Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi,

I never used the raised-line checks.  Bank of America used to work with a 
company called Deluxe Checking which provided customers with checks which were 
the size of a piece of typing paper which a hole punched on the left side and 
it made it easy to write checks.  But they don’t work with this company any 
more.

Re: New macs without function keys

[Julie Rattray]

Thanks Tim yes I honestly love my Touch Bar now and find that I use formatting 
tools much more than I used to and can create better documents because it is 
quicker to change fonts and styles etc once you get used to how the Touch Bar 
works.

I also find that I can turn VO on and off just with the triple click without 
the cmd button

Re: Arranging my contacts, Icloud, gmail or what?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

For Google accounts, make sure that you've checked the Contacts options in 
Internet Accounts for the Google account.  Now, it doesn't always specifically 
create cards for these individuals, but they are a part of the Contacts 
directory.  The reason I say this, is that it depends on whether you're in a 
Google domain of sorts, such as G Suite for Business or G Suite for Education, 
or a regular G Mail account.  Now, if the Google contact entries don't show up 
as vCards, then you can still search for them and they will show up, or you can 
search for them, then export them and re-import them as contact vCards.  
Probably a little cumbersome in that respect, but if all you wish to use them 
for is easy entry into the Mail app, then they will be remembered, or given as 
options when adding recipients in an eMail message.  I hope this makes sense.

Later...

I feel rather foolish asking after so many years of using macs but how would 
you achieve what you said?

Re: New macs without function keys

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

That was an excellent synopsis Julie.  The only thing that I'd add is that many 
of the functions you're used to using with VO, such as VO-f8, can easily be 
accessed without using the TouchBar itself.  You can add FN to your key 
combination and just press the #8.  So, for VO-f8, press VO-FN-8 for the same 
command.  This works well for Application and Window Chooser actions.  Also, 
for turning on/off VO, you can just press the cmd key, then the 
power/finger-print button three times.

Later...

Hi,

If you use an apple phone or an iPad I don’t think you will find it difficult - 
I switched to a MacBook with the Touch Bar and got the hang of it really 
quickly.

At the write hand end you get a kind of stable set of buttons which link to the 
control panel so things like volume etc - just tap and swipe as you would on 
the IPAD and they open etc 

At the left hand end the buttons change depending n the function and 
application you are in - touch anything and it announces what it is and then 
you can double tap to active or swipe up and down to get other options etc - I 
am sorry I am sure Tim or someone would explain this better not being a trainer 
myself never sure if I use the write phrases.

To get the function keys you simply use the FN key first and then the function 
keys appear on the Touch Bar and you can tap them etc.

My honest advice though is just explore and you will quickly be using it 
effectively because you can run your finger along to find out what is their 
without activating anything it is easy to explore etc.

I find it really helpful for doing formatting etc in pages because you get the 
most useful functions on the Touch Bar so you can get to them quickly etc.

Hope this helps

New macs without function keys

['Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

The new macs, I understand, no longer have a row of function keys at the top.  
Is there an Apple resource that would teach how to use the touch bar to a 
newbee new mac user? :)

Re: Arranging my contacts, Icloud, gmail or what?

Tim,

While answering the question on syncing google contacts to iCloud, you said:
"or you can add contact syncing to the Google account, which will make your 
GMail contacts available in the Contacts app.”
I feel rather foolish asking after so many years of using macs but how would 
you achieve what you said?
