Re: ios 7.1: convert vs. convela

[Glenn]

I am using the Australian voice, and it pronounces it correctly.
Then I switch to the American voice and it says something weird like covey 
eyed
So it is a bug with the American voice.  Perhaps that is why the Apple tech 
did not hear it.

Subject: ios 7.1: convert vs. convela


I  need to know if this is happening to others.
When reading the word "convert " with vO on a  device running ios 7.1, the 
word
"convert "  is pronounced "convela" I  have had 2  others check this out, 
and
they get the same result. I  know this is crazy, and have know idea why this 
is
happening, or how a  vO pronunciation could have changed. It was speaking it
correctly in ios 7.0.6.

Please let me know if this is happening on your ios7.1  device(s).

Thanks,
Diane

Samnet Socializer

[Laurel and Stockard]

So, I'm looking at using Samnet Socializer sold by Serotek. I've heard it can 
help me better access social media as well as blog and run a personal website. 
Do any of you use this with the mac, iPad and iPhone and with Voiceover? Would 
you recommend this product? And finally, how compatible is this with Apple and 
the Mac?
Thanks

Re: a file vault question

[Sarah k Alawami]

Ah thanks for that. In the case of my her name it will be the one used for my 
home directory right? or would it be my admin name? sorry. I just want to ask 
all of this before I  accidentally lock myself out of my computer. That would 
not be good.

Take care.

Re: My First Experience With Thunderbolt Storage Media

[Christopher Gilland]

Hello Gordon.

this is very encouraging to hear, as I was actually considering purchasing a 
thunderbolt Drive in the future. how did those speeds calculate in comparison 
to USB 3.0? More specifically, how many times faster would you estimate that 
the thunderbolt probably is?
at any rate, thanks again for the suggestion, and for the information.

Chris.

My First Experience With Thunderbolt Storage Media

[Gordon Smith]

Hello everybody

As the final part of a systems upgrade here at Mac Access, I took delivery 
earlier on today of 2 LaCie LittleBig RAID disk arrays. These drives only 
support Striped and Mirror RAID configurations, as each enclosure contains 2 
high capacity 7200 RPM 2TB SATA drives.  It was a deliberate choice that I made 
when we decided to invest in the hardware a couple of weeks ago.  I could have 
had 1 Promise enclosure which would have given me an 8TB capacity but doing it 
this way means that I can deploy the solutions across more than one system.

I have to admit that I was a little skeptical when I read the specifications of 
Thunderbolt some time ago in an Intel® technical document.  However, having now 
seen it in action, I believe it!

The protocol out-performs USB3 by a very long way, giving you a staggering 
bi-directional stream, each of which allows for up to 10GB simultaneously.  It 
should be stressed that 10GB is 10 Gigabits, not Gigabytes, there is a 
difference.

In any event, I am absolutely blown away by the awesome speed of Thunderbolt, 
something which PC users can only dream about.

For us personally, combined with the 2 cloud solution drives which I installed 
on our networks recently, this really is going to be the ultimate in system 
storage.  If you are thinking of upgrading to Thunderbolt, all I can say is you 
won’t regret it I’m sure.

Kind regards

Re: Downloading purchased audiobooks

[Travis Siegel]

Then, you should download your audio books from audible instead,  
that's where Itunes gets it's books anyway (or at least used to be)  
and they don't have any restrictions on how long they keep your books  
for you.  You can download them whenever you like.  There's still a  
book I purchased in 2000 that is on my shelf waiting for me to  
download it if I should ever have to again.
Generally, Itunes is more expensive than audible anyhow, especially if  
you have a membership (even if it's just the $9.95 a year plan) so  
it's all around better to skip Itunes for audio books anyhow.

Re: Downloading purchased audiobooks

[Matthew Carello]

If your responding to Mary Beth’s post she said Audible. That is a different 
service then iTunes grin. They would not show up there. I would imagine that 
you would have to download them from audible. Also the same thing goes for text 
tones in ITunes. You can not redownload those either. I would imagine that with 
tones and audio books purchased from ITunes it would be best to back them up 
somewhere and keep them as safe as you could.
