Using Airdrop with Voiceover
Hi, I have just got a new Macbook Pro, and want to transfer files onto it from my Macbook Air. I have clicked on Airdrop on both machines and each can see the other. I then go to the folder I want to transfer on the Air, and press VO comma to mark it. However, when I locate the image for my Macbook Pro and press VO period, I am told that the marked item is no longer available. I also tried to copy and paste it but suspected that wouldn't work as the things I'd read about Airdrop suggested that I needed to use drag and drop, and sure enough, the it didn't. It's probably stating the obvious, but both machines are running Mountain Lion and connected to the same WiFi network. Any tips/guidance on where I'm going wrong would be much appreciated.

Re: Using Airdrop with Voiceover
I don't know if this is the only way to use Airdrop, but I launch it on both computers, open up a finder window on the source machine, find the file(s) that I want to transfer, do a [VO] [shift] [m] on the file (bringing up a context menu) and then choose Airdrop from the Share menu. You will then be asked to confirm the action on the destination machine.

Garageband
Hi everyone, seeing how I'm on such a roll with the mac at the moment, I thought I'd try Garageband out. I have got ProTools, but I don't have my ILok with me at the moment so I thought I'd give Garageband a shot to do some basic editing. But I am completely clueless about what to do? I'm just trying to edit some audio, but it's proving impossible. I can't even insert audio into a track. In fact, I can't even find any tracks to insert audio into. When I try and create a new track, I only have options to create an instrument track. But I just want a basic audio track. I can locate the media browser and find files, but then I can't do anything with the file apart from play it from within the media browser. So I wondered whether there was an introduction to Garageband with Voice Over podcast out there. I found a website with some podcasts from Ricardo Walker, but the domain was no longer available. Any ideas would be very welcome.

filter Finder list by file type?
Hi all, Often, especially in the downloads folder, I would like to be able to tell Finder what file extension I'm looking for and have it show only those files. For instance, I just downloaded several books, all .epub files. Can I somehow tell Finder to show only .epub files, so I can work with just those files? I could hack together a script to do this, sort of, but I'd much rather have a native solution. Thanks.

Re: Pages APA Writing Style
Hi Robin, It is definitely possible to create your own and edit APA style documents in Pages. This was the style guide of choice when I completed my masters in education last year and I did most of my own formatting. I know that someone on this list also has an APA template you can use as well. The biggest thing to learn about is using the inspector in pages to manage all of your formatting, etc. Use Command+Option+I to bring up the inspector and explore all of the line spacing, paragraph style, and list settings under the text tab. Also, you can use command+T to pull up a font window that allows you to make changes there as well. Let us know if you have more specific questions. -Greg Greg Aikens, M. Ed.

Re: filter Finder list by file type?
Hi, AS I see it, there is 2 ways you could do this. 1. When you're interacting with the table, hit VO-Shift-backslash, then VO-right-arrow to move over to type. Press VO-space to sort via file type. Press VO-shift-backslash to get out of the table sorting options. This will show the finder window alphabetized by file type. You're other option is to use search and search for .ePub files.

Re: Garageband
Hi David, I have some GarageBand tutorials on the website that I am working on. The link is below and I hope the answer your questions. http://htb2.com/tutorials/mac-tutorials/garage-band/ Mike m How to be Blind www.htb2.com Roundtable podcasts, software reviews, accessibility tutorials, and more! On Sep 8, 2013, at 12:48 PM, David Eagle onlineea...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi everyone, seeing how I'm on such a roll with the mac at the moment, I thought I'd try Garageband out. I have got ProTools, but I don't have my ILok with me at the moment so I thought I'd give Garageband a shot to do some basic editing. But I am completely clueless about what to do? I'm just trying to edit some audio, but it's proving impossible. I can't even insert audio into a track. In fact, I can't even find any tracks to insert audio into. When I try and create a new track, I only have options to create an instrument track. But I just want a basic audio track. I can locate the media browser and find files, but then I can't do anything with the file apart from play it from within the media browser. So I wondered whether there was an introduction to Garageband with Voice Over podcast out there. I found a website with some podcasts from Ricardo Walker, but the domain was no longer available. Any ideas would be very welcome.

Re: filter Finder list by file type?
Good idea, that seems to work. I had to hit cmd-2 first, since I usually use column view which is a list and not a table, but after that it worked well enough. Thanks. On Sep 8, 2013, at 5:24 PM, Traci Duncan our4p...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, AS I see it, there is 2 ways you could do this. 1. When you're interacting with the table, hit VO-Shift-backslash, then VO-right-arrow to move over to type. Press VO-space to sort via file type. Press VO-shift-backslash to get out of the table sorting options. This will show the finder window alphabetized by file type. You're other option is to use search and search for .ePub files.

Re: using vo gestures on MacBook Pro
Yes, there is a way. Not all gestures are the same, but many are, including the most common ones (flicking, rotor, the two-finger commands, and muting/screen curtain come to mind as being the same). To use them, you need to turn on the Trackpad Commander, which is simple: hold down the vo keys (control and option), and rotate two fingers clickwise on the trackpad. You will hear a sound and vo will announce trackpad commander on. To turn it off and return your mouse and trackpad to normal, repeat the process, but moving counterclockwise this time.

Amadeus: Listening to sound as it records
Hi all, I am very excited with how accessible, easy and useful is this program. It saves me tuns of time over using Goldwave on Windows. I would like to hear the sound through my computer head phones as I record. I'm recording from a mixer into line in on my iMac. So far I've played with settings ad features and am blown away by the versatility of this sound editor. Any help with monitoring my recordings would be much appreciated.

Re: Amadeus: Listening to sound as it records
Okay, I researched my question and found a satisfactory answer. When you press record, there is a checkbox that says play through. I checked that, and I can hear the sound now. I have a new question related to this. When I create a new track and record on it, the first track does not play. There must be some setting to change this so that I hear both tracks at the same time. Thanks, Antonio On Sep 8, 2013, at 11:58 PM, Antonio M.
