Re: Manually putting music on IPhone using Windows
Hi Kim, Here's how to put music on an iPod manually. I assume the same steps would work in Windows, though I don't know for certain because I don't have an iPhone. 1. Select the tracks you want to copy. 2. Type control-C to copy them to the clipboard. 3. Focus on the iPod's name in the Source list, where Music, Podcasts, etc. are listed. 4. Type Control-V to paste. If that doesn't work, choose Paste from the Edit menu.

Re: Macports GUI questions
I just downloaded it out of curiosity. I'm able to hear things spoken in the name table, but it sounds like gibberish. However, when I select something I can hear names of packages in the other table. Which update are you running? update selected, or update all? I would like to say that this is what I don't like about guis. It seems to me that update is running the upgrade command which can be a little dangerous of it isn't run right. I don't know exactly what it is doing. On Aug 5, 2009, at 8:56 PM, John J Herzog wrote: > > Hi > Porticus is not running that command at startup.

RE: Manually putting music on IPhone using Windows
Hi Kim, I don't think you can. Or at least I wasn't able to do it, and I have heard the same from others. Are you using JAWS as your screen-reader? If yes, one suggestion I can make is that you give it a go with Window-Eyes or System Access. I heard from someone at apple that there are known problems with JAWS and ITunes. They say that FS is working on them, but who knows. Sorry I don't have better news.

Re: Macports GUI questions
Hi Porticus is not running that command at startup. I am going into the ports menu, and clicking update. I did this, because I cannot see anything in the tables or list views when I do not run this command. In other words, when I start the program, it does not list any ports/ software available to me. Furthermore, I don't see any other option for enabling such a list. Any other ideas, since hitting update is incorect?

Re: Macports GUI questions
Hi, It sounds like Porticus is running the command "port upgrade outdated" when it is started. There used to be a bug in Macports where if you ran that command and nothing was out of date, it would give that message. I thought that it had been fixed though. I've never used Porticus. Does it close down after that message? Sounds to me like you just need to get it to stop running that command at start-up. You might also check your version of Macports by running "sudo port -d selfupdate". I'm assuming that Porticus is just a graphical front for Macports.

Manually putting music on IPhone using Windows
Hi everybody I am using the Windows version of ITunes, and can't seem to figure out how to manually add music to my phone. I don't want all the music I have on my phone, so have told ITunes that I want to manually add songs myself. The only problem is, I can't figure out how to do that.

Sounds like you have mouse keys turned on. Try hitting the option five times. You can also turn them off in universal access/mouse and trackpad.

Re: Keyboard Peoblem
Try renameing your Library folder to Library.save and see if that solves the issue. Library has your preference settings, your Mail items and lots of other sutff. Depending on your patience and how much your system goes nuts, you could either duplicate the Library and then start taking out folders or you could work the other way around. I would suggest logging in / out after any changes to the folder though.

Keyboard Peoblem
All, I posted this to another list and must have stumped the geniuses. First let me explain my setup. I have one of the new MacBook Pro 15-inch models. I generally use an external keyboard since I don't always need my machine for portable purposes. The other day I tried using the MBP's keyboard and and realized that all of the letters, numbers, spacebar, and caps lock keys do not work. Now before you say hardware, it is not hardware related. I have a test account and 9 out of 10 times I can log into this account and everything works as expected. If I log into my own account first, then I can't use the MBP's keyboard to log into any other account. Now the weird part is the external keyboard works perfectly and is not affected by whatever the hell is going on. I tried an archive and install with no success, I have booted from another Leopard disk and it works fine, I even just did the upgrade to 10.5.8, and this had no affect on my issue. I believe there is some software that is causing the problem, but I have not located anything that has not already been there and this is a new issue. If anyone has any thoughts, it would be appreciated. I only installed an upgrade to Dragon Burn and a trial of Cocktail, which I removed, but do not believe this is the issue. I also did install a copy of ABBYY FineReader and I could certainly remove from my system, but again, I don't think this is the problem.

10.5.8 fixes my #1 annoyance with Safari.
OK, I have finished the upgrade. I did just one check and that was worth it for me. The bug where if you are in the toolbar of a Safari 4.02 page, and bring up the item chooser to select a web element. Then when chosen the web element is not in the Voice Over cursor is fixed. I haven't broght up my list of complaints to test against, but this alone is worth the upgrade for me.

Re: new 10.5.8
Not everyone will necessarily upgrade, upgrade immediately, or has an Intel machine. Leopard will continue to be the OS for everyone running a Power PC Mac. There are lots of reasons to continue to support Leopard, especially when it comes to these sorts of stability, security, and compatibility releases like 10.5.8.

Re: Book Resource
Hi Les, You're welcome. My mother-in-law switched to a Mac a couple of weeks after I did, and she recommended the book. I'm so glad she did. There's supposed to be a Snow Leopard edition out in October; since it's an O'Reilly book and O'Reilly lets Bookshare publish all their stuff, I think there's a good chance that version will be available soon after it comes out in print.

Re: Another question about iphone
I would add some caveats and some good things. The map itself is not accessible but the list of directions and other UI items is. The only weirdness is that the buttons to switch between driving, walking and public transportation routing is only presented above the map. Once you switch to List view you're stuck with whatever was selected on maps. So even though the map has 'pins' for start and end and pointers for the parts you walk vs get on the bus or transfer buses, none of these icons speak on the map. Not a big deal but it would be nice to have it read roads and icons as you touch them. Another bit in the map not on the list is with public transportation you can get transit times, schedules and costs. So if it's 12:00 AM it will list my bus departing at 12:35AM and that it costs $.50 and the next available time is 1:35PM. The button for this info is only available in the map view. It is nice being able to route from "here" with the GPS. CB Christian wrote: > Hi, > OK, that's great.

YOu can bet there is always something being worked on or being taken from an idea to a concept.

Re: gesturebased navigation on safari for themac?
I wonder if this will work with external track pads. My test machine is a Mac tower with no trackpad and that's where I'd want to give SnowLeopard a whirl before making it primary OS on my MacBook.

Re: the advent of audio/tactile games for the VIPs
Terrific Post. I'm going to need to reread it before I comment much as you present a whole lot of information in a small space. I would think, though, that instead of a flat map, maybe we mape the positions onto a curved space as the slice of an elipse? This would provide some spatial information, would work well with the current location at the center of the slice and would represent a better simulation of how humans hear in the forward direction. Also, some 3D plotting will be necessary so as to "project" the map image some bit of distance in front of the userso it floats in space like a heads up display on a airplane or some automobiles. We're in house guest mode so my response further may take some time but I think you are onto something really cool.

Re: the advent of audio/tactile games for the VIPs
Hi everyone, Just as an addendum to this conversation, i was "meditating" of sorts about some game theory and the controls of a game app which could be ported to a gprs/navigation application. Here goes: 1 The 3d positional audio used on two vectors of sound propagation. I will give an example of an RTS game for this concept. Since i think relating the true distance of a sound from the back or the front could be quite daunting, to the least having a high learning curve, i was thinking that spatial references can be laid out on a bird's eye view perspective. IE: front and back= top and bottom while left and right stay the same. If i imagined this as a physical boundary, the x and y axises would be quote flattened unquote to y and z axises. So an object at one's back at the limit of the set boundary of spatial dimension, the sound would be heard at the bottom, or the chin area of the wearer. whilst the opposite would be heard at the top of the forehead. left and right would retain their relative positions, but the difference would be felt when an object is ahead on a diagonal position. That would translate to a top/left audio cue and so forth. I think of this application or flattening of sound as most of the time when we are walking around, we take much less notice of height factors as unless we are as taller than basket ball players, we don't often have to crouch to walk somewhere. So going back to the RTS game, if we have this flat two axis representation of space over a map, the one channel whoch would be back can be used for, well...background or ambient sounds. Cues would be relevant to such things as the type of terrain one is in, etc. And the front audio within a central boundary would represent unit responses and general game command voice responses. 2 controls and gestures. Taking the rts element to the table, the main advantage paused for controls which can be easily accessed without cluttering the actual space of the screen would be using the rotor for various menus and functions. For instance, one finger drag=feel around the game space with audio cues on hitting an object or contextual item 2 finger dragaround screen to displace the map to the opposite direction of the fingers being dragged to explore more of the map 3 finger drag for faster scroll of the map area 2 finger rotor once tapped on an object for actions choice: patrol, attack/ build, etc...Each instance of a double-tap would go one level deeper into the contextual menu for choosing for example which building to build and the sorts. 3 finger rotor for other behavioral actions or quote special unquote abilities. 1 finger flick once double tapped on an object slash soldier= selecting the next or previous unit 2 finger flick= selection of next building and the list goes on. I will continue to add to this as i think through the possibilities, sort of a diary to myself as well so i can gather all the notes for eventually starting the programming part once i get my hands on that SDK :) Hope i'm not a total bore... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

To control VoiceOver and Safari with gestures, you will have to wait for Snow Leopard.
