Re: [Mac-access]: anything better than text edit out there?

2015-01-20 Thread Debbie April Yuille
Don't you have pages on the Mac? If not, you should be able to download it
for free, or did you get your mac before Apple started giving Mac users
pages, Numbers and Keynote for free with their macs.

2015-01-20 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hi,

I use iText Express. It's a free app in the Mac app store. This is not to say 
that I don't use TextEdit at all. Because I purchased my MacBook Air just 
before the iWorks suite was hree for a new purchase, I would need to purchase 
Pages, which I did demo, but was not impressed at the time since I am a regular 
user of MS Office. HTH.

[Mac-access]: Voiceover not working

2015-01-20 Thread Juanita Martin
I haven't used the MacBook Air for a few days.  When I went to use it this 
morning, I couldn't get Voice Over to come on.  When I stopped using it last, I 
shut the lid.  I opened the lid and nothing happened.  I did the VO f5 command 
and nothing happened.  I pressed the on off key and turned it back on.  All I 
get is the chord but no Voice Over.  I'm running Yosemite.  
It's plugged in and feels warm to the touch so I know it's getting power.  
What's going on?

 Don't you have pages on the Mac? If not, you should be able to download 
 it
 for free, or did you get your mac before Apple started giving Mac users
 pages, Numbers and Keynote for free with their macs.

[Mac-access]: Getting Skype to Work Properly

2015-01-20 Thread Matthew Chao
Hi, Again, Folks.  How do I get the most recent version of Skype to work 
properly with Yosemite?  I know someone tried to contact me, but can’t find 
that particular place on the screen.  What’s the best way to work with Skype 
for Mac?  Thanks.

Re: [Mac-access]: Getting Skype to Work Properly

2015-01-20 Thread Glenn / Lenny
Isn't Skype now a Microsoft product?
I believe that MS dropped support for Skype, and the State Of Nebraska state 
agencies are blocked from using Skype.
I found this out when I purchased an I.D.Mate Quest for a client, planning 
on my client using Skype for some assistance, and I could not get it to 
work, there was no Skype in the menus, so I called Envision America about 
it, and they said since Microsoft no longer supports Skype, that they 
dropped it from their product.
So perhaps Skype is down for all networks.
I am just speculating though.

Re: [Mac-access]: anything better than text edit out there?

2015-01-20 Thread Sarah k Alawami
I use text edit after iText express crashed, plus the author cannot understand 
that we need accessibility to edit foot notes, and I've been trying to tell him 
this since 2011 now. Now my emails go unanswered.

Take care.  and I love pages as well. I used that to write, and pass my 
graduation thesis.

 Hi,
 
 I use iText Express. It's a free app in the Mac app store. This is not to say 
 that I don't use TextEdit at all. Because I purchased my MacBook Air just 
 before the iWorks suite was hree for a new purchase, I would need to purchase 
 Pages, which I did demo, but was not impressed at the time since I am a 
 regular user of MS Office. HTH.

 Don't you have pages on the Mac? If not, you should be able to download it
 for free, or did you get your mac before Apple started giving Mac users
 pages, Numbers and Keynote for free with their macs.

Re: [Mac-access]: Voiceover not working

2015-01-20 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Try turning up the volume first, if not try cmd f5, then try the trainner, in 
that order.

Good luck.

 on.  All I get is the chord but no Voice Over.  I'm running Yosemite.  
 It's plugged in and feels warm to the touch so I know it's getting power.  
 What's going on?

[Mac-access]: Problem with time machine backup disk

2015-01-20 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello, 
I am running the latest Yosemite and have a firewire connected external hard 
disk for time machine and SuperDuper! backup. 

Every time I start my iMac I get a system alert to the effect that my computer 
cannot read my external hard disk drive. I have options to ignore or eject the 
external hard disk. I always choose the ignore option and then everything works 
fine. 

Why does the above alert happen and can I do anything to stop it? 

Many thanks.

I just got iText Express and it looks good as a basic Word Processor and Text

[Mac-access]: Alert every time I start iTunes

2015-01-20 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello, 
I am running the latest Yosemite. I recently set up Apple TV and since then 
every time I start iTunes I get an alert asking whether iTunes should allow or 
deny incoming requests to connect to it. I always choose allow. 

Can I do anything to stop this alert? I checked out my firewall settings and 
see that firewall is set on but that in the firewall privacy tab iTunes is set 
to allow incoming connection requests. 

Presumably this is all happening because the Apple TV is set to stream files 
from iTunes on my iMac which presumably means that the Apple TV will need to 
connect to iTunes. 

Many thanks for any tips….
