Re: Affordable Braille display that works with voiceover
Affordable is pretty variable, depending on your circumstances. I’m personally in love with my Orbit Reader 20+. I’ve been using it for about a year now, and it plays nicely with VoiceOver both on my phone and on my computer. It’s noisier than some displays, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to use it in a public setting or while recording. I believe it’s currently priced around $700.

Dropboxon the Mac
Good afternoon, I’m trying to use selective sync on my Mac with dropbox. I’m told I need to do this via the desktop dropbox app, but the app has historically not been accessible with Voiceover. I’m wondering if any of you have found work-arounds for this. Is there any way to see the preferences for the Dropbox app? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

considering updating to Maverix, but have a question
Hello, all. I have a macbook that I purchased in 2010, just before lion was released. I'm thinking of updating to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, but have a question before doing so. When I first got the machine, I created a small windows partition using bootcamp. Windows XP is the operating system that runs there. I would like to update, but I want to make sure that the update will take away the partition. Since windows XP is no longer supported, I want the machine to run the mac os only. Is this possible? If so, could someone tell me how to make it happen? I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Re: Bookmark App is free today (November 6, 2013) [was Re: Chapters in audio books in iOS 7]
I've used this app, and have liked it. However, it's important to note that it will only add things to its library that are tagged as audiobooks. So, make sure any mp3 files you may have are retagged, or the app will not be able to read them.

splitting MP3 files
Hi, all. I'm wondering what, if anything, people use to split large mp3 files into smaller ones. I know there are several programs that work with windows, but I have no idea what will work with the Mac. I have a MacBook running mountain lion. Thanks for any assistance.

question about audiobook binder
Hi, all. I'm trying to use audiobook binder to join tracks that are currently in .mp3 format. However, it seems to want to convert the files to .m4b format. Is there a way to keep it from doing this? I'd much rather the files remain in .mp3. If not, what software do people recommend for joining .mp3 files?

trouble using a mouse in snow leopard
Hi, all. I'm having kind of a strange problem that I'm hoping someone here can help with. I'm running snow leopard on a MacBook, and Safari is the browser I'm using. So, I have a profile set up on one of the online dating services. However, when I want to edit this profile, I run into a problem. I can easily edit things that have radio buttons or check boxes. However, when I want to edit something in a form field, it won't let me do it. I called and asked the company how to do this. They told me I had to click in the actual form field. I've tried making sure the field is under the mouse using vo f5, and, once it's there, I do VO space, which is what I understood to be the equivalent of a mouse click. However, it just makes a beeping sound at me, and I can't edit the form field. I've tried this both interacting and not interacting with the text, and it makes no difference. So, is there something I'm doing wrong? Oh. I've also tried using the track pad, and double tapping when the field is under the mouse. The results are the same. So, I'm quite baffled, and would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Question about Safari and Snow Leopard
Hi, all. I'm still running Snow Leopard, and I've been having trouble with Safari. I've never been as comfortable with it as I was with Internet Explorer, but, for most things, I've managed to make it work. However, I'm having difficulty navigating a large site. I need to find an edit box where I can post a comment, and then, the button beneath the box to actually post the comment to the site. It doesn't matter what I set the web router to. No matter what I do, it refuses to find the box. I can find the "post comment" button with the item chooser, but, once I find it, I just sort of know it exists on the page without knowing where. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been using Internet Explorer on the Windows side of my Mac to do this, because fighting with Safari is proving too time-consuming.

Some questions about pages
Hi, all. I'm wondering how to access the inspector in pages. It is my understanding that things like spacing, word count, and other useful things can be accessed there. I've looked through the menus, and can't find anything that is labeled inspector. Also, is there a way to get pages to open a blank template automatically? Right now, when I open it, it makes me choose the template I want, and I'd really like not to have to do that. Any help with this would be appreciated. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Re: Can't open bookshare XML files anymore
I don't get any page about twitter, but it won't open the file. It shows me the list of top sites, a checkbox about bookmarks, etc., but no book. I was wondering why this was, and wrote a similar email to yours a few days ago. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

The Mac and bookshare books
Hi, all. I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to this question. I imagine someone, somewhere, must, which is good, as I am quite baffled. When I used Windows, I could open an .xml file that I had downloaded from bookshare. Internet explorer would open, and I could read the book, save it as a .txt file, etc. However, I can't figure out how to get safari to do this. I opened an .xml file, and safari opened, but it wouldn't show me the contents of the book. It just kept showing me a list of things like top sites, and a checkbox that was related to book marks. It said I could interact with the .html content, but, when I did, it was blank. Does anyone have any ideas as to how bookshare books can be read on the Mac? If so, I would appreciate the help.

Help with audiobook binder
Hi, all. I've installed audiobook binder, but seem to be having problems adding files. They add, but they aren't in the correct order. So, obviously, I don't want them to bind that way. How can I reorganize the order the files are in? Just for clarification purposes, they're in the correct order in the folders on the mac, but, when they're added to the binder, the order changes. I'm not sure why. Any help would be appreciated. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

RE: question about keyboard commands
It's right here in your post. Use the function key with left arrow for home, right arrow for end, up arrow for page up, and down arrow for page down.

Question about document sharing
Hi, all. I have a question about document sharing between the Mac and windows partions of my computer.

Re: yorufukurou question
If you go to the edit field in the timeline, write follow then the username without the at sign. This usually works. I've had to do it more than once at times. I would assume unfollow is the same, but can not say for sure, as I haven't tried it. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Re: Looking for the most accessible twitter client
I really like the one that is hard to spell and pronounce. The English translation of that word is Night Owl. It's quite easy to use. I used Syrinx for a little while, but found it a little clunky. I do know that a lot of people swear by it though. You might try one, and then the other, just to see which you like better. That's what I ended up doing. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Re: Pages for shannon
Thank you so much for this. It was incredibly helpful, and I appreciate it immensely. I have one question though. I do a lot of essay writing, kind of narrative nonfiction. I chose the blank template, because that seemed the most sensible. I did see the header, body, and footer fields. Would I use the header field as the place for the title, or does the application expect it to be used for something else? Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Re: using adium
It is VO friendly, but is a little tricky. When you see your list of contacts, press enter on the one you want to message. Type your message, and press enter again. Now, to read responses, move to the thing that VO has labeled unknown. Interact with it, and you'll see your messages and the responses. This is what you'll do with each contact you message.

Trying to set up growl
Good morning, all. I have installed growl. I'm wondering how to set it up and customize it to work with specific applications in specific ways. I've heard, for example, that it's very useful for dropbox, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Re: Bootcamping with windows xp
It did mention XP. However, it did say that it needed to be XP with service pack 2 or later. So, just the XP disk alone won't work. Because I don't need windows for a lot of things, the operating system gets only 32 GB, and works well. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

the mac and antivirus software
Hi, all. I know Macs are supposed to be more secure than windows machines, not as succeptible to viruses and the like. However, it seems strange not to install anything at all. So, I'm wondering if there's something I should install, or if it's really all right on its own. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Re: couple more mac questions
Check the box about quoted text. Basically, this will put your signature at the bottom of your message, even if you're replying to someone else's message, as I am doing now. Otherwise, your signature would appear at the bottom of the entire email. I was able to stagger my signature over several lines. No bonging on this end. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Re: best twitter client for the mac?
I'm using syrinx. It was recommended to me by quite a few people, and so, I decided to try it. I've been using it since Monday, and like it well enough so far.

Boot camp questions
Hi, all. There are a few programs that won't run on the mac, and so, I was told that, using boot camp, I could get windows to run on the Mac. I'm not sure how to do this though, as I see no reference to boot camp anywhere on this machine. Also, I'm wondering if this is something I can do myself, or, if I'll need sighted assistance. Lastly, once windows is installed, I understand that I have to choose between windows and Mac at start up. Will voiceover be active during this process? I'm really sorry for all the questions, and I do appreciate how helpful all of you have been. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

Mac will not stop trying to connect to server
I seem to have done a bad thing. I tried to connect to the network in our house, but I typed it in wrong. Now, finder is trying and trying to connect to the server. I try to cancel, close, quit, and anything else I can think of, but none of it works. It just keeps telling me that it's busy, and keeps trying to connect. How can I make it stop?

Re: transition from pc to mac
I fought the signature battle yesterday. Finally, I won. So, open mail. Then, go to the menu bar and find preferences. You'll see a series of buttons, one of which is labeled signatures. Enable that one. Here's where it got tricky for me. You'll see a table. You have to control option shift down-arrow to interact with it. When I did this, I saw something that said GMail, and, since that's what I use, I left the table alone, now that it was highlighted. Then, I tabbed over to a box that said signature 1. At first, I thought that was where the signature went, but no. That seems to just be the name of the signature. I tabbed again, and was in an edit box. I wrote the signature. The next part, I couldn't get voiceover to do, so a friend clicked on the plus sign for me. Apparently, this says that this is the signature I wanted to use. Then, I checked the box that said "include signature above quoted text". After that, I was done. Hopefully, this helps a bit. Shannon Are you a fan of women's music?

This was a marvelously helpful message. I read nothing about either of these features in the voiceover quickstart, and no one has suggested them. Thank you so, so much for making me aware of them.

Re: transition from pc to mac
Joanne, I'm in the absolute same boat. I was a windows user forever, and my machine is now in the process of dying. So, I bought a Mac. I'm finding it quite overwhelming. I keep tweeting all these questions to Mac users that I know, and I do feel quite stupid at times. So, I, too, shall be grateful for any tips people have to offer.
