Re: ciberduck
Hi John, I haven't found the clunky at all. To open the folder you want interact with it using Control option shift down arrow and then control option space to open the folder. Voice over will announce that the folder is expanded you can then stop interacting with it, using control option shift up arrow and then down arrow through the files in that folder. The only thing I find a bit clunky is that you don't get a list of folders at the top, and then files underneath, but this is a standard Mac thing rather than the way cyber duck works. I suppose you could probably change the option in view. Hope this helps. Sent from my iPhone On 23 Sep 2014, at 22:33, Jean radiofore...@gmail.com wrote: Hi: I downloaded ciber duck.

Re: spotify accessibility on the mac.
Sadly not, at least not for the Mac. It is accessible on iPods, iPads and iPhones. Contact them using the links provided on the website and let them know about inaccessibility on the Mac. I have done this if you times over the last few years, and each time their response has been along the lines of: we are always looking to incorporate new features into our service. But the more people message them about this, the more likely we are to get a positive result. I am going to respond to their email later today.

Re: spotify accessibility on the mac.
The reason the web player doesn't work by the way, is because it uses flash, which isn't directly accessible for with voice-over on the Mac.

Thanks. I looked for it being mentioned on Google, but I didn't see it mentioned on any accessibility websites.

Headings, subheadings, etc are configured in the Styles drawer and you can set up to 8 hotkeys for these. When you save a template, the configured hotkeys are saved with it. I can't explain things with reference to Word as I'm not familiar with Word. Cheers, Anne On 17 Sep 2013, at 14:40, David Eagle onlineea...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi Alex, I've used markdown a bit. I'll have to explore it in a bit more detail. I do use HTML quite a lot on my website. Anyway, I downloaded Pages and was able to use it, although I was surprised to find that there were separate areas for header, body and footer. I assumed that it would just work like Microsoft Word on Windows where you select the text you want to make a heading and hen apply a heading to it in the menu or with a keyboard shortcut. I'm a bit confused as to how the headers thing works in Pages? Any idea? Thanks for your help.

Re: Word processor
Thanks Anne, that worked great. There only seems to be two heading levels, but this is fine for me. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be using a mac for everything, but it's happening. Thanks again for your help. On 17 September 2013 16:06, Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk wrote: Hello David, First of all, when you open a Pages document, go to the View menu and hide everything you can. Also, never use Quick Nav in Pages. Once you have some text in your document, press Cmd-Shift-t to show the styles drawer. Stop interacting with everything and navigate left past the Toolbar to the drawer and interact. Navigate right and interact with the Paragraph styles table. There you should find what you're looking for. You set a hotkey by getting a contextual menu on the style you want and pressing h for hotkey. The submenu offers you the available hotkeys which are F1 to F8.

However, I cannot find an FTP solution, and since I work quite a bit with FTP this is a bit of a blow. Apparently you can use terminal, but I can't find a place to enter a password. I can find username and host but no password field. I have selected ftp in the services list. Any help with terminal for FTP would be very much appreciated. I tried filezilla, which works brilliantly on the PC and is fully accessible on the PC, but sadly this is fully inaccessible on the mac. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Review: The Limeade 18000 MAH battery pack: a lot of power for the money
EBrilliant Scott, coincidentally, I just found out about these things this week and have been considering options, so this review was perfect timing. Thanks very much. Sent from my iPhone On 16 Aug 2013, at 19:04, Scott Davert scottslistm...@gmail.com wrote: below is a review I wrote concerning the product mentioned in the subject. I tried to describe it as best I could for those who cannot see pictures of it. taken from: http://www.applevis.com/accessory-reviews/miscellaneous/limeade-18000-mah-battery-pack-lot-power-money Introduction The Limeade line of products come in many different sizes to suit your needs. They have a few packs, ranging in size from the $25 5000 MAH battery pack to the $99 18 MAH battery pack. You can look at all the different models to compare for yourself by searching Amazon for Limeade. This specific review only covers the 18 MAH version. The higher the number, the more it costs, but also the larger the device and more juice you get to power your devices. Description The 18000 MAH version of this pack measures 4.9 x 3.1 x 0.9 inches and weighs 13 ounces. TO give an idea of how that compares to other devices, it's about as long as my iPhone 5, is slightly wider than the iPhone 5, and is about 2 times as thick. There is only 1 button on the device, which can be found on the side of the battery pack. It is located closest to the micro USB port. When you orient the button so that it is on the left side and is closest to you, all other functions are on the front of the pack. The button you never need to use, as the device auto turns on and off when something is connected and disconnected from it. Pressing the power button once will cause the LED to briefly flash to indicate the amount of power the pack has remaining. Pressing it twice rather quickly will turn on the flashlight. Pressing it again twice will turn this off. . As indicated previously, the micro USB port is located on the left front of the unit. next to that, you'll find the LED light, which doubles as a flashlight and battery power indicator. To the right of that, you will find 2 USB ports which, yes, will allow you to charge 2 devices at the same time. Next to the LED light is a 1 AMP USB port, which works fine for iPhones and other accessories with smaller batteries, and to the right of that is a 2.1 amp USB port. This is most suitable for charging tablets and other accessories that have larger batteries. You can charge iPhones and other acessories with either port, but you must charge tablets with the 2.1 amp port. I didn’t notice much of a difference in speed when charging my iPhone 5 with the 2.1 amp port versus the 1 amp. What's in the box. In the box is the battery pack itself, along with a USB cable which has a standard USB connector to plug in to the pack, and then the other end doubles as a micro USB connector or 30-pin Apple connector, which Apple used up until last year for all of its devices. You simply move the 30-pin connector out of the way when you wish to use the Micro USB cord. Operation and impressions One of the biggest concerns I had with this pack was the flashlight feature. The button seems hard to bump, and would take 2 fairly quick bumps to activate, so this doesn't really bother me as I thought it would. The lack of an accessible way for me to check the power available kind of stinks, but it pretty much comes with the territory, unless you want to shell out the same amount of money for a battery pack which talks, but only has 1/3 of the capacity. I have charged my iPhone with this device 4 times, this includes the case with the additional battery, and the Limeade has still not gone dead. From reading reviews, it appears as though the battery pack takes about 12-14 hours to charge completely, so I'll do that once the pack goes dead, which will probably be soon. One of the nice things about this pack is that I don't have to worry about fiddling with the button on the side. It has an auto turn on and turn off feature which works whenever you connect or disconnect a device being charged. I've carried this device in my pocket, but it was a bit hefty to carry around, as there was no room for anything else in that pocket, so I usually kept it at home or in my office in my bag. One of the draw-back to the Limeade line of products is that they do not come with a wall charger, but you can use the included cable to charge from your computer, or use a wall power supply of your own to charge the device. I wish a wall charger had been included, but I have several laying around, so it wasn't a big deal. It also did not come with a lightning connector, also not a big deal, as I can simply use the USB cable that came with my phone, but it's something the user should be aware of when purchasing the product. Concluding remarks This device seems to work very well. There are a couple of draw-backs, which I mainly can address given

Hi, I just use wordpress either the website or IPhone app version. I don't use Marsedit or anything like that.

Tbilliant, thanks, that works great. I think the reason I was confused was because I was trying to do it with a bluetooth keyboard.

To save some typing tap means double tap. Tap add reminder. Type the reminder name. Tap edit details which appears to the right of the text field. Tap on a day. Now a date will appear right in the middle of the screen. If you use speed dots its directly at the center dot. Tap the date. It should be today's date. It will now be selected and you now have to feel in the bottom section of the screen where the time and date pickers have appeared. It's important that you touch the picker section of the screen as swiping will deselect the date option in the middle of the screen and the pickers will go away until you tap the date again. You can swipe between day, month, hour, minutes in 5 minute intervals and am/pm but swipe outside the picker section and again, the pickers disappear. Tap the repeat button for a screen with never, daily, every week, 2 weeks, month or year options. You can also tap show more to get options to set priority, choose which reminder list the reminder is in and to add text notes. Tap done when your finished and that's that. .

Re: spotify or alternative that is VO friendly on ios and possibly mac as well
Hi Christina. I use Spotify on IOS. It’s brilliant. Fully accessible. They recently changed something that might be a bit confusing to new users. In order to access the options like Playlist and Search, you have to access the Open side Bar menu. But it is fully accessible. As for the Mac, the last time I checked, it was completely inaccessible; I couldn’t even get past the welcome screen, but when someone clicked off it for me, it was still inaccessible. Give it a try on the Mac, and then get in touch with Spotify and let them know your thoughts. I’ve done the same before, but didn’t get a response. I intend to do the same again. Let’s make them aware that we are out there. I only listen to music on my IPhone now. I connect it to headphones or speakers. Honestly, it’s amazing. I have added 4900 tracks to my starred playlist. I often just shuffel play and let Spotify choose from those tracks. If you get it, let me know if you need help.

There used to be software, called mac fuse, that allowed us to mount an ftp site in read write mode, rather than in read-only mode, which is what the finder always does. I experimented with mac fuse under snow leopard and there I had that working as far as I remember, but to my knowledge, mac fuse has not been updated for lion, nor for mountain lion. Is there another way to easily mount an ftp site in finder as read/write, or alternatively, what are you using to upload stuff into an ftp site using your mac? If it's just a zip file or another single thing, then I can help myself with the terminal command line ftp client, but I'd rather find an easier solution. Any ideas?

Re: Hosting with Wordpress.orgq
Hi Alison, I use hostgator to host my website, which is £4.99 a month and offers unlimited space (apparently). I use Wordpress.org on my Mac and PC. I also use the Wordpress app on my IPhone. I don't use any podcast provider for my podcasts. I make the rss files in notepad on the PC. I then just use my hosting on hostgator to store the podcasts. I don't use MarsEdit; I do everything through the Wordpress website or the IPhone app. On 05/10/2012, Robert Carter nc5rn...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Allison, I use Wordpress on the Mac and I host the Tech Doctor podcast with a company called Blue Host.

But what I want to do with wordpress.org is a little more in the way of pages, and static text. I want to be able to upload audio, post a link to a video on youtube, or maybe use VideoPress, and create a feed for my podcast using powerpress. I have read some things about how some users have had trouble switching to wordpress.org. I have two more questions, do you have to pay a fee to remove the adds from your blog if you host with wordpress.org? Also, if you create multiple websites, do you have to pay to register each domain separately? Currently, I paid for the 10GB of storage on my wordpress.com account to upload audio. This is as far as I have gotten. I'm confused about where to go next. Should I host with Wordpress.org or some other company. I'm looking in to a company called Westhost, they give you 200GB, multiple databases with Wordpress which allows you to create multiple sitesfor $8 a month. I'm not affiliated with this company in any way, just trying to explain my dilemma a little clearer. I've never used Wordpress with the Mac, so I'm wondering if what I want to do is even possible with VoiceOver. I'm also still running Lion, need to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If I have offended the moderators, and not posted a Mac-related topic, I apologize in advance.

Re: Warnning about the new release of the official Twitter app
Here's Twitter's reply. Bare in mind that I said I was blind and explained exactly what the accessibility issue was: To troubleshoot your issue, we recommend you clear cache from the application settings on your device. To clear your cache go to your Settings Safari Clear Cache. If this does not resolve the issue, try deleting the app and reinstalling it. To reinstall the app hold down the app icon and you will see a X appear next to it. Tap on that X, that will delete the app. Then visit http://www.twitter.com/download to download the app. Please note that this will affect your app settings. If you're are troubleshooting an issue with a Twitter account that has been integrated into your iOS 5-powered device, try removing your account and signing in again. To remove your account: 1.Go to your phone’s System Settings 2. Tap on Twitter 3. Tap on the account that needs to be removed 4. Select Delete Account --- brilliant, I will see an X appear will I? I've responded, non-sarcasticly of course, reiterating the issue. Good news is that TweetList is great.

But when anything new is released, there is going to be bugs etc as I have been a beta tester and know how hard people work to get a product into shape. So rather than people complaining as people seem to do, why not just send your concerns to Apple Accessibility and rather than bashing a product work with them to improve a producct? It would be so positivve to do that and sit and be passive about things as everyone would make a difference. If everything was plain sailing, life would be dull.

Re: Very Disappointed with Mountain Lion
Hi, thanks for that. I've now turned quicknav off but when I use shift and down, or Shift Option left or right, nothing happens. It does work if I interact with the text, but then what if I want to select a few paragraphs? I tried selecting a line of your reply, and it wouldn't do it. Also, I don't mind the file opening rather than downloading when I VO Space, but I do mind the fact that it then refuses to select the options for a link when I press VO Shift M, and instead brings the menu up for the page. I think that is definitely a bug, and not a preference. And finally, I just entered on the Selecting Text option in VO help, and it opened Safari, and there was no page.

Re: Mountain Lion Is Awesome!
The problem with Nuance voices seems to be a lot better in Mountain Lion. When you press backspace to delete something it talks lower,, but I think this must be intentional. I've also found the Mac to be working a lot better since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I've never had a safari busy message since upgrading.

Now, the app store will launch giving you the page with updates of apps on. Go to the button that says update all and hit vo+space bar on it now a dialog should pop up asking for apple id and password. The Apple id text box is usually pre populated with your email address so go to the password field and type in your password and hit the button that says log in. Now the download should begin. If you want to know what things you will be updated, before doing the above steps, vo+right arrow a couple times until you encounter a list where the apps to be update are stored. Here you can see the new versions of the apps and if you arrow further right with vo+right arrow, you will find descriptions of what's new in this version. HTH /Krister 29 jul 2012 kl. 13:32 skrev Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com: Hi, The nuance issues are indeed fixed, keep in mind though that after installing Mountain Lion, you have to go to the program update and look for new updates. When you do, you will find a bunch of new voices amongst other things. Just update everything and you'll be good to go. All the bugs in the Swedish voice, including issues with how it pronounced certain characters when typing with typing echo set to characters or when reading character by character are gone and so are the pitch issues. Only time the voices actually change pitch is when you delete a character or when you press a character with the shift key helld down. Apple has indeed done a great job with this release. The one thing i wish for is for dictation to support scandinavian languages. I hope it will happen but i highly doubt it, just look at Siri on the IPhone which supports many languages just not Swedish, Norwegean and other scandinavian languages. /Krister 26 jul 2012 kl. 04:22 skrev Mike Arrigo n0...@charter.net: I was hoping they fixed the nuance voice issues.

I was thinking of using the Siri dictation feature to write this message, but after trying to send a message to Kimsan and seeing that it entered something that I didn't say, I figured I'd write this myself. So with that being said, I must say that Apple did a freaking awesome job with Mountain Lion. My favorite features so far have been the Siri dictation, even though it hears what it wants to hear sometimes, the ability to update more than one App in the App store, and yes, the ability to use some third party Apps that weren't accessible to us in the past. Now I can use Menuweather, the app that I complained that wasn't accessible a few months ago, and change whatever settings I need. Also, for Infovox Ivox 3 users, your voices will continue to work. You don't need to download any patches or anything. I did notice a couple of bugs though. The first one is something that this list has talked about when Lion first launched, and that is the booting up time. For me, when I came home from work and booted up my machine, I pretty much had to wait for about 2-3 minutes before Voiceover started talking. Also, in both Lion and Snow Leopard, both Adium and Skype launched right away after startup. In Mountain Lion, It takes a minute for both apps to launch. These aren't deal breakers though, just minor hinderances. As for the Nuance voices, I'm not gonna even bother using them with Voiceover if they're still making those stupid pitch changes. Why would I if I have Tracy from Acapela? Anyway, all in all, this is a fantastic upgrade, better than Lion in my opinion. I hope you all have fun with Mountain Lion, as I sure am.

Questions regarding using the Apple keyboard with the IPhone
Hello all, I am using the Apple Keyboard with the IPHone 4s and it works very well. There are however a few things I am unsure about. Firstly, selecting text: I used someone's IPad with an apple keyboard and selecting text was the same as with the Mac; you pressed VO enter, then selected your text and then VO enter again. This does not seem to work on the IPhone. Any ideas how to easily select a block of text using the Apple Keyboard on the IPHone? Secondly, I can't work out how to do a spell check. I am informed when a word is misspelt but I cannot find a list of corrections. This is the situation whether I am in a text or pages. Any ideas on that one? Thirdly and finally, I don't know how to do the equivolent of a double tap and hold. I can do a double tap but not double tap and hold on the second tap using the keyboard. Any ideas regarding that?

Normaly you press Command O to open that folder and you're then presented with the files in that folder.

Re: Facebook
I would suggest writing to Facebook but that's a whole challenge in itself. I know a lot of blind people who use the mobile Facebook site on their computers, so this is really going to frustrate a lot of people. I wonder if Facebook do it on purpose. Perhaps that will be in the sequel to that film all about the making of Facebook. We'll discover in the next film that the founder of Facebook once asked a blind girl out at school, only to be rebuffed. He then came home to find that his parents had been murdered by an evil blind man. From that day on, he swore that he would get revenge and make a social networking site that was deliberately as inaccessible for blind people as possible. Goodness knows why they didn't put this in the film; it was a bit of an oversight, but that's just typical hollywood. What is so frustrating about this is that the mobile site was so accessible. They're also doing image statuses now as well, so blind people can't see people's statuses because they're not always text. There must be a way that you can force Facebook to open the mobile site on your computer. Perhaps a Google search will yield something positive.

Re: Facebook
Hi, it says in the address bar (or whatever it's called on the Mac) that it's the mobile site, but it quite clearly isn't. Instead of getting things like notifications, messages etc we now get the stupid numbers at the top that don't announce themselves as links and don't tell you what they actually are. the first one appears to bee friend requests, so I discovered when clicking on it. I am in the UK and it's definitely not showing what used to be the mobile site, unless they've changed that too. I can't tell you when it changed because I don't really use Facebook, so this is the first time I've been on it for a while.

I haven't had more busy signals than usual with Safari in Lion. The only issues i have had is a bug in the swedish nuance voices where certain letters aren't pronounced correctly, but i was aware of that bug already before i upgraded and wanted to try Lion out despite that, and i've found a workaround for the bug, so all is well there and besides, Apple are aware of that bug and they seem to have fixed it on the IOs side, so i have good hopes that they will fix it here too, eventually. /Krister 10 nov 2011 kl. 08:31 skrev Chris Snyder: Hi all, I want to start off this post by saying that I installed Lion the day it came out on my Macbook Pro. Before doing so, I made a time machine backup of my Snow Leopard system, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. I tried Lion for a week, and found it to be terribly buggy and not nearly as intuitive to use as SL. I restored my computer back to SL, and have continued using it since. Recently, a friend of mine got a brand new iMac with Lion installed. He has been calling me asking for help understanding how to do some very simple things. using the mail program, entering a tun of contacts into his address book, and using Safari to listen to a webcast he particularly likes. While we handled mail without much difficulty, I must say that Safari and Address Book have been riddled with problems. Safari will often give us the busy signal, and the address book kicks us out of the fields and deposits us in some sort of no mans land where we must command tab back and forth to get free. He has updated to Lion 10.7.2, and yet this hasn't really fixed the issues. The nonsense with creating multiple desktops and such was a bit annoying too. I wonder if maybe simple is better some times. It's sad, but as I purchased a snow leopard full installation disc for him, I'm going to go down to his house and put SL on his machine so that he can actually have a good experience using his mac rather than the flawed and terribly buggy one he's been having. That's not to say that SL doesn't have its problems, but they are far fewer than Lion it seems. I hope that Apple will take a page from Microsoft and move quickly on to the next OS as Microsoft did from Vista to 7. I'm afraid Lion is a lemon.

Re: Lion, a lemon?
Very interesting. I'm back to using Alex as my default voice and I've not had any problems with webkit. I'll try Safari and report back. Of course this is no good for you if you're already using alex but I was using DAniel previously. I quite like alex actually, and the Voice seems to have improved in Lion; or is it just me.

Other than that, Lion has been absolutely amazing, and I'd never even think of going back to SL. Also, report it to apple, perhaps there's an issue we don't know about, instead of saying that Lion isn't as good as sl.

Before doing so, I made a time machine backup of my Snow Leopard system, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. I tried Lion for a week, and found it to be terribly buggy and not nearly as intuitive to use as SL. I restored my computer back to SL, and have continued using it since. Recently, a friend of mine got a brand new iMac with Lion installed. He has been calling me asking for help understanding how to do some very simple things. using the mail program, entering a tun of contacts into his address book, and using Safari to listen to a webcast he particularly likes. While we handled mail without much difficulty, I must say that Safari and Address Book have been riddled with problems. Safari will often give us the busy signal, and the address book kicks us out of the fields and deposits us in some sort of no mans land where we must command tab back and forth to get free. He has updated to Lion 10.7.2, and yet this hasn't really fixed the issues. The nonsense with creating multiple desktops and such was a bit annoying too. I wonder if maybe simple is better some times. It's sad, but as I purchased a snow leopard full installation disc for him, I'm going to go down to his house and put SL on his machine so that he can actually have a good experience using his mac rather than the flawed and terribly buggy one he's been having. That's not to say that SL doesn't have its problems, but they are far fewer than Lion it seems. I hope that Apple will take a page from Microsoft and move quickly on to the next OS as Microsoft did from Vista to 7. I'm afraid Lion is a lemon.

Hi, not having any problems on that site using Safari in Lion. I used to get the safari busy message all the time and then I switched from the real speak voices back to Alex and everything is fine.

Re: Question about e-mail
A conversation is exactly what we're doing right now. Basically, there are a number of people all contributing to the same mail topic. Here's how it works: find the conversation you want to read. Press enter on it or VO O to open the message. You can scroll left and right through the messages with the cursor left and right keys. The furthest right will give you the first message in that conversation and you go through the later messages in that conversation by pressing cursor left. To close the conversation press Command W.

Items chooser is totally my BFF! • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Basic item chooser question
Hi, VO F is Voice Over find. You are not doing a Google search. Pressing VO F and typing in characters allows you to find instances of those characters. So for instance, if you pressed VO F then typed Download, then enter, you would get the first instance of the word download on that page. Press VO G to find the next instance. I use this all the time to search for links, such as download and find it very useful; but if the item chooser works better for you then that's great. On 20 Oct 2011, at 19:11, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote: VO F takes me, at least, to a google search box. Were I to type Download in the first forms field VO came to after pressing VO F, I would not get the same download link, but would rather be searching for the word download, throughout the whole web. The procedures would not yield the same results at all. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: How do I download something?
Yes ignore the enter key as the first step. Follow the other steps. I only mentioned the enter thing at first because that is how my downloads folder is set up. If pressing enter yields nothing for you then you need to do the other steps to set it up so that pressing enter means you can then cursor through your downloads in order of most recent. I hope this helps. Let us know if you're still unsure. Hi Jennifer! When just sitting on the documents do not press enter first! Just start with vo+shift+m! And the rest of the instructions should be ok!

Re: Glitch with Nuance Voices In Lion Getting Worse
Real Speak daniel does it now and again, for me, but not too much. It doesn't do it with JAWs I don't think. I wonder what causes it. I'm replying to a lot of messages today because I am so impressed with how amazing Apple Mail is. Yes people, you heard me right! I am finally coming round to loving my Mac. I used to think of my Mac kind of like a young, attractive woman who I'm having an affair with. She was exciting, new and invigorating. But she doesn't do any jobs around the house, nor could I depend on her in a time of need like I could with my wife. My windows machine is my wife; she's a bit boring, she nags me a lot, but she's been long-term and she's generally dependable, if a little sluggish. So now and again I go trotting off to my fantasy woman (I.E. my Mac computer,) but I always come home when I need something from my wife, (my windows computer) because I can depend on her. Also my Mac is like a younger fantasy woman who I'm having an affair with because she is very expensive in comparison to my windows machine. Let's be honest, I had to buy my fantasy woman's love. If I didn't splash the cash she wouldn't give me the time of day. Shall we stop the metaphor there? I'm starting to get emotional. By the way, I don't have a wife, nor am I dating a young attractive woman. Nor do I get up to anything sinister with my Mac, nor with my windows machine. Well … nothing much anyway. O come on! I'm not the only one! Sorry for the long email that didn't really help. I'm just so impressed by th speed with which I can use Apple Mail and how easy it is to reply and send emails. I will not make a habit of rambling messages that don't answer the question, but if you're the kind of person who gets annoyed by that kind of thing then let me alleviate any annoyance you might be feeling by alerting you to the fact that I am using this lengthy email as a way for you to test how many times Real Speak voices fluctuate into different pitches while reading it. So yes, this email is a sort of scientific experiment. If you all press VO A to read the whole message and report back how many times our real speak voices did odd pitch changes and where they happened, then perhaps we will identify some kind of trend. I'm sure there's some of you who believe I've just made that last bit up to justify my rambling long message, but then you would say that wouldn't you. That's just the kind of person you are. Incidentaly, I just read the message back with Real Speak Daniel using VO A to read all, and it didn't do a random pitch change once. So perhaps it only happens when you cursor through things. Is anyone else finding that is true? You see, there was a point to my message after all. The End! On 16 Oct 2011, at 11:27, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: Hey guys. I don't know if any of you guys noticed but when using the Nuance voices with Voice Over in Lion 10.72, the bug with the freaky pitch changes has gotten worse. I like using Samantha a lot and it would be too bad if I had to use Alex for everything because of this bug. So I'd like to encourage everyone to get on Apple Accessibilities aces and tell them to fix this stupid bug once and for all.

Re: Trying to add my gmail account to Apple Mail in Lion
O and now all my messages in my inbox have mysteriously disappeared. I mean they've disappeared in Google Mail altogether, even if I use the web mail. I have no idea why. Apple Mail has managed to delete three years of messages. But the good news is that I have new messages showing up in Apple Mail now. I'm not sure that's much of a consolation though for deleting three years of messages, but never mind; I'm sure my computer knows best. My sent items are all present though; it's just my inbox that's been deleted. This is annoying since I'm not really interested in what I've said to other people; it's more the things that other people have said to me that's interesting.

I agree. I think the com.apple.doc.extra thing may have been resolved, but VO running at start-up seems to be hit or miss now, and I certainly can't find any other improvements that make me want to officially switch to Lion. I also noticed that Pianopub still isn't read accurately under lion while it reads great in snow leopard. In fact, the only thing I like better in lion than snow leopard is the way skype contacts are read. I have no clue what the difference is; so far as I can tell, I'm running the same version of skype under both operating systems, but it just reads slightly better under lion; none of those favorites checkboxes and stuff. Apart from that, though, I still have absolutely no desire to run lion, and will continue using Snow Leopard as long as it works and meets my needs. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Shawn Krasniuk Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 11:57 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Lion 10.72 is now available.

Speaking of Samnet, I know this is OT but, has anybody with Samnet accounts tried using the socializer with Chrome? I'm thinking of giving Chrome another chance and I'm not too happy that I can't change my screen name with Safari.

Re: Questions
I'm not seeing this with my set up. On my Macbook Pro using Lion it works fine. I plug it in to the USB port, press a cursor routing button and it works fine. well at least it works in terms of reading braille; I have had no joy writing with it. The cursor wheels also work fine for me. Go into the voiceOver utility, to the braille category, then in braille displays have a look at the settings. Perhaps change the primary braille display setting to, use all braille displays. I haven't got my Mac with me where I am at the moment, so I can't be more specific. Let me know how you get on.

Re: The continuing adventures of David eagle and his Apple Mac computer. this time it's about Sendspace.
Well everyone, I am so glad that my rant has actually managed to prove productive. So many great tips, thank you. To make a short cut to a folder on your desktop: find the file and press Command L to make an Alius. Then copy the Alius and paste it to your desktop. YOu can then delete the Alius in the folder you copied it from if you like. I am a fan of the column browser which makes searching a lot easier. I was a bit confused about Command Shift G when I first discovered it because I thought you could type the first few letters of a folder somewhere on your computer and it would find the folder. So for instance to get my Podcasts folder in iTunes I could just press podc and then enter and it would take me straight there without having to go into Music, ITunes, ITunes Media, podcasts. Now I know it's for file paths. I have used Saphari on a friends IPad and it worked brilliantly, but I wasn't uploading anything to sends pace. Thank god for my dropbox which makes sending files so much easier, when it's not full. Thanks for all the tips and for being so sympathetic towards my ranting.

Stronger words would, of course, be called for if we weren't in polite company :) As for Finder, at first I called it Loser as I couldn't use it to find a thing. Now however after about 3 weeks it seems completely fine and I can be just as efficient in it as on Win 7 / XP. I pretty much ignore the side bar. It can be useful however the key board shortcuts seem quicker to me. As someone else has said try using column view. Command+3 will get you into this view. When in this view you can navigate through folders in a standard tree structure. You need to make sure you have quick nab off. The up down arrows will take through the folders at a given level and the left and right arrows can be used to collapse and expand folders. Combine this with some keyboard shortcuts and all is good, at least in my opinion. Command+shift+C will take you to the top computer level where you can see the various drives and network. Command+shift+H will take you to your home folder, i.e., inside the users folder. Command+shift+A will take you to your Applications folder. Command+Option+L will take you into your downloads folder. I'm not sure but maybe this is supposed to be the exception that proves the rule :) Command+shift+O will take you to your documents Command+shift+D will go to your desktop. There are of course others as well. anyway I hope this helps a bit. You certainly aren't alone with your frustrations. I am still glad I have windows at work where I need to get work done. So far I haven't found Safari on the Mac as good as it is on IOS, especially on the iPad where I think it is fantastic. Then again I got my iPad 1 on the day it was first released and I have only been using OSX for a few weeks. Good luck Garth On 05/10/2011, at 6:32 AM, David Eagle wrote: Hi, here we go again.

And what really gets me about this is that the netbook cost £150 and I’m using the free screen reader NVDA. How is it possible? I really want to know. I’ve got way more am than my windows machine, and my Mac cost fifteen times more than my netbook. How come I have to keep turning off my Mac and turning on my windows machine? The mac looks great; it’s fast; it’s really quiet – very little fan noise. But it can’t do things. It’s ten times faster than my windows computer, but that only means it can do much more to annoy me in a far shorter period of time than my windows computer. I want to join the Mac party. You all seem so elated by your Macs. Is there a magic button to press that starts making it behave. I know I’m ranting again but surely you can see my point. Is my experience so anomalous? I read about all these people who say they bought a Mac and now never use windows. But if I didn’t have a windows computer then I’d achieve nothing. I know this isn’t’ VO specific. I know it may even annoy some of you. I know it’s not a particularly productive email. But if you do find this email to be annoying and unproductive, think of it as a metaphor for my general experience with the Mac. I feel as if I am the odd one out, and I am waiting for the day that I am castigated from this list for being “too PC”. O what irony. I hope you all enjoyed my hilarious ending joke. I’m so sorry for ranting. I feel like an idiot. Please, treat me like one. Tell me how I get the Mac to do the fundamental element of a computer. That is: to compute! Because I am going to end up not bothering to turn this machine on, which is such a shame because it should be a great computer? Apparently. I’m sure I’ll get there, and I promise, if I do, I’ll be singing the Mac’s praises.

On 03/10/2011, Esther mori...@mac.com wrote: Hello David, First of all, I'm not sure from your description what is going on, but one way to force the download of linked content such as mp3 files or PDF files when you are focused on the link is to press Option+Enter. (A Mac purist would call this key combination Option+Return, which is how VoiceOver identifies the key that most Windows users call the Enter key when you press it while you are in Keyboard Help mode (turned on with VO+K and terminated by pressing the Escape key; VoiceOver announces the pressed key combinations and their actions but doesn't act on the keys in this mode); on the older Mac keyboards there was both an Enter key which could be assigned different functions and a Return key). For a few oddly coded sites like the main Blind Cool Tech web site you have to first interact with the link for a podcast before you can use either VO-Shift-M to bring up the contextual menu to select your option (copy link, download linked file, etc.) or press Option+Enter to force a download of the linked file. If your linked MP3 file has started playing in the browser after you activated the link (e.g. by pressing VO-Space or pressing the up and down arrow keys together with QuickNav turned on), then you can get the file to download by pressing Command+L to highlight the URL in the address bar followed by Option+Enter to force the download of your selection. These keyboard shortcuts work generally under Mac OS X and do not depend on VoiceOver. Also, it does not matter if you keep the toolbar of your web browser hidden. Command+L will momentarily open the toolbar and highlight your current address. Then, after you press your Option+Enter, it will close the toolbar. This also works if you want to copy your current URL or go directly to the Google search field with Command+Option+F to type in search terms and press Return to execute the search, but still generally keep your toolbar hidden. The toolbar will open for your Command+L, Command+C or your Command+Option+F and entry of typed search terms, and then close again after you press Return or perform your next action. The switch between Safari busy and Safari ready happens when you're running low on system resources. In some cases this can be due to insufficient memory, but if you see this behavior associated with certain web pages it's more likely that the coding for that page is putting extra stress on your Safari browser -- either by the use of dynamically updating javascript or Flash content. Since VoiceOver uses the system memory resources, too, it's sensitive to high usage and inefficiencies. The bigger consumers are Safari and iTunes, which is why you're more likely to hear the busy message associated with Safari. This is not specific to Voiceover -- sighted users will refer to a visual cue for busy as the spinning pinwheel of death (or SPOD) associated with system lockups in the same circumstances. In general, good system maintenance helps minimize these busy messages. You can try clearing out your Safari caches periodically to free up more memory.

Re: I can't download anything all of a sudden
to download the one for your operating system). I usually look for programs that are not at the App Store by Googling for them at the MacUpdate site, which uses a standard format for brief description, download link, and information about the date and version of the latest release, along with links to the developer's web site. It also lets me read user comments and ratings about the current version. Googling OnyX Macupdate gives: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx and the description: begin quote OnyX is a multifunction utility for Mac OS X. It allows you to verify the Startup Disk and the structure of its System files, to run miscellaneous tasks of system maintenance, to configure the hidden parameters of the Finder, Dock and of some of Apple's own applications, to delete caches, to remove a certain number of files and folders that may become cumbersome and more. end quote You can also check which processes are using most of your system resources by using the Activity Monitor application in your Utilities folder (Command-Shift-U to navigate there in FInder; press a or a c to go to Activity Monitor and press Command-Down arrow to launch). You may not want to get into this unless you have unusual problems, but you can monitor memory, disk, and CPU usage, as well as quit processes. This all works with VoiceOver. Since you mention visiting the BBC web site, you might want to join the mac-access list. That mailing list is hosted out of the UK, and the list owners run their mail servers on Macs. Gordon Smith did the first extensive podcast on setting up VMWare Fusion for ACB's Main Menu several years back. While it's an international list, with several of this list's members on it, there are a number of list members who discuss using the BBC iPlayer app, and there were recent discussion of the free app Get iPlayer Automator working under Lion on that list. Since some of the content to BBC web pages is not available to users outside of the UK, you may find a better audience for your questions about the BBC web pages on that list. I think the information about subscribing to the mac-access list may be found at: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access The posts are now archived at the Mail Archive web site, and can be searched there: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/ HTH.

I know this will be sacrilege to a lot of you but I find myself having to go back to my sluggish windows machine just to get something done because the Mac breaks things randomly like this. O and now just to top it all off, real speak Daniel is sounding like he's on steroids. What the hell are you doing to me Apple? O my god and now Safari keeps saying Busy then ready then busy then ready. Why can't you make your mind up? are you busy or ready? Sorry for the rant, but I get very frustrated by the Mac sometimes, especially since it costs a lot more and seems to just do the most quirky things. And now it's making silly plopping noises at me as if I've misspelt a word; but I haven't. I might start writing some words that will cause you to make plopping noises at me Macintosh, but they won't be misspelt words; it's just your database will not have the kind of words I'll be using. I suppose on the plus side the Mac does run incredibly fast, although that generally means it has more time to fit more annoying things in to a shorter space of time. OK, I'm off to check my date and time settings in case the Mac thinks it's April the first. -- http://www.davideagle.co.uk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
