Identifying posters to mailing lists in Mac Mail
Hi, I am running the latest version of Yosemite and Apple Mail on a Macbook Pro. I am a member of some NFB lists, and whenever I receive emails from those lists, the list is announced as the sender rather than the poster. This doesn’t happen in Outlook 2013 under Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get the poster (rather than the list) to show as the sender under Apple Mail?

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question
Hi Daniel, Do you mean being able to resume playback on the Mac from where you left off on your iDevice? If so, this is a limitation in the Mac Overdrive program - you can’t do it.

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question
Hi Daniel, It’s not a limitation between Mac and iOS, it’s a limitation of Overdrive for Mac full stop. It wouldn’t work on the Mac if your second device was a PC rather than an iPhone.

Re: Introduction and some questions
Hi Dewald, Good to have you on the list. The Mac often displays warning messages in what Voiceover describes as System Dialogs. These can range from backups not having been performed for a few days, through to low battery notifications. In short, they’re worth dealing with. In order to get to them, press VO f1 f1, or in other words, hold down control and option, and press f1 twice quickly. This will put you in a list of running applications, use the up and down arrows until you hear ‘system dialog’. Pressing enter will put you in a list of the various system dialogs you have running, press enter on one of them and explore it using VO left and right arrows. Note that the buttons to dismiss them (often close or ok) can appear at either the far left or far right of the dialog, depending on what the dialog is.

I am a piano technician and love to tinker with technology. I got my first Mac in December of last year through a Black Friday deal on Best Buy. I was still in the US by that time. Anyway ... I have some questions, because I'm still new to using it, but yet, I have turned my back on Windows for good. When I start up my Mac, or just waking it up from sleeping, it says 3 system dialogues. And it will repeat it a couple of times. Sometimes it's 1 system dialogue, or two or three system dialogues. What is this? About the notification center: do I have to go in there from time to time and clean up, or is there a way for it to do it automatically? Whichever app I use, I don't know if it is my internet connection or what, but like using something that doesn't even need a connection it will say busy busy busy, ready. Very irritating. They say you can press command-tab to switch between windows. Mine, when i press the combination, it just makes a dunk sound. So I don't know if it's only me, but, I have to press the combination, then release, to give it time to focuss or something, and then I can hold in the command key and press tab repeatedly to cycle between windows. And last for now, do any of you use Scrivener successfully? Is it possible and can someone email me off-list to help. Thank you very very much for any help. I am so excited about my Mac and all the things I can do with it. Just a short amuzing story. I was living with two room mates in Vancouver WA, The one guy had an HP printer, copier and scanner. I had an HP pc trying to connect to this thing, wanting to print something. I spent hours trying to find the right driver, and no matter how I tried to install it, it ended up giving me an error. While I was wondering what I could do, the other guy came with his Mac, connected it to the HP printer, and I promise you, a few seconds later, the machine was spitting out paper. I was dum-founded. You would think: HP to HP ... easy, right? That sold me to get a Mac. And also of course that it came with Voiceover. Amazing! Thank you, God bless, Dewald.

Hi Ray, Thanks, pasting the url into iTunes worked. Yes, I have Safari set to open saved files. Interestingly Voiceover didn’t report the error message by itself in Safari, it just said ‘HTML content’ for the meat of the page, which was empty when I interacted with it. my sighted wife saw the error and clicked it with the mouse, then it spoke.

Siri identifying songs and Apple Music
Hi, Given that Siri can identify playing songs, I was wondering whether iOS 8.4 would let you instruct Siri to add a playing song to your Apple Music library once you’d asked her to identify it, without having to go into Apple Music later and search for it. I haven’t been anywhere I can test this, but it strikes me it would be a neat feature. Cheers, Ed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Is There An Easier Way of Interacting With Apple Music?
Hi Shawn, Further to Chris’s post, I’d recommend using VO+end to move directly to the HTML content rather than repeated presses of VO right arrow.

Most efficient way to jump to search results in iTunes
Hi, This is a bit of a basic question, but what’s the quickest way to jump from the search field to the search results in iTunes on the Mac? Currently I type in my search query and press enter, use VO+shift+up arrow to stop interacting, use VO+End to jump to the bottom of the screen which lands me on the HTML content, and press VO+shift+down arrow to interact. However, it struck me that there was probably a quicker way. Thanks, Ed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: here is an extremely! in depth walkthrough of Apple Music on the Mac with ITunes
Hi Chris, I’d be very surprised if they removed Internet Radio because they’d introduced iTunes Radio. Bear in mind that Internet Radio is a means by which you can access thousands of different radio stations, many of which don’t play music. Still, I guess you never know though.

Question about Apple Music/For You on the Mac
Hi, When I go to the ‘For You’ tab of Apple Music on iOS, I’m presented with a list of things that Apple Music presumably thinks that I might want to listen to. However, when I click the equivalent radio button on the Mac, the Apple Music HTML content remains empty until I search for something. Does anyone know if this is supposed to happen, and if not, how I can get whatever shows up on iOS to show up on the Mac?

Re: Apple Music Offline Listening
Hi Chris, Apologies if someone else has already answered. I’ve managed to add individual tracks to my music. I’m not sure if there’s an easier way than the one I found, but this is what I did. Your steps 1 to 8 match mine. I then play the song. If the song is playing, you can navigate up to the LCD section and interact with it. You will find various information about the track, including an action menu. From there you can copy to my music. Note that once it’s there, you can bring up a context menu on the entry that will appear in My Music if you also want to make it available offline. Strangely you don’t seem to need to play an album in order to add it. A header group appears before the table of tracks, and if you interact with it, you find the same action menu button.

Automatically enabling and disabling Quick Nav when apps gain focus
Hi, I want to set up my Mac so that the state of the quick nav toggle is changed automatically when apps gain focus. I want it to be on in Safari, and off in Mail. I tried to create an activity associated with the Mail program, in which I disabled quick nav. However, when Mail gains focus, the status of quick nav remains unchanged. I tried to create a second one that enabled quick nav and associated it with Safari thinking both might need to exist, but the state of the quick nav toggle doesn’t change when I command tab between the two apps.

Annoying problem with IMAP account in Apple Mail
Hi, I’m having an annoying problem with an IMAP account in Apple Mail on a 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display running Yosemite. It used to work fine, but all of a sudden, it stopped sending and receiving messages. What’s more, if I delete messages from a folder they appear to be gone, but when I close and restart Mail, they appear again. There aren’t any obvious error messages that come up. Removing and recreating the account from within Mail doesn’t work, but deleting the account.plist file from my library/mail folder and recreating the account gets it working again for a day or two, then the same thing happens. Does anyone know how I can cure this problem permanently without having to delete the plist file and recreating the account? Alternatively, are there any other accessible mail apps for the Mac? The latest Outlook isn’t an option as I don’t have office 365. I’m not having any problems with the account on other devices including other Macs.

Re: Message rules problem
Hi Daniel, Not sure if it’s relevant, but lots of people on lists I’m on are having horrendous problems with BT effectively classifying list mail they receive as junk and moving it to their spam folders. If the same thing is happening to you, I wonder if the rule is being prevented from working. Frilliest seem to have been particularly affected.

I was thinking of deleting the account from Mail's preferences quitting mail, open it again and recreate the account in question. My concern though with this is that would I lose any emails that already live in my inbox and possibly any contacts that I've created with the contacts app both on the Mac and iPhone? The email address is IMAP if that's of any help to you. I'm more concerned about losing contacts than emails if I'm honest. P.S. What is an iCloud Alias? Is it where you can use other non related email services E.G. AOL, Hotmail etc with your iCloud account? Or, is it specific to iCloud email addresses only? Thanks in advance for any further advice.

Re: Google docs mobile claims better accessibility
Hi matt, You can just about use VO and Safari to compose and read Google Docs. There are some fairly annoying issues (at least on my system), E.G. when you navigate by whatever textual unit, you get the sound you get when you try to navigate passed the top or bottom of a web page. By default, you’ll also have each character spoken regardless of your key echo setting. You can bizarrely stop this by turning on braille support in Google Docs, you don’t need to have a braille display. Generally speaking, for whichever Google App you want to use with Safari, you should turn off quick nav, disregard most of the quick keys you’re used to using to navigate HTML documents in Safari and use Google shortcuts.

Using an external hard drive on both Mac and Windows
Hi, I have an external hard drive that I’d like to read and write to on both Mac and Windows. I found an oldish article (from 2012) suggesting that I could use either NTFS software on Mac or HFS+ software on Windows to accomplish this, rather than dealing with the drawbacks of using FAT32. Does anyone have any experience of this and have a view as to which solution is most accessible?

Re: question about Qcast
Hi Juliet, Command S should let you search for podcasts.

Outlook for Mac

Re: Having Voiceover speak on Yosemite login screen
Hi Joseph, Thanks for this, that’s useful to know. I’m the only one using this Mac (I disabled the guest account), so I’ll probably just wait a few seconds and enter my password as I don’t have several accounts to cycle through. VO does come on when I do. Alternatively, I might turn off File Vault if it gets too annoying!

When you boot, Several seconds after the startup chime, press Command F5 and you will hear a beep. Type in your account name. Note, nothing will speak. Press enter and you will hear 2 beeps. Now type in your password. The same thing, nothing will talk. Press enter and you will hear 3 beeps. This means that you are now booting.

Re: Latest Pages for College/Professional Work
Hi Alex, This question may be slightly complicated by the fact that JAWS includes features to make use of MS Word more productive that aren't strictly speaking to do with accessibility. For instance, you can search for changes in text attribute and skim read documents, including pulling out sentences that contain particular keywords. Whether these features are useful or not will depend on what you want to do in Word. That said, all the advanced productivity features in the world don't help if FS then breaks access to the Save As dialog box for a month ...

Re: Is There a Slacker Radio equivalent for European listeners?
Hi Mike, You can get access to iTunes Radio in Europe. You just need an iTunes account in the US store. You have to be slightly careful how you associate your mobile devices with it as you might inadvertently lock yourself out of your primary account but it is doable. You could probably access Pandora if you use a proxy server or a VPN.

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a program on the Mac that will enable you to sign into TuneIn radio and play its streams? TuneIn itself only seems to have an iOS app and the website is a bit awkward. I've tried Radium as an alternative but some of the international stations I want to listen to won't play perhaps because of rights restrictions, but they will play on TuneIn as long as I'm signed in.

Re: Quick way to get the time
Hi Jenine, It's right option t, but there are a couple of things you may need to do first. Go into VoiceOver Utility with control option f8, choose Commanders from the table, and make sure Keyboard Commander is enabled. There you'll be able to see whether it is set to use right option for those commands (it will be by default), and a table listing commands that have been assigned including the time one.

Overdrive Media Console not behaving as expected
Hi, I'm using Overdrive Media Console on the Mac to play a purchased title, and am not finding that it behaves as I expect. I thought that command p should toggle play/pause.

Re: how to save attachments on a Mack
Hi Becky, If you definitely want to save them, go into the file menu and choose save attachments. If you just need to access them from the message, command y may be enough for you.

Re: email problems
Hi Alia, Sorry it didn’t work, Turning it off in Notification Centre solved it for me. If you’re running Mountain Lion or higher, the other thing you could try is to go into Mail, Preferences, General, and limit notifications to VIPs (it’s set to Inbox only by default). You could then simply not add anyone to your VIP list and you shouldn’t get any notifications. However, this obviously won’t work if you use your VIP list. Hope that works.

Change to quick key behaviour in Safari in Mavericks
Hi, I use quick keys to navigate web elements in Safari. In Mountain Lion, when I pressed b to move between buttons, it would cycle through what I traditionally think of as buttons which might be search, go, submit etc. However, using b now seems also to bring in pop up buttons (what Windows calls combo boxes). Has anyone else noticed this? While I suppose they are buttons according to Safari, I find it a bit annoying.

Strange problems with fonts and text attributes in Text Edit
Hi, I having problems changing fonts and adding text attributes in tExt Edit. I'm not sure whether Voiceover is incorrectly reporting what I'm trying to do or whether I'm doing something wrong (probably the latter!). When I select text and bold it, whether that's a word or a line, Voiceover reports that all the text is bold. When I go to change the font, I do a select all, and press command t to bring up the fonts. I interact with the table of font families and change it to something like helvetica, but when I go back into my document, the font hasn't changed. Am I missing something?

For instance, on the Amazon site, you navigate a list or menu for which department you want to search in after activating the pop up. With my new Mac, I can't, for instance, type a k to move directly to the item for the Kindle store like I can in Windows after activating the same control, which Windows sees as a combo box.

Re: Battery Life on IOS 7
Hi Brian, YOu may want to try and experiment with background refresh. YOu can control whether individual apps refresh in the background or not.

Hi Brian, You probably saw in Settings, General, Background App Refresh that you can turn it on or off for specific apps.

Also, never use Quick Nav in Pages. Once you have some text in your document, press Cmd-Shift-t to show the styles drawer. Stop interacting with everything and navigate left past the Toolbar to the drawer and interact. Navigate right and interact with the Paragraph styles table. There you should find what you're looking for. You set a hotkey by getting a contextual menu on the style you want and pressing h for hotkey. The submenu offers you the available hotkeys which are F1 to F8.

Using Airdrop with Voiceover
Hi, I have just got a new Macbook Pro, and want to transfer files onto it from my Macbook Air. I have clicked on Airdrop on both machines and each can see the other. I then go to the folder I want to transfer on the Air, and press VO comma to mark it. However, when I locate the image for my Macbook Pro and press VO period, I am told that the marked item is no longer available. I also tried to copy and paste it but suspected that wouldn't work as the things I'd read about Airdrop suggested that I needed to use drag and drop, and sure enough, the it didn't. It's probably stating the obvious, but both machines are running Mountain Lion and connected to the same WiFi network. Any tips/guidance on where I'm going wrong would be much appreciated.

Re: FTP

Hi Jessica, Option up arrow is the Cyberduck shortcut for uploading files. You'll see the standard open dialog when you invoke this command, from where you will choose the file(s) you want to upload.
