Re: Reinstalling Snow Leopard
Yes, you may want to try and determine how your settings are the problem instead of just blowing things away. That is something you reserve as a last resort. When people say things are not working well does not really describe what is going on. HOw are these features no longer working? It likely is changing some settings etc. that has caused the issue. Determining this first will not only save you the trouble of installing, but help you should you find yourself in this situation in the future.

Re: backing up a windows phone to a mac
You could sync your calendar, contacts, and so on to a google account and then sync them down to your mac. Or you could get sprite backup and rip them off your phone that way. Sprite might not do it for you though if you are planning to switch to IPhone. I think I really would check out googles data services. I'm sure they can help you out.

Re: New Mac user
Hi Celena, If you want to place things in higher priority in Utorrent, select the ones you want. Press control option shift M to bring up the context menu. Arrow down to high priority and press enter. You can use the same procedure to choose files not to download. Utorrent doesn't put any value on the order of the files in the list the way other applications do, because of the nature of bit torrent. Selecting items in order is really easy. Just use shift down arrow starting at the top of the selection until you have everything you want selected. selecting items that are non contiguous is a bit more of a process. It would be interesting to see what result you get, because when interacting with the files table in UTorrent, I've noticed that VO doesn't track properly If you want the step by step for selecting noncontiguous files, let me know and I'll dig it out for you.

Re: Downloading MP3 files
Hey Martin, try this: When on the link that starts playing the audio, press control-option-shift-M and you should get a menu. Use your arrow keys to navigate down to Download Linked File, and the download should start. You will find the file in the Downloads folder in your (user name) folder. Another solution is to search for the RSS stream in itunes, and download a particular or all new episodes from there. In that case, your download will be found in the Podcast folder inside your (Username)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder.

Re: Reinstalling Snow Leopard
Debra, For what it's worth, VoiceOver occasionally gets into a finicky mode and getting to the Status menus doesn't work properly. It's difficult to say what causes this behavior but restarting VoiceOver always seems to remedy the situation. There are alternate keyboard shortcuts for getting to the menu bar and status menus. I don't recall offhand what they are but they might help as well. Perhaps someone else might recall the OS X shortcuts for these menus. Anyway, try restarting VoiceOver to fix the status menu issue when it comes up. HTH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

In any case, under Snow Leopard, you would probably create the Automator workflow slightly differently. I'm not upgraded to Snow Leopard, so I can't give instructions based on my current system, however, using Automator and the Move Finder Items action you should be able to create a contextual menu option for Finder that will simply move selected files to your designated location. Alternatively, you can get Travis Siegel's Move AppleScript, and paste it into the Run Applescript action to make this an Automator workflow, or you could simply select the files and then run the AppleScript, or assign the AppleScript to a spark shortcut. Look for it at: http://www.softcon.com/mac/scripts I've only read about the new format, so the way I think this would be done is (somewhat sketchily) is: 1. Open Automator and select Service and then press (VO-Space) the choose button 2. Navigate with VO-Right Arrow (or use item chooser menu) to an entry that will initially read Service receives selected text (pop up button) in any application (pop up button). You want to use VO-Space to set the first pop up button to files or folder and set the second pop up button to Finder. 3. Find run AppleScript in the Actions library, select it, and press return to add it to the workflow. 4. Navigate to the workflow, interact with the Run AppleScript action. You want to copy the AppleScript, and paste it into the middle of the Run AppleScript action where you're prompted to put your AppleScript. 5. Save the workflow and name it. HTH Cheers, Esther a radix wrote: Hello everyone, is there somewhere a list of commands/shortcuts that I can use within the finder?

I do not see scripting in VO used to always work around a problem with an application, but I imagine it could help in some cases. I agree, there is no need to start a pissing contest over whether scripting in a screen reader makes sense or not because everyone has their own opinions on this subject.

Re: Script for telling time. Used to be: Scripting with VO
I've also noticed that this tends to draw focus away from VoiceOver.

Re: Script for telling time. Used to be: Scripting with VO
Hi Ricardo, That does solve the problem of VoiceOver losing focus but, unfortunately, it makes any script override the system voice with the voiceOver default voice. It's a quirk (or bug) that shouldn't yield that result but… oh well, for the sake of VoiceOver functionality, I suppose it's worth it.

A couple of questions about nisus writer pro
Hi all. I have used most of today to become more familiar with nisus writer pro. I have found out about some things but not everything i need to know. I hope you can help. I have found out that I can make a heading in the formats menu submenu lists. I have also found out that there are different levels placed in something called toc in the shortcuts menu, but How do I for enstance create a heading level 2? how do I navigate among the headings and levels. I have also tried to make a table of contents, but I am not sure how the best way is. I have found table of contents in the insert menu, but there are more choises, and I am not sure, what the defferences is and what works best with voiceover. And how can I navigate in a table of contents, when I succeed in creating one. I know it is a lot of questions. Best regards Annie. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com.

RE: Scripting with VO
Scripts would be most useful if we culd help VO to speak important information automatically, rather than requiring you to go and read it manually. That isn't always appropriate, but can be useful. Right now, though, Applescripts can't run in response to UI events, so that isn't possible.

It's just that nobody's given me an example where being able to script voiceover itself is useful. I've been doing things like this for more years than I really want to think about. Use applescript or a shell script to get information from an application and then use the say command to speak it. The twitterific example from the podcast, as far as I know and please feel free to jump in if I'm wrong uses twitterifics applescript dictionary to get the time from the current message. The fact that you're asking Voiceover to speak it rather than piping it through say doesn't seem all that much different to me. The example that comes with VO, reading the time, is the same way. What I'm looking for, I suppose, is an example of someone doing something more sophisticated. Under what circumstances do you need to actually use the applescript VO dictionary? Could you use it to mimic something like the jump to linked item command we mostly use in mail with an application that didn't have it, for example? What else? I guess maybe this should be posted on the developers list instead, I'm not sure. And obviously, as anyone who's ever read anything from me will know I'm always tinkering with scripts and hotkeys and launchers and goodness knows what to add features to apps that don't have them or make things easier to get to. I've just never been able to pin down any really good examples of people scripting VO itself for any of it, even though Snow Leopard's let us do it.

Re: new mac user with questions
Chad, Cannot help with the XM stuff, I don't know anything about that plugin. You should just be able to press enter on it and if there is something you need to click on, perhaps you can find out what that is and route the mouse pointer to it or use vo-shift-spacebar. As far as saving the mp3 files from Blind Cool Tech, you should be able to locate a download or Download as button, which should present a dialog in the case of download as. Finally, I have not used Logic Express and from what I have read here, is not accessible.

Re: working with autimator
It's really a drag that we can't use variables using VO that easy. It's like, come on, programming with no variables? I know it can do them but you have to drag them in and I thought they don't speak right, and only certain things can take variables as input or output to them. - Original Message - From: Sarah Alawami marri...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 3:24 PM Subject: Re: working with autimator and to add to that audomater slows my system to a crawl.

Thanks, Olivia It's a bit fiddly, but the basics aren't that hard to work out. Have a listen to Darcys screenless switchers podcast http://www.screenlessswitchers.com/node/27 for a start. It's more than a bit out of date, but the Snow Leopard version's not too different from this. I actually use it quite a lot to write services, even if most of them consist of nothing more than the run applescript or run shell script action with shell/applescript code, grin. Sue me, I'm a scripter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com.

Re: Script for telling time. Used to be: Scripting with VO
That did the trick! It also now speaks at the rate which I keep Voice Over set, not the default rate of Voice Over.

Sure I can get it easily from the menu, but what the heck, it's there. The scripting abilities are valuable in terms of expanding VO's functionality. I do not see scripting in VO used to always work around a problem with an application, but I imagine it could help in some cases. I agree, there is no need to start a pissing contest over whether scripting in a screen reader makes sense or not because everyone has their own opinions on this subject. I will say that it is there and considering what you can do with a script, I'm all for leaving it there. And yes, to the best of my knowledge, it is Apple scripting. SO, the use of scripts can far exceed the work-around for an app, which is evident by the say time script. Hope that helps some. On Mar 28, 2010, at 3:42 PM, James Nash wrote: Hi list, I am currently listening to the latest Mac Accessibility podcast about scripting, and I am very confused. Well, I may just be stupid, but I'll let you decide after I ask this question... How is scripting VO different from scripting other Screen Readers? I'm asking this because the group just made a very interesting point that with other Screen Readers, when an application or part of an application doesn't work properly, someone writes a script for it. If the application then gets upgraded and the script no longer works, people are not sure what to do to fix it aside from getting the script again. Surely this is the same with VO - most general users would not know what to do except for the scripter? Also, is VO scripting different from Apple Script? Josh has also said that we don't necessarily need the scripting capability of VO. Why is this? When I've used other Screen Readers, I used very few scripts if any and still got all the info I needed? I'm not trying to start a flame war, and I apologise to the moderators if this is off-topic.
