Re: VMware's Fusion now free for personal use!

2024-05-26 Thread Kelly Ford
VMWare work station is now free for personal use as is the Mac Fusion product. 
This on Windows is the full work station product, not the restricted Player.
In my experience, if you didn’t make changes to your VMWare account as of I 
think May 16, you are better off making a new account. I know I received email 
saying I had to take action or my VMWare account would stop working.

Hello,

Assuming you have created an account, I believe this link will take you to the 
Fusion Pro for Personal use.

https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productfiles?subFamily=VMware%20Fusion=VMware%20Fusion%2013%20Pro%20for%20Personal%20Use=13.5.2==520445=EN

Please note, the first time I downloaded this, I had to use a button that said 
additional screening required and then provide my address and agree I wouldn’t 
use the software for such tasks as weapons creation or export it to restricted 
countries. I was returned to the form and the button was then a download button.

Re: Anyone using a Logitech MX keyboard for Mac?

2024-05-13 Thread Kelly Ford
Donna,

The Mac software is probably a bit easier unless you have experience with the 
JAWS touch cursor. That said, it depends I guess what you want to do. You don’t 
have to use the software to use the keyboard to be clear.

You can also switch the function keys to be function keys and their 
alternatives to require holding down the FN key by pressing and holding 
FN+escape for a few seconds on each device where you want it to behave this 
way. I’m fairly certain I had to do this on each device where I connect.

All this said, I don’t have the software installed at all on two of the three 
devices where I use this keyboard.

2024-05-12 Thread Kelly Ford
For what is worth, I have this keyboard and find it to be excellent. With 
respect to the app on both the Mac and Windows, and my experience while the app 
would fail pretty much any accessibility standard, I have found a way to use it 
with both JAWS and VoiceOver. It requires a lot of use of the JAWS touch cursor 
and VoiceOver commands to activate different items and it is far from 
efficient. In addition, you have to get familiar with a couple of nameless 
buttons to recall which one does what task. I’m by no means suggesting I would 
consider the app usable, unless you are willing to go through all of these 
hoops.

Typing on the device for me is excellent and aside from checking battery status 
I don’t use the app regularly.

Windows does have an app, and yes it is not accessible on the Mac, I had to get 
sited help. It’s nice though, cause you can set up keys to open up folders or

In fact I like it better than the one I am using on my windows 11 Pro machine 
which is for both Mac and windows. When using it on windows 11 Pro there are a 
couple of keys that do nothing. And windows keeps trying to install a Logitech 
app that is 0% accessible. And the only way I know it is even trying to install 
it is because my 32GB i7 Carbon X1 Extreme starts revving up like it is ready

The Mac version gives me no issues and does not try to install anything. And 
works great. I use the Mac Only Logitech MX on my M1 MacBook Pro but since it

Windows Insider and VMWare Fusion

2024-02-24 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

There is always that next wrinkle with this sort of stuff I suppose. As I think 
everyone knows, until recently VMWare fFusion wasn’t working right on silicon 
Macs and VMs would shut down immediately.

The most recent updates, at least for betas, of the Mac OS resolved that issue 
so now I can install and run a Windows 11 VM using VMWare Fusion.

The initial VM downloads an ISO for ARM from Microsoft and works.

Now though, when I try and join the Windows Insider program on the machine I’m 
told the PC doesn’t meet the hardware requirements. The failing item is the 
processor.

Interestingly, with Parallels, which starts with the equivalent ISO, I’ve had 
no trouble creating the VM and also joining the Insider program.

The processor itself between the two VMs ends up showing differently inside of 
Windows. They are configured the same in the two VMs in terms of what resources 
the VMs are using.

Has anyone else hit this and found a solution?

Re: VMware Fusion/Player

2024-02-10 Thread Kelly Ford
Well,

I am now running a VMWare VM on my M1 Mac. I have to use VOCR to get through 
setup and then add VMWare tools.  Only then did I get Narrator sound.

I’m not entirely sure why because I did get the windows startup sound after 
going through the first steps of OS install where you enter a product key and 
such. But I didn’t have Narrator speech.

Hi,

For what it is worth, my Mac updated to the latest developer beta today. VMware

I am trying to get through it with VOCR so we will see.

Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

2024-02-07 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

Have you noticed any difference in the audio quality of the units? In short, 
does the $50 extra get you better audio quality or are you paying for other 
technology and the $130 has equivalent audio sound.

Re: Using Parallels

2023-12-29 Thread Kelly Ford
Hello,

The solution I use here is to remap a different key on the Windows VM to be 
Capslock. I typically turn the accent/tilde key into Capslock. You can find a 
program called Sharp Keys to do this. It basically edits a registry value.

You can also look for PowerToys in the Windows App Store. That also does key 
remapping.

Adding Widgets on Mac OS

2023-12-25 Thread Kelly Ford
Hello,

Can someone point me to the proper method to add/remove widgets on the latest 
Mac OS.

I tried this article from Apple but it doesn’t seem to work.

I know how to open the Notification Center, indicate I want to edit widgets and 
find those I want. This is where I get stuck. I can activate the widget and it 
shows up in the preview area. At that point I’m stuck.

https://support.apple.com/guide/voiceover/notification-center-vo082d92ca69/mac#:~:text=Add%20or%20remove%20widgets%3A%20Navigate,then%20press%20VO%2DSpace%20bar.

Re: Will Vm Ware run on a M2 Mac?

2023-12-25 Thread Kelly Ford
Hello,

The short answer from my experience is yes. The longer answer is that at least 
here I’ve had issues getting Windows to work here. The newest editions of 
VMWare have an option to download the ARM version of Windows from Microsoft, 
much like Parallels.

I can create my VMs but they never start correctly.  I’ve tried the latest 
released version of VMWare and different technical previews they’ve made 
available over the past several months.

Others may have better success but according to VMWare this is supposed to work.

Re: Voice control on Mac running Sonoma

Hi,

I don’t use Voice Control but I do use Dictation fairly often to enter text.  
You can configure this so a double press for example of the control key turns 
on dictation, enter your text by voice and tap control again.

Jonathan,

Thanks for the pointer on that terminal screen reader. Instal was a snap and it 
works great for what it does. Alpine and Lynx are working well for example as 
are basic terminal commands and reading the output.

Reading Terminal Windows with VoiceOver

2023-11-30 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to read Terminal windows with VoiceOver on 
the Mac a line at a time? When I change VO to lines, everything is still read a 
word at a time.

Kelly

VoiceOver and Text Editing with Mac OS 14 Betas

2023-11-17 Thread Kelly Ford
Hello,

Is anyone else running the beta builds of Mac OS 14 and finding issues when 
editing text?  For example, I open some text files in TextEdit and use the 
arrow keys to try and read/edit. VoiceOver isn’t reading anything.

This also happens when I use the Feedback app to submit a bug report to Apple. 
I can press VO+a to read the full text field but moving by word, character and 
line with arrows and such is not working.

Text input and editing is working correctly in the Mail app.

Re: New Kindle App For Mac

2023-10-01 Thread Kelly Ford
Hello,’'

There are buttons when reading for previous and next page. That is what the 
names say.

As for all Kindle books, for those you have access to because you purchased or 
otherwise obtained the book, there is a library view just as there is in the 
iOS version. As for other books, you’d use whatever source you use to get books 
and whatever process makes them appear in Kindle today. For example, if I 
borrow an ebook from my library, there is an option to Read with Kindle and 
when I choose that, after telling Amazon to send the book to my device, it 
appears on all Kindle apps I might use.

New Kindle App For Mac

2023-09-30 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

I don’t know what sort of results others had trying to read Kindle books on a 
Mac but for me it never worked. Earlier this month Amazon replaced the Mac 
Kindle app with a new one that can be downloaded from  
https://www.amazon.com/gp/f.html?C=2NDKK4Z370WL0=OENZWTSEAM6Y=urn:rtn:msg:20230928201021b6d8bf2029864addbf5336a46160p0na=3QSXJRRSLV94F=C=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Famazon-kindle%2Fid302584613=644ZGOXXVAQQLVDV9HYCDHXJGOYA.

This version seems to work with VoiceOver a lot like the iOS version does. So 
far continuous reading seems to stop at the end of each page and you have to 
use a next page command in the app to get more content. Maybe there’s an option 
I’m not finding to change this.

Instrument Keyboard Assignments in Garage Band

2023-09-29 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a list of what instruments are assigned to what 
keyboard letters for instruments in Garage Band? I’m talking about situations 
where the instrument doesn’t typically have a keyboard or notes that can be 
assigned based on letters.

Drums are the best example of this. There are dozens of drum kits and within 
each, multiple drums and other instruments.

Re: Using the new macOS Sonoma

2023-09-27 Thread Kelly Ford
For me this happens if I have caps lock down and move into an edit box. I 
reported it to Apple during the beta and find it vexing.

My current solution is to turn on arrow key quick nav more frequently and use 
that instead of caps+left or right.

Re: Video editing

2023-07-16 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

Although it is primarily used for audio editing, the Reaper program can be used 
for editing videos. I’ve had success trimming and making basic edits to screen 
recordings I’ve produced using the program to edit.

See www.reaperaccessibility.com  for more 
details. It might seem like this is using a really complex tool but you can 
focus on just the basics of setting markers, cutting and such.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed a change inbehavior when moving

would tab to a list of mailboxes.  Arrowing up and down used to read that list 
without any need for VO interaction. Now all you get is group for each mailbox.

Capslock in Linux

2023-04-28 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to issue the Capslock key in a Linux OS when running 
Parallels on a silicon Mac?  On Windows I remap a key using Sharp Keys or the 
recently updated Windows Power Toys.

I’m just trying to figure out how to issue commands to ORCA.

Re: Running Windows on Apple Silicon MBP

2023-04-26 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

Parallels is doable but requires that you add an app called VOCR to your system 
to read the OS install screens. GitHub - chigkim/VOCR 
 is where you can get this.

There are several steps to getting this installed involving giving various 
permissions but the steps on the GitHub web page are pretty clear on what you 
need to do.
If you then choose File:New, in Parallels you can run OCR and issue mouse 
clicks on the get windows option and then continue. Rerun OCR and then issue a 
mouse click on Install Windows.

Things should be automatic from that point until you can launch Narrator.

You’ll likely want to use a utility called Sharp Keys, to remap caps lock in 
the Windows OS.

There is a third option beyond Fusion, which did recently announce a production 
version of Fusion for the M1 and M2 Macs.  UTM, available from the Mac App 
Store or as a download, is a GUI front end to an open source virtualization 
platform called QEMU. You can create VMs on the M1 and M2 Macs here by starting 
with a VHDX file from the Windows Insider program.  There are more hoops you 
have to jump through with UTM but it also works.

I’ve used all three of these solutions with success on an M1 Mac. BTW, Fusion 
has a free personal license you can obtain. Parallels has I believe about a $99 
a year subscription for the basic option and I think $119 for the Pro, which 
includes command line support and more.

I am working on a audio demo of installing and such with Parallels and hope to 
have it done in a couple days.

Hit, if you install the Linux options with Parallels, the default password 
created for the account that Parallels creates, is the same as your Mac OS 
password. I’m sharing this because at least for me the answer wasn’t 
immediately obvious.

Re: Redirecting Just VoiceOver Audio From Apple TV

2023-04-21 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi All,

I appreciate the thoughtful replies here. If I wasn't clear, the connection 
from my Apple TV to my television itself works fine. In fact when the audio 
quits working on the sound bar, I turn up the TV speaker and then I can hear 
the audio as I navigate Apple TV just fine. I’m just tired of having to do this.

I’m fairly certain the issue is something about the digital optical signal and 
or connection between the TV and the sound bar. I’ve tried multiple items to 
resolve this and the issue itself isn’t unique to Apple TV. I’ve had Roku and 
FireTV in the mix as well with the same challenge.

At this point I’m just going to explore routing the VoiceOver audio itself if 
as people say, that’s possible.

If media is playing on the Apple TV, the entire system works fine. So I’m 
guessing something in the mix is cutting off the signal, again either in the 
sound bar or the optical out.  I may continue to try and debug that but want to 
solve this immediate problem.

I’m guessing it is the sound bar in some fashion because I have pretty much the 
identical TV and Apple TV in a second location connected to a different full 
audio tuner for my surround sound environment and don’t have this problem.

I appreciate the thoughtful replies.

Redirecting Just VoiceOver Audio From Apple TV

2023-04-21 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

For some reason, if my Apple TV is not playing media, VoiceOver speech is often 
not played. I don’t think it is a problem with my Apple TV itself but rather 
the Samsung TV and how it sends audio to a sound bar I have connected.

Anyway, does anyone know if you can direct just the VoiceOver audio to a 
different sound source from the Apple TV?  I was thinking of setting up a 
specific speaker for just this or trying even a Bluetooth headset.

Excel and Mac OS 13

2023-01-27 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

A bit ago I asked if anyone else was having issues with Excel and Mac OS 13 
where the content of cells was not being read as you navigated.  I’ve made an 
interesting discovery on this.

I use Eloquence as my synthesizer on Mac OS 13 and with any of those voices in 
use, as I arrow from cell to cell, nothing is read.  However, if I switch back 
to a voice such as Samantha, cell contents are indeed read.

I’m now even more curious what others are finding.

I am doing this on an M1 Mac.

Hi,

I am curious if anyone else is having issues with Excel on an M1 Mac with Mac

If I open the spreadsheet and arrow around, nothing is read.  The cell content

This has only started happening since updating to the newest OS.

A Basic Question on Changing Sound Sources

2022-06-07 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

Maybe I’m missing it but is there a way to move through the list of sound 
sources for output and not have each sound source selected as you move.  For 
example, if my Mac output is set to speakers, the next item in order in my list 
of sound sources in the table is my Apple TV device.  The third is a USB sound 
device I have connected.

Late at night, I want to switch to the USB device but it often first results in 
some sound going to the Apple TV.

I’m interacting with the table of devices with output selected in the Sound 
item in System Preferences.

Basic Editing of Quicktime Files on Mac

2022-03-04 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

I am trying to do some basic editing of quicktime recordings.  So far the most 
success I’ve had it to use cmd+y to turn the recording into clips and bring up 
the clip view with cmd+e.  I then interact with the list and have to count the 
number of clips and delete the items I do not want.

What I haven’t figured out is if there is a faster way or a method to get the 
details about each clip, such as length.

These are generally videos where I want to cut segments out from the middle of 
a screen recording I’ve made.

Garage Band Basic Recording

2022-02-17 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

I want to use Garage Band on the Mac to do some basic audio recording of some 
text I need to read.  I understand how to get the recording established, tracks 
and such.

If I press r, that will start recording but how to I pause/stop and then start 
recording at the end of where I left off?  If I press space it does stop 
recording but also starts playback so unless I let that run to the end, I end 
up recording over myself.

Re: Capslock and VMWare Fusion

2019-11-01 Thread kelly ford
Hi,

A bit more of an update here.

My preference when I use JAWS on Windows is to use the laptop layout.  As I 
said, I originally had mapped a function key to insert.  The bluetooth keyboard 
I was using had extra function keys so I mapped what showed up as F19.

But my ultimate goal is to use the MacBook’s keyboard directly.  There are no 
function keys, just the Touch Bar.  While I can press function keys using the 
Touch Bar, I have no idea how you hold them to also press a second key.

So now what I’ve done is remapped the Accent key (left edge of the numbers) to 
be Capslock in Fusion.  I then ensure the Windows screen readers are using 
Capslock as a modifier.

Then when I want to issue a Windows screen reader command, I just press and 
hold the accent key with what ever key I want, such as t for Window title.

I’ve tried this now with JAWS, NVDA and Narrator on the Windows VM while 
running VoiceOver on the Mac and so far it is working well.  I can control both 
screen readers (Windows and Mac) and use just the MacBook’s standard keyboard.

The only customization I had to do in the end was open Fusion preferences, 
choose Keyboard and Mouse and then the profile my VMs use and add this one 
extra keyboard mapping.

Hi,

For large lists such as this, I prefer to use the conversation view.  I think 
the answer is no, but is there any method of configuring mail settings such 
that you can have the subject before the long list of who has sent messages in 
the conversation when it is collapsed.  This can sometimes be 10 or more names.

In the short term, I am using a bluetooth keyboard with a numeric keypad and

Beyond that, Fusion is working well to run multiple Windows VMs.

Capslock and VMWare Fusion

Hi,

 

I believe I’ve read solutions to get the Capslock key to work on Windows when 
running under Fusion on the Mac.  Could someone remind me what options might 
exist when doing this on a Macbook Pro so I can control a Windows screen reader 
without using a full sized keyboard?

 

Thank you for any pointers here.

Two thinks, Kelly, that you’ve probably already done but just in case:

 

1. JAWS, particularly, as you know, has the Sound Card option as one of the 
things in the Utilities folder. See if there’s more than just the default 
Windows sound card as an option.

2. With your VM running, you should be able to do CTRL+Opt+Right to get to 
devices, interact with them and make sure the sound card is present there.

 

Not sure if this will help but thought I’d suggest anyhow.

booted from an ISO for the most current release of Windows 10.  I was able to 
get Narrator to start to do the Windows install but have no speech.  I do have 
the sounds Narrator makes when moving around and such just not the voice.

Re: Windows Audio wit VM Fusion

2019-06-23 Thread kelly ford
This is very perplexing.  I have installed the VMWare tools, after using 
sighted help to get through setup.  This has no change.

 

I hear all the sounds from Windows but no screen reader speech.  I’ve now 
installed JAWS, NVDA and tried Narrator.

 

I can play music on the virtual machine and hear that.

Re: Adjusting Individual Audio Sources on the Mac

Hi Robert,

 

Is it possible this program was renamed?  So far the only program by the

editor/converter.

Hi Kelly,

 

There is an app from Rogue Amoeba called SoundSource that will almost certainly 
do what you want.

 

This is an application that lives in the extras menu. At the moment, there is a 
VoiceOver bug that keeps the VoiceOver option+control+space command from 
opening the SoundSource window. So, you have to click the trackpad to open the 
program from the extras menu. I have reported this and it will be fixed in an 
update.

So far as I’m aware, Nemeth Code is supported under iOS, but not Mac OS. On the 
Mac, you’ll get a braille representation of the text as it would be spoken.

 

Whether Apple’s recently announced enhancements to braille support will change 
this (immediately or subsequently) is not publicly known. I would recommend 
taking this up with Apple Accessibility. If they don’t receive comments on it, 
it’s less likely to be given significant priority.

Hi,

 

To accomplish this, when the FaceTime call connects, the Notification Centre 
opens a dialog with some items, including Mute, End, the time elapsed, and 
image as well as the caller name if available.  You'll need to navigate to 
either the image, the caller title, or the time elapsed items and VO-space on 
them.  Now, you can enter the digits using the numbers on your keyboard.  
There's not a field per se, just the tones will be accepted.

Dialing Digits When on a Call in Facetime

2019-02-26 Thread Kelly Ford
Hi,

 

Can someone give me a pointer on how to dial digits after a call is
connected if I'm using Facetime on the Mac?  Apple support indicates you
should just be able to type the extra digits but that doesn't seem to
work.Do I need to get VO focus into a certain area?

Re: Screen Recording with Voiceover Audio

2018-12-15 Thread kelly ford
Hi,

 

I had asked about this originally.  What I was hoping to do was use the 
built-in recording you get with cmd+shift+f5 on the Mac to include VoiceOver 
audio. I can turn on the microphone and pick VoiceOver up a bit from the 
speakers but was trying to find a setting to include system audio directly. I 
want to record activity from apps on the Mac, not an iPhone.

Hi,
This is totally doable on iOS if you also have a Mac.  You can connect the iOS 
device to your Mac with the USB charging cable.  Go to QuickTime on your Mac 
and choose "New Movie Recording" from the file menu.  In the resulting window, 
VO-space on the "Show Capture Devices" pop-up and select the iPad or iPhone for 
both video and audio capturing.  By default, the volume seems to always be 
muted, so VO-left to the Full Volume button and press it.  Finally, VO-right to 
the Start Recording button and press it. Because you are doing a movie 
recording, you get both the video and audio from the iOS device recorded by 
QuickTime.   Press the Stop button to end the recording and edit/trim/save your 
product.
This appears to be more challenging on the Mac.  I can use an app called 
Reflector to capture the video content, but the VoiceOver Audio is more 
challenging.  I've got some ideas, but need to round up a cable or two to test 
before I make any commitments as to its usability.  The audio and video is 
mirrored when using Reflector and an iOS device, but I haven't bothered messing 
with recording this way yet.
HTH.

Including System Audio In Screen Recording

2018-12-03 Thread kelly ford
Hi,

 

Is there any option to include system audio when doing a screen recording from 
the Mac? I find an option to choose the microphone but so far no option to 
include system audio.

 

So far the way I have done this is to connect the computer to a USB sound card 
that can send system audio back to the computer as microphone input and that 
works fine unless I’m not near that device.  It isn’t portable.

 

I’m doing the screen recording with the command+shift+5 option.

 

Kelly

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

2018-12-01 Thread kelly ford


Hello,

Yes the volume is up and again
If I play Music or other audio as well as any sounds a screen readers make I 
hear that already. Also, if I switch to a USB sound card, the screen reader 
audio kicks in just fine.

I guess for now I'll stay with VirtualBox and just avoid updating Windows or 
reapply an older snapshot as needed.

This one is a bit perplexing to me.

Hi,

I have checked the sound cards that the screen readers are configured for 
and all of that is correct.  So far I've not found any errors in logs.

I use virtual machines from both VMWare and VirtualBox daily on Windows but 
wanted to add a Mac to my environment for some work I'm doing and hopefully 
still have access to Windows on that machine.

If nothing else, I'll just stick to the USB sound card option.  That does 
work well.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but have you checked that the screen 
readers are configured for the default Windows sound device? They should be, 
but under the VM, it's still worth verifying just to be sure.

Do any relevant error messages appear in the Windows event logs?

I haven't tried a VM on the Mac, so I can't offer advice from experience.

Hi,

A new wrinkle has emerged here. I am curious if anyone else is

I used an ISO from Windows 10 version 1809 to create my virtual 
machine. Sound for the VM in general is working. However, Narrator text to 
speech does not seem to work correctly.

I can play music or other audio from the VM and it plays fine. In 
addition, when Narrator is running, I hear the sounds Narrator makes just not 
the speech.

I haven't tried other TTS, such as Eloquence with JAWS yet and am also

RE: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

2018-11-29 Thread Kelly Ford
The plot thickens!  Audio from JAWS and NVDA also does not work, although music 
and computer sounds all play fine.

Anyone who has resolved this sort of situation, any thoughts on what to try are 
appreciated.

Hi,

A new wrinkle has emerged here. I am curious if anyone else is experiencing 
this.

I used an ISO from Windows 10 version 1809 to create my virtual machine. Sound 
for the VM in general is working. However, Narrator text to speech does not 
seem to work correctly.

I can play music or other audio from the VM and it plays fine. In addition, 
when Narrator is running, I hear the sounds Narrator makes just not the speech.

I haven't tried other TTS, such as Eloquence with JAWS yet and am also 
following up with Narrator contacts.

VMWare Fusion Question or Two

2018-11-27 Thread kelly ford
Hi,

These are probably basic questions but if there is a pointer or other resource, 
I’d appreciate hearing about it. I am trying to get VMWare Fusion to run on a 
MacBook Pro and not having a lot of luck.  I launch the program and it opens 
but then stops responding. Eventually I force quit the program.

Does this generally work and if so any thoughts on what might be up? I’ve used 
VirtualBox successfully previously on the same machine.

The machine is fully updated to the latest Mac OS.

Thank you,

Kelly

RE: GPS Apps

2011-02-13 Thread Kelly Ford
For what it is worth, I was very disappointed in TomTom.  I found it
difficult to use with VO and found it was not possible to get turn
directions i.e. right/left.  I regret purchasing that app.

I've been pretty impressed with the Mapquest app.  Aside from address entry
being a bit tedious, the directions have been solid and for free I'm
surprised what the app does.

Greetings,

Perhaps those who believe  Navigon's interface to be overly abstruse might
consider posting which tasks they would like to perform and what steps they
tried rather than a general statement lacking specifics that might scare off
people who might otherwise find this app very useful.

Many of us who have Navigon are scratching our heads since it does not take
a technical wizard to ascertain, for example  that from the main screen one
can locate an address by selecting enter an address, or select: search
for a POI to start a business search.  VO identifies both of these as
buttons.

Best regards.

Managing Music Library Outside iTunes and Using within iTunes

2010-10-31 Thread Kelly Ford
Hello,

 

I have a mixture of Mac and Windows computers in my house and am trying to
figure out the best way to handle my music library so iTunes knows about the
music but where I don't want to manage the library in iTunes.

 

I keep the music in a directory that is shared so multiple computers in my
house can access the files.  In Windows I just point WMP Media Center and my
Squeezebox server to the folder as a place to look and when I addnew
content, WMP Squeezebox and Windows Media Center automatically update.  I
can tell iTunes to add files from this directory but that seems to be a
one-time action.  If I add new content, I need to tell iTunes to look at the
directory again.  This is both tedious and time consuming.  Is there a
better approach?

 

The reason I'm using iTunes at all is because I want to be able to put some
of the music on my iPhone.  If there's a better way to do this outside of
iTunes, I'd consider that too.  I do not use the Mac in the house for music
that often.

 

Kelly

Changing Instruments in Garage Band

2009-10-10 Thread Kelly Ford

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could give me a pointer on changing  
instruments in Garage Band?  I am using Snow Leopard and the software  
instrument option.  I am able to select the different checkboxes for  
instrument types and then interact with a table that lists items  
within a category.

But no matter what I seem to have selected, all I get used when I use  
the keyboard is a basic piano sound.

I've downloaded an update that says it has all the updated instruments  
and loops.

Also, how do you read the keyboard shortcuts and help in this app?   
They don't seem to read for me with VO.

I've read through some tutorials and such and am generally able to get  
around the app.

Kelly
