some more questions about streams and macs
Hi Everyone, I'm looking at the Q and A's that someone sent earlier today (Thank you, who ever sent these! :) I have a few more questions, as all of the material I've seen works on the assumption that people are using windows. 1. How do you formatt the stream's card? The material discusses various folders to copy certain kinds of files into. So, how do I take a blank SD card and make it work with the stream's folders using a mac? 2. Can I copy music files and put them on the same SD card as talking books? 3. I'm assuming that the SD card would simply show up in the finder and content can just be coppied between devices that way. I'm still considering whether or not to drop the money on the stream, or if I would simply be fine with my iPod, iPad, etc, as they work better with a mac. I would welcome people's thoughts and opinions! Thanks!

Re: Audible books, can I listen to them/transfer them?
I'm kind of wondering the same thing. I've got an iPad, and am just wondering if the stream's worth the investment. I'm concerned about it's lack of compatibility with macs, for things like authorizing audible. So, what can the stream do taht an iPad or iPod can't besides playing daisy books?

Re: is anyone else bothered by safari five>
Yeah and I won't even talk about problems I've had with ZoomText! Not being compatible every time Windows was updated. And Windows itself, Well, bleh! I'm happy here. Hey, I'm sure Apple is working on this. I'll admit I don't use iChat or Audible.com, so I'm not as affected, but rest assured, I'd bet they're going to be working on an update for compatibility really soon.

Re: Audible books, can I listen to them/transfer them?
Yes, use a card reader with the SD card and you will be much better off. Once you have the Victor authorized for audible content, you will simply be able to copy the audible book from your mac over to the SD card. This will be a simple cut and paste from finder. the problem is authorizing the stream to play the audible content. this, it appears can only be done from windows, because, Itunes doesn't support the stream as a device. So, if you can get the stream authorized for audible, you should be good to go. I hope this helps, right now, the authorization is a problem for me as well.

Re: Authorizing Audible to Play on Victor Stream Using a Mac
I have no problems connecting the victor, but, it's much easier and faster to use a card reader anyway. This is true on both the Mac and the PC. However, authorizing the stream for audible, well, it seems as though it has to be done in windows.

Re: Turning off the Trackpad
how can that be simple if you need a device that isn't even connected to the computer? I don't have an apple mouse. so I found that the easier way is to again. press VO and while holding that down, take 2 fingers and twist to the left on the track pad, like turning a knob. I am not trying to be an ass here, but it really doesn't get any easier than that.

Re: Authorizing Audible to Play on Victor Stream Using a Mac
Kev: There are 2 different authorizations, 1 for the pc or Mac and another for each device you want to use. I have no problems playing audible files on the mac, but, I can find no way to transfer the authorization to the stream by using itunes. It's not Apple that's the problem, the victor just isn't supported as a device in Itunes, that seems to be the problem here!

Re: is anyone else bothered by safari five>
Hi Chris. The reason I suspect that iChat broke when upgrading to Safari 5, is that it's not just the browser that gets updated. The html rendering engine is also updated. Many Mac apps use this engine, including iChat. As for the bugs themselves, I will be surprised if they're not fixed in short order. Generally speaking, when a piece of software has a major point release, there are a few bugs that crop in. Historically Apple has been quite good at squashing these quickly. I'm sure we'll see a safari 5.1 or more likely 5.01 quite soon. As for the lack of communication from accessibil...@apple.com, unfortunately that's just the nature of Apple. As a rule, Apple doesn't announce anything until it's ready for release. This includes both new features and bug fixes. Rest assured though, if people are reporting the VO bugs, they know about them. I sometimes wish they were more communicative as well, but I think it's just part of Apple's corporate DNA to keep things close to the vest. I've found this is one of the hardest things for new Apple users to get used to. This is especially true if they're coming from the world of Access Technology. Often A T companies announce things months before actual release. Bottom line though, if past experience gives us anything to go on, these VoiceOver bugs will be fixed very soon.

Re: is anyone else bothered by safari five>
I got a response, and have forwarded my crash logs for review. Microsoft might work with third party venders, but they do nothing about built in accessibility themselves, as far as I can tell. Just my two cents, but even though I've had a few issues with safari five, I'd never go back to Jaws and Windows, which, to my mind, had many more accessibility problems.

Re: Strange behavior in menus on Macbook Pro
I really don't think that was the problem, as I use quick nav quite a bit. The strange behavior seems to have subsided though. I reinstalled OSx and thus went back to Safari 4 for the time being. I kept all my files and settings though. My Macbook seems slightly quirky at times, but is working pretty well for now.

Lots of people have had issues with Safari 5. It has exactly nothing to do with whether one has used jaws or not.

Hi, I had a similar problem when I had the mouse cursor tracking set to follow the Voiceover cursor. You should try setting your mouse cursor to ignore Voiceover cursor by doing the following: 1.

VO downarrow until you reach the navigation item. 4 Press Shift VO Uparrow to stop interacting with the Utility Catagories table. 5 Use VO Right arrow to move to the "Mouse Cursor" pop up menu>> 6. Press VO Spacebar to activate the menu. 7> Select Ignore from the pop up menu. 8. Close Voiceover Utilities. HTH Marshall ..

No, I'm referring to the audible.com bug and the ichat bug.

Re: error message when trying to download books from audible
Hello, Hmm, I have used Audible and for some strange reason have not experienced the problems that others have with the new Safari 5. I have used Audible somewhat with the Mac and have downloaded two books and have never seen that message before. Could it be the format? Or a problem with Audible? I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

error message when trying to download books from audible
Hi, I think this came up in a thread earlier this week but I can't remember. When I try to download a book from my "My Library" section of audible, I receive the message " We're sorry, but there was a problem and your audio could not be downloaded. Please try your download again in a few minutes". This is really getting on my nerves. I was able to download books on my windows machine. Please!

Re: Solona command line
Hi Kev, Thank you so much. I will try that. Solona is the captcha solving solution for the Mac. Teresa Ford created a little app that you can run instead of going through the website to submit your captcha. But so far, I have had no luck in getting the CMD to recognize the documents folder. Every time I type cmd Documents, it says it's an invalid command. Oh well, I did get it to work through the website. Thank you again.

Re: Solona command line
I don't really know what solona is but if you're in the command line for the mac, you use cd for (change directory) like in dos. When you use the terminal program, you're in the home directory for your user ID. In that directory are folders or directories like downloads, documents and so on. If you want to go to one of those directories, you'd use cd documents or downloads or whatever the directory name is. To get help in this command line, use the command man and then the command you want to use. Examples are man ls (List Directory), Man cp (copy files), man mv (move files). These are command unix commands for moving in the directory structure of the Mac. You man be able to use a man -k command to look up keywords for things you may want to do. If I'm whistling into the wind here, sorry about that. If not, good luck and I hope this helps.

Re: Authorizing Audible to Play on Victor Stream Using a Mac
As far as I know, the deice list on audible is just for reference. You have to use the audible player or Itunes to register the device. The problem is that Itunes doesn't recognize the stream as a device, the Mac recognizes it as an external drive. So, unless there is something I don't know about, i can't see any way to authorize the stream using the mac. However, there's a lot I don't know about most things, that's why I posted here before calling Humanware.

Iworks Trial Download
Hello. I am very curious to try the 30-day trial of Iworks on the Mac. When going to the Apple site where the download is located, the actual download seems to be inside of an empty frame, at least this is what Voiceover reports. In other words, there is what sounds like a frame for the download, but when interacting with that frame, it is empty, with no download link. Any suggestions on how to download this 30-day Iworks trial? Thanks a lot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Strange behavior in menus on Macbook Pro
I wonder if you have a set of eyes that can look and see if there is something going on. My other two suggestions is to setup another account if you do not have one, log into this account and see if you have the same problem. If not, you may have a corrupted plist file. What you can do is track down the VOiceOver plists and blow them away. Once you relaunch VO, they will be recreated. The various plists can be found in ~/Library/Preferences. The ` indicates your home folder and the files you are looking for will be obvious, but they will start with com.apple and you want to look for the VoiceOver files. I would save this as the last step. hth, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

This means you just need to make the change in the list when sending mail -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sarai Bucciarelli Sent: Sunday, 13 June 2010 11:55 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: mail accounts question Hi guys: I have an Email account, and I have to change the smtp server info in order to send msgs from a couple of different locations. I've tried to create two email accounts, with duplicate info, however I get errors when attempting this. It looks like I cannot create any email accounts with duplicate info, unlike you can with Outlook. I don't want to have to manually change the smtp server every-time.

Re: opening applications folder in the doc
Hello Anna, You can find a lot of shortcuts like these in the Go menu in the Finder. Wherever a menu item has a shortcut, you'll find it after the item description. Knowing shortcuts saves so much time. Cheers, Anne On Jun 13, 2010, at 1:14 AM, Ana G wrote: > Anne, > > You are a marvel.

Re: Safari 5
How did you resolve the issue? Glad to hear Apple Support was helpful. Once you're transfered to a senior person, they're great.
