pages spell check behaving strangely
Hi all, When spell checking a document, I tell spell check to ignore certain words, for example when I write: hahaha but as I'm spell checking, it brings that back to be corrected and some other words, even after I've told it to ignore them. sometimes I'll press the ignore, or learn buttons and nothing will happen. Or I'll correct something and it'll try to keep suggesting that correction in other places and I can't seem to move on to continue checking the rest of the document. As you can imagine this is extremely annoying so if anyone knows of this issue or can help me fix it any help is greatly appreciated. Is it some kind of bug in pages?

accessing documents in pages on other apple devices
Hi all, If I was to download and install pages on my IPhone and access a document that's originally on my mac, How would I do this? I know you can put a document in the cloud and have it apppear in pages on the phone and mac, and I assume any changes made would instantly appear in both copies of the document, say if I made changes to a document on my phone, they would apppear on my mac?

Re: words still being corrected
Hi Alex, Thanks for letting me know about spell check, I had a look in the edit menu of pages and saw an option under spelling and grammar that said check spelling while typing, and another that said, correct spelling while typing. I unchecked both of those so will see what happens when I do more writing tonight. :) Thanks again for your much appreciated responses. :) Hope you have a great day, Andrew On 18 Apr 2014, at 8:21 am, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: Some apps have auto-correct settings in their own preferences, independent of the system-wide setting. Check for that in the apps you find this happens. Also remember that spellcheck and auto-correct are two different items in most cases.

Re: mac learning curve
Learning the mac sure is a big learning curve. Simple tasks you knew how to do under windows suddenly become tricky until you know the correct keystrokes. Ultimately however, once you've mastered the basics of what you want to know, you'll pick up on things much faster and everything will make more sense and it'll be worth making the switch. I am still a somewhat new user myself having only got my mac last year, but I'm so glad I did. more things just work straight out of the box and some things such as downloading books from audible work straight out of the box, without having to download extra software to accomplish this, and lots of things work out of the box because accessibility itself is straight out of the box. Good luck Hang in there, and enjoy your mac. :) Andrew On 3 Apr 2014, at 4:50 am, Kerri shalo...@shaw.ca wrote: hillo, Jean: I think the learning curve is steep for most people and in this I was fortunate as I am (unfortunately) unemployed and so could take the time to learn the Mac. For me the most difficult aspect was knowing how to access help because this list though helpful, was unable to assist until I learned how to compose an email. I say this because if I'd known that would have been the first question I'd have asked. Composing a new email is done with command plus n once you open the emial client. *** Thousands of years ago, cats were worshiped as gods. They have never forgotten this. On Apr 2, 2014, at 9:38 AM, Jean Parker radiofore...@gmail.com wrote: Hello to the person who is thinking of making the switch to mac: I did this about a year ago and here are my thoughts. First of all, the reason I switched was similar to that of other people, my PC became inoperable one to many times and it was at a time when I was to have begun an online teaching assignment. I came very close to losing my job because getting the PC laptop repaired/replaced and then everything restored took so long. It was a total disaster! The learning curve was steep for me and it took about two months to return to any semblance of efficiency. I am sure it is shorter for many people and longer for others. So, during the transition, it would be helpful to allow for the time and energy it will take to learn the new system and screen reader. There are fantastic resources on this list for getting help. These include several people who are authorised by Apple to teach the Mac using Voiceover. Keep in mind however, that Apple does not pay for this training and although it is reasonably priced, this is one area where Apple could do better. I live close to an Apple store and although I had the One to One training the first year I had my Mac, I did not renew it. I found that the trainers were very knowledgeable about the Mac but not about Voiceover. I receive far superior information from this list without leaving home. If you live near an Apple store you also have access to something called a Genious Bar. If you are having some difficulty with your computer, after an upgrade for example, you can take it to them and get it sorted out for free. Apple has phone support which others on this list have much more experience with than I do. In general, working with and maintaining the Mac is a much more streamlined process than a PC. For example, my disk drive bit the dust the last time I was working in India. Because I have Apple Care, it was replaced with no charge but I found that the restoration process was a thousand times easier and less time-consuming than it ever was on the PC. Apple has Time Machine which makes a backup of your disk including data which you use to restore the system. If you haven't backed up in a while, it even reminds you to do it. So, if you do switch to the Mac, be sure and allow yourself time to integrate the new knowledge systematically. I for one, would never even consider returning to using a PC. But if for some reason I had to, I would either use bootcamp or VM Fusion instead of going back to a computer environment which is so unstable and unpredictable. To me, using a PC became unviable in my work environment so it had to go. The only thing I find more difficult with Mac is using Skype. On the PC you can use GW Connect which manages voice and text chatting tasks very well. When I called GW Micro to ask them if they would make a Mac version, I thought they were going to hang up on me. So, that is the only compromise I feel I have made. Good luck with your decision and keep asking us questions. Jean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

I managed to get the album back by downloading it on my phone and syncing with the computer. However, I can find the album in itunes itself, but not on my local hard drive in the itunes media folder.

Re: Playing DVD's on the Mac
Hi Tim, That's great information, I'll remember that, but is there another dvd player for the mac that displays titles and chapters in a nice accessible format, like how dvd audio extractor does under windows? Kind regards, Andrew On 22 Feb 2014, at 3:29 am, Tim Kilburn kilbur...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, A couple things to try in DVD player. * Once the DVD has loaded, go up to the menubar with VO-m and over to the Go menu, down to Title and choose one of the Title options to see what plays. * Normally, if the DVD has just one Title, with a number of Chapters, then it should play all Chapters once it starts playing. If the DVD is set up like a bunch of episodes of a TV Show where the different episodes are actually different titles, then each one has to be accessed separately. * On occasion, you can press return after the DVD has loaded, press the down or right arrow key a number of times and get one of the other titles to play. The problem here is that the DVD menu on any given DVD is simply a graphical representation, and there usually isn't anything for VO to grab ahold of so it can be read. HTH. Later... to us.

When I loaded it into my Mac I found the Play button but nothing happens. I actually got the first part to play once, but that's about it and never any of the second part etc. So I loaded it into VLC. I turned off the DVD menu because I read that somewhere and I could see the play again, but only the first chapter plays once again. And the audio was very choppy like the dVD was damaged which it is not. So I downloaded dVD Extractor. I've used that on windows and it's accessible there to both play and rip the audio. On the mac none of the buttons were labeled but the hints gave me clues if those clues are to be believed. I can play the first chapter, and of course can't play any of the subsequent ones. Same when i go to extract the audio, it doesn't extract any other than the first chapter or give me the option to do so. So is this about copyright or something or is there something i'm doing wrong? I can see or rip all the chapters in windows, but can't play or rip any on the Mac no matter what I do so far.

mac version of dvd audio extractor and fantasy games
Hi all, Just wondering, is there a version of dvd audio extractor for the mac? or is there another program that for the mac that is easy to use and does the same thing as dvd audio extractor? Personally I have particularly found this program useful for moving through the titles on the dvd, for example, moving to the normal track, or the audio description track or deleted sceenes and playing each of those in turn, also the fact that you can turn audio description or any other track into mp3 is highly useful. Also, are there any fantasy audio games for the mac? There is a game under windows called entoombed in which you choose a fantasy creature such as human, dwarf, elf, ogar etc then you choose a job such as mage, fighter, druid, etc and you are trapped in a dungeon and have to fight your way out. It’s an awesome game and I wish I knew about when I was much younger. Are there any audio games for the mac like the one I’ve described above?

Re: windows virtual machine
Thanks all, I have maxed out my mac, I have 512 gb storage, 8 gb ram and the I7 processor, so I can quite easily run windows 7. To clarify, It’s recommended to allocate 10 gb for windows and jaws, plus another 10 for other things? I’ll only be using a couple of games, dvd audio extractor, unless there is a version of that for the mac, and sendero gps and maps for the pc. 20 gb should cover that nicely. and I guess 1 gb of ram since the games are only audio ones. Hope everyone has a good day, Andrew On 1 Jan 2014, at 5:51 pm, Chris Blouch cblo...@aol.com wrote: To add a bit more, VMWare is an app like any other. When it is running a virtual machine it uses up CPU and RAM but once you quit it it takes up only disk space. The disk space, as previously mentioned, is allocated as you use it. So I usually give 60GB to my virtual machine knowing that I'll only use a few of those GB for the initial Windows install plus whatever else I put in. How many actual GB Windows takes depends on what version. Win7 with the basics like Jaws and Firefox can easily eat up 10GB. For most folks disk space is a lot more available than RAM or CPU. I don't know as much about RAM but CPU is like most apps. If you just have VMWare with Windows sitting there doing nothing you'll use very little of your Mac's CPU. I usually try to allocate at least two CPU on Windows newer than XP. I generally give 512MB RAM to XP, 1024MB to anything newer and 2048MB to any 64-bit Windows. Of course you can't do that if it will starve your Mac side. If your machine only has two CPUs and 2GB RAM, don't allocate it all to Windows or things will bottleneck quickly. CB On 12/30/13 6:29 AM, Piotr Machacz wrote: The requirements for disk space and ram depend non the windows version. XP doesn’t need much, you could probably do with even 256MB and a couple gigs of disk space, but I’d recommend at least 512 or a gig of ram. Newer windows need more, for vista and seven you need a gig of ram and 20 gigs of disk space just for the OS. As far as resource usage, of course it has to come from somewhere, so they won’t be available on the mac. The good thing though is that the settings you choose for the VM aren’t immediately allocated. So, if your VM has 2 gigs of ram, but the VM is only using half of it, then vmware won’t use those 2 gigs as long as it’s not needed. The same holds for the CPU, where you can also specify how many cores a VM can use. But again it won’t immediately use all of it. For disk space, you can choose if you want it to already allocate the space (EG, a 20 gig virtual disk would already be 20 gigs), or not (so then that file wouldn’t take up the space if it’s not being used). For games, you can play audio games and anything light. But if you want to play main stream games that use a lot of video card resources, you’ll be better off setting up a bootcamp partition, so the game can use all the resources of your mac.

Re: Advantages and dis-advantages of the compact and HQ voices of Voiceover
Personally, I always use higher quality, it sounds more human I’d rather have a natural sounding voice than the robotic compact voice, high quality makes for a much nicer listening experience. I personally can’t understand when you have the high quality voices available for free, why you wouldn’t use them, but each to their own. *smile* I have a wide range of voices, I use the australian, british, scottish, irish, south african, and american voices, male and female and switch between them every so offten, when I get tired of one for a while, I’ll switch to another, use it for a little while, and switch to another. I adds variety and makes reading different things all the more interesting. On 24 Dec 2013, at 11:43 am, Daniel McGee danielmcgee...@googlemail.com wrote: Dear all, I have been thinking of late about the difference between the two different voices you get with Voiceover premium and compact so here are my thoughts. I would love to know what you think yourself and if you want to add to the discussion then by all means feel free to do so. Note: this list is by no means extensive its just what I think and what I write may differ to each and everyone’s personal experience. This is evaluated with the english Daniel voice. Premium voices Advantages: 1. Of a higher quality to listen to when reading. 2. Louder in volume. 3. At times, may pronounce a word more clearly in addition, also be more accurate at saying certain words better. Disadvantages: 1. When trying to speed up the voice after 45% on OSX or 30% on IOS. Find that they become less intelligible to understand. Therefore, finding that I have to remain at the above percentages or even decrease the speed. 2. When reading passages that contain words e.g. the, in, were, her and with. Find that such short words can be easily missed. So then I'm forced to interact with document, HTML area of webpage etc to find the currently missed word and then resume with say all after understanding it with the words method either IOS or OSX. Compact voices Advantages: 1. Able to easily speed up above the previous percentages. In other words, listen to the voices at a reasonably faster speaking-rate. 2. When reading documents find that shorter words are read, pronounced and spoken better. This seems to be the case too when reviewing by words. 3. Overall, to me it seems to be a better experience when reading by say all in the fact that clarity, pronunciation and understandability are the key factors to my hearing and productivity. For me, the premium voices seem to be a bit for lack of a better word “strong on the ear.” I find the compact voices more robotic and interestingly this feels more natural to hear for me. However, Feel free to dis-agree if you want to and if so I would love to know why? Disadvantages 1. obviously, the voices are of a lower quality so some people may find or even struggle to use the compact voices hence the premium ones for those who need them for a more natural sounding reading experience. 2. Pronunciation and clarity of words may not be for the end user liking. Again, echoing the above with a different factor this being the compact version taken into account. Conclusion This primarily being focused on the UK Daniel voice. Compact or premium. I have found that I move towards the compact version of this voice. However, since the release of Mavericks and IOS7, I make use occasionally of the premium version in certain cases since they have made compact more worser in my humble opinion in the latest version of the operating systems than there previous counterparts. Now is though where you guys come in. For those who are using the Nuance voices on OSX and IOS which voice do you use and do you prefer compact or premium and if so why? Seriously, ladies and gentlemen, I would love to know what you use and why you use it. I have done extensive testing to the best of my ability which is why I wanted to post my experience and findings to you in the hope that you will share your own thoughts too about the voices. If you could share as much information as possible on how you use your voices speaking rate, type of voice etc then would be grate. I just want to know how others use there voices and what they prefer etc. Ok I’m going to stop now.

Re: safely remove hard ware on mac
Thanks, I’ll give that a try. I just tried to eject it again and got a message saying it was still being used. where do I find disc utility?

Also, I can't remember from when I had a Stream but does the Stream just mount as one item? The reason I ask is that when I attach my mp3 player the player mounts and the sd card mounts separately and I have to eject both. But I seem to recall that with the Stream it just mounts as one item. There is one other thing you could try though you shouldn't have to do it. Go into Disk Utility and see if your stream shows up there. if it does, stop interacting with your stream selected and do vo-space on eject in the toolbar of Disk Utility.

determining the colour of font in pages and how to change it?
Hi all, I gave my resume to a potential organisation that may have offered me volunteer work while I look for work. They sent me back my resume and had made some changes and wrote in suggestions on how I might improve the resume. They said they had made changes in red. Naturally, visually, if some font is a different colour, this doesn’t look good, especially in a professional document like a resume. Using pages, how do I tell what colour font is and how do I change it? Thanks heaps in advance for all your help, much appreciated.

advantages and disadvantages of using a braille display
Hi all, I’m looking into perhaps using a braille display with my mac. for a long time I couldn’t see much point of a braille display because you’ve got the voice, so there’s no need for the braille. however, I’ve recently changed and see there are times where using a display can be good. Especially with my Iphone. I’ve tried turning the speech off and using the display to remotely control my phone and read the display. This has been good in noisy environments where others are around and having the phone’s speech muted and me using the display is nice. You can also be private if you wish. I for those who are experienced braille display users, apart from the advantage of not having to worry about headphones, which can be annoying at times I find when using the computer. One obvious advantage is no head phones. what are other advantages and disadvantages of using a braille display with a mac? how about having speech and braille at the same time, or muting speech? and do people usually leave the display connected all the time? if so, why? and if not, why not? and if not, what specific reasons do you connect your display. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Since I am a couple versions back on OS right now I will not give specific instructions, but to open preferences in any app you can select it from the AppName menu or type command-comma. Once you have the preferences for mail open you need to click on the Rules button in the toolbar. Either use item chooser or interact with the toolbar at the top of the screen THere will be an Add rule button. Mail also has a feature called Smart Mailboxes which can work similar to rules, but are not actions that only occur when a new unread e-mail is first included in the system. Also, at one point I was considering purchasing MailActOn which is an extension that has more flexible rules and also allows shortcuts for those rules. I am not sure if they are still in business but if you are a mail power user, you should look for extensions like this. I believe Glen Fleishman has a listing of his essential mail add ons.

Re: book sample link on audible doesn't work
Can you get flash player for mac?

Introducing myself, questions from a new mac user
Hi all, My name is Andrew. I am 23 and from Australia. I have recently switched from windows to the mac. I have had an IPhone for 2 years now, and liked the idea of the built in screen reader and having the same access as sighted people out of the box, without the need to buy or install any extra software! I have also been unimpressed with Jaws particularly with jaws 15, and the so called new features which are really improvements to what’s already there. I look forward to participating in this group and hopefully down the line, helping fellow new users. I have had help with a lot of things, I’ve found I need to relearn how to do everything all over again. It’s a challenge, but fun at the same time. I have some questions I would like some help with please. 1. I know how to copy from an external hard drive to the mac hard drive, but how do you copy between 2 locations on the mac hard drive itself? say how would I copy from downloads to my personal folder? 2.
