Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

Hey Jonathan, thanks for the confirmation. I wasn’t able to locate any support notices either from Microsoft or the screen reader vendors at the time of upgrading, and as you noted, all information from the VMWare knowledge base pertained to upgrading from a previous version of Windows which

Re: Who's playing at Arthur's Tavern tonight?

Hi, I went to the site which I'm assuming you're speaking of. Arthur's Tavern in New York City. Rather far away for me, but the web-site's close. With Safari and VO web navigation set to Group mode, I was able to press VO-cmd-t to find the table, then VO-shift-down to interact with the

Just checking to see if anyone is using the Wunderlist Todo manager on the Mac and whether you know how to access file attachments? Seems to work well enough with iOS but I am having trouble figuring it out on the Mac. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac

Re: Command o Not working Inside Dropbox

Hey that is awful that people were telling you to shut up about it as this is an issue that only affects specific Macs not all. It started with El Cap for me but not others and has been confirmed with Apple Accessibility as a bug that has been kicked up to the developers. Hopefully it will be

Re: Command o Not working Inside Dropbox

Well, this is disturbing. You know, some people were complaining about this on a podcast: and, when I told them I had no problems with Command+o running Lcapitan, I was told to shut up and that I did not know what I was talking about. In any case, I have no problem with Command+o opening

Re: Command o Not working Inside Dropbox

Actually on certain Macs running El Cap there is a bug where VO O will not open folders as I have it and spent hours on the phone with Apple Accessibility reporting it. To work around this do a command down arrow to open a folder and command up arrow to close the folder. > On Aug 5, 2016, at

Who's playing at Arthur's Tavern tonight?

Now now. This is completely on topic. I am trying to get this information from a table on their website. I can't figure out how to read said table with VoiceOver. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Antonio -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries

I had a sighted person using my computer yesterday, so I guess he changed that. Thanks for the quick reply! Jeff > On Aug 5, 2016, at 9:25 AM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > > You probably havelayout set for column view. > On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 8:53 AM Jeff Berwick

Command o Not working Inside Dropbox

Hi all, All of a sudden today, when I go into my Dropbox, I cannot use Command + o to open a folder. If I do a [VO] + [Shift] + m and choose open in a new tab, it works. This is only happening inside my Dropbox folder. Any thoughts? Tia, Jeff -- The following information is important

Re: Playing BBC World Service Content on My Mac

David and everyone, as I wrote a few days ago, the help file that speaks of incompatibility with OS X VoiceOver is confusing. The notation actually relates to the BBC Media Player, not, strictly speaking, to the BBC iPlayer. I am confused because I am under the impression that the Media Player

Re: Twitter

I’m guessing that’s the best we can do, but I’m betting it doesn’t address the source of the annoyance. It happens in Nightowl too. When you’re scrolling through the tweets VO interrupts what is currently being spoken to say, “one row added.” If your feed is particularly active it can be a

Re: Twitter

Hi. Whenever I’m reading a tweet and a new one comes in! VO stops to tell me that one row is added, meaning a new tweet has arrived and then reads my current tweet out again. I just wanted to stop this interruption. I want my tweet read out in full without VO telling me that another one has

Hi I have one of these running on my iPhone, but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for an ad blocker for my MBP? One of my favourite sites has just become almost useless because they’ve taken to slapping third party ad content all over it. Thanks in advance Adrienne -- The
