RE: Restoring from a Time Machine backup.
Hi, that's great advice. I myself am new to the mac and would like to know if it's possible to make an exsisting account the admin account. I have two accounts on my macbook pro, both require a password to log on. If yes, can you tell me how to set that up? Thanks much.

Hi, Sorry, but this is absolutely wrong. Do not boot into the recovery partition on a new Mac. This is the method for recovering the same machine not migrating to a new one. The first time you boot up your brand spanking new Mac, the instructions on screen will walk you through the entire process. But basically, you will be asked if you are moving from another Mac and will be prompted as to how you want to move your data, one option will be from an external time machine backup. Don’t worry, you can always do this later with the migration assistant utility. If you don’t have a lot of apps and data to move, consider doing this manually. A new Mac is a great opportunity to create a clean install without migrating the legacy preferences from prior versions. Finally, this would be a good time to remind you of best practices. You should always have two accounts on your Mac. One as your admin account and the second as the one you use day to day. The day to day account should not have admin rights on your Mac. This simple step is arguably the single most important step you can take to ensure the security of your Mac. Best, —k Faith doesn’t give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions.

RE: num padis locked
I will find time in the next day or 2 and will get back to you with my results. If it works the way you say it will, it will be awesome. Thanks again. Tony From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bill Dengler Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 7:54 PM To: 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries Subject: Re: num padis locked No. You need to modify the VM so that the keyboard can be connected to it directly. Here’s how : Locate your VM bundle. Typically, it’s located in a subfolder of Documents which is in your home folder. right click (VO+shift+m), show package contents. Open the "your-machine-name.vmx" file in a text editor (textEdit is included on OS X but any editor will work). Add the following two lines to the bottom of the file : usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE" usb.generic.allowLastHID = "TRUE" Save the file (command+s) and close it. Reopen VMWare and start up your VM. Then click the "show settings" button. Go to USB and your keyboard will be listed in the table. Check the checkbox and click OK to confirm. Now, the external keyboard will control the VM, and the internal keyboard will control the host system. This means you can use both systems simultaneously and have full keyboard support on Windows! I use an external windows-style mechanical keyboard with my Mac, so can use typical Windows key commands/placements. Bill P.S. VMWare Fusion has been abandoned. I’m still using it at the moment, but I wouldn’t suggest it for new or mission critical systems. Still looking for a better accessible hypervisor for the Mac, haven’t found a replacement yet.

You can actually create commanders in order to rewind and Fast forward a text or reading with the VoiceOver say all command! In order to do that you need to create VoiceOver commanded that work with the option key. I don't know if you know this, but you can can actually access the mail app, Safari,and you can make Voiceovr tell the times by doing the commanders. For instance, you can do option S in order typ open Safari, option M for mail, and option t for the time. For the rewind and Fast Forward, you can create those commands with a podcasts of Apple Vis that show how to do that detail by detail. I actually created those commands with that! I create VoiceOver commandrs for interacting and stop interacting with tables and items, for the screen courts in in ordr to turn it of an and on, and in ordr to turn off and on the trackpad commander.

Re: mac book
Hi Gerry. I'm a jaws user as well as a Mac user. I find that the ease of web navigation on the mac with Voiceover depends on your needs. its' different from the jaws method, but how good or easy it is is strictly a matter of opinion. there are certain times when I'm using a Mac that I wish Voiceover would navigate the web in the same way as jaws or window eyes, but that's rare and usually pertains to reading and handling programming code. I and others have written to Apple about this style of navigation and asked for it as one of the options/methods of getting around a web page. Apple' accessibility division seems to be pretty receptive to feedback, so I wouldn't be shocked to see this implemented in the future.

My VO utility setting to announce all punctuation is apparently ignored because characters such as the equal sign are not verbalized as I move over them, but are visible to voiceOver when I use the move right command (right flick or vo-arrow). When I interact, only part of the line is displayed. I attempted to select all and copy to a file in the textEdit application, but the result was also unreadable.

RE: Virtual viewer in Safari?
HI Geoff. I know it's annoying the way VO reads some web stuff, but it seems that most folks do have their needs met concerning web navigation on the Mac. It isn't that they are out of touch with reality. IF it meets their needs, human nature sometimes causes anyone of us to be unaware of circumstances that might call for a different approach of doing something. I've found that I don't like the way that VO reads the column and row information in HTML tables, so I just turned that off in the web category in the VO utility. VO is still a relatively new screen reader and does need work in areas, but what they've done so far is amazing to me, even if I do agree that their web navigation approach needs work. That's why I wrote to them. I'm sure that with patience from the consumers VO will start to blow all screen readers out of the water in every aspect before we know it. I predict that in time other screen readers might even start to copy the VO approach of doing things. For instance, this concept of having to enter forms mode has always bugged me even if I got used to it. Even the auto forms mode in JAWS is buggy because it sometimes makes it hard to navigate with the arrow keys for certain auto-complete fields, not to mention that it has a crazy way of behaving in certain configurations when one tries to exit forms mode from edit boxes. I think all screen reader companies, though they compete, can and do learn from one another even if that means simply creating a feature similar to that in a competing product just to keep up or jump ahead of the competition.

Hi Tony, Thanks for the note. Frankly it's hard to understand why so many former JFW users claim on this list that they never look back because web navigation (which is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in application dialogs) is totally substandard by any objective analysis. It was challenging, but possible to update my JawBone Jambox in MSIE. Don't even think about attempting this task in Safari. The tables on braille.wunderground.com are so much easier to navigate in Windows. Yes it's possible to ascertain information such as current conditions and records, but the process is far to time consuming. I always book flights on Southwest or peruse my supermarket's weekly adds in Windows for the same reason. Up till now I suspected I was missing something obvious because the only alternative possibility is that this list is completely populated with coo laid drinking cheer leaders who are totally out of touch with reality! I will compose a note to the accessibility team, but suspect web navigation might have been implemented much better had the former switchers afforded themselves a modicum of objectivity rather than focusing on the price of the screen reader (which in the case of web navigation is worth every penny we pay for it).

RE: Virtual viewer in Safari
Selection problems like this are part of Geoff's difficulty, as well as mine. Also, while I don't mind using the VO DOM method of navigating, I sometimes do want to have a sense of where one line ends and the next begins for practical reasons.

RE: Virtual viewer in Safari
Right, it's a matter of what you use the web for. That's one of the many wonderful things about Voiceover. You can use different methods of web navigation for different types of activities. The word processor style helps with some things, but it isn't necessary or might even be a bit cumbersome in other situations. The group way is good for some things but might not be so good for other things. The DOM method is fine for things that group and word processor type navigation might not handle as well. In JAWS, Window Eyes, etc., navigation methods are more limited. iOS has a way to navigate by line, which I sometimes use but not always. OS X users would benefit from that approach as well.

It does take some getting used to, but in particular I consider group mode one of the best things that ever happened to accessible web browsing. I check the weather underground site mentioned every day, and find it no less useful with VO than under Jaws.

I don't experience any problems here with Safari although sometimes it doesn't let me select a word I can't spell or a website within another website that I can't spell and copy it. And sure, I got kinda confused the first time I used Safari with VO. I was used to navigating up and down through a page as opposed to left or right, but now I'm used to it. It just takes a little time I guess. Also about the Auto Forms Mode in JAWS and how VO handles forms, there's another screen reader for Windows called System Access and it lets you type in forms without extra keys as well. I highly doubt that Window-Eyes will develop something like this, as Freedom Science Fiction is famous for suing people for stealing their ideas.

RE: mac question
Hi Sean. I'm pretty sure that by power Mac he meant one of the higher-end macs as opposed to a lowe end one such as the plain old MacBook. Personally, I think the MacBook is higher end than any PC I've ever had as far as performance and eas of use are concerned, and I have had some good ones. My advice would be to try to max out the ram and get a decent speed processor and plenty of harddrive space. Of course, if you want other goodies like an SD card slot, etc., a MacBook Pro would be the way to go. I have a Macbook, and I don't mis the SD card slot and stuff like that.

RE: ipod oops.
Hi Nadine. Try doing a google search for a program called Senuti for the mac. I just used it to transfer my stuff from the iPod to my mac. That, of course, was after I transferred purchases from the iPod to iTunes directly. You can set Senuti to add your files to the itunes library and to skip files that are already on the computer. It's accessible, and I highly recommend this program. It's shareware, which means you eventually have to pay for it if you want to keep using it, but the trial is quite generous, 1000 songs or 30 days, whichever comes first. Not bad in my opinion. I had less than that on my iPod, so I got all my stuff on the mac for free. It also transferred some iBooks purchases and sound files that I got from sources other than the iTunes Store.

I tried to use word as a test at the apple store when I bought the mac and had to buy iworks2009 in order to substitute Microsoft, but although the apple version is enough for my needs, Microsoft Office suite is necessary for the work environment being that most employers are offering Microsoft's products as part of the equipment for employees.

In addition, many people in the blind community who are already mac users will also have the choice of either operating system.

This is a good idea and I think it is worth a shot you never no even with a multi bilion dollar company like microsoft. It is important however to consider the actual programming of the software. Microsoft office is written using the C++ language which is microsofts own language developed by them. Apples main programming language is Coco and the other older one is Carbon. The magic of voiceover lies in Coco, if any software is developed using Coco it's accessible using voiceover or mostly ment to be anyway and this is why some 3rd party developers can make applications accessible without even realising as long as they properly use the Coco code. Microsoft office as said, is written in C++. Ok so mac OS can read c++ applications modified a little and this is why office works on mac but office for mac is still a c++ application modified to work on mac. In order to make it accessible it has to be written from the ground up using Coco and this is why I don't think microsoft will consider making office accessible. It will cost them a lot of time and money and for what? For them it is firstly Apple which is the opposition and secondly disabled mac users is only a small drop of water in their ocian of office users. I think before developing office from scratch using Coco they would rather invest money in accessibility on windows in order to try draw more disabled users to their software. Basically they have got us by the short and curlies, we are mac users, we want to use office but can't, and they know it. But as I said it is still worth a try we'll never know before we try, maybe they surprise us so I say give it a go...

The lack of Office support isn't the only reason agencies are reluctant to offer the Mac as a viable solution for blind users, but I bet it doesn't help. In that respect, Microsoft's failure is a much bigger deal than Apple's was with iTunes. I know some people will say that's exactly why organisations like the NFB aren't making a big deal about it, but I'm not sure that's true. Either way, why they're not doing it at the moment isn't as important as letting them know that there's a problem, and that there's a sizeable number of blind users who want them to do something. Targeting them to take action might be as good an effort as targeting Microsoft directly. Because, as noted, our market share is tiny. It's going to take more than just us telling them they're losing money to bring change, and that's what organisations designed to advocate for the blind should be good at, IMO.

My suggestions are to raise awareness of the myriad issues that plague this particular situation. Speaking directly to Microsoft may be an outcome of this awareness, but for one person to go up against Microsoft and demand accessibility yields the typical response: We're working on the problem, and we'll get back to you. Let us not speculate as to Microsoft's stance on accessibility until we hear a direct, emphatic and clear NO! from the mother corps.

RE: Porting a python app to mac.
Hi Ash. The Mac has the ability to run Python programs. The length of time would be determined by how long it takes to port the API calls to Voiceover and the skill of the programmer and his/her willingness to learn to do this.

RE: Campaign to get an accessible Microsoft Office for the Mac
I was under the impression that Apple's philosophy is that the developers should be the ones to take care of accessibility by using the tools they provide for the purpose. I'd faint dead away if Microsoft were actually to take a thing like that seriously. They've certainly all but abandoned it in Windows and limit themselves to token efforts.

Re: Campaign to get an accessible Microsoft Office for the Mac
I think that even if the scripting system worked the same, the developer should be the one to bear that responsibility. From what I hear, programming best practices generally turn out decent programs, but Windows programmers mostly seem to be more interested in slapping the UI together as fast as possible and just make sure it can be seen with the naked eye and manipulated with a mouse.

Re: Help! Can't insert disk into drive
Hi Christine. To be sure that you have no disk in the drive, the keystroke is option-eject. I don't know if this will help you, but when I first tried to do this, I was putting the disk in upside down. The Macbook took my disk in and then spit it back out after a few seconds. I turned the disk over to insert it mirror side down and that worked. I'm sorry for not being any more helpful than that.

RE: progress indicator in safari
Hi Denise. Yay! Here's my first time helping a VO user for a change! I don't know about others, but the way I check on a download is: 1. Interact with the download list. 2. Navigate to your download and interact with it. 3. VO to the right to hear a few things including the progress.

In my limited experience, that about levels I don't know how to set this up. I personally navigate using list view and do not know yet how to move through levels. However, as for reading text on web pages in flat view as in a document, you must first interact with the HTML content. After that, when you want to read text, interact with the text itself. You will see that whenever you use your arrow keys, you will be able to read text. This is how I often do when I want to highlight text for copying to the clipboard or reading the spellings. I guess that some have got their own way of doing it, but I just interact with the text object and navigate the paragraphs comfortably.

Re: The App Switcher And The Keybord Dock.
Hi George. Nice to see you here. So you have also jumped in to the land of Apples. From what I know there is no double tap and hold funktion from the keyboard. I have done it from the screen and when I done it on one app I want to close I can use the v o commands on the keyboard to navigate to next app and hit v o + space to close it. I have ipad 1 and the keyboard dock to it. But I almost use a bluetooth keyboard. Reason is that apples original cover for the ipad 1 is making the unit to large to fit into the connector on the keyboard dock. I think the ipad 2 with smartcover works better together with keyboard docs. Regards Tony 2011/4/26, Georges Zaynoun humorlessg...@samobile.net: Hello friends!

cannot find the .m file in Xcode
Hi everyone. In trying to make a hello world program based on a command line tool template, I was instructed to find the .m file to change the code.

RE: extremely frustrated re: reading pfd files
Hi Carolyn and Esther. I have the Pages program. It won't open PDFs. After trying to get one open in Pages recently, I wrote to the list and asked about it. Ishe said Pages can only export to PDF. Thank you Esther for that reminder. I do interact with the text in preview. Reading by line works until I want to start examining a line one character at a time. Then It starts reading way at the top of the document, which Simon rightly dubbed a nuisance. I'll try again with PDFs that are not available on iBookas epub files, but I will go with the iPod for reading the epubs. It would be a lot better than having 2 laptops eradiating my mid section at the same time and far less unwieldy.

Skim completely freezes when I reach the end of a page and forces me to close it out, which is unacceptable. Stanza does weird things with the spacing and makes the information incomprehensible. Safari doesn't let me interact with the text properly and insists on taking me to the very first page no matter what part of the file is visible when I try to interact with the text.

Preview doesn't track my location properly when I read by line, so if I have to start reading by character, I'm completely lost there too. I don't wish to pay for a pdf to text converter because I don't have fond memories of such converters and I don't want to view the information as text. Is there a program out there for the Mac that reads PDF files, doesn't hang up or have quirky and distracting problems tracking the cursor, etc.?

trackpad commander
Hi everyone. IS the trackpad commander only functional in certain models of Macbook? I have a 2006 model, which I think is the MA699 or 669. Thanks for any help.

Re: extremely frustrated re: reading pfd files
Hi Esther. Once again you've come to the rescue. I can indeed view the very same book in iBooks as you said. Also, concerning preview, I was going about trying to read a character at a time the wrong way. I was trying to set the rotor to character and then using the down arrow key with quicknav turned on. I still have quicknav on, but now I just use VO-Shift-left or right arrow. I use preview for PDFs that I can't get on iBooks. Also, I have to remember to use the bookmark feature any time I leave the preview window because it will take me back to the very top of the PDF if I don't. Again, thank you, Esther. I can see you took quite a bit of time to verify that the book you were talking about was the same book I was reading and how to search for it, etc., not to mention writing the email and even including a link. You're very kind. Tony On Apr 23, 2011, at 11:10 PM, Esther wrote: Hi Tony, I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time reading the Objective C book on your Mac. I went back to look at the Objective C book in PDF format that you referenced, and this is readable in Preview provided that you remember to interact with the material. I can get this to work with Adobe Reader (shudder). Stanza (on your Desktop) is really not designed for this. If you're reading the material in Safari, you may find it easier to use the web page version of the manual rather than the PDF file, but this is all doable. However, I think it will be easiest for you to get started with this on your iPod Touch, since the controls and navigation are already familiar to you. This also means that I can get you started progressing more quickly with what you want to read. First of all, let me say that now, having actually downloaded the PDF version of the book, looked at the HTML version at the Apple Developer's Site URL that Barry gave, and downloaded the free ePub version of the book from iBooks, these are all the same book! So, if I go back to my original post that stated that since you mentioned in your introduction that you had an iPod Touch, you could download the free iBooks app onto your iPod Touch from the iTunes App Store and then find the free ebooks from the Apple Developer's connection there, this was perfectly true. On your iPod Touch, go to the following App Store URL for iBooks: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibooks/id364709193?mt=8 If you read this post on your iPod Touch, you can open the link to go directly to the free iBooks app in your App Store. Purchase it by double tapping on the Free button, and supply your iTunes Store password to let it download. Then, from your iPod Touch: 1. Launch the iBooks app on your iPod Touch 2. When the app opens, double tap the Store button in the top right corner to go the store. 3. Double tap the Search button (4th of 5 buttons on the bottom of the screen). 4. In the search field at the top of the screen, double tap and enter apple using the virtual keyboard. If you move your finger down from the search text field, or alternatively if you flick past the Clear text and Library buttons to the list of results, you'll hear Apple Inc. and then Apple Developer Publications. 5. Double tapping on Apple Developer Publications will bring up a list of the 6 free publications in ePub format that can be read in the iBooks app. 6. Flick right to the 5th of these books, which will be The Objective C Programming Language and double tap. You can read reviews, etc. and the brief description of the book, but since you already know you want to get this book, just navigate (flick right) to the Download button and double tap. I'm going to paste in an excerpt from a recent viphone list post that describes how to use bookmarks and searching in iBooks. You can also use the Table of Contents to navigate to pages. If you want to read by characters or words, change your rotor setting and then flick up or down. Reading works pretty well if you're using a paired Bluetooth Keyboard, and you can use QuickNav keys to adjust the rotor (e.g., enter QuickNav mode by pressing the Right and Left arrow keys on your keyboard, then use the arrow keys in conjunction the command, control, and option keys to navigate.) begin excerpt From: Esther Date: April 19, 2011 Subject: Using iPhone User Guides in iBooks [was Re: What's that new command for changing screenpages] Hi Cher and Others, You can also get a copy of the User Guide for the iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad from iBooks. This is just the same version of the manual you can access under the bookmarks in Safari, but in ePub format. You have to download iBooks as a free app from the App Store, since it isn't loaded onto the device by default. Once you have launched iBooks, just go to the Store of iBooks and type Apple Inc. into the search field. There are six user guides -- two each

My own MacBook Pro has one, but it's late 2010. I'm afraid you're probably out of luck with the trackpad commander, which is a shame because that really is a nice feature. Sorry I'm not more encouraging. If you really wanted to, I suppose you could get a magic trackpad and hook that up, though if you ask me it's more trouble than its worth. Best, Zack.

opening a pdf in page or edit text won't work.
Hi all. I'm trying to open a pdf about Objective-C in pages, but it refuses to let me open it. The open button is dimmed in the open with dialog if I choose pages as the application to open the pdf with. I can open it in Edit Text, but all I get is garbage characters. This is the Objective-C book that Barry told me about a while back that I got from the Apple website. I don't like to use the Preview App. I find that I get lost far too easily there. It doesn't seem to keep track of the cursor in the text of the document very well. I'd b much obliged if someone would help me yet again.

extremely frustrated re: reading pfd files
Hi all. I've ben trying all day to get various programs to work well reading PDFs on the Mac and have gotten no where fast. The programs I've tried are Adobe reader 10, Stanza, Skim, Preview, Safari, and Text Edit. These each have bugs that either make the document unreadable or difficult to read, or get hung up. Skim completely freezes when I reach the end of a page and forces me to close it out, which is unacceptable. Stanza does weird things with the spacing and makes the information incomprehensible. Safari doesn't let me interact with the text properly and insists on taking me to the very first page no matter what part of the file is visible when I try to interact with the text. Adobe is completely inaccessible. Text Edit just renders the file as garbage characters. Preview doesn't track my location properly when I read by line, so if I have to start reading by character, I'm completely lost there too. I don't wish to pay for a pdf to text converter because I don't have fond memories of such converters and I don't want to view the information as text. Is there a program out there for the Mac that reads PDF files, doesn't hang up or have quirky and distracting problems tracking the cursor, etc.? So far my experience with viewing pdf files on the Mac has been unhappy and worthy of 1 star. It's quite discouraging. I really, really don't want to have to read all my Objective C stuff on Windows machines. I'm at my wit's end with this and quite disappointed so far.

Go to the iBooks Store and pick up some of the free Apple Developer Publications. There are 6 of them, with 3 covering iOS specific topics (Human Interface Guide, Application Programming, and Technology Overview), and 3 more on general programming topics (Objective C Programming, Object-Oriented Programming, and a Guide to Cocoa Fundamentals -- which is the basis of the OS X programming environment). Just put Apple Developer into the search field. The other thing you can consider doing longer term, is joining Bookshare, but that's $50/year. It includes access to all the computer books published by O'Reilly. Those books are also all available for international Bookshare memberships. HTH.

RE: introduction
Hi Oriol, Chris, Shawn, Sarah, Matt, et al. Again, I want to thank you for being such a friendly bunch. I feel welcome here. Snow Leopard package arrives tomorrow. Not sure about the Mac yet, as it is being shipped via USPS, which never tracks anything correctly and sometimes sends things well out of the way before they get to their destination. It's gonna be a bit difficult having Mac OS without a Mac to install it on. Lol.

Re: I have never gotten the hang of sound flower
Hi Krister. From what I can see when I read about this unit it is a soundcard in itself and in Djay you can select the device to use as the main and pre listening so I think you can leave the system sound on the mac and let v o do it's talk there and let the music from djay go over the Spin. I don't get the idea behind soundflover too. About djay so are there some issues I have. There are a lot of checkboxes that don't have labels, the help tag still work so I can figer them out. There is also a table wich I think includes categories of for example artists but there is only unknown items in that table. If I select a song and in the context menu select load on table 1 I can't get it to play from table 1. Maybe that's not v o issues but the man behind the keyboard thats the problem :). I'm going to try it more later. So maybe it works better with the controler you are about to try. Good luck with your new gadgets.

New ipad user, need some app suggestions
Hi all. I ordered an iPad to myself for my birthday and it is a iPad 1, didn't see anything in the ipad 2 that I need at the moment. Ok, I loaded it with a lot of apps and to my surprise the apps that works on the iPhone isn't accessible at all with the iPad version. One example is tweetter app wich is useable on iPhone but completely inaccessible on iPad. I thought that if a software works on one ios device it would work on another also with the specific app for the device. but I learned it the hard way that isn't so. So I need some suggestions here for a couple of apps. Twitter, what is the best app for that on ipad. Rss, I use feeds for iphone at the moment but any other tips for apps that syncs with google reader on ipad is welcome. Is it worth it to get pages for iPad? I think it's all for now. Maybe I'll be back again with more ipad questions later when I get more used to the device.

You need an approved piece of hardware as well to use pro tools. There are three main flavors of pro tools. Pro tools le, pro tools m powered, and, pro tools hd. Pro tools le uses various avid/digidesign USB and firewire interfaces like the m box, 003r, 003, etc. Pro tools m powered uses m audio and Mackie interfaces including the pro fire, project mix, onyx 16-4-2, etc. Pro tools hd uses high end hardware consisting of pci cards, interfaces, and other components. The main differences besides the I/O options are the number of tracks in a session, and, sample rate. Also with hd, you can use the pci hardware to do processing which would free up CPU. A decent I mac or mac book pro would be fine for pro tools le and m powered, as long as you have a second hard drive you can use, like an external firewire drive. For pro tools hd, you need a mac pro desktop, or, a mac book pro with a pci express card slot and an external case to mount the pci cards in... As far as cost, you're looking at minimum, $300 and up. Pro tools le or m powered are the two you'll probably want to investigate. Chec out sweetwater or musicians friend etc to read up on specs and prices.

If you stop interacting with any program control and go with the v o cursor to the top of the window you have a unlabled button. Press the tab-key here a few times takes you to the volume slider and you can adjust it with left and right arrowkeys. Hope this helps.

Re: Further to my braille display problem
Hi Krister. I think your displays work on your other mac and you try them on the mb pro? is this correct? Did you transfer your settings from the older machine to the mb pro? And, did you use the swedish braille table? I have the same problem then transfering the content from a macbook to a Imac and I have blank braille display until I installed the swedish brailletables again on the newer machine. If you didn't have the swedish table installed, maybe reselecting braille table in vo settings can help you.

Re: how install windows 7
Hi all. I had the same issue with a complete original windows 7 disc and serial number. It doesn't install at all from the disc. It spins the disc for a while and then do nothing.

So maybe the upgrade versions have different installer than the versions for doing a complete new install.

I still need to add my music to iTunes though. most of the ID3 tags in my mp3s are messed up. some of them have both the artist and title duplicated in both the artist and title fields. I'll have to run them through mp3 tag studio on windows first as nearly all the file names are done as artist - title.mp3, so that should sort mmost things out. . But can itunes fill in all the other tags? one thing I can't get to work is e-mail. I've switched both my phone and pc to imap with no problems at all. but the mac doesn't want to know. the incoming server has an invalid certificate and it can't connect to the smtp server. it's really frustrating. I have e-mailed the tech support guys so they should hopefully have an answer. I still keep forgetting how the cursor works. I understand what's happening, I just keep reverting to windows habbits. I'll get it eventually. then I'll be expecting windows to behave like the mac. While editing text on a webpage, say in a reply on a message board, the home and end keys don't seem to do what they're supposed to do. also, if I do vo shift m to bring up the menu of misspelled words, it clicks on the wrong word. do I have to move the vo cursor onto the word I want to change? I was just using the arrow keys before. is there a command to read the current time rather than hopping over to the status menus? I know it's possible. To whoever it was who uses XMarks on the mac, did you try it on snow leopard? I downloaded the snow leopard package, ran it and it says that it requires leopard. I'm running 10.6.1. I'll also need to get it to write to ntfs drives, say if I want to copy some music I bought in itunes over to my windows machine,. I'm planning on buying superdooper or whatever it's called. that sounds like a fantastic backup solution. Finally, has anyone had any luck using the dashboard? I can bring up the different widgets ok, they're just confusing to wirk with. particularly the weather one. I'm sure I'll come up with more questions to keep you lot busy. :) so like I said, if it wasn't for it not playing ball with my e-mail provider, I'd be totally happy and for most things, I can see myself using the mac exclusively.

This allows you to recover them when you do a fresh install or whatever. The reason I'm mentioning this is that they have released a Version that is compatible with safari under sl. Has anyone used Xmarks on the mac and is it accessible at all? I want to make the switching over process as painless as possible and would hate to re-add all my bookmarks and things manually. There's also a version for IE by the way. Secondly, for those of you living in Europe, how accessible is spotify on the mac?

I haven't had much chance to use SL and the web rotor but it's amazing how quick it is to jump around webpages just using the item chooser.
