Re: Word processor?

You can go to https://live.com and get a free account from Microsoft. You
can then use Word online for free. It also includes all the other apps as
well as OneDrive.

Re: VoiceOver with Google Chrome?

2015-02-10 Thread rashantha de silva 
You can make Safari masquerade as Chrome.

Safari  Preferences  Advanced Tab  Check the box Show develop menu bar
Then you will see a develop menu next to Bookmark.

You can now change how the internet sees your Safari Browser.
Let me know if it works.

 Thanks to TD Bank's hatred of Safari, and their assumption that everyone will 
 just use Chrome anyway (no seriously, the rep actually said that), I have to 
 use Chrome to access my banking site. The problem is that Chrome and 
 VoiceOver seem to have a rather rocky relationship. VO reads things, but 
 can't navigate by heading, table, etc. it also reads every link and button as 
 collapsed, which makes no sense.
 
 I could deal with all that, but here's the big problem: I'm randomly dumped 
 out of the webpage content altogether, which makes this browser very 
 difficult to use at best. I can't find where my account information is, I 
 can't get to it by heading, and as I vo-arrow through the page, I could, at 
 any time, find myself out of the page completely and moving around the Chrome 
 window.
 
 Do I need to use Chromevox and disable vO? If so, please tell me Chromevox is 
 easy to learn and use. How would I enable it, and will it be good enough to 
 let me read account history and the like on this site?

Re: fusion drive?

2012-12-11 Thread rashantha de silva 
Making sure Trim Support is enabled in your SSD will provide longer life for 
the SSD.

We will be coming out with Fusion drives that you can connect to Mac Towers as 
well as our QUO machines.

http://facebook.com/quocomputer

But you are correct that they have a finite cycle. That is why we are coming 
out with fusion drives where the SSDs can be replaced so that your data will 
remain in tact.

 Dear listers,
 
 I'm thinking about buying a mac mini, to replace my old windows box that

 Some are still alive after 8 years of continuous spinning 24 7. I heard that 
 the flash memory though, which is also part of a fusion drive in the newer 
 mac machines, have a finite number of reads and writes, typically around 2 to 
 3 years. Is there anything clever to say about a fusion drive? Would a fusion 
 drive be more likely to die early than a regular hard drive? I'm wondering 
 weather or not to get that fusion drive. Any advice?
 
 Thanks in advance,

There are 4 commands you have to run. So copy the complete lines.

4 commands - each line starts with sudo

it will ask you to enter the password after the first command - when you type 
your password no characters will show.

Re: Is it possible to install another operating system on a USB drive with the Mac?

2012-08-27 Thread rashantha de silva 
Yeah this is very possible.
Sorry I just saw this, kinda late. :)

Check the Ubuntu site and also check up on Refit.

If you run into problems let me know

 This discussion of setting up folders reminded me of a question I've had for 
 a long time. Coming from the Windows world, when I'd go into my documents

 in alphabetical order. It drives me crazy having the file and folder names 
 all mixed up together like this. Is there any way to sort things so that I 
 see folders first? Just curious. Thanks.

Re: Organizing files and folders

2012-08-08 Thread rashantha de silva 
Hi Veronica
There is no easy way to do this. I could probably write a script to do this and 
If I do I will post it.

You have to edit the InfoPlist.strings file of the Finder.app

It is located in HD  System  Library  Core services  Finder.app (show 
package contents)  Resources  InfoPlist.strings

You have to edit the text Finder =  Folder; (add a space)

Re: Scary MBP

2012-07-22 Thread rashantha de silva 
Look in System Pref  Energy Saver  Schedule  you may have turned the 
scheduling system where it starts the computer up at a given time.

 Hi all,
 
 I'm just wondering what causes my MBP to turn on all by itself after having 
 been  off for several hours. It's a little un-nerving to be sitting at your 
 desk minding your own business on your Windows machine when all of a sudden 
 the MBP lights up and plays it's startup sound.
 
 This happened to me a couple of times in a row with several hours in between 
 the other night.  Here I am a day and a half later and going to the MBP, and 
 finding it, - you got it, already turned on and booted up to my desktop when 
 I lifted the lid.  I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that 
 I forgot that I had it plugged into the AC all that time, meaning over the 
 last couple of days.
 
 While I'm thinking of it, perhaps I should ask if leaving it plugged in does 
 any harm to anything.  I don't think so but maybe I'm wrong about that.
 
 Thanks for any input on this  scary situation.

have you tried booting from an external drive FW.

Re: Question about drives and time machine

2012-07-08 Thread rashantha de silva 
Stacey
I assume you are using Time Machine for backups. You can store what you like on 
the drive. To move your music look at iTunes prefs  Advanced tab it will show 
the path to your music. Just google moving my itunes library to an external 
drive.

You haven't indicated how your 2tb is connected. That would be helpful.

Hope that helps a bit.

 Hi all,
 I now have a drive for backing up my mac running SnowLeopard. I've backed it 
 up successfully.
 This drive is a 2TB drive. Can I also store files on the drive such as music?
 Do I need to do something so that my backups are in a different place?
 If so what do I need to do and how do I do it?
 Step by step instructions are appreciated.
 Thanks,
