Now after the options Facebook gives you [I did not like my suggestions] there is a edit box where you can put your own name! There is a see if name is available button after you put your choice, if it is available you can have it! If not try another or add a number to the end! [ it might help] 5. When your happy come out of Facebook and open Adium! 6. In Adium on your contacts window open vo+m and go to the file menu! 7. Scroll down to add new account sub menu and arrow right, go down to Jabber and select it! 8. In the new account window is where you'll find those tabs, the first one should be selected just scroll past until you get to where you put your new user name!

icloud as dropbox: possibilities and/or limitations
Hello, I have red and tested about iCloud as dropbox alike service. I mean, there is a folder on the mac where you can put in some types of documents that appear in iWork's on ios. I have placed a txt, rtf, doc and pdf document in /home/user/library/mobile documents/. In that directory I was looking for the directory documents for pages. When I was putting there all the documents, the doc, pages and txt files where shown directly in pages on my iPhone, the others didn't came up. so far so good. When I was editing the doc, pages and txt-file and I saved my changes, it was updated on my mac directly but, I couldn't read it. The file became a directory with extension .pages.tef inside that folder, there where the following files/folders: buildversionhistory.plist index.db index.viewstate and a folder with the name: previews and a file previews.jpg in it. I saw no possibility to read the changes on my mac. Is there a possibility to use iCloud as a dropbox-alike system? kind regards, William Windels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Well, I have it on my hard drive; but, when I add it to my ITunes library, it creates a duplicate file of exactly the same size. That means I've got two copies of the file where as I only wish to have just one. that's a waste of disk space. The ITunes library is so cluncky it's beyond belief. I have numorous loose files which are not tagged and which I have no wish to add to the ITunes Library thus making unnecessary duplicates. Much better, so far as I am concerned, to have a layer which has ENQ and which can be triggered directly from the finder window. In short, you locate your first file in the finder, and, you can ENQ that file in to your player directly. Then, the next file and the next and so forth.

Emails on the Ipod Touch
Hey all. I just got an Ipod touch a week ago. I'm really enjoying it, I installed that 5-0 Canadian Police Scanner app and everything's good. Well, except for email. I don't know why, but it automatically thought my account was an Imap account rather than a pop3. Now messages have been sent to it from a few years back onward. Is there a way to set it to pop3? If there isn't, how do I delete all my past emails? Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Drop ship! was Re: any alternatives to Drop box yet?
Hi all! here is another suggestion for a alternative to drop box! You can ask for more info at supp...@mac-access.net The service, known as Drop Ship is open to any members of any of Mac Access Dot Net, Techno Chat Dot Net or Just Chat Dot Net email lists. Drop Ship allows you to share files with anybody anywhere who has an email address, plus store backups of files on a virtual drive stored securely and encrypted at Mac Access Dot Net' UK HQ. Even the site administrators cannot see your files; and the transfer links themselves use the latest industry-standard SSL encryption certificates recognised by 99.9% of the world's modern browsers and FTP clients. The service supports: FTP with SSL/TLS FTP with implicit SSL FTP in the clear (not recommended) HTTPS: fully authenticated SSL WebDAV fully authenticated. As for space, the only restriction is common sense and fair play. The physical storage media used for housing the encrypted data is based around a 12TB RAID array, (hardware-based). The service also supports a File Request facility whereby people registered to use the service will be able to send a file request link to anybody with an email address. When the recipient clicks the link, they are presented with a standard browser window where they may select a file to upload to the secure server. The upload is secure and once the file reaches the server, the person who originated the request is sent another email telling them that their file has arrived and giving them a secure download URL. It should be made clear that, while the service is free and fully accessible, it does not support the sync services which DropBox offers. This is a file sharing service provided to the members of the above-mentioned groups as a courtesy by the site administrators. If it's abused, the administrators reserve the right to remove any member from the service at any time. If that happens all the files which that member may have stored on their virtual drive are securely deleted. Whilst membership of the email groups is mandatory for the registered drop ship users, if the registered member opts to send a file request, the recipient of the request does not need to be a member. This is only a suggestion! Please do not kill me! :] Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Well, to speak frankly, I will tell you; at least from my point of view. With regard to ITunes as a player, (and mind you I speak here strictly in terms of the layer itself), I can't argue with it. Well,almost. ITunes doesn't do ENQ. Okay, there's the ITunes DJ thingie I grant you, but, I can't find tracks easily with that, and, besides, I don't want to be adding tracks and files to the ITunes Library all the time just to make them easier to find. Now, we come to the real issue. ITunes is so damn library dependant. The ITunes library really sucks! Let's say I have the song Life Without you and it's in the .m4a for mat. Well, I have it on my hard drive; but, when I add it to my ITunes library, it creates a duplicate file of exactly the same size. That means I've got two copies of the file where as I only wish to have just one. that's a waste of disk space. The ITunes library is so cluncky it's beyond belief. I have numorous loose files which are not tagged and which I have no wish to add to the ITunes Library thus making unnecessary duplicates. Much better, so far as I am concerned, to have a layer which has ENQ and which can be triggered directly from the finder window. In short, you locate your first file in the finder, and, you can ENQ that file in to your player directly. Then, the next file and the next and so forth. The player would also allow you to directly control the cross fading between files and no lag time at all between files. That's just the start. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Re: Drop ship! was Re: any alternatives to Drop box yet?
Fair play for trying to give back to the community, but your service is not an alternative to Dropbox. One of the major things Dropbox has going for it is the background, effortless syncing of files between all of the devices registered under a user's account. All that is on offer here is the use of a file server, and one with no enforced storage or bandwidth limits at that. PublicFTP tried to offer something similar a couple of years back, and instantly realised it was an unrealistic goal. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Why Winamp?
Never heard of this problem before. Also, if you want your media stored on an external device, why not just have iTunes put it there in the first place. If you hold down option while launching iTunes it will prompt you for a library location. From there you can just navigate to your external drive and then everything will go there unless you change it again. Of course if you don't have your external drive hooked up then you won't have access to your music.

Well, to speak frankly, I will tell you; at least from my point of view. With regard to ITunes as a player, (and mind you I speak here strictly in terms of the layer itself), I can't argue with it. Well, almost. ITunes doesn't do ENQ. Okay, there's the ITunes DJ thingie I grant you, but, I can't find tracks easily with that, and, besides, I don't want to be adding tracks and files to the ITunes Library all the time just to make them easier to find. Now, we come to the real issue. ITunes is so damn library dependant. The ITunes library really sucks! Let's say I have the song /Life Without you/ and it's in the .m4a for mat. Well, I have it on my hard drive; but, when I add it to my ITunes library, it creates a duplicate file of exactly the same size. That means I've got two copies of the file where as I only wish to have just one. that's a waste of disk space. The ITunes library is so cluncky it's beyond belief. I have numorous loose files which are not tagged and which I have no wish to add to the ITunes Library thus making unnecessary duplicates. Much better, so far as I am concerned, to have a layer which has ENQ and which can be triggered directly from the finder window. In short, you locate your first file in the finder, and, you can ENQ that file in to your player directly. Then, the next file and the next and so forth. The player would also allow you to directly control the cross fading between files and no lag time at all between files. That's just the start. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Re: Mail and Safari
Hi Ricardo, Well it's like this: First of all lets take care of the minor things. When I first installed Lion back in the beginning of July, I set up mail in classic view without conversations. When I would open up a message, VO would start reading immediately. After the large update of about a week and a half ago, when opening up a message in mail, I am left in message headers group. In order to get VO to read automatically, I need to VO + left or right arrow to get into text view and then VO will start reading the message automatically once again. Is this making sense to you? I would like to get things back to the way it was before. Thanks Ricardo! BTW, I'm the guy that was asking about how to re-subscribe to the accessible aphone listserv.

Also, the books from Project Gutenberg that are in the public domain have no DRM, and can be read. However, most commercial eBooks that you buy through iBooks cannot be read with Adobe Digital Editions Preview. Stanza Desktop (with Mac and Windows versions from Lexcycle), was actually a utility program designed to assist in converting ebook formats and transferring them to the Stanza eReader app on your iOS device -- it was not designed primarily to be used as a reader. At one point it was viewed as the major competitor to the Amazon Kindle, especially in markets outside of the United States. Then Amazon bought out Lexcycle. That's one reason why there are no new developments. I was surprised when they released Stanza 3.0 in June 2010 after the acquisition. It is actually possible to use Stanza with VoiceOver on iOS devices, but most people find it disconcerting, because the application reads to the end of each chapter, but doesn't update the screen. However, it is usable, and supported bookmarking and search functions before iBooks had these features. With improved features and iBook accessibility, the iBook app is a better bet for VoiceOver users now. HTH.

pdf, captcha, eba/paypal, and access.
Hi folks, For reasons that are complicated to explain I have the ear of the legal department at paypal -ebay. Part of the reason is that, as some of you may know, they are *requiring* all users to agree that that they read pdf files, or they will lose their account. Because of this and some other access issues with paypal and ebay, i have been asked to document why things like pdf and captcha are issues for those using adaptive tools. I have told them already that to assume everyone is using jaws is impractical, and that still browsers like lynx, with its recent edition dated June 2011, are good foundations for access. I have shared that pdf reaains a hurtle, and captcha is flat out an issue, as is stuff like flash. because they are serious though I want to make maximum use of this opportunity. What I would welcome is article information, places that discuss why pdf for example and captcha remain barriers. Likewise posts from you if you have met with issues with either service would be welcome. I want them to fix this for everyone, not just sweep me under the corporate rug. That they are shifting all document responsibility t the end user is disturbing, since if you have an issue say with security, you will bare the blame for any discrepancies in documentation. Additionally, if part of your professional life is access, share under your professional umbrella. If I get enough research responses, i will construct a solid document for them, and include as many other people as I can.

VO can be turned on and off from the Settings, general, Accessibility menu, but still no triple click. Any more suggestions?

Re: Apple TV and triple clicking VO on and off
I am running the latest version of the apple tv software... Are you talking about the flat play pause button on the under right of the arrows? Or the big one in the middle of the arrows, aka the menu or ok button...

I'm not sure what your really asking but, yes, there is an eMail associated with iCloud. If I remember correctly, when you configure your iCloud account in System Preferences, you can set it up at that time when you check the Mail, Notes and such option. Later...

Re: Using Time Machine with VoiceOver
Robert, I can't answer the question you posed, but I do have one of my own that I was about to post concerning Time Machine. I got this terrabyte drive from the Apple store. They helped me set up Time Machine since I had no clue about what I was doing. They also let me sit there while my computer copied all my files to my new drive, after they got it started. Now here's my question for anybody who knows. I know Time Machine does hourly backups. However, I don't always keep my drive plugged in to my MacBook Pro. When you plug your drive in and Time Machine starts up, how can you tell when it gets done with your backup. I think it's doing it because I get folders with the date and time on it of my backup, and I can find files. However, VoiceOver has not been saying anything during the process, except the time when I was in the Apple store getting everything copied. Am I doing something wrong here or is there something I need to do to find out what the progress is during the backup?

Re: Using Time Machine with VoiceOver
Just look in the status menu. It's there. Or, you can go into System Preferences and go into Time Machine and check the progress that way. It's not that hard. BTW Time Machine is very easy to set up with VoiceOver; all you have to do is follow the instructions it gives you and click a few self-explanatory buttons which are labeledclearly for the most part as to what they do.

Re: Using Time Machine with VoiceOver
Hi Gigi, The easiest way to see the progress your Time Machine backup is to go up to the Time Machine status menu. Simply press VO-m twice to access the Status menus, then navigate right until VO says something about Time Machine then use your down arrow to see what's happening with your Time Machine backups. Vo will announce within that menu whether Time Machine is currently backing up and tell you how much out of how much is done or will announce when the last successful backup occurred. Later...
