Re: O M G, it's beautiful
I wish for one, I had an apple store near enough to me so I could get to it, and secondly, I wish our public transport were good and safe enough to be used by any sighted, let alone blind person!

O M G, it's beautiful
Cheree Heppe here: This afternoon, I took the light rail to the Apple store to get a hands on look at the IPad 2. The line for the IPad 2 was even longer than the last time, when the first IPad was released. One of the mall security guards tried to warn me away with tales of the long line and of people having to take tickets to get in to buy an IPad 2. Undaunted, I asked the security guard to speak with one of the Apple reps. The Apple rep knew me and I got right in. Thank you, oh, thank you! The store had a bunch of IPad 2's arranged around a square table near the front of the store. The Apple store was jam-packed, as usual, but even more so. My little German shepherd dog guide settled herself under the table in front of where I stood and rested quietly while various curious IPad enthusiasts came and went and I examined the IPad 2. This IPad 2 looks and feels smaller, but it is actually the same outer dimensions as its predecessor. Somebody had an IPad 1 with them and we held the two against each other to prove that the IPad 2 was the same outer dimensions. Where the IPad 2 is smaller is in its weight and thickness, which is immediately noticeable, if one has handled the IPad 1. The IPad 2's rounded edges make it seem even thinner without feeling fragile in any way. There was a fellow customer examining the IPad 2 next to me on my right and I asked him to turn on Voice Over. He was doubtful about being able to do this at first, but I talked him through Settings to General, to Accessibility and through engaging VoiceOver and Triple Click Home. Once those preliminaries were done, my newly met sighted assistant felt more confident about playing with the IPad 2 in front of him. I told him that all IPads have VoiceOver on them and that he could use VoiceOver to read books to him. He sounded interested and amazed. In order to hear VoiceOver in the hubbub of the store, I paired my Bluetooth ear bud with the IPad 2 in front of me. Several previous customers had paired various phones with this IPad 2 and when I left, I didn't unpair those, just my own gadget. Using VoiceOver, I looked around and found a lot more features on this IPad 2. Maybe they loaded a few extra non-native apps on it, but I found three pages of apps. After navigating to YouTube and watching the first part of the original Star Trek's Doomsday Machine, I re-entered Settings; General; Bluetooth and un-paired my ear bud, clicked back to the Home screen and tapped Triple Click Home to return that particular IPad 2 to Sighted Standard Mode.

Re: moving iTunes library
Hi Tim, This was a very helpful explanation. It worked like a charm, and my computer is actually kind enough not to lag anymore.

Re: Question about backup software
Not sure if CCC has that feature, but it saves a lot of time. Smart update figures out what files on the external have been modified, so it says hey, we don't need to add them. So theoretically backups can take minutes instead of hours.

XCode4, Interface Builder and accessibility
Hello coders, While there are many more things accessible about the new version of the XCode4 IDE, the one thing that I am still not able to accomplish is connecting objects to outlets and actions via the Interface Builder. Of course, there are tricks to accomplish a lot of this from inside the code, but it would be great if we could do this via IB, especially when working with other developers.

Re: moving iTunes library
Hi Chris, The easiest way to do this is to simply copy the entire iTunes folder from your Home Directory to the external drive. 1. Go to the Finder. 2. Press cmd-shift-h to open your Home Directory. 3. Navigate to the Music folder. 4. Locate the iTunes folder and press cmd-c to Copy it. 5. Navigate to your external drive and Paste it onto the drive, preferably at the root level but it's not necessary. This could take a while depending on the size of your iTunes folder. 6. After it's done, confirm the sizes of each folder for a rough estimate of whether it did the job or not. 7. You can now start iTunes while holding down the Option key. This will bring up the Choose iTunes Library dialog for you. If it does not, you'l need to quit iTunes and try again. 8. Once the dialog is up, press cmd-shift-c to bring up what's attached to your computer. 9. Locate your external drive, and expand it with VO-back slash. 10. Select the iTunes folder that you just copied over. 11. Press the Open or Choose button, I'm not sure which it is at that point. That should do it for you. You can check to make sure all is well in computerland. All your playlists and everything to do with iTunes should be exactly the same as it was before this action. If everything is OK, then navigate back to the iTunes folder in your Home Directory, and throw it in the Trash. Don't forget to empty your Trash after this otherwise it's not actually going to save you any space. One other thing to note with this set up, this iTunes Library can only be accessed while the external drive is connected to your machine. If you are using a laptop and you leave the external at home, the items in the iTunes Library will not be accessible to you at all. You could, in this case, keep two iTunes Libraries, one with everything and one with a streamlined amount of things. They will remain independent of each other, that is, if you delete something in one, it will not delete in the other and similarly if you add to one, you'll need to add it to the other if you wish it in both. Hope this is clear enough. Later...

Official list position on announcements such as with these quakes / tsunamis
Hello All; Please, just let me start by wishing all of those listers in any effected areas of either these continuing quakes / tsunamis, safety, security and protection. This is an ongoing situation and as such, if there are any further emergency warnings / watches etc, they will most certainly be allowed here on both VIPhone and MacVisionaries. there was an instance about a year ago where a list member suddenly found themselves essentially homeless over night. these kinds of announcements or pleas for help are not something that we'll ever reject here on these lists. Please though, I implore you, do not abuse this. Warnings such as the one we saw earlier today are obviously of the utmost import so please (as with the earlier warning) only post such here to these lists when you know for a fact what is happening and can share real info to help each other out, okay? -As with any other postings here, we need to be truthful, honest and intelligent. So for the record, if there is an emergency, or an individual or group is in some kind of danger or needs real and immediate assistance that members on either MacVisionaries or VIPhone may be able to provide, then (and only then) are these sorts of posts not only completely and totally appropriate for these forums but welcomed. So I do want to sincerely thank Cheree for posting this warning here. There is the real possibility this may have saved someone's life or given advanced notice to someone whom might have benefited from it. So thank you, and once again, I know I speak for all of the list staff when I extend my deepest, best wishes of wellbeing to all of those both on and off of these lists today who may be being touched in some way by this unfolding event. Please be well, All, and treat each other with respect and love. Have a great day / evening wherever you may be.

Creating O'Reily books entirely in plain text.
The below link gives a description by Matt Neuberg on how he writes books using ASCII> It almost sounds like LaTex for general use, in the way that it can be written in a basic editor but has markup appropriate for publishing. Also of some slight interest the book he is talking about is a tutorial for programming the IOS systems. http://www.apeth.net/matt/iosbooktoolchain.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: adium not working with facebook chat?
Hello Kari! Are you using the Facebook plugin for Adium? If you are, then try to do the following: 1. Create a username on your Facebook profile. 2. Go to Adium, preferences, accounts and add account. 3. Select Jabber in the menu. 4. Type in the username you just created on Facebook and type: @chat.facebook.com that would look like this: usern...@chat.facebook.com Enter your password as you are using to login on Facebook. 5. Go to the register acount button and type the following in the edit box labled server: chat.facebook.com IMPORTANT: Hit enter. Don't move anywhere in the dialog box since it will select a wrong server! Delete your old facebook-account from Adium and you should be up and running. HTH.

Re: iOS 4.3 VoiceOver change log
Tyler: this is a prime example of the kind of one-liner that simply makes for more traffic. It's great that you agree. But, do all 900 participants need to know this? Please reread some of the most mod notes which explain this further. There won't be another warning given. Carolyn On Mar 10, 2011, at 6:20 PM, Tyler wood wrote: > I agree.

Re: Question about backup software
Hello Tyler! Intersting, I haven't tried Superduper yet, but I'm going to. Why did you choose Superduper instead of CCC? Of course I understand that about your drive but was that your only reason? As far as I understood CCC and superduper does the exact same things while we are dealing with backups right? Or does one of the two something which the second one doesn't? You mentioned e.g. the smart update feature in Superduper. So I am just curious, smiles. Best regards Thomas Den 11/03/2011 kl. 02.34 skrev Tyler wood: > I bought super duper.

Re: Question about backup software
Hi, Does anyone know if either of these backup programmes can be set to synchronise a single folder from the hard drive to a flash drive, or do they always want to backup the whole system?
