Re: Using a Mac Mini without a monitor

2010-07-11 Thread Dan Roy
Please, spare us this!

While I think it would be nice if the mini worked without a monitor, please, 
don't give us this stuff about being forced to buy something you don't need.  
Personally, I have a vary old monitor which I keep around just in case I get in 
to trouble where sighted assistance is necessary.  I am sure that most of us 
who came from windows know that does happen from time to time to even the best 
of us. So, even though I have never yet had a problem on the mac where sighted 
assistance was definitely necessary, I have learned that having a vary 
inexpensive monitor around is a good idea regardless.

You can buy a used 1 for $50 or less, especially an old 15 inch LCD or 
something like that.

On my mini, I have found that any old monitor would solve the problem and 
didn't even have to be turned on.  So, I hope we don't go off on the whole 
needing a monitor thing, because, it's really trivial!

 I've never used a monitor with my Mack mini. Even with setup, I didn't use a

 it without a monitor. If so, are any settings required? If not, when is the
 check for the monitor done? Is it just at boot up, or is it done
 periodically throughout the use of the system?
 Thanks in advance.

RE: A warning about Digit-Eyes

2010-07-11 Thread Bryan Smart
Actually, Scott, I'm not wishing for some high priced blind-only solution. I'd 
be 100% satisfied if this app worked with a separate laser scanner that I 
purchased at my own expense. Could get one of those for $300 or so, and it 
would still come out cheaper than the blind-guy solutions.

Communicating with a Bluetooth laser scanner is easy. Laser bar code scanners, 
even ones that work over Bluetooth, are simple serial communications devices. 
All of the brains for scanning a code are in the scanner. Once it sees a code, 
it simply sends the raw code to the computer (or iPhone), over a serial  
connection. In the case of Bluetooth, this happens over the serial port 
profile, which has been around in Bluetooth since the very first spec.

So, the Digit-Eyes people simply need to open a connection to your Bluetooth 
scanner over the serial port protocol, and sit/wait for a code to come in. They 
already have lots of code in their program for attempting to extract bar codes 
out of the camera images, and then pass the code to a web service that returns 
the information. In the case of a Bluetooth scanner, such processing isn't 
necessary. The scanner does the work for them. They just receive the code, and 
pass it along to their web service. The programming is dirt simple, compared to 
the rest of what is in this program.

I'm glad that they're trying. I think that their bar code database has some 
good value. I just don't think that a CCD camera is up to this task. That's 
fine. I'll use my own laser scanner. I just want support for it, since the 
camera won't work dependably.

I am not going to waste my time arguing with you over the issue. I am not

that cost more. My entire point to this discussion is that this may not be 
perfect, but it sure as hell is better than what is available, based on cost. I 
would gladly spend $30 on a product that is in development and may not even 
quite reach the same level as some of the Blindness products, then spend the 
$1,000 or more for the Blindness products. Then that is me and of course you 
do what works best for you.
So, we can agree to disagree and move on to other topics, this thread has run 
its course as far as I am concerned.

Bryan,

All I can say is at the end of this entire discussion, it seems we agree. Like 
I said, send them a note because I did and I hope they give it serious 
consideration. I would also pay the $300 and probably could be had for less. 
The less time it takes to scan, also has the benefit of conserving battery on 
the phone and like I said, there are a number of applications where the gun 
would be more useful. Also it seems Apple is still interested in using an RF-ID 
reader to provide some of the same capabilities and that is another area to 
keep tabs on and even for the folks at Digit-Eyes.

I gotta tell you that you earn every single one of the points they give you. 
Some of these videos are enough to make a person run screaming into the night.

Converting .mkv files into video.ts files

2010-07-11 Thread John Panarese
Hi Folks,
 I know little about this subject, but someone asked me if there is a 
VoiceOver accessible application or utility that will convert a mkv file into a 
video.ts file that one can then burn to a DVD disk.  It seems, from my initial 
browsing on Google, that there are a few ways of doing it, but I have no idea 
if there is any particular method that works with VoiceOver.  Any help would be 
appreciated.

Take Care

 Hi
 
 the nls player will not play audible books. it only will play:
 mp3
 daisy

 .3gp
 that is all. so to play audible books I have to convert them to standard mp3 
 first. on windows I use goldwave and audible media player filter. but if 
 there's an easier way to do it with the mac side of my macbook pro I'd love

a problem with vista

2010-07-11 Thread gene
Hi guys well I know it's kind of out dated but I'm trying to install vista on 
my macbook I would put 7 on it how ever apple doesn't want to support the 
wireless adapter at the time.  But anyway I am using the bootcamp partition and 
after windows gets installed and finishes installing and prepairing the desktop 
the next time it comes up it says warning the partition e: is not valid and to 
please use microsoft fdisk to rebuild the partition, now I'm thinking this 
could ignored since according to the bootcamp installation guide I can't really 
utilize the mac partition in windows anyway since I'm using ntfs.  what does 
everyone else think about this problem? 
Thanks
Gene

Re: Adding Radio Streams in iTunes

2010-07-11 Thread Scott Howell
Have you looked to see if those streams are available in iTunes and also in 
what format are the streams? If the stream is not in the iTunes radio list and 
is in the WMA format, you will not be able to play them. I think though there 
is a plugin that allows you to play WMA content via iTunes, but I cannot recall 
what the name of that program/library is or where to get it.

converting audible books

2010-07-11 Thread Josh Kennedy
Hi

Goldwave will still convert them if you first deactivate your audible manager 
then uninstall it, then install windows media player filter and k-lite mega 
codec pack. open audible book in gold wave, enter audible user name , password, 
goldwave opens book, then save as mp3. will not convert .aax new audible 
extreme format books. to do that you'll have to burn to physical cd or iso file 
then either rip cd to mp3 or mount iso file as another drive and rip to mp3, 
then unmount and delete iso or isos.

Re: OT Lockerz

2010-07-11 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
This is probably going to be one of those things that I give up on
after a couple of days.
You can watch a video 5 times, giving you a total of 10ptz.
Lets say that you do this with 5 videos a day if that's even possible,
giving you 50ptz a day, plus 2 for check in.
This means that if you did this every day, you'd have an iPad in just
under 3 weeks.
However. If we say that the video is 2 minutes long, like the one that
I watched:
10ptz equates to 10 minutes worth of video watching, * 5 = 50, meaning
that you'll have to spend 50 minutes watching the same 5 videos a day.
If we say that you will have to do this for ruffly 20 days, 1000
(Total amount of minutes you would have to spend watching videos) / 60
= just over 16 and a half hours.
The iPad starts at £429 on the apple store, so if we take the more or
less 16.5 hours that I mension above, this equates to you getting paid
£26 per hour, which doesn't really sound that bad if you think about
it.
This wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a capture that you had to fill
in, which slows you down a bit.

Lets just hope I can invite some friends. If anyone wants an invite,
let me know.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes

If an RFID reader was used, does that mean that all products would have RFID

 Bryan,
 
 All I can say is at the end of this entire discussion, it seems we agree. 
 Like I said, send them a note because I did and I hope they give it serious 
 consideration. I would also pay the $300 and probably could be had for less. 
 The less time it takes to scan, also has the benefit of conserving battery on 
 the phone and like I said, there are a number of applications where the gun 
 would be more useful. Also it seems Apple is still interested in using an 
 RF-ID reader to provide some of the same capabilities and that is another 
 area to keep tabs on and even for the folks at Digit-Eyes.

 Actually, Scott, I'm not wishing for some high priced blind-only solution. 
 I'd be 100% satisfied if this app worked with a separate laser scanner that 
 I purchased at my own expense. Could get one of those for $300 or so, and it 
 would still come out cheaper than the blind-guy solutions.
 
 Communicating with a Bluetooth laser scanner is easy. Laser bar code 
 scanners, even ones that work over Bluetooth, are simple serial 
 communications devices. All of the brains for scanning a code are in the 
 scanner. Once it sees a code, it simply sends the raw code to the computer 
 (or iPhone), over a serial  connection. In the case of Bluetooth, this 
 happens over the serial port profile, which has been around in Bluetooth 
 since the very first spec.
 
 So, the Digit-Eyes people simply need to open a connection to your Bluetooth 
 scanner over the serial port protocol, and sit/wait for a code to come in. 
 They already have lots of code in their program for attempting to extract 
 bar codes out of the camera images, and then pass the code to a web service 
 that returns the information. In the case of a Bluetooth scanner, such 
 processing isn't necessary. The scanner does the work for them. They just 
 receive the code, and pass it along to their web service. The programming is 
 dirt simple, compared to the rest of what is in this program.
 
 I'm glad that they're trying. I think that their bar code database has some 
 good value. I just don't think that a CCD camera is up to this task. That's 
 fine. I'll use my own laser scanner. I just want support for it, since the 
 camera won't work dependably.

 Bryan,
 
 I am not going to waste my time arguing with you over the issue. I am not 
 entirely disagreeing with you; however, I think you seem to take a pretty 
 dim view of these people and tend to be more supportive of the blind 
 products that cost more. My entire point to this discussion is that this may 
 not be perfect, but it sure as hell is better than what is available, based 
 on cost. I would gladly spend $30 on a product that is in development and 
 may not even quite reach the same level as some of the Blindness products, 
 then spend the $1,000 or more for the Blindness products. Then that is me 
 and of course you do what works best for you.
 So, we can agree to disagree and move on to other topics, this thread has 
 run its course as far as I am concerned.

 Scott, my opinion is based on a product, not my opinion of a person. If it 
 takes $20,000 to plan, develop, test, document, market, and sell a program, 
 I charge $30 for it, and sell 700 copies, I've recovered my costs. Those 
 700 people have already bought the program, so won't be buying it again. If 
 it will cost me $5,000 to upgrade or modify the app, but I'll basically be 
 giving those upgrades away for free, then I'm now $5,000 in the hole. I 
 don't go in to business to lose money.
 
 So, saying that there is no incentive to improve a program after everyone 
 has already bought it means that there is no financial incentive to upgrade 
 a program, and that is a matter of fact. You can argue that all day based 
 on emotional feelings about the matter, but no business will lose large 
 sums of money to please customers that have already bought the product. If 
 they're an individual, their family will complain loudly about the 
 hardship. If they're a private corporation, the bank will have words with 
 them. If they're a public corporation, their stock holders will vote them 
 off the board of directors. It doesn't matter what they say. That's how it 
 is.
 
 Anyway, I'll add my vote for laser scanners support on the phone, not the 
 web site. If I wanted to use the web site, there is UPCDatabase, and many 

Converting text to MP3 with Automator

2010-07-11 Thread Victor Tsaran

Hello all,
From the old Leopard days I remember there was an Automator action that 
allowed one to convert from text to Mp3. I recently attempted to perform 
the same on Snow Leopard but found several problems.
1. Automator was tremendously slow going through the list of available 
actions (with Voiceover saying busy etc).
2. I could not locate anything similar to the text-to-mp3 conversion 
action that I used in Leopard.


Can anyone please share the light on what's going on here? Is Automator 
slow for everyone? Where is the text-to-mp3 functionality?


Thanks,
Victor

double duty for an airport express?

2010-07-11 Thread Mary Otten
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone on the list has tried to do two things with one airport 
express. If you've ever set one up, you know that there is a point in the 
simple set up where it asks you what you want to do, i.e. extend an existing 
network, use it with Itunes/air tunes etc. I forget exactly how the choices are 
worded. I have a couple of these units connected to stereo receivers for 
streaming media from my Mac. I'd really like to use one of them to extend the 
range of the network and still stream music to a stereo. Can that be done? I'm 
thinking of getting an airport extreme router to replace an aging linksis that 
still works but does not support newer protocols. But even if I don't do that, 
I'd really like to have one of these 2 airport expresses do double duty. thanks 
for relating your experiences in this area, if any.

Mary

 You can watch a video 5 times, giving you a total of 10ptz.
 Lets say that you do this with 5 videos a day if that's even possible,
 giving you 50ptz a day, plus 2 for check in.
 This means that if you did this every day, you'd have an iPad in just
 under 3 weeks.
 However. If we say that the video is 2 minutes long, like the one that
 I watched:
 10ptz equates to 10 minutes worth of video watching, * 5 = 50, meaning
 that you'll have to spend 50 minutes watching the same 5 videos a day.
 If we say that you will have to do this for ruffly 20 days, 1000
 (Total amount of minutes you would have to spend watching videos) / 60
 = just over 16 and a half hours.
 The iPad starts at £429 on the apple store, so if we take the more or
 less 16.5 hours that I mension above, this equates to you getting paid
 £26 per hour, which doesn't really sound that bad if you think about
 it.
 This wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a capture that you had to fill
 in, which slows you down a bit.

 Lets just hope I can invite some friends. If anyone wants an invite,
 let me know.

Re: double duty for an airport express?

2010-07-11 Thread Esther

Hi Mary,

You can definitely extend the range of your Airport network and still  
use your Airport Express (in the extended location) to stream music to  
a stereo. Basically, each Airport Express unit can either function as  
a separate wireless router with its own IP address, or as an extension  
of an Airport wireless network.  In the first mode, that unit takes  
command of distributing addresses to components, in the second mode,  
the unit joins an existing network, and uses the address assignment of  
the main router, but relays on information to extend the network.   
Airtunes streaming is a feature that is built into the Airport  
Wireless network, so it will operate whether the range of your network  
is defined by a single Airport Express, Airport Extreme, or other  
Airport base station that acts as the main Airport router, or by one  
of these devices with attached other Airport devices working as relays  
to extend the network.


The best explanation I've read of wireless networking and how these  
Airport devices work is in the Take Control book series. I got the  
earliest version of the book that has now become Take Control of Your  
802.11n AirPort Network when I got my first Mac (dating back to the  
original macvisionaries list at a time when I was still using dial-up  
modem to read the list posts -- the Airport Express was connected to  
my printer, so I could print from my laptop).  They also describe  
options for running mixed networks including older, existing (non- 
Apple) routers.  Current setups are so simple that you probably don't  
need this volume, but if you do need more information, or if you want  
to find out ways to take advantage of new features in the existing  
Airport devices that are not particularly detailed, like running dual- 
band networks, or supporting guest log-ins, this book is a great  
source of information.


I''ll add that I've recently spotted some list posts from Tim Kilburn.  
Tim has historically been a great source of information on these  
topics (on lots of basic Mac topics, actually), and it's wonderful to  
see him back after a fairly lengthy break. Doubtless the combined  
experience of having to work in a school environment and deal with  
students (requiring good pedagogical explanations), and large networks  
of Macs, has all combined to make his posts so good. He has far more  
experience than I do with Airport networks, so maybe he'll weigh in  
with some helpful comments.


Cheers,

Esther

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone on the list has tried to do two things with one  
airport express. If you've ever set one up, you know that there is a  
point in the simple set up where it asks you what you want to do,  
i.e. extend an existing network, use it with Itunes/air tunes etc. I  
forget exactly how the choices are worded. I have a couple of these  
units connected to stereo receivers for streaming media from my Mac.  
I'd really like to use one of them to extend the range of the  
network and still stream music to a stereo. Can that be done? I'm  
thinking of getting an airport extreme router to replace an aging  
linksis that still works but does not support newer protocols. But  
even if I don't do that, I'd really like to have one of these 2  
airport expresses do double duty. thanks for relating your  
experiences in this area, if any.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes

2010-07-11 Thread Doug Lawlor
That's interesting, RFID would be much better for identifying products because 
you would not have to point a device at the product in question to identify it. 
Just get a reader in the general direztion of the of the product and we should 
be able to identify it. As I understand it, the range of RFID is quite large, 
something in the range of 30 feet. How do we determine a product when we have a 
number of products in one area, a covert full of cans and bottles, each 
presenting a signal that has a 30 foot radius?

 Doug,
 
 I do not know how many products have them now, but I suspect more than we 
 know. For example, I recently learned that the recycle bins our county 
 provides us has a RFID chip imbedded in them. Apparently the data collected 
 from the chips let's the county know how often we put the bins out. RFID 
 chips are being used more now because of the speed and ability to collect 
 data on products being shipped and received, etc.

Bluetooth serial port profile on iOS 4.

2010-07-11 Thread Aman Singer
Hi, all.
Recently, in an interesting discussion about bar code reading
solutions for the iPhone, Brian mentioned that bar code scanners use the
Bluetooth serial port profile as, of course, do braille displays. I'm just
wondering if anyone has tried an external GPS receiver on the iPhone. I'm
sure that the iPhone does support the profile, simply because braille
displays use it, but is this support available to other applications? I do
not currently have access to the phone to try it myself.
Thanks.
Aman
