Re: raising audio in iMovie
thanks for that suggestion; i was frustrated because i had finally edited a test video to get rid of the voiceover at the end but then couldn't get the volume to cooperate. thanks, max On Jun 6, 2012, at 8:13 PM, Blinkin wrote: Greetings, That is probably a good place to start. Make sure to be close to the mic as well. I think in the recording options there is a way to make it just pick your voice up and not the voice over. If not then just plug in some headphones when you record so there is no voice over for it to pick up at all.

Re: SPSS for Mac?
Hi, Spss especially version 19 on Windows did not work at all until IBM released a hotfix. It seems that version 20 works fine out of the box on Windows as long as you follow the guide to copy one file to get the java access bridge to work. Of course you need to know that there are special instructions to get the access bridge to work. I am looking into the Mac version now, and will report back when I have it installed. From what IBM says Voiceover is supposed to work out of the box, since there are no access bridge needed to get java to work on the Mac.

Re: Launch Pad
What I meant was that if you want to review the list of Apps then you need to interact to cursor up and down. At least that is what I have to do on my Lion setup .

Re: interacting was question for all voice over trainers: trouble interacting with items
I think sometimes we get hung up on the word interaction. I have entered this thread late but actually with screen readers on \Windows systems we often have to interact. It is not called interaction so we do not recognise it as such. For example in a Windows save as dialogue you have to tab to get to container panes where it is possible to navigate folder structures. This is interaction by another name. On web pages even with Jaws or NVDA it is often necessary to interact with an edit box before you can type into it. This is done with the enter key or space but it still interaction.

VO getting stuck on certain webpages?
Hi all, Over the weekend I picked up a MacBook Pro, thanks in large part to the words of wisdom and advice coming from this listserv. A big thanks to everyone for just being here to help us Mac-Noobs when we're trying to figure everything out. And now for an insanely frustrating problem I'm encountering. Not sure how many (if any) of you guys are in Canada, but the CNIB has a digital library which I use regularly for reading the newspaper, and so far I've only experienced this problem on their website - not sure if the website would have anything to do with this. I've been trying to learn and use VO to get a feel for how it works and sounds, and when I went to use it to read the paper this morning, after I got to a certain section of the site - right where you choose what newspaper and everything after that I've tried - I can't get the VO cursor off of the toolbar. It will tell me I'm on the toolbar, I can try to move to the html content, but when I try to interact with the html content and/or navigate into the html content I get bounced back onto the toolbar. I also can't seem to get it out of full screen mode, so I only have about six elements (back, forward, address, google search, and downloads). I've tried everything I could think of that might be causing the problem, like playing with the web rotor, restarting VO, checking the settings, restarting Safari, but it seems that nothing has worked. Has this or anything like this happened to anyone? Is it something I'm doing or not doing (correctly or incorrectly)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Renaming Files
I think this is where the Duplicate file command comes in. Unfortunately, they don't have a hot key assigned to this yet but you can get there from the File submenu. When you choose that option, you should be prompted for a new file name. As a side note, I heard a lengthy conversation about Save as and duplicate on a podcast the other day. I think a lot of people miss the Save as function in Lion but instead the file is automatically saved and updated and you have to revert to get back to older versions of that file. As I understand it, this duplicate function will copy your file that you're presently editing and allow you to rename the duplicated file. I heard in this same podcast that Mountain Lion will offer a hot key (Shift-Command-S and you will be automatically placed in the title area where you can change the file name.

Yes, I use the duplicate function to make copies of data sheets for different students/classes. This works well for the purpose. Although, you have to get used to not editing the original file. I suppose you could lock the file. Then, whenever you tried to edit it, you would be prompted to duplicate it or unlock it. I'll have to try this one myself. -Greg On Jun 7, 2012, at 10:15 AM, Steve Holmes wrote: I think this is where the Duplicate file command comes in.

Re: Renaming Files
I wasn't sure if you could automatically rename the file right after duplicating or not; haven't used this feature much yet. I think this concept is harder to get used to when we had it the other way on other platforms for so long. You might also try dup/renaming the file in finder first and then go into the editor of your choice on the newly named file. That would protect the original file for sure.

Re: Renaming Files
Hi, What you describe of a template file, is supported. You should find a stationary check box in the get info field. Stationary, lets you open up a template document and will force you to save it under a new name without altering the original. I do not run Lion, but I am fairly certain this is supported still. Please check it out and give it a try. --Scott Yes, I use the duplicate function to make copies of data sheets for different students/classes. This works well for the purpose.

Get Info dialog is saying things the wrong way round with Voiceover on Mac OSX Lion version 7.4 how to fix it?
Hi all, running Lion V7.4 I have noticed Voiceover is saying stuff the wrong way round. For example. If I command I on my Macintosh HD, and go to the latest version it will say it in the following way. 10.7.4 Version. Previously when I brought my Mac, the correct way it would say it is, Version, 10.7.4 So as you can see unless its the new way of doing things in the Get info dialog box that came out in this update, Voiceover is saying it the wrong way round. This also applys when looking at a song in iTunes. Has anyone else incounted this issue and if you fixed it what did you do?

Re: Renaming Files
Hi Les, I have the same issue with as a trainer required to generate reports and invoices to account for every hour with every client. I started out by opening the form, filling it out, pressing command shift S and using the save as dialog to rename the form to a new name containing the invoice or report number and the client's name. The problem I ran into was that Occasionally I'd forget and press command S, saving my new invoice overtop of my blank form and forcing me to generate a new blank form. I'm not really a dope, smile. I just hate paperwork like the dickins and would fill out several at a time on autopilot instead of doing them as I went. After pooching 10 or 20 forms this way I finally got fed up and started a new system. I go into finder. When I hit on my invoice form I do a command C and a command v just like that, slap slap. That forces finder to paste a new copy of the form slightly renamed right beside the original. I then arrow to the copy, rename it with the invoice number and name, then fill out the form.

Re: Get Info dialog is saying things the wrong way round with Voiceover on Mac OSX Lion version 7.4 how to fix it?
Sure, example, the way it is saying it now is: Rockschool Artist use to be Artist Rockschool. Another example is the year of the track. Use to be Year 2001 now it says 2001 year. So its reading the tags the wrong way round. This is happening for me in any get info command I do it on. In iTunes on Macintosh HD any app etc. Hope this makes sense.

Re: instead of downloading a file, Safari is opening it and showing the code
I had a similar problem earlier this month with the PDF files I downloaded from Best Buy.

MBA keeps locking up/VoiceOVer static
Hi Everybody, I am using one of the newest generation models of the MacBook Air, and have been encountering a rather worrisome problem. The Air has begun to constantly overheat and lock up, necessitating a system restart each time. In addition, VoiceOVer will sometimes become highly distorted, such that it creates ear-splitting, screeching static. THis has been happening even when I have been running only one or two applications, such as Safari, and the Air is almost brand-new. Has anyone here experienced such issues, and know of any potential solutions. i'm thinking this may warrant a trip to the Apple Store, but thought I'd ask in the meantime. THanks in advance!

Re: VO getting stuck on certain webpages?
Hi Daniel, I think that more or less solved the problem. I've at least got a way to move into the page where I want to read and/or work and can then start moving around again. One thing I noticed with this fix at least this time was that when I first tabbed into the page I had to use tab and enter to interact with the links I wanted - the VO commands didn't want to kick in. Going forward a page and then back seemed to fix that problem. Weird. Ah, the fun of playing with new computers and OS's. Much thanks for your help! Will On 07/06/2012, Daniel McGee danielmcgee...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi Will, have you tried the tab key? Sometimes, I have had times where VO doesn't automatically interact with the document so I have to go to the HTML content area interact with it and its working again. Or like I said I use the tab key to just get me into the area and then use VO navigation keys that are needed whatever I'm doing. To get this tab key working go into safari preps with command comma, go to the toolbar go to the last tab which is called advanced, make sure you interact with the toolbar 1st though select the advance tab stop interacting. Finally, VO right to you hear, press tab to highlight each item on a webpage. If this is not already checked then check it with VO space bar. Then close the window with command W. This will then save the change you made. Try your problem again and see if it resolves it. Just so you know though that what I have suggested is more of a suggestion than a fix. It works for me and I hope it does for you!

A big thanks to everyone for just being here to help us Mac-Noobs when we're trying to figure everything out. And now for an insanely frustrating problem I'm encountering. Not sure how many (if any) of you guys are in Canada, but the CNIB has a digital library which I use regularly for reading the newspaper, and so far I've only experienced this problem on their website - not sure if the website would have anything to do with this. I've been trying to learn and use VO to get a feel for how it works and sounds, and when I went to use it to read the paper this morning, after I got to a certain section of the site - right where you choose what newspaper and everything after that I've tried - I can't get the VO cursor off of the toolbar. It will tell me I'm on the toolbar, I can try to move to the html content, but when I try to interact with the html content and/or navigate into the html content I get bounced back onto the toolbar. I also can't seem to get it out of full screen mode, so I only have about six elements (back, forward, address, google search, and downloads). I've tried everything I could think of that might be causing the problem, like playing with the web rotor, restarting VO, checking the settings, restarting Safari, but it seems that nothing has worked. Has this or anything like this happened to anyone? Is it something I'm doing or not doing (correctly or incorrectly)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Syncing Google contacts
Hi All, I just set up an MS Exchange account on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5, with the intent to sync my Google contacts with those on my iPHone. I enabled both calendar and contacts in my account settings, yet when I checked my Exchange contacts group, I noticed that only some of my contacts had appeared to sync. I checked this again after restarting my phone and nothing changed. Is there a reason why some of my contacts might sync, but not others. Is it possible that some of my contacts may be flagged differently within Google itself, preventing them from being synced? In particular, some of my newer contacts do not appear to have made it to my iPHone. My iphone is set up with iCloud, and I also have two Macs, both of which are set up to sync with iCloud and Google. I know that syncing configurations can be a bit complicated to explain, so please feel free to ask for clarification. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Re: Syncing Google contacts
Hmm, on second thought, feel free to disregard this last message. I just opened my contacts again and all of my Google contacts have flooded in, so problem solved. Sorry about the list clutter!

Re: Renaming Files
Hi Eric. That's the way I do it, too for the same reason. It's a little extra step, but it saves you from figuring out what awful thing happened and then having to try and get another version back.

RE: Renaming Files
Hello everyone. You can save a clean form as a template and stamp new ones out all day long. I do this in Numbers and I see no reason why this wouldn't work in pages as well, you just save the form as a template and create new ones based on the template.

finding other sources for GarageBand loops and importing them into GarageBand
Hello Everyone, Been playing with GarageBand over the past few months, and have been enjoying it quite a bit. I am interested in obtaining more loops/samples for GarageBand. Recently I tried a program that had lots of loops in it, but the application was not VoiceOver accessible. Any help with accessible apps, or info on obtaining loops and samples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

How to make a word a URL
Hey all, So I have a blog and learned how to format a word and assign a URL to it so people can click the word instead of having an entire URL there. Well I tried to put a link to my YouTube and Twitter accounts and for some reason when I click on those links it puts my website and the website I am trying to link to in the URL together. I checked when I formatted these and I know I just put the Twitter and YOuTube links but my blog is automatically inserting it's URL first. Any ideas on how to fix this?
