Re: turning off the mac
Hello Don, I put my Mac into sleep mode at night and very rarely shut it down. However, VO-Cmd-Eject is the best way to shut it down. It's all to easy to hold down the Power key for too long and shut the Mac down brutally without it having the chance to close down tidily.

Re: Special request to all who are beta testing IOS8 especially on the Mac.
Ditto. I tried www.icloud.com under Windows and can't say it's accessible. I tried to send a tet mail from my webmail account but couldn't figure out one of the edit fields. I thought it was the to header but the send button was still unavailable. Will try it under Maverix and report back.

Re: turning off the mac
You can also do a clean shut-down by quitting all applications and then going into the Apple menu and choosing shut down. You will get a dialog asking you to confirm. Just press enter, which will press the default button, which is shut down.

Re: Can't find splitter to drag to close Mail preview pane
Hello Stacey, Once you've found the splitter, turn the trackpad commander off if it's active, then bring the mouse with VO-Cmd-F5. Press down on the trackpad with one finger and use another finger to stroke the trackpad from top to bottom. This should drag the splitter to the bottom of the screen. It can take several attempts before this trick works as it's all too easy to move the mouse slightly before starting to drag it.

Re: Itunes Match not working on Mac

Re: Can't find splitter to drag to close Mail preview pane
Thanks, I got it. I really hope part of the changes in Mail in 10.10 will be an option to close that pane.

Press down on the trackpad with one finger and use another finger to stroke the trackpad from top to bottom. This should drag the splitter to the bottom of the screen. It can take several attempts before this trick works as it's all too easy to move the mouse slightly before starting to drag it.

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
Thanks. I’m in the beta partition now, copying a few files over to my external hard drive. The problem is here too: Finder just hung for about thirty seconds, while my Mac’s HD made the sound I’ve come to dread. Still, it’s working, thankfully; my main partition won’t even boot. As to wiping, I’m still not sure what to do. I mean, I know how to format the drive from the OS X on my thumb drive and then install, the question is, what do I do with my partitions? I have two, one Macintosh HD and one OS X Beta Partition. When I did a clean install back in March, I had only the Macintosh HD partition and so didn’t need to worry. I reformatted that partition, but didn’t actually erase it, as people I asked told me that completely erasing the Macintosh HD partition could turn out badly. Are you saying that I should format the entire drive, wiping out both partitions? If I do that, won’t it affect the installation of the OS, or will the installer partition as necessary?

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
Hi Alex, Yes, I’m saying that you should totally wipe the HD. That is, after starting up from the thumb drive, go to Disk Utility and re-partition your drive to one partition named Macintosh HD. Any subsequent partitions should be done later on the live drive. This will ensure that the Recovery Partition is created properly. Not sure where the other individual got there info but this is sound practice. If you used DiskMaker X to create your bootable Mavericks Installer, on the thumb drive or the built-in “Create Install Media” utility of the Mavericks Installer, then a proper Recovery Partition will be automatically created. If you used the Disk Utility method, then the Recovery Partition must have already existed in order to create a proper installation. The problem in your case is that you need to do a total re-format, so, using the existing Recovery Partition is not of any benefit. Refer to http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install-drive.html for info on these limitations. In addition, if you didn’t perform a complete wipe during your last clean install, these errors may have carried over thus any disk structure issues would have persisted. Hope this makes sense.

Re: Special request to all who are beta testing IOS8 especially on the Mac.
Hi guys I have another request for testing when some of you get around to it. I discovered a very bad bug in Pages having to do with the iPhone and iCloud. Don't do what I did or you can lose your files or parts thereof that are near and dear to you heart. Part of this is a VoiceOver issue, and part is not. Here is the disaster I created for myself. Last night I worked on a Pages file until 10 o'clock. I failed to press command s, and this turned out to be a very bad decision. I made an even worse decision this morning. This file had two tables in it. I decided to see if tables would ok on the iPhone; they work great on the Mac these days. So, I fired up my iPhone in Pages. I was using the Focus 14 braille display and discovered that I could get into a table, no prob, get into a cell, no prob, but could not delete characters I wanted to take out with chord d. Then in messing around somehow, and I still don't knowhow I did this, I erased one of the tables. I tried to undo it, and it didn't work. So I went back to the Mac, and sure enough it was gone. Then I decided to see if I could get an older version. That was when I found out that I couldn't read with VoiceOver what my version choices were except for one, the one at 8 o'clock yesterday evening. I was hoping I had a later one, so I had to call that 877 number again so the lady with Apple could look at my screen by helping me to move the mouse without VoiceOver saying a word. She told me I had three choices, none of which were at 10 o'clock last night. This meant I had to do two hours work over. I also moved all my Pages files off the Cloud so I can use my Time Machine backup for disasters.

Re: Can't find splitter to drag to close Mail preview pane
This used to be easier under Mountain Lion. At least there, I didn't have to go into classic mode and I think I could just use the arrow keys to adjust the slider too.

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
Sorry, I just want to clarify one point. All the “clean install Mavericks” articles I’ve found say to format your disk/partition. They seem to imply that you will magically have a Macintosh HD partition, even if it is the only partition on an otherwise blank drive, or that you simply don’t erase that partition at all. In your email, did you mean that the installer will automatically create a partition of the proper size and name if one does not already exist? I’d rather not go through this multiple times, so I want to do everything right on the first try if I can. Thanks for your patience.

Re: Special request to all who are beta testing IOS8 especially on the Mac.
Hi, Not that this helps your situation at all, but, just a clarification for you. Anything that is in iCloud, is also on your Mac already. Therefore, moving those items out of the iCloud area does not specifically do anything profound, in fact, you're losing one backup location. For example: * File xyz.pages saved in iCloud resides off in Cyber Space, in /Users/YourAccount/Library/Mobile Document/blah blah blah, and in your Time Machine location if you use Time Machine. Thus, three places to recover from. * File abc.pages stored somewhere else on your Mac such as the Desktop, is in /Users/YourAccount/Desktop/abc.pages and in your Time Machine backup. So, only two locations. Later...

I discovered a very bad bug in Pages having to do with the iPhone and iCloud. Don't do what I did or you can lose your files or parts thereof that are near and dear to you heart. Part of this is a VoiceOver issue, and part is not. Here is the disaster I created for myself. Last night I worked on a Pages file until 10 o'clock. I failed to press command s, and this turned out to be a very bad decision. I made an even worse decision this morning. This file had two tables in it. I decided to see if tables would ok on the iPhone; they work great on the Mac these days. So, I fired up my iPhone in Pages. I was using the Focus 14 braille display and discovered that I could get into a table, no prob, get into a cell, no prob, but could not delete characters I wanted to take out with chord d. Then in messing around somehow, and I still don't knowhow I did this, I erased one of the tables. I tried to undo it, and it didn't work. So I went back to the Mac, and sure enough it was gone. Then I decided to see if I could get an older version. That was when I found out that I couldn't read with VoiceOver what my version choices were except for one, the one at 8 o'clock yesterday evening. I was hoping I had a later one, so I had to call that 877 number again so the lady with Apple could look at my screen by helping me to move the mouse without VoiceOver saying a word. She told me I had three choices, none of which were at 10 o'clock last night. This meant I had to do two hours work over. I also moved all my Pages files off the Cloud so I can use my Time Machine backup for disasters.

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
Hi, What I’m asking you to do is, in Disk Utility, select your drive. That is, the thing that reads 1 TB Hitachi blah blah or whatever make your HD is, not the already partitioned volumes. Then, go to the Partition tab and partition your HD with one partition, MacOS Extended (Journaled) with name Macintosh HD. As well, press the Options button in this window and ensure that your HD will have the GUID schema. Apply this change and you’ll have one volume on your drive with name “Macintosh HD”. When you run the Mavericks Installer from your thumb drive, the Recovery Partition will be automatically created. Hope this is clearer. Sorry for any confusion.

Since most autoplaying stuff is still Flash based this might be a good time to fiddle with getting something like ClickToFlash installed on Safari. Pages load faster when Flash ads and videos aren't running and if you do want one you just action the spot and that particular flash widget is allowed to load.

Yeah, I tried the reader toggle from the toolbar and that made the reading much easier. Thanks for the idea of pasting into a text file. That’s one way to skin the cat.

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
Hi Chris, I could be off-base, but I believe that functionality may be built-in to the newer Safari installations. In the Advance pane of Safari, there is a section called “Internet Plugins” and directly after it, there is a checkbox that reads something to the effect “Stop Plugins from Playing Automatically”. I have it checked and, maybe that’s why it didn’t start auto-playing for me. When this is set this way, a little button appears in Safari saying something about “Safari Power Saver, Click to Play”. I believe that it will then add that address into the list of acceptable auto-play sites. This may not be the same, but it sure sounds like it to me.

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
I never installed flash on my machine. Though click to flash maybe an interesting option to look at. I just didn’t think it necessary if flash isn’t installed at all. Odd that I couldn’t find any controls to control playback. At least when Audio Boo does this, you can find the controls to start/stop playing.

RE: Special request to all who are beta testing IOS8 especially on the Mac.
Hi Gigi, I can commensurate with you. When I was in grad school between 2005-2008, I did the same thing. Unfortunately, when I always attempted to recreate what I had deleted, it never came out the way it did the first time. I was using a PC at the time and all of my problems existed because I would highlight some text, but because it was probably in the wee hours, I didn't move the cursor off to deselect and save the doc without realizing that I had lost a file or important text. Control-S (PC or Command-S (Mac) became my friend. I also elected to check to make an automatic backup of any document. At least that would save my buns if I repeated the stupid mistake. I really do feel for you. I hope you can reconstruct the tables less than 2 hours. Best, Eileen From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eugenia Firth Sent: Friday, June 6, 2014 9:57 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Special request to all who are beta testing IOS8 especially on the Mac. Hi guys I have another request for testing when some of you get around to it. I discovered a very bad bug in Pages having to do with the iPhone and iCloud. Don't do what I did or you can lose your files or parts thereof that are near and dear to you heart. Part of this is a VoiceOver issue, and part is not. Here is the disaster I created for myself. Last night I worked on a Pages file until 10 o'clock. I failed to press command s, and this turned out to be a very bad decision. I made an even worse decision this morning. This file had two tables in it. I decided to see if tables would ok on the iPhone; they work great on the Mac these days. So, I fired up my iPhone in Pages. I was using the Focus 14 braille display and discovered that I could get into a table, no prob, get into a cell, no prob, but could not delete characters I wanted to take out with chord d. Then in messing around somehow, and I still don't knowhow I did this, I erased one of the tables. I tried to undo it, and it didn't work. So I went back to the Mac, and sure enough it was gone. Then I decided to see if I could get an older version. That was when I found out that I couldn't read with VoiceOver what my version choices were except for one, the one at 8 o'clock yesterday evening. I was hoping I had a later one, so I had to call that 877 number again so the lady with Apple could look at my screen by helping me to move the mouse without VoiceOver saying a word. She told me I had three choices, none of which were at 10 o'clock last night. This meant I had to do two hours work over. I also moved all my Pages files off the Cloud so I can use my Time Machine backup for disasters.

Re: is soloDX finished or not?
Its amusing and sad at the same time when folks state that they will not pay for something that used to be free. Free is not truly free, it will cost us somewhere sometime. If its not worth paying for something, we dont need to hear it for its a choice we all make. The same mindset came up when Taptapsee began charging for their service. It was amusing to see how many people said they would delete the app rather than pay for something that used to be free. They must not have really needed that app. If I want this DVS service bad enough, I will pay for it. I will just not pay for something else, like one cup less of coffee per week perhaps.

Then its neither here nor there. Its tough making choices but we have to do it daily on many things. I do without many things because my budget cannot stretch enough.

Hi guys I have another request for testing when some of you get around to it. I discovered a very bad bug in Pages having to do with the iPhone and iCloud. Don't do what I did or you can lose your files or parts thereof that are near and dear to you heart. Part of this is a VoiceOver issue, and part is not. Here is the disaster I created for myself. Last night I worked on a Pages file until 10 o'clock. I failed to press command s, and this turned out to be a very bad decision. I made an even worse decision this morning. This file had two tables in it. I decided to see if tables would ok on the iPhone; they work great on the Mac these days. So, I fired up my iPhone in Pages. I was using the Focus 14 braille display and discovered that I could get into a table, no prob, get into a cell, no prob, but could not delete characters I wanted to take out with chord d. Then in messing around somehow, and I still don't knowhow I did this, I erased one of the tables. I tried to undo it, and it didn't work. So I went back to the Mac, and sure enough it was gone. Then I decided to see if I could get an older version. That was when I found out that I couldn't read with VoiceOver what my version choices were except for one, the one at 8 o'clock yesterday evening. I was hoping I had a later one, so I had to call that 877 number again so the lady with Apple could look at my screen by helping me to move the mouse without VoiceOver saying a word. She told me I had three choices, none of which were at 10 o'clock last night. This meant I had to do two hours work over. I also moved all my Pages files off the Cloud so I can use my Time Machine backup for disasters.

This will ensure that the Recovery Partition is created properly. Not sure where the other individual got there info but this is sound practice. If you used DiskMaker X to create your bootable Mavericks Installer, on the thumb drive or the built-in “Create Install Media” utility of the Mavericks Installer, then a proper Recovery Partition will be automatically created. If you used the Disk Utility method, then the Recovery Partition must have already existed in order to create a proper installation. The problem in your case is that you need to do a total re-format, so, using the existing Recovery Partition is not of any benefit. Refer to http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install-drive.html for info on these limitations.

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
Very similar. Just turned off click to flash to play with it. The Stop plug-ins to save power checkbox in advanced by itself didn't seem to stop youtube from autoplaying. What did work was going to Security and then hitting the Manage Wesite Settings button next to the Allow Website Plug-ins checkbox. In there I could pick the Adobe Flash Player plugin and then set the when visiting other websites to Ask. That stopped Flash but then I couldn't find the video on the page at all. I seemed to skip right over it. ClickToFlash had each flash element show up as Flash Clickable with voiceover so I could make the video play but skip the ad. I also set the default media player in ClickToFlash to html5 and turned off Load Media player automatically so Youtube just sits there with an object called HTML5 clickable. Somehow it gets some sites to switch to using html5 video.

In the Advance pane of Safari, there is a section called “Internet Plugins” and directly after it, there is a checkbox that reads something to the effect “Stop Plugins from Playing Automatically”. I have it checked and, maybe that’s why it didn’t start auto-playing for me. When this is set this way, a little button appears in Safari saying something about “Safari Power Saver, Click to Play”. I believe that it will then add that address into the list of acceptable auto-play sites. This may not be the same, but it sure sounds like it to me.

Downside of having no flash is some sites insist on using it to play video, so going 100% no flash can leave you with no video at all.

No Pitch Change when Backspacing with Alex
Hi everyone, this one isn't really a show stopper, but it's a little annoying and now that I've noticed it, I'm kind of challenged by the seeming randomness of it. I'm not the biggest fan of the Alex voice, but over the last few days I've been using it to see if more use will cause it to grow on me. I have VO set up to raise the pitch for capital letters. This morning, when I was backspacing over some characters, I noticed that Alex wasn't raising the pitch of uppercase letters. At first I was worried that my keyboard was developing a hardware fault, but then I found that when I was arrowing around, the pitch was in fact raised correctly. I have my keyboard echo set to off, but when I enabled it, again I found that as I type, pitch is raised as expected, but only when I backspace over characters is there no pitch change. I tried the same thing on my fiancee's Mac, and when backspacing over characters, it all worked fine. One difference is that on her Mac, she has it speak the word delete prior to deleting something and I don't. So...I exported my VO preferences, and reset everything to defaults from the File Menu of the VO utility. This sets everything back to how it came out of the factory, keyboard echo, high verbosity, the lot. And still I don't get a pitch change when I backspace over uppercase letters. Does anyone have any clue what might be going on? It's not so bad that I'd want to do a clean install of the whole OS or anything like that, but as I say it's a tiny nuisance and now it's got me curious. Thanks.

Re: No Pitch Change when Backspacing with Alex
I don't think it ever has indicated that they are uppercase when you backspace, but really I don't care, but wait I just tried it on mine, and the pitch changed. hmm, that is weird.

Re: No Pitch Change when Backspacing with Alex
Hi Alia, you are a genius! A genius! I think I Understand what was happening now. My when deleting text option was set to change pitch, so this counteracted the pitch change of the upper case letter.

You don’t need to use the “Add” button at all. Unless I’m misunderstanding you in some way, do things in this order: • start up from your thumb drive. • choose the Disk Utility option. • select the drive in your Mini, should be listed as capacity followed by manufacturer. (eg. 1 TB WDC) • press once on the Partition tab. • press on the “Current pop-up and set to one. • make sure the format is MacOS Extended (Journaled). • enter “Macintosh HD” for the name. • press the Options button. Make sure GUID is selected. • press the Apply button. Your drive will now be totally wiped removing any old partitions and creating a drive with volume “Macintosh HD” as a single partitioned drive. • quit Disk Utility. • choose Install MacOS X from the table and press Continue. • follow the prompts to install Mavericks. Let it do its thing. It will restart and continue with the install then ask you to start filling in Apple ID info and such.

Refer to http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install-drive.html for info on these limitations. In addition, if you didn’t perform a complete wipe during your last clean install, these errors may have carried over thus any disk structure issues would have persisted. Hope this makes sense.

Double tap not opening mail messages?
Hi all, I'm still on the MBA for now I prefer it, in fact, by I'm not supposed to use it for personal use. Anyway, I noticed that when I double tap a message in Mail, it does not open. A menu of some kind comes up, even when I've interacted with the messages table. Pressing enter opens messages, so I figured a double tap would do the same thing. I wonder why it doesn't? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Any final suggestions for my Mini's hard drive?
I was going off memory earlier, so misspoke a bit. I see “current, partition format, popup button, but it is dimmed. The table is not dimmed, and neither are the five tabs, but every other control in the Partitions Tab screen is unusable for some reason. Also, don’t worry about taking a while to get back to me; I avoid all website work for just the reason you described. smile I’m just glad for the help; as I said, the nearest Apple Store is hours away, and this machine isn’t covered anyway.

That is, the thing that reads 1 TB Hitachi blah blah or whatever make your HD is, not the already partitioned volumes. Then, go to the Partition tab and partition your HD with one partition, MacOS Extended (Journaled) with name Macintosh HD. As well, press the Options button in this window and ensure that your HD will have the GUID schema. Apply this change and you’ll have one volume on your drive with name “Macintosh HD”. When you run the Mavericks Installer from your thumb drive, the Recovery Partition will be automatically created. Hope this is clearer. Sorry for any confusion.

All the “clean install Mavericks” articles I’ve found say to format your disk/partition. They seem to imply that you will magically have a Macintosh HD partition, even if it is the only partition on an otherwise blank drive, or that you simply don’t erase that partition at all. In your email, did you mean that the installer will automatically create a partition of the proper size and name if one does not already exist? I’d rather not go through this multiple times, so I want to do everything right on the first try if I can. Thanks for your patience.

That is, after starting up from the thumb drive, go to Disk Utility and re-partition your drive to one partition named Macintosh HD. Any subsequent partitions should be done later on the live drive. This will ensure that the Recovery Partition is created properly. Not sure where the other individual got there info but this is sound practice.

The problem is here too: Finder just hung for about thirty seconds, while my Mac’s HD made the sound I’ve come to dread. Still, it’s working, thankfully; my main partition won’t even boot. As to wiping, I’m still not sure what to do. I mean, I know how to format the drive from the OS X on my thumb drive and then install, the question is, what do I do with my partitions? I have two, one Macintosh HD and one OS X Beta Partition. When I did a clean install back in March, I had only the Macintosh HD partition and so didn’t need to worry. I reformatted that partition, but didn’t actually erase it, as people I asked told me that completely erasing the Macintosh HD partition could turn out badly. Are you saying that I should format the entire drive, wiping out both partitions? If I do that, won’t it affect the installation of the OS, or will the installer partition as necessary?

Regarding grabbing those files, if you startup from your thumb drive, then go under it’s Apple menu to Startup Disk, you should be able to select the 10.9.3 beta partition as your startup disk. if things are OK in that area of the HD.

Re: Skype for Mac
There's a table on the far left; interact with it, vi-down to recent, and under that you will find any pending contact requests. When you get a call, a dialog appears; pressing enter will answer it. To hang up, go to the Skype app and use cmd-shift-h, and cmd-shift-m to toggle the mute status of your microphone on and off.

Re: Skype for Mac
Hi, Further to what Alex has said, you can see your list of contacts by interacting with the table on the left, focusing on contacts, uninteract and move to the right with vo right arrow. Keep doing this until you find your list of contacts. That's how I do it anyway. There's no short cut for answering a call which is a shame, but there is for hanging up (command shift h).

Re: Can't find splitter to drag to close Mail preview pane
Hello Reggie, The preview pane in Mail is where the body of a message is displayed automatically when you navigate to a message. When the preview pane is showing, you can't navigate past a message without opening it and some of us don't like this behaviour at all. If the preview pane is removed, you have to press Return to open a message, but you can choose to skip over a message and go to the next one and the skipped message will still be marked as Unread. I explained in an earlier message how to get rid of the preview pane. Cheers, Anne On 6 Jun 2014, at 19:39, Regina Alvarado reggie.alvar...@gmail.com wrote: Asking a dumb question.

Re: Skype for Mac
The command to answer a call is Command+Shift+R. This will also initiate a call on the focussed contact if you use it when there's no incoming call.
