Mail and spell check
All, I had my built inn Mail program set to auto spell check when I pressed send, this has worked floorlessly for years. When updating to the latest itteration of OSx this has now stopped working, when pressing send my messages just fly out the door having not been checked, sometimes I do hear Voice Over announce the spelling dialgue box, but, this does not interact with the box, and, the message disappears out of the machine. I have tried checking the setting, it is still set to check when pressing send, I have toggled it to see if that shall fix it, no luck. Is this being experiened by other users, or, not? Is it Voice Over or OSx in the mainstream to! Any input welcomed.

Re: Backup Strategies
I like these, however, you've missed cloud solutions such as Carbonite, who I especially like. They are fully automated, need no baby sitting, and, are both off site and continuous. Carbonite also allows for versioning, so if like me, once upon a time you saved over the top of hours worth of work, no problem, Carbonite keeps versions of all files you create for up to, I believe three months.

Mail in Mavericks
Hi All, Two quick questions; Has anyone noticed that the sound played when you press “send” is no longer as audible as it used to be, I’ve looked in Sound Settings within System Preferences and sound effects are set to 100%, yet the audible volume of the aeroplane taking off is notably quieter, if not all most impossible to hear. Also, how do I now get to attachments, either for quick view or to save them? They used to be in the Tool Bar, however, appear to have moved? Many thanks.

Re: For 5S users
Kawal, Some handy pointers on the finger print reader: Firstly, I strongly recommend you add several fingers to use with the sensor, ones of course that you would typically use to actually press the unlock key are good choices. When you teach the device your finger print remember these two handy tips. Firstly, adjust the orientation of your finger each time you get a positive scan, indicated by a short vibration of the device. For me, I changed the position and orientation of my finger each time it scanned and moved orientation between probably up to 270 degrees or so, meaning that the reader had a good range of samples to get a good overall reading on. Next, be sure to scan your actual finger print, and not the tip of your finger itself. It is tempting to jab at the unlock key, effectively pressing it with more or less the end of your finger, but, this is not your finger print. Try when the phone is scanning your finger to lay your finger out flat, with the nail and tip of your finger pointing towards the top of the device for each scan. This I found dramatically changed the effectiveness of my readers performance. Finally, the reader seems to have a great deal of trouble if you have even slightly damp hands, or, have recently washed your hands and dried them, presumably this is as the drying process has smoothed out your print. I also noted that when I use an alcohol based gel to clean my hands that this destroyed my print for almost a day and the phone would not recognise my prints for almost 24 hours afterwards, however, it did settle down again afterwards.

Re: Apple App Store & Refunds for inaccessible Apps
I did, they told me they could only really help with technical support matters and not iTunes or App Store purchases. All a little worrying really, I'd have expected a more proactive response, not quite so, its not my job, and I cannot really help… Its not that the chap I spoke to wasn't sympathetic, nor that he failed to grasp what I was telling him, more that he seemed unable to push the issue ahead with management etc. Regards, Neil Barnfather Talks List Administrator Twitter @neilbarnfather TalkNav is a Nuance, Code Factory and Sendero dealer, as well as an Apple iOS, Macintosh and Android accessibility specialist.

Apple App Store & Refunds for inaccessible Apps
The below should prove a concern to all Apple accessibility feature users, and I would urge as many of you who can do so, to please write to Apple yourselves to express your concern along the same lines where possible… (accessibil...@apple.com). For years now Apple has led the way in accessibility standards and application of methods in interacting with all of its product range. Internationally within many disability arenas Apple is celebrated as the defacto standard and is widely acknowledged as users preferred platform for persons with accessibility issues. Whether or not the App Store had an unofficial policy towards customers with accessibility needs or not, is unknown to me. What I am aware of is that where I've bought Apps which turn out not to be accessible, Apple App Store has always been prompt to refund the purchase immediately without question. Since Apple do not enforce accessibility standards, nor in anyway whatsoever offer a method of a disabled user to know whether or not an App is, or is not, accessible in advance of purchase, this seemed to be a most reasonable compromise. However, in correspondence over the past week with Apple iTunes support staff via e-mail in relation to an App I have purchased which is inaccessible, Apple's stance has been both surprising and frankly highly dismissive of our needs and vulnerability when using Apple's App Store. I have been point blank refused a refund upon this occasion, with staff suggesting that I could leave a review for the App which others could read, and or write to the developer. Whilst I understand that the second suggestion may illicit a positive response, and sometimes it does… In many instances developers haven't even heard of Voice Over let alone understand what it does and how they aught to address compliance with Apple's Accessibility API's. Of course, the best approach would be for Apple to make compliance with its Accessibility API's a requirement for all new Apps being approved to the App Store, indeed a range of other options would also work, such as; a discount on the 30% cut that Apple takes for compliant Apps, a penalty higher fee (35% etc) for those that do not comply and perhaps indicating with a marker in the App store which Apps do meet the requirements. Since Apple do none of these, despite so publicly professing to up holding and supporting some of the most well implemented accessibility innovation and support seen in the industry, it seemed like a fair compromise that Apple voluntarily and without complication offered a refund to customers who had accessibility needs where an App proved to be inaccessible. The situation now, though is that Apple is refusing in an uncompromising and frankly shocking way to refund such purchases, with patronising and unsympathetic suggestions as to how we, as blind users, go about reviewing Apps etc. I would ask that Apple firstly developed a robust policy in this regard, and secondly, reviews options as to improving the compliance uptake of developers within their iOS and Mac App Stores. So that I can convey your response to the ViPhone, Macvisionaries and other Apple Accessibility user forums promptly, I would sincerely appreciate your earliest feedback and response on this issue. Yours kindly.

Linked In
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had better success than I with Linked In in terms of group messages and being a member of a group… I hate the current iOS app for Linked In, much of their accessibility has been screwed up and has been for the past few revisions of the app, they seem to ignore communications to this effect. My biggest frustration though by far is that I find contributing with Linked In groups very difficult indeed, as they seem to insist that you log in to your account per discussion and reply using their online interface rather than directly using the e-mail that you receive notifying you of the conversation… That conversation alert e-mail itself of course only has the beginning of the conversation thread in it, so you are forced to log in to read that before you can reply, and even know if you wish to participate in that thread! Any pointers or help much appreciated!

Re: battery packs

Re: battery packs
I spent a lot of time looking at these, whilst I didn't want to under purchase, in that I wanted at least 1 full charge+ out of the battery pack, I did not want to be hulking some hefty block about with me. I found that most of the battery packs that are out there are either single or below full charges for the iPhone 5, or massively over kill like 5 times full iPhone 5 charge. As I said though, I didn't want the weight of a huge battery pack weighing me down. Then quite by accident whilst on Amazon, up popped a message that I'd been looking at battery packs and I aught to look at the options from Anker. Anker being spelt A N K E R. I had a look and found what I was looking for.

Re: question about time readout for Macbook battery
Alex, Can I just ask, as I may have missed this. My MacBook Air already gives me this data. I perform a VO MM and arrow to the battery level, there if my Air is charging I here that it is on mains power and x many hours/minutes until full, likewise, if I am operating on battery power I here Battery power time remaining x many hours and minutes. What does your script do differently?

Can Apple TV Pull Content From a NAS
Hi All, Does anyone know, can an Apple TV pull content from a NAS on a local network? Either by providing the Apple TV in some manner the IP address, folder share and user credentials of the share so that it can scan the folder, or, by enabling iTunes Server which is a feature of my NAS. iTunes Server is not the same as Home Sharing as found in iTunes the application. Any thoughts much appriciated… Essentually what I want to do is use something like Apple TV to stream content from a share on my NAS rather than having to push to it from iTunes or an iOS device. thanks.

iTunes (Server, Home Sharing & AirPlay)
Hi All, Hoping that someone has some experience to share with me here, I'm looking for both an explanation as well as best practice advice. I have my iTunes Library stored on a NAS, not just the iTunes Media folder, but, the entire library itself. This has the advantage that I can run iTunes on any of my three Mac computers and sync up my iOS devices etc with that Mac at that time without messages about my device(s) being currently synced with other libraries. Now, here's where the education comes in, along with any advice… I would like to be able to play content from my iTunes library on an Apple TV, however, would rather not use AirPlay from my Mac computer as this means that my Mac has to be switched on and logged into my account whenever I wish to use the Apple TV for this purpose. Within iTunes I have spotted a feature called Home Sharing, am i correct in believing that this simply enables a, pull, feature of the iTunes system, thus enabling iOS and other computers running iTunes to pull content from the machine running iTunes at the time. Whereas, AirPlay is a push service, Home Sharing is an always on, pull service. AirPlay you push a video etc to a device, iTunes Home Sharing though is a feature for viewing all content on another machines library and pulling what you want on demand. Now, my NAS happens to have a feature built in called iTunes server, this is less obvious to me, I've not worked out what this is and how it works… Can anyone help me at all please… Firstly is my AirPlay and iTunes Home Sharing observation correct? and am I correct that both of these need a computer running iTunes to be on and logged in at the time either service is desired? Now, what is iTunes server, and can it critically be used with an Apple TV, so that the Apple TV can pull on demand content from my iTunes library stored on my NAS? Many thanks.

Re: keyboard backlight
no, F1 and F2 adjust the screen brightness, F5 and F6 adjust the back lite on the keyboard. sadly, the key board back lite measurement increment is not read as a percentage as the screen back light is… thus, you have no way of knowing when the back lite is off fully or up fully.

Chris, I have used Carbonite on Mac's and PC's… Windows XP, 2000, 2003 Server, 2008 Server, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. I also have used it on Mac OSx Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion… None of these had any issues whatsoever, with JAWS Pro on the Windows side and Voice Over on the Mac side.

Re: Question about dropbox iOS app.
Photo Stream on the Mac can be found by launching either iPhoto or Aperture, which ever you use. Within its preferences you can enable Photo Stream. Personally I use iPhoto, but have Aperture in case we need to adjust a photo in a far more professional manner.

Re: Question about dropbox iOS app.
Alex, Your method only works for up to 1000 photos or the last month worth of taken photos. Photo Stream is only used for up to one months pictures and at that, only 1000 as a maximum. So Chris would only be able to sync the last 31 days worth of taken photos, and up to no more than 1000. More over, if the pictures at this time are not in his photo real, or whatever it is that Apple call it, they will not sync up through Photo Stream.

Re: Question about dropbox iOS app.
Chris, Do you mean 25Gb of messages rather than 25Mb, as 25Mb should be about 35 - 50 pictures taken on an iPhone, perhaps even less. gigabytes is a totally different story. On the note as to how to move them over, do you have a computer, PC or MAc, as you can sync them all over to it, and then using iTunes you can have it sync an entire library or folder over to both devices. in other words, import all the pictures into the computer, then sync to both devices. the nice thing about this approach is as you add new pictures to the folder, both devices would get those pictures each time they sync up. finally, using Siri on an iPad its important to note that the iPad microphone is at the very top of the unit on the edge in the middle. so it should not be covered with a case or your hand, say for example landscape holding, and, you should direct your voice to that area of the iPad, not the bottom as with an iPhone.

Re: Mac Air Users Question
I'm not sure why folk keep talking about smaller keys on the Air, The iMac blue tooth keyboard and the 11in and 13in Air have identical sized keys. The only caveat is the Function row of keys, which on an 11in Air are slightly reduced in height. otherwise, the actual keys, numeric and alpha are all the identical size.

Re: Mac Air Users Question
Personally, if you do not need the screen size, the 11in Air is more than fine. I use a 27in iMac fully specced up 2012 model, and an 11in Air 2012 model, upped the processor but not the RAM. Voice OVer works just fine on both and I'm very happy with both configurations.

Re: Drobo Accessability
Paul, Yes, The NetGear drives are hot swap as well… I would explain here; The DroBo units simply slide the drives in and out, there are no drive trays involved, no screws, no, well anything. You just pull the magnetic cover off the front of the unit and slide a new drive in, or push the lever down per drive to manually push the drive out of the DroBo slots. I have owned 3 different DroBo's before I found the NetGear ReadyNAS solutions… All the DroBo's had to be managed for me as I could not do this for myself. They are pretty much plug and play, and once configured you just leave them alone, but, still there's the thing of not being able to manage it yourself. The droBo bay drive doors are plastic and spring mounted, I have broken the spring mountings four times, three times on one unit and once on another. They, in my view, are terribly designed for the money involved and far to easily brake when sliding the drive(s) out. The NetGear ReadyNAS units have metal trays which you have to screw the hard drive to, as with standard computer installations, the screws are small, but, as long as you handle with care and do the work over a large tray incase you drop one of those tiny screws you're good to go. I've heard folk saying forget the screws, just slide the drives in whilst resting in the metal bays, bad idea. Anyway, on the ReadyNAS units you manually pull a lever which releases the hot swap metal drive tray, install the drive into the tray and simply slide back into the unit. Done… Although its not quite as slick as the DroBo loading experience, i.e. a simple push in, or pull out, there's the tray to consider, in my view, the DroBo falls short in this area anyhow. The ReadyNAS is certainly hot swap and I have effected 5 drive switches on my unit since owning it. Four drives in one switch cycle, when I upgraded my 4 x 2Tb drives to 4 x 3Tb drives. Done in phases, one drive at a time. Allow the unit the time to rebuild the data once you have made the switch, and then move to drive two etc. For me, owning an internet firm we have lots of high grade drives in stock, so I use WD industry enterprise standard drives, so very powerful and reliable. Despite me having an almost full setup, each drive swap took about 3 hours to achieve. The only other time I had to make a change was when I needed to borrow a 3Tb drive for something. I whipped it out, used for a day or two on something else, then slipped it back into the ReadyNAS. Where it was wiped automatically, then reintegrated into the RAID setup. Beautifully simple and effective. I think most folk tend to look on NetGear as a cheap hardware manufacturer, and fare enough when you look at some of their low end routers etc. But, they also make some pretty good high end switches and other network equipment etc. Regards, Neil Barnfather Talks List Administrator Twitter @neilbarnfather TalkNav is a Nuance, Code Factory and Sendero dealer, as well as an Apple iOS, Macintosh and Android accessibility specialist.

Re: Drobo Accessability
Paul, Sorry, you are correct… during my rite up I mentioned several times the Ultra NAS, but only once ReadyNAS…. The unit is indeed the Ultra NAS which Ultra is part of NetGear's ReadyNAS line up. I have the top end 4 bay Ultra NAS. Duel ether net sockets, iScsi, File Server, USB 3 x 3 and more. Like I say, in my view its half the price of the DroBo, accessible, quieter to operate, just as well made, has multiple plug-ins already installed and ready to go, e.g. Time Machine and iTunes Server et al… I think you get way more bang for your buck with the NetGear ReadyNAS line up… noting there's no DroBo exclusive on their Beyond RAID technology, NetGear have the same thing just labelled X-RAID. Which can use multiple disks of differing size and spin speed. Need more space, just remove the smallest drive, insert a new larger one, wait for the unit to sync up, and repeat where needs be.

Re: Drobo Accessability
It is, or was not, accessible last time I tried it mid this year. I bought a NetGear Ultra NAS four bay model, very well made device, takes anything from 1 to 4 drives and is in my view as good as the DroBo. It has the same beyond RAID technology although NetGear call their version X-RAID. You can enable double or duel disk redundancy provided you have enough disks installed and the units within the range are all very well made. The important bit, the interface is HTML through Safari and as such, accessible. You can also configure Time Machine to backup to a NetGear ReadyNAS as I do, this works perfectly without third party software, which you have to do with a droBo.

Re: Quick Nav problems with Mountain Lion
Brian, I use Quick nav extensively myself, I have had no such issues at all with ML and Quick Nav. The only thing I have noticed is that Quick Nav seems to auto disable when you enter certain edit fields on web-sites. But, not all of them. which is a little confusing.

Re: Opinions on I Mac.
that depends on which model, 21.5in or 27in. I have the 27in and it definitely dominates the desk. That is a good thing, its a thing of beauty, so its not intrusive, but it is big in terms of surface area by way of its screen size. Its overall foot print though is relatively small. On a, quote, standard desk you'll find it takes up between a third and half the desk, width ways, depending on screen size. but, les than a rough twentieth by ways of depth.

Re: Opinions on I Mac.
Kawal, I use the 27in iMac, and have had three since 2010. They are well made, easy to navigate for ports etc, and powerful to run Voice Over without any form of issue at all. I would strongly recommend one with an SSD hard drive as that way it will be super nippy. if you are looking for something that just sits in the corner and will work when you want it, no fuss, no getting it out and ready, just there, waiting to be used, Regards, Neil Barnfather Talks List Administrator Twitter @neilbarnfather TalkNav is a Nuance, Code Factory and Sendero dealer, as well as an Apple iOS, Macintosh and Android accessibility specialist.

Re: A stance against inaccessibility...
Emrah, Thank you for this, whilst I fully understand what you are saying, this was not my point. If we celebrate and respect choice, and if we believe as a community that accessibility and inclusion are generic rights to all of us, we must stand up against this sort of thing. So, irrespective as to whether or not you use Sonos, if you live in the world and use anything from a paper clip to a computer, this issue matters to you and we should do everything in our collective power to make these guys listen.

Re: Changing between itunes libraries.
As has been suggested, I have one library for 4 iOS devices, all have different sync profiles in terms of what is and what is not synced. Simply connect your iOS devices all at the same time and manually manage the sync for each category rather than saying all.

Re: macbook air 2012 fan
Chris, I have the 11in Air 2012, you can hear the fan, as with all Apple laptops, but, and this is important, generally you should only hear it when the machine is working hard. So, when I first set up my Mac, Moving Drop Box in, which has like 130Gb of files, that caused the fan to crank right up to full, its not what I would call noisy, but, without a doubt you can hear it even when you are not standing / sitting in front of the machine. Other though than large file transfers, or intensive operations, the fan should be next to completely quiet. I will tell you this, if I press shut down, the noise difference between on and just e-mail, web browsing etc, and off, is so low by way of difference, I have to rest my ear to the keyboard to hear the difference between on and off.

Re: network attached storage with time capsule or air port utility?
Clifton, Did you have your NAS set up to use a static IP, if so, it may not be on the same range, or part of the same range, that the Time Capsule offers out as part of its DHCP range. The Time Capsule will by default act as a DHCP server, if your NAS was setup to be a DHCP client that should be fine, if though it is static, this would explain a lot of the issues.

what make of NAS and model do you have?

Re: Gestures on iMac?
Mark, I would suggest that the demonstrator doesn't know what they are doing, well at least properly. The Magic Track Pad, as Apple refer to it for the iMac… I use this on a day to day bases with my iMac, the commands mirror up to a large extent in line with the iOS commands. You can turn on and turn off Track Pad Commander, which allows for you to use iOS like gestures when it is on, and mouse like movements when it is off. You can have Voice Over follow the mouse, or the mouse follow Voice Over, or Voice Over and the mouse to have nothing to do with one and other. Then like with JAWS, for example, you can route one to the other if you need to perform a task. The way I personally do it most of the time is to have the mouse follow Voice Over, this I am pretty sure is the default. Doing it this way you can always know that the mouse is where the Voice Over cursor is. Then you can choose, do you wish to use iOS gestures to navigate or mouse like movements. Just adjust the Track Pad Commander control and away you go. There are a few additional things you need to know, these will make sense if you already use a Mac, but, essentially revolve around interacting with on screen elements. Let me know if you'd like to know more.

iMessages & Deletion
Hi All, Sent to both ViPhone and Macvissionaries list… Using iMessages now on my iPad, iPhone and all three Mac's, hitting an issue though that is quickly going to drive me insane. If I start an iMessage conversation on my iPhone, it beautifully appears on all my other machines and devices, lovely, well done Apple, this is great. But, what is dam annoying is when I delete a thread it only is deleted from that device or machine, I manually, or so it seems, have to remove each conversation thread from each device and machine. Surely Apple would have the brains to make this process work both ways, a message sent to an Apple ID appears on all platforms associated, yet, likewise, when removed / deleted would do the same. This is quickly going to drive me mad, we got back from our vacation today, I had left my MacMini and iMac off during the away time, when I turned them both back on, and logged in, even though 90% of the content had already been replied to and deleted, several hundred iMessages proceeded to download to both. very, very annoying. any thoughts out there. thanks.

Re: ML Safari and tables
that might make sense if the issue was only when using the tab key. but, I also cannot navigate into the table by using the Voice Over right arrow command, in other words, Voice Over skips the entire table no matter what I do. Interestingly though, Voice Over knows the table is there, and even its content, as I can use the Item Chooser to see whats there.

ML Safari and tables
Hi All, Since installing ML and the latest Safari build, my business internet banking has failed to work correctly. I'm not sure if this is the bank and the way its site is built, or the new latest Safari build. Basically, in SL and Lion, I used to be able to configure payments by setting the date etc, then tab through a table of payees and select the ones I wish to pay. Now the tab key jumps the entire list of check boxes and leaps to the end continue button. I can do nothing to work with that table. If I use the item chooser etc that finds the items, but, pressing return on the item leaps right to the continue button. Using the VO right arrow from the date area also jumps the hole lot. Any thoughts, has anyone else experienced this with HSBC banking online, or, any other site that did work OK with SL and Lion, but not ML. thanks for any thoughts and ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: dictation success!
Donna, I've not gone with the F10 idea, as F10 is also mute on the Mac, which can cause issues for obvious reasons… I've used the key directly below esc, however, whilst I can make it work every now and then not any other time… I tried the alternative of using the constantly listen option, being able to call out, computer what time is it, rather floats my boat… neither option are working for me…! any thoughts. thanks.

I have found it thank you, my question now is why is it not working!

Re: Voiceover on Login Screen in ML?
Ricardo, Also me too, on my 27in iMac and my Mini and Air, I get no issues, both Voice Over starting without issue and also with no mention of additional windows. I previously had Lion on all three machines and have only performed a straight upgrade, not a clean install.

iMessage & Immoticons
Have tried to use immoticons in an iMessage from my Mac to an iPhone user, they got the text but the immoticon appeared as a series of odd characters like 8) and %) etc. In my message history HTML area I also see the same thing, not the immoticon I used. Anyone else had this happen, or work! thanks.

Re: good old good old question, MBP or MBA
Joanne, As I write to you, I'm using a brand new iMac, 3.4Ghz i7 quad core processor, 16Gb RAM, enhanced graphics card, 256Gb SSD and 2Tb SATA drive. This is as loaded as you can make an iMac, it cannot be speced any higher. In contrast, I have an 11in MBA for use when at the office or out and about, or, even for when just sitting in the sitting room at home. My 11in MBA is an 1.8 i7 dual core processor, 4Gb RAM and a 128Gb SSD. At the time of ordering it, July last year, it was the most spec you could put on an MBA 11in. In terms of Voice Over performance I find no difference in either machine, so, with one machine seemingly to be, on face value, massively over powered compared to its portable counter part, I can honestly tell you that I have no discernible differences perceivable to myself even during heavy usage. I will very often have Safari up with 5 to 8 tabs open, Pages with 3 or so docs on the go, Mail with 6 accounts syncing every minute, Numbers with 2 or so spreadsheets open, and iTunes to boot. None of this slows the MBA down and I am ever constantly impressed with its capabilities. Now, you mention audio editing, it really depends on what you mean by that, picture editing, on an iPhoto level will be fine, I even have sighted people use Aperture on my MBA without issue. However, if you mean PhotoShop level of image manipulation at the intense end of reasonable, then you may, and only may, find the MBA under powered. But, I would ask myself very carefully how much image editing you really do. Otherwise, the MBA 11in is the machine if you are ever going to be carrying it about, the keyboard is not compromised in terms of physical key size, bar the F row, which face it, is used less often anyhow. I, in case you are wondering, have my iMac pumped up to the max, as a family friend edits together all my high end digital photography and home movies at full HD and as such, the power makes it more easy to do so. hope that this helps you.

Re: MBP vs MBA VS...
This has not been answered so I'll give it a bash. There is more to consider here than just processor, all the MBA's have an SSD, solid state drive, and as such, notably out perform their native MBP units which are fitted with traditional SATA drives. Of course it is possible to up spec an MBP to include an SSD which removes this advantage, but, still its at an extra cost. RAM is the key to multi tasking, and depending on how many Applications, and what they are, 4Gb should be enough for the majority of users. If you are doing more heavy stuff, then you may wish for more, which immediately removes the MBA from the question, as it is limited to 4Gb. Quick note, this assumes you're getting not one of the very brand new MBA's which now can be speced up to 8Gb RAM. All in all, I don't consider the MBP worth going for on the bases of the disk drive, unless you need one of those all the time, if you occasionally might need one, just buy the USB Super Drive, its relatively cheap and keeps the weight of your portable machine down. I have an 11in MBA speced to the max, and find it more than aderquitely, in fact, I see no lag whatsoever when its in use. I generally have Mail Safari with 6+ tabs open, numbers, pages and text edit all on the go at the same time, and the MBA doesn't even fire up its fan. ask yourself what you're going to be doing with it, and how much work load that genuinely entails… now consider that the MBA is a notable amount lighter than the MBP and how much that may or may not bother you. cannot really say more than that on the topic.

Re: iTunes Music Sync
Ami, Thanks for this, but, I sincerely doubt that hardware specification is the issue.

iTunes Music Sync
Hi All, Hoping someone might have come across this before an have an answer… I have just over 500 albums in my iTunes library, in the past, and I cannot remember when the problem began to occur, but, I used to be able to happily navigate the four tables within the Music tab of my iOS device within iTunes, which would allow me to choose what music to sync to my phone. For clarity, this is found by using the Source List, selecting the iPhone in question, moving to the Music tab, and interacting with the area that allows you to choose what music to put on the device. There are four tables in here, the two I use regularly are the artist and album tables. In the past, I could happily navigate these without any issue, and check the item I wanted on the phone. Now though firstly very frequently Voice Over starts its ever present busy, busy, busy, and when it does not, within the tables, which are alphabetically ordered, I can only manage to drop down as far as the rough end of B, before for an inexplicable reason, the Voice Over cursor throws me back up to somewhere near to the end of A, or, in other instances early B. I cannot seem to move beyond this, anyone experienced this at all, and, more importantly, does anyone have any thoughts as to how I can get around this issue? In case it is relevant, this is on an iMac 27in, running Lion and with the latest build of iTunes. This problem though existed on my 2010 iMac which I recently sold and now is present on my brand new one too. many thanks.

Re: showing hidden files/folders in Lion
Ricardo, The other day, an Apple senior tech advisor showed me how to show hidden files on my iMac. command, shift, period, that worked just ffine, it is a one time command, you have to repeat each folder you wish it work in, and, if you close the finder, you have to repeat it again in that folder if you wish to unhide again. I do not know how to hide again, other than closeing the finder window. this did work though.

Re: Carbonite
yes, I can access all the panels, restore, backup and status, I have customised my backup schedule so that what I want backed up is, rather than the auto mode. I should say though, that the auto mode is very good for 99% of clients, its just that I do things in a very specific way. but, yes, I can access the whole of Carbonite's entire panel within System Prefs.

Re: Questions about switching from PC to Mac
CV, Well, collecting data, I personally said yes to the bit that said, can Apple collect, xyz, data in diagnostic form… There is a wide range of things that it says this includes, and you can be pretty confident it includes accessibility data. its all anonymous anyway. Ultimately though, I have no grounds to complain, as with most, I agreed to this during sign up. If you, on your Mac, go to the Apple menu, then about this mac, there is a section in the Universal Access section which is a long list of feature sets of the accessibility services in OSx. Its a simple on / off list, yes / no, I bet a lot that this list is part of the data that Apple collect about my machine. thus, yep, right there in my list, Voice Over, yes.
