Re: Migrating to Mac mini

2025-01-23 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries
I don't believe you can, actually. Migration Assistant (which is also run 
post-install) shows you categories of information you'd like to transfer, but 
strangely, Applications is just a single category. I assume that the 
configuration data for your applications would be covered elsewhere, 
regardless. So I generally take the view that migrations should be all or 
nothing: either rely on it to completely restore your system, or don't use it 
at all and manually copy the data and apps you want out of your backups.

Good luck and have fun.

RE: Coming Back To Mac From Windows

2025-01-20 Thread pdevasto0219
Thank you for patiently trying to help me understand this. My older Mac Mini 
had thunderbolt 2 ports, which as I finally understand now after a little more 
research, is obsolete technology now that thunderbolt 3 and 4 are the standard. 
I did not realize that these ports take the standard USB-C connector. I now 
have a plan for whatever adapters I'm going to need for my new Mac Mini.

Thanks,
Pete

The confusion isn't unreasonable, really. This is the first Mac Mini, I think, 
which has identically-shaped ports with functionally different capabilities.

So to clarify: there are five USB-C ports: three rear, two front. The rear 
ports support both Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt 4 on the standard Mini with speeds 
up to 40 GBPS, Thunderbolt 5 on the Pro Mini with speeds up to 120 GBPS) and 
USB4, with speeds up to 40 GBPS, whilst the two on the front only support USB 
3.2 Gen2, with speeds up to 10 GBPS. You may then use USB adaptors to get an 
A-type port to connect your old accessories and docks.

I hope it helped.

Pete,
   Since I am looking to buy one, I checked the specs for the 3 mini M4 
devices. Same ports on all 3.


On front-
2 USB-C ports, headphone jack

On back-
3 TB-4 ports, HDMI, Ethernet

Hi Tim,

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.  I remember reading about VO focus bugs 
when 18 came out, but for whatever reason, I only just started experiencing 
them  myself either with the last 18.1 or the 18.2 update.  I can’t remember 
exactly when it started, because the first couple of times, I just thought it 
was a fluke.  Anyway, I will definitely try your suggestion next time.  I’ve 
tried turning VO on and off, but I hadn’t tried swiping to another page while 
VO was off.
Cheers,
Donna

I should add here that a couple years ago I replaced the original hard drive with an SSD because the original drive was showing profoundly degraded performance.  I suppose that could possibly account for the incongruence between our similar Mac minis although I believe that to be a “Red Herring” on the face of it.  But, I suppose that might account for the difference.At any rate, best of luck with your endeavor!- Bill from Bayfield County, Wisconsin- “More business is lost every year through”- “neglect than through any other cause.”- Rose Kennedy

Re: Why does my phone keep taking me to the App Library?

2025-01-19 Thread tim m

For your info, this happends to be a bug.

To get out just turn off voiceover and swipe left or right for another 
page. Then turn voiceover back on.


I did a screen share and file send for that bug and still no fix for it 
and a few more bugs, and that was when 18 first came out..

Hi Pete,

Well, I guess I’m glad I’m not the only one. :). I agree, it’s super 
annoying!  I think it has something to do with scrolling or swiping 
gestures not stopping when they should.  Because I’ve noticed a 
related problem.  Sometimes, when I swipe up to adjust music volume, 
it keeps going until the volume is at 100%.  This is easier to deal 
with, you just turn the volume back down using the side buttons, but 
it’s still kind of annoying.  The one thing that seems to be 
different about the App Library thing, is that it seems to happen 
most often when I’m unlocking my phone. And yeah, it’s impossible to 
exit the App Library when that happens.  Sometimes, I’ve been able to 
get out of the App Library by oping the app switcher, then going into 
an app from there, and then exiting to my Home Screen, but that 
doesn’t work all of the time.  Maybe I will go ahead and send it to 
Accessibility.

installer so that it no longer supports USB audio during initial setup. This is 
rumoured to affect both Intel and Apple Silicon. If so then, first of all, boo 
to Microsoft, and second you may have to rely on OCR or sighted help to get 
through that stage of the installation (unless you know how to use "Answer" 
files, which is a whole different kettle of fish).

Re: Coming Back To Mac From Windows

2025-01-18 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries
Correct, the 2014 Mac Mini runs, at least if one uses a supported 
configuration, macOS Monterey at the latest.

Fusion is now a free download, and you can use it to run the ARM64 version of 
Windows, which can also be freely downloaded but must then be activated by a 
valid license key (resellers of varying provenance are happy to sell you keys 
at a very reasonable price, but any existing key will also work if it’s not in 
use). I cannot stress enough, though, the need to upgrade the RAM from the base 
8 GB of the Mini in order to make this a good experience. Aim as high as you 
possibly can. Even then, you need to be aware that the ARM64 version of Windows 
is different from the x86-64 version (for Intel processors), and that 
especially where drivers and system software is concerned, there’s a high 
probability of incompatibility unless the vendor has provided software for the 
ARM version of Windows; software emulation of Intel processors only works for 
typical user-facing applications. So while moving to a new Mac Mini is highly 
encouraged, you need to think carefully about whether you can still do it all 
in one machine when you take your Windows apps into account. Check if the 
vendor provides the necessary drivers for Windows-on-ARM.

There is another thought that occurs. Depending on the age of your PC, you 
could consider using it just for those problematic Windows apps. It might be 
more tolerable if you nuke-and-pave and fresh-install everything, targeting 
unnecessary bloat and software. This is clearly a cost-saving exercise, because 
new Windows PCs are already pretty cheap, at the low end. Your 2014 Mac Mini, 
sadly, cannot run Windows 11, because the processor is far too old. It could 
continue to run Windows 10, but this puts it very close to end-of-life, unless 
you’re prepared to pay a subscription charge just to receive security updates. 
Maybe Microsoft will have a change of heart but I sincerely doubt this, so I 
don’t recommend taking your chances unless your PC can run Windows 11. Having 
access to both machines provides a simple, if less elegant, solution to the 
problem of compatibility with Windows apps.

The new Minis have 3 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A ports, as well as Ethernet, audio 
and HDMI. You can of course connect downstream ports through docks via 
Thunderbolt or USB using either type of port. The Mini is powered by a 
dedicated power socket.

Re: Coming Back To Mac From Windows

2025-01-17 Thread mr.robertcole via MacVisionaries
Hi,
I got Windows 11 Arm running on my m4 Mac Mini.
After jumping through some hoops getting the free home use version of VMWare 
Fusion downloaded,
I was able to install Windows 11 Arm.
I had to use VOCR to read the screen after starting the VM.
It was on a boot screen. pressing enter started the setup process.
I cant be sure, But I think I used my USB sound card to use Narrator while 
installing.
You can download Windows 11 from the VMWare Fusion app when creating the new VM.

Re: Coming Back To Mac From Windows

2025-01-17 Thread Bradford Snyder
The new Mac mini has 3 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports on the rear, and 2 USB-C ports 
on the front of the device.
That is a total of 5 ports, not 6.

Re: Coming Back To Mac From Windows

2025-01-17 Thread 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries

Pete,
   y plan is to but the new Mac mini and after it is setup and working, 
I will ditch VMware and Windows because VMware would need to be upgraded 
for sequoia. I don't need Windows that much anymore.


   Oh indeed, another good reason to go through this is to be inline 
with iOS 18.


   I will likely order the Mac mini next month. So while waiting, I 
will clean up Windows then go from there.

capabilities plus how well the new Mini sounds like it would nicely

I'm also getting into doing some podcasting for the first time, and the
folks I'm working with seem to really be more in favor of using Apple
systems, so that's another reason I'm thinking to make the move.

  


I'd really appreciate any tips or guidance anyone can give me, and once
again I do apologize for repeating this question.

Re: Displaying sender info

2025-01-16 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries
Interesting is right. I’ve never known disabling smart addresses to do 
anything—certainly not show me email addresses, as promised.

But there’s a convenient way to get the address. Interact with the “Header” 
area, and use VO-Shift-Left and VO-Shift-Right to precisely target the embedded 
sender’s name which will appear as a single object. Press VO-Space, and you get 
a nice menu showing you the address, and an option to copy it to the 
pasteboard. This always works.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

Re: Displaying sender info

2025-01-16 Thread Bradford Snyder
That’s interesting.
I am running macOS 15.2, Sequoia, and when I go to Mail Settings > Viewing, and 
turn off "Use Smart Addresses", the senders email address is displayed in the 
message header.
Perhaps after turning off Use Smart Addresses, you should close, and then 
reopen the Mail app, and see if the sender’s full address is displayed in the 
message header.

Alternatively, when in the message header, try interacting with the sender’s 
name, and then opening the Shortcut menu using VO + Shift + M, and see if the 
address info is available there.

HTH.

Re: Charging Ray-ban glasses?

2025-01-15 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries
Pete, I’m confused.  I have the case, so that’s not an issue.  Is there any 
reason to purchase a special charger?
Thanks,
Donna

RE: Charging Ray-ban glasses?

2025-01-15 Thread pdevasto0219
Donna,

You hopefully already know this, but while you can, in fact, charge your 
glasses with any USB cable and charger, you're not going to be able to get 
firmware updates for the glasses. That could affect how much you'll be able to 
use them in the future with apps like Aira or Be My Eyes. If you have the means 
to do it, it probably would be best to go get a case from the meta store. You 
just need the case, any USB cable will work.

Pete

I wanted clear lenses, and Amazon didn’t have them, so I ordered them direct

Where did you order them from? I got mine from Amazon, and my bundle did

double-check to see if you can find a "what's included" section in the

Re: YouTube to MP3 app by humanware

2025-01-14 Thread Bradford Snyder
First of all, the application YouTube to MP3 is from a company called 
MediaHuman, not Humanware.
I have been using this application on my Mac for years, and while it isn’t 
perfect, I find it to be accessible enough to where I have no problem using it.
I have it installed on my 2022 Mac Studio, running macOS 15.2 Sequoia, and just 
used it to successfully convert a YouTube URL to an MP3 file without issue.

If you are having a problem using this app, I suggest going to the 
MediaHuman.com  website, and downloading the latest 
release, and replace whatever version you currently have, with the latest 
update.

HTH.

Re: Can Meta Glasses read text?

2025-01-13 Thread Jessica Moss
It takes some patience, but I’ve done anything from asking them “look and tell 
me what’s in this can” to “look and read the text on this box” for example.  
Since these glasses are relying on AI, and not OCR, you just have to do a lot 
of playing around with different phrases in regard to asking them what you want 
them to do, and figure out what responses produce the results you want.

Re: Blind apples subscription info, (wasRe: Some Comments from Moderator Mark)

I hear quite a few discussions about Mac stuff over there, not just iOS. In 
some ways, consolidating a community can have benefits. Just wish groups.io 
<http://groups.io/> didn’t have their subscription policy for new lists (yes, 
it can get pricey if one has a new list and a lot of members subscribing).

Well, if it’s my user error, then it’s a lot of other people‘s as well. If 
you’ve been following this thread, several of us are having the same issue. I’m 
finding that gestures to exit don’t  work consistently. So, the three finger 
gesture that you mentioned, sometimes works but, but often does not. The same 
with the gesture that Brad mentioned. Swiping up with one finger sometimes 
works, but sometimes does not. It’s a weird voice over focus thing. I’m glad 
for you that you’re not experiencing it, but apparently several of us are.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Why does my phone keep taking me to the App Library?

2025-01-12 Thread Chanelle Allen
I get stuck in the App Library when connecting or disconnecting my Braille 
display unless I make sure that focus is inside an app. I am using iOS 18.2 on 
an iPhone 13 Pro. I cannot use my braille display to get out of the App 
Library. I either have to do the home gesture or swipe three fingers, then 
touch somewhere in the middle of the screen for focus to be placed on my home 
screen. I have tried disabling the settings relating to library. Also, when 
using the three finger swipe gesture to close an app in the app switcher, 
sometimes the wrong app is closed. I rely entirely on VoiceOver and never let 
anyone else touch my phone.
Regards,
Chanelle

Re: Why does my phone keep taking me to the App Library?

2025-01-12 Thread 'Andrew' via MacVisionaries
I feel we should all be reporting these issues to Apple Accessibility so that 
Accessibility in general won’t slip and drift towards unacceptable.  I can’t 
imagine giving up Voiceover and yet recently it’s crossed my mind.  That would 
mean giving up Apple and it would be a costly and difficult upheaval.

Re: Why does my phone keep taking me to the App Library?

2025-01-12 Thread Brad Snyder
I am not experiencing any issues with the app library, and find its behavior no 
different than in earlier versions of iOS.
To exit the app library, simply put your finger at the bottom of the screen and 
drag up to the first pop, then lift your finger. This will return you to the 
screen immediately to the left of the app library screen.
Repeat the same gesture to return to the home screen, or as it is sometimes 
called, screen number one.

HTH.

I’m centrally interested in discussing the Mac as well, thus I think there’s 
room for a Mac-oriented VoiceOver and accessibility mailing list which isn’t 
dominated by iOS users who aren’t also Mac users.

The address to subscribe is blindapples+subscr...@groups.io . If you have a

well. You can't post to the list address until you're a subscriber.

Bear in mind that this list is for all Apple, which means it's dominated by iOS 
users. For myself, this is tolerable, but I am mostly on this list to talk

RE: Why does my phone keep taking me to the App Library?

2025-01-12 Thread pdevasto0219
This begs the following question: Some of you either have enough vision not to 
need Voiceover, or maybe you can grab a sighted friend or partner, but I'd love 
to know if this happens only when Voiceover is running, or does it happen when 
VO isn't running.

Subject: Re: Why does my phone keep taking me to the App Library?

Hi Pete,

Well, I guess I’m glad I’m not the only one. :). I agree, it’s super annoying!  
I think it has something to do with scrolling or swiping gestures not stopping 
when they should.  Because I’ve noticed a related problem.  Sometimes, when I 
swipe up to adjust music volume, it keeps going until the volume is at 100%.  
This is easier to deal with, you just turn the volume back down using the side 
buttons, but it’s still kind of annoying.  The one thing that seems to be 
different about the App Library thing, is that it seems to happen most often 
when I’m unlocking my phone.  And yeah, it’s impossible to exit the App Library 
when that happens.  Sometimes, I’ve been able to get out of the App Library by 
oping the app switcher, then going into an app from there, and then exiting to 
my Home Screen, but that doesn’t work all of the time.  Maybe I will go ahead 
and send it to Accessibility.
Cheers,
Donna

Donna,

This happens to me too, and it's driving me nuts! Only way I've reliably found 
to get out of it is to restart the phone. You can ask Siri: "hey siri, restart 
my device". She'll ask if you really want to do it, you say yes, and the phone 
is back up in a few seconds after you enter your pass code.

No, I have no Rogue Amoeba apps and it happens to me as well on Sonoma. There

Re: Some Comments from Moderator Mark

2025-01-11 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries
Well, FWIW, I am on quite a few Discourse boards I find interesting, and I’m 
glad the “Mailing List Mode” feature is there, but honestly, it’s probably 
easier to just go to the board and reply there, at least on desktop. It’s 
bloated, but it’s not impossibly inaccessible. Also, yes, you can “Follow” just 
the topics/boards you’re interested in; that “Mailing List Mode” setting is 
somewhat misnamed, in that you must use the correct address to reach the right 
board (or reply to a post you have received). It’s a neat trick, when you can 
get it, but it’s not a pinch on a proper mailing list.

By contrast, I’m not on any Mailman3 or Sympa lists, that I’m aware of. This is 
strange, but it probably has something to do with the fact that both are very, 
very complex pieces of software, with large dependency lists; the transition 
from Mailman2 (which, in a distant and rosy past, even *I* thought was too 
heavy) doesn’t seem to have gone as quickly as perhaps the project hoped. What 
I have seen of them, though, does suggest that they are friendlier to us than 
most modern forum software. And Mailman3 has moved away from the silly 
requirement to use per-list passwords, greatly easing its use from a user 
perspective.

freelists.org  was still using Ecartis, the last time I 
checked. This is obsolete software, but while I ranted at Mailman2 for being 
bloated, this was what I used too. It was lovely. Unfortunately, it’s not 
really fit for our modern world, particularly in its MIME support. Guess that’s 
what you get for writing it in C.

Even though most of this software now has a web interface, I can’t think of 
software that doesn’t have an email interface of some sort. ezmlm-idx and mlmmj 
are still used to power some of the lists I’m on, and they’re email-only. The 
convention of listname+subscribe@ and listname+unsubscribe@ is something very 
much borrowed from these two spirit sisters of the original ezmlm. For 
blindness lists, I doubt there’s really much need for more than this, for most 
purposes, where these sorts of discussion drop boxes are concerned. It is 
surprising (and, honestly, delightful) to me that we keep using the email 
interface, simply because it’s intuitive and works. mlmmj is a compelling 
option if you don’t use the qmail mail server, which no right-thinking person 
does any more. :)

Cheers,
Sabahattin

Re: In Login ... Window ... Content is empty

2025-01-11 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
So Sequoia seems to have fixed this blather bug! :) I've been up for
some 16 hours now and haven't heard this once.

PS: How I managed previously was to silence speech by tapping twice with
three fingres on the touchpad. Of course that also meant I had to
remember to turn speech back on when next I wanted to use my Macbook! :)

Bear in mind that this list is for all Apple, which means it's dominated by iOS

Hi Mary, yes you and quite a few others have moved over there already. I think 
I counted, and there has been at least 15 people that have moved over there. 
Anybody wishing to still move over there can be more than welcomed. As we can 
have an unlimited membership because of when our group was created. So yes, 
most definitely come on. Come on. Let's go. Subscription info is below.

blindapples+subscr...@groups.io

And one of her I went to go look for the subscription address I see that we 
already have one more pending member. So if more people wanna apply, go ahead. 
I will approve all subscriptions by midnight central. So that way y'all can 
start posting right away.

Re: Some Comments from Moderator Mark

2025-01-09 Thread 'Jason J.G. White' via MacVisionaries
Mailman3 and Sympa are the two options that seem to be attracting community 
issues in the communities I frequent.

The difficulty with Discourse (and this may have changed) is that it used to 
treat the entire forum as though it were a single mailing list. You couldn’t 
subscribe to one subforum only without receiving everything else as well. This 
is why the Orca screen reader mailing list moved to freelists.org instead of 
becoming a Discourse forum.

So far as VoiceOver accessibility is concerned, I haven’t tried Mailman3, Sympa 
(assuming it has a Web interface) or Discourse in a macOS environment. However, 
they’re all widely available and shouldn’t be hard to test.

Thunderbird certainly works, but not being a "native" app, is noticeably quite

For $10 US per month (perhaps even $5 US per month), you could rent a Linux 
virtual server, install mailing list server software on it, configure 
everything appropriately, and run as many mailing lists as resources allow. 
Prices in Euro are similar if you prefer a European hosting provider.

I don’t know whether there are good no cost options. Freelists.org might be one 
of them, but I’m not acquainted with the details of what they offer.

Hi!
I rather use the Iphone instead for the Mac calendar.
Its a bit smoother than the Mac app.
To be honest the Mac annoys me more and more when it comes to usability now 
than it has done before.

Re: Native Calendar App w/ Sequoia OS

2025-01-09 Thread 'Jason J.G. White' via MacVisionaries
I use the calendar in Microsoft Outlook for Mac these days. It comes with my 
Microsoft 365 subscription. That’s why I’m not using Apple’s Mail, Calendar or 
Contacts significantly.

From: 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries 
Date: Thursday, January 9, 2025 at 09:20
To: MacVisionaries 
Subject: Re: Native Calendar App w/ Sequoia OS
Hi,

Not yet running Sequoia,  but I’ve also found the calendar very hard to use.  
Generally, I just create my appointments using dictation on my phone, or, like 
Jessica, the Add to Calendar feature if there is one.
Cheers,
Donna
