Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question
not sure if it still takes up space. i think it does actually as when i have looked on some occations the book is still there and i can still play it and i know that it isnt there on the book shelf of the library i got it from as the time has run out. i have reinstalled the app several times as well. i guess i can deal with it but it would be a lot easier if that bit worked. lol.

Re: Learning the Mac from a sighted perspective?
hi, i wouldnt mind knowing where to find some of this info too as my husband is partially sighted but doesnt use voiceover. On 6 Jun 2015, at 01:28, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: Hi all, Thanks to a very generous person, my (sighted) mother is finally using a Mac instead of her old, dying, Vista laptop. The difference is amazing; her Windows machine was so bad that, when I reminded her today she could just leave a few apps open at once on the MBP, she was surprised, and asked if that wouldn't lock up the Mac like it did on her other machine. Anyway, the transition is surprisingly smooth so far. However, there are tons of tricks I don't know, and/or don't even know about to research. Things like split screen, moving windows around, scroll gestures, drag and drop modes and commands, what icons do what, and so forth. Sure, I can tell her all the keystrokes I know, and most will carry over as they aren't VO-specific, but the point remains that she can do a great deal with the trackpad that I can't, so I'm not the best teacher for that aspect. Does anyone know what resources are out there? Perhaps a good web series, or a book similar to Mastering the Macintosh with VoiceOver--but for sighted users? I know this is slightly off-topic, but I'm not sure where else to ask. Thanks for any ideas.

I have tried my user name, my email address, my user name without the URL, and nothing works. Even went to my contact card in face book contacts, and it just had my user name without a number like tim suggested, and no URL. Doesn’t happen often, but this one stumps me.

This is different than your regular FaceBook login. this Jabber username usually does something with your name and adds a number to it. So, for example, mine may turn out to Tim.Kilburn.5 even though I login to FaceBook with an eMail address. If you’ve linked your FaceBook account with the other sharing features on your Mac, you’ll see that FaceBook Jabber info in your Contacts card in the Contacts app right by the IM field. Twitter and other linked social media accounts are also shown there. All set up and it works fine for me. HTH. Later... .

Indeed, you can use Facebook Messenger to message friends from OS X, and in moments you can set up the Mac Messages app to function as a Facebook Messenger client in OS X. http://osxdaily.com/ Using Facebook Messenger from the Mac is really quite simple, but it’s entirely separate from configuring Facebook sharing from the Mac, so if you have done one but not the other, you’d need to complete both to have the full Facebook functions of sharing, posting, and messaging available to you in OS X. http://osxdaily.com/ How to Add Facebook Messenger to Messages in OS X http://osxdaily.com/ This basically turns your Messages app into a full fledged Mac Facebook Messenger client, you’ll be set up in just a few seconds with these instructions: http://osxdaily.com/ Open the Messages app on the Mac if you haven’t done so yet http://osxdaily.com/ http://osxdaily.com/ Pull down the “Messages” menu and choose “Add Account…” http://osxdaily.com/ http://osxdaily.com/ From the message

It was so simple to set up I could have kicked myself *smile*. Here are the exact instructions for the Mac only; Windows users may skip this. 1. Open Messages. 2.

Select other messages account radio button and click continue. 5. In the account type popup button, choose Jabba. 6. Enter your Facebook username and password as shown in the example above. Note Don't know your Facebook username or haven't got one yet? Go to www.facebook.com/username log in if prompted and you can either create one or learn what your username is. The rest of the settings can be left alone, and it should just work like anything else on the Mac.
