Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Noel Romey]

It may be an issue with your screen reader video driver. To get it to work you 
will need tl either wait for the update to roll to you or manually uninstall 
the video driver and then run upgrade assisrNt. I don't think it has anything 
to do with VMware fusion.

DBT for Mac beta

   Anyone running this have any luck with feedback sent to DBT beta 
email address? I do not recall when I sent mine but am surprised at the 
lack of response. Maybe giving them $405 will facilitate a response? (smile)

dropbox on external drive

[Jean]

I have used my dropbox on an external drive for over a year and while there 
have been frustrations, it is certainly doable. The most important thing I have 
found is that you have to remember to quit dropbox prior to disconnecting the 
external drive. Similarly, the external drive should be connected for some time 
prior to starting dropbox. The most recent time I had trouble, the problem was 
rectified when I disconnected then reconnected the external drive then 
restarting dropbox. Also, remember that dropbox keeps files for 30 days after 
deletion so even if things become hopelessly tangled it is possible to relink 
everything and resync it. Finally, the dropbox web site where files are stored 
has been significantly improved and is now quite usable so even if you don’t 
want to use an external drive you can deselect the larger folders so they won’t 
be copied onto your drive. If you do this then you would just continue with the 
desktop app as before but you would only keep the files you need often on the 
desktop app. Moving files around on the web site can be a bit tricky though.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Grant]

Hi all,

I hope that this isn’t off-topic, but has anybody had success installing the 
Windows 10 Anniversary Update in a VMWare Fusion virtual machine?

I am using a Macbook Air mid-2015 (max specifications) and am receiving an 
error stating that my display is not compatible with Windows 10.

I am currently running Windows 10 build 10586 (the latest non-Insider version). 
The update is being rolled out gradually and wasn’t showing up for me, so I 
started the installation from this link: 
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/12387/windows-10-update-history?ocid=update_setting_client

During the process a compatibility check of my PC (i.e. virtual machine) was 
done and it was at that point that I received the error).

I’d love to hear thoughts and suggestions if folks have them.

Thanks!

Grant

A bit off topic - DOJ public comments until October 7th

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

This is a bit off topic, but for those interested the US Department of 
Justice is asking for public comment on their "supplemental notice of 
proposed rulemaking" around accessibility for public sector web sites. 
This set of regulations has had many setbacks and delays since it first 
was announced in 2010. Ideally once the public sector rule set is done 
it would then be somewhat cloned for the private sector. US court 
circuits have been split on whether the ADA applies to web sites so 
hopefully these regulations, whenever they come out, would make it clear 
that it does. Lainey Feingold, a well known disability rights lawyer 
here in the states, has a nice summary on how to file comments either 
directly or via the various advocacy groups (AFB, NFB, NAD etc.):

Re: Changing the location of my dropbox folder to an external drive

[michael babcock]

Hears an article that might help, with the important points taken out and put 
in this email:

"If you decide to move the folder, we recommend choosing a location on the same 
hard drive as your operating system. Dropbox won't work correctly if the 
Dropbox folder becomes inaccessible, which can happen if it's located on an 
external drive that gets disconnected.”
"• Moving the Dropbox folder to a drive with a non-default file system for the 
operating system may cause unexpected behavior.  3 of 4”
Click the Dropbox icon from your menu bar .

Click the gear icon.
Click Preferences…
Click Account.
Click the Dropbox location dropdown.
Choose a new location for your Dropbox.
Let Dropbox move your folder and its contents to the new location.
Dropbox Business users: If you've connected a personal and a work Dropbox 
, you'll see both of your Dropbox accounts 
listed here. Select the correct toggle before moving the Dropbox folder 
location.


A note on renaming: Your Dropbox folder will keep the same name as before, and 
can't be changed by using the move feature. Dropbox will not sync your Dropbox 
folder if it has been manually renamed or moved through your operating system. 
If Dropbox loses track of your Dropbox folder, it will attempt to re-sync the 
folder in its entirety using its last known location.
For our advanced users

If you want to put your Dropbox folder on an external drive, proceed with 
caution:

The Dropbox folder must be available when your computer boots and before the 
Dropbox desktop app starts. Some USB drives, for example, take some time to 
mount before your computer recognizes them. The Dropbox desktop app could start 
before such a drive is ready and get confused. You'll receive an error and 
Dropbox will give you the opportunity to relink your Dropbox account or exit if 
it is unable to find your Dropbox folder.
If the external drive is disconnected from the computer while Dropbox is 
running, there's a small chance that the app will start deleting files before 
realizing that the entire drive has been removed. Be extremely careful if using 
an external drive for your Dropbox folder.

Re: Changing the location of my dropbox folder to an external drive

[Michael Babcock]

I have not done this myself, but I'm pretty sure that you can press your 
VoiceOver plus him twice quickly, find the dropbox option, excess preferences, 
and change it there. Last time I looked it was a standard web view, and you can 
make changes in there. Could be wrong though.

Changing the location of my dropbox folder to an external drive

[Kristeen Hughes]

I recently upgraded to 1 TB of space on dropbox. My Mac hard drive, however, is 
only 500 GB. In order to fully utilize this upgrade, I would like to change the 
default location of my dropbox folder to a 4 TB external drive. I found out 
that this is done through the dropbox app under preferences. Since this app is 
totally inaccessible, does anyone know of another way of changing it? Is there 
a way through terminal mode that it can be done? Any help is appreciated.

Re: Playing BBC World Service Content on My Mac

[Craig Werner]

Hello, David, and thank you for responding.

I updated my Adobe Flash Player, and the iPlayer is now working well.
Oddly enough, when I looked at the Accessibility section of iPlayer
Help, I learned, if I read the help file correctly, that Safari wasn't
supported in OS X, but it is in iOS 9.x.  The wording of the file's
text is a bit ambiguous, so I may be misreading its intent (if files
can be said to have intentions).

Re: Playing BBC World Service Content on My Mac

[David Griffith]

I have not looked specifically for World Service but in the past I have 
beend able to play a lot of BBC Radio content  like BBBC Radio 4 simply 
through ITunes using its internet radio capacity.



I have not done this for at least a year so I would have to go back and 
check whether iTunes can still do this but it would be worth a look.

True, but like all operating systems, it clearly gets it's share of bloat and 
bugs over time.  I'll grant you, it takes far and away longer on mac OS, but 
still, seven years is enough by any standard I'd think.  

Appreciate the advice.

Playing BBC World Service Content on My Mac

[Craig Werner]

Hello, everyone.

I am a U.S. listener running OS X 10.10.5 on a MacBook Air.  I
am trying to play live stream of the BBC World Service via the BBC
iPlayer, but when I
press the "Play" button on the iPlayer Radio screen, nothing happens.
I have tried to activate the "Mute/Unmute" button and the various
buttons that increase the volume; but no matter what I do, I hear
nothing.  I'm not even sure if the buttons are being activated.  Has
anyone else experienced this problem?

Thank you for all help.

Craig

RE: Need two bugts tested, please.

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Chris,

Yeah I’m not running watch oS 3 or TVOS betas, but wondered if they might have 
matched what I spoke of in my earlier IOS beta issues.

I apologize, but unless you are actually running the beta, I cannot, and will 
not discuss these issues.

If anyone's running either the Watch OS3 beta seed 3, or the TVOS beta Seed3, 
will you please contact me off list?

I'm having a few issues that are just totally! crazy bizarre!  I can't, nor 
will go into the specifics up here publicly, but we'll just leave it to say, I 
question if they're bugts, or if something weird is going on with my specific 
hardware.

Anyway, thanks.  My e-mail is:

clgillan...@gmail.com

Chris.

RE: using Sonos with multiple controllers?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Donna,

 I've not yet tried this but can't see why it wouldn't work.

 If you had the same music collection on the different devices hy wouldn't it 
work.

Hi Chris,

That's my next step.  But since I know there are several people on this list 
who use that system, I thought I'd ask here first.

By the way, in case others are interested, I've been thoroughly impressed by 
how accessible the Sonos app is.
Cheers,
Donna
