Skype questions
Hi All, I am wondering if anyone knows the answer to the following. How do you delete voicemails with the latest version of Skype? Also, do you know if any Skype Phone is accessible with either VoiceOver or it's own built-in speech? THank you for any help. I live in Spain and use my SKype number a lot. Sincerely, Allison Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: slightly OT: Digit-Eyes
The good news is that it is not $30 -- the price or the entire package was reduced to $19.95 earlier this year You can also buy just the part you need if you don't need the whole thing. If you want only one function (labeling), you can actually use the free version and make text labels; if you want to use audio recording, that is $9.99 and if you want just UPC recognition, that is also $9.99 If you have an iPhone 4 or 5 and there is not enough light, we use the flash that is build into the phone; if you have a 3gs, we warn you if there is not enough light to scan by.

Re: slightly OT: Digit-Eyes
I went ahead and bought the whole thing, which I now see wasted $10 since I'll never need audio labeling. Too bad iTunes can't do refunds... Ah well. Anyway, I've had limited success scanning bar codes. Even when I know where the code is supposed to be, it can be slow getting the app to recognize it, and if I'm not sure then I can spend minutes and never find the code at all. If the app could do one thing better, it would be bar code recognition. I know you're doing your best and are limited by the hardware, but if anything can be done to improve this process... Thanks.

updating iTunes library?

Re: Spotlight
Hi, If you know exactly what your looking for, and its a file/folder/app you use often, I think the dock is a better way to go than spotlight. I say this because, your dock is customizable. You can just have what you want in there. So, for example, If I want to open garageband, I go to the dock with VO D and press the letter G and press enter. using spotlight, yes, the garageband app would more than likely show up in the results but, I'd probably have to type more than the letter G, and then I would have to actually sort through the results which would probably contain e-mails, files, and web sites I've visited. Now, If I was using a machine that wasn't my own or, I'm looking for a missed placed file or e-mail, I would certainly use spotlight.

Hi, I really would have erased duplicated from the iTunes app itself. But, the only way I know how to know wich one to know clear from your iTunes is to try to play it.

Re: Spotlight
I think it's what you like, and neither the dock nor spotlight is better than the other for opening apps or folders you use all the time. Spotlight is a keystroke, a key or four, then the thing you want is almost always first, at least for apps. The dock is a keystroke, a letter or two, then enter. So the dock is a bit faster, but only if you've taken the time to add what you want to it, which people don't always do. I tend to use the dock more, but that's just me.

Re: Parallels or Fusion for running virtualized OSX with Voiceover?
Second this. OSX is pretty good about not allowing one user on one account to mangle things for another user on another account.

Amadeus Light Podcasts
Hello, I was wondering if there was a podcast for how to use Amadeus Light anywhere? I cannot seem to find one, and before I purchase Amadeus, I want to find some podcast on how to use Amadeus correctly. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Fwd: Unable To Install Windows On My Mac At All
Hi all, I'm forwarding a message I tried to send to this list last week. Please let me know if it gets through. Begin forwarded message: From: Gavin Grundlingh g.batw...@gmail.com Subject: Unable To Install Windows On My Mac At All Date: 17 December 2012 11:38:37 PM SAST To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Hi all, I'm not sure if I've written about this here before, but I'm having one hell of a time trying to install Windows on my Mac, the biggest problem being that my internal superdrive no longer works. I'll explain what I've tried so far in more detail below: First, because my superdrive is broken, I tried using 2 external USB DVD drives. One was an LG that worked with AC power, the other was powered purely by USB, but I don't know its make or model. In both cases, I could select the Windows DVD as a startup disk in System preferences. However, the LG AC powered drive hung on the Press any key to boot from CD or DVD message, while the USB only drive Skipped booting from the disk entirely. This happened both when trying to install Windows to a Bootcamp partition, and when changing the partition map scheme of my internal hard drive to MBR and trying to install the way you would on a traditional PC, which, just so everyone is aware, actually does work. I did it in January of this year when my Superdrive was still functional, and had no problems. Next, I created and booted from a CCC backup, downloaded and installed VirtualBox, and used its command line interface to create a vmdk file that would give me raw disk access to my internal hard drive. I used VMWare Fusion to create a new, custom virtual machine, then edited its configuration file to include the vmdk file with raw disk access. I was able to boot the virtual machine from both DVD drives, so I went through the Windows install process until I got to the desktop. I Rebooted the Mac from the internal drive, and got all the way to Starting Windows before the computer restarted itself and went to the Startup Repair screen. I told Windows to fix whatever it thought the problem was, but no luck. It did the same thing. So I started up from my external hard disk, booted the virtual machine and reran the installer from within Windows itself, thinking that my previous attempt may have failed due to hardware changes that occur when running Windows virtually ass opposed to natively. I hoped that, by running the first part of the install that copies the files from the DVD to the hard drive, then rebooting the machine completely and finishing the install on the native Mac hardware, all the correct components would be detected. Well, that was, and still is, merely a nice thought. I got as far as Setup is loading files and Starting Windows when I rebooted, then got a Windows was unable to start the installation error and an OK button. I pressed it, the computer restarted, and came up with the same error. Lastly, I tried using a flash drive created with the Windows 7 USB DVD download tool to install from, but the Mac wouldn't boot from that either. I installed the rEFIt boot manager and used that to boot from the flash drive, but still had no success. I'm at my wit's end here. Is the Mac seriously that full of crap about the devices it boots from? I've reset the parameter RAM, reset the SMC, checked for possible software updates, used different flash drives and Windows DVD's, but none if that seems to make any difference. I don't have, or know anybody who has, access to an Apple USB superdrive, so I can't confirm whether or not that will work. Does anyone know how I could possibly resolve this? I need the resources on this Mac for large sample libraries i want to run, and my PC just doesn't have enough power. Thanks for all the help you guys provide. It's very much appreciated.

Re: Unable To Install Windows On My Mac At All
Well, unfortunately I can't help you at all, sorry. On the bright side, your message did indeed come through just fine.

Re: Wire Shark and x-11
You have tcpdump and ngrep you can use from the terminal. tcpdump might already be installed and as for ngrep, you need to go through macports. ngrep example: ngrep '' host 192.168.1.3 will capture everything exchanged with host 192.168.1.3 ngrep -W byline '' host 123.123.123.123 and port 53 Will capture everything exchanged with 123.123.123.123 port 53 and format it nice and by line Emrah On Dec 22, 2012, at 10:39 PM, Chris Blouch cblo...@aol.com wrote: Is Packet Peeper accessible? http://packetpeeper.sourceforge.net CB On 12/22/12 5:11 PM, Mike M wrote: Hey all, I have recently installed X-11 and Wire shark. unfortunately it appears that it is completely inaccessible.
