Re: Looking for Slack feedback from voiceover users on OSX and IOS

[Chris Meredith]

One thing that I’ve found helps with Slack is to set the VO modifiers to allow 
caps lock as an option.  My guess is that some sort of keyDown event gets fired 
whenever any key that would register does so (I.e. Option, particularly since 
it can be used to type extended characters), and pops focus into the input 
field.  Caps lock is handled entirely by the OS (illustrated nicely by how many 
hoops we have to jump through to pass that key to VMware Fusion), and is thus 
not intercepted by Slack.
Find is your friend.  Search for “new messages since” to find the date of the 
last message, then search backward for that date to read what went on in your 
absence.  One thing I can’t seem to do is close the pop-up windows such as, for 
instance, the search box, short of closing and reopening the app.  If Slack are 
engaging in public discourse with their blind users, I’d love to chime in, 
since Slack seems to be part of my complete breakfast set of 
tools I need at my employer.

Half a sec.  You lose points on the immigration scale for New Zealand if you’re

RE: I Need a Little Help in Safari

[M. Taylor]

Hello Jonathan,

Thanks to your hint, I was able to disable the audio via the Mute Tab, option.

I:
1.
Displayed all of the Tabs from within the Safari toolbar.

2.
Located the tab that corresponded with the article in question.

3.
Then, after interacting with that specific tab group, selected the Mute button.

Thank you,

Mark

Mark,

There is also a mute button built into the list of tabs that can be used. I 
wonder if you were reading the same article I was when I first needed that 
function.

I wanted to read 27 features of El Capetain the you never knew about, and a

Re: Use of "Move To" in Email

[Jonathan Cohn]

Another option is to create a keyboard shortcut for a specific folder even if 
it is not in your favourites.

I have not tried this personally, but the following should work.

1. Open systemPreferences keyboard 
2. Open shortcuts tab and select application 
3. Add a new item for the Mail application like 
"Move To->Family 
and assign a keyboard shortcut to the command.

If this works correctly, then you should see the shortcut key listed in the 
Messages->Move To->Family menu item.

Please note: I have not tested this out.


Best wishes,

Jonathan

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Hi Tim.

Now I’ve had a chance to play with Overdrive for the Mac, it’s very easy to use 
and much improved since I did the testing for RNIB a few years ago.

However, I don’t use Overdrive to listen to the book because of the limited 
time you can listen and so after a little while of getting use to what I had to 
do, I just put all the books on my Victor Reader stream SD card so as to get of 
the limitations.

Thanks Tim for all your help.

Kawal.

Re: To Devon, (was This blind Apple engineer is transforming the tech world at only 22

[Jonathan Cohn]

To bring this back on topic, you seem unconfident in your mobility skills. Have 
you attempted using any of the GPS tools available or is it more related to 
just understanding and appreciating non-visual feedback from the environment to 
let you know when corners or obstacles are present? 

If there are electronic tools available to help your mobility, I know we could 
help you learn to use them on this list. If it is more of the latter, sometimes 
you just have to practice on your own and see what happens.

I was recently with a individual who was transitioning to using a wheelchair. 
She didn't even take a day off from work to try and use her white cane with the 
wheel chair. 

 
Best wishes,

Jonathan

Re: I emptied the trash by unlocking the backup folder

[Jonathan Cohn]

Josh,

I expect that the important information in that chflags command is actually the 
nouchg part. In most unix file manipulation commands like chmod, cp   a dash 
capital R (-R) is used to say do this command recursively. In other words don't 
just change this folder but change every file and folder contained in the 
folder specified in path. 

I was thinking of suggesting you use the rm -rf  command to remove files on the 
disk, but decided this was too dangerous since if you do that command with the 
wrong path you will delete everything on the computer.


Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: Overdrive for the Mac.

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi Kawal,

When I pressed the Mac link, the download just started automatically.  So, even 
though it seemed to take you to an empty page, if you check in your Downloads 
folder, the installer dmg should be there.  Not sure how accessible things are 
after that.

Re: VMware Fusion: When the keyboard commands are not being sent to WIndows

[Jonathan Cohn]

control-` is I believe supposed to switch you around windows in Fusion. Other 
possibilities:

1. Make sure VO touch pad functions are disabled and three finger swipe to a 
the fusion full screen desktop.
2. Use Mission control to switch windows or desktops. It seems that a four 
finger swipe up will always bring up mission control. Mission control has three 
sections the first if clicked on creates a new desktop. The second lets you 
switch to or close a desktop and the third lists all windows. You do need to 
use interaction for the second and third section.


Best wishes,

Jonathan

Mark,

There is also a mute button built into the list of tabs that can be used. I

function.

I wanted to read 27 features of El Capetain the you never knew about, and a

Re: Reformatting drives on Mac: which entry in the table?

[Jonathan Cohn]

If you are migrating the disk from NTFS make sure that the partition map 
showing up in the physical disk is GUID partition map. Also, if you do the work 
from the first (physical) entry, at least in older versions of disk utility, 
you could specify the type of each partition there, so you wouldn't have to 
first do physical and then logical.


HTH,

Re: setting up rules in the mail app

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Hi Mark.

Just read your message about Icloud and setting up rules.  I would have said 
this if you had not pasted this article.  The only thing is that I can’t access 
Icloud at work as the site has been blocked so it won’t work if the website is 
blocked.

Re: Reformatting drives on Mac: which entry in the table?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

You are right with respect to the first item in the list.  With respect to your 
question about only formatting the volume, I'm not totally sure as I've never 
tried it.  You are able to have both Mac and Windows based partitions on one 
physical disk, but I've never tried it with the initial partition map being 
NTFS.  If it did work, you would not be able to boot from that disk, nor be 
able to use it for Time Machine, but likely for data.

Refer to https://support.apple.com/kb/PH22240?locale=en_US for some more info.

Re: Reformatting drives on Mac: which entry in the table?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

If changing it from NTFS to an Apple File System, I'd use the physical disk, 
not the volume label.  In most cases, it just matters what you plan on using 
the disk for.  The physical disk maps out what volumes etc are present, and the 
items in the sub-list are the volumes present on the physical disk.  So, if 
it's only going to be used for a Mac, especially if it's possible that you wish 
it to be used for Time Machine as well., then it's best to format it as MacOS 
Extended (Journaled).

HTH.

RE: setting up rules in the mail app

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hello Walter,

I am going to paste in a Mac World article, the link to which is located at the 
end of the text, that should shed some light on this, for you.

Mark

Five iCloud email tricks you probably missed

If you have an Apple ID, then you have an iCloud email account. This free 
account gives you up to 5GB storage for your emails, minus what you use for 
documents and other data you store in the cloud. It’s easy to work with your 
iCloud email from Apple’s Mail, on the Mac, or on an iOS device. Still, you may 
not know about the many extra options and features available if you log into 
iCloud on the Web. 

Before you can take advantage of any of the following tips, you need to turn on 
iCloud. If you already have an Apple ID, which you use on the iTunes store, you 
may never have set up iCloud. Read this article to get it up and running. Once 
you've done that, you can use your email account and these five tricks. 

1.
Access email anywhere 
While you may check your email on your Mac, iPhone or iPad, you can also access 
your messages on the Web. This is useful if you need to get or send email from 
a shared computer, but also if you need to send or receive files when you’re on 
the road. Just log into icloud.com, and click the Mail icon. You’ll have access 
to all of your email—and all of your contacts, if you’ve set iCloud to sync 
them—so you can send and receive messages and files. This can be useful if you 
need to get a file and print it out when you’re visiting a client or friend. 

2.
Create rules that work on all your devices
You can set up rules—filters that act on incoming email messages—using Mail for 
OS X. (See this article for tips on using rules.) But these rules only work on 
your Mac; they don’t have any effect on your iPhone or iPad, unless you leave 
your Mac on all the time. If your Mac’s not running, your email will simply 
flow into your iCloud account’s inbox. 

But you can set up rules on the icloud.com website that will move messages 
before they get to any of your devices. For example, you can filter your email 
so all the messages from your employer go into a specific mailbox. 

To do this, you need to create a new mailbox; you can do this on your Mac or 
iOS device, but with iCloud on the Web, just click the plus-sign (+) icon next 
to Folders, then type a name for the new mailbox. 

Next, click the gear icon at the top-right of the iCloud Mail interface, and 
choose Rules. Click Add a Rule, then choose one of the first conditions: if a 
message is from a specific person, has a subject containing a specific word, 
and so on. In the next field, enter an email address (for a specific person), a 
domain name, such as macworld.com (this will filter any messages from that 
domain), one or more words for subject filtering, and so on. 

In the next section, choose either Move to Folder, Move to Trash, or Forward 
to. Then select the folder to move the message to, or the email address to 
forward it to. Click Done, and the rule will become active. 

You can create rules so the iCloud sever will act on your email before it gets 
to your Mac or your iOS device.

Now, any messages meeting these conditions will be filtered on the iCloud 
server, and you won’t need to leave your Mac on to do the job. 

3.
Let everyone know you're away
Here’s something you can’t do in Mail on the Mac, or on iOS. If you’re away 
from work, or on vacation, you may want to set up an auto-response to tell 
people when you’ll be back. Click the gear icon at the top-right of the iCloud 
Mail page, then click Preferences. Click the Vacation icon, and check 
Automatically reply to messages when they are received. Enter the text you’d 
like sent, and then click Done. 

Set up an auto-response when you're away or on vacation.

You can combine this with Rules to route work messages to colleagues, too. 
After you’ve set up the auto-response, click Rules, and create a rule for 
specific addresses or domains, and forward them to the person at work who’s 
filling in for you while you’re away. When you get back from your trip, just 
delete the rule. 

4.
Forward emails to another account
You probably don’t have just an iCloud account; you may have another account 
for work as well. If you get some emails in your iCloud account, you can choose 
to forward them all to another account. This is a good way to use your iCloud 
account for some of your email, and download it when you check your main email 
account. Instead of checking two accounts, you can just check one. 

Click the gear icon at the top-right of the iCloud Mail page, click 
Preferences, and then click General. Next to Forwarding, check Forward my email 
to, and enter an email address, such as your other account. You can also check 
Delete messages after forwarding, if you don’t want them clogging up your 
iCloud mailbox. 

5.
Avoid spam with iCloud aliases
Set up email aliases to protect your main address from spam. Use an alias to 
sign up for online new

Re: A question I'd really like some serious thought to be given to regarding iOS.

[Jessica Moss]

I find Garage band to be a real disappointment to work with as well, which is 
really upsetting to me.  My dad does a lot with it on his ipad, and uplodes it 
to facebook, so I thought I could possibly create some of those same tracks, 
until I tried in vain and after accidentally taping on drums I didn’t want, and 
not being able to correct them, then after watching him create tracks with his 
ipad, seeing how he was able to take them in and out on the fly, something you 
apparently can’t do with voiceover, and how knowing your musical notes helps 
(something I’m not good with) I’ve for the most part given it up.

Re: Reformatting drives on Mac: which entry in the table?

[Jeffrey Shockley]

Hi,
I always have chosen the entry in the table where the name of the partition on 
the drive you want to reformat is listed. The one below where it has the 
physical device listed. This method has always worked for me. Hopefully, it 
will for you as well. :)
I hope this helps,

Reformatting drives on Mac: which entry in the table?

[Alex Hall]

Hey list,
Something I've wondered for a long time but never bothered to check out is 
this. When reformatting a drive in OS X--sorry, macOS--Disk Utility shows me a 
table of disks. Most have two entries, one for the physical device and one for 
each volume on that device, I presume. I'm not even sure if that's correct. 
When reformatting, which do I choose? My mother has a 1TB NTFS drive that she 
wants me to reformat for use on a Mac. I've backed it up, and know to use the 
right file system and all that. What I'm wondering is which entry in the disks 
table to choose. Thanks.

RE: I Need a Little Help in Safari

[M. Taylor]

Hello Erik,

Thank you for the Command+Shift+R tip; I'd forgotten all about it.  While using 
that key combo made the text easier to navigate, it did nothing to stop/or even 
access the video controls.

By the way, I read the Safari help article, on the web and I did not see the 
listing for the Command+Shift+R key combo.

RE: setting up rules in the mail app

[M. Taylor]

Hello Walter,

I am going to paste in a Mac World article, the link to which is located at the 
end of the text, that should shed some light on this, for you.

Mark

Five iCloud email tricks you probably missed

If you have an Apple ID, then you have an iCloud email account. This free 
account gives you up to 5GB storage for your emails, minus what you use for 
documents and other data you store in the cloud. It’s easy to work with your 
iCloud email from Apple’s Mail, on the Mac, or on an iOS device. Still, you may 
not know about the many extra options and features available if you log into 
iCloud on the Web. 

Before you can take advantage of any of the following tips, you need to turn on 
iCloud. If you already have an Apple ID, which you use on the iTunes store, you 
may never have set up iCloud. Read this article to get it up and running. Once 
you've done that, you can use your email account and these five tricks. 

1.
Access email anywhere 
While you may check your email on your Mac, iPhone or iPad, you can also access 
your messages on the Web. This is useful if you need to get or send email from 
a shared computer, but also if you need to send or receive files when you’re on 
the road. Just log into icloud.com, and click the Mail icon. You’ll have access 
to all of your email—and all of your contacts, if you’ve set iCloud to sync 
them—so you can send and receive messages and files. This can be useful if you 
need to get a file and print it out when you’re visiting a client or friend. 

2.
Create rules that work on all your devices
You can set up rules—filters that act on incoming email messages—using Mail for 
OS X. (See this article for tips on using rules.) But these rules only work on 
your Mac; they don’t have any effect on your iPhone or iPad, unless you leave 
your Mac on all the time. If your Mac’s not running, your email will simply 
flow into your iCloud account’s inbox. 

But you can set up rules on the icloud.com website that will move messages 
before they get to any of your devices. For example, you can filter your email 
so all the messages from your employer go into a specific mailbox. 

To do this, you need to create a new mailbox; you can do this on your Mac or 
iOS device, but with iCloud on the Web, just click the plus-sign (+) icon next 
to Folders, then type a name for the new mailbox. 

Next, click the gear icon at the top-right of the iCloud Mail interface, and 
choose Rules. Click Add a Rule, then choose one of the first conditions: if a 
message is from a specific person, has a subject containing a specific word, 
and so on. In the next field, enter an email address (for a specific person), a 
domain name, such as macworld.com (this will filter any messages from that 
domain), one or more words for subject filtering, and so on. 

In the next section, choose either Move to Folder, Move to Trash, or Forward 
to. Then select the folder to move the message to, or the email address to 
forward it to. Click Done, and the rule will become active. 

You can create rules so the iCloud sever will act on your email before it gets 
to your Mac or your iOS device.

Now, any messages meeting these conditions will be filtered on the iCloud 
server, and you won’t need to leave your Mac on to do the job. 

3.
Let everyone know you're away
Here’s something you can’t do in Mail on the Mac, or on iOS. If you’re away 
from work, or on vacation, you may want to set up an auto-response to tell 
people when you’ll be back. Click the gear icon at the top-right of the iCloud 
Mail page, then click Preferences. Click the Vacation icon, and check 
Automatically reply to messages when they are received. Enter the text you’d 
like sent, and then click Done. 

Set up an auto-response when you're away or on vacation.

You can combine this with Rules to route work messages to colleagues, too. 
After you’ve set up the auto-response, click Rules, and create a rule for 
specific addresses or domains, and forward them to the person at work who’s 
filling in for you while you’re away. When you get back from your trip, just 
delete the rule. 

4.
Forward emails to another account
You probably don’t have just an iCloud account; you may have another account 
for work as well. If you get some emails in your iCloud account, you can choose 
to forward them all to another account. This is a good way to use your iCloud 
account for some of your email, and download it when you check your main email 
account. Instead of checking two accounts, you can just check one. 

Click the gear icon at the top-right of the iCloud Mail page, click 
Preferences, and then click General. Next to Forwarding, check Forward my email 
to, and enter an email address, such as your other account. You can also check 
Delete messages after forwarding, if you don’t want them clogging up your 
iCloud mailbox. 

5.
Avoid spam with iCloud aliases
Set up email aliases to protect your main address from spam. Use an alias to 
sign up for online new

I emptied the trash by unlocking the backup folder

[Joshua Tubbs]

Hi everyone,
So I figured out the problem regarding the trash and my Time Machine backup. 
The solution is pretty simple actually, at least for me.
Setting chflags to -R on any file will unlock it if it happens to be locked. 
So, in terminal, you can do:
chflags -R nouchg 
To have the path of the trash files or any file path in finder auto-filled in, 
you can simply drag it to the terminal. Believe it or not, with the finder, 
this works with VoiceOver’s drag and drop commands.
I then emptied the trash and it successfully emptied.
HTH.

Re: Deleting a Time Machine Backup in the trash

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

The Trash for each media device is kept on that device.  So, the Trash for an 
external drive will reside on that drive itself.  Therefore, erasing the drive 
will also eliminate its related Trash.  You will, likely, need to turn off Time 
Machine before the erase will be permitted.

Re: Deleting a Time Machine Backup in the trash

[Tim Kilburn]

Simon,

That's a very good suggestion.  I've done just that on occasion.  If your 
backup folder is rather large, like 2, 3 or 4 TB, it actually takes quite a 
while to empty the Trash.  It can even make you believe that your computer has 
hung, even though it has not.  Once you turn off Time Machine, you can then 
erase the HD where the backup resides, and it will be a much quicker and 
actually cleaner process for your backup HD.

Subject: Deleting a Time Machine Backup in the trash

Hi everyone,
I am wondering how to delete a time machine backup in the trash? I delete the 
trash, tell it that I want to remove all items, including locked ones, but then 
it tells me that some of the backup folders, such as the user folder, which is 
now on this new Mac, my home folder and something dated something in July, are 
all in use.
Is there any way to delete this? I want it completely trashed. Furthermore, I 
don’t have a drive bigger than my now current internal of 2 TB, so I guess I 
won’t be using Time Machine for now. I wonder if there are other, better backup 
utilities I can use instead?
I thought about paying for a Bazkblaze subscription to back this stuff up. Not 
sure if there’s anything better than Backblaze.
Thanks all.

Re: Can't delete my time machine backups folder due to not having permissions?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

To verify that you're an Admin, go into system Preferences, Users & Groups and 
interact with the Users, Groups & Login Options list.  Your user will be listed 
there and should also announce whether it's just a "User" or an "Admin".  
Regarding emptying the Trash, The Backup item is still linked to Time Machine, 
so it will not allow you to totally get rid of it.  To get around this, go into 
System Preferences, Time Machine and turn Time Machine off.  Once it is off, 
you should be able to empty the Trash.  If not, then you may still need to 
restart then empty.  After it has been emptied, you can go back into System 
Prefs, Time Machine and turn it back on.

Hey Scott,

Don't forget online options.  Most campuses offer a lot of their Gen Ed 
classes--and some other as well--online.  Obviously, you have the option of an 
online degree like David mentioned, but you also have the option of a more 
traditional degree with just completing your core requirements online.  There 
are tons of different possible configurations.  And I agree with David, by the 
way.  If this is important for you, go for it.  Like I said, you're quite 
obviously intelligent enough to do this, you just need to figure out the best 
option for you.
Cheers,
Donna

RE: Mac Mini and wireless headphones

[Martin Brown]

Thanks Simon, Scott and others for the suggestions as how to solve my problem 
with the wireless headphones. Turns out that the problem was a router hub that 
was causing the interference. Now that I have unplugged the offending little so 
and so, sound heaven has returned to this neck of the woods.

So my guess here is that the interference is 60 cycle hum is that correct, 50 
for you folks across the pond.  Would you say that’s the case?

I’m wondering if the jack size is different enough and or you’re plugging the 
line in and out in the wrong place type of thing.  I’m just trying to think of 
the things that have generated that sort of sound that I’ve done in the past 
and that’s a really simple one that’s caught me up before.  Might be a pin out 
deal as well if the jack you’re using is one of the integrated microphone / 
stereo combos that’s a little bit longer than your standard 8th inch jack.  
Also, some apples have a single line in and out that censes, the censing 
mechanism mightn’t be working, and others have separate.

Hope I didn’t confuse things.

Yes, Simon, I could not immigrate here. I immigrated independently. Most blind 
people who immigrate do so as the partner of a Kiwi. I did not just want to 
come here to work. I wished to become a citizen. To do so, I needed to match 
the immigration skills list and have enough points. Also, I needed to prove I 
could live independently. It would have been been much easier had I married a 
Kiwi.

 Thank you, Scott.  I've been thinking about how to respond to this message
 since last night.  You hit the nail on the head.
 
 Devon, no, I can't imagine why on earth you would be at an adult learning
 facility.  Do you have any ideas about what kind of career you might like 
 to
 pursue?  I would suggest a visit to a community college as a starting 
 point.
 Meet with a career counselor there, a regular career counselor is going to
 be much more likely to help you generate a broader list of options. Then
 maybe start by taking a couple of classes there.  That would be a good way
 to get your feet wet and figure out if a four-year college is for you.  If
 it's not, it will still help you come up with some better options for
 yourself than what you currently have.
 Cheers,
 Donna

Hi everyone,
So, this backups.upd or whatever is still in my trash. Going to empty the trash 
normally causes an endless loop of “X” still in use, even after a restart.
When I go to the “delete immediately” option in the trash, it says I don’t have

Help? I hate having stuff in my trash.
Thanks.

Scott,

You always have time to go back and attend university.

I went to a university directly after high school and flunked out. I never 
reported that year to any other education institution. This way, I escaped the 
C- GPA drag.

I then attended community college for a few years part-time, only taking 
classes that interested me. I then went to massage school (a 9 month program 
which I graduated from when I was 27).

When I was 38, I decided I wanted to x-patriate myself from the US. I looked 
into it and discovered that I would need a masters degree because I am blind. 
So, I looked at my skills and realised I have excellent understanding of 
business. So, I located a fully accredited (highest accreditation in US is 
regional which is the only one accepted overseas), and applied to and entered 
an online university which met the criteria. A year later, I graduated at the 
top of my class with a bachelors. Thanks to the appropriate accreditation, and 
my grades, I easily entered a masters program when I was 40.

The truth is, university was much easier for me when I returned at 38. I had 
developed the drive and focus which I lacked when I was 18. Put another way, 
now is as good a time as any to go back to university.

 David, I like your history, not to point out a bad thing but I like your

 I always hid my blindness when possible while doing business.  I had for a 
 while, especially during my first attempt, sited folks that I put out 
 front and I mainly dealt with people through telephones or email etc.  
 This worked for several years although there were reporters and other 
 people very interested in my business (an internet provider) at the time 
 who made it challenging to hide.  I would actually only allow these people 
 close if I was able to maintain control and final approval whether 
 something would be released and I had a marketing person for a while who I 
 made review everything to make sure no hints leaked out.  I remember 
 meeting a fellow business owner later in the history of that company who 
 convinced me to completely drop that policy and had his marketing droid 
 try to convince me to use my image in marketing campaigns which I never 
 went that far but I definitely loosened things up.  I’m glad though that 
 person got through to me.

Devin,

I’m not trying to be rude here but it’s not what your mum or dad like it’s what 
you like and want to do with your life.

If you want to work with adaptive tech then you do it if you want to be a 
lawyer then do that, it’s what you want that matters don’t’ let other people 
make your chhoices for you.

Be your own person independence will take you along way in life and show those 
out there that you are able to do things without assistance.

Don’t get me wrong we all need help along the way but then so do the able 
bodied of the world also.

Good luck with what choices you make.

Wow, pretty cool. Well I finally got to talk to my counsellor, and she told me 
that the Lionsworld training is in October or somewhere around there, so I 
haven’t missed it. In the meantime, I’ll try to go through college prep, or at 
least some of it, to try and learn to study better and things like that, just 
in case I have to do that in training to be an assistive technology instructor. 
Also, though, if I wind up not liking the job, I can still go through college 
afterwards to get another job. I know that won’t be easy, and my mom won’t like 
my insistence to go through with the Lionsworld training, but I’ll give it a 
try, and see where things go.

I went to a community college too for my first semester of college after I

attend a four year college.  Taking your general ed classes at a community

Hi Donna and Devin,

Devin, if your as sheltered as you make it sound, Donnas suggestion of a
community college would be a great idea, you would also get to meet many
other people from all walks of life.

I’ve met truckloads of people from my studies at University
I would tell my family where to get off if my parents had tried to put me
into a group living situation.

Thank you, Scott.  I've been thinking about how to respond to this message
since last night.  You hit the nail on the head.

Devon, no, I can't imagine why on earth you would be at an adult learning
facility.  Do you have any ideas about what kind of career you might like to
pursue?  I would suggest a visit to a community college as a starting point.
Meet with a career counselor there, a regular career counselor is going to
be much more likely to help you generate a broader list of options. Then
maybe start by taking a couple of classes there.  That would be a good way
to get your feet wet and figure out if a four-year college is for you.  If
it's not, it will still help you come up with some better options for
yourself than what you currently have.
Cheers,
Donna

Can't delete my time machine backups folder due to not having permissions?

[Joshua Tubbs]

Hi everyone,
So, this backups.upd or whatever is still in my trash. Going to empty the trash 
normally causes an endless loop of “X” still in use, even after a restart.
When I go to the “delete immediately” option in the trash, it says I don’t have 
permissions.
Help? I hate having stuff in my trash.
Thanks.

RE: Deleting a Time Machine Backup in the trash

[Simon Fogarty]

I don't use timemachine but I suggest it for a backup to anyone that has a mac.

 It's built in and therefore free and more reliable than most.

Hi,

If you restart your Mac, you should be able to empty the trash.  Regarding a 
better backup solution, others may disagree, but I believe that Time Machine is 
your best option.  How much of your 2 TB internal is free?  The recommendation 
of a drive being twice the size of what it's backing up assumes that you're 
using a large portion of its space.  If you are using less than 1 TB on your 
internal drive, then a 2 TB external should do the trick.

RE: Deleting a Time Machine Backup in the trash

What about just eraising the intire disk using disk utilities?

 That will give you a clean slate to start again with.

 And if you have everything on your new machine then your not going to lose 
anything 

Just a thought.
