backing up files from my Mac to dvds
It has been quite a while since i did backups to dvd of a lot of my media files and also various document files so I have decided to do a complete new set. In the past I have kept the text and document files separate from the media files and have figured out which files can fit for each dvd and then I have run the burn. None of these files are in iTunes. I want to know if there is either a way on the Mac or an accessible program I can get to automate this process as far as filling up dvds. In other words, I'd like to be able to pick out the folders and files I want to burn and then I'd like to be able to start the burn and have the first dvd fill up and then be told to insert another dvd to continue instead of having to figure out the logistics of each dvd myself. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Twitter
I don't know much about accessibility on the mac except to say in Mountain Lion it is possible to add one or more Twitter accounts and use the Notification Centre found in the Extras menu to post a tweet as well as receive notifications similar to what you would receive with the official Twitter app for iOs. Finally there is a very good, free and fully accessible Twitter client for the mac called Nightowl or Yorufukuru. The interface may remind you of The Qube or Qwitter for Windows.

Re: odd thing with voice over in mountain lion
Agreed, in previous versions of the operating system though, the number of running applications was correct. Not a big deal, I was just curious, I may look in to which application is doing this when I have time. It could be the notification center, that's one thing that was introduced in mountain lion. Even still, mountain lion is a great update. I'm so glad the safari busy issues are finally gone, that's an issue that was long over due to be fixed.

Re: Google problems again
Having been able to still see a little back in 2009 I used Zoomtext than on a PC, but my computer went out and I had to make the decision mac with voiceover or PC with Jaws. I went with the mac, so I never have used Jaws, that being said, I am not an expert on screen readers or accessibility, so you are correct if could be a safari issue not a google issue. Honestly, I could care less if it is Google or Apple and safari, I just want it to get better, or at least figure out a work around. I tried what was suggested, but couldn't seem to get google to change from all times to last 24 hours or last week, I ended up using Yahoo where I was able to filter my search options. I'm sure google is trembling at the thought of losing me. LOL On Nov 26, 10:02 pm, Brian Fischler blindga...@gmail.com wrote: 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.

Anybody here installed Windows on a Bootcamp without sighted assistance?
Hi all, Trying to install Win7 on a Bootcamp partition on my Mac Mini, however, understand that the sighted assistance may be required. I've gotten as far as partitioning the disk using the Bootcamp Assistant. My Mac restarted and then I am not sure what the sequence should be after this. I tried pressing ENTER a couple of times hoping this will accept Windows installation defaults but nothing of the sort took place. Unfortunately, I have to figure out how to install it on my own because I have no screen attached to this machine. Any clues? Thanks for any help.

Re: Anybody here installed Windows on a Bootcamp without sighted assistance?
Hi. Ah, okay, so you have a solution for selecting the proper partition once the windows seven installer launches? I'd be very interested to hear what that is as I've had no luck figuring that out yet and that includes trying to use an unattended install file with no success. Once partition selection is done and the ula is accepted, you can run narraotr to finish the setup process. That's all well and good, but, it baffles me that they would not make sure that the first one or two screens of the freaking installer were accessible with narrator... Thanks Microsoft. Cameron.

Re: Anybody here installed Windows on a Bootcamp without sighted assistance?
Oh, cool! I need to do this too, I think. I wonder if there's any way to enable this shader support thing a game with a blindness adaptation needs? It was a system requirement I wasn't aware of until I found out the hard way that this Macbook's video may not have it. - Original Message - From: Chris H christopher...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 3:28 PM Subject: Re: Anybody here installed Windows on a Bootcamp without sighted assistance? Hello all I plan to write up a guide soon on how to install Windows without sighted assistance via Bootcamp Assistance. I have it almost figured out but want to confirm for sure before writing the guide. Stay tuned! Chris.

I've gotten as far as partitioning the disk using the Bootcamp Assistant. My Mac restarted and then I am not sure what the sequence should be after this. I tried pressing ENTER a couple of times hoping this will accept Windows installation defaults but nothing of the sort took place. Unfortunately, I have to figure out how to install it on my own because I have no screen attached to this machine. Any clues? Thanks for any help.

Re: backing up files from my Mac to dvds
So if you have everything you want to burn in a folder, what happens if you pick that folder and then choose Burn To Disk from the file menu? It's been a long time since I used CDs or DVDs for backups but I vaguely recall that it would spread what you've got over multiple disks. Worth a shot. At worst you waste one piece of media finding out. If you're interested there are unixy ways to compress everything into one big file and then split it into chunks that fit whatever size media you are using. At some point though your time might be more valuable than the cost of media and you should just do time machine to some external storage. I found an external USB 500GB drive here for $50: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/836243-REG/Hitachi_0S03452_500GB_Touro_Mobile_USB.html That starts encroaching on the media cost of a few spindles of DVDs, not to mention avoiding a lot of hassle.

figured out the issue with voice over saying the wrong number of apps in mountain lion
If anyone is curious, I was able to figure this out. Even when I only had finder running, voiceover would still say there were 2 running apps. The notification center is considered an app, even though you cannot command tab to it, or select it from the dock. Since I never use this feature, I used an application called cocktail to disable it, now the number of running applications is spoken correctly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: figured out the issue with voice over saying the wrong number of apps in mountain lion
Mike, What is cocktail exactly? Also, how can I learn more about the processes on the Mac and what they do. I am curious about the comparisons between the PC processes, which I know like the back of my hand, and the Mac side of the coin, which is all still very new to me.

Re: backing up files from my Mac to dvds
Thanks much. Actually I'm doing Time Machine and superduper though I'm a little leery of Time Machine now because last time i wanted to restore it cranked away for a few hours and then announced it couldn't restore from that backup. But I'd also like some backups that are something other than external drives. I know iTunes will spread a playlist over multiple cds but I'm not so sure about what happens if you try this from finder. But you are right: I can find out for the price of one lone dvd. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
