RE: Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

[Simon Fogarty]

Kristine,

What is the name or label on the USB flash drive you are using?

When your in computer that's the command shift c that alex mentioned,
 Are you able to tab through the different devices 
Also listen for any lists or tables that might require expansion!

But if you've not yet tried have a look at things with disk utility and see 
what external devices are connected.

Re: Is there an easy way to do math on the Mac?

[Jonathan Cohn]

Desmos can even show Unicode braille on a Macintosh. You have a choice of
UEB or Nemeth. I don’t know if it works for all of the products though. I
believe it also accepts Braille input, though you would need to be using
eight dot computer braille in order for that to work properly.

Re: Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

Re: HTML recommendation

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

I've just used TextEdit for this sort of thing.  When you open TextEdit, then 
create a new document, press cmd-shift-t to make the document into plain text 
mode.  You're able to enter your HTML within there now.  When you go to save 
it, put the html extension on the end instead of .txt.  If you save the html 
document to the Desktop, or wherever, you can then just press cmd-o to open it 
and it will open in Safari for checking.

Others may know some good editors, but, for my limited uses, TextEdit has 
worked fine.

Later...

I can think of two HTML editors: Smultron and Taco HTML Edit. I think you can

Attention: Actilino Users with Macs; Urgent Help Needed

Please contact me off list so as not to clutter things up. Nutshell version if 
you haven’t seen my earlier posts: I cannot locate any USB devices on my 
MacBook Air, and it is particularly important that I transfer some files to the 
Actilino. This used to work just fine before.
Thanks.

Re: Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Just to confirm that the device is actually functioning, go to your Desktop, 
then VO-m to access the menubar, right to the Go menu, down to Utilities.  In 
the Utilities folder, locate Disk Utility and open it.  After it's open, locate 
the table and interact with it.  Does it show the USB connected device or 
devices here?  If it does, then we know that the device is being read by the 
Mac, and we can go from here to determine a few other things.

I haven't followed this closely, so this may be a repeat. When you press 
cmd-shift-c, what do you get? This should show you all the external and 
internal drives on the Mac, as well as any networked drives available.

HTML recommendation

[Angus MacKinnon]

My iMac is using OS 10.11.6. during my Windows 7 days, I use to hand code HTML 
documents in a text editor. Is their a good Text Editor for OS 10.11.6? Should 
I just stick to Hand Coding HTML? Or is their a good HTML Editor that works 
with VoiceOver? Thank you for all responses.

   You are not seeing any devices connected to the USB port in the 
sidebar under the Devices heading? Have you done a reboot since this

RE: Using Hearing aids with Iphone, anyone has experience?

[David Griffith]

This was  precisely my experience with Com Pilot as well.
The Audiology centre then changed my hearing aids so I could not use it any 
more anyway.
I would steer well away from these products.
It was me that recommended the Amazon speaker.
I will be putting a reviews up on my blog in a few days. I agree that it is 
great.

I just got a ComPilot to connect my Phonak Nathos S+ Wireless hearing aid to my 
iPhone 7 Plus via Bluetooth. The results were very disappointing. The ComPilot 
made things more tinny and when I tried using BlindSquare, as soon as the GPS 
navigation app started speaking, the robotic ComPilot voice interrupted to 
announce “Bluetooth audio”! This obliterated tge first sentence of what 
BlindSquare was telling me. When BlindSquare stopped speaking, two seconds 
later ComPilot played tge “goodbye” beeps and stopped streaming. And when 
BlindSquare started speaking again, ComPilot obliterated that by announcing 
“Bluetooth audio” - and so it went on. I wrote to the manufacturer who sent me 
a form to print out to return it. I don’t know if all Phonak models react like 
this?
A cautionary tale!
Oh, by the way, the Amazon Basics waterproof and shockproof speaker someone on

Subject: Using Hearing aids with Iphone, anyone has experience?
 
Hello, 
I also live in the UK and have NHS hearing aids 1 for each ear. I use 
Music-Link+ stereo silhouette earhooks  available from www.connevans.co.uk for 
about £20. These hook over my behind the ear hearing aid to drive the inductive 
loop system in the hearing aid. They plug into the 3.5 mm audio jack socket on 
my iPhone 5S. I also use them with my iPod nano. I find the audio quality 
satisfactory and there are no delays as reported by others for bluetooth 
hearing aids. 
My hearing aids are set up to be independently adjustable for program and 
volume. Thus I can put both earhooks over one hearing aid to listen the iPhone 
while leaving the other hearing aid to listen to what is happening around me. 
At other times I can put each earhook over each hearing aid to fully enjoy 
music and drama in stereo. As they plug into the audio jack socket of my iPod 
Nano they connecting cable acts as an aerial for the FM radio in the iPod nano 
which I use a lot. Alas Apple has discontinued the iPod Nano so when mine no 
longer works I will miss FM radio. My iPhone is pay as you go so live radio 
will be expensive away from my wifi. It would be great if the iPhone included 
FM radio!
Hope this helps….

Things 3.6 upgrades task manager with Type Travel, full iPad keyboard support | 9to5Mac

[Kliphton Miller]

>> Cultured Code is releasing version 3.6 of its Things task manager, and the 
>> new update focuses on iPad users with full support for external keyboards. 
>> The goal of Things 3.6 is to make it possible to use the app on an iPad with 
>> an external keyboard without having to frequently touch the screen…
>> 
>> 
>> Things makes this possible with a combination of keyboard actions: item 
>> selection via arrow keys, and keyboard shortcuts for commands.
>> 
>> Before you can use a shortcut, you need a persistent selection in the list 
>> that you can target. So that’s exactly what we’ve built for Things 3.6.
>> 
>> To see what we mean, just open the app and tap the down arrow; you’ll see 
>> the first to-do selected. Now you can move the selection around with the 
>> arrow keys, or hold down shift and use the arrows to select more to-dos. 
>> Yes, it works just like the Mac!
>> 
>> As for the keyboard shortcuts users will want to use, Cultured Code 
>> highlights these:
>> 
>> Insert a to-do below your selection: Command + N
>> Open a to-do with Return and Tab around inside of it
>> Close the to-do again: Command + Return
>> Move items up or down the list: Command + Up / Down
>> Duplicate, copy, or paste items: Command + D / C / V
>> Set a date: Command + S
>> Mark it complete: Command + K
>> Things 3.6 also shows commonly used keyboard shortcuts when holding down the 
>> Command key just as you would expect, and holding down Command + Shift + ? 
>> opens this detailed webpage 
>>  with 
>> every keyboard shortcut explained. The number of actions mapped to keyboard 
>> shortcuts is really impressive.
>> 
>> Keyboard navigation and control also relies on a Mac feature Cultured Code 
>> calls Type Travel, and that’s now available on iPad:
>> 
>> It allows you to navigate Things with your keyboard. You don’t need a 
>> shortcut to use it – just start typing where in the app you want to go, and 
>> instantly you’re transported there. It’s magic.
>> 
>> In addition to comprehensive keyboard support, Things 3.6 adds three more 
>> features:
>> 
>> You can now drag & drop to-dos into Things’ sidebar to move them to other 
>> lists.
>> Tags and deadlines can now be applied to multiple to-dos at once: just 
>> select a group and tap ••• . Works on iPhone, too!
>> The iPad app now supports undo and redo.
>> Things 3.6 for iPad 
>> 
>>  is a free update for existing customers, and available for $19.99 on the 
>> App Store for new customers.

Re: Using Hearing aids with Iphone, anyone has experience?

[Harry Bell]

I just got a ComPilot to connect my Phonak Nathos S+ Wireless hearing aid to my 
iPhone 7 Plus via Bluetooth. The results were very disappointing. The ComPilot 
made things more tinny and when I tried using BlindSquare, as soon as the GPS 
navigation app started speaking, the robotic ComPilot voice interrupted to 
announce “Bluetooth audio”! This obliterated tge first sentence of what 
BlindSquare was telling me. When BlindSquare stopped speaking, two seconds 
later ComPilot played tge “goodbye” beeps and stopped streaming. And when 
BlindSquare started speaking again, ComPilot obliterated that by announcing 
“Bluetooth audio” - and so it went on. I wrote to the manufacturer who sent me 
a form to print out to return it. I don’t know if all Phonak models react like 
this?
A cautionary tale!
Oh, by the way, the Amazon Basics waterproof and shockproof speaker someone on 
the list recommended is wonderful!
Regards
Harry
