Time Capsule Software Compatibility
Hi All, I have a MacBook Pro and a couple of Pcs one running Windows 7 and the other system running Vista. How well does the software that comes with time capsule work with Voiceover for the mac and Pcs with Jaws? Could I backup my Pcs to the system?

Reinstalling Snow Leopard
Hi. I think as a beginner I have gotten snow leopard's settings out of whack. My track pad gestures do not work well anymore and I am unable to get into the menu to determine the battery level and time. Is there a way to reinstall Snow Leopard without overwriting files such as my Vmware image and Itunes library?

Windows 7 Image
Hi All, I wish to copy my Windows 7 virtual file that I have under Fusion 3.0 to another hard drive.Where does Fusion store this file? After looking through lots of files and folders, I haven't found it. Could the file be hidden?

RE: Installing Windows 7 With VmWare
Have you installed any version of Windows under Fusion 3? Wonder if I could install Windows 7 under Fusion 2.0? I'll go pick up my MacBook Monday.

Simply launch a new virtual machine window, select easy install, point to the disk image or CDR and you're good to go. It'll automate it, and it works really well. I've done it with both 32 and 64-bit versions and it's been flawless. Of course, Narrator seems to die on me after a couple of keystrokes, but I managed to do it without Narrator when I had to get JAWS back online.

RE: slight accessibility issue with fusion 3
Hi John and List, I think this is some of my problem. After the Dvd drive became inactive when trying to install Windows 7, "windows running" as well as shutdown and restart was in the virtual machine menu. How do I highlight the virtual machine window? Is that the window where all the settings for sharing the hard disk and other devices are located? Would I have been more successful had I installed Windows 7 under Fusion 2.0 which is what came in the cd version of the software and then upgraded my Fusion to version 3.0? Has anyone installed any windows under 3.0 yet? Debra -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of John J Herzog Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 5:32 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: slight accessibility issue with fusion 3 Hi listers, Having just acquired fusion 3, I thought I would pass my experiences along with voiceover. For the most part, everything remains accessible. However, when running and using your virtual machine, there is no longer a scroll area. Thus, you cannot VO to the area and start using the keyboard to control the VM. Instead, it is necessary to highlight the virtual machine window, turn voiceover off, and hit command plus G to direct input to the virtual machine. After this, turn voiceover back on, and everything works as expected. Note: I seem to have a similar problem even when running win XP in full screen mode. Voiceover does not seem to yield keyboard control initially to the virtual machine. To fix this, turn VO off when you highlight your virtual machine window for the first time. Next, turn it on again, and everything works from there on out. Note: You can even command tab to other applications, and when you come back, the keyboard will control your virtual machine as expected. Kind of quirky, but it works just fine and seems to be a bit faster than version 2 as well.

The drive is formatted as Fat 32. It contains about 200Gb of material mostly textbooks, music and podcasts. Thanks for the encouragement.

Which MacBook To Buy?
I have been looking at Macbook Pro models and Macbooks. The MacBook pro is about $200 or higher in price than the Macbook. I have been looking at the 13.3 inch model with the 2.5 ghz speed processor.It seems the Macbook pro is lighter weighing only 4.5 pounds. Are their other differences between the two? Can I use the track pad with VoiceOver? Also are these 64 bit or 32 bit machines? I would really like to buy the right model the first time! Thanks for any advice.
