Re: my external hard drive

[Eric Oyen]

If it’s making an unusual noise, try running some of the test tools available. 
There is a SMART Monitor utility you can download to check out the drive (might 
not support USB drives) and see if it’s showing indications of a probable 
failure. In leu of that, start pricing a new drive and be ready to copy all 
datas if you acquire 1.

Re: cycling through windows on my Mac mini

[Lorie McCloud]

oh. I'll give it a shot. I know I've brought this up before and what bothers me 
is that my Mac didn't always act like this. I've tried to make sure all the 
settings were optimized for what I want but I'll try the window chooser. am not 
very familiar with it but it'll probably be easy once I get used to it.

Simplehelp: How to Display Folders First in Finder (macOS Mojave)

[M. Taylor]

Simplehelp: How to Display Folders First in Finder (macOS) 

Posted: 30 Nov 2018 12:09 PM PST

A somewhat recent feature update to macOS now allows you to sort your files
and folders in Finder such that the folders always display first, at the top
of the 'list'. Here's how! 
 
1.
Open up a Finder window and select Finder from the Menu Bar and then
Preferences. from the list of options. 
 
2.
Select the Advanced tab from the top of the Preferences window. Locate the
section titled Keep folders on top: and then place a check in the box next
to In windows when sorting by name. If you'd like to have your folders
displayed first on your Desktop as well, place a check in the box next to On
Desktop as well. 
 
3.
Now when you sort your files and folders by name, the folders will always
appear at the top of the list - no matter which 'view' you're using in
Finder (icon view, list view, column or gallery view).

Hi,

How about you use the Window chooser.  VO-f2-f2 brings up the list of available 
windows.  Arrow to the one you want, press return and you're there.

my external hard drive

[Lorie McCloud]

my 2 tb external hard drive makes some unsettling noises when it's running. at 
first I thought it was my computer because my Dell used to sound like that when 
it was booting up or otherwise working hard but I haven't noticed my Mac doing 
anything like that. it makes these sounds for awhile after it spins up and I 
wouldn't find that too unusual but now it just keeps on sounding like that for 
as long as it's running. is it something I should be concerned about? it's my 
only external hard drive and I'd really like to avoid its crashing at least 
until I can replace it.

thanks.

Re: Deleting contacts from iCloud on the mac?

[Jonathan Cohn]

There are a few ways to get double contacts, sometimes one can merge 
duplications to prevent it re-happening. If you are getting contacts from both 
Google and iCloud for example. Also, in several versions of MacOS contacts 
would add Facebook and LinkedIn contacts automatically unless you asked it not 
to. 

In any case your answers are in the cards menu for the contacts app. The first 
thing to try is "Look for duplicates…"" if you start this menu it will tell you 
how many duplicates it finds and you can then allow it to automatically remove 
duplicates. I believe you can also view each pair of duplicates and pick the 
one that is most correct, I have had no luck doing this since I could stop 
reading the screen, but I have not tried it in 3 or 4 versions of the OS.
The second option to control contacts is the "Merrge selected contacts" This 
will take all the selected contacts and merge them into one contact entry. If 
there are conflicts that the contacts app can't resolve directly, it will put 
some of the conflicting information into the Notes area of a contact.
Third, you can delete contacts manually with either the delete key or command 
delete. Or else just using the edit menu and selecting delete.

 

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: Deleting contacts from iCloud on the mac?

[Chris Moore]

Hi Matt,
The first question I would ask is how did you get double contacts on your 
phone?  You may have an extra source of contacts on your phone.  If your mac 
and phone are pulling contacts ONLY from iCloud, then they should match.  Your 
phone may be accessing an additional source of contacts.  You can check this is 
your contacts app.

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

[Pete De Vasto]

Hi Simon,

The VMWare machine files should be located in your Documents > Virtual Machines 
folder. The name of each machine is  dot 
VmWareBundle, and it’s described as a VMWare bundle. If you move that file to a 
flash drive, then copy it back to your new image, I think you’ll be OK.

 Mail, Messages or whatever.
 Press Control+command+f again, and you should hear VO say “Space

 you know you are in the VMWare window. Press Control+G to give 
 keyboard focus to the VM machine. Oh yeah, and the keystroke to

 Control+Windows combination as its command. I normally do Windows+R, 
 then type Narrator, and it does come up. Then, to get out of 
 Narrator, I have to alt-tab to the Narrator Settings window, and 
 when I press Alt+F4, Narrator does exit. If you can get to the point

 the way. I started out with VMWare 10, and my USB devices, including

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

[kelly ford]

Hello,

Yes the volume is up and again
If I play Music or other audio as well as any sounds a screen readers make I 
hear that already. Also, if I switch to a USB sound card, the screen reader 
audio kicks in just fine.

I guess for now I'll stay with VirtualBox and just avoid updating Windows or 
reapply an older snapshot as needed.

This one is a bit perplexing to me.

Hi,

I have checked the sound cards that the screen readers are configured for 
and all of that is correct.  So far I've not found any errors in logs.

I use virtual machines from both VMWare and VirtualBox daily on Windows but 
wanted to add a Mac to my environment for some work I'm doing and hopefully 
still have access to Windows on that machine.

If nothing else, I'll just stick to the USB sound card option.  That does 
work well.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but have you checked that the screen 
readers are configured for the default Windows sound device? They should be, 
but under the VM, it's still worth verifying just to be sure.

Do any relevant error messages appear in the Windows event logs?

I haven't tried a VM on the Mac, so I can't offer advice from experience.

Hi,

A new wrinkle has emerged here. I am curious if anyone else is 
experiencing this.

I used an ISO from Windows 10 version 1809 to create my virtual 
machine. Sound for the VM in general is working. However, Narrator text to 
speech does not seem to work correctly.

I can play music or other audio from the VM and it plays fine. In 
addition, when Narrator is running, I hear the sounds Narrator makes just not 
the speech.

I haven't tried other TTS, such as Eloquence with JAWS yet and am also 
following up with Narrator contacts.

I am creating my first virtual machine so we'll see how that goes.

RE: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

[Simon Fogarty]

What about the volume?
Is it turned up in the vms?

Hi,

I have checked the sound cards that the screen readers are configured for and 
all of that is correct.  So far I've not found any errors in logs.

I use virtual machines from both VMWare and VirtualBox daily on Windows but 
wanted to add a Mac to my environment for some work I'm doing and hopefully 
still have access to Windows on that machine.

If nothing else, I'll just stick to the USB sound card option.  That does work 
well.

Kelly

I'm probably stating the obvious, but have you checked that the screen readers 
are configured for the default Windows sound device? They should be, but under 
the VM, it's still worth verifying just to be sure.

Do any relevant error messages appear in the Windows event logs?

I haven't tried a VM on the Mac, so I can't offer advice from experience.

Hi,

I have checked this and to be clear, computer sounds, music and such plays just 
fine without the USB sound card.

O it isn't needed 
Have you checked your vm settings or config to make sure you have an audio 
device installed to your vm for audio to be heard.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is always required but by using a USB audio device, I was 
able to get screen reader audio to work on the VMs.  This doesn't seem like I 
should have to do this but so far at least the VMs are now usable.

The plot thickens!  Audio from JAWS and NVDA also does not work, although 
music and computer sounds all play fine.

Anyone who has resolved this sort of situation, any thoughts on what to try 
are appreciated.

Hi,

A new wrinkle has emerged here. I am curious if anyone else is experiencing 
this.

I used an ISO from Windows 10 version 1809 to create my virtual machine. 
Sound for the VM in general is working. However, Narrator text to speech does 
not seem to work correctly.

I can play music or other audio from the VM and it plays fine. In addition, 
when Narrator is running, I hear the sounds Narrator makes just not the speech.

I haven't tried other TTS, such as Eloquence with JAWS yet and am also 
following up with Narrator contacts.

Thank you for this information. Also, thank you to others who replied.

This solution fixed at least getting the program launched. I had to 
going to privacy and then accessibility and indicate that I wanted to allow 
VMware to control my computer. Then when I launched VMware fusion, I had to go 
allow the extension.

I am creating my first virtual machine so we'll see how that goes.
 Again thank you to everyone who replied here.

  Good morning, I might have an idea as to what your problem might 
be. 
Are you running OS X  Mojave? Just salute you know  if you are 
running 
the current version of VMware, you have to go into system 
preferences 
and make sure that in the privacy and/or security settings that 
VMware 
is permitted to access those resources a.k.a. the extension for 
VMware 
needs to be allowed to run. If the item is not chocked your Mac 
forbids 
the program to be run because did use it as a potential security 
risk 
when it is not. Give that a shot? And I think your problem will 
hopefully go away.
