Using Track Changes with Pages on High Sierra

[Brianna Snyder]

Hello everyone, 

I was wondering if any of you had advice on how to use track changes on the 
latest version of Pages, while running High Sierra. 
I am able to view all of the comments, but there are times when I cannot see 
the text that the comment is referring to. 
For example, one such comment is that something in my writing is redundant. How 
do I efficiently navigate between the comments, and the text? 
If I use option with right or left arrows, I can navigate word by word. But who 
really wants to do that for a 100-page document? 
Therefore, any kind of advice to someone new to using track changes on Pages 
would be very appreciated. 

Thanks,
Brianna

RE: You Tube downloader?

[David Griffith]

I am coming very late to this thread.
I also got  nowhere with youtube dll but luckily the Ponts Media downloader 
provides an easy front end.
Basically there is an option in the nenu to update the Youtube dll engine for 
the program so it can be self updated fairly easily.
It works inconsistently with playlists but the function for downloading 
individual files seems fine.
You can download it from.

In the exact example given below the three question marks should be two hyphens

Re: VO friendly weay to delete old backups

[Steve Matzura]

Unless you're using your Time Machine drive for other things that may 
cause it to run out of space, you don't have to concern yourself with 
deleting old backups. Time Machine does that for you automatically  as 
the disk fills up, and tells you when it does so.

Hi Tim,
Many thanks for the tip on looking in the Windows list for time machine 
controls. When I do that I see a button labelled previous and if I pressed that 
several times I can see dates of Time Machine backups. If I then comeback to 
the windows list and move to the finder window to choose my hard disk and then 
go to the context menu I see options to delete backup and delete all backups. 
To free up space I want to safely delete all backups before my chosen backup 
date. So which option should I choose? I do not want to experiment as I do not 
want to risk the integrity of backups newer then the chosen backup date.
Many thanks.

Paul Hopewell

Re: Custom Ringtones

[Jonathan Cohn]

Just to verify you said the Video checkbox. Is that correct that the Video 
checkbox actually effects ringtones also?

Best,

Re: Resizing Partitions

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

I solved this problem for myself by using the diskutil tool available
from the Mac terminal, and also available from an ssh session into the
Mac.


The following web page was most helpful to me:

https://www.MacObserver.com/tips/deep-dive/resize-your-apfs-container/


I used commands provided by that page as templates to downsize my apfs
container, and to create an ExFAT volume that's now directly visible
whether I'm booted to my Bootcamp enabled Windows 10 or to High Sierra.

Asking for quick pointers to configuring VirtualBox

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

I'm looking to make the switch from VMware to VirtualBox. I have the
latest VB installed on my Airbook. However, I'm having some difficulty
finding documentation about how to configure it from the terminal.

My immediate goal is to get an Arch Linux guest vm functioning with
speech.

Any pointers would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Janina

VO friendly weay to delete old backups

[Paul Hopewell]

Hi Tim, 
Many thanks for the tip on looking in the Windows list for time machine 
controls. When I do that I see a button labelled previous and if I pressed that 
several times I can see dates of Time Machine backups. If I then comeback to 
the windows list and move to the finder window to choose my hard disk and then 
go to the context menu I see options to delete backup and delete all backups. 
To free up space I want to safely delete all backups before my chosen backup 
date. So which option should I choose? I do not want to experiment as I do not 
want to risk the integrity of backups newer then the chosen backup date. 
Many thanks.

Paul Hopewell

 A review of Aira. What it is, how it works, and the ways it has changed my
 life
 by Jonathan Mosen, Posted on 03/04/2018
 
 Introduction
 Recently, I was pleased to attend the CSUN assistive technology conference.
 I've had the privilege of going to 10 of these before, but it has been a
 few
 years since I was there last.
 When you're involved with an industry, you tend to watch developments so
 closely that changes usually seem incremental. But occasionally, something
 new comes along that is so game changing, it stops you in your tracks. For
 me, San Diego-based Aira is one such technology. I am late to this party.
 Aira has been rolling out for some time in the United States. And indeed,
 we
 covered Aira in an edition of The Blind Side Podcast last year. But since
 mentioning my Aira experience to people via outlet such as my Internet
 radio
 show, The Mosen Explosion, I've learned that not everyone yet fully
 understands what the service is or how it works. For those not familiar
 with
 Aira, or who would like to read someone else's impressions of it, read on.
 What is Aira
 According to the company's website,
 Aira is today's fastest growing assistive community. One tap of a button
 instantly connects you with a sighted professional agent who delivers
 visual
 assistance anytime and anywhere.
 Here's what that means in practice. At present, Aira is a smart phone app,
 available for iOS and Android. Since Aira is a service for blind people,
 it's no surprise that the app is exemplary in terms of its accessibility.
 And in iOS, it even sports Siri integration.
 Using the app, you can connect via video, much like a FaceTime call, with
 agents who can provide you with visual information. Audio quality is
 excellent, far clearer than a standard cell phone connection. Essentially,
 an Aira agent can tell you anything at all that a pair of functioning eyes
 can see, plus perform a range of tasks pertaining to that information.
 You can acquire the visual information using your smart phone's camera, or,
 when you become a subscriber to the Aira service (Aira calls its customers
 "explorers") you receive a pair of smart glasses. These are included as
 part
 of your subscription, so there's no hardware cost upfront.
 The service is available officially in the United States at present, where
 Aira has an arrangement with AT Aira explorers receive an AT MiFi
 device, allowing them to use the service on the go without the data
 consumed
 by the video connection eating up a customer's own cellular plan. If you
 have a cellular plan equipped with the personal hotspot feature, you are
 free to pair your Aira glasses with your phone using that method. For those
 with large data plans, this may be attractive because there is one less
 device to keep track of, carry, and charge. The downside, other than the
 data consumption, is that a video connection to Aira for a long time may
 cause significant battery drain on your smart phone.
 When you're at home, work, or anywhere that Wi-Fi is available that doesn't
 require web-based authentication, you can pair your Aira glasses to that
 network. As far as I have been able to ascertain, 5 GHZ Wi-Fi isn't
 supported at present.
 Because of the need for high quality video, the glasses pair via Wi-Fi, and
 not Bluetooth. The glasses are
