Re: CereProc
Hi! There ar several swedish voices but they’re really a mess to my ears. I have to stand them though on my i-devices. Now i use the acapella voices and they’re ok but not the best. The best i’ve heard comes from Ivona or Loquendo. Or Espeak is also a good one for my ears. But people here in Sweden say i am crazy who loves espeak.

Re: Moderator Note - Clearing some air -was- Important -was- Re: So is this list going to die or not?
Hello All, I felt I needed to send this along to clear some air, respond to some comments and address some assumptions which seem to be going around in regard to this list and my list involvement in the current situation and over the past few months. Firstly, I only mentioned my current situation with my loved one simply to be open and honest about exactly why it is that I am not able to address matters more quickly. That is the *only* reason. The list situation has been so volatile that I felt you all deserve this and that it was only fair of me. Secondly, I was in no way lecturing any of you on what you should be doing or holding anyone here to any higher of a standard than I would consider holding myself. So if my note came off like that, then please understand this was not at all my intention. I simply meant to suggest a way to quell the current list tide until I can more appropriately address these important issues. In addition, many of you seem to be under the assumption that I do not pay any attention whatsoever to this list and that there is no moderation going on here at all. This is simply not the case. There is, and has been someone who has been kind enough to help manage whatever aspects of the list they can, when they can. So the idea that I somehow do not care or have not been considerate of this list is simply and completely incorrect. I also check in on this list every couple of days. I do not read every single post, but I do read some and I do skim as well. Since as I’ve said above, there has been moderation behind the scenes, I felt this was appropriate. Since I did miss a serious issue, it is obviously not. So as I have mentioned before, I am currently deciding on additional moderators to assist. Make no mistake, as CJ has mentioned, if any list member here is shown any kind of abuse through this list, it matters to me very deeply. The fact that I did not know this was going on does not mean I do not care or that I do not pay any attention here. I simply missed this in my checks of the list. This does not mean I do not view this as my responsibility. On the contrary, I take full responsibility for this. However, it does mean that I am a human being and do miss things from time to time. It is, and always has been extremely important to me that any list I moderate be a safe place for every member on it. I take this very seriously. This is very deep to who I am. -And, as I have already said, I am deeply sorry for the kind of insanity that has happened here. Having said this, I feel it is important for me to ask that you please understand, I am also not a service that people are entitled to, I am a person and as such, have a life and will occasionally miss things that go on here. Now, I am not saying that you all feel this way, but there are certainly some who seem to. I will try (as I have always done here) to do the best I can for this list. Understand that I get absolutely no compensation of any kind for the running of this list, and am lucky if I ever have received more than two thank you notes per year, every year that I have worked with this list, even at its best of times. I certainly get my share of demands, criticism, questions, help requests and general comments. This is fine, I expect this but please realize that this is, and has always been simply a labor of love so to speak. I do very much view the running of this list and my others as my responsibility. I care very deeply about helping this community so this sort of thing affects me more than you may realize. Some have also accused me of some sort of power trip by still being this list’s owner. Firstly, no one has asked me for list ownership and secondly, though this is a community, and as Jonathan has mentioned, a brand, this is, at the end of the day, simply a mailing list. This is not some sort of power trip to me. Yes, I can assist you all in keeping this community going, but as I have said before, it is you who keep this community going. I can only assist you all. You are the community and I am a member of it just like you. This mailing list is merely a vehicle for you the community to express yourselves and I can assist. Our community means a lot to me so I feel this list is a very important resource. I am not sure how much clearer or more honest I can be. I will apologize once again and simply say that this matters to me whether it seems like it or not. As I have said, I will address what list issues I can now, (like getting another mod) and address any others as soon as time allows on my end. Let me close by saying how much I appreciate your understanding and support and your taking time to read this. I wish you and yours, a lovely day / evening. (wherever you may be) Talk with you all soon… Sincerely, Cara On Aug 27, 2015, at 9:17 AM, CJ Daniel cj.bear.dan...@gmail.com wrote: Cara, As someone who once held his own child while she passed, I can
New iPhones
Hi all If what I read on Mac Daily News about the lack of an iPhone 6C plus the discontinuation of the 5C is true, this year will be a very significant year for iPhone owners. Why? All iPhones from the 5s up are 64 bit. Theoretically, this means 32 bit is dead as far as the iPhone is concerned. To my knowledge, 32 bit is dead throughout the iOS device range as even the new iPod Touch is now 64 bit. I say good riddance to 32 bit!

Re: Audiobooks in iBooks for iOS | Problems with Playback Controls for m4b Files
Hi! I gave up on audiobook builder. Even though i have it here on my computer. It seemd to complicated for me. But i guess i’ll have to check it out again. /A 28 aug. 2015 kl. 06:29 skrev Nicholas Parsons mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com: Hi Tim, Yes, it is a little frustrating in some senses, but it also gives me some hope that I too could get it to work properly. Maybe the problem is just with the particular audiobook files I’ve been using. Although, in the one audiobook, sometimes I can jump forward and back 15 seconds in one chapter but not in another, and this is where the whole book and all its chapters are just one file. It’s a little odd. Was the audiobook you used a .m4b file? I think I use AudiobookBuilder as well, although I’m not on my iMac just now and there’s a couple of similar apps with very similar names.

With these files, the skip back and forward 15 seconds buttons don’t work. Flicking up and down on the book position scrubber doesn’t work either. though tapping, holding, and sliding does work, though it’s difficult to control accuracy this way.

Re: Using Software update.
Do you need an Apple ID even though this person is running Snow Leopard? I ask because I didn't set up an Apple ID as soon as I got my Mac back in 2010 and didn't have one until 2011. I was still able to download software updates for Snow Leopard so this kinda confuses me. I understand if you wanted to download major software updates such as Yosemite you'd need an Apple ID, but if this person wanted to update his Snow Leopard, wouldn't he be fine without one? Am I right, Singing Sparrow, that you just wanted to download an update to Snow Leopard or are you thinking of making the jump to a higher, and in my opinion, better version of OS X like Yosemite?

Re: Using Software update.
Ok, that makes sense How hard is it to set up an apple id where can i go to do this?

Re: Copy Paste in Numbers
Hi tim and all, well the problem has gone away. I re-started the Mac and all has gone back to normal. So long since I have used Windows I forgot to try that to begin with. Thanks again for the help. Max. On 28 Aug 2015, at 3:04 pm, Tim Kilburn kilbu...@me.com wrote: Hi, Try pasting what's been copied into a blank TextEdit document. It's best to have the TextEdit document set to Plain Text to get the best results. So, when you open a blank TextEdit document, press cmd-shift-t and it will be set to Plain Text. Press cmd-v to paste in the contents of the copied cell. Often, VO will announce Copy even if the item was not actually put into the Clipboard, I think VO is simply announcing what key combination was pressed. If nothing is pasted into your TextEdit document when doing this, then it's not likely focusing properly on the cell and thus not really copying anything. If this is the case, try using just arrow keys or the tab key to navigate to the cell that you're copying from and see if that changes anything. Keep me in the loop. Later...

Re: iTunes and audio book Help
Hi, My audiobooks are in the itunes library in the folder audiobooks. So it's my home folder / music folder / itunes folder / itunes media folder / audiobooks. The only thing I can think of is whether you have itunes set to copy files into its library or leave them where they were originally. This option is somewhere in itunes preferences which you get to with command+comma, or through itunes menu item.

VO-Cmd-F3 and VO-Cmd-F3-F3, how did I miss them?
Hello listers, I recently discovered the immense value of VO-Cmd-F3 and VO-Cmd-F3-F3 in showing the size of an object and its position on the page. Since we still have an ancient Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, we tried these commands on that and they were there! How did I miss them? One oddity with the reporting of the Y coordinate in a document is that it reports the position of a page as if it were printed on continuous stationery, so page 2 of a document is reported as having a Y coordinate of something like 31 cm.

Re: accessible video editing software for mac
last time I used iMovie, it was reasonably accessible.

Re: i-mac loading issue
You have to reboot the computer into the recovery partition by pressing and holding command-r for about ten seconds. Then, give it a bit and start VoiceOver with command-F5. You should have the Recovery options available to you, and use VO-m to get to the menu bar. Navigate right to the Utilities menu and then go down to, Terminal. Press VO-space and then when the terminal window is open, type, all one word, resetpassword This should give you a GUI interface to choose the account you want and reset the password of that user.

Re: i-mac loading issue
Hmmm. I missed the start of this discussion, but do you have FileVault turned on by chance? When you try to boot into recovery, it prompts you for the password? If this is the case, try typing your Apple ID and then your password to see if that will unlock the system for you. Take Care John D.

So, here's the deal. Office 2016 for the mac is available, yes, not even as the public preview. It's out, but! hold on! there is a little small catch. It is out, yes, but right now, it's only available to Office 365 subscribers. Not to official non-365 subscribers who just want it as is, full fledged. However, on the plus side of this, it is apparently supposed to be fully released without the need for Office 365 come next month. Once this is done, they will also then be releasing Office 2016 for Windows for both 365 members as well as non-365 full fledged users. Please realize that none of what I am saying here breaks any NDA. I'm telling you exactly what I was directly told by a Microsoft sales agent named Hermon. If you want to get either of the versions out now of Microsoft Office for a mac, or a Windows PC, then here's what you need to do. First off, be sure you're subscribed to Office 365. You can do this through http://www.office.com Once you have done this, go back to the above link, and sign in with your Microsoft passport. Once in, click on the link for my account. I think a more direct link actually is: http://account.office.com It might be http://myaccount.office.com It's one of the two, I just don't recall which. Once you're at this page and logged in, you should see a section for installation. If you look under here, you'll see the option to download either of these installers, for the mac, or for a PC. Pick the one you want, download it, and install it by running the installer. Then, make sure during the installer that you sign in with your Microsoft passport if asked to do so. It's been a while since I've needed to install, so I don't recall exactly what that process is, but I know it's very very straight forward. Once done, you're good to go. As for the accessibility, I've not used it in a while, but I did try one of the older public previews, and for what it was worth, yes, there were some major issues, but for the most part, unless you were doing really really really heavy editting, it worked quite well. Even MS Word finally has been fixed where now you can read the document window. Remember that this was quite a few preview builds back though, so I'd honestly give it a shot. I think you'll be at least somewhat, if not very impressed.

Re: New iPhones
Ok, so I would challenge anyone to demonstrate how 64 bit really changed that much in regards to the use and performance of the phones. The bit depth thing is really over stated. The primary advantage of a 64 bit word over a 32 bit word is that 64 bit systems can address far more memory simultaneously. This is great for example if you do things like large computing or have larger servers like we use at my job that have over a TByte of RAM. Your phone though has nothing like this. You have a few gigabytes of ram, 128 gigabytes at most of flash storage and not much else. The power in a small form factor of a phone is remarkable but it’s nothing compared to what 64bit is actually designed for. You also get the advantage of more bytes per word but this assumes you’re using code optimized to take advantage of this. Chris to your points, you’re pretty much right. In general though loading 32 bit code on a 64 bit processor is no problem at all, you just use half the available bits in the word. The problems you’re thinking of are the result of bad or tricky software design.:) Windows was known for having problems with 32 bit code where other operating systems this was never a concern. However, if you get passed that layer of abstraction and to the OS level as long as the compilation is good there won’t be any problems. You can run something compiled for 32 bit on a 64 bit cpu with no issues. Just distinguishing that the limitation you pointed out is more software induced than at the hardware level where the original poster was going. If you ask me I’d rather have a 32, 16 or even 8 bit processor in my phone if the code was written much more tightly and cleanly. It might be a result of my age but I was always told to write the code as tight and lean as possible for the best performance. With all the increases in hardware over the years in my humble opinion software and environments have gotten sloppy in some cases and bloated in many. Remember, the command module of the Apolo space craft only had about 32K of storage. :) just my $.02 On Aug 28, 2015, at 1:25 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland clgillan...@gmail.com wrote: Sort a. Remember: 64 bit sometimes can be backward compatible. Let me be very clear. I didn't say it always! can be, but sometimes depending on circumstances, it can be.

Why? All iPhones from the 5s up are 64 bit. Theoretically, this means 32 bit is dead as far as the iPhone is concerned. To my knowledge, 32 bit is dead throughout the iOS device range as even the new iPod Touch is now 64 bit. I say good riddance to 32 bit!

One handy way to figure out where you space went is to open your hard drive, make sure you are in list view (command+2) and then go to View Options (command-J). That pops up a window with extra options checkboxes. At the bottom of that list of checkboxes is one that says Calculate all sizes. Check that one and then command ~ to jump back to your list view of the hard drive and there will be a Size column. Usually for folders the size is just -- but the Mac will start totaling up all the files and replace those -- with actual numbers. You can then start to focus on the folders with the most space used and start to drill down to figure out what's using the most space. The Calculate all sizes beats on your hard drive making (ad updating) all those totals so when you're done you'll want to turn that back off.

Identifying posters to mailing lists in Mac Mail
Hi, I am running the latest version of Yosemite and Apple Mail on a Macbook Pro. I am a member of some NFB lists, and whenever I receive emails from those lists, the list is announced as the sender rather than the poster. This doesn’t happen in Outlook 2013 under Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get the poster (rather than the list) to show as the sender under Apple Mail?

accessible video editing software for mac
Hi, Is there an accessible video editor for mac? I have an hour-long video which I need to edit all but approximately 3 minutes out. The 3 minute clip which I want to keep is approximately 10 minutes into the video. I would like to keep the video that goes along with those three minutes in tact.

Re: concerning iDrive
Hello Ray. I use I Cloud Drive if that is what you are talking about. I pay a subscription every month for the Sum of £2.99 but not sure what that is in dollars.

Re: Update Fusion even if you don't have the current version on your Mac? was two questions about the Mac
Hi Scott. Sorry for not explaining properly as you mis understood me. I have Fusion 7 but not installed it on my Computers.

So, here's the deal. Office 2016 for the mac is available, yes, not even as the public preview. It's out, but! hold on! there is a little small catch. It is out, yes, but right now, it's only available to Office 365 subscribers. Not to official non-365 subscribers who just want it as is, full fledged. However, on the plus side of this, it is apparently supposed to be fully released without the need for Office 365 come next month. Once this is done, they will also then be releasing Office 2016 for Windows for both 365 members as well as non-365 full fledged users. Please realize that none of what I am saying here breaks any NDA. I'm telling you exactly what I was directly told by a Microsoft sales agent named Hermon. If you want to get either of the versions out now of Microsoft Office for a mac, or a Windows PC, then here's what you need to do. First off, be sure you're subscribed to Office 365. You can do this through http://www.office.com Once you have done this, go back to the above link, and sign in with your Microsoft passport. Once in, click on the link for my account. I think a more direct link actually is: http://account.office.com It might be http://myaccount.office.com It's one of the two, I just don't recall which. Once you're at this page and logged in, you should see a section for installation. If you look under here, you'll see the option to download either of these installers, for the mac, or for a PC. Pick the one you want, download it, and install it by running the installer. Then, make sure during the installer that you sign in with your Microsoft passport if asked to do so. It's been a while since I've needed to install, so I don't recall exactly what that process is, but I know it's very very straight forward. Once done, you're good to go. As for the accessibility, I've not used it in a while, but I did try one of the older public previews, and for what it was worth, yes, there were some major issues, but for the most part, unless you were doing really really really heavy editting, it worked quite well. Even MS Word finally has been fixed where now you can read the document window. Remember that this was quite a few preview builds back though, so I'd honestly give it a shot. I think you'll be at least somewhat, if not very impressed.

Firstly, I only mentioned my current situation with my loved one simply to be open and honest about exactly why it is that I am not able to address matters more quickly. That is the *only* reason. The list situation has been so volatile that I felt you all deserve this and that it was only fair of me. Secondly, I was in no way lecturing any of you on what you should be doing or holding anyone here to any higher of a standard than I would consider holding myself. So if my note came off like that, then please understand this was not at all my intention. I simply meant to suggest a way to quell the current list tide until I can more appropriately address these important issues. In addition, many of you seem to be under the assumption that I do not pay any attention whatsoever to this list and that there is no moderation going on here at all. This is simply not the case. There is, and has been someone who has been kind enough to help manage whatever aspects of the list they can, when they can. So the idea that I somehow do not care or have not been considerate of this list is simply and completely incorrect. I also check in on this list every couple of days. I do not read every single post, but I do read some and I do skim as well. Since as I’ve said above, there has been moderation behind the scenes, I felt this was appropriate. Since I did miss a serious issue, it is obviously not. So as I have mentioned before, I am currently deciding on additional moderators to assist. Make no mistake, as CJ has mentioned, if any list member here is shown any kind of abuse through this list, it matters to me very deeply. The fact that I did not know this was going on does not mean I do not care or that I do not pay any attention here. I simply missed this in my checks of the list. This does not mean I do not view this as my responsibility. On the contrary, I take full responsibility for this. However, it does mean that I am a human being and do miss things from time to time. It is, and always has been extremely important to me that any list I moderate be a safe place for every member on it. I take this very seriously. This is very deep to who I am. -And, as I have already said, I am deeply sorry for the kind of insanity that has happened here. Having said this, I feel it is important for me to ask that you please understand, I am also not a service that people are entitled to, I am a person and as such, have a life and will occasionally miss things that go on here. Now, I am not saying that you all feel this way, but there are certainly some who seem to. I will try (as I have always done here) to do the best I can for this list. Understand that I get absolutely no compensation of any kind for the running of this list, and am lucky if I ever have received more than two thank you notes per year, every year that I have worked with this list, even at its best of times. I certainly get my share of demands, criticism, questions, help requests and general comments. This is fine, I expect this but please realize that this is, and has always been simply a labor of love so to speak. I do very much view the running of this list and my others as my responsibility. I care very deeply about helping this community so this sort of thing affects me more than you may realize. Some have also accused me of some sort of power trip by still being this list’s owner. Firstly, no one has asked me for list ownership and secondly, though this is a community, and as Jonathan has mentioned, a brand, this is, at the end of the day, simply a mailing list. This is not some sort of power trip to me. Yes, I can assist you all in keeping this

Re: New iPhones
Sort a. Remember: 64 bit sometimes can be backward compatible. Let me be very clear. I didn't say it always! can be, but sometimes depending on circumstances, it can be. So, theoretically, you probably could get away still with running some things that were designed more for x86 platform. It really just depends.

Why? All iPhones from the 5s up are 64 bit. Theoretically, this means 32 bit is dead as far as the iPhone is concerned. To my knowledge, 32 bit is dead throughout the iOS device range as even the new iPod Touch is now 64 bit. I say good riddance to 32 bit!

Re: accessible video editing software for mac
Not quite sure if I understand what you mean by wanting to keep the accompanying video and video intact, but you could make a duplicate of the movie, and then using QuickTime edit the three-minute you want keeping only that. This is done fairly easily by splitting the video at one point and then again at the end point of your selected clip and then deleting the two extraneous clips you were then left with the 3 minute clip that you Want to keep. QuickTime is definitely a bare-bones video editor, but you can split clips and delete those clips easily. This allows you to isolate sections of the movie.

Re: i-mac loading issue
Are you also asked for a username? And at what point do you get the prompt to enter a password? Is VoiceOver available at that point? It could be asking for a firmware password, and you can’t reset that yourself. If there’s a firmware password which you can’t remember, you’ll have to visit an Apple retail store or phone Apple to request service. Not saying it is definitely a firmware password, but it may be beneficial to get someone who can see the screen to read what you’re being prompted for.

Markup
Hi all, Has anyone successfully used Markup to sign PDF documents? I’ve successfully created a signature using the trackpad, but I have no idea whether with VO there is any way to place the signature at the correct spot. It seems that once you insert the signature into a document, a sighted user has to move it to the correct location visually. Is this correct?
