi Claude,

Good to know there are other froggs in this list.

I've been on the mac boat for a bit over 2 months now, and i don't  
think i will boot up windows for a while, at least until they make win  
screenreaders more intuitive and add the multitrack pad. Just can't  
praise this enough.

Well, if your english isn't to par, it doesn't appear not to be :)

A bientot

Yuma

Re: songs appearing in iTunes?

[Esther]

Hi Donna,

If you want to check the source of tracks that are in your iTunes  
library that you think may have been purchased, you can do so.

You can check when iTunes tracks were purchased (and by whom) by  
selecting the track and using "Get Info" (Command-I), and choosing the  
"Summary" tab.  You'll be able to read off whether the track has DRM  
(the "Kind" field will include the word "Protected" -- e.g.,  
"Protected AAC audio file" instead of "Purchased AAC audio file"), the  
size, bit rate, sample rate, play count, last played date, along with  
fields for "Purchased by", "Account Name", and "Purchase Date".

Even "free" tracks from the iTunes Store are registered as "Purchased"  
-- just for $0.00.  On the other hand, tracks that you've encoded  
yourself won't have these fields.  You can also check your complete  
purchase history on iTunes by logging in, and checking your account.  
If you've logged in, then the "Store" menu on the iTunes menu bar will  
have an entry for "View my account" (followed by your account name),  
and you'll be prompted for your password.  There will be a button for  
"Purchase History" that you can press (VO-Space).  You'll get a list  
of your purchases shown by date (most recent first), and a Previous  
Purchases menu where you can select a month and year period to check.

I think that just querying the tracks you don't recognize with  
"Command-I" will tell you what you need.  The other possibility, as  
others have mentioned, is that your iTunes Sharing preferences have  
been set to view other iTunes libraries on the same network, and that  
you're able to play songs that are in someone else's iTunes library.   
You can check your iTunes preferences with Command-Comma to bring up  
the preferences menu, then select the "Sharing" tab and see whether  
"Look for shared libraries" is checked.  However, music tracks that  
are from shared libraries shouldn't appear mixed in with your own.   
The libraries show up (identified by name) in the source table, and  
you need to expand those libraries to view and play the associated  
music that is shared for streaming play.

HTH

Cheers,

Esther

most USB keyboards should also work, as far as I know.

Hi Kevin, 

The answer is yes, you should be able to use your keyboard, and VO will give
you enough feedback to do what you mentioned. And you will be able to do a
lot more as well, I advice you to use iLife 9 with GarageBand 5 included,
and run it with Snow Leopard. You will then obtain the best possible level
of accessibility currently available in GarageBand.

Take care,

a question about pocket tunes for the Iphone

[John J Herzog]

Hi listers,
When I first got pocket tunes, I could click on search, and use it to  
find stations all around the country. Recently however, I clicked  
search by location just out of curiosity. Now I wish to once again  
search the entire catalogue for stations. How do I turn location based  
searching off? I don't see a button to change the setting back to its  
default of not using my location.  Furthermore, when I turn off  
location based services in the settings of my Ipod touch, pocket tunes  
tells me to enable location based services so it can perform a station  
search. How do I get it back to the way it was before?

Thanks,
John

Question on Burning an Audio CD

[David McLean]

Hello, I've noticed in the Finder context menu there is a burn to disk  
option.  However when I use it to burn a folder that contains mp3  
files it doesn't convert them to a standard audio cd, instead it just  
burns the mp3s.
Is there any way to use this option in Finder to create an audio cd  
instead or is the only way to do this through Itunes?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks to all for their help. I've figured out what the problem is,  
but I'm not sure why it happens. Basically, I used to open folders by

Gmail, Voiceover and Leopard

[Kevin Gibbs]

guys,
I'm still practicing on my wife's Mac powerbook with Leopard and
Voiceover.  I was looking at my Gmail account and while I could arrow down
the list of messages and hear the first few lines of the message after the
subject was read, I couldn't open the message to read the entire thing in
Gmail.  When writing to you on my PC, I use Outlook 2002 and it downloads
all my mail from Gmail and leaves copies on server.  But when I was reading
the mail on my wife's Mac, I couldn't actually open the message to read it.
I tried both VO spacebar and a straight ENTER, and neither opened the
message.  What was I doing wrong?  How do I open a whole Gmail message in
Leopard with Voiceover.  Remember that because my wife's machine is Power
PC, I won't be able to upgrade it to SL and VO.  I was using DOM in Safari
if that matters.  
Thanks,
Kevin
PS.  It just now occurs to me that I may not have chosen interact with
message before trying either of those two opening methods.  Could that have
been the problem?

software question

[Maxwell Ivey Jr.]

Hello group;  I haven't seen any discussion about this topic, so I  
hope someone out there can help with some good suggestions.  I've been  
using my mail program on my macbook to create bulk emails for my  
business.  I have been building groups in my address book, and after I  
create a message with photo attachments and html links; I send it to  
that group using the bcc field and the group name.  Recently, its been  
suggested that maybe I should invest in a newsletter creation program  
to help with the process and make my offerings more professional.  So,  
first question is should I need the additional software?  I'm told  
they can also be used to help track responses and offer other  
features.  And second, is there a program any of you would recommend  
for this?  I'm almost totally blind, so it will have to be very  
accessible with voiceover. I'll appreciate any help I can get.  Thank  
you in advance, Max

Re: Automator

[Darcy Burnard]

I've found this as well.  Often if you command tab out of automator,  
then command tab back in, the busy signals stop.  I don't know why  
this is, but it seems to work.

Thanks for all answers.
Here's a new one.
Does the iPod Touch (and iPhone) have regular mini-jacks or are they 
smaller than the normal ones?

RE: load of rubbish!

[Simon Fogarty]

I've played with the iphone over a couple of months and I've gotta say, that
although it's not a device for me.

It's a bloody good attempt at accessibility and I think that 
1. apple should be commended for their attempt at making it accessible out
of the box.

2. it's a great device for those needing to do email and document reading
that don't have access to a blackberry, and don't want to carry a laptop /
net book around with tem.

3. it should be shown to any VI or totally blind person as an option as a
usable cellular device.

It takes a bit of getting use to but it's very usable if you have the time
to use it.

I myself needed to switch back to a symbian based device for the reason that
I was on the go all the time and needed something that I could use with one
hand while walking  but would also give me full PDA / appointment time
managing features.

As well as a better battery life than the 3gs IPhone was giving me.

Sadly, this does seem to be the opinion of people that have not tried
the device. I would have hoped that since peter knows that his show is
quite popula he would have at least sat down with it for a day or so
and got to kno it. If infact he has done this and still thinks its
inaccessable, whilst I can't see why he does, its still an eduicated
opinion and I don't see anything wrong with this. It seems that people
here "touch screen" and dismiss the phone instantly.

Sharing music between user accounts

[Robert Carter]

Hi All,

My son has a user account on my Mac. He would like to add some of the  
mp3 files that are in my user account to his iTunes library. How is  
the easiest way to accomplish this. His account is setup as a regular  
user account and mine is an administrative account.

Thanks for suggestions.

Podcasts and resources about VoiceOver on the iPhone and iPod Touch [was Re: touch screens?]

[Esther]

Hi Christina,

You wrote:

> getting an iphone.
>
> Thanks,
> Christina

I'm not sure which podcasts May referred to when she said that  
listening to podcasts about the iPhone before she got the iPhone  
helped her to learn about the iPhone, but there are a lot of these  
around.  Shane Jackson came out with a number of podcasts on his new  
iPhone 3GS at the BlindWorld Blog and Podcast back in June, and there  
were some later podcasts by Dennis Bartlett and others at that site.  
The Serotek blog pages and podcasts have had some really good  
coverage, also including the new features (like copy and paste) that  
were implemented with the recent OS 3.1 update to the iPhone 3GS and  
iPod Touch.  Mark Taylor has also covered a lot of iPhone tutorials  
and tips on his Candleshore blog and in his podcasts.  There have also  
been round-table discussions in the mac-cessibility podcast.

Here are a few resources, starting with the pages for some of these  
podcasts that you can subscribe to through iTunes:

• BlindWorld Blog and Podcast
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=291664937
web pages at:
http://blindworldblog.blogspot.com/

• The Mark Taylor Candleshore Podcasts
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=322878129
web pages at:
http://mark.candleshoreblog.com/

• The Mac-cessibility Network - News podcasts
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=279093812
Also check the web site for tips:
http://www.lioncourt.com/category/quick-tips-iphone/
And especially for the list of accessible iPhone/iPod Touch apps:
http://www.lioncourt.com/the-accessible-iphone-3gs/

Some great sources of articles and podcasts, like the Serotek blog  
pages and their Serotalk web pages, don't have podcast feeds or  
entries in iTunes.

• Go to the Serotalk web pages at:
http://serotalk.com/
and check the archive entries by month, particularly the dates close  
to the release of the iPhone 3GS at the end of June and the beginning  
of July.

There's also the viphone list at Google Groups:
http://groups.google.com/group/viphone
and you can subscribe to:
viphone-subscr...@googlegroups.com

HTH.  This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, and someone who  
actually has an iPhone may be able to provide a better summary. The  
viphone list is not archived at the secondary Mail Archive site, so  
unlike the case for this list, I find it harder to keep track of  
content posted about the iPhone and search out content.

Cheers,

Esther

RE: songs appearing in iTunes?

Hi Charlie,

Oh, that's interesting, and kinda cool.  Is this only true for itunes 9?  After 
hearing everyone's complaints about accessibility in itunes 9, I decided not to 
upgrade, so I'm still running itunes 8.2.
Take care,

If you are in an area with a lot of people using wireless routers you and they 
can sometimes be getting the same signal. Where I live there are 584 other 
units in the complex and at any given time there are at least one other wifi 
network open. If either network are open you and or others will see play lists 
from other computers. One of the new features of I tunes 9 is the ability to 
share Itunes content from all the computers in my "home network". I have four 
macs and all have differing content from movies, music and pod casts. Since I 
neither have the time of desire to duplicate itunes libraries on all those macs 
I just turn on sharing between the macs I want to use. 

For example, the computer in my bedroom has a lot of old-time radio on it. If I 
want to sit in my recliner in the living room and listen to say "Dragnet" I 
just turn on sharing in my bedroom and living room, relax and enjoy

RE: songs appearing in iTunes?

[Donna Goodin]

Yeah, I agree, it does seem odd that Itunes would do that, you would think 
there'd be copyright issues.  I had the whole song, at least for the two that I 
checked. The selection was also weird.  With the exception of the Randy Neumann 
song, they were all instrumental, Lioness and Lucy is of course the Charlie 
Brown theme song, the other one was jazz piano, and the fourth one was sort of 
a hip-hop thing. So it kind of had that marketing feel to it, you know, a 
smattering of different types of music so that at least one category might 
appeal.  Who knows, but I'll definitely be watching my library for a while.
Take care,
Donna

RE: songs appearing in iTunes?

Hmm, interesting.  I would not have thought of that.  It's only about four 
songs, and I don't see any playlists other than the ones I created, which was 
why I wondered if Apple wasn't doing something to try and entice me to buy more 
music.  But turning off sharing sounds like a good thing to do regardless of 
whether or not that's the problem, so I will definitely do it.  Thanks for the 
suggestion.

I'm no expert, but I do a lot of things with Itunes. From the way you describe 
your situation it sounds like you are getting someone Elses wifi and their play 
list is popping up on you machine.  Go into Itunes preferences, click "sharing" 
and turn all that stuff off. 

Hope this helps.

Re: Having Itunes problems

[Jude DaShiell]

After tabbing over to songs, interact with songs and then expand songs 
then move down to genres and select your genre and interact with that 
genre.  Once you do that, another list opens inside that genre with 
relevant streams.  So move down to each stream and select it and then open 
it up.On Thu, 1 Jan 2009, Robert Dehard wrote:
