Chris, I didn't know that you were using the install DVD that came with a computer. The OS X install DVDs that you get with a Mac will only install OS X on that specific model of Mac. If you want the full version, that can install on any Mac, you must go out and buy the retail version of OS X.

You probably need to press buttons on the flash player to control it. Flash is inaccessible, so VoiceOver can't see those. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Al Puzzuoli Sent: Monday, May 31, 2010 7:05 PM To: m

The base systems usually come with roughly the same set of plug ins, whether you buy MPowered, LE, or HD. You typically buy a base system, and then add on the features that you need through upgrade packs. For example, they have one upgrade pack targeted at people using Pro Tools for editing and

In a lot of ways, the Radar should be just accessible out of the box. Not in terms that it will speak to you, but just for the fact that it has a physical control for just about every function. It isn't a full DAW, but is mainly just a multitrack digital recorder. The really popular thing about

I'm involved with Waves in a project to fix access for their entire line of plugs. There stuff isn't the most affordable, but it is very high quality. The access improvements will help in Pro Tools, but will also be just as useful for anyone using them in GarageBand, Logic, or Windows DAWs like

Hi. The accessibility support for Pro Tools will be in an update to Pro Tools 8. In order to run Pro Tools 8, you need an Intel Mac (the Power PC support stopped with Pro Tools 7). You must be running Leopard (10.5.5) or later. Actually, you might need a later version than that for full accessi

10.6.3 was supposed to do something with VoiceOver, though no one could tell exactly what that something was. It would be real cool if Apple could include detailed change logs or something when a new OS version comes out. Maybe they do, but I haven't seen them. Anyone have one that lists VO chan

You're right. It isn't a tab bar. However, lots of iPhone and iPad apps try to use it that way. Have you used the App Store or Skype? They put buttons at the bottom of the screen, where the dock should be, that are used for switching between pages of the current view (tabs). Those tab buttons s

I noticed that, on my iPad, the hiss is there, even if VoiceOver is off. When I first start the iPad, if I immediately lock the screen, the speaker will shut off in about 10 seconds. That's fine. After I've toggled VoiceOver on/off once, from that point forward, when the screen is locked, the hi
