Re: Admin users can't write to HD in Lion.

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Geoff,

I had a related problem with the Infovox iVox voices. I couldn't activate them 
using my codes until I'd changed permissions on the Preferences folder at root 
level. The next time I repaired permissions, they were set back to what they 
were before I changed them. I changed everything to Read and Write.

Cheers,

Anne

Admin users can't write to HD in Lion.

[Geoff Waaler]

Greetings all,

After doing a clean install of Lion on my mid 2010 13 in MBP, I am unable to 
copy files or folders to the root, or any sub folders on my internal HD.  
Whether I try command-c -> command-v or drag/drop, I consistently receive the 
following:

"An unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)".

I repaired permissions, even from the recovery disk (command-r during startup) 
and created another account with admin authority.  I have also reinstalled Lion 
several times deleting the partition every time, but experience the same 
results.

I called Apple support here in the US and he asked for my number, put me on 
hold and didn't call back when our connection broke.  I'll probably try 
contacting support again tomorrow, but am curious whether anyone here has any 
suggestions?  I'd rather not try updating from my last SnowLeopard timeMachine 
backup because as I discovered last night I had already installed iTunes 10.4 
(an update I've been declining on Lion).  I've got to believe that others with 
this hardware have performed clean installs, hence wonder if VO could be a 
factor somehow, since the support lines  would doubtless be ringing off the 
hook if this affected the entire community of mid 2010 13 in MBP users?

TIA for any suggestions, and best regards.
Geoff

Re: Thank you all for Calendar help!

[Bryan Jones]

Hello Mark,

I'm not clear on wether it's the name of the iCal application that got changed, 
or the name of a specific calendar within the iCal application, so here are 
some instructions for both.

1. If you just need to change the name of the iCal application, or any 
application, highlight the application in Finder, Press the Return key, type 
the new name and press Return again to make the change.
2. If you need to change the name of a calendar inside of iCal, open the 
calendars list either from the View menu or the toolbar, then use VO to select 
the calendar you want to change, then press VO+Shift+M to bring up the 
contextual menu, and then select "Get Info." In the Get Info dialog box you 
should find a text edit box to change the name of the calendar.

HTH,
Bryan

Re: Making a Lion DVD is easy!

[Sarah Alawami]

I tried to do that but ccc said even though it was formatted to mac osx 
extended journaled it would not make a bootable thing and when I did it via 
disk utility it never showed up in the start up area under disk start up. I do 
that to make sure it  will be bootable.

Thank you all for Calendar help!

[Mark Furness]

I have been trying to stop using enter since changing over to Mac from Windows
It never dawn on me to use it in calendar as it was not needed in SL

Somehow, I changed the name  "calendar" to "blood test" for its name
Does anyone know how to change calendar names? 
I saw where to add them
How to delet them.
But it would be better to change their name then delete then add a new one.

Re: Making a Lion DVD is easy!

Writeable dvds will usually read slower. I plan on making a bootable install 
using a flash drive. I think there is a way to do that with disk utility also, 
but I will probably use super duper or carbon copy cloner and just clone the 
dmg image to the drive.

Only the mid level one has a discrete graphics processor.

Re: Mac Mini question.

[Red.Falcon]

Hi Jim!
I've seen on other post's that the new mini has no dvd/cd drive!
So if you need one of those you'll have to take that into consideration!

Re: Mac Mini question.

[Jim Noseworthy]

Hi Folks:

Now that you mention it, I've heard of that issue.  Is this also the case 
for the new Mac Minicomputers? I think they are using different video cards 
especially the model that comes with the server software.


Cheers.

I am considering celling my MacBook Pro in favour of a Mac Mini for portability 
reasons.  Is there anything that I should know about the mini with regards to 
accessibility?

Thanks all over the place gang.

Re: Drop Box Beta

[Sarah Alawami]

Ok. it's been resolved. I used trash me to get rid of the thing and then 
restarted, ran the installer and restarted. All is well now and the public 
links work. Yeah!

Sorry all for my odd issues.

Take care.

Re: Drop Box Beta

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

I think the instructions were to reboot bbefore moving the new dropbox into the 
applications folder.  I suggest you attempt to remove both dropbox applications 
from the applications folder, reboot, and then proceed.

If that doesn't work, I expect you will need to clean some preferences.

 What I actually said was that your system must be in some way different or

 DropBox people haven't done a darn thing to fix accessibility in this 
 release. If there is a difference in your system I' not saying it's your

 What I'm going to do later on tonight is do a total clean install of Lion 
 on our other MacBook and the first app I will install is DropBox beta. If 
 it works, I'll let you know precisely what I did, and how.

Re: Any way to do Select All in itunes? (resolved?)

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
I think this is now resolved. I played with the itunes view options and it 
seems the below only works with view option "tech list view". There may be an 
itunes set up bug as I had to switch view options several times before it 
worked. It now seems to work all the time even across re-boots. So keeping 
fingers crossed!

Re: best app for docs containing tables.

[James AUSTIN]

Hi Dona,
There is an option in Pages under Table, I believe it is called Text that will 
allow you to access the table. I've not used this however. If this fails, you 
could try either TextEdit or Bean, which might help.



If either of these two do not serve your purpose, maybe the spreadsheet 
application Tables will do the trick? I believe there is an option in this app 
in the Preferences which makes the app accessible to VoiceOver. 

Tables can be found here: http://www.x-tables.eu/more/overview.html
Bean can be found here: http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html

Sorry not to be of more help

[Dónal Fitzpatrick]

Folks,

I must urgently complete a form for one of the research bodies here.  
Unfortunately I'm not near my windows box and this is a Microsoft turd document 
containing lots of tables.  The left column is the label, and the right is the 
space where information is to be input.

Anyone recommend any kind of wordprocessor that will handle it?  Pages, to put 
it bluntly, hasn't a hope.

Many thanks all,

It's exactly the same as the old version as was mentioned in an earlier 
message. The only advantage is that it works in Lion. If you're not running 
Lion I wouldn't bother.

Re: Drop Box Beta

Told you you were doing something different, didn't i! You missed out one vital

Re: Making a Lion DVD is easy!

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi lynne,

I agree on this. I went ahead and made one for myself a few days ago just in 
case. It does take a little while to boot compared to the conventional  DVDs 
Apple offered for Snow Leopard, but that's understandable. It works very well, 
however, interestingly enough it seemed that Disk Utility refused to format my 
internal drive off of the utility offered on the DVD. I'm going to try that 
again, but that was really the only oddity I found.

Regards,
Nic

Re: Drop Box Beta

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

hello Sarah

What I actually said was that your system must be in some way different or uyou 
must be doing something different. That much is obvious I think, given that 
others have this working properly. You may not be the only person for whom it 
does not work. And I am pretty disappointed that the DropBox people haven't 
done a darn thing to fix accessibility in this release. If there is a 
difference in your system I' not saying it's your fault.

What I'm going to do later on tonight is do a total clean install of Lion on 
our other MacBook and the first app I will install is DropBox beta. If it 
works, I'll let you know precisely what I did, and how.

Re: VO activities

[Sarah Alawami]

I believe the vo settings activity is the default activity so if I am write, it 
wold make sense you cannot get rid of it. Now, wether you can stop it from 
saying that, I have no idea.

Re: VO activities

[Justin Ekis]

Hi Paul,

The Voiceover Settings activity is meant to be your default activity for 
applications where no other activity is being used. Changes you make in the 
Voiceover utility itself are saved to the voiceover settings activity. In other 
words, you do not need a separate default activity. Just set the settings that 
you wish in the main voiceover utility. Then, when you are setting up your 
activities, the only settings that you need to set up are those that you want 
to be different from the defaults. 

For example, I have everything just the way I like it in VoiceOver utility. 
From there, I created my first activity called web. I turned on single key 
navigation and set it to use QuickNav by default. Now when I go into safari, 
everything else is the same as the Voiceover settings activity, except for the 
few things that I specifically changed.

This is one of the things I miss most since going back to snow leopard, and I 
can't wait to come back to Lion when the next update comes out and fixes some 
things.

I hope this explanation makes sense.

Justin

Hello, 
I have four mail accounts set up in Apple mail. the default account from which

Any way to do Select All in itunes?

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
I am currently keeping Snow Leopard for two reasons only. One is the lack of 
Lion support for abbyy fine reader express for mac, which will be fixed soon. 
the other is the lack of Select All in iTunes 10.4. 

I need Select All in iTunes to allow me to change the tags (e.g. author, genre, 
title)for all the files in a given audio book. WIth the prior iTunes on Snow 
Leopard I used the search option to populate the music table with all the 
desired files and then did command+a to select all these files and then did 
command+i to change the IDE tags for them all. This no longer works on iTunes 
10.4 on Lion. I can instead only select a single track from the music table. I 
have tried ever way I can think of to do a Select All but to no effect. I don't 
wan to go back to a previous level of iTunes as iTunes 10.4 remembers my 
audible user  name and password which prior levels of iTunes did not do on 
Lion. 

Any suggestions? 

Many thanks.

Hi Anne & Paul


I seem to remember seeing this issue bugged.  yes, it's a nasty one and I also 
seem to remember that the person who bugged it had to re-import their old VO

VO activities

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello,
On Lion I have two activities defined, one called readit for reading continuous 
text and the other called default for everything else. Moving to Finder 
automatically switches to the default activity. 

What I do not understand is that quite often I am in an activity called 
"VoiceOver settings" which has undesirable verbosity. this activity is not 
defined in my activities list and so I cannot delete or modify it. Any ideas on 
why this is happening and what I can do to get rid of the VoiceOver settings 
activity?

Many thanks.

Re: Abbyy

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Anne

I'm not sure that's quite true. We actually bought Omnipage Pro-X 16.  But it 
wasn't accessible at all.  My understanding was that at that time, (2008) 
Nuance had just updated it.  But I've seen nothing since then.  It used to be 
called "Scansoft OmniPage Pro-X" but they changed it to Nuance.  Of course it 
is entirely possible that the name was all they changed, but I don't even see 
it listed now under the Nuance banner.  So either I'm missing it or it's been 
discontinued.

I do remember you telling us you used to use it; but for us it proved to be the 
worst thing we ever bought for the Mac. :)

Magic Trackpad on MacBook Pro

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

Is it possible to use a Magic Trackpad on a Macbook Pro which already has its 
own internal trackpad?  I'm trying, but not having much luck.  It connects 
alright and says it's there in system preferences > Bluetooth but I don't seem 
to be able to use it even with Trackpad Commander turned on.  The internal 
trackpad works fine which is what's making me wonder if you can only use one.  
Kind of odd, as I can use multiple keyboards with no problem.

Hello Brian, 
Many thanks for the attached explanation of how iCal create quick event works. 
I did not realise it was so clever. I have just tried it and it is brilliant! 
Shows that it is worth reading the help...

Re: calendar in Lion

[Paul Hopewell]

Hi Mark, 
What you need to do is command+i to open the inspector after you have typed the 
title of the new event. Yu will then see the event details which you should 
interact with. After setting the event date and time stop interacting with the 
event details and press the show button. Yu are then done. 

I too had problems with iCal on Lion for a while but I think I have now got it 
beat. I use the month view and find that I can use the tab key to view all the 
events in chronological order for the month. It does work fine so persevere!
Best wishes

Re: Abbyy

[Gordon Smith]

We're a Mac group, not a Windows group, so we don't talk about what works under 
Windows. :) Just joking.

But actually Omnipage Pro-X for Mac is not accessible at all.

Have you tried Omnipage? That's the other OCR/scanning software I use with 
Windows which works extremely well, how does Omnipage perform on the Mac and 
how accessible is it?

Bluetooth Trackpad

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

Anybody know whether there's a reason why you can't, as it would appear, use a 
Bluetooth trackpad on the same machine as an internal trackpad is present?  I 
can get the Trackpad to connect, but it won't actually respond using standard 
gestures, whereas the internal one does.
