Showing hidden files in itunes

Re: Yet Another, Question, About Xcode
Fair enough. I've been on a few apple lists since last night, and apparently you don't have much of a choice but to use objective c. Anyway, I've found a tutorial thing with some examples, so I can post the ink if anyone wants. Mind you, this is not a programming list so I guess that would be going far off topic. blah On 7 Apr 2013, at 04:53, Travis Siegel tsie...@softcon.com wrote: you can't rename the compiled file with a .app extension, because an app file is more than just the executable file. If you highlight any .app file in your hd, then ctrl click on it, or bring up the context menu, (or in terminal,, just cd to the app file itself) you can see all the other files in the app folder along with the program itself. Unless you can reconstruct this file structure, and provide valid files to replace the ones that exist in other app files, you won't have an app file, no matter what you call it. Xcode takes care of this for you, though it is possible to do the job manually, it's not something you'd really want to do if you can avoid it. It's not a fun task, and to be honest, I don't think anybody really knows how to do it, there's only a bunch of folks out there (well, ok, not a bunch, maybe just a few) who have done trial and error, and gotten it to work, but I doubt even they have a 100 percent clear understanding of what all is required, all the options that can be used, and so on. I have managed to get this to work, but like AI said, it's not fun, it's extremely error prone, and it's not something even I recomend, and that's saying a lot. If I could find sufficient documentation, I'd certainly build an app creator, because Xcode is *not* my friend, and having the ability to create app files on the fly would serve many purposes. However, until that time, you're stuck using Xcode as big a pain as it is. There are some environments that can be used that aren't Xcode, but they are not very accessible, and I've not been able to get any of them to work reliably repeatedly, which goes back to my whole I don't think anyone completely understands the app file structure/options (note I said structure and options), so in short, you're out of luck on this one. sorry, and I wish I had better news. If you find something that works all the time, I'd sure like to hear about it. I've only found a couple things that work under certain conditions, none of which I seem to have on my development machine. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: Showing hidden files in itunes
Hello George, I think you mean that you have files that you are having difficulty finding in iTunes, and that were created with Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track service, rather than that you made those tracks as hidden files. A good way to locate files that you have added to iTunes, is to select the Recently Added smart playlist in the iTunes sidebar, assuming you have your sidebar showing. The playlist will contain all tracks you added to iTunes in the last two weeks, listed chronologically. I believe that your added tracks will just have the name Text to Speech, so you may want to edit the name of the track. HTH.

How to Open link in new window?
Hi listers, I thought there was a way to open a link in a new window so that you could then return to the original web page and be in the same position. I can't seem to find that command. Here is what I'm trying to do. I am in the NLS BARD and land on a book I want to add to my wish list. I press the link and go to a new page where I add the book then press back to summery list. I then return to the original web page but am at the top and now have to sort through 18,000 items or more to get back to the place I was at. Item chooser works but is slow. If I could return to the site at the same location I left from I would save lots of time. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Re: How to Open link in new window?
You should just be able to do voiceover shift m on the link you want to open in a new window then go down to the appropriate option. Then you can use voiceover f2 to go between the windows in safari or whatever browser you're using on the mac.

Re: crosswords?
Hello Will, The Guardian crosswords are completely accessible. Go to the Guardian's crossword page and select either quick or cryptic, then choose the Standard version. On the crossword page, the clues are lists under level 4 headings. Use Hotspots to mark your place in the list of clues, then press VO-Space to jump to the grid. Type in your answer then jump back to the Hotspot. Also, while in the grid, you can read the clue again with VO-Cmd-number with the number corresponding to the Hotspot you set. I use Hotspot 0 all the way through the crossword. You can look at the letters that are already there by using just the arrow keys going right for across and down for down. You can check your answer by going left from the Across clues heading and clicking the Check button. You then jump back to your Hotspot, do VO-Space and read the letters using the arrow keys. It works great.

Re: crosswords?
Hello Will, The letters I'm talking about are the ones you've put in yourself earlier when doing, say, the across clues. I go through the cryptic crossword as quickly as possible putting in the answers I can get easily, then I go through it again seeing what letters I already have for the clues I find more difficult. That's the normal way of doing crosswords. If you find a clue you just can't get, you can even cheat by clicking the Cheat button and the answer will be filled in for you.

Hi Harmony, Sadly that did not work for me. I made sure all my Voice Over cursers were on the link and when opening the context menu I got 9 options but open in new window was not one of them. I got thinks like Back reload page Open in dashboard Save Page as... Block add and so on. More tips wanted.

Re: How to Open link in new window?
Harmony is right though. If you have the link highlighted, vo-shift- m will give you a list of options. If it's a regular link, open in new window will be one of those options. If on the other hand, it's a javascript link (honestly, I don't understand why so many page creators waste time using javascript when a perfectly good a href will do quite nicely) then the open in new window option will not appear, and the reason for that is because, the javascript action is highly dependent on what javascript is running, what variables are set, and what they are set to. It's nearly impossible for safari to know in advance what the javascript link will do when clicked, as a result, opening the link in a new window isn't possible, because there's no way for safari to know what is supposed to happen when the link is clicked. It may open a new page, it may highlight something on screen, or it may close the page all together. Safari doesn't know, vo doesn't know, and as a result, opening in a new window makes no sense in that context, so the option is removed from available options. It's anoying, but unfortunately, that's what we're stuck with. I don't use the bard system yet, I need to get signed up from scratch due to extreme stupidity on the behalf of my uncooperating library, so I can't even begin to assist with the bard site, though I sure did enjoy the web braille while I had it. sigh Ah well, hope this helps anyway. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

I have games on my mac pages, located at http://www.softcon.com/mac/ You'll find a yahtzee game, several terminal games ported from other operating systems, and several other things that are mac related. I'm playing around with a game I found recently (well, my backups tell me I found it quite some time ago, but I only recently refound it and began playing with it) which is an interesting game you play in the browser. It's interesting in that you click on colored balls, and they highlight all colored balls of the same color that are adjacent to the one you clicked on, as well as any it touches that are the same color. I've (once) gotten 11 balls to drop out all at once. A second click on any of the selected balls will eliminate them, moving the grid down/right as needed to fill in the empty spots. It starts out as a 7x7 grid, and the idea obviously is to remove all the balls from the grid. I've not managed to eliminate all the balls on the screen, but I have gotten it down to just 1 left twice, which is horrible considering how many times I've played the silly thing. Anyway, this started out as an apple sample code. I just added code to make it accessible, (mostly just adding code to make alt tags and make them behave properly) It's an adicting game, so be careful. Anyway, you can find it at: http://www.softcon.com/puzzler Give it a try, and let me know if anything needs fixed. I'm pretty sure I covered everything, but since I'm the only one who played it so far, I don't know if it's missing things other folks would want.

Re: How to Open link in new window?
Hi Eric, Travis, and Others, What happens if you temporarily change your Safari preferences so that under the tab category the pop up for Open pages in tabs instead of windows is set to never?

Re: Yet Another, Question, About Xcode
Objective c is the language of choice for apple, but Xcode supports other languages as well. I (for instance) have pascal, python, java, ruby, and probably a few others installed, and they do work, but honestly, apple isn't real gunho for other languages it seems, and the whole gui builder thing really irritates me. Siunce tiger, I've been complaining how unusable the gui creator is for vo users, and although it has gotten better with each release, it's still impossible for a vo user to build a gui interface from scratch w/o sighted assistance. There's alternatives, such as renaissance, java (I used to use java to create my gui interfaces for me, since the grid layout automatically takes care of gui layout for you) but apple no longer has seamless integration of java into Xcode. It can still be done, but it's no longer the smooth seamless process it used to be. As a result, I'm still hunting for an alternative to Xcode. I suspect I'll never find one, but I keep looking anyhow. For simple programs though, java still works quite well, since as pointed out above, guis can be created with very little fuss, and it just works. Something I can't say for Objective C and it's Xcode interface. sigh I'm strongly of the opinion that apple doesn't expect vi developers, so doesn't really do anything to support us. They obviously know we're out here, but apparently, we're such a small cross section, they must honestly feel the extra effort it would take to make things completely usable for us isn't worth the time it would take to do so, and so we're left scrambling for alternatives to do the job. Don't get me wrong, Apple has done wonderful for the vi user, and I expect even better things from them in the future, as does everyone I know who uses apple products. I can't thank apple enough for removing the access barrier which did wonders for reducing cost for those of us who don't have state agencies to purchase equipment for us, but I honestly believe that vi programmers just aren't on apple's radar, specifically because there's so few of us out here. Of course, that kind of makes the whole thing self replicating, no tools that work for vi users, means no vi programmers can develop for the platform, which eliminates the need for vi accessible development tools, and so on. sigh. I would love to be proved wrong on this point, but judging from what I've seen since 2005, I can't see any other interpretation for the available information/behavior I've personally obtained/observed. It's frustrating, but it's the state of things, so those of us who enjoy the programming end of things, just have to keep muddling along turning out what we can, and continue to hope we can manage despite the issues. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: How to Open link in new window?
If you hit cmd option shift enter it normally opens in a new window, at least for me. There is a safari extension to do this but I forgot what it was called and I uninstalled it as safari freezes when I install extensions and i can't get to the install dialogue. or button quick enough.

Unfortunately, I've tried this, and it doesn't help in this case, because the link is tied into javascript code that is rujnnning on the current page, and often, if you try to copy the link, all you get is a void(0) chunk of code, because until the link is actually clicked, nothing is there for the javascript to do. sigh Think we're stuck on this one. :) --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: How to Open link in new window?
Hi Sarah, Esther, and others, I tried Esther's and Sarah's suggestions and Sarah's worked! Command, Option, Shift, Enter pressed when on the link of the book title opened the link in a window that when closed left me back in my original location on the web site. This will be a huge time saver for me on the NLS BARD site. I look forward to trying this on other sites such as Amazon to see if it also works. I tried changing the setting as Esther described but unless I did it wrong it didn't work the way I needed. Without this community on lists like this one, how would I ever have found that key combination? Thanks everyone.

Re: How to Open link in new window?
Hi Travis, Eric, and Others, OK, if setting Safari preferences to force opening pages in a new window won't work, here's another suggestion: if you're focused on the link, try turning mouse keys on by pressing the option key 5 times, then do a Control-click on the link. You should see the options for Open Link in New Window, Open Link in New Tab, Download Linked File, etc. Arrow down to select the option to open the link in a new window and press return. Then turn mouse keys off again by pressing the option key another 5 times. I think that Eric may already have the mouse keys option checked to allow him to turn them on or off with 5 Option key presses, but for everyone else, this is under System Preferences Accessibility (or Universal Access pre-Mountain Lion) under the Mouse Trackpad options. There should be an options checkbox you can check that lets you press the Option key five times to toggle mouse keys on and off. And now that I think of it, with mouse keys turned on, you can press Control+i instead of doing a Control-click to bring up the context menu for the link. No need to click on the trackpad, since the point of mouse keys is to give you keyboard key access for these actions. Also, in Mountain Lion you should be able to press Fn-Command-Option-F5 to go to the accessibility options window. HTH.

Re: How to Open link in new window?
Hi Eric, Now I'm feeling senile and forgetful. The keyboard shortcut options are actually listed on the tab preferences pane of Safari, if you read down past the pop up menu that for opening pages in tabs or windows, and use enter instead of click.

Re: Showing hidden files in itunes
I see by my post , that I did not go into the whole story . I deleted the file from iTunes , and also hid it from iCloud . I want to reenable this file so I can download it from iCloud again.

A good way to locate files that you have added to iTunes, is to select the Recently Added smart playlist in the iTunes sidebar, assuming you have your sidebar showing. The playlist will contain all tracks you added to iTunes in the last two weeks, listed chronologically. I believe that your added tracks will just have the name Text to Speech, so you may want to edit the name of the track. HTH.

Re: How to Open link in new window?
Hi Esther and others, I found the short cuts where you indicated but I would not have known to substitute enter for click. One more interesting detail. I believe I did try command, Option, Enter on the link and nothing happened several times. I went back to the NLS BARD site and practiced a bit. I found that if I am going down the list and land on the link I want to open in a new window it often doesn't respond to Command, Option, Enter or Shift, Command, Option Enter unless I arrow away from the link then come back to it. It then seems to work consistently. So if the command is not working for someone out there try arrowing away and then back to the link. Like Esther I was questioning my memory as I thought command,Option Enter was supposed to open a link in a new window. But, it just was not working! Now, it does if I arrow away and back. Doing a mouse click on the link also did not make the key command work. Still this is a quick way to get the site to do what I need.

Looking to buy a mac
Hello all. I am needing to buy a new computer. I was planning on buying a mac and doing some kind of partition or running windows virtually on it for windows stuff I still wanted to use. The newer macs may be a little bit pricy for me and I did see on amazon they had some of the older mac book pros for reasonable prices. Any thoughts on what to get. Does anyone know anybody who puts them together and if it would be cheaper to buy parts and have someone do that? I am just basically asking what to look for in one and where I can get one for the best price. Thanks for any help, Matt --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: Looking to buy a mac
Mac aren't like windows pcs, there is no buying parts, andhaving someone put them together. What you buy from apple is all there is. There'sveral places you can purchase used/older macs, my favorite is powermax.com. They even have some of the old minimacs that are ppc based. Good thing? They're less than 200 bucks. Of course, they have brand-new machines too, so give them a shot. See if they have something you can use. As far as putting windows on it, you'd use boot camp for that, and as long as you have an intel mac (all but the oldest macs are) then you're all set. Anythiprior to 2006 or 2007 (I forget which) are not intel, anything newer than that is all intel, so you won't haveissues. hth. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

I need some advice regarding the purchase of a new Macintosh system
I know it's not May as of yet, so I have a bit still yet to financially save, but I do want to be at least going ahead and doing my homework on things. I myself am a huge Apple fanatic. By now, you all should know that. I have IPhones here, IPads, a mac mini, a Mac book, a few apple TV's, etc. Needless to say, I love! Apple! With this said, here is the situation. My mother currently has an old Dell Demention desktop Windows tower machine. Hold on, before you,Gordon or Lynn chew me out saying this list isn't Windows related, let me finish my comment, then you'll know why I'm mentioning the Windows side of this, as believe me, this post has hardly anything! to do with Windows. I say this though so you all know what she's got currently. So, it's running Windows XP SP3, I'm not sure the ram nor hard disk size. I know she bought the thing back in 2004. I want to say a 50 or 80 gig drive, roughly, I'd say around 512MB ram. This thing's got spyware galore on it, probably viruses left and right, and honestly has not been scanned nor updated in probably over 2 years. I keep telling her to do it, but that leads me to why I'm writing this e-mail... She is extremely! basic when it comes to computers. When her company made her stop using a Blackberry (or as I'd call it, a Crap berry,) she went into using her work IPhone 4S kicking and screaming. Between myself and one of my mom and I's best friends who's like a brother to me, and like a 2nd son to her, we both worked with her, and got her to where now, she doesn't do a huge amount with her phone aside texting and e-mail, and maybe using her camera a fair amount etc. I think she's used Pandora maybe once or twice, and she uses Downcast almost constantly. Point is, she's not a huge techy like I am, or a lot of us are on list. She has seen my Mac computers and said they actually looked really easy to use from what little she saw. I told her compared to windows, I personally had to whole heartedly agree. To me, the mac makes way more sense. It just seems to be way better laid out, and for beginners, seems to be extremely intuitive. With this said, her birthday is May the 6th. I'm going to be getting her a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion, as frankly, she really! does need a new computer. And, she's really starting to get more into the Apple line of things. She's got an Apple TV 2nd generation, and watches Hulu Plus all the time! on the thing, plus her Netflix. She's in heaven with the thing! That was her BD gift last year. Also, her sister gave her an IPad 1st generation which she swears by. So, I come to you all, for advice. She probably wont' do much more than browsing the web in Safari, or maybe in Chrome/Firefox, she may do some basic and I do, mean, very! very! basic photo viewing/editing, like cropping or resizing in Preview/IPhoto. (She's sighted.) She'll probably check E-mail a fair amount with the Mail application, and probably would want to do some stuff with Itunes, and she'll probably wind up using IWorks. Also she may use the native DVD player app a bit to watch movies. She's not going to be doing a lot of heavy duty stuff. No audio editing, no video editing, no hard powered core photo editing, just more the very basic stuff. She currently has a monitor with her Dell system, but it's V G A only. The minis require HDMI. Yes, I know about the adapter that comes in the mac mini box to convert that HDMI, but she doesn't have a port that even would fit the adapter, and her monitor doesn't have HDMI either. I thought about getting her maybe a Dynex, or Samsung, or Acer or some really inexpensive flatscreen HDMI ready television that she could hook to the mini, but I wonder if you all know of any good make/model with built in stereo speakrers. This way, she also wouldn't have to be concerned with getting a set of pc speakers. Actually, she's already got a pair, so if worst came to worst, we could use the ones she already has. Also, do you all think the I5 4GB ram model with the 500GB internal drive would suit her fine based on her needs listed above? I'm thinking by far and away! it would, plus! probably would give her plenty! of wiggle room to learn and explore. I bought the $70 CD/DVD USB superdrive with my mini, and I absolutely swear by it, so I may eventually down the road get her one a those as well, although it's not something right now she really desperetly needs. Also, what type keyboard do you all suggest I get her if I wanna get her a native Apple keyboard? I don't want her having to use a Windows PC keyboard on a Mac system. Yes, I do realize it would work just fine, but I'd rather get her something a little nicer. I personally have the white flat metel aluminum wired USB Apple keyboard with the num pad included, but I'm not sure if Apple is still making it. I think I paid in the neighborhood of about $49.99 for the thing. It was, so! worth it
Re: I need some advice regarding the purchase of a new Macintosh system
I think but I'm not sure that the mini comes with an apple bt keyboard. so you might be fine there. If not you can get her the apple usb full size keyboard. The specs look good and maybe get her a monitor from wally world on clearance. and maybe the magic track pad of the 1 button mouse won't work. Take care.

I say this though so you all know what she's got currently. So, it's running Windows XP SP3, I'm not sure the ram nor hard disk size. I know she bought the thing back in 2004. I want to say a 50 or 80 gig drive, roughly, I'd say around 512MB ram. This thing's got spyware galore on it, probably viruses left and right, and honestly has not been scanned nor updated in probably over 2 years. I keep telling her to do it, but that leads me to why I'm writing this e-mail... She is extremely! basic when it comes to computers. When her company made her stop using a Blackberry (or as I'd call it, a Crap berry,) she went into using her work IPhone 4S kicking and screaming. Between myself and one of my mom and I's best friends who's like a brother to me, and like a 2nd son to her, we both worked with her, and got her to where now, she doesn't do a huge amount with her phone aside texting and e-mail, and maybe using her camera a fair amount etc. I think she's used Pandora maybe once or twice, and she uses Downcast almost constantly. Point is, she's not a huge techy like I am, or a lot of us are on list. She has seen my Mac computers and said they actually looked really easy to use from what little she saw. I told her compared to windows, I personally had to whole heartedly agree. To me, the mac makes way more sense. It just seems to be way better laid out, and for beginners, seems to be extremely intuitive. With this said, her birthday is May the 6th. I'm going to be getting her a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion, as frankly, she really! does need a new computer. And, she's really starting to get more into the Apple line of things. She's got an Apple TV 2nd generation, and watches Hulu Plus all the time! on the thing, plus her Netflix. She's in heaven with the thing! That was her BD gift last year. Also, her sister gave her an IPad 1st generation which she swears by. So, I come to you all, for advice. She probably wont' do much more than browsing the web in Safari, or maybe in Chrome/Firefox, she may do some basic and I do, mean, very! very! basic photo viewing/editi ng, like cropping or resizing in Preview/IPhoto. (She's sighted.) She'll probably check E-mail a fair amount with the Mail application, and probably would want to do some stuff with Itunes, and she'll probably wind up using IWorks. Also she may use the native DVD player app a bit to watch movies. She's not going to be doing a lot of heavy duty stuff. No audio editing, no video editing, no hard powered core photo editing, just more the very basic stuff. She currently has a monitor with her Dell system, but it's V G A only. The minis require HDMI. Yes, I know about the adapter that comes in the mac mini box to convert that HDMI, but she doesn't have a port that even would fit the adapter, and her monitor doesn't have HDMI either. I thought about getting her maybe a Dynex, or Samsung, or Acer or some really inexpensive flatscreen HDMI ready television that she could hook to the mini, but I wonder if you all know of any good make/model with built in stereo speakrers. This way, she also wouldn't have to be concerned with getting a set of pc speakers. Actually, she's already got a pair, so if worst came to worst, we could use the ones she already has. Also, do you all think the I5 4GB ram model with the 500GB internal drive would suit her fine based on her needs listed above? I'm thinking by far and away! it would, plus! probably would give her plenty! of wiggle room to learn and explore. I bought the $70 CD/DVD USB sup erdrive with my mini, and I absolutely swear by it, so I may eventually down the road get her one a those as well, although it's not something right now she really desperetly needs. Also, what type keyboard do you all suggest I get her if I

Re: How to Open link in new window?
Hi Eric, Thanks for reporting back. I think the shortcuts listed on the Safari preference pane for tabs did work more reliably in earlier versions of Safari, and there was at least one web page that I found where using a control+mouse click on a link -- not just a mouse click alone -- worked to bring up the context menu. (With mouse keys turned on, I held down the Control key and then tapped the i key. I did not have NumPad Commander enabled on a laptop with the third-party KeyRemap4MacBook software loaded.) The substitution of enter for click in the listed shortcuts works for the same reason that using Option+Enter works for VoiceOver users to force downloads of linked files, while general Mac users will know this as using the Option+Click shortcut to force downloads of files. This may also explain the situations where usage with VoiceOver gets flakey. By the way, I'll continue to describe this as Option+Enter, but a Mac purist would say this is Option+Return. There's a different keyboard code for the Enter key than for the Return key, and the Enter key can be used to rename files in Finder, but it cannot be used to exit dialog windows by sending the default selections, as the Return key does, both on the Mac, and on the virtual keyboard of iOS devices. If VoiceOver is not turned on, but the mouse cursor is positioned at a link, pressing the Option key while clicking with either mouse of Trackpad indicates the selected file that is clicked on should be downloaded. But if VoiceOver is turned on, we are using full keyboard access, and this means that in addition to the standard shortcut keys, Space bar selects a highlighted button and Return opens a highlighted link. When the VoiceOver cursor moves to the link, it highlights it in the same way that clicking on the link indicates selection (along with a command to open the link). So when we use Option+Enter (really Return), with VoiceOver on (and focused on the link), and hence with full keyboard access enabled, we perform the same selection and activation with the Option key modifier as sighted users do with Option+Click. Here's another way to tell that highlighting the selection (done with VoiceOver focused on the link) plus pressing Option+Enter works to force a dow nload: whether or not someone is using VoiceOver. If you started playing an mp3 file associated with a link in your browser, because you clicked on the link, you can force the file to download without going back to the link by pressing Command+L, which moves to the address bar and highlights the URL, and then pressing Option+Enter (really Return). That works whether or not someone is using VoiceOver. Now lets look at the cases where people have had problems highlighting a link and forcing a download with Option+Enter. The most common case people reported of not simply being able to move to the link, route their mouse cursor to the VoiceOver cursor, and press Option+Enter to download, was on the podcast links of the main Blind Cool Tech podcast page. Unless you first interact with that link, which also gets announced as a heading, you could not use Option+Enter to download the podcast. Also, another thing that did not work unless your first interacted with the link to the podcast on the BCT podcast page was getting the context menu options to open the linked content in a new page or download it when you used VO-Shift-M. I think what may happen in problem cases where these Option+Enter (equivalent to Option-click) and Command+Option+Shift+Enter (equivalent to command+option+shift+click) shortcuts do not work, is that the HTML coding for the link on the page is not letting VoiceOver automatically highlight the necessary information for the link within the VoiceOver cursor. This reminds me a bit of the navigation experience in the old MobileMe web pages, where, like your arrowing away from and then back on to a link in order to use the Shift-Command-Option-Enter shortcut, some of what I could do depended on how I navigated to the web page elements. This is just conjecture, but it does explain why, if other web page elements are present, you might find using the shortcuts apparently unreliable. Command-Option-Enter should have opened the link in a new window, while Shift-Command-Option-Enter should have opened the link in a new window and made it the active window. (I think Sarah must have the box in Safari preferences for tabs, for When a new tab or window opens, make it active.) Josh asked, in another post, how one changed the settings on the Safari Preferences window for tabs. I'm not sure if this is what he means, but basically, you can set your preferences to open new web pages in either a new tab of your browser, or a new window. The current default setting for Safari is to open new web pages in a new tab. Some versions back, the default used to be to open new web pages in a new window. You make your

Sarah, you are mistaking on thinking the mini comes with a Bluetooth keyboard. You're thinking of the IMac. I know this based on both my internet research, and the fact that I bought a brand new mini for myself last February, as stated in my initial e-mail, and it didn't have any sort of thing with it. All you get is the mini itself, the power cord, the adapter, and a getting started pamphlet, and maybe the paperwork for the extended Apple care, if you get that, which I've not as of yet.

odd things happening with mail
Ok. this is going to be an odd one. I for some reason today have been having mail go out through my university account even though it's disabled under my mail prefs both for sending and receiving mail. I removed that account and all seems well now, I hope, how ever once I add that account I dunno how to solve this one. I googled but all I got was a forum post on apple's support community bashing apple. lol! Not what I wanted to read. Anyways if this gets through the list can someone please to the 4th power tell me how to fix this? I don't want to miss anything from my university and I want to have things back to the way they were yesterday when this did not happen wherein I could enable the account, send a message, disable the account and have the messages and inbox and sent for that matter go die. and I would be able to send from my default account, period! I don't want to get in to any trouble by my university so I'm trying to clear this up as quickly as I can.

I know this based on both my internet research, and the fact that I bought a brand new mini for myself last February, as stated in my initial e-mail, and it didn't have any sort of thing with it. All you get is the mini itself, the power cord, the adapter, and a getting started pamphlet, and maybe the paperwork for the extended Apple care, if you get that, which I've not as of yet. I need to though.

If not you can get her the apple usb full size keyboard. The specs look good and maybe get her a monitor from wally world on clearance. and maybe the magic track pad of the 1 button mouse won't work. Take care.

I myself am a huge Apple fanatic. By now, you all should know that. I have IPhones here, IPads, a mac mini, a Mac book, a few apple TV's, etc. Needless to say, I love! Apple! With this said, here is the situation. My mother currently has an old Dell Demention desktop Windows tower machine. Hold on, before you,Gordon or Lynn chew me out saying this list isn't Windows related, let me finish my comment, then you'll know why I'm mentioning the Windows side of this, as believe me, this post has hardly anything! to do with Windows. I say this though so you all know what she's got currently. So, it's running Windows XP SP3, I'm not sure the ram nor hard disk size. I know she bought the thing back in 2004. I want to say a 50 or 80 gig drive, roughly, I'd say around 512MB ram. This thing's got spyware galore on it, probably viruses left and right, and honestly has not been scanned nor updated in probably over 2 years. I keep telling her to do it, but that leads me to why I'm writing this e-mail... She is extremely! basic when it comes to computers. When her company made her stop using a Blackberry (or as I'd call it, a Crap berry,) she went into using her work IPhone 4S kicking and screaming. Between myself and one of my mom and I's best friends who's like a brother to me, and like a 2nd son to her, we both worked with her, and got her to where now, she doesn't do a huge amount with her phone aside texting and e-mail, and maybe using her camera a fair amount etc. I think she's used Pandora maybe once or twice, and she uses Downcast almost constantly. Point is, she's not a huge techy like I am, or a lot of us are on list. She has seen my Mac computers and said they actually looked really easy to use from what little she saw. I told her compared to windows, I personally had to whole heartedly agree. To me, the mac makes way more sense. It just seems to be way better laid out, and for beginners, seems to be extremely intuitive. With this said, her birthday is May the 6th. I'm going to be getting her a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion, as frankly, she really! does need a new computer. And, she's really starting to get more into the Apple line of things. She's got an Apple TV 2nd generation, and watches Hulu Plus all the time! on the thing, plus her Netflix. She's in heaven with the thing! That was her BD gift last year. Also, her sister gave her an IPad 1st generation which she swears by. So, I come to you all, for advice. She probably wont' do much more than browsing the web in Safari, or maybe in Chrome/Firefox, she may do some basic and I do, mean, very! very! basic photo viewing/editi ng, like cropping or resizing in Preview/IPhoto. (She's sighted.) She'll probably check E-mail a fair amount with the Mail application, and probably would want to do some stuff with Itunes, and she'll probably wind up using IWorks. Also she may use the native DVD player app a bit to watch movies. She's not going to be doing a lot of heavy duty stuff. No audio editing, no video editing, no hard powered core photo editing, just more the very basic stuff. She
