Re: new user
Hi Banu, When I first got my mac, the problem I had, was that, when moving from windows to mac, I didn't have a clue on the simplest tasks. It seemed a hell of a job to find out every little thing yourself. Like: how do I open a folder on the mac? Well, you get an answer to this if you ask for it, but as a new mac user, it's easy to get lost, because what do you do next if you pressed the keys and you have your folder open? This was the same feeling in all areas. I felt like a complete idiot, though several parts of me were missing. Lol. My advice. If you are new to the mac this list is where you can get started. There are a lot of intelligent and patient people here, and now that I have overcome the beginner issues, I found I can now answer some of other people's questions myself. Every new mac user starts out like you do now, and for me, that was hard at first. But don't worry. The mac is a breeze to work on, and soon enough you will likely say the same thing. The first thing to do, which was very helpful for me personally, is go through the voiceover quick start tutorial, control option command f8,to learn how voiceover works. You wrote that voiceover does not talk everywhere. Once you understand how to work with things on the screen, like buttons, sliders, menus and such, and you know that the voiceover cursor is an imaginary small window that you move across the screen, to hear what is there, you will get the hang of it. The voiceover tutorial will help you get started in reading the screen. Second, I learned a lot by browsing the mac help. When you start your mac, you land at the desktop. The program that makes the desktop appear, and that controls it, is called the finder. Finder on the mac is what my computer, or windows explorer, used to be on windows. From finder, so, from the desktop, you can open help and browse it. At the top of your desktop, and at the top of almost all programs, is a menu bar, running from left to right across the screen. Press control option m, m as in menu, to get to the menu bar. Then, use right arrow to move across it, till you find the word help. To open the help menu, now move down with down arrow. You will find something that reads: help center. Press vo spacebar on it to open the help center. Now, read the screen, just as you learned in the voiceover tutorial, and you will find all sorts of self study information. A third good resource is to press control option h. If you do, the voiceover help menu will open. Choose: online help, from this menu. This will give you another page full of subjects you can read. If you have any difficulty trying these things, please write back, and others and I will help. But, don't be overwhelmed. The mac is a forrest full of little diamonds, and there is no single book or website to tell you where they all are. You don't need to know everything. Start with what you need, and begin with simple things. For example, don't ask us how to use the finder. That is too big of a question. Finder can do many useful things, but you don't need them at once. Once you are at your desktop, ask yourself a little question, just for today. Which program can I use to browse the web. The answer is safari. How can I start it? The answer is in the resources above. Try to run a program, and see how far you get. If you're stuck, try the program's own help and you will learn. If you get lost, ask here. Be patient. It will come to you, but it takes time and effort. Or another question: now that I can read help, how do I shut down my mac? How do I know my battery status, if you have a laptop? Is it easy to email from a mac? If you start out with that type of questions, you will get easy answers. But none the less. It can happen that you don't understaand what you are doing. But just do what people answer you, and the big picture will drop into place later on. I stuffed away my mac, after one month of trouble, because I had the feeling that the mac world was too big, and I didn't know where to go first. I took it out a few months later, and bit by bit, things started happening. You have people to ask. Good luck. Talk later. Paul.

Re: just discovered computer braille
Hi Gigi, Yes that's what I would like to do. American computer braille is what I am used to, even though I am in Europe. But yes, I'd like to omit the control characters for quicker reading, or I would like to have a good way to learn them, so I don't see things I don't understand. Is there an overview somewhere, where you can see what each character is in braille? Like: greater than: dots 3, 4, 5. On Sep 27, 2011, at 1:42 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote: Hi Paul E. I do not know if you can edit the table. In my case, I have no reason to. It looks fine. So far, I can't see any problem with it. Are you thinking about taking out the control characters? If so, I would rather be able to turn them on and off, but right now I'm just glad I can do it at all. My PacMate display is starting to give me some trouble, although it's still usable. If it costs too much money to fix it, I just may need to use my other display on the Mac. At least I won't have to install Windows just for that now.

This means you can get a braille display of new lines, tabs, etc. I can't even do that on my PacMate these days, although I could on my old Braille Lite 40. I was really upset when I lost this ability. Now I think I have it back. I can't wait to tell my friend in Nebraska who was disappointed that VoiceOver didn't have computer braille.

Re: Good wireless router for Macs
Check out the Cisco Linksys routers. I've never had a problem with security or anything else with any of the several Linksys routers I have used over the years.

I bought a D-Link N router and was really disappointed with its transmission distance. Couldn't connect maybe 30 feet away at the other end of the house. Showed up on the list but failed unless you were right near by. After much fiddling I'm donating it to the inlaws who needed a new router anyway and pretty much just use it one room away so it works fine. So now I'm shopping around again. Maybe another DLink? There are piles of them out there but the reviews don't seem to go into any testing of distance. Probably don't need 5Ghz band as my iPhone needs to connect unless there is something that can do both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz at the same time. Should I just go with an Airport Extreme and be done?It seems like it has all the features but is probably the most expensive router out there.

Downarrowing again I hear paragraph.map selected image. But really i don't thing anything is really opened because when I hit enter on either of these images, I am placed back in the Finder window.

Dedicated devices and iOS was RE: Money reader in canadian app store
Hi, all. I, like Erik, carry around a dedicated MP3 player, but see the merit of both that approach and the use of the iPhone. My views may be summed up as whatever works best. Having said that, there are a few things in Erik's message below which aren't disadvantages of the iOS method. When asked about whether the dedicated player can Purchase music and download it wirelessly? Erik writes No I have to handle music and podcasts on computer before they go to the player, but I refuse to invest in a DRM and so apple store mp3's and audible books are no interest to me. Music from the Apple store has, to the best of my knowledge, no DRM at all or very minimal DRM. One certainly does not have to authorize devices for it. Books from the Apple Store and from Audible do have DRM, however. This is the main reason I don't buy books from the Apple store or Audible content. If I buy something in accordance with a specific license agreement, it's mine to use in accordance with that license. The fact that the provider of the content thinks people will violate the license really isn't my problem. Erik, when asked about online streaming of radio stations, says This is a feature I could actually use if my player had it. Unfortunately wifi access is still pretty limited here and there's no way even if I had a data plan, that I could afford to put my ISP to the kind of usage I'd be looking at. My mp3 player listening time is about 80 to 120 hours a month and if even 20 or 30 were using streaming audio I'd shortly run into problems. I used to be of this opinion as well. However, listening to a 256 K stream for an hour takes about 113 megabytes. Most radio stations stream in a lesser quality than that. Given that most providers in Canada at least offer something around 5-6 gigabytes for $30, streaming radio stations for a significant amount of time is not impossible to do. Finally, Erik writes I'd appreciate some links to resources on how to play ogg or flac on IOS if you have them. There are several options. You may want to have a look at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/oplayer/id344784375?mt=8 for example. There are other apps, both official and from Cydia, which will do the same. I don't read audio books very much, but agree with Erik that the iPhone's handling of those books is quite bad.

Does the mp3 player have a search feature allowing you to search through thousands of songs? No, but it does allow you more control over the layout of your music when you put it on the device and it does allow for much faster scrolling than IOS. It's a bit of a trade off. I don't have a search feature, but I don't miss it because I know where stuff is and I can get to it quickly. Create and edit playlists on the device? Yep it does that. Purchase music and download it wirelessly? No I have to handle music and podcasts on computer before they go to the player, but I refuse to invest in a DRM and so apple store mp3's and audible books are no interest to me. Download audible books and podcasts wirelessly? Again, DRM no thanks. Not when I can get the same content in better quality from other sources. Have access to 15,000 internet radio streams? This is a feature I could actually use if my player had it. Unfortunately wifi access is still pretty limited here and there's no way even if I had a data plan, that I could afford to put my ISP to the kind of usage I'd be looking at. My mp3 player listening time is about 80 to 120 hours a month and if even 20 or 30 were using streaming audio I'd shortly run into problems. Provide you with music recognition? You mean like genus? What a ridiculous feature. Don't you know what's in your music collection? That and the whole social network they are trying to build around what's on your IPod. Are people really going for this? You gota be kidding me. This is of course scratching the surface, and some of what you mentioned, mp3 audio books, ogg and flac, the iPhone will do. Fraid not. If I put an mp3 audiobook onto my ITouch it goes into my music and then I have to playlist it separately at the very least. Plus I can't have bookmarking in an mp3 audiobook. If I want that I have to make it an m4B or whatever that proprietary format is. I'd appreciate some links to resources on how to play ogg or flac on IOS if you have them. I can make it work on the mac, but not on the ITouch. An mp3 player blowing the iPhone out of the water on feature sets, quality, and

Re: just discovered computer braille
Hi Paul E. I had this information originally in an, I think an old VersaBraille manual or maybe the old Braille Lite manual. I do have on my computer a file from BANA which is called Computer Braille. There are some things in there like dots 456 twice for underline which don't apply to computer displays. However, most of what's in there applies. When I have some time, I'll edit this file and send it to you. There probably is a better file found I'll bet in the manuals for braille displays. You might check yours and see if there is a listing in there of computer braille code symbols. Most of the other symbols that you are talking about include control M for carriage return, control L for page break, control I for tab, and control J for form feed. You probably won't see, in a braille file, most of the other control characters. Regards, Gigi On Sep 28, 2011, at 1:10 AM, Paul Erkens wrote: Hi Gigi, Yes that's what I would like to do.

Is there an overview somewhere, where you can see what each character is in braille? Like: greater than: dots 3, 4, 5. On Sep 27, 2011, at 1:42 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote: Hi Paul E.

This means you can get a braille display of new lines, tabs, etc. I can't even do that on my PacMate these days, although I could on my old Braille Lite 40.

Some people say that a menu appears below the toolbar where your search term is. This is true on my machine sometimes, but it is not as easy as that, to search for information in a specific field, such as from, to, subject, body, bcc, reply-to, a date range, or whatever. I can't imagine that you can't do that on a mac inside mail, but despite all instructions on this list, I'm still having the same issue. After typing the search term, the menu just doesn't always appear, and if it does, it only has 1 or 2 items. 1. Do I need to press enter or not, after typing the search term in the mail toolbar? What if I do, what if I don't? 2. How can I get to the menu with search options, that some of you are mentioning, like searching only in the from, field, only in the message body etc? Does quicknav need to be on or off in this particular case? I got the advice to hit down arrow after typing my search term, and sometimes it brings up a menu, but you can never tell before hand, what this menu is going to contain. In my case, sometimes only a people, menu entry, and I suppose that lets you look for message from someone specific. But I then see no other options. I once got the menu to show a subjects item. But the entire exact search thing is still unclear to me. I'd love to get it working though. 3.

Re: Dedicated devices and iOS was RE: Money reader in canadian app store
Hi, Erik. I think Bell, Rogers, Telus, and Virgin are all offering the 6 GB for $30 plan, though don't quote me on their all offering it, it may only be Rogers/Telus. In any case, the plan does exist on the 850/1900 band which the iPhone supports. Obviously, if you're willing to dump the iPhone and go to one of the AWS providers, you will get allot more for less.

I, like Erik, carry around a dedicated MP3 player, but see the merit of both that approach and the use of the iPhone. My views may be summed up as whatever works best.

When asked about whether the dedicated player can Purchase music and download it wirelessly? Erik writes No I have to handle music and podcasts on computer before they go to the player, but I refuse to invest in a DRM and so apple store mp3's and audible books are no interest to me. Music from the Apple store has, to the best of my knowledge, no DRM at all or very minimal DRM. One certainly does not have to authorize devices for it. Books from the Apple Store and from Audible do have DRM, however. This is the main reason I don't buy books from the Apple store or Audible content. If I buy something in accordance with a specific license agreement, it's mine to use in accordance with that license. The fact that the provider of the content thinks people will violate the license really isn't my problem. Erik, when asked about online streaming of radio stations, says This is a feature I could actually use if my player had it. Unfortunately wifi access is still pretty limited here and there's no way even if I had a data plan, that I could afford to put my ISP to the kind of usage I'd be looking at. My mp3 player listening time is about 80 to 120 hours a month and if even 20 or 30 were using streaming audio I'd shortly run into problems. I used to be of this opinion as well. However, listening to a 256 K stream for an hour takes about 113 megabytes. Most radio stations stream in a lesser quality than that. Given that most providers in Canada at least offer something around 5-6 gigabytes for $30, streaming radio stations for a significant amount of time is not impossible to do. Finally, Erik writes I'd appreciate some links to resources on how to play ogg or flac on IOS if you have them. There are several options. You may want to have a look at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/oplayer/id344784375?mt=8 for example. There are other apps, both official and from Cydia, which will do the same. I don't read audio books very much, but agree with Erik that the iPhone's handling of those books is quite bad.

Numbers Question
Hi Guys. I just had an experience with Numbers I haven't yet figured out. I think I know how problem started, but I meed to know how to get VoiceOver to tell me the cell status. I finally called my sighted husband who used to teach Excel for Brookhaven College. It turned out that some of my cells were listed as labels or text. I had suspected this might be the problem because I had checked numbers and added them up on my PacMate calculato, and they were wrong. I had set VoiceOver to tell attributes, and I had gone into the Inspector and, I thought, changed the whole selected cells to numbers. How can I get VoiceOver to tell me the status of a cell so that I can be sure that all the numbers are included in the sum? I hope this makes sense. The other question I have is what the command is for going to the end of the file in Numbers. I have a MBP.

I know that people have been working on it in cooperation with google, and that alone is already exciting, but I'm curious about a few things before I dive in. As a college student and an employee where professors, students, and co-workers are all using Google Docs. It's extremely exciting, empowering, and equalizing that I am able to use it as well with a consistent and unified experience on Mac OS X and other platforms. For me, Mac OS X with the various productivity/office suite and web browser have not allowed me to be productive, such as iWork (also tried Open Office, Libra Office, Bean, and Tables) and Safari (also tried Webkit and Lightning) have not allowed me to be productive. However, Google has changed all of this. With Chrome, ChromeVox, Docs, and other Google Apps; I am able to be productive on my Mac. 1. When you start to use chrome, which is just another browser, like safari is the main one on the mac, can you use the chrome browser with voiceover to start with? Voiceover will work with Chrome, but the very same issues that occurs with Safari will exist, such as focus lost, inability to interact with HTML content, web rotor/item chooser missing elements/items, lag, TAB key being inconsistent, moving among various HTML elements will require several attempts, and many other issues. 2. If you can, what does the chromevox extension give you on top of it? If you can not use chrome with voiceover, does chrome plus chromevox then give you equal performance than safari does, when visiting other websites? In other words, would you say that chrome is a good replacement for safari? ChromeVox is an extension that has very deep integration with Chrome, removes several layers of abstractions, and allows for things to be done that traditional desktop screen readers cannot due to it being a web browser extension. All the issues I detailed with Safari/VoiceOver do not exist in Chrome/ChromeVox. 3. When using google docs, is it true that many people can work on a document simultaneously, and can you now easily see who changed what? Yes, all of this is possible with Docs, is accessible, and it's possible to use other real-time features, such as chat to discuss various points with others who you are collaborating with, several can make changes, and it's possible to review/edit all these changes as they're occurring. Inserting, viewing, and editing comments are also accessible. All of this and much more with Docs applies to documents and spreadsheets. 4. What are the current do's and don'ts, that you found out about, in the environment? In other words, what things is the environment good at, from an accessibility point of view? It's a work in progress, with Google being
Re: hello
Hi Banu. The first thing I told myself when I started on the Mac was that I would probably have some bad moments. Indeed, I did. Like the time I accidentally copied 50 folders to my husband's computer. That was before I knew about command-z which erases what you just did. I don't know what services are available in your country. Here Apple offers One-to-one training. I was lucky to get a person who liked to use computers on his day off. You said your brother helped you. This person that helped me on purpose blindfolded himself and worked with VoiceOver on his computer. Since he is a long-time Mac user, he was able to figure out things and show some to me. Regards, Gigi aOn Sep 28, 2011, at 11:59 AM, banu.bc wrote: hello thanks for the replies.

Re: Entering a Header in Pages
Hi Brandon. I just went into Pages to see if I could figure it out. Here's At I did, and maybe it'll help. I have a Pages file that has two pages. When I interacted on page 1, the first thing it showed me was header. I interacted on it. I also had a choice of interacting on the body. I found that the header could accessed by doing VO-up arrow. I'm in Lion, so I don't know if that matters. Regards, Gigi On Sep 27, 2011, at 11:12 PM, Brandon Olivares wrote: Hi, I'm writing something in pages.

I have only one point of help for you. You should be able to select an entire row or column if you go to the extreame edge using the touchpad commander, and thenclicking on the item found.

I just had an experience with Numbers I haven't yet figured out. I think I know how problem started, but I meed to know how to get VoiceOver to tell me the cell status. I finally called my sighted husband who used to teach Excel for Brookhaven College. It turned out that some of my cells were listed as labels or text. I had suspected this might be the problem because I had checked numbers and added them up on my PacMate calculato, and they were wrong. I had set VoiceOver to tell attributes, and I had gone into the Inspector and, I thought, changed the whole selected cells to numbers. How can I get VoiceOver to tell me the status of a cell so that I can be sure that all the numbers are included in the sum? I hope this makes sense. The other question I have is what the command is for going to the end of the file in Numbers. I have a MBP.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hello Jenny: Hmm, are you performing the VO + shift + m on a file or folder which is contained within the original public or photo folder? Given the journey you have been on with the installation of this software (smile) operating from the shared folder might be uncertain if that is what is happening. If you have not done so already, try moving something not already in dropbox to the original public folder and see how that works. Also, I do not remember if you have an Iphone or not.

Re: language rotter
Hi, I don't think there is a language router in vo. You just change the voice to an other one that speeks a different language. Press option, control command left or right arrow to cycle through vo settings like rate, intonation, etc. until you reach voice. Then arrow up and down keeping those 3 keys pressed and select the voice you want. If the voice you want is not there you Go to the vo utility with option control f8 I think. There choose voices and customize. Add the voice you want. I just had my first mac for 1 week so I might have mossed some steps in the adding voices part but hope this helps you further. Like others have said the vo quick start guide is really helpful. I find that vo command help is great too. Keep up your hope in this fun adventure!

Hey Matt. The reason it's like that is because Apple wanted to make Lion look more like IOS and have the downloads move from a window to a popover does that.

Hi, here is the link on Apple's website detailing the Apple Care Plan. http://www.apple.com/support/products/mac.html If I understand it correctly, you get phone tech support for the 3 years, plus repair service on parts and labor. Either bring the Mac into a Apple Store, or for the Macbook's, you can use an Apple Care box to ship it back and forth. Traci - Original Message - From: Brianna Snyder To: MacVisionaries Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 12:47 PM Subject: Re: Apple Care Protection I'd like to know the same thing. What exactly does the AppleCare plan cover? What will you get discounted for if you get it?

I have a $100 gift card for the Apple store, so if I can use toward the Plan, that'll drop the price to $149. I'm kind of feeling like it is worth it. This is such an expensive machine, so why not give it some protection for the next 3 years. I get the one year limited warranty, so I guess I'm paying for the editional 2 years. $75 each year? Lol, good math? I'd still like your input though. Good idea, or nah, not really necessary?

Re: Money reader in canadian app store
Yes, I have. It is very picky about light-sources. Make sure you have a strong light-source.

This is of course scratching the surface, and some of what you mentioned, mp3 audio books, ogg and flac, the iPhone will do. An mp3 player blowing the iPhone out of the water on feature sets, quality, and ease of use seems like less of a no brainer than you suggest. But this is really beside the point. The initial discussion was sparked by your comment: It's ten bucks for a money reader? Why not just get a bank of canada one for free? If you still don't see why someone would pay the ten bucks, I'm probably not going to change your mind. If I suggested that the iPhone competes feature for feature with things like GPS units, mp3 players, cameras, etc, I didn't intend to. The point is that, where an app allows you to accomplish what you would normally accomplish with a stand-alone device, then being willing to pay a small amount of money for the app even when the device is free doesn't seem that strange to me.

Stopping iTunes from automatically adding files was:Ripping cps with Amadeus?
Paul and others who wanted to find a way to stop iTunes from automatically adding a played audio track. Below is a message Esther sent that gives excellent directions on how to deal with this. Thanks to her I now have iTunes working the way I like. here is Esther's excellent directions: Hi Eric, You can play tracks without adding them to your iTunes library if you QuickLook them by pressing space bar instead of opening them in an app. This obviously does not work for DRM protected apps, since iTunes is required to validate the DRM (e.g. with audiobooks purchased from Audible or the iTunes Store, movies, really old iTunes Music tracks that were purchased before they moved to DRM-free purchases, etc.) Other than that, you can set the default app to open mp3 files, for example, to be something other than iTunes (e.g., VLC, QuickTime Player, etc.). Just select an mp3 track, and use Command-I to bring up the Get Info window. Use item chooser (VO-I) to navigate to the Open with option: specifically VO-Right arrow to the pop up button for the application, VO-Space, then select the app you want other than iTunes (e.g. QuickTime Player or VLC).If you then VO-Right arrow past the pop up, there's an option to Use this application to open all documents like this on e. followed by a Change All button that you can press (VO-Space) before closing the get info window with Command-W. I think that as long as iTunes is the default app for opening a file, it adds the new entries to its library. Just QuickLook the file instead of opening it if you don't want it to be added to iTunes. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Sep 18, 2011, at 12:21 AM, Paul Henrichsen wrote: Thanks, Eric. I guess we'll have to ask Esther if she can help by reposting this message. I was really bothered that I had to go through my entire music library removing random mp3 files that weren't supposed to be there. The problem is most of my music is mp3 files that I brought into iTunes a few years ago. I don't think that iTunes converted them all to mp4 files. I just don't want it to add anything unless I specifically ask it to. On Sep 16, 2011, at 6:06 PM, Eric Caron wrote: Paul, iTunes can be set up to not automatically add to library. I have mine set up that way. Unfortunately the way to do this was not intuitive and I was only able to do it with Esther's help. somewhere in my notes I have the solution. Maybe someone can remember and share the method. I thought I would let you know as that might be a easier solution to your needs. Eric Caron On Sep 11, 2011, at 9:13 PM, Paul Henrichsen wrote: Thanks. Can Amadeus rip tracks from a cd and create mp3 files? I'm concerned about doing this with iTunes as every time I open an mp3 with iTunes, it thinks it should add it to my music library so that I then have to go in and remove them. Very odd since I never saw this behavior in windows. If Amadeus can't rip mp3 files from a cd, what would I use other than iTunes? As an example: I have the bar code reader from AT guys. There is a cd with a tutorial. If I rip the tracks from the cd or even open the resulting mp3 file with iTunes, it's going to add that mp3 to my music library for some reason. So, I want to create an mp3 file off of the cd so I can then transfer that to my book sense for listening. Can Amadeus rip those tracks from the cd; or do I need to look for some other program? On Sep 10, 2011, at 1:54 PM, Tom Frank wrote: Hi there, Yes it does, and it does it very well. After trying to use ITunes with no success, I broke down and actually read the Amadeus manual. It's around page 52 where it explains how to convert tapes and records to CD. First, place and name markers where you want different tracks. Don't forget to put a marker at the very beginning of the file. Then, if it's a two track stereo recording, go the sounds menu and flatten the file. Then go back to the sounds menu and Burn the file to a CD. The option is almost at the bottom of the Sounds menue. Amadeus can automatically put a two second blank spot before every track. Also, the recommendation is that you do all of your editing in the Amadeus format which is true CD quality. Happy recording.

Re: language rotter
so is there a short cut to change the voice from one to another? for instance english to Turkish etc. or are there any automatic language detection options? regards banu - Original Message - From: Ioana Gandrabur To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 10:18 PM Subject: Re: language rotter Hi, I don't think there is a language router in vo. You just change the voice to an other one that speeks a different language. Press option, control command left or right arrow to cycle through vo settings like rate, intonation, etc. until you reach voice. Then arrow up and down keeping those 3 keys pressed and select the voice you want. If the voice you want is not there you Go to the vo utility with option control f8 I think. There choose voices and customize. Add the voice you want. I just had my first mac for 1 week so I might have mossed some steps in the adding voices part but hope this helps you further. Like others have said the vo quick start guide is really helpful. I find that vo command help is great too. Keep up your hope in this fun adventure!

Re: countdown timer
I can't be sure, but the pro has some fun converters (volume and temperature, I believe). It's quite accessible, too. I'm a horror fan, so I love the sound effects. Fun app. :) I figured, why not pay a couple dollars more for something fun and useful?
