Re: delting files in mavericks?

2013-10-23 Thread Cait and Maggie
I didn’t think so, either.
I finally got it fixed by repairing disk permissions and running onyx.  I 
actually had to go and repair my start up disk too, so possibly something was 
just really messed up all over.

stuff seems to be mostly working now, though.

some small weirdnesses, but there always are with new OS’s.

:)

thanks!

 Hi everyone, so far I must say I’m disappointed with Mail in Mavericks.
 Mail in Mavericks has become way to chatty for my tastes and I’m hoping 
 I’ve just missed a setting to make it stop.
 In Mountain Lion, I had my message list set up so all I heard was the 
 sender, and the subject. If there was an attachment, I heard that too. Now 
 it seems the time that the message was sent and some other stuff that just 
 slows me down is included and I haven’t found a way to turn it off.
 Second, the number of messages in a conversation is now spoken at the end, 
 after the message header details and the message preview. I’d prefer the 
 old behaviour, where I heard how big the conversation was at the very 
 beginning.
 And finally, I used to get from my message list to the email i wanted to 
 read by pressing VO+J. The message would immediately start to read. Now it 
 seems a first press of VO+J does nothing at all, and to do the same thing 
 that once took 1 press of VO+J now takes three. I think this latter one is 
 a bug.
 I’ve really enjoyed using Mail in Mountain Lion but if I can’t get the 
 chatty behaviour under control, will run Outlook in a VM.
 Thanks for any thoughts.

delting files in mavericks?

2013-10-22 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
I upgraded to mavericks tonight, something I usually don’t do!.

anyway, some of the keystrokes might’ve changed, but when I checked, sure 
enough, the one for deletion of a file is supposedly still command delete, but 
mine isn’t working, I get an annoying bonk sound.

I checked in the sharing option of preferences, and also users and groups just 
inc axe for some reason I am not considered an admin, but I am there as one.

What else can I try?

I am trying to get rid of an annoying app I got but now don’t want?

mail settings questionn: checking mail

2013-10-01 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
I thought there was a setting in mail where you can say how often to check 
mail?  I can't find this now.  I have two accounts, one pop and the other is 
imap.  Every time the pop one checks for mail, I'm being prompted for a 
password.  I'd rather just check this account manually instead of every ten 
minutes or whatever the default timing is..

anybody know the answer to this?
Thanks!

airport extreme hook up question

2013-09-27 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
We just got an extreme and I have a few questions.

We currently have one of those modem/router boxes from our internet provider.  
We want to replace the router in that box with the extreme.

How is this done?  Do I deactivate the router in the modem box, then attach the 
extreme to the box and configure the extreme?


Talking to our internet provider about the extreme wouldn't be helpful, as they 
 don't like people using other devices, even though you can do this.
thanks for any info,

pages question

2013-09-26 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
I am wondering how to go about getting pages back on my mac.

When I first got my mac, I also purchased an I work cd from apple.  My mac came 
with pages already installed.  We also put pages on Mark's mac, which was 
allowed.

somewhere along the way of upgrading OS's, pages isn't on my mac anymore.  I 
can't find the original CD, either.

I copied the i work folder from Mark's applications folder and pasted it on 
mine.  I got the message that I needed to be running the latest version, but 
there was no button to update, etc, just that error message.

there is no record of my purchasing I work in the mac app store, of course.

Will I have to buy each element of I work again just to get the latest versions?

thanks,
Cait

Re: how to create folders in iOS7?

2013-09-22 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi Danielle,
You have to put apps on top of one another, just as before.  The trick is that 
sometimes you have to hold them there for a little while before the folder is 
created.  I'm finding that you also have to have a light touch on the screen, 
this for me, seemed to work better then really pushing down.

hth,
Caitlyn

Re: Option T for time, Apple Script on new MBA

2013-09-21 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hey Kim,
Go into the vo utility and pick the first row in the table, it might be called 
general or something like that.   this is where you can add a personalized 
greeting when the computer is turned on.  In this same row is the radio button 
for "use apple scripts".  Make sure this is checked.

Now go down to the commanders row.  Go into that and pick keyboard commander.  
Make sure that keyboard commander is selected/turned on.  If you look under 
this, I think the one for time is under there.  If not, there should be an 
option for you to create it by pressing the keys you want.

I am doing this from memory, so sorry if some things are jumbled..
Cait, going for coffee now!

Yes, I'd try removing them and then reinstalling.

There hasn't been an update to the tools as tar as I know.   I used the ones

I'm running an xp virtual machine and am doing the trial version of fusion 6.0.

I had to try installing vm tools twice, but it took on the second try.  I am 
not having issues with crashing.

How much ram do you have on your mac?  also, wonder if you need to make the ram

I have 16 g of ram on my i mac.

preview pane again

2013-08-30 Thread Cait and Maggie
Jean,
For that preview pane thing, stop interacting with the messages table.
Vo right left arrow to the *vertical* splitter.  Then you have to either click 
the physical mouse or the track pad.

You know you're successful in getting rid of the preview pane if you get tossed 
back into a message.  Also, when you go back into the messages table, you won't 
see the vertical splitter to the left of the messages table anymore.

hth,
Cait

Re: interacting

2013-08-30 Thread Cait and Maggie
Jean,
If you have the preview pane turned off, then you can use enter to read the 
mail messages.  If it's still turned on, then vo j will work to switch between 
the messages column and the message body.

To turn the preview pane off, from the message column, vo right arrow over to 
the horizontal splitter and interact with that.  then do a vo space. to 
simulate a mouse click.  that should get rid of it for you.  If it wasn't the 
vo space, then try vo shift m.  sorry, I'm having a semi brainless day due to a 
migraine.

hth, even a little bit!
Caitlyn

Re: ole aria?

2013-08-09 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi there,
I found another daisy app called Emerson, which looks more promising.
I'm playing around with it now but can't figure out how to open daisy files 
with it.  Maybe it doesn't like bookshare daisy books.
anybody know where to get these sort of books from places other then bookshare?

Re: ole aria?

2013-08-06 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi Alex,
yeah, OK, I did try the menu extras or whatever it's called, too, and didn't 
find ole aria, either.
I'm trying ti find a daisy reader for the mac or a way to have a way to make 
bookmarks in a scanned file, akin to k1000 so that I don't have to use a 
virtualized machine, if possible.
I don't have a problem running vm fusion, just am looking for another way, if 
possible.
thanks,

Yep!
I'm thinking about turning the darn thing off for the time being.
Just about everything I read is underlined, too-I think this is showing that 
it's highlighted, but it's annoying.  Can I turn this feature off, too?
Since listening to a podcast recently, I've learned that I can do way more 
input from the actual display then I thought I could originally, so am using 
the display more these days.
Any help anybody can give, etc, would be great so I can use this more.

braille commands and more

2013-08-03 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
OK, I'm a bit confused now.
I turned on the status cells on my braille sense and don't understand what they 
mean.
Also, is there a command to use with a braille display that's akin to VO j?
Is there someplace I can go to read up on this stuff?
thanks,
Cait

thanks Buddy.
I did want the braille edge, but ADP doesn't cover that one, unfortunately.
It was either the brilliant, the focus ones, or the alva.
The brilliant they showed me had no input keys and was very simple.
lol, I hate humanware, so didn't want to go with the brilliant for that reason 
plus the no input keys.
I'm glad I said something now, because I might be able to change it before

Eric,
This is funded through ADP.
My only choices were/are the brilliant, the alva, and the freedom scientific 
focus products.
I really wanted a braille edge, but no go.
It might be problematic to go back to get this changed..
thanks for your input, though.  I haven't cemented anything in stone yet with 
the vender.

i pal

2013-07-23 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
does anybody here have any experiences with i pal to share?
considering it and the hover cam, but want input before making a final decision.
Before somebody suggests it, I've tried docuscan and for some stupid reason I 
can't get it to work on my particular mac.  Tech support at serotech can't 
figure out why, they just say it's my machine. so, obviously that's not an 
option.
thanks,
Cait

Re: braille edge display and voice over?

2013-07-10 Thread Cait and Maggie
Eric,
Thanks tons!
This is totally helpful.  It doesn't surprise me about WE at all.  I don't use 
fusion all that much, just for my school and I can live with maybe using 
computer braille for that if needs be.  I won't be buying anymore sma's for 
that program after version 8.0 I don't think..
the rest sounds great, though.  I've been struggling along with my old bps for 
awhile now, so having 40 cells sounds a treat but I got used to 32 cells.

braille edge display and voice over?

Hi,
anybody here have any experiences to share with using the braille edge display 
with voice over and the mac?  I'm considering getting this display and would 
like any feedback about it.  I've been reading about and it looks promising.
I'm also wondering about using it within vm fusion with window eyes and/or 
nvda..  the primary use would be with the mac and voiceover, though.
Thanks for any and all help with this.

which braille display?

2013-07-07 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
I'm in the market for a braille display to use with an i mac and possibly a mac 
laptop and maybe down the line an i pad.
I can't see myself wanting any less then 32 cells.
anyone got any suggestions of good ones?
I've been using my Braille sense Plus, but it's dying a slow painful death, so 
that's why I'm starting to research something new now.
the only other one I've had experience with was the focus 40 but that was 
problematic with the mac in that I didn't get full functionalityy for obvious 
reasons.
thanks so much for any insights and or suggestions!

Re: VMWare Fusion questions

2013-05-20 Thread Cait and Maggie
Alex,
Setting up the vm is accessible.  I think as long as you have the key you can 
put it on three machines.  My vm is 40 gigs, but all I'm using my windows 
machine for is k1000 and some windows games that don't have mac versions yet so 
I don't need a big one.
Hope somebody else can answer the other questions you have.

Harry,
There's froths.  I know you said you weren't interested in the iOS side of 
things.  they do have an iOS version of it, but they might do a mac version as 
well, I think I remember somebody saying there was awhile back.  There are tons 
of games that come with it.
