how do I suspend the group for a while
Hi all. I am in the midst of a complicated move, and am finding that alll I have time to do for the most part is delete group email. I do not wish to unsubscribe, and went to the web page to look for a suspend option but did not find one. Can anyone assist?

Re: Apple TV questions
Is there any way to mute the Apple TV while playing music? It is very annoying to have it announced every song.

Re: A little spellcheck before pressing send please?
Oh boy I agree 100%. I find it shocking how sloppily some messages appear; since most lists I'm on are blindness-related, I have no idea whether we as a group are more careless than others in general, but sometimes I think I know why we have such a high unemployment rate, smile! While nobody is perfect, and I head that list of imperfect people, I do believe some of us tend to not care about the appearance of that which we write; and, this is harmful to all of us since all our great words of wisdom live on in the various lanes of the super highway called the internet.

Re: LookTel Recognizer
Yes. Because it will associate the picture with the recording. So if you take a picture and it's a pink shirt, and the recording says pink shirt you will know that. It won't know the difference between the pink shirt and a black shirt. I am quite sure this is true, though I have not fully tested that aspect.

Re: Help getting started with Amadeus
This is really helpful! I will be playing with Amadeus this weekend. Thanks so much. Marlaina Reach within you, find the beauty of you, then share your light with the world! Marlaina Lieberg 1guide...@gmail.com On Feb 8, 2012, at 6:38 AM, Paul Erkens wrote: Marlena, To add to Jurgen. Load up a file: hit command o in amadeus and browse as usual. 2. To save a file, it's in the file menu where you expect it. Just like in a text editor you can choose the file type, so you can also save directly into mp3, into wav, aac or whatever you want. 3. There is one concept to be very aware of. Amadeus has what is called the play head, and it has a separate editing cursor, called the insertion point. I wish there were a way to bind them together, but often when editing, I sometimes still forget that the playhead is not where the insertion point is. In general, the play head is at the spot you are listening to, moving along as playtime goes by. The insertion point stays where it is, and you have to manually pull it towards the play head with command y. The play head is something you might remember from old reel to reel recorders. It's a metal solid object, that plays audio as the tape is pulled past it. Once playing, you can stop with the space bar. Space again to resume. Turn quicknav off and left and right arrows will skip back a few seconds, or forward. Once stopped, or while playing, hit p to drop a marker at the play head. Play on by hitting space, and fast forward with right arrow till you have your next spot where you want another marker, optionally pause playback and hit p to drop another marker. You can view how many markers you have set, and also where in time they are, by looking in the window menu. You'll find a marker menu option there, that displays a window where you have this marker and time info. To clear all markers, first hit command a before using the delete all markers command, or else they won't be deleted. I found that out the hard way and had to ask on the hairersoft forum on their site. And a last thing. Once you have a file open, and you notice that space for play and pause no longer works, then the scroll area that the amadeus focus should be on is no longer in focus. This happens if you voiceover away from that scroll area, while exploring other parts of the screen. If space doesn't do its thing anymore, or the arrows to skim through the audio, then move back to the scroll area, and then perform a mouse click there. Do that like this: first route the mouse to where the voiceover cursor is. The voiceover cursor should be on the scroll area in the amadeus window. Hit command vo f5 to route the mouse to the voiceover cursor. Now perform a mouse click, by hitting shift vo space. Focus is then restored to the scroll area, and now space etc will work again. Hope this helps you some, to get you going. On Feb 7, 2012, at 11:16 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: After all the good things I've read, I have downloaded the trial of the light version.

Re: Help getting started with Amadeus
Robert, What is the cost of sound studio? Reach within you, find the beauty of you, then share your light with the world!

Does the program have mark in and mark out or how does it work? Yes, you can enter marks and then select the area between the marks to edit. You can use the shift and arrow keys to extend or reduce the selected material. Keystrokes are quite similar to Sound Forge in the windows environment. 2. Are you able to hear a cut preview? Yes, pressing the spacebar when material is selected will play the selection. 3. Does it have a scrubb mode, forward and backward? Yes while the file is playing the numbers 1 and 2 will scrub backward and forward respectively. 4. How to navigate in a sound? Not sure what you are asking. 5. Are you able to listen where your cursor is or can you just see it on the screen? This is very important to cut precisely where you want. When you place a mark the mark is placed where you are listening. The downside is that if you stop the file playing and do not put in a mark, playback will resume at the last mark or at the top of the file. This takes a little getting use to but I have edited dozens of podcast with Sound Studio and find it very easy to work with.

Re: Amadeus for Marlaina
Alison, Thank you so very much! I will play with this for sure. I so appreciate your detailed response, and will be in touch. Reach within you, find the beauty of you, then share your light with the world! Marlaina Lieberg 1guide...@gmail.com On Feb 8, 2012, at 4:00 AM, Allison Manzino wrote: Hi Marlaina, I love Amadeus and use it exclusively for all my recording needs. It's not as professional as Pro Tools, but it works well for my needs. I basically just record acoustic instruments and then track vocals, harmonies etc on top. There are others on this list that are much more expierenced than I at using this wonderful program, but I will give you the commands I use the most. To configure Amadeus to use markers, you have to go in the preferences and general by pressing command comma. Then do the following in playback behavior set if selection is empty play from insertion point, If selection is not empty play selection, The most important one is this one which is display follows playback this box has to be unchecked. If you don't configure Amadeus like this, you will have great difficulty in dropping markers. I learned this from Eric Caron's podcast on Blind Cool tech. Here are the commands I use most frequently. to drop a marker is P as in Paul to jump between next and previous markers is option right and left arrow. Right arrow with option for next and left with option for prevous. You can also use option left arrow to go to the beginning of a sound. You can also interact with a track by pressing VO shift down arriow and explore the settings there like volume, name the track and paning. To delete a marker just hit delete once you have reached that marker. I know there are more commands that I'm not even thinking of right now. Oh, to record a track command N for new sound. Then press command R and you will see the recording dialog. You can also paste things you have recorded to different tracks, there is a paste special command which I believe is command option V as in Victor. If you would like more assistance, you are more than welcome to write me offlist. I can do a custom podcast for you. I hope this helps get you started. Have a great day.

For me, it was the money. I bought the Mini for $695 or so where the macbooks are well over $1,000 so I went the cheapest route possible for now. I just got into the Mac world about 3 weeks ago so maybe in the future with more money, I would expand the mac collection to include a powerful macbook pro or something.

New Starbucks mobile app completely inaccessible
Hello folks. I hope that if you who have iPhones find the new Starbucks mobile card app as inaccessible as I, you will raise merry ned with Starbucks. The first iteration was very easy to use. This one, which supplants the first on February 21, is totally useless with VO.

Actually, I hit send too quickly, :) I do not use this while checking out, because it still holds up the line while people behind me wait for me to recognize each bill. I do, however, step out of line whenever possible and check the bills before I leave the store. I find the speed improved some with the 4S, though the speed is not as fast as with the Mac.

I've had my mac since may, and although I've recently become far more fond of Itunes than my bank account is comfortable with, I just don't use it for daily tasks. I just can't get comfortable with any of the word processing options, and since I've been using a PC for close to 25 years, I'm always going to be more comfortable on a windows platform. One of my favorite activities, especially while I'm unemployed, is playing games, and while I'm thrilled that the RS games client works on the mac, there aren't any other options. I'm still hoping for a truly accessible mud client; if atlantis is accessible, I sure haven't figured out how to make it speak automatically. My other major task is writing/editing a story I've been working on for several years now. I just can't get comfortable working on my files using the mac, so just keep using good old wordpad on the PC. Since it cost me so much money, I have chosen to use the mac for things that either don't work or I don't want to mess with on my PC: adium, skype, itunes, and a couple of other similar things that I can't remember at the moment. I figure that the mac is a lot easier to fix if something goes wrong, and that's definitely something I'll give Apple credit for; you can install the operating system without any sighted assistance, and with carbon copy cloner and time machine, it's easy to restore your machine on the off chance that something catastrophic happens. Another thing that I really love about the mac is Growl. It essensially reads things that happen in the system tray: changes in dropbox files for example. That's 1 thing my PC can't do, or if it can, I don't know how to set it up, so the mac is really awesome in that respect. With all that being said, however, while I certainly like my mac a lot more than I did when I first bought it, to be perfectly honest, there's still a rather big part of me that regrets the purchase. I eventually hope to get bootcamp and/or VM fusion up and running, but so far, that just hasn't happened. I hope this makes at least a little sense and that it helps you in your decision.

We are cataloging apps and their accessibility, workarounds for common problems ...why can't we do this for real-life non-digital problems? A lot of visually impaired people don't have the luxury of specialized training programs to be able to live independently. Others might not want to, but miss the resources they need to learn on their own. Why not create a website like Applevis, but with tasks and how to complete them? Like cleaning, making coffee, cooking, sorting laundry, picking out clothes? I think together we can build a resource that will be invaluable to a large number of people. I will set up the website, do all the technical stuff. But I will need a community behind me. I will need people to submit content. I will need people to make the site grow and reach it's full potential. Who's with me?

Re: iTunes question re external file server
Ok. Here's the deal. I use an MBP and a Mac Air. My husband uses his own MBP and iPad. We have all our music stored on a netgeer external server. I know it would be easiest if I had it all in one place and I thought that would happen once I signed up for iTunes Match, but that has served to put only 300 songs on my iPhone which I didn't want it to do, but my library has more than 3,000 songs so even if I did want them on my iPhone, I still have only a tenth of them.

If it can't find the NAS it has to go somewhere to get its track list and generally users will want iTunes to keep setting that work rather than ones which fail. So opening iTunes without the NAS will fail and iTunes will 'fix' it for you by going back to your local drive. That said, you could make an alias to the NAS in a more convenient location. That way it wouldn't be as much work to point back to the network drive once it's mounted again. I'm sure somebody has probably written an Applescript for this situation. That said, there are others who have the same issue and figured out some hackery to work around it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2672590?start=0tstart=0 I haven't tested this since I don't have my music on a NAS but they are saying to make the /Users/your_name/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music an alias to the NAS so when iTunes defaults back it still goes to the right place and just fails like you want when the NAS is not there.

Getting files into the cloud
Hello all. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get files into the cloud and onto other devices? I heard that if I use pages, files will go there but I don't know if it is necessary to save them somewhere like on my iDisk, or in another folder. Thanks.

Re: Using control right and left arrows under fusion and windows 7
Kawal, I tried that and it did not work. I got to the from and to table, I checked first option then right arrow and in the to table, I checked control then right arrow. I did the same for the left arrow; then I closed all that out and when I went back into windows, my control left and right still did nothing.

Re: Using control right and left arrows under fusion and windows 7
I am using version 4.1.1-536016. I so want to get this to work! g On Dec 31, 2011, at 1:57 PM, Sean Murphy wrote: Hi, What version of Fusion? Since I do not have this problem. I am using Lion and Fusion 3.1x. My configuration is that I make the VM guess OS window a full screen by pressing control + option + enter. Then the control arrows plus the normal arrows work fine. In fact, I do not recall if having the guess window in normal window size has an issue either. In preferences you can swap around the keys. You can tell Fusion to disregard all MAC shortcut keys which I have done. I have even swapped the option and command keys around to make it feel more like windows. I have used the windows remapping program that everyone has previously mention. This app I only remapped one key for the Insert. Otherwise I haven't done anything else. You can force the external keyboards to have full control within the guess OS. The external keyboard is then regarded as a windows keyboard and isn't seen by Lion.

Re: siri proxy server
Ok, this is great, but how does one get started? I know nothing about installing the proxy server and don't even know where to get it. What kinds of things will siri control?

I'll kstart with installing the proxy as soon as i get home from holidays, but i just have one problem: -If i changed address resolution for siri queries to my proxy, all other traffic would be routed to my home network which i definetely don't want, and obviously i wish to use siri outside of my home network.

my mac converts mp3 to aiff automatically
Hi all. I receive CD's with .mp3 files on them. I copied them to my Mac with the intent of putting them on either my stream or book port. When I did this, they all became aiff files.

Yes and no. 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.

However, I'll just mention that this portion of the MobileMe web interface works fine -- just use VO-Space (the generic shortcut to perform the default action) on any of the items to select them. Another recommendation: when you log into MobileMe, add the section of the site that you want to go to after the main address. For example, type: http://www.me.com/account in the URL if you want to access your account or password settings, type: http://www.me.com/find to log in for Find my iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, and similarly for mail, calendar, etc. The generic login runs a javascript to let you choose which part of MobileMe you want to go to, and I find that it's just much faster and less of a load on Safari if you tell it right away where you want to go by putting it at the end of the address string. Then, when you enter your password, you're automatically at the correct location. They've actually recently been making some improvements to the interface. HTH.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with the mobile me web interface? The biggest problem I'm having is that none of the clickable elements activate if I use VO to activate them either with pressing them or using mouse commands to click them. This is extremely crippling as I can't even change my password. Thanks for any feedback. Matthew Campbell.

skype 5 and vo
I have recently installed skype v5 release. I am a bit confused by the interface it presents. I know how to make a call to a contact, but wonder if there are shortcuts available to get to the dial pad, how to manage and see events like friend requests, general shortcuts to navigate the interface, etc. Why do I see something called html content, and once I get out of my source list, how do I get back to it? How do I navigate what seems to be my history, where it shows things like today, this week, etc. As I say, I am able to call a contact an with a ton of key presses, navigate to the dial pad to make a phone call. Beyond that, this interface confuses me. Thanks for any halp possible. Marlaina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

a drop box file question
I read that if I put a file in my public drop box folder, I should be able to right click it and generate a link for emailing to others to give them access to that file. I tried doing this and to right click, did a vo shift m when focus is on the file. It only brings up the finder menu and doesn't generate a link to the file.

This will bring up the standard finder context menu. However there should be an additional submenu for dropbox. From there you should find the option to get the download link for said file. It will copy the link to your clipboard. It is possible that the dropbox submenu might only be available once the file has finished uploading to dropbox. I've never tried to access that submenu until after the upload was finished. Unfortunately the only way I've found to reliably tell if the file is finished uploading is to keep an eye on the network traffic section of activity monitor. Of course this only works if you're not doing much other network activity at the time. HTH.

Re: Transferring files from BrailleNote Apex to Mac
You can also convert them to .doc files, save them to an sd or usb drive, then just plug that into your mac and there you go. On Feb 20, 2011, at 8:15 AM, Michael Busboom wrote: Hello.

Re: few starting questions
Antonio, what a nicely formatted educational response. One thing I would add is do not expand the folder into which you want to paste files. I remember when I first started at all this and I am by no means an expert now, but it took me so long to remember that because it's different from windows. Marlaina On Feb 8, 2011, at 1:08 PM, Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr. wrote: Hello Mohamed, I am also pretty much a beginner with the mac, even after owning mine for 5 months. Here are a couple of things I've learned which may be of some help: First off, when in finder you can view the contents of your computer with Command-Shift-C. View applications with control-shift-A. View documents with Control-Shift-o. View home with Control-Shift-H. This is all available from the go menu in finder. To expand a folder you'd press Command-down arrow. To collapse a folder press Command-up arrow. I just now realized you can also expand and collapse folders with the right and left arrow keys as you did in Windows, and prefer this method. Once you find a file you wish to open, use command o to open it. Here is how you can use folder naviagation commands to find your ring tones folder for iTunes: 1. Press Command-Shift-C for computer. 2. Down arrow till you hear users and press right arrow. 3. Download to your computer user name, and expand with right arrow. I am not sure how your specific folder name will display in this step, but for me it is my first and last name. 4. Down arrow to music and again expand this folder. 5. Now down to your specific iTunes library name folder and expand. I named mine Antonio's Library, so this is the folder name for me. 6. Down arrow to iTunes media, then expand the folder. 7. Download and expand the ring tones folder. It is necessary to expand the folder to reveal the files contained here. Pressing tab to view files will not work as it does in windows. The folder may be empty if you have no added ring tones since purchasing your phone. If you have ring tone-ready files, you would paste them into this folder we just navigated to. Creating ring tones is another animal altogether, but just know that ring tones should be in the correct format, .m4r. It will be handy to know you can bring up a context menu of sorts when you press Control-Option-Shift-m. This works well when you want to know what you can do with a file, skype contact, and so on. I hope this is helpful and accurate coming from a newbe.
