Re: A program like active sync for the mac?

2011-10-16 Thread Vaughn Bennison
Missing sync for windows mobile was what I used to use with my sony xperia.  
Don't know if it works or not with units like the hims or human ware products.

partitioning an external drive for a bootable backup

2011-10-16 Thread Caitlyn Furness
Hi,
Can somebody refresh my memory on how to create a bootable external disk for 
snow leopard using disk utility?  I want to upgrade to lion finally and want to 
make a back up of my mac which is now running snow leopard.  I have carbon copy 
cloner, but I want to make a bootable external drive with my external drive, 
just in case something goes wrong.

Also, is anyone currently running fusion version 3 with win xp under lion?  I 
heard it doesn't work, so don't want to do this upgrade if that's so, since I 
need fusion and k1000 for my school..

thanks,
Cait

Chrome and Chromevox

2011-10-16 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Hey everyone. Today I just installed Chrome for the first time and with that 
installed Chromevox. If someone could please send me some commands to use with 
it for the Mac, I'd appreciate that. Also, it looks to me like the Chromevox 
options are broken. I was hoping to access them so I could get Chrome Vox to 
read automatically when a page loads like Voice Over. Other than that, I really 
like Chromevox. It's too bad there's no command to jump to a bookmark like in 
Safari though.

Re: Glitch with Nuance Voices In Lion Getting Worse

2011-10-16 Thread Mike Arrigo
I've noticed it happens sometimes, I also use Samantha, I wouldn't say it 
happens more in 10.7.2, but it does happen. I remember emailing apple about 
this a while back, they definitely are aware of it, I wonder if it's something 
they can fix or if Nuance must fix it.

Re: How do I download something?

Hi Jennifer!
When just sitting on the documents do not press enter first!
Just start with vo+shift+m!
And the rest of the instructions should be ok!

Re: How do I download something?

2011-10-16 Thread David Eagle
Did you follow my other steps? You need to change a few settings. Press VO 
Shift M and then enter on the options Display as folder and view as list. Then 
when you've made these two changes, press enter on your downloads folder in the 
dock and you get a list of downloaded files and programmes, in the order of 
most recent first. To use open with, get info etc, you need to open the 
downloads folder in the dock with VO shift M, then press O to get to the open 
option, then press enter. Follow the steps in my last email, step by step and 
you should be fine. You've only done step 1 so far. 

I hope you understand and that I've managed to help. Sorry if I've not

Re: using Classic view in Mail in Lion but....

2011-10-16 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Kevin,

I'm sorry my suggestion didn't work for you.

I have Mail set to Classic View and Conversations turned off. When I press 
Return, the message is read in its entirety. If i want to activate a link, I 
just press VO-Cmd-l and I'm taken to the next link which I can activate with 
VO-Space. I only have to interact if I want to read by sentence or paragraph.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Glitch with Nuance Voices In Lion Getting Worse

2011-10-16 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Hey David and all. When I first got the Nuance voices when Lion got launched, I 
used Samantha for everything, even reading emails. She was fine for the first 5 
minutes of reading posts from this list and after 5 minutes that's when the 
pitch changes start. And that's when using a say all. One thing I don't get is 
when you use the Nuance voices as your system voice and when doing something 
like playing the RS games, the pitch changes don't happen. It's odd that they 
only happen in Voice Over.

Re: how to test bootable backup?

The boot menu won't read with VO because it's not part of the operating system. 
It's built into the hardware.

Hi guys:
I'm now going to upgrade to Lion. I've read the Mac World articles, checked to 
make sure my hard drive is in good shape via disk utility, and listened to 
Arrigo's podcast. I created a boootable backup using CCC; however I cannot 
figure out how to test it. I held down option while booting my Mac. I couldn't 
get VO to start at all, but a sighted person said I had two options, one of 
which was my external drive. I pressed right arrow, and enter twice. Eventually 
the Mac booted, but no VO. How can I verify if my Mac is booting from the

Dear Anne,
I wrote you privately to mention that I would try looking at the

turns out that this setting was chosen as you had suggested.  However,
it didn't solve my problem.  I tried both settings and the result was

I can simply substitute VO right arrow for VO A to read an entire

USB drive problems

2011-10-16 Thread Bill Holton
Hi.

I formatted my 2 tarabyte drive with two mac extended journal partitions and
one Fat 32 so I can transfer files from my pC to my Mac.  But whenever I try
to access this partition Finder goes into busy mode and doesn't stop.
Eventaully the fan comes on, and it will run forever, the only way I can
stop it is to restart the computer.

I went to disk utilities and reformatted the drive.  Still no go.  I used
First Aid to verify the drive, then I tried repair.  The results say
something about needing to repair boot sequence, but it doesn't explain how.
It also found four bad clusters on the drive and about 2 megs of files on
what was supposed to be an empty, freshly formatted partition.  Any help
appreciated.

Useful info on Icloud!

2011-10-16 Thread Red.Falcon
Hi all!
Someone posted this and I thought some people also might like this info!
Colin
Qapla!

Chegh chew jaj Vam jaj Kak
For those who are interested in knowing what the unlabelled and labeled items 
are on theicloud.com login screen, here's a list from top to bottom as 
identified on my MBA running 10.7.2 with safari 5.1.1. YMMV depending on your 
language, country, browser version, os version, hair colour, favourite animal, 
or what you had for breakfast.

1. VO announces "Button." This is a mail icon. Clicking this icon causes 
nothing to happen. Double, triple, or octuple clicking this icon also causes 
nothing to happen.
2. VO announces "Button." This is a contacts icon. Same result as above.
3. VO announces "Button." This is a calendar icon. Same result as above.
> 4. VO announces "Button." This is a photo stream icon. Same result as above.

5. VO announces "Button." This is a find my i-device icon. Same result as above.
6. VO announces "Button." This is a documents or iwork icon. Same result as 
above.
7. VO announces "Sign Out Button." This is a VO accessible link designed to log 
you out of theiCloud.com web interface.
8. VO announces "Help Button." This is a VO accessible button that opens a new 
browser window to some ICloud help documentation.
9. VO announces "Apple ID." This is a VO accessible field where you type your 
icloud login name. 
10. VO announces "Secure Edit Text." This is a VO accessible field where you 
type your icloud password.
11. VO announces "Keep Me Signed In, Unchecked." This is a VO accessible 
checkbox that I assume prevents your icloud session from timing out 
12. VO announces "Sign In Button. This is a VO accessible button that executes 
the login process after you've filled in the proper login credentials. Performs 
the same function as pressing Return.
13. VO announces "Terms of Use, Link." Self-explanatory.
14. VO announces "Privacy Policy, Link." Self-explanatory.
15. VO announces "Forgot ID or Password? Link." This is a VO accessible link 
that opens a new browser window to an Apple site where you can recover your 
apple ID and / or password.
16. VO announces "Help, Link." This opens the same help page listed in item 8 
above.
17. VO announces "Apple, Button." This opens a new browser window to 
www.apple.com.
18. VO announces "Copyright information. Self-explanatory.

Well, your hope, in I hope this helps, was fully justified. Wow. It works, I 
found both the sync over wifi option in iTunes, for the list it is indeed from 
the source table your mobile device, the summary tab, and there sync over wifi, 
and I also found wifi itunes sync, indeed in the iphone settings on the device 
itself, general, itunes sync. I turned it on and it works. Thanks a lot Paul. 
From now on, I can sync on demand from settings general iTunes on the iphone,

Re: Lion's pretty good

2011-10-16 Thread Priscilla Garces
well i haven't had any issues so far. the only problem i do have with lions is 
when i have to correct stuff in other languages using pages and that it won't 
read bulleted lists.
I also have problems when formating with pages so i choose to use text edit.
I think text edit is pretty good for my needs and is similar to pages.
The only reason why i got iWork's is because of the keynote software which i 
haven't played with it much. but what's better in lion is the fact that i can 
switch languages which i really like because i'm reading extensive materials in 
spanish.
I do wish that voiceover changes languages when reading multilanguage 
documents.Jaws changes voices when reading documents that are in both english 
and spanish. But i have been having an unrelated problem, my charger stopped 
working since this friday for some reason. when it chaerges my laptop, the plug 
that magnetically connects to my laptop got burning hot, i couldn't touch it 
because it was really hot.
I don't know why i am having this issue. i thought that the charger should last 
more than 2 years at least. I'm currently a college student and need my laptop 
for research. If i had a braille note that would have been good, but because of 
the state's budget, they said a braille display was more cost effected which i 
still liked because i can use that with my iPhone as a PDA.
I'm more concerned because i have a lot of assignments and need the laptop 
obviously to do them. is there anything i should do in the future as a backup? 
I can't always be going to the apple store since it's quite far from where i 
live.

Thank you very much.

Re: Downloading Lion and....

2011-10-16 Thread Paul Erkens
Kevin,
The installer for lion will land in your applications folder, command shift a 
to get there. Once the app store prompts you to install lion and you want to 
wait till later, as you wrote, simply command q close the installer, find it in 
your applications folder tomorrow and run it then.
Hth,
Paul.

Used iMac

2011-10-16 Thread Andrew Lamanche
Dear Listers,

A friend is offering me sale of his three year old iMac. Is it worth
considering? I have not had specifications from him yet but wanted
your early opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Glitch with Nuance Voices In Lion Getting Worse

2011-10-16 Thread David Eagle
Real Speak daniel does it now and again, for me, but not too much. It doesn't 
do it with JAWs I don't think. I wonder what causes it. I'm replying to a lot 
of messages today because I am so impressed with how amazing Apple Mail is. Yes 
people, you heard me right! I am finally coming round to loving my Mac. I used 
to think of my Mac kind of like a young, attractive woman who I'm having an 
affair with. She was exciting, new and invigorating. But she doesn't do any 
jobs around the house, nor could I depend on her in a time of need like I could 
with my wife. My windows machine is my wife; she's a bit boring, she nags me a 
lot, but she's been long-term and she's generally dependable, if a little 
sluggish. So now and again I go trotting off to my fantasy woman (I.E. my Mac 
computer,) but I always come home when I need something from my wife, (my 
windows computer) because I can depend on her. Also my Mac is like a younger 
fantasy woman who I'm having an affair with because she is very expensive in 
comparison to my windows machine. Let's be honest, I had to buy my fantasy 
woman's love. If I didn't splash the cash she wouldn't give me the time of day. 

Shall we stop the metaphor there? I'm starting to get emotional. By the way, I 
don't have a wife, nor am I dating a young attractive woman. Nor do I get up to 
anything sinister with my Mac, nor with my windows machine. Well … nothing much 
anyway. O come on! I'm not the only one! 

Sorry for the long email that didn't really help. I'm just so impressed by th 
speed with which I can use Apple Mail and how easy it is to reply and send 
emails. I will not make a habit of rambling messages that don't answer the 
question, but if you're the kind of person who gets annoyed by that kind of 
thing then let me alleviate any annoyance you might be feeling by alerting you 
to the fact that I am using this lengthy email as a way for you to test how 
many times Real Speak voices fluctuate into different pitches while reading it. 
So yes, this email is a sort of scientific experiment. If you all press VO A to 
read the whole message and report back how many times our real speak voices did 
odd pitch changes and where they happened, then perhaps we will identify some 
kind of trend. I'm sure there's some of you who believe I've just made that 
last bit up to justify my rambling long message, but then you would say that 
wouldn't you. That's just the kind of person you are. 

Incidentaly, I just read the message back with Real Speak Daniel using VO A to 
read all, and it didn't do a random pitch change once. So perhaps it only 
happens when you cursor through things. Is anyone else finding that is true? 

You see, there was a point to my message after all.

The End!

RE: Glitch with Nuance Voices In Lion Getting Worse

2011-10-16 Thread Missy Hoppe
Hi! Maybe it's just me, but I've even started noticing occasional freaky pitch 
changes with Alex under Lion. It's just 1 more
reason that I keep SL on my main drive and only run lion from an external drive 
to see if things are getting fixed. If
anything, it seems that the more Lion is updated, the more it's broken, but I 
still run it every once in a while just to
check on it. It can't read my pandora app, pianopub at all, something which SL 
has no problems with, but the 1 thing that
does read better, at least for me, under lion is Skype. I don't know why it's 
different, but it is.
Anyway, I still have trouble where VO doesn't run at start-up, or if it does, 
it never gives its welcome message, and now,
instead of com.doc.apple.extra, I seem to be getting stuck in some sort of 
speech synthesis server window. I can't remember
the exact name of it, but it's more or less the same problem as before. Over 
all, I wish I could get my money back on Lion;
it's just not worth it, and I'm so thankful I backed everything up so that I 
could just go back to SL.

Hey guys. I don't know if any of you guys noticed but when using the Nuance 
voices with Voice Over in Lion 10.72, the bug
with the freaky pitch changes has gotten worse. I like using Samantha a lot and 
it would be too bad if I had to use Alex for
everything because of this bug. So I'd like to encourage everyone to get on 
Apple Accessibilities aces and tell them to fix
this stupid bug once and for all.

Re: How do I download something?

2011-10-16 Thread David Eagle
To see the most recent downloads, press enter on your downloads folder in the 
dock. You will see the most recently downloaded items in order of when you 
downloaded them. If pressing enter doesn't illicit the correct result and you 
don't get the list then you might have to change how your downloads present 
themselves when you press enter. Go to the downloads folder in the dock and 
press VO Shift M then press enter on the display as folder option, press VO 
Shift M again and enter on view as 'list'. Also make sure that sort by date 
added is checked. Now in future, when you want to see your most recently 
downloaded items, you can do that by pressing enter on your downloads folder in 
the dock. If you want to have access to Open with and get Info etc, then you 
have to open the downloads folder in the dock by doing a VO shift M and 
pressing O then enter to get the downloads folder open in the finder window. 
then you have access to everything. 

Hope this makes sense.

Re: using Classic view in Mail in Lion but....

Hello Kevin,

In the Navigation category of VoiceOver Utility, you need to have Initial 
position of VoiceOver cursor: set to Keyboard focused item. Otherwise, the VO 
cursor goes to the first item which is not what you want.
