Re: Very strange issue after update to SL, Please help
According to this article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452?viewlocale=en_US The upgrade to Snow included the permissions repair. It also states that repairing permissions now will only repair Snow, so to go back and repair Leopard, you need the disk. But, since the upgrade repaired permissions, I don't think that's the issue, unless something was carried over from Leopard. The issue did not occur in Leopard, however. For now, things are running smoothly and incredibly fast. I just have the very occasional incident of not being able to edit text on a website. Restarting VO takes care of it. It must be something buggy with the VO on my Macbook. It's the only conclusion I'm drawing. Since I know how to get around it for now, things are fine.

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. I'll give this a try. Can anyone explain what repairing permissions means?

Repaired permissions? No, this has not been suggested but I don't know what it is. Can you explain?

Re: Very strange issue after update to SL, Please help
I was hoping to wake up and find a solution here lol! Is everyone as lost as I am? If you've never heard of this or have no idea, do you have any idea of what I might try? Should I bother calling Apple? Their people don't seem to know much about VO. Should I just be grateful that for now, restarting VO solves the problem?

Ok went and downloaded the latest Safari update, restarted, opened Safari and still could not type on Facebook mobile. That's one of the sites I have issues on. Restarted VO and could type.

Re: Very strange issue after update to SL, Please help
Hi there, Yes, some updates were run right after the installation was complete, but then the Macbook freaked out so I don't know for sure if they took. I don't believe there was a Safari update, but I'll go check for updates now. I remember one thing; it said it would start setup assistent right after the Macbook restarted, but then the Welcome to Voiceover thing happened, and there never was a setup assistent. In recent items, setup assistent was listed, but would not start. I don't know if that's an issue, but I keep remembering it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Very strange issue after update to SL, Please help
Hi folks, I upgraded to Snow Leopard Friday from Leopard, on my two year old Macbook. I did not do a clean install. I installed over Leopard after doing a backup with Time Machine. Everything seemed ok except I kept getting "stuck" in the dock, but that issue seems to have resolved itself after I realized the dock had changed a little with the upgrade. The main thing I'm noticing now is that quite suddenly on certain websites, I cannot enter text in a text edit field. I couldn't even enter text to search the archives here. Then suddenly, it'll be fine. One time, just turning on my wireless keyboard allowed me to type in a text edit field. This is only in Safari. No other applications are effected. I have tried the following: Turned off VO then had my sighted boyfriend use the mouse curser to get to a spot I could not type in, and he was able to enter text. When I turned VO back on, I could read what he typed and delete it and type there. After that I realized if I restart VO, I can type. But I might go to another page and not be able to. Since my boyfriend was able to enter text, I thought it must be a VO issue. I restored VO back to its factory settings and that did not solve the issue. The mouse curser is turned off. I tried unchecking "Voiceover follows keyboard focus" and vice versa, in Voiceover utility but this did nothing. I had some funky issues with VO before the upgrade, like it never kept my rate setting after waking the computer. At one point, Alex wouldn't even talk for the longest time after waking, so I turned him off before putting the computer to sleep every time. Those issues have stopped with the upgrade. Sometimes now, after the upgrade, when I restart VO, it wants to walk me through using it. I have to press V to shut it up. This isn't every time though, only after waking it. If I do it multiple times, it doesn't ask me to learn it, only the first time I might restart after starting VO. >From everyone I've talked to, it's looking like a clean install would be best. I'd like to avoid that if possible, but I'm finding nothing about any of this. Another suggestion was to create another user and see if the issues are in that user also, but I think that might be redundant now since I just restored VO and basically, that's what creating a new user would do. Is this crazy? Any suggestions? Thoughts? Help? Haha...thanks in advance... PS - Aside from this, Snow Leopard is pretty freaking cool. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?
Hmmm, so you're saying the iPod Touch is better than the Nano 6th gen? I don't do anything with iPods other than listen to music and books. I like the 5th gen because of the built in speaker. It's awesome for reading in bed. Not sure if the 6th gen has it. You have to pay for something to use the Touch? I've never been clear on how that accesses the internet, or why I'd want it when I have a laptop. I do some commuting though. What do you have to buy to use the internet on it when you're on the bus? Hmmm now I've opened a can of worms when I was just curious about the 6th gen haha!!

Safari Update
Hey all, Haven't had any problems, so haven't needed to post. I searched to see how ya'll were feeling about the latest Safari update, and it seems I'm not alone. Safari keeps freaking out when I navigate by headers on certain sites, and it's really freaking out with Blogger now. When I interact with text, I can't use command up arrow and down arrow to get from top to bottom, and when I'm interacting, it won't let me go line by line in a text edit field. So the only way to edit is to go word by word. Also, when I click the "select all" link for labels, Safari dies and I have to restart it. Every time. So I don't do that anymore and I've started composing blogs in text edit. This takes me back to being afraid to install Windows updates. I'm still using Leopard. Is anyone having problems with the latest Safari in Snow? Just had to complain. I send the error reports to Apple every time since at least with Apple, I have faith that they are listening.

Re: iTunes lost all my stuff
Hmmm. Well since you're saying the problem occured because I might have held down the option key, I wonder if I launch iTunes and hold the option key, if it will ask me about the library again. I might try that when I get to where I can tackle this problem. All the other options sound really daunting, so I'd rather find the easiest route. I also thought about uninstalling iTunes and re-downloading it. I wonder if that would do it.

iTunes lost all my stuff
Hi all, I am restraining myself from calling Apple until tomorrow. I just did the latest iTunes software update, and when it was done, it asked me to pick a library. Huh? I think I just selected music. Well, all my stuff is gone. All of it. Gone. I'm freaking out and have shut down iTunes until I calm down and/or hopefully get some answers. If you have any ideas, please, please tell me. I have all my stuff on my iPods, but not on a hard back up.

Re: ITunes "store" and "Itunes Store"
I think the first "store" is like a heading. It's in all caps. Right below "iTunes store" is "purchased, store playlist" so I think the first "store" is like a category thing. If you stop interacting with the table while focusing on "store" and then interact with the table again, the focus is on "iTunes store". I don't think there is much of a real purpose, but I've wondered this myself :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Voiceover won't auto-read mail messages
Hi Christina! I don't have a solution, but I wanted to welcome you to to this group. I've probably learned 80 percent of what i know about VO from this board. I haven't upgraded yet, because I'm scared and want to find out some stuff first from people who have upgraded. I didn't even know you could read messages in Mail that way. I always stop interacting with the messages table, and then interact with the message content scroll area, and then it reads the whole message. Is there something in mail preferences? Probably not, since those aren't VO preferences huh. I hope you get it figured out, and again, welcome! This group are experts!!

Your opinions on Snow Leopard
Hi all, I am terrified of upgrading. My Macbook is my first experience with a screeneader, and I've taught myself by trial and error and by reading this board. I would like your opinions before I upgrade. Have the commands changed? Is it still basically the same with some new funtions? Will I be totally lost? Have you run into any annoying problems? Are you able to do everything you did before? Was the installation fairly easy? I would really like your help in easing my fears. Apple and VO have brought the internet and technology back to me since losing my vision, and I'm terribly afraid of change...

Re: New Os or not?
I too, am nervous. Especially since VO is my first screenreader, and it took awhile to learn it. I never buy tech toys when they're brand new; I usually wait to see what others think. I think I'll do this with SL too, just to kind of have some info before I take the plunge. It was discussed earlier, and it sounds like VO will run right from the start, to walk us through set up. Scary though :) Randi --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Question about reading this group on web only
Hi all, I choose to read this board on the web only, so my email isn't clogged, and because I don't read every topic. It becomes difficult to find a topic I've posted in, because it doesn't seem to keep messages on top in accordance to replies. I tried "clicking the star to watch topic", hoping it would keep watched messages on top, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions for easier access?

Re: say it's not so apple
Wow, yeah I seriously doubt that Apple would force us to use something. This reminds me of having the option of doing group or dom mode. It'll probably be a setting in the internet area. But, this is why I'm going to wait to by SL until I see what others say. I'm terrified of it working totally differently and having to relearn it all. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: How to Shuffle within Playlists [was Re: Creating a smart playlist in iTunes - I don't get it]
I agree, thats why I bring my questions here rather than trying to search for answers. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and actually uses it all.

Re: Creating a smart playlist in iTunes - I don't get it
Nice, got my 4 playlist ;) I think my main issue with all this is not knowing what all the rules mean, what all the options mean, you know? Plus, I wasn't just making the rules, stopping interaction, and hitting enter. I thought I had to figure out all these things...so now I think I can play with it, yay!!!

Re: Creating a smart playlist in iTunes - I don't get it
Hi ladies, Ok, this is helpful. But, my dad had seaid something about creating a playlist with all songs beginning with "T" or the like. I thought it would be fun to create a playlist with all number 4 tracks...just to see what comes up, what gets combined. I don't necessarily want the same genre or artist, ya know? So I still can't see how to do this. All these fields are just confusing...I think I need to play with it, but it never seems to like the rules I try to assign...Esther, your post is great, so detailed.

Creating a smart playlist in iTunes - I don't get it
Hi everyone, I know I'm asking lots of iTunes/iPod questions, but I get the most useful information from ya'll, so I've just given up searches. I don't understand this smart playlist thing. I click create playlist and it asks me for all these guidlines, but no matter what I pick, it says something like, this will never work, haha. I'd love to just be able to click a button and have an interesting playlist created...does anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Re: Braile labels and the disk drive
Wow am I glad I asked this question haha! On another email list, we were discussing the labelers, and someone mentioned needing to label a bunch of cds.

Re: Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod
Hi and thanks so much, both of you. Ok so, I was playing around last night waiting for replies haha, and managed to find how to change the voice, but the rate doesn't seem to change. I can live with that. I gound the list on the ipod thanks to your reply. My problem now is that I'm stuck with what ou mean about when focused on the music, and then VO right to auto fill or something? That this will let me to copy to iPod? I'm not getting that...I think I'll end up copying from the songs table, because that seems easiest. But, how can I copy more than one song at a time? So, in the songs table, how can I select more than one song to copy? I think I'm getting closer :) I think once I figure out how to copy playlists or multiple songs, I've got it. For example, I've got a playlist called "girls". So, how do I copy the whole playlist? That is where I'm confused.

Re: Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod
Hi oh and thank you!! Ok, I have selected manually manage music, did that a few days ago. So, if I sync though, to add stuff, will I lose whats on it? How do I add stuff to it? I've never used an ipod before. I can locate it just fine, and have the manually manage music selected. Where do I go from here? Is there anyway to see whats on the iPod and delete stuff at all? I can't seem to do that. There's some stuff on there I don't want to keep on it. As for the update, its good to know it took awhile and that you didn't know if anything was happening. It just says status or something, but doesn't say anything. I'll try updating it too. Can you just walk me through how to add a playlist or podcasts to it without losing whats on it? Thank you thank you! And thanks for the info on Victor; I saw it today at the center and fell in absolute and total love!

Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod
Hi all, Quick question on Victor Reader...is it compatible with Mac? On iPod, I got a nano before my macbook. I hooked it up, had auto sync off, so didn't lose whats on it. But I can't do anything with it aside from listen. If I try to add anything, I'll lose whats on it. Also, I need to change the voice but can't find where to do that. Also, it keeps saying there are updates for the iPod, but when I select update, it freezes and does nothing. Do I just need another iPod? Am I out of luck with this one, since my friend did stuff to it on his Mac? Help? Please? Oh and do you know how to import the stuff from the pod to iTunes? I selected that, and it said there was trouble with some of it, but that it imported some of it. I'm so confused...

Getting songs off an iPod
Hi all, I was given an iPod Nano before I got my Macbook. I haven't done anything with it because i don't want to lose what's on it. I want to put the songs on it int my iTunes library. I've heard you need skip for mac or something or other to do this. I also don't want it to delete everything if I hook it up. I've turned off auto sinc in iTunes. I'd like to start using the iPod, keep whats on it, add to it, put whats on it into mylibrary. Any suggestions?

Re: how do I deleete book marks with vo?
I just tried this, as I've been wondering how to do this myself. I brought up the window, interacted with the first table. There are 2 unlabeled tables.

Re: when closing lid
This is odd...I have about 9 bump dots on my keys and this never happens to me. However, I got in the habit of putting it to sleep before shutting the lid...I just hit the power button once quickly and then select "sleep". It sleeps and then I close the lid. I don't think this would make a difference though...again, strange. some of my dots are kinda tall, but they never interfere with sleeping. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

To those who use Group Mode please
Hi all, I had an earlier thread about group mode, asking exactly what its for, what things change when you use it, and how to turn it on. The only thing discussed was if there would be a short cut to this in SL. So, if you use group mode, and you respond? I'm afraid to switch to it if there are a lot of changes causing me not to get back to the original mode. Any experience with group mode is appreciated, and/or links to articles about it.

Re: google voice problem resolved
This isn't directly related to Google talk or whatever, but in response to not finding the continue button. I had this problem on mlb.com, trying to sign in to use Gameday audio. There was no 'continue" or "submit" button anywhere and I even called customer service. She could see the button, my boyfriend could see it, but VO did not. Finally I just entered the information and hit return and voila. it worked. There is no need on mlb.com anyway to find the submit button, because just hitting return works fine. Maybe that would work with this too? Just a thought. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: waiting for my macbook
Hi there, I don't know if you have used a Mac before or if this is your first, so just in case you haven't, I'll explain that way. The Apple key is the Command key, located to the left of the space bar. With the Macbook, you'll need to use Function as well. So to turn on Voiceover after the computer starts up, press Command plus Function, plus F5. The function key is the key on the bottom left corner, 2 keys over from your command key. You will hear "Voiceover on". It's already read to go, no installation of the screenreader necessary. HTH, Rayna Roberto Burceni wrote: > Hi all, finally I decided to buy a macbook pro 13.3 inces.

Group mode? safeway.com, Facebook?
Hi all, A few months back, someone suggested group mode to navigate sites like Facebook. I was too scared to try it. Now I'm ready. I use m.facebook.com but its so limited. I also just signed up for home grocery delivery at safeway.com, but I have to use the accessible site, because VO just wouldn't handle the frames. Does anyone use safeway.com for home delivery?

Re: Snow Leopard pre-order
Ok yes, that helps. I think I understand about holding down C, but didn't know why it couldn't be done just like any other program. In doing this, does VO work the whole time then? I think I did actually upgrade a Windows machine once, and when I did that I just inserted the cd. I had forgotten about that. I know I know, forget everything I knew about Windows though ;) Thanks all! Are you all planning to upgrade immediately, or do you wait to see how it works out?

Re: Snow Leopard pre-order
Oh dear, lol! Ok, I've never upgraded an OS, period, ever. I was a Windows user before I went blind, but I just bought new computers. I switched to Mac when I went blind, so this is all new to me. Hold down the C key when booting? So I don't just insert the cd with the macbook on? This outta be interesting haha. Well now that I know I can do it, I'll go ahead and preorder. I'll cross the installation bridge when I come to it. ;) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Snow Leopard pre-order
Hi all, I just received an email from amazon telling me I can pre-order Snow Leopard for $29. I didn't know we were so close to getting it! I am going to pre-order, and I have a question. I haven't upgraded an OS yet. Is this something I will be able to do on my own? How does it work? When I go to install, will VO work to tell me what is happening? Any pointers from those who have done an upgrade will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, another iTunes/iPod question
Hi all, I had an iPod first, before i got the Mac and figured out iTunes. My friend had put a bunch of stuff on the iPod that I don't want to lose. How can I hook it up to my Mac and start puting stuff on it, without loosing whats on it? I'd like to import what is on it as well. A friend said there is some program you can get, to do this so that when it syncs, there is no loss. Any suggestions?

Re: Adding e-mail addresses in address book?
Excellent. I was popping in to ask this very question, and here it was. I haven't really had to worry about it too much, because in typing an address or name, it auto fills, but only if I've previously written the person. I spent about an hour trying to find a way to add a friend's address and finally just stuck it in a blank field to keep it. This helps a lot. Thanks guys!

Re: Ghost in my Mail program? This is odd.
I think I must have that mac account or something then, because I've got both the mail program and the webbased active. I just don't know how it happened. I found command shift D in the menus, but it didn't work. I might have had the wrong keys, who knows. I'm going to practice with it more before going life with it. Cool, thanks guys.

Re: Ghost in my Mail program? This is odd.
Oh I know what I did, my phone has a QWERTY keyboard, and the 5 key corresponds with the D, so the D has a bump, like the F on my Mac, so I did the reply command wrong, pressing F, instead of D. Much easier to use the shortcuts to send then find the menu. I think I do like the mail program, especially the message contents scroll area reading the whole message. Sweet. I'm so glad so many of you suggested the mail program.

Re: Ghost in my Mail program? This is odd.
Ok great, I will use Command W. As far as the ghost, mail didn't have anything from my old gmail, and my new gmail never talked to my old one.

Ghost in my Mail program? This is odd.
Hi all. I was intrigued with the mail program, so I was going to import my gmail pop address into it, and play with it while still keeping it online too. I opened up mail, and everything I've ever sent or received was in there, for my current gmail address. thi is odd, because when I bought the computer, I had a different email address that I gave them at the store. But I couldn't remember the password for it, so I set up my current one, but never did anything with the mail program. So how, on earth, did Mail know what my gmail account is, if I never told it? I'm not complaining, because now I get a sound for new emails. I'm still primarily using web based because I've got to learn the mail program. But since I finally figured out link chooser, that is easier. Does anyone know what ghost talked to my mail program? Also, does anyone have a link to a tutorial on the mail program? I've got some message windows open that I don't know how to close lol. Quitting the program doesn't close the windows.

Re: Can't get to latest messages in thread
Hi Dan, I've had several people suggest this. I used gmail when I could see, so I'm pretty used to it. I'm getting inrigued though. Do you know if the mail program shows the messages the same way web based does? In the web based, the messages appear in conversations, so they're all grouped together. I like that. I do like the fact that the mail program notifies of new emails. Gmail has a notifier, but I don't know if it would work with Voiceover.

Re: Can't get to latest messages in thread
Ok found your post using that archive thing. I like reading it here because I can forward messages I want to my inbox. Here, meaning online Google group. I wonder if there's a way of letting someone know that once a ghread count increases 25, the rest of the messages aren't shown on the Google group. Odd indeed haha. Maybe I'm the only one who likes reading online at the google group. Thanks Esther! I figured out all the playlist stuff, but your tip about moving multiple songs will be helpful, for sure. Smilie.

Re: Can't get to latest messages in thread
Well, that didn't work. I view the board in Safari. Not in an email program. Control N didn't do anything. I accidentally did command N the first time, and that was good because its a shortcut for opening another browser haha.

Re: More Help with iTuenes, was, Help with iTunes
Nice. Well I've mastered creating playlists and moving stuff to them. The only thing I didn't figure out was how to move a whole album to a playlist. Example, I created a classical list, and moved 50 Essential pieces of classical music, one by one. It was good practice, but for future, is there a way to move a whole album? I know you can create a list from the browser under albums, but for the purpupose of say, having a musicals list, being able to move an entire musical. I guess that's not too necessary, since having a list for each musical is fine too. I think I've got the basics thatnks to ya'll! As for using B or M to buy, I learned M first so I think for now I'll stick to that haha. This is wonderful! Thank you all so much!

Re: More Help with iTuenes, was, Help with iTunes
I'm sure this will make sense eventually haha. So, to create my own playlist, can you walk me through where I start from and what command to do? Is it in the sources menu? And then VO shift B? And, I know when I first downloaded an album, I was able to access a list of albums, but now I don't remember how I did it. So here's what I want to do for now, I want to make a classical list, and add 3 albums to it. Then, I want to make a songs list, and I'll have 2 albums and a few songs to add to it for right now. Can you walk me through step by step how I'd do this? I like the VO shift M way of doing it. In that menu, it will give me an option to add to a playlist? This is really really great information guys! I think I'll get one of those Voiceover podcasts too. I don't know all my commands yet, so its kinda like trying to read a brail book before knowing all the letters lol. Thanks!! Randi Scott Howell wrote: > Esther, thanks, that was what I had wrong.

Re: More Help with iTuenes, was, Help with iTunes
Alrighty then, VO shift and M worked like a charm. Finally got the
song haha. Thank you thank you! Next step is learning how to make
playlists and organize the music the way I want. The website Esther
gave me makes it sound really complicated, and thats for itunes
seven. Any pointers for me? I think I've mastered the store. Though
the two podcasts I tried failed in downloading so that was
disappointing haha.
I had given up and walked away. So glad I looked here again.

Re: More Help with iTuenes, was, Help with iTunes
I'm confused.
So it's VO shift and M on the price, not VO shift space?
So to refiew, I search, then interact with songs list, get to where it
says price, and do VO shift M?
Most other voiceover commands are over my head, as I'm still new, only
doing this since December. So nursery school directions are needed to
explain things to me lol.
Do you know why albums are so much easier? I've already gotten 3
because there's a nice easy button that says, buy now. Why don't they
have that for songs?
Man, learning brail is easier than itunes haha.
Thanks,
Randi

Re: More Help with iTuenes, was, Help with iTunes
Hello everyone. Mark helped me figure out search, so I have found and downloaded some stuff. How though, do you crate a playlist? I clicked on create a playlist, and the fields made no sense. I got a bunch of classical stuff that I want to put in a folder. Also, is there an easy way to get just single song? I searched for a song I wanted and had to click around a few links to get to just the song and not the whole album. I heard how much it was, and my boyfreind saw, buy now, but I didn't hear that, and it wasn't a button. Could it just be that it wasn't available? I'm sure there are podcasts on how to do this with Voiceover, or an article or something. How would I search for podcasts, I mean, what words would I enter? And does anyone know of a good article? Thanks, and iTunes rocks!! I got the 50 most essential pieces of classical music for eleven bucks!! Sweet!

Re: Help with iTuenes
That must be how I did it. Suddenly there was a store link and I was able to sign up. I was pressing everything and interacting with everything, so it must have been sources that I interacted with haha! Got it though, and was browsing books and couldn't figure out how to get back to the store, so I quit interacting and that worked. Its crazy when things suddenly work and you don't even know what you did lol!! Thanks Dan. Perseverance paid off this time while I was waiting for replies tee hee.

Help with iTuenes
Hi guys, I haven't used iTunes yet since buying my macbook in December. I opened it 2 days ago and it asked some preliminary set up questions and opens what I assume is the player. I've looked all over it and there's no way to access the store to do anything. I think I need a crash course. One of the questions it asked was if I wanted to download an upgrade and I didn't for some reason. Now I don't know how to tell it to get the upgrade. Could this be the problem? Don't know what to do with itunes. It doesn't make any sense haha.

Navigating by header
Hi folks, I'm learning my macbook and VO one thing at a time and its working great. I've come much farther since my first post to this group haha. Its time for me to start navigating by heading. How does this work, what are the VO commands, and do you do this with pages you're familiar with and then maybe go line by line on new pages? I've been resting on my laurels and not trying anything new, so its time to broaden my horizon. :) Thanks in advance, Randi --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Copying Text from a web page...
Max, this is how I do it too. As Mark mentioned though, this doesn't seem to work for larger areas of text. When I want to copy an entire email, I hit reply so that the passage I want is in an edit text field. Then I interact, select what I want and copy. Of course this doesn't work if there isn't a way to put the text into an edit field. Is Mark correct that VO just can't do this yet?

Re: Power issue on macbook
Ok that helsp clear it up. I think on the macbook its command function F5. Least thats what they taught me at the Apple store. As far as Alex using a lot of ram, its worth it.

Power issue on macbook
I probably need to take it in to the Apple store but wonder if any of you have experienced this. Sometimes I hear a pop, just a quiet one. The computer will freeze and then be fine. Today I heard a louder pop and nothing would happen when I hit keys. I could hear that it was on. I forced a shutdown and then it was fine. I should probably take it in right?

Can't register at mlb.com
Hi guys. I want to register on mlb.com so I can purchase the Gameday audio. Problem is, I can't access the register button. I called and the lady on the phone said the register button is located after you enter all the information, right after, "I want to recieve newsletters" etc checked check box. She said there is a green button to the right of that, but I do not hear "register button" or anything. Is this a Mac thing? Could anyone go there and try it? Its mlb.com and then click register. Just scroll past all the info to enter and see if there's a register button? Maybe there's something I need to do? Like maybe its in a frame or something? I don't know how to see if there are any frames. I'm just seriously frustrated. I know other visually impaired people use game day, and if its not mac accessible I think I'll scream. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Randi --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Software Update Problems - Please help
I realize that, but I don't remember if I set up a password, therefore I don't know the password. I'll try hitting enter next time though I think when I selected the restart it asked for the passwrod. The second part of my question was, is there a place to look up the password if I did set one? I've only been a Mac user for a few months, and was so excited the night I brought it home that I don't remember setting up a password.

Re: Poll Results
I hope its ok that I'm posting a reply here since everyone wants us to shut up, but I'm new to this list and couldn't get in for a bit and had no idea there was another list starting so is ok if I ask some questions? If you don't want to read this, move on to another thread. Sorry. I'm just not sure I even want to stay on this list, being a newbie and not knowing the rules, and finding it helpful to read other's posts. Anyway, simple question, if I'm automatically subscribed to this new list, where can I find it? I, too, do not like cluttered inboxes so I subscribe and read only online to avoid inbox clutter. Therefore, I do not know where the new list is. On this new list, since I missed all discussion and voting, will we be free to post at will? If so I think I'll join that one and leave this one? Sorry if I sound snarky, I just find people's posts helpful, yeah, one liners are annoying but sometimes I find a helpful tip on the fourth post down dot dot dot. Feel free to answer my questions privately so as not to bother people. Thanks, Randi PS, Kara you have more patience than I, tee hee.

Ichat freezing and Alex sleepy?
Man I couldn't get logged in here for a bit. Strange. Anyway, I'm successfully chatting in ichat now, using AIM and I've got a strange problem that occures. I'm going to try and explain and see if anyone knows what might be happening. I'm in a chat window and I type a message and hit enter. To get back to where I can read the messages, I VO left arrow and it says html content. I hit VO Shift down arrow to interact with html content. This usually works just fine. But sometimes it goes silent and then says, "welcome to macintosh, voiceover is running, finder, window, icon view" which is what it always says when I turn on the computer. I just VO down arrow again and it takes me back and I can read the messages. Sometimes though, when I'm going too fast, when it goes silent if I hit ay more keys, it'll freeze up ichat and any keys I hit just gets me a busy, busy, busy. I have to shut down and restart. I'll often be chatting in yahoo im too and it does not happen ever with yahoo and I do the same thing to navigate between where I read and where I type. Any thoughts? Also, and this is probably just my crazy imagination. I've been putting the macbook to sleep for a few days when I learned how haha. Just now, when I opened it, my addressbook had been up and it then read my ichat description, and I swear, Alex sounded sleepy. It sounded as though his speech had been slowed down but I haven't changed that. Then he sounded normal. Am I crazy? Did they actually make him sound sleepy when he wakes up? I thought I was nuts when I heard him breathe until I read that they did that on purpose to make him sound more human. Anyway, good to be back. I've learned a ton already from ya'll. Thanks, Randi Oh PS, when ichat freezes, I only rstart ichat, not the macbook. And, does anyone know how to retrieve the password? I tried doing the system update but it asked for a password and I don't remember setting up a password. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Facebook Users
Hi Elena, haha no worries about the subject. Its back to the original now that I've hit reply. I thought I'd need to edit it. Strange. I think we've got gremlins. I'm brand new to VO so all the stuff you said about facebook went right over my head haha. Maybe I'll make sense of it later though. Oh I'm jsust too sleepy.

Re: VO says "busy"...
I sure hope someone replies to this, as I've had it happen too. Normally in Safari when I'm scrolling a lot it'll say busy and then its ok. But yesterday in ichat it happend and would not stop so I quit the app and started again. I'd like to know too, though I suspect its just simply that its busy haha. At least it doesn't kill the whole system like it would in Windows.

Re: Facebook users
Ok, think I got it. Here: http://universallydesigned.net/uncategorized/facebook-the-good-bad-and-the-ugly/ It took some searching to find her actual blog. She'ss a windows user but she did talk about calling a support number. I'm not sure if she gives the number, but maybe you can tontact her. The mobile facebook site is at www.m.facebook.com The best thing about having my sighted friend help was, you can select an option to verify the account by text message so you never get the captias again. So she was able to do the text for me. rayna424 wrote: > I just had a friend help me set up facebook yesterday.

Re: Facebook users
I'm able to comment on my own status. H. Well if someone comments I can comment back. I can't seem to access profiles though. Sometimes I can just out of the blue and then other times I can't. That stupid so and so added a photo or commented yada yada thing is pretty silly, but so far the site is ok. Richie, I got a post in my techie forum with a link to a blog where someone said she called to get help setting up her account. I'll go try and find the link. I'm in a brain fog today though, so I might get lost in la la land. I had a sighted friend help me but it sounds like there's a way to get help. I'll go look for the link now. Wish me luck.

Re: Gmail notifier, anyone use?
Oh so it must be something I need to set in settings or something. But since gmail is web based, I don't think that would work. Gmail users, what kind of sound does it make, not using the notifier? Or did you have to set something? Richie Gardenhire wrote: > In my case, the sound I have for Mail Alert alerts me for all my > mailboxes; doesn't matter which one.

Re: Gmail notifier, anyone use?
So on the mac what kind of nose does gmail make without the notifier? I still haven't figured it out. When I notice a strange noise, I check for new mail but there isn't any.

Re: Facebook users
Hi Esther. I ended up speaking to someone on the phone and we went over the group mode thing. I think I'll wait on that until I get more comfortable haha. I'm finding that learning this like pealing an onion, and so far I've only taken off the thin dry outer coating haha. At least after my phone conversation, all those VO keys you mentioned made sense. I've learned some stuff from reading manuals and such, but find that the best way for me is by playing. And talking directly on the phone definitely makes more sense. I'll keep group mode in mind for future reference though, for sure. Thanks for your help!
