Re: The New Twitter Mobile for iOS Explore Feature Is Now VoiceOver Accessible

2017-02-05 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu

Hello Mark.

As usual you have posted something very useful as although I do use Twitter to 
highlight campaigns that RNIB do (as some of you know I work for them), I don't 
use twitter as I have no time for social media as I find social media boring as 
I have nothing to say and no one is interested in what I might say as far as 
I'm concerned.

I have had training using twitter but still have not mastered if I need to put 
the hash tags in the right places.

Thanks.

Kawal.

Re: Creating a bootible recovery for reinstalling sear?

2017-02-05 Thread Anne Robertson

Hello Matthew,

I just use Terminal for this. You need an 8 gb USB drive named Untitled for 
this to work.
Connect the USB drive then open Terminal and type in or copy and paste the 
following command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ 
Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled 
--applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app —nointeraction
Press Return and you’ll be asked for your password.
Give it plenty of time to do its thing. You’ll hear:
Erasing Disk: 0%… 10%… 20%…100%… Copying installer files to disk… Copy 
complete. Making disk bootable… Copying boot files… Copy complete. Done.
The resulting drive will be called Install macOS Sierra.

Cheers,

Anne

If Disk Maker produces the same kind of install disk, then yes, you’ll have

RE: Creating a bootible recovery for reinstalling sear?

2017-02-05 Thread Simon Fogarty

Yes it does,

You have to boot the machine to the USB I’d use the option key  at start up, 
just hold option down for approx. 20 seconds and then let it run for a while .

You then have to select the USB device as the start up option and then once it 
has run up you can start vo and use disk utilities  to format the existing 
drive and then reinstall from scratch.

Hi,  This is already done.  Here is the question.  Will this work with forating 
the internal  drive for reinstall.  I just used disk makerX for this.  I just 
wanted to be sure that It work for doing a clean install for erasing and 
repartitioning the drive if this makes any sense.

Hello Matthew,

I just use Terminal for this. You need an 8 gb USB drive named Untitled for 
this to work.
Connect the USB drive then open Terminal and type in or copy and paste the 
following command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ 
Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled 
--applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app —nointeraction
Press Return and you’ll be asked for your password.
Give it plenty of time to do its thing. You’ll hear:
Erasing Disk: 0%… 10%… 20%…100%… Copying installer files to disk… Copy 
complete. Making disk bootable… Copying boot files… Copy complete. Done.
The resulting drive will be called Install macOS Sierra.

Cheers,

Anne

Hi all,

Last night, I downloaded recovery disk assistant from 
support.apple.com, but when I tried to runn it,  It 
freezes and I just get recovery disk assistant has no windows and I have to 
force quit the app.  I now I have a bootable install thanks to disk makerX but 
would ideally like to have a copy of the recovery on my usb drive.

Here is my question, Is anyone still using recovery disk assistant to make a 
boogiele usb recovery or is disk makerX good enough.  I would like to do a 
clean install, but want to be sure that what I have will work before I use it.  
Also, If I do use the usb installer if lets say something happens and I had to 
reinstall,  willl it give me a copy of the latexes version of sear or will I 
have to get it through software update?  I did listen to mike area’s podcast on 
upgrading and he used recovery disk assistant to make a bootable recovery but 
on my machine It doesn’t work.  Thanks again for everyone’s help in advance..

Matthew
