Re: Bookshare, Unarchiver, after ML
I solved the problem. It turns out that I can not unzip books downloaded previous to ML. The books I just downloaded opened just fine, opened, and transferred to the Stream like a charm.

Re: Bookshare, Unarchiver, after ML
I have been thinking of a new Stream but you are saying that read your books from your iPhone. I read a huge amount in cars on trips, in bed at night etc. I love having my little Stream but if the phone can handle it, maybe i'll do that when I get my phone.

Re: Please explain disclosure triangles
This is so super. Thank you. My son spent time with me today and helped me so much. I discovered that my biggest issue with opening files is that I did not realize how long I had to wait before the file actually opened. I tend to be impatient and my son just kept telling me to wait and let the computer do what it needs to do. So if there are impatient souls out there, waiting is good advice.He also fixed my iTunes by completely recreating it. It was very messed up. It was not me . I was beginning to think I was a moron.

Re: I got it myself, here's why I wanted it
Okay, I opened the context menu and clicked on save file in downloads. I went to my downloads folder and it saved the html page with the link on it but I still can not get it to play. My son just presses a place on the track pad and it plays. Is there a way to get the track pad to tell me where the triangle is indicates a play button? I am feeling rather frustrated.

Downloading books shortcuts?
Hi all, I download books from BARD and Bookshare to my Victer Stream. I am hoping there is a more streamline way. I go to the downloads foulder with command option L, copy the file, than press VO J to go to the sidebar, then navigate to Victer Card,then VO J again to get to the Talking Book folder, and then paste it into the folder. This works fine but it seems like I should be able to cut out some of the back and forth and up and down. Is there a way to jump directly from Downloads to the Talking book folder on the Stream? I hope this is clear. Mel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.
