Re: speakable items - system dialogs menu
Yes, so do I, but, if you ever have a sighted friend use your Mac, it will bother them, or, at least, I think it will. when I first got my mac and didn't know about how to see all the opened windows and dialogues, the first time my wife went to use my Mac, she was annoyed about all the opened system dialogues all over the place. As far as I know, when a system dialogue remains opened, the only way for us to know about it is by using window chooser. Anyway, I am just ignoring it too, but, I can't see why it should be there at all! On Aug 1, 2012, at 11:37 PM, Maria From Australia bubbygirl1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. I have it too.

VO Profiles and iCloud
Hello Apple gan boys and girls, How are we all enjoying Mountain Lion? Pretty good huh? Few little bugs? yeah I know, but no show stoppers unlike Lion :) Anyway, enough of the small talk. After installing a fresh clean Mountain Kitty Kat onto my iMac, it suddenly dawned on me damn! I have not backed up my Voiceover profile. This got me thinking, wouldn't it be cool if you could save your VO profile to iCloud? So next time you log into a new Mac with your iCloud account all your favourite VO settings are just there! It would be wonderful if iOS could do the same, and who knows maybe one day Macs and iOS could even share the same profile in the cloud. What do you guys think? Another thing which I have thought of relates to notifications. Half the time I think why is it telling me about mail when I have mail opened in the background anyway? What would be useful is if you could set the notification area to only alert you if you get an email from a VIP. Any thoughts? My final issue relates to the Messages app. I used to have iChat configured to connect to Facebook chat, and when I installed ML over Lion, the setting were transferred from iChat to Messages. Facebook chat under Messages is wonderful. Then I decided to wipe my Mac and put a clean copy of ML on and when I went to set up Facebook chat within Messages, I am having trouble connecting. As far as I am aware I have all the correct settings, but I am constantly offline and when I try to go online I am informed that there was an network connection error to the jabber server. Guess I will have to spend the weekend trying to sort that headache out. Anyway, that's me, tell me about you. :) Chris in the UK trying so hard to skive off work as it is almost the weekend. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

My problem re no windows.
Hello All. I forgot to add one thing having no windows when using ML. Affter a while, Voice Over stops announcing that the application has no windows and works normally. Again if any one can shed a little light, let me know. I do not know if its a bug. Thank you. I am feeling great for a Friday especially as we've had some sun as it rains here too much.

Re: VO Profiles and iCloud
Don't worry, I have done via accessibility@ and also via the feedback feature on their website. But if anyone else wants to do the same, then that might ensure it is considered by Apple in the future. Hope your day is going well. I am bug hunting on our huge website.

Seaking Purchase advice on IPhone car kit
My grandmother has a Hyunda, but trust me, it doesn't have bluetooth ability, nor does it have auxiliary input. All she's got is A M/FM/Sirius XM, Plus a 6 disc dashboard loading CD changer. I can't remember what year it is, but it's not exactly old old old, but it's not new by any stretch either. I think it's like a 2005, or a 2006, somewhere in that neighborhood. Anyway, she does have a cigarette lighter charger port. So, I'm wonderring if anyone may know of a good FM transmitter that I could use for my IPhone 4S 16GB black, through ATT which would let me transmit to an FM frequency which I then could tune her radio to, then listen to my IPhone in the car. We go out practically 2 or 3 times a week for lunch, then of corse, there's the times I have doctor appointments, etc. so I'd love! to be able to listen to my music, or Pandora, etc. over something a little better than the internal IPhone speaker. Don't get me wrong, the internal speaker is incredible! I mean it blows the IPod Touch 3GS and 4G both totally! out of the water, but it's still not the same as going through a full car stereo by any means. I had a little birdy butt transmitter I bought a while back for my old IPod Nano 4th Gen, way back in the days, which costed about 50 bucks, or so, and basically what you had was this little dinky dank thing that plugged into the cigarette lighter charger... obviously, I don't literally mean the cigarette lighter... I'm not stupid... LOL! I mean the charger port thing that looks like a lighter port. You're probably lookin at me go yeah yeah yeah, I gotcha, I know I know, don't worry. LOL! Anyway, so one end plugged in there, then the other end basically was just a cord that plugged into the 8th inch or as some would call it 3.5MM stereo jack on the IPod/IPhone, or whatever had an earphone jack. I found that thing didn't work really well, as for one, the IPhone never was stationary, as nothing held it still. It just kind a sat there either on my lap, or whatever, sometimes in the little glasses compartment. I found that the slightest movement would make the thing fade out though and give a bit of static over the transmition. It was really really annoying. My dad had one that I think he paid about $100 to maybe $130 bucks for, somewhere around there, and if my mom still has it, I may try it out, as that sucker worked incredibly! The sound was so crystal clear, it was unbelievable! The only issue with it is, I dont' think an IPod Touch nor an IPhone would fit in the thing. I think it only held the 4th and 5th gen Nanos. My dad actually got the thing back when the 4th gen Nanos were really hot on the market, so it's pretty old. What I like about it though is, you plugged it in, then it had this metal rod looking arm that protruded out of the thing that you could swivvle around so that it would either face more toward the driver, or the passenger, or it could just be straight dead centered. The other end of it oppisit from the plug, literally was a cradling docking station. So it had, from what I remember, 3 buttons. One to go up in frequency, and one to move it down, plus it had an auto-scan where you push that, and it would scan for the first available frequency with no sound/static. Then you had the cradle where you basically literally docked the IPod/whatever into. That pretty well obviously held it still, plus, like i said, the sound was just out of this world amazing! I don't think I remember even once that the thing staticked nor faded. I need to look to see if my mom kept it. I doubt she did, as most of the stuff in his car I think got sold, after he passed away. If it would hold the IPhone, and we could find it, my issue will be solved, but does anyone know any good cigarette lighter based car FM transmitters I could use? I'm willing to spend say no less than $100 and maybe no more than $150. $150 would be on the high end for me though. I'll do it, but that would be pushing it. For that cost, it darn well better be good. LOL! Would prefer something which actually docks, not something that would use the earphone jack, although if you can promise me it would have good results, I'll try it. I have an open mind.

Re: VO Profiles and iCloud
Hi Chris, My aren't you chatty this morning! :) I completely agree about storing VO profiles in the cloud, that would be way cool. Also agree about the idea of setting notification center to notify you only when you get a message from a VIP. I suspect we'll see interesting developments in both these areas in the future, personally I'm looking forward to being along for the ride. And yes, also loving Mountain Lion, a nice improvement over Lion.

Re: VO Profiles and iCloud
Hey Donna, Trust you are keeping well? I suspect Apple might introduce a notification from VIPs when they get around to adding do not disturb. Well I guess they have to save some features for Snow Monkey. I am still going to keep pestering Apple about adding support for tables in Pages and Text Edit, and to improve support for elements in PDFs. That aside, I am hoping we will be able to edit events in the next update to GarageBand. I hope we don't have to wait another 12 full months though. Right, I best get back to work. Will tackle that Facebook thing over the weekend.

Re: web spots and hotspots?
So I will explain what I understand about these. Web spots are markers you can plus on your own and jump right to on a webpage. For example if there is a certain button or item on a webpage you need to use a lot you can place a web spot and jump right to it. I have the search button as a web spot on YouTube and set up my trackpad so I can jump right to it without switching rotor items. Hot Spots are sort of the same but these you bind to the number keys. After you set them you can just hold VO and press the number of whatever hotspot you want and it will jump right to it. They are similar but the web spots you have to scroll through and the hotspots bind to the numbers. The auto web spots are determined by the mac on it's own. It is supposed to visually organize a webpage and place the items it thinks are the most important visually into that list. I hope this makes sense!

RE: Seaking Purchase advice on IPhone car kit
Hello amazon has just what you want so just do a search for blue tooth transmitters and there they will be hope this helps -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher-Mark gilland Sent: 03 August 2012 10:18 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Seaking Purchase advice on IPhone car kit My grandmother has a Hyunda, but trust me, it doesn't have bluetooth ability, nor does it have auxiliary input. All she's got is A M/FM/Sirius XM, Plus a 6 disc dashboard loading CD changer. I can't remember what year it is, but it's not exactly old old old, but it's not new by any stretch either. I think it's like a 2005, or a 2006, somewhere in that neighborhood. Anyway, she does have a cigarette lighter charger port. So, I'm wonderring if anyone may know of a good FM transmitter that I could use for my IPhone 4S 16GB black, through ATT which would let me transmit to an FM frequency which I then could tune her radio to, then listen to my IPhone in the car. We go out practically 2 or 3 times a week for lunch, then of corse, there's the times I have doctor appointments, etc. so I'd love! to be able to listen to my music, or Pandora, etc. over something a little better than the internal IPhone speaker. Don't get me wrong, the internal speaker is incredible! I mean it blows the IPod Touch 3GS and 4G both totally! out of the water, but it's still not the same as going through a full car stereo by any means. I had a little birdy butt transmitter I bought a while back for my old IPod Nano 4th Gen, way back in the days, which costed about 50 bucks, or so, and basically what you had was this little dinky dank thing that plugged into the cigarette lighter charger... obviously, I don't literally mean the cigarette lighter... I'm not stupid... LOL! I mean the charger port thing that looks like a lighter port. You're probably lookin at me go yeah yeah yeah, I gotcha, I know I know, don't worry. LOL! Anyway, so one end plugged in there, then the other end basically was just a cord that plugged into the 8th inch or as some would call it 3.5MM stereo jack on the IPod/IPhone, or whatever had an earphone jack. I found that thing didn't work really well, as for one, the IPhone never was stationary, as nothing held it still. It just kind a sat there either on my lap, or whatever, sometimes in the little glasses compartment. I found that the slightest movement would make the thing fade out though and give a bit of static over the transmition. It was really really annoying. My dad had one that I think he paid about $100 to maybe $130 bucks for, somewhere around there, and if my mom still has it, I may try it out, as that sucker worked incredibly! The sound was so crystal clear, it was unbelievable! The only issue with it is, I dont' think an IPod Touch nor an IPhone would fit in the thing. I think it only held the 4th and 5th gen Nanos. My dad actually got the thing back when the 4th gen Nanos were really hot on the market, so it's pretty old. What I like about it though is, you plugged it in, then it had this metal rod looking arm that protruded out of the thing that you could swivvle around so that it would either face more toward the driver, or the passenger, or it could just be straight dead centered. The other end of it oppisit from the plug, literally was a cradling docking station. So it had, from what I remember, 3 buttons. One to go up in frequency, and one to move it down, plus it had an auto-scan where you push that, and it would scan for the first available frequency with no sound/static. Then you had the cradle where you basically literally docked the IPod/whatever into. That pretty well obviously held it still, plus, like i said, the sound was just out of this world amazing! I don't think I remember even once that the thing staticked nor faded. I need to look to see if my mom kept it. I doubt she did, as most of the stuff in his car I think got sold, after he passed away. If it would hold the IPhone, and we could find it, my issue will be solved, but does anyone know any good cigarette lighter based car FM transmitters I could use? I'm willing to spend say no less than $100 and maybe no more than $150. $150 would be on the high end for me though. I'll do it, but that would be pushing it. For that cost, it darn well better be good. LOL! Would prefer something which actually docks, not something that would use the earphone jack, although if you can promise me it would have good results, I'll try it. I have an open mind.

Re: New App that sends Growl notifications to Notification Center
Hi everyone. To answer everyone's questions, yes, Voiceover does read the Growl Notifications that are passed to the Notification Center. I think it's a good thing that Growl notifications go to Notification Center because I can easily shut Voiceover up if I don't want it to talk. With Growl the way it is, if you have Voiceover turned off, you have to sit through the whole notification. Sometimes that gets annoying as I have numerous people on Skype with long mood messages. Also to answer Missy's and Christopher's questions. Missy, when I first started Hiss, I did get the empty window you speak of, so I started the program again and found out that my security settings were set to only allow apps from the App Store and well-known developers. I then had to set it up so that it allowed any app to run and then it worked fine. And Christopher, when I ran Hiss for the second time, it gave me a message saying that Growl needs to be not running for it to work. But now it works and all my Growl Notifications are forwarded to Notification Center. I hope that answers everyone's questions.

Album ratings on rateyourmusic.com and allmusic.com inaccessible
Hi listers, When I go to an album's page on rateyourmusic.com, it seems impossible to rate the album using a screen-reader. The section where you select your rating just contains a set of graphics with very confusing labels, and clicking on them doesn't seem to produce meaningful results. The only way I seem able to rate an album is by using the Go section of the website. This can be quite annoying because there can be dozens of versions of an album listed here and there's no easy way to just rate the primary issue of the record. Similarly, the star ratings on allmusic.com now seem to be unreadable except on the iPhone app. I remember the ratings being unreadable back in 2003 when I first found the site. Then they became readable in 2004 when the site was redesigned. Now it seems the powers that be have redesigned the site again and made the graphics unreadable. I would appreciate any information you could offer with either of these sites. Thanks, Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: + Skype has new window!
I just stopped Growl, and before that I removed Skype from its table of applications for which it has set preferences, trying to get this to stop, and that was before I updated Skype. The behavior hasn't changed from before the update. I'll reboot with Growl up and the Skype references changed to see if that fixes it. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Seaking Purchase advice on IPhone car kit
That's not what I need. Did you actually read my e-mail? My grandmother doesn't have bluetooth ability. The only way we can interface this is via cigarette lighter based plug. She doesn't have bluetooth, nor does she have an auxiliary input nor a USB input. This is why it needs to be an FM, not bluetooth transmitter, and needs to interface through her cigarette lighter.

Don't get me wrong, the internal speaker is incredible!

I had a little birdy butt transmitter I bought a while back for my old IPod Nano 4th Gen, way back in the days, which costed about 50 bucks, or so, and basically what you had was this little dinky dank thing that plugged into the cigarette lighter charger... obviously, I don't literally mean the cigarette lighter... I'm not stupid... LOL! I mean the charger port thing that looks like a lighter port. You're probably lookin at me go yeah yeah yeah, I gotcha, I know I know, don't worry. LOL! Anyway, so one end plugged in there, then the other end basically was just a cord that plugged into the 8th inch or as some would call it 3.5MM stereo jack on the IPod/IPhone, or whatever had an earphone jack. I found that thing didn't work really well, as for one, the IPhone never was stationary, as nothing held it still. It just kind a sat there either on my lap, or whatever, sometimes in the little glasses compartment. I found that the slightest movement would make the thing fade out though and give a bit of static over the transmition. It was really really annoying. My dad had one that I think he paid about $100 to maybe $130 bucks for, somewhere around there, and if my mom still has it, I may try it out, as that sucker worked incredibly! The sound was so crystal clear, it was unbelievable! The only issue with it is, I dont' think an IPod Touch nor an IPhone would fit in the thing. I think it only held the 4th and 5th gen Nanos. My dad actually got the thing back when the 4th gen Nanos were really hot on the market, so it's pretty old. What I like about it though is, you plugged it in, then it had this metal rod looking arm that protruded out of the thing that you could swivvle around so that it would either face more toward the driver, or the passenger, or it could just be straight dead centered. The other end of it oppisit from the plug, literally was a cradling docking station. So it had, from what I remember, 3 buttons. One to go up in frequency, and one to move it down, plus it had an auto-scan where you push that, and it would scan for the first available frequency with no sound/static.

Re: + Skype has new window!
*nods* I see that, but now, I have the problem where I removed Skype from Growl's applications table, and can't add it back. *grin* B Before stopping Growl altogether, I tried removing Skype, thinking some of my other apps might want to use Growl. When I continued to hear Skype has new window all the time, I went ahead and stopped Grow. That didn't fix it either, and now we're up to today. *laugh* I guess I'm stuck with it. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: + Skype has new window!
If your directions are correct, I am curious why just turning off visual notifications entirely does not get rid of the Skype has new window announcements. I don't have Growl, so that choice is dimmed in my case. But I unchecked Display visual notifications, and I still get numerous new window announcements. I want them to go away.

Mac mail help
Hi all, I quite often have an issue with my time capsule and my BT hub/modem and I lose my internet/network and can only get it back once I've unplugged the time capsule and plugged it in again. Earlier this week it was gone for several hours before a lot of fighting with it fixed it. Actually I had to go onto BT.com and reset my password (or rather, my dad had to as I couldn't because of audio capture issues) ... Because my iphone had tried to connect to my email three times, and failed, BT blocked me so I had to go in and reset my password ... I had issues when I got it back with my iphone and my mac. On my iphone I seem to have two mailboxes one which seems to refer to my user name kirsten.edmondson and the other which refers to my domain btinternet I think it is similar with my Mac, and when I was trying to input my reset password into my mac mail I found I didn't know what I was doing with mail. I found the get mail button somewhere and pressed and for some reason that got my mail coming in again and it's been fine since then. But I have lost all my emails since before that time ... Although I regularly delete, I like to keep some (those with usernames etc) and now they're all gone. Is there anywhere they are likely to be lurking? Or are they lost forever? Aso, how do I go about changing my mail settings - if needed in future? (I'm used to using outlook and this seems to be so totally different-not that I'm seeking to compare, but thought it might be of use if you knew my background). I think I am using pop3, should I be using that or imap? I wonder if this is the reason for the different mail boxes? One is perhaps imap and the other perhaps pop3? I have no idea which I'm using now, though it looks the same as before except for the missing messages, but might I have inadvertently entered the other one without knowing? I think I did go in somewhere and put in my password, but that made no difference. I feel a bit stupid about this, but I'm quite confused about how to work mail properly and am not sure where to look in the help. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Re: web spots and hotspots?
It does, thanks. I've tried auto webspots a few times, but it never seems to give me any, so I have no idea how good they are.

I have the search button as a web spot on YouTube and set up my trackpad so I can jump right to it without switching rotor items. Hot Spots are sort of the same but these you bind to the number keys. After you set them you can just hold VO and press the number of whatever hotspot you want and it will jump right to it. They are similar but the web spots you have to scroll through and the hotspots bind to the numbers. The auto web spots are determined by the mac on it's own.

time machine help
Hi, My time capsule came unplugged. I plugged it in again and it seemed to be ok, but when I went to the time machine menu the configured icon was dimmed. I've found my disk but it now says it cannot connect to the time machine server and that it can't find my backup disk. I'm going to go onto mv archives as I'm sure there will be something in there that will help me, but any immediate advice on how to get my time capsule, time machine and my mbp talking together would be much appreciated.

Microsoft Outlook web access and Safari
Hi everyone! In order to check my work email when I'm out of the office, I have to use MS Outlook web access. On Windows, I can select either a premium or basic radio button when logging in. The basic view is much more accessible. Unfortunately, I'm not able to access these radio buttons on the Mac. It's as though Safari skips over them. I really would rather not boot into windows every time I want to quickly look at my work email. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know people had previously talked about installing Chrome. Is it still VO accessible or do I need to install ChromeVox? I've also heard mention of something called Webkit. Is that some kind of Safari extension? Forgive my ignorance on this matter, but I'm very new to the world of extensions and the like. Might this webkit provide a solution? Thanks so much.

In order to check my work email when I'm out of the office, I have to use MS Outlook web access. On Windows, I can select either a premium or basic radio button when logging in. The basic view is much more accessible. Unfortunately, I'm not able to access these radio buttons on the Mac. It's as though Safari skips over them. I really would rather not boot into windows every time I want to quickly look at my work email. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know people had previously talked about installing Chrome. Is it still VO accessible or do I need to install ChromeVox? I've also heard mention of something called Webkit. Is that some kind of Safari extension? Forgive my ignorance on this matter, but I'm very new to the world of extensions and the like. Might this webkit provide a solution? Thanks so much.

Re: anyone ever used winonx?
Now that's interesting. Please do let us know what you find out. Thanks.

The advantage to winonx is that you don't need windows, just the windows program you want to run, so no licenses or million-character codes to mess with.

Depending on how much you value your time, it might be better just paying a bit more for Fusion (about $40) which has an accessible UI and there are a lot of tips in this email archive on making it work well with Jaws/VO. You can also play with Virtualbox which is free.

I wondered if anyone here has tried this app, and, if so, how it worked for you. Any information would be great. Mostly I want to run my audio games on the mac, as that is really all I use windows for anymore, but I also don't want to blow $5 on an app that won't support anything I want to run.

Re: Microsoft Outlook web access and Safari
Apple mail does support exchange. I'm assuming that your work account is probably an exchange account, so you could probably set it up in Apple mail, if they're using exchange 2007 or later.

Re: + Skype has new window!
Yes, in fact, that's precisely what I have it doing now--using the system voice to announce status changes. After every time this is announced, or if message from Rachel, or whomever, is spoken, VO speaks up about the new window. It's not a Growl issue at all, apparently. nor a visual notifications issue. Quite odd. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Mac mail help
Hi kirsten, i'd say that Apple mail is one of the best mail clients i've used. I'd used outlook 2003 for a while, but didn't really like it, that was back when i was on Windows though.

Re: Mac mail help
Well, the btinternet account sounds like an ISP provided account. Not sure if your ISP provides iMap, POP3, or both. Most ISP provided email is Pop3 though. You might want to call your ISP and check to see wihcih they support. If I have multiple devices, say a Mac, and an iPhone for example, iMap would be better to use.

Re: Mac mail help
I was wondering if it should be pop3 on my mac, that way the mails would stay, and imap on my 4s and ipad? Does that sound the wrong way round? As I only seem to have the imap version, would I need to add a new account if I wanted to create, or recreate the pop3 version? Don't want to mess up my email, but it seems odd that all the messages I was keeping just went when I went to put in my password ... Thanks.

Actually I had to go onto BT.com and reset my password (or rather, my dad had to as I couldn't because of audio capture issues) ... Because my iphone had tried to connect to my email three times, and failed, BT blocked me so I had to go in and reset my password ... I had issues when I got it back with my iphone and my mac. On my iphone I seem to have two mailboxes one which seems to refer to my user name kirsten.edmondson and the other which refers to my domain btinternet I think it is similar with my Mac, and when I was trying to input my reset password into my mac mail I found I didn't know what I was doing with mail. I found the get mail button somewhere and pressed and for some reason that got my mail coming in again and it's been fine since then. But I have lost all my emails since before that time ... Although I regularly delete, I like to keep some (those with usernames etc) and now they're all gone. Is there anywhere they are likely to be lurking? Or are they lost forever? Aso, how do I go about changing my mail settings - if needed in future? (I'm used to using outlook and this seems to be so totally different-not that I'm seeking to compare, but thought it might be of use if you knew my background). I think I am using pop3, should I be using that or imap? I wonder if this is the reason for the different mail boxes? One is perhaps imap and the other perhaps pop3? I have no idea which I'm using now, though it looks the same as before except for the missing messages, but might I have inadvertently entered the other one without knowing? I think I did go in somewhere and put in my password, but that made no difference. I feel a bit stupid about this, but I'm quite confused about how to work mail properly and am not sure where to look in the help. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Re: time machine sorted was time machine help
Hi, As subject says, I think I have managed to sort out my tm issue. Not sure how, but got it to come up with my password and did a bit of wire jiggling and now it's done a successful full backup! Fingers crossed that it keeps working! I sadly have to say, I have a house full of Apple products, all of which I love, except my time capsule, it seems to cause me no end of trouble, and seems to die and drop off the network, or conflict with my network or break my network at least once a month! :( Such a shame when it cost £250 ... on principle I refuse to get rid of it, as it was a christmas present from my ex-boyfriend ... though perhaps it just reflects our poor quality relationship as was ... :( On 3 Aug 2012, at 22:12, Kirsten Edmondson wrote: Hi, My time capsule came unplugged.

VoiceOver not reading characters when quick nav is off
Hi all, Since Mountain Lion, a strange issue has been occurring with voiceover. When I'm perusing an edit field, I can vo right or left arrow to go backward or forward by words. However, if I wish to edit something, with quick nav off, I should theoretically be able to press just left or right arrow to go via character. Instead i get no speech, and the cursor seems not to move. Switching quick nav on and off again sometimes remedies it, but I find I have to fiddle with it before it resumes normal behavior. Any idea why this is and how I could fix it to be responsive and work as expected? Thanks, Rachel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Weird Mail Rules issue
Hi, guys, I have set a rule for the Mac Visionaries group, but it doesn't seem to work the greatest. I set the rule to have messages sent to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com be moved to the Mac Visionaries folder, and it put that folder in my Google mail list for some reason. The issue is that I see some messages in the Important mailbox, some in the Mac Visionaries group, but not all, I don't think, and then there's the All Mail mailbox for Google. Ideally, I would like to have all messages go to the Mac Visionaries folder and have that folder just above my Gmail account. I really don't have any use for the All Mail, Important, the Google sent items folder under Google Mail, etc. It just seems like a lot of duplication. Any advice about how to get this sorted, including moving the mailbox, would be very much appreciated.

Bootcamp questions
Hi everyone! I just want to ask clarification on a few questions I have about Bootcamp. To the best of my knowledge, creating a bootcamp partition is not accessible without sighted assistance, nor is installing Windows once the partition has been created. Are these assertions correct? I know that it would just be easier to install windows on a virtual machine. However, I've played with VMWare fusion, and I'm just not a fan of virtual machines. When I'm running Windows, I want all of my system resources devoted to Windows. Thanks so much.

I also know almost beyond a doubt that preview will not do the trick either. Someone correct me should I be wrong. I almost wonder if Pages would be able to do the trick.

I have the search button as a web spot on YouTube and set up my trackpad so I can jump right to it without switching rotor items. Hot Spots are sort of the same but these you bind to the number keys. After you set them you can just hold VO and press the number of whatever hotspot you want and it will jump right to it. They are similar but the web spots you have to scroll through and the hotspots bind to the numbers. The auto web spots are determined by the mac on it's own. It is supposed to visually organize a webpage and place the items it thinks are the most important visually into that list. I hope this makes sense!

All, While using the speech recognition the command Make this item speakable while on an application or document will give you the ability to assign it a voice command to open it. After you do that you can open the speakable items list and change the text to whatever you want.

Re: merging several PDF files into one.
I dont' mind terminal at all, but I don't have Skim, being that I use Docuscan Plus. Chris. - Original Message - From: Esther mori...@mac-access.net To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 9:43 PM Subject: Re: merging several PDF files into one. Hi Chris, It's actually possible to merge PDF files with Preview if you can drag and drop to the thumbnails in the sidebar, but I don't think this works with VoiceOver drag and drop -- at the very least it would be difficult. If you have Skim downloaded there's an embedded SkimPDF command line tool that lets you perform operations like merging and extracting PDF files in Terminal. If you look under: /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ there are three applications: displayline, skimnotes, and skimpdf. You need to copy skimpdf to somewhere in your default path with executable permission using your Admin password. Open Terminal and type or paste in: sudo cp -p /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/skimpdf /usr/bin/ and press Return. You'll be prompted to authorize with your Admin password. The cp -p does the copy preserving permissions so you can execute the commands. Then to merge two pdf files from the command line you can type: skimpdf merge file1.pdf file2.pdf merged.pdf The specification of an output file like merged.pdf is optional. I think if you don't specify an output file, the second file just gets appended to the first, but you should experiment. You can also find out the syntax of commands by typing: skimpdf help For more information, take a look at the SourceForge wiki for Skim: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=Main_Page Then use the link for the SkimPDF Command Line Tool to find out more. There's also a specific SourceForge wiki for the SkimPDF command line tool: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=SkimPDF_Tool There are probably other sources of merge tools around the web, but this works if you already have Skim anyway, and are comfortable with the Terminal command line.

I also know almost beyond a doubt that preview will not do the trick either. Someone correct me should I be wrong. I almost wonder if Pages would be able to do the trick. I do have a copy of iWork 2009. thank you for any help, and all suggestions. Chris.

RE: Microsoft Outlook web access and Safari
Which version of Outlook Web Access are you using? The only radio button I see is the one for public versus private computer. There is a checkbox to turn on the lite version of OWA and that works fine for me in Safari. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Allison Mervis Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 4:21 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Microsoft Outlook web access and Safari I work for the state, so they won't let me configure my mail in any clients.

In order to check my work email when I'm out of the office, I have to use MS Outlook web access. On Windows, I can select either a premium or basic radio button when logging in. The basic view is much more accessible. Unfortunately, I'm not able to access these radio buttons on the Mac. It's as though Safari skips over them. I really would rather not boot into windows every time I want to quickly look at my work email. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know people had previously talked about installing Chrome. Is it still VO accessible or do I need to install ChromeVox? I've also heard mention of something called Webkit. Is that some kind of Safari extension? Forgive my ignorance on this matter, but I'm very new to the world of extensions and the like. Might this webkit provide a solution? Thanks so much.

Another bootcamp question.
Hi everyone. Assuming that I can create a bootcamp partition without sighted assistance, couldn't I then create an unattended install of Windows and get it installed that way? I'm fishing for solutions here, as sighted assistance is a bit hard to come by. Thanks! Allison -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Microsoft Outlook web access and Safari
Hi jeff. It doesn't give me a version number, but it tells me that it's powered by Microsoft Exchange server version 2003. Leave it to the government to be ten years behind the times. Lol. The check box you mentioned is nowhere to be found on my page, but thanks for the suggestion.

Dowloading VLC
Hi folks, I've got the link for the VLC page, but don't know which version to download. I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with 4 GB ram. Should I download the 32 bit or 64 bit version? I just don't want to mess things up by trying to install the wrong one. Thanks. Lisette -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

The mac and security
Hi everyone. I have a subscription to Eset Smart Security for Mac, but I'm wondering whether or not I should bother renewing it. As long as you stay away from questionable websites, it doesn't seem like the mac is very vulnerable to attack. I would rather not spend the money on renewing if it isn't going to do anything. What do you all think about security on the mac? If you really think some kind of protection is necessary, are there free solutions which work just as well? Thanks!
