Re: creating Iphone ringtones with amadeus
Hi Sarah, You can export the selection without saving it to a new file. Once the selection is exported, Itunes will open. WHen you hit command W in Amadeus it will ask if you want to save the changes to the song, I always select don't save and you're good to go. You have your nice little ringtone in the Ringtones folder. Allison On Jun 21, 2010, at 12:14 AM, Sarah Alawami wrote: Oh nice! thanks for that.

You can do this under advanced preferences in Itunes. I forget what the exact setting is, but Amadeus will tell you. Once you click okay, you will be asked which format you want to save it. It's defaulted to AAC I think. I left it as is, and clicked okay. After that, you should see your new ringtone appear in your ringtones folder within Itunes music. I hope this is helpful to someone.

problem with multiple macs on same wifi network.
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has encountered this one. I have three macs at home, and when any two of them are on, and trying to use the wifi router, the entire thing falls over. Any of several things happen: 1. one of the machines cannot connect to the network; 2. the router itself drops connectivity to the broadband service provider. I don't think it's an issue with the number of machines, as connecting a mac and a windows machine (or two) doesn't cause this. Anyone any ideas?

Color Replacement for the Mac
Hello, I'm working in a Mac driven workplace and they're trying to move some of their visually impaired agents up to the newer software they use. However, they are having a hard time changing the fonts, some kind of conflict. What I wanted to know was whether or not there was a program that can change the screen colors like ZoomText can. I've found Nocturne and Blacklight which tint the screen, but it may not be enough for some of the agents. I really need a program that will replace colors with others. Also, the in-house software that they are using is web-based, Firefox specifically (not sure if it works well with other browsers). If I could find a similar program that only worked on the web that would be okay as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

DJ is a mixer. your left and right arrows switch from table 1 to table 2 respectively. I haven't figured out how to use the mic yet.

RE: Install iOS 4 today!
Hi. No, there are lots of other options for people on a budget. There are all sorts of phones from LG that have built-in speech for basic functions like phone book, call log, and text. You can get them on other carriers than ATT. You can even get low cost Windows smartphones on Verizon with MobileSpeak. Even if you get an iPhone, it isn't required that you use lots of mobile data. The Wi-Fi access is there for people on a budget, and the basic phone features don't require Internet access. Owning an iPhone, and also using it a lot over 3G, is totally an individual choice. The only thing that will annoy me is, if we pay more for Internet access, and the quality situation still doesn't improve. I think that it will improve a bit when many of the outrageously heavy network abusers get their first phone bill, and realize that they've streamed 20GB this month because of leaving Internet radio on all day every day. I think that will cause them to be a bit more picky about when they use the network. Some people will pay, no matter what ATT charges. Some people will cut back a bit. What I'm really looking forward to is having the abusers kicked off with big bills, so they'll stop monopolizing the network. I normally don't use that much 3G network when I'm out. I mainly just access e-mail, web sites, and data for apps like GPS. When I'm traveling, or on business trips, I'll use apps like Netflix or Pandora much more than usual. It isn't so bad to pay a bit more during those times to be able to get entertainment while I'm waiting in an airport terminal or such, or if I can't find a Wi-Fi signal for my laptop.

The more I think about it, though, the more I like it. Recently, when I travel to any large urban center in the US, network performance on my phone becomes degraded. Didn't used to be that way. Has become much worse in the last year or so. I know that is because, in large part, to all of the bazillion people on their iPhones. Previously, those people either didn't care, or didn't know enough, to affectively do anything on a smartphone that would consume a lot of bandwidth. Now, anyone can go get a cheap iPhone, and start lapping up all the bandwidth for $30 per month. You don't need many of those people in your area before most of the network capacity is gone. Sure, data will cost a bit more now. I'd like to pay less, but I can afford to pay more. However, paying more has the added benefit that most people won't be able to pay more, or at least will carefully consider what they're doing before they leave Pandora running on their iPhone all day at their desk, sucking up all of the capacity in the cell, etc. They'll be worried about bills now, which means they'll stay off the network, which means more bandwidth for me. I've noticed that just about any business that offers all you can use or all you can eat service starts to quickly drop off in quality. Think of those web hosting companies that promise unlimited bandwidth. Sure, the bandwidth for your site is unlimited, just like the bandwidth for the other thousand sites that they host are unlimited. The result is that you can download all you want, at a snail's pace. Who goes to a buffet restaurant for fine dining? It's better to pay a company a fee that actually manages to cover the costs for the service that they provide. If not, well, you descend in to the wonderfully high quality of unlimited web hosting and buffet dining. I think that I get more upset with ATT's network being clogged than I am about the price.

iTunes Store and movies
Hi guys, So, I figured that I'd finally pop the question and ask someone. A few days ago, I wrote to a Danish Mac mailing list about this as well, but I have heard nothing.

RE: installing windows on macs? What are the advantages/why do people opt for this?
Agreed. I think what I like most about the Mac is that I can run both at once. I like Mac for many tasks, but, honestly, Windows is better at several things. Doesn't matter. When using a Mac, I can run either. Of course, on a Windows machine, I could also run another OS like Linux, but, even as someone that's been to college for Computer Science, and worked professionally as a software engineer, I don't enjoy having to geek out on low level details on most tasks like is required with Linux. For me, anyway, the Mac OS is the most accessible Unix that I know of. It is what I wish Linux could have become. I can get low level if I want, but I don't have to. And, of course, VoiceOver is so much better than Orca, and Alex handily beats all of the speech engines for Linux. I kind of cheer Linux on in a way. This is probably a subject for another thread, but the reason that I think that OS X ended up so much better as a user friendly Unix instead of Linux, is that Linux makes it too easy for everyone to have their own way. Choice is a good thing, but the cost is that everyone has their own way, and trying to make all of those choices fit together/work together is a huge challenge. In some ways, I think that is a harder challenge than what Microsoft has to deal with by getting Windows to run on so many different types of computer components. I used to be for choice over all other considerations, but that peaked when I was a teenager, and was interested in computing for the sake of learning about computing. Now that I need computers for my business, I get real annoyed when I must research a computing problem in too much detail. I *can* figure it out, but I would rather spend my time working with the computer, instead of on it. Anything that saves me time and decreases complexity is worth the money that the person or company is asking. This is why I've switched to Apple stuff, even for situations where I don't use OS X.

I guess the question I'm asking here, is if you're going to shell out the cash for windows, and the third party access solutions, why get a mac in te first place? Also, from a VO users prospective, how difficult is it to switch between the two operating systems? I'm just curious, and if you're using windows, I would be interested in knowing why and how you switch between the OS's? Thanks for appeasing my curiosity! I'm sure there are totally good reasons for using windows on a mac, I'd just like to know why/what they are!

Re: Color Replacement for the Mac
Not sure if there is an app to change screen colours like zoomtext, have you tried writing to accessibil...@apple.com? as for the Firefox bit, you could create your own CSS which you get Firefox to use instead of the CSS that is on your web server.

I've found Nocturne and Blacklight which tint the screen, but it may not be enough for some of the agents. I really need a program that will replace colors with others. Also, the in-house software that they are using is web-based, Firefox specifically (not sure if it works well with other browsers). If I could find a similar program that only worked on the web that would be okay as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: problem with multiple macs on same wifi network.
Anne, Like you, I also have a number of Macs and iPhones connected to the wireless network and I am not or have not experienced any problems. I am curious if all of the machines on the network are configured to use dhcp or a mix of dhcp and static. It should not matter, but if using dhcp and if it is possible, I would use dhcp reservations to ensure each machine gets the same address. This is sort of like static, but yet new machines can get addresses. Just a thought from my perspective, which may be of little benefit. :) On Jun 21, 2010, at 9:05 AM, Anne Robertson wrote: Hello Dónal, We regularly have 4 or 5 Macs connected to our wifi network and never have the problems you describe.

that turns it on and off, but doesn't allow me to talk. I just thought about the short cut you gave me, it just checks and unchecks the mic check box.

Hi, I found a solution to the problem of changing sheets. The keyboard shortcut Command-PageUp does the trick. However, there is one caveat.

Then you can simply interact again, and the information is correctly read.

Hi Anne, There seems to be a sheets pane which changes sheet. Within each sheet, (certainly in the spreadsheet I'm having issues with) there are tables. So when you say select the individual sheets from the layout area, I'm not sure I quite follow you. *smile* I'm probably being a bit slow, but in my defence it's been a long day of looking at student grades.

The keyboard shortcut Command-PageUp does the trick. However, there is one caveat. Voiceover seems to have difficulty with this aspect of the application. SO after switching sheet, it's best to stop interacting with the table, and the layout area. Then you can simply interact again, and the information is correctly read. I found that you can select the sheet you want in the Layout Area. Each sheet is called a Layout Item. It seems to work in the same way as Pages.

Re: problem with multiple macs on same wifi network.
Huh, now that is interesting. I cannot imagine how the security settings of the router would affect things, but then again, that is the beauty of technology; it has to act up now and then.

Transfering music to iPod on Windows.
Hi folks. Does anyone here have a great way to transfere music from my iTunes in windows to my iPod Touch? By now I have a playlist that I sync with, but that's absolutly not a good solution. I use my Mac to sync apps and podcasts with the iPod, and when I tried syncing audiobooks, all the music I synced with the Windows-box got lost. I hope that if I can handle the music part manually, maybe this don't happens. Kind regards David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: problem with multiple macs on same wifi network.
I have the same exact issue. Are you using a linksys router? I'm not sure what goes on, but it seems to topple over when I want to do filesharing, which works flawlessly but that is when it falls over. I have no clue why this happens but either a reboot or a reboot of the router does the trick. I've got an iMac and a macbook here and wouldn't have a clue. But I have tried printer sharing and it works flawlessly as well. Take care Cody On Jun 21, 2010, at 7:14 AM, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has encountered this one.

Re: Color Replacement for the Mac
I don't think VisioVoice has what I need, but it is good to know about it. It might help some other people I am working with.

Do you have to have a plug-in to do that or does Firefox have a built in feature for it?

It's defaulted to AAC I think. I left it as is, and clicked okay. After that, you should see your new ringtone appear in your ringtones folder within Itunes music. I hope this is helpful to someone.

Talking Wallpaper
Well struggling to find the 100 new features, but have found one that I did request. When going into setting and selecting Wallpaper you now get a description of the image as you roll your finger over them, before the update the wallpaper image was just read out as image. Very useful and hope other developers follow this example. Noticed that some applications actually now speak out corrections and suggestions as not many did apart from SMS etc. Very disappointed to see the same ringtones and no ability to assign one from iPod library and there is still the usual rubbish text alert sounds with no option to select additional ones. You still can't change the email alert sound either. Was also hoping for the ability to create groups so `i can send a circular of jokes to a group of friends. The only way you can create groups is via the Address Book on the Mac, not sure how Windows users would achieve this. I am hoping that messages that failed to send will become pending and auto send once a signal becomes available. Was really hoping for more good phone features, but the improvements to mail are very welcome and I love the touch typing feature and I really did not think I would but I can type much faster now. Anyone else found any other hidden gems in 4.0 apart from the ones Apple told us about? Does anyone know if there is anywhere online that lists the full 100 features? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Talking Wallpaper
Also noticed on the screen locke page you don't have to double tap to unlock anymore, you can now slide to unlock too just like a sighted user. I am pleased about this as I am sure us blind folk are capable of sliding our finger across the bottom of the screen. I think white on Black could be improved, really this is just a negative image and looks awful with wallpapers, photos and web pages. Why did not Apple just add a theme for the text and background colour to invert only on calendars, iPod, Text Messages, Email and Settings screen but leave the nice buttons blue and the coloured icons and photos as is. My mum likes to use white on black text in sun light situations, have set her phone to toggle between negative and positive with 3 button clicks of the home button. Come on Apple?

Re: Color Replacement for the Mac

However, they are having a hard time changing the fonts, some kind of conflict. Curious. What I wanted to know was whether or not there was a program that can change the screen colors like ZoomText can. I've found Nocturne and Blacklight which tint the screen, but it may not be enough for some of the agents. OS X has a built-in ability to invert all the colors on the display. Press Command-Option-Control-8 to invert all the colors and press it again to uninvert them. I'm not sure how this compares to Nocture or Blacklight, but maybe this will work for some of your colleagues. Also, the in-house software that they are using is web-based, Firefox specifically (not sure if it works well with other browsers). If I could find a similar program that only worked on the web that would be okay as well. Accessible Firefox themes might help with the Firefox interface itself, although they won't affect the webpages: http://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_Accessibility_Themes.php If worst came to worst, you could certainly build your own custom CSS, but that could require a fair bit of CSS knowledge. Before doing that, try just enforcing your own color choices via Firefox's options, via Preferences, Content tab, Colors button, untick Allow pages to choose their own colors. This is not foolproof as it turns of background images, which are erroneously used as content images by some websites. Hope that helps. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: problem with multiple macs on same wifi network.
Nope, an old Netopia router which isn't very good. However, the similarity is that we have a macbook pro, and two iMacs trying to connect.

iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone
Hi folks, I've noticed an undesirable happening with iBooks on my touch. Upon double tapping the button to buy a book, it doesn't seem to work and that button disappears. When I tap and hold until the pass-through noise is heard, I can get it to go past the book info screen. So far, I've had one other person confirm it on her iPhone and wonder if anyone else with iPod touches and/or iPhones wouldn't mind trying this out. If you find the same, I reckon we should report it to Apple Thanks, Blake -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

how to add voices to language rotor.
Hi list, I have a question about the language rotor in voiceover. I want to have the option to choose between the US english, australian english, and UK english voices. However, right now it is only showing the US and australian voices. How do I add the UK english one to the mix as well? I tried going to accessibility and voiceover, and selected the language rotor button. I then dragged the british english voice just below the australian one which is first. Still it does not appear as an option. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: how to add voices to language rotor.
Hi John, There should have been an option for British English on the language rotor. Did you not find it? If I select U.S. English, Australian English, and British English all these options will appear on my language rotor, in addition to my default language,with or without the optional re-ordering. The reason that having the language rotor for voice selection is better than choosing a region is that you won't change the date, time, and telephone number entry formats, or your default currency. In some apps, you end up using your region setting -- such as Safari, which may use Australia for your country search if you select that voice. HTH.

Re: how to add voices to language rotor.
Hi Esther, I'm feeling fairly silly about now. I've found the language rotor with its many languages and the reorder buttons. In a note to John, you mentioned selecting certain languages to be in the rotor. Here, all the languages are there. that is in settings, general, accessibility, voice over. But I didn't see something to turn languages on or off or to turn the whole thing on or off so that language selection shows up when you do the rotor gesture. I still get characters and words or, if on a web page, I get the usual items, but no languages. Nor do I understand how to select just those I want. this must e a simple thing that I'm overlooking. mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Hi All, Someone just sent me a long book manuscript as a pdf. If I wanted to read it on the go on my ipod touch, what's the best way to do it? Should I use voiceover? Or is it true that it's possible to convert the pdf to a spoken word text that I could access through itunes? If so, how do I do this? And is it easier to use in itunes than in VO? For example, can you set the pace of speech in these itunes files or mark your place? Also, can what I read be sync-ed between devices? For example if I start reading it on my Macbook Pro but then want to pick up on my ipod, would it sync to where I left off?

Re: how to add voices to language rotor.
Hi Mary, If you've found the language rotor under Settings General Accessibility VoiceOver, at the end of the page, just double tap Language Rotor. You'll be on a page where the language options are listed alphabetically. Just double tap to make your selection. The first entry will be Australian English, and if you flick right there will be a reorder button. You can swipe up a couple of times to reach U.S. English. Greek is just below that, followed by Russian, which is announced with the Russian voice. Just double tap any entries you want to add so you'll hear Selected. Exit by double tapping the VoiceOver, back button at the top left. Then, when you're in a text field or on a web page, use the rotor until you hear Language, and swipe up or down till you reach the language you want. If you have a bluetooth keyboard, there are also now hardware keyboard settings under Settings General Keyboard International Keyboards once you double tap the language you've selected. (The page will have both Software and Hardware Keyboard layout options.) HTH. Cheers, Esther On Jun 21, 2010, at 14:15, Mary Otten wrote: Hi Esther, I'm feeling fairly silly about now. I've found the language rotor with its many languages and the reorder buttons. In a note to John, you mentioned selecting certain languages to be in the rotor. Here, all the languages are there. that is in settings, general, accessibility, voice over. But I didn't see something to turn languages on or off or to turn the whole thing on or off so that language selection shows up when you do the rotor gesture. I still get characters and words or, if on a web page, I get the usual items, but no languages. Nor do I understand how to select just those I want. this must e a simple thing that I'm overlooking. mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: how to add voices to language rotor.
Hi Esther, Well, I do feel stupid. I saw all the languages and the reorder buttons, and for some reason, it never occurred to me that I had to double tap to select the language, so convinced was I that the buttons held the key to the problem, as in, double tap and hold and them maybe something could be deleted. the Russian voice is pretty decent, better than I thought it would be, as is the Mexico Spanish voice. Pretty darned cool! I wonder if Ibooks will have foreign language texts eventually; I suspect I'll wait a long time for anything in Russian, though. smile mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: how to add voices to language rotor.
Hi Mary, Try this web site for Russian language texts: http://ilibrary.ru/text/976/p.1/index.html I've pointed you to Chekhov's short story, Lady with a Lapdog. I haven't tried searching, but I imagine it would be possible to find Russian texts -- just not current titles, yet!. It will be something to practice using your language rotor on.

Re: reading a long pdf: vo vs spoken word in itunes
Hi Catherine and Joel, I haven't played with this much, because the eBook options and capabilities have been changing too rapidly recently. But iBooks has support for PDFs now. The question is, whether it navigates correctly and bookmarks, as opposed to straight reading, which can be handled for documents. PDFs could always be added to the iTunes library. In fact, there was a software product early on to use iTunes to organize and store PDF research papers with tagged information. It should be possible to make an audio file out of a PDF file and put it on the iPod Touch, but it would take more resources and space. The new iOS4 release seems to support quite a lot, so having VoiceOver read the PDF on the fly in iBooks would be worth exploring. You'd just check the entries you wanted on the Books tab. Also, Stanza started supporting PDFs very recently, but I'm pretty sure you'd still have bookmarking issues if you played these in Stanza. PDF documents can now be separately uploaded to Stanza, and some other applications, on the Applications tab for the device. There's a new section after the table of applications where you can select the list of apps with document transfer, and then check the listed documents for that app. I'm not sure whether you could pick up the reading position when you sync. You could do this if you made the document into an audiobook, but it would occupy more space and take more resources to transform. I think you could use GhostReader, if you have that, as an easy way to create an audiofile. Or, you could set up an automator action to do this. I've just never done this for a PDF file, since I can read them directly, and a lot more easily on my Mac. HTH.

Re: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone
Hi Blake and Joel, Try doing a double tap and hold on the button. What's happening is that the app is waiting for you to double tap the button again. On the iPad, where this all works, the button for the price or free changes into a Get Book button that you double tap again to confirm your selection/purchase. Then you are prompted to enter your iTunes password. What I had to do on my iPod Touch was locate the button where Get Book should have shown up by moving my finger up slightly from Get Sample button. Then I toggled VoiceOver off and tapped once in that location, and toggled VoiceOver back on. I was at the window where VoiceOver prompts you for you iTunes password, so I typed that in and the book downloaded. The second time, I tried a double tap and hold on the button. This might only have worked because my iTunes password was still active, though. I would report this as an accessibility issue. The books did show up in my library after I typed in the iTunes password, but I was experimenting with free books for this trial run.

Re: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone
Hi all, I have installed the Ibooks app on my touch. I'm getting the impression that to purchase or just get free books, I have to do that from within the app; there is a 'store button. I was hoping I could shop on my Mac and synch up with the Touch, but I'm not seeing any sort of ibooks entry there except for the app itself in the Iphone section of the app store. Am I missing something obvious yet again? Or must one purchase ibooks on the device one wishes to read them on? Is there suppose to be a free book that comes along with the app? I'm not seeing anything installed. I see the bookshelf and title, author and category, which I presume are ways of sorting the material. but my list is said to be empty, which would seem to indicate the absence of a sample test book with the app. Mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Is there a folder synchronization utility or software for the mac?
Over on my windows PC I used the free program Sync toy to synchronize my downloaded podcast into the book sense. It would only transfer files that had not been transferred before. This was convenient since after listening to a podcast on the book sense, I then deleted the file, and only new downloaded podcast would appear on the book sense folders, which let me know that they were new podcast. Plus this strategy allowed me to avoid the clutter of having many files to scroll to when listening to a podcast. Is there a program for the Mac that will synchronize folders like sin toy does on windows? Any synchronization software suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
