bluetooth connections
Hi guys, I have a braillino and I use it's bluetooth connection with the Mac mini! It seems to work for a week with me shutting down and turning on again for a week. then it seems to lose the connection the next time I turn on. this is frustrating to me because I need assistance to turn this on again due to a hearing problem. I am thinking of using a wired connection. Have any of you had this experience? I have the new Mac mini. the june 15th 2010 addition. Thanks!

Launch bar accesability request, can you guys help out
I would like to request that all board members sent the following message to the posted email to request greater accessibility to the launch bar application. This application lets you open WebPages, application, recently worked on documents from application such as Text edit, or works and the like, select and paste from a history of clipboard items, play a iTunes album or song without having to open iTunes, and index folders of your choice so that you can search those folders fast. This is like a spotlight search, but to the second power. It makes using your Mac way better. If you have or have used, the feature of jaws, where you press, Insert spacebar, then the R key, then type in search term to search on a dictionary, or Wikipedia, then you will like this program. This program lets you search your dictionary application, Google search, and the Wikipedia site, among other sites, through one window. This makes using your Mac way efficient. The application runs for 35 dollars. It might sound expensive, but it is well worth it. Seems like everyone here knows how to use their mac here, to this will only enhance their Mac experience so that they have more time for other things, like playing with your child, being with your family, etc. I am not affiliated with the developer of this program; I just want it to be more accessible. I have sent the below message to them. However, since more attention will be given to this problem if more people point out the flaws of this program with voice over, we can get accessibility faster. I would greatly appreciated if you sent the following message to the below email. This email is there support email. If you have questions of how to use the program, just let me know, although it is limited right now, I am able to use it. Alfredo Email the following to: launch...@obdev.at Topic: Question / Technical Problem Product Version: 5.2 Operating System: 10.6 CPU: Intel I am an apple voice over user and have a few questions and concerns regarding your launch bar application. I am one of the thousands of blind users that have switched to the Mac from windows, and learned from your application from the Mac power user podcasts, and decided that if my apple experience was to be productive then I had to get launch bar. I was not sure if the program was going to be accessible, but I tried it, and have count a few bumps on the way. At the first the program was totally inaccessible, the only 2 items that voice over recognized on the dash board window, where , the “checkbox” (which was a checkbox, and “button”, which was a button that if I pressed gave me menu options such as preferences, quit, etc. I then started messing around the preferences window of launch bar and, checked the box, “speak selected item” checkbox in the general area of the launch bar preferences. This enabled me to hear all he search results that I was getting when blindly typing into the launch bar search field. After this I found out that if I pressed the launch bar hotkey, which I configured to control-space, and launch bar was already running, I would be in in the launch bar window, then, although Voice over was unable to “see”, what I was trying on the search edit field, I was able to use it since I would get results when typing in websites, like, google.com, or, text, and then selecting the text edit application, then pressing space bar to see the list of previously open documents. Then I manage to look at my clipboard list. My concerns are the following: 1. I use voice over at a faster speech rate, than the speed at which you have your default when you checkbox the “speak selected item” option of the general preferences of the launch bar preferences. Because of this, it takes longer, thus it is less efficient, for me to use launch bar. If the speech rate is slow, a keystroke pressed, such as tab to move between the search results, takes longer. It would be a great option to either have the launch bar voice speed, be the same as the Voice over speech speed configured by the user account that is using the launch bar application. Alternatively, you can have a slider in the general preferences of launch bar, preferably after, the checkbox, “speak selected item”, checkbox that would increase the speech rate speed of launch bar. This is a deal breaker for me, meaning that if this feature cannot be implementing, then I cannot use launch bar to its full potential and would have to look elsewhere for alternatives to such a great program. 2.

My trackpad is possessed
So. Last weekend, I updated to 10.6.4. Ever since then, my trackpad will randomly turn on and start moving around the screen rapidly, ignoring anything I try to do. I go into VO utility, disable it, and the process repeats itself again a few minutes later. I can't usually recreate this problem, which is the most frustrating thing. Sometimes just holding down the VO keys seems to bring on the curse. I tried to repair permissions, with no success. I am now off to go mourn the fact I have ben lazy and not configured my time machine and don't have an earlier back up to return to.

Maybe he thought you were syncing and managing yoru music manually. if so you would need to copy and past the playlist but I would not know how to do that.

On the next page find the Choose a Format popup and select MP3 then VO right to the Convert button. After that you have to wait while they download and convert the file. After that you should find a Click here to download YouTube- 'Star Wars (John Williams Is The Man)' medley - Corey Vidal and Moosebutter - a cappella tribute or whatever video you did link. Clicking that should drop an mp3 on your desktop. CB Nicolai Svendsen wrote: Hi, Well, there is something called Tooble which will allow you to download YouTube videos. Unfortunately, when you preview the application seems prone to crashing quite frequently, and the developer is not responding or fixing this issue even though it is being continuously updated. Also, the button called Audio only does not only make it into audio, but still downloads the video as well as makes an audio file. THis applies to either button, whether it is Download or Audio only. Unfortunately, for some weird reason, it uses .wav format but, if you can deal with that, you can just convert. To download, however, you will need to purchase Tooble Pro which is $5 I believe. That is the only one I was able to find, and I'm actually pretty happy with it as it allows you to download videos, search, and brows your subscriptions on your YouTube account. Despite its shortcomings, it works nicely when it wants to.

Re: Selecting multiple tracks in the songs list of ITunes
Hi Frank, The only way I know how to do this is to interact with the songs table by pressing VO shift down arrow. Then you can select tracks by pressing shift down arrow. You can select nonconsecutive tracks by pressing command C on each track you wish to select. If you are selecting consecutive tracks, you can press command C to copy them to the clipboard. I hope that helps. Have a great day! Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!
