Re: urgent! Thorough and Good back up programs

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Yes, reverse it.

For extra points, defragment and zero the Windows partition, and use bzip2 to 
compress the output of dd.  That makes an even smaller file.

It’s a shame that all this can’t be easily automated, although to be fair Apple 
has taken great care of Apple’s own side of the fence.  And when you come right 
down to it, OS X (and Unix, generally) file systems are easier to duplicate 
than Windows.  Bloody MickeySoft.

Your partition tables, including errors, would also be duplicated.  I’d throw 
it all out.

MODERATOR NOTE: An Explanation of Recently Deleted Messages to the List and a Suggestion Regarding List Subscription Requests

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

Some of you may have been notified that your unposted messages to the list
were recently deleted or rejected.  

Let me assure you that, unless notified, off-list, by either Cara or me, in
no way have you or are your posts being blocked from the list.

The simple truth of the matter is that Google, for whatever reason, tags
some posts to the list as spam or other unwanted material and places them in
a queue for review by a moderator.

As I only recently began assisting Cara in managing the lists, I dumped a
queue of held messages some of which having been held for over a month in
order to wipe the proverbial slate clean, making management tasks a little
easier.

Please accept my apology if you received such a notice and know that it was
merely a matter of some proverbial house cleaning, nothing more.

I would like to suggest that if you post a message to the list and it does
not appear within 24 hours, to please write to Cara and me, off-list, making
us aware of the problem so we can go into the queue and find it for you.  My
direct email address is:  mk...@ucla.edu 

I am aware that some people have encountered difficulty in subscribing to
the list or changing email address info, etc.  Please remember that the best
way to insure that your list subscription requests get processed is to write
a short explanation as to why you want to join or change your list info.  

A list subscription request containing at least one sentence, in addition to
an email address, is far more likely to be approved than one containing an
email address, only.

If you feel as though your list subscription email requests have been
overlooked, please send a direct email to Cara and me.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I look forward to serving
you as a list moderator.  

Most Sincerely,

Mark

Re: urgent! Thorough and Good back up programs

yes.
you use the command dd thus: dd if=/Volumes/Media/backups/backup.img of=/dev/sda

that will write all information back to the new drive in exact bit for bit 
order.

 well, here is how the drive imaging works with Disk utility.
 
 you can create a hard disk image, partition it and then copy the relevant 
 files to it. mind you, this is not exactly a clone. I haven't tried this 
 particular method myself, so I am not sure if it would work.
 
 However, if you dd the entire device, all information (including boot 
 record, partition map, drive allocation tables, volume bitmaps and 
 everything else is preserved as a bit for bit image. with a large enough 
 backup drive, you can store the entire image as a single file. This is the 
 method I use and it works 100% of the time. THe other method (creating a 
 disk image using DU) will not have the same results. you might miss some 
 things like the MBR, partition tables and a few other needed items. now, I 
 use dd as a matter of course simply because I don't have money to throw at 
 a backup program that may, or may not, be entirely accessible for the 
 totally blind user. it is also an included command line app that can be 
 run in terminal from the recovery partition. SInce I can run this recovery 
 partition from either a CD or a USB stick (properly configured), I don't 
 have to worry about anything on the system drive that might accidentally 
 get wiped (considering that I am wiping it anyway).
 
 if you need more info on dd, you can read here:

Apple TV-No Optical Port

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hello, 

I have a question. I know that there are 3.5 mm jack to blue tooth adaptors, 
which I learned a while back. Will this work with the new Apple TV if one 
needed to use an optical cable to rout the Apple TV through their receiver? 
This may be an option for those who are not in the market or can’t afford a new 
blue tooth receiver along with all the new iDevices revealed last Wednesday. 
Input on this would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance. 

Best, 
Eileen

Totally forget that option.  The ONLY connections on the Apple TV are as

2.  HDMI port for connecting to either HDTV or HD capable AV receiver.
3.  MiniUSB.

4.  Optical digital output.

Hi all,

so if you have multiple albums by a given artist, how do you get your i-device 
to play all songs from all albums?  I've looked in the Apple Support forums, 
and saw something that said you did it by tapping on the artist photo.  I've 
tried tapping the artist's name, but that did not do it.  Does anyone know how 
to do this?

RE: Anyone know how to play all songs by an artist on an iPod or iPhone?

[Alan Lemly]

Donna,

I sync my desired playlists to my iPhone 6 so that my iPhone actually
contains the music I enjoy listening to as opposed to using Apple Music or
another streaming service. The way I would listen to a particular artist on
my iPhone would be to call up Siri and say something like "Play Bruno Mars
shuffled or not shuffled." I'm not sure of the actual words to request the
playing not to be shuffled but give Siri a try and see if she meets your
needs.

Hi all,

so if you have multiple albums by a given artist, how do you get your
i-device to play all songs from all albums?  I've looked in the Apple
Support forums, and saw something that said you did it by tapping on the
artist photo.  I've tried tapping the artist's name, but that did not do it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Donna

Learning Pages for the Mac

[Craig Werner]

Hello, everyone.

I am about to start learning Pages for the Mac. For now, I seek only a
basic understanding: creating a document; changing type styles; finding and
replacing text; writing a basic header, etc. Can anyone recommend articles
or podcasts that might be helpful? Even supplying general information as to
where these resources are will suffice. I don't expect anyone to go
searching for specific links.

Thanks for all help.

Craig

Re: Anyone know how to play all songs by an artist on an iPod or iPhone?

[Alan Lemly]

Hi Donna, 

So have you tried asking Siri to play Eric clapton to see what happens? I'm 
still using ios 8.3 so my music app has not been affected by the changes they 
brought in to support apple music. I'd be curious how Siri would handle a 
request to play tracks by artist when both owned and streamed music are 
available on the same device.

Re: Apple TV-No Optical Port

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

The new Apple TV, which isn't even available to purchase yet, has 
dropped the optical audio out. So the only option is to get your audio 
via HDMI or send it to an airport express with optical audio outputs. 
They did add 7.1 surround sound if you're really into that home theater 
sound setup.

4.  Optical digital output.

all the new iDevices revealed last Wednesday. Input on this would be

another braille question..

[Caitlyn Furness]

Hi,
OK, this is probably a stupid one, but is computer braille the same as 8 dot?

And, if I have 8 dot mode turned on, can I leave the contracted box ticked?

I suppose I’ll have to get used to reading in 8 dot mode if this is the same as 
computer braille, but honestly, so far, when I’ve tried using it, it bugs 
me-it’s like reading grade one!

Thanks for any help!

It should be. Do you have Grade II braille translation switched off in
VoiceOver? If not, you'll definitely have unreadable BRF files. You need to be
in computer braille mode.

reading .brf files on the mac

[Caitlyn Furness]

Hi,
Can somebody enlighten me as to how to read .brf files on the mac?

I thought I could just pull up one in text edit and as long as I was reading 
with a braille display it’d be fine.

I just tried to do this with a file and it was gobbledy gook!

I am using a brilliant bi40.

Thanks!

Does anyone use one of these?  How nearly does it act as with an ipad or

Is it possible to do most voiceover functions and/or destop functions with 
it?

Re: Magic touchpad

Hi,
Yes, the magic track pad allows lots of voice over gestures.  It does work 
similar to an i phone.

I use mine with both my i mac and the one built into my mac book air all the 
time, wouldn’t be as productive without using them!

Re: another braille question..

[David Chittenden]

Computer braille is the same as 8-dot braille. In computer braille, there is a 
different dot pattern for each symbol. For letters, uppercase letters have dot 
7 added to the letter. Numbers and punctuation are different. Remember, print 
is not contracted.

One cannot have contracted braille checked if one wishes to use computer 
braille.
