RE: track pad commander
Hi Eugenia, The reason you're getting iTunes coming up when you press VO+F8 is because you need to press the FN key down as well. You have your function keys set to preform hardware functions. Go to system preferences and keyboard, and the option's in there. Hope this helps! -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eugenia Firth Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 11:43 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: track pad commander 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.

Editing MIDI Events In Garage Band
Hi guys, Is there a way to accessibly edit MIDI events in Garage Band? I'm looking for a kind of equivalent to the event list view in Sonar. Does Garage Band have anything like this? I want to be able to change the length, pitch, velocity, and position of notes in a track. If Garage Band won't cut it, would I be able to use either Logic or Pro Tools?

Re: Editing MIDI Events In Garage Band
Sadly there is nothing on the Mac currently that let's you edit MIDI events with VO. It is an area we are all hoping will add. My advice for now is write to accessibil...@apple.com requesting the feature to become accessible in GB and also visit www.apple.com/feedback and select GB, and provide feedback requesting access to MIDI events for VO users.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. It's quite a pity that I can't currently edit MIDI events.

Re: Editing MIDI Events In Garage Band
I don't think you can export the files, I think the only way around this is to open the file in Logic if you have it, and then export it from there. Am sure someone will chime in here if I am wrong.

vmware problems
My appologies if this was already posted to the list. Hi all, I have a virtual machine running on my new macbook pro with 8 gigs of ram and a 2.7 ghz processor. I am running the latest updates of vmware fusion, lion, and windows 7 64 bit, with jaws 12. Here are my questions. 1. I have been experimenting with allocating different amounts of memory and processor to the vm, but haven't had luck finding the right combination. No matter how much or little memory I give the vm, jaws seems to stutter a lot, especially when installing programs. Changing the number of cpu cores also didn't fix the problem. The stuttering is a lot worse than on my old vm on my old mac that had a much slower processor and only four gigs of ram. The stuttering seems to happen after a longer duration, which is also a problem because every time I change the configuration of the vm, jaws needs to reactivate, meaning that I run out of keys very quickly and can't test each configuration properly in demo mode. Does anyone else experience this problem? Should I switch back to windows xp, which I love. I only updated because I felt a little silly for still running xp. For anyone who has a vm on a system with similar ram and cpu speed, what are the ideal processor and memory settings for the VM? I practically never use the Mac. 2. Voiceover has a huge problem with the vmware fusion window. In order to access the vmware fusion menu, I need to have the vm set to single window. I prefer to use it in full screen, but I can't access the menu that way; voiceover just says menu closed when I press VO M. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

Re: vmware problems
I know how to get into full screen mode, but once I'm there, I can't access the menu. To answer your question, I find that windows is much more stable on the mac than the pc. Also, the beauty of virtualization is that I can use my time capsule to back up my entire vm. It works; I just tried it. Also, the snapshot feature of fusion is great. Finally, if windows gets corrupted, all my documents are still safe because they are shared with the mac.

Hi all, I have a virtual machine running on my new macbook pro with 8 gigs of ram and a 2.7 ghz processor. I am running the latest updates of vmware fusion, lion, and windows 7 64 bit, with jaws 12. Here are my questions. 1. I have been experimenting with allocating different amounts of memory and processor to the vm, but haven't had luck finding the right combination. No matter how much or little memory I give the vm, jaws seems to stutter a lot, especially when installing programs. Changing the number of cpu cores also didn't fix the problem. The stuttering is a lot worse than on my old vm on my old mac that had a much slower processor and only four gigs of ram. The stuttering seems to happen after a longer duration, which is also a problem because every time I change the configuration of the vm, jaws needs to reactivate, meaning that I run out of keys very quickly and can't test each configuration properly in demo mode. Does anyone else experience this problem? Should I switch back to windows xp, which I love. I only updated because I felt a little silly for still running xp. For anyone who has a vm on a system with similar ram and cpu speed, what are the ideal processor and memory settings for the VM? I practically never use the Mac. 2. Voiceover has a huge problem with the vmware fusion window. In order to access the vmware fusion menu, I need to have the vm set to single window. I prefer to use it in full screen, but I can't access the menu that way; voiceover just says menu closed when I press VO M. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

ExpanDrive on sale as today's mupromo -- does it work with Lion?
Hi All, I notice that ExpanDrive is today's MacUpdate promo at half price ($19.95). This is a GUI-based solution that lets you transfer files to remote machines that you would SFTP or FTP to and has some slick features, like the ability to reconnect to the machine when you move your location, which is handy when you are using a laptop. It also apparently has been keeping up with the device interface changes better than OS X Fuse/MacFusion. MacFUSE is the effort to support cross-platform file handling. (I used to find some of the MacFUSE releases buggy or unstable, especially earlier on. MacFUSE is no longer being supported as of August 2011 and has been superseded by Fuse4x and OSXFUSE.) Gordon, I recall that you used ExpanDrive after the version 2 release. Any comments about the product now, and specifically about how well it works with Lion, which I can't check? It's convenient to have the Finder-like interface for remotely mounted drives, especially those on non-Mac systems. However, since I updated my copy of Panic's Transmit to version 4, I've been using that instead; I think it's faster and has more options. I didn't update my version 1.6 ExpanDrive license for that reason, and I don't know how well it works under Lion. ExpanDrive has a simpler interface that some may like, and I understand that some people like the Windows version of ExpanDrive that was released in July as being very fast on that system. The present ExpanDrive license covers both Mac and Windows, so that may be a selling point for some users. Any thoughts? The MacUpdate site has a link to their free trial download at: http://www.mupromo.com/deal/1643/7024/expandrive For new users, the MacUpdate promo site does require a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA to set up your account. Afterwords, you can login to find a record of your receipts and purchases, and links to the software. This makes it easy to find your registration serial number records. The half-price promo is good for the next 12 hours. HTH. Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Fwd: ACCESSIBLE WORLD TEK TALK PRESENTS GREG STILSON, HUMANWARE, THE BRAILLIANT, OCT. 24, 2011
This is just a poor choice on their part. In last December's webaim survey VO was listed as the primary screen reader for 10% of respondants, just under the 11% for Window Eyes. It was also listed in third place for screen readers commonly used at 20%, slightly beating out Window Eyes at 19% and eclipsed by NVDA (35%) and Jaws (70%). The VO number was 6% in January 09 and 15% in October 09 so I suspect that 20% number is now even greater. http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey3/ The conference itself requires the use of the tcConference system which seems to be a plugin for web browsers or Java. http://conference321.com/masteradmin/systemreqs.asp?id=rsf0f1aa52966b While they claim there is a Mac plugin for OSX 10.4 or higher I couldn't find a download link for anything but the Windows version.

Re: ACCESSIBLE WORLD TEK TALK PRESENTS GREG STILSON, HUMANWARE, THE BRAILLIANT, OCT. 24, 2011
I have six blind friends who were /and arethinking about making the switch from Windows to the Mac. Two of them have decided not to switch (in this case from Jaws) because they had been using it at work and were used to it and did not want to learn new commands. One of them is basically an almost computer novice, having had a very old version of Jaws. The other three are waiting. These three ladies are waiting until they get better jobs or retire so they can afford to replace old computers. My computer novice friend did get herself a Mac. One of them just got eight viruses on her Windows computer, so who knows what she's going to do. The other two are fairly certain they are getting Macs next time.

Re: Basic item chooser question
I LOVE Items choosier, but usually use it on web pages where there can be hundreds of links. Once you VO space on an item from the items chooser menu, though, yo have to invoke it again with VO I and put in the item you looked for again to keep scrolling down its choices. That's why it's good to make sure you have the one you want, or close on the page to where you want to be. For example, on SendSpace, I can do an items chooser search for download, and instantly find out where the download link for a file is. On my bank's website, where there are hundreds of clickable items, I can search for available, and choose the item that places me right above, on the screen, where the table showing my current accounts is.

In system Preferences under the general pane, this will disable resuming for all applications and their windows.

Hi, In the history menu in Safari, there's an option called something like reopen last closed windows. If you uncheck that, when you open safari, it won't open the windows you've closed.

new mac user with two basic questions?
Hi all, In fact my friend Rita wishes to join the list. I am including her address in the to field hoping a mod can subscribe her. I wrote privately about this a while back, but it seems she still cannot join. for the moment though I am going to post her questions and share the answers. she has snow leopard, 10.6.8, running on a mac mini. She wants to clean up her disc. Forgive me if this seems strange, but I have never read of anyone needing to run defrag on their mac, but such is her goal. needful? if so, how is it best done? its all mac, no virtual box with windows. Her next question is one know that gets asked allot, so think in terms of her specific edition of snow leopard. best voiceover friendly word processor? I know there is a recent edition of open office, how is iworks these days? She is a professional writer, so I think needs more than textedit. I recall a person posting an entirely different writing program in fact?

Re: resuming of Windows in Lion
Yes, this is a command in Lion.

adium crashing
Hi all, I just launched adium today and it crashes on me. This didn't happen before so I'm thinking it's due to the new update to Lion. Any way to fix this? I looked on google and all the threads say this has been fixed, but I can't seem to figure out where or how to fix it. Is there a new download for Adium? Thank you for any assistance. I still can't copy text in Safari but that's another thread. Tried everyone's suggestions but when the text is in a heading, it refuses to copy and doesn't work.

iPad and Bluetooth Braille Display
Hi guys. I have a question for those of you especially who have a Focus 40 Bluetooth display, and especially if you have paired it with an iPad. I sent my PacMate braille display off today. Depending on what Freedom Scientific says about the cost of fixing it, I would like to do a little research. I might be able to use the PacMate display a little longer because it's not totally gone. It has a big problem with the whiz wheels, which for me is a problem because I have to roll braille up and down, and it's faster reading for me if I use it. So, here's the question for you guys. How long does the battery on an iPad last if you use a bluetooth braille display? Do you like it? Can you set the keys for commands like delete, etc.? Thanks ahead of time.

Re: iPad and Bluetooth Braille Display
Even in iOS5, this is still true. Without jailbreaking and doing a lot of system file editing, there is no way to change the braille commands.

You can customize braille key assignments in VO on the Mac , but not in IOS unless it has changed in IOS 5. Kristyn On Oct 18, 2011, at 6:45 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote: Hi guys. I have a question for those of you especially who have a Focus 40 Bluetooth display, and especially if you have paired it with an iPad. I sent my PacMate braille display off today. Depending on what Freedom Scientific says about the cost of fixing it, I would like to do a little research. I might be able to use the PacMate display a little longer because it's not totally gone. It has a big problem with the whiz wheels, which for me is a problem because I have to roll braille up and down, and it's faster reading for me if I use it. So, here's the question for you guys. How long does the battery on an iPad last if you use a bluetooth braille display? Do you like it? Can you set the keys for commands like delete, etc.? Thanks ahead of time.

Lion and iTunes issues
Hi guys: Since I updated, weird things are going on. First of all, my iPad is showing up in devices and it isn't hooked up. Second, my iTunes keeps trying to download podcasts and It is taking all day. I know there cannot be that many episodes. I also cannot drag and drop from my Nano to my iTunes. I want to drag a playlist from the iPod. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: new mac user with two basic questions?
Dear Karen, I have not done this myself in all the years I have had a Mac except back in the 90's with Disk First Aid. I did open disk Utility and went to Disk Utility Help. Under Disk Repair it tells how to repair the disk. If it is the disk that is also being used as the start up disk, the disk utility is a little limited. Apparently , it is better to run Disk Utility from the original Installation disks if they are available. I hope this helps.

Re: new mac user with two basic questions?
Hi, There is no need to defrag a Mac. The Mac does its own optimizing in the middle of the night, on the weekend and another one once a moth. Just don't turn off the computer and it will do everything by itself. It doesn't hurt to go into Disk Utility and do a Repair Disk Permissions once in a while. It can improve performance if things have got out of whack, once a month is more then frequent enough. With respect to Word Processors, Pages does work fine although there are some things that can be frustrating, but then again, one can get frustrated with Word on the PC as well. Later...

Re: Chrome and Chromevox
There is documentation somewhere by Google that tells you to use the control + Alt keys when using something other than the NetBook. On the Mac, that would be Control + Option. I haven't tried all the commands but most of them have been working for me. Chrome does handle some sites better than Safari but ChromeVox certainly does not have as many shortcuts as VO for moving around web sites quickly. As Google themselves say though, ChromeVox is a work in progress so expect improvements as time goes on. Later... On 2011-10-17, at 9:02 PM, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: 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: using Classic view in Mail in Lion but....
Dear Anne, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I've been using the new version of lion nail and expanding individual conversations as needed. That took a minute to learn but I seem to be comfortable now. I'll go back to trying your idea just to see if I can make it work. Thanks again for all your help.
