Re: Flash content, who do we contact?
I agree. I'm getting annoyed with the lack of flash. I once emailed apple and asked about the inaccessability of live journal voice posts, which use flash, and they told me to contact adobe.

Re: clean install or upgrade?
I plan to do a clean install also and plan to record it too. I'm not sure if I'll spread it around, I guess it depends on how well I feel it goes, lol. this is my first time ever installing an OS on any platform though, so I thought it should be recorded haha. can someone explain the steps for doing a "clean install?" I'm sure it's been discussed to death but I've been away at my cabin and had about 2000 messages in my inbox so didn't pay much attention as I rapidly deleted, lol. I assume a clean install means deleting leopard and all other data? which would of course mean backing up first...I can't use time machine cuz it won't work with my external drive without me deleting everything off it and I'm so not doing that, so I plan to just copy and paste all my data and stuff over. I guess I'll lose my emails, but maybe there's some way other than time machine of archiving them before I do this? and now I'll stop rambling, I'm sure I'm not making much sense. it's time for bed and book for me. but I just wanna make sure I have all the steps in place for when the big moment comes!!! I'm pretty excited about it!!

I've been a mac user for a little over a year though and am so glad you made the jump! the mac really is awesome and accessible!! I haven't upgraded to snow leopard yet, waiting for that stray kitty to arrive on my doorstep lol. but when it does, you can bet it'll be here to stay!! I can't wait to enjoy all the new accessibility features!! take care and keep enjoying your mac! and don't be shy, the list is for asking questions!! Jessi and Goldina On 29-Aug-09, at 10:54 AM, M.

gmail and sl? and importing addressbook contacts?
hey guys!! this is the first real email i've sent using sl that wasn't a test, lol. yay! installation went well, I recorded my adventures if anyone wants to hear, lol. I'm really happy over all, the new web stuff loos great! it's much more snappy! but gmail isn't working so hot. I set it up with all the settings suggested on gmail's website. I've tried both pop and imap. I've removed and re-added the accounts several times. all the settings are as they should be. right now I have it set as imap, and one of my two gmail accounts downloads messages fine, which is the one this list uses, but my one I use for personal emails doesn't receive at all. and when this list mail one downloads, it seems to download several copies of the same message. I really wish I could use pop, I'm more familiar with it, but it didn't work at all. so I ran out of ideas! pop seems to be broken in mail 4.0 and sl unless anyone has any suggestions for making it work properly?I'd just really like to be able to recrive and send messages from both my accounts like I could before. has anyone had any of these problems and gotten gmail to work successfully? also, before Installed sl, I copied my user folder from leopard onto my external hard drive so I'd be able to do a clean install. turns out I wasn't able to copy it back cuz the drive was formatted for windows, I used it with my old windows computers before I switched. I didn't know this would be an issue, but I got around it by copying my documents and downloads folders, where most of my data was stored, to the new user account in sl. but how do I get my addresses back? thanks for all your help. these few little things are making sl a little bit of a less enjoyable experience.

getting old addressbook contacts back?
hey guys I know I asked this last night with my gmail message, but I'm not sure if that message went through and now my gmail issues seem to be fixed knock on wood!! so my next issue, I'm trying to get all my addressbook contacts back. before I installed SL I copied my old leopard user folder to my external drive thinking I'd just be able to import it all back in during the SL setup process. unfortunately I couldn't do this cuz the drive was formatted for windows, and I didn't know that would make a difference but clearly it did. so I got around it by just copying all my data over into the correct folders in the new user folder on sl. but now I wanna get my old addressbook contacts back. I'd like to get my old emails back too, but I'll start with addressbook contacts. how would I go about doing this? I assume it's possible, cuz if you can get stuff off a pc onto a mac then you must be able to import stuff from a drive that's formatted for windows. thanks.

Re: male in snowleopard and gmail
I was definitely having major gmail issues when I first installed SL and I tried so many things that I'm not sure how they finally got fixed, lol. my issues were that I could send mail fine, but I'd set up my two accounts in mail and one would receive and the other wouldn't. I think what I ended up doing that fixed it was I deleted the "mail" folder out of my library and then reloaded mail, and it looked like I'd never launched it before. then I put both accounts back in and made sure all the settings and port numbers were correct and they eventually worked. it was quite a process though!! I hope you can get yours fixed!! Jessi and Goldina On 2009-09-04, at 8:11 AM, matthew Campbell wrote: > > Hi list I'm now running snowleopard and I've just upgraded my > accounts.

no longer able to find search results with mobile facebook?
hey guys I'm not sure if this is a facebook change or an sl change, but I just tried to search for and add a friend on facebook with the mobile site. it said it showed two search results, but wouldn't let me see them. so I went to the regular facebook site and did the same search and was this time able to find my friend when I clicked add as friend link, voiceover didn't do anything though. I tried several times and still nothing. I hope I didn't just try to add them a bunch of times, I'll feel real silly then lol!! but has something changed on the mobiel site where you can no longer actually see our search results or is this a bug in SL accessibility? thanks Jessi and Goldina --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

itunes busy when skipping through songs?
hey guys noticed a little thing with iTunes nine. when I try to skip quickly through my library, iTunes seems to be busy for a few seconds before skipping through to the next song. it's not a huge deal, but kind of annoying when skipping through songs! anyone else notice this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

previewing songs in the itunes store?
hey guys another itunes nine bug, they seem to have broken the ability to preview songs in the store!! there's an image there if you look down the store page, it's before each song and it says preview, but if you VO space on it or interact with it and then VO space or press enter, nothing seems to work to activate those! so I'm not sure how you'd go about previewing something!! anyone else noticing this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

sharing itunes on twitter and facebook?
is this new feature in itunes nine accessible? I was talking to someone tonight who uses a pc with itunes, and they were playing with the store and jaws was speaking links to share findings on the store on twitter and facebook. I didn't see this option on the mac side, but I assume it's there somewhere? on the pc version it was on the main store page with the albums, but is it somewhere else on the mac version? or do we not have access to it?it just looks like a cool feature. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: so slow
I find voiceover to be a tad bit more sluggish when arrowing through when quicknav is on, but maybe that's just cuz my mac only has a gig of ram. I'm not sure why quicknav would make a difference, and really it's only like a milisecond slower, but I notice it. other than that I don't find it slow.

Re: VoiceOver on the Nano: TTS or not?
yeah, I heard that rumour about the duel core processors too. I'd wait! as much as I want an iPhone, I'm thinking I'll just wait til next year's WWDC and see what the next one has to offer. if it has a duel core processor, that means it might possibly be able to run Alex? maybe? and that would be sweet!! I don't plan to upgrade my nano to a new one...it would be nice to play with the new one and the video camera and recording options and full voiceover would be nice, but my old one works well. I'd love to play with the new ones though!!

timezone weirdness
hey guys when I first installed SL, I was able to change the time to PST and pick the city I lived in and it was all good. I changed the checkbox so it would change time time zone automaticly figuring if I were to travel somewhere that might be nice. recently I've moved back to vancouver island where I go to school. it's in the same time zone, still PST, but for some reason the mac thinks I'm on eastern time in sunrise, Florida! I live miles and miles away from Florida, lol. I manually set the time back to the correct time in pst, but all my emails and stuff still show up as if they're coming in on EST and if I go into the time preferences, it still shows my city as sunrise, fl and my timezone as EST and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it. anyone else's timezones just take on a mind of their own and decide you live somewhere on a completely different coast than you actually do? lol. is there a way to change it? I unchecked the checkbox about automaticly changing time based on your location but it still doesn't show anywhere close to my area on the little time map!! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: garbage in address book
thanks. I'm not actually trying to get them off a pc itself, just a windows formatted drive. when mail automaticly adds an address so it autofills when you type, does it add it to addressbook or to somewhere within mail? cuz I found a few of my old contacts, I guess ones I manually added myself, but not ones mail auto-added. I think those ones might just be missing forever, but I hope not!!

Re: VO+f8 doesn't work after upgrade to SnowLeopard
hey, you have to go into system preferences and then select keyboard. then there's a checkbox that says "use all f1, f2 etc as standard function keys" or something to that effect, make sure that checkbox is checked. then you'll be able to use your VO f8 as you normally would.

podcasts on your iPod?
hey guys do any of you use your iPod to listen to podcasts?

audio books in mp3 format?
hey guys I have an audio book in mp3 format that someone sent me. I imported it into iTunes and it shows up with all my other music. is there a way to put it with my other audio books? all the ones I get from audible show up in the audio books playlist and I want this one to show up there too. also, is there a way to have my mac and iPod remember my place in the book like it does with the audible ones? thanks.

Re: copying a CD
hi Anna, when you put your cd in the drive, iTunes should come up and ask if you want to import it. you just VO space over to the import button and click it and it'll start doing it. it works really well. I'm not sure how to do it if you wanna put it in any program other than iTunes.

Re: USB drive not showing up
oh, weird!! I dunno then!

reordering songs in iTunes?
hey guys so I have this awesome playlist of positive songs that I've been working on for the past forever or so, lol. I keep adding to it and it's quite amazing if I do say so myself, lol. but I wanna change the order of the songs. right now they're just in whatever order iTunes decides they should go in. is there a way to change it? I'd think going into the get info dialog and numbering them might work, but is there a faster way than that? maybe like command arrowing like you do to move things around the dock? thanks Jessi and Goldina --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

updating facebook status from the full site?
hey guys back with another question. I use the mobile facebook site all the time but thought I'd check out the full site again since I haven't used it in awhile. it seems okay, a bit cluttered definitely but usable except there doesn't seem to be a way to update your status? there's no edit field. VO just says list, and you can't interact with it or anything. is it not possible to update your status from the main site? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Abbyy FineReader works well
hey Anne, is there a list somewhere of scanners that work directly with finereader? or does anyone have suggestions for ones that do? I'm probably on the market for a new one anyway. would be really great if I could get one of those scanner/coppier/printer combos since my printer, as great as it is, isn't mac compatible. do those work with finereader?

Re: Abbyy FineReader works well

Re: Bak on an Apple Again
enjoy your mac!! you'll love it!! and I completely agree. if there's a mainstream solution, people should use that. these note takers and screenreaders are okay if there's no other solution, but people already see blind people as bad different as it is and it seems to me like people don't take the time to understand what they don't know about. everyone knows about apple computers and computers in general, and I think the more sighted people see us using regular technology the better. I just love when I'm sitting somewhere in public with my mac and people ask me how I use it! On 2009-12-05, at 1:06 PM, Matt Roberts wrote: > I just got my Mac a couple of days ago.

Re: vo driving me crazy.
hey Maurice, to fix it so VO doesn't give so many instructions 1. go to VO preferences with VO f8 2. interact with the categories table and navigate to verbosity. 3. stop interacting with the table and VO right arrow over until you see the "hints" tab. select that. 4. uncheck the box that says speak instructions for using the item in the voiceover cursor. 5. close preferences and you should be good. hth Jessi On 2010-01-21, at 8:58 PM, Charlie Doremus wrote: > Can anyone translate the message from Maurice ham call kd0iko into English?

dvd player refusing to play dvd's?
hey guys the cd/dvd drive on my macbook has been doing some weird things lately. it'll play most cds and dvd's, but it's iffy on my glee road to sectionals box set. there are four dvd's in the set, the first 13 episodes of the show. sometimes they'll work, but most of the time they just spin and stop and spin and stop and finally the dvd player spits them out. they're not mounted to the finder and the mac doesn't seem to have any recognission that they're inserted except for the spinning and stopping before spitting out. I've tried cleaning the dvd's and it doesn't make a difference. does anyone know why it might be doing this? I hope there's nothing wrong with the drive! but I don't think so, cuz it works with other cd's! and sometimes with the glee ones too, just not all the time! it seems to have a mind of its own about when it wants to work! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Power issue on macbook
mine's done this a few times too but I'm not really worried. it usually happens when I'm doing something quickly like arrowing through to check the time. it's like voiceover says whoa, you're going way too fast and I'm really confused so I'll just pop, lol. leaving it for a few seconds and then restarting voiceover usually does the trick. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 30-Apr-09, at 6:45 PM, rayna424 wrote: > > I probably need to take it in to the Apple store but wonder if any of > you have experienced this.

Re: Power issue on macbook
you restart voiceover with command f5. command f5 once to turn it off, then again to turn it back on. you might have to fiddle with it a few times, but eventually it will come back. you shouldn't have to restart your macbook. I'm not sure if the whole computer freezes when this happens or if it's just a voiceover thing but turning voiceover off and then back on again should definitely fix it. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 30-Apr-09, at 7:57 PM, rayna424 wrote: > > Oh yes it happens just the way you describe, when I'm going really > fast. > > How do you restart VO?

strange behavior
hey guys, just hmmming over some things this morning lol. when I got up this morning and was looking at my twitter messages, just arrowing through them in twitteriffic, voiceover crashed! I think it was still running, cuz when I took focus away it made the little clicking sound, but when I command f5'd to turn it off and back on again, it wouldn't come back!! I had to restart!!! it's done it twice today!! I just got through repairing disc permissions, so we'll see if that does anything, but does anyone else's do this? the speech just randomly stops out of nowhere but it seems as if voiceover is still running? and then a lot of my apps seem to be running slowly. mostly twitteriffic, itunes and ijournal, but I'm thinking maybe that's just cuz they all need time to connect to the internet before they can be used? so maybe that's nothing. but my machine does seem a bit more sluggish than usual. poor thing. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

issue with mail and new safari 4 beta
hey guys I'm back on my mac, yay yay and more yay!!! thank goodness, lol when I booted it up after not for a week, the new safari 4 beta was there to greet me in the software update. how lovely!! so I installed it. now, I seem to be having a problem with mail. I'll be reading my messages, but after awhile when I VO J on a message, VO just says scroll area and it won't let me read the message. I can't interact with it or anything. if I VO J again it'll bring me back into the messages table, but it won't let me read any other messages. the only way I can get this to stop is to quit mail and reopen it again, and that's very inconvenient!!! has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you go about fixing it? is it a bug with the new safari 4 beta? cuz it only happened after I installed that!!! thanks. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: wonderful news about apple care
haha OMG I totally do that too!! cheer when the mac adds come on. and I'm always defending my mac against pc people lol!!! I totally agree with everything you just said!!! yes!!! lol. my dad calls me a computer snob. I haven't quite figured out if he's kidding or not lol. maybe half and half? he claims that pc's "just work." and I laugh because it's been a long time since I've seen a pc "just work!" they always need updates and fixes and virus updates and ugh...gives me a headache just thinking about those days. I'm not clueless, I know there are viruses for the mac, but they're so few and far between!! it's so nice to not have to worry!! and yes, the mac has a few lil quirks too, mostly where voiceover and safari are concerned, and I really really wish it would play nicer with flash and firefox, but I'm sure those things will come in time.

Re: very nice experience at University Village Apple Store in Seattle Washington
hey, Ben, this is good news!!! I love when I hear good stories about apple employees not only knowing what voiceover is, but wanting to help improve it!!! I've never even been to the apple store here in vancouver, canada, I know...sad!! lol. I need to find a way over there. but when I do I'll definitely tell how it was!!! your suggestions were good, too!! I definitely would've said firefox. IPhone is good, maybe the more they hear it the more they'll consider it? although when I talked to the firefox people at CSUN this year they assured me making it accessible with voiceover was a "priority." maybe they were just saying that to make me go away? or maybe it takes time and I'm impatient lol. I think flash is another big one, although it seems like adobe and apple aren't willing to budge on that one and they keep blaming the other, so we'll see if that ever happens. I hope so though, since flash is such a huge part of the internet these days!!! but congrats on a great apple store experience, apple is truly a one of a kind organization!! yay!! peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 27-May-09, at 10:37 PM, Ben King wrote: > > Dear Mac Friends, > > I am writing you to let you know about an experience I had today at > the University Village Apple Store in Seattle Washington.

Re: very nice experience at University Village Apple Store in Seattle Washington
agreed, Arthur, lol. if you're gonna take that approach about the iphone and firefox and their various addons and apps why don't you just say that about voiceover as a whole? what it seems like you're saying is let's not make the iphone accessible cuz none of the apps will be. well then, let's not make the mac accessible because of all those apps that aren't made by apple that may not be. that seems like a silly approach. I'm sure there will be plenty of iphone apps that will be accessible. as the word about accessibility grows, app developers will most likely strive to make their products accessible. they've done so on the mac, so I don't see why they wouldn't on the iphone. I'm sure apple will do it, it's only a matter of time. let's not be all negative and try and shoot down something that could benefit us. the iphone will still be the iphone whether it's accessible or not. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 28-May-09, at 12:23 PM, arthur gindin wrote: > > spamming hardly befits a "distinguished" person > > Sean Tikkun wrote: >> Can folks on this board help me out here?

Re: very nice experience at University Village Apple Store in Seattle Washington
yeah, in deed. and I'm sure safari's bugs will all get worked out in time too. the only reason i really want firefox is so I can use webvisum. although, there's that solona captcha solving service, so maybe webvisum isn't even needed. still, it would be nice if firefox was accessible and I hope they take it seriously and do it. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 28-May-09, at 2:08 PM, gene wrote: > > Hi yeah I hope that mozilla will make firefox accessible I mean it's > accessible with jaws and window eyes for windows so I curtainlly > don't see > why they wouldn't make it work with voice over.

Re: very nice experience at University Village Apple Store in Seattle Washington
I don't think you're wrong. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. like someone else said it seemed people were freaking out when the GUI interface came to computers and people found ways to make it accessible to us so I'm sure the same will be done for touch screens in time. I can't think of how it might be done, but there are people with more genius minds than mine lol! something can always be done!! peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 29-May-09, at 2:47 AM, Vicki Manley wrote: > > Hmmm, > I guess you could beright too. > Maybe i wasn't wrong. > I've seen so many people with iphones and have always wanted it to be > made speech accessible. > Best wishes, > Vicki. > On 28 May 2009, at 20:34, Jessi and Goldina wrote: > >> >> agreed, Arthur, lol. >> if you're gonna take that approach about the iphone and firefox and >> their various addons and apps why don't you just say that about >> voiceover as a whole? what it seems like you're saying is let's not >> make the iphone accessible cuz none of the apps will be. well then, >> let's not make the mac accessible because of all those apps that >> aren't made by apple that may not be. that seems like a silly >> approach.

Re: Refreshable Braille displays
oh man I'm always disabling that highlight line!! makes reading s hard!! I wish it would remember not to display that, lol. I find also sometimes if I'm reading a long email or something, I'll only be able to read so far into it with the braille display before it won't display anything else new. then I have to reinteract with it and then I'm able to read the whole thing. I don't use my braille display all the time, but I like reading personal emails with it. for some reason it makes them even more enjoyable lol. and sometimes I'll just mute Alex and use the braille display for everything for awhile. then I can listen to music at whater volume I want, lol. yay for braille displays and their awesomeness!!! peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 2-Jun-09, at 11:41 PM, James Dietz wrote: > > Aside from a few issues (mainly VO's inability to remember braille > settings across multiple sessions - like whether or not to display > that obnoxious highlight line) braille is quite effective and neat. > Some things aren't intuitive - I can't click on a member of a group > in while browsing a webpage (in group mode of course) with one of the > routing buttons until I actually interact with that group.

Re: voice over comes to the I phone
I agree with Dan. I think more apps will be accessible in time. now that people are finding out about voiceover on the IPhone, just like on the mac, they'll start writing apps with accessibility in mind. and who knows, maybe some apps are accessible already just cuz of how they're written? I wanna be able to have my IPhone listen to a song and tell me what song it is!!! lol. that sounds uber cool On 9-Jun-09, at 1:17 AM, ben mustill-rose wrote: > > An interestng artical: > http://twittermail.com/tweet/MzAxMTUzOA > > John brings up a valid point here when he states that apple are > implying that most of the apps from the app store won't work. > First of all, don't get me wrong, I think this is a wonderfull step > forward in accessabilitty of touch devices, but the apps are pretty > much what makes the i phone the i phone. > I know I sound like a spoilt kid, but I want to be able to wave my > phone around to the sounds of a light saber and to be able to mimick a > wind instrument by blowing into the phone.

Re: voice over comes to the I phone
yeah I know. exactly. although the e71 is pretty sleak too. I'm really curious to see how the touch screen will work! that's another reason why I want it. I'm a cutting edge kinda girl lol. I wanna be one of the first blind people to pull out my iphone and use a touch screen device!!! it'll be one of those "how do they do it?" moments lol. I'm just so excited about where this is going! I wanna jump in! but I do love my e71 and I just got it in january with a talks upgrade!! so I dunno how I'd get an IPhone. although I'm on the right carrier that has them, so hmmm.
