need help with something in Voice Over configuration
Oh, what a mess I'm in now. Last night, I had to do a major OS reinstall. My Time machine disk went out on me, so, I wound up formatting the Macintosh HD and did a clean install. I lost absolutely everything; and so, I've spent the night through trying to revive the disk, but, without success. I just had one question. How do I change Voice Over so that when I pass over headings, it doesn't say, heading level 1 and heading level 2 and so forth? Everything else, I think I can manage. Just have to manually download all my apps and recover all my keys. Thanks in advance.

a reminder wanted and an observation about what happened to my Mail account
Okay, I seem to remember there were instructions about how to turn off the preview pain in mail; but, forgot how. A reminder please? I'm using ML. Also, I noticed that, when I configured my e-mail account, Apple mail set up my ATT U-verse mail account as an Imap account. I thought that was strange because I thought that ATT U-verse does not support Imap accounts. Also, now I think of it, I just entered my e-mail address, and Mail set it up as a yahoo Imap account. Is that normal; or can I get back my old settings? Can't seem to find the junk mail folder or the trash folder, but, I know they are there; or seem to be. It doesn't look like the normal table of boxes I'm used to seeing.

a note on running a Mini with no monitor
It is interesting that a monitor without power previntes the mac system slowdown. This sounds as though the mac does a form of a ping to query from time to time what is attached. If it doesn't recieve a return signal instantly it does it again and/or waits for a determined time before allowing an application to resume activity. If this is the case, any return signal is not being generated by the monitor but the circuit is made at the socket and passes it back to the mac. It would then in principle be possible to find the wire pairs in the vga socket and make the return circuit absent a monitor.

Re: a note on running a Mini with no monitor
Hello Mike and all, As you suggested, Mike, I opened up system information.app and my Mac Mini shows that it has a monitor connected. It's the same monitor that was connected before I tried running without one. I am totally at a loss. Today when I rebooted the system it ran even poorer than it did yesterday. Even with just finder running, it is slow and the speech can't say a single sentence without breaking up.

Re: finding mp3 imports in iTunes
Hi Phil and Others, You can always find items that you add to iTunes, even with no tag information, by selecting the Recenly Added smart playlist in the sources list. Then use VO-J or else navigate with your arrow keys to the list of tracks, which will appear in the chronological order they were added to iTunes. Use VO-J again to jump back to the smart playlist in the sources list. The Recently Added smart playlist contains all tracks added to iTunes in the last two weeks that are not flagged as podcasts. You can modify the criteria in the rules section to change this (e.g. to make this tracks added in the last day, or over a specific date range) by using the context menu (VO-Shift-M) when focused on this smart playlist to choose the option to edit the smart playlist. Alternatively, you can create your own smart playlist based on date added and any tag information you may have. You can also identify the untagged tracks by pressing space bar to play/pause tracks in your smart playlist, then arrow down to the next and use space bar to play/pause the next track. Then you can select a bunch of these tracks by holding down your shift key while you arrow down through the group you want, and do a Command-I (get info) to edit the tag fields for album and artist.

It seems to default to showing images of the pages instead of text like the i phone, which gives you the choice.. anyone know how to fix this? I've looked around and can't seem to find anything obvious.. Thanks a bunch if you can help, if not I'll just use this app on my phone.

Re: finding mp3 imports in iTunes
If they were imported they would be harder to find without an artist and album. If you arrange your library according to the date added the most recently added files will be either at the bottom or the top in your music library. You do this by getting on the date added column and doing vokeys-c to make sure you are on the right column and then doing vo-shift-backslash if you want to order by that column. You may just be able to look down the column to find the right date without rearranging anything. If you don't have a date added in the music browser, do cmd-j for the viewing options and check the date added box and then press ok or just press return. If you aren't in the music browser view, you change this by doing vokeys-m and going over to the view column and changing to this; there might be a quicker way to change to that view but I can't think of it right now. Before I figured this out, I had quite a few entries in my library I didn't know about since the album and artist were blank.

Re: vo randomly restarts in safari
There are a couple difficulties with the secret repair approach: 1. It enables developers to continue with bad habits which they will apply to more and more pages over time. At some point they need to learn to stop doing bad things. Often time the bad behavior also conflicts with web standards and best practices so sloppy code will break other things down the road (canary in the coal mine scenarios). The show up as weird intermittent hard to track down issues which burn up developer time 'fixing accessibility'. 2. The automated repair techniques can also get it wrong, making correct page code do bad things, or do the repair incorrectly in some situations. This makes some bugs hard to track down since a chunk of bad code in one situation works ok but fails in the other leaving the developer scratching their heads and just saying the screen readers are buggy, inconsistent and therefore accessibility is just to much work. 3. It's a black hole for screen reader developer time. I'm sure the Jaws, NVDA or VoiceOver developers can pretty quickly define how much implementation time it will take to parse correct HTML and give a reasonable text representation, but how many use cases and scenarios are there to implement for handling all the incorrect HTML?

Google problems again
Well Google did it again. Not sure how anyone in the world can say google cares about accessibility and the fact that there is a Google Access Twitter account is absolutely laughable. They changed how Google search results come up, and go figure you used to be able to click on search tools as a lot of time I need to search for results in the last week, now I can't seem to find that anywhere. Just a bunch of inaccessible pop down boxes and stuff when you click on it it does nothing. How anyone in the world can think Google is a progressive thinking company when it comes to accessibility blows my mind. And someone of you are excited for the google self driving car? Seriously you are going to trust a company to put you behind the wheel that can't seem to ever made one positive step forward with their search engine or google apps. Seriously it is laughable. Anyway, had to vent a little, but if anyone has figure out how to do a search for the last week or 24 hours, please do let me know -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: finding mp3 imports in iTunes
Hi Cheryl, Been there, done that grin. Sometimes I want to find imported items in iTunes that were not recently added, but which may have problematic tagging, and I find it easiest to use the Recently Added smart playlist but just edit it to temporarily change the date added in the rules section from 2 weeks to 4 weeks, or 2 months, etc. That's why I added the comments about moving to the Recently Added smart playlist in the sources list, bringing up the context menu with VO-Shift-M, and selecting Edit smart playlist in the menu. You only need to arrow over to the rules section and interact, then navigate to the first rule that is Date added in the last 2 weeks. You can just type a different number in the text box to make this 4 weeks, or you can VO-space on the pop up button for weeks and change this to months or days. Or you can do any combination of the above and then press the OK button (or just press the return key) to have your new rules take effect. There's another way to make finding untagged tracks easier, and that's to use the column browser in combination with your Recently Added smart playlist to find entries that you need to tag. While focused on the Recently Added smart playlist in the sources list, navigate to the iTunes menu bar to the View menu (VO-M or Control-F2 to the menu bar, then press v), arrow down, press c to move to the Column browser then right arrow to the submenu and arrow down to any entries you want displayed in the column browser, such as Artists or Albums. (You'll have to navigate to this sub-menu each time you want to check or uncheck any of the selections.) I have the options for Artists, Albums, and Genres checked, along with view mode on top, which used to be the default setup in iTunes before version 8, but this is entirely optional. Now, when I select the Recently Added smart playlist I can also toggle the column browser between show and hide modes with Command-B. The column browser adds a set of columns for my checked selections of Artists and Albums that appears before the tracks in the songs table. If I navigate to Albums and select Unknown Album, then only the tracks in my Recently Added smart playlist that don't have album tags will show up in the songs table, and I can select any of them for tagging. If I only added one album, I can select all (with Command-A) and then do a Command-I (get info) to edit their tag fields. HTH.

Re: Memory upgrade
Do you know which model/year they are. I haven't done an upgrade to mine but I think newer (Mid 2010 or later) models you just turn the base to open it up and snap in bigger modules. Before that it was careful work with a putty knife to pry open the case and not crack it. If it's a newer model you might try it yourself or maybe the folks at the genius bar could even do it. Which memory depends on which model as well which effects the cost. So if you had a mid-year 2010 mini it takes PC-8500 DDR3 RAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4223 8GB of RAM (the max for this model) from Other World Computing is about $50: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_Mac_mini/DDR3 CB On 11/21/12 1:15 PM, Kristeen Hughes wrote: I have two Mac minis and both of them need a memory upgrade desperately.

Actually, the blame should be placed on Apple for not supporting all of the HTML elements correctly in VoiceOver. FYI, the search tools link is not far above the results heading. That brings up several options, one of them being the time option you're looking for. You then need to find the text that says any time. Press VO-Command-F5 to route the mouse to it and click. That should expand it and let you choose the time you need. I hate saying this, but I have no problems with Firefox and NVDA on Windows. All the element attributes are reported correctly. The any time text shows as clickable. I press enter and away I go. The web browsing experience on the Mac still has a little way to go.

Re: Mactubes
No, I can't confirm that because I am downloading using MacTubes right this minute as I have been doing since I got this app. I do my search, start my song playing, then do vokeys-shift-m on the player menu and arrow down to download and choose my option; usually hd and mp4 are available.

Re: Google problems again
indeed, plus, it took me three times reading your e-mail to understand what your problem was amongst the useless criticism which didn't even allowed me to understand what your issue with google was for a while.

Re: Google problems again
This is why I use Startpage www.startpage.com results are organized into headings and there is nothing inaccessible. Best of all at least with Firefox you can install the search engine and make it your default all from within the site.
