flash player issues

2013-03-24 Thread Katie Zodrow
Hi, everyone. I tried going onto you tube today and yesterday with Safari. I 
tried playing a couple videos with flash player, but nothing happens. The 
videos never played. I was using the Mac I'm renting with OS 10.6 and also 
another Mac with Mountain Lion. Is anyone having problems playing videos with 
flash? This is very strange. The flash player seemed to work fine for me on 
Friday.

Re: Setup Screen.

2013-03-24 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

While holding down the VO keys, which are the Control and Option keys, press 
your right arrow key.  This should read whatever is within the VO cursor area.  
You primarily use the VO keys with left or right arrows to do basic navigation 
within any dialog or window.  You can also determine what windows or dialogs 
are open by using the Window Chooser which is activated by pressing VO-f2 twice 
quickly.  Simply arrow down the choices and press return on the window you wish 
to bring focus to.

HTH.

Re: Language Options and Questions..

2013-03-24 Thread Harry Hogue
Anita,

To change language options, go into System Preferences by pressing VO-M, 
VO-down arrow on Apple, and VO-down arrow until you hear "System Preferences."  
Once in System Preferences, tab over until you hear "Language and Text."  
Within this area, you can change the system language, which will change all of 
the prompts used by VoiceOver.  What language od you speak besides English?  
Just so you know, you can also download many foreign language voices for 
VoiceOver within VoieOver preferences (VO-F8).  I can give you suggestiosn for 
that if you need them, but changing your system langauge als oinstalls voices 
for the language selected.

Thanks,

Harry

That is, what does the entire dialog say.  It's difficult to tell you how to

Re: a slight but critical correcion on the no speech solution

Ray, what you suggest will check or uncheck the "mute speech" switch, assuming 
that the trouble is muted speech. What if the problem isn't muted speech? Then 
you've just created another problem because now the mute switch is set and the

Re: Garageband: find out BPM

I used to do it the old-fashioned way under windows, by using a metronome 
program to match the tempo of the song. Of course, you need a good, 
accessible metronome app or program. I suppose you could load the song into 
GarageBand, and then turn on the playback click, and then work the bpm field 
in the master track to match up with the actual song track. that oughta 
work.

Re: An app for the Mac for modifying id3 tags

2013-03-24 Thread Esther
Hi Victor,

You can try ID3 Editor by Pa-software, which can also be run from a
command line interface, as well as through the GUI, if you wish:
http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
ID3 Editor v1.18.18   £10.00 (GBP), €12.00 (Euro) or $15.00 (USD)

Also, a bit off topic, but since you've been using Audiobus on iOS to
interconnect the inputs and outputs of Audiobus-compatible apps like
Garageband, Thumbjam, iKaosillator, etc., have you also tried
AudioShare, which is also accessible and currently on sale for $1.99?
It is an Audiobus-compatible iOS application that acts as an audio
document manager for the various Audiobus compatible apps, and lets
you transfer audio files that you've created between those various
apps, including with Dropbox and SoundCloud.  Since posts about
Audiobus being on sale got zero response, you're probably one of the
few people who might be interested in this.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: changing subscribed email address?

2013-03-24 Thread Esther
Hi Scott,

This question, and related topics about managing list subscriptions
like going "no mail", seem to have come up a lot recently.  You can
make changes from the "Manage My Memberships" page for your Google
Groups accounts at:
http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs?hl=en_US&pli=1
You may be prompted to log in with your email address and password for
your Google Groups account before you can reach this page.  (Note that
the email address is the one that you used to create your Google
Groups account -- not your current email address, which may be
different.  Like the Apple ID, Google adopted a login username in the
form of an email address in order to ensure the login user name would
be unique.) If you want to switch to another email address that you
have already authorized to post from. you can set it up in the pop up
menu button for your subscription.  If, as is more likely, you want to
add a new email address, then you should link on that page for "My
Google account" to navigate to your "Account Overview" page.

If you want to read more detailed descriptions of the process, please
visit one of the previous posts at the Mail Archive web site for this
list, like:
• Managing List Subscriptions [was Re: To the Moderator of this list]
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg80072.html

The Mail Archive pages are an easy way to find answers to topics that
were previously discussed on list.  All you need to do is type search
terms into the search text box and press "return".  You can either
bookmark the web archive page for this list, or use TextEdit to
compose a short, 3-line web shortcut file with the URL of the Mail
Archive page for this list that you can place on your Desktop or in
the Dock, and that will open your browser at this page when you open
the file. (These files can be emailed as attachments, and will also
work on Windows machines.) There is a recent AppleVis podcast and
posting about how to create such web shortcut files, and my post in
the comments on how to create such files for the Mail Archive web
pages for this link.  Here's the shortened URL to the post and podcast
at AppleVis:

Re: HotSpots

2013-03-24 Thread Rachel Feinberg
Hi Stacey,

You can use Hot spots to jump to specific places in websites, once your 
cursor's there. Just set the hot spot, and from anywhere, you can press vo and 
the number of the spot you set, and it'll take you back to that place in the 
website, provided your browser is still loaded with the content.
You can also use them to jump you to specific applications. However, keyboard 
commanders are also great for this task.

I'm looking for a way to find out the BPM in an audio file.  I have some

with their BPM. So what would you recommend to find out the BPM of an audio 
file?

Thanks and all the best

Okay,

You need to open the voice over utility by pressing vo+F8.  Assuming your using 
a lap top or bluetooth keyboard and have function keys set to perform normal 
functions.  Now, press down arrow twice.  Now, Press VO+right three times.  
Now, VO+space.

Re: No Speech.

2013-03-24 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

No, it's not a repair issue.  Is it the regular sound effects or the VoiceOver 
sound effects that you're hearing?

If you're hearing the regular MacOS sound effects but no speech or VO sound 
effects, then I think that you may have turn VO speech off with the TrackPad 
command.  To turn it back on, do a three finger double-tap on your TrackPad and 
it should turn back on.

If you're hearing the VO sound effects but no VO speech, I'm guessing that you 
checked the Mute Speech checkbox in the Speech category of the VO Utility.  
This will be tricky but not impossible.  Press fn-VO-f8 to bring up the VO 
Utility, press your down arrow twice which will bring focus to the Speech 
category, press VO-right arrow three times then press VO-space once.  Now 
speech should be back on, navigate with VO-right or VO-left and see if things 
are read again.

Thirdly, you may wish to get sighted assistance to check the Mute Speech 
setting mentioned above if you can't make it work.

Later...

Re: No Speech.

2013-03-24 Thread Phil Halton
sounds like an awfully drastic conclusion. may I suggest rebooting your mac. 
VoiceOver regularly stops talking on my iMac after it has come out of sleep 
mode. the solution has been to press command+ F5 four times quickly. This 
always works and VO comes up talking right away. Not sure why this happens, or 
why it works, but it always does. I think that command F5 four times quickly is 
some sort of undocumented VO reset command. Try it yourself before resorting to 
a reboot.

Is Tune-Up Accessible?

2013-03-24 Thread jshandra72

Hey Guys, 

I have been avoiding this prospect for awhile now.. I really need to clean up 
my iTunes library. Mainly to clean up duplicates. Does anyone know how 
accessible Tune-Up is in the Mac Store. I have sighted friends who like it and 
say it works well. However, obviously don't want to waste the money if it will 
not work for me. If this isn't accessible, does anyone know of a similar 
program that is? I'm in the U. s., so I need one from the U. s. Store. Thanks 
for any help you guys can give! 

Regards, J. p.

2013-03-24 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Go into your iTunes Preferences, select the General pane and navigate to the 
area about what to do when a CD is inserted.  Change it to "Show CD".  Now, 
when you put the CD in, it will give you a list of the tracks.  Locate the 
track you wish to import, press VO-shift-m to bring up the Contextual menu and 
choose "Create AAC version".  This option may be different depending on what 
your Import Settings are.

Re: Updates.

2013-03-24 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

> Q:  How do I read windows? Is it possible to selectindividual ones, or just 
> one button for everything that's available?

A:  VOf2 twice brings up a Window chooser list.  Simply arrow through the list 
then press return on the window you wish to bring focus to.

> Q:  For writing, do I have the same optionsas with other Windows screen 
> readers, and how are they navagated?

A:  I'm not sure what you're asking exactly.  It sounds to me like you need to 
go through the VoiceOver Getting Started tutorial again.  The tutorial explains 
many of these options and commands.  Realize that the MacOS is a Graphic User 
INterface like Microsoft Windows but it is somewhat different in many respects. 
 It's best not to try to make so many comparisons to the Windows experience and 
to simply learn to use it as a Mac.

Re: MacBook Inquiries.

2013-03-24 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

And one more thing to note, VO is built right into the MacOS, so if you can do 
something with VO on a Desktop unit, you can do the same on the laptop unit.  
No need to worry about whether things can be done on one or the other.

A:  When you press VO-h, you simply arrow through the choices and press return

A:  If you're asking to hide it from within the menu items, then no.  If you 
simply wish to close the guide because you're done with it, then press cmd-q to 
Quit it.

Q:  How is verbosity changed, or does this not apply to MacBookPros?

A:  You can change it using this method.  Use the VO Utility by pressing VO-f8 
or fn-VO-f8.  Interact (VO-shift-down arrow) with the Categories table, select 
the Verbosity option, stop interacting (VO-shift-up arrow) with the Categories 
table, then navigate through your verbosity options.

Re: OS X Server with iTunes library accessible from everywhere

2013-03-24 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Answers below:

Q:  As the topic says, I wonder if it's possible to buy a Mac Mini Server,
> 
> throw my entire iTunes library over there, and have it accessible from
> everywhere I am?

A:  Basically, yes.  There would be some performance and syncing issues though 
depending on your connectivity.  If it's primarily music you're accessing, I 
suggest you simply subscribe to iTunes Match.  This will put all your music up 
in iCloud making it accessible to you wherever you are.

> Q:  If so, have anyone here tried it, and does it work well?

A:  You can share your media files using the Server but the actual iTunes 
Library database does not work properly in this configuration.  Therefore, if 
you change items within playlist and such on one machine, it will not affect 
the others connecting to the media files.  Also, if you add or delete items, 
they do not show up on other machines unless you do some sort of update each 
time.  With this in mind, that's why I've chosen to subscribe to the iTunes 
Match service myself.  These issues are dealt with well using the iTunes Match 
service.

> Q:  Do I need to, and is it possible to setup the Mac to be aVPN server?

A:  You wouldn't need to set it up as a VPN server although you could.  Yes, it 
is possible to do so.

HTH.

Re: Accessibility Settings.

2013-03-24 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Anita,

I've place your answers after each question below:

> Q:  In Macs, is there a Start Menu, Settings and Control Panel. I know help 
> for VO can be gotten with VO+H, if memory serves me correctly.

A:  No start menu per say.  There is the Dock (VO-d) which is a collection of 
shortcuts to often used apps or other items.  Also, when in the Finder, sort of 
your Desktop application, you can press cmd-option-a to bring up the entire 
list of applications on your Mac.  Regarding the Control Panel, it is called 
the System Preferences which can either be accessed under the Apple menu (VO-m 
then down arrow until VO reads System Preferences or it's also on the Dock, 
VO-d and right arrow until you hear VO read System Preferences).

> Q:  Can System files be displayed? Not that I need to look at them now, but 
> was just curious if this is possible.

A:  By default, most System files are already visible.  There are some System 
and Preference files that are hidden for safety purposes but can be made 
visible with some Terminal commands.

> Q:  Does having a CDRom drive slow down performance, or is a system hog?

A:  It will only slow your System down when it's in operation.  If you're 
referring to what the salesperson at the store mentioned, his/her comments 
referred to the overall speed of the computer.  The MacBook Pros with the 
built-in Super Drive usually have the spinning HD as opposed to the SSD drive.  
The SSD drive has no moving parts and allows for a huge increase in access 
speed to apps and data that reside on it.  Therefore, the MBP that you have is 
probably considerably faster than the base model with the spinning HD.

>   Q:  How do I dim my screen, to retain battery life, or does it depend which 
> model you have?

A:  Apple usually tries to make things universal across all models.  To dim the 
screen, press the F1 key.  To brighten, press the F2 key.  Depending on your 
keyboard settings, you may or may not need to add the FN key (lower left corner 
of the keyboard).

> Q:  How can I change spoken and written language with VO?

A:  It is not really VO that changes the language, it is your Mac.  Consider 
that VO is part of the OS and thus if you change the language of the system, 
then the language of VO will change along with it.  To change the System 
language, use the Language & Tex pane within System Preferences.  Select the 
Region tab and choose your region from the pop-up menu.

> Q:  Is there a graphics labeler? Is labeling graphics easy?

A:  To label graphics or other unlabeled elements, use the VO-/ command.  Make 
sure that VO is focused on the unlabeled element then press this command to 
bring up the labeling dialog.

> Q:  Numpads aren't standard, right?

A:  Correct.  NumPads are not standard on any portable.  You'll need to 
purchase an external USB NumPad if you wish that functionality.

> Thanks for any help with this list of questions!

You're welcome.

Hi, 


Apple sells something called a USB Super Drive that will definitely do the job. 
 It is a USB 3 drive, so a very fast transfer rate and does CD/DVD Read/Write.  
Lots of folks simply leave the external Super Drive at home so they only need 
to carry around the very light computer.  The external Super Drive usually runs 
for about $79 or so and is available through Apple or other tech providers that 
sell Apple products.

Re: A nice wireless printer

2013-03-24 Thread Jessica Moss
That's got me curious too, considering the fact that I'll never buy another hp 
product of any sort again, so would love some info on this.  The last 2 hp 
products I bought, the software wasn't speech-friendly, so when the message 
center popped up, I couldn't figure out what it wanted, sense I couldn't do a 
thing with it, and interaction/jaws cursor never did much, so I generally 
always had to have help with most of it aside from being able to install 
updates to my Windows machine, which was an hp machine, which was doable via 
the Jaws Cursor.

Urgently need help!

2013-03-24 Thread Chris Gilland

OK, I'm at my last wits end.  Please please please pleaze please!  If anyone
on this list, moderator, owner, or not, has any! and I do mean any!
experience using whmcs, not? to be mistaken with WHM, please write me off
list.  I'm not even gonna explain right now what whmcs is.  It would take me
too long to explain in an e-mail.  All I'll say is I need help setting up a
server module with the help of Voiceover, and nothing I do is working.

Sarah Alawami, you especially or Mike Babcock, may or may not know about
whmcs, but you may know a way to work around the issue I'm having due to
things I know you all've helped me with in the past off list, so if nothing
else, if one of you, in addition to anyone else can get ahold of me off
list, I'll fill you in as well.

Anyway, sorry guys, but this is urgent, and I'm totally at a loss!

Chris.

Re: Extremely irritating problem when playing DVD's.

Sounds like the DVD controller might be popping up. Triple click the touch pad 
with fingers to mute VoiceOver. If you have a braille keyboard than you can 
still read that while watching your video. Also, if you do not touch the touch 
pad the controller should not pop up.

Re: A nice wireless printer

2013-03-24 Thread Phil Halton
How's the ink usage on this printer?
to me, the most important consideration for a printer is the ink cartridge size 
and whether or not it is refillable at the local photo shop.

for example, I have two HP printers, one, the deskjet 5150 is great on ink, and 
the black ink cartridge is large and refillable. the other, officejet 6000 
stinks on ink and the cartridges aren't refillable.

For my simple printing needs, the ink situation tops the list for features.

OS X Server with iTunes library accessible from everywhere

2013-03-24 Thread David Hole
Jo folks.

As the topic says, I wonder if it's possible to buy a Mac Mini Server,
throw my entire iTunes library over there, and have it accessible from
everywhere I am?
If so, have anyone here tried it, and does it work well?
Do I need to, and is it possible to setup the Mac to be aVPN server?

Best regards David

Re: Battery Status.

2013-03-24 Thread Rachel Feinberg
Hi Aneta,

To check battery status, go to the extras menu by pressing vo+M twice quickly. 
If you vo+right and left arrow, you'll be able to see things like bluetooth, 
WiFi and other things including clock and battery status.
You can create a hot spot for it, that is a keystroke to speak the status 
without going to the menus, I've just not found that to work as reliably. If 
you wish to create a hot spot, do the following:
Go to the extras menu as stated earlier, and go to where the battery status is 
located. Then press vo+shift+1 if you want it as your first hot spot. Then, 
anywhere you are, you just press vo+1 and it will announce the status.
and what I mean by the VO keys, is the control and option keys pressed together.

is where you purchase Fusion. You do not need a Paypal account; I was

  Arrow down to software updates and press enter.  The app store window will

  Depending on your computer, it will take a few seconds to check.

  After that, the list of updates will be shown, and a button to press will

Re: Updates.

2013-03-24 Thread Dave
To check for software updates, use VO M, which brings up the Apple menu.

Arrow down to software updates and press enter.  The app store window will 
open on the updates page and the check will begin.

Depending on your computer, it will take a few seconds to check.

After that, the list of updates will be shown, and a button to press will 
appear to install all updates.

Re: checkboxes in firefox won't stay checked.

2013-03-24 Thread Scott Berry

Basically the bugzilla site is to report bugs.  So if you go to:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org
you will find some links at the top of the page the link you want will 
say search.  This is the link where you search for bugs.  so in the 
search without these quotes you would say for example, "checkboxes not 
working in Mac version of Firefox" and then hit Search.  I just found a 
quick search too so when you go to this same page you'll find and edit 
box and a search button on the main page.
Now if you actually have to report a bug you must create an account so 
you want to click on the New Account link and follow the on-screen 
instructions.

I hope this is more clear for you.

Hello Anita
Windows on mac is discussed quite a lot on this and other lists.
While it is possible to run Windows on mac, the easiest and truly
accessible way to do this is with a paid product called Vmware Fusion.
That's all I will say for now until you get your mac up and running.
I'm only trying to save confusion here, and hopefully not being more a
hindrance than a help.

flash player hoping that would fix the problem yet the videos still want
play. I'm running a 2012 Macbook Air with Mountain Lion and the Latest

it.
