Problem with internet radio in iTunes
Hi all. I am using the latest version of iTunes on yosemite. All is well until I try to use Internet Radio. If I try to expand any category iTunes goes busy and I eventually have to force quit it. Is anybody else experiencing this behavior and/or does anybody have any idea of what is going on and any suggestions for stopping this, other than staying out of Internet Radio :-) Thanks. -- Cheryl Move forward by looking back!

Re: Infovox iVox Voices
Actually, I still like the Infovox voices; have been using them for quite a while. But occasionally Alex somehow takes over and I have to turn voiceover off and back on again to fix this. I don't at all think the Infovox voices now sound like carap but I realize that voices are a very individual matter. But just so you know whether my voice tastes would be the same as your or not, I don't really care for Alex on my Mac though somehow he seems okay on my iPhone.

Re: audio hijack pro help.
Actually, it's every bit worth it considering all you can do with Audio Hijack. Also, as far as I can see, there's nothing to stop you from continuing to use the latest version of audio hijack pro 2 unless and until it will no longer do what you want done but audio hijack 3 will. I'm still using audio hijack 2, the latest version of 2, and it is still working fine for me in what I am doing right now. So while I do plan to upgrade eventually, I see no need to frantically rush to do it. Also, if you didn't have a key for the earlier application, you were greatly handicapped because white noise overlays your recordings after a few minutes so if you used it before but didn't have a license you probably weren't doing much with it. -- Cheryl Move forward by looking back!

I must admit that I find myself using Terminal more and more for simply moving items from Downloads into the auto-add folder, though if I thought about it, there'd be a way--if tedious--to do it exclusively using the Finder. It is OK to tell iTunes, using the Add to Library option, to add your existing Music folder in your Home folder; sometimes when the library gets corrupted you can do that to simply restore access to all your media. This is also a great way to reveal duplicates. iTunes never adds to its catalog any media file that it already knows about, so this operation is completely safe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: iTunes folders
There wouldn't be any advantage that I can think of to drag and drop. You have a mechanism within iTunes for importing music that is in other places. Besides, you can physically move other folders into iTunes but iTunes won't necessarily incorporate those folders into its use just because you physically stick folders inside of Music/iTunes. You shouldn't really have a messy setup in iTunes unless some of your music or videos are being misidentified and you can fix that, as has been mentioned, with getinfo. If you actually open the Music/iTunes/iTunes Media in Finder you will see that you do have a separate folder, for instance, for home videos so they don't need to be mixed in with your music. I would think that straightening out any misidentified items would be preferable to starting all over again. Even if you start over again, iTunes is still going to reorganize according to how it identifies unless you have that unchecked in preferences so I don't think you are going to get different results by starting over. Just remember not to just physically move items into the folders and then expect them to be done correctly by that action. -- Cheryl Move forward by looking back!

I’v seen such feature but don’t know how it works. /A 27 jan 2015 kl. 00:13 skrev Tim Kilburn kilbu...@me.com: Hi, It is actually a very clean system if you let iTunes manage the organization of things like it’s meant to do. That is, • There are folders in your home directory like Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures, Movies etc. These are built-in folders meant for things like iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie etc. • within the Music folder, as mentioned by Sabahattin, there is the parent iTunes folder which is meant to contain all iTunes related media. So, within the iTunes parent directory are the sub-directories for iTunes Library database files, Album Artwork and the iTunes Media folder. This iTunes Media folder logically, contains all the iTunes related media files including your music, movies, TV Shows, Ring Tones, Audio Books etc. • If you allow iTunes to do its magic, it will place all media in the appropriate locations keeping everything neat and tidy. Anything that happens to be mis-labelled such as a ripped movie or TV Show can be fixed from within the Get Info dialog in iTunes itself and the app will clean up some more. • Third party apps that you use to rip media often place things in other locations, not necessarily logical to iTunes. For example, your movie ripping app places the ripped movies or TV shows all into the Movies folder in your home directory. This Movies folder is actually meant for iMovie or other media creation kinds of apps. • You can certainly import these ripped movies into iTunes and, as long as you let iTunes do its OCD organizational thing, it will make a copy in the appropriate location within the iTunes Media world, and life will be good. Once that import is done, you can delete the original copy from the Movies folder. • In the sighted world, one would have dragged the movie or TV Show into the “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder within the iTunes Media folder and no extra deleting would need to be performed. In the VO world, you could cmd-c to Copy the movie/TV Show, then cmd-option-v to Move it into the “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder and the same thing would happen without the need for the extra step of deleting the media file from the original location. Most problems occur when we try to out-think iTunes and do things in a different manner than iTunes is meant to. Not to say that this isn’t possible, it just means that you occasionally will have some issues when managing iTunes media in other ways. Hope this makes some sense. Later...

Alternative to numeric keypad
When a thread on numeric keypad was started, only numeric keypad information was wanted. But I thought I would mention another alternative which I am using now with my iMac a lot of the time. I admit I kind of collect keyboards :-) I have a full keyboard from Logitech: a k750 solar keyboard for Mac - you do want the one that is specifically for Mac. This is a solar keyboard but instead of running on bluetooth it has a usb receiver. This is the downside as it does require a usb port but only the receiver is inserted; there are no cords involved to get tangled up. This is not a very portable keyboard at all; it is about the same length as the Apple usb keyboard that has a numeric keypad and it is actually significantly larger measuring from back to front or maybe top edge to bottom edge because the keyboard does not end with the top row which I believe is because of the solar panel. It is sturdy but I wouldn't say it is terribly heavy. It has little pieces (not really what I'd quite call feet) that you can open out so your keyboard will have a slant and be slightly raised at the top. It has an on/off switch and another press button not raised up from the keyboard much for which I haven't figured out the purpose to the left of the on/off switch. It has a 18-key keypad, including a long enter key and an equals key. It also has a six-pack and cursor-cross between the numeric keypad and the main keyboard but there isn't a lot of space between all of these sections going from left to right; there is a well-defined area between the six-pack and the cursor-cross. I have lately kind of settled on this as my keyboard of choice for my iMac. Warnings: 1. I had a terrible time figuring out how to change the function keys. I finally had to download the Logitech control center from the logitech website: not the same as the preference manager. This isn't very vo-friendly but by tabbing I could find the checkbox and check or uncheck it. Once you do that I think by tabbing you can also find a configuration button; you have to tab to find this. I don't know whether this is vo-friendly or not; I understand you can further customize the keyboard from the control center. There is also an option for managing or adding unifying software which I haven't used at all; I've heard that there are some issues with this on Yosemite but don't know the present status. 2. I suspect that this keyboard won't work with file vault. I am thinking of going back to file vault so I will be able to confirm this eventually but you might want to have an Apple keyboard or corded usb keyboard available for use at startup if you are using file vault. Again, this keyboard won't please everybody that wants a numeric keypad. It could go in a fairly large backpack but most definitely not in a purse or pocket! It is large but I would call it sturdy rather than clunky; I like typing on it very much. If what you want is just a keypad this is not it; it's a complete keyboard. Granted these caveats, I really like typing on it and I do a lot of typing on my computer. If you don't care about the keypad but would like a logitech, I would go instead with the easi-switch k811 or the k760 solar keyboard for Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc., both of which are bluetooth, But I think the k750 solar keyboard for Mac is worth considering for anybody who wants numeric keypad access but doesn't need a separate little keypad or a very portable keyboard. -- Cheryl Move forward by looking back!

Re: Alternative to numeric keypad
Hi Chuck! If you get the lcc (logitech control center) app you can fix that. My function keys are working fine with voiceover. It wasn't that they didn't work; it was that there was no way to change them between being standard functional keys and not standard and the default didn't allow you to use voiceover with those keys without the fn key which was way far away from the main keyboard and so just about impossible to use with vo plus the function keys in question. -- Cheryl Move forward by looking back!

Re: Copying and printing a long list of filenames into a document
The only thing is that this method will not get you filenames in the subdirectories, or at least I don't think it will. It will give you the directory names of subdirectories but I think you would probably then have to repeat this process for each subdirectory. Still, it is a nice method.

Re: Copying and printing a long list of filenames into a document
Hmmm, I know how to do this using terminal but not in finder. I would be interested in knowing if there's a way to do this also. In case you end up doing it in terminal: Open terminal. cd to the directory whose files you want to copy. Otherwise the whole path to the files will be given instead of just the filenames. Type: ls -R | more list.txt Note the dash before the capital R, and note the greater-than sign. This format gives you an alphabetical list of the files in a file called list.txt; of course you can use whatever name you want. List.txt will be placed in the list unless you specify the file to be in a different directory than the one you are listing. There is a way to do this so you can add to a list if you are putting in the filenames from several directories, but I don't know how much you use terminal so I don't want to load you down with unnecessary info. If there aren't subdirectories from which you need filenames, you can leave out the -R. You can then open the file in Text Edit and copy the filenames and put them in another document if you wish. Again, there may be an easier way to do this in finder but I've never gotten around to researching it. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Any disadvantages with file volt?
I'm not using it at the moment but except for the keyboards issue I didn't find it problematic but each person's view on this will be different. We all should consider the possibility of theft or if other people are living with us or coming into our home regularly, the possibility that somebody will intentionally or unintentionally play around with our computer but the level of concern will be different for each person so you need to decide for yourself. Of course if you leave the computer on and logged in, you will need to have other protection systems in place as well. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Itunes match stalling checking songs
Actually, I solved it; thanks! I had googled it but the solutions looked awfully complicated me. So first I tried stopping the process, turning off iTunes match, and quitting iTunes, then re-opening iTunes and turning on iTunes match. This time it still stalled in step 2, about nine songs sooner. So I again stopped the process, turned off iTunes match, quit iTunes and shut down my computer. Then I started the computer again and opened iTunes and started match again. This time it finished step 2 and I think it is now in the process of uploading artwork and remaining songs if I understand what is happening. Apparently this can sometimes be a problem with Apple but also can be something that has to be solved with somehow backing up and removing certain songs and I wanted to avoid having to figure that out. So far it appears I have gotten it going again without having to do anything that drastic. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Response from Amazon regarding captchas
First of all, I have redeemed several gift cards from Amazon and there was no captcha. I thought maybe it had changed recently when I read this thread but I went to the website and I see no captcha. I approached this both from the main site and the access site even though I never actually use the access site. Both with Audible and Amazon, I much prefer to use the main site. So I'm a little puzzled as to how one person could see a captcha while another doesn't. You do have to sign in with your username and password and you do have to enter the claim code. You even can get around reading a claim code by having people email your gift cards instead of sending them by snail mail or giving them to you when the person involved uses email. It's not that i'm doubting your statement that there was a captcha; I personally simply don't see any request for one and never have in my own experience. Maybe they have started doing it for some accounts and others will follow though that doesn't totally make sense to me either. Secondly, some other form of security besides username and password in some instances is not, in my opinion, overkill. At least from what I know about passwords being stolen or hacked, i don't think it's overkill. We can argue about whether that other form should be captcha r not and we can argue about whether or not there should be an accessible alternative and what that alternative should be, but i don't really think we can argue that something in addition to username and password is overkill, at least in some situations. It is true that Amazon does require captchas in some instances; I rarely run into this on Amazon but I think when you set up an account and perhaps when you change your password you might have to enter a captcha, but I'm not going to change mine just to test this out. There may be some other instances. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

Re: coaching in terminal
The cmd-o may work. The cmd-down-arrow does not appear to work if the folder has subfolders and I believe this is why the Terminal is being used.

Re: Bluetooth Numeric Keypad
I went searching at one time and got a usb one with a kind of retractable cable that kind of worked with my Mac but wasn't really consistent. So I've been interested in this for a while and would also really like a bluetooth one. Because of this thread, I decided to do a little search on Amazon. Here is the link to the one I found that seemed to have the best overall rating and the most really positive reviews. I've also included one description from another review that I got by searching google. It does appear that there is not an equals key on this one but that equals is produced with enter and a backspace key in the top row so reprogramming of numpad kommander would be necessary for numpad commander. But none of the others I found had a rating anywhere near this one. But since I haven't bought it yet, I'm not able to say anything firsthand and you would do well to research it thoroughly before buying. http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Bluetooth-Wireless-Keypad-MacBook/dp/B00CJKW4WQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronicsie=UTF8qid=1420761164sr=1-1keywords=bluetooth+numeric+keypad The Satechi Wireless Smart Keypad has been imbued with the Apple design aesthetic. It’s the same color and shape as the Apple keyboard, but it's made from plastic instead of aluminum. It’s an inch deeper than the keyboard and 1.25 inches narrower than the trackpad. There’s a reason for the size mismatch: the Satechi Keypad also functions as a standalone calculator, so it has a 12-digit LCD screen across the top along with two rows of dedicated calculator keys. Setup and pairing is simple. After inserting the two provided AAA batteries into the battery compartment via the latch on the bottom, I turned it on, selected Mac from the “Mac/PC” toggle switch, pressed the “Comm” button on the underside, and it paired with my iMac in the same manner as any other keyboard. Once turned on, you can leave the power switch in the “on” position and the keypad will sleep when it's not needed; to wake it, simply press the “wake ce/ac” button. There’s a small “mode” button at the right of the top row of calculator buttons that will switch the device between calculator and keypad modes and it works well: my iMac invariably recognizes it as an input device within a split second of switching from calculator mode. As a basic calculator, it gets the job done. As a numeric keypad, it works extremely well. The layout is slightly different than the numeric keypad on the Apple Extended Keyboard, with the equals function performed by the enter key and a backspace key in the top row, but the tactile sensation and key return is similar to that of Apple’s keyboards. At $35.99, there are less-expensive alternatives than the Satechi Wireless Smart Keypad, but I find the built-in calculator function to be very useful and I like the fact that it matches the rest of the computer hardware on my desktop. If you find yourself longing for a numeric keypad that can act as a standalone calculator, you could do a lot worse than the Satechi.

A suggestion for anybody who is losing voiceover speech in Yosemite: switch to classic mail
Hi all. Ever since I started using Yosemite on my iMac, I have had intermittent issues with voiceover stopping. I don't think voiceover actually turns off but my arrow keys would do nothing, vo-arrows did nothing at least not with sound feedback, and command-tabbing gave me little clicking sounds sometimes. If I then got vo turned off and back on, I would have speech back until I got into mail again. Sometimes mail would also be okay, but often as soon as I got into my inbox messages table, the same thing would happen. At first I tended to blame it on some kind of bluetooth keyboard bug or on the fact that I switch between several bluetooth keyboards regularly. But at one point I plugged in my usb keyboard and the problem still occurred. Sometimes, with bluetooth or usb keyboard, I would think the problem was gone and then it would start up again with nor reason I could find Finally, I decided to switch to classic mail since mail almost always seemed to be where the problem would start and if I then quit mail and got voiceover running again the problem didn't seem to occur again until I opened mail. Since I have switched to classic mail I have had no further problem. It has only been a bout twenty-four hours but I switched at a time when the problem kept recurring. I know there are some disadvantages to changing to classic mail and perhaps I will eventually find something I can change in my mail settings that will solve this, or maybe an update will remedy it, but for now I am finding that changing to classic mail seems to have totally eliminated my problem. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Bluetooth Numeric Keypad
Yes, I actually have the usb keyboard. It is a nice keyboard but (1) it is usb not bluetooth) an (2) it is significantly longer than a regular Apple keyboard and of course much longer than a numeric keypad. Especially if you are using a computer that already has a built-in keyboard, you may want something with a much smaller footprint rather than the full usb one. But most definitely, if the usb Apple keyboard does meet your needs, there's no particular need to buy a separate numeric keypad. I think the issue is that a lot of people are using a bluetooth keyboard, not just with iMacs and minis, but also with macbooks, and often don't want to carry around the longer usb keyboard and have to plug it into the computer on top of that. Apple used to put out a bluetooth keyboard that was full, including numeric keypad; one of mine died and the other was given to a friend but they never worked with iOS devices and I don't know for sure if they still work with newer Macs though they might. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Deactivating my MBP's Track Pad
I don't think you can turn it off completely. It does help if you make sure you have trackpad commander turned off in voiceover utility. Also, if I recall correctly, if you connect a bluetooth trackpad, the built-in one then will not be active as long as the bluetooth one is. But I'm not absolutely sure about that so get somebody else to confirm it before you go out and buy a bluetooth trackpad. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

How do i get my contacts from my computer to icloud
I hope somebody can help me figure out what it is I've neglected to do. I turned off contacts services for icloud in all my devices and computer and deleted all contacts. Then I totally redid my contacts on my computer which is a Mac running Yosemite. But when I turned on contact services again, it looked like the old contactws were loading on my iPhone so I turned contact services off. Then I actually went to iCloud on the web and deleted all contacts. Then I turned contacts services back on on my computer and one device but no contacts are going to the cloud so of course they aren't going to the device either. I see the instructions on icloud that say to add contacts by dragging a card but if I have to drag one card at a time from the contacts application that could be not much fun at all even if it works. Where did I goof up here and what do I need to do. I'm not really panicking because the contacts are still safe and sound on my computer and contacts; it's just that I can't get them anywhere else. I could sync them by iTunes but I imagine I'll have to change settings on my devices to do this. If I did sync with iTunes, would they eventually be put back in the cloud too? -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

Solved!: How do i get my contacts from my computer to icloud
I did go ahead and sync one of my devices with iTunes and I had it just replace the contacts on the iPhone with those on the computer since there weren't any on the iPhone anyway. After I did that, things began working fine. I even added another contact from my computer and it showed up on my iPhone so iCloud is syncing. I went to the website and my newly-done contacts are now there. So hopefully this has been a success and I can keep duplicates and other problems from cropping up again by a little vigilance. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Putting email lists in contacts
I finally got fed up with all the chaos with contacts on phone, iPad and computer, with lots of duplicates and outdated information still being mixed with the new. I felt this was way beyond the help of just merging contacts or deleting and adding indivicual ones as I've been trying to ignore this problem for quite a while. After careful backing up of all my contact information, I deleted contacts for all accounts on all devices and deleted all contacts in the application on my computer. So now I'm choosing the contacts I really want to keep and am adding all the information back on my computer first. Then I'll turn contacts back on in all accounts on devices. The one thing I am not sure of is what to do about email lists when putting the information in Contacts on my computer. There are fields for first and last name and company and a checkbox for company but an email list doesn't quite fit either of these choices. I hesitate to put macvisionaries, for example, in as a first or last name or a company but don't know if I should just put the email address in without a name iname; I'm pretty sure this will disorganize things. Is there an accepted protocol I should follow for this? Thanks for any help with this. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

You can go to the file in finder, press return on it and change the .xml to .html and then it will read in safari. Use control to pause and restart speech.

Re: shutting down a Mac Mini
Like Sean, I rarely shut down anything. If I have to restart during an update or if I notice something not running right or for a few other reasons, I shut down or restart. I've been doing this for years on various computers with no consequences that I notice except, as I mentioned, that if anything does seem slow I then shut down or restart. This isn't at all to contradict the advice given in the sense of belittling it or anything; this is just the experience I have. If I found I was having problems, I would of course change my habits and shut down more frequently. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Putting email lists in contacts
I find groups to be rather confusing - not the concept but the practical setup - but I admit I haven't yet concentrated on this a lot. As for duplications, I've had this problem almost from the beginning of having an iOS device along with my Mac. At one point I was able to straighten it out but I have more than one device now and the problem came back. So I finally decided just to make sure I had a backup of all contacts that I could access without the contacts app and then I just plain deleted all my contacts from all devices and computers and stopped that service with iCloud. Now I'm re-entering everything on my computer and it's a pain but it's going to be worth it because of all the duplicates and old info and partial info I'm getting rid of. When this is done i will need to learn to monitor what is happening and catch it before it gets to this point again. What I decided to do with email lists that I am subscribed to is put a name for the list as the first name and email list without the quotes as the last name. Then all my email lists should end up together under e. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

Re: playing a folder of music
Ifchange all was dimmed, then you couldn't have finished the process. If you don't change all, then only the file you specifically told it to change will be changed. But apparently you are working in a folder that is for some reason is locked for you to do this. You need to go back and change files of the different filetypes again; of course choose different ones than you already changed. When you do cmd-i for info on a file this time, go past the open with place and go on to sharing and permissions. Find the lock checkbox and do vo-space; if it was locked this will unlock it and the checkbox will now be unchecked. You will be asked to enter your password to make the change to that lock checkbox. I think you may only have to do it for the first type but not sure. The only other reason I can think of why change all would be dimmed out is if you don't have permissions in the folder you are trying to change but hopefully this isn't the problem. Once that lock is unchecked, you should find that change all will not be dimmed. If it is still dimmed, don't assume things are okay because you must be able to change all before this will be completed. So if you have further problems post again and explain. See if you can solve this first. I think since you aren't at all familiar with these tasks throwing terminal instructions in at the same time is confusing you. We can go over that again once you have been able to change all for your types. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

It's important to notice what is said along with open with. I suspect it said: open with: collapsed disclosure triangle and then to the right of that it had the preview you saw. Now this can be a little confusing because it's possible to also just be at a place where it only says open with; that's just to the right of the open with that has the collapsed disclosure triangle. What you need to do is expand this disclosure triangle. Doing vo-space on it should do this. Once you do this, go to the right and you will see a pop-up with your choices. Choose the one you want from the pop-up. Then close your pop-up and to the right there's a phrase use this application to open all documents like this one, and to the right of that there's a change all button.

Re: Setting default apps (was: playing a folder of music)
Which basically I think means, yes. You do have to do this procedure for each file type. I also have always hoped there was a way to just change the default player, period, but I don't think there is or at least I haven't found it yet. Changing the player for one file type only does it for that particular file type and the process has to be repeated for each file type that you want to play in vlc.. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: playing a folder of music
Does this automatically play the whole folder? What I suspect is that if you have subfolders all of these will just try to open in finder and either nothing will open in vlc or only files contained in the top level of the folder system will be included. But for a simple folder the cmd-a to select everything in folder and then cmd-down-arrow works great as I just tried it. It starts to play automatically and you can use regular vlc navigation to move through tracks or find the one you want to play. You can also go ahead and do cmd-s to permanently save the playlist though again I believe you would have to then update your playlist if music was added to the folder, which would be just by doing cmd-s again when running the folder and re-saving it. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: having 2 windows open when moving files
Yes, indeed. Command-accent is quite different from command-tab. On most keyboards the accent is right above the tab that is, the row right above but use ctrl-option-k to go into keyboard help and find out where it is. A tab just tabs; an accent is an actual keyboard character but when used with command it moves between windows in an application. Command-tab takes yu between applications while command-accent takes you between windows. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

Re: using it without a printer
No. If you are talking about the Index print application, that has nothing to do with creating braille files; it just sends your file to the embosser for printing. If you want to turn files to braille, you either have to have another program to do that, such as louis or Duxbury (though I think the latter is still in Beta on the Mac) or you have to have a file that is already in braille, or you have to use the latest firmware on an Index braille embosser which provides louis as an option. In fact, even if you are using the latest firmware and Louis, when you want to do a braille file you go back to using the Index print application because that prints directly without changing the format while Louis with the new firmware update assumes the file being presented is for changing to whatever language and type you have chosen. Well, assume would seem to denote intelligent choice - lol!

Okay, I see you are talking about Index Direct rather than Index print. But I don't think Index Direct actually installs Louis on your computer or anything. You install the driver upgrade on your Mac and then use your embosser with the upgraded firmware. I think if you want to use Louis independently you will have to install it yourself on our Mac. You can either install the components in terminal or there is a Mac app done by Greg Kearney for which I don't have the link right at hand. I did an install of all the Louis components I needed in terminal because I had trouble with the Mac app doing Spanish but Greg has put out a new version since then which I haven't gotten around to testing. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere
Okay, here's something else to try. Select the itunes store radio button and type the name of what you purchased in the search field and press enter. For me, this came up and showed it as in my library. But I still couldn't actually find it until I then chose the right radio button for it, in this case, tv shows. I would be sure to look at the options including the pop-up that shows more. It is always possible that you are looking for it under audiobooks but it is acgtually classified as something else that is showing up in the more pop-up. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

Re: mail problem
Actually there are two issues here. In most cases it isn't actually necessary to delete one account before adding another though not doing so could cause you some confusion. I know when I was first testing out gmail with imap, I created a separate account on the Mac with the same email address set up as imap. Then I got rid of the pop account after I was sure things were working. Also it's possible to have your email as a pop account on one device or computer and imap on another but again, there are some consequences of doing that. Btw I don't remember at the moment how to do it but on your Mac if you are trying to get pop and it doesn't come up as a choice there's a way to force it to come up; I've done it but don't remember how right this minute. However, since Comcast makes you specifically request the switch instead of you just changing your settings in your email programs, I don't know if you can then use one or the other at will. I don't have Comcast but I help a friend who does and I haven't had her change to imap partly because she isn't tech capable at all and I'm afraid it may cause her confusion and I don't like recommending that she try a switch when I don't know if she can switch back or have it one way in one situation and the other way elsewhere. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

You are given the choice only upon setting up the new account. For example, say you want to switch from pop to imap, as I did. First, turn off the pop account. Next, completely delete it from your Mac. Now, set up a brand new account and set it for imap. it is not possible to switch an account from one account type to another.

Audio Switcher confusion unraveled: was Re: How in the world do you get to a program that is open yet does not appear anywhere
No wonder this is so confusing. Now I really do wonder if people knew which app they were reviewing! If you buy both apps, when they download, they both show up as AudioSwitcher on your computer: one word with a capital A and a capital S but both one word. The distinction in the app store names is gone. I purchased both at the same time basically and one of them downloaded as an app while the other downloaded with a folder containing the app and only the app. I don't know if they were designed that way or if they were downloaded with one in a folder because they both had the same name and one would have overwritten the other. But they definitely are two different apps and if you want the right one you really have to pay attention. The one that works for me is the one that downloaded as a folder, though this may be only because I downloaded it after downloading the other one by the same name. It is the more expensive one. It is also the one that has only one review: a bad review that says it could be killed only in Activity Monitor. I am suspecting that this person actually had the other app and put a review in the wrong place but I can't be sure of this. If you look carefully at the information in the app store, you will know that you want the one that shows 2.0.4 as the version and in addition to a link for support shows a link to a website for Lorenzo Thurman. It is the one that shows up in the app store with the space so that audio Switcher is two words. It does not open as an actual app with its own window as far as I can tell. But it creates an extras menu which opens with vo-m once you locate it in the extras menu and has options in it, including a quit option that does work. I haven't explored this yet but it's possible that there's also an option to show the app in a window as I know some apps have that as an option. The other app, the one that does not work for me, will be listed as version 2.24.7. It is the one that costs just $0.99 and shows the developer as Paul ONeil. Ironically, it is the one that has almost all the reviews, a lot of them good, so either this really works for some people or people chose the first app by this name in the app store and assumed it was the one they had and did their reviews there.

Re: How in the world do you get to a program that is open yet does not appear anywhere
Okay, there is just one review for this app in the app store (the one where this is two words) though admittedly it is not for the current version. The reviewer cites only being able to kill it with activity monitor and though he found the icon in the menu bar he says it was stuck; said developer did not respond to complaints. There is another app: AudioSwitcher, which is $0.99 and appears to have a different developer; this is all one word by the way. Again, I don't know if there are reviews for the current version but there are definitely a lot more reviews for this one. I have not read them but it looks like they were more positive though it wouldn't be fair to compare that with the one interview for the other one. I don't know whether this other one will meet your needs but you might want to check it out. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

Re: I'm stuck.
If it says login screen and has sleep, etc. that isn't torrent. That at least appears to be your login screen. As for no windows, it depends on the program. When mail says it has no windows, you can do cmd-option-n to open a new view window. With many programs, you can't start a new window. Sometimes you can do cmd-q to quit or use your window chooser or application chooser to get into a window or see if there are dialogs you can't otherwise see. Sometimes you just have to command-tab away from it and it disappears. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

Re: Which version of ABBYY to purchase?
I don't know for sure about this. I do know that even though I bought the full abby finereader I don't really like it, admittedly because I haven't yet taken time to learn all its ins and outs and so I am actually still using vuescan and abbyy finereader express most of the time. I'm not recommending that others do this and I'm sure the full-fledged version is beter and allows you to scan even with my scanner within the application but I just haven't found the time and patience to work with the full version yet; to me it is far from intuitive.

Re: Problem with paying paypal credit
Your advice is appreciated but if i did that (1) a sighted person would know business I don't need him/her to know and I might as well just go back to having a reader go through my mail and do my checks; and (2) I would never get things done because I usually don't have a sighted person around. I have been doing my own transactions online without the confirmation of a sighted person for over ten years - in fact, I do almost all my financial transactions that way - and have never made a mistake doing it. In fact, my screen reader has indeed been up to the task as long as I checked everything carefully, be it a Windows, linux or Mac screenreader. However, I do understand that mistakes can be made and information may not show up correctly in some instances and I don't blame or belittle people who wish to use such precautions. However, for me, to do transactions online would be totally pointless if I had to have a sighted person okay my decisions for me. Sorry, I know this does sound impatient with your view; it's not that I don't respect it; I just know that for me it would put an end to my use of online systems if I followed this advice. But I commend those who can do this and feel they need to do so for their caution and wisdom and patience in waiting for sighted help to do these things; if you have doubts as to your ability or feel you need more practice first or for some reason don't trust your screenreader or a particular sight, this is indeed a good idea. But I will have to say that I do not think this is a risky thing for a blind person with experience to do in most cases. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

Problem with paying paypal credit
Some of you may know that Bill Me later is now Paypal Credit. The Bill Me Later site worked fine but shortly after the switch of course that site was closed. Last month I did manage to pay my bill but this month I can't click my payment method no matter what I do on the Mac. I very definitely clicked the feedback button and told them to put back the radio buttons as standard instead of these clickable things - at least that's how they look for voiceover. They still have radio buttons for other choices but not for the payment method. I have changed my mouse pointer settings, tried different voiceover options from vo utility for the web; this is driving me nuts! Any suggestions? I can't get the mouse to line up with it; I can't get keyboard focus on it; I can get vo focus and I can flick to it on the trackpad but nothing with mouse either via cmd-vo-f5 and vo-f5 or by the actual Apple mouse which admittedly I'm not very good with. Tabbing passes it up. Absolutely nothing allows me to click my payment option. When I click continue I am told that I don't have enough balance in my paypal account (which of course I don't!) and am asked to choose a payment option - as if that isn't what I've been trying to do!

Re: Saga trying to reinstall Yosemtie
I am not sure how old your iMac is or whether or not this would be a factor, but if I use cmd-r at restart and take the steps to reinstall, it is Yosemite that is indeed shown as the install that will be done, not Mavericks. So I don't think the problem is that Apple has failed to allow a Yosemite install but unfortunately I don't know what the problem may have been when you attempted this. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

It is the second time this has happened and only a re-install resolves the issue. If you go into system preferences and consult the output tab the device has completely disappeared with only internal speaker showing as a device. It is almost as if the Mac has forgotten that it has the audio outputs. I have no special drivers to redirect output like sound Flower so I do not think there is anything my apps have done to settings which would cause this. Anyway it is not as if an output device has been disabled, it has actually completely disappeared with the Mac not being aware of it for some reason. If anybody knows of a way to force the Mac to look for Hardware again and re- recognise its own hardware I would be glad to hear. As soon as I am in Recovery Console sound returns to the audio ports so it is clearly something being screwed up by the OS. The last time this happened was when I was running Lion so this is not, hopefully, going to be a frequent issue. The other weirdness in Yosemite sound is that occasionally for no apparent reason the balance gets shifted away from 50% to something like 77%. I have seen others report this as well. This can be easily rectified in system preferences but why it should happen in the first place is a bit of a mystery also. David Griffith On 14/12/2014 09:03, M.

Second, I am wondering why you lost sound in your 3.5 earphone/microphone jack. If you don't track down the cause, or at least an easier solution, you may have to deal with such an issue in the future. I'm curious: did you check your audio output settings in system preferences or in the application-specific preferences before resorting to reinstalling the OS? I'm almost certain you did but just wanted to ask. A month or so ago, I removed and reinstalled several versions of Audio Highjack Pro. A couple of days ago, I was helping a friend test Skype and discovered that, while the built-in microphone worked, when I plugged in my Apple wired headset, she could not hear my voice. As it turned out, I discovered in Skype Preferences that one of my audio settings had been switched to Sound Flower. Thinking back, I do remember experimenting with Sound Flower back when I was working with Audio Hijack Pro. I was so glad I first checked the audio settings in Skype before uninstalling the application. As for the recovery partition: A couple of months ago, I purchased a 13 inch, mid-2014, MacBook Pro with Retina display. The machine came with Maverick. I subsequently updated it to Yosemite. Before making a Yosemite install USB Drive, I had need to re-install Yosemite using the Recovery partition. Upon using the startup key combo of Command+R, and of course starting VoiceOver after system Startup, I was given the option of re-installing Yosemite and only Yosemite. Now that
Re: Saga trying to reinstall Yosemtie
My iMac shows as a late 2012. I also may have a theory/solution re: the headphone jack. The other day I couldn't get bluetooth sound with my jam xt bluetooth speaker though it would control iTunes so I knew it was paired. I thought nothing of it since I saw other posts of people saying they couldn't get sound on the Mac with this speaker but it had worked for me before. Yesterday evening I discovered that no headphones I had would work either though when I took the headphones out sound was fine through my iMac's internal speakers. I do have soundflower so I was showing a couple of items in output besides internal speakers but I wouldn't have seen anything but internal speakers if I hadn't had soundflower. So since I have braille I was able to experiment. I put the headphones in and interacted with the output table and at first I saw no earphone choice. After moving around for a few seconds the headphone choice finally appeared but there was also a dialog to confirm the new setting; had I not done this it would have reverted to internal speakers. I did so and my headphones worked with no problem but at that point there was no choice for internal speakers. The next time I inserted the headphones I didn't have this problem; the switch was automatic. This morning I went in again with headphones on; they worked but when I pulled them out I again had to go through the confirm dialog to change settings back. So while I don't know exactly why sometimes the transition is automatic and sometimes not, headphones and internal speakers will I blieve never both be seen in your output table at the same time; the switch completely replaces one designation with another. I actually think that may have been the case before too but if the switch happened without a problem, one didn't have to go looking in the output table. At any rate, I don't think this is a case of the iMac forgetting its own hardware; it has something to do with the switch not occurring automatically the the new choice not showing up immediately and replacing internal speakers. You also have to watch out for that confirmation dialog which could indeed cause you to reinstall if you end up with no sound and don't have braille. In that case, I would look for some way to reset the sound settings rather than reinstalling and I believe at one time I saw some tips for doing that but I am not sure if that was on this list or not. I do know that sound not switching is not a totally new phenomenon to Yosemite because I remember doing a reverse backup of superduper - backing up from my backup to my hard drive - to restore my settings for sound when I used a usb speaker, unplugged it and found myself without sound and unable to get it back. This does seem to be slightly different from that and my problem and yours may not be identical but I think it is something with the management of the switch back and forth from internal speakers. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

If the installer finds any problems like Safari being open and needing to close this will be flagged up in the monitoring window where there will be buttons like retry. In order to access this second window you need to use window chooser with VO F2 twice.

Re: Should I upgrad? Cannot restore my iPhone 5c: was My day with Yosemite
The fact that you tried to change to the computer in the middle of the attempted download and update might possibly have confused things in some way though I think people have done that successfully. Progress bars have been known to stay at a certain point for quite a while without it meaning something is wrong but I think people have also switched to the computer in the middle and been okay. Yes, Apple does require appointments unless you can get a walk-in, which I guess you now know. What happens often, though not always, is that the person calls Apple for over-the-phone help and when they are unable to solve the problem they advise you to make an appointment with the Apple store. I think that's the way I knew an appointment was needed when I had to go in for some reason. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

So tried taking it to an Apple store and had no idea you had to go on an appointment basis, and it was so late by the time we got there that the only walk in they had available was about 10-20 minuttes later, and at that point it was close to 6:00 at night, so nobody felt like waiting that long, so will just call Sprint and have them send me a new one. I just don't get what would cause my phone to go bonkers like that just over an update. It was doing this crazy thing where it just was showing me the progress bar, which wasn't going anywhere, so I plugged it into the computer, and it started to download from there, but the progress bar on the phone was still sitting, then it all went to Hell in a handbasket from there.

You aren't independently making calls from your Mac if I understand correctly. So I don't think it will help you to make calls if you upgrade to Yosemite but your phone is broken. And I could be wrong but if the phone is giving you an error message and a connect to iTunes message, whatever is wrong, it is not truly bricked though I know that's small comfort since you can't use it. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

I know you can make calls using the mac once you upgrade, which I need to do sense I don't have a backup phone, but obviously have to have my phone when I'm out and about, and it won't restore even in recovery mode, just gives me an error1 message, and in the meantime I'm having to use Mom's phone, which I can't continuously rely on sense she's not always going to be here.

You posted this to a Yosemite thread where people were talking about their experiences with the upgrade and you are talking about your 5C. So are you talking about upgrading to Yosemite? If your phone really is bricked, I don't see that upgradeing to Yosemite is going to help you any; iTunes gets updates still in Mavericks as far as I know or at least it did get updates. What hapens when you try to enter recovery mode? Are you absolutely sure your phone is bricked and it isn't just that voiceover isn't talking or the volume is down? I know these may sound like insulting questions but your post contains very little information and I'm just covering the bases. Maybe there was a previous post about this that i missed.

Re: Physical layout of ports on macbook pro retina
Hmmm, do you have to buy the dongle? With the Macbook Air I had and one I bought for a friend, a dongle was included and did not have to be purchased in addition to the computer. But I do agree that I would rather have the ethernet port than the dongle if that is what you mean. If you do have to specifically purchase the dongle, I hope that is made clear when one goes to buy. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

On the other side, starting at the hinge is another USB3 connector, and HDMI video out and an SDXC card slot. While I realize that lots of folks do stuff over wifi, I find the lack of an Ethernet port (or the requirement to also buy a Thunderbolt to Ethernet dongle) disappointing.

Could someone describe where the various ports are on both sides of the macbook pro as you are sitting facing it with the lid open? I'm not quite sure I know which port is which.
