Re: musescore anyone?

[Wayne Pearcy]

Hi Kare,

 I will check out that website as well. That seems like it might be very 
cumbersome trying to create a professional looking score through a web browser. 
Are you a music student? I teach at the Berklee College of Music in a program 
for blind and visually impaired students, and we teach Sibelius on windows, and 
ProTools for the Mac. Maybe we can chat off list if you have any other 
questions.

Best,
Wayne

Re: Ahead of iPhone 8, Virgin Mobile extends 'all you can eat for one year for $1' deal to switchers

[Brent Harding]

Now that this came out, I'm thinking of dumping my regular Sprint plan for 
this deal, even at $50 a month, it still sounds like it would shave at least 
$20 a month off the bill. Would Virgin still support using the wifi calling 
I often use on Sprint when I'm at home or have wifi available? I understand 
that during times of peak congestion that Virgin and the other Sprint 
resellers get less priority than one would get by paying that $20 a month 
premium, but would that really mean much most of the time? Is there any good 
reason, if one was going to want to stay with the Sprint network to not save 
money and jump on this Virgin inner circle bandwagon?

Mary, yes they do, they bought Virgin from Beardy Branson a few years ago.

Ahead of iPhone 8, Virgin Mobile extends 'all you can eat for one year 
for

$1' deal to switchers

Virgin Mobile really loves iPhone users . After going iPhone-only back 
in
June, and offering a really sweet deal to those buying a new phone, it 
has
now extended the offer to existing iPhone owners switching to the 
carrier.
The carrier says that any iPhone owner who ports their number to Virgin 
will

be able to get the same 'all you can eat' $1 deal for a full 12 months .

When you bring your existing iPhone and transfer your phone number to 
the
"Inner Circle" plan, you will enjoy 12 months of unlimited talk, text 
and

high-speed data for just $1 on Virgin Mobile's nationwide network.
After the first year, you'll be switched to the company's standard
'unlimited everything' plan, which costs $50 per month. The deal needn't 
end
there, though: you'll get an additional six months of service for $1 if 
you

upgrade to a new iPhone.
As we noted before, the usual carrier caveats apply: your data usage may 
be
'deprioritized' if you go over 23GB a month, and terminated altogether 
if
you do a lot of roaming. To qualify, you'll need an iPhone 5s or later, 
and
the offer is subject to confirmation of compatibility with Virgin's 
network.
Virgin says that the deal is open for a short time, but doesn't specify 
a

cutoff date.
"At Virgin Mobile, we don't like playing by the rules, even our own," 
said
Dow Draper, CEO of Virgin Mobile USA. "Consumers know that the Inner 
Circle

is the real deal, but many love their current phones or don't want to
upgrade yet. So, now for a short period of time, you can bring your own
iPhone to Virgin Mobile and enjoy everything the Inner Circle offers -
including the savings - $1 for 12 months of service. It's also a great 
way

to try out the Virgin Mobile network with your own iPhone."
It does say that there will be a $25 charge for the SIM from September 
29.

Fasten App on iOS - IOS VoiceOver Focus Stuck in the Status Bar or "return to search"

[Mika Pyyhkala]

I am having an odd problem in the Fasten (a ridesharing app in Boston
and Austin, + possibly others) app, but I'm not sure if the issue is
specific to the app.

I am able to go in to the app and select my origin and destination.

However, on the confirmation screen, wherever I tap, the focus is either on
"return to search"
or part of the status bar
i.e.
"3 of 3 bars)
etc.

I cannot move VoiceOver focus away from either of the two above areas.

The only work around I have done is to 3x Home to close voiceover and
then tap on the button blind to try to request the ride.

Once the ride is requested, the issue also largely goes away.

I also have a spare iPhone 5S running now iOS 11 so I am going to do a
test and see if that gets the same results.

Anyone ever heard of an issue like this?  Do you think its more a
Fasten or Apple bug?

Thanks,
Mika

Thanks for that opinion.
actually I intended adding this website,

Which allows for notation  entirely via browser.
There are apparently ios and android options  there as well.
Given accessible differs from person to person, I intend exploring both 
doors.

RE: airpods and apple watch

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Pair iPhone and Airpods.
Power off and back on Apple watch.
Choose airplay on Apple watch, then choose airpods.
Once it connects to watch, if you accidentally bump your phone's screen, the 
airpods will switch devices.

Hi Donna,

 All I could really say here is that it's fixed within IOS 11,

Still you have to tell the watch to connect to the pods, but it does work or 
did a couple of weeks ago when I last used it.

Oh and that's with the latest watch OS and IOS 11.

Good luck.

Hi Anders,

MacOS Server is an app available in the MacApp Store.  In Canada, it's $20, or 
$19.99 to be exact.  Not sure how much it is for you folks over across the 
Atlantic, but it shouldn't be much more comparatively.

Re: wifi modem / routers

[Scott Granados]

So right now I’m using a Night Hawk X4 8500 from Net Gear.  Supports triband 
WiFi, the ability to aggregate two of the ethernet ports, 8 antennas, and a 
nice healthy forwarding rate.  You might also want to look at one of the mesh 
systems like the Amplifi which has a few more knobs so could be customized for 
your setup.

How’s that?

RE: error 404

Hi:
Yes, she can access links on Safari on the iPad.
I've gone back through my sent mail and found a message with a link, opened it, 
and opened the link in the email. No issues there. That was my thought as well. 
I'm just stumped.

Subject: Re: error 404

Error 404 is a web browser error meaning the page couldn't be found.

You need to figure out where the problem is, or ask more specific questions 
here. There's little anyone can say to help you without more information.

Some possibilities:

1.) Is she able to access links at all? What happens if she opens
the browser and accesses content on the web? Does that work?

2.) How do you know the link you're sending her is OK? How did you
confirm that?

Question 2 is not meant to offend. Please understand. It's important to verify 
with precision that what you think you're sending is what's actually being 
sent, and then that it's actually what's being received.


Good luck!

Strange happenings when trying to install VOCR

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hello and sorry for the cross posting to many lists, so those who have seen 
this before don’t need to read it again.
I’m trying to install the VOCR macros and have encountered a very odd problem 
here.
I’m running the ”import VOCR macros” application and nothing at all happens. I 
have done what was suggested by running the ”install.command” file and all 
seemed to go well. Then i tried to import the macros and when i open the 
application for doing that, nothing happens, no indication that something bad 
has occurred but no alert that a script or more have been imported to Keyboard 
maestro either, only nada nothing happens. What obvious thing am i missing?

Re: error 404

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

Error 404 is a web browser error meaning the page couldn't be found.

You need to figure out where the problem is, or ask more specific
questions here. There's little anyone can say to help you without more
information.

Some possibilities:

1.) Is she able to access links at all? What happens if she opens
the browser and accesses content on the web? Does that work?

2.) How do you know the link you're sending her is OK? How did you
confirm that?

Question 2 is not meant to offend. Please understand. It's important to
verify with precision that what you think you're sending is what's
actually being sent, and then that it's actually what's being received.


Good luck!

Janina

Re: VoiceOver Question.

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Stacy,

In VoiceOver Utility, under Speech, set all the categories of voice to Default. 
You can then change the voice on the fly using VO-Cmd-Down Arrow. I do this all 
the time to switch between English and French.

Cheers,

RE: Smart TV

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi,

I don’t remember having to set anything up on my tv it was a case of plug / 
connect the apple tv’s to the Samsung tv and now anytime I hit my apple tv’s 
remote the tv comes on to my HDMI channel 2, I’ve got my blueray plugged in to 
HDMI 1 and my new chrome cast ultra in HDMI 4 and all of them start the tv 
automatically when I activate them.

My apple tv 2gen also did this with it’s remote as well.

So sometimes there is a configuration to enable auto-on when Apple TV wakes up? 
Does anybody know if Samsung TV's have this in their options menus. I can 
control volume via HDMI so one would expect that power should also be able to 
be controlled.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Simon, not sure which chrome cast you have but it works great on my Current 
model Samsung and auto switches beautifully.  For example, I can have my TV 
totally powered down and say to google home “play Star Trek on master bedroom 
TV from Netflix” and it automatically powers on the TV and by the time the TV 
boots the show is already streaming.  The chrome cast also supplies 4K.  The 
model I have is called the Ultra not sure if that’s what you’re using.  You may 
have to enable HDMI controls as well although in my set at least they were on 
by default.  Not sure what’s up there.

Hi ET,

Sorry fo rthe delay.

Ok so over xmas new year this year I spent a few weeks looking into accessible 
tv's here in NZ,

Unlike in the USA UK and austrailia  Samsung have removed the voice guidance 
feature or screen reader from their NZ model devices, at least in the 2016 and 
later models.

I located a 2015 UHD 4K 55inch screen with all and more than I wanted.

I can't say I'm a fan of the in built features such as Netflix and the 
webbrowser but he screen reader is great as it lets me set the device up myself.

As for auto switching
Yeah sure does,

When I press a button on my apple tv Gen 4 remote  the tv switchs on and to the 
HDMI channel the atv is connected to,

My blue ray player does the same thing when I press eject to open the tray and 
put my disk in,

I can't get my chrome cast to do this though, however I don't use it a lot so 
don't worry about ti,

The only real issues I have with the auto switching is when I want to listen to 
music through my ATV  it turns the tv on also

A pain in the a when you don't need a picture or even have one this I didin't 
need to worry about when I had the gen 3 as I used optical to connect to the 
sound system.

Hope this somewhat helps.-Original Message-

I’m looking for a VPN service either existing that I can use to connect from my

I just want something to connect from the remote device to the home end and

I’m not sure free is the best option but thoughts greatfully appreciated.

This is just dumb, all music is about sex drugs and what ever is current at the 
time.  What do you think they are singing about in the majority of operas or in 
classical music through until today.

All this is a reason for the hyper religious to deny life itself, it’s 
irritating and it’s stupid but then again so is the belief in fictional 
characters.

Religion can’t afford for freedom of thought so it just crushes all validity in 
a subject with dumb ass blanket statements like that.

RE: Migration assistant question

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Donna,

 Have you got your old mac book in target disk mode?

I assume you are using some cable type be it network or thunderbolt or are you 
using wifi?

 The last time I did a migration it required the older machine to be in target 
disk mode which is a case of turning the machine completely off and then hold 
the "T" key down while the machine starts up, then see if your new mac book 
picks up the older device.

 Oh and target disk mode from memory doesn't have any audio indication that 
it's in the mode.

 Hope this helps.

 If by any chance this doesn't work,
Possibly your new mac book is broken and then you'll need to send it to me to 
have it fixed!

I'll even give you 5 bucks for it to say thanks

 I mean pay for the repairs...

Lol..

Hi all,

I am trying to migrate content from my old Mac to my new one. For the first 
time, I am trying to use migration assistant rather than a time machine back 
up, because my recollection is that someone on this list that that is a better 
way to do this.

Both Max have been stuck in the same place for about two hours now. On the new 
Mac voiceover is saying checking Donna's MacBook air. The continue button is 
dimmed. There is a progress bar, but voiceover does not give me any information 
about it. Two hours seems like a very long time to be stuck in the same place. 
I have not yet checked what content I want to migrate. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Donna

 Probably late on this but when you turn it on, tap / press the fingerprint 
button on the right handside three quick times and vo type gives you the

Yeah it's a known issue with the watch os and earpods,

 I can say it will work better when IOS 11 is released.

I can now go on to my watch and and Bluetooth  tap my pods to connect to them

RE: vpn services

[Simon Fogarty]

There are a number of cloud based vpn systems out there such as log me in and 
express vpn where you subscribe to their service and then vpn connect to a 
cloud based system that directs you back to yoru home machines
But bloody costly in the case of log me in.

Michael,

What is your purpose? VPN gets confusing because one can use the technology for 
stealth purposes or to access services securely when not local.

If your desire as the original poster was is to access "home" devices while on 
the road then your  not going to want to use a cloud service. You really want a 
router or UNIX server that can provide network tunneling that is located on the 
edge between your home systems and the ISP's network.

If you want to set up a web server on the other hand, I would recommend using a 
cloud service and then either using secure FTP or a VPN service to upload 
content to the cloud service. I expect this is already part of the package of 
the cloud provider though Essentially you have to be able to do maintenance and 
content updates on your server if you only have a few pages you will probably 
want the cloud provider to do all the maintenance and all you need to do is 
drop HTML / JS / CSS files in the appropriate places which can be done with 
SFTP or Kerberos enabled FTP.

Now, if you are touring around coffee shops and need to get work done this 
would be the third use of VPN technology. In this case look at tunnel bear or 
Witopia or any of several other small providers. Essentially they are putting 
UNIX servers in network data centers and then allowing tunnels from that server 
back to your computers. On the other end the UNIX server just spews out the 
data to the regular Internet but it then appears like  you are connected inside 
the data center. This provides two services:
1. All traffic leaving your system is encrypted and just looks like garbage all 
going to the VPN provider. Second, you can make it look like you are in Germany 
even when connected to the Internet in Hong Kong.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

You could also build a server with two NICs and put one on the inside network,

is you can use existing hardware in your collection but more setup work on the

You could also buy some hardware on eBay used.  Something like 
an old Cisco ASA or Juniper SRX that you would wire up similarly and or use as

Just a ew ideas.

Hi good people.
When i used Android a short while there was an app called ”smart audio book

book player for iOs that can be used with audio books in .mp3 format and that 
can be used even outside the US? The reason for the last question is that i 
live in Sweden and i don’t think we can use apps like Bard Mobile there.

For some reason my minis volume is bloody low and not going up so gotta find a

As for fires, yeah NZ have sent a large number of personnel  over to give a

Hi Simon,

Yes, it's simply a tunnel so as long as you enter the proper credentials, it 
shouldn't matter whether you're dealing with Mac or Windows.

Yes, I'm out of the fire zone this year.  Nothing left to burn around us :).  
There have been some smaller fires within 70 to 80 kilometres but not really 
any big concerns to many of us.  The worst of it all is in British Columbia, 
just on the other side of the Rockies from us.  My Dad lives close to a rather 
aggressive one that ignited a couple of days ago, but so far he's not worried.  
Lots of smoke and often difficult to see particularly far, and rough for folks 
with respiratory ailments.

Let me know if you have any issues trying to set things up.
