Re: Reading .epub books on mac

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Esther and Mary,

Somehow, Mary's message never reached me. I have had problems with this list 
from time to time for no apparent reason.

I can't talk about Nook as I don't use it, but with Kobo, clicking on the link 
ADOBE DRM EPUB in my Kobo library or when I've just purchased a book downloads 
an Adobe content server message file labeled URLLink.acsm which I just click 
and Adobe Digital Editions opens and loads the book.

All my DRM protected books are put automatically into a Digital Editions folder 
in my Documents folder and when I want to open a book, I just find it in there 
and open the file as usual. It's really very simple.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Reading .epub books on mac

[Esther]

Hello Mary,

I didn't see an answer to your question, so I'll try to help here, although 
Anne may also want to add details.  With Kobo, and apparently also with the 
Nook, you can log into your account on their web page and access the books in 
your library that you've purchased.  Kobo was set up to provide eBook file 
access well before there was a dedicated eReader for your purchased books, so 
the account web site may be easier to navigate for direct book downloads.  
However, you should also be able to download ePubs of your Nook purchases 
directly to your computer.  Then you can simply open downloaded book with the 
Adobe Digital Editions application and read them.  I've checked that externally 
purchased eBooks with ADE DRM can be opened and read in Adobe Digital Editions. 
 

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: First time trying to use a flash drive with my Mac

As a caveat, it should be noted that if the flash drive does not appear on the 
desktop, going to preferences with command,, and checking to make sure that 
external devices is checked. That way, it will show up on the desktop.

Re: Using the Mac for doing legal work

[Nicholas Parsons]

Speaking of doing legal work on the Mac…

My work involves referring to court transcripts. Court transcripts in Australia 
(as elsewhere perhaps) are marked with page numbers and line numbers. A 
transcript for a multi day trial will be broken into several files, but the 
page numbering is continuous. So, for instance, the transcript from day one 
might go from page 1 to page 99, and the transcript from day two will start on 
page 100 and go to page 199, etcetera. It's important when referring to the 
transcript to mention the exact page number and line number.

I tried finding a way to do this on the Mac but failed. In Microsoft Word on 
Windows using JAWS I found there is a quick keystroke to read the line number, 
namely INSERT + Delete, and it's possible to have the page number read out, but 
the only way I discovered to do this was a little clumsy.

Harry or anyone else, do you know a way to discover what page number and line 
number some particular text is on the Mac? This would be really useful to me as 
using my Windows machine is really inconvenient.

many thanks in advance.

Nic

Re: Nisus writer pro VS anything else

[Nicholas Parsons]

This sounds great. Does VoiceOver read out the footnotes as well as letting you 
insert them? And how well does VoiceOver work with the footnotes? Is it 
difficult but do-able, or simple and straight forward?

Is it possible to navigate by heading, page or chapter? Is it possible to go to 
a particular page? Lastly, is it possible for VoiceOver to read out the 
particular page number and line number you're on?

Sorry for so many questions. Thanks a bunch for any help you can give!

Re: ITunes Duplication question

[Esther]

Hi Amber,

FIrst of all, how many duplicate albums are we talking about here?  If you have 
lots of duplicates of all sorts -- not just from some albums that you added to 
iTunes more than once, then I'd recommend you get a commercial product like 
Dupin LIte from the Mac App Store for $7.99.  If you've only added half a dozen 
or a dozen albums to iTunes multiple times, then I would just try to identify 
these using features that already exist in iTunes -- like the feature to 
identify duplicates, or smart playlists.

Let me describe the limitation of the duplicates menu option in iTunes, so you 
can decide when it is worthwhile to get a program like Dupin Lite.  First of 
all, as you've discovered, the duplicates menu option works on a track by track 
level.  It identifies duplicates, but you still have to decide what to do with 
the information.  This is where Dupin excels, because you can then set criteria 
for what to delete and what to keep without going through your whole list of 
duplicate entries track by track.  It's also smarter about distinguishing the 
kinds of duplicates it may find in your library  -- maybe there's one version 
of a track in a compendium album, and another in a separate release album, and 
you don't want to eliminate the track in the compendium album.  Those are just 
a few examples, because you stated your specific problem is to identify albums 
you've added multiple times.

OK, this is how I would proceed.  Start with the list of duplicate tracks that 
iTunes found.  Either go to the "View" menu on the iTunes menu bar and select 
"View Options" or use the Command-J shortcut to bring up the "View Options" 
menu.  Then check the box for "Date Added" and press return to dismiss the 
"View Options" menu.  Now your table of duplicate tracks should have a "Date 
added" column.  Navigate to this column and use the sort command: 
Command-Shift-Backslash for an English language keyboard.  Your tracks should 
show up sorted by date, and if you added albums at different times, the tracks 
in each album will be grouped according to the date they were added.  Now, you 
can simply select a block of tracks associated with a duplicated album.  
Navigate to the first one (I hope you have list view enabled), then press your 
Shift key and arrow down to select the other tracks in the album.  You should 
be able to  identify the albums, because that should be one of the columns 
displayed by default.  If album isn't diplayed, bring up the view menu again 
with Command-J and check the album box before dismissing the menu by pressing 
return.  When you've selected a block of duplicate tracks this way, you can 
just press the delete button.  iTunes will give you a warning prompt asking 
whether you are sure you want to delete.  Just go ahead.  I think you see that 
you can quickly separate all your duplicate albums this way.

Write back if this doesn't work, or if you have more questions.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

 Good day, all:
 In my zest to add all of my music to ITunes, I seem to have added some 
 albums twice.  
 I want to delete the duplicate albums.
 I go to the view menu in ITunes and go to "show duplications".  However, I 
 can only seem to get it to show me duplicate songs, not albums.  When I 
 click the albums button, it takes me back to the "all items" table.  
 Can I get ITunes to show me my duplicate items by album, not by song? If

 any help you could offer would be great.

Re: jail break question

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

If your talking about doing this in iTunes, to my knowledge, there is no 
simulation.  You need to make sure your mouse cursor is on the restore button, 
then turn Voiceover off and hold down the option key and double click your 
track pad or mouse.  When you turn Voiceover back on, you will be in a file 
browser.

Re: Nisus writer pro VS anything else

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Phil.

I love using nisus rather than pages, maybe pages is accessible enough, but I 
better understand how to do things in nisus writer pro. A nice feature you can 
easily mark chapters and afterwards create an epub book.

I hope tables will be accessible in nisus writer pro in the future, they are 
aware of the problem, and there will be some accessibility improvements over 
time.

Best regards Annie.

Re: using bootcamp inside win7 to restart the mac

[Chris Blouch]

I didn't notice any replies to this one. Not sure I would say "Any OS". 
More like any non-Apple OS. They don't want to become the next Psystar.

Hi William.
When I last checked out Bootcamp, I noticed an entry in the Bootcamp 
Control

Panel to restart to Mac Os X.
So try that.

Re: Nisus writer pro VS anything else

[Jürgen Fleger]

Hi Phil,

Nisus Writer is quite accessible. Of course you can forget about tables but 
beside of that, it works fine as far as I can see. Headders, foot- and endnotes 
and even automatically created index works. VO doesn't recognizes the headders 
as such but the visual style is different from the text.

All the best
Jürgen

Re: cleaning up a mess with Iphone syncs

[Ray Foret Jr]

Yep.  That's right.  Solved issue though-at least the Wify issue.  Had password 
read to me and Brailled it.  Had to get all my apps via The ITunes account 
management.  Iphone 5 is now fully set up.  This one is way faster than the 
3GS.  You can really feel the difference when you tap on one verses the other.  
This is true especially when typing.

iTunes freezing while downloading app updates...

[Cameron Strife]

Hi all. I'm using the latest versions of mountain lion and iTunes 11
and am having a problem. Whenever app updates are available, I select
download all free updates and then sign in when the dialogue comes up.

Now, where it says for example, 1/5 of 5, everything stops.

Back when I was using iTunes 10, as the updates downloaded, you'd get
a soft little chime or ding sound as each download completed, the
number would move along, and it would finish in no time at all. Now,
it just sits there doing nothing. When you try to quit, it says that
apps are being downloaded. If you do choose quit, nothing happens.
Even force quit doesn't usually close the program. I let it sit for
over an hour and nothing had changed.

Downloading podcasts and books behaves normally by the way.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this to happen?

Thanks,

Cameron.

Re: manage dashboard widgets

On the Weather widget this plus button is called "Info".  I am not sure if this

not sure You can use the B key if you have QuickNav  enabled with WebKeys.

Skip links might work better now in Webkit.

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

Good Morning,

The WebKit updates indicate that issues we have seen with skip link links not 
working might be resolved. If you have had issues with this, it would be great 
to see if they are now resolved. For the techies out there see:

Re: creating repeating appointments on calendar with osx

[Phil Halton]

sometimes when using VO causes checkboxes to be automatically checked as you 
pass over them, using the tab key alone will traverse the checkboxes without 
changing their state.
That's how it works in SuperDuper, and it might apply here as well. Try it 
out.

Subject: Re: creating repeating appointments on calendar with osx


Here's some explanations and solutions to your problems.

1. When the alert pops up asking whether you want to change all future 
events or only this event, you can navigate to it by opening the window 
chooser menu. You do this by either pressing VO-F2 twice quickly, or by 
doing a two finger double tap on the right side of the TrackPad.


2. When selecting days of the week for a repeating event, the checkbox is 
checked whenever you move the VO curser to it. So, you need to tab through 
once and uncheck all the checkboxes for days on which you don't want the 
event, but don't go back and double check because you'll re-check the 
checkboxes. Damn, I used the word check too many times in that sentence. I 
hope it makes sense.


I love Calendar. Just sayin'.

Best,
Nic

Re: iPhone Manual Question

[Phil Halton]

a two-finger double tap will start and stop certain processes like recording 
in voice recorder, or music playback in the music app.


A two-finger double tap and hold will bring up the item label dialog where 
you can assign a custom label to a screen item like an unlabelled button.

A two-finger triple tap will bring up the item chooser.

Subject: iPhone Manual Question


Hi guys
I just downloaded the iPhone User Guide which is for iOS 5. I got it in brf 
format which was transcribed by the San Francisco Lighthouse. Does anyone 
know if there is the same thing out yet for iOS 6? I was looking for the 
gesture for calling up the item chooser. I guess that's an iOS 6 thing 
because I couldn't find it in the iOS 5 book. I know how to call up the item 
chooser with a keyboard. I accidentally called it up this morning with a 
gesture, but I have no idea how I did it since that's not what I was doing 
at the time. What is the gesture for calling up the item chooser on the 
iPhone?


Regards,
Gigi

Re: manage dashboard widgets

[Søren Jensen]

I'm not sure on what exactly you're searching for. If you enter the widgets 
menu, you'll get a list of installed widgets. Pressing enter on one of those 
will open the selected widget. That's all you can do from the menu.

Nisus writer pro VS anything else

[Phil Halton]

I'm wondering how accessible this feature rich app is? I understand that VO 
with Pages has certain limitations in areas of tables and reading text 
attributes. 

What I need is a word processing app that can handle at a minimum, headers and 
footers, text styles and attributes, and hopefully headings as a part of text 
styles. 
Does Nisus writer pro fit this bill? Does anything out there for Mac/VO allow 
this?

Re: ITunes Duplication question

[Amber Wallenstein]

I have it set so that it does not save a copy in my ITunes folder, since all of 
my music is on an external drive.  Therefore, there are no album folders in the 
ITunes folder.

Tap with two fingers together twice for that particular gesture of Item

Re: ITunes Duplication question

[Donna Goodin]

Oops, sorry, I hadn't meant to hit send yet. :)

As I said, go in to Macintosh HD, then users, then your user folder, then 
iTunes, then Music.  You'll see a different folder for each artist, and within 
the artist folder, different folders for each album.  Just delete one of the 
album folders.

It'll depend on how many albums you've duplicated, but if there are a lot, I 
would think this would be faster.
HTH,
Donna

Hey Amber,

So far as I know, you can't.  It'd probably be easier to do this in the Finder.

Re: ITunes Duplication question

[Nicholas Parsons]

Not to my knowledge, but perhaps someone else such as Esther knows better.

I have found some peculiar phenomena with iTunes duplications though. I have 
many duplications but each is a slightly different length in time. Sometimes 
only by a few seconds, but still different. I can't work out why there would be 
this difference. Very odd.

Awesome. Glad it worked for you.

It's a great game. The first few times I played I was so confused by the whole 
thing, but after a few games it becomes a bit like second nature. I still 
customise the rules.txt file to simplify it a bit though.

Have fun!

ITunes Duplication question

[Amber Wallenstein]

Good day, all:
In my zest to add all of my music to ITunes, I seem to have added some albums 
twice.  
I want to delete the duplicate albums.
I go to the view menu in ITunes and go to "show duplications".  However, I can 
only seem to get it to show me duplicate songs, not albums.  When I click the 
albums button, it takes me back to the "all items" table.  
Can I get ITunes to show me my duplicate items by album, not by song? If so, 
can I delete whole albums?
any help you could offer would be great.
