Re: Few questions regarding my Mac laptop

[Ben Constantini]

Hi Terri,  I used to use Zoomtext on my old PC , but I found that the Zoom on 
the mac works much better . It has been awhile since I set it up but once you 
turn Zoom on in the settings ,you can go into the Trackpad preferences and turn 
on the trackpad gestures setting . Once you do this all you need to to do is 
press control and flick up with two fingers to increase magnification and flick 
down with two fingers to decrease magnification .If you have any problems email 
me and I will look up the exact settings .

Re: Sirius xm app

[Ben Constantini]

Matthew , I can also connect my Sirius receiver to my stereo by running a cable 
from the antenna jack on the front of the radio to the input jack on the stereo 
.  You can also buy a docking unit  from Sirius  and hook it  up that way .

Re: Sirius xm app

[Ben Constantini]

Stacy,  I believe when you download the app , they will offer you the free 
trial before you sign in  I have been using  Sirius since 2005 . I originally  
just had the radio and was paying $13 per month . Last November I upgraded to 
ALL  ACCESS and I think I am paying about $229 per year . With ALL ACCESS I can 
listen to Sirius on my stereo , mac , iPhone  and iPad . . 
Hope this helps .

Re: Sirius XM app

[Ben Constantini]

Hi Stacy , my wife and I have been using the Sirius app for quite a while now 
on our mac , iPhone and iPads . It is very blind friendly . You can probably 
get a 30 day free trial to check it out .

Re: Anyone Use Magnification and Zoom

[Ben Constantini]

Hi Brian , I have been using zoom for about 5 years and here is what I do. I 
have my mac set up so when I hold down the control key and swipe up with 2 
fingers on the track pad it will  zoom in . And when I am done logging in I 
hold down the control key and swipe down with 2 fingers it zooms out again . 
This works well for me . Just a thought .

Thanks Phil ,Jeff and Ray for the suggestions . I withheld the name of the 
company because  I do not want to trash them . It may only be a conflict that I 
am having . Like I said I had no problem with them until the upgrade .. The 
program  that I was using was Kaspersky , I am sure others are using them with

 Hi guys,  I hope this is a simple question with a simple answer . I 
 haven't used iTunes in a while and when I tried to use it today , the 
 left and right arrows do not  go to the next track . Also , when playing 
 an album it will play a song and than stop without proceeding to the next 
 track .  I hope it is something stupid that I am doing or not doing .  I 
 am having this problem on my mac . My iPhone is working fine.

Re: updating adobe flash player on the Mac

[Ben Constantini]

Just another note. I had a problem yesterday updating Adobe Flash Player .  No 
matter what I did the download kept freezing at 25 per cent .  After beating my 
head against the wall for a couple of days , I  tried temporarily disabling my 
anti -virus program and it finally worked . I noticed you also have to close 
your Safari browser also.
Just wanted to add my two cents in.

 Hello,
 I am stumped on this one. Can anybody tell me what is the best way to update 
 flash player for the Mac using VoiceOver? Every time I try to run the 
 installer, it just keeps focusing on the installer helper. If I click on 
 this, it says this item was removed. Does this mean the installation is 
 completed without VoiceOver giving me this message? I don’t think it is, 
 because when I try to play content, nothing happens. If I press command q to 
 quit, it says quit host, and brings up Safari with the message that Adobe 
 Flash player can not be installed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Re: VoiceOver stopped working on Facebook

[Ben Constantini]

Micheal, thanks for the reply.  What I normally do on Facebook is , I go to
the  web rotor  , go to headings  and than use the up and down keys to
scroll through the posts.  For some strange reason  this ceased working
 yesterday. All other programs seem to be working fine.
Maybe you can enlighten me of a better way to navigate through Facebook.

Thanks once again.   Ben

 This is strange, what issues are you having? The reason that I post this,
 is honestly, over the past two weeks I have found voice over and Safari to
 be remarkably more accessible with Facebook then what i have in the past.
 Are you using the main site, or the mobile site? I am currently using the
 main www.facebook.com site, and I have noticed that there are a couple
 more sections that you can interact with called Scrollable region group 
 and this appears, if you click on the notifications button for example. If
 you interact with a scrollable region, you're presented with your
 notifications. Clicking on the notification that you were looking for with
 control option space Will activate that notification. In addition, I'm
 seeing these Scrollable region groups pop up periodically throughout
 Facebook, especially on the page administration side as well.
 In addition, when I was posting a status update the other day, and tagging
 a friend in the status update, voiceover used to not announce the names
 without interacting with that combo box. Automatically, voiceover begin
 announcing the name of my friend as I was typing her name, then, when I
 pressed just the down arrow key, I was able to successfully go through all
 of my friends whose names begin with the letter M. In addition, this
 functionality was also expanded to the check in dialog box, I was able to
 type in the letters empow, and successfully press down arrow wants to
 hear voiceover announce empowering the blind, 3 miles, and then press tab
 to be able to select this option. I selected post, and posted my status.
 add me to fb:
 http://facebook.com/michael.babcock2

 So, let me know what you're having some difficulties with, as I said a
 couple of things have in my opinion become more accessible on Facebook.

 I understand what you're doing, and, what your concern maybe. I did not
 utilize Facebook in this means, however when I attempt to utilize it the
 way that you described I understand the problem now. How I use  Facebook is
 the following:
 I use control option command H to skip threw the headings…
 Apparently something to do with the code that Facebook uses prevents the
 headings from showing up and the headings rotor dialogbox. Try utilizing
 the control, option, command, H keystroke to navigate through headings and
 see if this makes Facebook more user-friendly for you?

 Micheal, thanks for the reply.  What I normally do on Facebook is , I go
 to the  web rotor  , go to headings  and than use the up and down keys to
 scroll through the posts.  For some strange reason  this ceased working
  yesterday. All other programs seem to be working fine.
 Maybe you can enlighten me of a better way to navigate through Facebook.

 Thanks once again.   Ben

 This is strange, what issues are you having? The reason that I post this,
 is honestly, over the past two weeks I have found voice over and Safari to
 be remarkably more accessible with Facebook then what i have in the past.
 Are you using the main site, or the mobile site? I am currently using the
 main www.facebook.com site, and I have noticed that there are a couple
 more sections that you can interact with called Scrollable region group 
 and this appears, if you click on the notifications button for example. If
 you interact with a scrollable region, you're presented with your
 notifications. Clicking on the notification that you were looking for with
 control option space Will activate that notification. In addition, I'm
 seeing these Scrollable region groups pop up periodically throughout
 Facebook, especially on the page administration side as well.
 In addition, when I was posting a status update the other day, and
 tagging a friend in the status update, voiceover used to not announce the
 names without interacting with that combo box. Automatically, voiceover
 begin announcing the name of my friend as I was typing her name, then, when
 I pressed just the down arrow key, I was able to successfully go through
 all of my friends whose names begin with the letter M. In addition, this
 functionality was also expanded to the check in dialog box, I was able to
 type in the letters empow, and successfully press down arrow wants to
 hear voiceover announce empowering the blind, 3 miles, and then press tab
 to be able to select this option. I selected post, and posted my status.
 add me to fb:
 http://facebook.com/michael.babcock2

 So, let me know what you're having some difficulties with, as I said a
 couple of things have in my opinion become more accessible on Facebook.

Re: Flash Player

Hi, I am kind of new to the mac , but I had to download  FlashPlayer to my mac

Re: best antivirus for mac?

[Ben Constantini]

I use Kaspersky anti virus.The basic  commands are easy  for me to access   
using the voice over keys  . At least for me they are.  I am sure that others 
on the list  have other suggestions.

 I want to put some antivirus software on my mac. Some would say that viruses

 something that's awesome at doing its job and is accessible with VO. 100

 Thoughts?

Re: Downloading from Bard site

 Hi there
 No, and I've downloaded  many books from Bard. It sounds like you might want 
 to change thumb  drives and see if that makes a difference. Alternatively you 
 might want to get one of those cartridge things from APH. That way it will go 
 inside the player.

 I do notice that it ws much easier  to download  to the mac ,than it was

 Does anyone else  expirience this problem ?  Is there  a setting  that can

 Hello Ben. If your wife doesn’t do anything that requires the use of 
 Microsoft Office she will do well with the Mac. If, however, she needs to use 
 Microsoft Office then her best bet would be to use Microsoft Windows for 
 Microsoft Office related tasks. There is IWork on the Mac but the 
 accessibility of these products has not reached the level of maturity I 
 require as they relate to accessibility. If she wants to use Windows on her 
 Mac, she has two viable options, VMware Fusion or Bootcamp. If she uses 
 VMWare Fusion, then she will be able to install Windows without sighted 
 assistance. Windows and the MAC Operating systems run at the same time. JAWS 
 works in this environment with Windows and so does Office. There are 
 tradeoffs however. First, since the Operating systems share resources there 
 can be performance issues particularly with applicatios like Kurzweil 1000 
 and Open Book. On the other hand, if she decides tu use Bootcamp then she 
 will have a dual boot system. She will need sighted assistance to install 
 Windows. However, the OS that is running has all of the machine’s resources. 
 Finally, whenever she makes changes to VMWare Fusion, she loses a JAWS 
 activation. Freedom Scientific will give her grief if she needs to request 
 too many key resets.

 Hello to All,
   I have only been in this group for a few days and I have already learned 
 alot from you guys.  I purchased my mac about 11 months ago and was a windows 
 xp user before that. I am visually impaired  and used ZooomText  on my  xp.  
 On my mac laptop I use a combination of voiceover and zoom to navigate around.
  
 My wife is totally blind and uses Jaws with Vista.  She is thinking of taking 
 the plunge and  getting a mac laptop or  iPad.  I am wondering  if there are 
 any totally blind users  in this group  and how  accessible it will be  for 
 her. She already has an iPhone and does with it. 
 Any  suggestions  would be greatly appreciated.
  
 Thanks, Ben
