Re: track pad commander

2011-10-17 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi Denise.
There's two ways. The easiest and quickest is to press VO and then with your 
other hand take two fingers and twist them on the trackpad to the left. It 
should make a beep oise and say Track Commander Off. You can turn it on when 
you want it the same way by twisting your two fingers to the right.
The other way is to go to the VO Utilities menu. On my computer, I have to do 
command space and then type Voice. Everybody else seems to be able to type VO 
f8. I get iTunes when I do that, but maybe it will work for you. Then you can 
go to Commanders and find Trackpad and turn it off that way.

Regards,
Gigi

Re: Chrome and Chromevox

2011-10-17 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Hey Vince. I already looked at those commands, unfortunately, they were for 
PC's or netbooks equipped with it. It would be nice if there were a Mac 
equivalent to those commands. I did however use the control+option keys with 
some of those commands, some of them worked, like moving up and down, some 
don't, like the read all command. By the way for Samnet users that aren't too 
happy with Adium or just want a change, the socializer works properly in 
Chrome, the only catch is that you need Chromevox because Voice Over won't 
interact with your contact list. I remembered asking that question last week 
and I got my answer. Just thought I should let everyone know.

Re: lion is pretty good

2011-10-17 Thread Priscilla Garces
I did get a ew adapter today at the apple store, but the only thing i do regret 
is not putting the apple care plan. That was a pretty big mistake because i 
could have saved myself 60 bucks from getting another adapter. I don't have 
another backup cord because i can't be buying extra cords. they cost quite a 
bit.
Other than that it's now fine.
I don't know how my chord died on me. it was working fine except that there was 
a tare on the end of the cable but that's because my cat decided to play with 
the cable and think it's a mouse that he can chase. Bad kitty! he tore the 
cable alittle bit. now i'm going to be careful and put in the drawer when not 
in use.
Does anyone know how i can wrap the cable without forcing the parts where both 
the brick joins the cable to wear out?
I often put that together along with a lot of other things inside my mesenger 
bag. the bag only has 2 pockets for a binder, computer and another one for all 
else so i just throw some other stuff in like my recorder and keys and small 
personal items. no wonder why my focus 40 blue doesn't fit in the bag. damn 
that's the only con.

Thank you.

Go to Vo Utilities mender, down the table to Commanders, over to the Track Pad 
tab, click it.  Then check or uncheck the box to turn it off from there.

Hi,

Are you touching the trackpad on accident while holding down the VO keys?
Even if you are though, you have to rotate 2 fingers clockwise to enable
trackpad commander, so I don't see how it's turning itself on.

Re: How to download all purchases from iTunes?

2011-10-17 Thread David Hole

Hi.
First, the link can also be found when going to the "purchased" item in 
the sources list.

And so, I've tried this, and I can only download purchased apps and books.
According to what I read when I was about to install the 10.5 version of 
iTunes, it said I also should be able to download my purchased music.
There's nothing saying it is impossible here in Norway :-( If the fact 
is that it should be impossible to re-download purchased music here, 
where does the documentation from apple say anything 'bout that?

Regards David
Den 17.10.2011 21:48, skrev Ricardo Walker:

Hi,

Open up iTunes and in the sources table go down to the iTunes store.  Now open 
the item chooser with VO I and search for a purchases link.  Click on the link 
and you will have tabs for your purchased apps, music books, etc.  In each tab 
should be a download all button or link.

Re: How do I download something?

2011-10-17 Thread David Eagle
Yes ignore the enter key as the first step. Follow the other steps. I only 
mentioned the enter thing at first because that is how my downloads folder is 
set up. If pressing enter yields nothing for you then you need to do the other 
steps to set it up so that pressing enter means you can then cursor through 
your downloads in order of most recent. 
I hope this helps. Let us know if you're still unsure.

moving appointments between calendars?

2011-10-17 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi all, I've got too many calendars and I want to move all my appointments to 
one calendar.  Is it possible to select a bunch of appointments and set them 
all to one calendar at the same time?  Is there a merge calendars option 
somewhere?

Thanks,

 Then on your IPhone go to settings general ITunes WI-FI synch and activate 
 the Synch now button. This is how to synch Podcasts, music, ing tones,etc. 
 Hopefully in the future Apple will allow us to synch over the cloud. In 
 the meantime, this is great because you don't have to be tied to the 
 computer. Synch will occur when you attach IPhones to ac power.
 
 I hope this helps.

Re: How to download all purchases from iTunes?

2011-10-17 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

Open up iTunes and in the sources table go down to the iTunes store.  Now open 
the item chooser with VO I and search for a purchases link.  Click on the link 
and you will have tabs for your purchased apps, music books, etc.  In each tab 
should be a download all button or link.

Does anyone know where to get a list of the commands for the Mac that can be

Can somebody refresh my memory on how to create a bootable external disk for

Also, is anyone currently running fusion version 3 with win xp under lion?  I

braille display question with VO

2011-10-17 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hey Guys. 
I am facing the possibility that my PacMate is ok and my braille display has a 
big problem that Freedom Scientific may want big money to fix. I have some 
possibilities here, and here is a question I have about displays. 

I am thinking about getting a Focus 40 Blue because I have to have 40 cells. 
The first thing I could do is to get the iPad I mentioned before and pair it 
with the display. Another thing I thought about doing is putting more than one 
display on the Mac. I think I know the answer to this, but if one doesn't ask 
one won't find out. If you put more than one display on, is there a way to show 
one file on one display and another file on the other? I ask because of the 
statement somewhere in Vo documentation that says there can be 30 displays on 
your Mac. If I do something like that, would all the braille displays have to 
be USB?

Gigi
