Re: spotlight search is wonderful!
What does the Mac do that Windows doesn't? I am just curious and wonder how Snow Leopard compares to Windows 7, we use XP at work (awful) but not used 7 yet. You can email me off list if you prefer.

Re: Keyboard issues with fusion, suggestions?

One, as I've mentioned before, is that even with sharp keys, I can't get an insert key that works reliably. For example, after remapping a key to insert, I can get the insert-t to work for SA, but not insert-f. Instead I get the find dialog. Second, I need to find a way to reliably switch the keyboard from the mac side and into windows. It's flakey to say the least, even with VO off. sometimes I'm in windows, sometimes I'm not, and more often than not it takes several tries of turning VO on, seeing where I am, turning it off again, trying keystrokes, before I get it working. I really, really want to switch this to my primary machine, but I simply can't with these keyboard troubles. If it makes a difference, I often find myself using the trackpad commander when on the mac side of things. Thanks for any help on these issues or any other tips!

Re: spotlight search is wonderful!
Yes, but you can also use Spotlight to get definitions for words. Write any word in the search field, and you will get a definition list with related words and a description/explanation of the term. Try for example with the word hilarious and see the result. Also, you can use Spotlight as a quick calculator. Write 2+2 or 24/8 in the search field, and you will get the result 2+2=4 and 24/8=3.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Hi Carolyn, Yes that is what I was told and I should correct myself. I did state that trying to scan the barcode of a can is a little tricky, but I did manage it once. I have not tried the technique on a few other cans, but your tip is spot on. However, again, a good idea is to hold the phone against the item and back away during the scan process. That is how I did get a can scanned. Thanks, On Jul 8, 2010, at 10:07 PM, Carolyn wrote: Hey Scott:I don't know if this'll help at all, but I use an ID mate from Nvision America.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Nancy, I neglected to comment on this statement, but I agree and that statement was rather insulting. I have to say that as much participation as you and others have demonstrated on these e-mail lists, shows a level of commitment. I see lots of potential in this application and although I do not have one of those bluetooth laser barcode readers, I have thought about it. Like I said, for me it would just speed up the process, but then I suffer from lack of patients. :) Although now that I have gotten better with scanning barcodes with the camera, I have shorten the time it takes. However, I see the bluetooth scanner as a way to potentially make it easier for vendor operators to take inventory, possibly blind people to work in retail doing a number of different tasks, and so forth. I see the scanner as a natural extension to DigitEyes. Of course I sent you that article that I still see possibilities with.

Re: connecting a wireless printer
Michael, I do not understand your message as written. However, what I recommend is that you look for the manual online. Maybe if you provided the printer's model etc. someone may have one and can help. Unfortunately your asking for help to connect a printer to a network before it can be connected to your Mac, which honestly is rather involved. The issues are: 1. Is the wi-fi turned on. 2. It probably is setup for dhcp, but if not, there may be a default address. 3. Does it have an ethernet port, so you can connect directly to the router and perhaps do the basic configuration? 4. If a touch screen, it may required sighted assistance for the initial setup. My impression is your dealing with a new printer. If this printer has already been connected to the network and other machines have been sending print jobs, then that is another issue and something easier to address.

Re: writing in spanish
Hi May, You're confusing the Command key with the Option key for typing accents and special characters. I'll paste in a repeat excerpted session from archived posts that describes how to type accented characters and punctuation marks using Option key combinations: begin excerpt Accented characters on the regular Mac keyboard For accents and more common special characters, using the Option key in combination with the Control, Command, and Shift keys give many of the necessary characters.

Re: convert text to mp3
HI there, Here's one case where I've found it handy. Back in the bad old days when I used to use windows, I had lots of text-books I needed to read. On the bus was the only time I could do this. I didn't have an iPhone, just a standard old 60 gig iAudio running rockbox, (and a fantastic player it was). Anyways, I converted the text of the book to mp3, used Winamp to create a playlist, and popped the whole thing onto the mp3 player.

transferring stuff from pc to mac?
Hi I got some stuff on my netbook that I want to transfer over to my mac. The problem is compounded by the fact that if the netbook were working correctly I could just plug in my new passport drive and windows xp would see it but its not working out like that. So my question is this, is there a way I could plug the old passport drive into the netbook, tell the netbook to act as a kind of server, sharing all of the files on the old passport drive. Then go to the mac plug in the new passport drive into the mac which the mac does see the new passport drive but it does not see the old one because the old drive is a blackarmor drive that only works on windows machines so anyway I would use the network netbook as a kind of server to transfer all 100gigs of stuff from one passport drive onto the other drive, not cuttig it, but copying it over. Is this possible? or am I making this too complicated and there's a better way for me to do it? I want to copy the old passport drive onto the new one and the new one has tons more space than the old one does.

Re: Solona commandline tool for the Mac
Hi Barry, Thanks for all this info. I was basically following the instructions on the audio. I wondered why she didn't do the whole directory change in one step. I wondered if for some reason you couldn't do that on the Mac. Glad to know you can. I'd never used quotes when dealing with command lines, but then I think the last time I did that was back in the DOS days when filenames didn't have spaces .:) Take care, Donna On Jul 8, 2010, at 5:55 PM, Barry Hadder wrote: Donna, You only have to use quotes if the file or directory name contains spaces. You can also escape the spaces with \. Also, everything is case sensitive. So, cd Documents/solona should get you there assuming you are in your home directory.

Quicken Essentials for the Mac
Hello everyone. Have any of you tried Quicken Essentials for the Mac? If so, how accessible is it? What pitfalls did you run into? Is there anything that you cannot do? Finally, if Quicken Essentials isn't accessible, can you recommend another accessible checkbook for the Mac? Finally, is drag and drop reliable with Voice Over?

Re: transferring stuff from pc to mac?
Hi Josh I'll try to help you with this al though I haven't quite got it down to the point where I can give you exact instructions but hopefully I can get you in the right direction. What you will need to do first is run the networking and sharing wizard on the windows computer if you haven't already done so., and then set your two passport drives to be shared out on the network so that you can copy stuff betwene them and they can see each other so in windows you wanta go to the properties on the drive that's plugged into the netbook and go to the sharing tab and check the box that says share this folder or drive on the network. then you will need to go into the system preferences on the mac and go to the sharing option and then navigate to the options button and press vo space then there will be a checkbox called smb for windows computers, note if you have a password on your windows account at some point you will need to enter that on the mac. now the next thing after the smb checkbox is a table which lists all the accounts that are allowed to access the shared folders and they will have checkboxes so you just check the one you want then the mac will ask you for the password for that account and I think it's refering to the mac account but I'm not sure but try the password for the account on the mac put the password in and find the ok button if you're using snow leopard then it will probably automatically start interacting with the accounts table when you enter it, if not, just do vo-shift-downarrow and when you are done use vo-shift-up arrow to stop interacting with it and find the done button and press it. now we need to go to the mac side of the drive sharing and enable your other passport so put the cursor on it in the finder and do connand-i to bring up the info dialog and there will be a general discloser triangle if it's collapsed do vo-backslash to expand it and after all the different colors of labels ther will be a checkbox that says shared folder so you'll want to check this box and then you'll want to make sure that you have appropriate premitions to access the folder so if you want to be able to both read and write to this drive then make sure that it says that down at the bottom and after you're done with that close the window. ok, well if all that went well now let's see if we can access the folder either on the mac or the net book. if you want to access it on the mac from with in the finder do command shift k and this will bring up your network of computers and you can navigate through them it's kind of like a treeview it seems like for me sometimes once I get wown so far I have to do command o or command down arrow to open the folder, well so when you find what you want to coppy on the windows computer do command c to copy then go find the place on the mac where you wanta paste it and do command v to paste. While the progress is going you can then interact with the list to see how much has been transfered and how much time is left. Well I hope this helps you get accomplished what your trying to do maybe some one else can fill in anything I might have left out Lol! Gene- Original Message - From: Josh Kennedy jkenn...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 7:19 AM Subject: transferring stuff from pc to mac? Hi I got some stuff on my netbook that I want to transfer over to my mac. The problem is compounded by the fact that if the netbook were working correctly I could just plug in my new passport drive and windows xp would see it but its not working out like that. So my question is this, is there a way I could plug the old passport drive into the netbook, tell the netbook to act as a kind of server, sharing all of the files on the old passport drive. Then go to the mac plug in the new passport drive into the mac which the mac does see the new passport drive but it does not see the old one because the old drive is a blackarmor drive that only works on windows machines so anyway I would use the network netbook as a kind of server to transfer all 100gigs of stuff from one passport drive onto the other drive, not cuttig it, but copying it over. Is this possible? or am I making this too complicated and there's a better way for me to do it? I want to copy the old passport drive onto the new one and the new one has tons more space than the old one does.

Re: problem with my imac
Perhaps if you read your own messages, you would realized that your initial message gave no indication to what the problem was and this message is not much more clear than the first. Is this a wireless keyboard or a wired keyboard. WHat exactly do you mean it does not work? Can you get any keys to work? Do you have another keyboard you can try? Is the keyboard plugged into a hub or directly into the iMac? have you any other USB keyboards handy or can get one to do some testing? Do you know what you were doing just before the problem occurred? Some simple questions you can ask yourself and use to compose your request for help. This would go a long way to helping us help you.

Re: transferring stuff from pc to mac?
Hey Josh, I haven't explored this fully, but I did manage to stumble and fumble through networking xp and my mac. I didn't think it worked at first but then I went to networking on the mac and it did work. What I mean is that the mac can see the xp harddrive. So I can copy what I want from the xp to the mac and the other way around. unfortunately, I don't think this works for external drives. But I don't know for sure.

transferring stuff between pc and mac
Hi, I heard of something called a network crossover cable. I wonder if it would be faster to buy one of those and transfer it that way? Because by doing it the other way the 100 gigs of stuff will be transferring over wifi and I'm not sure if it'll interfeer with other people's internet connections or not.

Re: transferring stuff between pc and mac
Hi Josh: I just copied data to an external drive on my PC, removed it, and plugged it in to the Mac.

Re: alias
And guess what? Aliases do work across volumes. So, providing that volume is mounted, an alias can point to a file on an external drive or drive mounted on a network volume. Cool.

Chuck, I assume that you have tried entering transactions. I also assume that you have added a bank account and have updated a few times. Have you had to resolve duplicate transactions by dragging and dropping yet? How about the category and tag lists? Can you assign categories and tags to your transactions?

Re: problem with my imac
Hi Joseph, I'll assume in this case that you either have a wireless keyboard or a standard keyboard without the numpad as you shouldn't experience these problems with the extended keyboard with the NumPad. Try these steps: 1. if you're lucky and the Option key toggle is checked, then simply press the Option key five times in quick succession and you'll hear some clicks and then Mouse Keys will turn off and life will be good. Otherwise: 1. Open System Preferences. If cmd-tab does not take you there, then press ctrl-f2 to take you to the menubar, then down arrow to System Preferences, route the mouse to your VO location by pressing fn+VO+cmd+f5, then press fn+i to click the mouse. VO may turn off then back on but that is not an issue. Press cmd-tab until System Preferences is the active window. 2. Press the tab key until VO announces that Universal Access is selected. 3. Route the mouse to VO by pressing fn+VO+cmd+f5 then press the letter i to click the mouse. 4. Use VO-right arrow to navigate to the Off button, route the mouse to VO by pressing fn+VO+cmd+f5 then press the letter i once again. This should fix it for you. While you're in that Preference pane, it would be good to make sure that the button Press the Option key five times to toggle Mouse Keys On and Off is checked so that if this happens again, you'll have an easy fix.

Hi I only use the Cash account with quicken no on line banking. category and tag lists seems to be doable but I have not poked around enough yet!

Re: Non-Latin alphabets and voice over
Hello Aman, Anne has answered your question about available Braille tables for non- Latin alphabets. I think that the tables Archie has made are the only ones available -- there aren't any others that Apple has done. As far as using VoiceOver with non-Latin alphabets on the Mac, the only languages that I'm aware of that have been used this way are Russian and Greek. The major difficulty is finding voices in the non-Latin alphabets to work with VoiceOver. The Arabic voices from Infovox are their newest additions, which is why I believe there isn't a standard trial download along with all the others. (Russian,Greek, and Turkish were added in the batch before that.) I don't know of any Chinese or Hebrew voices for the Mac, although you may find some software packages for language learning that provided limited text-to-speech options within that software application. There is supposed to be a Japanese DTalker voice that is now Snow Leopard ready. You'd have to ask Yuma if she's made progress with ordering this. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch upgraded to iOS 4, you can set your language rotor to Japanese, and get more details if you point your iPhone web browser to: http://www.createsystem.co.jp/dtalkerMacOSX.html The main thing to keep in mind for VoiceOver on the Mac, is that you want to be able to switch input language keyboards to some language that supports Latin input characters. Otherwise, you could be in a situation where you can't type VoiceOver commands and have them recognized because the keyboard doesn't support it. Keyboard switching shortcuts can be set up under System Preferences along with your selection of other input language keyboards. There really aren't other options that I know of, short of using the iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad (when it gets the language rotor support under VoiceOver that was supposed to be present in user models, and is present in all the models that are set up with the Apple distribution discs in Apple Stores). At least Arabic has Infovox voices available for the Mac. On the iPhone, the Infovox Arabic voices are offered as in-app voice purchase options for Voxtrek (a GPS navigation app), which added this feature relatively recently, but are not available in apps like Translate Now (or Translate Pro), which incorporated all the available Infovox voice options at the time of its release (so it includes Greek, Russian, and Turkish, for example, but not Arabic). I'm not aware of iPhone apps that will speak Hebrew. The Loquendo group has a few other text to speech voices used on the iPhone for languages like Galician and Catalan, but these are European languages. They're supposed to have a Chinese voice, but I haven't found it used on the iPhone. (In any case, these are voices that only work within specific apps, although you can paste text into translation apps to have them spoken.) For languages like Chinese, you have some options on the iPhone or iPod Touch if you use the language rotor feature of iOS 4, and there are some free and accessible dictionary apps. You can read my recent archived post on Chinese Input with VoiceOver on the iPhone: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg24706.html Again on the iPhone or iPod Touch, if you have access to the U.S. or Canadian App Store (and possibly the U.K. and other stores in the future), you can try the Trippo VoiceMagix app that does voice recognition (U.S. English accents for input, only) as well as text translation, and offers spoken audio for some translated text (in Chinese, Hindi, and other interesting languages with non-Latin alphabets, but not Arabic in spoken version -- only text.) That archive post discussion is in a recent archived post, Trippo VoiceMagix -- new speech recognition and translation app for iPhone on sale for $6.99 in U.S. App Store: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg23454.html (You might want to read down the thread for some further discussion on how this app compares with other language apps that can be used for different functions. If you're on a Mac, the access key combination is Control-N to go to the next post in the thread, and Control-P to go to the previous post in a thread at the Mail Archive.) Specifically for (Mandarin) Chinese and (Iraqi) Arabic, there are translation apps by Jibbigo (Jibbigo Chinese English Speech Translator and Jibbigo Iraqi English Speech Translator). These apps are $25 each, and are supposed to do bi-directional speech recognition and translation on your iPhone. (Most translation apps work via an internet connection to a translation server.) I haven't tried these, but I'm skeptical about the accuracy of voice recognition for Chinese and Arabic, given the range of accents and the structure of these languages. (You'll notice the app is
help with mac windows7 and bootcamp

First question is, for some reason to get standard use of the function keys I gotta hold down the fn key while pressing the f keys. Second, I boot up into windows, hit caps lock n, it says nvda menu, but when I arrow down to go into the menus the menus disappear and I'm put back on the desktop. Do I have to wait awhile before I can use nvda? also why isn't nvda showing up in the system tray? This is my first time with windows7. Oh and also for some reason we did install bootcamp on the windows side because I needed or it has drivers windows needs, but the only way I can get full use of my sound is by using USB headphones.

Hi, first, open system preferences, and choose accounts. Click the lock button and enter your password, then choose the log in options list item.

OT: introducting lockerz
Hello all, I'm writing to talk a little bit about a site that I just found out about called lockerz. I was brought on to this when my grandmom told me about a free ipad she saw which was a scam and the site wasn't even online. So I was bored and was scanning the web and all I kept getting were sites coming up claiming to be free but you had to subscribe to these damn offers so you ended up signing up for all this crap and spending money for trials that eventually you had to cancel anyway. Lockerz is a site that allows you to gain points and then redeem those points for purchandize. The site is accessible with voiceover to an extent but thus far I really haven't had any issues with it. there are videos that really aren't of any value, you just watch them to get points, then you answer questions on the site to get point they are pretty dumb questions but it's points all the same and it doesn't matter what answer you pick you just get rewarded for whatever youpick. If you decide that you want to redeem your points or some kick ass murch, all you need to do it click on redeem at the top and then go to whatever category you want like electronic, clothing or whatever you want to redeem for. in the electronics section there are things like imacs, macbooks, ipads, ipods etc etc. It is free however it is invite only so if this sounds like a possible option for you, then reply back to me off list with your email address in the body and I will send you an invite. Again, this is not a scam you can even search for youtube videos where people actually got their murch and unbox it. Take care all Cody -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com.

Re: alias
Nice! Thanks for that! S On Jul 9, 2010, at 11:00 AM, Slau Halatyn wrote: And guess what? Aliases do work across volumes. So, providing that volume is mounted, an alias can point to a file on an external drive or drive mounted on a network volume. Cool.
