hmmm. interesting.

I do have to admit to noticing a small issue. coming out of lock screen, if I 
touch an icon, it launches the phone without warning. h. time to 
investigate it a bit further and speak with some other guys 

all I can say is report all issues here to iphone accessibility and development 
so that us devs know about it and can resolve it.

usually, a bug fix comes out in the first month or so. lets see.

2012-03-10 Thread Scott Howell
I finally encountered this. I cannot reliably reproduce the issue, but I have 
seen it. Not sure exactly what conditions if any need to exist for the problem 
to occur either. The one thing I have always experienced and never quite 
understood is why you get a phone call and if you unlock the screen, the Phone 
app is always sitting there in the foreground. That behavior has existed for a 
very long time and always something I wish APple would change.

Re: Antivirus for mac

2012-03-10 Thread Scott Howell
Hey Lew,

I thought the Sophos site offered some interesting info and glad they still 
support the software. I would be curious what if any differences there are and 
if one may be more effective over the other. I will also ask around and see if 
I can get some questions answered and will share what I learn.
I'm always interested in keeping up with what is going on in the world of 
viruses etc. Perhaps not a significant issue for a Mac today, but one can never 
be to ready. :)
Besides we should be considerate of our windows friends. :)

Re: IOS 5.1

2012-03-10 Thread Garth Humphreys
There seems to be a few interesting things happening when coming out of lock 
screen since the update. For me it's the same. The phone gets activated even 
though I have put focus on another app. Also I have found myself in editing 
mode twice now since the update. To be clear, I unlock the screen and try to do 
something but find that I have been put into editing app mode. It seems to be 
to do with the timing. You can't unlock the screen and immediately attempt to 
take an action as you could previously. You need to give the iPhone a second or 
two.

Well, I haven't had those problems yet. I have noticed, however, that I think

Re: IOS 5.1

Hi,

I can reproduce this bug 100% of the time.  When you unlock, you just press 
anywhere on the screen before voiceover announces the name of the last app you 
where focused on before you locked your device.  This will launch the phone app 
or, what ever app happens to be in the 1st slot in your dock.

Hi,

I can reproduce this bug 100% of the time.  When you unlock, you just press 
anywhere on the screen before voiceover announces the name of the last app you 
where focused on before you locked your device.  This will launch the phone app 
or, what ever app happens to be in the 1st slot in your dock.

 I finally encountered this. I cannot reliably reproduce the issue, but I have

 the Phone app is always sitting there in the foreground. That behavior has 
 existed for a very long time and always something I wish APple would change.

 I do have to admit to noticing a small issue. coming out of lock screen, if 
 I touch an icon, it launches the phone without warning. h. time to 
 investigate it a bit further and speak with some other guys 
 
 all I can say is report all issues here to iphone accessibility and 
 development so that us devs know about it and can resolve it.
 
 usually, a bug fix comes out in the first month or so. lets see.

 Hey Lou. I just checked and the setting to view notifications in locked

 read me the notification, and sometimes if it's from Imap Weather Radio, 
 it'll just say slide to view and if it's a text it'll just say slide to 
 reply. Also I'm not touching the screen at all when these notifications 
 appear.

Apple script example

2012-03-10 Thread Michael Malarsie
Hey everyone,
There has been a lot of talk about apple scripts but I am bringing it 
up again.
I have done a lot of searching on Google about how it works so I have a 
very small understanding of that. What I don't get thought is how to actually 
write them. 
I don't understand what needs quotes around it and what needs brackets 
and so on. 
Can someone send me a few scripts of varying difficulty so I can 
examine how they need to be arranged?
I really appreciate any help. Take car!

printing out envelopes and labels in TextEdit under Snow Leopard?

Should I choose Airport Extreme?

2012-03-10 Thread Traci
Hi all,

A little introduction here.  Traditionally, I love to read and research 
technology.  The exception is wireless routers.  I find them confusing and 
frustrating!

Currently, I'm comparing a dLink wireless N router and the airport extreme.  On 
one hand, I want to take the easy route and buy the airport extreme.  I have 
had nothing but good experiences with Apple products.

On that other hand, the dLink gets good reviews on Amazon and it is half the 
price.

Please, guidance is welcome.  We live in a 2 story townhouse and the router is 
usually upstairs.  We have around 10 various devices that will be wirelessly 
connecting to the router at times.  Usually, 2 or 3 at the same time.

To extend this question further.  Both of these routers have the USB connection 
on the back of the unit.  Am I understanding it correctly, that this is how we 
could wirelessly listen to our music collection?

Thanks all, hopefully you can help me sort this out.

Re: printing out envelopes and labels in TextEdit under Snow Leopard?

2012-03-10 Thread Esther

Hi Mark,

The easy way to print out envelopes and address labels is to select entries from your 
address book and then use the print dialog to specify details about your formatting.  
This works in Lion, too, but you may need to navigate to the Show Details 
button and press it (VO-Space) after issuing your Command-P to print. Basically, the 
detailed view will give you access to pop up menu buttons that let you choose between 
printing envelops and mailing labels.  You can further adjust these settings for 
custom-sized envelopes or particular mailing label sheets by modifying tabs for the 
layout, if you need to, but I think you'll find the default settings work for most of 
what you want to do.

I ran a Mail Archive search on from:Esther address envelopes and pulled up my 
post which links to the step-by-step instructions that Anne Robertson gave on the old 
(pre-2009) list.  Here's my post:
• Printing envelopes from the Address Book [was Re: Using Drag and Drop in 
VoiceOver]:
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg30761.html
You can read down the thread in Safari with the Control-N access key shortcut to read the 
next post, and use the Control-P access key shortcut to read the previous post in the 
thread.  If you're using some other web browser, change the access key prefix from 
Control to make the appropriate combination (e.g. in Internet explorer, these 
become Alt-N and Alt-P).

I'll also paste in the direct link to Anne's post in the old list if you don't 
want to read my comments about printing mailing labels:
• Re: Addressing envelopes with Voiceover
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg45300.html

I think this pretty much still works, although you don't have to use groups in 
Address Book unless you want to bulk process your envelope printing.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

*sigh* I *KNEW* that not putting people's addresses into AddressBook's database 
would come back to bite me in the bum sooner or later.  *laugh* Thanks for 
this, Esther; it almost looks possible from Format in TextEdit, if I change the 
paper size and margins, so I could make a sample template, for envelopes in 
TextEdit.  Your way is faster--or would, if I ever bothered to write people 
down. :)

Re: Should I choose Airport Extreme?

2012-03-10 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
Hi and welcome.

Routers are always a puzzle for folks these days.

The D link router is a mainstage router meaning that there is a direct line 
feed from your phone line etc to the router, unless you're using cable where as 
I understand in the USA there's a direct connection, the airport unit / time 
capsule unit is primarily a router taking a feed from your main modem device if 
you know what I mean.

I'm stating this as here in the UK, the airport extreme and other similar 
models in the range can't be used as combination DSL modems and routers, they 
are only routers requiring a feed from a master modem from the phone line.

As regards USB, the USB interface can be used for storage devices like 
connected hard drives or printers which don't support wireless connections, etc 
or CAT5 connections for that matter. So using either the airport and it's 
family of products or the DLink routers will give you the same level of 
connectivity and support. the only difference is direct connectivity. the 
airport has direct connectivity to access settings and controls, where as the 
DLink uses a connection to it's inbuilt web server portal.

either will do.

the beauty behind DLink is they are owned by HP enterprise networking 
solutions, so DLink will offer you greater support compared to cheaper products 
on the net.

RE: Should I choose Airport Extreme?

2012-03-10 Thread Bill Holton
With the USB connection on the Extreme I was able to connect my printer so
it's available on all computers in the house even if my main computer is
turned off.  And this is an old HP laser printer, not a network compatible
printer.  You should also be able to add a splitter and install an HD, I did
this for a while but I could not use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my disk
over this networked drive so I would up reattaching it directly to my Mac.

Hope this helps.

Re: Apple script example

2012-03-10 Thread Yuma Antoine Decaux
Hi Mike,

Here's a very simple script which can allow some insight. Anything that is a 
string will be always between quotes while anything in a list will be between 
braces. Parens, like logical operations, are used to prioritize one operation 
from another, and they are also used for properties of objects.
If you type two dashes at the beginning of line, the line will be considered a 
comment and not included in the compile. Same for /* and */ where everything 
between will be ignored.



set thevar to text returned of (display dialog what's your name? default 
answer  buttons {cancel, ok} default button 2)
Set your_name to thevar
Set random_greet to {?hello, hi, what's up, good day}
Say an item of random_greet  your_name


The english is almost palpable in the script, but you need to get the hang of 
it. And also, get familiar with all the objects in each application's 
dictionary by pressing command shift o within applescript editor.

Here's the script. Broken down by --comments


--start by asking the user something
set thename to text returned of (display dialog what's your name? default 
answer  buttons {cancel, ok} default button 2)
--make or set the variables for containment and use
set random_greet to {hello, hi, what's up, good day}
set thegreet to some item of random_greet
--return the variables as a spoken sentence
--leave a few seconds to shut up the system voice over
delay 3
say thegreet  thename  , what can i help you with?


This is a totally useless script, but there's a lot of grammar and types in 
there, and you can replace stuff around to see how it works.


Hope this somewhat helps

Getting Addresses into your Address Book with Data Detectors [was Re: printing out envelopes and labels in TextEdit under Snow Leopard?]

2012-03-10 Thread Esther

Hi Mark,

I took a look at using data detectors and enabling this in TextEdit, which may help with your importing into Address Book.  If 
you are using TextEdit you can enable this feature by using the context menu, VO-Shift-M, and then either quickly pressing 
s u or arrowing down to the Substitutions menu option, pressing Right arrow to move to the 
Substitutions submenu, and arrowing down to Data Detectors and pressing return to select that 
option.

What this lets you do is navigate to entries in your TextEdit document that appear to contain addresses and 
easily add them to your Address Book as either new contact entries, or as additions to existing contacts via 
the context menu.  Try this out by navigating to the recipient's address in a letter you compose in TextEdit. 
For example, if I'm reviewing the letter and use VO-Down arrow to move to one of the address lines, the 
context menu brought up with VO-Shift-M contains options for Create new contact…, Add to 
existing contact…, and Show address in Google Maps.  

If you want to enable use of data detectors in TextEdit for all new documents, you can bring up the 
preferences menu with Command-Comma, and on the New Document tab that is probably selected by 
default, navigate to the check boxes under Options and check Data Detectors with 
VO-Space,

I admit that I hadn't used this previously from TextEdit.  Data detectors are 
turned on by default in Mail. 

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

*sigh* I *KNEW* that not putting people's addresses into AddressBook's database would 
come back to bite me in the bum sooner or later. *laugh* Thanks for this, Esther; it 
almost looks possible from Format in TextEdit, if I change the paper size and margins, so 
I could make a sample template, for envelopes in TextEdit. Your way is 
faster--or would, if I ever bothered to write people down. :)

Re: Should I choose Airport Extreme?

2012-03-10 Thread jason lefevers
Hey tracy, I recently got the airport extreme and so far I like it. First it 
was very easy to setup with no sighted assistance. I am not sure about the 
other router you are looking at but the airport extreme is a dualband which is 
where some of the cost comes from. This will make a difference while using 
multiple devices and streaming content. We currently are running 2 ipones, a 
Ipad, 4 computers, a apple tv and a wireless home stereo system and they all 
work great anywhere in my house.

 Hi all,
 
 A little introduction here.  Traditionally, I love to read and research

 Currently, I'm comparing a dLink wireless N router and the airport extreme.  
 On one hand, I want to take the easy route and buy the airport extreme.  I 
 have had nothing but good experiences with Apple products.
 
 On that other hand, the dLink gets good reviews on Amazon and it is half the 
 price.
 
 Please, guidance is welcome.  We live in a 2 story townhouse and the router 
 is usually upstairs.  We have around 10 various devices that will be 
 wirelessly connecting to the router at times.  Usually, 2 or 3 at the same 
 time.
 
 To extend this question further.  Both of these routers have the USB 
 connection on the back of the unit.  Am I understanding it correctly, that 
 this is how we could wirelessly listen to our music collection?
 
 Thanks all, hopefully you can help me sort this out.

Thanks again!  I never really understood the irritating little buggers, 
honestly, and will have to turn them off in mail if I can; didn't think I 
could.  They are currently turned OFF in TextEdit, but yes, that might be a 
more useful way of tracking and manipulating data. :)

 Hi Mike,
 
 Here's a very simple script which can allow some insight. Anything that is a 
 string will be always between quotes while anything in a list will be between 
 braces. Parens, like logical operations, are used to prioritize one operation 
 from another, and they are also used for properties of objects.
 If you type two dashes at the beginning of line, the line will be considered 
 a comment and not included in the compile. Same for /* and */ where 
 everything between will be ignored.
 
 
 
 set thevar to text returned of (display dialog what's your name? default 
 answer  buttons {cancel, ok} default button 2)
 Set your_name to thevar
 Set random_greet to {?hello, hi, what's up, good day}
 Say an item of random_greet  your_name
 
 
 The english is almost palpable in the script, but you need to get the hang of 
 it. And also, get familiar with all the objects in each application's 
 dictionary by pressing command shift o within applescript editor.
 
 Here's the script. Broken down by --comments
 
 
 --start by asking the user something
 set thename to text returned of (display dialog what's your name? default

 --make or set the variables for containment and use

 set thegreet to some item of random_greet
 --return the variables as a spoken sentence
 --leave a few seconds to shut up the system voice over
 delay 3
 say thegreet  thename  , what can i help you with?
 
 
 This is a totally useless script, but there's a lot of grammar and types in 
 there, and you can replace stuff around to see how it works.
 
 
 Hope this somewhat helps

Re: Should I choose Airport Extreme?

There are more reasons to go with an AirPort router over any other model. There

External Drive Partition Help

partition the size for each partition decreases. For example:
P1 = 1.00 TB
P2 = 1.50 TB, and 
P3 = 500.00 GB.

I have a 3TB external SeaGate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you 
wish to message me off list anyone can do so. Thanks.

Disregard Disk Partition Help Message

2012-03-10 Thread Emilio Hernandez
Hello guys,

Please disregard the last message I posted asking about disk partitioning. I 
figured out the steps from a post I did not see before.
Sorry for the clutter - cheers.

Re: Should I choose Airport Extreme?

2012-03-10 Thread Traci
Thanks all,

So, the Airport Extreme sounds more and more tempting.

I've been doing further reading tonight and have some more questions.

One thing we'll need is to use our wireless printer.  I see websites mentioning 
connecting USB printers, but how about our wireless one?  If I remember 
correctly, we don't usually connect it at all.  We enter in our wireless user 
name and password into the printer.  Should this work the same way with the 
Airport Extreme?

Lastly. we have a windows laptop that will be using the wireless.  Does the 
airport extreme work seamlessly with windows as well?

Thanks again, :)

 There are more reasons to go with an AirPort router over any other model. 
 There are security reasons among many more. I cannot recommend Linksys 
 routers as they are not nearly as secure as Apple routers. I'm sure many will 
 not agree, but you go with an APple router and you will not regret the extra 
 expense.

 Hi all,
 
 A little introduction here.  Traditionally, I love to read and research 
 technology.  The exception is wireless routers.  I find them confusing and 
 frustrating!
 
 Currently, I'm comparing a dLink wireless N router and the airport extreme.  
 On one hand, I want to take the easy route and buy the airport extreme.  I 
 have had nothing but good experiences with Apple products.
 
 On that other hand, the dLink gets good reviews on Amazon and it is half the 
 price.
 
 Please, guidance is welcome.  We live in a 2 story townhouse and the router 
 is usually upstairs.  We have around 10 various devices that will be 
 wirelessly connecting to the router at times.  Usually, 2 or 3 at the same 
 time.
 
 To extend this question further.  Both of these routers have the USB 
 connection on the back of the unit.  Am I understanding it correctly, that 
 this is how we could wirelessly listen to our music collection?
 
 Thanks all, hopefully you can help me sort this out.

Re: IOS 5.1

2012-03-10 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

I think it always was, its just that your now being informed.  In truth though, 
its not really 4G.  Your not using ATT's LTE network but, 3.5 G which is HSPA 
+.  I thought the carriers did consumers a disservice calling HSPA + and WIMAX 
4G networks.

 hi , I have also experienced this bug since doing the 5.1 update on my 4s. I 
 also wanted to share a Positive thing that a client of mine told me about and 
 I confirmed is that with the Update to IOS 5.1 my Iphone 4s is now running on 
 the 4g network. so to check just look at the status bar at the top of the 
 phone and if your not using a wifi network it will say 4g now where it use to 
 say 3g  or edge depending on where you where. Just thought I would share this 
 . btw I am on at*t .

 Hi,
 
 I can reproduce this bug 100% of the time.  When you unlock, you just press 
 anywhere on the screen before voiceover announces the name of the last app 
 you where focused on before you locked your device.  This will launch the 
 phone app or, what ever app happens to be in the 1st slot in your dock.

 I finally encountered this. I cannot reliably reproduce the issue, but I 
 have seen it. Not sure exactly what conditions if any need to exist for the 
 problem to occur either. The one thing I have always experienced and never 
 quite understood is why you get a phone call and if you unlock the screen, 
 the Phone app is always sitting there in the foreground. That behavior has 
 existed for a very long time and always something I wish APple would change.

 hmmm. interesting.
 
 I do have to admit to noticing a small issue. coming out of lock screen, 
 if I touch an icon, it launches the phone without warning. h. time to 
 investigate it a bit further and speak with some other guys 
 
 all I can say is report all issues here to iphone accessibility and 
 development so that us devs know about it and can resolve it.
 
 usually, a bug fix comes out in the first month or so. lets see.

 Hey Lou. I just checked and the setting to view notifications in locked 
 screen is turned on. Let me be more specific about the bug. Sometimes 
 it'll read me the notification, and sometimes if it's from Imap Weather 
 Radio, it'll just say slide to view and if it's a text it'll just say 
 slide to reply. Also I'm not touching the screen at all when these 
 notifications appear.
