Re: Awe, how coot! Look at the perty little Apple. Not?
Lol Chris I can't help with your problem but if you ever decide to upgrade to a MBA then you will still have a glowing white apple on the back of your screen. The good thing is though, on the MBA the same back light sir does both the screen and the glowing apple..

Yes I was kind a kidding in the subject, but this actually is a true legitimate question, I swear. LOL! So, I can't speak for the macbook airs, nor for the macbook pros of any flavor, but I know at least that on the white polly-carbon standard macbooks, if you look on the back of the screen, pretty much about in the dead smack center, you're gonna feel ingraved cut into the plastic, a very tactal outline of an apple. I know, you're probably going, yeah? so? Here's the catch. I dono if yall knew this, but, I have a bit more vision than just light preception. I can't read the screen, not even close, but I can see shape, color, light, and sometimes depending on the setting, even some very noticeable facial expressions, so I'd say my vision loss is pretty significant, yes, but nowhere near total, thank God. With this said, I dono if yall knew this, but as long as the macbook's screen is up... opened rather, and as long as the system is on, who cares if you're booted or if you have a crashed paper weight, God forbid, bottom line is, as long as it's opened and the unit is powered on, that apple actually lights up. No, I'm seriously not? kidding! Ask a sighted person if ya don't believe me. And believe me, it's pretty much as bright as the screen would be at 100%. Even hitting fn+F1 (as my keys are set to software by default, not hardware...), to dim the screen, that doesn't decrease the brightness of the l e d in that apple. So aside taking a drum set stick and going kurbango, Sm'm'mash! w'w'wack, on the thing... ok, I'm kidding, LOL! Seriously though... is there a way less distructively, LOL! to somehow use a 3rd party app, or maybe something to modify the efi and allow me to have that stupid thing that does us blinks no good aside draining our batteries quicker, not light up at all? Honestly, it's driving me crazy! Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: there's an update to Mountain Lion available
Hi guys. I have noticed one improvement with this update. Just now, I used Numbers, and my fan didn't turn itself on and my Mac didn't get all warm. Before, it was getting pretty warm by the keyboard. I am hoping the next update will fix the severe delay I am having when editing cells in large files. I'll bet this is a VoiceOver thing.

VMware Fusion
Hello all. Really getting on well with my Macbook Pro 13 Inch. I have installed VMware Fusion 5 last night and am giving it a test drive before considering to purchase it for times when I want to use Windows. Now my question is how on earth do I use the caps lock key in the virtual machine? Asking as I have installed NVDA and have set it to use the laptop keyboard layout. The caps lock is simply being ignored and is therefore sent to the host. Is it true that I need to remap some keys? If so how is this done? All help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: 1password accessibility
Hi Robert, Thanks a lot for your answer. This will be useful later on. I would like to understand one more thing for now. I seem to have succeeded in storing one of my passwords inside 1password. While filling in a password on a site that 1password was not aware of, a 1password dialog came up, asking me if I wanted to save this login for later. That was the first time I saw the 1password safari extension do something at all, that VoiceOver caught and spoke, so that is good news to begin with. After having answered save, I was in, of course, because I myself gave the right password. But here's the problem. As I understand it, there's a list of saved logins somewhere in 1password, where you can click a site, and be logged in right away. 1. Where is this thing located? In the extension, or in the 1password app? Clicking on a login inside the app lets me rename it, but not carry it out. In the extension, I don't find such a list. 2. Is this the way you go about logging in to sites, using the 1password logins list? 3. Alternatively, You wrote that if you go to a site where you want to be logged in, and you are on the page where the site asks your credentials, then you hit command backslash to be logged in. Is this correct at all? If I try this, nothing happens, and I still need to fill in the password myself. Am I overlooking something? I verified through the 1password app, that this very password for this very site is indeed stored, and it was captured automatically as described above. Is hitting command backslash on a login page enough to have 1password do its thing? Seems, not on my machine. Very interested to hear back on this, if you have any tips at all. Thanks in advance for the time you have been taking to help me out with this. It is very much appreciated. Paul.

Making that assumption, here is how I would proceed. 1. Open 1password go to file menu, down arrow to new item and press right arrow to expand it. 2. Down arrow to new password and press enter to open the dialogue. 3. Use VO right arrow and you will see that 1password has generated a strong password in this dialogue. 4. VO right arrow past the password and use VO space on the copy button to put the password on the clipboard. 5. Open TextEdit and paste the password in to a blank document. I do this because 1password only keeps the generated password on the clipboard for 90 seconds or whatever you have it set to. 6. Highlight the password that is now in text edit and copy it to the clipboard. This way you don't have to worry about it disappearing from the clipboard. 7. Open safari and go to the site where you want to change the password. Get to the point on the site where you are being asked for the new password and paste it in from the clipboard. 8. Go back to 1password, to your logins and locate the login information for the site that you just changed the password for. 9. Interact with the scroll area in 1password and use VO right arrow to navigate to the password field. Assuming that you have show passwords checked in the view menu, you will see your old password for the site. Press command e to allow you to edit this entry. Delete it and paste in the new password that is still on the clipboard. 10. Press command e again to tell 1password that you are finished editing. You now have the password changed on the site and also updated in 1password. You can trash the text edit document and all is now right with the world.

Re: Awe, how coot! Look at the perty little Apple. Not?
And for just a bit of history, prior to the G4 powerbook all the logos were upside down.

Re: Really frustrated with Mail! For real this time!
Are you certain of your settings? Sometimes, an isp will change port numbers or security settings and you may miss the memo, which can cause previous settings to stop working. I know this isn't quite the problem you are having, but it's all I can think of. Tripple check your pop and smtp ports, security, authentication, and even username settings (that is, does the username need to be just the first part of your address or the whole thing). Hope this helps somewhat. For what it's worth, I use gmail via imap and have no trouble at all. On 8/24/12, christopher hallsworth christopher...@gmail.com wrote: I can't say I am.

I can't believe this issue is back. I'm so not happy right now. When I first got this Macbook air, I was using pop mail. I had a ton of trouble sending mail. It would come up and tell me it couldn't use the current sender. Everything pointed to a bug in apple mail that they said they couldn't duplicate consistantly enough to fix. The fix was to change to imap. So I put the macbook awy till I learned about imap and made the switch. It worked great for awhile. And now tonight, it's back to not being able to send again. I actually had to save my last message in drafts and go to my windows computer in order to send it. I know it's not a problem with my provider or my settings because I went through this way too many times. How can I count on this thing for email use when I'm traveling if this old buggaboo is back? It makes me very sad in a way. Is anyone else here having this experience. Thanks a bunch.

Re: voices for the mack?
Yes, the quality of the pitch change is really bad, making Serena sound either like a female voice through a tape player with low batteries or one set on high speed (though the speed remains constant, it's just the pitch that goes crazy). My fondest wish for the mac is still eSpeak, but I suppose it'd be impossible to make a voice for the mac... or would it? Hmm, research to keep me busy this weekend...

Re: Fleksy
Hello everyone, Donna sort of brings up a point that would interest me. How do you actually enter a word within Fleksy that isn't in its dictionary? Is there a way to force the App to let you enter a word in the usual way? Although I write lots of stuff on my iPhone in English, I sometimes need to enter names of restaurants, etc., whose names are German. Thanks and happy fleksing!

It may well be just that I need to put some time into getting used to it, but unfortunately, time is one thing I don't have a lot of right now, what with a recent move and a new job.

You spend a few years listening for a key, and with this app, the key is to quickly tap in the general direction of the key, and continue on. I still hesitate some when tiping, it's just habit. To get the best results is to try to tap the keys as fast as you can, and let Fleksy do it's work and guess the word.

The great thing is that even if it doesn't guess the right word, you can flick down to get other suggestions. Unless the word isn't in its built-in dictionary, the word you want will most definitely be there. That is why you can just wildly guess, touching somewhere in the general vicinity of the letter but not really carrying how close it is, because that's enough to get the word to come up. Now I'm able to text just as fast, I think, as a sighted user. Did you read the full instructions? That may be useful.

Re: Editing software for the mac
Hi CB, Wow this sounds very cool. how can one manipulate audio from the command line? Can you play audio, set markers interactively, nodge markers, cut copy and paste, mix tracks etc? The idea is interesting. How is this done? If you want to perform whatever function on a file, like mp3ing, normalizing, or applying whatever preset effect, that is rather straight forward as far as I understand, because all graphical tools are a shell around that type of core activity. But can you also delete a bit of audio from a file, if you don't know the start and end times yet, i.e. it being interactive? Paul.

installing Windows in Fusion (was: a new little thing about Mountain Lion)

It looks like it will run, but only as a stand-alone utility that you can pass strings to to have them spoken.

Re: trying to update Flash player - problem solved
Hi Donna, Here's a tip for next time you update flash. After pressing tab to get to the correct button, using VO+space doesn't work as expected. You need to simply press only the space bar. It's weird, but for some reason that's how it works in this particular installer. I got to this thread too late to help you this time, but this should explain what the problem was. I found this out by pressing everything I could think of until something worked. Took me a few updates to be sure what the answer was.

Re: Editing software for the mac
Easiest thing is to check out their documentation: http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Documentation You can ignore all the installation stuff since you'd probably just do it through macports. That said, it's all parameters you type on a command line. Sox adds three new commands - sox, play rec. Play and Rec are just aliases to Sox with parameters to set it to play or record so you really could do everything with just sox. So, for example, if I want to play two files one after another I would type sox filename.mp3 filename2.mp3 -d which is the same as play filename.mp3 filename2.mp3 or to play everything in a folder play mystuff/*.mp3 It's not interactive, it's all parameters. So to play the first 10 seconds of a track you would do play filename.mp3 trim 0 0:10 To concatenate two audio files sox file1.mp3 file2.mp3 outputfile.mp3 To play them at the same time play -m file1.mp3 file2.mp3 To play a file faster play file1.mp3 speed 1.25 and on and on with infinite combinations. CB On 8/24/12 11:05 AM, Paul Erkens wrote: Hi CB, Wow this sounds very cool. how can one manipulate audio from the command line? Can you play audio, set markers interactively, nodge markers, cut copy and paste, mix tracks etc? The idea is interesting. How is this done? If you want to perform whatever function on a file, like mp3ing, normalizing, or applying whatever preset effect, that is rather straight forward as far as I understand, because all graphical tools are a shell around that type of core activity. But can you also delete a bit of audio from a file, if you don't know the start and end times yet, i.e. it being interactive? Paul. On Aug 24, 2012, at 4:59 PM, Chris Blouch cblo...@aol.com wrote: You should be able to do that in Garage Band. If you're good with the Terminal you can try installing the MacPorts version of the Sox package which lets you do all kinds of audio manipulation from the command line.

Re: voices for the mack?
They have actually ported ESpeak, but I don't think they got it where it works with Voiceover. I think it only seems to work with it's own little utility that you run through Terminal.

Re: Really frustrated with Mail! For real this time!
Likewise, I have never had any issues sending messages from Mail in Lion or Mountain Lion. I use gmail with IMAP to receive and of course SMTP to send. The only thing I have ever experienced is I usually hear a swush sound when messages are being sent and sometimes, I'll do the send with Command-Shift-D and not hear the sound; makes me wonder if the message didn't get sent but yet no errors popped up either. I just chock those up to flukes or something. On 8/24/12, Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com wrote: Are you certain of your settings? Sometimes, an isp will change port numbers or security settings and you may miss the memo, which can cause previous settings to stop working. I know this isn't quite the problem you are having, but it's all I can think of. Tripple check your pop and smtp ports, security, authentication, and even username settings (that is, does the username need to be just the first part of your address or the whole thing). Hope this helps somewhat. For what it's worth, I use gmail via imap and have no trouble at all. On 8/24/12, christopher hallsworth christopher...@gmail.com wrote: I can't say I am.

I bought the protective shell separately. You can get virtually any color you want from Amazon. They're around $20, and I think the quality is outstanding.

Re: trying to update Flash player - problem solved
Well, I'm sure striking out trying to update flash player myself. I go to adobesystems.com and find flash. It comes up to the point where I find the download page and it shows the correct operating system. But clicking the download link does nothing. I land on a page where I have tried tabbing as well as just reading the page with VO and arrow keys. It says that the download should have started automatically, but it doesn't. Clicking the link for those who have trouble seems to get me nothing but that stupid, did you get what you came for? I'd love to know how the rest of you are getting it done. Thanks.

Another reason why ESpeak doesn't need to be ported on the Mac is that most people on here, not everyone, can't stand robotic voices. I for one hate both Eloquence and ESpeak because they're too robotic. DECTalk I can handle, but I would rather have a human sounding voice like Samantha from Nuance or Tracy from Acapela read stuff to me. Lagging isn't an issue for me, as long as the voice sounds good, that's all that matters. Robots don't belong on the Mac.

Mac observation
Hello all. Had the mac for 4 days now and absolutely love it. Oh why did I not switch earlier :) My observation is I am no where near afraid of trying apps compared to being slightly so under the other OS. For example I know that a mac app is most likely to be accessible. With the other OS it is hit and miss. What are your thoughts on this? I also love the intuitiveness as well. Once I have learnt a keystroke, I know it is going to work across the board. Again what are your thoughts on this? Look forward to any comments on this.

Hi, Laughs. I'd just like to say you're awesome for referring to Windows as 'the other OS. It makes me smile. I agree, though, for the most part, mac apps are going to be accessible, but you're still going to find the ones that aren't. However, unlike that other OS, it's really easy to talk to a developer about them possibly fixing issues. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of christopher hallsworth Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 1:35 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Mac observation Hello all.

Re: removing Carbon coppy Cloner
Hi, If I'm not sure whether or not an application is leaving files behind when simply deleting its dot app component from my applications folder, I use app zapper. It looks for related files and gets rid of those as well. It costs I think it was some 15 dollars but it works. Not everything on the screen is accessible, but enough to get the job done. Hth, Paul.

Re: installing Windows in Fusion (was: a new little thing about Mountain Lion)
When creating the virtual machine, fusion will give you the option to use an ISO image as your install source.

Help No Way To Switch to Old Google Groups
Does anyone have the link to switch to the old Google Groups. It blows my mind how impossible it is to navigate this thread in the new google groups. I found the help page on Google and have clicked switch to the old google groups ten times, and it still will not switch. Additionally, under new google groups it says click question mark to learn the keyboard shortcuts, and of course clicking question mark on the keyboard does nothing and I cannot find any in page link of a question mark to click. I HATE GOOGLE, and am getting to the point where I may quit using any google product and switch to yahoo, as I have not spent three hours trying to fugure this out. In my opinion, Google and Facebook are making zero effort to meet any kind of accessibility standards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Fusion 5.
Where can one find this version on the site? After much digging I was able to find 5.0, but for some reason VMWare was still trying to charge me $49.99, the same price it showed for upgrading to Professional. Is there some trick to receiving the 50% cheaper price? Is it cheaper to upgrade as opposed to buying a new version from scratch? If so, perhaps I was on the wrong page, or needed to enter my license code somewhere so that I'd receive the upgrade price. I'm currently running version 4. I've found the site to be quite a nightmare in terms of finding the information I need, and any tips would be appreciated.

Hi Veronica. 1. go into System prefs. 2. Press Tab to get to the Tabs list. 3. Right arrow over to Other. 4. If Flash is installed, it should show up there. Press Enter. 5. In the Flash Tab, you'll see the option Check for Updates. Press Enter. 6. I think it's at this point that you'll see the Flash installation manager.

Re: Help No Way To Switch to Old Google Groups
Ok, so amazingly after four hours I finally got MacVisionaries to some how display in the old google groups. Not sure how it just changed back all of the sudden. Does anyone know where this settings link is to use the old google groups or where one can find a list of all these keyboard shortcuts to use with the new google groups? Also, can you use these keyboard shortcuts in safari or just chrome? I can't imagine that I am the only having so much difficulty navigating this group On Aug 24, 4:59 pm, Brian Fischler blindga...@gmail.com wrote: Does anyone have the link to switch to the old Google Groups. It blows my mind how impossible it is to navigate this thread in the new google groups. I found the help page on Google and have clicked switch to the old google groups ten times, and it still will not switch. Additionally, under new google groups it says click question mark to learn the keyboard shortcuts, and of course clicking question mark on the keyboard does nothing and I cannot find any in page link of a question mark to click. I HATE GOOGLE, and am getting to the point where I may quit using any google product and switch to yahoo, as I have not spent three hours trying to fugure this out.

Re: ML .1, first look.
Veronica, I think I was having the same problem. When I would load a new tab in safari it would first want me to interact with the html content instead of going directly into interacting with the page. This has happened to me several times, and I have spoken to Apple about it, but I also figured out how to fix it, and you will not believe what did it. Turn VO off with a Command F5 then toggle it back on with Command F5, now go back to safari and see if when you load a new tab if it will start interacting with the html content instead of you having to first hit VO shift down arrow to interact. Hope this solves it, let us know. This seems to happen to me a few times a week On Aug 23, 7:46 pm, Veronica Elsea veron...@laurelcreekmusic.com wrote: Hi everyone!

Clamx verses Sophos
Okay, I realize this is a very subjective thing; but, I wish to hav the opinions of the group in general. Which is more accessible; Clamx or Sophos for Anti virus? Also, which is less prone to crashing? I realize, of course, that not everybody will have the same opinion; but, I felt it was prudent to obtain the general feeling of the group with regard to these two apps. I'm not trying to ask the group to make my decition for me; that would, of course, be stupid and impossible anyhow. Just wanted the general feeling you know.

Re: 1password accessibility
Hi Paul, You are correct, if the 1password safari extension is working properly, when you are on a website that 1password has login information stored for, simply pressing command+backslash causes 1password to automatically fill in the username, password and automatically log you in to the site. I would encourage you to check the 1password login entry for the site that got automatically generated and make sure that both the username and password are filled in. With 1password in focus, pressing command+shift+l will put you in the window where the list of logins that you have created and stored in 1password will be displayed. Robert On Aug 24, 2012, at 8:03 AM, Paul Erkens paul.erk...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Robert, Thanks a lot for your answer. This will be useful later on. I would like to understand one more thing for now. I seem to have succeeded in storing one of my passwords inside 1password. While filling in a password on a site that 1password was not aware of, a 1password dialog came up, asking me if I wanted to save this login for later. That was the first time I saw the 1password safari extension do something at all, that VoiceOver caught and spoke, so that is good news to begin with. After having answered save, I was in, of course, because I myself gave the right password. But here's the problem. As I understand it, there's a list of saved logins somewhere in 1password, where you can click a site, and be logged in right away. 1. Where is this thing located? In the extension, or in the 1password app? Clicking on a login inside the app lets me rename it, but not carry it out. In the extension, I don't find such a list. 2. Is this the way you go about logging in to sites, using the 1password logins list? 3. Alternatively, You wrote that if you go to a site where you want to be logged in, and you are on the page where the site asks your credentials, then you hit command backslash to be logged in. Is this correct at all? If I try this, nothing happens, and I still need to fill in the password myself. Am I overlooking something? I verified through the 1password app, that this very password for this very site is indeed stored, and it was captured automatically as described above. Is hitting command backslash on a login page enough to have 1password do its thing? Seems, not on my machine. Very interested to hear back on this, if you have any tips at all. Thanks in advance for the time you have been taking to help me out with this. It is very much appreciated. Paul.

Making that assumption, here is how I would proceed. 1. Open 1password go to file menu, down arrow to new item and press right arrow to expand it. 2. Down arrow to new password and press enter to open the dialogue. 3. Use VO right arrow and you will see that 1password has generated a strong password in this dialogue. 4. VO right arrow past the password and use VO space on the copy button to put the password on the clipboard. 5. Open TextEdit and paste the password in to a blank document. I do this because 1password only keeps the generated password on the clipboard for 90 seconds or whatever you have it set to. 6. Highlight the password that is now in text edit and copy it to the clipboard. This way you don't have to worry about it disappearing from the clipboard. 7. Open safari and go to the site where you want to change the password. Get to the point on the site where you are being asked for the new password and paste it in from the clipboard. 8. Go back to 1password, to your logins and locate the login information for the site that you just changed the password for. 9. Interact with the scroll area in 1password and use VO right arrow to navigate to the password field. Assuming that you have show passwords checked in the view menu, you will see your old password for the site. Press command e to allow you to edit this entry. Delete it and paste in the new password that is still on the clipboard. 10. Press command e again to tell 1password that you are finished editing. You now have the password changed on the site and also updated in 1password. You can trash the text edit document and all is now right with the world.

Upgrading to Fusion 5
Hi, I am attempting to upgrade to fusion 5 from fusion 4. When I get logged in, my license key shows up and I am shown the upgrade but when I click on add to cart, nothing gets added to my cart. I have tried vo+space, routing the mouse to the button and clicking it and single and double clicking the mouse with vo+shift+space. Nothing seems to be activating the add to cart button. Have any of you who has purchased the fusion upgrade experienced this? Did you find a work around?

Re: ML .1, first look.
Oh man! Well, just like last night's little trial, this one works once. If I want to use Safari without having to interact myself again, it's reboot time. So, reboot every internet session. Reboot every mail session. I tell you, I'm about ready to toss this Mackbook inAir our neighborhood yard sale. I'm trying to believe that the rest of you do serious and interesting things with your Macs, but this one is just driving me crazy. I don't know how to completely wipe the system on a Macbook air and do a clean install, as I have no external disks yet. I'm sure there's something I could do with a USB something, but I wish I could believe that this would sort me out. Till then, I'll head into my studio and play with my old system 9 Mac and my Windows 7 computer. Sheesh! Maybe I'll see if there's really someone at one of the bay area apple stores who might know something about VO like they claim. Anyway, thanks for listening. I really want this thing to work out, I really do. But I'm not impressed at the moment.

Re: Fleksy
Hi, yes I tend to touch very lightly when in this mode because the focus really does move around quite easily. Thankfully I don't have to use it for much. A suggestion might be to add frequently used words to the dictionary before you use the program so that it will know and use them already. hth Tammy -Original Message- From: Jamie Tachiyama Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 11:41 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Fleksy It is true that you can enter things this way.

How do you actually enter a word within Fleksy that isn't in its dictionary? Is there a way to force the App to let you enter a word in the usual way?

It may well be just that I need to put some time into getting used to it, but unfortunately, time is one thing I don't have a lot of right now, what with a recent move and a new job.

I know for me it took some getting used to, to be fast with it. You spend a few years listening for a key, and with this app, the key is to quickly tap in the general direction of the key, and continue on. I still hesitate some when tiping, it's just habit. To get the best results is to try to tap the keys as fast as you can, and let Fleksy do it's work and guess the word. Of corse it's first guess may not be right, but once you get the speed down and flicking through the suggested words, I think you'll start to notice the apps potintial. Hope this helps.

The great thing is that even if it doesn't guess the right word, you can flick down to get other suggestions. Unless the word isn't in its built-in dictionary, the word you want will most definitely be there. That is why you can just wildly guess, touching somewhere in the general vicinity of the letter but not really carrying how close it is, because that's enough to get the word to come up. Now I'm able to text just as fast, I think, as a sighted user. Did you read the full instructions? That may be useful.
