The popup is helpful but you can also get that information by doing vo-shift-h on items with help tags and then you can go ahead and label items by using vo-slash.

Re: vlc: adding to media library solved
This was driving me crazy because I managed to add a playlist accidentally to the vlc media library but still didn't know how I had done it. Furthermore, I read some posts that said this could no longer be done but since I had done it accidentally I knew this couldn't be right. Finally I decided to try drag and drop which I would have tried sooner had I not read that it doesn't work. For anybody who might want to do this, here's what I did: (1) I opened a folder in vlc using open file in vlc and navigating to the folder. 2. I saved the folder as a playlist with cmd-s. 3. I switched in the table (sort of like a sources table) to media library and then navigated to the table that showed what was in the library. 4. I went to finder and opened the folder where the playlist was and did vo-comma to mark it for drag-and-drop. 5. I turned cursor tracking off (may not be necessary but seems to work more reliably for me). 6. I used the window chooser to get back to vlc and I was still in the library media table there. 7. I did vo-period to drag the playlist (I tried vo-lessthan and vo-greaterthan but they didn't work). 8. I turned cursor tracking back on so I wouldn't start trying to do things with cursor tracking off and end up thinking something was terribly wrong. I've done two playlists this way and I imagine there's no reason why I couldn't drag individual files or folders instead of making playlists. Now that I know how to do it, I can play with it.

Re: Deleting audible books in iTunes for Donna
Okay, maybe I'm missing something here; maybe you want to do something more than I am thinking but I'm having no problems deleting audible books from iTunes. I did this on a Mac so if you are talking about iTunes in Windows maybe this won't help. i chose books from the pop-up. At first I then chose audiobooks from the radio buttons but when I interacted I had some trouble making sure I only had one book selected. Not wanting to accidentally delete all audibooks I then chose list from the radio buttons. But later I was also able to select with the audiobooks radio button chosen. In both cases, I did vo-shift-m which brought up a context menu. One of the choices was delete. I was asked if I really wanted to delete. In the case of doing it from list only one part of an audiobook was selected but when deleting using the audiobooks radio button all parts of a book were chosen so that's why when using the audiobooks radio button and deleting a book with more than one part you'll be asked if you want to delete the selected audiobooks. I confirmed that I wanted to delete and was asked if I wanted to keep the files or move them to trash. I made my choice and the book was deleted.

Re: Deleting audible books in iTunes for Donna
Can you explain specifically what happens when you do vo-shift-m? And I know this is going to sound obvious, but are you interacting with the books table? I ask that only because at one point I couldn't do vo-shift-m and realized that while it said the book was selected I wasn't interacting. There has to be a reason why this is happening and hopefully somebody can get to the bottom of it. But it can't be that iTunes has been changed not to allow deletion of audible books or nobody would be able to do it, which I know may not seem very encouraging at this point.

Re: Deleting audible books in iTunes for Donna
I wonder if it's because you are not using the list radio button and therefore all or none of the books are being selected instead of the one you wanted. In fact, the two of you with opposite problems could both possibly be experiencing a selection problem. I know that I was having a problem selecting just one book, or at least being sure I was selecting just one book, when I selected the audiobooks radio button; when I switched to the list radio button I was able to select one book and know I had done that and then when I switched back to the audiobooks radio button again the problem I had experienced there was gone. Just remember that you don't have to choose to send the books to the trash; you chan choose to keep the files and then go into finder and check that everything is okay and send them to the trash yourself. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Deleting audible books in iTunes for Donna
Yes, when you have books selected in your pop-up there are then five radio buttons: audiobooks, books, pdfs, authors, and list. I imgine some of those might be missing say if you didn't have any pdfs but i'm not sure about that. The radio buttons are immediately to the right of the pop-up where you have books selected if you do a vo-right-arrow. If you don't have these radio buttons, something in your settings must be different from mine. I don't know what that would be but it should give you hope because it means you should be able to have these radio buttons if you explore your settings. Sorry I don't know what to tell you specifically what to do for your settings. Again, the order you have is: the search library field, the pop-up where you presumably chose books and then the five radio buttons.To the right of this is the pop-up that shows devices like iPhones, iPads, etc. if you have them (mine are wifi-connected so I don't know if this shows in everybody's) and then the itunes store button.

Re: Itunes 11 and sorting (NOT)
This isn't just with iTunes 11; the same thing has always happened in iTunes when the id tags are not the kind that iTunes recognizes or are in some way messed up.

Re: How to change the tags in multiple aac files.
Actually, it may not be that big a mess in iTunes but it depends on what is in the other fields. If you go ahead and import them into the iTunes library and then select all of them and do a cmd-i on them, you can change the composer on all of them at once if the composer is the same for all of them. Once you do that, iTunes will reorganize them appropriately. But if you are going to have trouble finding and selecting them all at once, you may be right about it being a mess. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: How to change the tags in multiple aac files.
That's right; you don't uncheck the box to keep your files organized. Either you have to find another editor to do this or you select groups of tracks and apply the composer change to all of them at once; you get a prompt from iTunes wanting to know if you really want to work on multiple tracks but it works fine and your files and albums are reorganized as you do this. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: iTunes Library location?
I'm pasting in instructions for moving your iTunes Media folder; as I recall, I got them from iLounge or Apple; I know that when I wanted to change from iTunes Music to iTunes Media a long time ago there was a detailed iLounge article that I read. . These instructions don't talk about moving the library files themselves; in fact, the library data files are left in their original place. But I used these instructions just a few months ago with somebody and they worked fine so maybe you will find them helpful. Just remember that if you have terabytes of media files, it could take iTunes a while to load and you could get some of those wonderful busy signals. This was written with itunes 9 mostly in mind but I helped somebody use them with iTunes; haven't check to make sure instructions are still the same for iTunes 11. Open iTunes. From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences. Click the Advanced button in the Preferences window. Click the Change button in the iTunes Media folder location pane. In the Change Media Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new iTunes Media folder to be created. Note: By default, your iTunes Media folder is a folder named iTunes Media in ~/Music/iTunes/ where the tilde ~ represents your home directory. Click the New Folder button in the Change Media Folder Location window. In the New Folder window that appears, enter the name of the new iTunes Media folder. Click Create. Click Open in the Change Media Folder Location window. Click OK in the Advanced window. From the File menu, choose Library and then Organize Library if using iTunes 9. If you're using iTunes 7 or iTunes 8 for Mac, choose File Library and then Consolidate Library. In the Organize Library (or Consolidate Library) window, select Consolidate files. Click OK. A message appears that says: Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes Media folder. This cannot be undone. Click Consolidate. Important: This action copies all of your music and media files to the new location. There must be enough hard disk space available to copy all of your music and media files. After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Media folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Media folder. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Hi, There's two ways of approaching this. First is to leave the media where it is and let iTunes simply mark where everything is in its Library Database file. In theory, this could be accomplished by first going to iTunes Prefs in the Advanced pane and unchecking the box that tells iTunes to Copy items to the iTunes Media folder. Next, you would go under the File menu and choose Add to Library (cmd-o), navigate to the external HD where all your media is, then pressing the Open button on the parent directory of all the media on that drive. The only issue with this method is that I seem to recall that iTunes does not always pay attention to that preference when your importing from external HDs. If it works as this plan suggests though, you'd have everything accessible to iTunes and all your devices with only the Database file residing on the Mac's internal HD. In the second option, you'll need to create either a new iTunes Library on that external HD or move your existing iTunes folder over to that external HD. In this case, when you add the media to iTunes, it will copy everything into the iTunes folder and place them all into the proper locations that iTunes needs in order to work properly and properly share with the Apple TV and other iDevices. This is the method that I use myself. The only problem could be that iTunes will try to copy all your media into the new iTunes media location. If you have enough space on your external HD to handle multiple copies of the media during this Library creation process, then you'll be OK. If you do not, you will need to be creative with where you put

Specificly, what happens is that whenever any notification now pops up, rather than showing up for about 5 seconds or less, the notification doesn't fade.

Oh, and one other annoyance I wish Apple would rectify before the next major release of the OS, is this VoiceOver password chittering issue. I'm constantly turning VoiceOver off and on nearly every time an authentication dialog is received, and only a few do not produce this issue. I can deal with it, but again, it's a bit distracting. Any help pertaining to both these issues that I have brought up in this email and VoiceOver is much appreciated. Have a great rest of the day, folks. -- Sincerely, Keith Home Phone: 928-554-3936 Mobile Phone: 928-713-6370 Primary email: keithint1...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: please can some one recommend an accessible alternative to iTunes that will allow me to mannege my current iTunes libary and iPod?
That is because your tracks are not correctly identified as far as iTunes is concerned. Yu can fix this by doing cmd-i in iTunes on each track and changing the track number but if you have a lot of misidentified or not-identified albums like I do, that is easier said than done. I think I would wholeheartedly love iTunes had I been able to predict the future and waited a few years to rip all my albums and give away the originals. If track order is your only problem, there might be a program or script out there that could redo them if you put them in the right order. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

If my personal choice is something that is not Apple, it doesn't mean I'm a hater. It's a personal choice. I too am not very happy with iTunes. This has been the case from day one. I understand that iTunes is suppose to make it easy to organize your library. I agree, if the library is 5000 songs. But if I just want to add 1 song to my iPhone, I have to go through the lengthy process of adding it to iTunes, then sync it with my iPhone, and then wait 5 minutes while iTunes checks everything else.

I've lost the ability to manually sync my iPhone to iTunes 11. So, at this rate, I may have to look for an alternative as well. Also, I'm becoming more disenfranchised with the Apple Paradigm lately as well. I want more of my music library on my iPhone 4, and the iPhone 5 is not on any prepaid carrier, and the sim card is a different size, so I can't even buy an unlocked 5 and put it on my carrier. This doesn't mean I hate Apple myself, only that I'm wondering about the way things are headed. Also, they only give you the option to switch iTunes to classic mode at installation, so there's no switching once you've chosen unless you do some sort of hack.

Re: EBook reader for Mac?
Adobe Digital Editions works on the Mac but it still doesn't automatically scroll pages which does slow things down some. If one really hates that, it is possible to copy and paste each page into an editor like Text Edit and then either turn it into audio or read with the editor. Just remember that to copy from Digital editions you have to use the copy phrase (vo-shift-c) instead of the usual copy command. Admitedly this is also time-consuming but does work. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: EBook reader for Mac?
Yes, this is correct; I apologize if you were asking about iBooks.

Well, it does seem strange that command and option wouldn't work normally. It can't be a voiceover-combination problem per se since command has nothing to do with vo combinations.

Note that you made what I think is a typo: I think you mean 641gb not 641tb: correct? 4. Are you losing space on your hard drive or on the external partition where you are backing up with superduper or on some other partition of the external drive? If it's your hard drive, I don't think superduper is putting 400gb of log files etc. on your hard drive. 5. Did you erase the backup partition using disk utility before running the superduper application? I do remember a time when I ran superduper and for some reason it couldn't erase the partition? 6. Have you checked how much space is being used on the partition where your superduper backup is and have you booted into it to see if it is working properly? 7. Have you received any messages from superduper saying the backup couldn't be completed or has it failed to complete? I'm sorry to make things complicated by asking for more information but I really will try to help if you can clarify things for me. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Parallels or Fusion for running virtualized OSX with Voiceover?
Why not just have a separate user account created for yourself instead of a vm? I suppose it could even be an account without administrative permissions though that might create some problems. It seems to me that if you want to get an experience using Mac OS and you have a Mac to use, you are just adding another layer of complication by making a vm instead. Not trying to argue if this is really what you want to do but I really think you would be better off just running Mac OS on the Mac in the normal way. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: mac mini
Did you solve this yet? I can tell you how to keep it from happening in the future if you are able to log in. Go into System Preferences Bluetooth. In Advanced are two checkboxes: one opens bluetooth setup assistant if no keybopard is detected; the other opens it if no mouse or trackpad is detected. You probably only need the second one but you can decide that. As for logging in, if you haven't solved that, when bluetooth setup assistant pops up, try one of the following (these aren't necessarily in a herarchical order): command-tab instad of doing cmd-q vo-f2 twice to see if you get a window chooser though I think maybe not. vo-f2 twice in the window that says authentication has no windows) turning voiceover on and off in that authentication has no windows area. Or just log in with both a keyboard and mouse attached and you shouldn't get that window at all. Then you can fix the problem in System Preferences as described above.

Re: mac mini
So glad yuou found a solution! When voiceover first came available several years ago, some people had problems getting voiceover to start up. So with the first two minis I got, I ended up having to reinstall completely just in order to get started the first time - talk about making a newbie sink or swim! I could have waited for sighted help but I, like you, was impatient and didn't want to do that. So I'm not surprised that you took the course you did and I'm glad it worked for you.

However, this time, I encrypted my disk, so that I would get my login prompt way before any bluetooth stuff would pop up. As it is now, the mini asks for my credentials 1 second after boot up starts, because that's the way filevault handles encryption for the whole disk. After you enter them, it boots straight to the desktop and there's no further authentication windows. So now, I was already logged in, but I did still get the dialog asking for a trackpad or mouse.

Now for my questions. 1. Can we not type in grade 2 and have it translate? 2. How do I type an exclaimation mark? 3. If dot 5 is the at simble, then how do I do my quote marks? Is that still low h to start, and low j to end like in grade 2? 4. How do I do a question mark? 5. Are my left and right parenthesis still written with the o f sign, and the with sign or do I do that more like grade 2, with low g both ways, etc. I dono... There are just enough things here that do not seem to follow correct braille standard from what I can see, that I really am not totally sure until I understand why they couldn't have incorporated correct braille characterization that make this a major! major major! deal breaker for me. Plus, I'd like to know if grade 2's an option. If it is, and someone can explain to me why such strange ways of writing some a those characters, then? I might! key word, might! consider buying it, but I need some clarification first. I'm not trying to complain, believe me. It's just that when I've been tought correct braille, it's very confusing trying to change to another form which may as wel almost be it's own seperet braille table in itself. Maybe I'm just too picky, I dono, but I'd rather it be done correctly, ya know? Thank you kindly, Christopher-Mark Gilland.

Re: audio highjack pro
Can you give a little more detail about what confuses you? You choose the safari session from the components and sessions list; You choose your recording settings from the recording tab; you check the hijack box and the record button and the mute button if you want it or as ray pointed out use the keyboard shortcuts. It seems simple to me but I've been using it for a long time so I would think of it that way. Please enlarge on where you need help. I believe safari opens when you check the hijack box but I'm not sure because I usually already have safari going and on what I want to record if it's something live. I think the safari session is already in the components and sessions list and you don't have to create the session. If you have to do that or if you are trying to schedule a time for it to start, that could call for a little more instruction but even that shouldn't be too difficult.

Re: audio highjack pro
Yes, I just check and uncheck the record box in the toolbar rather than doing the keyboard shortcut but maybe the keyboard shortcut is a toggle. In the component and session list is something called recording bin and that's how you access your recordings in audio hijack pro though you can also just go to the directory they are in with finder and open them. That's all I have time to write right this minute but will try to get back to you with more later if somebody else doesn't. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

If you check the highjack and the record boxes, do you still have to do command r to start recording? How do you stop recording? I can't find a stop button or keyboard shortcut. Can you play recordings from within audio highjack pro? I can't find a way to do that. I see where it saves them. Do you ever use the command g keystroke which is supposed to be a quick record button? How do people record a microphone and VO at the same time, such as in many of the podcasts on Applevis? It seems like you either have to choose between system audio, application, device or am/fm radio? If you choose a Safari session, do you need to change the input settings or will it automatically select the right one? Once I get the hang of the broad concepts I'll be fine I'm sure.

Re: Moving mail from one mailbox to another.
maybe he isn't quite in the right area. First have him make sure he is in the messages table; he can't be just in the messages column group which has both the sorting menu and the messages table; he must interact with or at least be focused on the messages table itself. Then he must do command-a to select all. then do ctrl-option-shift-m to go into the shortcut menu. type m for move and when he lands there he would do a right arrow and would be in the list of mailboxes. There should be no problem with this. Move to and copy to are both in the shortcut menu but what you see in the shortcut menu depends on where your focus is. So the only thing I can think of is that the focus is not on the messages table itself. One way to make this simpler might be to go to classic view in mail; then it may be easier to determine that he is really focused on the messages table itself. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

It sounded to me like he wanted to move all of them which would seem to indicate there was more than one. If he doesn't do cmd-a and he thought he was moving all of them, it won't work.

Re: audio hi-jack pro the one method to record simultaneous sources at once. Please help
When you hijack the program, you are able to control it: for instance mute it and I think change volume though I don't think we can do that accessibly; of course we can mute it with the mute checkbox. The record checkbox actually records. Also, I like the fact that you don't have to hop between windows if you are hijacking from more than one source or application. Everything is controlled by simply going to the item in the Components and Session list and setting and monitoring your settings for that source. I also like the fact that in recording I can set it up to handle silent periods by stopping or starting a new file or omitting the silent periods. That way when something I am recording stops while I am not thee to attend to it I don't have minutes or hours of silence on the recording. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: 55.1 speakers w/ mac mini -- is there adapter available?
Also, once you get it hooked up, at least with my old mac mini, there were settings to change in Utilities Audio Midi Setup for using the speakers more fully. I remember this from having used a 5.1 surround system with my old mini but it had a controller you plugged the speakers into and just one plug to be plugged into the computer so I can't say anything about adapters. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: question about downloading files
Actually, at least sometimes, there is a way. I'm sure there are different ways of doing this but here's what I did. I discovered this when I was having trouble getting files to download from Christianbook.com and nothing else, not even the context menu or option enter or assigning a key combination to right click, worked. 1. I went into System Preferences trackpad. in the first tab, point and click, I checked secondary click and I chose click in bottom right corner. You can also choose click in left bottom corner or click with two fingers. Now when I'm having trouble downloading something, I first make sure my mouse is on the link I want to download; I do this by having my voiceover cursor on the link and then doing cmd-option-ctrl-f5 (with fn if necessary) to move the mouse to the link and then doing vo-f5 (with fn if necessary, depending on the function keys checkbox in Keyboard in System Preferences) to make sure the mouse really did move (sometimes it doesn't). Then I try pressing the bottom right corner of the trackpad. If successful, this brings up a context menu but it has more items usually than just the context menu you get with vo-shift-m would have. One of those items is save linked file as This brings up the save dialog you are wanting.

Getting vo-keys on both sides of the keyboard: offshoot of: Mac Air Users Question
If you use keyremap4macbook, you can get modifiers on both sides of the keyboard. What I do is change return to be return when pressed by itself but control when placed in combination. So on the right side of the keyboard, I have command and option and by reaching just a little and adding return I have vo keys. I also happen to use the configuration that allows caps lock to be voiceover keys so I have two options on the left side. They are some other ways to set up the right side of your keyboard with keyremap4macbook so you could play around with it if you are interested and maybe find something that works for you. I also like having vo-keys on both sides so I used the larger old bluetooth Apple keyboard until it died and also still do have the usb keyboard with the full numeric keypad.

What you can do is: configure the trackpad that you can activate the functions of voiceover that you should normally do with the right voiceover keys. Since you can more easily activate the trackpad with both hands, this could be perhaps a solution. If you need assistance how to assign functions to you trackpad , mail me or the list.

Re: Hiding the Preview Pane in Mail
Here's a post of Tim Kilburn's on this subject; it helped me when nothing else completely did. Try the following. 1. Removing the Preview Pane in Classic layout: • Navigate to the Horizontal Splitter that is to the right of the Messages table. • Press VO-cmd-f5 (add FN if needed). This will bring the mouse to the VO cursor and announce where the mouse is and it should read Horizontal Splitter. • Double-click on your Trackpad or alternatively, you can press near the top of the Trackpad and drag to the bottom. Make sure in this case that you actually make the Trackpad button depress so that the drag action will work. 2. Removing the Preview Pane for non-Classic layout: • Navigate to the Vertical Splitter just to the right of the Messages Column Group. • Press VO-cmd-f5 (add FN if necessary) to bring the mouse to the VO cursor. It will announce Vertical Splitter if it did what it was supposed to do. • Double-click on the Trackpad or alternatively, put your finger near the left hand side of the Trackpad, then drag to the far right and release. As in the first case, make sure that you depress the Trackpad button so that the dragging process will occur. Note that in the Classic layout, you are dealing with a Horizontal Splitter and in the non-Classic layout, you are dealing with a Vertical Splitter. Each case requires a different dragging direction if you choose that option. There are a couple of ways of determining if it worked. Firstly, you can navigate around the Mail screen and if you don't hear anything about Message Content Area, life is good. The second method is a little more complicated but tells you for sure. In Classic layout, navigate to the Horizontal Splitter to the right of the New Mailbox Action menu. You'll notice two Horizontal splitters, one after the Messages Table and this one that I'm talking about. Once you've located this Horizontal Splitter, Interact with it and press VO-down. Vo will announce Collapsed which is what you want to hear. In non-Classic layout, navigate to the Vertical Splitter just to the right of the Messages Column Group and Interact with it. Press VO-right and VO will announce Collapsed if the Preview pane is gone. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Hiding the Preview Pane in Mail
First of all, these aren't my suggestions; as I explained they are a previous post by Tim Kilburn. Secondly, different things work better for different people, depending on your experience and what your computer is doing. The reason for the comments about using fn if necessary is that you can have f1 f2, f3, etc. set to be used as standard function keys in System Preferences Keyboard and your setting determines whether or not the fn key is also needed. as for the trackpad stuff, some people choose to use the trackpad more than others but it's a good idea at least to become familiar with trackpad and mouse terminology to some extent because there may be times when that's the only way you can accomplish the task even if that method isn't usually your preference. This terminology isn't actually unprecise. But certainly each of us finds that one way of performing a task is easier than anothr and this preference varies from person to person. It's good to have more than one way of doing things. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

I'm just so not used to being able to use the mouse/trackpad so accessibly as I haven't quite been on the Mac for a year yet. However, where possible I do like to use the trackpad as a mouse as this tends to get more reliable results. I guess it's how Apple intended most users to perform various actions. I tend to use it a lot with Mail. Still, didn't think to use it in this case until suggested. I'm now a very happy camper! Thanks again, Alex, Cheryl and Tim!

Re: Mac Air Users Question
Oh good idea! I should use keyboard commander more than I do! Will do some experimenting with that. There are just so many tools that one has to be reminded of them sometimes. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

I might try and add William and Cheryl's tips to my bag of tricks. I tried capslock as VO keys but this didn't help me at all. I already have perfectly good VO keys on the left of the MacBook keyboard. I don't need extra VO keys on the left, I just need VO keys on the right. Thus I prefer capslock to remain capslock. Cheryl's suggestion of making return function as control when pressed in conjunction sounds like it's worth trying. The other thing I use is the keyboard commander. I assign functions that usually require VO keys on the right, such as move to dock, and move to desktop, to the keyboard commander so I can perform them just using the right option key. I also already use the track pad a bit, but I'm not sure of track pad commands for things like VO-F3, VO-F5, VO-COMMAND-F5 etc. Maybe I can assign some more of these to the keyboard commander. In any case, I don't use my MacBook heavily enough for it to bother me. I mostly use my iMac with USB keyboard so I'm a happy camper, and all round very satisfied with my MacBook Air. It's a brilliant portable little computer. The battery life amazes me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: bad accessibility these days
Oh no, I really wanted to do my income tax myself this year and not have to take it to our VITA site. There was a supervising change there last year and they would have messed things up if I hadn't been very vigilant. I always work everything out by hand anyway before I even go to the VITA site.

Well, this is a case of to each his/her own. Usb thumb drives are larger than sd cards and usually stick out some.

Re: Dropbox acting up again.
She doesn't have an entry in the extras menu because she is running Lion, not Mountain Lion, and that is part of what is causing confusion. And I'm sure what she means by accessing is all those things you list as being available through the extras menus. Also, at least on my machine, vo-return (this doesn't technically have an enter) doesn't get into the dropbox menu but vo-space does. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Dropbox is not an app in the normal sense of that word. It is just a special folder on your hard drive, you don't need to shut it down when not in use, you just set it and forget it. To use dropbox you place files in the dropbox folder and the dropbox software saves a copy to the cloud and syncs that copy across all your dropbox enabled devices. As far as accessing dropbox goes, The dropbox entry in the extras menu is activated by pressing VO enter. Then you have several choices: 1) you can open the dropbox folder where you can browse around your dropbox and delete and rename stuff if you like. 2) you can launch the dropbox website in safari and look at your stuff as it is stored in the cloud - it'll be an exact duplicate of the dropbox folder on your Mac. 3) you can look through a submenu of recently changed files, usually a half dozen of the last files addedd or deleted from your dropbox folder. 4) You can see how much of your dropbox storage is currently being used. 5) You can Pause/resume any syncing that's currently going on. 6) You can set your dropbox preferences. 7) and finally, you can read through the dropbox help files. I would highly recommend doing so. It will probably answer alot of your questions and clear up your general confusion about dropbox and its function and operation.

Re: Dropbox acting up again.

Dropbox is not an app in the normal sense of that word. It is just a special folder on your hard drive, you don't need to shut it down when not in use, you just set it and forget it. To use dropbox you place files in the dropbox folder and the dropbox software saves a copy to the cloud and syncs that copy across all your dropbox enabled devices. As far as accessing dropbox goes, The dropbox entry in the extras menu is activated by pressing VO enter. Then you have several choices: 1) you can open the dropbox folder where you can browse around your dropbox and delete and rename stuff if you like. 2) you can launch the dropbox website in safari and look at your stuff as it is stored in the cloud - it'll be an exact duplicate of the dropbox folder on your Mac. 3) you can look through a submenu of recently changed files, usually a half dozen of the last files addedd or deleted from your dropbox folder. 4) You can see how much of your dropbox storage is currently being used. 5) You can Pause/resume any syncing that's currently going on. 6) You can set your dropbox preferences. 7) and finally, you can read through the dropbox help files. I would highly recommend doing so. It will probably answer alot of your questions and clear up your general confusion about dropbox and its function and operation.

The Nifty Mini Drive is a new product for $40, on sale at the end of this month I believe. Normally, an sd card sticks out of your mac a bit, making it impractical to leave one in there long-term. However, this product is a mini sd card adapter which sits flush with the mac's body, making it able to be left inserted all the time with no fear of damage to the card and/or sd slot. So, if you got the 64gb Air, you can double your storage and just use the sd card for media. It's there all the time and is flash-based, but you don't need to spring for the much more expensive 128gb Ari, just get the adapter and as many cards as you want.

Re: acapella voices.
Actually this isn't correct. It's 4 credits for two computers and I don't think there's any way to just use 2 credits and buy for one computer. In addition to this, some voices are 6 credits for two computers and I think some or all of the Swedish and Norwegian voices are 14 credits for 2 computers. You can install them as demos if you want. Then you go into the store and buy credits when you are ready to buy. Then you go into the voice manager in your Applications folder and activate. Or you can buy first and then install and install if you are already sure what you want.

Re: Jumping to html area from tool bar, was Re: getting to address bar in Safari

Re: request receipts
Hmmm, you could make a script out of the lines for turning this on and another for turning it off. Then, if you only occasionally wanted to request one, you could run the script by just executing the script and then change it back again. It wouldn't require writing anything, just putting the terminal commands in a file, making the file executable and putting it where it would be in your path so you could just type the name in terminal and hit enter to run it. Hmmm, might try that as soon as I have time. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Receipts: Requesting, turning on and off, responding to those sent to you
I've been working on this receipts issue and I'll try to lay out what I've
done. I am now able to request receipts, reply to a request for a receipt (only
tested on sending to myself), check to see if requesting receipts is turned on
and off, and turn requesting receipts on and off.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you accidentally delete already existing
email headers or have other problems with email, terminal or anything else on
your computer or in your life :-) while doing this, though of course I'll be
willing to help troubleshoot if you post problems to the list. This is my first
draft and though I've looked through it for errors, there's certainly the
possibility - the overwhelming probability! - I've made some. So if in doubt,
check things over, ask questions, and do your own research. The links where I
got most of this information are at the bottom of this email, just above my
signature. There are plenty of people on this list who will spot errors and
probably find easier ways to do this. I didn't attempt to include in-depth
instruction about terminal or applescripts. None of what is written here is
original with me.
Mac OS version: These instructions are specifically for Mountain Lion. They may
be used in earlier releases of Mac OS but there will be differences. For
instance, there have been changes in the location of applescript folders in
Mountain Lion.
Before we start, a note about copying and pasting: Be careful to get all the
content as there are apostrophes, braces, semicolons, etc. that really are a
part of the line to be copied and pasted. If you copy a line by doing
shift-down-arrow, this could result in the line being put in terminal and enter
being executed before you have a chance to check the line, so if you want to be
able to check what you've done, highlight from left to right, making sure you
include everything. I know that working with terminal can be a challenge with
voiceover; I have the benefit of a braillelite with brltty in Terminal so if
you have problems, do some research and/or ask for help on the list. Also, I
will be referring to the return/enter key as enter. Those with older Macs may
have both, but it's my understanding that all the newer keyboards now just have
return. But I don't want to have to write return/enter all the time and the
term enter seems to get used more though they are not identical and the key
on most Macs is now really return, so if you have both and one doesn't work,
try the other.
Step 1. Checking for headers:
Since sending receipt requests involves adding something to your email headers,
first you want to check to see whether you presently have any custom headers
and what they are. This is done with one line that you can paste into terminal
and then press enter. The line is:
defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders
Step 2. Enabling request receipts for the first time
Note: it is possible to just wait and do this with the applescripts in Step 3
but it may be better to do it this way the first time to ensure that there are
no problems.
A. If in Step 1 you get something like:
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.mail, UserHeaders) does not exist:
that means you don't have any custom headers. If that is the case, things are
simpler because you have nothing you have to keep from deleting. In that case,
type or paste the following line in terminal, replacing Name with your name and
email.address with your email address:
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{Disposition-Notification-To =
Name email@address; }'
You shouldn't see any results from this line's entry. You can check to make
sure the Disposition-Notification-To header was added by running the line in
step 1 again. If these are the only lines you have just done in terminal, you
can easily get back up to the first entry from step 1 by arrowing up twice in
terminal. You won't hurt anything if you accidentally do the line from this
step over but you won't see any results.
You won't have to type or paste to turn this on and off each time as we will be
using apple scripts or other alternatives for that. Skip to step 3 if you
completed 2A successfully.
2B. If the line you entered in Terminal in step 1 gives you something that has
a line with a left brace and the beginning and a right brace at the end, it
means that you do have some custom headers which you may not want to delete in
the process of adding what you need to generate receipt requests. Here's an
example of what you might get (this is only an example; what you get will vary
according to your custom headers):
{Bcc = b...@example.com; }
In this case you have two choices to proceed. One, which I haven't tried, would
be to edit the .plist and add in the header. You can find more about this by
following the link where I got most of this information, which will be at the
bottom of this email. However, this may have changed somewhat because I notice
that the path to

Re: Stopping VO from saying, Return, new line.
I think whether you get new line or new line and return depends on the type of line break in the file. I know sometimes when there were both I've taken out the returns. I can't remember whether I've ever performed this task in Text Edit or have always used emacs in terminal. But that digresses from your issue. I don't usually get new line and/or return read when I'm using vo-a, which is what I assume you mean by say-all. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

I read a lot of plaintext files and I don't always, or even usually, have this happen. There must be another variable involved besides.

Reading braille books on the Mac
Hi all. I find that in reading braille books/files on my Mac with a braille display I get what look like mj or j at the end of lines which I assume represent new lines and/or return. This happens with most braille files i get, including NLS' web braille. It is very distracting! I've been reading in Text Edit. Is there a way to keep these from showing or a better application to read braille in with a braille display?

Re: Problems emptying the trash
I'm not sure you have to route the mouse. I think doing cmd-option-shift-delete and then leaving the option key held down while releasing the other does this. At least I seem to remember doing this but I could be wrong because it's been a long time. But I still would be concerned about what I was emptying.

Accessibility of tax Filing process
Hi all. I've been getting things to gether to do my taxes and was looking at the process for my state. I see that after I get my acknowledgment back I have to send them an attachment with files of my w2, rent certificate, and other papers. I would imagine maybe the IRS requires this for the federal return too. So I have two questions. (1) Does anybody know whether the transfer mechanism for sending these files is accessible on the Mac? (2) Is this just a matter of scanning the files? My state says it accepts tif, bmp, jpg and pdf files. But I'm wondering if just scanning them like I do my mail and books is going to be okay or whether they could still receive an attachment with unreadable files. I'd really like to be able to do this but I sure don't want to make my tax experience a long, drawn-out one or have to re-do everything and have to wait and wait for my refund. Any input would be appreciated. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Accessibility of tax Filing process
Thanks for the information; I had been planning to use Taxact but saw the state's free e-file and wanted to investigate it. I haven't done anything yet except go through the forms manually and figure everything out as to refund amounts so I will know what I'm doing when I actually file. So if you input the information, which is certainly possible, does this eliminate the need to send attachments after receiving the acknowledgment of the receipt of your return or does Taxact do this for you? I definitely do intend to complain about the inaccessibility of this system; there is plenty of information on these documents that can be validated by directly inputting instead of having to send the attachment with scanned files. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

If you have not already started sending through your state's web site, you may be able to send both your federal and state at the same time. Although there are some issues with accessibility which I can further explain if you need to know, I have been using Tax Act at taxact.com for the first time this year. I finally figured the best way do it to make the process work better. If, however, you have gone far enough in the process where you're ready to send in the papers, it sounds like you could scan them and send them. However, I for one would be a little skeptical about doing that because it would be difficult if not impossible for you to check the accuracy of what you sent in. I guess our sighted friends get to look at the image before they send it in. (The state should be yelled at for doing it this way because it's not the best accessibility choice. It's been my experience, as a former blind IRS employee, that the federal systems are usually more accessible than the state's. At least that true for Texas.) If you use a web site like taxact.com however, you can type in the W-2 information yourself so that, although it's a pain to edit, you can do it if you make a mistake. If you get all the information together first so that you can input it all at once, the process is easier. Presumably you can do the same with the state information although I have not tried it since Texas doesn't have a state income tax. But I notice there is a choice for state questions and answers for putting in the information. I hope all this makes sense. If I can help you further, please ask.

Re: Accessibility of tax Filing process
Thanks. Actually I've started the process and the Federal is going well. I'm having somebody sighted come and make sure everything is input correctly and next year I'll be able to import a lot and it will be easier. I'm also going to do my state with taxact even though I will pay for it because it will be accessible. The state's free system requires adobe acrobat which is not accessible for voiceover users on the Mac; I have to use that for my daughter's homestead and that's also where the attachment has to be done so I'm going to have to have sighted help for that. But so far I'm really pleased with taxact; I had some questions and they were very prompt and thorough in emailing me back. The only reason I'm not using them for my daughter's homestead is that taxact isn't set up to do a standalone homestead and I still would have the attachment issue or would have to mail the documents. But I would definitely recommend taxact to people using the Mac with voiceover.

However, I have not a clue if this is true for the State returns. If the state has a requirement for sending in these image files, then you might be stuck with image files. Here's my suggestion. Get together every paper you can possibly think of that you would need for your taxes. Write-down all your information in some form you want to read for yourself. This will cut down on the need for editing. I have found that helpful when using TaxACT because they could use some improvement with accessibility in my opinion. The edit buttons and add buttons are not very accessible with screen readers as far as I can tell, At least, the easy way. It is possible to edit if you make a mistake, but you have to go the long way around, As far as I can tell, it does not cost anything for you to go in and input stuff. So, you could startr doing things, and then if you didn't like it, you could erase it all. I had to erase several things and start over because I messed it up.

Re: Accessibility of tax Filing process
No, I don't think it's weird at all and I thought about doing that; maybe I will next year. But so far doing it on my computer is going very well. I'm actually ready to file the Federal but want a sighted person to review the information and compare it with last year's form and my W2; next year that won't be as necessary. For anybody thinking about doing this, I would say that the first year is the hardest and maybe scariest. If you stick with the same system there are usually tools for importing some of your info from the previous year so subsequent years will be much easier. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Accessibility of tax Filing process
The IRS doesn't provide its own e-filing system; Its website gives a list of providers of software and/or online programs from which you can choose. There isn't an IRS free-file or e-file that you can use independent of software providers. This is different than some states which do have their own e-file system. But even so, in my state's case, the state's system is less accessible. It requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader for filling out the forms and for certain forms requires either mailing in information after the acknowledgment or attaching files of documents while doing the return which involves adobe acrobat reader. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Accessibility of tax Filing process
Yes, I know this is a little OT but I download the brf or text files every year to figure out my returns manually before I go through the process especially if I'm taking them to somebody else to do! If you go to the IRS website and to accessibility you can find them. And you can fill in the text files in Text Edit just for your own edification. I actually do them in terminal with brltty and my braille display but of corse this is just for my own benefit not to send anywhere. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Rumola issues.
Do you think there's an possibility that there's some kind of warning or error message interfering with the install? I know that with doing my income taxes with safari I was getting busy signals and apparently with popups blocked I wasn't finding those messages but also popups can obscure some items or windows. So you might try changing your setting; I think it's in security but not sure. Also when you get busy signals try doing vo-f2 twice to get into the window chooser and see if there is a window you aren't seeing. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
