Re: Question about bookmarks
Hi, just press the spacebar to open the bookmark.

They were synched from my PC to my phone and many of them are in folders. I've tried accessing some of them on my Mac without success. I have made sure show all bookmarks is checked, and have also used the bookmarks menu and selected the show all bookmarks option. I can find all of them, but they are in a table. I can interact with them, edit the names of them and delete them, but I can not go to the pages. I'm sure there is something I'm missing here, or do these bookmarks import, but are basically useless? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

In iOS, if you hear the sound, you can just double tap to dismiss the suggestion. If you wish to accept the suggestion, just press space.

Re: Importing favorites in to safari
I exported my favourites to Dropbox, and then imported that file from Dropbox into Safari. It's really quite easy. There should be an export menu in Firefox, probably in the file or bookmarks menu. Follow the instructions to save the file wherever you want; on a flash disc, for example. And then choose import from the file menu in Safari and then simply brows to the exported file from Firefox and select it. Safari will do the rest. I do suggest once you have imported those favourites/bookmarks, you copy them into your Bookmarks Menu in Safari. That way you can access them from the Bookmarks Menu in the Menu Bar in Safari. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Question about bookmarks
Hmm, that's odd. I get Open, Open in New Window, Open in New Tab, Rename Bookmark…, Edit Address, Copy and Delete. Not sure why this is so. If you VO-Left Arrow from the bookmark, do you get its address? A work around might be for you to copy that address, press Command-L to move to the address bar, and paste it in, then press enter. If you're in that table view, there should be two tables. IN the left most table there should be a folder called Bookmarks Menu. Select this, and then paste your bookmarks into the right most table. I would not put all my bookmarks in the other folder, Bookmarks Bar, if I were you. I keep Bookmarks Bar just for the nine bookmarks I use most often. Then you can easily switch between these using Command and numbers one through nine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

QuickTime plugging Apple Mail problem.
I've asked once before but thought I'd ask one more time as this issue is getting worse. Several times a day, mail will crash telling me there's a problem with the quicktime mail plugging and restart mail. Is this a known issue? Any solutions round or is there a way I can attempt to track down where why how and the like? Many thanks.

Re: auto corrections in mail messages and while typing
I feel like an idiot because the down arrow trick just simply is not working for me.

On Feb 2, 2013, at 9:49 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com wrote: Getting the list is as easy as putting your cursor just past the last character of the word and then down arrowing, or moving to anywhere in the word and hitting vo-shift-m. On iOS, when you hear the auto-correct sound, you can swipe down (the rotor should auto-select corrections, but if not you can rotor to it) and find the word you want in there, then double tap to use it. Or, I believe you can press space to accept the first suggestion, just like on the mac. I have less experience with auto-correct on the iOS platform, though, so I could be wrong in the details there.

Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!
It depends on the form that you get. Some of the forms have complex tables and elements that text edit don't handle very well. Sure you can get the gist of the letter but there are elements that are add to the docs in order for them to be 508 compliant per SSA requirements. And text edit does not read those changes.

Unfortunately the judge in his ruling stated that the SSA is now required to provide all documentation in either an audible format, braille format, or Word format. Great for Microsoft but not so much for those of us who don't have access to Word. For the purposes of full disclosure I will say that I am aware of this because I currently work for the company that is subcontracted to the NTIS. We provide all the braille and word documents for SSA. I have met with the directors of the SSA and made the case to them that Word documents are not accessible on the Mac versions of Office, and translating them to Pages or other formats is not always guaranteed. Their response was that they are providing only what the judgment requires them to and no more.

Re: mac application prismo is half price in Mac app store
Hi. I have in fact godt prizmo to work, but I would recommend to do the scanning with vuescan, and do the OCR with prizmo. I bought it a wile ago on a macupdate desktop offer. The Ocr is very good. In fact I got better results with some cookbooks than in finereader 11. But I have an a3 scanner, and the prizmo for mac can still not use a3 format, that will hopefully be fixed soon, it can still not split doubble pages, that will also be fixed.and there should also be some VoiceOver improvements.

Amadeus Pro Tutorial
Hello, My friend Mike Malarsie has recorded a new tutorial on his How To Be Blind website and I thought that some people might like to check it out. He is doing a really good job creating some useful content on his site, and he also produces a very good podcast if I do say myself. I made that last statement because I am one of his co-hosts on the roundtable podcast.

I would dearly love to see the Office suite become accessible on the Mac, for more than just being able to create documents for use by most of people who I communicate with on a daily basis. In 2009 the NFB won a federal suit against the SSA for noncompliance of section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Unfortunately the judge in his ruling stated that the SSA is now required to provide all documentation in either an audible format, braille format, or Word format. Great for Microsoft but not so much for those of us who don't have access to Word. For the purposes of full disclosure I will say that I am aware of this because I currently work for the company that is subcontracted to the NTIS. We provide all the braille and word documents for SSA. I have met with the directors of the SSA and made the case to them that Word documents are not accessible on the Mac versions of Office, and translating them to Pages or other formats is not always guaranteed. Their response was that they are providing only what the judgment requires them to and no more. So my hopes are high that an accessible version of Office is in the works, as I will no longer pay for an operating system that does not have a built in screen reader that is functional.

Re: Jailbreak iPhone 4S
Does anyone know what time today or even if it will be released today I already prepared my iPhone 4S for the jailbreak according to idownloadblog Sent from my iPhone On 2013-02-01, at 12:18 PM, Raul A.

Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hello Krysti, I may have some information for you. Also, Mauricio, the question wasn't about what you lose if you jailbreak, but whether it could be done. Anyway, jailbreaking iOS 6.0 or 6.01 is not really possible right now if you want untethered, and believe me when I say that untethered is the way to go. Otherwise you will be depending on a tethered jailbreak, and it means you have to connect your phone to the computer and run software when it reboots. Additionally, there has been a very difficult time of it from the hackers on getting it working right. So, the good news is that if you wait for the long-awaited untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1, it's a good chance it will be made available this Sunday. Now, to address some of the other things which came up in this thread. If you have a new iPhone and it came with iOS 6, you can't downgrade. This is because of Apple signing each firmware installation for your phone. I don't understand the specifics, but if you Google for shsh blobs, it will give a better description for it. I have been able to downgrade in the past before, but that was because I had saved my shsh blobs from a prior iOS version. The question I see come up often is if jailbreaking is worth it. I mean, you lose Apple tech support, and supposedly void your warranty if you have one. If you find that you need to have your device serviced, then you can restore and go back to the current iOS and it will be unjailbroken. Of course you will lose your settings and jailbreak apps, but that's a risk you take when you go for the jailbreak path. I just realized I didn't answer my own question on if jailbreaking is right or not. Like with all things in life, it depends on the user and whether said user wants to trade in the warranty for certain conveniences. Or even more importantly, it highly depends on whether jailbreaking will enhance the user experience for the specific user. I'll give an example, if you have been using the iPhone unjailbroken and it's met your needs, or you are really concerned about tech support from Apple and/or warranty service, then jailbreaking isn't for you. If you aren't concerned about their tech support or warranty, but you don't need the enhancements that jailbreaking provides, then again, jailbreaking may not be for you. I teach new users how to use the iPhone and even though I'm a huge jailbreak fan, I don't recommend it to my clients unless they ask about it first, and only if they feel they really need it. I could go on and on about all the cool things you can do extra with a jailbroken iPhone, but the list would be too long. Suffice it to say that even though I'm using iOS 5.1.1 still on my 4S, I'm enjoying most of the iOS 6 features due to some sort of jailbreak enhancement. The one feature I will mention here is probably 80% of the reason why I jailbreak in the first place. I'm a Google Voice user, and I have totally integrated my Google Voice number so that even tapping on phone numbers in text messages or web pages or apps, will use my GV number to call the tapped number. Furthermore, sending and receiving text messages using my Google Voice number is seamless and can be done through the messages app. These are things you cannot do unless you jailbreak. So, bottom line, I truly hope that untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak will come out, but if it doesn't, I'll be sticking with iOS 5.1.1 for a bit longer. -- Raul A.

Re: auto corrections in mail messages and while typing
Where on the word are you? Also, are you possibly mistaking the misspelled word sound for the suggestions available sound? The former is the sort of ratchet sound, the latter a higher, shorter tone. Finally, do you have correct spelling as I type enabled in system preferences and in the application? I had it on in system preferences, but for the longest time it would not work in Mail. I finally found that I had to go into the edit menu, then the spelling and grammar submenu, and turn on the option in there.

Re: Using time capsule to play movies?
Hi Tim, We already have home-sharing turned on. We were thinking that it would be cool to store our movies on a drive that connects wirelessly to my MBA. but I suppose if we have to use a standard portable drive, that isn't the end of the world. But it does raise another question or two. Can I set up iTunes so that only the movies in my library are stored on a portable drive? And if I do that, will iTunes be messed up when that drive isn't connected? Thanks, Donna On Feb 3, 2013, at 11:09 AM, Tim Kilburn kilbur...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I believe that it may be technically possible but not extremely practical. You would need to probably partition your TC so that the backups were on a separate partition then set your Mac to automatically mount the other partition where your iTunes content is stored. Then when you started iTunes, it would access its Library from that network drive. I think that performance would be compromised and other inconsistencies may occur. Why not simply use the Home Sharing feature built-in to iTunes so that all users with the same AppleID in your house could access that Library? Later...

Reminder that BrailleTouch goes up in price tomorrow
I know this is a bit off topic for this list, but many of us have iOS devices on here. Don't forget that today is the last day to get BrailleTouch for $15; tomorrow it goes up to $20. If you are on the fence about upgrading, consider taking the plunge today, since that same plunge tomorrow will be $5 more. If you haven't yet tried out the app, please do so; it is really amazing, and free to try. What your $15 (or $20) gets you is the ability to use the text you write for emails, messages, tweets, or copying to the clipboard to paste into any app. Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini) mehg...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hello Krysti, I may have some information for you. Also, Mauricio, the question wasn't about what you lose if you jailbreak, but whether it could be done. Anyway, jailbreaking iOS 6.0 or 6.01 is not really possible right now if you want untethered, and believe me when I say that untethered is the way to go. Otherwise you will be depending on a tethered jailbreak, and it means you have to connect your phone to the computer and run software when it reboots. Additionally, there has been a very difficult time of it from the hackers on getting it working right. So, the good news is that if you wait for the long-awaited untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1, it's a good chance it will be made available this Sunday. Now, to address some of the other things which came up in this thread. If you have a new iPhone and it came with iOS 6, you can't downgrade. This is because of Apple signing each firmware installation for your phone. I don't understand the specifics, but if you Google for shsh blobs, it will give a better description for it. I have been able to downgrade in the past before, but that was because I had saved my shsh blobs from a prior iOS version. The question I see come up often is if jailbreaking is worth it. I mean, you lose Apple tech support, and supposedly void your warranty if you have one. If you find that you need to have your device serviced, then you can restore and go back to the current iOS and it will be unjailbroken. Of course you will lose your settings and jailbreak apps, but that's a risk you take when you go for the jailbreak path. I just realized I didn't answer my own question on if jailbreaking is right or not. Like with all things in life, it depends on the user and whether said user wants to trade in the warranty for certain conveniences. Or even more importantly, it highly depends on whether jailbreaking will enhance the user experience for the specific user. I'll give an example, if you have been using the iPhone unjailbroken and it's met your needs, or you are really concerned about tech support from Apple and/or warranty service, then jailbreaking isn't for you. If you aren't concerned about their tech support or warranty, but you don't need the enhancements that jailbreaking provides, then again, jailbreaking may not be for you. I teach new users how to use the iPhone and even though I'm a huge jailbreak fan, I don't recommend it to my clients unless they ask about it first, and only if they feel they really need it. I could go on and on about all the cool things you can do extra with a jailbroken iPhone, but the list would be too long. Suffice it to say that even though I'm using iOS 5.1.1 still on my 4S, I'm enjoying most of the iOS 6 features due to some sort of jailbreak enhancement. The one feature I will mention here is probably 80% of the reason why I jailbreak in the first place. I'm a Google Voice user, and I have totally integrated my Google Voice number so that even tapping on phone numbers in text messages or web pages or apps, will use my GV number to call the tapped number. Furthermore, sending and receiving text messages using my Google Voice number is seamless and can be done through the messages app. These are things you cannot do unless you jailbreak. So, bottom line, I truly hope that untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak will come out, but if it doesn't, I'll be sticking with iOS 5.1.1 for a bit longer. -- Raul A.

Skype help needed
Hi. Had Skype working fine yesterday on my Mac Mini with a desk mike and my speakers. Today I tried adding a usb headset, and everything went downhill. I have Skype set to use the usb headset in the call speakers pop up box, and the volume is set to 75%. I have ringers set to use all devices. Now, when I make the Skype test call, I hear the begin call blurp in the headset, but then it's silence everywhere, no ringing, no voice, until the call ends and I get the call end sound. If I try to now put the speaker back to the Mini's external speakers, again silence. Any help with what I may have done wrong greatly appreciated.

Change the sfx tab, input, and output tabs, to all use your headset as the default device. that may help, Rachel On Feb 3, 2013, at 1:17 PM, Bill Holton bill32...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Gifting a book in iTunes
Dear Listers, I've just tried to buy an audiobook for a friend in iTunes 11. Previously I had no problems going into the actions menu when finding a book I wished to buy for somebody and choosing buying it as a gift. A new dialogue would open which would allow you to do so. However, now this has turned out to be difficult. Firstly, I had to try and activate the button a few times before it allowed me to see the dialogue. Having done so once, I wanted to buy another book. No way could I activate that button. Strangely though, when I examined the screen carefully with Voiceover, I found at the right edge of the screen/page the date on which I'd like the gift delivered. This is indeed a part of the dialogue page where you fill in all the necessary details for the gift. But I could not find any other elements of that dialogue. Has anyone else noticed this strange behaviour? I must have spent nearly an hour trying to accomplish the purchase of the gift but to no avail.

Re: buying ipad mini, will it be ok?
That depends on what you want it for. The iPhone5 supports the phone things, like messaging and phone calls, and is pocket-sized. The iPad Mini is larger, and cannot do phone calls or texts, plus rumor has it that a new one will be out pretty soon. So, if it is a phone you want, go with the iPhone, else wait a month or two and see what the next-generation Mini looks like.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?
Hi. Yes, you can store them on a portable drive, but the drive does need to be connected in order for iTunes to access them, otherwise they'll just be stubs in your library that aren't able to be played.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?
Hi, thanks. I figured the drive would need to be connected in order to access the movies. What I meant by my second question is, if the drive is not connected, is iTunes rendered unusable, i.e. can I play music or access other content that does reside on my computer? Also, how do you configure iTunes to tell it that your movies are on a remote drive? Cheers, Donna On Feb 3, 2013, at 4:13 PM, Daniel Miller miller...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Re: buying ipad mini, will it be ok?
Yes it can, but you'd need then to get a cellular iPad, plus the app you use may charge you to have a phone number which landlines or other cell phones can call. Also, you cannot hold the iPad up to your ear, so if you are out and about you'd need to use the speaker/microphone in the iPad or carry a headset of some kind. I'm still not sure what your goal with the device would be, so I cannot give you better advice.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?
No, it would automatically show the backup drive. You would interact with both drives for your specific setup. You would decide what you want where. Most portable drives are very user friendly to understand. Just remember to keep extra backup of portable, in case of fail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?
I have my iTunes library on an external drive and I have several movies contained therein.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?
Hi, yes. You would. You would first need to go into iTunes preferences and under advanced, uncheck that option to copy added media to your iTunes folder. After that, you just add your movies to iTunes from your external drive like you would anything else. But, instead of copying the movies to your internal drive, or where ever your iTunes media folder happens to be located, iTunes will play the content directly from the external drive. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Feb 3, 2013, at 5:34 PM, Donna Goodin doniado...@me.com wrote: OK, now I'm confused.

Where's the mic on an iMac?
I'm trying to record a voicemail message from my iPhone into GarageBand on the iMac. I've decided the quick and easy way to do this is just to hold the iPhone, with speakerphone on, up to the builtin mic. Its a late 2011 21.5 iMac. I assume the mic is in the center of the top edge of the screen, am I close? My little experiments tell me I am, but I just want to hear from someone else on this.\ Also, is it possible to use the mic on the iPhone earbuds to record? How would i set things up to do that?

RE: Skype help needed
Thanks. Problem turned out to be with Audio Hijack Pro. I had bought a license today and plugged in the code. After that as long as it was running it was taking the audio from Skype and noa allowing it to come through to me. I restarted the Mini, and now all is working fine.

So, the good news is that if you wait for the long-awaited untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1, it's a good chance it will be made available this Sunday. Now, to address some of the other things which came up in this thread. If you have a new iPhone and it came with iOS 6, you can't downgrade. This is because of Apple signing each firmware installation for your phone. I don't understand the specifics, but if you Google for shsh blobs, it will give a better description for it. I have been able to downgrade in the past before, but that was because I had saved my shsh blobs from a prior iOS version. The question I see come up often is if jailbreaking is worth it. I mean, you lose Apple tech support, and supposedly void your warranty if you have one. If you find that you need to have your device serviced, then you can restore and go back to the current iOS and it will be unjailbroken. Of course you will lose your settings and jailbreak apps, but that's a risk you take when you go for the jailbreak path. I just realized I didn't answer my own question on if jailbreaking is right or not. Like with all things in life, it depends on the user and whether said user wants to trade in the warranty for certain conveniences. Or even more importantly, it highly depends on whether jailbreaking will enhance the user experience for the specific user. I'll give an example, if you have been using the iPhone unjailbroken and it's met your needs, or you are really concerned about tech support from Apple and/or warranty service, then jailbreaking isn't for you. If you aren't concerned about their tech support or warranty, but you don't need the enhancements that jailbreaking provides, then again, jailbreaking may not be for you. I teach new users how to use the iPhone and even though I'm a huge jailbreak fan, I don't recommend it to my clients unless they ask about it first, and only if they feel they really need it. I could go on and on about all the cool things you can do extra with a jailbroken iPhone, but the list would be too long. Suffice it to say that even though I'm using iOS 5.1.1 still on my 4S, I'm enjoying most of the iOS 6 features due to some sort of jailbreak enhancement. The one feature I will mention here is probably 80% of the reason why I jailbreak in the first place. I'm a Google Voice user, and I have totally integrated my Google Voice number so that even tapping on phone numbers in text messages or web pages or apps, will use my GV number to call the tapped number. Furthermore, sending and receiving text messages using my Google Voice number is seamless and can be done through the messages app. These are things you cannot do unless you jailbreak. So, bottom line, I truly hope that untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak will come out, but if it doesn't, I'll be sticking with iOS 5.1.1 for a bit longer. -- Raul A. Gallegos

Re: Jailbreak iPhone 4S
Please read this entire message to the ends, to find a link to get more information. Apparently, the date of Super Bowl being when iOS 6.1 jailbreak will be out, was slightly incorrect. The website below explains that it is 91% of the way complete, and the next step is to be released. According to the Twitter, linked out the website below, they will be releasing at sometime tomorrow. Therefore, I hope this helps a little bit of people. For those of you interested in the jailbreaking process, my suggestion would be to monitor this website, as this is the website to the developers. Therefore, you would CS soon as it is available if you monitor this site, or follow the individuals on Twitter. http://evasi0n.com/ http://empoweringtheblind.com Empowering the blind, one step at a time.

Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!
The only question I have: How interested might Microsoft be to make the Mac more attractive to blind users? I don't think Sara would have joined this thread if Microsoft were not interested in making MS Office for Mac accessible. However, I agree with you that making the Mac a viable alternative to Windows for blind people would not seem a likely incentive for Microsoft. Hence I am a little puzzled why so many people seem to be posting about this issue, rather than about what in particular Sara and her team at Microsoft could do to make Microsoft Office for Mac more accessible. Personally, I'm already using a Mac, as I guess are most people on this list. Making MS Office for Mac accessible would make me a loyal purchaser of MS Office for Mac, which I am not currently. I would likely continue to still use Windows in some capacity as I do now given work requirements and better support for reading PDFs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Using time capsule to play movies?
Hey Kliphton, Thanks. I think the idea of doing this all wirelessly sounds very cool. If I get a time-capsule, I may pick your brain more about how you did this.

We were thinking that it would be cool to store our movies on a drive that connects wirelessly to my MBA. but I suppose if we have to use a standard portable drive, that isn't the end of the world.

And if I do that, will iTunes be messed up when that drive isn't connected?

You would need to probably partition your TC so that the backups were on a separate partition then set your Mac to automatically mount the other partition where your iTunes content is stored. Then when you started iTunes, it would access its Library from that network drive. I think that performance would be compromised and other inconsistencies may occur. Why not simply use the Home Sharing feature built-in to iTunes so that all users with the same AppleID in your house could access that Library? Later...

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?
thanks for the clarification, Ricardo. I'm sure this will all make more sense once I actually try and do it.

You would first need to go into iTunes preferences and under advanced, uncheck that option to copy added media to your iTunes folder. After that, you just add your movies to iTunes from your external drive like you would anything else.

Huh, interesting. I use a portable drive for my time-machine backups, but haven't done much else. I'm sure this will make more sense once I'm actually trying to do it.

Re: Apple mail and retreiving mail
Tid Bits Publishers produce a great series of books on how to use Mac OS X. It's called the Take Control series. In particular, they have a new Take Control of Apple Mail in Mountain Lion book. It goes through how to set up Mail in great detail. At first I thought it was silly getting a whole book on something so simple, but I'm so glad I bought it. It's been a great help and I only regret not buying it earlier. It's only 10 or 15 dollars. You can access Take Control of Apple Mail along with many other titles from http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog-accessible Best of luck.
