Re: Keyboard And Language Change After Setup.
Hello Georges, To change the language and keyboard, go into System Preferences and select the Language and Text pane. To change the language, select the first tab, Language then use the Option key and up arrow to move your chosen language to the top of the table. To change your keyboard layout, select the Input Sources tab and check the keyboard layout you want in the table. You can check several keyboard layouts and have them shown in the Status menu so that you can change layout easily. Cheers, Anne On 4 Jun 2011, at 01:05, Georges Zaynoun wrote: Hi!

Re: controlling volume on flash videos?
Hi, as far as I'm aware, controling flash is completely inaccessible. Voice-Over just ignores Flash as if it's not there. I wasn't aware of this when I first got a Mac (just a week ago) so emailed Apple Accessibility for more information. Below is there response: Hello, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately there is an issue with the Flash component that makes it inaccessible to most screen readers without the implementation of custom overlays. Apple has reported this issue to Adobe over the years and they have announced plans to fix it, you can see their blog post in the link below: http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2010/03/flash_player_and_flex_support.html We would encourage the you to contact Adobe and request that they implement the changes that will make Flash content accessible. Perhaps everyone will be moving to HTML5 anyway and solve all our problems. On 04/06/2011, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Eric.

Re: controlling volume on flash videos?
I am also having a similar problem with accessing the volume control in Napster, which is set quite low by default. I think I'm going to have to learn to become proactive and email companies about these kinds of issues as soon as I notice them. I suppose it's obvious but if more people voiced their thoughts then things may improve more rapidly. Supply and demand.

For instance insert character 12, form feed. 2, I need to be able to search for special characters like 12 form feed, 10 linefeed, 13 carriage return, or any character of my choice beyond these. 3, When I come across unfamiliar characters in text, I want to be able to identify that character's ascii ansi or unicode number. I'm using Text Edit. Can I do all this with Text Edit? Will I need some other editor? Hope this is clear.

Maybe a weird question about Terminal
Seeing that OSX basically at the end of the day under the hood is! believe it or not, a form of Unix, and seeing that it is possible to get to a terminal shell through the Utilities folder in the finder, could one actually run Unix/Linux based CLI apps that don't require a graffic interface? For example, there is a really nice command line only Linux based Pandora player called pianobar. It works absolutely flawlessly! Also could one install apt then do things on a mac like apt-get install or aptitude install packagename? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but... yeah, I know I could run Linux in a VM machine, or could probably in theory even do it with bootcamp, but I really would rather not, as there's really only like 3 or 4 things from Linux that I'd like to port over.

Re: Maybe a weird question about Terminal
Hi Chris, Indeed, you can install Pianobar and run it quite happily. There are ways to make installing most common Unix software almost like apt-get, though the latter itself hasn't been ported over I don't think. Consider sites like www.macports.org, which maintains an up-to-date copy of pianobar among many other packages, installed via a 'ports' command. Hope this helps, Zack.

Re: braille display Assistance requested
Hello Carolyn, What a coincidence! I got my Braillino yesterday. There is nothing to install on the Mac. The Braillino only works with BlueTooth on the Mac as it has no USB connector, just a serial port. To pair your Braillino, you have to go into the BlueTooth pane of System Preferences, and follow the instructions to pair it there. You should have a 5 figure code provided with your Braillino, and this is the code to enter on the Mac when it is asked for. It should be with the BlueTooth extension that looks like a USB drive.

Re: Maybe a weird question about Terminal
Hi Chris, Install the Ports infrastructure from macports.org, which is just a .pkg file you download and run like any other Mac installer. That automatically makes the appropriate changes to your .profile file so that you can just run port install pianobar. Hope this helps, Zack.

Re: Focus Blue and mac
This seems to be a bug with VO. I had fun adventures with Apple engineers to try to figure it out, and they were left stumped and assuring me they were going to obtain a Focus 40 and test it. Naturally, I don't know the outcome of all this, but I hope it turns into something positive. Meanwhile, I either wait awhile and the uSB sometimes spontaneously starts to work after about twenty minutes, or I use Bluetooth. Sorry. I do hope this gets resolved, because I bought a Focus 40 specifically to use with my Mac, since the Braille Lite wasn't compatible.

Re: Internal Drive For Mac Mini late 2010
Hi, I would recommend checking out Other World Computing: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini/. They are a very good resource for Mac upgrades and accessories. They also have some decent how-tos.

Fwd: braille display Assistance requested
Hi Anne: Ok, found that adapter. Do I need that anywhere, also my braillino isn't seeing the mac, or at least, it's not responding t a pairing attempt. Also, my iPhone isn't even seeing it.Any further help much appreciated. ? Guess I'm back to the silly on disk manual. But, thank you again.

The Braillino only works with BlueTooth on the Mac as it has no USB connector, just a serial port. To pair your Braillino, you have to go into the BlueTooth pane of System Preferences, and follow the instructions to pair it there. You should have a 5 figure code provided with your Braillino, and this is the code to enter on the Mac when it is asked for. It should be with the BlueTooth extension that looks like a USB drive.

Re: GoogleTalk and Voice Over
I don't have Adium, but perhaps you might try mouse-clicking on the authorize contact button (with control-option-shift-space). I might give Adium a try based on this thread as I am considering a voice chat app. Eric On 6/3/11, Michael Busboom m...@busboom.at wrote: Hello Sarai, Thank you for commenting on my post. I have downloaded Adium and have tried to add a friend who uses GoogleTalk to my contacts. Whenever both of us are online, we try to make communication through GoogleTalk happen. The problem that I am currently having is that Voice Over tells me that he is in my table of contacts, but that the table is dimmed. Furthermore, although I can find the button that would allow me to authorize him as a contact, nothing happens when I use Voice Over to activate the button.

Re: braille display Assistance requested
Hello Carolyn, I don't know whether it made any difference, but I tried to add my Braillino in the Braille category of VoiceOver Utility but, although it saw the Braillino, I couldn't pair them. That was when I went to System Preferences where I had the opportunity to put in the code. You don't need that USB thing, it's just for PCs that don't have BlueTooth. You don't need that serial to USB cable either. It's getting late here in France, but I should be up for another hour or so if I can be of any further help. If you think this is getting too much for the list, e-mail me privately and I'll try to help further.

Re: braille display Assistance requested
Hello again Carolyn, My husband has just reminded me of something. You need to put your Braillino into the right mode for acting as a terminal. To do this, turn the unit off, then hold down the Braille dot 8 key while switching it back on again. You should see something like: HT BRAILLINO F4 and some other symbols. It should then be discoverable. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Web site on my doc?
Hey. Often times, I visit http://www.goarch.org Is there a way that I can somehow make a shortcut bookmark if you will, to it and place it on my doc for easy access? I know I can bookmark it in Safari itself, and one may sit here and tell me, oh, cry me a river, it's not that hard, but difficulty isn't the issue as much as it is speed. From any window, I wanna be able to just go boom, and with very few keystrokes just pop it right up. Ideally, I'd really like to maybe somehow make it where I could hit a keyboard shortcut and pop it up, but I'm quite sure that's impossible. Hmm, I wonder though if you could write an apple script that would do it. Hmm, now there's! a thought? Anyway, let me know. Also, one more quick thing: when I'm bookmarking something in Safari, what exactly does it mean by a collection. I thought that was a folder basically, but no. I see two buttons in the bookmark manager... I see new folder, but then, I also see new collection. So, what's the difference?

VMWAre Fusion tool
Hello all, I am running VMware Fusion with Windows 7 and have run into a problem where I can not start windows. I used to be able to press an unlabled button, but now the button has disappeared and was replaced with a text that says VMWare tool is not installed. Choose the virtual machine install vmware tools menu. Also I may have accidentally removed windows 7 from my library. I don't know what this means exactly. Just know I went changing things around in hopes to fix something, and didn't think this would make things difficult especially since there was no confirmation to remove windows 7 from my library. Could someone share what this VMWare tools means? Thanks, Antonio Guimaraes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Web site on my doc?
Jonathan, I never in my whole life have ever done anything with apple script.

Re: VMWAre Fusion tool
VMWare tools, I think if I'm understanding correctly basicly gives you all the drivers needed to be supported while inside your virtual machine. In other words, without it, I don't think your airport would work, although I could be wrong, I'm almost sure that your hardware bridging wouldn't work... by bridging, I just mean, you can bridge your hardware from o s x to Windows and vice versa. So, for example, your ethernet drivers aht come preloaded with O S X would then work in Windows, your sound from o s x would carry over to Windows etc. I think you have to have those tools installed in order for that to be possible.

Re: VMWAre Fusion tool
Hi Chris, I think that yes, VmWare tools does give you a specialized ethernet driver, among other things. As for the original message here, I admit I'm not sure why you'd be seeing just that text, there's usually something else to accompany it. In fact, I think that text is visible in an alert, if I remember correctly, it's been a long while since I had to mess with VmWare Tools at all. I recommend you install them, nevertheless. Best, Zack.

Re: VMWAre Fusion tool
Hello Antonio, The explanations you have received with regard to the function of the VM Ware Tools is quite correct; in short, they provide an automatic way to allow the Mac hardware to be used by the virtual machine. One could ask why this is an option at all for why would one not wish this? The answer is that there are some instances when such access is not required. Keep in mind that many IT professionals use virtual machines; VM Ware has to allow for all kinds of needs. It is the same with regard to word processors. Most people use only about 3% of the power of MS Office yet it has everything anyone could want in order to accommodate more advanced writers. As for your dilemma, without sighted assistance, I recommend the following: 1. If you think you have deleted your Windows 7 installation, assuming you have not emptied the Finder Trash, go to the Trash and undelete/restore the file. Please remember that regardless of its appearance, a virtual instance of anything is little more than a single file. 2. If possible, re-install VM Ware Fusion. This will not damage any instances of virtual machines. Good Luck, Mark On Jun 4, 2011, at 4:40 PM, Antonio M.

If you can still boot from your original install disk put it in and restart.

Re: Internal Drive For Mac Mini late 2010
Hi Patricia, I guess I'm confused as your original email states that you have a late 2010 mac mini. Perhaps you meant late 2009? If that's the case, I would still like to strongly suggest that you might want to contact Apple as they sometimes have parts that are under an extended warranty due to a recall or high failure rate. The quick phone call or trip to an Apple store might just save you some money, data and grief.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
Hello Teresa. :) Honestly, i am not sure what i am doing wrong: i know exactly where you are talking about on the page. I found the area to interact with but when i am typing in the document, i get audio feedback from VO that what i type isn't being entered. It just makes a noise everytime i type a letter but it doesn't speak the text the way it should. I don't know if this means there's no text being entered (if it doesn't show up on the screen) or if VO can't read it back for some reason. I am using my macbook more and more now a days and would love to see why this doesn't work. Either that or if someone can help me find text editor, that's fair enough.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
One more thing: i just chose the report template (it already has text in that template, something about castles, lol) I can edit that text fine, it's just blank docs that are causing me problems. Any ideas on the problem? Sonnia wrote: Hello Teresa. :) Honestly, i am not sure what i am doing wrong: i know exactly where you are talking about on the page.
