Hi, Ahmed, When you're in your list of messages, press the Option Key and while holding it down, press either the Arrow-Up Key or the Arrow-Down Key, depending on which direction you want to move. You will need to keep the Arrow-Up or Arrow-Down Key pressed for about a second or so.

RE: Home sharing
Hi Julie, What I found confusing when setting up home sharing was that for some reason, when typing in the password box, VO didn't make the accustomed secure text clicking sounds. So, even though there was no feedback indicating that text was being entered, it was in actuality, happening. How long have you been a Mac user now? I think many of us are in the same boat in terms of the learning curve. I've only begun to seriously immerse myself in the environment over the past few months, and am really enjoying it thus far. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of 504a...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 12:21 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Home sharing Hello Nice to meet you too All help would be greatly appreciated.

IPhone not syncing calendars from iTUnes
Folks, I have a problem that perhaps someone has experienced or knowledge in resolving. After a lot of testing and mucking about, I think I can explain the problem pretty accurately. My wife cannot get all of her calendars to sync to her iPhone via iTunes. Here is the situation. In iTUnes, we checked the option to sync iCal calendars and initially we had selected all calendars. However, I she noticed that no events on any of her calendars was appearing on the iPhone, but they were in iCal and on the calendar in Mobile Me. So, I checked all the settings and even made sure her iPhone was syncing with Mobile Me over the air as well, but it seemed that anything in iTUnes overrides what is synced over the air. In any case, I set the option to sync only certain calendars from within iTUnes and what I immediately noticed is that only one calendar called calendar appeared in the table. I checked my calendars from within iTUnes and although I did not see any of the calendars my wife and I share, I did see my local calendars. So, what I suspect is that for some reason iTUnes either has become brain dead and only knows about one calendar called calendar, which appears in iCal and seems to have no data or it is not possible to sync shared calendars using iTunes and most of her stuff is now shared via Mobile Me, but originated on her Mac. This sounds confusing and surely is. However, we live by these calendars and are very frustrated why this is not working. I'm open to any suggestions. I did try dumping the caches I could track down for iTUnes, but this seemed to have no effect.

Re: Home sharing
Home sharing is very easy, nothing to setup really. activate home sharing on your mac where your music library is and if you have another mac or your friend brings their mac around, you will be able to see and stream content from another iTunes library.

Re: Home sharing
It made no of the normal sounds I entered the text on faith and not a single time was it accepted by I tunes. What advantages have you found with home sharing? What exactly does this allow? I am brand new - played with VO on a friend's machine though he does not use VO then last month took the plunge. Thanks - Julie On Aug 1, 2010, at 10:36 AM, Al Puzzuoli alp...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Julie, What I found confusing when setting up home sharing was that for some reason, when typing in the password box, VO didn't make the accustomed secure text clicking sounds. So, even though there was no feedback indicating that text was being entered, it was in actuality, happening. How long have you been a Mac user now? I think many of us are in the same boat in terms of the learning curve. I've only begun to seriously immerse myself in the environment over the past few months, and am really enjoying it thus far. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of 504a...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 12:21 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Home sharing Hello Nice to meet you too All help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: faceBook
To add to that, I now use the main website again, I tend to switch between DOM mode and group mode, depending on what I am doing. VO does not always see everything so you sometimes have to flick around and do some filtering with the item chooser and rota, but it is usable. Mobile site is more accessible, but does not use javascript at all which can be quite annoying when deleting messages etc as the page always has to reload to refresh.

Re: Tornado warning! (get away from windows)
Do you have a mac mini? If so, you will probably need a monitor connected. I am just guessing that could be causing your problems with web sites.

This is disappointing. I really just want one computer. I know I can run windows on a mac, but that would completely defeat the purpose of me buying one. I'm having two major problems 1) I occasionally use kurzweil 1000, and I really wish i could find a suitable replacement for mac that does all the stuff the the K1000 does. 2) My internet experience with safari (as well as other browsers on the Mac) has, upon reflection, been rather poor. I realize that flash doesn't work as well on a mac, and that's ok. My problem is that sites simply don't load very fast. I have other computers in my home that load sites very quickly. Sometimes I will wait 30 seconds only for the safari can't load website message, but when I try again, the page loads. One site in particular (www.rae.es) won't load AT ALL, no matter if I clear the cache, reset safari, or even use other browsers on the mac. This same site loads problem free on my pc using the same connection. When I try to get there on my mac, I just get the search suggestions page from my ISP. accessing this site is indispensable for my education. I'm also having trouble finding high-quality, cheap Spanish voices.

I enable my screen curtain because A: I don't like people being able to look over my shoulder while I'm using my computer, and B: I assume that it saves a bit of battery power. However, I was under the impression that the screen curtain would behave like it does on the IPhone and reactivate whenever I turn on voiceover or my computer. Should this in fact be the case? Or is it normal to have to restart the screen curtain each time you restart voiceover/the computer? Thanks again for all the help. -- 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: word processing and spred sheets on ipad
Well audible have an app, maybe the likes of bookshare will develop a cloud based app which lets you download just like the app store, does pages and numbers work with www.iwork.com? Maybe we'll see some neat syncing / transfer features added to iwork 11 - You just never know with Apple as they play their cards close to their chest. You can bet your bottom dollar they will come up with a very clever and easy solution.

I know that, with apps like Drop Box, you can certainly view and open your files on the remote server for viewing on your iPhone/iPad, but you're really just opening them inside the Drop Box app, using its own built-in viewers. Just like other apps, Drop Box can access files over the Internet, and can even download them in to its private sandbox on the iPhone/iPad, but it can't give other applications on the device access to the files. The flash memory on the iPhone isn't so much of a disk or hard drive, as it is a kind of temporary cache memory. The way the iPhone works, all of the real storage of data and heavy processing is supposed to happen on a server that is reached via the Internet. The flash memory is mainly there so that the iPhone can hold a local temporary copy of data that would be too slow or large to constantly stream from the net connection, like program code, sounds and graphics that make up an app's interface, etc. Apple didn't plan to let anyone make native programs for the iPhone in the beginning, so I guess they thought that this wouldn't matter. Later, when people started to make apps, they held on to this model, because, by preventing programs from accessing each other, they thought that they could prevent people from gaining access to protected content. Now, they want the iPad to be able to be used for desktop-like tasks, but, with all of the app isolation, you must jump through hoops to share data that has been created on the device itself. Apple's design choices are usually centered around making computing tasks simple by removing unnecessary choices in order to streamline a task. You lose flexibility, but the result is that, for most people, the program does what they want, with a minimum amount of fuss, and with little or no tech understanding required. They've done such a great job with the App Store, simplifying the processes of paying for, and installing software, down to the point where a complete tecnophobe could do it. iTunes and the iPod simplify the tasks of organizing and working with a music library. However, I find it very funny that, due to their choices, something as fundamental to a computer as word processing, requires all sorts of explanations regarding how to import/export between native format, how to selectively sync content, and how to put documents in to, and take them out of, iTunes on the Mac. Not that there is anything that could help the situation right now, given how locked down the iOS devices are. Anything that requires that you get data from your own devices, rather than a server somewhere, is profoundly frustrating. Think of the people making the Daisy players for iOS. Most players need only that you copy a book from your computer to a memory card, and put that card in to the player. With iOS devices, it is necessary to explain to people about how they must get both devices on to the same Wi-Fi network, but not just any public wi-fi network, but a private wi-fi network that allows intra-client communication. Then, they need to download, install, and learn to use an FTP client, connecting to the iOS device using a long code (an IP address), that they must listen to on the device and type in to their computer. That isn't too bad for tech types. For most people that buy an iOS device for its simplicity, and have no problem accomplishing most tasks, talking about special wi-fi networks, ftp clients, IP addresses, and other junk is enough to make them say why bother. I'll get a Victor Reader or Book Sense. In these cases, the iOS device is losing out because it is too complicated. While I know that the main motivation for the iOS devices working this way is for security, the conspiracy theorist in me says that this inability to easily use your own content is not such an accident. It makes everyone a lot more money if you must pay to get what you want from the cloud, rather than using what you already have. Of course, techy users can find ways to partially use their content on the new devices, but non-techy users will often decide that it is just too complicated, and that they'd rather be doing other things with their time. Also, some of us wouldn't need to keep and maintain so many huge personal collections, if we could get what we want from the cloud. Bryan
