Re: opening HTML documents in text edit for editing purposes

[Jessica and Goldina]

thanks Ash, I'll check out this app as well!! I just use text edit for editing 
my code. definitely press command shift t to make sure your documents are plain 
text and then do the following:

1.  go to text edit preferences with command comma
2.  under the "new document" tab, make sure the radio button for plain text is 
selected.
3.  under the "open and save" tab make sure that:
ignore rich text commands in HTML files is checked
add .txt extension to plain text files is *not* checked

then the next time you go to create or edit an HTML document you won't have to 
worry about rich text and carriage return characters being inserted into your 
code and everything should play nice. you can even use text edit to create CSS 
style sheets.
peace and positivity

Re: Moderator note -was- Re: How many installs do I get with a purchase of Windows 7?

[Les Kriegler]

Actually, I'd like the answer to that question as I recently had to replace my 
hard drive and as a result, lost my Windows 7 install.  Since I wish to run 
Windows7 on our Mac, that question is right on point for me, assuming it's ever 
answered.

So bottom line it is the same thing just meant for one system?  So if I already

installed apps not appearingon iPad2

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

All:
I've installed an ap called "evernote" on my iPad2; however it isn't on the 
device. Itunes says it is installed, and it shows up on iTunes when I sync, but 
it won't appear on the device. It does show up on my phone. Any thoughts?

[Cara Quinn]

Hi All;

This is a quick reminder to keep the Windows discussion related to its use on 
the Mac. So rather than basic Windows questions themselves, if we could simply 
keep the discussion here, related essentially to the Apple experience,that 
would be great!

Thanks so much and do have a wonderful day!

Smiles,

Cara :)

Re: ITunes navigation

[carolyn Haas]

Just another idea: If for some reason that doesn't work, you can shift-vo-end, 
and then vo-arrow back a couple and you're there.  It beats arrowing all the 
way across.

Re: system builder?

[Ben Mustill-Rose]

System builder (Or more comonly known as oem) products are exactly the
same as the retail version but as you said, they're a bit cheaper.
You're only meant to buy one with a piece of hardware that can be used
to upgrade a system such as memory, although between you, me, the list
and the rest of the internet, the oem versions will function perfectly
well regardless of if you are buying any hardware or not.

Obviously I can't suggest that you buy one without buying any
hardware; I'm just trying to give you some helpfull information.

Cheers,
Ben.

EMusic download manager

[Ben J Bloomgren]

I'm a subscriber to the EMusic service. Last night I wanted to download an 
album from there, and I found that they had a .dmg file for the mac. The only 
problem is that I could not even try to install or configure the program. 
Everything said "dimmed scroll area". The preference area wasn't all that 
different. I haven't yet looked in all the menus, but it's not that promising. 
It did download, but it created a folder on my desktop called "My EMusic". I'd 
rather not have that folder there, but if I cannot configure that application, 
I'll just have to leave it there and periodically exponge it. Has anybody on 
this list explored EMusic and/or its mac manager?

Thanks a ton for any suggestions,

Ben

Re: Help with bold text?

Hi Esther,  Thanks very much for this.  I've never needed so much detail in the 
15 years or so that I've been using a pc, but I could always get it with a

Ah well some things we must do.

system builder?

Okay, did a search for the price of windows 7 home premium.  And found a lot of 
different results, and versions.  What does it mean when it says system 
builder?  In the description it says the exact same thing it says for the 
version that does not say system builder, just want to make sure I am getting 
the right thing.  Plus the system builder is a little cheaper.  Have to run 
windows on my mac because of some programs not working on the mac, and want to 
make sure I'm getting the right product.  Thanks.Kliphton SR

even though you are not already in the html area of ITunes. It use to work 100% 
of the time for me. Lately, sometimes it does not work, and I have no clue why 
that is. Type the search term, press enter and do vo command h and see if you 
get to the first heading within the html area. It works most of the time for me.

Re: Help with bold text?

[Esther]

Hi Eric,

Control-Option-Command-B moves me to the next bold text and adding a Shift to 
that moves me to the previous bold text.  The announcement of text attributes 
(VO-T) tells me about the font colors.  The easy way for me to check that this 
is working is to select the web page and send the text to a TextEdit window by 
using the "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection" Service Menu option, which 
I enabled and bound to a keyboard shortcut, so all I have to do is select all 
in the web page with Command-A, then execute my shortcut to send this to 
TextEdit.  Looking through things in TextEdit makes it very easy to tell just 
what font is being used (size and whether it is bold), because I can simply 
select a sample of text and bring up the font table with Command-T.  If I use 
VO-Command-B to find next instance of bold text (as Jon suggested) or 
VO-Shift-Command-B to find previous instance of bold text, I'll move through 
the file to each instance of bold text.  If there's no further bold text, 
issuing VO-Command-B won't move me anywhere, while VO-Shift-Command-B moves me 
to the previous instance of bold text.

I'm not saying this works on the web page you are looking at, but it did on the 
ones that I tried.  Plus, only having to execute two shortcuts (Command-A to 
select all, and the shortcut I chose to assign the service menu shortcut) to 
get the selection to a TextEdit file (in rich text format) is a lot faster than 
mucking around in the HTML navigation, where you might have extraneous image 
elements, etc.

If you want to set up the Services menu option for "New TextEdit Window 
Containing Selection", I wrote this up in a list post back in March:
"Two ways to deal with the problem web site [was Re: Web site problems]":
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg42795.html

This was one of two solutions offered to reading a really awful web site (you 
can read the previous comments by Anne, and the initial post by the person who 
needed a solution).  Sending things to TextEdit via the Services menu strips 
them of a lot of bad HTML coding that affects accessibility, and is also much 
cleaner and faster than trying to copy and paste if you're really just 
interested in the text content.  There are a few corrections to the 
instructions -- I think I incorrectly referred to the "Keyboard Shortcuts 
Table" as "Table of Services" because I was using old notes, and was nearly on 
my way out the door.  Also, a quick way to get to the Services Preferences menu 
with all the correct items selected is to just select something in any 
application, and then navigate to the "Services" menu for that application 
(could be Mail, Safari, TextEdit, or anything -- just make sure to select some 
text or a page first, since the service menu options don't show up if there's 
nothing selected for them to operate on.) At the bottom of the "Services" 
submenu options, there will be a "Services Preferences…" option.  Selecting 
that bypasses about the first 4 steps of the old instructions, since you don't 
have to start by bringing up "System Preferences", finding the "Keyboard" menu, 
selecting the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, and selecting "Services" in the 
"Keyboard Shortcuts Categories".  All those will automatically be set, and you 
can just search for "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection" to check the box 
to enable it under the Services menu.

I've never understood why this Services menu option has received so little 
attention on this list, since I find it really useful.  I use TextEdit a lot 
for handling math symbols or non-latin text.  But I also used to use this 
method to read problematic web pages, including back in the time some years ago 
when there was a Safari bug that sometimes didn't expose the page elements to 
VoiceOver unless you refreshed the page.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Stanza and Kindle Books?

Hi.

How do you do that.

Can you simply download the book and open it in stanza on the mac?

I will be able to solve a major problem, if I can do it that way.

Best regards Annie.

Re: How many installs do I get with a purchase of Windows 7?

[Ashley Cox]

too much. it's about £80 over hear for home premium x64. ultimate is 
about 300. In answer to the question though, microsoft officially only 
allow you to install on 1 machine, whether physical or virtual.


however, this limitation has never stopped me activating (i've had to 
reinstall several times), and if it does use the phone activating 
option, wait till you get put through to tech support, and tell them you 
just rebooted your computer.

press command shift T to make the document plain text.

btw, as a side-note, try usign an app called HTMchen for your code

Re: How many installs do I get with a purchase of Windows 7?

Why would one want to get a Mac to run windows when you could get a windows 
machine to run Windows?  How amusing!  Just because the Mac  is so much better 
to run windows.

Re: Help with bold text?

Thanks for the suggestions, but it looks like VO Simply isn't recognizing the

How many installs do I get with a purchase of Windows 7?

[Eric Brinkman]

Hi listers,

I bought Windows 7 to use with VMWare Fusion.  I'm thinking about
purchasing a new Mac, and would like to run Windows on it.  Is there
anything special I need to do with regard to authorization (as in
Jaws)?  I will only run Windows on my new Mac, so is there anything I
should do to "uninstall" windows from my old mac?

Thanks in advance.

Eric

Re: Help with bold text?

[Jon Cohn]

Perhaps vo-shift-command-b to search in reverse?
 The other possibility is that vo-command-c  might help you out.

Help with bold text?

[erik burggraaf]

Hi,  I'm stuck.  I've got to look at some information on the web where certain 
elements are marked in bold.  So, I tooled around in the hotkeys list and found 
that control option T reads the text atributes of the current item, but when I 
press it, nothing happens.
Then I went to the find menu and discovered that control option command B finds 
the bold elements on the webpage.  So I tried that, and nothing happened.

Any ideas on how I can get this info?

Question About Quicktime Player

[Ezzie Buenito]

Hello,

This question might sound lame. How exactly can I record part of 
an iTunes podcast or stream without recording anything else 
coming from my room or anywhere at home?

Re: Function Keys in BootCamp with Windows 7 Ultimate?

[erik burggraaf]

Hi, the function keys in windows should follow the conventions you set up on 
your mac.

Shift f10 will bring up a context menu, although windows seven has conveniently 
offered you two different context menus for some of the main objects.  One is 
on the applications key and the other is on the shift f10 key.

It's also worth mentioning that key remap for macbook will place a standard 
calculator pad on the right hand side of your portable or bluetooth keyboard 
which would then offer you an awkward but functional insert key as well as 
access to the mouse curser functions of your screen reader of choice, in my 
case, window-eyes.

Hope this helps,

Function Keys in BootCamp with Windows 7 Ultimate?

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Once booted into Windows through Bootcamp, what happens, on my macbook, and 
my mac eluminum bluetooth keyboard regarding the 12 F keys?  for instance, 
if I'm using JAWS and want to get the time of day, first of all there is no 
insert key on the macbook keyboard nor the eluminum bluetooth one, which 
means I'll have to use the caps lock key through laptop keyboard layout. 
That's perfectly fine, no big deal in the least.  And oh yeah, I definitely 
know in JAWS 12 how to configure that.  NO issue at all.  My concern is 
however, getting back to this example, would I then want to do caps 
lock+F12, or would it be fn!+capslock+F12?  In other words, more simply put, 
are the F keys going to function by default as hardware, or as software?  In 
SnowLeopard, I've configured my macbook, as wellas my friend's so that by 
default the keys are software based, instead of the default behavior, 
whereby they are hardware based.  Will that carry ovber to my Wiundows 
installation on Bootcamp?


Also, where will my application's key be located, or do I simply just need 
to do shift+F10, like I do on my apple keyboard I got U S Beed to my desktop 
windows machine.


Thanks for any and all answers.

Chris.

 Hi,
 
 With my Focus Blue from Freedom this happens with Danish contractions 
 whenever I route the cursor to a letter that is written as a letter an

 router key to place the cursor at the letter. I am not sure I would use 
 this at all, only in the study mode like FS has done, but not so that it

Re: Stanza and Kindle Books?

[Jane]

You can take the Kindle book from Stanza, copy it to the clipboard, put it into 
TextEdit, find the strange symbols, and replace with what they ought to be.  
Then you can convert to epub for iBooks.

Thanks Guys! Was: Re: HELP!!! My Mac won't turn on!

[Dan]

Hello Guys,
I just want to thank all of you for your suggestions.
I've decided to use CCC.
These are both really good apps and it was a really close thing in terms of 
deciding which to use.
After playing around with both apps, I really like the UI that CCC uses.
Now I'm really looking forward to Lion.

Dan

 Hi,
 
 Ezzie, here's yet another suggestion: it's possible that you have a bad 
 sector on your hard drive that prevents your Mac from completing the boot 
 up.  If so, it's still possible to boot your Mac from an alternate drive, 
 and also access your original disk (any parts that are not damaged), if 
 you've created bootable clones with either Carbon Copy Cloner or 
 SuperDuper! as part of your backup strategy.
 
 To boot from a backup that's been created as a bootable clone, connect the 
 drive, then hold down the Option key while you turn on your computer to 
 start booting. Once the boot process initiates, you press the right (or 
 left) arrow key and then press the return key to indicate that you want to 
 switch your boot drive from the default. VoiceOver won't speak until your 
 system boots up (from your cloned drive), but once it does, you can log in 
 and take a look at your current hard drive and access or copy files.
 
 I keep a bootable clone of my system's hard drive for emergency recovery 
 purposes.  Generally, I'll make one of these as a backup action before 
 major system upgrades, so I have a complete, working image of my system 
 before the upgrade.  This type of backup is different from Time Machine 
 backups, which are more suited to retrieving individual files you were 
 working on a few weeks ago that might have been deleted. Bootable clones 
 of hard drives are useful in the case of sudden, catastrophic failures, 
 but they take more time to make, so you don't create them as frequently.  
 The two popular sources are:
 • Bombich Software (for Carbon Copy Cloner, donationware, suggested $15, 
 free to educational users)
 http://www.bombich.com/
 • Shirt Pocket (for SuperDuper! $27.95, but free trial download supports 
 full cloning feature)
 http://www.shirt-pocket.com/   
 
 Both sources of software provide good results, but new users may feel more 
 comfortable with SuperDuper! whose documentation 
 goes into more details about how backups work.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

Re: Stanza and Kindle Books?

[Chinyoka on Macbook]

Hi,

I always read Kindle books using Stanza. however, I have noticed that there are 
some symbols that get in your way like Euro Macro etc. Still, you can follow 
the flow of the reading if you can only filter out mentally these characters.

Re: copy and pace text from iphone

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

no, not really.  Set your rotor to word if you wish to select words, and 
characters if you wish to select characters.  Now, put 2 fingers on the screen 
and spread them apart to select text by the setting you've chosen in the rotor. 
 Move your fingers together to deselect.  After you've selected the text, turn 
your rotor to edit, then choose copy, or cut and double tap.  Navigate to the 
place you want to place the copied text, swipe to paste in the edit section of 
the rotor and double tap

Calibre Command Line?

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, folk,

I've had someone sighted assist me in adjusting the preferences in the Calibre 
GUI to install command-line options. Now, I know enough about command-line to 
be dangerous. I have no idea, when looking at the user's guide, what the syntax 
is. I don't know whether to put the calibre, convert-ebook and input and output 
options all together in one command, or whether I will be getting prompts all 
the way. Could someone possibly spell out a sample code for making ebook 
conversion happen?

Thanks,
Teresa

Has anyone tried to read a Kindle book with Stanza? I was surprised to note 
that one of stanza's supported file formats is Kindle ebooks.

 Got this off of another list. enjoy.
 
 good evening all ,
 here iis a new gps app , where finally we can read the map wigh voiceover .
 ***
 
 Ariadne GPS is now available on the App Store.
 http://www.ariadnegps.eu - mailto:info%40ariadnegps.eu.
 
 Yet another app that uses the GPS! Maybe not.
 There are some innovative aspects in this application that are worth 
 mentioning.
 
 The app offers you the possibility to know your position at any time and 
 monitor it while walking, you can decide to be informed about what changes 
 along the way, street numbers, street names, etc..
 There is also the option to save your favorite points and to be alerted, 
 when you approach one of them, for example when you are on a train, bus, 
 etc... using sound, vibration, and even voice, if you are using VoiceOver.
 Furthermore, there is an interesting and innovative feature, namely the 
 ability to explore the map. The same way a person who sees the map has a 
 whole view of what surrounds them or a view of a specific location, those 
 using VoiceOver can now have an idea of the conformation of a certain area 
 by tapping the map with their finger.
 Moving your finger on the map, you can hear the street names and numbers 
 pronounced by VoiceOver and make yourself a mental map of the area.
 
 This application is fully accessible and provides access to details that 
 are normally unavailable to people who use the speech synthesizer and can 
 therefore be particularly useful for the blind and visually impaired.
 
 The app uses the GPS and a remote service, which at the moment is Google. 
 This means that some information may be inaccurate or unavailable at 
 certain times (depending on the gps signal, the network and server 
 availability). However, we are working to improve this information and 
 functionality also using different services and mechanisms.
 
 The app is localized in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, 
 Italian, Dutch and Danish. 
 
 For more details you can visit the app web site at 
 http://www.ariadnegps.eu. 
 To give us suggestions, report problems, request information, please send 
 an email to mailto:info%40ariadnegps.eu.
 
 The app is available at: 
 http://itunes.apple.com/app/ariadne-gps/id441063072?mt=8
 or by looking for Ariadne GPS in your national App Store

ITunes navigation

[Ronald McEwan]

Hi all,

When in ITunes within the store is there  a simple way to get to the content 
instead of using VO right-arrow till I get to the HTML container?

Re: [aiphone] new gps app per iphone and ipad

[Ricardo Walker]

No,

This is do to the lack of getting turn by turn directions.  Its very good 
though.  Its like a more accurate Sendero look around in my opinion.  There are 
a few small changes I'd like to see in this app though.  The biggest one is the 
app not take up the entire screen.  I miss my status bar to check my battery, 
time, etc.

downloading audio?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

I have a situation where I have a link to an audio recording on the web.  
Rather than listen to it online, I'd like to download it and listen to it at 
another time.  Is it possible to do this?  If so, can someone tell me how?
Best,
Donna

Re: Dealing with the standard save dialog from applications?

Hi Anne,
Thanks for that tip! I've been trying for the past week to figure out why this

cmd-3 fixed it.

Re: HELP!!! My Mac won't turn on!

[Eric Oyen]

another idea: put the install dvd in the optical drive, then hold down the C 
key during bootup. this will force a boot into the install dvd. wait  for the 
optical drive to spin down (about 2 minutes then hit command-F5 and voiceover 
will start. after this, go to the utilities menu item, start disk utility, 
highlight the HD and go into the first aid screen. choose verify disk and let 
it check the drive. if something shows up in the pain (table) above that, then 
hit repair disk.

at this point, you might make you already have a backup of the disk. this way, 
if anything is seriously wrong with the disk, you will have a recent copy to 
work from while you order a replacement HD.

I have had to do this more than a few times since OS X tiger.

Re: Dealing with the standard save dialog from applications?

[Doug Lawlor]

Strange, I can't seem to get this to work here at all. Here is what I just did:
1. In a mail message I pressed Command+shift+s to open the save as dialog. This 
brought up a standard dialog. 
2. Pressed shift+command+h which gave me my home directory.
3. Navigated to the file list and interacted with the list. 
4. Arrowed down to the documents directory. 
5. turned off quicknav and then tried pressing the right arrow key to expand 
the folder. Nothing happened. I pressed the enter key and the folder opened. I 
then navigated to the save button and pressed it. The dialog  stayed on the 
screen. This is the strangest thing.

Hi,

Ezzie, here's yet another suggestion: it's possible that you have a 
bad sector on your hard drive that prevents your Mac from completing 
the boot up.  If so, it's still possible to boot your Mac from an 
alternate drive, and also access your original disk (any parts that 
are not damaged), if you've created bootable clones with either 
Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! as part of your backup strategy.


To boot from a backup that's been created as a bootable clone, 
connect the drive, then hold down the Option key while you turn on 
your computer to start booting. Once the boot process initiates, you 
press the right (or left) arrow key and then press the return key to 
indicate that you want to switch your boot drive from the 
default. VoiceOver won't speak until your system boots up (from your 
cloned drive), but once it does, you can log in and take a look at 
your current hard drive and access or copy files.


I keep a bootable clone of my system's hard drive for emergency 
recovery purposes.  Generally, I'll make one of these as a backup 
action before major system upgrades, so I have a complete, working 
image of my system before the upgrade.  This type of backup is 
different from Time Machine backups, which are more suited to 
retrieving individual files you were working on a few weeks ago that 
might have been deleted. Bootable clones of hard drives are useful 
in the case of sudden, catastrophic failures, but they take more 
time to make, so you don't create them as frequently.  The two 
popular sources are:
• Bombich Software (for Carbon Copy Cloner, donationware, suggested 
$15, free to educational users)

http://www.bombich.com/
• Shirt Pocket (for SuperDuper! $27.95, but free trial download 
supports full cloning feature)

http://www.shirt-pocket.com/ 

Both sources of software provide good results, but new users may 
feel more comfortable with SuperDuper! whose documentation goes into 
more details about how backups work.

Hi,

If you have one of the newer laptops where the battery is not 
removable, do the following:


1.  Make sure the unit is turned off.
2.  Plug in your power adapter to the computer and the wall socket.
3.  Hold down the left-side shift, control and option keys at the 
same time as you hold down the power button.

4.  Release all keys/power button simultaneously.
5.  Wait a few seconds then press the power button and see if it 
turns on.


This process is a last resort and should only be done after you've 
tried a number of things.  I assuming that due to the fact that 
your Mac will not power up, the other things are not available to 
you.  What this process does is reset the System Management 
Controller (SMC) which controls battery management, power button 
control and a number of other things which can sometimes, in rare 
occasions get confused.  If this process does not fix your issue, 
you'll need to send your unit in for service.  Also, if you have a 
desktop unit instead of a laptop, there is a different process that 
will have to be applied.


Later...

What I've had to do on several occasions is to disconnect all 
cables from the Mac, turn it upside down, remove the battery [it 
it's a MacBook Pro or other type of Mac Laptop, hold the battery 
in my hands for a count of 20 seconds, reinsert the battetery, 
turn the power on, holding the power button down for another count 
of 20 seconds, then release the power button; and, usually, the 
Mac reboots and behaves normally, again, Let ne know if this trick 
works? And Apple Tech taught this to me.


Sometimes, I have this happen when I have open too many windows, 
Time Machine running, running Photoshop elements, MS word, 
TextEdit and a host of other programmes such as iPhoto, several 
audio and video internet connections on as well as gmail, Preview, 
etc. You get the picture. Good Luck!

I think you may have to give someone a call at Apple Support
to see what they have to say.
