mac and iPhone syncing over the air through google calendars
Hi all. I use to have this working perfectly. I'd enter an appointment on my mac and it would appear on my iPhone within a few minutes as well. The reverse was also true. Something has happened and I don't know if it is an iPhone problem or a MacBook Air problem, but things on the computer are not reaching the phone. I can do an appointent on the phone and it will reach the computer. My husband can do an appointment on his mac and it will reach my mac, but they never reach my phone. In iTunes, as always, sync calendars is not checked. On the phone, push is turned on. Does anybody have any other thoughts as to what I should do? ICal is looking at the 2 calendars it needs to look at and that it has been looking at for a year now. This is very frustrating, since I am on the road right now and need this thing to work. I really do not know if this is an iCal, iPhone or iTunes setting issue, though I doubt it is the latter. Thanks for any assistance. marlaina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: scanning and the mac
iPal is now working in conjunction with K-1000. If you are okay with buying yet another expensive software solution, check directly with the ipal people as I believe they are soon anouncing a pricing deal for K-1000 users.

Re: Itunes beginner's questions.
Hi, Importing content is very easy. Just press command O and the file browser will open. Just press return on the file or folder you wish to add. Moving content around playlists is pretty easy too. You have a few options here. For your audiobooks. You can just select them from your music playlist, press command C to copy, and paste them in the books playlist with command V. I don't recommend this for audiobooks though. I suggest going to the audiobooks you have in your music playlist and selecting them and pressing command I to bring up the get info dialog. Then select the option tab. here you will find a pop up menu for media kind. Choose audiobook. You can also set that iTunes remembers the place you left of in the book. Just press return when thats done. This won't work for descriptive movies because they are in a music format. You will need to do the before mention copy and paste to bring them to the Movies playlist. At least That I'm aware of. I don't deal much with movies with iTunes. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 On Feb 16, 2011, at 11:51 PM, Phantom.Vader wrote: > Hi again everyone! > > These are some questions I've been meaning to ask for a while now, > because I haven't yet been able to figure them out on my own yet. > Excuse me if they're dumb!

Re: Itunes beginner's questions.
Sounds like you've got a add to library question. Sure. Just press command+o and a standard file browse dialog will pop up. In which dialog, you can add either individual files or folders as you wish from anywhere on your drive. Personally, I don't use ITunes all that much at all. For playing my media and most streams, I use Cog player. Just google and it will come right up. For burning CD's just use Simply Burns. Again, google should find that for you also.

Itunes beginner's questions.
Hi again everyone! These are some questions I've been meaning to ask for a while now, because I haven't yet been able to figure them out on my own yet. Excuse me if they're dumb! Relative Mac newby. What can I say? Anyway, my questions are as follows: 1. How do you import a song into Itunes using the keyboard? Right now I just click it in its location in the finder (or my external drive) and let Itunes play it, which seems to import it automatically. Needless to say, though, this can get laborious! 2. Is it possible to import entire folders, say of a whole album or audio-book, from the finder or my external drive into Itunes? Also, is there anything analogous to the ability you have in Winamp to open and play an entire folder? 3. Is it possible to add songs to an already created playlist? 4. Can you move files to a different playlist-folder? For example, I have a couple of descriptive movies and audio-books in my library, but because of the way I imported them, see question 1, they've ended up in my "music" folder. But I want them to go in my "movies" and "books" folders respectively. Can I move them there, and if so how? Anyway, those are all my questions so far. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! -- "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Re: scanning and the mac
There is no solution for the Mac equal to K1000 if you use things like the bookmark and other features of that application. The k3000 for Mac is old and not vo-compatible and not appropriate for blind folks. Stick with k1000 and never mind native Mac solutions if you're a power user, which it sounds like you are. You won't be happy with other solutions that don't offer features you're use to and don't offer anything like the convenience of the K1000 application. I have K1000 running on a Windows machine with a bookedge scanner by Plustek. Bootcamp or a vm may work for you. Good luck.

RE: Is there some way one can accidentally block a website?
There are quite a few things that could occur. 1 general routing issues. The easiest way to check this is with traceroute. This can be run from the terminal, but the network utility in the utilities folder has a tab for this. If you run this with ahost name like maps.google.com then a line is produced for each router between your computer and the closest point in the internet to the webserver. If all you get is lines with stars, then there is something close to your system that is blocking your requests.

Re: [Bulk] Re: [Mac-cessibility News] Twitterific for Mac 4.0 Is Released Sans VoiceOver Accessibility
I guess my problem whenever this topic comes up--and it comes up kind of a lot--is that Josh and the other mods don't owe us anything. If they feel their services aren't appreciated enough, they're perfectly within their rights to stop providing them. If we feel we aren't getting enough out of what they provide, on the other hand--well, we aren't putting anything into it, you know? Why should we be entitled to get a return on it? Getting anything at all out of what people do in their free time, at no cost to anyone but themselves, is a bonus, IMO. If people don't want to go to the website to read the story, then no one's making them, and the snippets are always long enough to allow decisions to be made about whether the story is interesting enough to warrant that extra click. I'm not having a go at you, or the message you sent, which seemed reasonable. It's just the general tone the topic takes on always seems pretty entitled, to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: scanning and the mac
Yes this is true I've strongly discouraged this since I work for a fair few deaf-blind, but I suspect it's a done deal. On the other hand, I've been told that a true voiceover compatible mac solution is in the works. In that case, braille support will be leaps and bounds ahead of where eyepal was on it's own anyway.

Re: scanning and the mac
Hi. I understand it so far that braille support will stop in both zoom-ex and eyepal, is that correct. To me it is not an option to have a scanning solution that can not be used with braille. If eyepal/zoom-ex will run in a way so it could work together with voiceOver it would be great, easy to use, good quality of scanning, but still not as good as finereader 10. I have worked with both readiris and finereader for the mac, to me it is not good enough. It is one of the last things I still use my windows for. But I hope that there will be a solution in the future, so I also can scan with my mac. Best regards Annie.

Re: scanning and the mac

While I'm not overwhelmed with the product it's fast and accurate, supports braille at least for now, batch scans, saves to mp3, and otherwise does more or less what the literature says it does.

The owner of the site says the server's been up all day, and a friend from another location has been able to connect to the site. Also, I can connect to other sites, so I know my connection is OK.

Re: configuring outgoing mail server
Hi Donna, I'm not Jonathan, but if I understand, you are in Mail, and you brought up the Preferences pane with Command+Comma, then navigated to the "Accounts" pane and selected it with VO-Space. On the Accounts pane, you went to the "Accounts" Table, interacted, and selected the account you wanted to edit (e.g. MobileMe, Gmail, etc.) or you used the "Add" button (VO-Space) to set up a new account and select it. You then chose the "Account Information" tab (VO-Space) (selected tab 1 of 3). On the "Account Information" tab, navigate to the entry near the bottom for "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)". There's a pop up button just after this entry. Use VO-Space, and arrow down to "Edit SMTP Server List…" Selecting this will bring up a new dialog window. I haven't been following the previous discussion, but I believe that is the entry that Jonathan was describing. HTH.

Re: configuring outgoing mail server
Under the accounts pane there is a menu box for outgoign mail server. The bottom item of this menu is an edit SMTP servers.

Re: request for people in the UK using Voiceover
Hello Liam, May I suggest that you might want to join the mac-access list? The list owners are UK based, and as for "using Mac and VoiceOver for practically everything" they migrated their entire server system over to the Mac about a year and a half ago, removing the last of their Windows-based machines from the business end, as well as from their personal use. You'd also consequently find a large number of knowledgeable UK-based list members there, and their servers also host Anne Robertson's French CeciMac.org group. Of course, there are also a number of US list members, too. For more information about this list, visit their mac-access.net web page and read the links about their E-mail forums: http://www.mac-access.net/ HTH.

RE: scanning and the mac
Hi Dane, As long as Ihad something which I could scan a book into the computer accurately, get it recognized, and do what needed done, yes, I wouldn't see any problems with using an off the shelf product, as long as it worked with vo. I just use the book mark features, for example that are in k1000 whilest studying, for example, for marking important bits of text so I can find them later on and obviously want something similar or close and I just don't know what's out there. It seems like the I work package comes close to what I have with office, if not better, as long as it works with vo(apple says it does), so the only thing that is holding me off from taking the apple plunge all the way is this k1000 thing. The kurzweil people said we could upgrade to the 3000 version which is made for the mac, but they forgot to tell my husband and me that it doesn't talk! We don't know if it works with vo, but the upgrade would not cost us that much, if we did it that way, since we already own k1000 v. 12.something.

Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Re: [Mac-cessibility News] Twitterific for Mac 4.0 Is Released Sans VoiceOver Accessibility
For my part, I'm going only to say this. I suspect that what we're dealing with here is a fundamental misunderstanding. Seems to me to be the case that, if we had this explanation earlier, (perhaps at the point of first criticism), it would never have gone to this level. I myself have found the site to be of use especially in my beginning Mac days. I think there's sometimes a gap between what developers put in and what people get out. This gap could, I think, be eliminated by better explanations on both parts as to when problems arise. Developers feel that the would be recipients of a piece of information or site is not being appreciated by the would be recipients. The recipients feel that not enough is being done. I suspect that it might be useful if we all kind of stepped back from the edge a bit and asked ourselves how we can better communicate with one another about things going on. I'm not suggesting we all become experts at this; but, I think if we let this gap go on to long, it would not be healthy for either side. Just my two cents.

Re: scanning and the mac
Hello, My company is a Apple value add reseller and not only do we sell Apple computers, but we custom configure them for no additional charge. This means if you want a VMWare fusion set-up we will install the version of Windows that you want and custom configure using some tricks that we've learned in house that help with smoothly switching back and forth between the Apple and Microsoft environments. Everybody who purchase a Mac from us also gets a free copy of the Mac Academy Workbook and Study Guide along with 17 audio learning modules in MP3 format. There are a couple ways to go about setting-up a scan and read system using off the shelf mainstream technology, but given what you said about your reliance on K1000 as a student, perhaps it would be prudent to install K1000 on the Windows side, and then perhaps purchasing the Eye-Pal camera which can be used either on the Mac or the Windows Side. Although Eye-Pal was eventually ported into an X11 Application using something called WINE and is not coded in the native Apple environment but recognition is good and fast. Feel free to contact me directly off list if you have any questions whatsoever.

Re: scanning and the mac
I agree with Dane. I recently started using Abby FineReader, and have found it to be an excellent solution on the Mac. It's not tailored to the visually impaired specifically, but it does work quite well. The US retail price of Abby FineReader is $99, and there is a trial available from their web site. HTH.

Re: scanning and the mac
Would you be prepared to consider an off the shelf scanning system for your Mac? Meaning something like Abey Fine Reader? No, its not self voicing but you can get around it with Voiceover so some knowledge of how Voiceover works will be a must before you use it but that will come anyway if you plan to use Voiceover with your Mac . Running a dual boot system or a virtual machine just to run Kurzweil seems to be going to one hell of a lot of trouble to me , I know where you're coming from with Kurzweil though as I've used it here on my Windows PC and no one can deny its a great package - even though its massively overpriced in my humble opinion - but as I said before, you a little knowledge of Voicoever will go a long way and save you a lot of time.

scanning and the mac
Hi, We have been kicking around the idea of getting a couple of new macs for a couple of weeks now since bothour pc's are not working that great anymore. The main thing that is holding us back is our heavy reliance on Kurzweil. I am a grad student and we also use k1000 for scanning our mail daily. I know we could either do a duel boot system or run a virtual machine and then can use k1000 this way on the mac, but I wanted to ask knowledgable folks first about this before we jumped in.

Does anybody have any mac specific solutions that work well for scanning text books? For scanning the types we all get in the post?

solona.net — tactile screen protectors
Hi, I recently came across solona.net. I had heard of their tactile screen protectors. My fiance just got an iPhone and is having some trouble texting and such, so I thought it'd be useful for her, so I ordered us both one. I even tried to get expedited shipping. However, I've not heard a word from them yet, and it's been at least two weeks or more. I even tried contacting them through their form, and have not gotten any responses. I know there's been discussion of them not being online for their captcha service, but I thought at least they would process orders. Also, I had seen an operator online with the captcha service for at least a few minutes the night when I ordered, so I thought they were back online. I know it's been discussed here, which is why I'm posting about it. I'm not sure what to do. I've heard the guy is sick, so I don't want to do a chargeback, but it really should have been shipped and arrived here already. Has anyone else ordered recently?

Re: Send/Receipt requests in Mail
This is very helpful, Jim, and I will certainly read the documents to which you referred. However, in order to not make waves here at work, I will use Outlook. Most definitely not what I would have wanted, but it's probably for the best, politically.

Re: Shazam for ipad is free
Hi Ed, Just FYI, Shazam does not work well with Voiceover. Not sure if it's available for the iPad, but better options would be MusicID or SoundHound. I've used the former not the latter, and can say MusicID works quite well on my iphone.
