RE: backing up apps in itunes

2012-05-08 Thread alberto arreola
Well in iTunes if you back up your apps everyday and you have an app that
was updated today persay and you update it on the phone then backed it up to
iTunes the old version of the app will be removed and replaced with the new
one.  The same thing goes for iCloud.

But, if I understand you correctly, that would not necessarily be the same
if you were just backing up apps from your phone to your computer because
they wouldn't be checked for release date there, but the would be if backing

It does seem like a reasonable idea.  But, I have a question in that regard.

Question: If you have backed up apps either on the computer or iCloud how do 
you know whethere there are multiple copies of an app or whether the version 
that is backed up is the most current update of the app that is backed up. 
If the backup is likely to not be the most recent version then that would be 
all the more reason to not backup and just download a copy of an app that 
you needed to replace because then you would know that you had the latest 
update of that app.

I assume we are talking about iPhone apps? What seting would one change to stop

I found it useful to have them if an update should brake accessibility. It was 
comforting to find the old versions in trash.

The funny thing is that this does not occur in Outlook 2007.

backing up apps in itunes

2012-05-08 Thread Mike Arrigo
Hey everyone, I'm wondering what everyone thinks of keeping their apps backed 
up in itunes. Do most of you do this? The reason I ask is, since you can 
redownload them if needed by going to the purchased tab in the app store, I've 
thought about deleting them from my computers and freeing up several GB of disk 
space.

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?

2012-05-08 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi Venkatesh
I have not noticed a significant battery problem from my iPhone 4 and when i 
fot  4S. You might want to get a portable battery charger you can carry around. 
That's at I did, but I seldom have to use it from within my purse. 

I think the dictation feature is pretty good, but then I am doing it with a 
southern U.S. accent. Having said that, I have to be careful to say my words 
clearly so Siri will understand me.

iBird Explorer Pro and iBird United Kingdom & Ireland apps on sale for $0.99

2012-05-08 Thread Esther
Hi All,

I know that some of you like and use birdsong apps.  The iBird Explorer Pro app 
is currently on sale for $0.99 to celebrate iBird's 3-year anniversary.  This 
is their premier app that normally costs $29.99 (although they've recently 
reduced the price to $14.99 before this sale). It lists 924 birds of North 
America with an extensive repertoire of audio sound tracks and description of 
habits, habitat, phonetic rendition of characteristic calls, etc., and with 
professional extra features over the iBird Explorer Plus app, and is a 
universal binary.  The other apps on sale for $0.99 are the iBird United 
Kingdom & Ireland app (price dropped from $4.99) and the iBird Pro HD app 
(dropped from $9.99) that is specifically for the iPad.  This is a limited time 
sale. I'm cc'ing to the macvisionaries group, as well.  Here are the app store 
links:
• iBird Explorer Pro
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibird-explorer-pro/id308018823?mt=8

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?

2012-05-08 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

honestly, at this point I would just hold off.  The 4S has already been out for 
7 months.  In 5 months or less there will more than likely be a new iPhone for 
you to pick up instead.  And if you don't want to do that, you can get a 4S at 
a cheaper price once the new iPhone is released.

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?

2012-05-08 Thread Rahul Bajaj
Hi,

I won't be able to answer all your questions as I don't use the iPhone 4S, but 
I can answer your first question.
I was recently trying out Siri on a cousin's iPhone.
And, frankly, I was a little disappointed.
This was because of 2 main reasons:
First, Siri has a hard time understanding the Indian accent.
They say that the accuracy of the results depends on the clarity of your 
voice and not your accent, but I personally found it really hard to communicate 
with Siri.
And a few of my friends who've tried it have also had similar experiences.
And, secondly, it doesn't contain any information about India.
I searched for restaurants, multiplexes, malls, etc, but it didn't have any 
information regarding any of them.
However,you can get better results if you try asking it to search the web for 
places in India.

So, those are my views.
I don't want to discourage you in any way, but, like you correctly said, the 4S 
is pretty expensive here, so I just thought I should let you know about my 
experience.

And, lastly, I would be extremely grateful if you would be kind enough to reply 
to my mail which I had sent to you a few days ago.

Cheers,
Rahul

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?

2012-05-08 Thread chris hallsworth
1. I can't speak for Siri myself, but here in the UK I know it can't 
help you locate businesses for example restaurants.
2. I believe the text dictation feature works for all except password 
text fields for obvious reasons.
3. The camera on the 4s is 8 megapixel compared to the 3gs which is only 
3. So performance will no doubt be a huge improvement. There is also a 
front facing camera which is useful for features like Facetime.

4. I can't comment on VoiceOver and Siri interacting together sorry.
5. Because of the dual core A5 processor in the 4s, I have no doubts 
that VoiceOver will be very responsive on the 4s compared to the 3gs.
6. Can't comment on the battery sorry. I have heard in the past that 
there were battery issues on some iPhone 4s.

Hope any or all of this helps.

Re: anyone use Keynote?

2012-05-08 Thread Esther
Hi Philippa, Chris, and Others,

I think the recommendation for presentations with Keynote is to export the 
presentation as a PDF file using the "Export…" option that can be selected from 
either the "File" menu or the "Share" menu on the Keynote menu bar, choose an 
output format of PDF, and then display the PDF output using the free app named 
"Skim". Skim has been described as "Preview on steroids".  It is similar to 
Preview, but has additional features.  One of these features is a "Presentation 
mode" for displaying presentation slides in PDF format created by applications 
such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Open Office, or TeX slide packages such as Beamer. 
 To enter presentation mode, use the shortcut Command-Option-P, or else go to 
the "View" menu to select this.  You can also set up your transition options 
with Command-Control-T.

Note that presentation mode correctly displays your slides, which the 
full-screen mode of Preview and Skim does not.  And you can read all content 
with VoiceOver using the PDF version of your presentation this way.  This 
subject was recently discussed on the Mac-access list, and you can read the 
posted discussions for the thread, "accessing power point presentation on the 
mac" at the Mail Archive web site for that list.  I'll point you to one of
the relevant posts:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg09136.html
Read down the thread using Control-N to access the next post. If you want to 
read up the thread use Control-P to access the previous post.  

Skim is a Sourceforge project, but to find it, and most other Mac programs, do 
a Google search for this software at the MacUpdate site by using 
Command-Option-F to move to the Google search bar in Safari, then type "skim 
macupdate" and press return.  The MacUpdate site provides standard format 
listings of software that includes a short description, basic information on 
the latest version and its release date, information on whether this is a paid 
or free app, and direct links to download the program and to visit the 
developer's site.  You can also read comments about the app, and suggestions 
for alternatives.  The MacUpdate page link for Skim is:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24590/skim

HTH. Cheers,

Esther

Re: Curious trash/deleted mail issue.

2012-05-08 Thread Caitlyn Furness
Yep, go to your gmail account on the web and delet all your messages by hand, 
screen by agonizing screen.  It's what I had to do, finally.

things in my mail world still aren't acting as they used to, but are more 
normal then before.

also, make sure you read that good article robert Carter sent awhile back-I dug 
through the archives for it, but it did help some as well as what I said above 
about actually going to the web part of google and doing the deletion by hand.  
If you have a lot of messages, things just might be stuck somehow.  I had a 
ton, so who knows?

mail problems, anyone?

2012-05-08 Thread Caitlyn Furness
Hi,
Is anyone else having problems with mail acting sluggish with gmail lately?

For instance, I use the vo j command to read my messages, and I use the new 
view  and lots of times lately, if there are several messages in a 
conversation, after I read the first message in the conversation, I hit delete 
and instead of going on to the next message as mail used to do, it just sits 
there.  If I use vo j to go back to the messages column, the count is one less 
message then before, but when I go back into the conversation, the message I 
just read is still there.

Anybody know what's going on?  This is frustrating!

thanks,
Caitlyn

iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?

2012-05-08 Thread Venkatesh Potluri
Hi listers.
I am currently using an iPhone 3Gs. I am considering to get a new 4S.
I have a few questions. I am sorry for a long email. the 4S is an
expensive purchase so I wish to be very sure before I decide.


1. I watched many videos of siri. from that, I learn it is really good
in speech recognition. well, since you will be using it daily, what do
you think about it's recognition capabilities? How good is it at
texting? I also saw a couple of posts in this list about vo and siri
not working properly together. Does it really prove to be
inconvenient?
2. text dictation.
I read that there is an option to say the text we wish to type in an
edit field on pressing a microphone button on the keyboard. Is this
only in the messages app or works in any edit field (even in 3rd party
apps like Facebook and whatsapp messenger)? and, how is the accuracy
of the recognition?
3. Looktel apps on 3GS vs 4S
I am planning to purchase the money reader and the recognizer in the
near future. Is there a significant performance difference in terms of
recognition time and accuracy?
4. VO and battery in 3Gs vs 4S
since updating to iOs5, VO lags quite often. It responds late when I
move my finger on the touch keyboard and by the time I remove my
finger, it enters a different character from what I actually intended
to enter. Does this happen in the 4S too? and how is the battery life
of the phone after the 5.1 update?
Your suggestions would be of great value and will help me in making
the right choice.
Thank you for reading this long list of questions.
Regards
Venkatesh

Hi,
I have made a hot spot and set it to monitor the activity taking place. This 
seems to be working. Only question I have is how do I stop the monitoring if I 
want too? Do I have to remove the hot spot?

Re: anyone use Keynote?

2012-05-08 Thread Chris Blouch
Are you sure you have it turned on in the Presenter's Display? Showing 
them in the view menu doesn't mean they will be shown when you are 
presenting. Turn this on by going to Preferences (command-comma) and 
then find Presenter Display in the toolbar. Select that and then 
navigate to the list of checkboxes. In there should be a "Notes" 
checkbox which needs to be checked to show your presenter's notes in the 
presenter's display.

Re: Getting live regions on a web page to automatically speak?

2012-05-08 Thread Chris Blouch
I went to reproduce the issue and ran into another one. For some reason 
I can't get aria-atomic="false" working in Safari with Voiceover. I have 
a container on a page like this:




and I stuff random numbers in there once every three seconds with a 
javascript method like this:


function update(){
var r,f,d=document;
//Create a 5 digit random number
r=(""+Math.random()).substr(2,5);
//Create a span with the new entry and append it to the list
f=d.createElement("span");
f.innerHTML=r+"";
//Add it to the chat log
d.getElementById("box1").appendChild(f)
//Do it again in a little while
setTimeout("update()",3000);
}

What I expected was that as each number was injected into box1 the live 
region stuff would cause VO to read it. What actually happened was that 
all the numbers were read. This would be the equivalent of setting 
aria-atome="true" but it's supposed to default to "false". Event setting 
atomic="false" had no effect. Running this same demo on Jaws on Firefox 
on Windows 7 works just fine as does NVDA. So is seems like there is 
some kind of basic VO live-region weirdness.

Re: Sysdiagnose Folder Keeps Opening Spontaneously In Finder

2012-05-08 Thread Chris Blouch
Never heard of this before. Apparently there is a sysdiagnose command in 
terminal which dumps a pile of system information into a set of files 
with the idea that you could send it to Apple to help resolve some 
issue. So this doesn't sound like something normally used, not to 
mention something that should just be auto-launching. By default the 
output is stored in the hidden folder "var" in a sub folder called "tmp" 
with a name that looks something like this:


sysdiagnose_May.08.2012_10-00-06.tar.gz

Ahhh, here's a possibility:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3310720?start=0&tstart=0

Apparently sysdiagnose can be triggered by the key combination of

control-option-command-shift-period

Any possibility you typed something like this?

Correction: Re: Sysdiagnose File Keeps Being Highlighted Spontaneously In Finder

2012-05-08 Thread Teresa Cochran
I should make a correction. It's a temp folder that opens, and various files 
with the name sysdiagnose (that is, for those not spelling it out, 
s-y-s-d-i-ay-g-n-o-s-e) along with a date.

Thanks,
Teresa

Hi, Ricardo,

I haven't done anything yet, because I've had no bright ideas. Or other ideas, 
for that matter. :)
