Re: Navigating app store
Greetings all, This does not work for me here, either Cara's approach or Tracy's, which I think are actually the same. Any thoughts on some other possibilities? I've been able to view the details of apps in the mac app store previously on Ventura, but not any longer. I want to say that I used to be able to VO command space to perform actions on the apps list. This does not work anymore, if it did before. When ever I route the mouse to any area of the text of the name of the application, VoiceOver speaks that it is on the get button. If I perform a mouse click, it then asks me if I want to install the application. Thanks for any help. --FC On May 1, 2023, at 19:00, Traci Duncan wrote: > > Hello, thank you for your reply. > > I just tried what you suggested, and it didn’t work for me. :) However… > > What worked twice in a row was moving the mouse focus to the app and left > clicking on it.

Re: Really frustrated with Mail! For real this time!
Hi Veronica I would try changing the ports selection from trying 25 465 and 587 to just use 587. If you go to the accounts tab then the accounts information tab. Select the edit smtp server option from the outgoing mailserver pop up. Select the button that says custom port and pop the number in the edit box. Make sure you have the use ssl checked. I would also try changing the authentication method if that doesn't work. Most folks are using password. Some will use m5 challenge response. Let me know if that helps. If you have any more trouble I don't mind giving you a call. I have your number around here somewhere. I've never had this be such a problem that I couldn't make it work.

You can use imap from as many devices as you want and they will all stay in sync. If you use pop you are downloading your messages to each device and you may or may not be deleting them on the server dependent on the way each mail client is configured.

That's why there are mac and windows versions of some software. Yes there are 32 bit and 64 bit versions of sofware. Most of the time people use what's called a universal binary for mac os. It figures out, at run time, if your machine is 64 bit and runs the appropriate mode. Like I mentioned on the pro tools access list, the mini is a core 2 duo at up to 2.66 ghz. This is quite a bit slower than an i5 or i7 at 2.6 ghz. This is do to the architectural changes.

A drive just for audio will allow you to avoid headaches. Make sure that it is a firewire 800 drive with firewire pass through.

Itunes does not let you change what sound card you play out of that is connected to that machine currently. You can use an air port express or an apple tv to play itunes to a networked audio output. Voiceover will always use the selected system sound output which can be your firewire device or the internal audio device. You can use your firewire audio device to play sounds from other applications that support this. Most of those are audio production apps like pro tools, audacity and yes even garageband. Why Apple doesn't let you do this with iTunes I don't understand. Maybe in a future release.

Re: couple hard ware questions
Hi The size of mac software and windows software isn't comparable. Different applications take up differing amounts of room. I have all of what I need to carry on a 240 gb ssd in the mbp. This includes a smallish iTunes library of 172 albums, iwork, ilife, pro tools and a bunch of plugins. It doesn't sound like you really know what you want to use the machine for.

Re: couple hard ware questions
Hello The new mac book pro is a dual core i7 in the 13 inch and a quad core in the 15 and 17 inch models. Deciding between the 13 and the 15, dual and quad core, will make quite a bit of difference. Other than that I wouldn't worry about it. Moving up to 8 gb of memory is something worth doing for sure. The solid state disk makes all the difference in the world. You should determine what you want to do with the machine. Let that drive your choice of machine. If you are going to be writing documents, sending mail, browsing the web and using iTunes than a upgraded mac book air would be the least expensive way to get great performance. If you need a bit more processing power for audio recording, editing and mixing or photo editing than the 13 or 15 inch mac book pro would be the way to go. Solid state disks really make a difference and you get one by default in the mac book air. The minimum amount of memory one should have in a computer with 10.6 is 4 gb in my opinion. It makes it much more enjoyable to use. I have 8 gb and an ssd in my mac book pro and it's wonderful. I have a dual core i7.

Re: monitoring internet trafic
Hello William You didn't mention anything about your network typology. What kind of internet provider do you have? Cable dsl fiber? What kind of router do you have between your devices and that provider? You will want to measure the traffic going through that router. The tool that you use to measure the amount of bandwidth you are consuming will depend on the router. It's also possible that your ISP can tell you about your usage. They probably won't give you a detailed report. If you really want a detailed report you would probably need a device that supports that sort of thing. BTW 2 gb is not very much traffic at all considering what you say your using the link for.

Re: hotspots again, might be doing something wrong
Hi Yuma Some folks are able to save hotspots across reboots and others aren't. It would be good if we could figure out what it is that causes this difference. If you are looking for garageband hotspots than get quickkeys and Brian Smart's voxkeys. He's got good stuff in there for garageband. It will help you a bunch. He is adding stuff for logic and pro tools also. They are up on http://www.briansmart.com.

Re: Apple ipad keyboard and dock or Apple Bluetooth keyboard which one to purchase
Hi Dean The question makes you sound confused or maybe I'm confused. There are docks for the iphone that have a keyboard. These kind of make the phone become a flip phone. The ipad and a dock with keyboard is a whole other thing. If you get the apple bluetooth keyboard you can use it with anything that has bluetooth keyboard support. This includes all macs, ipads, iphones, ipod touches, and much more. I love the current apple bluetooth keyboard. It is exactly the same keyboard that is on the mac books but in a small yet very sturdy housing. If you get one of the docks for the iphone 3gs that gives you the fold out keyboard you will need to get a different one or the iphone 4 or the iphone 5. The iphone 5 should be out by July so you may want to pick that up instead of the iphone 4. I recommend the apple bluetooth keyboard. I think you will enjoy typing on it better than any of the other keyboards. The ipad dock, from last year, also has the same keyboard. Haven't seen this years yet. I don't like the dock though. You can't use it on you lap. It's for using on a desk.

You mean a 2.66 ghz core 2 duo? They didn't make anything faster than about a 3 ghz. I'd say more ram would be a good thing to have. 2 gb is a little on the small side for even everyday tasks on snow leopard. If I was going to upgrade the ram I would go right to 8 gb. System requirements can very based on how much processing you want to do. If you are planning on recording more than 32 tracks with three or more plugins per track get an i75 or an i7 with at least 8 gb of ram. Make sure to get fast drives. One drive for the system and one for audio. The speed of the drive is much more important than the size. The latest generation of 7200 rpm drives are good enough for audio. Upgrade your ram to 8 gb and see how it goes. You won't regret doing the ram upgrade. If you don't like pro tools you can always sell it. The 03 factory is very usable. The command8 is a bit less expensive if your only looking for a control surface. There are quite a few good inexpensive a/d an d/a solutions. Remember pro tools 9 now allows you to use any audio interface that works with coreaudio. The microphone preamps in the 003 aren't that great so it may be worth getting one of the other inexpensive options as a firewire add on. If your looking to get in to this you should find a company in your country that can sell you pro tools and a control surface. Usually people will give you a deal as a bundle. If you want to add some plugins they may discount the package even further. HTH --FC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: iphone3 gs problem:
Hi They told you to reset your phone because of a battery that's crapping out? Hard to believe that an Apple employee wouldn't know better. I'm sorry they gave you bad information. The battery is dying. Time for a new battery. If you have apple care and it's with in the two years they should give you a new phone for free. If you don't have apple care then you will need to buy a new phone or live with this battery problem until you can get a new phone. You should make sure that you are trying to keep your batteries healthy. Make sure that you fully drain, use until it shuts itself off, and charge to 100% once a month. Try to use the phone longer before plugging it in. Try to let it come to 100% before unplugging it. Don't leaved it plugged in after it is fully charged. These are all things that will help get you a longer life out of your battery. --FC On Mar 15, 2011, at 8:06 PM, Chenelle Hancock wrote: > hello all, > i am having a singuler problem with my iphone 3 gs. whenever i am on the > phone withsomeone it could go down to fout percent and tenafterwards it > would just cut itself off. i took it to the apple store esterda and someone > there fyy > Sent f told me to do a restore of my phone and that is what i did. i even > went as far as to back up all of the information on m phone and retransmit > it all back to the phone and it is still cutting off after soxty percent of > my power usage. is there anone that can help me?. > i really most sincerely appreciate it. > chenelle thanks a lot for your help in this matter.ytyom my iPhone > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Albums purchased from iTunes not sorted properly
Hello A few things that you will want to do. First if you are looking to navigate by artist and album you should turn on the playlist browser by pressing command b. It will announce show column browser. This will show up between the sources table and the track table now called music table. When you interact with this table you will find your albums and artists lists alphabetically. Once you have the playlist browser you can then find the album you want. Stop interacting with the playlist browser and interact with the music browser. Then sort by track. It will be the column that says things like 1 of 10 or 3 of 14. Hit the VO shift backslash or VO vertical bar to choose to sort the column up or down. Then you will have them in order. That is if all is right with the track number tags.. All of the music that I have that came from the iTunes store is tagged correctly.

Yeah. I feel your pain. I used it to do a few mixes and some edits. Not fun at all. Depending on if it is worth the money to you pro tools is great. You may be able to find a deal still on pro tools 9 for $450 US. Having some kind of control surface really helps though so you might end up spending a bit of money on that also. You will find it much much much easier to get things done for sure. Of course if your not doing to much multi track then garageband could work. I haven't tried it yet.

voiceover interacting when collapsing threads in mail message table
Hello I search the list archive to see if I could find anything about this and didn't come up with anything, so forgive me if this has been asked before. It seems as though voiceover always wants to interact with the table when I collapse a thread. I don't like this much. Is there anything I can do about it?

Any iThing can remotely control an iTunes library which is what the Apple tv is. It is rumored that Apple will be releasing a new Apple tv shortly and for less cost. I sure hope this is the truth for I need to buy two of them to continue the way we watch tv in my house. Currently I have an airport express the remote app on the iPhone and iTunes running on the mini and it's awesome connected up to my 1962 Eico st-40. The sound of tube amplification is so wonderful when it's done right. Search the app store for remote. When you find the free one from Apple, install it and enjoy. --FC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

sip phones was Re: Very cool voip
Hello I have tried quite a few sip phones for the iphone and the only one that works for me is Media5. It also does a pretty good job with g722. Paired with how good the mic is on the iphone this thing sounds pretty darn good. I have a freeswitch instance running at a colo if anyone would like to try it out. There are conference rooms a plenty to drag your friends in to if you'd like. Just write me off list. As long as the whole world doesn't ask me for an account I don't mind setting up a few. Freeswitch is nice because it has support for so many different codecs and it's conferencing mixes them all at 48k internally. Also telephone, from google code, is a pretty good sip client for the mac. It does do g722 but it doesn't quite get it right. Something about how it packs the bits. It ends up having a much higher noise floor and clips easily. Telephone is quite accessible and the layout is really nice IMHO. I hope that they add celt and silk support.

Re: any news on pro tools?
Hello Slau I am concerned about how efficient I can be when tracking. I used to record using the remote for the Otari mx80 which had actual mini toggle switches for track arming and play/record/repro. I have actually found someone who can build me a remote with real switches for around $5,000. If I can have the braille display cursor routing keys toggle the armed state and display the state then I can have the same functionality but also get a braille display out of the deal. I guess I'm going to have to learn how to do some Apple scripting. I plan on doing lots of live tracking with full bands where I feel as though I will need to have a speedy way of knowing the track armed state with out having to listen to 24 or 32 status messages. I am really looking forward to trying out the level monitoring. Do they have a tone generator following the amplitude or just a numeric value with a peek hold setup? Thanks for keeping us all informed. --FC On May 28, 2010, at 10:27 AM, Slau Halatyn wrote: > I don't use a braille display.

Re: any news on pro tools?
Hello I grabbed a echo audiofire 12 when they were on sale at Christmas time. I haven't even plugged it in to the mac yet. I was trying to explore garageband a bit but I didn't get very far with importing some wav files. I have found the learning curve with the mac to be high. I hope that now that I understand it a bit more jumping in to protools won't be to difficult. I am very interested to try PT with a braille display. I hate listening to audio and speech at the same time. Slau have you had a chance to try PT with a braille display? If so how easy is it to get a quick look at what tracks are armed?

safari questions
Hello all I sent a note in another thread about safari but I probably should of sent it in a new thread. I am wondering about safari and it's handling of the back button. Is it normal to not be returned to the link that you clicked? Sometimes I am but it seems less now then months ago when I first started using safari.

naming groups in address book
Hello When I click the add new group button or press command+shift+n it creates the new group but I don't see how to name it. If I then select the group called untitled and try to rename the group with the option from the edit menu I also can not find how to enter the text to name the group.

Re: Safari Navigation shortcuts for use with searches [was Re: Mail and trash]
Hello everyone I have not been able to figure out if the behavior I'm seeing is correct. When I go back in safari it does not place me on the link that I clicked except for maybe 10% of the time. It seems as though it used to work a bit better. So is safari able to return me to the link that I clicked when I hit the back button? If so what might I have set wrong? Thanks for any help. --Frank On May 22, 2010, at 9:10 PM, Esther wrote: > Hi Carolyn, > > You wrote: > >> Quick question: >> Hope it's not too soon to bug you:). >> >> I'm now doing some research on the Mac (yay!) and have googled some terms. >> I'm clicking on articles to read them, and able to download what I need to, >> or email it to myself.

I do not know if they are usable with Mac OSX machines. They aren't to expensive so you could try one and if it doesn't work you could sell it on Craigslist.
