Re: Using AutoFill in iOS

2019-05-02 Thread Sharon Hooley
I am now using IOS Firefox, as Safari doesn't work very well for me.  You can 
select autofill within that app, and you can download lockbox to use with it.

Re: Games that can be played with sited Children?

2019-04-07 Thread Sharon Hooley
You might try these websites:

www.applevis.com
There is a list of IOS game apps to browse and search.  The contributing 
editors rate them  from accessible to totally inaccessible.  I highly recommend 
that you search for  Blindfold games.  There's  a ton of games this app 
developer has  designed for both blind and sighted players!

Another website you might check out is
wwwddaudiogames.net

It also has a list of games you can play.

Items in the Trash still being used, how to quit completely?

Hi,

I’m trying to empty the trash on my Mac Book Air, El Capitan, which I might not 
be able to upgrade.  But while it’s trying to empty, I keep getting the alert 
that the file or folder cannot be deleted because it’s in use.  I forced Text 
Edit to quit and relaunched Finder.  What else can I try?

Thanks,

Question about Autofill Apps in Safari

Hi,

I understand that some websites won’t accept autofill in their login text 
field.  So my question is, do most sites accept them from alternative apps like 
password, or maybe Roboform?

No, but if I start my own business I would seriously consider it.  I seems an 
inexpensive option.

Trying to test Astreos:

2018-08-20 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hello Yuma,

I was going to test the Astreos app now, but the code has expired.  I didn’t 
realize how soon it would be gone.  If you’re still testing, can you please 
send me another?  I apologize and understand if you are finished.

Thanks again for the opportunity.

Re: Introducing Astreos: universal access to the cosmos

2018-08-14 Thread Sharon Hooley
Okay, I’ll try this, but I must confess that I have never been able to see in 
my life.  Of course, I know some of the names of some constellations, the 
planets we’ve known for years, and our Milky Way galaxy, but for exploring with 
something like this app, I count myself as a beginner, not being sure  how to 
take a flight, nor am I experienced with testing software.

Thank you for the privilege of trying it out.

Maybe that’s because we’re relying more on bluetooth headsets and the

Re: A Quick Question About Duo Lingo with a Braille Display

Yes, I use my bluetooth focus 14 Blue with my iPhone.  it seems to work well 
with it so far.  When you want to select from multiple choice translation 
answers word by word, I use my right navigation rocker to read each one at a

one in the order they must appear to get the correct result.

Re: A Question About The Uber App

2018-07-20 Thread Sharon Hooley
I just started riding independently with Uber yesterday!  so, I know that some, 
if not all drivers, are willing to help you to the door when getting out of the 
car, but can you make a note asking them to come and knock or help you down the 
steps?  The place where I live has steps at the front door with no railing, and 
I have a bit of a balance muscle weakness that makes me feel less secure.

Another question is, is it the best manners to wait until the driver opens your 
door, even when you arrive home, or is it okay to do it yourself.  Any other 
tips?

Thanks,

What to try with a frozen Mac Book Air with El Capitan?

2018-01-29 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

When switching from Windows 10 to my Mac Book Air with El Capitan, I could, at 
first, turn on VoiceOver, but still heard the dead end sound when pressing a 
lot of the keys trying to get around.  But I didn't hear other feedback from 
VoiceOver, so I had to have sighted help to put in my passwords.  It could not 
connect to Apple.  Now it's either stuck or won't start up completely.  I 
believe this mac is either a 2014 or 2015 model.  Is there anything I could try 
before taking it back to Apple?

Thanks for any input.

Starting up Windows in Target Disk Mode

2017-12-13 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

I'm trying to go back to Windows 10 via Bootcamp target disk mode.  On my 
Macbook Air, apparently still in El Capitan.  I've given up on VMWARE Fusion, 
cleaned up with Clean My Mac 3.  Now, what  I remember from before is that, 
after I unlock to make the change and restart it in target disk mode, I press 
the left arrow key and then press enter.  It seems that nothing happens.  Am I 
missing something, or do I need to reinstall Windows from my flash drive?  If 
so, is there a way I can do this accessibly, or will I need sighted help?

Thanks,



Sharon H.

Re: Focus blue commands?

2017-12-02 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

To cycle between Grade 2, grade 1, and eight-dots computer code, for typing in 
the name of a website for example, Hold down dots 2, 3, 6, as in question mark, 
etc, and press the space bar, then release them both.

To basically go to the top, hold down the letter L and press space, then 
release.

To go down to the bottom, hold down dots 4, 5, 6, which is the opposite of the 
letter L, to help you remember, press space, then release.

To go to the home page, hold the letter H and press space, then release.  If 
you’re on another page, just repeat that command.

Hth,

How to clear up some space on my startup Disk

2017-11-27 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

I’m having trouble with using my Windows 10 virtual machine on my Mac Book Air, 
apparently still in El Capitan and not the latest VMWare Fusion update.  I was 
told that the startup disk is almost full so VMWare won’t always let me use it. 
 I went into library/app support/, etc, and deleted the documents that were 
there.  Now I don’t see all those folders or the direct path folders are empty. 
 What more can I do?

Thanks,

Re: Aggravating USB issue

2017-11-11 Thread Sharon Hooley
You know, I had the same or similar problem with at least one Usb port.  I 
found that it happened after I jabbed my headphone jack into it by mistake.  It 
apparently set some switch, so I found that I just needed to go back into it  
at the bottom corner, where I could feel it  closer to the opening and  gently 
push it   further back into the slot  with that blunt  object.  Then I could 
feel it click back into place, and that fixed it.

Hth, and let us know if that worked.

Attention, anyone using Text editor for programming code

2017-10-05 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

I sent a message earlier asking how to open the context menu.  I got the menu, 
but the option I wanted wasn’t there.  I’m learning to use html.  As you 
programmers probably know, once you save it and open it in Safari, it is no 
longer the code you see, but the results.  I’m trying to revert back to the txt 
it came from.  I saw the option to browse the types of documents, but when I 
accessed the context menu, I didn’t see a list to choose from.  So, is there 
another menu to open, or do I open it at the wrong place?

Thanks,

Re: Copying text from one Apple device to another

What I do is copy or cut the text from the Mac, make a new message to one of my 
other email addresses, pasting the text in the message.  That way, I can open 
that message in my iPhone, copy or cut the text I had pasted, then paste that 
into the document app there I use.

Re: Voice Vision app?

2017-08-13 Thread Sharon Hooley
I first played with that app, I seemed to figure it out enough to use it.  But 
the last time,  or so, I either didn’t know if things changed or I forgot how 
and I was disappointed.  But I’ll tell you about another app I think I would 
recommend more as it  describes more specific colors and shapes.  It’s called 
Eye Music, that’s e,y,e, music.  You’re trained to understand which of a few 
musical instruments represent what color.  You can  learn one color at a time, 
and you listen to shapes based on the pitch and other nuances of each 
instrument’ sounds.  Once you thoroughly get the hang of it, you’re supposed to 
be able to identify the blend of colored more complicated shapes, and you can 
use it to take photos or real-time video  of objects in your environment, kind 
of like Voice Vision does.  they claim that a woman, blind from birth, was able 
to pick out a red apple for the first time in her life.  As far as I know, it’s 
free, so there's nothing to lose by trying it.  The only drawback I know is 
that the conversion of video  or photographs to that audio is slower than Voice 
vision.  Otherwise I like it so far.  You should be able to find it on:
applevis.com

Follow-up on App Traces

Hi again,

Thanks for the tip about the contextual menu.  However, it appears that I would 
need an uninstaller, not just throwing the app in the trash, and emptying.

Okay, I’m glad to hear that.  Still, I want to get rid of all those references

live with it, but it’s annoying.

Thanks again for your support,

Making a Network selection Default in safari

2017-07-16 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

There are now two internet services in my house.  My chosen one is Centurylink, 
to be specific.  The problem is that, even after I check to select it, it seems 
to wander back to the other service, at least when I try to download.  It takes 
data away from that end.  How do I make it permanent?

Thanks,

About Internet Access Via BPM and Airport Routers

2017-06-24 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

Okay, maybe BPM and Airport Routers are way two different subjects, but when it 
comes to accessing the internet, I’d like to learn more.

So, about BPM, does it give access from a distance you can’t get service 
otherwise?  Can it, for example, give me access to the town’s public library 
even if it’s several miles away?

The same for Airport routers, can that access an airport’s Wifi, even if you’re 
miles away?

Maybe stupid questions, but stupid questions are the ones that don’t get asked.

Thanks,

Re: Migrating from VMWare Fusion to Bootcamp

2017-06-09 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

I might be able to use Bootcamp without vMWare, but as far as I know, there’s 
no screen reader input to choose between Mac and Windows.  In my past 
experience, I could just wait and then arrow left to get to Windows, but it was 
hardest to get back to Mac, as I had to hold down certain keys for a certain 
length of time before it came up, so it was hit and miss.  I got sighted help 
then.

guest operating system, but it’s hit and miss.  I was busy in Windows Firefox, 
trying to download a long MP3 file..As I watched it progress, it suddenly 
seemed to lose control of the keyboard, and it’s hit and miss over again.  Is 
there a tip for making keyboard control stable in Mac OS Sierra?

Increasing Internet Speed?

2017-05-17 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

My household has recently switched to Hughesnet, which uses antennas instead of 
cable.  It’s supposed to be higher speed.  It’s based in the master bedroom, 
and can turn to go way down to the family room, where the lady of the house 
uses a tablet.  My room is closest to the base, but it seems that I have more 
trouble than she does.  Is there a way to boost it in a web browser and latest 
version of Mac?

Thanks,

Downloading Large Zip Folder

2017-05-09 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

How do you download large zip folders on a Mac Book Air with Sierra?  I’ve 
tried more than once, leaving my Mac awake with charger attached.  The last 
time I tried, I saw that it was downloading, but it was pathetically low, about 
3% if I remember right, so I stopped it.  The internet at our our house is 
supposed to be high speed, higher than the cable we used to use.

Thanks,

 In my opinion, Apple TV in general was disappointing me to the point I 
 sold my generation 4.  I have a few generation 3 units around if I 
 need iTunes access and honestly I like the simplicity of that unit and 
 the fact you don’t depend on application providers to make their 
 products accessible.  That being said, I do like having the apple 
 content available on the phone so have enabled some of the IOS apps

 I do use the Amazon box and that’s becoming very accessible.  I

 native amazon content and so forth are great.

Yeah, Siri has gotten hard of hearing on my phone. (Lol.)  Like, one or two 
days ago, I asked Him where a certain building is located, but all he could 
tell me was where I am located when I tested him.  I tried the other place 
again, but he didn’t understand, and could only repeat where I am located.  
Where can I buy hearing aids for Siri?  Hahaha.

Resending about Finding in Pages, some corrections

2017-04-29 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi,

I’m writing a large document in pages, current update.  I get to the place 
where Voiceover reads the find result in context.  I know the command J should 
jump to the selection, but when I jump, I usually don’t land where I want to 
be.  So, do I need to jump within the result area, outside the area after I 
exit with the escape key, or in both?  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: How To Stop Those Annoying, Endless Robocalls To Your Smartphone, USA Today

2017-04-17 Thread Sharon Hooley
I want my policy to be to remember not to answer every ring with a stranger’s 
number.  If the person really wants to talk, he/she can simply leave a message. 
 But thanks for sharing.  It would probably cut down on the ringing.  I wish 
everybody would show those scammers that their work isn’t worth it!  I read an 
article some time ago about how we can make a little profit by fining marketers 
for calling even when we have Do Not Call registered, but I’m not sure if it’s 
only for landlines.

Ok, a simplified VMWare Question

2017-02-18 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi again,

Well, I hope this is my last question on this topic.  I’m having a hard time 
finding the old podcast by Mike Arigo about using VMWare.  I’ve searched on 
Mystic Access and Cool Blind Tech, as well as Google, and so far I haven’t 
noticed it.  Is there a direct link I can use?  So my million-dollar question 
is:  Since cmd+g is not listed in the key routing menu in VMWare Fusion 8.5, 
how do I get to the mapping area, with Mac Book Air, El Capitan, with 
voiceover, and  are there special instructions I should follow?  By the way, I 
followed some other instructions for routing my capslock key to become an 
insert key for the screen readers modifier key, using Carabiner and Seil, so 
I’m wondering if they could be used to make the toggle work?

Thanks again,

Another thought about using VMWAre

2017-02-13 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi again,

I had another thought about using VMWare.  I noticed that there are two menus 
for choosing applications.  One is for adding applications you want to use, and 
the other is about default apps.  is it possible that I can simply add  Windows 
specific apps, such as individual games and an internet browser that I can flip 
to from Mac, so I don’t need to make more complex moves to get to Windows in 
general?  those are the only two things I want to use, besides talking with 
Quortana.  Otherwise, I want to do most of my work with Mac.

Thanks for any feedback.  I hope no one is getting tired of my VMWare questions.

Re: Moving between Mac and Windows, a little help please?

2017-02-13 Thread Sharon Hooley
Thanks for all the tips and explanations everyone.  Just so you know, I would 
have been okay without VMWare, when it comes to choosing the Windows startup 
disc, as   by can go through the motions without voice feedback, but it’s 
frustrating when I have no feedback as to when to release the key you have to 
hold for a few seconds to get back.

No, Bootcamp was not installed in Windows, as I previously thought it needed to 
be.  This was not on a PC computer.  This was, and is, on a Mac Book Air.

As for what I’m trying to do, I’m trying to switch reliably on the fly between 
Mac and Windows, using VMWare Fusion 8.5 plus,, on my Mac Book Air with OS10 
Sierra.

Re: Moving between Mac and Windows, a little help please?

2017-02-13 Thread Sharon Hooley
Okay, 

Here’s the thing about thinking I might need Bootcamp installed on my Mac:  
Some months ago, I was trying to get help to switch from Windows back to my Mac 
Book Air, which I now know   how to do with a simple keyboard command.  But at 
that time, my  sighted helper googled how to make the switch, and found that I 
needed to use Bootcamp on the Windows side.  So she went to further 
instructions as to what to do with the Bootcamp there.  She couldn’t see it 
there, so, not knowing how to switch, we took my Mac  to the technology  
company I do business with.  They said I didn’t have Bootcamp installed on 
Windows.  They did the switching for me.  so, knowing now that it’s not 
necessary to have this, I succeeded, again with sighted help, to see when 
exactly I needed to let go of the key so as to get to the target mode.  Thus, I 
was able to go from Windows back to Mac using only the Bootcamp on the Mac side.


Now, the reason why I thought I might need Bootcamp in Windows, is because I 
was having trouble switching on the fly with VMWAre Fusion.

So now, what I’m trying to do, is to learn what keystrokes to use.  I’m still 
having difficulty with the  command-G,  that  was suggested in this thread.  It 
seems as if Command-G doesn’t  work completely after setting full screen on the 
Windows side of VMWare.  So apparently, I’ll need to go to key-mapping.

Thanks again,

I thought of something. Here's what might be happening, since Unity keeps being 
dimmed. I was told that Bootcamp was not installed on the Windows machine. So, 
what's next, or are there other options? I was once subscribed to a Windows 10

anyone have the exact subscribing address off-hand?

Thanks much,
