Re: accessible application for burning a movie onto a dvd
Uh, I don’t think you can burn films you buy through ITunes on to DVD because of the restrictive characteritsics of the .m4v files and the fact that they are protected. Now, .mov files you record on your Iphone or other camera, you can burn those. I’d suggest using Burn for that. Sent from my Mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in! Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray, still a very happy Mac and Iphone 5 user!

Re: mac update?
Hi. I have used paragon for windows long ago, and it could be used with a little patience. Best regards Annie. Den 09 Dec 2013 kl. 22:56 skrev Esther mori...@mac.com: Hi, Cocktail (usually $19 for license) is certainly accessible. I used the previous version of ExpanDrive (usually $39.95 for license) for FTP, which was the solution for people who preferred a GUI-based FTP app before the later versions of Transmit we're released. Now I use Transmit, but I think ExpanDrive is still accessible. I'd have to ask on the Mac-Access list where I think ExpanDrive 3 was the chosen FTP app of some people a year ago, since I've never seen any discussion on this list. I think the Paragon NTFS 2-in1 bundle that normally lists for $29.95 may be accessible. at least, I know people on the Mac-Access list who have used the part that lets NTFS drives be viewed from the Mac. Since the other part is supposed to let Windows users read Mac formatted drives, I have no idea of its accessibility. You could try posting to the Mac-access list for questions on some of these apps. I'll just note that purchasing MacUpdate bundles or MacUpdate promos on individual apps requires that you create an account, which entails a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA. Afterwords, the buying process is accessible, and you can access a record of your receipts, license codes, and download links from logging into your account. They also let you designate the individual apps in the bundle to other users, in case this includes something you have already purchased. There's usually a link for trial downloads so you could check the accessibility for yourself before purchasing.

bookmarks hidden
Hello All: Well somehow it has happened again. I go to my bookmarks and they are hidden somehow. The new bookmarks which is where they are is checked. If I stop interacting with the left hand table and arrow to the right, the next thing is a search field. Continuing to the right is a horizontal splitter. What is supposed to come next is a table listing all my bookmarks but this is missing. Instead what comes next is something called new collection. When I interact with the horizontal splitter it says that something is collapsed. I don't know if that has anything to do with why I can't see my bookmarks or not. Anyway, all help is appreciated. The last time this happened I can't remember what I did to fix it. Jean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Paragraph Styles in the New Pages
I primarily use Pages for writing broadcast scripts and working on screenplays, and not having to do either thing for a few months, I was pleasantly surprised when I upgraded to the new Pages and found it significantly less clunky than before. My only question is: Is there still a way to create hot keys or shortcut combinations for specific paragraph styles? I can't seem to find that functionality in the formatter. Typically I use this to create shortcuts for elements of a screenplay, since it gets very tedious very quickly to keep jumping from formatter to page text since screenplay elements change so often. If anyone can answer or point me in the right direction I offer the sincerest gratitude. -- --Des -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Paragraph Styles in the New Pages
Hello Des, Unfortunately, there are no longer hot keys to do this. However, VO-j will take you to the Formatter, and I find that I land on the Paragraph styles button if that’s where I was last time. If you give your paragraph styles names beginning with different letters, you can just click the Paragraph styles button, go to last visible item (VO-End) and type the first letter of the style you want. You then press VO-j to be back in your text. Another annoying thing is that you can’t monitor the style. I tried putting a hotspot on the name of the style having interacted with the button, but no joy. I hope they do something about this soon.

Escape Key was Speakable Items
Dear List I have noticed that my escape key does not seem to work, I can be in a menu and the hint says press escape to exit the menu but it doesn't work. This is probably why speakable items fails.

VM Fusion and Window-Eyes
Hi. I have the latest version of Window-Eyes working well in a VM Fusion machine, except for one minor problem. When in a VM machine, Windows-tab is supposed to move you from program to program, like alt-tab usually does. It works fine using Narrator, but with WE, it doesn't. Instead of alt-tabbing from application to application, it moves element to element within the same program. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Thanks.

Re: Escape Key was Speakable Items
Hi Gina and Lee. If your escape key doesn't work, you can also program it to listen for a key word. For example, if you wanted the keyword to be Siri, you could program it to respond everytime you say Siri. After you say the keyword, it'll make a sound and then you can issue the command you want to have done. The only disadvantage about that is that it bypasses your setting for the monitor to go to sleep so I suggest that you only have that on when you need it. -- Shawn Sent From My White MacBook Using SamNet -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Hello Esther and All, Just as an aside from an ignorant person as I sometimes feel to be, what do you use FTP client for? I have an ftp application installed on my macbook air which was free in the App Store, and it not infrequently launches as if s;spontaneously and asks me to specify a default folder for something or other. If you don't mind sharing a bit of info, I'd like to know what I might use it for. It sounds complicated whenever I go into its menus and have a look around out of curiosity.

Hey Nick, sorry forgot to mention that after I wrote that I went and found it, but didn't like it going through the old crappy speakers, so for now just going to have everything go through the new speakers.

The Alerts tab is of particular interest as you may set an alert to pop up when the bitcoin value either drops below a certain threshold or goes above a threshold. These alerts can be set for a particular market and type of currency and you may have several alerts configured at once. Enjoy! Here's the linkie!

Re: Podcasts in VLC
You don't need the file menu and you don't activate the menu bar.
Choose podcasts from the table, meaning interact with the table and when on
podcasts stop interacting.
Do vo-right arrow until you come to the subscribe button. Do vo-space on the
subscribe button.
A dialog comes up telling you to enter the url of the podcast you want to
subscribe to. Enter the url and do vo-space on subscribe.Once you have done
that, type the name of the podcast in the search field and then vo-right arrow;
there should be a table with your episodes. i think they play but do not
download. There is a record function in the playback menu you could use.
If you want to find the url for a podcast you already subscribed to in itunes,
open iTunes and choose podcasts from the pop-up (the pop-up probably has Music
at the top). Then choose the my podcasts radio button. Find the podcast for
which you want the url and do vo-shift-m; one of the menu items will be copy
url. This copies the url and then you can paste it in VLC's text field next to
the subscribe button.

synching certain apps between devices and computers
hi, How do you make sure certain apps are synching content between devices and your desk top, if they are enabled to do that? I want my voice dream reader, bard mobile, and downcast apps to be synched with each other over devices, and obviously downcast should also be the same on my desk top. right now they don’t match. I do have the i cloud option selected in all of them everywhere. thanks, Caitlyn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Accessible App: BitCoin Ticker
HI Cheree, Yes, bitcoin is beginning to be used by some retailers. This app is a ticker though, not a wallet. So you would not use it to spend or receive bitcoins. The purpose of this app is simply to track the trading value of bitcoin flexibly and conveniently. Hope this helps.

This is for people who have been wanting to set a Wordpress site up and haven’t, or who have and didn’t make it very far. I’m running two sites and have been using Wordpress daily for around two years now so a lot of what will be taught are things learned from experience. This won’t cover PHP, HTML, CSS, or anything advanced like that. This is mainly to get people started. There are only 6 slots left in the January course so if you might be interested follow this link for the full details and info on how you can reserve your spot. Feel free to email me off list if you have any other questions. http://htb2.com/2013/12/wordpress-a-to-z-for-the-blind-and-visually-impaired/ Have a great night!

Re: an embarrassing question
It actually says Macintosh HD, right? And it's on your desktop? Okay, vokeys-arrow over to it and press return. It will say acintosh HD contents selected. Don't start typing or you'll have to type the whole thing because you will be replacing the name instead of adding to it. Left arrow and make sure you are at the beginning of acintosh and type the capital m (it's okay to then left and right arrow through the word to make sure it's right but don't use vo-keys, just arrows) and then press return again. Don't panic if you then get finder has no windows just command-tab away and back again and everything should look fine. Nothing dumb about this. I accidentally did this and ended up searching on google to make sure I hadn't messed up my path to all my files; the panic wasn't necessary but it scared me!

Re: USb turntable help/reccomendations.
While I haven't played around with this, most USB turntables will not hook up to your line in/out jacks. The turntable will just connect via USB and have a built-in analog to digital converter. So it should just show up as a generic audio input device which you can record from using your favorite app. You could even do it with plain old quicktime if you so desired. the more tricky stuff is splitting up the recorded audio into tracks along with any post-processing for scratches and such. Then you also have to name each track and add all the other meta data like album name, artist, release date etc. In the end you have to consider if all that is worth your time. Unless you have some rare or special stuff it might be money better spent in iTunes getting pristine copies of your favorite tracks or even buying the CD versions and importing them. If you still want to go forward I'd check into the turntables offered by Sweetwater, Guitar Center, BH and the like. Seems to start at about $100 for a basic one and goes up to about $800 for a super deluxe model. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/search.php?s=usb+turntableGo=Search http://www.guitarcenter.com/Search/Default.aspx?internal=1browser=fsrc=usb+turntablesrc=usb+turntable http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=usb+turntableN=0InitialSearch=yessts=maTop+Nav-Search= CB On 12/10/13 9:26 PM, Jessica Moss wrote: I'm wanting a usb turntable for Christmas, but not sure of a good model to buy, and kind of need a memory refresher on how to use one.

What the heck is this, and no I can't interact with the menu. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Podcasts in VLC
Cheryl Thank you. It took me some time to figure things out. I have now subscribed to a Podcast and now to figure out how to select and play a Podcast.

Re: Podcasts in VLC
You are welcome! Put your podcast name in the search field and your episodes should appear in the table. Interact with the table, find the episode, and press return to play. I actually closed vlc and reopened it before I searched but I think that probably isn't necessary. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen Lord.

Re: an embarrassing question
Cheryl and les, Thanks for your help, that did the trick. Don On Dec 10, 2013, at 7:33 PM, Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com wrote: It actually says Macintosh HD, right? And it's on your desktop? Okay, vokeys-arrow over to it and press return. It will say acintosh HD contents selected. Don't start typing or you'll have to type the whole thing because you will be replacing the name instead of adding to it. Left arrow and make sure you are at the beginning of acintosh and type the capital m (it's okay to then left and right arrow through the word to make sure it's right but don't use vo-keys, just arrows) and then press return again. Don't panic if you then get finder has no windows just command-tab away and back again and everything should look fine. Nothing dumb about this. I accidentally did this and ended up searching on google to make sure I hadn't messed up my path to all my files; the panic wasn't necessary but it scared me! I was NOT a new Mac user when I did it plus I had run linux and windows but it still made my heart miss a beat or two! -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen Lord.

Anyway, during all that nonsense I managed to screw up the word Macintosh in the finder. Problem is I can’t figure out how to correct the problem. It now says acintosh and I can’t figure out how to put the m back in there. Could someone please help out a dumb user?
