Yesterday my wife and I spent the evening in an Apple Store trying to fix this 
annoying bug. The Genius  was so helpful and well educated that after one hour 
without results, after several procedures he was really sorry to be unable to 
fix it. He suggested to escalate the issue to the accessibility department, 
from where I was referred… After testing the issue with Bluetooth ear phones, 
that did not trigger the problem, he reinforced their conviction that was 
something to do with the lightning plug. He was really embarrassed  once that 
didn’t make sense, because the bug was just triggered by voiceover and appeared 
after a bloody update.
 
This morning I manage to put the phone in DFU mode, after a full restore I used 
a backup from my iPhone 7. The bug was gone!! I then decided to put it back 
with my full backup from the iPhone 8 and the bug returned! So know it is fine 
after a DFU again and using the backup from iPhone 7. I am planning to try to 
contact the extremely  friendly Genius to let him know the solution.

Hello list.

I have been using downcast for years to listen to content with no problems at 
all.
Two days ago, I got an iPhone 11 pro max and restored everything from my old 
phone. 
Everything is fine except downcast.
When I open the application, voice over is restarting constantly and it is 
difficult to navigate around.
Anyone else has this problem?

taking the unprecedented step of sending this out to everyone on NFBNET in 
order to assure that the largest number of blind persons possible apply to

iPhones and other i-devices and have become experts in using them.Â  I would 
venture to say that this is one career in which blind people can perform better

apply.Â  After you apply, please email (Ms.) Shay Shimizu, Apple Talent

Petrus,
To play a dvd, you need to select a title from the go->title menu.
DVD menus are not accessible.
Also, note that VLC can not play copy protected media on its own.  You would 
have to download and install a couple of libraries first.

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.

Hi,

Probably not.  You'd just need a work visa and such as well as being able to 
move to the US to do the job.

Re: Playing DVD's on the Mac

2019-11-06 Thread Petrus Tuerlings

Sorry, this is going to be my last email on this subject, but I have only one 
thing to say about the DVD  player on the Mac Hopeless! I’d have better luck 
trying to play a DVD with my toaster. Sorry, that was more than one thing.

 Petrus,
 To play a dvd, you need to select a title from the go->title menu.
 DVD menus are not accessible.
 Also, note that VLC can not play copy protected media on its own.  You 
 would have to download and install a couple of libraries first.

 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

2019-11-06 Thread Petrus Tuerlings

Never mind, it’s all sounding to hard now. So is that go title menu or whatever 
you said in the DVD player? I still have to work out how to do a spotlight 
search.

Hello,
I was wrong in the message. It says the OS cannot scan it for malicious

Re: Playing DVD's on the Mac

2019-11-06 Thread Barry Hadder

Petrus,
To play a dvd, you need to select a title from the go->title menu.
DVD menus are not accessible.
Also, note that VLC can not play copy protected media on its own.  You would 
have to download and install a couple of libraries first.

 plug my external DVD player in and put the DVD  in it but can never seem

 I do have an old DVD  player connected to my TV but I don’t get any kind

Re: Playing DVD's on the Mac

2019-11-06 Thread Petrus Tuerlings

Another silly question, as I’ve never had to do a spotlight search on the Mac 
before. How does one do this? I’m hoping that if I open the DVD player before I 
put the disc in it might work better for me. As the DVD player usually opens 
automatically when you insert a disc.

 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

Re: Viewing PDF files on Mac OS Catalina

Hi,

That would be an issue with your virus scanner, not the MacOS.  You'll need to 
check in your settings for the virus scanner to remedy this.

Re: Playing DVD's on the Mac

2019-11-06 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries

Hi,

Hmmm.  Sounds like it's more of a direction thing.  All newer Macs do not have 
the optical drive, so placing the DVD Player into the Core Services location 
seemed logical.  The functionality is still required, but just needs to be an 
auto-magic thing, not something that people need to have in their Applications 
folder.

 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.

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.

Hi,

Looks like they've made it more of a system app than before.  Probably due to 
the fact that there's no longer built-in optical drives.  Sorry for the 
misleading info.

Re: Coming Back to Android

2019-11-06 Thread Erik Burggraaf


Greetings,

On November 5, 2019 10:03:41 p.m. Holly  wrote:

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


I used my moto G phone in place of a computer for nearly a year.  Obviously 
I did email, some high leverage web browsing such as filing my taxes online 
and filling out job applications, and advanced word and data processing.


I also did web programming in html, css, java script, and php with code 
editors, file transfers with ftp, maths, and so on.  I had at various 
times, accessible third party project management tools, accounting 
packages, and receipt trackers for small business.  And of course, a lot of 
cloud services like google drive, one  and dropbox.


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

Inclusiveandroid.com doesn't get updated as often as we'd like, but just 
launched a new podcast.  You can help by reviewing your device and any apps 
you find.  The app directory with accessibility ratings is our best feature.



3. What areas of Android are really inaccessible?

None.  There are numerous minor enhancements I would like to see, such as 
ability to add web elements to the granularities menue, but the system 
itself works well in all respects.  That's not to say you won't experience 
a learning curve.

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

I don't experience any stability or performance issues in talkback.  
Importing and exporting graphics label files was broken at one point.  I'm 
not sure if it still is, but that would be the biggest non working thing I 
can think of.  Brailleback is a bit of a different story.

5. What are some accessible games for Android?

Check inclusive android's game section.
Thanks so much in advance.

On a parting note, I noticed a few of your questions tended to a rather 
dark bbent.  I'd just like to emphasize some real plus points in talkback.



Gestures are initially very simple and highly configureable.
The selection of speech synthesizers available is outstanding as the speech 
API is available system wide.  I'm currently using acapella tracy for example.



Talkback does a good job handling maths and describing format elements on 
request.

How secure is iCloud drive?

Hello,
I am looking for a safe place to store a highly sensitive short txt file away

iCloud drive encrypted? Are iCloud drive files encrypted end to end while on 
their journey through the network  between my iMac and the iCloud drive server?
Many thanks.

Re: Screen waking up with earphones connected

2019-11-06 Thread João de Sousa e Silva

Yesterday my wife and I spent the evening in an Apple Store trying to 
fix this annoying bug. The Geniuswas so helpful and well educated that 
after one hour without results, after several procedures he was really 
sorry to be unable to fix it. He suggested to escalate the issue to the 
accessibility department, from where I was referred… After testing the 
issue with Bluetooth ear phones, that did not trigger the problem, he 
reinforced their conviction that was something to do with the lightning 
plug. He was really embarrassed once that didn’t make sense, because the 
bug was just triggered by voiceover and appeared after a bloody update.


This morning I manage to put the phone in DFU mode, after a full restore 
I used a backup from my iPhone 7. The bug was gone!! I then decided to 
put it back with my full backup from the iPhone 8 and the bug returned! 
So know it is fine after a DFU again and using the backup from iPhone 7. 
I am planning to try to contact the extremely friendly Genius to let him 
know the solution.

impossible to use the iPhone 8 to listen something once Voiceover is always

Anyone else?

You can try in the Watch App, on iOS: general; language and region; 
custom. Set it there and then you may have to wait for some download 
that just happens while the watch is charging . Good luck.

taking the unprecedented step of sending this out to everyone on NFBNET in 
order to assure that the largest number of blind persons possible apply to 
these jobs.Â  One of my selling points to Apple was that most blind people have 
iPhones and other i-devices and have become experts in using them.Â  I would 
venture to say that this is one career in which blind people can perform better 
than sighted ones.Â  If you agree and have the skills Apple needs, please 
apply.Â  After you apply, please email (Ms.) Shay Shimizu, Apple Talent 
Sourcer, so she can make sure you are in the system and stay in touch with you 
(and me).  Apple really wants to hire blind people.

 Hello,
 even easier might be to ask Siri: Hey Siri, what OS version?
 Don’t know the correct wording in english. Just translated the command

 All the best
