Only the PC Kindle Software is accessible and   for that you will have to 
download the version with the accessibility plugin.
This works fine in a Fusion Windows virtual  machine on the Mac though.

Re: Kindle app

2012-10-09 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi.

I got sighted assistance to sign in to the mac version. But correct you can not 
read your books in the mac version as a blind user.

As I understand it, you can not download the accessible version if you are 
living in europe. I am from Denmark, and I can not download it.

Best regards Annie.

iTunes questions: custom metadata, and multiple genres?

2012-10-09 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I'm now modifying all those songs in my library that are unknown, and I have 
two questions.
1. Can I add a custom metadata field? In addition to album, artist, and all 
that, I'd like to add a key field so I can see what key a song is in.
2. Can I assign multiple genres to a track? If so, how? VO reports the genre 
field as a combo box, something I've never encountered on osx before.
Thanks, and I'm really enjoying iTunes, as much as I hate to admit that. I 
still don'w like it much for iOS management, but for music it's really proving 
quite nice, especially with the remote app.


Have a great day,

Re: iTunes questions: custom metadata, and multiple genres?

2012-10-09 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

I don't believe that there is facility for Custom fields within the tagging 
mechanism of iTunes.  If you wish to put items into multiple Genres, I'd put 
your secondary Genre into the Grouping field.  The combo box for Genre works in 
two ways, you can choose from the list of Genres provided or enter one 
yourself.  While on the Genre item, just enter whatever you wish to name it, it 
will now become one of the choices within the combo box.  I usually just enter 
the first few letters of whatever Genre in there anyway and iTunes finishes my 
typing for me.

Gestures on iMac?

2012-10-09 Thread Marc Rocheleau
Hey all,

Excuse the ignorance, but I'm looking to get an iMac in the near
future. I was under the impression that the track pad gave you the
ability to perform gestures or navigate as if you were using an actual
mouse -- not unlike the iPhone, for example.

Last month however, I had someone come and give a demonstration with a
MacBook. She admittedly preferred jaws but said that you couldn't do
gestures like on the iPhone (which is something that disappointed
her.)

I'm just looking for some clarification as far as what I can do with
the track pad on the iMac so I know what to expect. I know iMacs
aren't bound solely by keyboard shortcuts but what function does the
trackpad serve and what are its potential limits?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Re: Playing Flash Movies

2012-10-09 Thread Mike Arrigo
This is correct, if it starts playing automatically it's fine, but the 
flash controls and content will not read. Adobe has made it clear they 
have no interest in fixing this on the mac. One thing you can do in the 
case of youtube, go to http://youtube.com/html5
Click the option to join the html5 trial. Once that is done, many of 
the videos will play using html 5 instead of flash and this will make 
the controls accessible. Eventually flash will totally be phased out in 
favor of html 5 but this may take a while.

Original message:
Thanks, that does sound like a good tip. I'll try it. Hopefully it wont 
block plugins I actually use.


So, am I right to conclude that apart from flash players that are 
controlled by HTML controls and players that load automatically like 
youtube, flash movies are completely inaccessible for VoiceOver users 
on the Mac?



Cheers,
Nic

In that window you can add or get rid of any fields you wish to show in your

Re: Gestures on iMac?

2012-10-09 Thread Alex Hall
Provided you get a Magic Trackpad, you can. For instance, you can rotor, flick, 
use the two-finger reading gestures, or move around to explore the screen. Not 
all gestures match up, and screen exploration is based on what vo is 
interacting with at the time, but my brief exploration of the feature seemed to 
indicate that it does work well. You can also set up a trackpad commander, so 
you can hold a key and perform a gesture to activate a custom function.

Re: Gestures on iMac?

2012-10-09 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
Mark,

I would suggest that the demonstrator doesn't know what they are doing, well at 
least properly.

The Magic Track Pad, as Apple refer to it for the iMac…

I use this on a day to day bases with my iMac, the commands mirror up to a 
large extent in line with the iOS commands.

You can turn on and turn off Track Pad Commander, which allows for you to use 
iOS like gestures when it is on, and mouse like movements when it is off.

You can have Voice Over follow the mouse, or the mouse follow Voice Over, or 
Voice Over and the mouse to have nothing to do with one and other. Then like 
with JAWS, for example, you can route one to the other if you need to perform a 
task.

The way I personally do it most of the time is to have the mouse follow Voice 
Over, this I am pretty sure is the default. Doing it this way you can always 
know that the mouse is where the Voice Over cursor is. Then you can choose, do 
you wish to use iOS gestures to navigate or mouse like movements.

Just adjust the Track Pad Commander control and away you go.

There are a few additional things you need to know, these will make sense if 
you already use a Mac, but, essentially revolve around interacting with on 
screen elements. Let me know if you'd like to know more.

Re: Gestures on iMac?

2012-10-09 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

I'm guessing that she was simply not totally familiar with the use of VO and 
the Mac.  As long as the MacBook was released within the last three years or 
so, then the gestures will work.  She may have simply had the Trackpad 
commander turned off.  It is turned on by holding down the VO keys and doing a 
two-finger rotate clockwise or going into the VO Utility, to the Commanders

As mentioned, there are many additional commands that can be added in the 
Trackpad Commander and they are not all exactly the same as on the iPhone but 
they must be enabled first in order to work.

 Hey all,
 
 Excuse the ignorance, but I'm looking to get an iMac in the near
 future. I was under the impression that the track pad gave you the
 ability to perform gestures or navigate as if you were using an actual
 mouse -- not unlike the iPhone, for example.
 
 Last month however, I had someone come and give a demonstration with a
 MacBook. She admittedly preferred jaws but said that you couldn't do
 gestures like on the iPhone (which is something that disappointed
 her.)
 
 I'm just looking for some clarification as far as what I can do with
 the track pad on the iMac so I know what to expect. I know iMacs
 aren't bound solely by keyboard shortcuts but what function does the
 trackpad serve and what are its potential limits?
 
 Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

sorting tags in iTunes?

2012-10-09 Thread Alex Hall
Hi again all,
I looked at the view options and checked a couple sort items. I now have 
these items in my view, and I can start dragging them with vo-comma. The 
problem is that, even if I drop one column over, vo says the marked item is no 
longer in view. How, then, do I sort fields in iTunes views?


Have a great day,

Re: Question About Building A Website

Hey guys,

I have been trying to find a solution to edit my websites that work
with Voiceover. Does anyone know with Rapid Weaver if the icons are
accessible as I am not familiar with writing code or html. When I
could still see a little I was able to update my sites by editing in a
template, but have yet to find something that works on the mac with
VO. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Is Rapid Weaver for
people who don't know code? Can you use it with a site that has
already been designed, or do you have to start from scratch? Thanks

Re: my CF card reader won't show up on the desktop

2012-10-09 Thread Mike Arrigo
Do you have the memory card in the reader? If not, it definitely won't 
show on the desktop since the finder does not show blank drives, I 
would think it would still show in disk utility though. Have you tried 
another port? If that doesn't work you might try another computer. If 
that doesn't work, you may have a bad card reader.

vo saying one message conversation in mail?

2012-10-09 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
Thanks for the advice on setting up my friend's mail on his new iMac, it all 
works as expected, except one thing. Some on this list reported an odd issue 
where vo would put single messages into conversations (or mail would anyway). I 
never had this problem so did not follow the thread, but now the iMac is doing 
it and I don't know why. What setting should I change to stop this? I've 
already gotten rid of the preview pane, so this is the final obstacle to a 
smooth mail experience for this new user. Thanks.


Have a great day,

Re: remote disk accessible?

2012-10-09 Thread Esther
Hi Alex,

I'm pretty sure that you can't use remote disc sharing on a Windows
machine if haven't installed additional software to enable this, even
if the drive is visible from your Mac. Did you read the Apple
Documentation?  Here's the link to the knowledge base article:
• DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
There are also links to Instructions for DVD or CD Sharing and Remote
Disc on that web page.

I think the software download can be found from the Apple knowledge
base support web site:
• DVD or CD Sharing Update 1.0 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL112
That web page also has a link to the MacBook Air User's Guide where
you can read up on remote DVD and CD sharing.  I've never tried
sharing CD/DVD resources with a Windows machine, but from past memory
of doing network sharing you have to set things up.

HTH.

Cheers,

Esther

  I saw not button of any kind. Without this button, I cannot get thediskto

Open with duplicate solution

2012-10-09 Thread Emilio Hernandez
Hello everyone,

Several days ago I posted a question that others were also experiencing.
This dealt with viewing duplicate application options when interacting with the 
context menu.
After performing a general google search, I found that external drives may be 
the cause to this problem.
After disconnecting my external drive and rebooting my computer, the problem 
seems to have disappeared.
However, my question is upon initial start-up my external partitioned  drive is 
seen by my machine, but I eject this because it is not needed in most cases. 
Thus, if upon ejecting the drive should not the duplicate application options 
likewise not appear because the external drive is not longer being viewed by my 
iMac?

Thanks for any feedback or suggestions guys.

P.S. Found an accessible freeware audio conversion program iSonics, which can 
be downloaded at: iSonic audio converter
The caveat is for batch conversion, each file needs to be added separately to 
the project. Have rapidly converted WMA files within literally minutes.

Re: remote disk accessible?

2012-10-09 Thread Esther
Hi Alex,

You don't need to install additional software if you want to share a
CD or DVD drive from another Mac, but you do need to enable the DVD or
CD Sharing under System Preferences  Sharing from the Service List.
Did you read the documentation?  It may also depend on what operating
system you have loaded on your Mac Mini, because you have to grant
permission for the machine with the CD or DVD drive you want to use to
share its resources.  I don't know whether there are restrictions on
older hardware, but I think you can even share drives on machines
running Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4 -- the first version of the OS with
VoiceOver built in) provided you have the latest version and install
an additional software update.  And I think there are some different
instructions if you're using the DVD for remote software installation
with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) or earlier.

I've never used a Mac Mini, so my only advice is to read the
instructions in the links or other Apple documentation that are
appropriate to you machine.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Kindle app

2012-10-09 Thread Adrienne Sinclair Chalmers
Actually it's worse than it just won't work, Voiceover has been deliberately 
disabled by order of those nice folk at Amazon. Their reason seems to be that 
Voiceover is free and so sighted people might use it to get their books read 
out to them. Sounds like a load of spurious drivel to me. I wish there was some 
way to stop this sort of discriminatory behaviour.

Re: USB card reader not showing up anywhere

2012-10-09 Thread John Panarese
If you can afford to delete the info from the card, I'd try reformatting it 
anyway just as an experiment with one of the cards.  It definitely could be the 
reader itself, but I would try to make sure it's that before you throw away the 
bath water with the baby.

You should make sure that the files put in dropbox on the computer have 
completely uploaded to the server. Depending on the file size, this could 
take some time. You said you are on windows 7 so checking the system tray 
area will give you this info. Just locate the dropbox icon and it will say 
uploading x number of files if it is still uploading or you will get all

 Hi Alex,
 
 You don't need to install additional software if you want to share a
 CD or DVD drive from another Mac, but you do need to enable the DVD or
 CD Sharing under System Preferences  Sharing from the Service List.
 Did you read the documentation?  It may also depend on what operating
 system you have loaded on your Mac Mini, because you have to grant
 permission for the machine with the CD or DVD drive you want to use to
 share its resources.  I don't know whether there are restrictions on
 older hardware, but I think you can even share drives on machines
 running Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4 -- the first version of the OS with
 VoiceOver built in) provided you have the latest version and install
 an additional software update.  And I think there are some different
 instructions if you're using the DVD for remote software installation
 with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) or earlier.
 
 I've never used a Mac Mini, so my only advice is to read the
 instructions in the links or other Apple documentation that are
 appropriate to you machine.

Re: USB card reader not showing up anywhere

2012-10-09 Thread Mike Arrigo
Do you have any kind of firewall or other background utilities running? What 
about security or antivirus software?

Re: Kindle app

Cheree Heppe here:

The way to stop the discriminatory behavior is with some old-fashioned letter 
writing, blogging, senator contacting and maybe, demonstrating.

That is one of the most ridiculous and insane things I have ever heard. It's 
bad enough that Amazon does not make this app accessible, but, if they are 
indeed preventing voiceover users from reading the content, that is disgraceful 
to put it nicely.

Need an accessible html editor ...

2012-10-09 Thread Jessica Carter
 Hi Nene,
i think Smultron would work for writing text emails. At any rate, it seems like 
it would.  I have not tried this yet, so I cannot give you a definite yes on 
that one.
Just curious, what program are you currently using for email?

Playing Flash Movies [3 Updates]

2012-10-09 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Thanks guys.

I went to the HTML5 youtube site and it told me I was already automatically 
signed up for the HTML5 trial, and only gave me the option to unsubscribe. 
However, I still can't see any play/pause controls for youtube videos.

Does the click-to-plugin alert you when there is flash content on a page even 
while it blocks it?
