Re: Itunes Match
The 25000 song limit does not count anything you purchased from the iTunes store. If you have more than 25000 songs you ripped, the method I have read about is time consuming, but effective. They suggest making a separate iTunes library and including only the tracks you really want matched. After you set it up, then go through the match process. There is an article on macworld that addresses this.

Re: Lion, a lemon?
The reality is, Safari is a problem in Lion with VoiceOver. From the technical information I have read, this is more of a Safari issue than a VoiceOver issue. However, with that said, it seems these issues vary with person to person. A clean install is a good suggestion for sure. Also, perhaps trying the nightly build of Web Kit to see if that fixes any issues. I do have the problem with the popup windows not being seen with VoiceOver and seeing to lock it up. What I do in those instances is simply hit the escape key before doing anything else. If you lose speech, command tab out of Safari and try starting the VoiceOver Quick Start with control-option-command-F8. When it starts, then hit the escape key and VoiceOver should return. Command back to Safari and quickly hit the escape key a few times and that should close the dialog box.

Re: Lion, a lemon?
The nightly builds of Web Kit are more advanced than what Safari currently uses. Note, though, these are test builds, so it isn't a silver bullet solution. In other words, the nightly build might have problems of its own once in a while. However, these things tend to be fixed pretty quickly.

Re: getting to different versions of a document
You can either go to the Versions, button after you stop navigating with the text edit area and then navigate to, All Versions and VO space on that. An easier way, though, is to select the, revert document, from the file menu and activate the Versions button in that dialog. You will have to interact with the vertical slider to see the saved version dates and once you have a date of a document, you navigate to the text area to see the actual version of the document.

Re: Questions about mac mini
I just bought a mid 2011 Mac Mini last week. I am actually going to write a blog post describing my adventures with the machine, but to answer your question, it's actually yes and no. Yes, you can run VoiceOver and work with the Mini without a monitor. This, I know Apple support people have been claiming, and on the surface, the assertion is true. However, there are some oddities and little issues you must be aware of. Note that two other people with the same model have indicated the same findings. One thing is system preference changes are not saved for some reason. Secondly, VoiceOver will not start automatically. Lastly, there is some sluggishness from time to time in Finder and Safari. If you don't want to use a monitor, there is a solution, though. When you order the mini, buy a mini VGA adaptor Apple does sell and is an option when you purchase from the Apple store. Secondly, there is a VGA to NTSC converter that can be bought http://sewelldirect.com/pc-to-tv.asp You simply connect the adaptor to the converter with one of the cables that comes with the converter. Once you do this, the Mini runs perfectly with VoiceOver and absent of a physical monitor.

Are there any apps that can turn iphone in trackpad for mac mini and support the voiceover gestures so I don't have to buy one? 3. Can one send the info to the display of an other computer or say an iphone so that my sighted husband could troubleshoot if need be and follow what I do on screen?

Re: Questions about mac mini
Yes, I just bought mine a week ago, so I don't think it is fixed. It was Chris who recommended the setup with the VGA adaptor and converter box. For me, this has fixed the issues I was having and I am happily using my Mini without a monitor. Apparently, this varies from person to person, but I now know of four others who experienced either the exact problems I did or similar ones when not using a monitor.

Re: first-time user: a bunch of basic questions
You really have to abandon your Windows mindset. I know it's difficult, and I had to really learn this point in the beginning as well to enable me to make significant progress with the Mac. I try to explain to people I train that you can't sit at the Mac expecting to do things how you did in Windows and to keep asking questions like, I did this in JAWS or Window-Eyes. How can I do the same thing on the Mac? You'll find concepts that are similar, but you have two very different aspects that you must keep firmly in mind. 1. Mac OS X is NOT aWindows of any flavor. You must learn the OS without comparing or contrasting it to Windows. 2. VoiceOver is not JAWS or Window-Eyes. You can't learn expecting them to work the same way. Trust me. An open mind and a clear mind will get you further and faster than thinking in the world of Windows.

I will definitely keep this in mind, though, and try harder to take the mac for what it is. I think I am just looking for ways of doing the same things I did in windows that made navigation easier, like dialog access keys. For instance, I am writing this on the mac in the mail app. Is there a command to send, or do I have to tab/arrow to the send buton? It is really more about efficiency, at least regarding this point, than a windows comparison.

While there are some similarities, the mac has its own way of doing things. For instance, on the web, you mainly move element by element, it doesn't navigate line by line the way windows screen readers do. You can still read an entire page by pressing control option a. The main place you find shortcut keys are in menus. They usually don't appear in dialog boxes. The more you use it, the easier it should become for you. On Aug 18, 2011, at 9:10 AM, Alex Hall wrote: Hello all, I was on here a few months ago asking some basic questions about vo. Now, I am proud to say, I have a Mac Mini sitting on the desk all shiny and new from Best Buy as of two nights ago. I can get around the basics, like system or vo settings, and I can do things like checking for updates, but beyond that I am stuck. Here, in no particular order, is my list of questions. Rest assured, more will be coming! 1. It seems that dialogs have access keys (on Windows, one might press alt-a to activate the add button, for instance), since I found that pressing s within the shutdown dialog will make the computer sleep. However, vo will not read these keys, if they exist at all, so I never know what letter will activate a button. I have found the option to use cmd+letter to move to elements starting with that letter, but that is not the same thing since developers can assign any letter to be the access key. 2. I have trouble with html content (web pages, the App Store, and so on). I can get around by arrowing from one element to another or by using the rotor, but I cannot figure out the following: a. I have enabled single-key navigation on webpages, but nothing wraps. For instance, if I am below a search edit which is the page's only input field and I press f, I am told text field not found instead of being taken to the field above me (at the top of the page). b. How can I just read the page? With jaws on Windows, I can arrow up and down on the page to read it like a document, which is great if I don't know what the page looks like or do not have a destination in mind. Arrowing in vo, though, seems impossible. Am I to read pages element by element only? If I go to a heading which is, say, an article title, how can I just arrow down to see what the article is, instead of reading the page from my current position? This is useful if there is a by line, a social network sharing frame, or other content after the heading but before the article. 3. How do I use the Finder? I have no idea what it is doing, and only found a file I was looking for by accident. Should I use Spotlight instead? What is the difference? Is there a third-party file and folder manager that people recommend? 4. From what I can gather, the left-hand menu is kind of like the system tray in Windows, with network information, sound, bluetooth, and the like. How do I access it? 5. When the mac starts, vo does not. I have to hit cmd-f5 to run it each time, and I am not sure how long to wait (I think I could wait a lot less time than I am). How can I fix this? I am running a usb keyboard, no mouse, and no monitor at the moment. 6. Can vo announce the time and date like most other screen readers? This is not a big deal to me, but it would be nice sometimes.

Re: more on Dashboard not showing
Hi Donna, When you hit F12, try opening the window chooser menu with VO F2 twice. You might not have any widgets open. You will probably need to access the widget menu and hit return on one you would like to explore. At least, this is what I am assuming.

Re: To the Moderators
As the owner of mac4theblind, just to clarify this misconception, the list is intended to be small and low traffic.

Re: for those who's macbooks are running hot, I have a sollution
I agree with Tim as well. I have a mid 2010 MBP and are not having any issues with heating. I think, however, when one is troubleshooting any issue, a lot of research and caution should be undertaken. I am one who likes to have multiple expert sources when it comes to an offered solution and the instructions on how to carry out any given task. Additionally, I prefer not to attempt anything requiring such caution until I have exhausted all other options. Thus, Tim's suggestion about using Activity monitor is surely a important place to start in trying to determine what processes might be causing a system to run hot and what may be hogging resources. Also, check the Apple forums and the various Apple related information sites, like Mac World, Mac Tidbits and other similar outlets to see if an issue is discussed and solutions are offered by multiple sources that seem to suggest the same procedures. Just my two cents, for what it's worth. I am not questioning anyone's knowledge or experience on the list, btw. I simply prefer having more than one source for any recommendation and being sure that recommendation has been utilized with success by more than a few individuals before I'll try it.

First of all, the problem at hand: I hate saying this, but after hours of research the past few days, I've determined that it's the mds server daemon that is causing the over-heating of up to 2 thousand rpm on the fan and about 85 degrees celcius, which is, by the way, over twice! gasp!

Re: voiceover, lion, and safari
I really am starting to believe that many issues people are reporting are system specific. It's just completely odd to me that folks using virtually the same kinds of systems and configurations, as well as their methods of installing Lion are having completely different experiences. I am not in the least belittling or minimizing anyone's difficulties, as I certainly can feel for them. Since I am having such a good experience in Lion, I only wish that everyone else could have similar results as I am. Thus, trying to determine, in anyway, what factors or circumstances are leading to specific kinds of problems would be a great help towards solutions.

Re: for those who's macbooks are running hot, I have a sollution
No advice is ever useless. That was not the point of my post. My point was that research and caution should be taken before anyone tries any given suggestion presented to them, and should be completely certain that the remedy offered is something that will fix the problem. If you have found what you recommended to work for you and others who have taken your advice also have found similar success, all the better for everyone. Again, I was not seeking to discredit or detract from anyone's efforts. I was just suggesting caution and patience in determine exactly what is going on with the heating issue. Spotlight surely makes sense as a cause because of the indexing done in Lion, but that also does not infer or imply it's the only cause. Verification through multiple sources with any given matter is always something that one should consider. It's just common sense.

Re: Podcasts on MacForTheBlind [was Re: Tips about using sendspace?]
Hi Esther, I think Esther did a very nice job of some impromptu public relations. Thank you kindly. *smile* Other than the audio demonstrations I recored, I have attempted to put up content that I have collected from my years on various lists, whether that be actual email messages or material I've written from the content of email messages. I always try to give the originator of any message the credit, and I have not had anyone refuse or turn me down as of yet. The link section of the site contains as many different resources as I could collect, but as with anything else on the site, any suggestions or additional material, including documentation of any kind, is gladly welcomed. If you are willing to edit or write material, I have no problems posting it. The site is all about the community and, hopefully, providing as much resource material for potential or current users of the Mac and iOS devices as I can find or that is contributed. As for the demonstrations section, Ricardo, Kevin and Sarah were kind enough to allow me to link to their individual podcast locations. Only the demonstrations I recorded are files I host on the site in that section. I have not put them into iTunes as of yet, but might do so if there are enough folks who'd like me to do so. I have some more I will be recording over the next few weeks, though the next couple of days are going to be tough for me to have time to sit down for any length of time to hammer anything out. Thanks for listening, folks. inf Take Care John Panarese jpanar...@gmail.com On Jul 27, 2011, at 3:58 PM, Esther wrote: Hi Paul, I should let John Panarese answer this, but I'll just quickly comment that John set up the web pages at: http://macfortheblind.com to aggregate some resources he found in different places to provide links in one place. For most of his content and tips, he contacts the people responsible for providing the information about whether it's OK to post this there. (I'm not aware of anyone who says, No.) But the Demonstrations page linked podcasts are not meant to replace the original web pages or podcast posting hosts. Ricardo Walker has his own feed for his Garage Band Podcasts and other podcasts, for example. Kevin Reeve's Pro Tools demo was also posted separately to the list. You could probably subscribe to the RSS feed for new content, or else set a bookmark to the site's Demonstrations page of podcasts, which is currently linked to: http://macfortheblind.com/?page_id=25 John may provide other information. But since a lot of these podcasts and resources originate from other sources and are just linked here, there is likely no separate distribution page where you automatically get all content. HTH.

Re: voiceover, lion, and safari
Did you import your settings? I'm not trying to be picky here, as I am seeking some kind of pattern from those who are having problems in Lion. I did a complete clean install and then manually put back all of my applications one by one and set up all of my mail accounts and such from scratch. I didn't migrate anything. So far, I simply am not experiencing all of the trouble others are having and I think Lion runs quicker and smoother than Snow Leopard.

Re: Voice over lag and other lion issues
I have to fully agree with Tim. A great deal of what I have read has been simply a result of changes to how people are used to doing things and not being familiar with those changes. Yes, some things work differently than they did in SL, but this does not equate to a bug in the least. I think a lot of people are just reacting to those changes and others who are trying to decide whether or not to install Lion are being effected by the fact that a lot of the list traffic is being derived from the simple reality that Lion is just 4 days old and folks have not completely gotten their heads around what Apple has changed. In all honesty, just install Lion, work with it and like Snow Leopard, or any other operating system you have used, you will adapt and get used to it. Whatever actual bugs currently exist will be fixed as time goes on. Take Care John Panarese jpanar...@gmail.com On Jul 24, 2011, at 3:07 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: Hi, I would disagree with the premise that Apple is getting sloppy as well as the comment of Lion being riddled with bugs to the point of a Beta release. Apple's commitment to accessibility is evident through the improvements and modifications to VO and the group of Beta testers involved in its Beta phase. As mentioned in previous posts, most of the issues called bugs over the last few days of posting are simply a different way of doing things. Humans, for the most part, resist change. There are some exceptions but most of us get used to doing things in a certain way and are set back when things are changed/modified. That's partially why we here so much noise about VO not being as good as JAWS by many PC users and many early switchers. I, myself, have been a VO user since its introduction in 2005 and each time the new OS is released, I struggle with some of the new ways of doing things. This isn't to say that each of my struggles are bugs in the OS implementation, they are just hurdles for me because I'm used to doing things in a different way. So, in a nutshell, I take exception to comments on Apple's sloppiness. I agree that Lion is slower in booting, but if I don't turn my Mac off that often, then what's the big deal. I agree that there is quite a number of things done differently, but, you still can teach an old dog new tricks, and I'm game for it. Just my opinion.

Re: Totally bizarre finding with Safari 5.1 in Lion
Keep in mind that Lion resembles iOS. The look and feel of Lion is intended to be like the iPhone or iPad. For example, the new view in mail is like what one finds on the iPad. So, the applications are going to start to be like those we find in the iOS environment.

Say you go to a website, and for some reason, Safari crashes, and it is not responding. This has happened to me more often with Safari than any other browser I've used. You need to force quit Safari in order to close it. The next time you open Safari, guess what, it's going to open the last page it had, which is the page that crashed, you are stuck. Unless there is a way to open Safari without opening any windows, similar to the way if you hold down the Options key while opening iTunes, you will be prompted for a library. I tried this, no luck.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
I agree with the observation that this might not have an immediate impact, but it is the long term that is the problem. Even beyond their poor accessibility record, let's face it. Over the last 10 years, most of what Microsoft touches turns to crap. They have a unique knack of simply ruining products. Until the current leadership is finally cast off, I don't foresee this changing. Is it a surprise that Ford stopped advertising the fact that their voice activation system in their cars is made by Microsoft. Does it astound anyone that Windows Phone 7 is not selling well at all?

Re: imho: the cost of Mac vs others and their solutionsWas: docuscan is available
This is not exactly true, though I fear the subject of this thread is starting to drift far astray. It is going to start getting a bit complicated if I were to explain to you the several marketing factors that make your asserted numbers very misleading. Yes, without a doubt, the share of OS X users compared to other operating systems, and that, by the way, incorporates more than just Windows users, is significantly smaller, but, again, you have to actually start to look at the numbers and break downs to see the shifts over the last 5 years alone. Also keep in mind that Apple is one company making the operating system and manufacturing the hardware. How many PC companies are out there competing against Apple and are forced to put Windows on to their systems by their agreements with Microsoft? Not to mention, how many other different operating systems, aside from OS X and Windows are often included when people start tossing around market share numbers? It gets way too complex and, again, this subject will start to drift into something far out of hand. Suffice it to say, examining overall trends worldwide over the last 5 years clearly demonstrates that Mac OS X is swiftly gaining ground as, by way of comparison, Windows is shrinking. Remember that while Apples 48 percent of laptop market share this passed year and 25 percent of desktop sales equals OS X users. Additionally, a lot of these surveys used to generate percentages does not consider the number of people who are running both Mac and Windows simultaneously in their house. And, of course, how many people are forced to use Windows at work, but use Macs at home. Then, of course, what the iPad has done and will continue to do to desktop and laptop sales figures also is a statistic that has not fully been grasped, especially when the iPad is actually running on OS X. Lastly, as a final fact that is often not addressed, one of the major differences between Apple and Microsoft in market data is how sales are counted. Apple only considers actual sales and activations by the end user in their numbers. Microsoft counts anything shipped to retail stores as sales. In other words, they don't consider how much inventory goes unsold and gathers dust on shelves, as was the case with the Zune, Windows Vista and as currently occurring with Windows Phone 7 handsets, Also, how many people take Windows off their PCs, laptops or net books after the sale to use Linux or another alternative. No matter how you slice it, the trend over the last 5 years shows that Windows use is decreasing while Mac OS X usage is growing rapidly. When Windows has owned the planet for some 15 years prior, breaking down that mammoth volume is not an immediate figure as it stands on its own. Anyway, folks, my apologies for wandering.

You say APple has not failed at all and in fact has made an absolutely significant leap in the market. THe numbers speak for themselves With respect, I think the numbers indicate that Apple is a very successful tablet and music player maker, a successful phone maker, a fairly successful hardware maker, and a failure as an operating system development company. So far as I know, Apple has yet to hit the ten percent mark in operating system usage, and is significantly below that worldwide. Even in the United States, their home territory, their operating system usage is still somewhere between ten and twenty percent, so far as I know. This indicates that, though they have improved, they are still very far behind Microsoft. The fact that a student has progressed from getting 10% on an examination to getting 35%, while creditable, does not mean he is passing the course, still less that he is doing very well. I have no financial or emotional investment in Apple or any other OS company. I am just noting what I see, and what I see is that Apple is still doing fairly badly in OS usage, even after a great deal of hype and a long period of improvement. My conclusion, based on the evidence I've put up in my other messages on this thread, is that some of this is due to their product not being as adaptable as the other OS products.

Re: imho: the cost of Mac vs others and their solutionsWas: docuscan is available
Hi Aman, Honestly, I have seen numbers that range from Apple having anywhere from 9 percent to 15 percent of the overall market. It all depends on what you read, what they use for statistical data and what they are actually including as market share. Additionally, as I mentioned and Scott pointed out, when you have all other vendors putting Windows on their systems sold or most of their systems sold up against a single company, well, it's like one guy taking on an army on his own. To me, the trends are far more telling than taking a look at a statistic that does not tell the story. It's like looking at a team that has won several championships years ago, yet have finished at the bottom of the standings for practically every season since 2001. The glories of the past are relatively meaningless in the present. I also have to disagree with you about Apple's choice not to allow others to make their hardware or install their software being a bad thing. This is exactly why OS X is so secure and why OS X runs far better than Windows. You don't have so many fingers in the pie and you don't have the aspect of compatibility issues with every upgrade. in fact, this is why iOS can be upgraded and updated so easily across devices. Take one look at what happens any time Microsoft comes out with a new OS or Android is updated on the countless types of phones that run it. You have so many issues and problems all over the place. That would simply destroy the user experience for the Mac user. It would also open the door to turn OS X into Windows as far as security and stability goes. It's funny that you say Apple targets a certain type of user. I think you are really missing the point with that notion. Again, you might not want to consider the current trends, but, obviously, the end user experience Apple is famous for out weighs the extra money folks will have to pay for an Apple product. I know MANY people who could have gone with a Dell or an HP or a Toshiba and paid far less than they did for their Mac Book Pro or iMac. These weren't certain types of users either, but, instead, college students and professionals alike. Times are a changing, my friend. That is really my point. Even the more expensive, high end Macs blow the doors off of PCs with similar specs and which are, by the way, even more expensive than Macs. I am thinking of someone right now who spent almost a thousand dollars more for a PC than a friend spent on his Mac Pro, and the Mac is a much better machine. Frankly, I never want to see Apple go the Microsoft route. I don't want to see Mac OS X turn into the nightmare Windows is. Yeah, market share would increase significantly, but I think that's going to happen on its own. As the halo effect of the iDevices continues and Microsoft continues to implode under Steve Balmer, it's only going to help Apple and Google in the long term. I don't exactly know what you mean by, adaptability, but we are already seeing that as far as WHO is using Macs and who has been switching from Windows. As a side note, I find it interesting that Windows 8 is being made to look more and more like Mac OS X. I think this fact is probably more telling than anything else. Take Care John D.

First, I do not deny that OSX has been increasing in market share for some years. I am just saying that, despite this increase, it still runs significantly behind Windows in the developed world and very significantly behind Windows worldwide. Obviously, I make no predictions about the future. Secondly, the numbers I quoted in my last message came both from data about sales and data of web usage. I also gave the numbers a wide margin of error. That is, the numbers I have read, if my memory has not gone back on me, are on the low end of the ranges I gave for them. Finally, the fact that Apple is the only seller of the operating systems is just the problem I have been talking about. If they allowed the product to be used by other manufacturers, I very probably wouldn't be complaining so loudly about lack of adaptability, and their market share might be significantly competitive.

Might be of interest for VoiceOver users of the Mac or iOS devices
Hi folks, First, an apology up front for those who might have seen this already or are seeing it twice on multiple lists. Additionally, if this violates any list policies or breaks any rules, I also apologize in advance and stand guilty of whatever rule breaking this might constitute. However, as this is VoiceOver related, I figured that I'd share. My apologies to anyone who doesn't like these kinds of announcement messages. I usually avoid making them, but in this case, I think the topic certainly fits the subject of these lists. I have started a new website that is meant to be a resource place for blind users of both the Mac and iDevices, and I wanted to invite the community to both visit it and to definitely feel free to contribute to it. Now, I'll first preface this by saying that I know there are more than a few sites out there that are about the Mac or iDevices in regard to their use by blind individuals. In fact, I have used more than a few to help me over the years in my efforts to learn how to utilize all of my Apple products. They are all done quite well, and I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the folks who maintain them. Understand that I am not intending on competing or outdoing any single one of them, and, instead, want mine to be an additional resource out there for the new, experienced or potential user. We are seeing a growing number of iPhone and iDevice users that is leading to adoption of the Mac, and with all the frequent questions that are consistently posed on the email lists, I wanted to gather material and information to address these areas in one place where people can benefit from the efforts of the community. You will see that it is done in a blog style. This is for two reasons. Firstly, I want it to be a very community driven site in which the users contribute their own information and material, and, subsequently, become a part of it by posting their comments and helping it grow. Also, from the perspective of a guy who is not, by trade, a web designer, the Word Press setup is easy to maintain and update without having to bother my webmaster every other day. I can't emphasize enough the importance of having you guys choose to help out. I have collected quite a bit of material for reading and even downloading over the years, which has also kindly been contributed with permission by various folks already. Please take a long look at the site and provide us with feedback. Yes, you will see that there are areas that are quite lacking, but this is where the community will come into play. I have put in place the foundation and structure of the site, but my goal is to have you guys provide the building blocks and material that will construct it into something more and more each passing day. So not to clutter your inbox any more, you will read in my opening few posts on the blog as to what it is we are looking for and how to contribute to our effort. Please feel free to look it all over and provide us with feedback. Let us know what we are missing, what we could do better and, most importantly, please contribute with additional information and even your questions. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated, and we hope that you guys will assist us in making it a comprehensive and diverse place for the blind Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod user.

Re: For Mac newbies doing podcasts comparing voiceover and Windows, a suggestion.
Honestly, this is really common sense advice for using any product you intend on comparing or reviewing in a podcast. I find it completely unprofessional and disgraceful when someone attempts to review or compare products when they clearly have no lengthy familiarity or knowledge of what they are reviewing or comparing. It just makes no sense. If you don't know how to use something, how do you sit there and say it can't do something that can be done with another product you are far more familiar with. You do yourself and the community as a whole a complete disservice.

Re: For Mac newbies doing podcasts comparing voiceover and Windows, a suggestion.
The other part of it is when one does put out a podcast or an article that clearly rings of lack of knowledge, it not only discredits the author/authors, but, as in the case of the AFB when VoiceOver was released, it reflects on the publication itself. People naturally assume that there is a secret agenda or some kind of ulterior motive behind the review or comparison. Whether it was intended or not, if you demonstrate a lack of knowledge or make assumptions that prove to be easily shown inaccurate, your work is diminished and your reputation takes the hit. Unfortunately, because just about anyone can do a podcast or write a blog, there is no real means of certification or method of knowing who actually understands what they are reviewing or comparing. Thus, it's up to the community to make examples of such inaccuracies and reveal them for the falsehoods they are.

A question for you gamers
Hi Folks, Sorry for the cross posting and the multiple copies of this some of you might receive. Basically, I had a conversation with a company who designs various games for the blind and low vision. They are called, 7-128 software, and in the conversation, I was told that they had stopped making games for the Mac because they didn't think there was an interest or market in that area. I explained that the emergence of VoiceOver and the growing number of blind Mac users, to me, would be the perfect situation for a gaming software company, as we have a frequent number of people asking about games for the Mac on the lists. So, I have been asked to find out if there is truly a market for games on the Mac. These games are very inexpensive with packs of 8 priced at $35 or so. To avoid cluttering the lists, I would ask that anyone who would like to comment on the subject or who would be interested in games for the Mac to please contact me off list.

Re: Creating new folder on external drive and what is a smart folder
The simplest way I have found to create a new folder is just to use command shift and the letter n on the place where you want the folder. In other words, if I want to create a new folder on my external drive in a folder called, John's Documents, I'd just have John's Documents highlighted and use the shift command n combination. I don't mess much with smart folders or smart mailboxes, but I believe you can basically set specific requirements as to what these folders or mailboxes contain.

Re: Creating new folder on external drive and what is a smart folder
This is strange. I just opened one of my external hard drives with command o from my desktop, then I immediately hit shift-command-n and got the create new folder area.

Re: Creating and Naming groups in Apple mail
Ahhh. Many thanks. Easy solution. Take Care John Panarese On Aug 8, 2010, at 12:36 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: Let me deal with your second point first. Once you get your group created, it's a snap to add members. Just like you said, you can paste from all contacts directly in to your new group. Now, let's discuss how to change the name of your group. 1. Focus on the new group the name of witch you wish to change. 2. Turn off Voice Over. Seems weird, but, that is what you do. 3. At this point, press the return key. 4. Now, just type in the new name for your group. 5. Press return again. 6. Activate Voice OVer. There you go. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Converting .mkv files into video.ts files
Hi Folks, I know little about this subject, but someone asked me if there is a VoiceOver accessible application or utility that will convert a mkv file into a video.ts file that one can then burn to a DVD disk. It seems, from my initial browsing on Google, that there are a few ways of doing it, but I have no idea if there is any particular method that works with VoiceOver. Any help would be appreciated.

Blogging and VoiceOver
Hi folks, Sorry to cross post, but I'm trying to reach as many potential helpers as possible. I was wondering about how one goes about blogging with a Mac and VoiceOver. I have been asked to be involved with a blog, and I know nothing about how to do so. If anyone could kindly write me off list to give me suggestions and some good startup help, I'd be very grateful for any assistance. Thanks John D.

Re: voiceover with braille note as display
Hi John I would have to connect mine again to be certain, but you have to be sure you click the cursor rotor that is above the first letter of the item. If this does not work, I assigned the spacebar and letter o on the display for opening applications. Take Care John Panarese On Sep 8, 2009, at 8:20 PM, John J Herzog wrote: Hi listers, I have a question about using the braille note 32 as a display with voiceover. When my friend hooked hers up, everything worked fine, but she could not open various programs from the display. According to voiceover, the routing keys above each cell were supposed to perform the default action for a given application. However, when selecting safari using the routers, voiceover just announced the letter under the cursor and did not open it. Does anybody know how to open apps from the keyboard of the braille note? Failing this, is there any way to add such a command in? I looked at the commands currently set up, but didn't see one. Thanks for the help.
