good stereo computer speakers

2014-02-01 Thread May and Noah
Good morning.

I'm looking for recommendations.

I'm in need of some really good computer speakers for my iMac. The speakers I 
did have connected to my windows machine suck when connected to the mac. so 
it's time for shopping.

Yes, I know the iMac has a good built in speaker, but not so much when you want 
to play music that's definitely basey and loud.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the tip. It seems expensive at $40 to $60, and it uses Infovox

keep costs significantly lower.

Re: urgent help needed with partitions

2014-02-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Using Disk Utility, you should be able to do the following without losing data:

1.  Make sure that you have backed up important data on your drive.
2.  Make sure that your second partition is empty.
3.  In Disk Utility, in the list of disks, select the second partition, the one 
you wish to delete.
4.  Select the Partition tab.
5.  Press the Remove Partition button.

You should be presented with a dialog letting you know what's going to happen 
and to confirm.  Confirm if all is OK and wait for the process to complete.  
Next you will likely want to increase the size of your first partition back to 
it's original size.  You should be able to do this as well in Disk Utility by 
noting how much space is available on your disk, how big the current partition 
is and entering that number in the partition size for the startup partition, 
then press Apply.  Note, you do NOT want to use the pop-up menu to change the 
number of partitions as it will erase all current data.  Also note that 
resizing is possible live on the startup disk whereas changing the number of 
partitions is not.  I haven't exhaustively tested this but, it should work.  Be 
patient as some processes take time especially when dealing with the live 
startup volume.

Later...

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Mark BurningHawk Baxter
Hi, Tim. Thanks for answering all my questions. While I am straight on the 
email issue, I do not find a home sharing feature on my eye devices, and home 
sharing is turned on on my Mac from iTunes preferences.

This should be distinguished from iTunes match, which I do not wish to pay for. 
My understanding was that home Sharon was free, over the intranet of a network. 
As I say, my MacBook Pro 15 as we share over Wi-Fi feature turned on, without a 
password, but I do not know how to get my eye devices to see that.

Thanks. Be well.

 TK:  You need to use the HomeSharing feature of iTunes instead of the Sharing 
 feature from your iTunes Prefs.  Once HomeSharing is enabled on each of your

 each.

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Mark,

The HomeSharing feature on your iDevice is located in the Settings/Music panel 
down at the bottom.  It requires you to login with the same Apple ID as you use 
on your Mac and other iDevices.  It will usually use the same Apple ID as 
entered in the iTunes and AppStore settings pane but I don't believe is turned 
on by default.  As I mentioned, the Sharing feature located in iTunes 
Preferences is different than the HomeSharing feature.  HomeSharing is turned 
on from the File menu and requires your Apple ID.

how about in reverse? was Text to Audio File Conversion, with Multiple Voices?

2014-02-01 Thread Karen Lewellen

Hi,
I am simply pointing this out since others have asked about the reverse, 
audio to text.
Granted I did not dig too deeply, but there is a reference here  on this 
site that might make reaching out to them worth the effort.
My sources tend to actually have the audio transcribed,  or use naturally 
speaking, this might do the job neater though?

just a thought,

Getting an iPad set up for a sighted friend

2014-02-01 Thread Cheryl Homiak
Hi all.

I want to start a sighted friend up with a new iPad Air. She does not live in 
my area so communication must be done over the phone or by email. She is 
definitely not tech savvy! In fact, with the linux system she is now running, I 
had to give her step-by-step instructions in writing and then had to practice 
them with her several times. It isn't that she's not intelligent; she has a 
neurological difficulty which results in her being a very concrete thinker and 
if you are going to teach her something about a technological device you have 
to cover every step. I think she can learn the iPad but it will take some work 
by both of us. So I hope somebody won't mind answering some questions. The 
reason I taught her to do mail in a text-based-only linux system is that when 
she tried to learn Windows an accidental keypress or mouse click into some 
screen she wasn't expecting or any behavior of Windows she didn't understand 
got her immediately and totally lost.

1. Is there any way at all to pair a bluetooth keyboard with the iPad before 
doing the iPad setup. I sort of think the answer is no but thought I'd ask.

2. If there's no way to pair a bluetooth keyboard first, would I do better to 
have her turn voiceover on? Then I could hear what she was doing at least 
during the setup. I prefer to do touch typing during setup and if she did that 
we might encounter problems with the rotor motion but since she can see the 
double tap might work fine for her and indeed she might make more mistakes with 
the touch typing.

3. Once we make it through setup and pair the keyboard (I'm thinking of the 
Logitech ultrathin keyboard cover), I can't teach her sighted gestures. I could 
just teach her to use it with voiceover and mute speech if she wants to do so, 
but if I could find a video for her to watch with basic iPad gestures (bery 
basic!) she might be able to do without voiceover. Does anybody know of such a 
video? I thought of sending her to the Apple Store for help but I think both 
she and the tech person would end up frustrated.

The reason I am thinking of an iPad rather than  aMacbook air, besides pricing, 
is that she basically only does email and i'm hoping she can also learn to surf 
the web eventually also with the iPad. I don't think she needs to get involved 
in all the other complexities of learning other applications or maintenance and 
update procedures of Mavericks. I don't think she needs a lot of disk space 
although I am going to ask her if she plans to put music or videos on the iPad 
and backups with the cloud will be easy once set up.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)

Re: good stereo computer speakers

I'm in need of some really good computer speakers for my iMac. The speakers I

it's time for shopping.

Yes, I know the iMac has a good built in speaker, but not so much when you want 
to play music that's definitely basey and loud.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Mark BurningHawk Baxter
Hello, Tim.

I am looking at my MacBook iTunes, and home sharing is turned on under the same 
Apple ID that all my other devices use. Thanks to your directions, I have found 
home sharing in music at the bottom as you say. It is signed in as my Apple ID, 
and the only other button is a sign out button, which obviously I do not want 
to do.

I am still quite lost.

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

OK, we're getting there.  Now, when in the Music app on your iOS device, along 
the bottom should be some tabs, usually the last one to the far right is the 
More button.  In the More pane, there should be an item called Shared, 
double-tap on that.  A new screen should open with your shared iTunes Libraries 
available.  The first one in the list should be the device you're on at the 
moment, other devices that are powered up and in iTunes should also appear 
there.  Double-tap on the one you wish to access.  The size of your iTunes 
Library on the given device will likely determine how long it takes to load 
onto your iDevice.  You had mentioned that yours was about 80 GB, which is big 
but not huge, so it shouldn't take forever.  The actual number of items is also 
a factor.  Mine is just over 2 TB of which quite a bit is movies and TV shows 
so it does take a long time to build on my iPhone.  I, therefore, use iTunes 
Match and everything is much quicker for me.  I understand though that iTunes 
Match is a cost item and is not for everybody, it was just the best option for 
me.

Still can't reliably focus in Windows VM

2014-02-01 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I'm trying to use VMWare Fusion to run Windows. I did this a few months ago, 
but was never overly concerned since I had Bootcamp. I have now done away with 
Bootcamp and am relying solely on Fusion to run Windows. It works well enough, 
when I can use it. The problem is that I can't seem to always set focus to 
Fusion. For instance, I hit the command key to open the Windows start menu, 
typed in 'dropbox, and hit enter. Suddenly, all key presses were going only to 
the Mac and not Windows. Fusion is still up, but I have no idea what my VM is 
doing. How do you all reliably switch from using the keyboard and mouse in 
Windows to using them in Mac and back again? Thanks.

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

No problem Mar,.  Usually, there is about four tabs along the bottom, at least 
on an iPhone.  So, if you slowly move your finger from the bottom right to the 
bottom left, VO should read those out to you.  They are customizable so yours 
could be different than others.  On my iPhone, if the More pane is active, then 
VO will say More for the heading at the top of the screen and have those tabs 
across the bottom.  If I place my finger on the bottom left tab then flick left 
once, VO will announce Shared and I can double-tap on it to bring up the 
various shared computers on my network.  Could you list off the tabs at the 
bottom of your screen for me please.  Also, could you list off what is 
announced as you flick left from the bottom right hand tab?

This could help me figure out what's going on for you.

 Hi all,
 I'm trying to use VMWare Fusion to run Windows. I did this a few months ago,
 but was never overly concerned since I had Bootcamp. I have now done away
 with Bootcamp and am relying solely on Fusion to run Windows. It works well
 enough, when I can use it. The problem is that I can't seem to always set
 focus to Fusion. For instance, I hit the command key to open the Windows
 start menu, typed in 'dropbox, and hit enter. Suddenly, all key presses
 were going only to the Mac and not Windows. Fusion is still up, but I have
 no idea what my VM is doing. How do you all reliably switch from using the
 keyboard and mouse in Windows to using them in Mac and back again? Thanks.

Re: Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!

2014-02-01 Thread Christine Grassman
You can download your favorite stations when you cannot, or do not wish, to 
stream, and the Radio Plus and Premium versions, (paid), allow you to skip 
songs at will, and in the latter case, compile your own personal stations or 
have stations devoted to a particular artist or group only. I might be missing 
something, but of all the radio apps I have tried, it is my hands-down 
favorite, and I have been after them for months to fix their accessibility 
issues, which had been broken for about a year after initial complete 
accessibility.

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Mark BurningHawk Baxter
Hi, Kim.

In my iPhone 5c music, I have five tabs along the bottom of the screen. They are

Radio, playlist, artist, songs, and more. When more is selected, a screen 
appears in which I have the more heavy, and edit button, and several draggable 
choices for other category, such as albums, composers, compilations, etc. In no 
place on the screen or any others do I see a share button. I have asked my 
cited fiancé to look at it, and she cannot find it either.

In this pain, all of these items are drivable, and I suppose I could move them 
out of the way, so are they covering up other choices that I cannot see? This 
is my only theory, because I believe I am duplicating your instructions 
correctly.

Be well

 Hi,
 
 No problem Mar,.  Usually, there is about four tabs along the bottom, at 
 least on an iPhone.  So, if you slowly move your finger from the bottom right 
 to the bottom left, VO should read those out to you.  They are customizable 
 so yours could be different than others.  On my iPhone, if the More pane is 
 active, then VO will say More for the heading at the top of the screen and 
 have those tabs across the bottom.  If I place my finger on the bottom left 
 tab then flick left once, VO will announce Shared and I can double-tap on it 
 to bring up the various shared computers on my network.  Could you list off 
 the tabs at the bottom of your screen for me please.  Also, could you list 
 off what is announced as you flick left from the bottom right hand tab?
 
 This could help me figure out what’s going on for you.

 Hi,
 
 OK, we’re getting there.  Now, when in the Music app on your iOS device, 
 along the bottom should be some tabs, usually the last one to the far right 
 is the “More” button.  In the More pane, there should be an item called 
 “Shared”, double-tap on that.  A new screen should open with your shared 
 iTunes Libraries available.  The first one in the list should be the device 
 you’re on at the moment, other devices that are powered up and in iTunes 
 should also appear there.  Double-tap on the one you wish to access.  The 
 size of your iTunes Library on the given device will likely determine how 
 long it takes to load onto your iDevice.  You had mentioned that yours was 
 about 80 GB, which is big but not huge, so it shouldn’t take forever.  The 
 actual number of items is also a factor.  Mine is just over 2 TB of which 
 quite a bit is movies and TV shows so it does take a long time to build on 
 my iPhone.  I, therefore, use iTunes Match and everything is much quicker 
 for me.  I understand though that iTunes Match is a cost item and is not 
 for everybody, it was just the best option for me.

 The HomeSharing feature on your iDevice is located in the Settings/Music

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

I'm wondering if either of you have any firewalls set up on your routers or 
computers themselves.  HomeSharing requires certain ports to be open and if 
they are not, you won't see the other computer.  I can't recall the ports off 
the top of my head but can certainly find them out if you need to know.  If you 
have a second computer, are you able to see other HomeShared libraries with 
them?  I'm also assuming that all devices are on the same subnet and that you 
are logged in with the same Apple ID to all devices.

We'll get this figured out some time soon, I hope.

I am so very grateful slacker has been fixed.
I actually have their phone number having looked it up through my Yellow Pages 
app. I've spoken to them on occasion with reference to accessibility and/or 
account issues that I could not access via the app or my computer per  their 
accessibility problems. I have been a paid member  for about a year and a half. 
That radio app hands-down has got to be one of the best I've ever seen.

Re: Creating Recipes In Mac Gourmet Deluxe vs. iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hi Jim, 

I am making some headway with this, but I do have some questions. I will first 
explain what I do and ask my questions. 

1. I open Mac Gourmet Deluxe and a recipe TXT file in my documents. 
2. I highlight the text in the recipe file and then press CMD-SHIFT-M. This 
will open up Mac Gourmet Deluxe and the clipping item is selected in the table. 
3. When I begin to tab over to the right, the only way I can view the recipe 
TXT file is to interact with the HTML. At this point, all of the text will seem 
to run together.  
4. Now, I don't know how I get to the various edit fields, but when I do, I 
need to manually input the data. Hence, I know I am missing a step or two in 
order for the clipping to be entered into the various category edit fields.
5. I am not sure if I need to press or enter on the Set button or just go 
directly to the Save button. 

Here are my questions: 
 
1. Is there a list of commands to use after a particular item is highlighted in 
my HTML area to input the text into the various fields? I know that you listed 
command 5 and command 6 for ingredients and directions, but what are the others 
and where can I find them. 
2. The manual stated something about a popup button to open the various 
categories to place the info into, but I haven't found it. Where can I find 
this popup button. 
3. I'm ending up performing a copy/paste into the edit fields. Do I need to set 
up my recipe TXT files for the various edit fields in Mac Gourmet, so they will 
be imported into them?

this is it for now. Sorry for all of the questions, but this task of importing 
TXT files is not really straight forward. All of your assistance is 
appreciated. 

Thanks in advance. 

Cheers, 
Eileen

 It is very easy to get recipes into Mac Gourmet Deluxe.  If you have a text 
 file you can select the text you want to import and then find clip recipe 
 under services.  You can define a keystroke to do this to make it quicker.  
 Then Mac Gourmet will put it into the clippings section and it easy from 
 there.  You have various fields like name, ingredients, directions and more.  
 You highlight the ingredients and press command-5 for ingredients and 
 command-6 for directions.  There is a very clear explanation of this in the 
 user manual.
 Hope this clears up some of the confusion.

 Hello Folks,
 
 To me the interface of the iOS version of Mac Gourmet is easier to navigate 
 and input the data correctly into the fields. I have been attempting to use 
 Mac Gourmet Deluxe on my Air, but I find it more confusing and not direct to 
 input the info for a recipe. Are there any tricks or tips others can 
 suggest? It took a couple of trials, but I was successful on syncing the 
 created recipe on my iPhone to my Mac. So, maybe this is my solution for 
 now. I have a busy task at hand to get the recipes into this application. 
 However, once this is done, it will be extremely handy in the kitchen. All 
 suggestions on how to input the info on the Mac side would be appreciated. 
 
 Thanks in advance. 
 
 Kind regards, 
 Eileen

Re: Questions re iOS

2014-02-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

One other thing of note for Mark.  If the items on the More page are claiming 
that they're draggable, then you're likely in Edit mode.  When you double-tap 
the Edit button, you are able to drag items from that page down onto the TabBar 
or Music Dock at the bottom of the screen.  The Edit mode allows you to 
customize what appears on the Music Dock.  Doesn't help with your problems, but 
I thought I'd share that info with you.

 Hi, Kim.
 
 In my iPhone 5c music, I have five tabs along the bottom of the screen. They 
 are
 
 Radio, playlist, artist, songs, and more. When more is selected, a screen 
 appears in which I have the more heavy, and edit button, and several 
 draggable choices for other category, such as albums, composers, 
 compilations, etc. In no place on the screen or any others do I see a share 
 button. I have asked my cited fiancé to look at it, and she cannot find it 
 either.
 
 In this pain, all of these items are drivable, and I suppose I could move 
 them out of the way, so are they covering up other choices that I cannot 
 see? This is my only theory, because I believe I am duplicating your 
 instructions correctly.

 Hi,
 
 No problem Mar,.  Usually, there is about four tabs along the bottom, at 
 least on an iPhone.  So, if you slowly move your finger from the bottom 
 right to the bottom left, VO should read those out to you.  They are 
 customizable so yours could be different than others.  On my iPhone, if the 
 More pane is active, then VO will say More for the heading at the top of 
 the screen and have those tabs across the bottom.  If I place my finger on 
 the bottom left tab then flick left once, VO will announce Shared and I can 
 double-tap on it to bring up the various shared computers on my network.  
 Could you list off the tabs at the bottom of your screen for me please.  
 Also, could you list off what is announced as you flick left from the 
 bottom right hand tab?
 
 This could help me figure out what's going on for you.

 Hi,
 
 OK, we're getting there.  Now, when in the Music app on your iOS device, 
 along the bottom should be some tabs, usually the last one to the far 
 right is the More button.  In the More pane, there should be an item 
 called Shared, double-tap on that.  A new screen should open with your 
 shared iTunes Libraries available.  The first one in the list should be 
 the device you're on at the moment, other devices that are powered up and 
 in iTunes should also appear there.  Double-tap on the one you wish to 
 access.  The size of your iTunes Library on the given device will likely 
 determine how long it takes to load onto your iDevice.  You had mentioned 
 that yours was about 80 GB, which is big but not huge, so it shouldn't 
 take forever.  The actual number of items is also a factor.  Mine is just 
 over 2 TB of which quite a bit is movies and TV shows so it does take a 
 long time to build on my iPhone.  I, therefore, use iTunes Match and 
 everything is much quicker for me.  I understand though that iTunes Match 
 is a cost item and is not for everybody, it was just the best option for 
 me.

Hi,

Using Disk Utility, you should be able to do the following without losing data:

1.  Make sure that you have backed up important data on your drive.
2.  Make sure that your second partition is empty.
3.  In Disk Utility, in the list of disks, select the second partition, the one 
you wish to delete.
4.  Select the Partition tab.
5.  Press the Remove Partition button.

You should be presented with a dialog letting you know what's going to happen 
and to confirm.  Confirm if all is OK and wait for the process to complete.  
Next you will likely want to increase the size of your first partition back to 
it's original size.  You should be able to do this as well in Disk Utility by 
noting how much space is available on your disk, how big the current partition 
is and entering that number in the partition size for the startup partition, 
then press Apply.  Note, you do NOT want to use the pop-up menu to change the 
number of partitions as it will erase all current data.  Also note that 
resizing is possible live on the startup disk whereas changing the number of 
partitions is not.  I haven't exhaustively tested this but, it should work.  Be 
patient as some processes take time especially when dealing with the live 
startup volume.

Re: Still can't reliably focus in Windows VM

2014-02-01 Thread David Taylor
Hi,

Sometimes when I enter fusion, I have to alt-tab a couple of times to get focus 
to Windows, but then it stays there unless I press a VO keystroke. Sometimes 
you have to do control-g to grab focus for windows. Generally if you're in and 
out it works, it's mainly when you open it or go in for the first time in ages 
you have to do these things. There is no need whatever to turn VO off, and a 
lot in Fusion prefs relating to keyboard settings and how things work.

Cheers

 At long last, Slacker Radio appears to be as blind user-friendly on the 
 iPhone as it was about a year ago. If fellow Slacker users also find this 
 to be true, please, please take the time to thank Slacker.

I help with admin on the account side. As far as I know the list is open to 
anyone with an interest who stumbles upon it. We just validate folks who sign 
up to be sure they aren't spammers. That said, email me off list and I should 
be able to get things arranged for you.

 Is there anyone on this list, that can tell me a clean way to update my email 
 address without disturbing the content I receiv? I thought I had read at one 
 time this list was invitation only. Fortunately, I got into this list before 
 it became invitation. I don't want to disrupt the information I receive. I 
 don't check it as often as I used to, as I have updated my email address. Any 
 help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
