Re: Saving an attached txt file from within Messages on Mac

2016-08-24 Thread John Panarese
  Are you running El Capitan? Also, I’m assuming you are looking at the actual 
File Transfer window and not the message area?

Hi John,

thanks bunches but I see nothing like what you are saying here.

I do have a file transfer window but there is no scroll area or ‘show in 
Finder’ button.

The only thing I see in that window is the file name itself and the type of the 
extension.

Cheers!

I've never received a response from Apple to anything at all whether it's a bug

they all just go to a black hole. Sure, you'll get the generic form letter if

Using Apple TV the fourth generation without a TV

2016-08-24 Thread Mary Otten
Apple viz. recently published a podcast done by Lisa Sullenger on this topic. 
She mentions a specific HDMI to audio converter that she used with her stereo. 
The one thing she did not touch upon in her podcast has to do with an issue 
that has been raised on these lists before regarding the usability of this 
system with video content that is protected. I can't remember the name of the 
specification or coding or whenever it is involved that must be seen in order 
for the AppleTV to pick up the content. Generally, if the AppleTV is not 
connected to an actual video output which is actually turned on, you can't get 
a lot of this protected video content. So I am wondering about this system with 
this particular converter. Has anyone used it or any other converter connecting 
AppleTV fourth-generation to a stereo with no TV present and still able to 
receive the full complement of all the video channels, such as Netflix, HBO etc.

Re: Saving an attached txt file from within Messages on Mac

2016-08-24 Thread John Panarese
You need to use the file transfer window to save the file in a Message. You 
should be able to command-accent to it or choose it from the Window Menu. 
There, you will find a File Transfer list scroll area. Interact and you will 
find the transfer you have. The, Show in Finder, button should save the file 
for you.

Saving an attached txt file from within Messages on Mac

2016-08-24 Thread Cara Quinn
HI All,

Hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Also, my good wishes go out to those in Italy and their families.

Okay, so I shared a file with myself, using the Messages app. I wanted to 
simply save this file to my Mac from within the Messages app.

I.E. I received this file on my Mac and want to save this file from within the 
message.

I have done this before with files but for some reason Voiceover and the Mac 
seem to be behaving like PITAs for me today. :) So I am wondering if I have 
missed a step or something here.

I see the message with the attached file. Voiceover sees this as a group with 
which I can interact.

I interact with the group and then see the file name and extension both also 
shown as groups. If I interact again, each of these groups are just shown as 
text titles. I.E. I only see the title of the file or the title of the 
extension. (which is in this case, txt)

I have tried doing VO space at each level of interaction and have also tried 
bringing up a context menu (with VO shift m) and only see the option to clear 
my chat.

I have also tried routing the mouse to the particular group and clicking / 
double clicking my trackpad and also no luck there either.

Lastly, I have tried using VO shift space and the only way I can get anything 
to happen here is to do this twice. I.E. to simulate a double click with 
Voiceover.

When I do this, QuickLook comes up and I only have sharing options and the 
option to open in Text Edit. I have no option to simply save the file.

In this case, I did open the file in Text Edit and then saved it but this seems 
like a ridiculous amount of work just to save a text file from a message.

What am I missing here?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

thanks so much to you all and I hope you are having a great day!

Cheers!

   I only tested the iOS version to check that connection was not 
broken. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mac version solved it. Works 
fine now.

Re: Skype for Mac

2016-08-24 Thread Doug Lee
Skype For Business was formerly Microsoft Lync 2013, before which it was 
Microsoft Lync 2010, and before that
Microsoft Office Communicator. Recent versions of this evolving application 
have appeared visually more like
Skype, though under the hood they have remained more like Lync. From an 
accessibility standpoint, I consider
them completely different applications.

Another difference is that Skype For Business (SFB) requires a server to be set 
up and is thus generally found
in office environments, where the server is set up by the company for the 
employees to use. Skype is more
decentralized and requires no such administrative setup.

Continuing with the office-centric paradigm, SFB can interface with Outlook, 
calendars, etc., to create a more
seamless environment for managing contacts, meetings, record keeping, and so 
on. Skype can interface with
contact lists, but to my knowledge not anything for managing email, 
meetings/appointments, etc.

Hth.

Re: I successfully instlal windows on my Mac computer!, but I just hve some questions

2016-08-24 Thread Jonathan Cohn
Simon,

The problem is that insert and jaws keys are not the same thing in laptop
layout. Laptop layout uses caps lock for the JAWS key, and but not and in
some cases also allows insert+somekey to match jaws+somekey.

But all is fixable with some effort since every jaws keystroke is
configurable in a text file that can also be mostly managed by the keyboard
manager.
But this is not an an Apple product so enough of this unless we are
creating a specific layout for Macintosh computers running JAWS in a VM.

On a side note, those three keys on a PC keyboard like PrintScreen are
mapped by default on Macintosh English El Capitain systems to F13 F14 and
F15. Another interesting bit of trivia is that the insert key for PC's is
called the "help" key on the above mentioned keyboard layout.

Oh, it is so much fun to spend 40% of my time in a VMWare environment at
least I have keyboards to swap as needed.

Best Wishes,

Jonathan

RE: Recording audio and picture from Safari on Mac

2016-08-24 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Andrew,

 Is this not possible within quicktime?

 I know you can  have quicktime on your mac computer pick up your iPhone via a 
cable connection so if you tried playing this video on your ios device via 
safari and then pick it up on the quicktime of yoru computer   you could record 
it.

 Just a thought, the other would be an app that has a free version, 
I think it's called Camtasia 
There is a paid ver and a free one that you can record screan captures and I 
think with video.

Hi,

RE: 6S Desktop not speaking

2016-08-24 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi,

 Just wondering if you might have muted things on the screan,

 Try a three fingered double tap and see what happens.

That will mute vo but you said something about the status bar indication which 
suggests things are active

E.T.,

If you mean  by reboot, turning the iPhone off and back on again, no joy.  The 
home screen is still not talking.

Anything else anybody?

Well shucks. Just tested the iOS app and it connected there. So I will 
delete Skype from the Mac and then install it again. So strange.

MenuBar Stats

2016-08-24 Thread Terje Strømberg
Hi,

MenuBar Stats is the name in app store mac osx. The rest of the name is: System 
Monitor & Memory Clean & Battery Health. After install it resides in menu extra 
shift-control-option + m twice. It monitors your memory, cpu, upload/download 
network, can make short cuts for disk utility, mac monitor utility built into 
osx(activity monitor), terminal etc. and record keyboard commands for each. 
MenuBar Stats also have its own monitor in this menu bar by using the interact 
voice over command shift - control - option - down arrow one time for different 
modules, two more times to interact with the modules. Befor this you have 
options and preferences. All looks accessible except for deleting a keybord 
command perhaps.


The $ is about $7. It may be worth the money if you like to monitor the mac 
hardware and open mac osx utilitys with a shortcut or via the menu option 
button from the MenuBar Stats app in the menu extra. Only monitor, but opens 
utilitys like disk utility, terminal.

Take care
