Alternatives for Droptext.
Hi all. I have just started working with droptext and although its nice I wonder if there are other alternatives for text editors on the IOS platform worth exploring. One thing bothering me with droptext is that it takes some keypresses to get into a file that you want to work on? Also I really hope that one day, preferably right now would be nice, it would be possible to get an app that remembers where you last left a document so you easily can continue writing. The I-pad-pod-phone is stil some way from being a notetaker substitute. But maybe I am wrong and just have not found the right app. Best regards, Jesper. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

I can't get the hang on smart playlist.
Hi all. I have just bought an ipod touch and now I need to put my library of music on the ipod. However, since I have my musuc collection in Aif format I need to convert to another format, either lossless or aac or mp3 in order to fit it on my ipod. Thus far, I have converted to aac all my files, in the way that there exists one big library with all aif and aac files in the same library. I would like to accomplish 2 smart playlists one containing all my Aif files, the other containing my aac files. After research on the net I have found out that Maybe it can be done, but I just cannot get it to work, when I try to make a smart playlist. After interacting with the rules section of the dialobogx what parameters to set. I have tried diffferent things, but after concluding the setup Itunes says that nothing has been put into the rule.

Re: I can't get the hang on smart playlist.
be prompted to type in a name. Probably, there will be a suggested default name like AAC or AIFF which you can change. Hope this helps. If you want to edit the smart playlist, you can use the context menu after you select your playlist in the sources table. You can also use VO-J to easily jump between the songs table corresponding to your playlist and your selection in the sources table. HTH Cheers, Esther Jesper Holten wrote: Hi all.

Hi Jesper, For general information about making smart playlists, you can check this posted introduction to smart playlists in the Mail Archive for this list: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg01294.html Actually, since that post was written, improvements in iTunes 9 have made the construction of smart playlists more flexible, and you're no longer limited to making playlists that either match just any of your rules or all of your rules. However, to get on to your specific question, you can make your smart playlists in iTunes as follows: 1. Command-Option-N to create a new smart playlist (or find this option in the File menu on the iTunes menu bar if you don't remember the shortcut: VO-M to go to the menu bar, press F to go to the File menu, arrow down to New Smart Playlist; if there are shortcut keys they will be announced following the name of the command). 2. In the Smart Playlist dialog window you'll hear Smart playlist, selected by. VO-Right arrow to the Rules Section and interact (VO- Shift-Down Arrow). 3. At the start of the first rule you'll be at a pop up button that is set to Artist. VO-Space on this button and press K to change the pop up to Kind and press return. (You can navigate the pop up menu options with your arrow keys or by typing the first few letters of the keyword you want). 4. VO-Right arrow past the pop up button for contains (and leave this at this setting) to the text field. Type in the kind of music you want to select -- e.g. AIFF or AAC. At this point I would usually press return to get out of the smart playlist dialog window by committing my selections and just choose a name for my playlist at the next prompt, however, you might want to explore the rest of the menu options. If you VO-Right arrow after typing in your text, you'll come to Add and Group buttons at the end of the rule. The Add button is for adding another rule -- for example, you might want this smart playlist to contain only music of a selected genre, or only recently added music. The Group button is a new feature of iTunes 9 that allows you apply groups of rule selections under your first rule. For example, let's say that you wanted a smart playlist that contained only AAC files in the Jazz and Classical genres. Before iTunes 9 you would have had to create two smart playlists, one that matched the two rules that Kind contained AAC, and that Genre contained Jazz, and a second that matched the rules that Kind contained AAC and that Genre contained Classical. Then you would have had to make a third smart playlist out of the two individual playlists with the rules that your music either fell into the Jazz playlist or the Classical playlist (e.g., you matched any of the two following rules: Playlist is name of Jazz playlist or Playlist is name of Classical playlist). Under iTunes 9, you no longer have to make smart playlists out of playlists; you can handle this with the Group button. After selecting the rule Kind contains AAC, you would press (VO-Space) the Group button. Again, you would hear Artist pop up button. However, if you VO-left arrow back through the entries, you'll find that the new, group rules section begins with a pop up button that is set to all (of the following rules), but which you can reset to any using VO-Space and your arrow keys. If I set that button to any, and then VO-Right arrow to the Artist pop up button and change it to Genre, I can type in the rule Genre contains Jazz (where Jazz is typed into the text field). I can add a second rule to the group by pressing (VO-Space) the Add button at the end of the first rule, and making this Genre contains Classical. If I then press return after typing Classical, I'll have made a smart playlist which contains all AAC files that meet the group rules of either containing Jazz or Classical as part of the genre. If you don't want to create additional rules (or group rules), you can just stop interacting with the rules sections (VO-Shift up arrow) after typing in your text (e.g. AAC or AIFF), then VO-Right arrow to explore the other options in the smart playlist. For example, you can limit your smart playlist by size, total
Re: I can't get the hang on smart playlist.
Hi. That is most helpful. Do you per chance know how to delete podcasts on the ipod /iphone? I have downloaded some podcasts via the unit and now I want to get rid of them again but how to do that? Kind regards, Jesper. - Original Message - From: Esther mori...@mac.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 5:18 PM Subject: Re: I can't get the hang on smart playlist. Hi, You don't need to mark any songs before making a smart playlist -- the way you set up the rules determines what is included in the playlist, and the rules apply to your entire iTunes library. If you want to limit your selection to your music library and not include anything from your audiobooks, for example, you add a rule like Media Kind is Music, for example. The only assumption in the instructions is that you have iTunes open as your current application. By contrast, when I make up regular playlists, I'll select a library in the sources table, and then either type in search terms to be matched in the search text field (Command-Option-F if you want to go there directly; otherwise, use tab or VO-arrow keys to navigate), or make selections in the file browser (toggled on and off with Command- B, and with display formats specified in the View menu on the iTunes menu bar under the Column Browser submenu). Then, I'll go to the songs table and select my results. Usually, by a combination of using the browser combined with the search text field (if needed) and sort column options, I can specify nearly everything I want for a playlist. Then I can just select all (Command-A) in the songs table and use Command-Shift-N (New playlist from selection) to create my playlist. At worst, I'll have to delete some items, or I may have to select another block of items with a different set of criteria via the browser and search text fields, and then add to the playlist (from the context menu in the songs table, or by copying from the songs table and pasting to a selected playlist in the sources table). Another couple of points that were mentioned in the linked Mail Archive post: by default, in the smart playlist a box for live updating is checked. That means that any rules you use for the smart playlist continues to be applied after the time you create the playlist. For example, if your smart playlist contains all Jazz tracks in AAC format, if you add more AAC Jazz tracks to your library at a later time, they will automatically appear in your smart playlist. Or if one of your rules is to select all tracks with a play count above 20 (as a way of picking out your most played music), Any track that you play more than 20 times becomes a part of the smart playlist. This occurs even if the track is one that you purchased from the iTunes Store and downloaded directly to your iPhone. If you happen to play the track 21 times and you have a smart playlist on your iPhone that has a rule for including all tracks with a play count greater than 20, then that track shows up there as soon as it meets the criteria for inclusion. Also, it's quite useful to check the size and playing time of any playlist. VO-Down arrow from the songs table of your selected playlist and read the status bar for the number of items, total playing time, and size. You can also limit any of these quantities in your smart playlist, and specify how you want your playlist reduced to match the limits. HTH Cheers, Esther Jesper Holten wrote: Hi. Thanks alot.

On a Mac these are: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml The first file is a binary format file that iTunes works with. The second (.xml) file is a version of the first file that third-party software programs can work with, that contains much (but not all) of the same information. When you first open iTunes, it will look for these files. If they are not present, then iTunes will create these files (which will have no entries). If you have a copy of the iTunes Music Library.xml file from a backup, you can force iTunes to rebuild its iTunes Library file with the contents of the iTunes Music Library.xml file by opening the newly created iTunes Library file in an editor like TextEdit, deleting everything, and then saving the file. Note that it does not work to delete the file, since iTunes will just create a new version of this file, reflecting a blank library, the next time you open iTunes. If you then replace the existing .xml file (i.e., iTunes Music Library.xml) with your backup version (by deleting the newly created iTunes Library.xml file and copying your backup version to this directory), then the next time you open iTunes it will rebuild the iTunes Library file using the contents of your iTunes Library.xml file. What this means is that all the information about your playcounts, ratings, playlists, etc. will be reconstructed. The only thing that will different is that the information about the date the tracks were added to your library will be lost -- they will all show up as being added at the time you forced iTunes to rebuild its database. This method only works well if the music tracks are in the same location as they were when you made the backup of your iTunes Music Library.xml file -- which does not appear to be the case here, since you've moved your tracks from the the external drive to Macintosh HD. However, if you really want your music tracks to be stored on your external drive, the tracks are still there, and you have an old copy of your iTunes Music Library.xml, perhaps from a Time Machine backup, then you can use the method I outlined above to restore your library. Otherwise, it might be easiest to just use Add to Library (Command-O) and type or paste: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music into the dialog window prompt (assuming that is where you've copied your music). Then iTunes will simply recreate the library data base when it adds your music. You will lose the information on playlists and also playcounts and ratings, I think, but the other information will all be there. It's possible to edit the backup iTunes Music Library.xml and use Find and Replace to change the file paths of all your music from the external to your current music location, but that can be rather tedious. (Maybe somebody should write a script or automator workflow for this problem; it should be possible to shell script this easily enough.) In any case, one of these solutions should work for you. The easiest thing might be just to add all your current tracks on the Macintosh HD to your iTunes Library. Make sure that these tracks are somewhere in your folder ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder before you Add to Library with Command-O. It doesn't even matter if the tracks are not organized by structure of Artist and Album -- iTunes will reorganize this correctly from your tag information when it adds the tracks and move the files to the proper location within this directory. The main point is that if you are adding your tracks from some other location, iTunes will copy versions to the iTunes Music folder when it adds the tracks, thus doubling the amount of space that is occupied. This assumes that you have the default iTunes preference settings for the advanced pane of iTunes preferences with the boxes checked for Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library. You can check your settings by opening the preferences menu with Command-comma, and navigating to the Advanced pane, then reading the settings. HTH. I can't test this in Snow Leopard, but this is how iTunes works in all previous versions so I assume this is accurate. Cheers, Esther On Sep 11, 2009, Jesper Holten wrote

I hear the one click of the mouse. Next, I navigate to the external hard drive using the window chooser menu. I then interact with the list of items in the drive. Finally, I hit VO command f5 to route the mouse to the hard drive. Here's where things get messed up though. When I hit VO command f5, it tells me that the name of the drive, indicating I have routed the mouse correctly. However, when I hit VO f5, it tells me that the Itunes folder is under the mouse. So I try VO command f5 again, and again it tells me that the drive is under the mouse. However, hitting VO f5 still tells me that the Itunes folder in music is under the mouse. Also, when I hit command shift space, nothing happens, and the Itunes folder is not copied. Keep in mind cursor tracking is off. What is going on here?

Watching and recording tv on the mac.
Hi all. Last friday I got my Imac and I am pretty happy about everything. But I really would love two things. I have installed eye tv 3.1 on the system. Then I am able to watch tv. However, I really would love to make scheduled recordings of tv shows. Any Idea to accomplish that? I use a fire dtv digital tv cable converter with a cam module. I also would like to get the epg program guide information if possble. What can I do? Is Plex accessible? Or can frontrow do the trick, and in that case how?

Re: Mac mini
Hi. All mac computers are intel based today, and therefore you can run windows or linux or any other operating system that runs on intle computers in a virtual machine. Whether you buy a mac mini or mac book laptop depends on your requirements. Be ware that the mini is the cheapest of the mac systems and that it comes without mouse, keyboard and a screen. While of corse the laptops and the Imac is fully configured machines with everything contained such as a keyboard and screen.

Is the mac mini a Intel based device or not? As I'd be wanting a windows VM also is it going to be a worthwhile purchase or should I be looking at the mac book instead? Thanks for any input here.

Re: Preview Question...
Hi Mike. I am not aware of a solution on the mac. but the same problem can occur in windows sometimes. Especially if you convert the pdf file directly to text format from adobe reader. Not to say hereby, that there is no solution on the mac, but just to say that I have seen the same thing on windows machines.

Hi all: I'm in the process of reading a 500 plus page book in PDF format. I'm using preview for this but I'm encountering a slight prob. When moving from page to page, VO is announcing the bottom half of the previously read page before reading the next page I want to hear. I have set in my preferences to use logical page #s and so on plus scaling. I have attempted to turn vo tracking off to see if that helped and it didn't. Bringing thepage to full screen doesn't help either. TNX: Mike --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Vlc and eye tv question once again.
Hi. What will be my setup as it looks now: Imac 24 FIREDtV firewire external digital tv reciever that hooks up to my cable provider using db c codec. software might be eyetv 3 either as stand alone, or in conjunction with front row via Pye tv plugin. I plan to connect the imac to my hifi setup through the digital optical output via tosslink, or maybe USB to an Hegel h100 stereo high-end amplifier, and wall mounted speakers. In the future Sonos or squeezebox and a nas server may be part of the equation. Any other suggestions would be greatly apreciated! Ps. I have ordered but not yet gotten my Imac! So I am waiting anxiously for the beast to arrive Best, Jesper. - Original Message - From: Mark Baxter markbaxte...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 10:29 PM Subject: Re: Vlc and eye tv question once again.
