Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

Hmm, thanks for letting me know, Phil. I think it's beyond my scripting 
ability, for now, but I'm wondering whether mouse keys might give me some 
results, if it's just essentially moving the mouse over to the left a little as 
you say. Anyway, either that or sighted assistance.

Thanks for your help!

Never Underestimate the Power of Ethernet

2014-08-30 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

As technology progresses, we sometimes forget that old and boring technology
that got us to where we are today.

With that in mind, I want to share with you that with regards to
manipulating data on my home network, I pretty much stick to WiFi.  

However, Today I needed to copy an enormous amount of data from a NAS drive
to one of my computers.  Slowly but surely I am removing all data from NAS
for reasons described in prior threads.  

So, as I began the copy process, I was told that it would take about 6
hours.  

Then, I remembered that along with my new Mac, I purchased a Thunderbolt to
Ethernet adaptor.  

Using a wired connection, the same amount of data was transferred in less
than 35 minutes.  

So, no matter how much progress we make, let's remember and revere the
old-school style that came before as, in some cases, it's still going
strong.

Happily,

Mark

 Do you have a lot of important stuff on there? If not, you could try

You can get a dedicated rj45 lead, with a cross-over between two particular

settings on each pc. You have to enable a server mode and allowed protocols; 
not done for too long, so can't be more specific.

But between PC's, what's wrong with a good old fashioned pen drive, memory

Re: adding reverb on a video on iMovie

2014-08-30 Thread Phil Halton
I don't believe that's possible. Usually, what you record is what you get, 
there's no audio processing capacities in QT that I'm ware of. I just messed 
around a bit in QT and I find that it is very easy to record a video, and then 
to trim off beginning and ending junk by splitting and deleting the split parts 
you don't want. Anything beyond that gets a little more difficult. 
Also, in iMovie, I don't think you can do that either. You have to adjust your 
levels and wet/dry mix the way you want it to sound in the movie before 
recording as it can't be adjusted after the fact. Though, in iMovie, you can 
affect the audio volume.
Any information about the advanced features of iMovie or QT that are accessible 
to us would be a great help from the other movie makers among us.

Re: iTools: a revised and better opinion

2014-08-30 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi,  I'd like to recomend musicbox as an exceptional way of handling the 
tagging issue.  I genuinely love this program and by time I found it, the 
author had discontinued production.  If it's not still out there somewhere I 
could provide it I'm sure.

ITunes never worked for me.  The more I tried it, the more it broke.  I put up 
with it constantly for about 6 months.  Every time I would ask the list how to 
do something in Itunes I would get back, oh, it's really easy, followed by a 
list of 20 or 30 steps needed to accomplish a task.  I've tried to teach it to 
some of my clients who insist that they want to use it, but really it's just 
painful.

Best,

 Earlier today, I did a short review on iTools and recommended that, instead, 
 it might be better to make piece with the way in which iTunes operates and 
 manages files.  This final opinion was based on the dificulty I encountered 
 while trying to import videos shot on my iPhone back in to my iPhone and 
 getting an unknown error  Well, After synching my iPhone with iTunes and 
 working out how to load videos to it, I have decided again to attempt the 
 process of importing videos to my iPhone.  Upon the more recent try, I met 
 with success.  For those of us who use iTunes to manage our iDevices, iTunes 
 still stands as the better way to do this because of the ease with which one 
 can properly tag meda data for adding files in to an iPhone.  However, for 
 individuals looking for a non-iTunes alternative, iTools appears at the 
 moment to be the best bet:  with, of course, the understanding that many 
 things that iTunes can do for one in the way of tagging, and file convertion, 
 one must find other ways to do one'sself if one is going to use such third 
 party solutions as iTools.  Again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance 
 of the fact that if you are going to break away from iTunes, you need to come 
 to grips with having to do many tasks manually that using iTunes makes very 
 easy.  However, if you are bound and determined not to use iTunes, may I 
 suggest the following solutions.
 
 1.  Easy Music converter.  From the Mac app store.  This app, (though not 
 free) does provide an exelent encoder for .4ma and has fewer audible 
 artifacts than most third party .4ma encoders.  Some meta data tagging is 
 offered here too.
 
 2.  Burn.  For CD burning, this is an exelent third party tool and is very 
 straight forward and easy to use.  Also, simly Burns should not be overlooked 
 as it is also fully accessible and is very similar in ability.
 
 3.  For CD wripping, Max is the way to go.  It too is fully accessible.  
 Though a little dated by now, it still serves as an exelent wripper and even 
 has .4ma encoding and I believe offers some meta data tagging.
 
 4.  Finally, for actually transfering all that stuff back and forth, iTools.
 
 5.  Want all four solutions wrapped in to one?  Then stay with iTunes.

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

2014-08-30 Thread Cheryl Homiak
Okay, here is what I posted about this a couple of months ago. I have been busy 
and haven't been reading this thread so I apologize if this has already been 
tried and no longer works. It isn't ideal but it is doable if it still works.

You have to do this blind, but then what else is new - grin! First, if you 
haven't used selective sync, I think you assume all boxes are checked by 
default. First, open dropbox on the computer you want to change - the dropbox 
directory, that is. See if all folders are there. Take note of what you wish to 
uncheck or, if you have used selective sync before and have unchecked folders, 
what you want to check. Click on your dropbox icon in menu extras and click 
settings and account. For selective sync, do vo-space on change settings. Go to 
the browser, interact with it and turn on quick nav. Arrow down to each folder 
and, if you wish, arrow right and down to do subfolders. Don't try to use 
vo-space; just do space on the ones you want to change. You won't be able to 
tell what is checked or unchecked, but having checked your dropbox folder you 
will know what you want to change and can just do space accordingly on whatever 
needs to be changed. When done, do vo-space on the update button and then do 
vo-space on update again in response to the alert. Very soon, if not 
immediately, you should be able to go back to dropbox directory in finder and 
verify that your changes took place. One less job for your sighted friends and 
family!

Re: iTools: a revised and better opinion

2014-08-30 Thread Ray Foret Jr
Well, I hate to dissapoint you , but, there does seem to be a major issue with 
adding music to an iPhone with iTools.  It seems that, when you add music to an 
iPhone, iTools has a nasty habit of stripping out the meta data tagging so 
that, when you go to look for it in the music section, you don't see the tracks 
where they should be.  I tried using the tagging in Easy Music converter, and 
even tagged the files I wanted to add using iTunes.  Every single time iTools 
strips out the meta data so that no matter how precice you are with your 
tagging, it's no good because all that work you did ading the correct album 
names and so forth gets stripped out when iTools adds those files to your 
iPhone.  So, again, it appears to fall short.

What a shame since they came so close to getting it right.

 Earlier today, I did a short review on iTools and recommended that, instead, 
 it might be better to make piece with the way in which iTunes operates and 
 manages files.  This final opinion was based on the dificulty I encountered 
 while trying to import videos shot on my iPhone back in to my iPhone and 
 getting an unknown error  Well, After synching my iPhone with iTunes and 
 working out how to load videos to it, I have decided again to attempt the 
 process of importing videos to my iPhone.  Upon the more recent try, I met 
 with success.  For those of us who use iTunes to manage our iDevices, iTunes 
 still stands as the better way to do this because of the ease with which one 
 can properly tag meda data for adding files in to an iPhone.  However, for 
 individuals looking for a non-iTunes alternative, iTools appears at the 
 moment to be the best bet:  with, of course, the understanding that many 
 things that iTunes can do for one in the way of tagging, and file 
 convertion, one must find other ways to do one'sself if one is going to use 
 such third party solutions as iTools.  Again, I cannot emphasize enough the 
 importance of the fact that if you are going to break away from iTunes, you 
 need to come to grips with having to do many tasks manually that using 
 iTunes makes very easy.  However, if you are bound and determined not to use 
 iTunes, may I suggest the following solutions.
 
 1.  Easy Music converter.  From the Mac app store.  This app, (though not 
 free) does provide an exelent encoder for .4ma and has fewer audible 
 artifacts than most third party .4ma encoders.  Some meta data tagging is 
 offered here too.
 
 2.  Burn.  For CD burning, this is an exelent third party tool and is very 
 straight forward and easy to use.  Also, simly Burns should not be 
 overlooked as it is also fully accessible and is very similar in ability.
 
 3.  For CD wripping, Max is the way to go.  It too is fully accessible.  
 Though a little dated by now, it still serves as an exelent wripper and even 
 has .4ma encoding and I believe offers some meta data tagging.
 
 4.  Finally, for actually transfering all that stuff back and forth, iTools.
 
 5.  Want all four solutions wrapped in to one?  Then stay with iTunes.

Re: playing computer audio to an airplay system?

2014-08-30 Thread Barry Hadder
Well, you should just transmit audio from safari to your system and it should 
work without vo playing through it.  I've always used an airport express for 
this, so if your system has built-in airplay than there might be some issue 
that I don't know about.  I'm just guessing about that so don't take that as 
fact.  It really should work.
Might just be a volume issue.  You can increase the volume with command-up.

The short answer is that I don't know.  Hopefully I said something useful 
though.

With that in mind, I want to share with you that with regards to
manipulating data on my home network, I pretty much stick to WiFi.

However, Today I needed to copy an enormous amount of data from a NAS
drive
to one of my computers.  Slowly but surely I am removing all data from NAS
for reasons described in prior threads.

So, as I began the copy process, I was told that it would take about 6
hours.

Then, I remembered that along with my new Mac, I purchased a Thunderbolt
to
Ethernet adaptor.

Using a wired connection, the same amount of data was transferred in less
than 35 minutes.

So, no matter how much progress we make, let's remember and revere the
old-school style that came before as, in some cases, it's still going
strong.

Happily,

Mark

Re: with respect to iTools

2014-08-30 Thread Ray Foret Jr
I think that, for some of them, it may have to do with a lack of seemingly 
simple instructions on how to add music, add videos, check this or that album 
or this or that song to synch or not to synch.  I think also, to speak frankly, 
that some of us, (doubtless without meaning to) instruct others in how to do 
something with far more steps than are strictly necessary:  and, as a 
consequence of all the above, iTunes resisters, (such as I myself once was) 
claim it's to complicated.  As for iTools, I can't argue with its accessibility 
for the most part, nor with its ease of use.  However, I do have one very 
serious issue that I have found.  Apparently, when you add tracks to an iDevoce 
after going through all the work of ading meta data taggs and making sure that 
everything is correct, all that work goes down the drain when iTools adds the 
tracks to the device because, for some blasted reason, all the critically 
important meta data gets stripped out so that the iPhone cannot see exactly 
where to put the new tracks and thus, they don't show up in the albums you've 
done the work to put together.  Yes, the songs are added:  but, the only way in 
which to locate them is to go to the more tab and, from there, select songs 
rather than albums.  IF you just want songs, that's okay I guess, but, if you 
are like me and you instist on properly organized material, that's a real drag. 
 That's why iTunes is still the better way to proceed.  With iTunes, you can 
add .wav files, have iTunes do the .4ma encoding for you and, of course, it 
will even move individual files in to the appropriate folders depending on how 
you tag them.  And, for my money, that's much better.

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

2014-08-30 Thread Phil Halton
That's brilliant. I never thought of abandoning the VO commands and just using 
spacebar. I'm going to try this although I don't really want to change my 
Dropbox too much. Thanks a lot.

By the way, is the quick nav part really necessary? Or could you just do it 
without quick nav I wonder.

 Okay, here is what I posted about this a couple of months ago. I have been 
 busy and haven't been reading this thread so I apologize if this has already 
 been tried and no longer works. It isn't ideal but it is doable if it still 
 works.
 
 You have to do this blind, but then what else is new - grin! First, if you 
 haven't used selective sync, I think you assume all boxes are checked by 
 default. First, open dropbox on the computer you want to change - the dropbox 
 directory, that is. See if all folders are there. Take note of what you wish 
 to uncheck or, if you have used selective sync before and have unchecked 
 folders, what you want to check. Click on your dropbox icon in menu extras 
 and click settings and account. For selective sync, do vo-space on change 
 settings. Go to the browser, interact with it and turn on quick nav. Arrow 
 down to each folder and, if you wish, arrow right and down to do subfolders. 
 Don't try to use vo-space; just do space on the ones you want to change. You 
 won't be able to tell what is checked or unchecked, but having checked your 
 dropbox folder you will know what you want to change and can just do space 
 accordingly on whatever needs to be changed. When done, do vo-space on the 
 update button and then do vo-space on update again in response to the alert. 
 Very soon, if not immediately, you should be able to go back to dropbox 
 directory in finder and verify that your changes took place. One less job for 
 your sighted friends and family!

Re: playing computer audio to an airplay system?

I'm sure that it works but you just need to keep working with it.

 then to trim off beginning and ending junk by splitting and deleting the 
 split parts you don't want. Anything beyond that gets a little more 
 difficult. 
 Also, in iMovie, I don't think you can do that either. You have to adjust 
 your levels and wet/dry mix the way you want it to sound in the movie before 
 recording as it can't be adjusted after the fact. Though, in iMovie, you can 
 affect the audio volume.
 Any information about the advanced features of iMovie or QT that are

mailto:rforet7...@comcast.net wrote:


Earlier today, I did a short review on iTools and recommended that,
instead, it might be better to make piece with the way in which iTunes
operates and manages files.  This final opinion was based on the
dificulty I encountered while trying to import videos shot on my
iPhone back in to my iPhone and getting an unknown error  Well,
After synching my iPhone with iTunes and working out how to load
videos to it, I have decided again to attempt the process of importing
videos to my iPhone.  Upon the more recent try, I met with success.
 For those of us who use iTunes to manage our iDevices, iTunes still
stands as the better way to do this because of the ease with which one
can properly tag meda data for adding files in to an iPhone.  However,
for individuals looking for a non-iTunes alternative, iTools appears
at the moment to be the best bet:  with, of course, the understanding
that many things that iTunes can do for one in the way of tagging, and
file convertion, one must find other ways to do one'sself if one is
going to use such third party solutions as iTools.  Again, I cannot
emphasize enough the importance of the fact that if you are going to
break away from iTunes, you need to come to grips with having to do
many tasks manually that using iTunes makes very easy.  However, if
you are bound and determined not to use iTunes, may I suggest the
following solutions.

1.  Easy Music converter.  From the Mac app store.  This app, (though
not free) does provide an exelent encoder for .4ma and has fewer
audible artifacts than most third party .4ma encoders.  Some meta data
tagging is offered here too.

2.  Burn.  For CD burning, this is an exelent third party tool and is
very straight forward and easy to use.  Also, simly Burns should not
be overlooked as it is also fully accessible and is very similar in
ability.

3.  For CD wripping, Max is the way to go.  It too is fully
accessible.  Though a little dated by now, it still serves as an
exelent wripper and even has .4ma encoding and I believe offers some
meta data tagging.

4.  Finally, for actually transfering all that stuff back and forth,
iTools.

5.  Want all four solutions wrapped in to one?  Then stay with iTunes.

New iPad app to learn Braille

Just heard about this on Applevis, going to give this a try as could 
help those who need a refresher, look for Braille Tutor and is a free 
download with grade 1 lessons provided at no charge. The grade 2 lessons 
can be purchased through the app, also known as an in-app purchase. 
Might be a good way for you to prepare for the new Braille input system

Two ReadKit Questions

2014-08-30 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I've been using ReadKit a lot recently, since I can't get the version of Lire 
that supports Feedly on my iOS6 iPod and my iPhone is still in surgery. 
Overall, I like ReadKit, but I wonder if I can change how it displays things? 
Right now, each article in the table is shown as:
source, time, title, summary
I want:
title, source, summary, time
Is this doable?

Also, how to you delete just one item? When I move through a bunch of articles 
in RSS feeds they are marked as read, then I clear read items, However, when 
reading Instapaper articles, I'd rather just delete one at a time; I read them 
all, I don't skim through those like I do RSS, so I want to read one and erase 
or archive it. I can't find a command to do this, though.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on either of these questions.

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

2014-08-30 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Thanks, Cheryl. That certainly seems to be the key. I tried that but somehow I 
must have unchecked a lot of boxes inadvertently (despite being very careful), 
as after Dropbox applied the changes I lost most of my folders from this Mac. 
I've now tried to re-check them and am now waiting for those changes to be 
applied. I hope that takes me back to normal (fingers crossed). Perhaps this 
has something to do with my previous attempts at setting this up, though each 
of those times the update button remained dimmed and thus no changes should 
have been kept.

Anyway, it's something for others to be wary about and seems it's still worth 
writing to Dropbox and informing them of the issue. I'll go look for an 
appropriate contact details now.

Re: PDF Pen Pro

2014-08-30 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Yeah, it would be awesome if they could figure it out, but I think it will be 
difficult and perhaps a while off. In the meantime I think the more pressing 
issue is for them to get other form fields such as checkboxes and pop up menus 
working in forms which have been built with accessibility in mind.

Next it would be great if they could get the text to read better as in Preview, 
and if they could get the heading and form field tags etcetera to work like 
normal html headings and forms that would be fantastic.

And then there's the features to reorder pages, insert new pages, create tables 
of contents and use them to navigate large documents. These features would be 
great if they worked with VoiceOver. I haven't fully explored them yet but I 
suspect there are some issues for now.

Certainly please let us know if there's anything else we can help with by 
testing.

 there is an option in PDF Pen Pro to find the form fields. It goes through

Re: Braille at login screen

Cheryl,
   That option is checked. Where else might I look? I have been poking 
around and have lost track of where I looked already. Voiceover Utilty? 
I looked there but did not see what I needed. Thanks.

Yes, if you get voiceover at login this should include braille at login. Go into 
System Preferences  user accounts and interact with the table and go down to 
login options. Then stop interacting and go right looking for something about 
having voiceover on at login and check that box. This should give you voiceover 
and therefore braille at login. I don:t have time to stop and look right now so I 
hope these directions will suffice.

A few issues with Boot Camp, and a heads-up for users of JAWS

2014-08-30 Thread Grant Hardy
Hello all,

I encountered Wi-Fi issues on a late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro  while running 
Windows 8.1 professional via Boot Camp. I therefore decided to do some 
troubleshooting. Really the only troubleshooting suggestion I could find apart 
from erasing my Windows partition and starting from scratch was to repair the 
Boot Camp support software. I tried to do this but got errors saying that the 
installer could not complete and to try it again at a later time.

Upon doing some research, I discovered that at least a few people got these 
errors who had third-party video drivers installed, and therefore the fix was 
to temporarily uninstall all third-party video devices, repair the Boot Camp 
installation, then reinstall them. As you probably know, JAWS does in fact 
install a video driver to assist with screen reading, so I uninstalled it 
temporarily and sure enough, this was the fix. The Boot Camp installer was able 
to run at that point and repaired the support software.

Unfortunately, it seems that uninstalling the Freedom Scientific Video 
Intercept drivers triggered my JAWS activation to be lost. Clearly this should 
not have happened, but I've encountered many situations where this has happened 
to JAWS over the years for fairly minor system tweaks, or even smaller  things 
such as turning off the Wi-Fi switch on a laptop,  and occasionally you can fix 
the problem by putting things back to the way they were. I hoped that 
reinstalling the Video Intercept drivers would have re-activated my copy of 
JAWS, but it did not. This feels like a bug, and I think users of JAWS should 
be aware that if they are going to repair or update their Boot Camp Support 
Software, it is likely that they will lose their activation. Since Apple does 
post updates to the support software from time to time, I think this is 
something to keep in mind.

On another note my Wi-Fi issues are unfortunately not resolved. Among other 
things, Wi-Fi does not work after the computer sleeps. Windows thinks that I am 
using a separate Wi-Fi adapter (e.g. the label  of the adapter changes from 
Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi 2, and no connections can be established until the computer 
is rebooted. Also, the connection drops quite frequently--and again, this only 
happens while using Windows and not with OS X.

Just wanted to share, but any insight would of course be welcomed.

Grant

Re: Braille at login screen

2014-08-30 Thread Cheryl Homiak
Hmmm, as far as I know, that should do it. My braille edge comes up at the 
login screen and I don:t think I did anything special to get it to work other 
than enabling voiceover at login.

Cheryl

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Yes, those are my settings too. Are you using it as bluetooth or usb? I usually 
use it with usb on my Macs because then I can switch back and forth as I use it 
with bluetooth with my i-devices. I haven't tried to see when the display 
connects to the computer if using bluetooth.
