Re: copy and paste IPhone
Anybody know if the accessibility of copy and paste functions will be addressed in the next firmware update? I heard from a friend who owns the iPhone a few days ago that apparently Apple have incorporated a tripple hit of the home button to launch VO from anywhere, so thought that perhaps it might not be the only access enhancement, although that in itself is a really good one. Not even sure when 3.1 is out, very speculative post I know, but maybe someone knows more than I.

Re: Undownloaded podcasts in i-tunes.

Is this possible on a Mac Mini, and if so, what software would be best? Eventually I also want recording software that can remove pops and clicks and tape hiss and split long recordings into tracks for turning tapes and CDs into audio files. What would be good for doing that? Finally, I'd like to be able to record and then add sound effects or music tracks. Is Garage Band the best bet for tthat? Is there one recording program that can do all the things I'm thinking about doing, or will I need several? Thanks very much.

Re: recording software suggestions
Hi Anna, Are you looking for free recording software? Because if you are, you can use something like Audacity, or use the software that's installed on your mac by Apple. If you want something besides that, you may want to look at Audio Hijack Pro. Audio Hijack Pro is $32. The site for Audio Hijack Pro is: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro Rogue Amoeba does have a page for their standard version of Audio Hijack, but it's not available for purchase. If you want to go the Audio Hijack page, and get the link to Rogue Amoeba's legacy page where you can download the standard version, the link is: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack For editing, there is Sound Studio, which is $79. However, they do sometimes have sales. The site is: www.freeverse.com/soundstudio/ There are other sites that have software for what you want, but I hope I've helped some.

Re: running leopard on a pc?
Well, legally you can run OSX Server in an emulator on Apple hardware. Why you would want to do this is another question. It gets a little fuzzy as to whether there would be an issue running this virtualized OSX on a non-Apple box and it's a pretty sure thing you're not legal running OSX on non-Apple hardware directly. None of these are technical problems, just license issues. So if you're good with Google there are lots of tutorials and patches to be found out on the wild wild web. Apparently hacking netbooks to run OSX is a popular pastime. CB Portia wrote: You could run Windows on your mac, but it is definitely much harder to run Mac Os X Leopard on a windows machine.

Re: Book Resource
Hello thanks for this verry informative info one thing I am wondering if I purchase a iphone application and it isn't vo friendly am I out 4.95? how does something like that work with software apps? Hank On Aug 7, 2009, at 2:55 PM, Esther wrote: Hi Hank, There's a version of Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard edition from O'Reilly Media, Inc. that's available as an iPhone app for $4.99: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=325837189mt=8 I don't know whether this is accessible through VO on the iPhone. From Josh's comments, the ebook versions that are offered through the Stanza app interface aren't quite accessible to VO. (I'm not quite sure what he meant by his impression that they were almost accessible.) However, many ebooks offered as stand-alone apps for the iPhone do seem to be accessible. That said, someone who has an iPhone and is proficient with VO navigation would have to check out how easy it is to navigate to the various chapters, search for text, etc. There's also a version of Pogue's iPhone: The Missing Manual, Third Edition that cover the iPhone 3GS available as an iPhone app for $4.99: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=324601015mt=8 When the last version was released, it was the top selling ebook over the of a few weeks after it was released. I assume this book may be of less use to VO users since it won't cover special tips for using the VO gestures, but it will give general informtion. Again, no information about VO accessibility here. The reason I would love to know whether Stanza is or can be made accessible to VoiceOver on the iPhone is that this is the major competitor for ebook usage to the Kindle, and that there are tons of both free and paid ebooks, all free of DRM, that can use this interface. I've read that some low vision users are using this app on the iPhone. If you look in the list archives, you'll see recommendations to both the O'Reilly books that are availble from Bookshare (including Pogue's Missing Manual series -- not just the volume for switching from Windows) and to the Take Control downloadable ebooks. For example, this November 2008 post even mentions Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard edition as being of possible interest to list members even though it was answering a point of someone who was coming into the Mac from a linux background with a suggestion of another O'Reilly book from Bookshare: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg44372.html (Mac OS X for Linux and Unix users) That post details the best way I've found to search for O'Reilly books at Bookshare and also notes that all O'Reilly books are available to international Bookshare users. Since the material is supplied directly from the publisher, who also maintains commercial on-line versions of the book and sells these in (non-DRM) PDF and other ebook formats, the content quality is high, and the available work is up to date. For Les, it's sometimes difficult to check the latest version of a book on Bookshare; you should always click on the title link and check the publish date. I usually also go directly to the O'Reilly pages: http://www.oreilly.com where you can also check whether a new edition may be coming out. Then I look for it in Bookshare. Another really excellent series are the Take Control books. You can try looking at their Take Control of Switching to the Mac: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/switching These are highly accessible guides in downloadable PDF format that typically list for $10. This format allows the authors to quickly issue updates, and when you purchase a guide you can check for the latest update and download it for free from the Web site until the next major revision (a couple of years later). Chances are, if you're on the mailing list, they'll tell you when the next major release comes out, and offer you a discount. Their web site allows you to download free samples of all their books, so you can see whether the content and style is likely to match your needs. Navigation supports links to relevant sections in Preview. HTH Cheers, Esther P.S. I don't have any of the Windows related Take Control books, but if I decided to install Fusion on my Mac, I would personally get their Take Control of VMWare Fusion. hank smith wrote: any other way to get it besides book share?

Re: logic studio 9 accsessablity?
Hi, From what I can tell, there's been no noticeable improvements in accessibility in version 9. You may be able to scrape by with it depending on the type of stuff you're trying to do. Some kind of hardware control surface would go a long ways toward efficiency as it'd allow you to overlook such things as the transport controls not being labeled, but even so, version 9 is far from what most people would call accessible. There have been some QuicKeys shortcuts written to assist VO users, which have proved pretty effective on some systems, but they're still very much a work in progress and troubleshooting without usable vision on systems that don't play ball is practically imposible. They were written using Logic studio 8, but from my very breif testing they seemed to work as well in 8.0.2 and 9. In short, access is coming hopefully, but if you're looking for an easy to use finished product, Logic isn't your golden ticket yet imho. hth Scott On 8/8/09, trahern culver tecks-...@hotmail.co.uk wrote: hey does any one in this group know how accsessable logic studio 9 is? and please can i have some tips on how to use it? help on this would be most welcome!! kind regards trahern. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: running leopard on a pc?
Actually running any Mac os on a non APple machine is in violation of the ULA. On Aug 8, 2009, at 2:55 PM, Chris Blouch wrote: Well, legally you can run OSX Server in an emulator on Apple hardware. Why you would want to do this is another question. It gets a little fuzzy as to whether there would be an issue running this virtualized OSX on a non-Apple box and it's a pretty sure thing you're not legal running OSX on non-Apple hardware directly. None of these are technical problems, just license issues. So if you're good with Google there are lots of tutorials and patches to be found out on the wild wild web. Apparently hacking netbooks to run OSX is a popular pastime. CB Portia wrote: You could run Windows on your mac, but it is definitely much harder to run Mac Os X Leopard on a windows machine.

VMWare supports running OSX Server in a VM but last time I tired to move one of these VMs to my Windows box it failed to launch so they must be tying it to running in Fusion on Mac hardware somehow. I'm sure there's hackery somewhere that would lift this restriction but that restriction is in place but I'm sure that restriction is in place to keep things legal.

addressbook plug ins
Hi guys, I just came across this folder that says addressbook plug ins in my library. So if there are plug ins for address book, which would be nice, where do you search for them, and does any one know if there is a lable printing one for different envelope templates? That'd be too handy for words. I looked for something like that for eudora and thunderbird for windows for years with no luck.

Re: Book Resource
Hi Hank, I don't think that if you buy an app that turns out not to be VO friendly that the developer would necessarily refund the amount of purchase from the iTunes Store. But you might contact the developer, O'Reilly Media in this case, and ask whether these book apps are accessible with VO on the iPhone. Incidentally, if you're just looking for information on migrating from Windows, I'd guess that the Take Control book would work fine for you. Reading is very easy under Preview, and you can go directly to the parts you're interested in. I wouldn't know how VO treats ebooks in an app, or how you would navigate through links, and search or jump to selected text on the iPhone. The thing about the Take Control guides is that it's very easy to go in with a specific question and find an answer. For that reason, even some people who don't like reading manuals like these guides. HTH Cheers, Esther On Aug 7, 2009, hank smith wrote: Hello thanks for this verry informative info one thing I am wondering if I purchase a iphone application and it isn't vo friendly am I out 4.95? how does something like that work with software apps? Hank On Aug 7, 2009, Esther wrote: Hi Hank, There's a version of Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard edition from O'Reilly Media, Inc. that's available as an iPhone app for $4.99: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=325837189mt=8 I don't know whether this is accessible through VO on the iPhone. From Josh's comments, the ebook versions that are offered through the Stanza app interface aren't quite accessible to VO. (I'm not quite sure what he meant by his impression that they were almost accessible.) However, many ebooks offered as stand-alone apps for the iPhone do seem to be accessible. That said, someone who has an iPhone and is proficient with VO navigation would have to check out how easy it is to navigate to the various chapters, search for text, etc. There's also a version of Pogue's iPhone: The Missing Manual, Third Edition that cover the iPhone 3GS available as an iPhone app for $4.99: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=324601015mt=8 When the last version was released, it was the top selling ebook over the of a few weeks after it was released. I assume this book may be of less use to VO users since it won't cover special tips for using the VO gestures, but it will give general informtion. Again, no information about VO accessibility here. The reason I would love to know whether Stanza is or can be made accessible to VoiceOver on the iPhone is that this is the major competitor for ebook usage to the Kindle, and that there are tons of both free and paid ebooks, all free of DRM, that can use this interface. I've read that some low vision users are using this app on the iPhone. If you look in the list archives, you'll see recommendations to both the O'Reilly books that are availble from Bookshare (including Pogue's Missing Manual series -- not just the volume for switching from Windows) and to the Take Control downloadable ebooks. For example, this November 2008 post even mentions Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard edition as being of possible interest to list members even though it was answering a point of someone who was coming into the Mac from a linux background with a suggestion of another O'Reilly book from Bookshare: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/ msg44372.html (Mac OS X for Linux and Unix users) That post details the best way I've found to search for O'Reilly books at Bookshare and also notes that all O'Reilly books are available to international Bookshare users. Since the material is supplied directly from the publisher, who also maintains commercial on-line versions of the book and sells these in (non-DRM) PDF and other ebook formats, the content quality is high, and the available work is up to date. For Les, it's sometimes difficult to check the latest version of a book on Bookshare; you should always click on the title link and check the publish date. I usually also go directly to the O'Reilly pages: http://www.oreilly.com where you can also check whether a new edition may be coming out. Then I look for it in Bookshare. Another really excellent series are the Take Control books. You can try looking at their Take Control of Switching to the Mac: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/switching These are highly accessible guides in downloadable PDF format that typically list for $10. This format allows the authors to quickly issue updates, and when you purchase a guide you can check for the latest update and download it for free from the Web site until the next major revision (a couple of years later). Chances are, if you're on the mailing list, they'll tell you when the next major release comes out, and offer
full format?
I think i may have damaged one of the heads on my drive on the mini, but want to do a full format to make sure it goes alright, or not... so, is there any way I can do that with the leopard install disc with voiceover? thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: addressbook plug ins
Hi Erik, In the old list archives, you can find Anne Robertson's detailed instructions on how to use the address book to print envelopes: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg45300.html (Re: Addressing envelopes with VoiceOver) If you read down that thread using the Safari access key shortcut for next post in thread, Control-N, you'll find my post on how to amend this to print out mailing labels instead of envelopes; it's basically done by changing your selection on the pop up button for Style on the print menu to Mailing Labels instead of Envelopes. http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg45386.html Then, you VO-Right to the layout tab to set the size of envelope or labels. This can be done (in the case of labels) either by choosing a standard Avery Label product code from a pop up button, or by reading/ setting the corresponding size information. There's a custom option that allows you to input any size you like. You can also choose Lists for an option to print out selected address book fields (that you check) and customize personal lists. You don't need to use address book plug ins to print envelope templates, since that's already built into your Mac via the Address Book and Print commands. If you want to look over some address book plug ins you can try one of the sites (Hawk Wings) listed in the appendix of the Take Control of AppleMail in Leopard guide: http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/10/20/address-book-plugins/ Check the two linked pages. There are plug ins such as the one from Google that links to the Google maps site for directions. (I haven't tried these).
