On my laptop the ctrl-e to lower the volume and ctrlI to increase the volume 
has no effect.
 I thought that this program only plays different kinds of media.

 Adding RAM and a new SSD is not as easy as the article makes it sound,

 Adding more RAM will not affect your Mac’s ability to upgrade its version 
 of macOS beyond a certain version.  This is dependent on other hardware 
 considerations.

Can you please give me some instructions as to how this works? I tried it prior

thought that it was because the ZSH shell so I reinstalled bash. Nothing is

A VoiceOver friendly SFTP program

I am looking for a very friendly SFTP program for the Mac. I used to be able to 
use terminal but now with the ZSH shell the SSH and SFTP does not seem to be 
working. If there is a program that works well just using VoiceOver I would 
appreciate any suggestions.

Layout issues using VoiceOver

2020-02-10 Thread Donald Goosens 
I am totally blind and am trying to build a web page. I need instructions on 
how I can find out what elements or text is placed on the screen. It is 
important to know things like if a banner is too large and drops down to a 
second line. I also need to know if boxes are placed where I think they are! 
Does VoiceOver have the capability to help with this or do I need to buy a 
cheap windows based laptop just to be able to see my layout?

Thanks,

vo+t and other issues

2019-03-23 Thread Donald Goosens 
Vo+t is supposed to give you information such as color and background color, 
font style and type and maybe what point size such as 12pt. When I press  vo+t 
VoiceOver only reads 16pt Black no matter what the actual color is. 

Also what are the commands to see where I am at on the screen or in a window?  
It appears that on a pc I can get more precise information using JAWS.  I am 
looking for a solution so I can check page layout.  I am hoping that I do not 
have to install boot camp and use JAWS to solve this problem on my iMac. Any 
help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Donald

Music Collector for the Mac

2016-05-22 Thread Donald Goosens 
I am trying out Music Collector for the Mac and I am finding some problems with 
what folders the titles are being placed in. I don’t know how to fix them.  
Sometimes the CD’s go in the folder that has the letter of the first name and 
then sometimes they land in the letter of the last name. Once in a while they 
land in the first letter of the title instead of the group name or author.  I 
don’t know what keystrokes to use to fix this. If this is not an appropriate 
question could somebody write me off list?

Thanks,

Donald

looking for a check register program

2015-10-18 Thread Donald Goosens 
I am looking for a check registry program like the American Printing House 
MoneyTalks that works on windows. I am pretty sure I can’t install that program 
on the Mack without a whole lot of hassle so I am wondering if there is an 
accessible program similar to that for the mack?

Thanks,

no numpad on bluetooth keyboard

2015-08-30 Thread Donald Goosens 
Since I don’t have a numpad on my bluetooth keyboard a lot of the VoiceOver 
commands do not work.  Is there a resource for keyboard commands using a 
keyboard without a numpad?

What would be the keyboard commands to accomplish all of this?

 The easiest way is to simply drag the icon of the attachment from your email

 If you have the file open, you can also use the File menu in the program that

 Technically, the attachment is already saved on your computer, but its

new to the list

2015-07-06 Thread Donald Goosens 
Î   My name is Donald and I am new to the list.  I bought a used 
MackBook a couple of years ago and have read some books from BookShare.  I have 
a wireless keyboard that I assume came with the computer. It has no numpad.  It 
does have command, option, control and function key.  Where can I find a list 
of key commands that will help me with this keyboard?  Also, Can a totally 
blind person effectively use the drag and drop feature with VoiceOver?  I know 
I have so many questions and I want to thank all of you in advance for your help
