Re: Question about downloading audio files linked from web pages in safari
Hi, I tried the suggestions in this message for forcing an mp3 to download and found on my system that the only one that works is to press and hold option and pressing enter while sitting on the link. This works like a charm. Thanks Esther. Robert Carter On Jul 23, 2009, at 10:25 PM, Esther wrote: Hi James, You asked: Is there a way to configure things so that when you click on a link on a page such as blindcooltech.com or serotalk.com as examples that have links that are http://www and have an mp3 file at the end of the link so that it will download the mp3 instead of just launching into quicktime or whatever it is that just streams and plays it at that point? You can force any linked file to download in Safari instead of being displayed (in the case of PDF files) or played (in the case of MP3 files) by having your mouse cursor routed to the link and issuing an Option-Click. If you're on a link, use VO-Command-F5 to route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor, if you don't have the box for Mouse cursor tracks VoiceOver cursor checked in your VoiceOver Utility Navigation settings. Then, press the option key and click with either the trackpad (on a laptop) or by pressing a mouse button (with an attached mouse). If you have a numeric keypad with Leopard's NumPad Commander turned on, you can do the click by pressing the 5 key on the numeric keypad while pressing the option key. If you want to force a download after clicking a linked mp3 or PDF file that loaded into the Safari browser, press Command-L to go to the Address bar, then press option followed by the enter (or carriage return) key. That action effectively issues an Option- Click to download these linked files that loaded into the browser.

Fusion is definitely way better than parallels. I did manage to get parallels to work with jaws some time ago, but the virtual machine ran very slowly. If I remember this correctly, I first installed windows through bootcamp and installed jaws also through bootcamp. Then once parallels was running, I told it to use the bootcamp installation as its virtual machine. I think that doing things in that order meant that jaws could run properly. I'm afraid my memory on all this is a bit hazy as I quickly gave up on parallels and opted for fusion which seems to work a lot quicker and is more accessible. Also worth noting that because of the jaws activation method, you may need to reactivate every time you change major parameters such as ram memory allocation, because jaws thinks it's a completely different computer and deactivates itself! Very annoying! That's why a lot of people recommend wineyes, because it doesn't have the activation issues. Hope this helps.

Next time it happens, can you check the file sizes of both copies you get? For me, it was always that one was the full size of the file, the other would be tiny like 32kb or something. I think what you're seeing is something called Apple Double format, and it occurs when you do a copy and paste to a FAT32 formatted device like your SAID card or a USB memory stick (among other circumstances). The set of files which Scott mentions as being 32kb in size will have names that are preceded by a period and then an underline character followed by the regular file name, and are referred to as dot underscore files. (You'll have to read the filenames by character to hear the prefix characters with VoiceOver.) Basically, Apple's file system keeps track of two kinds of information -- a data fork and a resource fork. You know that when you open files on the Mac you can specify which application is used on a per file basis. Mp3 files can be played with VLC, QuickTime, iTunes, Amadeus Pro, etc. That kind of data (and other information about the file) is stored in the resource fork. It doesn't get used when you transfer files from a Mac to Windows, but it does have information if you were to transfer the files (say, on a USB memory key) to another Mac. This is described in Apple's Knowledge Base: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20578 (Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix 'dis_') You can safely delete the small dot underscore files. Under Leopard, there's a dot_clean command available from terminal that will do this. Here's the description of the dot_clean man page: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/dot_clean.1.html With your SAID card mounted, launch a Terminal session (e.g. from Finder use Command-Shift-U then press t e to go to Terminal and Command-Down Arrow to open). Type a command like: dot_clean /Volumes/SD/ where you substitute the actual path to your mounted SAID card as the argument for dot_clean (and press enter after you type the command). You can find the device in your Finder sidebar and use the Get Info window (Command-I) to find the path to mounted device. Remember to close the Get Info window with Command-W when you're done. There are commercial solutions GUI-based solutions like BlueHarvest, too. http://zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest/ Incidentally, this is also an issue for people trying to move files between the Mac and linux via tar savesets. You can disable the extended attributes from the bash shell in terminal with: export COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE=TRUE to avoid including created dot underscore files, or you can just transfer the files via FTP or SFTP.

Re: viphone list?
Hi, Somebody said that joining Google Groups would help. I tried that and it didn't make any difference. I still get the message that the list is moderated. I did, however, have a lovely experience with the Solona captcha solving service. It worked like a charm.O Robert Carter On Jul 2, 2009, at 6:45 PM, Scott Bresnahan wrote: Hmm.

Subscribing to the viphone list
Hi, When I send an email to subscribe to the viphone list, I get an email back from google groups saying that it is a moderated list and one cannot subscribe via email. It gives me a link for more information but the page is just a sign up page to join google groups. How do I proceed from here? I really want to join this list.

Skype Question
Hi, Is Skype 2.8 the latest version for the mac? I downloaded and installed it from skype.com. When I add a contact, the person that I am adding does not see me in their list because skype is not prompting me to allow them to see my details. Does anybody know why this isn't happening? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot it? Thanks, Robert Carter --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Skype Contacts
Hi All, I just started using the current released version of Skype on my Mac. How does one use VoiceOver to tell whether or not a contact is online? Also, is there any way of hanging up a call other than using the call menu?

Re: Monitoring progress with Voice Over
Thanks Esther, As always that is excellent information. Robert Carter - Original Message - From: Esther mori...@mac.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Date: Tuesday, Jun 2, 2009 14:55:13 Subject: Re: Monitoring progress with Voice Over Hi Robert, I'm pasting this in from a message I sent in April about setting up the iPod Nano 4G. It describes where to check for the updating status when syncing -- this is the player status window of iTunes that announces which track is currently playing, etc. The main thing is that the updating information state only gets read when you move onto this field so hold down the VO keys and alternate moving arrow keys off and on the sync status information. I haven't checked this against the latest version of iTunes, but anything that changes is likely to be a quite minor modification that you can figure out from the information below. begin excerpt There is a status window in iTunes that you can reach by doing a VO-Up Arrow twice after you stop interacting with the iTunes Settings scroll area. The first VO-Up Arrow gets announced for me as Text List View Switcher the status window is announced as LCD scroll area. You'll need to interact, and you'll also need to move off and on the fields with VO-arrow keys to get the updated messages. If I VO-down arrow and VO-up arrow fast, I'll hear Syncing iPod Do Not Disconnect and Updating your name's iPod. This message alternates with a second message that will tell you the actual files being copies at the time you sample by name and number. So I could hear the name of an Audiobook file and a number like copied 71 files of 73. When everything is done you'll hear Sync is complete in this field. The main thing is that you have to move on and off the fields to get the updated status. The other thing you can check, which is less helpful than the status window (which, incidentally, is the Now Playing window when you are playing music in iTunes), is the capacity bar scroll area. If you are in the iTunes Settings Scroll area for your summary settings, VO-Down Arrow to the Capacity Bar scroll area and interact. This gives you the amount of space that is used on your Nano, and the values actually change (in blocky jumps) while your iPod updates if you monitor it. It's less useful to check things here until your sync is finished. You can interact and VO-right arrow across to find out the amount of space allocated to audio, video, other (I think that's contacts and games and, in our case, the spoken menus), and free space. end excerpt Hope this helps.

Purchasing individual songs on iTunes
Hi, I am using the latest version of iTunes. I went to the store and did a search for the artist that I wanted. I was able to see each song in the songs table and was able to press enter on each song to hear a sample. I could not find a button that allowed me to purchase the song. I could enteract with the html content and see buttons for buying entire albums but nothing for individual songs. What am I missing?
