Re: Too much verbiage being read in message list in Mail
What Mike does here is what I had to do also to cut down on the amount of unnecessary read out, unfortunately Lion's Mail client in Conversations View, when left in the new layout does not seem to recognise the MEssages area as a table, meaning that you cannot interact with it. So you have to have Voice Over announce all the unnecessaries per thread.

Just copy the app tothe applications folder, and when you open it, it will ask for the serial number. Much more convenient now that everything is contained in one application.

Re: not able to edit pages document?
Hi Jessica! Could it be that your pages might be corrupted! If you have access to another account on your Mac and it has Pages on it [or set one up] see if pages runs ok on there!

But this is happening with all pages documents. After I finished with my homework I did a little experiment. I opened a new pages document, typed something in it and quit pages. when I tried to open it, it opened fine but again, I couldn't type in it or delete anything from it. when I tried to select all and copy and paste, it would select all but I couldn't copy. that's why I couldn't take Rachel's suggestion of copying and pasting into text edit. it selects all but won't let me copy. the quicknav keys are turned off. I even turned voiceover off thinking it might be a VO issue but it did the same thing with voiceover off. just clunked at me when I tried to type in the document. It's as if the documents are locked but they aren't. when I get info on the files, it says I have permission to read and write. yesterday when I first noticed this happening I tried repairing my permissions and it didn't fix. I tried Eugenia's suggestion of renaming the backup and deleting the original but it did the same thing with the renamed backup. I opened it up and couldn't manipulate the text in the document. I'm getting a bit worried cuz I have a research paper for one of my classes that I wanna start working on soon. I don't wanna be fighting with pages when it comes down to doing serious writing. that just sounds too…PC-esque. it seems like it's some kind of weird permissions issue. when I do the same thing with text edit, it works fine.

Re: urgent help needed
Donna, Assuming you have a MBP or laptop, the eject key is the top right one on the keyboard and a press and hold for about 3 seconds will eject the disk. To successfully install SL again, firstly power the machine down, now start it back up again, the second you hear the Apple noise, sorry there's no way to describe that :), press and hold the letter C on the keyboard, do not let it go until your CD drive begins to work and by that I mean you can hear it accessing the disk. keep your finger on the C key for about another 5 plus seconds and release. you should continue to hear your disk drive spinning and reading for a good minute or so. once it all goes quiet press command F5 and again you should hear the disk spin up, after another 15 seconds or so, Voice Over should kick in and you should be able to install OSx again yourself. at the point the operating system restarts, i.e. you get to that funky bit of music, which visually shows a few screen shots etc of a Mac in use. hold the power key for about 10 seconds until your Mac powers down. when you now give the machine to the person you've sold it to, they will power it up to that music again and it will be as if it were brand new. oh, before powering it down, remove the CD the way I outlined at the start, pressing and holding eject for about 3 seconds which is the top right key.

getting an OS back on my MBP, wasgetting MBP ready to sell
Hey Ricardo, Not sure if you can answer this, but the one other thing I can think of to do is to try and restore from a time-machine backup. (Not sure if this will work, since my most recent backup is now from the Air, but I figure it's worth a shot.) Anyway, if I do that, of course all my data will be back on the machine, so I'll have to erase again. When you sent this message, you seemed to be thinking that when it was done erasing, it would reboot to a fresh install of Lion, as though it were a new machine. Do you have any ideas about what I should have done differently so that this would happened?

Re: getting an OS back on my MBP, wasgetting MBP ready to sell
Yes, That is exactly what I thought would happen. I'm surprise it didn't. Try this, Restart the mbp and press command R again. The recovery partition for Lion might still be there. If your able to boot into that, you should be able to download and reinstall Lion via wifi. I believe this was 1 of the options in that table.

After that point, I get no sound from the VM at all. I am not positive whether or not it actually restarted but it appears that it probably did. At least fusion seems to think that windows is running. At any rate, if I let it sit for a few minutes, the fan on my Mac starts running at top speed suggesting that the computer is working extremely hard. I booted my system with an earlier SuperDuper clone and of course Window-Eyes ran fine because I was again using fusion 3. I then uninstalled Window-Eyes from that SuperDuper clone and copy the VM without Window-Eyes back to my fusion 4 installation. I then allowed the XP VM to be upgraded by fusion to work with fusion 4. I then ran System Access as the screen reader and it works perfectly. I have not yet decided whether or not I will try installing Window-Eyes but it is possible that Window-Eyes does not like fusion 4. Does anybody have fusion 4 working with Window-Eyes in an XP VM?

Unfortunately, I have not gotten either of them to work. for the sake of my homework I ended up just opening a new document and retyping it from the original document so I was able to hand it in. thank goodness it wasn't a very long assignment so it wasn't a big deal. But this is happening with all pages documents. After I finished with my homework I did a little experiment. I opened a new pages document, typed something in it and quit pages. when I tried to open it, it opened fine but again, I couldn't type in it or delete anything from it. when I tried to select all and copy and paste, it would select all but I couldn't copy. that's why I couldn't take Rachel's suggestion of copying and pasting into text edit. it selects all but won't let me copy. the quicknav keys are turned off. I even turned voiceover off thinking it might be a VO issue but it did the same thing with voiceover off. just clunked at me when I tried to type in the document. It's as if the documents are locked but they aren't. when I get info on the files, it says I have permission to read and write. yesterday when I first noticed this happening I tried repairing my permissions and it didn't fix. I tried Eugenia's suggestion of renaming the backup and deleting the original but it did the same thing with the renamed backup. I opened it up and couldn't manipulate the text in the document. I'm getting a bit worried cuz I have a research paper for one of my classes that I wanna start working on soon. I don't wanna be fighting with pages when it comes down to doing serious writing. that just sounds too…PC-esque. it seems like it's some kind of weird permissions issue. when I do the same thing with text edit, it works fine. I'm able to open a new document in text edit, write in it, close it and write in it again with no problems. it's just pages. peace and positivity Jessica and Goldina follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 2011-09-15, at 5:36 AM, Eugenia Firth wrote: Hi Jessica and Goldina I had this happen to me, and I wrote Apple about it.

Re: Is there a manual eject button anywhere on the MBP?
Hi Donna, Try the following: 1. make sure the machine is powered off. 2. Hold down the eject button, that is the key to the right of the F12 key and press the power button while keeping the eject button held down. You should hear the cd start to spin and then the mac chime. After the chime the cd should eject. Just keep the eject button held until the cd pops out.

Re: Fusion 4 and Window-Eyes
I did install the vm ware tools. The problem is the same that was the issue on version 3, at least for me. I told vo to install, and clicked yes to continue. But there were to more buttons that vo didn't read, a continue, and except button. This is what my wife told me when we did it back in June. Vo didn't read the buttons this time, but jaws did.

I remember some users notified the company of this back when version 5 was out, so it's obvious that at least for now, the company has no interest in resolving this. Fortunately, for virtualization, we can use fusion which works well and is accessible. I've actually heard that parallels is faster than fusion, have not compared them, but even if it is, if it's not accessible, the extra speed is meaningless. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

You can then use the fat32 partition to share data between windows and the mac, and you can use the os10 partition to maintain a backup of everything on your mac. Let's begin by looking at how to resize your macintosh hd partition and have a sandbox beside it. It involves a few steps which I'll describe below. Not key by key though. I'll assume that you have some mac knowledge, but just don't know where to go yet, and in what order. Here you go. First open disk utility, to carefully inspect your current configuration so that you know what you will be changing.. To do this, Go into the finder, say, your desktop, and press command shift u from there. This will open your utilities folder. Here, find disk utility dot app, and open it. In the disk table on the left, interact, and look at your current disk configuration. You need to know a few things before you go do something here. A disk is just a disk, and you cannot use it directly. It needs to have a partition to hold the file system, inside of which you can store files. There are many file systems, one of them is fat32, and another is mac os10 extended journaled. A filesystem lives inside a partition, so the partition is the container for the file system on the disk. From the disk perspective, you first have an empty disk. Then you create a partition on the disk, spanning all or only part of the disk size. As you are creating the new partition, you must choose which file system is going to live inside it, because The partition must be formatted for use with the type of file system that you want to use. In other words, the way you format your partition, becomes a property of the partition. So, on your external usb drive, you can have a fat32 partition, and a mac os10 partition, and you can have 2 separate mac os 10 extended journaled partitions on your internal mac hard drive. In both cases, You then just allocate one bit to the first partition, and the rest of the disk space to the other. You do this by

As I understand it, Time machine does not back up every single file at the very route lelvel of the drive; where as Carbon copy cloner will. IN fact, if you just make a CCC of your disk, that disk will be bootable. I know, because I've done it. Therefore, I'd recommend CCC. Truth to tell, I make use of both.

Re: not able to edit pages document?
Hello Jessica, Here's something else you could try. Go to Library. This is a hidden file, but if you press Cmd-Shift-G then type ~/Library/ you'll get it. In Library, open Preferences (not preference panes), and find com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist. Copy this file to your desktop just in case, then delete it from the Preferences folder and try Pages again. If all goes well, throw away the copy you put on your desktop. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Is there a manual eject button anywhere on the MBP?
1. If you hold down the control key during boot, I believe it will first eject the Disk. Second, Don't you have Lion installed? perhaps you can use the Lion recovery partition to install the OS.

Re: Is there a manual eject button anywhere on the MBP?
thanks, John. Never heard of the option to hold down the CTRL key. I did have Lion installed, but was not able to reinstall it from the recovery partition. Not really sure why.

Re: Is there a manual eject button anywhere on the MBP?
You can eject a disc whilst holding the mouse button down on a Mac with a mouse attached. Hold down the mouse button (left if you have two) and then power up keeping the button pressed. Am not sure if this works on a MBP whilst holding down the trackpad instead.

Re: Is there a manual eject button anywhere on the MBP?
Hi Ben, I did, but I used my SL disk. It didn't work, and I couldn't figure out why.

Re: Is there a manual eject button anywhere on the MBP?
I know that on some of the macs, the big mouse click button on the bottom will eject it when held down just after you hit power. I know once I burned a coaster that locked the whole system up and had to do this on my regular Macbook but the newer ones could've gotten rid of that way of ejecting. - Original Message - From: Doug Lawlor doug.law...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 7:41 AM Subject: Re: Is there a manual eject button anywhere on the MBP?

Re: getting an OS back on my MBP, wasgetting MBP ready to sell

Re: weird problem with Numbers
Hi Anne. Here's the best I can explain. When I go into numbers, and I have some files in its list of recently edited files, I first get the layout window. I interact with that with control-option-shift-down arrow. Then I get the list of tables. If I make the mistake of interacting with the wrong one, I sometimes get an older version of the file and sometimes I get weird stuff like letters and/or numbers in the various cells. I have to hunt around, if I can't remember which table is the right one, to get the last saved numbers file. As far as I know, I'm doing the right commands. If not, I hope you can tell me which of these things I am doing wrong.

Re: Copy IPhone contacts to Mac
Hi! I suppose it depends on if the sync contacts has been enabled! When you've got your Iphone connected to Itunes go into the table of things that you can set like music photos and such! And see what you've got set in the contacts section! hth Colin On 16 Sep 2011, at 18:34, Chris Blouch wrote: I thought that happened automagically when you sync the iPhone to the Mac via iTunes.

I'll assume that you have some mac knowledge, but just don't know where to go yet, and in what order. Here you go. First open disk utility, to carefully inspect your current configuration so that you know what you will be changing.. To do this, Go into the finder, say, your desktop, and press command shift u from there. This will open your utilities folder. Here, find disk utility dot app, and open it. In the disk table on the left, interact, and look at your current disk configuration. You need to know a few things before you go do something here. A disk is just a disk, and you cannot use it directly. It needs to have a partition to hold the file system, inside of which you can store files. There are many file systems, one of them is fat32, and another is mac os10 extended journaled. A filesystem lives inside a partition, so the partition is the container for the file system on the disk. From the disk perspective, you first have an empty disk. Then you create a partition on the disk, spanning all or only part of the disk size. As you are creating the new partition, you must choose which file system is going to live inside it, because The partition must be formatted for use with the type of file system that you want to use. In other words, the way you format your partition, becomes a property of the partition. So, on your external usb drive, you can have a fat32 partition, and a mac os10 partition, and you can have 2 separate mac os 10 extended journaled partitions on your internal mac hard

Re: reinstalling lion
Hi Iona, I don't think you need the apple id of the previous owner. However, you do need to get hold of the lion installer app. Which is over 3 gigabytes. Normally, you download this from the app store. Do you have an apple ID of your own yet? If you do, when asked for your apple ID, you can fill in your own, so that lion can be payed for, using your own apple ID. If you don't have one yet, you can create one in each dialog where you are asked for it. You can then put money on to that apple account using either itunes gift cards, attaching your credit card to it, or you can put money on the apple ID by using services like click and buy. Once you have the lion app from the app store, there is a way to burn that onto a dvd. Alternatively, you can put the installer on a usb stick. Either way, you then boot from cd or usb stick, install lion, all with speech support along your way, then perform software updates, and then start to use it by installing apps and putting your own data on it. But now that you still have a mac with someone else's installation, the first thing to do is get hold of the lion installer app. For that, you need an apple account or apple ID. Then you must make sure that you can do purchases with it, and then you can download the lion installer from app store. Let's start with that. If you have questions along the way, just ask. When you have the installer, say so and we can try to help further. Hth, Paul.

Re: weird problem with Numbers
Hello Gigi, Just a thought, in Numbers Preferences, I have Back up previous version when saving Editing: unchecked, as well as Include preview in document by default.

If I make the mistake of interacting with the wrong one, I sometimes get an older version of the file and sometimes I get weird stuff like letters and/or numbers in the various cells.

Re: smart mail boxes
Hi Rachel, That one I know, because I had the same question 2 days ago. A smart mailbox is just a way to group messages together. Say you have a giant inbox, but you only want to see the messages from your class mate because he sends you useful attachments. Then, you can create a smart mailbox. All messages you select will appear there, but a smart mailbox is meant to just do that. It shows your selected messages, as if no other ones were present in your inbox. Deleting a message from the smart mailbox deletes it from inbox and vice versa. If you want to move email out of your inbox, over to another mailbox, then make it a normal one. Create new mailbox. Not a smart one. Then, go to mail preferences, command comma, and go to the rules tab. This is an item in the toolbar of mail preferences that you can click. That is the place to create a new message rule. If the following criteria are met, is the first item It is followed by a scroll area. Interact, and fill in the criteria. From: a special person. Or to: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. Etc. Then stop interacting, move on, and fill in what should happen, once a matching message is found. Move it to the following mailbox: and there you have a pop up button, from which you select your newly created, normal, non smart mailbox. From then on, new messages that match will be moved to your new mailbox because of the message rule. Hth, Paul.

Re: smart mail boxes
Paul, do you know the difference between the smart mailbox and the smart folder? I was just wondering. Rachel. On Sep 16, 2011, at 2:18 PM, Paul Erkens wrote: Hi Rachel, That one I know, because I had the same question 2 days ago. A smart mailbox is just a way to group messages together. Say you have a giant inbox, but you only want to see the messages from your class mate because he sends you useful attachments. Then, you can create a smart mailbox. All messages you select will appear there, but a smart mailbox is meant to just do that. It shows your selected messages, as if no other ones were present in your inbox. Deleting a message from the smart mailbox deletes it from inbox and vice versa. If you want to move email out of your inbox, over to another mailbox, then make it a normal one. Create new mailbox. Not a smart one. Then, go to mail preferences, command comma, and go to the rules tab. This is an item in the toolbar of mail preferences that you can click. That is the place to create a new message rule. If the following criteria are met, is the first item It is followed by a scroll area. Interact, and fill in the criteria. From: a special person. Or to: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. Etc. Then stop interacting, move on, and fill in what should happen, once a matching message is found. Move it to the following mailbox: and there you have a pop up button, from which you select your newly created, normal, non smart mailbox. From then on, new messages that match will be moved to your new mailbox because of the message rule. Hth, Paul.

Re: Fusion 4, Jaws Video Intercept
Hi Keith and others, I have also just upgraded to VM Fusion 4 and all seems well. It is frustrating to have to get new JAWS authorizations and if you are a JAWS user you will use one up by upgrading. So far I have had no trouble getting more authorizations when I've called. The set up on VM Fusion seems a bit different but so far it is pretty easy to understand. I'm not completely adjusted to this new situation where you leave the full screen with Command Control Enter and now end up in a open tool bar. It has the devices in a group and has to be interacted with. I kind of liked the old way where you could just arrow over to the buttons. When I close the tool bar there is a unlabeled button two the right. Does anyone know what that is? I feel like my Windows 7 64 version with JAWS 12 is actually less snappy then it was before the upgrade. Both are running on Lyon. Thanks to Paul's excellent directions on using the key mapping in Vm Fusion I have a much smoother running machine then before. I would recommend following his suggestions about turning off most of the automatic key mapping and such. His directions on creating the needed Insert key was also helpful. I am so pleased that I can enjoy my Mac but when convenient do the few Windows things I need so easily. I had just purchased VM fusion less then 2 weeks ago. There is no refund so buying it now is a much better deal. The free upgrade for me came by getting a new license through a request to support. I then downloaded the program and followed the directions in the update application that came in the DMG. I read that people that are eligible for the free upgrade will get a email with the new license key but it may take up to 30 days. Good luck to everyone updating or starting new. It is very doable but without the help of people on this list I really would not have been successful on my own. Mike's podcast on Blindcooltech.com is very helpful. it would be great for new folks if someone did a updated cons ice walkthrough, especially as there is a new version. Even though it seems simple to most people a step by step walk through would save many people a lot of time and frustration. eric Caron On Sep 14, 2011, at 9:30 PM, Keith Watson wrote: Hi all, Has anyone successfully upgraded to Fusion 4, installed the new Vmware tools and updated their video intercept?

Re: reinstalling lion
Hi Paul and list,Given that the previous owner downloaded the file, would he not have an instaler somewhere on the mac? Regardless, I did sign out of his account in the app store and signed in with mine (I already had one for my iPhone) and searched for lion. unfortunately I could not buy it since it showed a dimmed installed button. I have the sno leopard dvd that came with the mac and I suppose I could erase the drive and install from that and upgrade. Any better way you can think of? assuming I have to do what I outlined above, how do I start? Have to erase first and start the install from dvd? Thanks so much! A very excited newbie. (Sent from my phone) Please check out my new CD at www.ioanagandrabur.com or on itunes. On Sep 16, 2011, at 2:54 PM, Paul Erkens paul.erk...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Iona, I don't think you need the apple id of the previous owner. However, you do need to get hold of the lion installer app. Which is over 3 gigabytes. Normally, you download this from the app store. Do you have an apple ID of your own yet? If you do, when asked for your apple ID, you can fill in your own, so that lion can be payed for, using your own apple ID. If you don't have one yet, you can create one in each dialog where you are asked for it. You can then put money on to that apple account using either itunes gift cards, attaching your credit card to it, or you can put money on the apple ID by using services like click and buy. Once you have the lion app from the app store, there is a way to burn that onto a dvd. Alternatively, you can put the installer on a usb stick. Either way, you then boot from cd or usb stick, install lion, all with speech support along your way, then perform software updates, and then start to use it by installing apps and putting your own data on it. But now that you still have a mac with someone else's installation, the first thing to do is get hold of the lion installer app. For that, you need an apple account or apple ID. Then you must make sure that you can do purchases with it, and then you can download the lion installer from app store. Let's start with that. If you have questions along the way, just ask. When you have the installer, say so and we can try to help further. Hth, Paul.

Just copy the app tothe applications folder, and when you open it, it will ask for the serial number. Much more convenient now that everything is contained in one application.

After that point, I get no sound from the VM at all. I am not positive whether or not it actually restarted but it appears that it probably did. At least fusion seems to think that windows is running. At any rate, if I let it sit for a few minutes, the fan on my Mac starts running at top speed suggesting that the computer is working extremely hard. I booted my system with an earlier SuperDuper clone and of course Window-Eyes ran fine because I was again using fusion 3. I then uninstalled Window-Eyes from that SuperDuper clone and copy the VM without Window-Eyes back to my fusion 4 installation. I then allowed the XP VM to be upgraded by fusion to work with fusion 4. I then ran System Access as the screen reader and it works perfectly. I have not yet decided whether or not I will try installing Window-Eyes but it is possible that Window-Eyes does not like fusion 4. Does anybody have fusion 4 working with Window-Eyes in an XP VM?

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Hi Garth and others, I was very happy to read your comment about writing to Apple about wanting the Caps lock key as the VO modifier I make a point of writing and asking this once a year. If I could use that key I would be able to keep my hands on the home row while using Voice Over commands and be much more productive. This is my strongest criticism of Voice Over. I am glad to know I'm not the only voice asking for Caps lock to be the VO modifier. When I write to them I usually say something like Thank you for this wonderful screen Reader and computer. I really appreciate the care put into its development. However, please add my voice to those asking that the Caps lock key be available as the VO keys. With this option I can keep my hands on the computer home row and use the VO functions. This is much easier and allows me to be more productive.Sincerely Eric Caron I hope others of you will write if you agree that this would be helpful! I'm off to go write my yearly note!

Re: Ripping cps with Amadeus?
Paul, iTunes can be set up to not automatically add to library. I have mine set up that way.

There is a cd with a tutorial. If I rip the tracks from the cd or even open the resulting mp3 file with iTunes, it's going to add that mp3 to my music library for some reason. So, I want to create an mp3 file off of the cd so I can then transfer that to my book sense for listening. Can Amadeus rip those tracks from the cd; or do I need to look for some other program?

It's around page 52 where it explains how to convert tapes and records to CD. First, place and name markers where you want different tracks. Don't forget to put a marker at the very beginning of the file. Then, if it's a two track stereo recording, go the sounds menu and flatten the file. Then go back to the sounds menu and Burn the file to a CD. The option is almost at the bottom of the Sounds menue. Amadeus can automatically put a two second blank spot before every track. Also, the recommendation is that you do all of your editing in the Amadeus format which is true CD quality. Happy recording.

I'm beginning to think that I don't want to do this through iTunes as it appears to add everything opened with it to the library and I wouldn't want a bunch of audio tutorials or books added to my library unless I specifically decided to put it there.

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Yup, like someone mentioned before, it should just be customizable. It make more sense if one could just use the modifier they wished to be their VO key.

If I could use that key I would be able to keep my hands on the home row while using Voice Over commands and be much more productive. This is my strongest criticism of Voice Over. I am glad to know I'm not the only voice asking for Caps lock to be the VO modifier. When I write to them I usually say something like Thank you for this wonderful screen Reader and computer. I really appreciate the care put into its development. However, please add my voice to those asking that the Caps lock key be available as the VO keys. With this option I can keep my hands on the computer home row and use the VO functions. This is much easier and allows me to be more productive.Sincerely Eric Caron I hope others of you will write if you agree that this would be helpful! I'm off to go write my yearly note!

We should definately be able to configure the caps lock as the VO keys. Not because this is the way that other screen readers do it but because it is in my opinion a smart way of having it. The caps lock key is for most people hardly ever used. With googles chrome OS they have changed the caps lock key to a search key because they recognise the waste of space on the keyboard that the caps lock key currently represents On 15/09/2011, at 8:52 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: If you ask me, they should just get rid of the VO command all together. I think just assigning 1 modifier key as your VO key would be a lot more efficient. For example, I rather press caps left or right arrow than control option left or right arrow. Especially since all macs come with a keyboard with only 1 control key by default now.

Re: reinstalling lion
Hi, Ioana, Once the OS is installed, the installer package deletes itself. You could try looking in the applications folder for it on the off-chance it was replaced ther by the previous owner, but it's unlikely to be there. Sorry. Teresa On Sep 16, 2011, at 3:28 PM, Ioana Gandrabur wrote: Hi Paul and list,Given that the previous owner downloaded the file, would he not have an instaler somewhere on the mac? Regardless, I did sign out of his account in the app store and signed in with mine (I already had one for my iPhone) and searched for lion. unfortunately I could not buy it since it showed a dimmed installed button. I have the sno leopard dvd that came with the mac and I suppose I could erase the drive and install from that and upgrade. Any better way you can think of? assuming I have to do what I outlined above, how do I start? Have to erase first and start the install from dvd? Thanks so much! A very excited newbie. (Sent from my phone) Please check out my new CD at www.ioanagandrabur.com or on itunes. On Sep 16, 2011, at 2:54 PM, Paul Erkens paul.erk...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Iona, I don't think you need the apple id of the previous owner. However, you do need to get hold of the lion installer app. Which is over 3 gigabytes. Normally, you download this from the app store. Do you have an apple ID of your own yet? If you do, when asked for your apple ID, you can fill in your own, so that lion can be payed for, using your own apple ID. If you don't have one yet, you can create one in each dialog where you are asked for it. You can then put money on to that apple account using either itunes gift cards, attaching your credit card to it, or you can put money on the apple ID by using services like click and buy. Once you have the lion app from the app store, there is a way to burn that onto a dvd. Alternatively, you can put the installer on a usb stick. Either way, you then boot from cd or usb stick, install lion, all with speech support along your way, then perform software updates, and then start to use it by installing apps and putting your own data on it. But now that you still have a mac with someone else's installation, the first thing to do is get hold of the lion installer app. For that, you need an apple account or apple ID. Then you must make sure that you can do purchases with it, and then you can download the lion installer from app store. Let's start with that. If you have questions along the way, just ask. When you have the installer, say so and we can try to help further. Hth, Paul.

Need help partitioning a disk
Hi. I am trying to partition my 2tb drive into three drives, 2 500gb drives for Windows and one 1tb drive with Mac Journaling for Carbon copy cloner. I have successfully divided the disk into three equal partitions, but can't figure out how to change the size of the partitions and set them to FAT 32 or Mac Extended journaling. I do keep encountering a disk size control, but can't figure out how to access it. I did manage to change the size of one drive one time, but I couldn't get the other two changed and now I am stuck back with three equally sized drives. Any help appreciated.

how much ram/hd space to allocate to virtual win7?
Hello, I am about to install vmware fusion and win7 on my mba for the first time and am wondering how much ram and hdspace to give to win7. Does it immediately take up all the hd space i give to it? I was thinking of giving it 2 gb of ram (i have 4 total) and 20 gb of hd space (i have 128 total). I am not planning to use windows often, only for office and for some internet sites with internet explorer. And possible for playing muds but mushclient does not take up much space. I will need to install a screenreader though. I guess i wont provide any dedicated processor core to win7. oh, is it neccessary to provide the serial number for win7 when doing the vmware fusion windows install wizard or can you do that later like when you install windows normally/natively? thanks in advance Greetings, Anouk, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
