Re: Adium And Events
Hi I am not sure I am understanding you correctly, but I managed to have a different system default voice in Lion. I have Fiona as my system voice, and I used to have Tessa as an activity voice for adium. Now I still have Fiona, but switched back to Alex for VO.

Re: Why use a TrackPad?
Hi, How is the track pad useful on the web? Does it let you read smaller chunks of text? I find that sometimes voice over reads chunks that are too big, especially if I want to read by line. I hate to ask it this way, because I don't wanto to compare voice over to anything else, but would the track pad navigation provide anything similar to a Jaws cursor? *don't kill me, I'm still new) Thanks, Naama On 26 Jul 2011, at 01:09, Dan wrote: Hello, I have a trackpad for my iMac and I also have an iPod Touch 4th generation. The biggest difference between the multi gesture trackpad and the touch screen on an iOS device is that all functions are done directly on the screen of the iOS device, except where the home button is used. On the Mac, the track pad is used in conjunction with the booster keys on the keyboard, Shift, Control, Option and such. While I do use my trackpad, mostly I use the full keyboard. The trackpad is really useful while on web pages, for example. You cannot use the trackpad to do actual virtual keyboard entry, as you do on the iOS devices. While I have an Apple Bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPod Touch, I usually use the touch screen instead. I only use the keyboard when I'm going to be dewing lots of typing on the Touch. Hope this gives a little more insight.

I know some of you have varius macbook models where a trackpad comes as standard, but we have an iMac and want to know if a trackpad is something we should consider purchasing.

Re: Why use a TrackPad?
I can tell you that numpad commandor is truly wonderful, and I am so glad I invested in a full keyboard. I know it's not that practical for mac book users so much, but if you're going to have an external device, you may want to consider it. Thanks, Naama On 26 Jul 2011, at 10:12, Missy Hoppe wrote: Agreed! I'd be so happy if my macbook pro had a numpad. When I was first considering a macbook purchase, I was originally planning to get a 17 inch model. Thank God I went to an apple store first and saw that the keyboard on the 13 inch and 17 inch models was essentially identical: no numpad. I wouldn't mind slightly smaller keys if they could give us a numpad, or at least the six-pack that is on PC keyboards: insert, delete, home, end, pageup and pagedown. I did buy a separate numpad, which is supposedly Apple brand, but it doesn't seem to work very well. Either that or I just don't fully understand how to make use of the numpad commander. Anyway, I have the numpad and intend to make use of it if/when I ever set up VM fusion and am running windows.

Hi David, In my opinion, because the small apple keyboard lacks the control key on the right side, it makes typing certain vo key combinations, such as the commonly used voa, or vo f, kind of a pain.I suppose one could use the keyboard commander and the right option key plus letters on the left hand to accomplish these things, or purchase a numeric keypad and use the num pad commander. But if you have an macbook pro already, you have a track pad. So I'm not sure why you'd want to buy another one. I think a numeric keypad would greatly enhance the MBP, since it would open up the full range of num pad commander keys to you.

Re: Disappearing apps?
Hello, Ok, I shall try to be more specific. I generally have mail, yorufukurou and finder open and I can command tab between those. Until I upgraded, any other app that I opened, could be also command tabbed to. Now, no matter which app I open, disappears after even a second of me not being focused on it. I have like 7 or 8 apps open at the moment, but I can only command tab to the usual three, and no more. I know the rest are running, because I hear adium, for instance, and I can see all the apps I have open in my app chooser. I hope this explains a bit.

Re: Focus blue Braille display not working properly on iMac
Hi, While this is possible, it is happily powering the pacmate braille display. Maybe it takes up less pwer than the focus blue. If this is the case, it is rather disappointing, since I really wanted to use my focus blue. I wonder if I connected it via a hub, it it would work better. On 24 Jun 2011, at 13:44, erik burggraaf wrote: Hi All USB ports are not created equal. Sometimes a usb port can't deliver enough power to operate the hardware you plugged in. A braille display takes a lot of power and maxes out the limited ability of a usb port to deliver. So it sounds to me like the USB ports on your mac aren't delivering enough power to drive the cells of your display. To test this, simply unplug the uSB cable and switch to bluetooth on your mac.

Re: Fusion and switching between operating systems
Hello Jeff, This is exactly the issue I was having, and it was very frustrating. Also, neither system was particularly stable. That's why I decided to blow away the virtual machine for now. Naama - Original Message - From: Jeff Bishop j...@jeffbishop.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2011 11:05 PM Subject: Fusion and switching between operating systems Hello Everyone, As I will be attempting this to replace my Windows machine (putting Windows on my Mac) I wanted to start a thread about Fusion and keyboard issues. One of the issues I have seen from users is an issue of keyboard focus being maintained or switching between operating systems. Meaning, once in Windows, making sure keyboard focus stays in Windows and doesn't switch away or staying in Mac land. Has anyone else seen this with the latest version and if so do you have suggestions to resolve it? I will be working with my son Brian who is also getting a Mac so I am sure we may run into this ourselves. Just trying to get ahead here as this will be a vital issue for both him and me. I really don't want to Bootcamp if I can help it. Also, have others seen a difference between XP and Windows 7 as it relates to the keyboard focus issue?

Re: New member with a timezone question
That worked like a charm, thank you. I didn't think that city thing was editable, because it didnt' say so. I am still too unfamiliar to develop an intuition about thest things...

When using the Time Zone feature of the Date Time System Preference, the easiest way to set your Time Zone is to enter your closest major city in the Closest city field. 1. Open your system Prefs. 2. go to Date Time. 3. Select the Time Zone tab. 4. Navigate right until you reach the Closest City combo box. 5. Enter the first few letters of the closest major city to you, possibly Jerusalem in your case. Your Mac will automatically set the Time Zone once it knows that city. I also make sure to have the Set Time Zone Automatically button to Off. This should do the trick for you. Later...

New member with a timezone question
Hello, My name is Naama and I currently live in Israel. I have just received my very first mac a few hours ago -- it is a new iMac. I have gone through the out of box experience successfully, and I am noticing that my timezone is not set properly. I did not get an option to set my timezone, even when I set the location. When I went into system preferences, into the timezone tab, I checked the box that said to automatically set my timezone, but this did not work. Maybe Israel is not included in the timezones the mac can find automatically. It defaults to Pacific Dayligt time, and I cannot seem to change it. I cannot interact with either the map, or the timezone button. I am of course connected to the internet. How do I get my timezone to be correct? Thanks, Naama -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.
