Re: Partition an external drive

Hi Patricia, Ok, I've got my disc and after a few hours of struggling, I've partitioned it into two partitions successfully. I plugged my new dis into a usb port. It showed on my desktop. I opened disc utilities and selected the disc in the table of all available discs. I then chose to

Pablo, I saved Cheryl's message. I thought I had been doing what she suggested, but without her results. There has since been another update iTunes on the Mac, at least one. I am going to take her message and go step-by-step and see if I was doing something wrong. I just haven't been back on

Switching between VoiceOver and NVDA

Hi I was able to go online from Windows OS and have NVDA installed, so I have both that and VoiceOver on mac OS. Is there a way to switch between the screen readers seamlessly without losing speech when using Bootcamp? Thanks, Sharon H. -- The following information is important for all

Re: Switching between VoiceOver and NVDA

You cannot switch between these two screen readers when using Boot Camp because Boot Camp only allows one operating system to be live at any given time. You'll either be using voice over we're NVDA but you won't have the option to switch between the two. Sent from my IPhone > On Dec 15,

Language switching, what makes that happen?

I sometimes get emails that have mixed Russian and English. The language switching is wonderful on the iPhone. It just reads the Russian, then reads the English, then goes back to Russian. It is really great. So today, I got an email that had English and German. I don't have German in my

Mail saying no sender

Hi all, since the latest update to OSX when arrowing down a list of messages in a mailbox where I used to hear the senders name I now hear no sender. I have had my sited wife take a look and where the sender should be she can see the words no sender. Can anybody offer any help on this one. Max.

Re: Switching between VoiceOver and NVDA

There’s a pane in System Preferences called Startup Disk where you can choose which disk your Mac boots from. You can find it through Spotlight Search as well (do a COMMAND+SPACE, enter “startup”, and you should be taken right to the result you want). You will then be in an accessible dialog

Re: Language switching, what makes that happen?

Well, that's what I had to start with. Language set to default, which is Alex. The German voice was in the rotor. I figured if it wasn't in the rotor it wouldn't work. So, with the voice set to default, Alex talking. And the German was spoken by Alex. So maybe some flag has to be sent in the

Re: Switching between VoiceOver and NVDA

Ok, I understand you have to restart and then decide which OS you want, but can I wait until NVDA or VoiceOver comes up, or is it just a matter of going through the motion with the keyboard commands that we know? Speaking of the keyboard command, what is it again please? Thanks, Sharon H.

Re: Switching between VoiceOver and NVDA

If you have Voiceover enabled to start speaking at login, that is what will happen. Same with NVDA, if its set to start when you boot into Windows, it will start speaking at startup. When using Bootcamp, the two OSs do not interact. Its either OS X or its Windows. From E.T.'s

Re: How to create a multi part archive compressed on the mac.

Hi Chris. My first operating system experience besides MS-dos back in those dark days, was Unix via a dos terminal connected through ethernet. First it was sun os and later one flavor of unix or other, such as Freebsd, sco unix, linux etc. So I know exactly what you are talking about.

Re: How to create a multi part archive compressed on the mac.

Back in the day there were lots of these little utilities but now that you have full access to unix in the terminal it's not really worth a developer's time to recreate a GUI version of a text command. I'm sure they are out there but most of the stuff I found when googling around had step #1

Re: Language switching, what makes that happen?

My understanding is, if the language is set to a specific voice / language, that voice will attempt to read everything. However, if the language is set to default, language will switch depending on the language flag in the text. Set the rotor to language. Use the vertical flick to switch to

Re: How to create a multi part archive compressed on the mac.

I'll resist the temptation to dive into geezer computing but Sun made some nice stuff back in the day. It was also a lot easier to connect to them from the Mac than Vax mainframes which required a special OS patch to support DECNet. Never heard of Ipackr and couldn't find it in the store. For
