[Mac-access]: Can't move messages to trash on my Mac

2015-03-22 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

I’ve deleted and set up again this mail account on my Mac. Now however, when I 
hit the delete key on an email, it brings up a message saying unable to move 
message to folder [null]. Anybody know what’s going on?

Many thanks -

Before I got responses to my message, I deleted and created the account again, 
but this time I changed from imap to pop3, and all is working. I don’t believe 
changing the delivery method has had anything to do with fixing this, but 
mention it just for purposes of clarity -

 I've had this happen.  I don't remember how I solved it, but check the 
 mailbox settings, and see if it has the various mailboxes setup to put things 
 into.  I did fix it, so it's something fixable from the mail app, because I 
 don't remember having to do anything out of the ordinary to solve it.
 Sorry I can't be more specific here.  Also, check your disk space, it could 
 be that your hd is full, and mail can't copy the messages to the proper 
 places, and it's getting upset, but I believe that's a different message, 
 (Yes, I've had that one too).

Hi Lewis -

I too have it on the iPhone, the only way there I can get rid of messages is to 
turn on airplane mode, then using the actions setting on the rotor, they will 
delete, but for some reason they don’t when I am connected via wi-fi or 3g! -

 Hi Andy,
 
 I've not experienced this on my Mac, but I have on the iPhone. Have
 you tried quitting and restarting mail to see if that helps?
 It may also be that the Mail settings have somehow got corrupted, well
 the Mail folders at least anyway. It may be worth looking into the
 Mail Preferences and resetting Mail settings.
 Regards.
 Lewis.

Re: [Mac-access]: Got a couple of questions.

2014-12-16 Thread Andy Collins
Hi Gary -

Firstly, I’m not sure how well IOS 8.1.2 works on the 4-s; maybe somebody else 
can comment on that, but in respect of the issue you are experiencing with it, 
you could try a reset by pressing and holding both the power and home buttons 
for about 10-15 seconds. This kind of reset can often clear out strange 
behaviour, and you won’t lose anything from the phone by doing this -

 Hello everyone.
 This is Gary Price here.
 
 I've got a couple of questions. I hope someone on here can help.
 
 My first question concerns my Macbook 2008 running Lion10.7.
 I've recently done a re-install of the operating system off my 8GB memory 
 stick.
 I put my Apple ID password on at first. But eventually I thought that was a 
 bit basic. So I changed it.
 After a while though, I had to reset it because even though I was doing it 
 right it kept saying Login failed.
 
 So now on my Mac I've got 2 chains stored, the old password and the new one. 
 Please is there a way of deleting the old password?
 
 My second question concerns my iPhone4S. At the moment my iCloud keychain is 
 turned on, but its pending.
 But I've got a very strange problem. Not sure how to explain it.
 Basically when I double tap with VoiceOver approove with security code, 
 VoiceOver says Password secure text field is editing. So it wants my Apple ID 
 password.
 But here's the strange thing, the keyboard to type it in isn't at the bottom 
 of the screen where it would be normally. In stead, its showing the status 
 bar.
 But not only that, but along the screen its showing a lot of rubbish which i 
 can't make any sence of!
 This is using the latest iOS 8.1.2
 
 I hope that someone can answer either of these questions.
 Thanks very much for all your help and I look forward to any responses.

[Mac-access]: How do I eject a disk that isn't visible on the desk top

2014-11-22 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

I don’t know why, but when I connect my Braille note-taker to my Mac, it isn’t 
visible on the desk top as a mounted drive in the way that external USB drives 
are, and therefore I can’t execute a command e to safely eject it before 
disconnecting. consequently, I have now lost access to the flash drive on the 
note-taker. What can I do?

Is there a way to fix the flash drive, a hard re-set didn’t do it. Also, how do 
we reject a drive that isn’t visible on the desk top, or maybe the question is 
how to make it visible for ejecting?

Need much help with this as it is a serious matter -

[Mac-access]: Need help using a Braille notetaker in terminal mode

2014-11-20 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

 I’m trying to hook up a Braillesense Plus to both my iPhone 6 and my Mac, but 
getting nowhere.

I select terminal mode from utilities, and then select USB port to connect it 
to the Mac. However, the display just shows the words terminal mode, which I 
think means it’s connected, but nothing I do on my Mac shows up on the display. 
So, How do I get rid of the displayed text that says terminal mode, and have 
the display read what I want to send to it from the Mac?

The other issue is regarding pairing my iPhone 6 to the Braillesense plus. It 
just isn’t happening. Again, I select terminal mode, and this time select 
Bluetooth serial port, the display then shows that text that just says terminal 
mode, so again, I think this means it is ready for pairing, so I go to my 
phone, tap on the Braillesense plus, icon, put in the pairing code of , but 
every time, I just get the pairing unsuccessful message.

I”m hoping somebody can resolve these two issues for me.

Thanks -

Andy

 display. So, How do I get rid of the displayed text that says terminal mode, 
 and have the display read what I want to send to it from the Mac?
 
 The other issue is regarding pairing my iPhone 6 to the Braillesense plus. It 
 just isn’t happening. Again, I select terminal mode, and this time select 
 Bluetooth serial port, the display then shows that text that just says 
 terminal mode, so again, I think this means it is ready for pairing, so I go 
 to my phone, tap on the Braillesense plus, icon, put in the pairing code of 
 , but every time, I just get the pairing unsuccessful message.
 
 I”m hoping somebody can resolve these two issues for me.
 
 Thanks -

[Mac-access]: Notification of unread emails

2014-11-15 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

Since installing Yosemite, in the email app, new messages are no longer 
reported as unread; instead, VO says ‘image’, and when I cursor away and back 
to the message, VO doesn’t say image again, but blank, as if the message has 
been read. How do I get back the notification that says unread? -

 4. Under Music find iTunes.

 What I did was arrow across to the table of Languages interacted with it then 
 arrowed down to Spanish stopped interacting then arrowed right and another 
 table with 2 options was there [Spanish or Spanish - ISO] So I suppose you 
 would need to pick one of those 2 options!
 Then there is an add default button if your happy with your choice just press 
 enter!
 PS I noticed the table of Languages is to the left of the search field past a

[Mac-access]: How do I add a Spanish keyboard layout to my Mac?

2014-11-06 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

Thanks to Anne I now have accented lettering sorted out, but following her 
suggestion, I’ve had a good look around my system, but can’t see anywhere to 
add a second keyboard. I’ve looked under keyboard in system preferences, but 
nothing there it seems.

In the meantime, can anybody tell me how to create a inverted question mark, 
this is something used regularly in Spanish, but I can’t find it on this 
regular keyboard layout -

Re: [Mac-access]: Accented letters on a Mac

Hi Anne -

I’ve been playing around with the keyboard, but can’t find how to create other 
acute accents. In Spanish the acute accent is used with all five vowels, but I 
can only find an acute E by using the options key. Have I missed something? -

 You get accented letters by using the Option key with various letters.
 Option-e - accute accent;

 Option-q - OE diphthong.
 
 Do you need any others?

Thanks for the acute accent clarification, and I’ll take a look at adding a

 Hello Andy,
 
 Option-e gives an accute accent as a dead key, so you can type any 
 appropriate lettre afterwards and the accute accent will be applied to it. 
 This is true of all the other accents I gave you.
 
 However, if you’re typing a lot of Spanish, why not add the Spanish keyboard 
 layout in System preferences so that you can switch to it when you need it? 
 This is what I do for French, but sometimes, I just can’t be bothered to 
 switch my brain over to thinking in the azerty layout which is why I’m so 
 familiar with all those accents on a British keyboard.
 
 Cheers,

 For example If I do this on my documents folder I find at the top of the 
 window are my folder alias files but after that the folders are all grouped 
 together alphabetically followed by a similar alphabetical list of the single 
 files in the . Given that that Finder pretty much treats the folder alias as

Re: [Mac-access]: Sorting finder with folders on top on mac?

Ah, so it doesn’t actually create a copy of the file, just a pointer to it? -

 I find that if I am in column view

 by kind pretty much delivers this result.
 For example If I do this on my documents folder I find at the top of the 
 window are my folder alias files but after that the folders are all grouped 
 together alphabetically followed by a similar alphabetical list of the 
 single files in the . Given that that Finder pretty much treats the folder 
 alias as a folder anyway this makes some sense.
 
 So in most practical sense this this replicates the Windows or Android  or 
 Linux arrangement

 is there a way to put the folders at the top and the files below the

Re: [Mac-access]: Still got this weird Braille onscreen issue

 Have you tried to uncheck the checkbox that says Braille Follows

 I am not entirely sure if it's under Braille or Navigation Settings in

Any amplifier recommendations for use with headphones on a Mac?

2014-10-25 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

When I booted in to repair mode [command r] and Fred began speaking, the volume 
output was so low I could hardly hear him, and found it difficult to understand 
what he was reading on the screen. I already have an fiio headphones amp, that 
does help with boosting sound in general, but I  could really do with something 
a bit more powerful, for situations like the above, but also for listening to 
music, especially when I use my excellent Beyer headphones with my iPhone 6. 
The Beyers have a great sound, but not enough power without being boosted.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks -

 everything on your Mac if you lose it or it’s stolen. And once you know what 
 the beeps mean at login, the process is perfectly accessible. It’s important 
 to learn what the beeps mean though, as I stuffed it up the first time and 
 had to decrypt and encrypt again. One beep is to type in the user name, two 
 beeps is to type in your password, and three beeps means you are logging in. 
 If you type the username or password incorrectly, it just repeats the 
 relevant beep signal.

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?

2014-10-23 Thread Andy Collins
I’ve never reinstalled an operating system in all my computing days, and don’t 
just want to try the keystroke command r on boot up just to see what happens, 
in case I get stuck and can’t get out!

So, if I do this keystroke on boot up, what can I expect to see? I’m thinking 
about doing a clean installation of Yosemite, but certainly don’t want to mess 
things up -

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?

2014-10-23 Thread Andy Collins
Hi Phil -

Thanks for this. Couple of things if that’s ok, or if anybody else wants to 
chime in and help:

Is it worth going for a clean installation, or will the upgrade to Yosemite 
effectively be like a new install, giving things a tweak if needed?

I was also interested in what you said about repairing permissions, is it 
better then to do this from within the command r screen rather than from disc 
utility?

Thanks -

Andy

 Andy, I just did the following before answering your question:
 1) restart the mac.
 2) at the log on chime sound, immediately press and hold command + R.
 3) hold for a full fifteen seconds then release.
 4) wait another 10 seconds and then turn on VoiceOver with command +F5.
 
 Note: these times vary. I’d stick with the initial fifteen seconds although 
 it might be overkill. if the ten seconds still doesn’t bring up Fred, keep 
 trying - it’ll come up talking in a bit. Fred comes up as the default 
 recovery mode voice.
 end note:
 
 6) you are presented with the recovery mode menu that has a table containing 
 three options, reinstall OSX, get help, and Disk Utility.
 BTW: this is the preferred disk utility app for doing permissions repairs.
 
 After you finish with the recovery mode, simply quit with command Q and 
 you’ll be prompted to reboot with options for which disk to boot into - 
 default is your Mac HD.
 
 To reinstall the OS, simply select the option from the table and hit enter, 
 then follow the yellow brick road.

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?

2014-10-23 Thread Andy Collins
I’m grateful for all this info, but I feel I have bits and pieces of how to go 
about it, and not everybody is saying the same thing. Think I’ll have a look on 
Applevis and see if there are any podcasts about installing the OS. If I wive 
the hard disc ahead of a clean install, won’t I lose speech rendering a clean 
install impossible? I want my system to run as best as possible, but don’t want 
to mess up what is still working okay -

On 23 Oct 2014, at 18:53, David Griffith daj.griff...@gmail.com wrote:

 No it is command R.
 To do a clean install you need to erase your hard disc from within the Disk 
 Utility also in the recovery console.
 
 Remember the famous tricky part when you come to sign into the App Store 
 though to be honest I have done this a few times now and it no longer seems 
 tricky.
 
 1. You initially appear not to be able to access the login page.
 2. Press VO F2 twice to bring up the window chooser. You may have to add the 
 FN key to VO depending on your settings.
 3.  Make sure you are in the sign in to app store window.
 5. Press VO Command F5 to make sure your mouse is focussed on the sign in 
 window.
 6.Press Shift VO space bar to simulate a mouse click
 7. You should now be able to sign in mormally  to the
 App Store and download your OS.

On-screen Braille when no Braille display is connected

2014-10-23 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

Although there is no Braille display connected to my Mac, Braille is still 
being displayed on-screen. I have been using a display, but now even after 
several reboots, I can’t get rid of this issue. I don’t know it’s there, VO 
isn’t reporting anything, but to those with eyes, Braille symbols are displayed 
somewhere on the screen all of the time.

Anybody know what is going on here and how to resolve it. It is having an 
effect on the Mac’s performance, as it freezes at times, and gets stuck in busy 
mode. I’d really like to do a clean install with Yosemite, but am nervous about 
that, having never done it before, and not knowing the complete steps -

I seem to have messed up my iPhone with iTunes

2014-10-15 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

I was trying to do a updated sync between iTunes and my iPhone 6, and now the 
music isn’t showing up in the music app, on the phone,and yet when I look at 
the summary table, something called ‘other’ is 40GB in size. This is my music 
library, but why is it no longer in the music app on the phone, and how do I 
access it under this category called ‘other’? There’s nothing on my phone 
called other, and I can’t seem to get access to it either from in iTunes. I 
tried resetting the phone [power button and home button] just to see if 
something had got locked up, but this didn’t fix it.

Any ideas please? -

Amadeus thinks I haven't bought a licence

2014-10-13 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

I bought  Amadeus lite from the Apple Mac store a couple of months ago. When I 
tried to save a new recording today, I got a message telling me that I was 
using a demo of the app, and couldn’t save any further files without buying a 
licence. I don’t think I’ve ever had a licence for it because I just bought it 
from the App store and not directly from the manufacturer.

I’ve reset parameters and permissions, just to see, but it’s made no 
difference. Anybody any ideas? -

 besides 
 the 4s is  probably 2 years out of date.  so getting a 5s at least is

Re: Problems upgrading iPhone?

2014-09-23 Thread Andy Collins
Paul - I backed up my 5 to my Mac, and did a restore from back up to my 6, and 
all went well, including the porting across of my home screens with their 
folders, many of which I had created myself. I think the important thing is 
that when you turn on your 5S, and are prompted to set it up, don’t choose the 
set up as new phone, instead choose restore from, and the destination of your 
back up -

 Hello, 
 I have an iPhone 3GS 16GB running the latest IOS 6 and syncing to my iMac 
 running the latest iTunes. I have about 30 Apps on the phone which I spent a 
 long time arranging into folders on the home page. Many of these Apps have 
 associated data such as userids,passwords, favourite destinations, weight, 
 and so on. 
 
 I am about to purchase an iPhone 5S 32GB. I initially want it configured 
 identically to the 3GS - same Apps, same folder structure, and same App data. 
 I initially want to keep the 3GS as a backup phone. Later I may want to add 
 some extra IOS 8 only Apps to the 5S and also add more music to the 5S to 
 exploit its greater storage. 
 
 When I first connect the 5S to iTunes will it get the same name as the 3GS by 
 default? If so will the 5S then be automatically configured like the 3GS with 
 the same Apps, same folders, and same App data? Does the fact that the 3GS is 
 IOS 6 and only 16GB while the 5S is IOS 8 and 32GB cause any problems? 
 
 IF the above works OK can I still connect the 3GS to iTunes and sync it 
 possibly with new Apps in the normal way? Can I later change the name of the 
 5S so that I can add IOS 8 only Apps and more music to that and meanwhile 
 leaving the 3GS with is current Apps and music? 
 
 If I give the 5S a different name than the 3GS during initial 5S setup then 
 will iTunes consider it to be a completely different device? If so then 
 presumably I would have to do all the work on the 5S to manually build the 
 same folder structure to the 3GS and I would also have to manually set up all 
 the Apps on the 5S with the same data as the Apps on the 3GS. That looks like 
 a lot of work. However it would then enable me to install extra Apps and 
 extra music on the 5S.
 
 What do you advise me to do?
 Many thanks.

 I have the 16GB version, and I've had very little trouble with it.  The 
 biggest issue I have at the moment, is that sometimes (happens more when the 
 battery is low) when I double tap on something to activate it, the phone 
 will instead move to the next item on the screen, instead of activating my 
 chosen option.  I then have to swipe left, and try the double tap again.  
 Otherwise, things work fairly well for me, so interpret as desired.

 ios version 8, but I've not confirmed this yet, so take with a grain of

 I have the 16GB version, and I've had very little trouble with it.  The 
 biggest issue I have at the moment, is that sometimes (happens more when 
 the battery is low) when I double tap on something to activate it, the 
 phone will instead move to the next item on the screen, instead of 
 activating my chosen option.  I then have to swipe left, and try the 
 double tap again.  Otherwise, things work fairly well for me, so interpret 
 as desired.

 Does backup and restore of an iPhone to iTunes just backup my Apps and their

 If I backup an iPhone 3GS running IOS 6 and later restore that to an iPhone

Re: Using the Apple store app on my iPhone to make a genius barappointment

2014-09-06 Thread Andy Collins
Well I guess I now know that the onscreen keyboard should be visible to VO, so 
when it isn’t [if it happens again] I will just keep trying, or maybe reboot.

Going back to creating a Braille note for the password, and then doing a cut 
and paste for the onscreen text field; I still think there will be the issue of 
the capitalisation of letters, that in Braille require the dot 6 in front of 
them, and as I have said before, the password field on the phone will see that 
dot 6 as a character thus invalidating the password itself. I’m not sure 
therefore if there is a Braille way to enter passwords if for whatever reason, 
there is no visible onscreen keyboard.

All this said, I don’t know anything about 8 dot braille, but as it offers 2 
extra dots [usually used for the cursor] maybe dot 8 could somehow replicate 
dot 6 as an indication of a capitol. Maybe somebody can say more… -

Making a Genius bar appointment problem

2014-09-03 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

I qualify for a replacement battery for my iPhone5, even though the current one 
is working ok, so thought I might as well go for it as I will be selling this 
Iphone 5 when the 6 gets released.

I rang my local Apple store to make an appointment for a new battery, but they 
said it had to be done online as my Apple ID would be required.

I attempted to do this online, via the Genius bar, I was able to choose my 
local store, and could see a list of days in which appointment slots were 
available, but couldn’t choose any. It would say something like Tuesday 
September 9 clickable, and say morning clickable, afternoon clickable, but I 
couldn’t get VO to click these options either by using VO space with both 
quicknav on and off, or by doing a command VO with f5 to bring the mouse cursor 
to the VO cursor, and doing a mouse click via VO shift space.

Anybody been able to make a Genius appointment this way, or got any ideas how I 
can proceed?

Thanks -

Andy

Re: Making a Genius bar appointment problem

2014-09-03 Thread Andy Collins
I just tried it from Safari on my iPhone, and got just the same. I can get to 
where there are days with available am or pm slots, but don’t seem to be able 
to select a day or time slot. I double tap on the day, and the afternoon I 
want, but the screen doesn’t update. There is a back and next button, and when 
I click next, again the screen doesn’t change -

 I'd not worry about it.
 Some devices do this.
 They reconnect after being disconnected.  If it's a storage device of some 
 sort, this sometimes can cause errors on the file system, but usually 
 doesn't.  In the case of devices that are not storage related such as 
 displays, keyboards, and mice, it won't hurt the computer or the device in 
 the least to simply unplug it after ejecting it, whether it comes back or 
 not.  There may be some sort of configuration setting you can change to 
 prevent the display from reconnecting, but not having a usb braille display, 
 I couldn't even guess what it might be called, but in any case, it isn't 
 likely to hurt anything by just unplugging it when necessary.

Braille display not disconnecting propperly from my Mac

2014-08-25 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

When I highlight my Braille display volume on my desktop, and hit command e to 
eject it, followed by vo space to confirm, it disappears, only to come bakc 
again. When I just pull out the USB lead from the display, I get a notification 
telling me that the display did not disconnect properly. The other way I tried 
to disconnect the display was by going in to the context menus with vo shift m, 
and choosing eject, but again, this didn’t remove the display from the desktop. 
I don’t have any problems when I hook up other external drives, so what is 
going on with this Alva? -

How to simulate the Command key from a Braille display

2014-08-20 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

I am getting to grips with my first Braille display [an Alva 640 Comfort.]

The getting started guide for the display keeps referring me to my screen 
reader manual for specific key strokes, and I can’t find what I think I need on 
this Mac.

I don’t know how to execute keystrokes that use the Command key, as in Command 
W to close a window. I don’t know how to simulate the alt tab key to move 
between open apps or windows.

The Alva does have an alt key, and a control key and an enter key, but like I 
say, the getting started guide is a general guide for the display, referring me 
back to my own screen reader guide for VO specific navigation.

Anybody help please? -

How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?

2014-08-16 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

When I open a spreadsheet in Numbers, I want ti to open at the last row of 
cells, but it always opens at the top [a1], this is after I’ve interacted to 
get rid of the template screen, which I always get when Numbers opens. I’ve 
looked in the preferences for Numbers, but couldn’t see anything that would let 
me change where the cursor is when opening a spreadsheet -

Hi Anne -

When I do CMD down arrow, I just get that ding sound that indicates the key 
stroke doesn’t exist, same for VO shift down arrow, that’s why I asked on list. 
Maybe I’am not using Numbers correctly. Each time I open a spreadsheet, I land 
in the layout area. I have to hit VO shift down arrow twice to actually get in 
to the body of the spreadsheet. Once there, I can’t do CMD down arrow to get to 
the end of the spreadsheet  as mentioned above -

 Hello Andy,
 
 As far as I know, you can’t change this behaviour. But what’s so difficult 
 about doing Cmd-down Arrow to get to the last row? Alternatively, you can do 
 VO-Shift-End to get to the last cell.
 
 Cheers,

Hi Anne -

When I first interact after opening Numbers, VO says:
Table 1 table.

I had to interact again, and then VO announces:
Table 1 table has been removed from selection.

At this point, I was able to access my spreadsheet, but CMD down arrow, which 
hasn’t been reassigned to do something different, just gave me the ding sound -

 Hello Andy,
 
 I interact once with the table then I can press Cmd-Down Arrow and I’m at the

 my mouse set to ignore the other cursors but I don’t know whether that makes 
 a difference.
 
 Another thought, have you set Cmd-Down Arrow to do something else in Numbers? 
 Someone I know set Cmd-c as a short cut for something other than Copy and 
 wondered why it wasn’t working to copy things.
 
 However, I do find that Numbers easily gets temperamental and I have to 
 repair permissions to get it to behave itself again.

2014-08-16 Thread Andy Collins
Hi Anne -

I’ve always respected your knowledge and experience, right from first coming to 
the mac and this list just over 12 months ago. Like I said, the only reason I 
haven’t done repairs etc was from fear of messing something up. Now a feel more 
confident with my mac, I am more brave about doing things.

I am as you commented, a lite user of the Mac, in so much as what I do is 
pretty basic and strait forward, even my spreadsheets are just basic house 
keeping these days.

However, I did upgrade to Mavericks a couple of weeks ago, so maybe now is a 
good time to look at repairing permissions -

Andy

 Hello Andy,
 
 You should repair permissions after installing new software and after updates.
 
 People who only use their Macs for simple tasks can get away with not 
 repairing permissions, but as soon as you start using more complex programs 
 such as Numbers, you’re going to encounter anomalous behaviour just as you 
 have already done.
 
 I’ve been a Mac user now for 18 years so I do have some idea what I’m talking 
 about.

Key sensativity on the MacBook Air

2014-08-15 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

Is it possible to make an adjustment to the sensitivity of the qwerty on the 
MacBook Air?

I am finding the keys a little to stiff, and would like them to be a bit more 
responsive, that is with less resistance when pressed. I have looked under the 
keyboard settings in system, and there is something there about key repeat, but 
I can’t make much sense of the  slider, and don’t really know if that deals 
with what I am talking about -

Attachment in Mavericks mail

Hi all -

I only upgraded to mavericks last week, so appologies if this is old territory 
for some, but now, when an email comes in with an attachment, instead of VO 
saying embedded, and reading the name of the attached file, it says image, and 
I am not able to do a preview of the attachment using CMD y.

Is this a Mavericks thing? Anybody tell me how to fix it? -

Deleting the app store and iTunes icons from the iPhone home screen

2014-08-08 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

Is it possible to do this? Somebody not on this list, says they have somehow by 
mistake, deleted their app store and iTuens icons from their iPhone. I was a 
bit surprised by this, as I kind of thought Apple wouldn’t allow for this to 
happen. Anyway, if it is correct, is there a way to get them back on the home 
screen? -

How do I re-download an app I accidentally deleted on my MBA?

2014-08-01 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

I bought Amadeus lite through the App store a couple of months ago, and have 
accidentally deleted it. I can find it in the iTunes store under my purchase 
history, but there isn't a link to redownload it. I'm not sure why it shows up 
in the iTuens purchase history, as it is an app that I bought from the Mac app 
store, but I can see anything on the mac app store website that lets me view my 
details. Help needed and appreciated -

Re: How do I type letters with accents over them?

2014-07-23 Thread Andy Collins
Thanks Bryan - that's working for me now, I didn't know about holding down the 
letter key -

Andy
On 23 Jul 2014, at 03:05, Bryan Jones openses...@me.com wrote:

 Hello Andy,
 
 Here’s the method I usually use to enter variants of a character in Mac. I 
 select from the list of alternative characters that pops up automatically 
 when I press and hold a letter key for a few seconds. For example, On my 
 Macbook Air running OS 10.9.4, if I am composing an email and my cursor is in 
 the body of the email and I want to type the letter you mentioned, the “n” 
 with a tilde over it, I can press and hold the “n” key for a couple of 
 seconds, release the key, then press the right arrow key to hear alternative 
 character choices, then press the Return key to select and insert the desired 
 character. Note that this feature is not implemented perfectly across all 
 applications running under Mac OS. For example, in Textedit I can use the 
 left or right arrow keys by themselves to navigate through all alternative 
 characters that pop up, but in Mail  Pages I need to use a combination of 
 the arrow keys and VO+arrow keys in order to fully navigate these popups. I 
 suggest spending a few minutes testing this out with letters that offer big 
 lists of alternate characters, such as “a” and “e” and you’ll quickly get a 
 feel for how it works.
 
 Regarding your keyboard layout, you can check your keyboards in System 
 Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources. While you’re at it, you might want to 
 also verify your language  Region settings in System Preferences / Language 
 and Region.
 
 HTH,
 Bryan

 Hello Andy,
 
 Your keyboard is already British English. The Mac keyboard is different from 
 a PC keyboard so the @ sign is where it should be, over the 2. Just use VO-k 
 to find where all the keys are.
 
 If you’re typing in another language, you can add the keyboard layout for 
 that language in System preferences and switch to it when you need it.
 
 I have both British English and French configured on my MacBook Air and use 
 Cmd-Space to toggle between the two.
 
 However, if you’re typing Spanish, the tilde dead key is Option-n so for ñ 
 you do Option-n followed by n. The acute dead key is Option-e. ¡ is Option-1. 
 ¿ is Option-Shift-Slash.
 
 Cheers,

Re: Should I move to Mavericks?

2014-07-19 Thread Andy Collins
Hi Ian -

I haven't upgraded yet, I only got this Macbook Air a year ago, running 
Mountain Lion, and wanted to get familiar with it before having to start to 
learn more new stuff under Mavaricks. One thing I'm not sure of if I upgrade, 
is if I don't back up my data, will I automatically lose it during the upgrade -

 I have a 2010 mac mini, running mountain lion. It is a little slow opening

 I am looking for opinions as to the pros and cons of upgrading to Mavericks

 Not urgent, but thought others may be having the same thoughts.

 No, but you should have a backup anyway before upgrading the system, and
 indeed you should make backups regularly in case of hardware or software
 issues that can cause data loss.

 I think it is difficult to be definitive. I have heard people who have
 upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, Mountain Lion, and finally Mavericks and
 report no need for a clean install and no issues. I have also equally heard
 of people slowing up just after a single upgrade to Mavericks to Mountain
 Lion.
 What I did in the end was upgrade first, and then when I was unhappy with
 this did a clean install. You could similarly try an upgrade first as you
 could always do a clean install afterwards if you are affected by
 performance issues.

Re: General Mac Query - A Clarification

2014-07-05 Thread Andy Collins
The way in which some of these things work can be determined by the app you are 
using, and how you have things set up.

Interacting:

 For example, in the mail app, I need to  interact with the messages table to 
read my mail.

When going to an address in Safari, sometimes the page doesn't open, and I have 
to interact with the HTML, to open it, so that I can interact with it. I also 
have to interact with phrames on websites.

Locally, I need to interact with the sidebar, and/or my home folder when saving 
files etc.

It actually is quite intuitive once you get use to thinking about the phrase 
'interact.' If you just want to read something, then that is what you do, but 
if you want to open something, select something or edit something, you may well 
have to 'interact.' -

 Hi All, I have been coming to terms with a Mac for over 6 weeks now on a 
 daily basis and a little before that from time to time.  However there are 
 some concepts I really cannot come to work out which by now should be fairly 
 obvious to me.  Hope someone can clarify these for me.
 
 At this point I would like to say I have good experience of Windows and it is 
 because of this I am finding some of these Mac concepts difficult rather than 
 them being intuitive.
 
 Here goes then,
 
 1. I think as a rule of thumb quic nav is mainly used for navagating the web 
 but not otherwise.  Is this correct?
 2. While I know that single key navagation can be used with the tab key, I 
 cannot work out when I need to tab and when I need to vo right arrow.
 3. Interacting and uninteracting, I just don't know when and when not to do 
 this.  When someone has guided me they have said to interact and now 
 uninteract, left to my own devices I cannot make a decision as to when to 
 interact and when not to.
 
 Sorry if these are silly questions but I think once I have clarification on 
 these I will have moved forward quite a pace with my Mac.

 Then physically click the  Trackpad which should logically start the Video

 Once the Video is finished you can press command W to close the Window and

 Hi Eleanor,
 
 As a modification of Sarah's suggestion, can you use Mouse Keys to click the 
 buttons for accept and play, with VoiceOver turned off if necessary, in 
 order to use the web site without crashing?  If the crash is caused by 
 VoiceOver's software simulation of key clicks with VO-Space or 
 VO-Shift-Space, using Mouse Keys to click for you (by pressing the i key on 
 a laptop keyboard, or Control+the 5 key on the numeric keypad of a 
 full-sized keyboard after Mouse Keys are turned on) might work without your 
 even having to toggle VoiceOver off  before you click. 
 
 Are both buttons for accept and play displayed on the same web page?  If so, 
 you can move to these controls without actually clicking the buttons first 
 with VoiceOver, check their screen locations with VO-F5-F5, then figure out 
 how many Mouse Key key presses are needed to move from one control to the 
 other (without VoiceOver), turn VoiceOver off, and perform these actions with 
 Mouse Keys on (but VoiceOver off).  Perhaps once play has started you can 
 turn VoiceOver back on again.
 
 You will need to go to System Preferences  Accessibility and select Mouse  
 Trackpad in the accessibility features table, then instead of simply 
 checking the Enable Mouse Keys check box, navigate to the Options button 
 and press it, then check the box for Press the Option key five times to 
 toggle Mouse Keys and press return (or navigate to the Done button).  This 
 will let you toggle mouse keys on or off by pressing the Option key 5 times.
 
 Mouse Keys are designed to allow people with motor disabilities to perform 
 precise actions requiring fine control, such as moving  mouse cursors or 
 clicking their mouse or trackpad, with keyboard controls.  I've only used it 
 with VoiceOver in a few situations.  The first is when a physical mouse click 
 with trackpad or cursor is required.  The VO-Shift-Space shortcut is a 
 simulated mouse click implemented by software.  The VO-Space shortcut is 
 another software defined shortcut that performs the default action -- which 
 could be pressing a button, clicking on link, selecting a menu option, etc. 
 depending on context.  There are some instances, especially in situations 
 where applications are not fully accessible or are transitioning in 
 accessibility with VoiceOver, where these kinds of software clicks do not 
 work, and you have to physically click your trackpad or mouse for your click 
 to take effect.  In these instances, performing a click with Mouse Keys 
 mode turned on is eq
 ui
 valent to physically clicking with mouse or trackpad.  The NumPad Commander 
 keyboard shortcut for a key click, of Control + 5 on the numeric keypad 
 will also work. It's possible the software emulation of your keyclicks is 
 causing your crashes, so either performing a click with Mouse Keys, even with 
 VoiceOver turned on, might solve your problem.  And if having VoiceOver after 
 the key is pressed causes your crash, you might be able to move to each 
 control and press it entirely using Mouse Keys but keeping VoiceOver turned 
 off.
 
 In addition to allowing users to click a mouse or trackpad without moving the 
 position of the mouse pointer, Mouse Keys mode lets you move the mouse 
 pointer position on the screen in pixel increments by using key strokes.  So 
 the second 
 circumstance in which I've used Mouse Keys is for instances when I need to 
 move the mouse pointer to locations that VoiceOver doesn't navigate to, in 
 order to click on controls.  The most common example of this usage is when 
 trying to 
 deal with flash controls on a web page.  VoiceOver can't see these 
 controls, in the sense that you can't use VoiceOver commands to navigate to 
 them, since Adobe's Flash does not comply with Apple's accessibility API.  
 However, if you 
 manage to move your mouse pointer over a flash control independently of using 
 VoiceOver's cursor, because you've turned cursor tracking off (with 
 VO-Shift-F3), VoiceOver can tell you what is under your mouse pointer (with 
 VO-F5, or by checking the box for Speak text under mouse after delay in the 
 Announcements tab of Verbosity in VoiceOver Utility) and will even 
 describe the screen coordinate location of your mouse pointer (VO-F5-F5 or 
 VO-F5-F5-F5).
 
 So the way I used to play the Audible audio book sound samples before they 
 changed their web pages from Flash only to HTML 5 versions was by navigating 
 to Sample with VoiceOver, then turning keyboard tracking off, and Mouse 
 Keys on, and moving the mouse pointer 50 pixels to the

I experience something similar with a sports commentary I listen to. The play 
link is inbeded in a graphic, and VO can't see it, it needs a sighted person to 
use the track pad to drag the cursor to the play button, and then click it. 
Once this has been done for me, if the broadcast drops out, I can get it back 
by pressing the bottom left corner of the track pad, but I haven't found any 
way of clicking the play button in the first place. I think this is one area 
where VO is still behind JAWS -

 Hi All, I have encountered a problem with my Mac and Voice Over.  My Open

I'm sure many of us would be interested to hear how, if you do, you manage to 
resolve this; like I said, there are some situations where VO just doesn't see 
the button, and so far, as far as I know, there isn't a work around. Hope yo 
have success with it -
