Re: Mail has no windows.
If you aren't getting busy signals and it's just that you accidentally closed your window, in Mail you can do cmd-option-n to open a new window; in fact, I often do this just when I want to go back and forth between two mailboxes for some reason quickly and repeatedly though of course I can also do this with favorites. In safari, if you have no windows but nothing is actually wrong, cmd-n will open a window.

Re: Mail has no windows.
What kind of computer are you using? Could you accidentally be hitting something on the trackpad? Or is there any way the command key is getting hit somehow when you type a w? There has to be an explanation of some kind even if I haven't hit on it. If you were getting busy signals or something crashed I could understand it but for you to get no windows in two different applications when typing may suggest that something is being accidentally engaged. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Calibres ebook-converter
i saw these posts about calibre. I had tried it once before but found it inaccessible and didn't know it could be run from the commandline. I just reinstalled it and still find it pretty much inaccessible with voiceover though I did manage to select a location for the folder. But everything in the menus is dimmed.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
I had little bit of trouble with this website in safari but found that if I changed settings in voiceover utility web, I could navigate the table. But I'm having trouble telling whether or not my discount is being applied. Next to the filled-in coupon it says enter coupon button. I didn't know whether this was if yu wanted to enter another coupon or to confirm that one but whether I hit that button or not, the prices stayed the same. So I'm sitting here on the Paypal website trying to decide whether to put this through or not. I do a lot of shopping online so hopefully I'm not just failing to look closely enough. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

These books are DRM-free, and are available in both PDF and ePub versions.

For Mac users, titles such as Take Control of Apple Mail in Mountain Lion, Take Control of Using Mountain Lion, Take Control of Troubleshooting Your Mac, Second Edition, Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal (for learning to use Terminal and unix concepts), Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac, and Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network, Third Edition (for general Wi-Fi setups and use) might be of interest. These guides are very hands on and practical; some of them have information that I've never found anywhere else. If you log in through their special anniversary sale link, the coupon code should get filled in automatically.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
Okay, here's what I did. I started where it says buy selected books button. i tabbed through the titles and hit the spacebar only (not vo-space) to check the boxes. I was able to simply hit enter/return on the category choice; I wanted to see all books. But since I was then at the bottom of the list i had to use shift-tab to go through the books and then hit space only to check items. Then on the cart page, if you aren't seeing your total and couplon discount, use the item chooser and you will see those things. If you are paying with paypal and it says it needs a billing address to process your order, just keep going and when you are taken back to the website you will be able to complete the purchase with no problem. Admittedly it's a horrible website for accessibility if you don't know what to do, but it is actually quite workable once you figure it out. I was able to use it to purchase nearly $100 worth of books but I justify it by telling myself it would have been close to $200 without the discount. Mouse keys is not necessary at all on the website and since I'm known for using mouse keys often the fact that I passed up an opportunity to employ them means they really aren't needed - grin! -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
When I used tab and shift-tab, the checkbox and the title of the book were associated so that I didn't have any problem telling what I was ordering. They were spoken together and as long as I didn't try to use vo-keys but just the space bar, each checkbox was checked though it didn't say checked when i pressed the space bar. I was able to fill my cart with 15 items all at once correctly by using this method. I was using the anniversary link that Esther provided but when I saw that this was only one category I went on to all books and added more books without losing the checkmarks on the books I had already chosen. Wile tabbing, I don't remember whether I was able to do vokeys-space on buy selected books or if I had to just hit enter. But I don't know whether I had any particular setting in safari that made tabbing work for me and the method suggested by others certainly also would work.

How to download ebooks from christianbook.com
Okay, I hope everybody will excuse that I am going to post this to three lists but at least I am going to send separately to each list. I thought this might be really helpful to some who may have been as frustrated as I was. I have bought several ebooks from Christianbook.com. I could read them online but aside from a copy-and-paste procedure that only worked on Snow Leopard below 10.6.8, I could not download the books to my computer. Also, when I tried it with Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 on my computer in Windows, the fact that i had ADE installed wasn't even recognized but if I allowed the ADE to be installed from Christianbook.com in Windows it was inaccessible. Trying to download from the Mac was really frustrating because you could see the message to close the window from the flash player but couldn't access the link to download the item. I emailed Christianbook specifically about updating their version of ADE and they wrote back suggesting I right-click. So I decided to try this on the Mac. To my dismay, setting a keyboard commander command for right click did not work even though I had the mouse lined up correctly; it just dinged at me. Doing vo-shift-m brought up a seven item menu which didn't include downloading the linked file. Finally, I went into System Preferences Trackpad and under the point and click tab, I changed the secondary click menu to click in bottom right corner. This time when i lined up my mouse on the download link for a book and pressed the bottom right corner of the trackpad, and eight-item menu opened with both download linked file and another to save as. I have now tried this with three books and two times it downloaded the actual epub file. One time it downloaded the urllink file which downloaded the epub when opened in ADE. I hope this will be as helpful to somebody else as it was to me. I have spent the greater part of the last two days stewing over this and trying to get something to work to download ebooks from this site. I no longer need to cling to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on my old mac mini which threatens never to start up again every time I shut it down! I again apologize for posting this to three lists but I know that some people only subscribe to one of these. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Some more questions about Windows 7 on the Mac
I've had Windows xp running in vmware fusion on my macbook pro. Now i have just purchased Windows 7 and it will be here on Friday. I did follow the earlier bootcamp thread but I have some additional questions. 1. Can i install Windows 7 with vmware fusion to initially play with it and then reactivate it after I install it using bootcamp as long as I'm not going to try to use the same key both with vmware and its separate partition once I have it installed separately? 2. Somebody mentioned importing an installation from vmware to the bootcamp installation. is this possible and does it require less sighted help? Are there other caveats of which I should be aware if I decide to do that? 3. If i want to use my multi-link bluetoot keyboard with Windows in the bootcamp partition, can I do this? I realize this will be a full-fledged Windows installation but I wondered if the drivers involved include bluetooth support. 4. When I go to install Window-eyes in the bootcamp Windows partition and windoweyes says it has to reboot to start the install, will it automatically restart in Windows or will I have to use the option key to make sure it does so if I have Macos as the default? Maybe I should just make Windows the default while i'm doing the windoweyes install just to keep things less complicated? I won't need to hurry to install windoweyes as I also have System Access.

Re: need help with fusion error.
Hopefully you won't have to create the vm again. However, just in case you do, here is a tip: If you have a version of the vm on your backup - for instance, I know that superduper completely backs it up - you can delete the folder for that virtual machine in ~/Documents/Virtual Machines. the defective virtual machine. Then you can drag and drop your backup version in finder to the Virtual Machines window. As I recall, you then have to open it in finder before it actually shows up again as a virtual machine in your virtual machine library. You only lose whatever you did since the last backup. Of course this is assuming that re-introduction of the backup doesn't give you the same error. It really seems that this should be fixable in settings as Mike says but I would have been furious if I had needed to reinstall Windows XP over again! -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: downloading actual youtube videos?
I don't bother with trying to download from youtube usually. I just turn on recording for safari in audio hijack pro with recording set to remove silence (there's a decibel level setting and duration for this). Then I go into safari and activate the link to what I want to record and I frankly think it comes out sounding just as good as if I had downloaded it. But I admit I'm not trying to do anything highly professional with the recording.

Re: Boot Camp and 10.8.2
I'm not so nonchalant and forgiving about it. I can do the Apple part without sighted assistance; I can install on my Mac and install on linux on my own. But i can't install Windows by myself?! I do plan to bootcamp Windows 7 eventually but right now I am in the process of installing it in vmware fusion, soley because Windows is the one system I use that doesn't allow me to install it on my own. i would prefer my choices to be really my choices, not ones forced on me by the inaccessibility of a system! But I am thankful that at least vmware does allow me to install Windows independently! At least it allowed me to install xp independently and I'm about to find out about Windows 7. And despite my unhappiness with the inaccessibility of the install, I really am looking forward to learning Windows 7 now that I've decided to finally leave xp behind! -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Victor Reader Stream and vmware fusion
I hope this isn't too far offtopic but I saw posts on this topic from 2010 when I googled so I'm hoping maybe somebody has figured this out since then. i've had this problem with every Stream I've had - one for my daughter and two for me! i can connect my Stream just fine in Mac OS, but I cannot connect it in Windows Xp and now in Windows 7 in vmware fusion though they do connect on a Windows pc. Vmware recognizes the Stream by name and asks where I want to connect it but after I choose, it never actually connects as far as Windows is concerned. I rarely really need to connect the Stream directly, only if I had a new Stream and had to activate it in Audible or maybe if I ever wanted to use Humanware Companion. But it drives me crazy! I have other devices that connect in Windows with vmware but just not the Stream. It's one of the few reasons why I am considering doing bootcamp eventually though it's not the biggest reason. I called Humanware about this once and was just vaguely told that they had heard of it happening with some computer setups. Does anybody have any ideas about what to do about this? it isn't crucial most of the time, but I'd sure like to solve it.

Re: MacBook Pro changing timezones
you don't have to interact with the map at all. There's a time zone button to the right of the map and a combo box for nearest city. At any rate, if you do a down arrow on the combo box and then hit enter on the city you want, you can change the city. In fact, once you do the down arrow and vo says interacting with list, one item selected, you can start typing the name of your city and it will either give you choices accordingly or you can finish typing. Once you hit enter after choosing or typing the city you want, stop interacting with vokeys-shift up arrow.

Here goes. first I assume your MBP has a CD/DVD drive? if not then I can't help you. if so, then, run bootcamp assistant, check the box for installing windows and uncheck the box for downloading the bootcamp drivers as you already have them. On the next screen, set the partition size for bootcamp. I just pressed divide equally which gives equal sizes to both Mac and Bootcamp windows. If you want, you can interact with the divider or splitter thingy and change the size of each partition as you like. Now, insert your windows7 installation CD into the CD/DVD drive and press install. Bootcamp assistant will create the bootcamp (windows7) partition and reboot into the windows installer. Now, you need sighted assistance because there's no VO, and no way to have speech until you complete the windows instal. Get someone who's computer literate, preferably someone who uses windows7 all the time and can easily get around the screens with a mouse or the keyboard. In other words, don't ask your 90 year old grandmother for sighted assistance. Once windows7 is fully installed and setup, insert the bootcamp drivers CD and install them. Finally, you can install a screen reader and windows will come up talking. You'll Need: 1) your windows7 CD and the Product Key at the ready. 2) the bootcamp drivers CD. 3) your screen reader and its product key. I burned jaws12 installer package onto a CD and had the registration key ready. I think that's about it. Check out Black Viper's windows7 installation guide thoroughly - it'll give you an idea of the steps involved in the win7 install. Also, very important, during the win7 install, at the Disk Drives screen where you're asked where you want to install windows, you MUST select the Bootcamp partition that the assistant created. And, you must check the box that says to Format thwe partition. Read the appropriate section in the bootcamp install guide for more info on that. Once you're past that screen, the remainder of the win7 install is fairly straightforward. I had the BlackViper tutorial up on another machine and used it to follow along step-by-step with my sighted assistant as he went through the win7 install screens, so I know what he was doing.

upgrading vmware fusion
Has somebody gone through the upgrading process for vmware fusion?

Re: a friend having issues with Mail in Mountain Lion
These are not specifically issues having to do with threads and conversations. I am using the new standard mail, not the classical view, but I am not using any kind of threading. I find that I often have messages that don't appear to be deleted and then when I finally go completely out of the messages table and column I finally hear that the table is empty. I find this annoying and it definitely slows me down! I used to just be able to give the delete key a tap and the message was gone; now that doesn't happen a lot of the time and i'm always concerned that I may not know where the focus is and another email may have been deleted instead of the one I was trying to delete. While I like the feature that has lines read when a message comes in or when I am in the index, this can interrupt me when I'm reviewing something else in the index. It is no longer as snappy and quick to run through a bunch of mail as it used to be. I'm actually threatening to take most of my mail reading either to the iPhone and/or back to Alpine in linux on vmware fusion. Of course, part of the appeal of going back to Alpine is that I have braille with my braillelite 40 in the vmware fusion environment ( I sure wish these old serial devices could be full-fledged Mac players but I realize they are old technology) but part of it is that mail on my mac, while still quite doable, isn't as easy as it used to be. I kind of thought i must be doing something that wasn't the best practice and hadn't researched this so hadn't said anything on a list yet. I even tried hitting enter and then tabbing to delete but that is unnecessarily slow in my opinion. I realize this post isn't that helpful as I have no actual suggestions to give, but I didn't realize quite how frustrated I am with the Apple mail situation until I saw this post so I'm venting a little, and when I get going you get extra irrelevant data at no extra cost, unless you are paying for the download of my complaining. Don't get me wrong; I love my Mac and it is now my primary OS, but mail sometimes really annoys me when I'm trying to run rapidly through a bunch of messages. I've even considered whether the fact that I am using imap contributes to this, but since I am using mail on two iPhones, my Macbook pro, and sometimes Alpine in linux, it makes more sense to use imap. Okay I'm done; you can all take your hands down off your ears now without fear of losing precious hearing from listening to me yell! -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Hello all, My name is Amber and I'm having some problems with Mac Mail in Mountain lion. I am using Gmail along with Mac mail. I have set up Gmail with its accompanying folders. I find that I am having trouble with voiceover in the conversations that I have created in Mac mail. I like the option to thread my replies, but I am finding that voiceover repeats the conversation disclosure triangle quite a bit when I arrow through messages. In addition, I am also having trouble deleting emails within threads. Sometimes when I use the backspace key, the messages within the threads are deleted. However, sometimes they are not, or the messages seem to be deleted, but the same message is read to me a few times. It is almost as if voiceover cannot catch up with my deletion of certain messages within the thread although I am not deleting them very quickly. In order for them to be permanently deleted, I have to hit command and W and close the entire thread. Another issue I am having is that sometimes command delete will delete the message and sometimes it will not. There are a few things that I have done to try to fix this problem. I have removed my Gmail account and put it back onto Mac mail. I have also gone into the view menu and changed it to classic mail view.. In the mail preferences under the view tab, list previews are turned off. Show headers is also said to none. Include all messages is also unchecked. Mark own messages as read this unchecked. Should this be checked? I am running Mountain lion OS 10 on a MacBook. Not a pro. It is about two years old. I have done all updates to Mountain lion just today. I have also noted that voiceover is a bit sluggish on my machine. Sometimes it takes a while to catch up to what I'm doing. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciated.

Problem with lagging in Mail definitely seems to be speech-related
If anybody is having the problem with Mail in which messages do not seem to delete immediately, it definitely appears to me to be a problem with voiceover's speech either not being able to keep up or interrupt itself and go on to the next item. When I use braille and mut voiceover, I have no problems with this issue at all. I'm also thinking that using less lines of preview of the messages may help but I haven't gotten around to changing this in Mail preferences yet to try this. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Mac Mini from 2007 - How can I use it?
if you put it up to 2gb, you could put Lion on it but not Mountain Lion. Then you can just use it as an extra. I have a mid-2007 one myself but it has a problem with not always wanting to start; I may break down and get the logic board replaced because I have a friend who really needs a computer. I know before Mountain Lion came out people were looking for computers that would run Snow Leopard but Mountain Lion probably alleviated that somewhat. I read an article though that warned of the dangers of running old OSes once there aren't any more security updates. I hate letting go of old computers; I always try to find something to do with them. I have two old Thinkpad T23s and a Thinkpad t61 sitting here running linux and yes, you could run linux on your mini. It always seems sort of wrong to me to get rid of a machine that is still working so I either keep using them or I try to find homes for them with people who understand that they are already very used and there are no guarantees. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Setting up mac mini?
As I recall, the mouse doesn't require a password and neither does the trackpad, though neither of those would help us much right out of the box. Also, part of the original idea of the Mac mini, as I recall, was that people would buy it and share the already-existing Windows keyboard and mouse with the Mac mini. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Mac Mini from 2007 - How can I use it?
When I used the scan tool on crucial, it said I could only upgrade it to 2gb of ram. Also, if I remember correctly it isn't in the list of ML-compatible computers. You might be able to do it; I thought about trying it but I think it would be on the edge as far as workability in ML even if you did manage to install it. This is the mid-2007 mini I am referring to.

Re: iMac Temperature
Also to clarify: there is a larger software program called hardware monitor that does a number of things. Temperature monitor itself can be downloaded separately and is free. I thought I should point it out because when you go to the website you almost immediately hear something about full software, not an app; definitely not available on the app store. Then it goes on to explain if you keep looking. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: mac restarted again...
Well, if Windows doesn't reboot and still stayed up and useable, one would think it would be a software or setting problem on your Mac side rather than a power supply problem. But I seem to remember that you've checked all your settings and maybe you reinstalled the Mac side too but I don't remember that for sure. The only thing I can think of, short of taking it somewhere, would be to completely reinstall everything - Mac, Windows, etc. and reinstall it all. But I know that's not a welcome suggestion given that one still has to have help to install Windows from a sighted person. Is there anything that you use or have plugged in when using the Mac side that you don't for the Windows side? Of course, it could be something on your logic board; I don't know if that would also affect both sides or not. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: still no luck with Audible.com
Okay, i've done this just now and will tell you what to do step by step. 1. Go to audible.com. 2. Tap visit the mobile store 3. Tap the sign in to audible link. 4. If you see a return to webpage link or button, tap that. If instead you see an address with signin.htm on the end but don't see form fields for your username and password, tap reload. i'm giving both instructions because it seems to vary. I'm sure there are reasons for the variance but don't have time to sort that out now. 5. Now you should see the form fields and should be able to sign in. I did this successfully. If this still doesn't work for you, email and explain what you are seeing on the page and what step youare on and I'll try to clarify. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: a little stuck updating Infovox
No the greyed-out stuff is because you are in a preliminary window which gives you a link to the website and explains something about the voice manager. I think if you uncheck open at startup you won't get that window the next time you open the voice manager. But for now, close that window and you will be in the voices manager. Then in the menus go to check for updates. You'll get a warning that the voices manager is running and needs to quit for the update (not exact words). This morning i just did continue and I don't think it updated. This afternoon I actually quit the manager and then it updated. You have to watch with this program though because at least in my experience there were some alert windows that came up and I didn't see them until I used my window chooser to check. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: all well with Infovox update.
Well, this is kind of strange. I downloaded Ella and started the demo. I was promptly warned that the demo voices require an Internet connection and to make sure I'm connected to the internet when the voice is being used. That's all very good and well! But what if your Internet goes down, unbeknowns to you, while running the demo? In the past, if a trial period ran out or for some reason you reinstalled on your computer and didn't have the license in on a voice, it would repeat its introductory sentences and I think maybe say something about not being installed ad infinitum while you tried to manage to navigate to voiceover utility and change the voice. That wouldn't be very pleasant if that's the way it still works so I don't know if I want to use a demo voice and be stuck trying to fix a problem. It used to be that the demos had a time limit but you weren't required to be connected to the Internet to use them if I recall correctly. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: mac restarted again, despite all the fixes
The only thing is: if you want to do a restore instead of a clean install, even of just the Mac side, you want to be sure that whatever is causing the problem just doesn't get reinstalled or set again. So if it were me, I would lean to erasing the Mac partition and clean installing instead of any kind of restore. Then you can maybe troubleshoot what causes the problem if it starts happening again. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Finder's oddities causing problems for a new user
Why are you using cmd-shift-g and typing? Just open the window the books are coming from and open the window they are going to. Then Do cmd-c to copy and cmd-accent to go to the other window and cmd-v to paste. And i suspect if your view is changing, there's a reason; I could be wrong but I don't think it's an oddity that happens without reason.

Re: Finder's oddities causing problems for a new user
Okay, Now I see why you are using cmd-shift-g. I think if you just opened the drive on the desktop it might ultimately be easier and your view shouldn't change. But if you think it's easier to do cmd-shift-g, you can type part of the / Vol and tab and it will complete and you can just do the whole path from there. You probably know what I mean but type: /Vaol (tab) yourdrive (tab), etc. Then if you need to access it more than once, you just leave the window open and cmd-accent to it. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: An Update From Assistiveware Regarding Infovox Ivox Demo Voices
No, I had the same problem and wrote them about it too and they told me the

know that I like them. Their customer service is usally very helpful.

## Reply ABOVE THIS LINE to add a note to this request ##
Request update View the complete request
Dear Shawn,
We're investigating the problem at the moment. The cause may be in the
internet connection. Since the hurricane the connection to eastern US is not
that good. Infovox iVox has a one minute time-out on contacting the server
for demo purposes. This may be too fast at the moment.
I would like to ask you some additional questions. If you could take the
time to answer them this would be great.
- Did you upgrade from Infovox iVox version 3.0, or was Infovox iVox 3.1 a
new installation of your computer.
- Did you stop and restart the application that says this is an evaluation
version? This might be Voice Over.
- Did you restart the computer, and if so, does the problem persist after
the restart?
With kind regards,
Martijn

Re: Another Update About Infovox Demo Voices
I wasn't running any of those. Plus it would be ridiculous to bother with a demo if you have to be that careful. Their demos in the past haven't done this and their demos in the past didn't require an Internet connection. Also, they say that this doesn't happen with the voices once they are purchased. If I understood correctly, the demos used to be exactlyu the same as the regular functioning of the voices except for the fact that they quit after thirty days; I don't understand why they should be now working any differently than if you had purchased the voice. The purpose in a thirty-day demo should be to make sure the voice really works with your system. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Purchasing Infovox

You buy the credits first and then apply them to buy a specific voice in the infovox ivox voice manager. You didn't specify whether or not you have the infovox ivox voice manager; I would think it would have been installed when you downloaded the demo but I'm not sure. Look in /Applications.

Re: What gives with Spotlight and opening documents with the new software update?
It may be that somehow your keyboard focus has gotten messed up. Try turning voiceover off and on again. Also, are you opening from spotlight with vo-keys or just with return. I always open items from spotlight with return only; to use vo-keys-space requires that both your voiceover cursor and your keyboard cursor be on the menu item and this isn't always the case. Finally, sometimes when i hit enter on an item in spotlight I'll hear something that makes it sounds like I'm ending up somewhere else: for instance, something about one of my menu extras. But when I arrow down in the window i am in, I find that I have indeed had Text Edit open the file.

Re: TextEdit becomes unusable after sending selected text to it.
I agree it should work since it is an available option but I've always thought that was too much work so I've never done it that way. I just select my text, copy it, cmd-tab to text edit or open it from dock if it isn't opened, and pasted.

Re: Importing CDs in to iTunes
First of all, you should check each cd before you let it be imported. It's possible for iTunes to identify a cd incorrectly and also, the database may come up with several possibilitiies from which you have to choose. If you know that your cd is being misidentified, you can use cmd-i on all the tracks together and enter the correct information for the album manually before importing and also can do each of the tracks individually for a cd. Or you could wait until you have imported the cd and then select all the tracks to put the album information in. But if you wait until all the hundreds of cds have been imported, it will be a much more difficult job. I understand the problem somewhat as I have a slightly different but related one. I unfortunately didn't have the foresight to know that someday iTunes would come along. So several years before iTunes became accessible, before I even owned a Mac, I ripped all my cds and then gave the cds away to friends. That was okay except that iTunes, when I began using it, was not able to identify a lot of my ripped material correctly; apparently the id tag information was done differently. So to this day I don't have a lot of my music in iTunes because it would be too scrambled up and I don't have the time to spend straightening it out. Since you have original cds, as long as you proceed with your importing systematically, I would think you shouldn't have such a drastic problem. This is as much as i know and probably others on list will have more detailed advice. I would just say: Proceed with caution as you import each cd.

Re: finding mp3 imports in iTunes
If they were imported they would be harder to find without an artist and album. If you arrange your library according to the date added the most recently added files will be either at the bottom or the top in your music library. You do this by getting on the date added column and doing vokeys-c to make sure you are on the right column and then doing vo-shift-backslash if you want to order by that column. You may just be able to look down the column to find the right date without rearranging anything. If you don't have a date added in the music browser, do cmd-j for the viewing options and check the date added box and then press ok or just press return. If you aren't in the music browser view, you change this by doing vokeys-m and going over to the view column and changing to this; there might be a quicker way to change to that view but I can't think of it right now.

Then use VO-J or else navigate with your arrow keys to the list of tracks, which will appear in the chronological order they were added to iTunes. Use VO-J again to jump back to the smart playlist in the sources list. The Recently Added smart playlist contains all tracks added to iTunes in the last two weeks that are not flagged as podcasts. You can modify the criteria in the rules section to change this (e.g. to make this tracks added in the last day, or over a specific date range) by using the context menu (VO-Shift-M) when focused on this smart playlist to choose the option to edit the smart playlist. Alternatively, you can create your own smart playlist based on date added and any tag information you may have. You can also identify the untagged tracks by pressing space bar to play/pause tracks in your smart playlist, then arrow down to the next and use space bar to play/pause the next track.

Re: Mactubes
No, it really doesn't have to be that complicated. First of all, read the help tags for your buttons and label them. Secondly, there is no need to put the url in unless you don't want to do a search. Just search and start playing. when you find the one you want to download, do vo-shift-m on the player menu button (I don't remember whether or not I had to label it but you can find out what it is using the help tags.

backing up files from my Mac to dvds
It has been quite a while since i did backups to dvd of a lot of my media files and also various document files so I have decided to do a complete new set. In the past I have kept the text and document files separate from the media files and have figured out which files can fit for each dvd and then I have run the burn. None of these files are in iTunes. I want to know if there is either a way on the Mac or an accessible program I can get to automate this process as far as filling up dvds. In other words, I'd like to be able to pick out the folders and files I want to burn and then I'd like to be able to start the burn and have the first dvd fill up and then be told to insert another dvd to continue instead of having to figure out the logistics of each dvd myself. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: backing up files from my Mac to dvds
Thanks much. Actually I'm doing Time Machine and superduper though I'm a little leery of Time Machine now because last time i wanted to restore it cranked away for a few hours and then announced it couldn't restore from that backup. But I'd also like some backups that are something other than external drives. I know iTunes will spread a playlist over multiple cds but I'm not so sure about what happens if you try this from finder.

It's been a long time since I used CDs or DVDs for backups but I vaguely recall that it would spread what you've got over multiple disks. Worth a shot. At worst you waste one piece of media finding out. If you're interested there are unixy ways to compress everything into one big file and then split it into chunks that fit whatever size media you are using. At some point though your time might be more valuable than the cost of media and you should just do time machine to some external storage.

Re: itunes 11 is out
Well, you could always play directly from the finder but if I understandit correctly that added them to your library. You play files from the finder by doing vo-space on them and if they are a type of file that is set to play in iTunes by default, they will play. The same is true with other players. For instance, I have several file types set to play in vlc by default so when I do vo-space on those files in finder, the files play in vlc. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: itunes 11 is out
Well, if you really don't want to use iTunes, set your files to play in something else. Most of my files play in vlc by default so they only play in iTunes if I want them to do that on purpose. Most of the files in my iTunes library are ones I purchased from iTunes. it is not really that I don't like iTunes; it's that I had a bunch of music I ripped before iTunes was even an idea in the back of my mind and so iTunes either doesn't identify them correctly or assigns tracks incorrectly or leaves the track blank which means your albums will play in alphabetical order of the song names usually. I haven't time to straighten this out so I primarily use vlc which doesn't mess with my files. If I still had all the cds I ripped and gave away, I'd have a fantastic iTunes library and I'd probably like it. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: itunes 11 is out
I guess I never thought of it as not intuitive. I guess intuitive or not depends partly on what you are expecting. Probably if it was changed now to what you consider intuitive, I'd pull my hair out for the first ten minutes or so and then I'd eventually forget the switch and come to say that was intuitive. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Moving a Folder in Mac Mail
I wonder why people have to do such different things to get this to work. For instance, the new drag and drop usually works for me in mail now but I have a friend who got it to work once and never again. There has to be some reason why some people have to use full screen mode and some don't and some have to use the old drag and drop and some don't or for that matter why one method sometime work for any given person but sometimes doesn't. It's nice to have all these options but it would be nice if one could predict accurately what would work in various situations.

vlc: adding to media library
Does anybody know if there's a keyboard shortcut or accessible method for adding to the media library in vlc. I am sure it's enabled because the window comes up when I open vlc and I've apparently accidentally added a couple of songs to it but I have no idea when or how that happened. I have no problem making playlists but I can't figure out how to add to the media library intentionally. I googled and found one article but the description didn't seem to translate to what I could do with voiceover. It must be possible since I did it unknowingly.

Re: VO Hints
Yes. Open voiceover utility with vo-f8. In categories go to verbbosity. Hints is the fifth and last tab; select it with vo-space. There's a checkbox for speaking the instructions for the item in the voiceover cursor; there's a pop-up for handling items with help tags, and there's a table to set the delay before a hint is spoken. I'm not sure you need both the checkbox and the popup depending on what you need this for. The checkbox can be very annoying but is great when the prompt is needed. The popup is helpful but you can also get that information by doing vo-shift-h on items with help tags and then you can go ahead and label items by using vo-slash. In fact, I just labelled a checkbox in vlc.
