Strange problem with dashboard.
Hi everyone! recently i opened the dashboard, and looked at the widgets in their, however, when i closed them items in the dock were read out. I heard that shouldn't be the case and, was told to have a genius bar appointment however i want to try and fix this myself without going to the apple store if possible. Has anyone had this problem before? I'd appreciate any feedback because if i leave a widget in their it won't happen but if i close or remove any of the widgets, the dock is read out. Thanks. cheers gerry have a great day skype: gerry.cook1 email: gerryc...@optusnet.com.au -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: drop box
Hi mike i've noticed that the menue extras don't work like they use to and to quit dropbox, is a little more difficult, because you may have to use the trackpad, like you use to, rather than vo m twice which made it easier. I found this out last week with the 205 version. I can get in to dropbox by vo spacebar when in menu extras however, if you want to quit dropbox you may have to go in to users and groups, and login items and uncheck dropbox from your mac when it starts, up! that's how i've found it anyway.

Re: Bookmarks in Safari Not Showing
Hi I had a problem with this about 3 weeks, ago and as a last resort successfully! i pressed on the zume button in safari and never lost the particular table again, and before that i'd got that message safari busy that, you'd got as well, so maybe you could give it a try. All the best. cheers gerry have a great day skype: gerry.cook1 email: gerryc...@optusnet.com.au On 14/02/2012, at 4:13 AM, Esther wrote: Hi Brandon, Scott Howell posted a solution for this a few weeks ago in response to a question from Mary Otten. I'll paste it in below. I haven't encountered this problem yet myself, but I would guess that it's specific to Safari 5.1 or Lion, or the combination. Another thing that it occurs to me to try is quitting Safari, then using Finder to go to the ~/Library/Preferences folder under your account using the Command-Shift-G Go to folder shortcut, and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file. Relaunching Safari should go back to the default new configuration. Scott's post: Mary, THis is a strange one, but here is the solution. SInce you already can get to the table with the bookmarks etc. I won't cover that. So, once you have selected the set of bookmarks from the table: 1. Navigate past the vertical splitter and the search field. 2. When you encounter the horizontal splitter interact with it and navigate to the right. THe idea is to hear it say Zero percent. At this point Safari may go busy on you and my advice is to simply toggle VO off/on and that should resolve the problem. Then you should be able to find the table with the individual bookmarks. Unfortunately I have not found a way to keep the table expanded, so you have to use this method until someone can figure out how to fix the issue. :) Of course put a bug in Apple's ear at accessibil...@apple.com, so they know this is really annoying.

solution to unzipping multipart files
Hi everyone, I found a solution, to the unzipping multipart files by trying stuffit from the app store, that an apple store person put me on to. when you find the file, you want to unzip, you, vo shift m on the file you want to unzip, then open with and use the choice stuffit and it anounces the decompressed file in folder form, after a few secs, there's a progress indicator too, and it seems to be accessible. I was told it only worked, with rar files but it, seems it works with most files. when installed click on the don't register button, and your good to go.

Re: Lion clean install
Hi shen say if you purchase a new macbook pro from an apple store and they want to update from snow lepard would i encourage them to do a clean install? because i plan to get in to it in the next few weeks? I like the fact, i can use, a macc straight out of the box with a reasonably good clear voice, when i was at my brothers last sunday, he had a 17 inch macbook pro and i was experimenting a bit. cheers gerry skype gerry.cook1 - Original Message - From: Shen goalb...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 4:11 PM Subject: Lion clean install Hello, So I decided to take the plunge today and do a clean installation of Lion. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to install Lion. In fact, it was so easy the whole process took less than an hour. VoiceOver spoke to me the entire time. So far, I've been using it for about 2 hours. I do feel that a clean installation of Lion does make it run a bit more smoothly. I don't think it's faster, but just more smooth. There are 3 small anomalies that I thought were a bit odd. First, during the installation process, it asked me to set the time zone. This was normal. But what was not normal was the fact that it has my city preselected. I just have to click continue. Second, after installation, I just assumed I need to setup my Bluetooth keyboard to work. No, it is already connected and working. How's this possible? I'm quite certain I had erased the hard drive and did a clean installation. It's interesting that of all the settings I had, it remembered the time zone and my Bluetooth keyboard. Why not my VoiceOver settings, or Finder settings? The third thing is probably more of a problem with Lion. When making certain changes in System Preferences, you have to click the Lock button to allow you to make changes. When you do this, another dialog window pops up asking you to authenticate the administrator account. For some reason, when this window pops up, VoiceOver will say that the authentication windows is busy and it will stay busy for at least 30 seconds, maybe an entire minute. I find this very bizarre. Finally, when it is ready, I can type my user name and password. Anyways, over all, it has been a pleasant surprise so far. Except for the last 5 minutes. As I was typing this email, Mail quit unexpectedly. I've never seen this happen before. But then, when I reopened Mail, what a surprise, it saved a draft of my email so I didn't lose anything. For those who are having lots of issues with Lion, especially when the user experience is not as good or better than Snow Leopard, I recommend considering a clean install. It is so easy to install. For iTunes, I just copied the music folder to an external drive. After installing Lion, I copied it back and my entire library is there. Can't get any easier than that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

There are 3 small anomalies that I thought were a bit odd. First, during the installation process, it asked me to set the time zone. This was normal. But what was not normal was the fact that it has my city preselected. I just have to click continue. Second, after installation, I just assumed I need to setup my Bluetooth keyboard to work. No, it is already connected and working. How's this possible? I'm quite certain I had erased the hard drive and did a clean installation. It's interesting that of all the settings I had, it remembered the time zone and my Bluetooth keyboard. Why not my VoiceOver settings, or Finder settings? The third thing is probably more of a problem with Lion. When making certain changes in System Preferences, you have to click the Lock button to allow you to make changes. When you do this, another dialog window pops up asking you to authenticate the administrator account. For some reason, when this window pops up, VoiceOver will say that the authentication windows is busy and it will stay busy for at least 30 seconds, maybe an entire minute. I find this very bizarre. Finally, when it is ready, I can type my user name and password. Anyways, over all, it has been a pleasant surprise so far. Except for the last 5 minutes. As I was typing this email, Mail quit unexpectedly. I've never seen this happen before. But then, when I reopened Mail, what a surprise, it saved a draft of my email so I didn't lose anything. For those who are having lots of issues with Lion, especially when the user experience is not as good or better than Snow Leopard, I recommend considering a clean install. It is so easy to install. For iTunes, I just copied the music folder to an external drive. After installing Lion, I copied it back and my entire library is there. Can't get any easier than that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: iPhone keypad question?
I just wonder if you've got your phone in touch typing mode instead of standard typing, because, in standard, typing you have to put your finger on the letter, tap once more to confirm the letter where as you lift your finger off in touch, typing once you find the letter. but i may be wrong I hope its close to the mark. cheers gerry skype gerry.cook1 - Original Message - From: Maurice Mines maurice.mi...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 3:02 AM Subject: iPhone keypad question? Hello list, when I first got my phone when typing I was able to double top of each letter in order to accomplish typing a letter. Now all it seemed that the single tab accomplishes this, much sooner than I intended to. I have some cerebral palsy, so I would very much appreciate being able to go back to the double tap method. As it would allow me to type the letters I want, instead of the letters that I'm trying to avoid. It makes typing a very frustrating experience. Other any suggestions in order to go back to the double tap method? Hope everyone on the list is having a great day. Now back to trying to get some schoolwork done of course on my Mac.

When using voiceover, the function keys are often employed to perform software related tasks. Therefore, it is recommended that VO users change the setting to have them do Software by default. This way, you might only require to use your FN key at the bottom of the keyboard for things like volume, Pageup, pagedown, end and home. The setting to make the f-keys perform software functions is in your apple menu, (ccl-option-m), under system preferences. Select hardware, keyboard, and keyboard again, and check the box that says, use all f1, f2, etc. keys as standard function keys... Hth Carolyn ...
