Apple Mail question.
I've had disk issues with my mac since day 1 and finally after 2 years talked apple into installing a new hard disk so I'm setting up from scratch again. With this in mind, I've somehow stumbled on the 48000 messages that were somehow stored on my mail server. There now all in an old messages folder in apple mail. This is good because I don't have to try and grab the couple of thousand archive messages from my corrupted ccc boot disk backup but trying to work with 1 folder with this many messages is painful. The amount of busy notifications and mail restarts is astounding. My question is, I'm trying to apply message rules to this folder so that I can have list messages in appropriate folders to be able to work with them but all I can find is control option l to apply message rules. I've tried this in the folder with all message s highlighted and not highlighted but nothing seems to be working. Is there a way to force apple mail to apply rules to a specific folder or set of messages? Thanks in advance and apologies for the next batch of questions in advance also..

Re: contacts manager in i phone
It's easy to do but stupid in method. You have to edit the contact, scroll to the bottom with a 3 finger swipe up and flick to delete contact which is the very bottom option Danny.

Re: contacts manager in i phone
Ok, to add to this thread, how do you go about removing a contact? I think I stumbled across this once, but can't remember how I found it now, so could use a memory refresher, sense I have several I need to get rid of.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
He couldn't have been very knowledgeable about VO if he didn't know that parallels is inaccessible, and that VMWare or Bootcamp are the only windows solutions. I too am about to start using VMWare on an iMac. I have a bootcamp installation of Windows7 already on the iMac, and will be installing and using VMWare soon to access it more readily. My only dilemma is whether or not to eliminate Bootcamp, or to run it directly through VMWare. - Original Message - From: "zoe" To: Sent: Friday, June 14, 2013 7:45 PM Subject: Fusion boot camp or parallel Hi everyone, I am thinking about getting a base iMac.

Re: contacts manager in i phone
I have had some trouble with this too, but I finally figured out that it works better if you flick left and right from the left-hand side to the right-hand side of the screen and vice versa to get the proper fields come up. I found it very frustrating to run my finger around the screen to find the right things. The first and the last name field or at the top of the screen so you don't when you flick left or right, you need to double tap on them because when you hear first or last that is the one that is in focus. If you will notice, when it says mobile voice over also says to double tap to get other options. I hope this helps.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
My thoughts are that it depends. I used Bootcamp when I started with the Mac, and installed a boot manager that let me just hit w or m to boot into windows or mac. It was great, since I needed to know not a single mac command to use windows, whereas a virtual machine solution requires you to be able to at least launch it in mac first. That said, I had no official training so had to rely on this list and twitter to learn everything about the mac. Since I still needed to use my computer on a daily basis, and since the mac was my only machine, I felt that being able to use native windows would be the best solution for me, until I was either comfortable with the mac or decided it was not for me and stuck with only windows. Needless to say, I got used to the mac and now hardly ever boot windows, and am looking into replacing my bootcamp setup with a vm solution. If you are close to an Apple Store, you could go in there and get help, especially in the first thirty days while your machine is still under warranty. So, since you have access to help, I think a virtual machine solution is better: no partitioning of the hard drive, not needing to shut down to do something in the other OS, and you can even run a vm of win7 and one of win8, or a linux distro, if you wanted to. None of this is final, too - if you bootcamp now, you can also use a vm solution and erase your bootcamp later, or vice versa. As to virtual machine applications, I have no information on Parallels, but I know Fusion is accessible. Virtualbox, another program, is not very accessible, but it can be used. However, I had sound problems when I tried to use it, so i'd stay away from that one. Really, Fusion seems the best option, unless (as another poster said) Parallels has been updated to be accessible. Please don't hesitate to ask questions about the mac as you learn it. We are all here to help, and some of us are even happy to talk to you on the phone or skype if necessary.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Hi Zoey, I myself am using Fusion, and it's the most wonderful solution for accessing Windows programs along with your mac ones. Bootcamp requires some sighted help to set up, unless you can find a guide to help you, which I honestly still wouldn't recommend. As far as Parallels, that's completely inaccessible, the last time i heard anything, but they may have changed. A lot of people on this list use VmWare Fusion.

Re: ABBY Fine Reader Question
Hey Ann, Like everything I seem to be having a problem. I found the drop down box to select the Canon Twain Driver which I did than I pressed the convert to text document, and all of the sudden I have no windows in ABBY Fine Reader. Do you think having the Canon software hooked to scan when I press the buttons on front of the physical scanner might be conflicting with Fine REader? Might it be an either or type thing regarding which software you use?

Re: contacts manager in i phone
All things new iOS users deel with. Please don't think me patronising but frustration slows down the learning curve quite a lot. Everything is rational and accessible but not expected or in a manner most of us expect. ESP people like me from a windows background. The first thing to remember is that each field you want to add or change information in has to be made active like entering into forms mode in jfw. Touch a field like last name and then lift your finger and tap twice anywhere on the screen and this will activate the field. Touch to highlight the field or controll then 1 finger double tap to start editing. Sounds like your trouble is you don't do this again on the next field. The way to know an edit field is activated is when you touch the field it will say the field name followed by is editing. Eg in my mail message the subject says subject text field. Double tap to edit but the message body says message body text field editing. Some times you will find a back next and done button just above the keyboard. Think of them as shift tab tab and ok. Back and next will move you back and forth through the fields making your current field active automatically. Done Is pretty self explanatory. It's an ok button for the mobile button, I don't know anyone who didn't think it was for putting in the number. Me and my friends sure did. Smile. This is a button you can press to get a list of number types. There labels but in the case of iPhone, if someone has iPhone set for their number you can automatically send them iMessages saving SMS charges plus use FaceTime etc. not esenchal but very handy.

Re: Blogging
Hey Nicholas, I assume when you say has it already been OCR you mean do I have to do anything extra to read it, if that is the question, than no, I just put the piece of mail on the scanner, press the scan button in the physical scanner, and the software cannon provided with the scanner scans the document and opens it in Preview. Of course this is where the problem lies as sometimes the scans come through garbled so I think the OCR is not fantastic. I have been playing around with ABBY Fine Reader a little and think that might be the option for me, as it looks like ABBY might have better OCR than the Canon software on the occasion where I need the scan to come out perfect for an account number or phone number. A lot of the time, the Canon software does the trick as I just need to know what the piece of mail is. Hope this answers your question, if not let me know.

Re: Bone conduction your phones with iPhone
You can use them for music but can't expect hifi quality. For hearing VO whilst still being fully aware of your surroundings they are amazingly good. My brother and I use them for calls as well and if the mike is placed well then they work perfectly well. I find them great in meetings class rooms etc. At first going from never wearing them to 4 to 8 hours in a day I tended to get the occasional headache but that was a bunch of extreme changes of which the conduction was a small part. I love them and for me there worth every penny and the battery life s amazing.

I personally like Awk in place of, or in addition to, Grep.

Hello All: I am having no end of trouble with the contacts manager on the i phone. Finding a contact is ok for the most part although trying to slog through the letter headings is annoying. My current problem is how to add a contact. When I open up the add contacts thing the first thing it wants to know is whether I want to add a photo. Whatever. Then it has a field for last name and then first name. Somehow when I try to enter the last name in the last name field ten the first name in the first name field they both end up in the last name field. Next comes company then mobile button. Thinking this is where I put someone's mobile number I tap this and get some nonsense about labels If I cancel this and return to the add contact dialogue I find a mobile phone text field that was not there previously. This text field contains a keypad I guess but then when I return to the add contact screen once again I have to go all the way to the done field in order to hopefully save the contact.

Re: Bone conduction your phones with iPhone
I have tested many bone conduction headphones and AfterShokz is the best ones I have used. You need first decide if you want it with wires or wireless. My suggestion with wires is AfterShokz Sportz M2 -model. It has microphone too, so you can make phone calls too and control Siri. For wireless there is AfterShokz Bluez -model. It is using bluetooth and it has microphone too.

Re: want to learn more about do shell script?
I haven't checked out those pages. I found a manual online which listed a bunch of definitions with curl. No luck yet with grep. Oops, no the webpage I pasted was the radio station's page. On that page, inside a frame, it always says what is currently playing. That is the piece of text I'd like to grab. I'll check out your second suggestion, thanks.

Bone conduction your phones with iPhone
Hi guys I bought BlindSquare for my iPhone yesterday. It recommends getting bone conduction your phones, and I found the ones on Amazon for aftershock. The reviews I read seemed somewhat mixed.

Re: ABBY Fine Reader Question
Hello Brian, You should be able to connect your scanner to your Mac, then launch ABBYY Finereader and your scanner should show up in the table of sources. Select your scanner then click the Convert to text button or whichever task you want. My Canon Lide 110 shows up twice in the table, once for its twain driver and the second time with something labelled ICA. Both work.

Re: VM Fusion question
It is supposed to grab keyboard automatically. If you can see the toolbar, try hitting option-tab a few times until you hear wineyes. That usually works for me. If it doesn't grab, try moving away from the Fusion window with command-tab and back again. Then retry the option-tab thing again. You can also try maximizing the window. I think it is control-command-enter. You can find it in one of the menus to be sure. On Jun 14, 2013, at 12:12 PM, Bill Holton wrote: Thanks. I am very close.

ABBY Fine Reader Question
Hey listers, I just installed the trial of ABBY Fine REader, and please forgive my ignorance on this. I am assuming that I scan my mail the same way using my Canoscan and it's software, and when the scan is finished I then open the scan in ABBY Fine REader and either choose convert to text document or another option? Is this how the software works? Does the OCR some how make better use of the recognition than the Canon software. Meaning if something comes through garbled in the original Canoscan that ABBY Fine Reader's OCR can make sense of it? Just tried a practice document and yes, it was easier to read in ABBY fine reader but want to comprehend how it works, and not sure if the scan came through ok with Canoscan on this one. I would have thought you would use ABBY to scan the document therefore cutting out the mistakes Canoscan's poor OCR would make with the initial scan.

Am I to understand that it is not necessary for this to be enabled? Also when doing my test, I was using my Apple ID and so was the person I was attempting to screen share with. Do I need to change this? Thanks again for all of your valuable assistance! Have a fantastic day, Rhonda -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Almost perfect scan with Prizmo
Hi Anne. I used goggles with standscan yesterday, there was some creams which I could not find the barcodes on, nothing worked. At last I used standscan and talking goggles, If you lift your item a little inside the standscan it works pretty good. I would like, if the results where shown in braille, because it can be a little difficult to understand what talking goggles says. Cheers Annie.

Re: Foreign HQ voice for iPhone?
Thank you so much for the info. I have another question, and please accept my appologies if it seems like a stupid question. When I change the language settings to Greek, and then I connect my phone and itunes automatically appears, is the hq language suppose to automatically download, or am I suppose to look for it somewhere to download? I did the above, but it doesn't seem like anything happend, i searched around on the itunes but could not see anything for language options or downloads. Nothing happend but that could also be because there isn't a hq voice available for the Greek. What do you think? - Original Message - From: BBS To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2013 7:11 PM Subject: Re: Foreign HQ voice for iPhone? Hi Jurgen and Zoe. Yes, you can only use the iPhone's voices that are built in to the iOS and unfortunately, you can only download one HQ voice at a time. Also, the device needs to be plugged in for a voice to download. So if you want the English voice, either Daniel, Samantha or Karen, you would have to either change your language or your region settings to get those voices. Likewise, if you wanted, in Jurgen's case, the German voice and in Zoe's case, the Greek language, you would have to change your language, plug the phone in and let it download. I hope that helped.

text-grabber vs. Prismo (was Almost perfect scan with Prizmo)
Hi all, Yesterday afternoon I was messing around with both these apps to try and figure out if one is better. So far my results are inconclusive, I wasn't 100% happy with either scan. I was just holding the phone in my hand, I was not using a StandScan Pro or Scanbox. Just curious whether anyone else has done a side-by=side of these two apps, and if so, what you're thoughts are on the merits of one over the other.

Hello Kawal, There are two similar boxes to help with scanning using a smart phone. There's StandScan Pro and ScanBox. The StandScan Pro is shipped from Hongkong and the Scan Box comes from Australia. They both work on the same principle of providing ideal lighting and positioning with no difficulty. Someone who has both says that the StandScan Pro gives better results but I can't speak from personal experience as I only have the StandScan Pro.

Re: Almost perfect scan with Prizmo
Hello Nick, I've been using the StandScan Pro for about three months now and would highly recommend it. My preferred OCR app for use with the StandScan Pro is TextGrabber + Translator which can handle three different languages at once and produces even better results than Prizmo. I use both TextGrabber and Prizmo because Prizmo works better freehand than TextGrabber and situations arise where it isn't convenient to set up the StandScan or even carry it with me.

Re: Almost perfect scan with Prizmo
Have any of you tried StandScan? I've heard it's pretty good. I'm thinking about trying it myself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Accessibility of Safari and Rich Text Editors with VoiceOver
Thanks, Chris. That looks good. I note their demo was using JAWS. I've noticed that JAWS does tend to work a bit better with rich text editors for me. I'd be worried that CKEditor might work well with JAWS, but not VoiceOver. I'm keen to try and encourage people to make their websites accessible for both windows and Mac screen readers. Hopefully CKEditor will be fine with VoiceOver though. Re AJAX, the problem with this university website, as with Facebook, Gmail, Google Calendar and other AJAX sites I use, is that typically there is no announcement to indicate when and where a menu has popped up. There's no way to navigate quickly to the menu by heading or landmark or anything, so one is forced to fumble around through the whole site trying to find whether a menu has popped up and if so where. For instance, this university site has icons which VoiceOver reads as just plane text elements. If, however, you click on them a frame opens up at the bottom of the page. But VoiceOver doesn't say anything to indicate this. Moreover, there's files which appear as icons. A user needs to right click them to reveal a menu. this is not the browser or system menu. The web app has hijacked the system menu. Instead, an AJAX menu appears. However, the VO-SHIFT-M command of course does not work to reveal this menu. I had to route the mouse curser and then perform an actual control click. I don't think most VoiceOver users would think to do this without any instructions that there was right click options for those icons. Moreover, once the menu is revealed, there's no way to get rid of it with VoiceOver. You need to either choose one of the menu options, or click somewhere else on the screen and hope you don't click on something you didn't want to click on. So sure, this is all useable, but it's not user friendly. Plane HTML would be able to perform all these functions and it would be much more user friendly for screen reader users. Though it would, of course, not look as cool for sighted persons. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
