Re: Setting up iTunes
I would choose to import and eject the CD. That way you can just insert the CD, let it import, eject, then all done without user intervention. This is in the general part of preferences.

Re: Setting up mac mini?
Hi, If you purchase the unit from Apple with the Bluetooth keyboard/mouse, then it comes automatically paired. At least that's the experience I've had with various iMacs I've purchased for our School District. Thanks.

I started out with a bluetooth keyboard and then I ran into the chicken or egg question. How do you pair the keyboard without speech and how do you start VO without a paired keyboard? So I went back to the Apple store the next day and bought a full sized USB keyboard and got through it. What happens for anyone not using VO is the dialog comes up saying that a keyboard is missing; you then get the opportunity to pair it and of course, a sighted person can just read the numbers and enter. We need VO to do that. Anyway, once VO is running, pairing the bluetooth keyboard is a sinch.

recipe manager: Pepperplate
Hi all, I found a recipe manager for iOS and the mac. It's called Pepperplate, and it's free. No, there's no mac app (use the website) but there is a mostly accessible iOS app which is also free. Best of all, the app syncs with the site, so I can add things on the site with my full keyboard and they download to the app. I have not tested going the other way, but I imagine it works the same way. The service also offers menu planners, timers, and shopping lists, but I haven't tried those yet - I just wanted a robust system for syncing recipes between my devices, and this seems to have done it. The site is www.pepperplate.com. Please note, though, that there's a trick when signing up. The usual I have read and agree to the terms and conditions is there, but they use an image in place of a checkbox. You have to route the cursor (vo-cmd-f5) to that image, then click (vo-shift-space) to check it before you can continue. Also, I got little to no feedback while entering my password, but it did get entered just fine, so don't worry if you hear no clicks. Anyway, we were talking about recipe syncing from the computer to iOS, and this service seems to do the trick. Yes, there are some accessibility problems, but once I have used the site and app for a while I will be writing to the company to offer accessibility improvements they could make. I have posted this on applevis.com, so comments should possibly be placed there to reach a wider community. Also, editing recipes on iOS seems inaccessible, so use the website to make changes for now.

Re: MacMini
Hi listers, I have a 2011 mini and tried it without a monitor for some time. It worked but had the same finder busy problems and other problems discussed in this thread. Also, without a monitor you must remember each time the computer starts to press command F 5 because VO will not start automatically. I have heard of some folks not having the mini issues but they were running the server addition of OS 10 on a Mini server. If you were going to do that you might as well just purchase a imac or a monitor for the standard mini. Now that I have a inexpensive monitor my Mini works great. I usually don't even have the monitor turned on.

Re: Windows eight and fusion anybody?
You can pre-order, even if Fusion won't work. After all, nothing says you have to install as soon as you get your dvd or download link. If it is a download, make sure to grab it and save it, but then you can just wait until Fusion supports Windows 8. Note that I have no plans to upgrade, so I could be wrong about this, but I've never heard of an offer that expires if you don't install in a certain amount of time. Once you own the software, you own the software. Again, grab the file if you are given a download link, just to be on the safe side.

Re: Optimum VMWare settings

question about a web site with Safari
Hi guys. I'm not sure if I need to contact the web site host or what here, so I thought I would run it past you guys first to see if I'm doing something wrong or if I need another command I'm not using or don't know or something. I have several files that I would like to download from the Braille Authority of North America web site. I figure I'm going to need to study UEB, just great. Just what I need, another useless project for me. Anyway, every time I go to the web site to download informational files, the link gets activated it Safari opens the file, but I want to download the file and not open it in Safari. I used to inWindows use the Application key which most of the time downloaded the file. Did they set up the web site wrong and I need to contact them or what other command can I use so that I can save the files and send them to my braille display as a brf file. The other thing is that Safari won't let me save the file as a brf file. I changed the name and changed the extension, but unfortunately, I can't get a good brf file this way.

mail showing inaccurate unread message count?
Hi all, Something odd in mail. Vo is reporting a large number of unread messages, 10-12 more than are actually there, yet it reports the proper total message count. I have restarted, I have quite and re-opened mail, and I'm streaming a radio station so my internet is okay. Has anyone seen this before? It's not a huge deal, but I did notice when I closed and re-opened mail that messages I deleted had come back, as though mail had not properly synced with gMail. Might this be a gMail problem?

Re: Windows eight and fusion anybody?

Re: question about a web site with Safari
Hi Alex. This is really weird, but I tried it twice just to make sure I had followed what you said. I got it to work, but here is how. First, I did what you said (the first time I left off the shift key.)) I got the menu, but it said about saving frames. I saved one anyway to Downloads. However, that file just saved out the links, etc. , no text of the .brf file. When I called up the file I just saved, the link then didn't ask about frames. It then asked about what you said, about downloading files. When it saved out the file this time. it was saved with a .brf.txt extension. It took off the .txt part, and it works fine in TextEdit now. I forgot to say that I saved the first file I mentioned when it talked about frames in downloads so I should be able, even if I have to change the extensions to save the other files. I've never seen this happen before, and I don' know if it would do the same in Windows or not. I may have to let them know there is a problem. If anybody out there has Windows, could you test it for me and let me know if this is just a Safari thing or if maybe I could change how this web site is showing like emulating Internet Explorer maybe.

Re: MacMini
You can find my detailed explanations in the archives but it seems that the mini, at least a while ago, would perpetually scan for a monitor if none was connected causing sluggish performance and other odd behavior. Why this is is anyone's guess and maybe the latest models have fixed it but that would be a recent change. My solution at the time was to get a mini to VGA cable and hook that to a cheap VGA to NTSC/PAL converter. In the early days just having a Mini to NTSC cable plugged in was sufficient to trick the mini into thinking there was a monitor connected but that stopped working some years ago. The newer ones started reading the VGA sense pins and would have similar bad behavior if nothing came back (no monitor). So the VGA to NTSC converter did the trick. The sense pin business is really just a couple resistors jumped across a couple pins. There used to be vendors who sold VGA 'terminators' that did this to simulate a monitor for devices that couldn't stand not being hooked up to one. My attempts to find a place that still sold those came up empty every time. Lots of places listed them but when you went to order them they were permanently out of stock. So the VGA to NTSC/PAL box became an overgrown VGA terminator. Maybe this contraption is no longer needed, but if not it should still do the trick. I think the original thread from March 2010 might be here: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg18524.html and some earlier discussion about it from October 2009 here: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg12086.html So this has been going on a long time :) CB On 10/25/12 5:52 AM, Joanne Chua wrote: Hi All Thanks very much for the input.

Re: question about a web site with Safari
You might be right.Now I am not so sure if it was Function Return or Option return. Function Return is the Enter key on the iMacks laptop style keyboard. And on the Mac Return and Enter are not necessarily the same from what I understand. So I apologize if I got the modifier key mixed up, I would try both just to be thorough.

This works when you hit a link to aMP3 file and it will download the mp3 instead of opening and playing it. Also when this happens you get no confirmation thats it has downloaded it, you just have to look in your download folder. So it is worth a try.Try going to the link and instead of hitting return or VO Space, Sincerely, Donovan Osborn donovan303...@gmail.com On Oct 26, 2012, at 8:55 PM, Eugenia Firth gigifi...@me.com wrote: Hi Alex. This is really weird, but I tried it twice just to make sure I had followed what you said. I got it to work, but here is how. First, I did what you said (the first time I left off the shift key.)) I got the menu, but it said about saving frames. I saved one anyway to Downloads. However, that file just saved out the links, etc. , no text of the .brf file. When I called up the file I just saved, the link then didn't ask about frames. It then asked about what you said, about downloading files. When it saved out the file this time. it was saved with a .brf.txt extension. It took off the .txt part, and it works fine in TextEdit now. I forgot to say that I saved the first file I mentioned when it talked about frames in downloads so I should be able, even if I have to change the extensions to save the other files. I've never seen this happen before, and I don' know if it would do the same in Windows or not. I may have to let them know there is a problem. If anybody out there has Windows, could you test it for me and let me know if this is just a Safari thing or if maybe I could change how this web site is showing like emulating Internet Explorer maybe.

Move to it in whatever way you want, then bring up the context menu with vo-shift-m and choose download file. Let us know if that does not work.

I'm not sure if I need to contact the web site host or what here, so I thought I would run it past you guys first to see if I'm doing something wrong or if I need another command I'm not using or don't know or something. I have several files that I would like to download from the Braille Authority of North America web site. I figure I'm going to need to study UEB, just great. Just what I need, another useless project for me. Anyway, every time I go to the web site to download informational files, the link gets activated it Safari opens the file, but I want to download the file and not open it in Safari. I used to inWindows use the Application key which most of the time downloaded the file. Did they set up the web site wrong and I need to contact them or what other command can I use so that I can save the files and send them to my braille display as a brf file. The other thing is that Safari won't let me save the file as a brf file. I changed the name and changed the extension, but unfortunately, I can't get a good brf file this way.
