My 2 cents about the inaccessibility of the set up of drop box
Hi all. As far as I'm concerned, the complete inaccessibility of Drop Box on the Mac is inexcusable. And, I tell you this, if I was the CEO of Apple, developers would either write their code based on Apple's accessibility guidelines, or, there programs would just be rejected. IT's a black and white issue as far as I'm concerned. I mean, mercy! IT's bad enough that we couldn't access the drop box menu, but now that we can't even set the client up without sighted help? And honestly, I don't think petitions would do a lot for our cause. Individual complaints have been sent to drop box for over two years, and they've done nothing to show us that they hear our cries for accessibility. I'd sign the petition, but don't think it will help much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Shredder chess impressions
Zack, Contacting the developer, providing resources, tell them where the issues are, and point out the success other developers have had in making their apps accessible; are ways to get movement on accessibility. Here are some resources I provide: Making your Apps Accessible: Resources for IOS Developers 1. The Stanford University IOS programming series includes a talk by Chris Fleizach from Apple that, amongother things, shows how to make even the most complex controls accessible. This is on iTunes U. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=395631522 2. A recent blog post by Matt Legend Gemmell on Accessibility for iPhone and iPad Apps. http://mattgemmell.com/2010/12/19/accessibility-for-iphone-and-ipad-apps 3. Apple's programming guide for making IOS Apps accessible. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/iPhoneAccessibility/Introduction/Introduction.html 4. The AppleVis website (www.applevis.com) is dedicated to sharing information about the accessibility of IOS Apps, and offers links to other resources. 5. The Google Group named viphone is a large and active community of blind IOS device Users. Good luck and all you can do is ask/encourage. Oh and of course point out the fact that this is a growing market segment. I do not have empirical data beyond the number of list subscribers, but clearly there are a lot of blind and visually impaired folks purchasing iOS devices. If that were not the case, APple would not have invested RD into VO on the platform. Scott On Feb 21, 2011, at 11:18 PM, Zachary Kline wrote: Hi All, I was pleased to read this morning that Shreder has been made accessible with VoiceOver. This is a big-name Chess program, and so I thought I'd give the full verssion a try. Thus far, I'm quite impressed. I've been able to play and analyze a game, try my hand at a chess puzzle, and fiddle with the game's settings among other things. I'm not sure what they might have left out of the accessibility support, but i doesn't seem to be much. I was particularly impressed at the analysis mode, as there didn't seem to be any noticeable lag when using it with VO. So, all in all, I'm happy we have another Chess alternative. Now, if only the makers of Civilization for the iPhone would do the same thing.. grins Best, Zack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: system dialog
Yes, you are absolutely right, this happened to me a few times. As you have pointed out, I had to press command f5 a few times to activate the voice over.

Re: My 2 cents about the inaccessibility of the set up of drop box
Hi Jes and others: I haven't tried with Dropbox. But, I've been following the discussion. It seems to me that our US president just made a huge to-do about accessibility and signing the Communications bill and another ADA focused speech last July. We've had now occasional requests for feedback from the FCC. It seems to me the time is right for bring issues like this to the attention of some of these people being given the responsibility of trying to improve things, so maybe they can apply a little pressure on developers. Perhaps there is opportunity out there to change things for the better, though I'm not naive enough to think that will happen easily. Carolyn H On Feb 22, 2011, at 1:31 AM, Jes Smith wrote: Hi all.

Re: Problem with seeing network hard drive
If it's plugged in to your laptop than you might have an easier time sharing it on the network. If you want to leave it plugged in to your router, then check the router's documentation because all routers are a little different and it's hard to help with just one router. An accepsion to this would be if it was an Apple router.

Re: downloadable audiobooks from public library questions
It looks like my library uses overdrive. It says that I can use on an iPhone only if I use the overdrive software on a windows computer. Is this true for WMA files? This particular audiobook is in WMA. I believe overdrive for libraries also offer some audiobooks in MP3. Are the MP3 versions the only ones we can use on a mac and then transfer to an iPhone? I'm not particularly interested in this audiobook but I just picked something so I can send a link here as someone requested.

New User Experiencing Major Frustration
Hello, folks. I am a newbie, though I've been on the viphone group since last summer. At long last, I own a Mac, and I'm anxious to become as efficient a user as I was of my PC. Alas, it is not going as smoothly as planned. I'm having an odd problem with my mail account set-up. I use gmail, and I've verified my password, but the only mail I can access within the mail application are the messages Apple imported for me through February 15. I cannot get any mail subsequent to that. All the settings seem to be fine: I've attempted both pop.gmail.com and imap.gmail.com; I used smtp.gmail.com; I've tried authentication with my password or with none; I've tried removing and adding the account (it won't remove completely), and I simply cannot get my most recent messages, and there is a message saying my password is invalid, which is most definitely is not, as it is working on gmail in safari. Any thoughts as to what might be happening, or what I could try would be appreciated. I did try receiving new mail, but nothing. I suspect something very simple is being overlooked. Help!

Re: Problem with seeing network hard drive
Hmm, a brief discussion of client server seems to be in order here... 1. The server is where the disk you are trying to connect to is attached. Please provide us as much detail about this system as possible,. 2. The Client is your Macintosh and your wife's WIndows 7 system if I understand your requirements. If this is the case: then you should not need to adjust the sharing settings on either your Windows machine or your Macintosh. Now you will need to configure your server which it sounds like is the same as your router. It should have an area to provide which ethernet ports can see your shared drive (You don't want some body in Russia or Pakistan for example to find your disk and start using it. So again the questions are: 1. What is your server product and version. 2. How is the disk drive formatted. 3. What protocols do you see supported by the router / server.

Re: fried google
The password prompt in mail when accessing POP accounts appears a bit too frequently.

Re: New User Experiencing Major Frustration
Hi Christine: Check out your gmail settings. There are a number of checkboxes that tell applemail which messages to bring in from the server. I don't recall their exact configuration off hand. But, I know they specifically tell your mail client which messages to bring in. Let me know if you need any help finding it and I'll look further. Take care, and welcome.

Re: downloadable audiobooks from public library questions
Hi Christina, I think you're referring to downloading audiobooks using the OverDrive Media Console software. I haven't used this for library downloads for some time because available titles for download seem to be limited at my library in recent years due to state budget cuts. I have had more success requesting audiobook CDs from my library, and ripping those for listening. However, the process is quite accessible. There are two types of OverDrive Media books that are carried in downloadable format. The WMA protected formats can only be downloaded on a Windows computer with the version of OverDrive Media Console for Windows, and the Windows update to support the copy protection scheme in effect. Of these, a subset may be transferred to the iPhone or iPod if the publisher permits it. Some libraries now maintain a separate link for for iPod-Compatible audiobooks, which includes those WMA titles that can be transferred to an iPod or iPhone and the MP3 titles that can all be transferred to an iPod or iPhone, and which all can be downloaded and played on a Mac, as well as on a Windows PC. Before you download an audiobook, you install the OverDrive software (and, in the case of Windows machines, including installations on a Bootcamp partition on your Mac, and I believe also through VMWare virtual machines, you may need to install additional copy protection software). When you check out a library downloadable audiobook, you download a small file with the name of the book and a .odm extension (which are the initials for OverDrive Media). This file sets the permission to play the book that you borrow for the fixed period in the OverDrive software. It is specific to your machine, and you cannot move it (or the audiobook files) to another machine and expect to play the files. Once you download and open this file, an entry for the audiobook will appear in the OverDrive Media Console, and you will have options in a dialog window to download any number of parts. (Although the files are compressed MP3 files, there will be 1 part for each of the original CDs). There are menu bar options, and a number of shortcuts for playing and navigating through the Audiobook using the OverDrive Media Player (a separate window). This interface is very nice, with options to control playback speed, set bookmarks, etc. The actual MP3 files gets downloaded into a folder that is created under the Documents folder of your account: ~/Documents/My Media/MP3 Audiobooks/ in separate folders named for each book. There will also be an OverDrive Welcome folder created in this location. I have always found it easiest just to add the files in these locations to my iTunes library with the normal Command-O selection. At that point, they behave just the same way as any other MP3 file in your iTunes library. You'll want to select them all and use Command-I (Get Info) to go to the Options tab, change the Media Kind popup button to Audiobook, and check the boxes for Remember Playback Position and Skip when Shuffling to have these show up as audiobooks. Alternatively, if you use a program such as Audiobook Builder by Splasm Software, you can join these into one or two audiobook files with chapter markers, and the software will automatically make the adjustments for Media Kind, etc. so that the book shows up under your Books library in iTunes and Audiobooks on the iPhone. I haven't tried adding these audiobooks to an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad using the OverDrive Console, although I've added such downloads to my iPod Nano both through the OverDrive Media Console and directly from my iTunes library. You will not be able to play or transfer the files through the OverDrive Media Console after the expiration date of your books, and the software will give a prompt notice to delete the files if you open it after the expiration date. (Obviously, this doesn't affect the files you transferred to the iPod or iPhone before this date, if you don't reconnect to your computer and sync the device. I'm not sure how it works if you use the OverDrive app for the iPhone, which I've never tried, and which seems to add an extra level of complexity.) I'll point you to an old Mail Archive list post: General Instructions on OverDrive downloadable audiobooks http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg05166.html This gives details on how to run the search and download process through different library web interfaces, which seemed to be the sticking point for some users. Note that post is two years old, and there is no links chooser menu in VoiceOver under Snow Leopard -- just use item chooser menu instead -- you can press l i n first, for a link search. HTH.

I'm thinking about purchasing the 27 inch iMac but had one question before making the leap. Does anyone have any idea whether the newest models have a Texas Instruments chipset for the Firewire port? I called Apple, and they wouldn't say. This was a real bummer, as the chipset on this thing is going to be a deal breaker for me. If anyone has one of these models and isn't sure how to find out what the chipset is, as far as I know, you can find it out if you have boot camp running. The device manager in Windows tells you the manufacturer of the chipset.. Thanks to anyone who might be able to hook me up with this info.

Re: downloadable audiobooks from public library questions
Hi Christina, Yes, the Mac Compatible OverDrive software can be downloaded from: http://overdrive.com/software/omc at the Download OverDrive Media for Macintosh button That information, and also the search instructions, was given in the link to the archived post listed at the end of my message: General Instructions on OverDrive downloadable audiobooks http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg05166.html Incidentally, I'm not linking to the Google Groups page archives, but to the secondary Mail Archive site, which is a simple format, uses plain text, and is great to read from. It also supports access key shortcuts so that you can read down and up threads by pressing Control+n for the next post and Control+p for the previous post. (If you do that, you'll find the correction that the shortcut for the Preferences pane for OverDrive is Command+P, just like all other Mac apps). I have used this software more recently, though, and this may be of interest to you for your kids. Last summer there was a general audiobook reading promotion by publishers at the Audiobook Community young adult group called SYNC, where they offered two free audiobooks each week over 2 and a half months in an effort to encourage audiobook listening among children. These were all excellent productions that paired classic titles with contemporary audiobooks using similar themes. For example, there was Shirley Jackson's The Lottery released with The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Oliver Twist by Dickens paired with Handbook for Boys by Walter Dean Myers. All these titles were issued as free, OverDrive Media MP3 files, with licenses that never expired.

Re: 27 inch iMac Firewire chipset question
Hi Justin, I'm not sure there is a definitive answer to your question, because for most model computers multiple suppliers are used, so there is no guaranteeing that an answer from one user will ensure that the model you buy will have the (older) Texas Instruments chipset. Here's a relevant recent post (e.g. last week) to the ProSound web site that contains links to help you follow up your answer: begin quote As you mentioned, Apple has indeed changed their Firewire chipset in some models to the LSI/Agere FireWire chip-set with which many have seen with whom, including audio interface stalwart RME where the issues has been extensively documented in their forum. There has been a great deal of discussion in the RME forum which ended in a conclusion that when using Mac’s containing the LSI/Agere chipset their audio devices only work when a FireWire drive is placed between the audio interface and the computer. It’s an odd problem, but I can honestly say that you wouldn’t be the first. While I can’t confirm that your computer has this chipset, all the information you need is contained in these lengthy forum posts: http://bit.ly/MacFW and http://bit.ly/MacFW2 and http://bit.ly/MacFW3 end quote The three links provide more information about work-arounds, including the order in which you should connect to devices, to deal with this problem which has been stated as: Apple for the first time uses a PCIe to FW controller in the new iMacs, from Agere. Obviously this one needs some driver optimizations to operate as good as the formerly used PCI TI chips. You can also go directly to the RME forum firewire thread page: http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewforum.php?id=4 which has sticky threads for Workaround for Fireface/iMac problem and Hardware Alert: FireWire solutions with Agere FW chip and read some of the discussion. Also, I'm not sure how bad the current problem is; there was one early batch of LSI/Agere chipsets (revision 6) that really broke things, but that was a while ago, and I think most recent devices using this chip may be at revision 8. An old post (from the first link) summarized this as: begin quote FireWire connection problems with Apple computers: 1. TI chipsets (older iMacs, Macbook, Macbook Pro): no problems 2. LSI PCIe chipsets (newer and current iMacs, Macbook, Macbook Pro): - FW643 (FW800, PCI ID 5901) and FW533 (FW400, PCI ID 5903) Revision 6: connection problems, stop after playback starts - solved with a FW repeater (e. g. Lindy cable, external Lacie FW HD) - FW643 (FW800, PCI ID 5901) and FW533 (FW400, PCI ID 5903) Revision 7: no problems Revision 7 Chipsets are also identified as: FW643E and FW533E. The included chipset can be identified (partially) while pressing CMD + S during the boot signal (Firewire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5901 built-in now active, ...) or via the console (see below). end quote HTH.

Does anyone have any idea whether the newest models have a Texas Instruments chipset for the Firewire port? I called Apple, and they wouldn't say. This was a real bummer, as the chipset on this thing is going to be a deal breaker for me. If anyone has one of these models and isn't sure how to find out what the chipset is, as far as I know, you can find it out if you have boot camp running. The device manager in Windows tells you the manufacturer of the chipset.. Thanks to anyone who might be able to hook me up with this info.

Re: More Itunes questions.
HI, You can reclassify your audio described movies by pressing command-I and then pressing command-5 in the subsequent dialog box. It will give you an option to declare the media type. I believe you can choose TV show or movie or whatever you have listed in your preferences. Adding to an existing playlist is easy. Highlight the song(s) you want. Press VO-shift-M and move down to Add to Playlist. You will see a list of your created playlists. If the media you are importing is not music, it will go into lists other than music. You'll need to reclassify the imported audio as something other than music when you import. For example, I have downloaded a whole series of MP3 files and want them to be classified as audio books. I have selected all of them in my Recently Added list, pressed command-I to change the properties for all of the files and set the media type to Audio Book. Then, I also turn on Remember Playback Position and Skip when shuffling. this way, if I leave a file, it will resume where I left off, and I don't have to hear the file when I'm skipping through music on shuffle. Hope this helps, Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Re: downloadable audiobooks from public library questions
Hello Christina, Esther and All, In addition to Esther's excellent post, I want to add that you might be able to avoid some of the hoops by using the latest version of the Overdrive App which allows patrons of at least some library systems to browse and download titles directly from the iphone, ipad and i-touch. I am able to perform the following functions without requiring any interaction with a Mac or PC: 1. Use the App's button labeled Get Books Plus to find my library using a town or zip code, or by browsing all libraries. 2. Login to my library's system using my library card number. 3. Browse iphone-compatible audiobooks, Adobe epub ebooks and public domain ebooks in my library's collection. 4. Download available audiobook titles directly to the iphone, ipad or ipod touch and listen to them in the Overdrive Media App, which is fully VO accessible. 5. Place a title on hold if it is currently checked out. You supply your email address and will be notified when the title becomes available for checkout. My library currently lists a whopping 314 iphone-compatible audiobook titles and 1000 Adobe epub titles. In addition, they have a few thousand of the public domain ebooks, all of which I'm sure are available for free from many sources including ibooks and kobo. I tried downloading one of the Adobe epub books and was prompted for an adobe ID. I didn't bother following that trail any further so I can't report on the accessibility of the Adobe epub titles. I've pasted a link to the App below. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overdrive-media-console/id366869252?mt=8 Cheers, Bryan Sent from my iPhone.

I think people aren't looking at the big picture here. Accessibility is just a piece of a really big puzzle. A small piece at that. My suggestion is to not even waste anymore time writing dropbox. Start contacting the tech sites like cnet, boygenius, macrumors, etc. Let them know whats going on. Our number is to few, and dollars to short to have a direct effect.

Hi, I'm confused as to why you are going about things in this method. If you wish to sync specific playlists to your iPod, you can do this without drag and drop.

I am able to perform the following functions without requiring any interaction with a Mac or PC: 1.

Browse iphone-compatible audiobooks, Adobe epub ebooks and public domain ebooks in my library's collection. 4. Download available audiobook titles directly to the iphone, ipad or ipod touch and listen to them in the Overdrive Media App, which is fully VO accessible. 5. Place a title on hold if it is currently checked out. You supply your email address and will be notified when the title becomes available for checkout. My library currently lists a whopping 314 iphone-compatible audiobook titles and 1000 Adobe epub titles. In addition, they have a few thousand of the public domain ebooks, all of which I'm sure are available for free from many sources including ibooks and kobo.
