Re: this is the mac email list right? for blind users?
I checked you account and it was set to No Mail as opposed to Digest, Abridged or All Mail. I changed it back to All Mail so hopefully that gets things resolved.

Re: Fusion problems and a question
Ok, just wanted to make sure you hadn't allocated all your Mac's resources to Windows :) Sounds like this was a clean install so you should be on the latest virtual hardware version. You can check that in the VMWare Fusion preferences under compatibility. On my Fusion 6 Win7 machine it goes to 10 so I'm assuming the hardware version on yours goes to 11. How much disk space did you allocate to the virtual machine? The default setting is to grow the disk storage as needed so maybe it's still growing that.

Re: Bookmarks on desktop
The only way I could figure out how to make Web locations without using drag and drop was to create one in a text editor. I just open TextEdit, make sure I'm in plain text mode and then paste in the following text: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC -//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd; plist version=1.0 dict keyURL/key stringhttp://www.aol.com/string /dict /plist Then just change the URL on the 6th line to whatever you want and save it as something like www.aol.com.webloc. After that, if you open the file in Finder it should open Safari right to the URL you put in there. CB On 10/10/14, 4:34 PM, The Believer wrote: Thanks David.

Re: Fusion problems and a question
Right, VMWare smartly only allocates actual used disk space. That said, if you suddenly add a GB of content to your virtual windows machine VMWare is going to have to increase the disk spaced used by the virtual drive file by 1GB. That allocation process is usually one-way. If you delete your 1GB of stuff the virtual drive doesn't shrink back down (unless you run some special process). It's a lot faster to save a new file in the virtual machine using already available space than to do that with VMWare allocating more virtual disk space. So that's why I was thinking it might have been initially slower while VMWare kept having to allocate more space. After a while vmware should have enough space allocated for day to day use and that overhead won't be slowing things down. Also, I wonder if Windows doesn't do some kind of drive indexing when it's first set up (like OSX).

Re: New Mac malware discovered; how to check your Mac for ‘iWorm’ malware
Close, spaces in terminal commands imply separate commands unless you tell it that you really meant a space by putting a backslash \ in front. So the test would be: ls -a /Library/Application\ Support/JavaW The -l also isn't needed. The L means to display the listing in long format so it shows the date, number of bytes etc. Since we're just checking for presence of the folder we don't really care about formatting of the list. I read elsewhere that you can foil their install by creating a JavaW folder yourself and then locking it down: sudo mkdir '/Library/Application Support/JavaW' sudo chflags schg '/Library/Application Support/JavaW' CB On 10/4/14, 12:17 AM, Eric Oyen wrote: hello all, there is a simpler way and it works with voiceover. just open a terminal window and type at the command prompt: ls -al /Application Support/JavaW if it returns no such directory, then you are gold! :) -eric On Oct 3, 2014, at 9:06 PM, Eileen Misrahi wrote: Hello, When I first followed the instructions, I didn't see what needed to be copied.

According to their report, they believe the malware is affecting 'more than 17,000 unique IP addresses,' The Safe Mac reports. Of course, this may not correlate well with the number of infected Macs, since most Macs do not have static IP addresses, but the number of infected Macs should at least be on the same order of magnitude. It's unclear from Dr. Web's report exactly how the malware gets installed, The Safe Mac reports. The name 'iWorm' suggests some kind of virus-like behavior. According to the report, the 'dropper' (ie, the program that installs the malware) puts the executable in a folder named JavaW in the /Library/Application Support/ folder, but this does not necessarily mean that Java is involved in any way. The name could simply be chosen as camouflage. To check to see if you are infected, go to the Finder and choose Go to Folder from the Go menu, The Safe Mac reports. Copy the following path and paste it into the window that opens - /Library/Application Support/JavaW - then, click the Go button. If you just get a beep, and the window displays a message in the bottom left corner that the folder can't be found, then you should be okay. -- Sent from my laptop -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: ripping cd in itunes
If you check the archives you'll find lots of lively discussion about this. Short answer is that iTunes does not rip DVDs and commercial ones are encrypted to keep most people from even trying. In the US the mere act of breaking encryption is illegal due to the DMCA laws and they trump fair use laws. That said, there are tools which will copy DVDs to your hard drive just fine such as RipIt. Once you have those files they are quite large and you might want to re-compress them to something smaller with handbrake.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
What have you tried so far? I assume you tried turning the wifi off and back on again? Did you try and renew DHCP Lease (unter the TCP/IP tab in the advanced settings)? Can you get the IP address, subnet mask, router and DNS address from one of your working devices, turn that device off and then manually config that on your Mac's wifi to see if that works?

Re: File viewing mac on linux and vice versa.
Just wanted to point out the both SMB and NFS are built into OSX so you pretty much just have to set it up. SMB is little more than turning on a checkbox is the sharing preferences while NFS is, well, NFS which is just as easy/hard on OSX as on a linux box.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
Glad to hear the network problem is solved. Usually running fast RAM slowly is better than trying to make slow RAM go fast (overclocking). If you are getting the RAM at the store and having the Genius folks install it then you should be in good hands although you'll probably be paying a premium price. A 4GB PC3-8500 1066Mhz 1.5v memory module is about $40-$60 US from newegg. CB On 9/29/14, 7:06 PM, Christine Grassman wrote: OK, so here's the scoop regarding my Internet conductivity issue after upgrading to Mavericks, followed by a memory upgrade question. Last night, after upgrading to Mavericks I was showing my WiFi connection but could not connect to the Internet. I tried using Diagnostics and the Assistant, the latter after having deleted the service and inputting information manually. No matter what I did, however, I kept getting a self-assigned IP address. I called my ISP and they told me to call Apple. After work, I did so: 1. Because this was an update, the MacBook was using my key-chain to try to connect, but because the router often changes, the upgraded computer was using old info, and I needed to clear everything out . . . every network I ever joined, and start fresh. 2. After selecting and deleting all services and profiles, I added my WiFi network after finding it in the table of offered networks, putting in the password, and joining. It is now working fine. However, my 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook has only 2GB of memory, and can only be upgraded to 4. It is running horribly slowly, from applications loading to response time when typing. There also continue to be some mini-freezes. The Apple rep told me when I upgrade the memory I will achieve a substantial difference. I have a Genus Bar appointment scheduled for tomorrow, at which I originally believed I would be faced with the decision to replace the battery or get a new computer. Now I am thinking of getting the memory upgrade and trying that on for a while. However, and here comes the question: According to my MacBook specs, I've got 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. In the Apple store, the only and only 4 GB memory module listed says 4 GB 1866 MHz DDR3. Is this doable? If not, what can I do? Thanks to all for the suggestions and support.

Re: Library folder access
At least on Mavericks the columns work like filters starting with Collection then Family and finally Typeface. So if the Collection has something selected then that filters the Family list to just ones in the particular collection such as Engligh, Fun or Modern. So I'd check that in the Collection list you have All Fonts picked and then check what shows up in the Family list. CB On 9/26/14, 4:22 PM, The Believer wrote: Tim and Cheryl, Thanks.

Re: ftp client
There are a lot of tutorials out there you can google but basically you open terminal and then type ftp server.domain.com where you put in the actual server you want to ftp to. After that it should prompt you for the username and password. Once you're in you can use the ls command to list what files are in the remote machine's directory and get somefilename to transfer a file from the remote machine to yours. If there is a folder on the remote machine you can do cd somefoldername to open that up and then ls again to get a list of files in there. To go back up a level you do cd .. to go back to the parent. Likewise, you can do lls to get a local list of files on your drive. To transfer from your machine to theirs you type put filename. To change the local directory you use lcd. Two things that can sometimes trip people up. One is that the default local directory is usually /Users/yourfolder so before you start ftp you might want to do a cd Desktop or cd Documents since that's more likely where you want files copied from/to. Another trick is that ftp assumes text so if you're moving a sound, picture, video or other binary file you need to type binary before you do your put or get. Another handy pair is mget and mput to transfer multiple files at once. With these you can use the * as a wildcard which matches anything. So you could do mget *.mp3 which would transfer all the files ending in mp3 from the current directory to your machine. By default it asks you to hit Y for Yes on each file match. If you're sure you want all of them then type prompt before doing mget or mput to turn off prompting. When you're done just type quit. While connected you can type help to get a list of supported commands. This is how we rolled back in the dialup days.

Re: ftp client
I also run across sftp as well which is also supported as a terminal command. sftp is the secure version of ftp which works better with firewalls and such. Regular ftp requires a lot of firewall ports to be open before it will function correctly as the protocol predates the need for firewalls.

KNFB Reader iPhone App
Apparently the app is $100. CB* * *Baltimore, Maryland (September 18, 2014):* The National Federation of the Blind http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3838qid=615419, the nation's leading advocate for access to print by the blind, has applauded the release of KNFB Reader http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3839qid=615419, a new app for the iPhone and other Apple iOS devices, which uses the phone's camera and state-of-the-art optical character recognition (OCR) technology to give the blind instant access to the contents of print materials. Members of the National Federation of the Blind have worked with K-NFB Reading Technology, Inc., which developed the app along with Sensotec, Inc. KNFB Reader is now available in the iTunes app store. http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3840qid=615419 Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said: The National Federation of the Blind has been involved for forty years in the development of technology that helps blind people to acquire access to the various print materials that we all encounter from day to day. Ever since our first collaboration with Ray Kurzweil to develop the Kurzweil Reading Machine, which was the size of a household appliance, we have been interested in the development of better and more portable reading technology. Print on office documents, flyers, letters, menus, labels, and throughout our environment is still a part of everyday life, even with the increased electronic transmission of documents. Now revolutionary technology that resides on the phones that many of us carry each day http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3841qid=615419 provides instant access to the printed word. We can hear our mail or the menu at our favorite restaurant spoken with the iPhone's built-in text-to-speech technology, or read it in Braille with a refreshable Braille display. This app will fundamentally change the everyday lives of many blind people, helping us to get the information we need and live the lives we want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Storage Options and Hard Drives.
One advantage of SSD is speed, especially compared to low-power laptop spinning drives. I was once working with a guy who went from launching vmware to working in windows in about 3 seconds on a MacBook Air with SSD. Not sure if that is typical but it was impressive. I think hard drives just haven't kept up with the rest of the computer architecture such that our CPUs idle waiting for the disk to spin. SSD is a step forward in re-aligning the storage speed with the leaps all the other subsystems have taken. At least SSD costs seem to keep on dropping every year. A quick check of Newegg points to about $US .60 per GB which, at one time, would have been considered cheap for a spinning disk. While the crossover for the cost of SSB per GB matching spinning disks is still years in the future, the differential isn't what it used to be. It's also a diminishing return where, eventually, you'll have more storage than you can fill for the life of the machine. I used to go through several hard drive upgrade over the life of a machine but now days I seldom run out, but maybe that's just me. CB On 9/15/14, 12:28 AM, Barry Hadder wrote: SSDs aren't like thumb drives. They are much more reliable and don't have that problem of write limits. If you have the money for one, than that's great. But, you don't need anything like this unless your doing something like audio or video production. They are much more costly. WD My Book or My Passport will do just fine for most people.

Re: New Member Awaiting Approval
I do the admin work for the list. Generally every join request gets an email from me just asking a bit about how they found the list and such. It's a basic spam filter to make sure the person wanting to join is a real person. I wait up to 30 days and if I don't hear anything back I reject the request. You might be surprised how many requests get rejected in a month's time but the end result is we are pretty clear of spammers.

Re: warning e-mail about gmail addresses leak
Just a for instance, it wouldn't take too much to embed your gmail address in the link so that clicking on it tells them you read their spam and are willing to click on strange links. That puts you on the A list they sell to other spammers. It's also possible the site will 'help' you fix your password by asking for your current credentials, which they then sell to the highest bidder.

Re: Backup Strategies
I had always wondered how reasonable it would be to do some kind of backup co-op. For example, if I could figure out how to share a drive on the internet for somebody else and they did the same for me, I could backup my stuff to their drive and vice versa. As a co-op neither of us would pay the other anything as it would be a symbiotic solution. Of course there is a level of trust involved that they aren't going to do anything bad with your files so I guess it would have to be somebody you know. I know you can use the back to my mac to reach another Mac over the internet but can you set up shares and such that another user's time machine could use?

Re: Backup Strategies
Of course another piece to any backup strategy is off-site storage. If your stuff is valuable enough, take one of your drives every so often and leave it with a friend somewhere else. That way if something catastrophic happens like a fire or hurricane, chances are your data on drives in two physical locations won't both be destroyed.

Re: Has anyone got the U2 album?

Re: Apple - Live - September 2014 Special Event
I think you are correct. Just having a MC, Visa or Amex card alone is not sufficient. It has to be issued by one of the supported banks which they list as including Bank of America, Capital One Bank, Chase, Citi and Wells Fargo. So they imply there are others, just not mentioned. In the press release they say ...coming quickly thereafter including Barclaycard, Navy Federal Credit Union, PNC Bank, USAA and U.S. Bank so I guess that's it for now. https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2014/09/09Apple-Announces-Apple-Pay.html CB On 9/10/14, 12:55 AM, Brent Harding wrote: I wonder with the Apple Pay, if it will work with any visa or MasterCard, or only if you bank with the small list of places they have?

I'm in total agreement with you regarding the credit card signatures, but that's going to take a little time I'm thinking before Apple pay really takes hold. Many things that were shown today are going to be in some sort of experimental stage for quite some time. That's what makes these Apple events different. Rather than show you current products, it's like they Travel into the future, bring stuff back, and put it into everyone's hands. I guess I have to say that Google is like that as well, but Apple and Google seem to have very different philosophies. This being the case, some of the things they do seem a little out of place at first with present day but usually everybody comes around and embraces the new things. So, many times when you use Apple stuff your using leading edge technology that is a little ruff around the edges and many others aren't using.

Re: What a disappointment.
I just waited until later last night and played the archived version. Worked perfectly fine. That said, the press was full of notes about the live stream failures so it wasn't just a particular ISP or user. I poked at the page and the video stream actually was served from a machine named p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net which is a DNS alias to a11.w16.akamai.net. So, in reality, Apple probably just had one or two origin video servers feeding Akamai and all the users were hitting Akamai. Issues probably lived somewhere in Akamai's network unless Apple somehow botched the video feed on their origin servers. CultofMac claims it was a problem on Apple's end where they had embedded a live blog on the video page making it uncachable so the Akamai network couldn't do its thing. http://www.cultofmac.com/295132/apples-pitful-attempt-live-blogging-crashed-event-video-feed/ CB On 9/9/14, 9:38 PM, The Believer wrote: Too many people tried to connect world wide and thus created a huge bottleneck.

Re: Blue-tooth speaker recommendations
Yup, running an iPhone through a guitar amp is going to be odd sounding with all the effects and such that usually get applied to the signal, even though your amp does have a low gain input. Of course if you want to find a bluetooth speaker that sounds as good as your nice amp, I don't think you'll have much luck if your budget only allows for something that costs a quarter of your amp. Maybe something like a block rocker: http://www.amazon.com/Block-Rocker-Explorer-System-Bluetooth/dp/B00D32EAAS/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instrumentsie=UTF8qid=1410274277sr=1-5keywords=blue+tooth+speaker CB On 9/8/14, 9:31 PM, Phil Halton wrote: I don’t have a sound system. I only have a peavey nashville 112 steel guitar amp, and the sound I get playing my sound files via the iPhone plugged into the amp is unacceptable. I just want a good fidelity speaker, one with a Lf and hf component that’ll approximate the full sound of an acoustic instrument, including volume, highs and lows. I want it to sound like another banjo player is sitting next to me playing the harmony part as I play the melody part. I figured a bluetooth speaker with some oomph would do the trick for fewer dollars. I also looked at portable battery powered pa systems.

Re: thunderbolt test?
I'd start with System Information app in your Utilities folder. Launch that and then find the System Report button and action that. In the System Report there are a couple sections, one called Hardware and under Hardware is Thunderbolt. Select that, stop interacting and then VO-right twice to get to the details about the Thunderbolt Bus. In there under Port should be info about whatever devices it found. I don't have any so mine just says No device connected. If yours says the same and the device IS connected then there is some kind of hardware issue which no amount of software twiddling is going to resolve.

Re: Mediasniffers.
I don't think there currently is such a tool as media is embedded in so many ways in the browser. Only solution is to comb through the rendered HTML to dig up the URL.

You can google around but here is one review that actually talks about the changes: http://www.tuaw.com/2014/09/03/vmware-fusion-fusion-pro-7-ready-for-os-x-yosemite/ Sounds to me like there is some performance bump, ability to have more resources dedicated to the VM, ability to use the iSight camera and dual GPUs etc. For me the performance bump is the only thing that would be enticing and I wonder how noticeable it really is.

Re: Never Underestimate the Power of Ethernet
Odd, whatever works over ethernet should work over wifi, albeit more slowly. Most Macs can do Gigabit ethernet which means they can transfer up to 100MB/second. Even a perfect connection on the latest 802.11N wifi peaks at 300Megabit (.3 Gigabit). I have my laptop and an old Mac tower hardwired to a GB hub with TimeMachine backups going to a drive on the tower. The thing easily hits 40-50MB/s transfer rates and I suspect the limiting factor is the slow low-power drive in the laptop. For a decade or so Macs had built-in automatic crossover on the ethernet port. If you're not familiar, imagine you had two phones dialed up to two people. If you wanted those two people to talk to each other you could just push the handsets together but they would be ear to ear and mic to mic. That wouldn't work. You would need to flip one over so the ear is to the mic on the opposite phone. That's what a crossover cable in the Ethernet world does and, since you're on a Mac, it just does that for you. So you can always just plug two machines Ethernet connections together to set up an ad-hoc private fast network for flinging files and the like. The Mac also is smart enough to self-assign an address when it can't get one from a router, which is the case when you're direct connecting two machines. So you basically plug the machines together with some Cat5 cable, turn on file sharing and go. CB On 8/30/14, 7:09 AM, Christopher Hallsworth wrote: Cool! I wonder if ethernet would work for the scenario where one needs to share files between mac and PC using a PC laptop or desktop and not say via Bootcamp or Fusion on the Mac.

So, as I began the copy process, I was told that it would take about 6 hours. Then, I remembered that along with my new Mac, I purchased a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor. Using a wired connection, the same amount of data was transferred in less than 35 minutes.

For a little bit. It watches the change over a two minute span and from there it does a rolling estimate of how much longer your battery will last. Of course if you're burning CDs that estimate is going to be a lot lower than just reading mail. One nice thing in Mavericks is the battery menu also tells you which apps, if any, are being a drain on the battery so you can make informed choices as to what you leave running when you're not plugged in.

Re: recording Skype calls
First you want to go into iTunes and set your preferences for importing. Command-comma to bring up preferences and then go to General. Towards the end of the list of settings will be a section called When a CD is Inserted which is followed by a popup button and then a button called Import Settings. Action that which will popup another dialog with a popup button to choose the encoder. Set this to MP3 Encoder if it isn't already. You can then VO-down to choose your settings such as Higher Quality 192 kbps) and such. You can also choose custom and play around in there. Anyway, once your encoding settings are chosen action the OK to get back to preferences and then OK on that to get back to itunes. Now you can import your source file with command-O. Once it's in iTunes, select that track and choose File Create New Version Create MP3 Version. This will convert what you have selected to mp3 using the settings you made in Preferences.

The mov file plays fine in quick look (press space on the file to open). Definitely money well spent for me. I know people will say they use audio highjack pro, but I can't get my head around that programme I'm afraid. This literally records all the voices without you having to turn anything on at the start of the call. I find using headphones ensures my voice is recorded better than if I use the speaker on the mac. Good luck.

Re: Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick
VMWare has an article about how to manually uninstall.

I'll be honest, my fear of uninstalling incompletely or incorrectly comes from my many years of working with Windows which, as many of you may know, can turn ugly with just the click of a mouse. In years gone by, if one didn't uninstall something correctly, it could cause major startup problems. While I'm certain this is not the case in OSX, some fears are difficult to dispel.

Re: Service battery?
My wife's ancient 7 year old MacBook gives this as it hardly lasts an
hour on battery. I'm hoping the tape continues to hold it together until
we can afford to replace it with a new one. That said, from terminal you
can find out the stats on your battery by copying and pasting the
following line:
ioreg -l | grep -i Capacity
You should get back something like this:
| | MaxCapacity = 6716
| | CurrentCapacity = 6648
| | LegacyBatteryInfo =
{Amperage=415,Flags=7,Capacity=6716,Current=6648,Voltage=12575,Cycle
Count=197}
| | DesignCapacity = 6900
which if you skip through all the Vertical Line junk you'll find the
Max Capacity (in mA), Current Capacity and Design Capacity. The above is
from my fairly new MacBook Pro.

The battery has been charging fine, and has not run down more

One thing I did notice today is that the magnetic end of the

Re: iTunes and option key - solution
This is exactly right. If you hold down option, then tap I and then immediately let go of the option key you should be fine. There is about a second before iTunes is up and running enough to check if you have the option key held down and then run you through the library picker. If you do get that dialog you held the option key too long. You can just hit escape which will cancel the iTunes launch and try it again. Or, as Tim pointed out, just use control for the shortcut.

Re: iOS safari crashes upon opening PDFs
If you haven't installed the Adobe reader stuff PDF files should just open up in Safari as well.

If Eloquence can be ported, why on earth can't eSpeak, being open source and a native linux program, be ported? Is Eloquence just that good, and mac users so into windows that Eloquence, a native windows app, just has to b ported, in a rather weird form with only one voice and a few weird bugs, rather than eSpeak, with its many languages, amazing pronounciation and configurability? And I don't want just a type text and push that there play button and hear it talk little toy app. I want it to be selectable in the VO speech pane of the utility, as a system voice, and usable in the say fuction of the terminal. Is that really, really too much to ask for of an open source program?

Re: Accessible FLV video converter?
FLV or Flash Video is a container which can hold any number of video formats. The older ones used the Sorenson or On2 codecs while the newer ones now support h.264 (MPEG4). So FLV in of itself may or may not have the old junky video formats. One quick way to tell is to just rename the .flv to .mp4 and try to open it with Quicktime Player. Most content sites have moved to MPEG as the other codecs are not generally supported on mobile devices. So if you have an FLV, there is a good chance its something pretty old and probably in one of the old codecs. All that said, Handbrake should be able to convert old FLVs to MPEG so you can use them on modern platforms. https://handbrake.fr CB On 8/21/14, 10:04 AM, Phil Halton wrote: I understand that FLV is the preferred format for many online video sites such as YouTube, and that most of these sites convert uploaded videos into FLV format.

Re: with some explnations please, how can i share my hard disks with mavericks?
If your windows box is already set up for sharing then you should be able to connect to it from your Mac using Connect to Server (command-K) from the finder. You type in the URL like this: SMB://servername_or_IP_address/share Obviously you need to change what I have above to the actual IP address of your windows box or the DNS name. The share is whatever the Windows share name is. It should then prompt you for the Windows username/password and the drive will show up on your mac. You can also try the Browse button instead of typing in the URL but I never seem to get that to work.

Re: Accessible FLV video converter?
Sorry, I had read it backwards. I wasn't aware that FLV was still supported much out in the wild as most places have gone to MPEG, so I thought you were trying to convert FLV to MPEG before uploading it.

Re: Opening multiple programs at once
Hmm. Couldn't you put an alias to all the apps you need in a folder and leave that on your desktop? Say you call the folder Go. Then all you have to do is go to the desktop in finder (command-shift-D) then type Go to select the folder, then press command-O to open it, command-A to select all and then command-O again to open all the apps.

Re: opus audio encoding on osx?
As was said before, VLC has supported Opus since about 2012: http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/tag/Opus The IETF version is used in WebRTC and I have to wonder why we still have apps to download and install when it can all be done in a WebRTC compliant browser now. Maybe it's easier to monetize an app than a page. If everybody did go with Opus it would also mean that, at least for audio, interoperability would be quite possible. Of course once you get interoperable voice over IP, all kinds of FCC regulations kick in under the CVAA so there is some incentive for all the players to remain as separate islands.

Re: Screencasting on the Mac?
After you start recording it says Click to record the full screen. Drag to record part of the screeen. End recording by clicking the stop button in the menu bar. Yes, it records the whole screen so the video file can be pretty big depending on what resolution you are running at and how you compress it afterwards. It won't start recording until you physically click. No VO mouse clicks seem to make this go. You don't have to click anywhere in particular. The click won't action anything and you'll be left in the QTPlayer app so you'll have to command-tab to whatever actual app you wanted to interact with for the recording. A slight variant to what Tim said is you can wait until you've done whatever you want recorded then command-tab back to QuickTime Player and hit escape. That will pop the controller window up and move VO to the stop button. Then you just VO-space to stop the recording. CB On 8/1/14, 1:57 AM, Tim Kilburn wrote: Hi, Sorry, I'm not sure.

VO-space on the Start button. The stupid window comes up that doesn't seem to have anything VO useful 4. Press VO-cmd-f5 to bring mouse focus to the VO focus. 5. Physically click your mouse or trackpad. This will start the recording. I don't think you actually need to do step #4 but I just make sure that the mouse won't click out of the window by bringing it to the current VO focused spot. 6. Press Escape or cmd-period. There will be a window with the Stop button and a little clock timer thing counting up how long it's been recording as well as the current size of the file. 7. cmd-tab out of QuickTime and do whatever you wished recorded and then cmd-tab back into QuickTime when done. 8. VO-space on the Stop button. The regular QuickTime window will appear now with the Play/Pause button. Press VO-space on it to start or stop. This is totally visual so there's nothing much to do from a VO prospective except possibly look at the elapse time. 9. Save your file and send it off. 10. Tell the Apple engineers to fix that window so that it is more VO friendly. HTH. Later...

However, I cannot get Quicktime to start or stop on command, and the stop recording item in the Extras menus doesn't work well either. Even the start button in Quicktime doesn't seem to always work, yet once you hit it you have no controls until you can activate the control in the Extras menu. Basically, I can't get Quicktime to reliably start or stop recording, so I've done the demo three times now and not once have I managed to actually record it. Yet two test recordings have gone, not fine, but I at least got a result. Is there something in Quicktime that will make this easier, or do people have alternative screen casting apps they prefer? Again, this has to record the Mac's screen as well as audio, not just the audio, and output a commonly supported movie format.

Re: Why are pages documents so large in file size
Show package contents does reveal one clue. If I sort by size the top item is a 200KB preview.jpg which I assume is for the document icon. There is also preview-web.jpg which is 13K and preview-micro.jpg which is 2K. The rest of my 295K test document was made up of index.zip which had about 60 little .iwa files (whatever those are) and a folder called Metadata with less than 1K of stuff such as a plist file and a file called Documentidentifier. So it sounds like the initial hit is taken from the big jpg files. Exporting this to a PDF made it about 120K. CB On 8/1/14, 11:40 AM, Tim Kilburn wrote: Hi, Sort of like an app on the Mac.

So, if you go to the Pages document, press VO-shift-m on it and choose Show Package Contents, you can see what is included in the document. I'm not a developer or anything but I'm guessing that packaging things this way better allows for accessing the documents across Mac and iOS platforms and will make things easier in Yosemite and iOS 8 for opening file formats without extra conversions.

Anyway, was just curious why this is so and is there any possible ways of getting file sizes with the pages format smaller? Its not a big deal but it seems pretty extreme for just a document format if you know what I mean. The most I have ever seen with a word document at least, with in my experience ranges from: 20KB to 30KB possibly 40KB. But certainly not within the realms of the 3 digit numbers! lol Thanks all for any feedback with this and remember, its not a big deal but more out of curiosity.

Re: Speaking TV guides -Offcom consultation
I didn't follow the TV part of the advanced communications in the CVAA as I don't really care much about that but you might want to check into it. Supposedly all it takes is filing a complaint with the FCC to get thing rolling although I think you're supposed to contact the provider first and document the results (or lack thereof). What is more interesting to me is that this is supposed to be driving accessibility in email and chat apps.

I can record/browse a listing of shows with the directTv app, for example, but if I want to access the remote feature for example, it acts like it can't find my receiver, so I've pretty much given up trying to use it sense there are other people in the house who watch TV, and can record stuff as well.
