Re: A growl tip

[Kevin Gibbs]

The weird thing is, I've heard Voiceover say, growler app, but I don't
see anything on the screen with my vision and I've never known what it
related to. I'll see if I can find bad thing in the preference panes
and see if you makes a difference for me.

Re: Reading text in Pages and TextEdit

[Dan Roy]

Well, this is a good suggestion, however I myself have not been able to do 
anything in verbosity that would stop the speaking of blank lines using the 
word newline.  this is a rather trivial thing, but, does get quite annoying.  
This isn't only true in text edit, but, just about any type of document out 
there.  I certainly wish they could fix that for sure!

Re: How do I get rid of Click to Flash?

[Bryan Jones]

Hi Kim,

The removal method will depend on whether you have the clicktoflash plugin or 
the clicktoflash extension installed. Note that you should not use the two 
together. I've had better luck using the extension. Safari should be restarted 
after uninstalling. I did a quick google to find the following uninstall 
instructions.

Instructions to remove the plugin can be found in the "Usage Instructions" 
section of the clicktoflash website here:
http://clicktoflash.com/

Instructions to remove the safari extension can be found here:
http://hoyois.github.com/safariextensions/clicktoflash/

HTH,
bryan

Re: A growl tip

[Chris Norman]

Hiya mate,
Glad you found it useful. I've never before messed about with the
settings, just been on a long list of "things to do, when there's
nothing more interesting to do" LOL. I don't know about any central
repository for information, I'd say the best way for people to
assimilate (for want of a better word) new information, is just to sit
back, and sponge on these lists, because there's some great folks on
here, Rays last post proves that really. I mean, here I am, been using
a Mac for everything for about 4 or 5 years now, and I'm still
learning new stuff, like that voiceover command f10 thing that someone
posted in (can't remember who). A "Newbie's guide to the mac", would
be a fundamentally bad idea in my opinion, because the sheer bulk of
information, is more likely to scare the living shit out of new users,
rather than enlighten them, whereas, if they just sit back, and listen
and learn, they're going to be drip-fed new info, which means they're
more likely to take it in (little and often and all that), as well as
not be overwealmed by all the new tech stuff.

HTH, and sorry for the ramble LOL.

Re: A growl tip

[Chris Norman]

Yeah, well, to be honest LOL, I didn't even know there was a speech
setting until you just said. But, as it happens, not sure if it's just
my machines or what, but speech, if there's VoiceOver running too,
gets swallowed up, and I could do with knowing about things like
DropBox ETC, but good point, as the third message in this thread
proves, we should be pumping any information to the list we can,
there's bound to be someone who'll use it.

Cheers, and glad you're now a very happy mac user LOL, not noticed
your tag before! :-D

Have fun all,

Re: Webkit and Safari Troubles. Click to Flash dialog coming up every time I open Safari or Webkit. HELP!!!

[Zachary Kline]

Hi Kim,
I would suggest that since Click to Flash seems to be misbehaving particularly, 
you start by removing that and work your way from there.  I believe the graying 
out of items implies some kind of dialog box is open, so I'd also investigate 
whatever that might be.  Take it slowly and isolate the problem.  I dare say 
something is corrupted somewhere, possibly related to your installed plugins.  
I must qualify all this by saying that I've never used Click to Flash myself, 
and so don't know anything about it specifically.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Webkit and Safari Troubles. Click to Flash dialog coming up every time I open Safari or Webkit. HELP!!!

Hi folks:

Webkit and Safari seem to have gone bonkers on me.  Every time I open either 
one, I get a dialog that pops up with click to flash release notes, etc., which 
I have to click the OK button to get out of.  I then am put on an HTML page 
with what looks like preference choices for click to flash or something.  I 
close this with command W, and am put on my home screen in either Webkit and 
Safari.

Fortunately, I have IE running under windows under Fusion, or I would really be 
having a fit.  Webkit seems to have been getting increasingly irritating over 
the past few weeks, and I have found myself using IE more and more.  This is 
not the direction I had intended to go with my Apple products, but I have no 
choice for now.  

Anybody have any suggestions?  I even got rid of Webkit and redownloaded the 
latest build, just to have the same thing pop up as soon as I opened it.  

Any assistance is appreciated in advance.  

Thanks,

Kim

Re: Writing to an FTP server via the finder

[Jürgen Fleger]

I used Cyberduck for a while. It works fine but the status information of up- 
and downloads are not accessible for VO. That's why I switched to Transmit. But 
it's true it's not for free.

Re: help with signatures, please

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Hi.

If You wish to set up a signature, press command comma to get to the 
preferences.  There is a control button on the extreme left.  Interact and VO 
right until you here signatures.  Press VO space to select.  Stop interacting.  
Then VO right until you come to a table.  The first column is where you fill in 
your name such as mine.  Then VO right again and the next column is where you 
fill in the text of the signature such as your name, MSN and Skype and whatever 
else.  VO left again until you get to another table.  Interact and vo or arrow 
down until you here the name of your e-mail account above that you will have 
all signatures.  Choose your e-mail.  Then VO right and pass your name and the 
text you filled in.  Then if you want your signature to appear at the top 
before your message, check the box where it says put signature before the 
quoted text.  Make sure there is nothing after and close the window by pressing 
vo W and you are done.

If I've missed anything at all, please correct me someone as I've never given 
comprehensive help before.

Kawal.

Re: word documents on mac's?

[Esther]

Hi Ashley and Others,

Earlier this year Yuma asked whether there was an easier way to save to Word 
document format from Pages without having to use the export feature in Pages 
each time. I ran a Google search for an AppleScript to batch export from 
Pages09 to Word format and posted where to find this. I'll paste in the 
instructions I found from the MacScripter site and posted in response to this 
question:

(From Yvan Koenig):

Go to my iDisk :



Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:for_Pages09:batch_exportPages2DOC.zip

Yvan KOENIG (VALLAURIS, France) 


You can set up a keyboard shortcut to this AppleScript so you can select your Pages output files in Finder 
and apply the shortcut to convert them to Word format.  I've checked and the files are still available at the 
author's public idisk location given above.  (The colons separate directories -- the batch_exportPages2DOC 
script in zip format is in a folder named "for_Pages09" that is a subdirectory of "iWork 
'09", that is in turn in a folder named "For_iWork".)  Instructions are supplied in both 
English and French

Incidentally, the Mail Archive pages for this list are extremely useful sources 
to search for answers to previously discussed questions.  I recovered the above 
information by going to:
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/ 
And typing into the search text box: "from:Esther Yuma Word" (without the quotation marks) to find 
a post that I had authored that included the words "Yuma" and "Word", and immediately 
pulled up the link to the post:
"AppleScript to batch export from Pages to Word [Re: :pages export annoyance]"
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg38559.html

Searches can use wild cards, Boolean arguments, be made by author, subject, or 
date range, and results can also be optionally sorted by time (instead of 
relevance).  You can also read up and down old threads with access key 
shortcuts (on a Mac, this would be Control-n to read the next post in a thread 
and Control-p to read a previous post, but these shortcuts also work for other 
browsers if you substitute the appropirate access key (e.g., in Internet 
Explorer on Windows you would use Alt-n and Alt-p instead.)  For more 
information, check the Mail Archive FAQ on searching:
http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#accesskeys

HTH. Cheers,

Esther

To be perfectly honest, i dont' use pages that often. In pages, if you want to save a file as a word file, you have to go through the process of exporting it, which doesnt' take that long it's just a little annoying. It would be nice if pages could just save in a word format.

Re: Tips for importing audiobooks?

[Simon Cavendish]

Hello,

I have purchased a small application called audiobook builder which I think is 
verry helpful I can import multiple CDs into it, and it will join all the 
tracks into one and convert it into either mp3 or AAC bookmarkable format and 
you can choose to have it sent into iTunes where Audiobook Builder will create 
its own playlist wehre you will find the books you convert. You can then 
transfer the playlist manually onto your iPod. Audiobook Builder has its own 
simple but comprehensive help menu where you can learn more about its functions.

Hope this helps a little.

Re: Reading text in Pages and TextEdit

[Simon Cavendish]

I would have a detailed look within the Voiceover utility under the verbosity 
section where you choose the level to which Voiceover helps you by announcing 
certain things. You can choose the level low, medium and high but you can also 
customise each level in greater details. There is a table there with which you 
could interact, and check or uncheck or choose various things. Do have a look. 
I can't do it now myself but it is just a quick suggestion in case you are in a 
hurry.

Hope this helps.

Tips for importing audiobooks?

Hi All,
I have a couple audiobooks for one of my courses which are on multiple CDs.  I

Are there any tips for optimal handling I should know about?  The topic has

of exporting it, which doesnt' take that long it's just a little 
annoying. It would be nice if pages could just save in a word format.

Re: word documents on mac's?

[Ashley Cox]

I've managed to use docx files in text edit. The formatting can get a 
bit lost sometimes, but other than that it works quite well.

Re: word documents on mac's?

[Chris Moore]

If you are only requiring to read the document, you can just hit the space bar 
and it will open in preview.  VoiceOver will then read this document to you.  
TextEdit lets you edit RTF Word Documents.  For Office 2007 and 2010 docx files 
you will need Pages.  A new OS is due in the summer, who knows maybe this OS 
will offer even more built in support.

I think Bean the open source free Word Processor also supports MS Word, and

Re: Aha! I know what it is!

Hi there!
Yes indeed fn+f1 or f2 does do the brightness!
Also the command [vo+command+f10 ] turns the caption panel on or off!
And for anyone who might be interested vo+command+f9 turns the braille panel on 
or off!

Re: Chatty Voiceover with Security Setting

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

This is the computer starting to go to sleep.  

Some possibilities 

1: extend the sleep timer 
2. move the mouse around a bit while reading a long document.
3. turn off the sleep timer and go to Utilities / Keychain access.

In Keychain access there is a preference option to add a keychain menu item. 
With this enabled you can lock your key chains and screen  from a menu near

I would like to mention that this is one of those cases the I must have

however if someone has compiled nuggets that could be posted for newbees and 
thick folks such as myself I would appreciate this.  Additionally if there is a 
compiled list of outdated techniques and piths that have been dispelled, they 
may be helpful for people.  Again thank you for this message.

Re: Voiceover Caption and copying to clipboard

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

VO-shift-C does not use apple script.  I am fairly confident of this as it has 
always been available in VoiceOver.

Also even if it did use the Voce Over scripting functions the visibility of a 
specific panel would not effect what the script could access.

A growl tip

[Chris Norman]

Hiya all,
I imagine that most people have already figured this out, but I found something 
cool this morning regarding growl.

If you go to system preferences, to the growl preference pain, and "Display 
preferences", third tab, set the default notification type to anything except 
smoke, and notifications become automagically accessible. I'm using Notify OS 
X, but you could probably use anything.

HTH,.

Take care,

Chris Norman

Routing the voiceover sound to DJays pre-cuing channels using Soundflower, how?

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi there,
I want to be able to use DJay 3 software with a Vestax spinn that i have to do 
some mixing and stuff. I don't want voiceover to go out in the main mix but i 
still want to have control of what i do and so i want voiceover sound to go to 
say the cuing channels of DJay, how would i go about doing that? Is this at all 
doable without buying extra equipment and if so how?And once again, how do i 
use sound flower?

Re: word documents on mac's?

[Ashley Cox]

Hi,
Text edit (comes witht eh mac), pages, open office, and pretty much any

for school and use word files constantly.

Re: Writing to an FTP server via the finder

[Rose Morales]

Transmit is cool, but it costs $30 or so? I forget the exact price. Anyway, 
Cyberduck is easy to use, accessible, and free. I suggest you try that for your 
FTP needs.
Hth,
Rose

word documents on mac's?

Well, I've got an awful lot of documents in word format, and it would be
very time consuming to convert them from word to pages.  So is there a app
that will allow me to read word documents with voice over, or do I have to
bite the bullet and just run windows on my mac?

Re: Writing to an FTP server via the finder

[Jürgen Fleger]

Hi Ricardo,

you can't use Finder as an ftp client. Try Transmit. For me that's the most 
accessible ftp client I know on the Mac.

I'm afraid that's not possible. I also tried to find a solution for that issue 
but couldn't find one.

I didn't experienced that yet.
