What is iWeb
Just a curious question as I've seen references to it in various places. Is it an engine for web browsers, or something else entirely?

Good Things About Lion and Safari
Well, I suppose those too words are a good fit in more than one context. :) In any case, here are some things I've noticed improvement on with VO. 1. VO just seems much more stable to me. I haven't had to restart it once since I got Lion a week ago. 2. I used to have a terrible problem with quick-nav spontaneously activating itself. No more. Yay. 3. I haven't had to import my vO prefs once since I've had Lion, whereas I used to have to do this three times in a week. 4. Safari and vO play much more nicely together, IMO. There are many fewer busy messages. Good job, developers. I'm pleased in general. Of course, there are always little things that don't go as smoothly as they might, but these things happen with computer software. Anyone else had similar experiences to mine?

A List Update From Moderator Mark: All Is Well
Hello Everyone, First, as Cara and I manage both the MacVisionaries and V iPhone lists, I am cross-posting. Second, allow me to extend a welcome to all the new list members. For the past couple of hours, I given a great deal of thought on how to respond to some of the statements made on list, today. Finally, it occurred to me that to respond to the messages that have stirred up more than a few flames would be the worst thing I could possibly do. So, instead, I will say the following: 1. Like it or not, as blind and low vision people, we share an existence that binds us together in a very special way. Some people treasure this bond and some do not but regardless it is there. I want you all to know that I value this connection more than words can express. 2. I ask you all to keep in mind that despite the efforts of some list members, neither the MacVisionaries nor the V iPhone lists exist merely to serve as a database of questions and answers; if that is what you seek, then you would be better serve by searching your nearest knowledge base. In addition to exchanging knowledge, This list is a place for us to fellowship in some small way. I want to make it clear that in no way am I condoning personal chat-like posts but, from time-to-time, such posts will make their way to the entire list. When this happens, please be tolerant. 3. We share a bond, Family, so it really doesn't matter to which list you choose to subscribe for the information will eventually find its way to us all. I don't want anyone to leave the list for I sincerely think Cara has cultivated something very unique and special here but if you think you can build a better mousetrap then, by all means, build it and we will celebrate you for in so doing, we celebrate ourselves as we are one community. It's really that simple. There is no competition. 4. A very special thanks to all of you who take the time to answer questions and publish some of the best podcasts in the world. I'm always excited when someone posts a notice to the list describing his/her latest podcast which is filled with useful information from which we all can benefit. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 5. It is not easy to manage large email lists for there will always be some who choose to see only the shadows in a room filled with light. It is to these list members that I say the following: Personal criticisms will no longer be tolerated. While I will not ban anyone from receiving information posted to the list, if you lob personal attacks against any other list member or take it upon yourself to moderate fellow members by criticizing their posts, I will summarily revoke your posting privileges. It's really that simple. If you have a problem which a list member, contact that person off-list. If you don't like something on the list, Contact Cara or me. Just so you know, I have already begun to implement this policy. 6. To those who think that no one is listening, I want you to know that, because of the brilliant implementation of VoiceOver with the Mac mail client and the iOS mail client, I either read or skim through virtually all of the list messages. 7. To those of you who find yourselves being overwhelmed with posts from the lists, I invite you to consider either switching to List Digest Mode or explore your preferred mail client so that you can browse list messages more efficiently. 8. I want you to know that I look forward to reading all your messages. When reading, I am amazed at how comforting it is to learn that I am not the only one experiencing a particular problem or challenge on my Apple device or in my Apple compatible software. Some how, I feel less alone when reading your experiences so please keep them coming. 9. As has been stated several times before, whenever there is a major operating system release, list traffic will increase. Please be tolerant of this and know that more often than not, the increase is temporary. 10. We live in amazing times, Family; keep this in mind when you find yourself becoming discouraged, irritated, or just plain bothered. As blind and low vision people, we enjoy access to the world in ways that no generation before us could even imagine. Be assured that the integrity of this list is intact and all is well. I hope this message finds you happy, safe, and making a joyful noise. Most Sincerely, Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

backuping vo-settings: activities

Hi Everyone. I too agree with Teresa and may this list become positive in all that we do.

Re: Spotify not accessible on Snow Leopard
I downloaded spotify for the Mac and foudn it completely inaccessible. It had been a little accessible on windows . But then I tried it on windows. Spotify updated itself and became completely inaccessible on windows. I use Napster using the web interface on the Mac which is more or less accessible, apart from the volume slider which voice-over doesn't see.

Re: Reading ebooks on the Mac
Thanks. I've managed to download some books from Kobo and i'm reading them with Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview. Just to put it very clearly - you need to interact with the page, then make sure that quicknav is off, and then you can page back and forward with left and right. It works pretty well - although more control and the option for continuous reading is certainly missed. I think it is worth engaging with Adobe on sorting out these final niggles in what is a much-improved app for the Mac. I'd also encourage people to write to apple to request iBooks for the Mac. The access potential is so huge - and it is really silly that it should be held up by small technicalities at this point. Jane wrote: I just use the arrow keys for previous and next page.

Theoretically, you can interact with the page and read using the usual VO reading commands. However, I find that every time I interact with the page, VO crashes.

The MacUpdate reviews of this product (stable versions) by sighted users are at the lowest ratings. Have things gotten better? On the iPad are you using this with OverDrive?

Voice Memos and Lion
Hi all, I have tried to sync my Voice memos from my Iphone to my Mac. This might be better suited to the Viphone list. If it is, I apologize. The reason I think it is relevant here, is that I was able to sync my memos in Snow Leopard, now that I've updated to Lion they don't seem to be syncing. Any ideas?

Re: Keynote error
Hello Allison, I noticed in your error message that you appear to have an older version of Keynote running on Lion. My first thought was that you might need to upgrade to the latest version of Keynote, which is version 5.1. Apple released free updates for Keynote, Pages and Numbers a few days before releasing Lion and I believe they addressed some Lion-related issues. You should be able to get the updates by running the standard Software Update process from the Apple menu.

On the PC, my sighted wife used to use a version of Cakewalk a few years ago which allowed her to enter music one note at a time. I'm not a music reader, but i guess she could enter the staffs and create the entire choir song as if it were played on the piano. She would use her mouse to do this. She could then save the mp3 so I could listen to it and learn my part. She could even drop the volume on the other parts so I could primarily hear the bass line. Is there anything like that on the Mac? I'd like to find something for as I know she enjoyed entering music. Since she is sighted, accessibility isn't an issue.

Re: Reading ebooks on the Mac
Hmm, When I interact with the page, voiceover crashes. Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter Skype: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Jul 29, 2011, at 6:14 AM, Max wrote: Thanks. I've managed to download some books from Kobo and i'm reading them with Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview. Just to put it very clearly - you need to interact with the page, then make sure that quicknav is off, and then you can page back and forward with left and right. It works pretty well - although more control and the option for continuous reading is certainly missed. I think it is worth engaging with Adobe on sorting out these final niggles in what is a much-improved app for the Mac. I'd also encourage people to write to apple to request iBooks for the Mac.

Re: Choosing a Mac Book Air
Garth, one other thing to throw in, as its not been covered, but you mention it in your last post, battery life, I have the 11in, and have just bought the newer 11in, so have a spare 11in, fully upgraded up for sale, :_), contact off list if interested... the 11in with the screen turned off or dulled right down, for those moments you are using Voice Over only, will give like 11 hours or so battery life.

I think my choice is now pretty clearly between the 11 inch with 4Gb and 128 Gb SSD and the 13 inch with the same spec. There is a $100 price difference between the two at $1349 or $1449. The 13 also has a slightly faster processor and supposably better battery life. I guess I will just keep playing with them in store. The base model is only $1099 Australian but as I suspected, I shouldn't have been considering this one. Garth On 29/07/2011, at 12:05 AM, Bryan Jones openses...@me.com wrote: Hello Garth, I have a late 2010 11 inch macbook air and can give my opinions. I've never tried the 13 inch Air, so I won't give an opinion on it. Regarding RAM: I think there are several good reasons to purchase it with 4 GB of RAM. Reason one: Unlike most computers, RAM on the Air is not upgradable after you've purchased it. It is soldered to the system board and cannot be expanded. Perhaps an enterprising third party will come along with a method of upgrading RAM but as of yet this has not happened to the best of my knowledge. Reason two: Lion's minimum RAM requirement is two GB. It's probably a good idea to have more than the minimum even if you only plan to do basic web surfing, email and skype.. Reason three: If you're considering the only model that comes with 2GB RAM, I assume that also means you're considering the 64 GB SSD that comes with that base model. Apple's retail price is US $100 to bump that base model up to 4GB. However, if you bypass the base model and go with the higher-level model, you will get both the additional 2 GB of RAM plus a 128 GB SSD for not a lot more money, especially if you shop around at vendors such as macmall and amazon where you can find better pricing. While I would normally also recommend looking at Apple's online refurb store, in this case I think the reported performance improvements of the newest Air probably outweigh the small price difference offered by purchasing a last-generation refurbished Air. Regarding Zoom: I used Zoom extensively in the past when my vision was better, and I still use it sometimes with my 24 inch external monitor. For getting out of tricky situations, I find Zoom is fine on the 11 inch screen. Try it in the store and see what you think. You can zoom the heck out of most things. If you're like me and cannot see anything on a white background, you might want to also try reversing the video to white-on-black. The Zoom, color and contrast options can all be found and quickly toggled in the Universal Access panel of System Preferences. If you decide to attach an external monitor, you can do this through the new Thunderbolt port which actually doubles as a mini DisplayPort, thus allowing you to use Apple's variety of adapters to connect to VGA, DVI and I think HDMI displays. HTH, Bryan On Jul 28, 2011, at 5:33 AM, Garth Humphreys wrote: I am trying to decide which Mac Book Air to buy. I would love to hear the experiences of those of you who use the zoom feature with VO. I have been trying the air out at our local Apple store and am trying to decide between the 11 inch and the 13 inch models. Firstly, do you all think that it is important to get 4 Gb RAM or would 2 Gb be fine with VO. Keep in mind that the Air would primarily be used for email and browsing. At times I will be using the Air for skype and will want to be able to record the audio. Next, how well does the Zoom feature work. The reason for asking is that I am trying to evaluate the value of spending an extra $100 or so for the extra screen realestate of the 13 inch. My sight is poor enough that I would probably only use the screen to help get out of those tricky situations where seeing the screen makes it easier. I hope this makes sence to some of you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: VoiceOver not starting automatically in Lion
Hi, by any chance, do you have your Mac set up to log you in automatically or, do you have to type in your password? If you have to type in your password, you need to go to system preferences/users and groups and set voiceover to turn on at the login screen Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter Skype: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Jul 29, 2011, at 9:10 AM, Joseph Norton wrote: Hi list: Have any of you noticed a problem with Lion where VoiceOver does not start automatically?

Scripting functionalities ...
How much have you actually looked at AppleScript? The Voice Over set of commands just allows you to script the various VoiceOver functions if you want access to the menus or different graphical widgets an application that has been available in the Macintosh environment longer then VoiceOver has been around. I have not seen anybody try to merge the VoiceOver scripting and the UI element scripting, but doing this should give you the same level of control that jaws scripting gives to jaws users. OK. 90% of the items you listed can or should be able to be done with Hotspots. I wish hot spots were a bit more configurable: 1. ability to change some hot spots when application or focus changes. 2. Ability to have the HotSpot indicate only what changed when tracking is on. persistence in hotspots when used with AREA regions of a HTML 5 page. 1. I an not quite sure about Skype chat, since I have only used it a couple of times, but for most chats turning off cursor tracking (which I would expect can now be done on a application basis ) should solve most of the issues. I find the jump command often does the right thing (though not innumbers) I don't have any documents with footnotes / endnotes, so I can not truely discuss these, again since a foot note is a reference to a specific spot in the text, using the jump-to function might make sense. . Jonathan So an interesting request to the iWork accessability team would be to have VO-J jump from formula to table. Though it might even be possible to do this with an apple script.

As you wish. What I need to have done is automatic reading of incoming messages in skype active chat window. Right now, if I want to read incoming chat messages, I need to move VO cursor, then I have to interact with the HTML content, then I have to move to the last message. In alternative, I have to unlink VO cursor from the system focus and still I am not able to have incoming messages read automatically. I need to enter commands. I need to know if a paragraph contains footnotes and endnotes reference; and, if it does and if I want, I should be able to read the note's content without leaving the document text area. When in a spreadsheet, I need to define monitor cells on a document base; when navigating the cells, I need to know if a cell content is a constant or the result of a formula again without leaving the spreadsheet itself. JAWS, Orca, NVDA, Windows eyes to are scriptable. And it is a very powerfull feature. If you want to use that feature, well, it is there; if you do not want, just don't. If something is there, you can choose if you want to use it or not; if a feature is not available... Yes, I know, you can control VO using Apple Script.

Re: VoiceOver not starting automatically in Lion
Tried both ways. VO starts in the login screen, but, after I log in (or after an autologin), it does not start. The only thing I can think of is that, I'm running without a display. I will try to get a monitor later today and see if it continues after I hook up the monitor.

Yes, you can select play sound as one of the items in the Mail rules. Just select add new action and then there should be a drop down for play sound.

Re: Booting from the Lion Partition
Hi Mika, As I understand it the command is new in Lion and is designed to make it easier for you to activate the recovery partition. I have never heard the command-r while powering on mentioned before the release of Lion.

However, when I get to the part of the install where you have to put in your apple ID, apparently, that window is opening in the background. Since we don't have access to all the voiceover features, I can't seem to focus on that window in order to put in my ID.

I am wondering if anyone has discovered another, more reliable way of getting it done? I am assuming that burning a CD would result in the same problem. If anyone has an idea of how to get around this,I would appreciate knowing about it, thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Scripting functionalities ...
You can configure hotspots per application with activities. As for AppleScript, I've poked around a little and want to learn it more. Someone here posted a script to speak the battery percentage, and I modified it to also say the remaining time. Not bad for not knowing the language!

OK. 90% of the items you listed can or should be able to be done with Hotspots. I wish hot spots were a bit more configurable: 1. ability to change some hot spots when application or focus changes. 2. Ability to have the HotSpot indicate only what changed when tracking is on. persistence in hotspots when used with AREA regions of a HTML 5 page. 1. I an not quite sure about Skype chat, since I have only used it a couple of times, but for most chats turning off cursor tracking (which I would expect can now be done on a application basis ) should solve most of the issues. I find the jump command often does the right thing (though not innumbers) I don't have any documents with footnotes / endnotes, so I can not truely discuss these, again since a foot note is a reference to a specific spot in the text, using the jump-to function might make sense. .

Re: Option click?
I assume you are talking about getting extended options in the bluetooth, airport and other status menu bar items? I do this by the following process: 1. Hit vo-m twice to get to the status menu items. 2. Make sure quick nav is turned off. 3. Hold down the option key with your left hand and use left and right arrow keys until you get to the menu you want extended information on. 4. Release the option key and use the down arrow key. This provides signal strength information in the Airport menu, a selector for input and output sound in the sound volume menu, and bluetooth diagnostics and hardware addresses in the bluetooth menu.

a most paculiar Safari behavior
Okay. Here's the thing I'm finding. Sometimes, when I open Safari, the VO curser doesn't go directly to my home page. Every time I open a page in a session where that happens, I have to manually interact with each and every page. Keep in mind the following two facts. 1. I have my VO set so that with every web page that loads, the VO curser is supposed to go directly to it. 2. I was noticing the behavior described above even before I installed Lion and was using the latest Safari version just issued the same day Lion came out. Anybody else notice this? IF so, got any suggestions on whether this will be fixed in 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 or perhaps a setting I might adjust differently? Thanks. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

great wireless headset for computer
So I wanted a blue tooth headset for my Imac, since my plantronics wouldn't pair with it. And I got some recommendations on what headset to pick with a mic. I wanted to take it a step further though, I wanted to be wireless, so I could move around while using skype, and even be on my IMac. So I got the logitech wireless headset with behind the head design. It ran about 99 bucvks retail but I got it off amazon for about 71 bucks. But this thing is flawless! It's literally plug and play. Only thing you need to do is go to system preferences and tell your mac to use it, and your done. I live inn a 1350 square foot town house, and there is no where in the house I couldn't go without losing the connection. The sound quality for me is great, I don't know about the mic yet, I haven't had a chance to set up skype or vantrillow on my computer yet since I did a clean install of lion on tuesday. And the best part for me is, since I don't need the screen, I can work on things from the kitchen table, witch is about 25 feet from my desk, and the keyboard or the headset never loses or breaks up the connection. So if your looking for a wireless headset for the computer, this is the way to go. The only thing that would make it better, is being able to connect to the IPhone. Can't have everything though.

Re: Option click?
Hi, I can't get my output device to switch from my internal mic to line-in on my macbook air. I've never been able to do this from within system preferences either, so I was hoping an option click would work.

Upgrading from a white Macbook to a Macbook Pro
Hi, I am about to upgrade from a White Macbook to a Macbook Pro 2010 model. both machines are running Snow Leopard. I have a ccc clone of the White Macbook's hd on an external drive along with time machine backups on my tc. I would like to know is it possible to boot straight in to my cloned drive of the White Macbook and from there get ccc to clone my new Macbook Pro's HD so I have everything as it was on my White Macbook? Also if I used Migration assistant are there any advantages and would this copy everything across from my old machine to the new one including Itunes email etc? Lastly I read somewhere you need to de register your old computer from the Itunes Store before setting up the new one. How do you go about this. Sorry for all the q's its something I've never done before so want to get it right.

Re: a most paculiar Safari behavior
I've noticed this, but only intermittently and not that often so didn't think of it. I'm using webkit though so perhaps they've made progress toward fixing it there. On Jul 29, 2011, at 4:13 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: Okay. Here's the thing I'm finding. Sometimes, when I open Safari, the VO curser doesn't go directly to my home page. Every time I open a page in a session where that happens, I have to manually interact with each and every page. Keep in mind the following two facts. 1. I have my VO set so that with every web page that loads, the VO curser is supposed to go directly to it. 2. I was noticing the behavior described above even before I installed Lion and was using the latest Safari version just issued the same day Lion came out. Anybody else notice this? IF so, got any suggestions on whether this will be fixed in 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 or perhaps a setting I might adjust differently? Thanks. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Re: Good Things About Lion and Safari
Hi. The only thing I have problem with is when a website pops up a dialog for example confirm something. My readynas have those dialogs in its webbinterface. If such dialog pops up v o hangs completely. It also happens when you have to confirm a safari extension installation such as 1password. this is also reported to apple but no confirmation from them yet.

Yay. 3. I haven't had to import my vO prefs once since I've had Lion, whereas I used to have to do this three times in a week. 4. Safari and vO play much more nicely together, IMO.

Switching to Line-In [was Re: Option click?]
Hi Courtney, To change your input from your internal mic to line-in, you might try downloading the free LineIn application from the freebies section of Rogue Amoeba's web site: http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/ This lets you select your Input and Output, and also lets you VO-Space on the Pass Thru (unchecked check box) to monitor a recording (e.g., if you select Input from Built-in Line In and Output to Default System Output). This has nothing to do with Option click or menu extras on the Menu bar, so I've changed the subject line. I use Line In with the Pass Thru if I want to connect to an iPod or iPhone and monitor or record what's happening. This can also be used to record what's going on with an iPod or iPhone connected into the line in for a podcast. (You can find this in the Mail Archives for this list in connection with discussions on how to demo the iPod Nano and other iPods for a podcast). HTH.

Re: Voice over lag and other lion issues

adobe digital editions preview: how to find the text to read?
Hello all, I downloaded and installed the digital editions 1.8. It comes with a book getting started. I have that book open. I can see buttons for previous page, which is dimmed, for next page, a slider, a close zoom and one unlabeled button, an edit field with an associated search button, an add bookmark button and an edit field with page one already inserted as the page I should go to, unless I type a different number, of course. I have tried vo m and also up and down arrows with QN engaged. I'm not seeing any text or any area that offers to be interacted with, e.g. a scroll area or whatever. The only unlabeled control in this whole application is just one unlabeled button. So the question: how can you actually start reading text? Where is it? And what does that slider do? I tried advancing it to 100% from the 0 it started at. It seemed to make no difference.

Re: adobe digital editions preview: how to find the text to read?
Hi Mary, When you start up in the Getting Started guide you're on a Cover graphic. I'll spare you the experiments, and tell you to just use your right arrow key (with QuickNav off) to move to the next page. If you keep QuickNav on, you'll have to move to the Next Page button and press it. I ended up pressing the TOC button to get to the Table of Contents, but you don't want to really use that unless you want Table of Contents navigation and Bookmarks access. It will split your view to put a Table of Contents or Bookmarks pane always visible along with the book page, which will just make for extra controls to navigate through when you don't want them. pressing the TOC button again will make this go away. There's no way that I've found to read continuously. I skipped most of the guide and just added an ePub book to start reading. If you download one from Kobo Books on your account page (to have an example which requires the ADE login) the first time you try to open it you'll be prompted for an Adobe Digital Editions log in and password. From then on your computer will be authorized, and you can start reading. You can also add any ePub books which are DRM free and read them in Adobe Digital Editions Preview. Bookmarking, searches, and table of contents navigation are supported. Languages other than English and annotations are not supported in the Preview version. HTH.

Re: adobe digital editions preview: how to find the text to read?
Thanks, Esther, for clarifying the business about the graphic that comes up when you first open the digital editions getting started guide. I guess I should have clicked that next page button, and it would have become clear what was going on. Our library subscribes to the Overdrive e-books service as well as the audio service. Now I am intrigued by the e-books service, which I had totally ignored until now. You're suppose to be able to read those books using this preview 1.8. With audio books, I think they make you use a special application to download and then read the books. So with these e-books that are drm protected, I assume they're going to let me download the book on my Mac in the usual way and then open it in digital additions; there seems not to be a download method from within the application itself nor any import buttons that I saw. So I presume either the Mac will be smart enough to pick digital additions if I click on an Overdrive e-book, or there will be some means of adding those books to my digital editions bookshelf. I'll have to give Kobo another look as well. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

lion clean install
Hey everyone, ok, here is my experience so far. One of my other macs is doing the install now. Purchased the app and downloaded it. Used disk utility to make a bootable DVD, also attempted to make a bootable flash drive, but disk utility seems to require you to drag the disk image to the destination, tried that but couldn't seem to get that to work. So I used super duper to clone the image to my flash drive, actually it's an 8 GB micro SD card and a card reader, but should be the same. Attempted to boot the mac using the flash drive first, that didn't seem to work, the apple logo displayed for a while, then the screen stayed blank, waited for about 15 minutes, then I decided to try the DVD I made. Having better luck with that, mac booted, started voiceover and used disk utility to erase my hard drive, since I want to do a clean install. Now comes the interesting part, it wants you to enter your apple ID and password, I guess to verify that you have purchased 10.7. There are actually 2 windows open here, one is the installer, and there is another window behind that where you need to enter your user name and password. I know a few users have had problems with this, to get around it, press control option function F2 twice. When booted from the DVD, the function keys are configured to do hardware functions. You need to do this key stroke twice, the first time reads the window title, the second time will open the window chooser menu where you can switch to the sign in window. After entering the user name and password, it's downloading components, I figured it would just use what was already on the DVD, it's probably downloading the same thing, but there doesn't seem to be a way around that. Also, the customize option was disabled, so hopefully it will not install all of the multilanguage support, since I don't really need that or all the print drivers. Not sure why the flash drive method did not work, but so far the DVD is working. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: adobe digital editions preview: how to find the text to read?
Hi Esther, I did manage to get to the next page of the getting started guide with the next page button. I will say that arrowing does not do anything with qn off. I'm using SL. I have to have qn on and arrow over to the next page button, then arrow back to where the text is, and it reads all at once. No way to stop, review line by line etc. Interestingly, there are shortcuts listed at the end of the getting started guide. And the ones for the windows screen reader have things like review by character, line word etc, but not for VO. Maybe this is an exception. But I could not interact with the text, nor did plain arrows with no QN have any affect at all.

iTunes Keystroke Discovery
Hi friends, I've discovered a keystroke in iTunes rather by accident. In the main music library playlist and with Shuffle off, option + the arrow left and right keys will jump to the previous and next artist in the main playlist. For example,e I was able to jump from Fitz and the Tantrums to The Fixx by hitting option + right arrow. A cool feature which is way better than just hitting right arrow repeatedly. Unfortunately, option and F9/F7 does not reproduce this, so you have to be in the main iTunes window for this to occur. Please forgive me if this is common knowledge, but I thought it was pretty rad.

Re: [Bulk] Extremely frustrating problem on Web site
I have found that VO+F can work well where Item chooser goes astray. For some reason, a few of us have found that the item chooser is no longer what it once was; but, VO+f seems to be both more accurate and faster. Give that a whirl and let us know how you get on with that option. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

Anyone have a clue what is going on here? Thanks. Christine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Problem with VoiceOver not starting in Lion
Hi: Just upgraded to Lion and everything works satisfactorily, except that, when I boot up, VO does not automatically come up after log in. VO works fine in the Login screen, but, won't automatically come on after login. I believe the problem may be that I am running without a display, since I'm using a Mac Mini and this has worked ok, for the most part. If there are any Mac Mini lion users out there, could you try booting up without your display plugged in and see if VO comes up? If it doesn't, you should be able to hit cmd-f5 to get it to come up. It's not enough to turn the monitor off, it needs to be disconnected to duplicate the conditions I'm working under. If this happens, can any of you suggest a work-around? I can get an old monitor and physically connect it. It doesn't work, but, should provide the hardware functionality needed to correct this problem, if that's what it is. It's not a big deal, although I'm going to write to the accessibility team at Apple to see what their thoughts are. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: iTunes Keystroke Discovery
Hi, Now if some one could just tell me how to play an album in the original track order, I'd be a happy camper...LOL Anyone? I mean absolutely @ all.

In the main music library playlist and with Shuffle off, option + the arrow left and right keys will jump to the previous and next artist in the main playlist. For example,e I was able to jump from Fitz and the Tantrums to The Fixx by hitting option + right arrow. A cool feature which is way better than just hitting right arrow repeatedly. Unfortunately, option and F9/F7 does not reproduce this, so you have to be in the main iTunes window for this to occur. Please forgive me if this is common knowledge, but I thought it was pretty rad.

Re: iTunes Keystroke Discovery
Hi CJ, To play an album in original track order, in the songs table of iTunes, navigate to the column for Album and use the sort command (VO+Shift+Backslash on an English input keyboard). You should be in list view (Command+Option+3). If Album is not one of the columns being displayed, you can bring up the iTunes View Options… menu with Command+J and then check the box for Album before closing the window with Command+w. (You can also do this by navigating to the menu bar with VO+m, pressing v to go to the View menu, and arrowing down to View Options… if you forget the shortcut). The sort command is a toggle action and the first operation sorts in ascending order, the second reverses the sort to descending order. You can always select the tracks and use Command+Shift+n for New Playlist from Selection to create a playlist in the listed order. HTH.

Re: a most paculiar Safari behavior
Hi, yes I am noticing this too. Although I am getting this more after I installed Lion. I don't know if this is because of Lion, or because of Safari 5.1. I have to manually interact with the html section more often than before. Before, VoiceOver was better at interacting with html content automatically. On Jul 29, 2011, at 1:13 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: Okay. Here's the thing I'm finding. Sometimes, when I open Safari, the VO curser doesn't go directly to my home page. Every time I open a page in a session where that happens, I have to manually interact with each and every page. Keep in mind the following two facts. 1. I have my VO set so that with every web page that loads, the VO curser is supposed to go directly to it. 2. I was noticing the behavior described above even before I installed Lion and was using the latest Safari version just issued the same day Lion came out. Anybody else notice this? IF so, got any suggestions on whether this will be fixed in 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 or perhaps a setting I might adjust differently? Thanks. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
