Re: VM Statistics
Alex, Here is information about memory. Sorry, apparently this was a Mavericks feature. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/os-x-10-9/17/ This is the Arz Technica review of Mavericks which I read at the same time I was reading the Yosemite review because there were cross references back. I realized while reading this that I never red or at least understood his description of the Swift Programming Language. It is fairly interesting if you have ever study compiler design.

Disabling the preview pane. Put Mail into classic view by opening Mail preferences (Cmd-Comma) and selecting Viewing in the toolbar then checking the Use classic layout check box. Close Mail preferences and navigate to the messages table. Do not interact with the messages table but press VO-Down Arrow. You should be on a horizontal splitter. Make sure the Trackpad commander and Quick Nav are off. Bring the mouse (VO-Cmd-F5). Press down on the bottom edge of the trackpad with one finger, and use another finger to stroke the trackpad toward you. There should be nothing below the horizontal splitter the next time you press VO-Down Arrow. Sometimes it takes several attempts to get it right.

Re: super duper
I myself have not used carbon, but i do use SuperDuper. Regarding your Partitions You’re going to have a problem if you want to use Time Machine (TM) and SuperDuper together. Time Machine requires a partition of it’s own, or at least, 1 partition that isn’t being used by anything else. The format of your TimeMachine partition is fine, though you’ll have to either put your TM backup on another hard drive, or not use Time Machine, period. Booting from Super Duper is fine. It’s essentially considered another startup disk, just as your Mac’s internal hard drive would be. Select your backup drive in startup disk prefs, and click on restart. The Mac will boot off of your SuperDuper disk like nothing happened. hard Drive Space SuperDuper images take up the size of your Mac’s Drive. So, if your Mac has a 1TB drive, it’s suggested you devote 1 partition of say a 2 partitioned drive to Super Duper, that has at least 1TB. If you don’t, SuperDuper won’t back up correctly. There is a feature of Super Duper called Smart Update. Smart Update updates what hasn’t been updated, and wastes no time trying to back up the entire drive. It erases the partition you told it to copy to, and makes it like your internal drive is. Meaning, whatever structure your internal mac HD has, that’s what your external drive’s partition will look like, with the exception of, SuperDuper is making that 1 partition bootable. One Thing To Note Warning! - Don’t Copy Files Manually To The Bootable Partition If SuperDuper makes a backup, do not attempt copying files direct to the partition. You’ll screw the partition up and make it not boot. Even if you went into startup disk, once you copy files manually to the partition, you’ll mess up the fact that the disk was ever bootable. For you to solve this problem, the permanent fix would be for you to use SuperDuper’s smart update,which will remake the disk bootable, based upon changed data on your Mac’s internal hD. I hope my explaining helps you in a wise choice in what to buy.

super duper
Hi all, I’ve been considering purchasing super duper in some time and had some questions. firstly, will the image super duper creates takes up a lot of hard drive space? I ask this because my portable external is partitioned with 1.5 gigs being NTFS and 500 gigs being extended journal. I use the extended journal for my time machine back ups. Secondly, I understand one can use this image to boot up with. How can this be done and is it accessible with voiceover? Thirdly,, I am using time machine. does having a super duper image take the place of time machine? In other words, do I continue using time machine concurrently with super duper? And lastly, I understand that carbon copy cloner does the very same thing as super duper. Is there an advantage of using CCC over super? Which product is more VO accessible?

Re: AppleScript and TimeMachine
Indeed there is. I don't like having to open System Preferences just to do this, and I hoped there would be a cleaner way. After all, if you're going to run a script that has to open the Time Machine preference pane anyway, it's little different from opening and reading the pane yourself, at least that's my feeling on the subject. On Mar 2, 2015, at 9:38 AM, Jonathan C Cohn jon.c.c...@gmail.com wrote: TimeMachine uses the System Preference pane to control it, and there is useful information in the system control pane like Disk size and backup status. So we could probably find the “id” string of the time machine preference panel, and then go from there. I know I saw a script in the UI Elements folder called Get User Name that retrieves information from the Users preference pane so that could be a starting point.

Re: VM 7 Microsoft Question
I don’t have a direct answer for you but have a few things you could check. The first thing I would try is to put your screen reader in key describe mode to ensure you are hitting the alt key. The alt key would be the option key unless you’ve mapped it to something else. There are other things to check depending on how you have configured fusion.

Re: Preview pane
Hello Stacey, I replied to you on this subject a couple of weeks ago but here are the instructions once again. Disabling the preview pane. Put Mail into classic view by opening Mail preferences (Cmd-Comma) and selecting Viewing in the toolbar then checking the Use classic layout check box. Close Mail preferences and navigate to the messages table. Do not interact with the messages table but press VO-Down Arrow. You should be on a horizontal splitter. Make sure the Trackpad commander and Quick Nav are off. Bring the mouse (VO-Cmd-F5). Press down on the bottom edge of the trackpad with one finger, and use another finger to stroke the trackpad toward you. There should be nothing below the horizontal splitter the next time you press VO-Down Arrow. Sometimes it takes several attempts to get it right. From now on, you should be able to read messages by pressing Return.

Re: Talking dashboard help.
It's a small set of AppleScript scripts I put together. They let you hear things like the time/date, battery status, wifi network, volume setting, CPU status, and so on. Here's the link to the zip file. In there is a file called Readme.rtf, which should explain everything you need to know as far as using them. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17005121/talking%20dashboard.zip On Mar 5, 2015, at 1:27 PM, Juan Hernandez juanhernande...@gmail.com wrote: What is talking dashboard, and where can I get it?

Once you have selected the proper tab, use vo-right arrow. You will pass the rest of the available tabs first, then a checkbox labeled Enable Keyboard Commander. Be sure this is checked, and remember that you can toggle this commander on or off at any time with vo-shift-k. 3. Continue to the right. You will next encounter a popup menu that lets you select which Option key to use. It is set to the right one by default, but you may wish to use the left one, or both. Make the desired selection from this menu. 4. Once that's done, continue right. The next thing you find will be the Keyboard Commander table, which holds all the assignments already set up. Find the row in the table whose command you want to change (or assign, if you've just made a new entry--see below). Don't interact with the table, then use up or down arrow by itself, to read both the key and its assignment at once. 5. To add a new command, vo-right past the table, find the Add button, and vo-space. VoiceOver probably won't say anything, but you will be placed in an edit field where you can type the character to which you want to assign an action. Type it, then vo-right once to the Command Menu button and move to Step 8. 6. If you instead wish to change an existing assignment, find its row and interact until you are on the edit field containing the current character. Delete that character and type a new one. If you want to leave the character in place but change what it does, find the row and activate the Command Menu Button without changing the character in the edit field. Note that the name of this button will reflect the current assignment. Once you are on the popup menu, move to Step 8. 7. On the row you want to change, press space. If you have interacted with the table, you will need to vo-right past the key and press vo-space on the menu button to its right. Basically, don't interact with the table; it's easier. 8. Now that you've opened the popup menu of commands, you have a plethora of options. We want to assign a script, but keep in mind how powerful Commanders can be. Anyway, we want the very last option in the menu: Custom Commands. Find that, hit right arrow, and then choose Run AppleScript Script…. 9. Now, you are in a standard Finder dialog that will only show you folders and AppleScript files. Browse to wherever you chose to put the Talking Dashboard scripts, pick the one you want, and press enter. 10. That's all there is to it.

There's a time/date one, one for battery, one for current wifi status, and more. Most of you also know I've wanted to add a script for upcoming reminders and calendar events, but I could never get it working right, and I didn't like that it would always force Reminders or Calendar to launch. Well, the good news is that I can overcome both problems (most likely, but no promises) by accessing the EKEventStore through Cocoa. If that's Greek to you, the bottom line is that I can probably do this, but it requires OS10.9 or later, maybe even 10.10 or later. I'm on 10.10, but I'm wondering how many people this would affect? Existing scripts would continue to work, but if I find a faster/easier way to do what they currently do that also uses Cocoa, I'll do it. Plus, I could probably revamp and expand the template system, since I would no longer need to use my own hacked-together solution but could instead use a real, Cocoa-based one. I'd probably archive what I have and put the existing scripts in a subfolder, so those who can't run the new ones don't need to, but I would no longer support them. So, basically, if you use Talking Dashboard, on which version(s) of OS X do you use it? -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

There just has to be some setting that I have enabled or she has disabled, other sound effects are working on her Mac. - Bill Leader Dog Holland - Clothes make the man.

Alex, Can you send me the steps on how to add a script to my keyboard commander again? I did this with the battery status but would like to add others in the file such as download info. I do not remember how I did this. Thanks for any help Feel free to write privately.

Re: Talking dashboard help.
Hi Stacey, To add a script to your keyboard commander, you’ll do the following: Access your keyboard commander area by going to vo Utility, commanders, keyboard. Activate the add button, and then choose a key you’d like to be pressed in conjunction with the option key to access the download notifier script. Then you’ll click on the command menu button, and go down to custom commands which is a sub menu. You’ll go to the option that says run apple script. Activate that, and you’ll be put in a standard finder dialog where you can access the file. Wherever you put the script folder, you’ll need to browse to that, and then choose the file that’s called, download notifier. Press enter, and the command should be set. So the next time you press option and your selected key for that script, it should speak the information. HTH, Rachel.

Clean OS X restore with TM data restore
I am considering a clean OS X install and file restoration from Time Machine. Are these the correct steps to follow? 1 clean install of OS X from Recovery mode or Yosemite USB install drive, with hard drive wipe from within disk utilities first. 2 Use migration assistant to restore data from Time Capsule. Or, should I be using the TM item in Recovery panel to do the data restore? From some research on the web it looked like Migration Assistant was the proper way to go for data restore. Basically, I want to get my system back to the same state it is in now, but with a clean install of OS X system. thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Clean OS X restore with TM data restore
I would go with a final Time Machine backup to make sure everything is safe, followed by a clean install from a USB drive, and then restoration of the individual files and folders from your Time Machine backup, without using Migration Assistant. That utility tends to bring over other things as well which somewhat undo the effects of a clean install, such as your preferences.

Re: Talking dashboard help.
Here's a section that will be in the next update's Readme file. ###Keyboard Commander Since most people like to assign some of Talking Dashboard's scripts to keystrokes, I have put instructions on how to do this below. The process will be similar, but not exactly the same, for other commanders. 1. See the previous section to navigate and select the Keyboard Commander tab in VoiceOver Utility Commanders. 2. Once you have selected the proper tab, use vo-right arrow. You will pass the rest of the available tabs first, then a checkbox labeled Enable Keyboard Commander. Be sure this is checked, and remember that you can toggle this commander on or off at any time with vo-shift-k. 3. Continue to the right. You will next encounter a popup menu that lets you select which Option key to use. It is set to the right one by default, but you may wish to use the left one, or both. Make the desired selection from this menu. 4. Once that's done, continue right. The next thing you find will be the Keyboard Commander table, which holds all the assignments already set up. Find the row in the table whose command you want to change (or assign, if you've just made a new entry--see below). Don't interact with the table, then use up or down arrow by itself, to read both the key and its assignment at once. 5. To add a new command, vo-right past the table, find the Add button, and vo-space. VoiceOver probably won't say anything, but you will be placed in an edit field where you can type the character to which you want to assign an action. Type it, then vo-right once to the Command Menu button and move to Step 8. 6. If you instead wish to change an existing assignment, find its row and interact until you are on the edit field containing the current character. Delete that character and type a new one. If you want to leave the character in place but change what it does, find the row and activate the Command Menu Button without changing the character in the edit field. Note that the name of this button will reflect the current assignment. Once you are on the popup menu, move to Step 8. 7. On the row you want to change, press space. If you have interacted with the table, you will need to vo-right past the key and press vo-space on the menu button to its right. Basically, don't interact with the table; it's easier. 8. Now that you've opened the popup menu of commands, you have a plethora of options. We want to assign a script, but keep in mind how powerful Commanders can be. Anyway, we want the very last option in the menu: Custom Commands. Find that, hit right arrow, and then choose Run AppleScript Script…. 9. Now, you are in a standard Finder dialog that will only show you folders and AppleScript files. Browse to wherever you chose to put the Talking Dashboard scripts, pick the one you want, and press enter. 10. That's all there is to it. Once you've made all the assignments you want, simply close the VoiceOver Utility.
