But once you work through all the headaches, it can be done pretty well. First, you won't be using Parallels. It's not accessible. You'll have to use VMware fusion if you want a virtual machine or of course you can use Boot Camp if you don't mind separating your Windows and Mac experience. The biggest problem with VMware fusion is that most of my sighted friends using Macs don't use it. It doesn't have nearly the ratings of Parallel and except for accessibility doesn't seem to be of interest to people I know. So getting help is sometimes challenging. If you want your experience to be particularly snappy in windows, you'll have to have at least three cores to dedicate to the Windows box. Fortunately the Mac doesn't need so much. I had mine on a Mac Air but it was pretty sluggish and crashed a lot. I finally wen to a Macbook Pro with maximum specs and it's running quite well. But that doesn't address your interest to do this on the cheap. I think your copy of WindowEyes will run in the virtual machine with Windows7 but check with them to be sure. NVDA certainly will of course. be prepared for headaches though. You have to map some keys, resolve whatever conflicts arise about hardware and applications etc. I've found it to be pretty challenging at times.

Hi I don't believe you can get VoiceOver to speak in password edit fields which makes a whole lot of sense. To enable VoiceOver at startup this is not necessary once command-f5 is invoked.

It is accessible but I could go on for hours about pros and cons of all of them, lol. Thanks and take care y'all. Hope everybody is doing well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Once that is done, boot to that drive instead of your regular one, open Disk Utility, completely wipe your Macintosh HD partition (not the entire hard drive) and then close Disk Utility and select install Mac OS 10.9 Mvericks. Once that installs, you're done and can start restoring your data. For today, have you considered closing Mail completely and operating off the Basic HTML version of Gmail's website instead?

Re: Is your iCloud address a separate Apple ID?
Don't be confused. The iCloud e-mail address can be used as a separate e-mail account at no additional charge as part of the service. Your Gmail address will still be your Apple Id. Regards Chris On 10/02/2014 20:36, Alex Hall wrote: Hi all, I'm sending this to the VIPhone list as well, so I'm sorry if you get it twice. I was trying to change a friend's Apple ID to his iCloud address, just to keep things simple, and planned to do the same for my own account later today. However, it disallowed it, since the email address cannot be in a domain owned by Apple. A bit of googling, and I find that your iCloud account is an Apple ID in itself. I'm now thoroughly confused. I have a Gmail address tied to my Apple ID, and I have an @icloud.com address. Do I have two Apple IDs now? Do I have one with multiple addresses? What would happen to my apps, music, and the rest if I wanted to move to my iCloud email as my ID, assuming it is somehow different from my Gmail ID? I am just very confused, and hope someone can explain exactly what's going on.

GW Micro and Microsoft Corp. have partnered to make Window-Eyes available to users of Microsoft Office at no cost. Window-Eyes is a screen reader that enables people who are blind, visually impaired, or print disabled to have full access to Windows PCs and makes the computer accessible via speech and/or Braille. To better deliver Window-Eyes to the people who need it most, GW Micro and Microsoft have collaborated on this global initiative, available in over 15 languages, to enable anyone using Microsoft Office 2010 or later to also use Window-Eyes for free. Access to technology is critical to people who are blind or visually impaired in order to have the same opportunity to compete in the workplace. As such, this initiative between GW Micro and Microsoft has the potential to reduce barriers for millions of people who are blind or visually impaired around the world. As the population ages, technologies like Window-Eyes will become more and more important as the number of people with age-related macular degeneration and other retinal degenerative diseases increases. This significant change in the way we are doing business reflects the changing perception of accessibility and also technology in general. Rather than wait for the world to change, Microsoft and GW Micro are leading the way, said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GW Micro. Weirich believes this technology can help millions of people gain access to their PC, and that providing it free of charge will open a whole new world of assistive technology to many people. In light of the rapidly changing face of technology and specifically, the changing face of assistive technology, the combined efforts of GW Micro and Microsoft have the goal of providing accessibility to people who are blind and visually impaired for the long term. Microsoft continues to take accessibility seriously. “By partnering with GW Micro in this endeavor we are demonstrating Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to provide all of our customers with the technology and tools to help each person be productive in both their work and personal lives.” said Rob Sinclair, Chief Accessibility Officer for Microsoft.

Re: iTunes Gift Credit Differs From MBA iPhone
Hi no issue, go view your account on the iPhone by going to settings iTunes and App Stores double tap on your account and double tap view Apple Id, it should show your true balance after that.

What you get it set up it's simple as pie. First, turn Wi-Fi on on your iPhone. Then turn Bluetooth on. Then go to personal hotspot and settings, you will notice several choices after you've turned it on. One of the choices is Wi-Fi, and that's the one I did. Now there is this horrible code you have to put in to your Mac. It is on your iPhone screen and you have to do it character by character. Go in to the extras menu with the voiceover keys and the letter M twice. Then VO left or right arrow until you get to Wi-Fi. Press the VO space on that. Then you have to go down until your Mac says Owner's iPhone and choose that. Then you have to get the choices and type in that awful code. From now on you have a network that says Owner's iPhone so that if you don't Internet Wi-Fi your iPhone can let you use your cellular data minutes. I have a lot of them so it's not a problem. Now you can use Safari on your computer and send emails on your computer. You ask why can't you just use your iPho? Well, if you have some files to attach like I did you can use your to send them just like any other Wi-Fi. It's fast, too if your cell connection is good.

I asked if there was anyone who could just answer me over the phone, and was told that if I wanted phone support I could buy a single incident support request for $30… That's half of what I just paid for the entire Fusion program! So now, even though I haven't even started using Fusion due to their own website/program not working, I'm waiting for an email from an engineer which will, I strongly suspect based on my experience so far, be some form letter that may or may not answer my question.

Re: Is VMWare known to hold holiday sales?
Even better download Fusion now and use it free for 30 days so you could buy it for the holidays and yet still be within the evaluation period. E-mail Facebook and iMessage christopher...@gmail.com On 21/11/2013 05:32, Alex Hall wrote: Hi all, I'm about to purchase VMWare Fusion, finally! My question is, with the holiday sales about a week away, should I wait? I may need to demo some things to a client pretty soon, so I'd like to get this done now, but if VMWare is going to sell Fusion for half price or something I'd like to take advantage of that. With the holiday week I don't think my demos will happen before Thanksgiving and the associated days of shopping, but I am not sure. So, bottom line: historically, is there a reason to expect VMWare to discount Fusion in the next week or so, or should I just go ahead and buy it now? I don't mind if I get it and then they have a sale for the first time, but if they do something every year I'd like to know so I can hold off. Thanks in advance.

Re: iTunes radio
iTunes Radio is not a subscription service. Instead it is free for all iTunes users, with ads being incorporated into the service. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, then the ads will be removed. To get started double tap on the radio tab in the iOS music app. According to a podcast done by Gw Micro to use iTunes Radio on the desktop version of iTunes, check the radio radio button. Yes it is really called radio. The internet radio is still there under the internet radio button.

Focus display and Mavericks
Kristeen Hughes khwi...@gmail.com Nov 12 04:27PM -0500
Okay, I look and I don't see some things that seem to be rather importatn. For
example, if you are wanting to switch from one open app to another, how do you
do it with the display. Are you using a keyboard along with the display?
Kristeen
Teresa Cochran vegaspipistre...@gmail.com Nov 12 01:58PM -0800
Admittedly, yes, I’m also using a keyboard. My opinion is that you’ll probably
have to do quite a lot of customizing to use a Braille display as a primary
keyboard.
For switching apps, I’d probably map a braille keystroke to VO-applications
list. (VO-f1 twice quickly)I don’t think there’s an easy way to map one to
command-tab.

Hi,
Teresa is correct, you have to do a lot of customizing in order to get your

your keyboard more than you would like to. That's just the nature of the beast.

True duys, but I know I can get to the menu with my braille display. I c'
remember how to do it on a Focus 40 although I had one. Can anyone remember
what the braille keyboard command is for going to the menu and using left and
right arrows. I found that useful when I was somewhat away from my computer. On
my Braille Edge, it has some keys on it that will bring up Spotlight and the
menus and the dock. That may help some. For instance, space dd sign will bring
up the dock. Space question mark will let you interact and space low j will
stop interacting. Do you have a list of braille key commands that are already
in place?

Gigi

It’s s-chord (dots 2-3-4-space). I just use the panning keys to display
different areas of the menu bar, and then use the cursor-routing keys on the
item I want. sometimes this doesn’t work, and I have to use dot 4-chord and dot
1-chord to navigate through the menus

Hi Kristeen, Teresa and the rest. The workaround I did for single-keystroke app
switching was to write two scripts to simulate command-tab and
command-shift-tab respectively. Then I assigned running of the scripts to focus
commands (I used 12-chord and 45-chord). The scripts had one line each:
Tell application System Events to keystroke tab using command down
Tell application System Events to keystroke tab using {command down shift
down}
In the examples above the tab means double quote then press tab then double
quote again. \t might also be valid. I'm still not applescript proficient.
Hope that trick helps you out.

Re: Feature Request: iCloud Syncing of VoiceOver Preferences
Unless I am misunderstanding I can't see this going to work. VoiceOver uses different voices on both iOS and Mac. So if they are going to implement this on the mac then it will have to work across macs only. VoiceOver settings are already synced to iCloud as part of documents and data. In my experience when restoring my iPhone 4s from an iCloud backup made on the iPhone 4, all my VoiceOver settings came across except for the voice, but that's a different matter altogether. E-mail Facebook and iMessage christopher...@gmail.com On 31/10/2013 06:48, Nicholas Parsons wrote: Dear Apple Accessibility Team, With such deep integration of iCloud with so many aspects of iOS and OS X, it's surprising that VoiceOver has so far been left out. Many VoiceOver users own multiple Apple devices, and would benefit greatly from being able to sync VoiceOver preferences across all their devices. Currently, for Mac, there is the portable preferences feature. Though no doubt a good idea at the time, this is now a little out dated and clunky, requiring a user to carry around a USB flash drive to plug into each mac, it also seems to have troubles syncing preferences in multiple directions, at least in my experience. I've also tried exporting my VoiceOver preferences to a third party syncing service (Dropbox), but this also does not seem to work smoothly. It doesn't seem to export or import my pronunciation and keyboard commander preferences, for example. iCloud seems like the perfect solution for this problem.

It could offer syncing between Macs, between iOS devices and even between Macs and iOS devices so far as the same preferences were applicable. I hope you consider this for a future update to VoiceOver and both iOS and OS X. Thank you for all your great work.

Re: Observation with voice on Mavericks
To set up different voices for VoiceOver open the VoiceOver utility with Vo f8 then press command 3 to switch to the speech pain of the utility. I selected Karen as my default voice but you can also have different voices for different things in VoiceOver. Now to change the voice for the clock go to System Preferences, Date and Time and select the clock tab. Check the announce time check box and there will be a button there to customize the voice for that. Now to change the voice overall for the system go to System Preferences, Dictation and Speech and select the text to speech tab.

Yes, delete the Gmail account on your computer, and no you do not need to disable imap. So long as pop is enabled it should work. Also I suggestin using the other option when adding a new account.

Re: Offline dictation available in Mavericks
So how do I do this? Do I go to System Preferences Dictation and Speech?

Under Mountain Lion as with iOS, you needed an Internet connection and it was done over Apple’s servers. Apologies if this has already been posted to the list, but I haven’t seen it and thought it may be of interest.

Re: accessible spotify on os x? or alternative music service on osx
Yup it sucks doesn't it? Would love to use Spotify as a music lover but can't due to the stupid accessibility or lack of it thereof on the desktop platforms. Can't stand listening to music on the iPhone with its built in speakers and don't want to be strapped to wired or have issues with wireless headphones. Am hoping to get a bluetooth speaker as a Christmas present for myself so may look into Spotify after then. On 03/08/2013 05:28, Kevin Gibbs wrote: Actually, I'd like to know about this as well. Spotify is accessible on my iPhone. But it's not accessible at all on the Mac itself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Would appreciate knowing if I can upload n audio file to Facebook
No you cannot upload audio directly to Facebook but you can share links to the audio file from any source such as Dropbox or Sendspace.

I sometimes can get a choose file to appear on the mobile site, but cannot find which button allows me to choose the file before hitting that button. Thank you.

Re: Trouble with win seven, bootcamp, and mac book air...
Yes that's incorrect both 32 and 64 bit are supported. On 02/08/2013 16:52, Phil Halton wrote: hmmm I thought bootcamp only supported windows 64bit. When I installed win7 Home Premium on my iMac, I first downloaded the bootcamp drivers before doing the install so I'd have them ready at hand. Then I installed windows7 64bit and the ddrivers at the end of the process and it worked fine. I don't know why, I thought that you could only install 64 bit versions of windows, but I'm sure that must be wrong. On 8/2/13, Cameron Strife came...@cameronstrife.com wrote: Hi everybody. Perhaps somebody has gone through this and can shed some light on what might be going on... I've searched apple forums etc but haven't found a solution yet... My girlfriend needs windows on her mac book air for work so I installed win seven Ultimate 32 bit after creating the required partition in the bootcamp utility in mountain lion. When I instruct the bootcamp utility to download the windows support software, I get the dialogue box saying that the download is in progress. That's where it ends though because it just seems stuck. I even let it sit overnight and the same dialogue box was still there the next morning. There is no status bar etc that is visible to voiceover, none that I can find at least. So, I went on the apple site and downloaded the two latest 32 bit versions of the package but neither will install. I get an error message when I run setup.exe that says that it's not compatible with this machine. We're not running win seven 64 bit either so that is not the issue. I grabbed the bootcamp folder off of my old snow lepeard dvd and while that seems to install correctly, (I get the last dialogue box with the finish button then the message saying that I need to restart the computer), none of the drivers load after rebooting and bootcamp is not in the notifications area. When I go into device manager, it doesn't look like any of the apple and other specific drivers have loaded because I only see generic drivers under things like keyboard, network adapters etc. This is my first time installing windows via bootcamp on an air and my first time doing it on a mac with mountain lion. I've done this on five different macs over the past few years with no trouble but now I am at a loss as to what's going on here... Thoughts? Thanks for any tips you guys might have!

Can't help but I was considering an Alva until I heard how good the Focus Blue is as a future Braille display.
