Re: Mail and trash
I have been experiencing similar problems lately. When I try to delete a message from my inbox and send it to trash, I get a message that the task cannot be performed because the file already exists. I have found that a copy of the message has indeed been sent to the trash, but the message is also retained in my inbox. However, this is not always the case, and sometimes the send to trash command works perfectly. When I find myself in the situation that the message will not delete from my inbox, I simply hold down the command key and press the x key while on the message. At least this method prevents a build up of unwanted mail in my inbox. Hope this helps.

It says they don't allow things to be moved into them. Rebuild isn't doing much, and use this mailbox for is all dimmed. Guess I may need to take this up with tech support. Thanks anyhow for trying.grin Carolyn - Original Message - From: Sarah Alawami To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 3:12 PM Subject: Re: Mail and trash actually the command is command shift del to clear the trash. command k does nothing for me.

Select it in your mailboxes table, go to the mailboxes menu, and select rebuild. THis may possibly help. On May 17, 2010, at 2:24 PM, Carolyn wrote: Hi: I'm unable to delete emails.

Fusion/boot camp thread
I have been following the fusion verses Boot Camp thread to running Windows on a Mac. There are obviously positive and negatives which either path one tends to go down. As I am going to install Windows 7 on my Mac perhaps someone could clarify the following few points. Am I to believe that using the Boot Camp method to install Windows one needs sighted assistance . And once installed, can a visually impaired person Boot into Windows without sighted help. I know that if going down the Fusion path, all sighted help can be gotten rid of and total independence achieved. Many thanks for any thoughts.

originator of the my mac mini thread
Well, my email about the Mac mini would seem to have stirred up a lot of passions. The Mac mini I purchased was far from the basic model. And, I did buy in the belief that it would run without a monitor. I don't profess to know a great deal about software engineering. However, I would think that the wiz kids at Apple could incorporate a setting within Voiceover to enable or disable the need to attach a monitor. Just my thoughts, as most blind people have little or no need for it in the first place. Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

My Mac Mini
Several months ago I bought a Mac Mini without a monitor. Everything went well until I tried to use Safari to browse the web. To say the least, it was painfully slow, and at times refused to open the web page at all. All I got was Safari busy. However, when I attached a monitor, all the above problems went away. Even though I do not have the monitor powered up, it still works perfectly. So, just a warning to anyone buying a Mac Mini who intends to browse the web, forget it unless you have a monitor attached.

Problem at start up
Some weeks ago I downloaded the upgrade for Digital Camera from version 3.0 to 3.1. Now when I turn on my Mac I get the message, Voiceover output requests a zip archive folder, or words to that effect. Has anyone else had that problem.

Downloading MP3, thank you
Thank all those who responded to my query about downloading MP3 files. However, none of the suggestions have worked. I have tried holding down the shift/control/option keys while pressing the letter M. This does bring up a menu, but within that menu there is nothing about saving target or anything similar. I have also held down the option key and pressed enter while on the link for the file I want to download. This merely downloads a html document relating to the archive page of the Blind Cool Tec site. Any further suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Re: Downloading MP3, thank you
Brilliant! That has solved my problem. As you rightly point out, one must first interact with the link using vo shift plus down arrow. Then using vo shift M brings up the context menu in which the option to download the target is located. You have no doubt saved me a heart attack or at least pulling out all my remaining hair by your excellent suggestion. I have been trying to solve this problem for several weeks, and would like to thank all, but in particular you, for helping me find a resolution. All the best from a very wet and cold Ireland. - Original Message - From: Esther To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 12:14 PM Subject: Re: Downloading MP3, thank you Hello Martin, There are actually two issues you are experiencing in downloading MP3 files, and one is specific to the design of the Blind Cool Tech web pages: you first have to interact (VO+Shift+Down Arrow) with the link entry before you can use either of the suggestions that were made (e.g. bring up the context menu with VO+Shift+M and find the option to download the linked item or to save it as a file, or use the keyboard shortcut of Option+Enter to force downloading of the file). I usually access the Blind Cool Tech RSS feed at: http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml instead of using the main web page for this reason, and also because the feed page is much faster to load as well as not having the links embedded in elements so that you first have to interact to access them. However, only the 40 latest episodes are listed on the feed site, so you may need to go to the main BCT site for earlier episodes. You can also subscribe to the Blind Cool Tech podcasts in iTunes by navigating to the Advanced menu on the iTunes menu bar (VO+Shift+M then press A), arrowing down to Subscribe to Podcast…, pressing Enter, and then typing or pasting in the feed address into the dialogue window that comes up, and press (VO-Space) the OK button. The podcasts will show up in iTunes under the Podcasts playlists. You'll need to select this in the sources table of iTunes (after interacting), then navigate to the Songs table, interact, and expand the list of podcasts with VO-Shift-Backslash. Then you can start any episode playing by pressing enter on the highlighted episode and pressing the space bar to pause/resume play. HTH. Subscribing to a podcast is not usually so involved; they still haven't fixed the bug in the Blind Cool Tech episodes listed at the iTunes feed that cropped up a couple of years ago. You might just be able to use the Subscribe button at the iTunes Store, but the way I've outlined will work for sure.

You can always use VO-command-f5 to bring the mouse focus to that link, hold control and then click the physical mouse. That will bring up the context menu.

Downloading MP3 files
Hello everyone. I am new to the Mac. I have been trying to download an MP3 file from Blind Cool Tec. However, unlike windows, I am not given the option to open or download. The file just begins to play. I have looked at all the menu options, and there would not seem to be one for saving the file to my hard drive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
