Need to confirm the number of songs in iTunes library post MusicMatch

2012-03-13 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Guys,
I'm sure  this has been  covered.  But  I have activated Music
Match.  I just went to test how many tunes were in my iTunes library.
My iPhone 4 says there are 2400 or so.  There should be over 3K.  I
know certain tunes couldn't be matched.  I went to my iTunes library
on my computer.  while I can see the number of genres, artists and
albums, I can't get a number of songs.  How does one get that
information in iTunes on the Mac?  I want to be able to confirm the
number of tunes my computer says I have with the number my phone says
I have.  I also know that my available space on my iPhone increased
dramatically post Music Match.  thanks for any help.

Kevin

Re: Need to confirm the number of songs in iTunes library post MusicMatch

2012-03-13 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Henry,
All was as you describe.  thanks.  Now, how do I reconcile the
difference between the number of tunes my iPhone reports and the
number my iTunes library reports?  It turns out i have over 4K in the
library and 2K on the phone.  There's no way I can hit and miss until
I find a tune that isn't on my phone.  what can I do?

Re: Can't open an audio based DAISY book in in daisy worm

2012-03-06 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Guys,
I finally got it working.  While Daisy Worm was a no go for this,
InDaisy seems to work like a champ.  It took a minute to get the file
to open.  This appears to be because I didn't hold my finger down on
the file long enough initially.  Whatever the case, I now have a
perfectly working copy of a music notation reference book on my iPhone
for future use.

thanks for everyone's patience and help.

Can't open an audio based DAISY book in in daisy worm

2012-03-05 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Guys,
Some of you may have been following my troubles on the viPhone list.
I'll summarize here by saying that I finally got the book I have,
which is in DAISY 2.2, into the file sharing section of the apps tab
of iTunes on my Mac.  However, for the life of me, I can't get the
book to open.  I can't get my iPhone to get past extracting book
archive followed by the title of the book.  How do i open the book on
the computer which should transfer it to the iPhone.

Curiously, I've messed up my ability to get into the indaisy server.
trying to get into 10.0.1.5 yields a message that the connection was
refused.  Also curiously, I did manage to get in once because of a
previous connection that I found in a list of previous attempts.
Unfortunately, I closed Fetch without logging out of that session but
having cleared the menu of previous sessions.  So, I guess I'm in that
session but, because I can't remember the name of the server, I can't
get back there, or something.  does anyone know the name of the in
daisy worm server?

In any event, if anyone could help me open this book, I'd really
appreciate it.  I feel like I'm so close I can taste it.  thanks for
everyone's understanding.

Kevin

Re: Finale or music editor for mac?

2012-03-04 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Okay, here are the facts:
1.  No version of Sibelius or finale is accessible for the blind on a
Mac.
2.  The only music notation solutions that generates print notation
using mainstream, commercial off-the-shelf software, involves using
Sibelius 5.25, which may not even be available from Sibelius any
longer, and a special set of JAWS compatible scripts called Sibelius
access. Sibelius access is available from a site in the UK called
www.musicaccess.co,uk.  The site is owned by Dan Rugman.  Rugman  has
said  that he is working on a solution for Sibelius 6. This solution
will involve using jaws and Sibelius However, Sibelius 6 is also
probably  no longer available from Sibelius anymore because Avid, the
parent company that owns Sibelius, along with Pro Tools and M-Audio,
has moved to Sibelius 7.  Don't even think about imagining a blind
friendly pro level solution for Sibelius 7 on the Mac.

Hdeterming DAISY version of a book

2012-03-03 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Guys,
I have a problem. I have a daisy book that was done by the Minnesota
State services for the blind. However, I don't really know how to find
out what version of Daisy the book is done in. Can anyone tell me if
there's a method for finding this out? I want to buy an app for my
iPhone but need to make sure that the app supports the DAISY of this
specific book.

I did download JAWS 12 and discovered that this particular book would
work with that FS reader. However, I need to make sure that it will
work with either in daisy or read to go.  The only thing I know for
certain is that the book is audio only.  The book was delivered on a
cd ROM with a bunch of MP3 files all of which have long numbers
instead of descriptive filenames. There are also .sml files and one
HTML file.    Again, is there any way to look at these files on the
 disk to determine the flavor of Daisy employed?

Need to burn custom CD with different spaces between certain tracks

2011-12-28 Thread Kevin Gibbs
guys,
I need to burn five custom CDs with some music for a grant
application.  I need to put a five second silence between track 1 and
2.  the rest of the spaces need to be the standard two seconds.  I
have iTunes 10.5x. Can iTunes do this?  It may be the case that the
music in my iTunes library is mp3 quality.  I would prefer to insert
the source CD and rip the tunes I want to a folder on my HD and then
put in a CD-R and burn the selected tunes from the folder I just
created with the variable spaces I mentioned above.  If iTunes can't
do this, can you recommend a program that can?  I don't want to pay a
studio for such a routine task.

Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Need to burn custom CD with different spaces between certain tracks

2011-12-28 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Okay, the good news is I found Simply burns.  the bad news is that I
don't really understand how to apply the pre-gap feature to get the
five second interval I need.

to begin, I thought that in order to affect the spacing between songs
1 and 2 you would alter the pre-gap on song 1.  when I set that to
five seconds and left the remaining ones at 2 seconds, I got really
long gaps for all the songs.  When I set all the pre-gaps to none, I
got what sounds to me like a gap of four seconds between all the
songs.  Now, for all these, I didn't change the default pre-gap from
its original setting of 2 seconds.  Should I have set that default to
none and then added a pre-gap of five seconds two song 1 to set the
gap between it and the second song.  After that, should i have placed
a pre-gap of 2 seconds for songs 2, 3 and 4 in the CD?  Remember that
the idea is to have a gap of 5 seconds between songs 1 and 2 and a 2
second gap between songs 23, 34, and so on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kevin

Re: Need to burn custom CD with different spaces between certain tracks

Ray,
the gap in the preferences is for the default for all files in a
project.  The individual ones appear to be in the project window.
that's what I've been messing with.  My last experiment was to cut the
default in the prefs and all the defaults in tracks to 0.  I'm still
not quite happy with my results.

If anyone else uses this or any other program, please chime in.

Re: Need to burn custom CD with different spaces between certain tracks

2011-12-28 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Ray,
I guess I'm really confused. If I'm supposed to adjust the default gap
in the preferences for every track, then what are those gaps in the
project window for?  What should they be set for? It was really
difficult to set the value for the gaps in the project window
immediately to the right of the word, interpret.. I had both the
values in the project window and the preference window set and none
that should have given me a thing where all the tunes faded one to the
next to the next. But it didn't.

Daisy Reader under Lion

I promise I have looked in the archives but can't find the answer.

Re: Help! Lost iTunes Match

2011-11-24 Thread Kevin Gibbs
i don't know if this is the same thing.  I think I have two iTunes
accounts, each with its own ID.  I have some items which were
purchased with one account and one with another.  the interesting
thing is that I tried to use account 2  as my iTunes match account but
couldn't get the PW to work on my mac.  so, i used the ID for account
1.  Unfortunately, iTunes match on my iPhone expects account 2.  I've
transferred 3,000 plus tunes to the cloud using account 1 It's
possible that if I buy a song on my Mac with account 1, it may
transfer without a physical sync to my iPhone.  However, if I buy a
tune from the iTunes store using account 2, it probably won't transfer
to my Mac without a physical sync.  I really don't want to pay for
iTunes match twice.  I guess I'll call Apple Care tomorrow.  but if
anyone knows how I might fix this, I'd appreciate an answer.
thanks,

Disabling reopening last visited file on app specific basis in Lion?

is it possible to disable the feature that opens the last file you
were working on in a specific application in Lion?  Let's say you were

facility is desirable in Safari at times, I wonder if it's something
you can selectively disable from one app to the next.

Re: using Classic view in Mail in Lion but....

Dear Anne,
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I've been using the new
version of lion nail and expanding individual conversations as needed.
That took a minute to learn but I seem to be comfortable now. I'll go
back to trying your idea just to see if I can make it work. Thanks
again for all your help. 
Best,
Kevin

using Classic view in Mail in Lion but....

2011-10-16 Thread Kevin Gibbs
guys,
sorry to bother you with something that I'm sure I've seen  before.  I
downloaded and installed Lion successfully.  However, i have a slight
problem with Mail.  I've chosen Classic View because i couldn't quite
get my head around the new format.  I thought I would prefer having my
conversations threaded.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to read them
easily enough that way.  so, I unchecked the group by conversation
option and discovered one other small problem.  In Snow Leopard, I
used to hit ENTER on a message and I would land immediately on the
message content.  In Lion, even in Classic View, it seems that I land
on the message headers and have to VO right arrow to get to the
message content.  what is causing this and what can I do to prevent
it?  I promise I'll read the mail chapter ASAP to learn about the
favorites bar, and the new mail method so I can make a more informed
decision later.
Thanks,
Kevin

Re: using Classic view in Mail in Lion but....

2011-10-16 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Dear Anne,
I wrote you privately to mention that I would try looking at the
keyboard focus item setting in navigation as soon as i could.  it
turns out that this setting was chosen as you had suggested.  However,
it didn't solve my problem.  I tried both settings and the result was
identical.  when I opened the message and interacted, I would hear the
headers.  However, if i pressed VO right arrow immediately upon
opening the message, the body of the message would read.  so, I guess
I can simply substitute VO right arrow for VO A to read an entire
message.  I still think this is not working correctly.  but the work
around is working for me now.  If you have any other thoughts as to
why this should be happening in mail classic view under Lion 10.72,
please let me know.
Best,
Kevin.

Downloading Lion and....

2011-10-15 Thread Kevin Gibbs
I'm downloading Lion for the first time.  The process took some doing
because this was my first purchase on this Mac from the app store.  I
think I eventually did get Lion to start downloading.  However, I
can't find a progress bar and I don't see the Downloads folder's i'm
used to when downloading other things.  So, I don't even know where to
look for the Lion package.  Any help?  I realize this is a very long
download.  But I'd like to keep track of progress and find the
installer in the end.

Thanks,
Kevin

List of mail recipients in Snow Leopard?

2011-09-18 Thread Kevin Gibbs
when I choose a recipient in Mail in SL, I see a series of possible
recipients that narrows as I fill in the name.  I have enough vision
to see the list of names to choose from once I begin to type.  What I
want to do is scroll down the list to find the person I want instead
of having to type the full name and possibly get it wrong.  However, I
can't seem to get VO to scroll through the list I'm seeing with my
eyes.  Interacting doesn't seem to work.

Voiceover stops for no reason

2011-08-20 Thread Kevin Gibbs
guys,
I'm having a real problem.  I'm using Snow Leopard and VO.  for some
reason, Voiceover will simply stop speaking for no reason at no
reliable time.  turning Voiceover off and back on doesn't do the
trick.  I have enough vision to see the caption panel, which I have
concealed until now.  I'm going to leave it on the screen so I can see
whether Voiceover is on or off the next time one of these failures
occurs.  The only solution seems to be to restart the computer.
that's not acceptable. All my software is up to date on Snow
Leopard.  I have not installed Lion.

Unfortunately, I did apparently install the latest versions of Safari
and iTunes which I didn't intend to do when I installed the latest
version of Snow Leopard.  I have no reason to think that did
anything.  I just don't have a clue.  I even called Apple Care and, of
course, the problem wouldn't happen while I was on the phone.

Any ideas?
Kevin

having a one hour meeting with a film director and then having to
remember all that was said about this or that scene, shot or musical
cue.  Not a fun prospect.  I promise you.  So, how does one decide on
an audio format and how does one export the resultant file?

How to copy mp3s from iTunes to thumb drive?

I tried to search the group but no joy.  I have some mp3s in my iTunes

I was able to copy one file by physically dragging and dropping it
with the limited vision I have.  Clearly, that's no way to live.  It
seems that while I can copy a file in iTunes, I can't paste it when
i've command tabbed to the appropriate finder window for the thumb
drive.  Paste is grayed out in that finder window.  I doubt drag and
drop in Snow Leopard will work.  What can I do?

the subject says it all.  My wife, who is sighted, is trying to create

documents in Pages, some with headers and some without for eventual

possible to turn headers on and off for individual pages instead of
treating headers as an all or nothing global thing?  We have iWork

Spotify not accessible on Snow Leopard

2011-07-26 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Guys,
I just downloaded Spotify and installed it.  the application is
completely inaccessible with VO on Mac under Snow Leopard.  I can use
it with the limited vision I have by moving the mouse literally by
hand.  but that's not the worst of it.  I was really freaked when i
looked myself up on the service and encountered tunes that I hadn't
released yet.  I guess Spotify doesn't' distinguish between tunes they
have on the cloud and tunes you have on your disk.  I was trying to
find out what tunes of mine were already on Spotify for streaming by
the public.  How does one distinguish the publicly available stuff
from the stuff you own, yourself?  If any of you are using Spotify,
particularly those of you in Britain who may have some experience with
it, I'd love to know the answers to these questions.
thanks,
Kevin

Re: [Bulk] Re: Will It Be Easy To Install Lion?

2011-07-08 Thread Kevin Gibbs
I do have a few questions:
1.  I've lost my Snowleopard disks.  Is that a problem regarding Lion?
2.  Where do I get Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloaner?
3.  I also can't find my iWork discs.  Is that a possible problem.
I'd rather not make a dual boot situation.

Re: Accessible MIDI sequencing

2011-06-30 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Right now, only pro tools is accessible using voice over. However, the
midi event ListView in pro tools is not yet accessible I am told.
There are many applications for the iPad which may demonstrate some
promise for users as a bridge until things like logic become
accessible using voice over.

Re: Accessible MIDI Sequencing

2011-06-28 Thread Kevin Gibbs
As far as i know, Pro Tools is your best shot.  Unfortunately, while I
haven't tested it yet, I understand that the equivelant of the event
list in Sonar is not accessible in Pro Tools.  Try it with VO at your
local music store like guitar Center and let us know how you get on.
There are some podcasts on using Pro Tools as a blind person.  I can't
tell you where those are but they have been referenced here.
HTH,
Kevin

Deleting Google search history?

2011-06-17 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Is it possible to delete your Google search history, not to be
confused with clearing your search history in Safari?  Can you turn
search history off so it isn't preserved at all?
Thanks,

Re: Growl Skype Status Messages.

2011-06-14 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Just my opinion. However, I think you'll do best with notifications by
not using growl and just using the options that come within Skype
preferences. I worked like crazy to get growl to work and it was only
after I disable that that I got the results I wanted.

Static text and Magic Trackpad

2011-06-08 Thread Kevin Gibbs
Guys,
I know I asked this once before without a response. I'm fond of
reading Huffington Post and other sites on my mac.  Unfortunately,
whereas in JAWS I could easily cut to the first block of text in a
webpage by simply pressing N, I can't seem to cut quickly to the
body of an article using Safari under VO.  Is there something I'm
missing?  I've used the VO command N command to try and find the first
bunch of plain text.  But this doesn't seem to work real well.  A
friend of mine said I could add Static Text to the web roter.  but I
don't see that as an option in VO Utility.  Can anyone advise me as to
how to cut to the meet of a newspaper article on just about any site
on the web?

Re: A growl tip

2011-05-31 Thread Kevin Gibbs
First, I would like to thank everyone who worked so hard to help me
figure out the problem I was having with having people's names spoken
as they came and went from Skype.  while an announcement can be
interupted  by Alex if he's reading anything else, I did hear enough
of two different people coming and going to be satisfied that
everything is working properly.  While I'm not precisely sure what I
did to fix the problem, I think it had to do with disabling visual
notifications.  I have also turned Growl off.  In any event, thanks
again and it's all working well.

Re: A growl tip

2011-05-29 Thread Kevin Gibbs
For everyone's information, Colin and I just had a long Skype chat
during which we tried absolutely everything we can think of.  However,
All I ever get when a Skype contact comes on or off line is that
someone came on or offline.  In no case is the name ever spoken.  I
have to go through the online contact list to determine what's
different.  I'm not really interested in uninstalling and reinstalling
Skype.  so, if I'm S O L, I'll just have to accept that.  However, if
any of you brave souls out there  have any further thoughts, I'd be
grateful for any suggestions.
Best,
Kevin
