I think I am going to do podcasts and put them up on Apple Viz.  I still need 
to talk with the Apple Viz team yet to be sure it’s okay to put those up.

Following a user with Yorufukuru

2014-12-29 Thread Edward Green

Hi,

Please could someone give me step-by-step instructions for following a user 
with Yorufukuru?

I have found the user I wish to follow with command u, and have pressed the 
Drawer button on the toolbar.  However, when I select a tweet from the table, I 
can’t seem to find a user actions menu.

Many thanks,

Ed

Audio restoration of old cassettes

2014-12-29 Thread Mike Busboom

Greetings to all of you,

I have a large cassette library of recordings that I started making in the 
early 70s, and I want to digitize them.  I have already transferred many of 
them to .wav files but for storage constraints, I already have converted many 
of them, hiss, crackles and all, to MP3.

None of these cassettes was recorded in stereo; I didn’t even own a stereo 
microphone at the time.

I recently purchased Amadeus Pro, and it has a built-in plug-in for dealing 
with cassettes.  However, I think I am screwing up on the normalization process 
and what levels to set volume, etc.  It is obvious that I am an amateur at 
this.  What I want to do is remove the hiss, as well as the loud volume that 
occurs for about 1/10 second after a pause in the audio.  Can this be 
accomplished with Amadeus Pro as is, or do I need to buy something else?  One 
very helpful person who occasionally posts to this list, recommended a program 
called RS, but he seemed to lament the company’s plans for future versions, 
where accessibility is concerned.  If Amadeus Pro will do what I need, then I 
suspect that I wouldn’t need RS.

If anyone can give me the best parameters for working with Amadeus Pro or 
thoughts using a different approach or different program, I’d be grateful.

Many thanks in advance,

Mike

You're close. Instead of pressing the drawer, interact with it (vo-shift-down). 
Vo-right until you find the User Actions menu, vo-space, down arrow to the 
Following Status submenu and right arrow to open it, and choose Follow.

Re: GarageBand

2014-12-29 Thread Todor Fassl

Slightly off topic. But here is a link to a program I help to develop 
that takes a set of mp3 files and generates a podcast feed xml document 
from them. It works on my IBook Pro.


http://www.iavit.org/~john/elpoddo/

You can actually run it on your Mac and copy the xml document and the 
mp3 files to where ever they will be downloaded from. In other words, 
you don't have to run it on the podcast server itself. I'd be willing to 
help with that.

 I was given a 120 gig Thunderbolt SSD drive for Christmas.  I have

 no power jack, so I assume the SSD drive will take power from the cable.  
 Trouble is, the drive does not show up, either when I go to my computer

Re: Audio restoration of old cassettes

2014-12-29 Thread Cameron Strife

Hi. Normalizing audio will not help with hiss, pops, or clicks etc.

I could edit the beginning and endings of your audio files and also
clean them up for a reasonable fee. feel free to shoot me an e mail
off list if that would interest you.

Thanks,

Cameron.

 I have a large cassette library of recordings that I started making in the

 I recently purchased Amadeus Pro, and it has a built-in plug-in for dealing

 this be accomplished with Amadeus Pro as is, or do I need to buy something

 recommended a program called RS, but he seemed to lament the company's plans
 for future versions, where accessibility is concerned.  If Amadeus Pro will
 do what I need, then I suspect that I wouldn't need RS.

 If anyone can give me the best parameters for working with Amadeus Pro or
 thoughts using a different approach or different program, I'd be grateful.

 Many thanks in advance,

Moreover, netflics, Hulu and other apps apple tv offers is very accessible and

Hi dear friends.
I’m also on GMT+1 zone and I appreciate the possibility to take participation 
in a Voice chat too.
But I think that first of all it is necessary to fix all the knledge base in 
something that is durable and always available to everybody, like a podcast.
The Voice Chat could be useful to go deeper in some aspects of the covered 
topics.

In my opinion we also must agree to all subscribe an accessibility report to 
submit to the Apple A. Team in order to remark this software inaccessibilities, 
which are quite serious.
I’m pretty sure that GB 6 is more blind friendly that this new 10.x thought 
this new one has some interesting features. I think Apple should work on it in 
order to improve its accessibility that is nowadays not so good.

Gabriel.

VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

my MacBook Air because of everyone's responses.  Here we are several
years later and I would like to know if Bootcamp is still the best
decision if I want to run Windows 7 or 8 and JAWS 15 or 16 on my

Mac app of the year so that is why the question now.

 Hi folks,
 Is bluetooth meant to be on for this to work. I have not managed to get hand 
 off or continuity to work between anything. I can get calls on my Mac from 
 my iPhone, but handoff has never worked for me. Everything is signed into 
 the same iCloud account and on the same wifi. 
 It's very odd. I'm wondering if bluetooth has something to do with it.
 How do I know if handoff is working? Where does it appear on the Mac?
 Thanks for any thoughts.

I haven't updated, should I?

2014-12-29 Thread Traci Duncan

Hello, I have a Macbook Air Summer 2011.  I am running Mavericks, what are your 
thoughts on updating to Yosemitie?

Really, the only reason I’m thinking of updating, is because the Mac app store 
won’t let me update any apps.  Otherwise, I don’t know what Yosemitie has to 
offer me, and I hate the idea of VoiceOver being sluggish.

Thanks for the advice.

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread Eileen Misrahi

Hi, 

This is totally personal preference. It alldepends on how much you will use the 
Windows side. For me, I am still out on the fence which way I'll go this time. 
I had BootCamp installed on my MacBook Air 2013, but needed to wipe out the 
entire machine because of a horrific hack Window side. The one advantage with 
VM Fusion is that if the Windows side gets corrupted or a virus and you had 
backed up all the settings in VM Fusion after installing Windows and all the 
software and cloned it, you could access this clone instead of starting all 
over. The positive about installing Windows on to BootCamp is that you are 
using all of the RAM, and power in one operating system and not sharing the 
resources. This is my understanding and if someone with more knowledge is 
welcomed to correct any or all of what I have posted that would be great. HTH.

Re: creating podcast feed, was Finder Podcast Part 1

2014-12-29 Thread 'Sean Paul' via MacVisionaries

Distrubuting your content amongst friends is perfectly fine. What is not 
fine is distributing it as a podcast, on twitter for the world to get, etc. 
The sourse of my information is their terms of service  contact a friend of 
mine who was using them as a distribution platform had with their people.

Hi Sean,

Could you perhaps post the source of your information? I was always under 
the impression that sharing your own content was absolutely permitted in the 
Dropbox TOS, and in fact is one of the core features of the service.

Here is an article where Dropbox specifically tells you how to create shared 
links to distribute files to others: 
https://blog.dropbox.com/2012/04/share-your-stuff-with-a-link/

Here is another article where Dropbox discusses troubleshooting shared 
links. They specifically state that you can share content like photos and 
music that you personally created: https://www.dropbox.com/help/45

In this article, Dropbox says that shared links for free accounts can 
generate up to 20 gigabytes per day or 100,000 total downloads before being 
temporarily disabled, while paid accounts get 200 gigabytes per day and no 
hard limit on the number of downloads. https://www.dropbox.com/help/4204

Of course, you can’t share others’ copyrighted content but it sure seems to 
me that Dropbox allows you to share your own content. There may be a clause 
in the acceptable usage policy or in the TOS that prohibits you from using 
Dropbox to host your own podcasts, but I don’t recall seeing such a clause. 
Dropbox is definitely more than just a storage service as sharing and 
collaboration are core features of the product.

A while back, I posted a message about creating a podcast feed 
automatically using folder actions.

Well, after trying, I could not get it to work.
so I whent back to the drawing board and found a web site that will 
generate the feed for you.

All you have to do is register for a free account.
enter the link to your podcast files add titles and descriptions then 
download the feed that it will generate.
Now upload the feed to your web site that hosts your podcast and you are 
ready.

I have been testing DropBox to host my podcast and so far its going well.

Don’t think this is possible.  YOu can have iTunes point to different

Re: Using Braille Embosser with a Mini Mac Developments.

Hello.Here is some information which everyone might be interested in with
developments to embossing on the Mac etc.

I came across this in a Newsletter from Sight and Sound Technology which is
based in the UK.

Braille embossing direct from your computer
To use a Braille embosser / Braille printer, Braille translation software [also
known as a Braille converter or Braille Editor] is needed in order to convert
to braille.

Background

Braille software (or embedded hardware) converts electronic text documents to
braille code; or in instances of commercial braille transcription capabilities,
braille to text. From these electronic documents a refreshable Braille display
can present tactile Braille or a Braille embosser can produce a hard-copy on
thicker paper (sometimes called braille paper).

Varying between languages, text is translated to literal or contracted Braille,
and this is generally why braille translation software is needed.

Commonly used software for translation to braille are Duxbury, MegaDots, Euler,
Dolphin EasyConverter, Braille 2000 etc. all of which are available for
purchase. Open source Braille translation programs include Liblouis
(Odt2Braille) and NFBTrans. Some more commercially advanced braille software
include techniques for creating math, tactile graphics, and Braille music.

Generally, when a braille embosser / braille printer is purchased, braille
translation software is also needed for purchase due to the limited resources
available for free. Additional embossing limits are seen when using Linux or
Mac; for example there currently are no braille translators offering good
compatibility for such operating systems.

The breakthrough

However, now available for the first time ever is Index-direct-Braille (idB) in
which allows braille embossing direct from your computer, for free. This means,
without the use of an external and expensive braille translation software,
braille conversion can be completed instantly from a word or PDF file.

Index-direct-Braille is available free of charge and supports all models of the
Index V4 embosser line http://www.indexbraille.com/en-us/braille-embossers.

About Index-direct-Braille

With Index-direct-Braille
http://www.indexbraille.com/en-us/support/braille-editor-software/index-direct-braille
you may simplify the process of producing Braille with your Index Braille V4
embosser. Easily print Braille directly from your Mac or Linux computer
system's editor or via right clicking on your PDF/Doc file in Windows; it's
that easy.
The Index-direct-Braille program is again, free of charge, and supports all
models of the Index V4 embosser line with the latest firmware version 1.5.3.
Currently supported Operation Systems
Windows 7 and 8 (XP Vista)
Linux Ubuntu
Mac OS X
The text to Braille translation is made by the embosser processor following the
settings of the page layout, duplexing, Liblouis translation language etc.
During the translation/formatting process the embosser will repeatedly beep to
notify the user about the ongoing process.
Index-direct-Braille is using the Liblouis text-to-braille translation system
and all languages published by Liblouis are available in the embosser with the
firmware update. Currently more than 140 languages in Grade 1 or Grade 2
Braille.
Index-direct-Braille is made for the brailling of documents in which may
consist of headers, text and bullet lists following the Liblouis formatting
system. More advanced features may be added later on.
Interested in braille samples embossed using Index-direct-Braille and an Index
V4 embosser? Request a braille sample
http://www.indexbraille.com/en-us/braille-embossers/request-braille-sample

What is Index-direct-Braille?

A built in program within the Index V4 embosser in which receives and
translates text to Grade 1 and Grade 2 Braille, additionally formatting and
adding page numbers to the document.

How to use it (Windows):
Install your Index Braille V4 embosser as normal; including the set-up of page
size, margins, and duplexing. Select the Braille translation form (ex. English
Grade 2) from the front Menu panel of the embosser.
Right click the unopened file
Select Index direct Braille
Select your Index Braille V4 embosser model
The Index V4 embosser will receive the file; translate and format [to the set
page format previously setup in the embosser].
The embosser will begin embossing.
Currently supported file types:
Doc (including Doc book format)
PDF
TXT

Hello, I have a Macbook Air Summer 2011.  I am running Mavericks, what are 
your thoughts on updating to Yosemitie?

Really, the only reason I’m thinking of updating, is because the Mac app 
store won’t let me update any apps.  Otherwise, I don’t know what Yosemitie 
has to offer me, and I hate the idea of VoiceOver being sluggish.

Thanks for the advice.

Re: Hand off

2014-12-29 Thread John Panarese

   Yosemite for the Mac and iOS 8.X are required on your devices.  You have to 
turn it on in System preferences in the General Pane.  Also be sure Bluetooth 
is enabled and you are signed into iCloud with the same account on all devices. 
 You also have to have it turned on on the other devices.  If all of this is 
done, you should be able to find any applications in the Dock that are being 
handed off from another device.  Equally so, in the lock screen of the iDevice, 
there will be the name of an app or apps that can be handed off for use there.

Re: Hand off

Hello John.

As you say one has to be signed in to I Cloud, bluetooth enabled etc, but, 
let’s say when I see the hand off badge in my Mac be it the Mac mini or I Mac, 
both devices respectively, I Mac, late 2012 and Mac Mini 2014, the latest one 
out.  So I locate my mail which is hand off, but I can’t find the message that 
I might be composing which I stopped writing using my I Phone 6 plus.  I hope 
you understand what I am saying, I get the Hand off Icon and get into the 
program such as mail but can’t locate my message that I’m composing.  Any ideas?

Kawal.

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread David Taylor

Hi,

I would add a few things to this. If you use Fusion, you can keep a backup of 
your VM, or VMs anywhere you like, so even if you have to reinstall OS X from 
scratch, you don’t have to lose your VM, or have it backed up by Time Machine. 
You can share files and folders  between the two, and largely protect your 
Windows from hacks by staying Mac side until you actually need Windows. You can 
also take snapshots of your VM to which you can return should anything ever go 
wrong with it, and these really do fix a lot of problems. You can also easily 
manage your keyboard in Fusion so that you have pretty much a native Windows 
experience while in Windows if you wish. The time to think about Bootcamp is if 
you want to do something you know can cause problems in Fusion, or if you don’t 
switch between systems much or can’t afford Fusion.

Cheers
Dave

Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Hi list,
Today, I purchased the first season of an audio drama I have been following in 
podcast form for years. It was around $20, and my iTunes balance has been 
reduced by that amount. However, on my Mac, I can't seem to find the book - it 
looks like I have no purchased audio books at all. On iOS, in the iTunes Store 
app, I can't figure out how to look at purchases. I have gone to View Apple 
ID, but there's no purchase history in there except the show hidden 
purchases link that doesn't show much of anything. On the Mac, in iTunes, the 
purchase history screen appears to be inaccessible, so that's no help.

Bottom line: where's my $20 book, how do I listen to it if I can find it, and 
how do I view my purchase history on the Mac or iPhone? Thanks for any help, 
and sorry if I sound frustrated.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Alex,

When in Music view with Playlists selected, go to the Purchased playlist and 
see if it shows up there.  Beyond that, do you have Audio Books checked in the 
View menu so that any Audio Books will show up in the grid or list?

Later...

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

Another advantage of VMware is if you have Jaws on your Window machine, you 
will not lose the licence as you can cut and paste your Windows Virtual machine 
anywhere you like.  As long as you tell your VMware that you moved the machine 
and not done anything else with it, you will not lose your life when using 
Jaws.  I hope I have this correct.

If however, you were to put windows on Boot camp, you could lose your jaws 
licence if you were to format your Mac.  I hope I have this right as well as 
I’ve only used VMware and have no experience of Boot camp.  Can you still not 
install Windows via boot camp without sighted assistance?

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

2014-12-29 Thread Donna Goodin

Hi Alex,

The View purchased items screen is accessible, but it's kind of messy.  This is 
what I do.

With the iTunes store open, bring up the item chooser and search for the word 
purchase.  Click on the first result, which I think is Purchased.  You'll then 
have a series of Tabs where you can choose the type of content you want to 
view.  You can also enter a term into the search field.  To the far right is an 
HTML area.  Interact with that, and the content you have selected should be 
displayed, along with a button to download items that are not already 
downloaded.  Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Alex,

One more thing you may wish to do is to ensure that the Show iTunes in the 
Cloud Purchases checkbox is checked.  This is found in the Store pane of your 
iTunes Preferences.  Occasionally, the download option doesn’t automatically 
pop-up after purchasing something, thus, the purchase is available, just left 
up in the Cloud.  When this box is checked, there is usually a download button 
available to the right of the book title when in iTunes in List view.

Later...

 Hi Alex,
 
 The View purchased items screen is accessible, but it's kind of messy.  This

 With the iTunes store open, bring up the item chooser and search for the word 
 purchase.  Click on the first result, which I think is Purchased.  You'll 
 then have a series of Tabs where you can choose the type of content you want 
 to view.  You can also enter a term into the search field.  To the far right 
 is an HTML area.  Interact with that, and the content you have selected 
 should be displayed, along with a button to download items that are not

 Hi list,
 Today, I purchased the first season of an audio drama I have been following 
 in podcast form for years. It was around $20, and my iTunes balance has been 
 reduced by that amount. However, on my Mac, I can't seem to find the book - 
 it looks like I have no purchased audio books at all. On iOS, in the iTunes 
 Store app, I can't figure out how to look at purchases. I have gone to View 
 Apple ID, but there's no purchase history in there except the show hidden 
 purchases link that doesn't show much of anything. On the Mac, in iTunes, 
 the purchase history screen appears to be inaccessible, so that's no help.
 
 Bottom line: where's my $20 book, how do I listen to it if I can find it, 
 and how do I view my purchase history on the Mac or iPhone? Thanks for any 
 help, and sorry if I sound frustrated.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Thanks for the quick responses.

I've now checked the option to view cloud purchases, but nothing new appears. 
I've looked in the my audio books radio button and the Purchased playlist. I 
do have audio books enabled in the View menu in case that was necessary.

The purchase history is behaving oddly. VoiceOver sees it as loading iTunes 
store, HTML content and thinks it is empty. Yet, the Item Chooser can see it 
just fine, and tabbing moves me through the different buttons. I just can't 
actually look at the information; when I try, I hear a movement sound and then 
nothing, so I try vo-right again and am on the Close button in iTunes. If I 
interact with the HTML area, I'm told it is empty and nothing else happens. 
Obviously it isn't empty, but VoiceOver thinks it is. I've turned VO off and 
back on, and I've closed iTunes. Yes, this is all on the same Apple Id (I only 
have one, so I know it is). I'm stumped, and reminded why I never, ever use 
iTunes if I can avoid it.

 Hi list,
 Today, I purchased the first season of an audio drama I have been following 
 in podcast form for years. It was around $20, and my iTunes balance has 
 been reduced by that amount. However, on my Mac, I can't seem to find the 
 book - it looks like I have no purchased audio books at all. On iOS, in the 
 iTunes Store app, I can't figure out how to look at purchases. I have gone 
 to View Apple ID, but there's no purchase history in there except the 
 show hidden purchases link that doesn't show much of anything. On the 
 Mac, in iTunes, the purchase history screen appears to be inaccessible, so 
 that's no help.
 
 Bottom line: where's my $20 book, how do I listen to it if I can find it, 
 and how do I view my purchase history on the Mac or iPhone? Thanks for any 
 help, and sorry if I sound frustrated.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Also did you check in your menus uder store (using vo-m and going over to 
store and down for available downloads? It seems to me that when I bought a tv 
show the spisodes didn't download automatically. I realize yours is not a tv 
show but it's possible it isn't downloading automatically for some reason

Thanks for the quick responses.

I've now checked the option to view cloud purchases, but nothing new appears. 
I've looked in the my audio books radio button and the Purchased playlist. I 
do have audio books enabled in the View menu in case that was necessary.

The purchase history is behaving oddly. VoiceOver sees it as loading iTunes 
store, HTML content and thinks it is empty. Yet, the Item Chooser can see it 
just fine, and tabbing moves me through the different buttons. I just can't 
actually look at the information; when I try, I hear a movement sound and then 
nothing, so I try vo-right again and am on the Close button in iTunes. If I 
interact with the HTML area, I'm told it is empty and nothing else happens. 
Obviously it isn't empty, but VoiceOver thinks it is. I've turned VO off and 
back on, and I've closed iTunes. Yes, this is all on the same Apple Id (I only 
have one, so I know it is). I'm stumped, and reminded why I never, ever use 
iTunes if I can avoid it.

 Alex,
 
 One more thing you may wish to do is to ensure that the Show iTunes in the 
 Cloud Purchases checkbox is checked.  This is found in the Store pane of your 
 iTunes Preferences.  Occasionally, the download option doesn’t automatically 
 pop-up after purchasing something, thus, the purchase is available, just left 
 up in the Cloud.  When this box is checked, there is usually a download 
 button available to the right of the book title when in iTunes in List view.

 Hi Alex,
 
 The View purchased items screen is accessible, but it's kind of messy.  This

 With the iTunes store open, bring up the item chooser and search for the

 You'll then have a series of Tabs where you can choose the type of content 
 you want to view.  You can also enter a term into the search field.  To the

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread Eileen Misrahi

Hi,

to answer the question about installing Windows in BootCamp without sighted 
assistance still stands and requires sighted assistance. I know there has been 
some discussion about using a talking installer, but it's only for a 32 bit 
machine. Regarding the JAWS license, if you are out of authorization keys, you 
can contact Freedom Scientific and they will load more into your account. I 
can't speak in regards to VM Fusion because I have only BootCamp my machine 
once and will probably go that route again. HTH.

 Another advantage of VMware is if you have Jaws on your Window machine, you 
 will not lose the licence as you can cut and paste your Windows Virtual 
 machine anywhere you like.  As long as you tell your VMware that you moved 
 the machine and not done anything else with it, you will not lose your life 
 when using Jaws.  I hope I have this correct.
 
 If however, you were to put windows on Boot camp, you could lose your jaws 
 licence if you were to format your Mac.  I hope I have this right as well as 
 I’ve only used VMware and have no experience of Boot camp.  Can you still not 
 install Windows via boot camp without sighted assistance?

 Hi,
 
 I would add a few things to this. If you use Fusion, you can keep a backup 
 of your VM, or VMs anywhere you like, so even if you have to reinstall OS X 
 from scratch, you don’t have to lose your VM, or have it backed up by Time 
 Machine. You can share files and folders  between the two, and largely 
 protect your Windows from hacks by staying Mac side until you actually need 
 Windows. You can also take snapshots of your VM to which you can return 
 should anything ever go wrong with it, and these really do fix a lot of 
 problems. You can also easily manage your keyboard in Fusion so that you 
 have pretty much a native Windows experience while in Windows if you wish. 
 The time to think about Bootcamp is if you want to do something you know can 
 cause problems in Fusion, or if you don’t switch between systems much or 
 can’t afford Fusion.

I currently have 4 gigs on my mac mini

 Is bluetooth meant to be on for this to work. I have not managed to get 
 hand off or continuity to work between anything. I can get calls on my

 signed into the same iCloud account and on the same wifi. 
 It's very odd. I'm wondering if bluetooth has something to do with it.
 How do I know if handoff is working? Where does it appear on the Mac?
 Thanks for any thoughts.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Okay, here's something else to try.

Select the itunes store radio button and type the name of what you purchased in 
the search field and press enter. For me, this came up and showed it as in my 
library. But I still couldn't actually find it until I then chose the right 
radio button for it, in this case, tv shows. I would be sure to look at the 
options including the pop-up that shows more. It is always possible that you 
are looking for it under audiobooks but it is acgtually classified as something 
else that is showing up in the more pop-up.

 Thanks for the quick responses.
 
 I've now checked the option to view cloud purchases, but nothing new appears. 
 I've looked in the my audio books radio button and the Purchased playlist. 
 I do have audio books enabled in the View menu in case that was necessary.
 
 The purchase history is behaving oddly. VoiceOver sees it as loading iTunes 
 store, HTML content and thinks it is empty. Yet, the Item Chooser can see it 
 just fine, and tabbing moves me through the different buttons. I just can't 
 actually look at the information; when I try, I hear a movement sound and 
 then nothing, so I try vo-right again and am on the Close button in iTunes. 
 If I interact with the HTML area, I'm told it is empty and nothing else 
 happens. Obviously it isn't empty, but VoiceOver thinks it is. I've turned VO 
 off and back on, and I've closed iTunes. Yes, this is all on the same Apple 
 Id (I only have one, so I know it is). I'm stumped, and reminded why I never, 
 ever use iTunes if I can avoid it.

 Alex,
 
 One more thing you may wish to do is to ensure that the Show iTunes in the 
 Cloud Purchases checkbox is checked.  This is found in the Store pane of 
 your iTunes Preferences.  Occasionally, the download option doesn’t 
 automatically pop-up after purchasing something, thus, the purchase is 
 available, just left up in the Cloud.  When this box is checked, there is 
 usually a download button available to the right of the book title when in 
 iTunes in List view.

 Hi Alex,
 
 The View purchased items screen is accessible, but it's kind of messy.  
 This is what I do.
 
 With the iTunes store open, bring up the item chooser and search for the 
 word purchase.  Click on the first result, which I think is Purchased.  
 You'll then have a series of Tabs where you can choose the type of content 
 you want to view.  You can also enter a term into the search field.  To the 
 far right is an HTML area.  Interact with that, and the content you have 
 selected should be displayed, along with a button to download items that 
 are not already downloaded.  Hope this helps.

 Hi list,
 Today, I purchased the first season of an audio drama I have been 
 following in podcast form for years. It was around $20, and my iTunes 
 balance has been reduced by that amount. However, on my Mac, I can't seem 
 to find the book - it looks like I have no purchased audio books at all. 
 On iOS, in the iTunes Store app, I can't figure out how to look at 
 purchases. I have gone to View Apple ID, but there's no purchase history 
 in there except the show hidden purchases link that doesn't show much of 
 anything. On the Mac, in iTunes, the purchase history screen appears to be 
 inaccessible, so that's no help.
 
 Bottom line: where's my $20 book, how do I listen to it if I can find it, 
 and how do I view my purchase history on the Mac or iPhone? Thanks for any 
 help, and sorry if I sound frustrated.

 Hi folks,
 Is bluetooth meant to be on for this to work. I have not managed to get 
 hand off or continuity to work between anything. I can get calls on my 
 Mac from my iPhone, but handoff has never worked for me. Everything is 
 signed into the same iCloud account and on the same wifi. 
 It's very odd. I'm wondering if bluetooth has something to do with it.
 How do I know if handoff is working? Where does it appear on the Mac?
 Thanks for any thoughts.

windows 8.1 on bootcamp with mac mini 2012 not working with usb audio?

2014-12-29 Thread Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona

Hello I had to get sighted help getting windows back on to my bootcamp 
sset up

whone thing that I am running in to and I have no idea why this is happening
en I go to install windows I am using the talking installation and got 
windows started how ever once it instals and gets to the set up screen 
where you normally turn on narator this is where usb audio refuses to 
work what so ever

tried 2 different usb sound cards, and a usb head set
I know these devices work because I was able to get windows started 
using the talking installer and it worked fine.
only thing I can think of is that usb audio is not supported on the mac 
mini 2012 models, can any one confirm if this is the case on these 
models of mac mini or could there be something that I can do for future 
installations?

Re: Hand off

Also, here's one that will help if part of your drama was actually downloaded 
upon purchase. Open your home directory in finder, and from there open Music  
iTunes  iTunes Media. Then look in the folders that may be the right category 
for your purchase. Maybe you already did that; I'm just trying to think of as 
many possibilities as I can.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Alex,

It appears that I’ve given you false info that doesn’t apply to Audio Books.  
In doing some searches on the Net regarding this, I’ve learned that Audio Book 
purchases are a one time thing from iTunes and if you don’t have a backup of 
your iTunes Library, they are not re-downloadable.  Since, in your case, it did 
not download in the first place, I suggest you contact the iTunes Store 
directly and let them know what happened.  Hopefully, they will figure out how 
to fix the issue for you.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

Thanks everyone, once again. I'm sure this is an audio book, since I can find 
it easily in the Audio Books section of the iTunes Store. I made the purchase 
on my iPhone, but I assumed that wouldn't matter since I would have purchased 
it and thus it would be in my account. Yes, I checked for downloads, but that 
told me that all purchases had already been downloaded. Looks like I'll be 
talking to someone at Apple.

 Hi Alex,
 
 The View purchased items screen is accessible, but it's kind of messy.  
 This is what I do.
 
 With the iTunes store open, bring up the item chooser and search for the 
 word purchase.  Click on the first result, which I think is Purchased.  
 You'll then have a series of Tabs where you can choose the type of content 
 you want to view.  You can also enter a term into the search field.  To 
 the far right is an HTML area.  Interact with that, and the content you 
 have selected should be displayed, along with a button to download items 
 that are not already downloaded.  Hope this helps.
 Cheers,
 Donna

 Hi list,
 Today, I purchased the first season of an audio drama I have been 
 following in podcast form for years. It was around $20, and my iTunes 
 balance has been reduced by that amount. However, on my Mac, I can't seem 
 to find the book - it looks like I have no purchased audio books at all. 
 On iOS, in the iTunes Store app, I can't figure out how to look at 
 purchases. I have gone to View Apple ID, but there's no purchase 
 history in there except the show hidden purchases link that doesn't 
 show much of anything. On the Mac, in iTunes, the purchase history screen 
 appears to be inaccessible, so that's no help.
 
 Bottom line: where's my $20 book, how do I listen to it if I can find it, 
 and how do I view my purchase history on the Mac or iPhone? Thanks for 
 any help, and sorry if I sound frustrated.

Re: Reading Subtitles

2014-12-29 Thread r a gindin

Google asks if you wish a thing translated, but i don't know if that 
applies to videos.  how is the Braille being transmitted.  we have a 
device that renders the Braille as dots on an electronic board called 
refreshable Braille, but I don't know if it would convert writing on a 
video into Braille.  the KNBF reader ($100), is available at the Apple 
store reads anything.  that would require a photo of each subtitle which 
sounds kind of tedious.  yes, the blind can now read anything that can 
be photographed.

It's Dhoom-3 if anyone is curious and has ideas. :) Also, the music is fun.

Re: doing subtracting in Numbers

2014-12-29 Thread Eugenia Firth

Hello there
First get on the cell you want your formula to go into. Then type the  = sign. 
Then press the right arrow key so that you have the cursor past the  = sign. 
Then just type B one then the minus sign. Then type b11 and get out of the cell 
with a carriage return.That should get it done.

I saw someone asking about this a while back but never saw a reply. Of

Audio Book Mystery Solved

Hi all,
Thanks again for everyone's input. I finally called Apple, and they told me two 
important things. First, audio books will show up in the Music app, and will 
for some reason not appear in the history in the iTunes Store app. Once I 
looked in Music  More  Audio Books, there it was!

Second, I followed the Apple rep's instructions to sync purchases from my phone 
(audio books don't appear automatically) and, once again, there it was, this 
time on my Mac. Quite a lot to go through, and definitely one area Apple needs 
to polish in terms of syncing between devices, but we're good now. Thanks again.

Re: Audio Book Mystery Solved

I should have known to tell you that but frankly I was thinking of the Mac 
rather than the iPhone. But I remember that before Audible had a separate app, 
that was how youhad to find Audible books on your phone. That was a long time

 Hi,
 
 I would add a few things to this. If you use Fusion, you can keep a backup 
 of your VM, or VMs anywhere you like, so even if you have to reinstall OS X 
 from scratch, you don’t have to lose your VM, or have it backed up by Time 
 Machine. You can share files and folders  between the two, and largely 
 protect your Windows from hacks by staying Mac side until you actually need 
 Windows. You can also take snapshots of your VM to which you can return 
 should anything ever go wrong with it, and these really do fix a lot of 
 problems. You can also easily manage your keyboard in Fusion so that you 
 have pretty much a native Windows experience while in Windows if you wish. 
 The time to think about Bootcamp is if you want to do something you know 
 can cause problems in Fusion, or if you don’t switch between systems much 
 or can’t afford Fusion.

 It appears that I’ve given you false info that doesn’t apply to Audio Books. 
  In doing some searches on the Net regarding this, I’ve learned that Audio 
 Book purchases are a one time thing from iTunes and if you don’t have a 
 backup of your iTunes Library, they are not re-downloadable.  Since, in your

 I've now checked the option to view cloud purchases, but nothing new

 The purchase history is behaving oddly. VoiceOver sees it as loading

 can see it just fine, and tabbing moves me through the different buttons. I 
 just can't actually look at the information; when I try, I hear a movement

 nothing else happens. Obviously it isn't empty, but VoiceOver thinks it is. 
 I've turned VO off and back on, and I've closed iTunes. Yes, this is all on

 One more thing you may wish to do is to ensure that the Show iTunes in the 
 Cloud Purchases checkbox is checked.  This is found in the Store pane of 
 your iTunes Preferences.  Occasionally, the download option doesn’t 
 automatically pop-up after purchasing something, thus, the purchase is 
 available, just left up in the Cloud.  When this box is checked, there is 
 usually a download button available to the right of the book title when in

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread Grant Hardy

Hi Eileen,

If you’re talking about the Win8PE project that includes NVDA and thus can be 
used as a talking installer, that definitely can work with 64-BIT machines as 
well.

Now, that’s not to say that it will work on a Mac, as there are other issues to 
be aware of, for example, a lack of audio drivers. Your only option would be to 
purchase a USB headset or sound card and try to get audio working that way. I 
have no idea whether this would be feasible as I’ve simply never tried.

But the fact that you have a 64-BIT machine should not stop you from using a 
talking installer.

 of your VM, or VMs anywhere you like, so even if you have to reinstall OS X 
 from scratch, you don’t have to lose your VM, or have it backed up by Time 
 Machine. You can share files and folders  between the two, and largely 
 protect your Windows from hacks by staying Mac side until you actually need 
 Windows. You can also take snapshots of your VM to which you can return 
 should anything ever go wrong with it, and these really do fix a lot of 
 problems. You can also easily manage your keyboard in Fusion so that you 
 have pretty much a native Windows experience while in Windows if you wish. 
 The time to think about Bootcamp is if you want to do something you know can 
 cause problems in Fusion, or if you don’t switch between systems much or 
 can’t afford Fusion.
 
 Cheers
 Dave

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread Grant Hardy

Hello Kawal Kawal,

You’re definitely correct about JAWS authorization being erased when a drive is 
reformatted. In fact in my experience, JAWS even deactivates when the Boot Camp 
support software is repaired or uninstalled. Not needing to worry about this 
would be a definite advantage. For those who use VM Fusion, are you able to 
install Windows without sighted help?

program for the mac that will audo-split/tag mp3 files.

2014-12-29 Thread Jessica Moss

Ok, think the subject says it all lol.  I ended up downloading a folder of 
Mozart CD's that I had no idea whoever put them together merged all these 
albums in to several long mp3 files, instead of splitting them into folders, 
which would've made more sense.
  So now, I have one folder for example, that's simply labeled symphonies, 
with each disc labeled the same thing with a string of numbers attached to it, 
so I have no idea which one is which sense I've never heard every symphony he's 
ever done, and don't have the know-how to split these, or how on earth how to 
spell the names of these pieces when it comes to tagging them.
  Does anyone know if there's something out there that will do that for you?  I 
think I remember something out there ages ago called mp3 direct cut that would, 
but can't remember if that was the exact name of it and how well it worked.

RE: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread Scott Erichsen

Yes. You can install windows without sited help no problem.
I've successfully installed windows 7 64bit and windows 8.1.
Obviously the stuff that comes up in windows itself won't work with voiceover 
as you need a windows screen reader, but installing windows with VMWare fusion 
works fine.
Hope this helps.

Re: Recording a video

2014-12-29 Thread Jessica Moss

Really?  I've never seen that, but if there's something you've stumbled across, 
please share it.
  I'm actually still trying to figure out how to do that on the IPhone, sense 
voiceover doesn't seem to let you know when there's a face in view as opposed 
to camera mode, but I guess that would make sense though, sense you wouldn't 
want to mess up your video with voiceover constantly talking in the background, 
and there's not really a workaround for that unless you use headphones with it.

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread Eileen Misrahi

Hi Grant and Scott,

I did purchase an USB sound card about 1-1/2 months ago. So, I would think I'm 
good to go in using the talking installer. What confused me at Bryan Smart's 
site is which software to download. I'm assuming that's the reference you made 
Grant. If not, can you direct me to the website to download the correct file? 

Thanks.

Best,

Re: VM Fusion vs Bootcamp

2014-12-29 Thread Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona

I do know of a place to get a 64 bit talking installer it is not the one 
from bryan smart page got it from some one on blindtech this allowed me 
to install my 64 bit windows
basicly you run this talking installer, either from cd or usb then have 
your windows disk or usb drive in as well,

then run your windows set up and its pritty straight forward
if you want the installer I can post it some where
some one re did the talking installer and made his own version of it.
its quite good
only thing I am running in to is the usb audio problem at set up see 
separate email. hope this helps

Hi,

to answer the question about installing Windows in BootCamp without sighted

some discussion about using a talking installer, but it's only for a 32 bit

can contact Freedom Scientific and they will load more into your account. I 
can't speak in regards to VM Fusion because I have only BootCamp my machine
