RE: Formatting a USB drive from a virtual machine

Hi Grant, I’m not sure I’m getting what your trying to do. Disk Utilitiy is a Mac OS service / application, I don’t know that you could format or partition a USB drive of a windows VM using disk util. If you insert the USB to the mac and then format or partition the USB using disk utilities a

Re: Automation mailing list.

I was attempting to send essentially the same information to two different mailing lists, and when I pasted the draft message into Macvisionaries I did not proof it before sending the message. I think you also requested to join. Any high priority items you are looking at discussing? Also, pleas

Re: Selecting an option on the Social Security web site

Did you enable the accessible mode? When looking at https://secure.ssa.gov/iClaim/Ent001Submit.do There were two sets of radio buttons. If you use the arrow keys and tab keys on the radio buttons then what is spoken is what is selected, and VoiceOver in high verbosity mode did speak selected whe

Formatting a USB drive from a virtual machine

Hello all, In a VMWare virtual machine, I’m trying to use the diskpart utility to format a USB drive so I can use it to install Windows. When I try to do this, Diskpart gives an internal error and the drive unmounts from the VM. Has anyone had success performing this kind of hardware function

Selecting an option on the Social Security web site

I have found for some things you need to change the verbosity in voice over. Example I had to change the verbosity in voice over to beginner or how ever it is listed to speak all to get the list of items for that day in a calander day to read. Maybe if you change it in numbers it will not read al

Re: Feedback on VoiceOver behaviour in Numbers | announcing row and column numbers before the selected cell's contents

Hi Phil, Yes, it was. I thought I’d copy it to this list in case others felt the same way and wanted to give similar feedback to Apple. Or indeed perhaps had a reason for liking the behaviour and wanted to explain why it should be how it is. I can understand you preferring to just live with it

RE: Health apps

Oh, in that case I'm not sure, I've never noticed this app doing that, I guess if you could somehow put a focus box around that section of the app then you could get it to speak it. I normally flick between that prompt and my speed rate,and time, There is a hell of a lot of fitness apps out t
