Mac Yosemite 10.10.4 nonbeta official release: Bizarre!

2015-07-28 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
Guys,

This is just totally strange.  I'm over here looking at my friend Ben's mac.  
He has a white 13 inch mid 2010 polycarbon system running Yosemite.  He also 
has the original IPhone 5.  Not the 5S, and not the 5C.  this is just the plain 
ATT 5 32GB phone.  His phone isn't activated.  It has a sim card in it, yes, 
but it's not activated any longer.  So, he's basically just using the thing as 
a majorly glorified IPod.

Anyway, though I know he couldn't therefore make cellular calls with his mac, 
that's obvious, shouldn't he at least! be able to do continuity with things 
like Mail, etc?

He had started writing an e-mail on his phone while on wifi, but then tried 
handing it off to his mac.  The really weird thing is, he can't.  Nothing is in 
his doc that will let him open up the message.  OK, Mail is! in his dock, yes, 
but it's  just the regular app, it's not the handoff message.  We looked 
through his whole dock, huge as it is.  Nothing's there of sort.

I turned off handoff and back on on his phone, resprung his phone, rebooted his 
phone entirely, signed him into Facetime on his phone, just in case that 
remotely somehow matters, as it's so integraded with that feature, I disabled 
and re-enabled bluetooth both on his mac, and on his phone, his mac is showing 
up in neither of the two places.  Yes, both are discoverable.  Had him reboot 
his mac, which did absolutely no good.

He's on 10.10.4 Yosemite, and has I O S 8.4, not the beta, but the literal 
official release build.

On his mac, when I look under system prefs, general, I don't even see a 
checkbox like I do on all my macs, including a macbook of the exact same make, 
model, year, generation, and time of year built running the same exact build of 
Yosemite.

I checked, and he had no software udpates either on the mac, nor on the phone.

The only explaination that I have is, could it be that being he only has a 5, 
not a 5S, his phone isn't 64 bit compatible?  I'd not think that would make a 
difference with this, especially being the option is there in I O S on his 
phone, but who knows.

The other really weird thing is, even though he only has his IMessage account 
activated in Messages on the mac, he somehow's gotten an icon for Messages up 
in his menu extras.  How in the world diddie do that!?  I looked in Messages 
prefs, and see no way to make it do this, and none of my macs ever! have done 
it.  All the menu has when I vo+space on it is ways for him basically to change 
his status.

As I said, he even had that up in his menu extras before being signed into his 
IMessage account with his Apple ID.  He does have Bonjour and Google Talk set 
up in there, but they're not active, so I don't think that! would be it, would 
it?

I'm totally mesmorized.

Chris.

Re: iPhone behaving strangely

2015-07-28 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Is iCloud Photo Library turned on?   If so, turn it off.  You can keep the 
photos on there if you wish but it should be immaterial.  Restart the iPhone 
then turn iCloud Photo Library back on again.  I've seen it get hung up 
sometimes with photo stuff and slow things down considerably.  These steps can 
fix that issue.

error checking and playgrounds in xCode6.4

2015-07-28 Thread Venkatesh Potluri
Hi,

I have a few questions regarding Xcode 6.4.

1. How do I identify and navigate to the line of code that causes an error
while building and running an app?

I managed to locate the issue navigator and it says  Swift compiler error
 . How do I navigate to the exact line that is causing the error?
Moreover, how can I access and apply Xcode suggestions (when they are
available)?

2. When I use a swift playground, I understand that the code is run as I
type. Where can I find this output?

thanks in advance.

Regards,

Venkatesh

  Chris,


  Both the model of MacBook and the iPhone do not support the Hand off feature. 
 You need a 5S to use hand-off as well as a 2012 MacBook Pro.  Continuity 
features would likely work, but not the Hand-off features with those models.

Re: Pros and cons of a Mac mini

2015-07-28 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu
No, the server just uses a second disk in place of the optical drive or, in 
recent models, in the empty space where the optical drive once was (silly 
Apple!).  However, there are no longer Mac Mini servers; they’re all Core I5 
desktops now.  I think Apple just aren’t interested in that segment anymore, 
sadly.  I have my 2012 model and am very happy I have it.  It has two 
Apple-approved SSDs and a Core I7.  It’s running Linux, because Apple now think 
servers should be delivered as apps on the App Store for use on desktops too 
and now the server is pretty hopeless.

Guys, 


This is honestly not a terribly big deal, as I practically haven’t used 
this account in literally probably over a year, but I know it’s still active, 
as I can sign in no problem from the webmail interface with Safari.


Anyway, I have a really really really! old AOL account which I’m trying to 
set up in Mail on my Mac running Yosemite 10.10.4.


I am able to select AOL as the account type, and then put in my screen 
n...@aol.com and the password.  The issue is, as soon as I hit the setup button 
with VO+Space, it dims itself for a few seconds, then becomes available once 
again, but it won’t step me through to the next step of the account setup 
process.


I checked to see if perhaps it added the account anyway in the accounts 
list table, but it didn’t.


So, I guess ultimately, two questions…


Firstly and foremost, has Apple broken the ability to set up an AOL e-mail 
account through the auto-setup procedure in Mail with Yosemite?  If not, then 
my next, and final question would be, has anyone here on the list gotten it 
recently within Yosemite 10.10.4 to work correctly?  I understand that if you 
already had your account setup say from Mountain Lion, or Mavericks, or 
whatever, then it probably still works, as the account was setup previously 
before upgrading, but I’m saying more, has anyone specifically natively within 
Yosemite itself setup an AOL account which wasn’t previously configured?


Again, I’ve marked this e-mail as low priority, as truefully, I’m really 
not terribly concerned.  Yeah, it would be cool to get this account working, 
but if I can’t, it’s not the end of the world.  I’ve not used it in over nearly 
a year or so, so it’s not like I’m really missing much by not having access to 
it.  This does have me a little bit intriegued though.

Re: Pros and cons of a Mac mini

2015-07-28 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries
While an electrical engineer might find some difference, for most people 
the audio is the same on all Mac models.


Disappointing about the lack of a quad core mini. Didn't realize Apple 
slipped that in. They are on newer CPUs now which are, per CPU, faster 
but if you're doing something CPU intensive like encoding audio or the 
like the new machines will be slower than the older quad core boxes. 
Wonder what the story behind the backsliding is? Maybe the mini machines 
are based on the same design as the MacBook Air laptops motherboards 
which are only dual core. I'm sure they do that for battery life but for 
a mini desktop that's not really a concern. They also went to 
soldered-on RAM so you can't upgrade after purchase (also like the Air).

You’re probably right about that.
BUt i am going to use my new mac when i got one for music production just for 
fun though but if i can afford a mac mini server that would be great.
Are there any differences in audio hardware on the server compared to the mac 
mini?
A mac pro is sadly out of budget unless some extreemly rich person would

If you want raw performance, the 2012 quad-core twin-SSD server is still a 
better bet.  For reasons best known to Apple, current Mac Minis simply don’t 
have a quad-core option.  I think that’s a crying shame, personally, because it 
makes the newer Mac Mini a great deal less suitable as a headless server.  My 
cynical mind says this is because Apple just wants to sell more iMac or, for a 
server, more Mac Pro.  Still, for your typical home uses, that’s not really a 
problem.

Re: Unsuccessful attempt, setting up Mail Account

Can you manually set it up by putting in the incoming and outgoing

Guys,

This is honestly not a terribly big deal, as I practically haven’t 
used this account in literally probably over a year, but I know it’s

Anyway, I have a really really really! old AOL account which I’m 
trying to set up in Mail on my Mac running Yosemite 10.10.4.


I am able to select AOL as the account type, and then put in my screen 
n...@aol.com mailto:n...@aol.com and the password.  The issue is, as 
soon as I hit the setup button with VO+Space, it dims itself for a few 
seconds, then becomes available once again, but it won’t step me 
through to the next step of the account setup process.


I checked to see if perhaps it added the account anyway in the 
accounts list table, but it didn’t.


So, I guess ultimately, two questions…

Firstly and foremost, has Apple broken the ability to set up an AOL 
e-mail account through the auto-setup procedure in Mail with Yosemite? 
 If not, then my next, and final question would be, has anyone here on 
the list gotten it recently within Yosemite 10.10.4 to work correctly? 
 I understand that if you already had your account setup say from 
Mountain Lion, or Mavericks, or whatever, then it probably still 
works, as the account was setup previously before upgrading, but I’m 
saying more, has anyone specifically natively within Yosemite itself 
setup an AOL account which wasn’t previously configured?


Again, I’ve marked this e-mail as low priority, as truefully, I’m 
really not terribly concerned.  Yeah, it would be cool to get this 
account working, but if I can’t, it’s not the end of the world.  I’ve 
not used it in over nearly a year or so, so it’s not like I’m really 
missing much by not having access to it.  This does have me a little 
bit intriegued though.

Re: Mac Yosemite 10.10.4 nonbeta official release: Bizarre!

2015-07-28 Thread Tim Kilburn
Chris,

Both the model of MacBook and the iPhone do not support the Hand off feature.  
You need a 5S to use hand-off as well as a 2012 MacBook Pro.  Continuity 
features would likely work, but not the Hand-off features with those models.

Guys,
 
This is just totally strange.  I'm over here looking at my friend Ben's mac.  
He has a white 13 inch mid 2010 polycarbon system running Yosemite.  He also 
has the original IPhone 5.  Not the 5S, and not the 5C.  this is just the plain 
ATT 5 32GB phone.  His phone isn't activated.  It has a sim card in it, yes, 
but it's not activated any longer.  So, he's basically just using the thing as 
a majorly glorified IPod.
 
Anyway, though I know he couldn't therefore make cellular calls with his mac, 
that's obvious, shouldn't he at least! be able to do continuity with things 
like Mail, etc?
 
He had started writing an e-mail on his phone while on wifi, but then tried 
handing it off to his mac.  The really weird thing is, he can't.  Nothing is in 
his doc that will let him open up the message.  OK, Mail is! in his dock, yes, 
but it's  just the regular app, it's not the handoff message.  We looked 
through his whole dock, huge as it is.  Nothing's there of sort.
 
I turned off handoff and back on on his phone, resprung his phone, rebooted his 
phone entirely, signed him into Facetime on his phone, just in case that 
remotely somehow matters, as it's so integraded with that feature, I disabled 
and re-enabled bluetooth both on his mac, and on his phone, his mac is showing 
up in neither of the two places.  Yes, both are discoverable.  Had him reboot 
his mac, which did absolutely no good.
 
He's on 10.10.4 Yosemite, and has I O S 8.4, not the beta, but the literal 
official release build.
 
On his mac, when I look under system prefs, general, I don't even see a 
checkbox like I do on all my macs, including a macbook of the exact same make, 
model, year, generation, and time of year built running the same exact build of 
Yosemite.
 
I checked, and he had no software udpates either on the mac, nor on the phone.
 
The only explaination that I have is, could it be that being he only has a 5, 
not a 5S, his phone isn't 64 bit compatible?  I'd not think that would make a 
difference with this, especially being the option is there in I O S on his 
phone, but who knows.
 
The other really weird thing is, even though he only has his IMessage account 
activated in Messages on the mac, he somehow's gotten an icon for Messages up 
in his menu extras.  How in the world diddie do that!?  I looked in Messages 
prefs, and see no way to make it do this, and none of my macs ever! have done 
it.  All the menu has when I vo+space on it is ways for him basically to change 
his status.
 
As I said, he even had that up in his menu extras before being signed into his 
IMessage account with his Apple ID.  He does have Bonjour and Google Talk set 
up in there, but they're not active, so I don't think that! would be it, would 
it?
 
I'm totally mesmorized.
 
Chris.

Re: how to stop pitures to show up.

2015-07-28 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries
I didn't notice a reply to this one. Not sure how you do it on the beta 
but for the current version of OSX the secret seems to be to use the 
Image Capture app in your Mac's Applications folder with your phone 
plugged in. In the app you should find a table which has your iphone 
selected. VO-down once and you'll land on a checkbox called Show Device 
Settings. If you VO-space on this it will seem like nothing happened but 
it secretly added a new section of controls. VO-up and it lands on some 
text that says Connecting this iPhone opens and if you VO-right there 
is a popup where you can select what it does such as Preview, iPhoto 
and, at the very top of the list, No Application. Pick that and it 
should stop launching any photo apps when you plug in your phone.

you can attach it to your receiver with a standard rca type jack.

The airport extreme is a router.

We used the airport express very successfully with our old Denon and 
and our old Sony before getting our current new Denon receiver.


hth,

Hello list members, two questions. First I wish to send music from
my iPhone or Mac book pro to my home sound system. My home
receiver is a 2003 model, I do not wish to replace at the moment
since it is a high end flag ship model. However it has no HDMI or
later than 2003 connections. So, the question is should I purchase
the airport express or extreme. From reading a few articles it
appears to me that the extreme does not support airplay? I would
prefer using airplay.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Anyway, I have a really really really! old AOL account which
I’m trying to set up in Mail on my Mac running Yosemite 10.10.4.

I am able to select AOL as the account type, and then put in
my screen n...@aol.com mailto:n...@aol.com and the

it’s not the end of the world.  I’ve not used it in over

RNIB Overdrive syncing question

2015-07-28 Thread Daniel McGee
Dear all, since last week, I have been using the RNIB Overdrive service for a 
one month trial and so far, I'm enjoying the experience. 

I have just one question for those who may use it. 

Currently, I find the syncing works pretty well between iPhone and iPad but can 
anyone confirm that they got it to work successfully from Mac back to one of 
the above devices and vice verser again?

I realise that this is a shot in the dark, so to speak because this is 
primarily  for UK users but thought I'd ask here just in case.

Many thanks

Daniel

strang problem with my mac

2015-07-28 Thread jeff `greene
Hi, I've just noticed a strange problem with my mac. I have a Canoscan
lid100 scanner i use for OCR. Since upgrading to 10.10.4 it is no
longer recognized. It works fine under windows 7 in bootcamp. I will
try to find mac drivers on the web for it, but wondered if anybody has
any other suggestions? Its pretty old so I'm thinking drivers will be
hard to find.
Thanks, Jeff

You can lock the option and control keys by pressing control+option+semicolon. 
Press this key combination again to unlock them. If you press the left/down 
arrow, you will stop interacting with an area, and the right/down arrow, will 
allow you to interact.

If you're going to throw something like this out there, don't bother
or explain what you're talking about. If you're hinting at a NDA, just
leave it and don't play coy.

Hit the left and right arrows together and you'll turn on quick nav,
which lets you move around. I always recommend people use the trackpad
commander though whenever possible. It's so much easier to move around
generally, especially if you're coming from an iPhone.

can’t, it’s not the end of the world.  I’ve not used it
in over nearly a year or so, so it’s not like I’m really
missing much by not having access to it.  This does have
me a little bit intriegued though.

 If so, this is a limitation in the Mac Overdrive program - you can’t do it.

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question

2015-07-28 Thread Daniel McGee
Hi Edward yes, that's exactly what I meant but I'm glad to know that it's a 
limatation  that I wasn't going mad trying to get it to sync from iPhone to 
Mac. If you don't mind me asking, how do you know 1st hand that it's a 
limatation between Mac and iOS? 

Rachael, I haven't gotten around to returning an audiobook yet but just in case 
I run into the problem you have, an I right in that a simple closed and open 
again from the app switcher gets rid of the books after there expiration date? 
If so, I can live with that, just as long as the books free up the storage 
space I'll be happy. Can think of nothing worse than books being deleted and 
not returning the storage space that was once taken up by then. We're talking 
16gb I devices here too.

P.S.
If I can't use Mac and iPhone, no worries, I'll continue to use iPad and 
iPhone, as that works quite nicely. :) 

Daniel

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question

2015-07-28 Thread Edward Green
Hi Daniel,

It’s not a limitation between Mac and iOS, it’s a limitation of Overdrive for 
Mac full stop.  It wouldn’t work on the Mac if your second device was a PC 
rather than an iPhone.

I googled the problem when I was having it, and it was posted as an FAQ by one 
of the commercial audio book sellers who also use the Overdrive platform.

Cheers,

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question

2015-07-28 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
I did not like Overdrive for the Mac or I phone although did use it in the 
trial a few times.

One of the reasons I'm not an RNIB Talking book subscriber.  However, I got a 
Victor Stream 2 Gen so I may change my mind once I have mastered the Stream.  
At least you can put the SSD card in the Mac.

 limatation between Mac and iOS? 
 
 Rachael, I haven't gotten around to returning an audiobook yet but just in 
 case I run into the problem you have, an I right in that a simple closed 
 and open again from the app switcher gets rid of the books after there 
 expiration date? If so, I can live with that, just as long as the books 
 free up the storage space I'll be happy. Can think of nothing worse than 
 books being deleted and not returning the storage space that was once 
 taken up by then. We're talking 16gb I devices here too.
 
 P.S.
 If I can't use Mac and iPhone, no worries, I'll continue to use iPad and 
 iPhone, as that works quite nicely. :)

Sharing TouchVic, an App for early stimulation of blind kids

2015-07-28 Thread Daniela Rubio
Hello all! I hope you are having a great summer!
Now, I take the opportunity, to send this, because I wanted to let you know 
about an App in which development I participated, which is an authoring tool to 
work with blind and visually impaired kids. It is interesting, because you well 
know how difficult is for us, as totally blind users, to create content in an 
accessible way, even when we know that there are APIS that allow the inclusion 
of accessibility in many tools.
As I support blind kids, the hardest problem I encounter, is that almost all 
the educational games and apps that teachers use in school are not accessible, 
and the once which are, not always accomplish the teachers requirements for 
working with their students. This is why we created TouchVic. An accessible 
authoring tool, but at the same time, an accessible gaming app, where children 
can work different skills according to the content the educator adds and 
customize.
It is better that you see it by your own, and here I leave you the link to the 
project page, where you can get all the description, a complete user guide, and 
also the link to get it for free in the App Store.
I would love to make a video tutorial for it, as soon as I have it I will let 
you all know; or if you find it interesting, we could work one demo together 
for you to distribute it.
The link is:
http://www.everywaretech.es/project/touch-vic/ 
http://www.everywaretech.es/project/touch-vic/
I am thrilled to share with you this, and I would love to here your thoughts 
about it!
Best

Re: error checking and playgrounds in xCode6.4

2015-07-28 Thread Alex Hall
In the group of a code file are the text input area and a ruler. This ruler 
contains all warnings and errors, each as a button. The buttons don't do 
anything, but you can us the jump to line command to quickly get to the line 
the error/warning references. I usually find this more useful than the issue 
navigator.

Playgrounds seem to have some accessibility problems in Xcode 6.x. Hopefully, 
version 7 (due out this fall) will correct them. That said, if you're doing Mac 
apps especially, it might be easier to just build an actual app and debug/test 
your code there instead. You not only get logging, but you could even speak 
information aloud using NSSpeechSynthesizer, or pop up alerts. You'll be able 
to do the same thing with iOS, once iOS9 and Xcode 7 drop.

 Hi,
 I have a few questions regarding Xcode 6.4.
 1. How do I identify and navigate to the line of code that causes an error 
 while building and running an app?
 I managed to locate the issue navigator and it says  Swift compiler error  
 . How do I navigate to the exact line that is causing the error? Moreover, 
 how can I access and apply Xcode suggestions (when they are available)?
 2. When I use a swift playground, I understand that the code is run as I 
 type. Where can I find this output?
 thanks in advance.

Genie Go and Mac

2015-07-28 Thread Sarai Bucciarelli
Well,
I had to have Genie Go connected to my Direct TV by the TV guy. None of us 
could get it activated. As for the Mac app, it is not accessible. We have 
unlabeled buttons and check boxes. No labeled help tags. If you set the view to 
poster mode instead of list, you can get the titles to read, but nothing will 
play, nore download, nor Stream.  The good news it appears the iOS app might be 
fully accessible. I will let you know!

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question

2015-07-28 Thread Edward Green
No worries, hopefully Overdrive will fix the Mac software at some point.

Cheers,

 Hi Edward, thanks for your straight to the point answer. At least I know that 
 PC is out of the question then. I wouldn't meet the requirements  anyway,  my 
 machine running Vista. 
 
 Your help has been appreciated.

 Hi Daniel,
 
 It’s not a limitation between Mac and iOS, it’s a limitation of Overdrive 
 for Mac full stop.  It wouldn’t work on the Mac if your second device was a 
 PC rather than an iPhone.
 
 I googled the problem when I was having it, and it was posted as an FAQ by 
 one of the commercial audio book sellers who also use the Overdrive platform.
 
 Cheers,

 Hi Edward yes, that's exactly what I meant but I'm glad to know that it's a 
 limatation  that I wasn't going mad trying to get it to sync from iPhone to 
 Mac. If you don't mind me asking, how do you know 1st hand that it's a 
 limatation between Mac and iOS? 
 
 Rachael, I haven't gotten around to returning an audiobook yet but just in 
 case I run into the problem you have, an I right in that a simple closed 
 and open again from the app switcher gets rid of the books after there 
 expiration date? If so, I can live with that, just as long as the books 
 free up the storage space I'll be happy. Can think of nothing worse than 
 books being deleted and not returning the storage space that was once taken 
 up by then. We're talking 16gb I devices here too.
 
 P.S.
 If I can't use Mac and iPhone, no worries, I'll continue to use iPad and 
 iPhone, as that works quite nicely. :)

 Hi Daniel,
 
 Do you mean being able to resume playback on the Mac from where you left 
 off on your iDevice?
 
 If so, this is a limitation in the Mac Overdrive program - you can’t do 
 it.

 I realise that this is a shot in the dark, so to speak because this is

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question

2015-07-28 Thread Edward Green
Hi Daniel,

To delete a book using iOS:
From the home menu, swipe down to the ‘files’ button and double tap it.
Double tap the region indicating how many parts are downloaded.
The delete button should be level with the top of the home button, to the right 
side.
Cheers,

Ed

 Hi Rachael, so does the book still take   up the storage of the  book on your

Re: iPhone behaving strangely

2015-07-28 Thread Eric Oyen
well, I did free up some space. It had 5 GB available before when I was 
starting to see these issues. I am now closer to 6 gb and still get the 
occasional issue.

 As I mentioned earlier, I really don't believe that you need to do a restore. 
  Were you able to free up any space?  How much free space does it have 
 according to Settings, General, About?  If it's less than 1 GB, this sort of 
 behaviour will persist.

 A reset will not wipe the data. Pressing both home and power button until 
 the phone reboots will not harm data. But try using the app switcher first.

 hello everyone,
 
 I updated to iOS 8.4  about 2 months ago. everything was working fine 
 until the last 2 weeks. Now, I am starting to see some strange behavior.
 Firstly, the phone seems laggy when starting applications (voiceover 
 stops speaking for up to a minute),
 some apps (like Facebook) have their primary screen disappear (giving me 
 bonks while trying to interact with it),
 the Onscreen keyboard doesn't appear in either messenger or Facebook 
 (thus not allowing me to use the dictate function),
 some of the apps in the app chooser won't return to foreground when 
 selected and double tapped,
 storage on the device seems to be incorrect (reports 7gb used with 5 gb 
 remaining and this is on a 16gb phone!).
 
 I haven't tried a reset on the phone yet (I am loathe to try this as I 
 would have to put back in a lot of data such as passwords, etc.
 
 anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve this?
