Scott MacIntyre's book
Hi all, I realize that this question probably does not strictly follow the guidelines of the list, but I think it's worth giving a try as some of you might be able to help me. So, I wish to read the book called By Faith, not By sight, the autobiography of Scott MacIntyre, who has accomplished many great feats, like being the first visually impaired American Idol finalist. I wish to read the book on my Mac in any format which is accessible with VoiceOver. So, please let me know if you are aware of any website from where I can purchase the book in an accessible format. Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Rahul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: iCloud account question
Yes u can each have your own iCloud accounts If you have created separate apple IDs for iMessages then just sign in to iCloud with those credentials.

Re: voiceover isn't working anymore on my macbook air (part 2) help pls!
Hello Joseph, Thx for the information, I didn't know that this was the place of the prefferences of voiceover. And idd, i can do what you suggest but, 2 remarks about this: Since this seems a bug for me , I woulud like to see any errors/warnings about the loading of my userprofile. Where could I find this information? And also, Is it possible to delete the prefferences of user william with administrator rights while I am logged in as guest? Or , can I simply enter the user William and the corresponding password to do this? Or, I could do it from the recovery partition with the terminal? kind regards and thx for the remarks William Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad Op 12-aug.-2012 om 01:15 heeft Joseph Norton joseph.nor...@gmail.com het volgende geschreven: Just a thought, and, sorry if someone has already mentioned it before, but, if you look in your user account's Library/Preferences folder, (from what I can tell, it would be /Users/william/Library/Preferences), you can find the VoiceOver configuration files. The file names start with com.apple.VoiceOver. If you delete those files and start VoiceOver anew, that might fix the problem. It will get rid of your speech settings and voiceover preferences, but, since VO isn't working for you right now, that may not be a problem. Just keep that in mind.

Re: Verifying disk before Mountain Lion upgrade or clean install
Because certain repairs or verifications can't be done when you are actually within the start up disk. I don't understand the full programming details. On 12 Aug 2012, at 02:06, Christina C. wrote: Thanks for sharing this info. Why does it have to be done in the recovery partition instead of through Lion in disk utilities? Thanks Sent from Christina's iMac :) On Jul 29, 2012, at 10:23 PM, Andrew Lamanche wrote: Dear Listers, Since the news of Mountain Lion - I still run Lion - I've been reading a lot about how to make sure I install it as well as possible. Jo Kissell in his Take Control of upgrading to Mountain Lion strongly recommends verifying one's disk for possible errors because if an error is present, this might cause problems during and after the installation. At first I was a bit reluctant to do this because my macbook air is relatively new (end of 2010), and has a solid drive, and I thought, oh no, it is surely fine. But today I actually did perform the verification, and an error was found on my drive and repaired. I therefore thought I'd share the steps I took to accomplish this in view of the fact that questions have been asked on the list with regard to the installation and people have been reporting weird behaviour of Mountain Lion. 1. Start your mac from the recovery partition of your Lion OS. This is accomplished by pressing and holding for a few seconds command+r key combination immediately after the startup chime is heard. It took a few minutes for my macbook air to boot up so do not worry. Remember, Voiceover will not start automatically when booting from recovery partition or any other media. 2. Start Voiceover with command+f5 (add fn key if the former doesn't work). Now this is a bit tricky because if you are on your own without any sight, you don't quite know when the booting process has finished. I kept trying to start Voiceover a few times unsuccessfully because the booting process was still going on. Actually, my macbook air while booting was quite hot so the fan was going, and when the booting was accomplished, the fan stopped too and I was able to activate Voiceover immediately. 3. You will now find yourself on a list applications which are arranged in a table. Interact with the table, and you will see 4 applications here (if I remember correctly). Restore from time machine, reinstall OS, erase or repair disk, and disk utility. Press the button which says disk utility. 4. The disk utility will look exactly like the disk utility application window you are familiar with. Arrow right past the toolbar and interact with the table of available disks. Place Voiceover on your mackintosh hd and stop interacting with the table. Move right to the list of available tabs. Choose first aid' which is usually already highlighted. Move further to the right and choose repair disk permissions (which you might just as well do to start with to be sure). Permissions will be repaired (you can watch results in the table of results which Voiceover announces clearly as you move around the window. After permissions repair, choose verify disk, and again you can see the results in the table. At the very bottom of the table once the process is complete, you will be told whether any problems have been found and if the repair was successful. 5. Quit disk utility and restart your computer as normal. Hope this will help. Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

IPod Touch for sale for unbeatable price
HI I realize it's a bit old, but I have an IPod Touch 3GS 32 gig model which I am absolutely just aching! to either sell or trade. I will trade for any Android tablet *I, said, tablet, not? phone!* which is running at least Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwitch. Also am willing to trade for an IPad 1st or second generation, preferably 2nd, although will take what I can get. i'm not pushy. If you rather would just buy it, I am asking $250.00. That is a savings seeing that it was $360 when I bought it in Christmas of 2009. Nothing is wrong with it, in fact, it's hardly even been used. I got the thing thinking I'd use it back in the days, and don't get me wrong, I did to a small degree, but at the time, I couldn't seem to get the hang of it. Now, I'm a happy IPhone 4S user, and wouldn't turn back to Windows Mobile with Code Craptory Mobile Speak if you shot me dead! I have the original Apple Ear buds, the original Apple USB data cable, and even a electrical wall charger which I am willing to throw in free of charge. For an additional $10, I'll even be willing to jailbreak the thing for you ahead of time if you'd like me to. Currently, it is not jailbroken, and won't be upon receipt, unless you specifically request it and pay the extra $10, and that's just a maintanence fee for the time it will take me to get all the tools etc. together to do it. Again, this device is in excellent condition, not a single thing what so ever is wrong with it. I just never really used it. Would like to get rid of it as quickly as possible. If interested, you can write me off list at: chris28...@me.com Thanks tremendously. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: IPod Touch for sale for unbeatable price
This is a plain crazy price in my opinion. You can get the latest model for $272, also 32GB. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-touch-32GB-Generation/dp/B001FA1O18 Price starts at $117 for a used 3rd generation, and that is through Amazon.

Help with Selecting Text in Safari
Hey all, Trying to copy some text in safari and have run in to some issues, not sure what I am doing wrong, and it is probably a setting, so wanted to see if anyone knew. It is weird as at first this was working, but it doesn't seem like the cursor is following VO and I have checked my settings in F8 and have toggled them all on and off, but nothing changed. When I go down in to the middle of a paragraph and wanted to select a certain line, the cursor doesn't seem to follow voiceover and seems to be selecting a few lines earlier. Here is what I am doing. I first interact with the text, then read it word by word with VO right arrow. I get to the insertion point where I want to start selecting text, and click Command shift right arrow, but it starts selecting text somewhere else on the page, not sure what I am doing wrong here, or if I have a setting set incorrectly. I have tried this selecting text with Quick Nav on and off, and even tried using the trackpad to select text, but again it was selecting the wrong area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help with Selecting Text in Safari
Well, forget about my last post and this selecting and copying working so well. Yet another bug in ML, and yes, I will report it to Apple. Selecting the text on a web page works fine the first time, but if you want to select another part of the text from the same,Voiceover will not regain its focus or insertion point, as it still wants to start selecting text from the first place you selected the text. The only work around I found for this was to toggle VO off and on, which of course than takes you back to the start of the document, than you get to find the area you want to select and copy again, and VO will allow you to select the new area.

I get to the insertion point where I want to start selecting text, and click Command shift right arrow, but it starts selecting text somewhere else on the page, not sure what I am doing wrong here, or if I have a setting set incorrectly.

Re: iCloud account question
Hmmm, we did not use separate apple ID's. We just had our e-mail addresses's verified through our main iTunes account because those e-mails are used for iMessage and FaceTime. I don't know if we can log in with those since we did not actually create a new apple ID with a password and such. I'm really confused about this iCloud thing. I want to use iCloud for a few apps that will sync across a couple of my computers. My kids are using mavis beacon to type and I just learned it will sync their progress via iCloud and I like that idea so that we can be more flexible. Thanks!

Re: Help with Selecting Text in Safari
Hi, Actually, my comment had nothing to do with a criticism of Apple. it was your social comment, Here is another example of how a blind person has no shot at being as productive of our sighted peers. That comment doesn't really sound like it has anything to do with Apple specifically does it? And I certainly don't think my comment was a personal attack. Personal? yes. Of course it was personal, I'm talking to you specifically after all. haha. That was definitely no attack though. When you post your opinions, and people disagree, it doesn't always mean they are attacking you. Maybe your views, but not you. I don't know, when you make a comment like that, is it suppose to warm our hearts. lol. And, I don't know what adding that comment does to fix your problem either. I say is pessimism, you say its realism. I guess we will just agree to disagree. But, I disagree because, if you look at access to technology blind people had just 10 years ago compared to now, I think we have become way more productive. As much as our sighted piers? Probably not. But I believe the gap has close a bit. Now, If someone respond to this post saying, optimistic much? They would be within there rights to do so. And I wouldn't feel offended by it either. JMO.

Re: Help with Selecting Text in Safari
Hi Kawal, I think assuming someone disagrees with a persons views because they think they are better are smarter is pretty far out there. I'm sure if you were on a jaws list, windows list, etc, you would find similar opposition to comments criticizing the subject matter the list was meant to cover. Even fair, accurate criticism. for example, the main subject of this thread, the selection of text in Safari. The original poster made a valid point, and shined light on a bug. That is not what I questioned. And I honestly can't recall attacking anyone on this list. If there is something I don't like, or a bug I've found, I'll post about that just as quickly probably more so than, a feature I like and that works perfectly. But if I disagree with a personal opinion someone posts by their own free will, I don't see why I should just keep my thoughts to myself and hit my delete key. For me at least, its not a question of thinking I'm smarter. Its me disagreeing and making my opinion known, just like the poster I replied to made their feelings known. I think if someone doesn't want there opinion challenged, they shouldn't post opinions. Just stick to facts and they wouldn't have such issues on forums like this. Thanks.

Re: Spotlight keyboard shortcut in Mountain Lion

Re: Help with Selecting Text in Safari
Hey guys, healthy disagreement here. And yes, Ricardo I do agree with you that technology has come a very very long way in ten years, and I think Apple is one of the companies at the fore front of this. I was just adding that every time I have posted something on this list that goes against the norm, someone comes at me saying I must be a Windows user, or pessimistic, or something else. I post here oftenly since I have discovered the list, and am grateful to all those who have been very helpful. I additionally try and help people out as much as I can when I have an answer to their question. The point I was making for example, if someone writes how much they absolutely love the great new way to select text in safari, I wouldn't start calling them crazy or that they are oblivious or must work for Apple, so why when I post opinion that criticizes something I get blasted.

Three running applications?
Hi everyone! When I'm sitting on my desktop, in the finder and I type VO-F1, it used to say two applications running. Then I'd go into the application chooser and the finder would be there. Well, now suddenly I have it saying three applications running. I'm wondering what in the world that third application could be or how I could find out. As far as I know, I haven't changed anything. I did go into my user account and look at the log in tab to see what was checked. The only thing checked in there is iTunes helper. I think this has always been the case. I'm really puzzled.

Re: Nisus Writer
Hi Rod, According to the developer's site description, the Express version does not have support for features such as Table of Contents, Indexing, Cross References, Bookmarks, Track Changes, Comments, Watermarks, Export to ePub, and Export to .docx (though it can import .docx format Office documents). You can download a 15-day trial version of Nisus Writer Express, too, and make your own comparisons. As for buying options, it can be more convenient to purchase from the Mac App Store, if you have more than one machine, since you can download and install to your account on any other Mac, and you can easily check for updates. On the other hand, the web site offers options such as the ability to buy an upgrade to Nisus Writer Pro at a later time, without having to buy and pay for an entire new app. It also offers an academic discounted price of $39 for the Pro version (without upgrade eligibility) for students and teachers at educational facilities (generally requiring you to supply a valid academic email address and possibly supplying them with a scan of your ID card if you don't have a valid email ending in .edu, .uni, .ac, etc. You'll have to weigh the options, and check whether any of the above might factor into your decision.

Saving Files in TextEdit

Re: Easiest Way to Read Bookshare Books in Mountain Lion
I don't know whether this is only true of the newest additions to bookshare (over the last year or so) but lately when I download bookshare books, no unzipping is required. I just seek out the title and the .xml extension, and it opens in Safari when I hit enter. Is no one else experiencing this? Harry, I know in your case, you are dealing with previously downloaded books which you desire to open. A workaround, if you simply cannot get the unarchiver to work, is to redownload the book you wish to read from your book history. Hopefully, what I discussed above will then apply, and you will have your xml file all ready to go. Obviously, depending on the number of books you have, this may not be desirable as far as redownloading all of your book history, but you could do it one by one, as needed.

Re: Question about pages latest update on Mac and Time machine backups
Can't answer your question about Pages but as for TimeMachine nothing should change. It should just perk along like no change. After all, the file formats didn't change and your data files like documents and music should continue to be available like always. I would think however, that system files like library components and other app related stuff might not be relevant anymore. Humm, I wonder if there is a way to sort of clean out old dead wood from prior backups. Since backups are incremental in nature, that might be a real challenge though.

Re: Easiest Way to Read Bookshare Books in Mountain Lion
Or you might use terminal to batch rename all the files to .zip.

Re: update for speakable items less enthused but working on it
Hi Iona and others, I'm so glad you posted this update about speakable items randomly turning off. I had a play with it today and other then it randomly stopping for no apparent reason I was pretty happy with what it was doing for me. I thought I was doing something wrong but I also have to turn it off and on again to get it to work. If others find ways to keep it on and listening for the key word I'd love to know. holding down a key seems to defeat the purpose for me. If I'm going to have my hand on the keyboard I might as well just navigate that way.

Re: Saving Files in TextEdit
This is one of two things that drive me crazy using Text Edit in Mountain Lion. Frankly, I'm going to look at a different text editor. I don't have any intention of saving my documents in icloud and since I can't change that default, it's now a royal pain in the you know what. I also don't like this new wizard or whatever it's called that appears when you open text edit.

Removing the Preview Pane in Classic layout: • Navigate to the Horizontal Splitter that is to the right of the Messages table. • Press VO-cmd-f5 (add FN if needed). This will bring the mouse to the VO cursor and announce where the mouse is and it should read Horizontal Splitter. • Double-click on your Trackpad or alternatively, you can press near the top of the Trackpad and drag to the bottom. Make sure in this case that you actually make the Trackpad button depress so that the drag action will work. 2. Removing the Preview Pane for non-Classic layout: • Navigate to the Vertical Splitter just to the right of the Messages Column Group. • Press VO-cmd-f5 (add FN if necessary) to bring the mouse to the VO cursor. It will announce Vertical Splitter if it did what it was supposed to do. • Double-click on the Trackpad or alternatively, put your finger near the left hand side of the Trackpad, then drag to the far right and release. As in the first case, make sure that you depress the Trackpad button so that the dragging process will occur. Note that in the Classic layout, you are dealing with a Horizontal Splitter and in the non-Classic layout, you are dealing with a Vertical Splitter. Each case requires a different dragging direction if you choose that option. There are a couple of ways of determining if it worked. Firstly, you can navigate around the Mail screen and if you don't hear anything about Message Content Area, life is good. The second method is a little more complicated but tells you for sure. In Classic layout, navigate to the Horizontal Splitter to the right of the New Mailbox Action menu. You'll notice two Horizontal splitters, one after the Messages Table and this one that I'm talking about. Once you've located this Horizontal Splitter, Interact with it and press VO-down. Vo will announce Collapsed which is what you want to hear. In non-Classic layout, navigate to the Vertical Splitter just to the right of the Messages Column Group and Interact with it. Press VO-right and VO will announce Collapsed if the Preview pane is gone. HTH. Later...
