There is a lag here compared to Mavericks which was snappy. But at my end it's
tolerable.

Yosemite Update
Eugenia Firth <[email protected]>: Oct 17 12:26AM -0500
Hi guys
I didn’t have to turn VoiceOver on and off this time when the setup assistant
came on. For those of you who haven’t done it yet, be prepared for your Mac to
be gone for a very, very, long time after the installation starts. Although you
don’t hear the startup noise, every now and then you can hear little clicks.
The fan comes on, too. Mine came on at least two or three times. No trouble
doing the setup choices either.

I said this once before and was proven mistaken, but it appears that my weird
problem with Finder is gone. Yea! I had the problem before of Finder showing
this big long string of numbers at the top of my Finder lists of files, which
an Apple representative saw and assured me it was really there and not a
VoiceOver thing. So far, my computer is not saying those weird numbers any
more. And for the person who wanted back using the arrow keys for getting to
the files within the folders, that seems to be working good now, too. So, so
far, so good.
Regards,
Gigi

Actually, you can bring up VoiceOver during the installation with Command-F5.
At least I could.

Is Anyone Else Having Problems Making Bootable Version Of Yosemite?
Shawn Krasniuk <[email protected]>: Oct 17 01:39AM -0500
Hi guys. Has anyone else tried making a bootable copy of Yosemite with Disk
Maker X? Every time I try to make one, I get the following error:
Finder got an error: Can’t set disk "Install OS X Yosemite" to "OS X Yosemite
Install Disk". (-10006)
This is with Disk Maker X Version 4B3 and OS X Yosemite. Has anyone else gotten
this as well? I'm not good with terminal so making the bootable drive through
that isn't an option unless someone wants to Skype or FaceTime me and walk me
through the steps. If so, email me off list and I'll provide my details. Thanks.

I'm no good with Terminal either so will wait for an update to Diskmakerx which
is probably the issue here; not ready for Yosemite yet.

starting to get irritated by IOS 8
Devin Prater <[email protected]>: Oct 16 10:15PM -0500
I'm just a little ticked that they didn't update the iPod model. No wonder iOS8
runs slowly on the iPod 5. It has the same specs as the iPhone 4s.

One Password
Nicholas Parsons <[email protected]>: Oct 17 11:35AM +1100
Hi Gigi,
I use 1Password 4 on Mountain Lion and now Mavericks, as well as the 1Password
iOS app on iOS 7 and now iOS 8.
Basically, it works fine for me. There are some interface elements that are not
very VoiceOver friendly. For instance, the 1Password Safari extension is
annoying to use. However, it's possible to use 1Password to do everything you
need without using those interface elements, much.
Editing passwords works just as you say. You change your password using the
website's normal features. 1Password recognises the change and gives you a
popup asking if you want to update your login in 1Password. It's just like
iCloud Keychain if you've tried that. This much is completely accessible and
easy to use. And if for some reason 1Password doesn't recognise the change, you
can open the 1Password app and change it manually. Doing it that way is also
very accessible and easy.
So yes, you can edit passwords and create better ones. If you have specific
questions once you're up and running don't hesitate to get in touch.
Essentially, 1Password is useable although the interface, particularly in the
Safari extension, could be easier to navigate and use.
Best,
Nic

Hi Nic
You told me what I needed to know. Now I am more confident I won't lock myself
out of my own account, etc. I guess it does the same thing for your Apple ID,
right?

selective folders in Dropbox
Nicholas Parsons <[email protected]>: Oct 17 12:35PM +1100
Actually it is possible. There was another thread on this not too long ago
where the steps and possible difficulties were discussed in detail. You might
be able to Google it.
Essentially just pressing space on them works, even though VoiceOver gives no
feedback. However, I found that this only worked with folders in the root
Dropbox directory. Trying to un-select sub-folders had dramatic and unexpected
results. So to be safe I suggest only trying it with root folders until Dropbox
addresses this issue in an update.

Scripting VoiceOver Utility
Nicholas Parsons <[email protected]>: Oct 17 12:32PM +1100
To start with, just so we are all clear, VoiceOver sound can be output to the
same device as the system or can be controlled independently of the system. The
control is under the Sounds pane of VoiceOver Utility. I prefer to have mine
controlled independently. Just because I want music or movies to be output
through my home theatre system at a loud volume, doesn't mean I want to hear
VoiceOver chattering at me at the same volume for everyone to hear. I thus have
VoiceOver either going through the in-built speakers or to headphones, and
sometimes like to switch between the in-built speakers and headphones, while
keeping the system sound going through whatever device I have the system sound
set to.
So that's what I'm trying to control. It's possible to control manually in the
Sounds pane of VoiceOver Utility. However, I want to control it automatically
using AppleScript.
But as Jonathon said, I'm pretty sure there's no VoiceOver AppleScript
terminology (properties or commands) to do this. I looked in the VoiceOver
AppleScript dictionary but couldn't find anything. But I'm hoping there might
be some other way which I haven't yet considered.

Keychain on the Mac
Deb Lewis <[email protected]>: Oct 16 05:29PM -0700
When I set up my keychain I had a different Mac. When I got rid of it, I forgot
that the phone number i’d used for verification is no longer valid for
receiving a text to verify a new Mac on the keychain.
I’ve looked on my phone and can find no way to change the number for the
keychain there. And on my new Mac it keeps sending the verification to the old
number that isn’t valid. I thought there was a way to have it contact another
phone on the keychain and let that be the verification. Is there any way to get
that to happen? And if not, do I have to dump my entire iCloud and start over
or worse? Yikes!! I can only find instructions for changing the number on
another Mac in the keychain. That’s what I no longer have. Just phones on it
and wanting to add my Mac.
This would be under Yosemite on the Mac.
Thanks for any help at all.

Hi Deb, I think the only option you may have in your situation is to completely
zap your Keychain and start over.

Well fortunately I did actually manage to get this figured out without zapping
anything.
I hadn’t seen the advanced button under keychain on the phone. Here indeed you
can change the code and the phone number.
Then my next misery was that for some reason my phone wasn’t receiving any
calls or texts after I’d enabled handoff on the mac. Fortunately a reboot of
the phone got that one solved.
And then the mac started showing that option again to have a device verify the
keychain which is really what i wanted in the first place. So now the Mac is
added.
what a chore, but at least it’s done and the process is straightforward enough
if the Apple servers weren’t bogged down and the phone hadn’t been conked by
adding the Mac to it.
