Has anyone else noticed such a thing?

Re: Notifications

2019-11-05 Thread Gabe Griffith

Hi,

Glad to know I'm not the only one who is struggling with this change. I agree 
with you tim that there are probably benefits both ways but I too sort of miss 
being able to just clear it and have a notification and just have it go away. 
It would be nice if there were both a clear button to get rid of notifications 
you don't want showing up again and the dismiss button for notifications you 
want to have go away but may want to access again at some point.

 Hi All,
 
 Anyone else having VO announce notifications when Do Not Disturb is

Hi,

HomePod told me „You are using iOS 13.2.1“. I‘m not able to test this myself in

 Hi all,
 
 I am hearing "Safari busy" way too often on my Mac.  I just visited
 allmusic.com  and tried to look up an artist and 
 read the bio and some
 album reviews.  When I first accessed the site, VO would say "Safari
 busy" but would work eventually.  Then when I got to the artist's
 actual page, it just got stuck on busy.  This is happening far too
 often and I am winding up using Windows in Fusion, which has its own
 issues.  It drains the battery more quickly and just isn't as
 responsive.  With all of the other issues in Catalina and IOS 13, I am
 considering just buying a PC.  Apple's quality control is just not
 there anymore.  Are other people experiencing "Safari busy"
 frequently?  Have you found a solution?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Eric

Coming Back to Android

2019-11-05 Thread Holly



Hello,


I purchased an Android tablet, TabA8, the other day. This is after about 
five years of not using Android. So I’ve got a few questions, as I’ve got 
about 27 days to decide if this is right for me before the return window 
closes.


1. What do you do productivity wise with your Android device?


2. What are some good resources, such as podcasts, that I could use to 
learn more about apps and TalkBack itself?


3. What areas of Android are really inaccessible?


4. What, in your opinion, are the most serious bugs in TalkBack?


5. What are some accessible games for Android?


Thanks so much in advance.


Holly

Re: Playing DVD's on the Mac

2019-11-05 Thread 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries

Your Mac has an app already. Its called DVD Player. The below
article will explain how to find and use it.

Hi all,
One thing I haven’t managed to work out is how to play DVD’s on my
Mac. I plug my external DVD player in and put the DVD in it but can
never seem to find the controls to press play. Well sometimes they
appear but I can’t seem to activate them. Does the brand of DVD player
matter? I think my one is called Transned or something like that, I
was trying to use Seeing AI to read the brand name. Suppose I should
have gotten the Apple DVD player? I do have an old DVD player
connected to my TV but I don’t get any kind of voice feedback in the
menus for turning on the audio description so thought I could try the
Mac.

RE: Playing DVD's on the Mac

Hi Petrus,

No not from the app store for your computer
I used google chrome to search for it and then got the official VLC download 
site for my Mac computer.

If it’s on your phone then yes you can download it fhrough the app store.
I use it on both actually my windows machine
I use it on my phone and mac for the other reason that it allows me to connect 
to network shares to play media fromm them when I’m away from home

How to change the boys on my brand-new Apple watch?

2019-11-05 Thread maurice.mines

Hello, hi for very interesting set of reasons had to upgrade my Apple 
Watch this past weekend. Now I’m trying to figure out how to separate 
its voice from my phone. I’ve gotten several different answers in 
general from Apple disability tech support. So is there a 
straightforward way to do this? It is a brand-new series 5  watch, 
running of course the latest version of watch OS.  Thank you in advance 
for any suggestions and/or guidance someone on the list has to offer.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

VLC in to the app store should be fine,

The last tweets received were from the 24th Oct

Has anyone else noticed such a thing?

activity monitor on Watch Os

Morning Mac world,

I've noticed over a few weeks the activity monitor on my apple watch s4 with 
the latest WatchOS version installed,
Doesn't register the time I walk for when exercising
In todays case a 59 minute outdoor walk,

It registered heart rate and movement and elevation measurements etc,
But it onlypicks up on in this case less than half the time walking.

Has anyone else noticed this what I call an issue?

Cheers

 It's just a PDF reader and nothings worth getting that upset by it.

Hi all,
For some reason the names of the people I send iMessages too in the messages 
app on the Mac don’t show any more. I Messaged my wife yesterday and it only 
shows her phone number and not her name. I upgraded to Catalina on Friday last 
week but I’m pretty sure the messages app was still behaving normally on 
Monday. This only started after I signed out of my Apple ID and then signed 
back in again.

Playing DVD's on the Mac

Hi all,
One thing I haven’t managed to work out is how to play DVD’s on my Mac. I plug 
my external DVD player in and put the DVD  in it but can never seem to find the 
controls to press play. Well sometimes they appear but I can’t seem to activate 
them. Does the brand of DVD player matter? I think my one is called Transned or 
something like that, I was trying to use Seeing AI to read the brand name. 
Suppose I should have gotten the Apple DVD player? I do have an old DVD  player 
connected to my TV but I don’t get any kind of voice feedback in the menus for 
turning on the audio description so thought I could try the Mac.

Audacity for Mac

2019-11-05 Thread Lorie McCloud

do you guys think Audacity for Mac is accessible enough to make it worth the 
trouble of installing and learning? mostly what I want to do with it is cut 
files. my other question is about over-riding my security setting so I can 
install it. the help menu says to control click it but that doesn't do anything 
when I do it.

thanks.

 Hi all,
 
 I am hearing "Safari busy" way too often on my Mac.  I just visited
 allmusic.com  and tried to look up an artist and 
 read the bio and some
 album reviews.  When I first accessed the site, VO would say "Safari
 busy" but would work eventually.  Then when I got to the artist's
 actual page, it just got stuck on busy.  This is happening far too
 often and I am winding up using Windows in Fusion, which has its own
 issues.  It drains the battery more quickly and just isn't as
 responsive.  With all of the other issues in Catalina and IOS 13, I am
 considering just buying a PC.  Apple's quality control is just not
 there anymore.  Are other people experiencing "Safari busy"
 frequently?  Have you found a solution?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Eric

Re: Safari and Allmusic.com

2019-11-05 Thread 'Kristeen Hughes' via MacVisionaries



The start page is not a problem for me, but after typing in a search cryteria, 
I can never access the results. It just keeps saying it's busy and that's it.

Taking a very short look on the allmusic.com  i don’t 
seem to have busy problems in safari.
This doesn’t mean they exist for others.
However to help you out i need to know if there’s a special section of the page 
you’re having problems with?
Its very klunky built in my opinion so i am not amazed that some might have 
problems with it.
But the start page seems to work fine for me.

Re: Messages app on the Mac

Hi,

Hmmm, that's interesting.  I wonder if that's the case in locales other than 
North America where there are so many different country codes.  I haven't seen 
this in my contacts here in Canada, although 99% of mine have Canada numbers.

Hi,

No, Siri doesn't care to release that sort of classified information.  She 
won't update the software either.

   Not sure if this was answered, Donna, but when you are in the Home app and 
on your HomePod, flick down to, show controls, and double tap. You will need to 
then work your way far down the screen and you will see the version number of

Re: Messages app on the Mac

Hi Petrus,

Check that Contacts is ticked under your Apple ID in System Prefs.  The 
Messages app refers to the Contacts to give those items names instead of 
numbers.  So, go to System Preferences, press the Apple ID button on the 
initial pane of System Prefs, select iCloud from the first table, then interact 
with the Services table.  In the Services table, make sure that Contacts is 
checked to sync your contacts with your Mac.  You may also wish to confirm 
other services that you want syncing with iCloud.

Later...

Re: Viewing PDF files on Mac OS Catalina

For free, likely not. Prizmo, Fine Reader, and Docuscan in order of lower to 
higher price. Might be some online versions you can use for free, but have not 
investigated.

Viewing PDF files on Mac OS Catalina

2019-11-05 Thread Paul Hopewell

Hello, 
Can anyone recommend a hopefully free PDF viewer App for Mac OS Catalina which 
works well with VoiceOver? The Apps I have tried do a poor job with tables such 
as bank account details  and often miss out the last column. I have to export 
difficult documents to my iPhone and use Voice Dream Reader to read them. I 
then export the text which Voice Dream Reader produces back to Mac OS. The 
results are good but the process is awful! Is there a Mac OS App which does as 
good a job as Voice Dream Reader?
Many thanks for any tips.
Paul Hopewell
