Mac OS Big Sur Mission Center and command+tab

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi All,

I had a question about Mission Control and Mac Big Sur.  Is it possible to have 
cmd+tab just switch between windows in the currently active (space), virtual 
desktop?

In windows, I can alt+tab, and if I have mail, and chrome open in  desktop1, 
and outlook and word in  desktop2, alt+tab will just toggle me between mail and 
chrome, and when I switch to desktop2, it’ll toggle me between outlook and word.

Right now, I can put apps in different spaces, but when I cmd+tab it switches 
me through all open tabs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Juan

Re: IRC CLient

[Juan Hernandez]

How do I get it to speak?  I have the checkbox enabled for speech.  I’ve sat in 
front of textual and  waited for it to read the incoming messages, but when I 
go to  the channel output I see people chatting, but VoiceOver doesn’t read it.

auto speaking of notifications

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi All,

I had a quick question.  I some how have notifications auto speaking when they 
come in.  It is really annoying especially when I’m in a meeting on zoom, the 
notification blares what ever it is.  Like text messages, imagine being on a 
business call, and your wife/girl fireld/boy friend sending you a really 
personal text? that would be really awkward? :) anyways if anyone can help me 
out with this I’d greatly appreciated.

I’m on a iMac with mac os 10.14 Mojave .

Best,

Juan

RE: Major issue with 4th Gen AppleTV

Exactly.  Since apple tv4 came out, the keyboard has always been in one long 
row.  It was the tv 2 and 3 that had the multiple rows and collumns of letters.

RE: Slack on iOS and Watch OS

[Juan Hernandez]

The iOS app is working pretty well.  I have been using it for a year, and have 
seen it improve.  The same goes for the Mac OS X version as well.  That works 
pretty good aswell, and has improved over the last year.

 

The web version of slack is always my goto when in windows, because it is very 
accessible via internet explorer/firefox/chrome.  The windows Slack so far is 
like 100% not accessible.  Hopefully that’ll change soon.

 

Best,

Xcode playgrounds

[Juan Hernandez]

Hello,

I am playing with playgrounds in xCode.

I rated a new playground, and gave it a name, and said it was to be a mac os x 
playground.

so I type the link of code println(“this is my first test.”)

I also went up to menu view, assistant editor, and then activated the show 
assistant editor option.

Then I quit interacting with the source code editor, then did vo+right and I 
think found the assistant editor.  I interacted with it, and I get two 
different issues:

1.  I find a copy of my code in that editor.
2.  It shows as empty.

What are the steps to use a playground to test code snippets in xCode 7.2?

Thanks in advanced.

Perhaps you've found that an iTunes Media Server doesn't meet your needs, but 
my Synology NAS broadcasts itself on the network as an iTunes Media server, 
making all the media on it searchable and playable from within any iTunes on 
the network.

It also has some absolutely brilliant iOS apps, which allow me to access all of 
my content from anywhere. The NAS itself can send audio and video to any 
AirPlay or DLAN device, which takes your IDevice out of the mix when playing a 
lot of content, say, to an Apple TV. And this particular model i have does its 
own transcoding for maximum compatibility with the device seeking to play the 
content.

The web UI has serious accessibility issues, some of which will be addressed in 
the next update, but there is a command-line UI as well. More info in my blog 
post here.

After two days on this, I’m about ready to surrender.

For whatever reason, Apple clearly does not want you running a media server 
from which one can stream and download on its iOS devices: it’s either the 
cloud—Apple’s cloud, natch—or streaming only.  And of course it has to be 
iTunes for your streaming server or the store if you’ve got iTunes content, and 
of course implementing this on a separate computer is just tricky enough to be 
impractical, and only supports some media types some of the time, and doesn’t 
support books or audiobooks at all.  It simply isn’t possible to remotely 
control a media library with all of the content in it, not even from an Apple 
computer.  These features are clearly only intended for use by individuals on 
an informal basis, but simply can’t compete with rival media server solutions.

I have made a note to come back to this.  Maybe in the future, my dream can 
come true.  In the meantime, the old Mac Mini might come back to life as an OS 
X Server caching downloads, saving some of my bandwidth and making downloads 
from the store a bit more practical.

There are also two other lessons to be learned from this:

1.  DRM is evil.  Really, really evil.  Without DRM, iTunes could be thrown 
aside, and all content managed on the NAS directly.

2.  Leave iTunes running.  Your devices will sync more regularly, and you can 
stream your stuff.  Just close the window to make it less distracting, while 
leaving the app open.  Just like Mail.

And a question:

What about protected ePub books?  If you opened one of those from your NAS, 
would you be able to read it in iBooks?  Other protected files will seemingly 
not play if opened, including Audible.

moving in text

Hi All,

I would like to know, if there are equivalent commands like in windows for the

home: places someone at the beginning of the line
end:  places someone at the end of a line
ctrl+home:  puts you at the top of the file
ctrl+end:  puts you at the end of the file

I am in eclipse’s code editor, but I think what I am looking for can work 
anywhere there is a text area, like text edit.

Well, let’s just say that I’ve opened TextEdit more than once now to do it, 
copying and pasting into Safari, just to avoid the pain of typing in Safari 
directly.  Whether the text is repeated over and over from start with every 
character or simply not announced at all, the caret doesn’t follow the VO 
cursor properly, or cursor navigation is either silent or unreliable, it’s a 
bloody nuisance.

And yes, clean install.

cannot restart into windows

restart from the system prefs --> startup drive - bootcamp selector.  When I
interact with the radio button controls of bootcamp or the mac os x drive,
they are dimmed.  Has anyone seen this issue?  If yes can this be fixed? Or
must I go into windows via the pressing option key at startup method?

When you connect your device, the braille embosser in this case, Vm Fusion will 
bring up a dialog, asking what to do with the usb device.  To connect to the 
mac (host) or the windows (guest) systems.  Just press on the windows button, 
and you should be good.  It then will be recognized on windows.

HTH.

 Hello everyone,
 
 The subject line is quite clear.
 I have installed Duxbury on my virtual image of Windows, but I cannot figure 
 out how to ad a “virtual USB” port for the embosser?
 I am mirroring my Windows configuration because this  is presume to be ideal, 
 but my efforts are futile.
 Basically, I do not know what to do since I do not see any virtual ports 
 listed in my printer properties for the Generic Text Printer.
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 I am using the same version of Windows 7 on both my laptop and my virtual 
 image of Windows on my iMac.
 
 Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
 
 P.S Thanks to the person who posted how to batch convert files with Amadeus 
 Pro a year ago. I found the advice quite helpful from the archives.

terminal and voiceover

[Juan Hernandez]

Can someone who uses terminal on their mac give me some pointers?
  I can’t seem to get the back of reading the screen output.  The only thing I 
can interact with is that at the bottom, the last object area that I vo+right 
arrow to.  I am just having a hard time getting a good read on terminal.  Any 
tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Juan

Re: parallels 10 accessibility

[Juan Hernandez]

you aren’t kidding.  once I plugged in a usb headset, it speed up to nearly 
full normal when I run windows natively.  I wonder why vmware can’t fix this.  
I wish I could get a headphone with multiple connections   at work, I need to 
ware headphones, and will it is really awkward to ware 2 headphones :) oh well. 
 speed is so much important in this case.

Thanks.

 Yes, that’s exactly what I meant: tell Fusion to treat your USB sound card

 can’t share audio output with your VM, but it’s definitely a boost for 
 latency.

Re: proposal: the macvisionaries bug replication thread

[Juan Hernandez]

This sounds great.  Or we can create another mail list for apple betas.
 On Jul 12, 2015, at 12:14 PM, Yuma Decaux jamy...@gmail.com wrote:
 
 Hi All,
 
 I see a lot of you have downloaded the public beta, and since apple’s 
 amendment to disclosure of information regarding public beta bugs and 
 features allows pretty much every news outlet out there to discuss these 
 things, including all comments from individuals doing the same in these 
 articles, it is fair to assume that it will not be a problem either for 
 mailing lists and other communication channels.
 
 So I propose that we create a thread for people to write up different 
 inconsistencies they might find for others to replicate the issue so that 
 those who have feedback assistant can report this to the engineers. The idea 
 is for the more commonly occuring bugs to be squashed, by sheer number of 
 reports. Some will not have the time to write the thing down properly but can 
 definetely participate since legally those discussions are possible.
 
 I first will need to ask a few people, then confirm this is possible since 
 all of us are voice over users and all of us want voice over to be as good as 
 it can get.
 
 I believe there should be a few rules:
 1-no feature requests as this would explode the thread
 2-When someone finds an issue, there should be a structured method of 
 explaining the process so that others can easily replicate it
 3-All should be in the same thread in order not to hijack the mailing list 
 with everyone reporting issues, which can clutter the list from certain 
 everyday technical questions other non public beta users may have.
 
 This is a proposal, and I’m not quite on the go ahead as I would like to make 
 sure every angle is covered before really going through it.
 
 A question: where are the moderators in this list? Can someone give me 
 his/her email?
 
 Thanks, and have an awesome week

Re: parallels 10 accessibility

[Juan Hernandez]

It is really laggy when using jaws, whinnies, or nvda.

I need to use visual studio for work a lot, and well it just lags really bad.  
use of the keyboard feels very sluggish.  I know it will never be as fast as a 
native environment, but I think by this time in the vm software game they 
should have better speed.

I wonder if using the vm with out a screen reader is after, if the screen 
reader is the one wo is lagging things down.

 For the auto completion bit, if you do vo f2 twice and pull up the window,

 There might, alternatively, be a way to get rid of that description window

 But this is really  great news for those of you that use it.
 
 If anyone has any info, I’d love to hear it to fix the issue I’m having, or

 Hey Juan,
 
 That’s great news. I’ll stick to using eclim as I like my vim commands, but 
 this will definetely be a nice addition for everyone who wants to use eclipse 
 for uni courses.
 
 For the auto completion bit, if you do vo f2 twice and pull up the window, go 
 to the last element of said window and you will get to the correct list of 
 suggestions. I know this is long and tedious to do for each auto completion 
 session, which is why I suggested the applescript. There might be a better 
 method for this, such as a new feature on el capitan but I haven’t tested it 
 out yet.
 
 There might, alternatively, be a way to get rid of that description window to 
 force vo focus directly onto the list of suggestions.
 
 Cheers,

Re: Sorry if OT

[Juan Hernandez]

what better place to discuss this then here?  If we who are testing it ask each 
other questions, post comments observations etc, I don’t see why that isn’t a 
problem.  The better the communication we have the better feedback 
we can have with apple to make sure our voices are heard to get things done 
during  this beta cycle.

When I was at wwdc, I was told this isn’t a big
 deal.  

Maybe we should start a apple beta discussion list if there will be issues.

What do you guys think?  I think it would be good for it to be here this way 
the people who aren’t using it, they can have us who are using ios9beta test 
things they are having issues on iOsS 8.x to see if they are fixed in iOS 9.

Hi Jean, if you only have Dropbox on a single computer and nothing else, then 
sure, you'll need to go to the web for any folders not syncing. But that's not 
my set-up here. The folders I deselect from my Dropbox client on the computer 
are syncing to my NAS, so I can get at the material without going to the 
website by finding them on my NAS through Finder or Windows Explorer. They are 
also available on the iOS Dropbox client.

In the interest of helping, here's what people are getting at.

Hi. I'm trying to make my mac bridge from wifi to Ethernet, so I can 
connect an Ethernet device to it and give that device internet access. I 
go into blah on the mac and enter ... I've also tried the command line 
and ... Can anybody help?

Yes, the device might be relevant, but guess what? Your housing 
situation and so on and so on and so on isn't, because you want to 
bridge your wifi to your Ethernet port so something connected to that 
port can access the internet. That's it. That's your question. It's 
specific. It's short. You simply don't need the twelve side digressions 
and the and trust me when I tell you that I've sprinkled it with potato 
chips and waved a dead chicken over it thirty times while praying to 
great Cthulhu as prescribed in the seventeenth chapter of the 
Glockenspiel Network Administrator's Guide, but the third edition which 
is correct not the newer fourth edition which quite frankly in my 
opinion is not worth the paper on which it was printed, and there is no 
way I can use a cable because did I mention that my landlord has rules 
and these rules are, and also if I had a different computer in a 
parallel universe this would be easy but since we're in this particular 
state of quantum collapse and not the one in which my former computer is 
still functional or the one where I have a totally different but also 
functional computer that could accomplish this task for me, or ...

In short, nobody cares why you want to bridge, or hwy it's an absolute 
necessity that you do so and do no other thing. You have to bridge, it 
ain't working. Done.

 This list may not be the best forum to get a definitive response
 with regard to a specific network question like this. Instead of
 the condescending attitude, just go to the proper forum and narrow
 your question sufficiently.
  Work on the narrative skills and get down the the issue.
 You are obviously doing something wrong and not considering
 something with regard to the configuration. I've seen similar
 dilemmas but it's been a while and network bridging can be tricky,
 especially with something like an A/v receiver where one may not
 have ultimate control over how it decides to connect. I have more
 experience with these situations with Windows than with the Mac.
 And , of course, it may be that there is no solution.

 I admit I've read this with quite a lack of diligence and really
 have not focused on the specific issue because it seems quite like
 a comedy
  the way it's presented.

 I'm sure there are list subscribers who have the knowledge to
 solve the issue if it indeed can be solved. What I'm getting to is
 your housing/office

You can choose a style such as a heading level by going to the Home tab of the

You can easily assign a keystroke to a style in the keyboard preferences in the 
tools menu.  Just select format in the categories table and then select the 
style you want in the other table.  To apply heading 1, the current shortcut is 
command-option-1.

You can brows the heading levels using the outline view, but note that it is

a heading on level two is to press voiceOver +t, and when you will get the

Thanks for the tip on activating all the style selections. However, I haven’t

keystrokes for Word 2016, but the ones for heading styles don’t work for me. It 
would be nice if I had a keystroke to evoke the various heading styles It would 
make my work more efficient. On another note, have you been able to create an 
envelope or label? Since I’m coming from the PC side, the dialog box for this 
on the Mac side is not as straight forward to me. I struggled for a while 
trying to make a simple mailing label the other night, but was not successful

 because they weren't able to demo voiceover, but I liked the form factor, and 
 thought the stuff I was hearing from the video demo was pretty cool.  Since I

Re: vmware fusion 7 and windows 7 becoming unactive

[Juan Hernandez]

Hello,

Thanks for letting me know this.  That make sense if I am importing the 
bootcamp into a vm disk file.  But I am actually accessing the bootcamp 
partition directly.  I will look into making windows 7 recognize the vm 
environment as the real one.  Thanks for the input,  I really appreciate it.

 I remember something like this happening to me a long time ago. I believe it 
 happens because when you access the windows bootcamp installation via fusion, 
 it is as though you are running windows, and everything in it,  on a new 
 computer. The fusion virtual environment is essentially a simulated piece of 
 hardware and windows thinks it is being run on a different piece of hardware 
 than it was authorized for. The same goes for Jaws, Office, and all other 
 programs that are tied to the hardware for licensing purposes.
 Having said all that, I don’t remember the fix, but I believe there is one. 
 Otherwise you’d have to reauthorize everything for use in  fusion. 
 It might be in the way you access the bootcamp. There is some setting to be 
 checked or unchecked when you import the bootcamp into fusion. I know that 
 when you import a VM file into fusion from another machine, you have to be 
 careful to “move” and not “copy” the vm, otherwise fusion won’t import  the 
 license along with the vm file. and you’ll have to reauthorize everything 
 because when you do a copy, you’re essentially “creating a new copy of 
 windows that requires authorization.
 Something like that may be happening when you import the bootcamp into 
 fusion. In fact, I’d bet on it.
 You may want to try deleting the bootcamp VM, (not bootcamp itself, just the 
 imported VM), and reimport the bootcamp partition and watch for this sort of 
 thing.

Here's a section that will be in the next update's Readme file.

 

###Keyboard Commander

Since most people like to assign some of Talking Dashboard's scripts to 
keystrokes, I have put instructions on how to do this below. The process will 
be similar, but not exactly the same, for other commanders.

 

1. See the previous section to navigate and select the Keyboard Commander tab 
in VoiceOver Utility  Commanders.

2. Once you have selected the proper tab, use vo-right arrow. You will pass the 
rest of the available tabs first, then a checkbox labeled Enable Keyboard 
Commander. Be sure this is checked, and remember that you can toggle this 
commander on or off at any time with vo-shift-k.

3. Continue to the right. You will next encounter a popup menu that lets you 
select which Option key to use. It is set to the right one by default, but you 
may wish to use the left one, or both. Make the desired selection from this 
menu.

4. Once that's done, continue right. The next thing you find will be the 
Keyboard Commander table, which holds all the assignments already set up. 
Find the row in the table whose command you want to change (or assign, if 
you've just made a new entry--see below). Don't interact with the table, then 
use up or down arrow by itself, to read both the key and its assignment at once.

5. To add a new command, vo-right past the table, find the Add button, and 
vo-space. VoiceOver probably won't say anything, but you will be placed in an 
edit field where you can type the character to which you want to assign an 
action. Type it, then vo-right once to the Command Menu button and move to 
Step 8.

6. If you instead wish to change an existing assignment, find its row and 
interact until you are on the edit field containing the current character. 
Delete that character and type a new one. If you want to leave the character in 
place but change what it does, find the row and activate the Command Menu 
Button without changing the character in the edit field. Note that the name of 
this button will reflect the current assignment. Once you are on the popup 
menu, move to Step 8.

7. On the row you want to change, press space. If you have interacted with the 
table, you will need to vo-right past the key and press vo-space on the menu 
button to its right. Basically, don't interact with the table; it's easier.

8. Now that you've opened the popup menu of commands, you have a plethora of 
options. We want to assign a script, but keep in mind how powerful Commanders 
can be. Anyway, we want the very last option in the menu: Custom Commands. 
Find that, hit right arrow, and then choose Run AppleScript Script….

9. Now, you are in a standard Finder dialog that will only show you folders and 
AppleScript files. Browse to wherever you chose to put the Talking Dashboard 
scripts, pick the one you want, and press enter.

10. That's all there is to it. Once you've made all the assignments you want, 
simply close the VoiceOver Utility.

*must* be int the same folder as the scripts).

 

Then, I have the raw information, like the amount of ram or the battery level, 
and I give it back to the script that asked for it. The script then gives all

apple mail issue

Hi All,

 

I have noticed with apple mail, often it doesn't show me the latest emails
right away.  I know that it has to download the headers, but that doesn't
take that long.  I have a friend that just got a mbp13, and I've sent him 4
emails today, but it doesn't show any email until yesterday morning.

 

Is there a way to get  mail to show emails faster?  A command or setting?

bt keyboards and keys being heald down

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi All,

 

I am running latest iOS 8.1.3 on my iPad air 2.

 

I have seen sometimes, that when getting into an edit field, where I can
type, that voice over or the iPad will simulate a key press.  I t will act
as if someone is holding down one of the letters on the Bluetooth keyboard.
I have to kill the app, and voice over sometimes for it to stop.  I can't
seem to find a trend of how to reproduce this error.  I have had this occur
on my apple bt keyboard, an older zagkeys profolio keyboard case, and
latest, on my new clam case pro.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there 

I am having no trouble with the sluggishness people are talking about,
except when waking up the computer VO is a little slow to start talking.
That's not a big deal because once it does, it works fine. Finder, oh happy,
happy, works better than under Mavericks. Under Mavericks, Finder was
starting to drive me crazy because I couldn't type the letters of something
I wanted a lot of times and get the file. I had been using Spotlight to call
up apps, but now I find the dock more convenient; using Spotlight was just
the way I started out on the Mac. Upgrading was worth it to fix Finder for
me. I think Finder was a problem for me under Mavericks because I have so
many files on my computer. 

 

I don't know if this is important, but I had my memory upgraded on my Mac to
8 gigabytes. I have said this before, and I am wondering if those who have
computers with 4 have more problems. When my friend bought her Mac about
three weeks ago, it had 8. I think it may have been worth the $81 I spent to
have my computer's memory upgraded. 

 

Regards, 

Gigi

For me, the only issue is a slight slugishness.  That, I must say, is quite

I personally feel that even this somewhat rough first release of Yosemite is
a good deal better than even the last release of Mavricks.  You will want to
take some time to read the responses of others here because things tend to
be different user to user and there does seem to be some inconsistancy with
some folks finding issues which others report as not happening.

Re: another bug

[Juan Hernandez]

I wonder if there is  a trend behind this bug.  Is your computer older? could 
it have an older bluetooth protocol chipset?

bootcamp and fusion

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi All,

I was running fusion 5 on my macbook pro, and I upgraded to yosemite.  I had to 
upgrade my fusion to version 7.  How can I add my bootcamp to fusion so I can 
access it from with in the mac?

One question I have is the guide on AppleVis, when it said to import my 
bootcamp partition into fusion, did it use the bootcamp partition after? or did 
it create a copy and create a whole new entire virtual machine?

Now that I am using yosemite, and fusion 7, do I only have the ability to 
create a copy? or can fusion use my actual bootcamp partition?

Thanks for any help.

Re: bootcamp and fusion

[Juan Hernandez]

Alright All,

never mind my below questions.


In fusion 7, the process to access the bootcamp volume as a virtual machine has 
changed.

I will try and add a comment note to the current guide on apple vis in the next 
few days.

Re: Where to get VMware fusion version 6?

Maybe because fusion 7 is out they won't have fusion 6? I have a dmg of fusion

 .  If you can't find it let me know.

 Hi guys
 I like Yosemite so far. My Finder is behaving better, etc. However, I had 
 to call that 877 number again, no choice. It seems that FileVault got me in 
 trouble when my battery went dead because yours truly let it go down too 
 far. Then I had trouble, can't remember all the steps, getting VoiceOver to 
 come on. When it did, I did something stupid that made me get into changing 
 the password. Now I have ended up with a slightly changed Apple ID. My 
 sighted husband had to move the mouse at one point because VoiceOver 
 wouldn't let me get into the place to type in the new Apple ID. 
 
 Now I have to let my computer encrypt my files, and then unencrypt them so 
 that I can disable FileVault. I can definitely see a case for having it on 
 here, but I am worried about going through the same difficulties I had this 
 morning should my battery run down again. I'm really more concerned witht 
 eh accessibility difficulties of leaving FileVault active should this 
 happen like this again.

 however, that most of my boundary sounds appear to have gone.  When I go 
 VO left or right through windows to and away from tool bars, and so

 bring them back.  One thing I did notice right away is that the new

 been updated to match the iPhone sounds.  Yeah, for a first release, not 
 too bad.  Now, the new iTunes view?  Wow!  I see what some people are 
 complaining about:  still and all, I poked around enough with it last

fusion and hotkeys

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi All,

I wanted to know if there is  a way to setup fusion so any of the windows 
commands are passed into the vm, not into the host mac computer?  At times I 
switch into full screen, but if I alt+tab, or what ever it’ll flip mac windows. 
 I wish I could have it while i full screen that all commandsgo to fusion.  If 
I hit a certain command it’ll let me come back into the mac host system.

 Dictation is a little more powerful than simply translating the spoken word

 switch apps, quit apps, open documents, select text and more.  Haven't played

 There is a site that gathers bugs, along with other content. 
 In case you are interested go to www.applevis.com

 I agree that it would be great if Apple put out a document or iBook 
 explaining the accessibility and interface changes with each release. In 
 fact, this is something that I have urged them to do in the past, for iOS 
 and OS X.
 
 I don't use iTunes much, so I can't comment on that, but I will say that I 
 have not used the sidebar in that app since it became optional last year, 
 and I have no problems. Spotlight is better, for me at least, than it was 
 in 10.9. Can you provide an example of what you search for that gives you 
 the unlabeled items? I know it might not work on my machine since our two 
 Macs will have very different files on them, but if it is a web search 
 result, I might be able to duplicate the problem. So far, I haven't seen 
 anything not labeled, except the Maps thumbnail when a nearby business is a 
 result.
 
 As to Windows, consider this: when Windows 8 came out as an upgrade to 
 Windows 7, the interface was far, far more radically altered than is that 
 of Yosemite compared to Mavericks. Windows 10 will be out next year, with 
 yet more profound alterations over Windows 8. Microsoft will not release a 
 changes document with an eye toward accessibility either, and since Apple 
 doesn't force Mac users to upgrade, I'm not sure I see the difference here. 
 Yes, Microsoft has much more public betas, so people know what to expect 
 before release day, but the same information comes out within a couple days 
 of a new OS X release. Plus, to my knowledge, there is no site equivalent 
 to AppleVis for Windows, so finding out what changed in accessibility is 
 more difficult.
 
 I'm not saying Apple is perfect, and I'm not saying they don't have worse 
 quality assurance than they have in the past (look at iOS8, or the simple 
 bugs not caught in Yosemite). I'm not saying Windows is a worse operating 
 system objectively, though it is to me personally. What I am saying is that 
 iTunes still does what I need, even if it looks different, and I have no 
 problems with Spotlight. It works even better than it did in Mavericks 
 (specifically, navigation is more reliable and it pulls in far more

 Hello,
 I am extremely disappointed with the lack of attention paid to 
 accessibility in your latest OS10 release.
 You overhauled the look of your software, while not thinking of those of 
 us who have grown to trust you with our accessibility needs.
 I know many visually impaired beta testers, most under NDA with you per 
 each release of both desktop  IOS software.
 I realize we are a minority in the big picture of your customer base. 
 However, if one has paid money to participate in  your testers program  
 is paid lipservice to what is reported, what good are the testers? Has 
 the quality control suffered because the upgrades are now free? 
 Aren't we as a disability community owed a description of what we can 
 expect in terms we understand? It looks pretty, but acts very much like 
 something from a crackerjack box.
 I can't get to my music in Itunes because the views I have become used to 
 have disappeared. There is no more sidebar.
 In spotlight search, which is supposed to search for references outside 
 my Mac, I hear either the words button or image in the search results.
 How is this useful to me or anyone who would try to use it with no vision?
 As I stated earlier, there are those who have been under NDA to attempt 
 to alert you of the issues before release. Those same people had enough 
 respect for their contracts to not divulge issues that may concern the 
 rest of us. However, in return we all got slapped in the face.
 There is a site that gathers bugs, along with other content. 
 In case you are interested go to www.applevis.com 
 http://www.applevis.com/
 As has been shown, I doubt any of this will be taken to heart. 
 I can only hope.
 My next computer, if I need one will be a Windows machine. They are 
 cheaper, maybe a little buggy, yet I know what I am getting.
 Premium prices should reflect premium quality in every sense of the word.

Re: osx 10.10

[Juan Hernandez]

They do pay attention.  In a software system like this there are hundreds of 
thousands of lines of code.  there are at times hundreds to a few thousands of 
bugs in a program like Yosemite.  Things get fixed in level of severity.  Not 
that your problems are not saver, but they do get fixed.  If apple tried to fix 
all bugs on release they would never release any software.  It is just the 
nature of the beast.  When Jaws or Window-eyes get released there are bugs, and 
they sometimes don't get fixed for months, but most people just acknowledge 
that as normal, and go on with their days, and work around the bugs.

 Hi Buddy,
 I can't disagree with your post, however my question to you is this why when 
 there are visually impaired beta testers under NDA specifically to report 
 issues that deal with accessibility does Apple not pay attention to what is 
 being reported to them? If it was something to do with graphics for the way 
 another file was managed that handled iMessage as an example that was broken 
 having nothing to do with us   it will get fixed. However if the same issue 
 happened to us because of our accessibility needs, we would be further down

 See, here's the thing. We *are* being treated like everyone else. Now that we 
 have mainstream access to mainstream products, that also means that our bugs 
 get stuck in the queue with everyone else's bugs. They get prioritized along 
 with everybody else's bugs. And they get fixed in the schedule with everybody 
 else's bugs. The tradeoff we get for out of the box accessibility from a 
 mainstream manufacturer is that we don't get special releases or fixes 
 specific to our needs. We get them on the same schedule as everyone else's 
 bugs. Sometimes we may not like the priority our requests get, but it's the 
 price we pay for getting exactly what we've asked for for years. 
 
 Change is inevitable. iTunes has changed. I'm not a huge fan of the change 
 either, but there it is, and I can still use it, even if I like it less. My 
 like or dislike of it, however, doesn't have any bearing on whether or not 
 it's accessible. Same with Yosemite in general; it's changed. I haven't 
 really had any real problems with it, generally speaking. I mostly like the 
 changes, apart of course for iTunes 12. But I'm definitely not seeing 
 significant accessibility impacts on what I do with OS X from day to day. 
 
 Yep. Early betas were pretty awful. Early betas for iOS8 were also horribly 
 broken. But that's why they're betas. I've told people who have asked me 
 whether iOS8 is worth having, I've told them that I have a pretty skewed view 
 on that, since by comparison to the early betas, it's really good, so I have 
 no significant complaints. Well...I have to say, I've recently had occasion 
 to look at iTunes Radio, and notice that it doesn't really read the way 
 they're supposed to. I expect it will get fixed in due course, but, again, on 
 Apple's schedule, along with everybody else's bugs, in the queue, in its 
 order, in priority with everybody else's bugs. Because seriously, if you 
 think that we're the only ones dealing with bugs, sometimes really 
 inconvenient bugs, you're at best naive, at worst delusional. 
 
 Anyway, yes. We have gotten exactly what we've been asking for. That 
 sometimes means unpleasant side effects. Myself, I'm happy to take the 
 unpleasant side effects as a part of the whole package. Does this make me an 
 Apple apologist? Does this mean that I'm willing to settle for the crumbs 
 from the table, as it were, and am content with my lot as a second-class 
 citizen? far from it. It means I recognize that my problems are a subset of 
 all the problems that Apple is dealing with to make things work, sometimes in 
 the face of pretty significant change. 
 
 Absolutely send notes to the accessibility team. But if you do, be specific. 
 If you can't be specific, don't bother, because no one can fix bugs without 
 specific ways to reproduce them.

switching from mac to windows 7 bootcamp faster?

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi All,

Is there a faster way in the mac to switch back to the windows bootcamp side of 
my computer? right now I go to sys prefs - startup - set the disk to 
bootcamp, and hit rest art.  In windows I can right-click the system trey icon 
for bootcamp and hit reboot into mac os x.  Does anyone know of any ways that I 
can speed up this process?

Best,

I checked you account and for some reason it was set to No Mail. I changed it 
back to the usual All Mail. Hope that fixes it.

RE: Hand off, anyone?

[Juan Hernandez]

Hello there,

 

This is probably really a stupid thought, but didn’t the apple people say on 
Thursday that handoff / continuity would be working on Monday once i-devices 
got iOS 8.1?

 

Also, does handoff/continuity work between macs?  I have a iMac I bought this 
year, and my macbook pro I bought last summer of 2013.

 

Thanks

 

Juan

Hello

Well, just got your message. This is only a possibility, but I wonder if this 
might be related to FaceTime? The reason why I mention this is because when I 
had handoff working on an iPad and iPhone, for some reason, I couldn't receive 
any incoming calls on my iPad. However, on just a hunch, I decided to 
reactivate FaceTime on my iPad. After this, everything worked as expected

Hi there folks,

 

I use to have Hand off working pretty darn nice when I was running the iOS and 
Yosemite betas, but for some reason it is rather lacking at this point.

 

I have hand off enabled on all 3 my devices, an iPhone 5c, iPad Mini with 
retina and my 2012 Mac book pro. I tried turning off Wifi on all 3 units, and 
still no go. I went so far as to sign out of my iCloud Account, again on all 3 
devices, and still no luck for this South African.

 

If anyone has any further ideas, except for chucking any of the above mentioned 
devices threw a wall, please, help.


Warm regards,

Brandt Steenkamp

soundFX

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi all,

When you first setup Mac OS X 10.10, there is no sound for raising/lowering 
sound volume.  under System Prefs, sounds, you can check the box to give you 
tones when changing the volume.

As for the dictation sound, I am not sure, it all seems to work fine for me.  I 
get the siri dictation sound effects.

I am running an 27” iMac from this May, and a 15 macbook pro rent from last 
april 2013.  Both systems are running os x 10.10 exceptionally well.  no lag in 
my samantha compact voice that I prefer.

Best,

Juan

buying new iMac

[Juan Hernandez]

Hi All,

 

I have just subscribed to this list.  I was subscribed to this list way back
in the day, about 8-9 years ago and now I am coming back.

 

I had a question.  I am buying a new iMac in the next few days, and I wanted
to know something about the fusion drives.

 

The fusion drives, is it a flash dssd and a harddisk on one unit?  When in
mac os x, does it recognize the drive as one big drive, or two separate
drives?  

 

How does bootcamp deal with the fusion drives?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Best,

 

Juan
