Portable mini keyboard for a visually impaired person.

2018-12-02 Thread 'Kawal Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries 
Hello.

I am wishing to know peoples opinion on which is the best small portable 
keyboard is for a visually impaired person. I know lots of people will have 
different opinions, but I don’t have a small Bluetooth portable keyboard. I 
have to dictate my messages or use my braille display which is a little bit too 
big for me to carry about. One of these days I will get a small braille 
display, but in the meantime, it would be good to have a very small Bluetooth 
keyboard to put in my bag.
I am also wanting to get a Mac at some point next year, maybe around March or 
April. It will be good to have a computer again. It has been a couple of years 
since I’ve not had one and that is quite a long time.
Thank you very much.

Kawal..

Bluetooth keyboard and mail on the iPhone

2018-12-02 Thread Mary Otten 
Because of the really bad luck I have been having with siri dictation, I’m 
trying a bt keyboard again, and I’m looking for commands to do things like 
accessing the list of suggestions that pops up when you start typing an 
address, and also the keyboard command to open a new message window. I know I 
can do this stuff from the touch screen. But if you are typing it seems more 
efficient to just stick with the keyboard if possible.

Re: cycling through windows on my Mac mini

2018-12-02 Thread Jonathan Cohn 
One nice feature of the VoiceOver choosers is that one can type a portion of 
the name you are looking for and the chooser will eliminate items that don't 
match. This feature is more flexible than the first letter nav available on 
other systems in that it will match  a string anywhere in the name.
On the other hand, unless you overrode the settings in Keyboard preferences or 
disabled it, the command ~ should switch windows in an application.

RE: Recent Skype 8 on Mac OS with VoiceOver

2018-12-02 Thread M. Taylor 
Hello Jason,

I just updated to the latest version of Skype on Mac OS Mojave and cannot 
reproduce your finding.  

In fact, everything seems extremely accessible via VoiceOver.  

I am equally impressed with Skype for iOS.  It would appear that Microsoft has 
finally gotten it right, at least, for now.  

By the way, I do not use Skype for business.  In fact, I'd never heard of Skype 
for business until I read your post.

Subject: Recent Skype 8 on Mac OS with VoiceOver

When I run the current release of Skype 8 on Mac OS Mojave with VoiceOver and 
move focus to the Skype window, VoiceOver reports that “Skype has no windows”, 
and I am unable to access the application at all. Are others experiencing the 
same?

In my case, this doesn’t matter – Skype for Business (part of Office 365) is 
quite accessible on the Mac, and that’s the application which I sometimes need 
for work purposes. If I really required the consumer version of Skype, I could 
probably just visit web.skype.com anyway.

Re: Question regarding re-installing the Mac.

2018-12-02 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries 
Hi,

What's happening is normal not just Mojave, but to any MacOS.  Reinstalling 
from cmd-r is just reinstalling to the Macintosh HD partition and leaves other 
partitions alone.  Instead, your friend should start up using cmd-option-r, 
which starts from the Internet Recovery servers of Apple.  Next, select the 
Disk Utility option from the given choices and press Continue.  When in Disk 
Utility, press cmd-2 to have Disk Utility show all info.  Now, interact with 
the "Select a Disk table" and select the actual disk name.  This should same 
something like 121 GB Apple SSD or 256 Apple SSD, some sort of size reference 
with a disk manufacturer in the title.  Do not select the Macintosh HD volume 
or the BootCamp volume, these are simply partitions on the actual disk.  After 
selecting the disk,  stop interacting with the table, navigate left to the 
ToolBar, interact with it and locate the Erase tab, press it.  In the resulting 
dialog, title the drive "Macintosh HD", format it as MacOS Extended (Journaled) 
with the GUID Partition Scheme, then hit the "Erase" button.  After it has 
finished the job, press "Done" and quit the Disk Utility app with cmd-q.
  This should take you back to the MacOS Utility dialog where you can select 
Reinstall MacOS and Continue.

The Disk Utility action should have wiped out any old partitions and set it up 
as a brand new wiped clean Mac.  The reinstall action will convert the disk to 
APFS and install the latest version of MacOS ready to be set up as either a new 
machine or restored from Time Machine backup.  Restoring from a a Time Machine 
backup here would not restore the BootCamp partition as the Time Machine has 
only the Macintosh HD data in its radar.

HTH.

Later...

Morning everyone!

This query isn't for me, but for my friend located in Australia.

Twice now he has tried to use Bootcamp on his Mac.
Twice now he's got into a situation where Bootcamp won't even load.
He has the same Mac book as me, early 2015.

Please does anyone know of a way where the Mac can be completely re-installed 
with everything wiped?

See from Mojave, it appears that Apple have changed the install procedure, so 
it wont reset everything.

He has tried Command plus R and used the re-install option.
This won't do anything and his Mac is exactly the same as before, with a 
Windows operating system that's unbootable.
He has heard somewhere about another key combination, command plus R plus P 
then powering the Mac up.
Is this worth a shot?

Please any help would be appreciated, as both me and my friend are at a loss as 
what to do next.
And to top it all off, it says in Disk utility bootcamp locked.

And he can't even use that app to remove it.
Whenever he launches it, and clicks continue, it's coming up with the following 
message.
I can't remember the exact wording, but it's something like this.
The disk cannot be restored to a single partition.
The startup disk needs to be formatted as Mac Os Extended Journaled.
Like I say that's not the exact wording, but it's something to that affect.

Please any help would be welcomed.

Thanks very much, I look forward to hopefully some responses.
