Re: changing os language in lion on my new mac
Hello Ioana, To change the language, go to System Preferences and select the Language & Text pane (Langue&Texte) in French. Select the first tab, then navigate right to the table of languages. Interact and navigate down to English. Press Option-Up Arrow to move it to the top of the list. The changes will take effect the next time you log in.

Has anyone successfully done jobs with Amazon Mechanical Turk?
I have a day job right now, but I'm looking to make a few extra bucks and was wondering about doing jobs using Amazon Mechanical Turk. One problem I have noticed already is that they have an inaccessible capcha to sign up for the service, but aside from that, I am just wondering if any of you have done any projects on there successfully using a Mac. They apparently have some work there that I could theoretically do, like transcribing podcasts, etc. I was hoping someone could specifically address accessibility issues with regard to the Mac on this list, but any more in-depth experiences with Amazon Mechanical Turk would be most appreciated off list at canepri...@gmail.com.

Too much verbiage being read in message list in Mail
Hi guys. How can I cut down on the amount of information I see when going through the message list in Mail? I am using Lion with the new mail view instead of the classic, but I find that there is a lot of useless chatter. I'd really like to get rid of the date stamp column, as I don't care about that. I knew how to do this under the classic mail view, but haven't been able to figure out how to do it with the new view.

Re: Samantha Settings
Lol, too funny. I actually have sampled both voices. Good to know about the bug. I was using Fiona, the scottish voice for a bit tonight, and she was doing that freaky business you mentioned.

Re: Samantha Settings
Hey Tracy. The reason why you hear some shrillness or freaky pitch changes with the nuance voices, not just Samantha is because there's a bug with the voices that hasn't been fixed yet. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the next update of Lion because I want her to read my emails and stuff. I've used Alex all the time in Snow Leopard and I'm kinda getting bored with him. Also there are 2 versions of her, the regular Samantha voice that sounds human and Samantha Compact which is found in the I devices and sounds like a robot that has a soar throat. Lol. Which one did you get? If you got the compact, the regular voice sounds better. HTH. Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: parallels?
I have not looked at it, but maybe I will, though unless they have totally rewritten it, it will not be accessible. For some reason, why I have no idea, they chose to use nonstandard custom controls for everything instead of the standard coco framework.

Re: VMWare Fusion 4 is out and accessible
Ok, I have fusion 4, they didn't mention an upgrade price, I guess because it was already discounted. There is no longer an install, though the fusion application is now about 400 mb in size. I didn't know if you had to uninstall version 3 first, but I did. Just copy the app tothe applications folder, and when you open it, it will ask for the serial number. Much more convenient now that everything is contained in one application. The audio is now high definition, though I can't really tell a difference. Anyway, it is just as accessible as the previous versions.

Re: subscribing googlegroup without account?
Hi Anouk, I have checked for a long time on this. But it used to be that if your email was different than gmail all you had to do was to open a google account with your none gmail and sign up with whatever domainj email you have. So in short it is possible with whatever email, as long as you attach that email to a google account. Sort of the same concept of certifying your passport for your none hotmail email in msn.

Re: not able to edit pages document?
Jessica, I am not sure if anyone helped you yet, but here are some suggestions. try using command "a" for selecting all and paste it on a text edit to work in there instead, Just for deadline sake. I am ast minute kind of person, when it comes down to homeworks! :) If that does not work, check if you have your nav quick keys on or off, to edited in pages you want to be interacting with the body of the document and have your quick nav off. when the keys are on sometimes it gives me trouble. Another thing I can think of is restart your computer and your pages, see if that does it. cant think of any thing else, without more information. did you up dated something or some change went on between the last time you opened and now?

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Oh no, then I will have to get used to something else? Oh no! :) :) :) Just kidding, I believe it makes sense what you are saying. But Mac has a lot of keyboard shortcuts and options, so I think that is why they made vo keys to be a combination to insure no conflicts and also no overlaps, so we could also enjoy of mac native or customizable shortcut keys. But I am with you, one key would work well! Although, I confess more and more I go away for the regular vo keys.

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Hi I couldn't agree more. We should definately be able to configure the caps lock as the VO keys. Not because this is the way that other screen readers do it but because it is in my opinion a smart way of having it. The caps lock key is for most people hardly ever used.

Re: Fusion 4, Jaws Video Intercept
Hi Keith, I went through the upgrade process just fine. I didn't have to do anything with the jaws video intercept. I wish I knew what is going wrong for you there, but the problem isn't something I've heard of. The only thing is that for some reason Jaws wants me to reactivate my license. I guess VMWare changed the virtual hardware that they emulate enough that it looks like a different machine to Jaws. I haven't completed this yet, but I'll post if anything goes wrong with the Activation process when I get around to it. I'm experimenting with giving the VM 1 GB of Ram instead of 2. I want to see if I can improve performance of Mac applications without causing the windows performance to degrade. I'm waiting to settle on a hardware configuration before reactivating jaws. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
I know, Thats why I said, the default keyboards come with only 1 control key. Because, you have to specify you want a wired keyboard when ordering a Mac.

changing os language in lion on my new mac
HI all, I have just gotten a Mac mini 2010 with lion. The OS language is French and I do speech it fluently but all my technical vocabulary is in English. Could anyone tell me how to change it? Ideally step-by step since I am quite new at this. I got to system preferences and found the language table but did not know how to change the order of languages so that English is on top. Thanks for helping out! a very excited new user of the mac! Ioana -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: VMWare Fusion 4 is out and accessible
I will see about the upgrade as soon as I finish with email, I'm glad fusion continues to be accessible, since paralels refuses to make their application work with voiceover. Even when sighted people ask me which program to get I suggest fusion, I will not help to support a company who has been made aware of accessibility issues and refuses to fix them, which is the case with paralels.

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
If you ask me, they should just get rid of the VO command all together. I think just assigning 1 modifier key as your "VO key would be a lot more efficient. For example, I rather press caps left or right arrow than control option left or right arrow. Especially since all macs come with a keyboard with only 1 control key by default now.

Missy, are you a student, by any chance? If you are windows is very cheap. There are some online stores that sell it really cheap specially xp versions.

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Hey Rachel, I also use an MBP; however, I do typically use an external keyboard, but mainly since the machine is sitting on the desk. I believe with all the commanders available, it almost negates the need for the VO command. :) Well not quite, but getting close. What do you think?

Re: Data Detector
If you open the short cut menu with VO shift M on some text that says data detector, you can perform various actions. For example, if someone sends an email containing the date and time of a meeting, I can use VO shift M to bring up a menu that includes the option of creating a quick cal event. Choose that option, and the information will automatically be entered into the edit fields for creating an iCal event. You may have to edit things like the title of the event, but it is still faster than starting from scratch. I believe you can also do things like add an email or phone number to contacts with VO shift M on a data detector containing either of these two pieces of information. I agree it can be annoying, and there ought to be some way of controlling when it is and is not announced, but it can also be a pretty handy feature.

RE: VMWare Fusion 4 is out and accessible
I just bought fusion about 4 months ago, and got the 1 year update plan or whatever it is. Will I get version 4 if I check for updates, or how does that work? I'm still not actively using it yet because I haven't been able to afford a copy of windows to install on my mac, but if there is an upgrade that I'm entitled to, I want to be sure and get it. Thanks! Missy -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Matthew Campbell Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 12:10 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: VMWare Fusion 4 is out and accessible Hello my fellow Mac users. VMWare has just released VMWare Fusion 4 today. For those that don't know or who are new to the mac, Fusion lets you run windows on you're Mac without having to reboot in to a separate OS. Fusion is $50 until the end of the year but will go up to $80 after that point. Now for some great news. Fusion works amazingly well with Vo as far as I can see. There's a couple unlabelled buttons hear and there but these can be figured out quite easily. The easiest thing to get stuck on is the Virtual Machine Library but I'll give steps here on how to best navigate it. When Fusion is opened for the first time, you will be presented with the Library screen where you will find a scroll area. Interact with this and you will see some unlabelled buttons. The number of buttons you will see depends on how many OS's you have running. I had two, one for windows and one for Ubuntu. In order to see which button is which, just Press VO down arrow and the VM in focus will be announced. So to recap, the power button is on top and the name is underneath kind of like you'd find things in a store where the product is on the shelf and the price is on a little tag on the front of the shelf. Hope this helps and feel free to email the list if I can possibly help further. Matthew Campbell -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

You can then use the fat32 partition to share data between windows and the mac, and you can use the os10 partition to maintain a backup of everything on your mac. Let's begin by looking at how to resize your macintosh hd partition and have a sandbox beside it. It involves a few steps which I'll describe below. Not key by key though. I'll assume that you have some mac knowledge, but just don't know where to go yet, and in what order. Here you go. First open disk utility, to carefully inspect your current configuration so that you know what you will be changing.. To do this, Go into the finder, say, your desktop, and press command shift u from there. This will open your utilities folder. Here, find disk utility dot app, and open it. In the disk table on the left, interact, and look at your current disk configuration. You need to know a few things before you go do something here. A disk is just a disk, and you cannot use it directly. It needs to have a partition to hold the file system, inside of which you can store files. There are many file systems, one of them is fat32, and another is mac os10 extended journaled. A filesystem lives inside a partition, so the partition is the container for the file system on the disk. From the disk perspective, you first have an empty disk. Then you create a partition on the disk, spanning all or only part of the disk size. As you are creating the new partition, you must choose which file system is going to live inside it, because The partition must be formatted for use with the type of file system that you want to use. In other words, the way you format your partition, becomes a property of the partition. So, on your external usb drive, you can have a fat32 partition, and a mac os10 partition, and you can have 2 separate mac os 10 extended journaled partitions on your internal mac hard drive. In both cases, You then just allocate one bit to the first partition, and the rest of the disk space to the other. You do this by setting the size text fields inside disk utility. See below. Once inside disk utility on the mac, you will see your hard disk as the brand of physical disk inside the machine, for example Hitachi 500gb. This item in the disk table is usually expanded, meaning there can be something inside it. And indeed, there is. It's your macintosh hd partition, formatted as mac os10 extended journaled, with a size of your entire disk. What you want to have, is not 1 big partition of 500 or 320 gb, what have you, but you would like to shrink the os10 partition and make it 20 gb smaller. You will use these 20 gigabytes for the sandbox partition. This can be done, but it can't be done non-destructively. In other words: resizing your partitions with disk utility is inde

Re: how to uninstall old version of fusion
In the disk image that you download fusion in, there's an app called uninstall fusion, or something similar. It should do the job, at least for version 3. Hth, Paul.

Re: Questionabout Super Doopper and external drives
Hi Bill Holton, You're right. Running Lion inside a vm is a good solution if you don't want to upgrade from snow leopard yet. I'm running Lion to my full satisfaction and it's running natively. The sandbox is a breeze to work with once you get the hang of it. It took me the reading of a chapter in de super duper manual, and I was ready to go. I've never attempted to set up anything else than windows inside a virtual environment in fusion myself yet. Interested to hear how you succeed. Paul.

RE: Questionabout Super Doopper and external drives
Thanks for these great instructions. It looks like the new version of VM Fusion will allow me to run Lion as a virtual machine, which sounds like it will be easier than sandboxing. But I do need to partition and format my coming USB HD so the instructions are no less appreciated. Thanks. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Erkens Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 1:13 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Questionabout Super Doopper and external drives Hi Bill Holton, You can repartition an external drive, and create both a fat32 windows partition and a mac os 10 extended journaled one with mac disk utility. You can then use the fat32 partition to share data between windows and the mac, and you can use the os10 partition to maintain a backup of everything on your mac. Let's begin by looking at how to resize your macintosh hd partition and have a sandbox beside it. It involves a few steps which I'll describe below. Not key by key though. I'll assume that you have some mac knowledge, but just don't know where to go yet, and in what order. Here you go. First open disk utility, to carefully inspect your current configuration so that you know what you will be changing.. To do this, Go into the finder, say, your desktop, and press command shift u from there. This will open your utilities folder. Here, find disk utility dot app, and open it. In the disk table on the left, interact, and look at your current disk configuration. You need to know a few things before you go do something here. A disk is just a disk, and you cannot use it directly. It needs to have a partition to hold the file system, inside of which you can store files. There are many file systems, one of them is fat32, and another is mac os10 extended journaled. A filesystem lives inside a partition, so the partition is the container for the file system on the disk. From the disk perspective, you first have an empty disk. Then you create a partition on the disk, spanning all or only part of the disk size. As you are creating the new partition, you must choose which file system is going to live inside it, because The partition must be formatted for use with the type of file system that you want to use. In other words, the way you format your partition, becomes a property of the partition. So, on your external usb drive, you can have a fat32 partition, and a mac os10 partition, and you can have 2 separate mac os 10 extended journaled partitions on your internal mac hard drive. In both cases, You then just allocate one bit to the first partition, and the rest of the disk space to the other. You do this by setting the size text fields inside disk utility. See below. Once inside disk utility on the mac, you will see your hard disk as the brand of physical disk inside the machine, for example Hitachi 500gb. This item in the disk table is usually expanded, meaning there can be something inside it. And indeed, there is. It's your macintosh hd partition, formatted as mac os10 extended journaled, with a size of your entire disk. What you want to have, is not 1 big partition of 500 or 320 gb, what have you, but you would like to shrink the os10 partition and make it 20 gb smaller. You will use these 20 gigabytes for the sandbox partition. This can be done, but it can't be done non-destructively. In other words: resizing your partitions with disk utility is indeed destructive, because it will destroy all data on the disk. In all partitions. What you can do is back up everything, then recreate your macintosh hd partition 20 gb smaller, create a sandbocx partition beside it, and then restore your data. This is painless, as I experienced yesterday and today. You can use super duper. If you have one, take an external usb hard disk with as much space as you have on your internal hard drive in your mac. Your external disk can of course be larger, but you will need at most the size of your mac drive, if you have it filled up. Super duper can create a backup of your entire system, all apps, system files, preferences and all that. Even the unregistered version of super duper does it without restriction and will make the usb backup disk bootable too. Once everything is backed up, you can restart your mac and boot off of the external disk. Note: If you have no other usb disks connected other than your external backup hard disk, and as long as you only have 1 partition on the mac drive, you can boot from the usb disk by turning on your mac, and during the startup sound, hold down the option key for some 10 seconds or so. Release it, and you will be in a menu. The cursor is on macintosh hd, to boot from. Arrow left once, hit enter, and you will instead boot from the usb drive. It takes longer but it works. End of note. When booted from the external drive, you have your entire system as usual. Voice over as well. Because everything was backed up, both disk utilit

Re: VMWare Fusion 4 is out and accessible
The new fusion is a 64 Bit coco application which means that it will supposedly run faster. I'd go to they're web site and check out the features they outline on the product page. Personally, I find it runs a little faster. What I did was sign up for a 30 day trial. I'm going to go and buy it as soon as I get home after class. It'll be worth the $50 I think but you can't go wrong with a 30 day trial. Hope this helps.

Note: If you have no other usb disks connected other than your external backup hard disk, and as long as you only have 1 partition on the mac drive, you can boot from the usb disk by turning on your mac, and during the startup sound, hold down the option key for some 10 seconds or so. Release it, and you will be in a menu. The cursor is on macintosh hd, to boot from. Arrow left once, hit enter, and you will instead boot from the usb drive. It takes longer but it works. End of note. When booted from the external drive, you have your entire system as usual. Voice over as well. Because everything was backed up, both disk utility and super duper are on this external drive too. So now, start disk utility and look at what you have in the disk table. You will see your mac hard drive and its macintosh hd partition, you will see your external usb disk that you are now working from with its partitions, and you may see something called a super drive. That is simply your mac's internal cd dvd drive. Now, You want to repartition your internal mac hard drive into 2 new partitions: macintosh hd 20 gb smaller, and the sandbox partition be

Some questions about pages
Hi, all. I'm wondering how to access the inspector in pages. It is my understanding that things like spacing, word count, and other useful things can be accessed there. I've looked through the menus, and can't find anything that is labeled inspector. Also, is there a way to get pages to open a blank template automatically? Right now, when I open it, it makes me choose the template I want, and I'd really like not to have to do that. Any help with this would be appreciated. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

RE: Questionabout Super Doopper and external drives
Hi. Looks like VM Fusion will now allow you to run Lion in a VM Window, which I would imagine would work just as well as the sandbox. But I do have a question. If I were to take my external drive to my brother's house could I use the bootable backup to basically run my own computer on his machine and then resynch the files when I get home/ -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Erkens Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 9:04 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Questionabout Super Doopper and external drives Hi Bill, James and others, Super duper is equal in its functionality as far as backing up and bootable backups go. CCC is free. Super duper costs 30 dollars or so. Super duper has an extra bit of functionality though, that I really love, now that I messed up my system installing the wrong drivers and so on in the past. Super duper allows you to create a sand box. A sand box is an entire copy of your mac os 10 system installation residing on another partition of your hard drive, that you can use to play around with software updates, system drivers you install such as mac fuse and others, and you can mess with applications, before you go ahead and actually install them for real into your main macintosh hd. If you want to test a new hardware device driver, and you are not sure of the outcome, whether or not it is going to disturb you or something in your system, you can install the new driver inside the sandbox. if you find out that everything works just fine inside your second os, the sandbox, then you can safely install the new drivers into your real system. What super duper does, is that it requires you to repartition your drive into 2 pieces. One for your normal system, and a 20 gb partition for the sandbox. But then, Once that is done, you have the great advantage of testing new drivers and software inside your sandbox, before taking the plunge to install them into the daily operating system. If, on the other hand, you find that the driver is not working for you, is too intrucive or what ever reason you may have to discard it, then all you need to do is copy your clean macintosh hd system files over to the sandbox, replacing the mess you created there. Now, you also got rid of the faulty driver in the sandbox. No matter if you boot from your macintosh hd or from the sandbox partition, you always have your documents etc at hand. This is because if you boot from macintosh hd, then the documents are accessible as usual. But from the sandbox, they are reference using symbolic links, so that, even though the sandbox is just a copy of the real os, you can access all your private stuff from there too. That is wonderful in super duper. You should very carefully read the manual though, before you begin sandboxing, so that you are aware of what's happening. For example, you should never copy the sandbox back to macintosh hd. That makes you loose all your private stuff. CCC can backup and make the backup bootable, so if you don't need the sand box functionality, then ccc is perfect too.

Re: jumping to end of message list in mail
Hi there! Well I have not heard anyone mention the jump commands! If you could take a look in vo+h+h under the jump section to see if they are still there in Lion! If they are still there you press vo+shift+J then vo+shift+either up or down arrow depending on where you want! Of course using the vo+shift+up or down without vo+shift+j will either interact or stop interacting! This jump command keeps you in the same column [like subject] and I've set a keyboard commander shortcut for mine! So all I have to do is press right option and either 1 or 2 to go from top to bottom and back! hth Colin On 14 Sep 2011, at 14:04, Yuma Decaux wrote: > Ok, > > Let's try this again. > > In my list of messages, i want to go to the first message or last message in > the list.

RE: Questionabout Super Doopper and external drives
Thanks. The sandbox seems like it would also be a more convenient way to get into the Mac if your main system gets messed up. How hard is it to repartition your ddrive on the fly? Also, any suggestions on what I should do with my coming USB drive so I can use it both to use SuperDuper and have space to swap it to my Windows PC to back it up with a PC backup program? Thanks. Bill -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Erkens Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 9:04 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Questionabout Super Doopper and external drives Hi Bill, James and others, Super duper is equal in its functionality as far as backing up and bootable backups go. CCC is free. Super duper costs 30 dollars or so. Super duper has an extra bit of functionality though, that I really love, now that I messed up my system installing the wrong drivers and so on in the past. Super duper allows you to create a sand box. A sand box is an entire copy of your mac os 10 system installation residing on another partition of your hard drive, that you can use to play around with software updates, system drivers you install such as mac fuse and others, and you can mess with applications, before you go ahead and actually install them for real into your main macintosh hd. If you want to test a new hardware device driver, and you are not sure of the outcome, whether or not it is going to disturb you or something in your system, you can install the new driver inside the sandbox. if you find out that everything works just fine inside your second os, the sandbox, then you can safely install the new drivers into your real system. What super duper does, is that it requires you to repartition your drive into 2 pieces. One for your normal system, and a 20 gb partition for the sandbox. But then, Once that is done, you have the great advantage of testing new drivers and software inside your sandbox, before taking the plunge to install them into the daily operating system. If, on the other hand, you find that the driver is not working for you, is too intrucive or what ever reason you may have to discard it, then all you need to do is copy your clean macintosh hd system files over to the sandbox, replacing the mess you created there. Now, you also got rid of the faulty driver in the sandbox. No matter if you boot from your macintosh hd or from the sandbox partition, you always have your documents etc at hand. This is because if you boot from macintosh hd, then the documents are accessible as usual. But from the sandbox, they are reference using symbolic links, so that, even though the sandbox is just a copy of the real os, you can access all your private stuff from there too. That is wonderful in super duper. You should very carefully read the manual though, before you begin sandboxing, so that you are aware of what's happening. For example, you should never copy the sandbox back to macintosh hd. That makes you loose all your private stuff. CCC can backup and make the backup bootable, so if you don't need the sand box functionality, then ccc is perfect too.

Re: jumping to end of message list in mail
Hi, VO shift home, if you're on a laptop, is VO, that is control option, with shift, with fn, with left arrow. Fn left arrow is home. So, VO shift end is control option shift fn right arrow. First, you find your messages column in Lion mail, assuming you are in non-classic view. VoiceOver will say: message column group. Then, you interact with that. Leftmost is sort by date, rightmost is the message table. Interact there. Now, you can use vo shift home and end. Hth, Paul.

Re: Finding a downloded dmg file
Hi Johny Angel, 1. Spotlight can be invoked with command space. At least, that's what I use all the time. There is another possibility but to be honest I don't know about the extra options. 2. Where is your downloaded dmg file? Most likely, it is in your downloads folder. If you have Lion, press command option l from within finder. If snow Leopard, Hit command shift h to go to your home folder, and there, find the downloads folder. What you download, is there by default.
