Hello,

I am a huge fan and longtime user of Super duper.

It is totally VoiceOver accessible and works with both Maverick and
Yosemite.

MacFuse, Anyone?

[M. Taylor]

Hello All,

I was just browsing around the system Preferences pane and discovered that I
have an icon located at the very bottom called MacFuse.  I did some research
on this and discovered that some applications require it to run properly
but, for the life of me, I cannot remember having ever installed it.

Does one else have this preference icon listed in system preferences?

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper

[Christopher Hallsworth]

It replicates sector by sector what is on your volume. I don't think 
Time Machine does this. It certainly doesn't let you boot into the 
backed up image anyway.

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

I have always been of the opinion that if there is viable software on my device 
to accomplish a certain task, then there is no reason to install additional 
software that duplicates built-in functionality, unless that additional 
software brings some kind of added value.  Is there any reason why one would be 
better off with one of these apps than with time machine?  Time Machine has 
always worked for me, though I have never had a hard disk crash, so haven't 
really had to put it to the test.  But I have restored from Time Machine 
Backups onto new Macs, and that process has always gone quite well.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper

[Christopher Hallsworth]

You can't boot from the Time Machine backup like you can with Superduper 
or Carbon Copy Cloner. I agree with your sentiments however it is one of 
these occasions where perhaps using third parties offers benefits set 
out from the built in ones.

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper

[ROBERT CARTER]

Hi,

Most people who are really in to backing up their data believe that three 
backups are the safest approach. I personally use Time Machine to backup 
automatically. I use SuperDuper and make a bootable clone of my computer once a 
week. I also subscribe to an off sight backup service called Back Blaze. It 
automatically keeps the data files on my computer backed up in the cloud.

Time Machine is good for retrieving a file that you deleted by mistake. A clone 
is good if your hard disk fails and you need to quickly get up and running. 
Offsight backups are good if something happens to your local backup.

All of the solutions that I have mentioned worked well with VoiceOver. There is 
a really excellent book from Take Control Books called "Take Control of Backing 
Up Your Mac."

Wow, that's a lot of backups!  thanks, Robert, nice explanation.  I don't think 
I need three, and I don't know if I would want a cloud backup anyway.  But I 
will give some thought to SuperDuper.

Hello All,

I was just browsing around the system Preferences pane and discovered that I
have an icon located at the very bottom called MacFuse.  I did some research
on this and discovered that some applications require it to run properly
but, for the life of me, I cannot remember having ever installed it.

Does one else have this preference icon listed in system preferences?

Hi Mark,
Yip, I have it on my IMac 2012, just after "Startup Disk" it then says "other" 
and lists "Fuse for X"
I'am not sure what it does, but I guess I will now have to go spend time and

sharing activities?

[John D. Lipsey]

Hi all:

Now that I'm using activities more, I'm loving the value they have in 
increasing my productivity in certain things.  This got me to thinking.  It's 
easy enough for me to tell somebody how to create an activity if i find one 
particularly useful, but it would be nice if I could just give them a file and 
let them have all of the activities I use if our needs align enough for that to 
be a viable thing.

Is sharing activities even possible? Or should I just guide people through the 
steps to recreate my activities if they wish to.

Thanks.

Best,

-John

Re: MacFuse, Anyone?

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

MacFuse was a discontinued drive format reading tool last updated in 
2010. You would install MacFuse and then install plugins for, say , NTFS 
or FTPFS. I think I had played with it a while back to try and get 
read/write access to NTFS and maybe some packages like VMWare included 
for a while.

not sure my question got to the list

[Gerard Doody]

Hi all, I am looking for the podcast done by David Woodbridge which I think was 
on Applevis, but I can't find it there any more.  The subject was creating a 
bootable dvd in mavericks.  I reading the one in which he created one for os10. 
but, I am stuck after creating the disk image file in my downloads as it 
doesn't show up in the disk utility so I can make a dvd. Any suggestions would 
be appreciated.

I'd use super dooper.  
It is a 5.2 gb file which is too big for the dvd unless you have a dual layer 
dvd.

insert key remapping not working on right side of the keyboard under Fusion ...

[Jeff Bishop]

Hello Everyone,

OK, this is a very strange one and I am hoping someone can lend some advice 
here.

I have a MacBook Pro running Fusion. I use Seil and Karabiner to remap my caps 
lock key to the Insert key. I use SharpKeys to flip my alt and window key 
mappings and all of this is working as I expect, with one exception...

I normally use a full sized Apple keyboard while at the office with a numeric 
keypad on the right. So, this means that the caps lock key doesn't play a role 
here for the most part and everything works well for me using the JAWS desktop 
layout.

I have found that if I use the insert key on the numeric keypad or the caps 
lock key while in Laptop mode that none of the keys past the J key work. 
Meaning, I can do things like insert-t, caps lock plus s, etc., etc. but 
anything on the right-hand side of the keyboard doesn't work.

Something interesting to note is that the laptop keys don't work whether using 
caps lock or the insert key on the numeric keypad past the letter J.

Has anyone run into this issue at all? If so your advice is hugely appreciated.

I am wondering if the newer versions of Karabiner or Seil have broken something 
here?

Jeff

assistance from the moderator

[Scott Shade]

Hello, I don't have your original personal email address, and need to 
know the best way of doing this. My sam net email address will probably 
go temporarily inactive, and I may not have the service for an extended 
time.  Is there anyway to transfer my subscription over to a new gmail 
address?  Or is it better for me to just subscribe the new address and 
let this one go inactive?
Since it will be my main email address, I'd prefer if you could get 
ahold of me in private.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello William,

Thank you so much for this info.  

You know, I'd completely forgotten about VM Whare Fusion being installed on

remember so many extra steps just to get Jaws to work.  

Thanks again,

Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,  

I want to uninstall both VM Ware Fusion and MacFuse from my machine.

Is it difficult to uninstall a program on the Mac?  Believe it or not, I've
never uninstalled a single app.  On the other hand, I've only installed 5
third party apps and use all but VM Ware Fusion. So I guess that's a good
average, eh?  (smile)

I know that Apple states that all one need do to uninstall an app is to
simply put it into the Trash but I have heard through the years that one
must do more than this to really uninstall it. 

I'll be honest, my fear of uninstalling incompletely or incorrectly comes
from my many years of working with Windows which, as many of you may know,
can turn ugly with just the click of a mouse.  In years gone by, if one
didn't uninstall something correctly, it could cause major startup problems.
While I'm certain this is not the case in OSX, some fears are difficult to
dispel.  

Any and all replies welcomed.  

Mark

Most you just move to the trash but if you want to go deeper then search 
for and check out the free Appcleaner and the shareware Clean My Mac 2, 
both of these are not in the Mac App Store.

Re: insert key remapping not working on right side of the keyboard under Fusion ...

[Chris Moore]

Jeff,
If you're running Seil, you don't need sharp keys.  Seil can remap the caps 
lock key to the insert key.  Carabiner also gives you a numeric keypad which 
you can access using the fn plus the keys on the right side (7 8 9 u i o j k l 
m / ; p 0).

Re: Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick

[Barry Hadder]

All you have to do is move it to the trash.  The only thing you might want to 
do is turn off the thing that adds it to the status menus.  I can't remember 
off hand what it's called.
The only time you might need an uninstaller for an app is if it installed by 
means of an installer package.  This will be a pkg file.  Usually, such a file 
will either have an uninstall pkg, or there will be instructions from the 
distributer on how to properly uninstall it.  If you don't see either, than I 
don't recommend installing it.

Most people switching from Windows to OS X seem to want to bring Windows 
baggage over to the Mac.  OS X is really very different than Windows.

[Alex Hall]

Have you looked into the default Calendar and Reminders apps yet? If you have 
an iOS device, they are especially nice because all your reminders and events 
sync to all you devices; add an event with Siri and it will show up on your 
Mac, for instance, and vice versa. Needless to say, these apps are accessible.

Re: Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick

The only time you might need an uninstaller for an app is if it installed by 
means of an installer package.  This will be a pkg file.  Usually, such a file 
will either have an uninstall pkg, or there will be instructions from the 
distributer on how to properly uninstall it.  If you don't see either, than I 
don't recommend installing it.

Most people switching from Windows to OS X seem to want to bring Windows 
baggage over to the Mac.  OS X is really very different than Windows.

Re: Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick

I forgot to mention that in the case of something with a preference panel 
applet, if there isn't an uninstall package with the app you you will probably 
find it in either ~/Library/PreferencePains, or /Library/PreferencePains.

blind square help.

[Jessica Moss]

I just downloaded the blind square app, and love it so far, but can't seem to 
find an option to use any gps apps other than google maps, which I don't have, 
and maps, which I almost never use, and would like to use scout maps, which I 
was under the impression I would be able to, sense the description says it 
would work with your choice of 3rd-party apps, then named about a ton of them.  
Am I missing something here?
  I can't seem to find a help file any place, and can't find anything in the 
settings that says anything about which gps apps to use, so I'm really stumpt 
here.

ShortCut Key to Open Notifications Area Question

[M. Taylor]

Hello Again,

Is there a Shortcut key or can one create a shortcut key to open the
Notifications area of Maverick?  

I was told, last week, by an Apple employee that a two-finger swipe from
left to right on the TrackPad will open it but, as far as I can tell, this
gesture only works when the TRackPad Commander is off.

It may not work with that application right now. I know it works with Seeing

accessible nas disc question

[William Windels]

Hello,
I would like to buy a has disc.
It should be my first has disc and I don't know that much about the types that 
exists at the moment.

I would like to have the following:
-   a nas disc with as good as  accessible interface (from osx, windows and 
iOS);
-   accessing the files from osx , windows and iOS;
-   the nas disc should also have the function of a time-machine backup 
disc;
-   I think a storage of at least 2tb should be possible?

Prices are not important at this moment.

Any hints are very welcome,

kind regards,
William Windels

keyboards with programable buttons?

[erik burggraaf]

Hi all,  I have a friend who wants to use his old dell wireless keyboard 
because it is far more tactile than modern keyboards and has a 150 ft range 
using radio frequency.  He has a question that I don't know the answer to.  Can 
he program the extra buttons on his keyboard?  The media controls work already, 
but the buttons he used on his pc for opening internet, mail, my computer and 
so on are dead.  Can I use karabiner or the built in keyboard shortcuts feature 
to program these extra buttons the way he wants them?

Also, I already installed karabiner on his mac.  Can I map the applications key 
to the right command key?

I can talk him through anything I know on the mac over the phone, but I don't 
have access to his keyboard.  So, I can't experiment on my own.

Thanks for any help.

Re: ShortCut Key to Open Notifications Area Question

[Alex Hall]

Yes, that gesture, and any other non-VO gestures, only work when Trackpad 
Commander is off.

To assign a shortcut to open NotificationCenter:

1. Open System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts tab.
2. Choose Mission Control from the first table.
3. In the second table, find Open Notification Center and give it the shortcut 
you want.

Re: Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

It's best to forget about Windows if you are using the Mac.  Just move what you 
don't want to the trash or use terminal to uninstall uncleanly.  If you wish to 
use terminal I'm sure some one will advise you what to do as it's a unix 
language and I have had help using it.

RE: accessible nas disc question

[M. Taylor]

Hello William,

Personally, I do not recommend NAS storage devices as their software
interface is proprietary. 

However, if this is what you want then I think the Western Digital MyCloud
series is among the best.  I've never had one go bad on me nor have any of
my friends.  In fact, I have two MyCloud NAS drives working on my home
network, right now.  Also, Western Digital customer service is excellent.
They really know their products.

I saw a 3TB MyCloud NAS drive at Best Buy 2 days ago for around $120.00.

Subject: accessible nas disc question

Hello,
I would like to buy a has disc.
It should be my first has disc and I don't know that much about the types
that exists at the moment.

I would like to have the following:
-   a nas disc with as good as  accessible interface (from osx, windows
and iOS);
-   accessing the files from osx , windows and iOS;
-   the nas disc should also have the function of a time-machine backup
disc;
-   I think a storage of at least 2tb should be possible?

Prices are not important at this moment.

Any hints are very welcome,

kind regards,
William Windels

RE: insert key remapping not working on right side of the keyboard under Fusion ...

[Scott Erichsen]

Hi Jeff,

 

Through some trial and error with JFW in Fusion, I found a couple
interesting things when working on a Mac keyboard with no number pad.

 

What I found was that when in Windows  in Fusion, turn on keyboard help with
Capslock+1 on the number row so you can play.

 

FN+semicolon, This should activate the JAWS cursor.

FN+slash  This will activate the PC cursor.

FN +CapsLock+semicolon  This is the route PC to JAWS

FN +CapsLock+slash  This will route Jaws to PC

 

Experiment with FN + the keys on the righthand side of the keyboard .  What
is happening is that the FN key + the keys on the righthand side of the
keyboard are acting as a numpad.  So, you can also find the combos to right
and left click and page up/pagedown just like on the numpad.

 

I do find this to be a pain and will take some getting used too, but, it
does work.

 

Try it out and good luck.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Scott

Jeff,

If you're running Seil, you don't need sharp keys.  Seil can remap the caps
lock key to the insert key.  Carabiner also gives you a numeric keypad which
you can access using the fn plus the keys on the right side (7 8 9 u i o j k
l m / ; p 0).

Hello Everyone,

 

OK, this is a very strange one and I am hoping someone can lend some advice
here.

 

I have a MacBook Pro running Fusion. I use Seil and Karabiner to remap my
caps lock key to the Insert key. I use SharpKeys to flip my alt and window
key mappings and all of this is working as I expect, with one exception.

 

I normally use a full sized Apple keyboard while at the office with a
numeric keypad on the right. So, this means that the caps lock key doesn't
play a role here for the most part and everything works well for me using
the JAWS desktop layout.

 

I have found that if I use the insert key on the numeric keypad or the caps
lock key while in Laptop mode that none of the keys past the J key work.
Meaning, I can do things like insert-t, caps lock plus s, etc., etc. but
anything on the right-hand side of the keyboard doesn't work.

 

Something interesting to note is that the laptop keys don't work whether
using caps lock or the insert key on the numeric keypad past the letter J.

 

Has anyone run into this issue at all? If so your advice is hugely
appreciated.

 

I am wondering if the newer versions of Karabiner or Seil have broken
something here?

 

Jeff

Re: blind square help.

[Feliciano G]

Once you have chosen a business or location, you should have the options start 
tracking and plan a route. You want to select plan a route so that you can use 
BlindSquare and the third-party application. If the  third-party isn't 
available on that view, you cannot use the app. Google Maps works great and it 
is free.

Re: blind square help.

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi there 
Somebody may have already said this, but you can pair Blind Square with Apple 
Maps as well, which is already on your iPhone. You need to decide whether you 
want Blind Square to tell each street you come to. If you are riding in a car, 
you may not want that. You can set this in Blind Square's settings section. I 
forgot to set that once, and I was sorry.

Re: Smart Mailboxes

[Jonathan Mosen]

To answer the original poster's question, I have experienced a number of 
annoyances in Mail under mavericks, but smart mailboxes are not one. For me 
they are working as well as they always have.
I like smart mailboxes a lot, and for business purposes they really help me to 
keep track of different projects easily. For example, I have a smart mailbox 
for each book and tutorial I have produced, where I keep purchase records and 
confirmation emails. It makes it easy for me to see who has purchased what, and 
if I need to, to contact everyone who purchased a product at once. Very nifty.
I don't think smart mailboxes are the best tool for putting messages from lists 
into a specific folder though. As someone else already pointed out, if you use 
a smart mailbox for this, the messages not only end up in the smart mailbox, 
but they also stay in your Inbox. I used to use mail rules to move email from 
specific lists into specific folders and that worked really well. Now that I 
have an accessible iMap provider, I use server-side rules to do this job, the 
advantage being that if I'm checking mail on an iThing, the mail appears in the 
correct folder even if Mail on the Mac isn't running, since the rules are 
server side.

Re: recording Skype calls

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Jenine, if you are going to be doing this sort of thing for broadcast 
purposes or for anything other than your own archival purposes, I'd highly 
recommend using Audio Highjack pro to record your Skype calls.
You can choose the file format you want to use. This is important, because most 
file formats are lossy. If you save a Skype call in a lossy format, like MP3 or 
something compressed, you will eventually have to bring it into a sound editor, 
where it will get edited, saved, and eventually compressed a second time to a 
lossy format. The more times you do this, the more artefacts you'll introduce 
to your recording. You can tell Audio Highjack to save in .aiff format, which 
is the Mac equivalent of a .wav file and is therefore completely uncompressed.I 
know you also use Amadeus Pro, so let me talk you through how I use the two 
together.
I set up Audio Highjack so that my voice is on one channel, and the Skype 
caller's voice is on the other. The advantage of doing this is that you can 
then bring the file into Amadeus Pro, and put each channel in a separate track. 
Once that's done, convert each track from a mono to a stereo track, and you 
have you and the Skype caller in both ears.
Because you are both on separate tracks, you can apply different effects as 
appropriate. For example, normalise each track separately so you are both 
sounding similar in volume. If the Skype caller sounds too bright or too dull, 
you can apply equalisation just to the caller, and not to you.
Finally, if you wish, you can pan each track to get a stereo effect. Then when 
you're done getting things sounding just how you want, mix it all down back 
onto one stereo track.
It sounds a bit complicated writing it down, but i do this all the time and now 
it's just a routine.
The other advantage of Audio Highjack is that it isn't specific to Skype. I use 
it to record FaceTime Audio calls and calls from more obscure chat programmes 
where appropriate, so it's a very powerful tool that doesn't lock you in.
And finally, while I am not testing Yosemite, I would think Audio Hijack will 
work with the new continuity features of iOS 8 and Yosemite. This means you can 
make a call on your iPhone, and record it on your Mac with Audio Hijack. If you 
have a carrier that offers HD Voice for instance, then you'll get brilliant 
sound doing that.
Hope that's of some help. Audio Hijack is one of the coolest things about a Mac 
I reckon.

RE: accessible nas disc question

[Kliphton Senior]

Yes, have to agree with mark here.  I have a my cloud 4 EX from western
digital.  16TB, on my network.  This is where I store my 7TB iTunes
library of   music, TV shows, and movies.  A lot of people who use this one
set it up in rade mode, so they will have a copy of what they have on there.
I am stingy, I like using all 16TB of the nas, so I back my media and
important documents up on 2 4TB USB hard drives that I only plug up when I
am backing something up.  But yes, westn digital is very accessible.  I use
it to stream movies to my iPhone and iPad when I am on business across the

Hello William,

Personally, I do not recommend NAS storage devices as their software
interface is proprietary. 

However, if this is what you want then I think the Western Digital MyCloud
series is among the best.  I've never had one go bad on me nor have any of
my friends.  In fact, I have two MyCloud NAS drives working on my home
network, right now.  Also, Western Digital customer service is excellent.
They really know their products.

I saw a 3TB MyCloud NAS drive at Best Buy 2 days ago for around $120.00.

I would like to have the following:

-   I think a storage of at least 2tb should be possible?

Prices are not important at this moment.

Any hints are very welcome,

I also use an off site backup called Lastpass and a time machine backup as

Re: Good and accessible NAS anyone?

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Krister, if you have access to sighted assistance for the initial set-up, I 
can recommend the Synology products highly. Their iOS apps are wonderful. So 
for day to day use, it's really good. Administration is right now a dreadful 
business, unless you don't mind the command line. I will paste below a post 
from my blog at:
http://mosen.org/index.php/my-new-synology-nas-great-product-nasty-accessibility/
While I am constrained in what I can say, I will say that since this post was 
published, I have had extremely productive dialogue with Synology and I am 
confident the access issues are temporary.
My new Synology NAS. Great product, NASty accessibility
30/05/2014 by Jonathan Mosen 
A chance remark by a friend of mine a few weeks ago saw me embarking on quite a 
journey. He asked me if I had one of the Synology NAS (network attached 
storage) devices. When I indicated that not only did I not have one, but I 
wasn't familiar with that manufacturer, he launched into quite a soliloquy 
about how incredible they were, and how having one was like having your own 
Linux-based server in your house. My friend Gordon knows his tech, so I decided 
to bring myself up to speed.
Coincidentally, we had this conversation just as the idea of the Mosen Channel 
was crystallising. I've kept a lot of my terrestrial and Internet radio shows 
over the years, mainly so I can pass them on to subsequent generations of my 
family. As I was going through the extensive archives, I was reminded about a 
glaring flaw in my backup strategy. I take backing up very seriously, but one 
area where my approach fell short was that there was no off-site backup. If my 
main network drive failed, I have copies of my irreplaceable data in other 
locations, but all those locations were in my house. Having a backup elsewhere 
would guard against data loss in the case of some sort of disaster. I'm not so 
concerned with music I could get again, but it's the personal mementos, not 
just radio stuff but home recordings of my kids, that I really care about.
When researching this question, I finally found a few back-up services that 
would allow you to back up network attached storage to the cloud. Not many do, 
and quite a few that do charge a premium for the feature. These services varied 
widely in their accessibility, and I didn't like having the application running 
in the background all the time. Some of them impacted quite markedly on system 
performance. They also demonstrated just how easy it was for the NAS I was 
using, the Western Digital MyBook Live, to get bogged down. The processor in it 
is on the old side now, and if a couple of Time Machine backups and another 
cloud backup package were writing to the drive, it was affecting data access.
The Synology Disk Station products are powered by their own operating system, 
Disk Station Manager (DSM for short). When I started to research the feature 
set of DSM, I was delighted to learn that by installing a number of packages, 
which effectively are apps for the OS, Synology Disk Stations can be backed up 
to a number of cloud services, including Amazon Glacier. Glacier is an 
extremely cheap form of mass-storage, designed for occasional retrieval, so 
it's ideal for making a cheap backup of last resort.
I was impressed to read glowing reviews of Synology Disk Stations by almost 
everybody. Many IT people I trust said Synology make the best NAS products on 
the market, period.
Looking at the wide range of models of Disk Station available, it reminded me a 
bit of Nokia's Symbian days. There are quite a few models with subtle 
differences and models full of numbers and letters. Synology offers a handy 
feature on their site where you can indicate what features are important to 
you, and you get a narrowed down list of products based on your specifications.
Having done some reading, I placed my order for my first Synology product last 
week, and promptly cancelled it. My usual rule of thumb is that after 
researching a product range and determining what I'll buy, I make the purchase 
online, and busy myself reading the user guide and doing whatever research I 
can until the product arrives.
Right after placing the order, I stumbled upon a very helpful feature on the 
Synology website. You can actually log in to one of their NAS devices, and 
experience the user interface for yourself.
To do this, visit http://demo.synology.com:5000. The username is admin, and the 
password is synology. You're then working in a real drive, with a few of the 
functions disabled for security reasons.
After logging in, I was confronted with what I can only nicely call the 
significant accessibility challenges of the DSM user interface. With a bit of 
JAWS cursor work and some judicious pressing of Enter on clickable elements, 
quite a bit can be done. It seems to work far better in Firefox than it does in 
IE. However, one of the most significant issues is that checkboxes and radio 
buttons are non-standard, and

Re: recording Skype calls

Thanks Jonathan. 

Actually what you describe doesn't sound that tedious or complex and would be 
quite cool if it works, which it obviously does. 

Do you need to use another program, Sound Flower I think, to also set this 
whole thing up or is that only if you want to record your Mac's audio as well? 
No idea why I'd want to do that but just saying. :)

Re: recording Skype calls

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Jenine, I have a mixer, so no need for SoundFlower therefore I have no 
knowledge of it.
However for recording calls, Audio Highjack is all you need.

Server-side mail sorting (was Smart Mailboxes)

[Alex Hall]

Gmail absolutely does do server-side rules. They're called filters, and you can 
use them to sort messages just like Jonathan was saying.

google maps, which I had a love/hate relationship with, mostly because it 
didn't let me know when I'd reached my destination, which was frustrating for

smtp mail port settings in apple mail

I have an account i'm trying to set up under apple mail. This provider doesn't 
use ssl.  I can receive mail just fine, but can't locate the port number or 
optional login info for the smtp (outgoing) side of things.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to get to the smtp settings using 
vo.   I'm writing this on my braille sense mini until I get the smtp set up 
correctly.  

Thanks,
Don

I've been using Procmail for this for a very long time. One of its advantages
is that you can run shell commands to process incoming mail messages,
for example to invoke spam filters, trigger automatic replies, etc.

Procmail hasn't seen any development for a long time; apparently, Maildrop is
a more modern replacement and at some point I should rewrite my rules to use
it instead.

Re: Smart Mailboxes

[Joshua Tubbs]

I'll tell you one thing: I wish I could find a client that is more reliable. 
When I set up my Droid tablet, for some reason suddenly Mail stopped 
downloading Gmail messages, so I tried syncing accounts, reinstalling mail 
again, etc.
Anyone have any ideas?

Trouble downloading/deleting TV show from iTunes store

[Christine Grassman]

OK, folks. I purchased season 1 of a television show from iTunes today on my 
iPhone. I was only able to download single episodes. I attempted to download 
the season onto my computer by going to my account on my MacBook, but it 
claimed there were no undownloaded items.
When I selected "TV shows" in iTunes, it shows the name of the show, but I 
cannot get to individual episodes.
Additionally, I cannot delete episodes I have watched already from "Videos" on 
my iPhone; again, it is only showing the title of the show, but will not allow 
me to edit by episode. (I can view individual episodes, but not edit.)
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Re: blind square help.

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi Jessica 
When it says Maps, I think it means Apple Maps. Blind Square will tell you when 
you read your destination if you set it to talk along with the other GPS 
program. I think another option to telling Blind Square not to run at the same 
time would be to turn off streets first if you were in a car and didn't want to 
hear every street. You could set it for My Places, and then it should tell you 
when you got there, even if the other GPS didn't. I believe I am correct on 
that.

Re: smtp mail port settings in apple mail

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

In Mail Preferences, Accounts, select the pertinent account.  In the Account 
Information tab, navigate to the Outgoing Server area.  You should see a pop-up 
menu there.  Activate it and choose Edit SMTP Server list.  In that dialog, 
there will be a list of your SMTP Servers along with  two tabs, one with 
general info named Account Information and the Advanced pane where you can 
manipulate SSL, Port settings and more.

Later...

 Hi,
 
 Most people who are really in to backing up their data believe that three

 automatically. I use SuperDuper and make a bootable clone of my computer 
 once a week. I also subscribe to an off sight backup service called Back

 Time Machine is good for retrieving a file that you deleted by mistake. A 
 clone is good if your hard disk fails and you need to quickly get up and 
 running. Offsight backups are good if something happens to your local 
 backup.
 
 All of the solutions that I have mentioned worked well with VoiceOver.

Re: Trouble downloading/deleting TV show from iTunes store

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

On your Mac, make sure that "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" is checked 
from within the Store pane of your iTunes Preferences.  When this is checked, 
you will have the option to download purchases that are stored in iCloud to 
your Mac.  I find it best to have the TV show in List view.  The Download 
button will normally present itself just to the right of the TV Show title.  
Checking for undownloaded purchases is a different kettle of fish.  The only 
time you can download the entire season is if you purchase the TV seasons from 
your Mac.  When you do this, iTunes will bring up a dialog that says that your 
purchase is ready to be downloaded, do you want to download the first episode, 
all episodes or to leave them to download later.  Use the method outlined above 
to download at a later time.

With respect to your iPhone and the Videos app.  The app will list all episodes 
available to you that you've purchased through iTunes.  If you have downloaded 
any of them, those episodes can be deleted with an upwards swipe when in the 
list of episodes.  The upwards swipe will announce "Delete", simply double-tap 
to activate this action.  If they are simply being listed as episodes that 
you've purchased, thus available to view or download, then I don't believe the 
delete action is available.  If you don't want them listed at all, you'd likely 
need to hide them from iTunes on your Mac.

HTH.

Later...
