Re: Boot Camp and 10.8.2
Harry, I'm pretty sure you'll have to actually install windows during the bootcamp process. Having it as a VMWare machine won't work for you there. I went through the whole bootcamp thing yesterday and it worked great. Now, I'm thinking of going the VMWare route. Can you tell me if it is easy to install windows via VMWare without sighted assistance? Is VO up and talking through the process? - Original Message - From: Harry Hogue harryhog...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2012 1:31 AM Subject: Re: Boot Camp and 10.8.2 Hi, that's good to know that it doesn't cost money.

Re: Boot Camp and 10.8.2
Did you have sighted assistance while going through the boot camp thingie yesterday? My guess is that you got to a point in the windows installation where it came time to do the actual install of windows and you needed sighted help because no windows audio drivers were loaded yet. Is that pretty much right? I ain't done it myself, but, many have. I believe it to be completely possible because of the way it works. Voice Over won't guide you through the process; but, still, it can be done. My advice, however, is not to listen to me but to others who have actually done it.

RE: Boot Camp and 10.8.2
If you already have Windows installed via bootcamp, you can then install VM Fussion and just point to the boot camp partition as your virtual machine. You don't have to reinstall Windows. Unfortunately this does not work the other way around. You can not use a virtual machine that has already been set up on a boot camp partition.

Re: So What Are the New Features In Mail?
Hello Teresa, From my point of view, Mail in ML is inferior to what it was. RSS has disappeared and when you reply to a message, it doesn't automatically send from the address that received the original message unless that message is in the In box. Otherwise, it sends from the default e-mail address.

Re: Boot Camp and 10.8.2
hello phil, when I did it was pretty straight forward, but there is a detail to watch out. if you install it and use quick install, which is what I did, there will be a loint when you will press the finish button. This does to mean your windows is installed, so if you take the cd out right there you're messed up and will need to start it all again. after you press the finish button, ask a sighted person to peer at your screen to tell you when it is actually done. the only thing they will actually do though is install your first screen reader on windows. as far os installing vmware will do it all. thanks mauricio On Oct 6, 2012, at 10:32 AM, Phil Halton philh...@gmail.com wrote: Harry, I'm pretty sure you'll have to actually install windows during the bootcamp process.

Ray, Yes, I had sighted assistance. I found a fairly tech competent person who had a few hours to kill and it took us 2 hours from start to finish. That's from the time I started bootcamp assistant, through the actual windows7 install, the install of apple support drivers, and finally installing jaws12. There's just no way around the need for sighted assistance in my opinion, but hey, sighted people aren't so bad ;-) - Original Message - From: Ray Foret Jr To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2012 10:47 AM Subject: Re: Boot Camp and 10.8.2 Did you have sighted assistance while going through the boot camp thingie yesterday? My guess is that you got to a point in the windows installation where it came time to do the actual install of windows and you needed sighted help because no windows audio drivers were loaded yet. Is that pretty much right? I ain't done it myself, but, many have. I believe it to be completely possible because of the way it works. Voice Over won't guide you through the process; but, still, it can be done. My advice, however, is not to listen to me but to others who have actually done it.

very odd thing in mail
Hi all, I was again working with a friend on his mac, and we started to tackle mail. Since his wife uses the computer more often, they set him up a smart mailbox to capture all his messages, but mail is primarily under her account. I suggested making him his own account on the mac, so that we can set up mail to work normally, remove the favorites bar in safari, let him add only his own favorites, and all that. Now, the oddity. In my own mail, I hear something like this as I move through my inbox: unread button, sender name, subject, timestamp However, in my friend's smart mailbox, vo read things much more like a table: blank, blank, blank, unread, sender name, subject, timestamp and, if you interacted with the table, you could vo-left/right through these items, something I can't do in my own mail program. Is this strange behavior normal and my mail program is the oddity, or is it something to do with the smart mailbox? Once I get his mail set up in a fresh account on the mac, will it behave like that smart mailbox or like my own? I'd rather it be like mine, as I found his setup far too verbose and confusing (things read differently depending on if he interacted or not, and he's still new to the mac, so I'd rather not have to deal with details like that). Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Re: PDFpen for iPhone is inaccessible
Hi there guys I got my sided husband to download PDFpen so that he could test it. Well, he's got a nice piece of software on his iPhone it's going to work just fine. Unfortunately, PDFpen is using double tap to get into the document to be chosen for editing. VoiceOver won't let us do it no matter what we do. The other thing is, you can't choose the fields to be edited with voiceover. It makes that sound that it makes for graphics, and I thought it was, until my husband pointed out that no it wasn't. So, I have no idea why you can't select data fields. And I'm truly disgusted we can't do it. Well, I guess we can write those guys again.

Re: newbie tip: vo-u in webpages
HI Alex Just to add to your explanation of the web rotar: if you set single key navigation to on, you don't even have to press vo-u. You can just press h for heading, and be immediately in the heading part of the rotar where you can repeat the h to move by headings, or use down arrow if you prefer. L is for links, b for buttons etc. I always use single key navigation that way and never the vo-u method now and it's really excellent. Sometimes I will press h and then flick up and down on my track pad by headings which I have just set using the h. You probably knew about this already but just in case you didn't I thought you might like to play with it. Lisette On 3/10/2012, at 3:36 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I'm back for another in my unintentional Newbie Tips series, where I explain something I just found that I wish I'd known months ago. This time it's the web rotor, available in any html content item. When vo is focused in one of these, press vo-u to bring up the web rotor. Left and right arrows will move you through the different items available (you can set which ones you see in the vo utility under web). Each time you left/right arrow to a category, vo tells you how many of that item are on the page. You then use up and down arrows to move through the list of that item. For instance, you might do a google search, then bring up the web rotor and arrow to headings. Use up and down arrows in the headings list to move through your search results. Pressing space or vo-space on any item will jump you to it, but will not open it, even if it is a link. So, if you are arrowing along and find a link in the rotor list, press space on it and vo will jump to it. You must vo-space again to actually open the link. This looks like a really neat tool and one I will certainly be using more now that I know about it.

As it does not have a recovery partition, and as the previous owner's iCloud downloaded the Lion update, I have no way to re-install Lion should I ever need to. I would make sure your mac has a recovery partition with ML already on it (as in no iCloud required), or throw in a thumb drive configured to act as a recovery drive. Google can give you more details, but you basically want to make sure the new owner has full access to a copy of ML so that your iCloud is not needed to re-download it. Other than that, do a clean install and you should be all set. On Oct 6, 2012, at 5:53 PM, Chris Bruinenberg cbrui...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all. I am in the process of selling my mac.

Discovered something in Safari
Hi guys. I just discovered something while downloading books from BARD. Maybe some of you guys knew about this, but I sure didn't. Maybe somebody else here didn't know either. I had a problem downloading three of my books while on BARD. I had to go ahead and quit Safari, erase the old zip files, find the books again, and start over. I've never had this happen before, but their computer must have been having a problem. I had gotten my sighted husband to check the download progress because ours truly hadn't figured out how. He left the room, and I decided to try something. After pressing option command l and getting the list, I then got desperate and interacted with the title of one of them. And lo, when I pressed VO right arrow, there was the progress indicator. I ended up fixing my problem, so all's well. I also have just discovered, at least in Bard, that the return key is working instead of control option space on those links. This is definitely better than what has been happening with that command lately. Did it get changed or something?

Re: newbie tip: vo-u in webpages
Thanks. I did know about that and I use it a lot, but it requires quicknav, which I tend to avoid when possible. Also, sometimes quicknav keys fump you out of the page, particularly form fields when they jump you to the location/search box. The vo-u command is more concise, faster to navigate, and will not move you to some other part of the screen. Of course, I do use single-key navigation a good deal, but the above annoyances have made me use the dedicated rotor keystroke more and more, especially on google. On Oct 6, 2012, at 7:41 PM, Lisette Wesseling lisettewessel...@gmail.com wrote: HI Alex Just to add to your explanation of the web rotar: if you set single key navigation to on, you don't even have to press vo-u. You can just press h for heading, and be immediately in the heading part of the rotar where you can repeat the h to move by headings, or use down arrow if you prefer. L is for links, b for buttons etc. I always use single key navigation that way and never the vo-u method now and it's really excellent. Sometimes I will press h and then flick up and down on my track pad by headings which I have just set using the h. You probably knew about this already but just in case you didn't I thought you might like to play with it. Lisette On 3/10/2012, at 3:36 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I'm back for another in my unintentional Newbie Tips series, where I explain something I just found that I wish I'd known months ago. This time it's the web rotor, available in any html content item. When vo is focused in one of these, press vo-u to bring up the web rotor. Left and right arrows will move you through the different items available (you can set which ones you see in the vo utility under web). Each time you left/right arrow to a category, vo tells you how many of that item are on the page. You then use up and down arrows to move through the list of that item. For instance, you might do a google search, then bring up the web rotor and arrow to headings. Use up and down arrows in the headings list to move through your search results. Pressing space or vo-space on any item will jump you to it, but will not open it, even if it is a link. So, if you are arrowing along and find a link in the rotor list, press space on it and vo will jump to it. You must vo-space again to actually open the link. This looks like a really neat tool and one I will certainly be using more now that I know about it. As always, if I have made any errors, please correct me so we don't have bad information getting spread around.

Yes, that new cmd-option=l keystroke is really handy, I just wish the items were in a table instead of each item being a group that requires even more interaction.

Re: Discovered something in Safari
Right, that's what I mean. Instead of each row being a group with which you must again interact, I wish it would just be a proper table, with file name in the first column, download status in the second, and so on, so you need only interact with the table to start exploring. Right now, you interact with the table, find the item you want, interact again, then move left or right until you find the information. Putting downloads into a table, and not these groups, just seems a more efficient way of doing things, from a vo perspective anyway.

I just discovered something while downloading books from BARD. Maybe some of you guys knew about this, but I sure didn't. Maybe somebody else here didn't know either. I had a problem downloading three of my books while on BARD. I had to go ahead and quit Safari, erase the old zip files, find the books again, and start over. I've never had this happen before, but their computer must have been having a problem. I had gotten my sighted husband to check the download progress because ours truly hadn't figured out how. He left the room, and I decided to try something. After pressing option command l and getting the list, I then got desperate and interacted with the title of one of them. And lo, when I pressed VO right arrow, there was the progress indicator. I ended up fixing my problem, so all's well. I also have just discovered, at least in Bard, that the return key is working instead of control option space on those links. This is definitely better than what has been happening with that command lately. Did it get changed or something?

Re: newbie tip: vo-u in webpages
Hi Lisette, Can you please explain how to set single key navigation to on? It might have done previously, but I am just new here, thank you.

Victor Reader Stream and vmware fusion
I hope this isn't too far offtopic but I saw posts on this topic from 2010 when I googled so I'm hoping maybe somebody has figured this out since then. i've had this problem with every Stream I've had - one for my daughter and two for me! i can connect my Stream just fine in Mac OS, but I cannot connect it in Windows Xp and now in Windows 7 in vmware fusion though they do connect on a Windows pc. Vmware recognizes the Stream by name and asks where I want to connect it but after I choose, it never actually connects as far as Windows is concerned. I rarely really need to connect the Stream directly, only if I had a new Stream and had to activate it in Audible or maybe if I ever wanted to use Humanware Companion. But it drives me crazy! I have other devices that connect in Windows with vmware but just not the Stream. It's one of the few reasons why I am considering doing bootcamp eventually though it's not the biggest reason. I called Humanware about this once and was just vaguely told that they had heard of it happening with some computer setups. Does anybody have any ideas about what to do about this? it isn't crucial most of the time, but I'd sure like to solve it. A tech person from Audible got on my computer when I was running vmware with xp and he couldn't figure it out either. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

stop current song and start new one in iTunes?
Hi all, I finally did it: I added all my music to my library. It looks quite useful right now, though there are over 100 songs that are in some way unknown, which will take me a long time to label. Anyway, question: when I play a song and then move through more items and fine a new one I want to play while the previous one is still playing, how can I do this? Space only pauses and plays the previous track, it won't start playing the new one. I see nothing in the controls menu for this. Do I have to manually search out the stop button? I'd rather not, as it is nowhere near my music list. Thanks.

Really, your best bet is to google it and read through some of the guides you will find for doing this.

Re: Victor Reader Stream and vmware fusion
I can certainly understand why you'd want to just connect your Victor Reader Stream, rather than removing the SD card and either putting it directly into a slot if available on the computer, or inserting the card into a card reader, but I've always just done this because I understood that the Victor is rather slow and other card readers are much faster. I wonder if that might change the situation for you.

Re: Victor Reader Stream and vmware fusion
Of course, I usually just use the sd card too. As i pointed out, though, you can't do that when initially activating a new Stream in audible.com and you can't do that with the Companion. Neither of these are things I do often but I would like to be able to do them when necessary.
