RE: three operating system on mac

[Debbie April Yuille]

I find the Mac brilliant when it comes to the intergration with iDevices.
Windows doesn't cut it in that area at all.

I don't agree the mac can't get the job done because it can. Its just 
nice to have the best of both worlds and the mac with Vmware Fusion or 
Bootcamp can do this very well. But if like me you have a Windows 
machine then why not use it while it lasts.

RE: three operating system on mac

[Debbie April Yuille]

Please don't miss understand me, I  love the Mac, I have one but I believe
that if I'm lucky enough to be able to afford windows and a second computer,
than I should use them. I'm from Australia and I find the transcription
website that I'm studying from just doesn't quite work with safari. As well
I use a laptop for my job and I can tell you that a lot of work places are
windows orientated.

It all depends on what you need and what you are willing to learn.  I have a

Fillable MS Word files on Mac?

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I just downloaded an application which is a fillable MS Word file. I have 
Pages, but instead of text fields, I see a table with some blank cells and 
other cells giving the prompt (first name, a few empty cells, last name, a few 
empty cells, etc). Is there a trick to this, do I just pick a cell and fill out 
the information, or is this format just not supported? Thanks.

Re: windows on mac?

[Devin Prater]

Also, eurpod.net/vmware has a great selection of abandonware which is 
all legal as far as I know. The one I use is the windows xp vm, and with 
the sound buffer configured, I truly feel like I'm using windows on a 
native desktop with a good ammount of ram. Its just that snappy.

Buying Windows is needlessly complex if you want Windows 7 still. If you
are okay with jumping into Windows 8, and as you haven't used Windows in
a long time I see no reason you shouldn't go to 8, then it's easy. Just
go to www.microsoft.com  and see what they
have. You can get Windows from other places as well - amazon.com
, new egg.com , and others. It will
be pretty expensive, but I don't have 8 so I can't say just how much. As
you are looking, though, you might see a bunch of options; get 64-bit if
you can, as there is usually no price difference between that and
32-bit. Don't get an OEM version, and, if you plan on hardly using it,
get the most basic version (Home Basic, if they kept the Windows 7
naming scheme).

As to screen readers, NVDA is a great program and is free. It is all I
use on Windows, and it does more than I need. That said, it seems a lot
to go through for just one website. Have you talked to the site owners
about making their content more accessible?

don't even know where to buy windows or which version to buy? I don't 
understand the 32-bit thing either, or is it 64 bit? LOL! Is it better to just 
go buy a cheap windows laptop and use MVDA? I mostly need it for a flash based 
website. :( If I put windows on my Mac I don't know if it's better to use 
bootcamp or vmWare fusion? How do I protect my Mac when using windows?  Way too 
many questions. :) I also do not own a screen reader for windows. I believe 
purchasing one, would be way out of my budget. Speaking of budget, how much 
will it cost me to get windows on my Mac? I haven't used windows in many years. 
The last time I used windows I was a zoom text user but changes in my vision 
now definitely require a full fledged screen reader. I can't use zoom anymore. 
:)

Thanks so much for any help,
Christina

Hi all,
I heard the recent Applevis podcast about installing Windows on a Bootcamp 
partition using a USB sound card, and while that's nice, I have an older 
version of Bootcamp it seems, as the bootcamp assistant on his Mac sounded 
different than mine does.
I wonder if there is a way to burn the Windows PE installer files to a disk. 
I'd still need a USB sound card I guess, but it would be nice to have a talking 
installer.
Can anyone recommend anything?
Thanks.

Re: opus audio encoding on osx?

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

As was said before, VLC has supported Opus since about 2012:

http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/tag/Opus

The IETF version is used in WebRTC and I have to wonder why we still 
have apps to download and install when it can all be done in a WebRTC 
compliant browser now. Maybe it's easier to monetize an app than a page. 
If everybody did go with Opus it would also mean that, at least for 
audio, interoperability would be quite possible. Of course once you get 
interoperable voice over IP, all kinds of FCC regulations kick in under 
the CVAA so there is some incentive for all the players to remain as 
separate islands.

royalties associated with them.  Yet, for some reason, Opus is still mainly 
only used by Open Source, WebRTC, and SIP.

You can write it in LaTeX with any text editor, then generate a PDF file for
printing. MacTeX is available here:
https://tug.org/mactex/

Unfortunately the installer isn't very accessible. Once it is installed,
however, you can run pdflatex, for example, to generate a PDF document.

Re: three operating system on mac

[Christopher Hallsworth]

I don't agree the mac can't get the job done because it can. Its just 
nice to have the best of both worlds and the mac with Vmware Fusion or 
Bootcamp can do this very well. But if like me you have a Windows 
machine then why not use it while it lasts.

Re: Fire Wire drive ports not identified in the System configuration utility

[Kayaker]

Hi,

What Mac do you have. If system profile doesn't see any ports, are you certain 
your Mac has a firewire port? Apple stopped putting firewire on laptops a long 
time ago. I will say that firewire is supported on Mavericks just fine. I 
suspect one of the following is your problem:
1. Your Mac has no firewire ports, thus you cannot use firewire.'
2. Your Mac has blown the firewire controller, a common problem with firewire.
3. IF not 1 or 2, try resetting the SMC on your Mac. That sometimes will 
correct firewire issues.

Best,
--K
Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the 
questions.
