Voice overcannot be heard over bluetooth headphones

2011-12-08 Thread Moses Choo
Dear all, 

I am only a very recent iPhone user and would be grateful if some can throw 
some light on my problem. 

I am using the iPhone 4 and have paired with a Clip 2 mini 606 bluetooth 
headphone.

As for using it to talk over the phone there is certainly no issue.  However, 
the Voiceover channel does not get into the bluetooth at all. Does anyone out 
there have experience my problem?  or can someone hear recommend me a 
particular brand and model that will not result in such a problem. 

Regards,

Moases  from Malaysia.

Issues downgrading to Snow Leopard

2011-12-08 Thread Gavin
Hi guys,

As I've mentioned in previous threads, I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro, and 
have been wanting to downgrade to Snow Leopard for some time. Well, I'm pleased 
to report that I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of it this morning. 
Now the problems start. When booting from the dvd, I get the Apple logo, then a 
screen with a bunch of error messages, a few of them saying things like, 
"Panic!" and, "Unsupported CPU." I read somewhere that the dvd must have at 
least 10.6.8, because that update contains all the drivers necessary to support 
the newer hardware. I don't know how recent the disk I have is. I've already 
downloaded the update combo for 10.6.8. Is there a way to integrate this with 
the dvd somehow?

Regards,

Gavin

Re: Braillent BI 40 and mion

2011-12-08 Thread Scott Howell
I'm assuming we are talking about the same display. The Brailliant I have does 
not have a keyboard. I cannot recall the exact model number of the unit I have 
in the office, so whatever you get, if you want to have a Braille keyboard as 
well, be sure to select the correct model. I won't be able to check which model 
I have since I will not be back in the office until January.
The displays are actually made by Baum, so they will be quite good.

Used to own one very similar to it and worked great in snow leopard. don't see 
why it shouldn't on lion. there are most likely others with similar displays on 
lion.

is it a new version of the brailliant?

if so you're fine.

uninstlalation wowes

2011-12-08 Thread Ray Foret Jr
Okay.  Twice now, I've had to restore my system from Time Machine backups 
because I could not successfully uninstall to apps; those being Fan Control and 
JDownload.  With Fan control, the files which one is supposed to delete under 
~Library/Preferences are not to be found there.  Also, there is nothing in the 
start up items folder off the Library folder of the main volume.

With respect to JDownload, there seems to be no way to remove it after 
installation.  I found that on the Mac Rumors forum, others also had this to 
say.

Question seems to be this.  When an app has an installer package, should I 
first look todetermin whether uninstallation is possible before deciding 
whenter or not to install?  Thanks.


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Re: weird VoiceOver thing happened

2011-12-08 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
this happens with most removeable media volumes as the finder is trying to 
prepare the drive for preview and access. voiceover usually has a glitch like 
this and has done in my experience since the start.

Voiceover still needs some serious tweeks to it to make it more stable.

weird VoiceOver thing happened

2011-12-08 Thread Eugenia Firth
I just had to turn in a problem to Apple because this is definitely a VoiceOver 
thing. 

I have this thumb drive with a lot of files on it. Every time I plug it into my 
MacBook Pro, I get a Finer busy message that won't go away unless I turn 
VoiceOver off. Most of the time, if I do this, everything is fine after that. 
However, this last time, when I turned Vo back on, it started stuttering real 
bad. It's a good thing I had a Focus 40 braille display on my computer because 
I was able to shut the computer down with it. Vo was still running the braille 
display. In fact, since I was in the middle of copying a file to the thumb 
drive, I just used the braille display to finish that before I shut it down, 
even though I had to listen to weird speech. 

I have had this stuttering before, but I think it's better since the last 
update.

Gigi

Hi guys,

As I've mentioned in previous threads, I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro, and
have been wanting to downgrade to Snow Leopard for some time.
Well, I'm pleased to report that I finally managed to get my hands on a copy
of it this morning. Now the problems start. When booting from the dvd, I get
the Apple logo, then a screen with a bunch of error messages, a few of them
saying things like, "Panic!" and, "Unsupported CPU." I read somewhere that
the dvd must have at least 10.6.8, because that update contains all the
drivers necessary to support the newer hardware. I don't know how recent the
disk I have is. I've already downloaded the update combo for 10.6.8. Is
there a way to integrate this with the dvd somehow?

Regards,

Gavin
