Re: can't send drop box to trash
Hi Justin. I did try that; I entered my system password and it still came back as wrong. GR! On Jan 14, 2011, at 10:56 PM, Justin Ekis wrote: Hi, To me, A prompt to enter your name and password to allow changes sounds more like a system dialog asking for the password to your account on your mac, rather than your dropbox password. It asks for your system password the first time you run it so that it can intigrate with the finder. After you enter it, this dialog won't come up anymore. As for stopping it from running, I had to do this once in order to install a new version of dropbox. There is a dropbox icon in the status menus that you have to select in order to exit the program. Voiceover can't see status menu icons for third party applications, so I had to have sighted assistance to do this. Someone posted a hint a while back though about how you can find this icon yourself. I seem to have lost my bookmark for the list archives at the moment. I must have deleted the wrong bookmark. Sorry I couldn't be any more help, but getting past this password dialog might be enough to solve your problem. On Jan 14, 2011, at 10:34 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: Hi all. Drop box seems to be precluding me from installing the firmware update for my newly acquired jambox. Each time I boot up, drop box comes up and says to enter my name and password to allow changes. I do this and get a message telling me that I have entered the wrong user name or passwod, yet when I go to dropbox.com and enter that very self same info, I am logged on to my account. So my nedxt step was, I thought, to uninstall dropbox. I went to the apps folder and located drop box and did command delete only to get a message telling me that drop box can't be sent to the trash because it is open. Of course, I don't see it anywhere. I cycled through open apps with command tab and open windows with command accent; drop box does not appear anywhere. How do I close this darned thing so that I can uninstall it temporarily? I also navigated to it in the apps folder and did a vo shift m, and then a vo m as well and still nothing; both these actions brought up the menu bar for finder. If I do a command o on drop box from the apps folder, nothing happens. I am beginning to regret the day I ever installed drop box. I'm not asking for opinions about the app, just asking for help right now to uninstall it. So I guess the question is, how do you uninstall an app you can't see is running? Thanks for the help.

Braille Display and Radio Streams
Hello Everyone, I am new to using a Braille Display on my MacBook Pro. I managed to set up Bluetooth, but it keeps on disconnecting. What can I do to fix this problem? Also, how exactly do I navigate around the menus on my Mac and such when using my BrailleNote as the display? I am also wondering whether any of you know of a program that is accessible with the Mac that allows me to record radio streams. What else is out there, beside Amadeus? Thanks for all your help. Ezzy Bueno I sought the Lord, and he answered me. --Ps. 34:4 Sent from my BrailleNote Apex Phone: (512) 553-8553 Skype: SillyEz Facebook: www.facebook.com/sillyezzie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: can't send drop box to trash
Wow, once again I've been helped and have learned from this list. Now, if only I could figure out why suddenly my book port plus won't see my only sd card, but that's another list to which I am not subscribed. Seriously, all your good instructions have allowed me to do what I wanted and now I will see if I can update my jambox, but since my book port won't, as of the last hour, see my card I guess it almost is a moot point! No no, please don't post here about my book port issue, but yes yes if you have any ideas what I could do, send them my way off list. I'm on the east coast and will go stir crazy flying home on Tuesday without a book to read! My email is 1guide...@gmail.com Yes yes, I do feel a little sneaky about this post, :) Thanks though for teaching me about the utility folder and the activity monitor. Very cool!

txt to rtf-converter on the mac for multiple files
Hello all, I am looking for a (free) program to convert multiple txt-files to rtf. If possible, the program should be able to do the conversion recursively. Also, it would be nice if other office-document-types like pdf,doc(x) can be converted by that tool. The reason is that rtf-files or much more easy to read on the iphone in viewers like dropbox/filer. I have about 1300 txt files that I would like to convert in a global folderstructure. So, because of the amount of files, I don't want to do this manually. All hints are very welcome. best regards, William -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

RE: basic financial software
Hello everyone. Does See Finance have an IPhone version that synchronizes with the Desk Top version? That is an essential requirement for our family. Does it have a companion tip calculator that posts money to See Finance? By the way, there's another app called ibank in the new Apple store and it has an IPhone version. I don't know how accessible it is. We use Pocket Money from Catamount software and do all of our financial work on our IPhones. Scott, can you pass along the link for See Finance?

I'm really interested in how you do this though. I'm very new to Garageband, seeing as I only got a Mac two weeks ago and started playing with Garageband yesterday.

Re: can't send drop box to trash
Hi Mark. Though I solved my problem, I just wanted to share for the sake of thoroughness that I actually did try that but drop box was not on my dock. I can't remember right now who it was, but the suggestion I received (maybe from Justin) that the password it all wanted was my system password turned out to be the ticket in the end. I had miss remembered my actual system password and once I realized that, I reinstalled drop box and it is all working well. But, I just wanted you and others to know that I did in fact try looking on the dock before I posted.

Re: basic financial software
Hello Paul, I'm not Scott, but here's the requested link for See Finance. http://scimonocesoftware.com/seefinance/ On Jan 15, 2011, at 6:33 AM, Paul Hunt wrote: Hello everyone.

Re: they're at it again but with new twist
See that is the only way they can get a virus on a mac. Because you have to say yes for it to install on the mac. Not like with windows where it is automatically installs. Only if you have virus protection on your mac will it tell you if you have a bug. That is why I like this mac so much. I don't have to run a lot in the background.

Re: very strange behavior of keyboard and trackpad
Not a good deal there. You may have a few keys sticking here and there. I do know that if any liquid goes on the keys without a keyboard protector. There is a skin under the keyboard that will turn pink. That shows Apple repair that liquid got where not should be. They do have some good tuts on youtube showing how to replace the keyboard on the mac pro. It is not hard at all to do. But if still under mac care. They may do it with not too much issues.

Re: pages export annoyance
Hello Chris, Yes, Pages can create MS Word documents. Yuma was complaining that you can't set Pages to save as MS Word by default as you work on a document, you have to export to Word when you're done. You always end up with a Pages document and a new document in the format to which you've exported it. If you use an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, it's worth having Pages for creating ePub documents to read with iBooks.

What could make an internal hard drive suddenly decide to die?
Hi folks. I have had this problem a little while now, but i haven't done anything about it as of yet, however it makes me curious. I was listening to some good music in ITunes when all of a sudden the music died, it turned out that something had caused the internal hard drive to just die, the motor had stopped and i don't know of a way of getting it back to life again short of rebooting. What could cause the hard drive to do this? This happens when i use ITunes or µTorrent to get files. Can you strain a hard drive too much? It's not a question of energy saving either since i have the hard drives set to not shut down at all. I'm at a loss as what to do here and i don't want to take the machine to an Apple store since i don't have an AppleCare plan for it.

Re: Antivirus Software: Needed or not?
I don't use one now nor do I need one now either. When I do need one, Apple will have installed it on my computer through software update. Apple will also update it as necessary too. This will all happen since Apple has a high interest in keeping its own computer resources malware free as well as any software it distributes and the app store too. Nobody yet in Southern Maryland Mac User's group has any of these packages either for the same reasons.

Re: Antivirus Software: Needed or not?
The people that really do need antivirus protection are most of the population of cell phone users who use feature phones. Cell phones are either feature phones or smart phones. The IPhone is a smart phone. There are five sms messages that can be sent at those feature phones to take most phones off the air around the world. There are problems with smart phones too but those are different problems and the network providers will have to address these issues later. The feature phones like everything on Verizon are wide open right now and will remain so until verizon and similar networks clean up their acts.On Sat, 15 Jan 2011, Brianna Snyder wrote: Hi, I was just wondering exactly what the subject says.

Re: What could make an internal hard drive suddenly decide to die?
What an interesting problem! First of all, I'd make sure that you have a complete backup of everything just incase. It seems like the drive is malfunctioning on both reads and writes, but it's not like using torrents or opening music in itunes is putting a large amount of strain on the drive, surely booting would stress the thing more? Are you sure that the drive is actually spinning down? How functional is the rest of the os? Would it be possible to put the drive in a usb enclosure, boot to osx, use it for a couple of days like that and see how well things work?

Re: pages export annoyance
If you want a default format to save too, and you are not happy that the default format for pages is pages, then why not use Word? Microsoft Word is the only word processor that has a default .doc type. If you were to use any other word processor you would have to either save as or export. If it bothers you that much, then I suggest you switch to Windows and use Office, or badger Microsoft into making their products accessible for the Mac.

Re: What could make an internal hard drive suddenly decide to die?
its not the Hard Disk, per se'. its a driver issue where the drive controller is instructed to park and shut down. the only way I have found to resolve it is a full reboot by a not so friendly unplug and then power on and boot. this forces the on board controller to reset back into proper operation. note: a soft boot won't work as the controller state will be maintained across the warm reboot. -Eric On Jan 15, 2011, at 10:09 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: Hi folks.

Re: Braille Display and Radio Streams
I am sure you can get a longer cable, which may at least address the issue for now. I would suggest you let Apple know by sending a note to accessibil...@apple.com and let them know the type of Braille display and if you can provide the firmware version, that would be possibly helpful. Let them know which version of SNow Leopard you are using and the fact your connecting via Bluetooth. If you can test via USB that would be good info if you experience no issues as well.

Re: Antivirus Software: Needed or not?
Personally I do not use it. While no operating system is immune to getting viruses, it is more difficult for the mac to become infected, because the browser is not tied to the operating system the way internet explorer is in windows.

Re: =What the Verizon phone means for Apple
Hi, Well, as a Verizon customer who has been awaiting the iPhone, I'm very much looking forward to getting it next month. My understanding is that the unlimited data plan for $30 will continue to be available, and that's perfectly fine with me. Our daughter and son-in-law live in New York City and have had iPhones, and often when we talk with them, reception is lost. No company is perfect, but in the many years I've been with Verizon, I've had nothing but excellent and courteous customer service. I also have more confidence in the stability of their network than would I have for ATT, so I'll have no [problem taking out a new two year agreement for my wife and myself to get these phones. Les On Jan 11, 2011, at 8:54 AM, Scott Howell wrote: Carolyn, The short version is that carriers want to charge on a tiered system. My advice to you and all is do a little research on this topic and get familiar with it. There may be a time when you will want to make your voice heard. I think it is save to say that you do not want to be charged based on the content you access for example. I am no expert, so I will leave you to your own thoughts with this.

Thanks Carolyn H On Jan 11, 2011, at 3:56 AM, Scott Howell wrote: James, I am not loyal to any company, which I feel has to be stated up front because of what I'm going to say next. I have been with ATT for nearly two years and to be honest I have not had any problems with their customer service. Only once did they make an error, which was something to do with the system and a change I made. They corrected the problem quickly and offered me compensation. Now I have had little reason to call customer service in any case with either company. I will point out though Verizon made life very difficult for me when I opted to switch to ATT and tried charging me early termination fees even though my contract had ended. It took me a couple of months to get the issue resolved. So, a lot of this in my opinion is expectation about service and of course everyone will have different experiences and of course different experience with the service as a result of where they live. I have a Verizon cell phone for work and I get better coverage in my house with ATT then I do with Verizon, as an example. THe point is none of these companies are more interested in making as much money as possible. What will be interesting is if Verizon can live up to the hype. What I hope as a result of this is more competition in plans. For example, Verizon apparently is going to offer unlimited data to new iPhone customers and I wonder how long this will last. I would hope it would push ATT back to offering the same to current and new customers. Now I do have an unlimited data plan, but I always felt it was unfair to introduce such crappy plans at 200Mb and 2Gb for those price points. Another thing that will be very interesting is what net neutrality will do to the cell industry and that is something brewing in the pipeline.

I hope the IPhone does well on Verizon and that Verizon makes more of an atempt to be customer oriented than ATT ever has.

Since the sports games, except Notre Dame aren't in the online package, because xm doesn't have the internet rights to them, you can't get them via pulsar. It'd sure be great if you could, because the pulsar application is cool, and it is free if you already have some other applications from rogue amoeba software.

using vo j in apple mail
Hi guys. I am helping a good friend, who has just joined this list, to set up his Mac. Yes, believe it or not, I am trying to help, :) Can somebody please remind me how I set up mail so that vo j jumped me from the text of a message to the inbox list and vice versa? I think this is easier and nicer for him than pressing enter and hearing all that goofy stuff, but I have forgotten what I did to accomplish this.

Re: What could make an internal hard drive suddenly decide to die?
When ever I've scene logic board failiers on drives it's usually been no power at all, but hey, who knows. The reason I suggested using usb was so that we could rule out the motherboard and so that if the os was for some very strange reason sending ata commands to power the drive down it wouldn't be able to since you can't do that over usb. At any rate, storage is really cheap these days, so if you don't mind playing with internals, you could just put a new drive in there and see what happens. Chances are it'll be a 5400RPM drive in there atm, so you will see a performance boost if you go up to a 7200.

Re: using vo j in apple mail
Hi Marlaina, Like Zack, I thought that the default mail setup had the Preview pane displayed, and would automatically jump you to the text of the message when you used VO-J from your selection in the table of messages in Mail's Message Viewer window. However, if VO-J isn't working by default, you'll need to set the Preview pane to be displayed. This is not a mail preferences setting: instead, you need to navigate to the horizontal splitter at the bottom of the messages table, route your mouse cursor there, and double click with a physical mouse or trackpad. So if you're starting from a selected message in the table list for your Inbox, take the following steps: 1. Stop interacting with messages in the Messages Table (VO-Shift-Up arrow). (If you weren't interacting with the table, just take the next step and VO-Down arrow past the Messages Table to the Horizontal Splitter.) 2. VO-Down arrow (VoiceOver should say Horizontal Splitter) 3. Route your Mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor (VO-Command-F5) to position your cursor on the splitter. 4. Double click with your trackpad or mouse on the horizontal splitter. (In Snow Leopard you must do this by clicking your trackpad or mouse keys -- in Leopard you could do the double click with VO-Shift-Space by holding down the Control, Option, and Shift keys and tapping the space bar twice.) Now, if you VO-Up arrow and hear Messages Table, your subsequent VO-Down arrow will announce Horizontal Splitter and then Message Content. This last area is where the text of your selected message appears -- i.e. the Preview Pane -- and wasn't present before you double clicked on the horizontal splitter. VO-J should now work to jump between the selected message in the messages table and the text of the message. HTH.

Time Machine troubles
Hi all, I hope everyone is having a happy and healthy New Year. I have been having trouble with TIme Machine. I tried today to do a backup, and it keeps saying that there is a disc error. Ejecting and reinserting the disc seemed to fix that, but it's been backing up for hours and I can't find anything in the Time Machine preferences that would suggest why this is going on. I have never had this trouble with time Machine before. It's always been fairly quick in backing up my Mac. I have been trying since this morning and all it keeps saying is backup in progress. Any suggestions? Thank you for any assistance would be grately appreciated.

Re: using vo j in apple mail
Hi Matthew, I believe you have a Mac Mini? Under Snow Leopard, I don't know whether you can toggle the Preview pane without a mouse to double click on the horizontal splitter in the Mail window. I suspect the answer is no, unless you get Apple's Magic Trackpad to use in place of a mouse. Under Leopard, turning on Numpad commander and using the numeric keypad to perform a click had the same status as a hardware click by pressing a trackpad or physical mouse button, and would work even in situations where performing a software click with VO-Shift-Space would not work. But in Leopard, I could also toggle the Preview pane on or off by double clicking with VO-Shift-Space. I just checked that under Snow Leopard, I apparently can't use the Numpad Commander key action to click the mouse -- it works in situations where clicking with VO-Shift-Space will work, but not in the present instance where I have to click with a trackpad. I went into VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8), pressed c to go to the Commanders menu, and then went to the Trackpad menu (VO-RIght arrow and VO-Space on Trackpad). I checked the box to Enable Numpad Commander (VO-Space), and then navigated (VO-Right arrow) to the table of Numpad Commander key assignments and interacted. Since the 3 key was unassigned, I used VO-Space in the column for the command, arrowed down to General, then arrowed right to the sub-menu (you can also press VO-Space to navigate to the sub-menu), and selected Click Mouse for the key assignment by pressing c l (you can also arrow down the selections). However, when I tried to use the 3 key to double-click on the horizontal splitter, I heard the same clicking sound that I hear when I use VO-Shift-Space to double-click, but the splitter didn't drop. I should mention that I didn't use my USB numeric keypad for this experiment, so it's possible that if you use the numeric keypad on a full-size keyboard it may make a difference, but I doubt it. I tried double-clicking by holding down the left arrow key and double-tapping the 3 key in the number row of my laptop. (I don't know whether you remember this, but there was a fascinating post in the archive some months ago that you can get the Numpad Commander key actions by pressing one of the arrow keys along with the number key in the top row in lieu of pressing the same key on a numeric keypad if Numpad Commander is turned on in VoiceOver utility.) I also tried using my iPod Touch on the same wireless network with Edovia's NumPad -- Wireless Numeric Keypad app to generate the Numpad commands. (Don't laugh, this works, and is why I didn't bother to dig out my USB numeric keypad.) The other numpad assigned commands worked, and the Click Mouse assignment works in other environments (where VO-Shift-Space works), but not for dropping the horizontal splitter. Incidentally, I also tried interacting with the splitter and moving it down with VO-Down arrow, but I couldn't get it to drop down all the way this way. Only a double click can completely close out the message content window. There might be some way to read the plist file for mail through a property list editor, and configure hidden options, or assign them through a command line action in Terminal, but I wouldn't know how to do this. If you're interested in applying the iOS 4 type gestures of the iPhone and other such devices to your Mac, you could get Apple's Magic Trackpad and try using it with your Mac Mini. (I assume you're using Snow Leopard, or I think you would be able to use VO-Shift-Space to double click on the horizontal splitter.) Sorry not to have another solution. HTH.

Is it still possible to togle the preview pain? Thanks. Matthew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
