Re: Fusion and Sound sometimes stutters or sounds robotic ...
Hi Jeff. I'm running Fusion 5 and am using NVDA or System Access on Windows XP Pro and I sounds are functioning normally. I haven't updated to the latest version because, umm, I downloaded a cracked version of it and I'm afraid that if I updated, the crack won't work. I know that some people would question this tactic but oh well. Shawn Sent from my white MacBook -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: an attempt to make peace with the ITunes Library system and a question
The best solution here is to create a playlist for your iPhone, and have iTunes sync selected playlists, rather than the entire library. This is actually what you want to do, just using different terms. You need not create a new iTunes library, just add songs and artists to a playlist, then sync only that playlist when you connect your phone to your computer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Exstirnal NTFS drive and VMWare
Thanks Esther for the information, I heard of 3rd party software that allows the writing of a NTFS partition on a Mac, just wasn't sure of the accessibility of them. I think I'll give the trial a shot, Thanks again! Angelo - Original Message - From: Esther To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 8:38 PM Subject: Re: Exstirnal NTFS drive and VMWare Hello Angelo, I'll let someone else address your question in more detail, but the basic answer is that you won't be able to write to NTFS partitions without additional software assistance. I've read some posts on the macvisionaries list, and somewhat more recently on the mac-access list, that people have successfully used Paragon software to write to NTFS volumes that they need to access from both Windows and the Mac. This isn't something that I do myself, so I'll just mention that there is currently a sale on a Paragon Mini-Bundle at the MacUpdate Promo site (mupromo.com): • Paragon Mini-Bundle! 10.0.1 (four apps for $29.95 that normally run for $100) https://deals.macupdate.com/deal/14044/paragon-mini-bundle The sale seems to be running through the next 5 days. The way the mupromo site works, you need to register and create a login account. That requires a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA. Afterwards, you can log into your account for a record of your past purchases, information on the serial numbers, and links to the download versions. There's usually a download trial so you can try things out and decide whether you want to purchase the app deal. Maybe somebody who has used the Paragon software can comment on this. HTH.

That's very strange. It might be a matter of making sure there is consistency with the calendar names used by both devices. I know I had a lot of issues initially with events synching across, and I fiddled with the calendars and even deleted a few until I got it to work properly with two calendars I call, Work, and, Home.

Re: Question about moving to the top and bottom of the message list in Mail
I made a custom gesture to do this. In the voiceover settings, go to the track pad commander. When you make a custom gesture, you hold the option key to use them. I set it so that option swipe up performs the go to top command, and option swipe down performs the go to end command. If you are interacting with the messages table, this will move you to the top or bottom. These gestures are also handy for other things such as going to the beginning or end of web pages. Original message: Using my MacBook Pro with Quick Nab off, I don't see a way to quickly jump to the top or bottom of a list of messages. Is this not possible, or have I just not found the magic key combination? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: an attempt to make peace with the ITunes Library system and a question
Hi, As I mentioned in my first reply to this post, I, too believe that creating a playlist or playlists to sync with the iPhone is the best solution. Ray is uncomfortable with the methods by which iTunes handles his media and moving from no iTunes to incorporating iTunes Match seems like too big of a step to me. Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, only items purchased through the iTunes Store will appear as iCloud items and iTunes Match is only for music, not other media. When only syncing specific Playlists to the iPhone, these playlists can be easily modified on your Mac then either synced while connected or wirelessly depending on your settings. Just as an aside to Ray, you may wish to consider looking at iTunes in a different light. Your dislike of the manner by which iTunes organizes your music is, in my opinion, a background kind of thing. Consider that how iTunes does its organizing does not have to affect how you arrange things within the top layer or User layer of iTunes. You are totally able to create folders, playlists and such within iTunes essentially organizing your Library how you want. What is done underneath is immaterial to how you interact with the media content within iTunes itself. There are also alternate views whereby the music can be viewed by album, artist or just a massive list of your entire collection. Again, this is just my opinion of course, so take it as you wish. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On 2013-04-03, at 4:28 AM, Dave dave...@gmail.com wrote: The best solution here is to create a playlist for your iPhone, and have iTunes sync selected playlists, rather than the entire library. This is actually what you want to do, just using different terms. You need not create a new iTunes library, just add songs and artists to a playlist, then sync only that playlist when you connect your phone to your computer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Hello list, I'm a new subscriber as of today and would like to ask this direct question without getting a lot of elitest Mac/Windows mentalities. What I mean by this is I would love to get some feedback from you guys on the list about an unbiased bit of feedback on your experiences with the Mac. I also would like to know what you guys have experienced as being pros to the switch from a windows machine to that of a Mac system as well as cons if there is any. Have any of you used boot camp or another way of running windows successfully on a Mac? The reason I want to get this information is because my wife just recently had her Toshiba laptop give out on her after just three to four years and is rather disappointed with her experiences in windows laptops so she is tossing around the idea of a Mac. However, before making the decision to just jump into the decision she would like to get as much information as possible and weigh the advantages and disadvantages first so that she makes the best decision for her in the long run without being stuck shelling out money on a system she won't like. I ask about running Windows in boot camp or through another avenue because she enjoys mudding and uses VIP mud which is made only for windows so will likely need to use this in the short term at the very least until she can find a client that works as well with voiceover on the Mac. I thank all responses you guys can give us and thank you all in welcoming me to the list.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Hello. Welcome to the group. I have had a Mac for almost two years although I still use windows at work and at home on my Mac at home, although not a lot. I think there is a place for all platforms, it really depends on what you want to do. I love my I Mac not just because of Voice Over, but quality hardware and it just works. However in my opinion, Windows runs better on a Mac. Besides Boot Camp, there is VMWare Fusion which you can get from VMWare.com. It's easy to install windows 7 as VMWare makes the process accessible. I hope this helps for now. Kawal.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Well, if you have iOS devices there are more advantages, since things like contacts, notes, calendars, and more sync to all your devices. You can, for instance, do a lot of typing in reminders or contacts on the mac, and then the changes will appear on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. I'll not talk about the other advantages of the Mac, since they are basically the same for sighted and blind users so any Gogle search can give you more than I could think of. I will mention the cost of screen readers, though: vo is free, whereas most Windows screen readers cost money. However, the free NVDA screen reader nullifies this point somewhat. I still don't like browsing the web on the mac as much as on windows, but I have grown used to it. Still, I like the windows approach to the internet much more (well, technically, I like windows scree readers' approaches to it). Aside from that, and having less hotkeys in dialogs (balanced by the ability to assign custom hotkeys to items in the dropdown menus), I can't think of disadvantages except, of course, the price. I use both Bootcamp and a virtual machine solution, so both avenues are open to you assuming you have a license key for your copy of windows. I'm not suggesting you have an illegal copy, I'm saying you will need the 25-character code to re-authorize your copy of windows if you want it to work normally. You can find isos of Windows online and use them, but they will expire and you could run into some problems if that happens. The bootcamp vs vm debate is also something I will not get into here, as it has little to do specifically with the blind and so information you find online will apply to you as much as anyone else.

RE: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
I will add that there are quite a number of podcasts that will help with training, but unfortunately there is not a book for learning the Mac that would compare with the iOS books from National Braille Press. I was a bit surprised that there are not any current books from RFBD related to switching from Windows to the Mac. There are a couple from Bookshare, but not all graphics are spoken. They are, however, useable. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 2:52 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows Well, if you have iOS devices there are more advantages, since things like contacts, notes, calendars, and more sync to all your devices.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Hi Shannon, It seems to me that the question of switching to a Mac from Windows is a little more involved than just looking at the fact that a laptop quit after 3 or 4 years. Given the cost difference between Windows and Mac laptops, your prospective purchase of a Mac would have to last you maybe twice as long as that Windows laptop did, if you're concerned about bang for the buck. And given the speed with which technology advances, I think it is highly doubtful that a Macbook you buy today will be satisfactory in say, 7 years. Sure, the screen reader comes with the Mac, so there is no cost there. But there are good free or inexpensive alternatives on the Windows side that largely obviate the cost advantage of the built in screen reader on the Mac. I have not tried Windows on my Mac, so I can't comment on that aspect of your question. What other things besides mudding does your wife do with her pc? And which operating system and screen reader is she familiar with? Will she keep on using those if she stays with Windows? If she uses something like Jaws and Win xp and would now find herself needing to move to Windows 8 plus continually upgrading Jaws, then the Mac with its learning curve might not be such a big deal, and the cost of the Mac versus the ongoing cost of Jaws upgrades makes the Mac look more attractive. If, on the other hand, she is ok with NVDA and Windows 7, or System Access and Windows 7, then the question is, what advantage is there in switching?

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Hello, I will do my best to chime in on this subject. I used windows since 1995 in college and 1998 at home. I found the switch fro Windows to Mac rather arduous because my computer had a couple not serious issues and I didn't have training (I hadn't found this list yet) Once the learning curve was over, I find Mac easier and more intuitive but there are some things I like better about windows to this day. I like the feedback that voice over provides, for example, when copying and pasting, but I like burning css on windows better.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
I have Windows7 in a bootcamp partition on an iMac running Mountain Lion. Both work just fine, although I've been concentrating on learning the mac and haven't used the bootcamp for months (I have another windows box I use regularly). In my opinion, there is no contest between windows/jaws and Mac for productivity software. MS Office with Jaws is far and away a superior productivity tool. I understand that there is relatively good access to Mac's iWork suite, but there is just no comparison between the two. Aside from that, the mac is interesting if a little limited in accessibility compared to windows/jaws. Windows just has alot more choices for accessible programs than does the Mac. - Original Message - From: Shannon Gerdts bambam...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 3:36 PM Subject: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows Hello list, I'm a new subscriber as of today and would like to ask this direct question without getting a lot of elitest Mac/Windows mentalities.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
One thing I would add is that I feel like having Voiceover integrated into the IOS is a huge advantage in terms of smoothness of operation. I've used Windows with JAWS since 1995. Since July 2009 I've use a Mac at home, and most of the time Windows at work. I agree with the person who said that sometimes I prefer browsing the internet in Windows, but most of the time, apart from that, I'd rather be on my Mac. One thing that I notice a lot is how often in Windows I find myself dealing with screens where the information is not spoken and is not shown in braille. These can be system notifications, software screens, etc. I absolutely never have that problem on my Mac. Even when upgrading the OS, you can still have feedback with Voiceover. And speaking of upgrading, I also really like the fact that when I upgrade to a new version of Mac IOS I also get the newest version of Voiceover, thus avoiding the situation that can happen in Windows where unless you spend $200 on a new SMA, you may not be able to upgrade to the latest version of Windows, because your version of JAWS won't support it. I would also say that very rarely do I feel like pounding my Mac into a pile of dust, and I probably feel like doing that to my PC at least three times a week. :) HTH, Donna On Apr 3, 2013, at 3:24 PM, Kerri shalo...@shaw.ca wrote: Hello, I will do my best to chime in on this subject.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Hi there Personally, I like TextEdit and pages better than I like in this word. This is because MS Word offers me more options that I want to deal with. When I made the switch, I had choices because I am self-employed, and I could call my customer and tell her that I was Changing and therefore, I was no longer going to use tables. I do make Excel files by converting them from Numbers. I have of voided putting windows on my computer like the plague. It's just prejudice. Also, my husband has a Windows computer which has just 13 on it. So, if I have a burning need to use Windows, I can use his computer, something I do about once a year. The big thing I use it for is editing PDF files such as forms. That is something we need added for the Macintosh. I hope this information helps.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
In my opinion it is very worth it. Every computer has hiccups and problems but the Mac seems to have far fewer. But don't think that once you get it that it will be the same as a windows machine. You will get frustrated with it and want to smash it with a hammer at first but keep with it and once you do master it you will wish you have always used a Mac to begin with a mac. I now only rarely use my Windows computer for games.

Hi Donna, You know, it is also possible to get stuck behind the no upgrade 8-ball with a Mac.

Re: importing windows bookmarks into safari
Hi Phil, The general way to import bookmarks from any browser into any other browser is to use the File menu option to Export your bookmarks from the first browser, copy the file over (if you're importing into a browser that's on another computer),and then to use the File menu option of the second browser to import. In the case of Internet Explorer, I would rename the file extension from .htm to .html before importing into any other browser (not just Safari), since .htm is specific to Internet Explorer. If you want to read more details about using bookmarks and the way they are organized in Safari, you can read one of my archived posts from this list: • Re: importing favorites from ie to safari http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg60672.html You can generally find answers to topics in the Mail Archives. For example, I didn't remember which posts I had written on this subject, but I was sure I had written on this topic, so I went to the search text box of the macvisionaries mail archive page, and typed in: from:Esther importing favorites (without the quotation marks), and pressed return. Then, on the page of search results, which tells you the number of matches, gives you the links with the subject titles, date, short excerpt of post containing your search terms, and the author of the post, I just activated the first link and checked the content. You can also search the mac-access list posts on the Mail Archive, since you're also a member of that list. And one of the items that was discussed on the mac-access list that was not discussed on this list is SafariSort -- which is a free application that lets you alphabetically organize your bookmarks that you can find at the Macupdate site.

Inserting Scanned Signature
Hello, Everyone, I need to insert my scanned signature into a Pages document. I scan the signature using Image Capture, but I must have some setting incorrect, because the person looking at the result says that the image still needs to be cropped because it shows the entire page and my signature is barely visible. Note that I set the width to two inches, just an approximation, and the height was adjusted to automatically 2.66 inches, or something close to that. The Constrain Proportions box is checked. For scanning, it was set to U.S. Letter. I don't recall any other settings in particular.

You want to go to this site. http://www.hairersoft.com/pro.html Go there and get it instead of from the app store. Why?

Re: importing windows bookmarks into safari
Thank you Esther, you must be a very devoted person to have all this information at hand. And, yes, I'll try to make more use of the Mail-archive.com site in future;-) - Original Message - From: Esther To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 8:13 PM Subject: Re: importing windows bookmarks into safari Hi Phil, The general way to import bookmarks from any browser into any other browser is to use the File menu option to Export your bookmarks from the first browser, copy the file over (if you're importing into a browser that's on another computer),and then to use the File menu option of the second browser to import. In the case of Internet Explorer, I would rename the file extension from .htm to .html before importing into any other browser (not just Safari), since .htm is specific to Internet Explorer. If you want to read more details about using bookmarks and the way they are organized in Safari, you can read one of my archived posts from this list: • Re: importing favorites from ie to safari http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg60672.html You can generally find answers to topics in the Mail Archives. For example, I didn't remember which posts I had written on this subject, but I was sure I had written on this topic, so I went to the search text box of the macvisionaries mail archive page, and typed in: from:Esther importing favorites (without the quotation marks), and pressed return. Then, on the page of search results, which tells you the number of matches, gives you the links with the subject titles, date, short excerpt of post containing your search terms, and the author of the post, I just activated the first link and checked the content. You can also search the mac-access list posts on the Mail Archive, since you're also a member of that list. And one of the items that was discussed on the mac-access list that was not discussed on this list is SafariSort -- which is a free application that lets you alphabetically organize your bookmarks that you can find at the Macupdate site.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Nobody said anything about a computer bought in 1995. The original question had to do with a laptop that broke after 3-4 years, and the person wasn't too happy and was considering a Mac. Since upgrades to the screen reader are tied to the os on a Mac, if your Mac is too old to get the new upgrade, you also don't get the new VO features, and that can be a computer that is 3 to 4 years old. I have an old xp machine that I sure wouldn't put Windows 8 on, but it is something like 6 years old, not 4, and when I go to replace it, if I do, I'll pay substancially less than what I would pay for a new Mac. I'm not saying that the Mac isn't good. I just think the decision to switch is a lot more complicated than deciding it is a good deal because you get the screen reader buiult in to the os.
