[Mac-Access]: Multiple Subscriptions

[Gordon Smith]

Hello everybody

Several people have been complaining about unsubscription requests not being 
honoured by our servers.  Please believe me when I say that we take these 
issues very very seriously.   We have absolutely no wish whatever to spam 
anybody’s inbox, I can utterly assure you of that fact.

In light of this, I have just mace a very large amendment to our authentication 
database.  How it happened, I don’t rightly know.  But I can only presume that 
my earlier suspicion that VoiceOver was to blame.  Maybe I added you all three 
times when I thought VoiceOver was not populating the appropriate boxes in the 
database module front end.

However, as I say, I have now taken action to hopefully rectify this issue.  
The two addresses whose owners I know have requested removal, have been 
removed.  Those addresses which existed multiple times have been reduced to a 
single entry.  I hope that this change will fix the problem.

Those who are about to be unsubscribed will obviously receive this message, but 
it should be the last one they receive from the list unless they opt to rejoin.

Again, our apologies for the inconvenience.  Hopefully, this issue should now 
be resolved.  But feel free to contact us privately if not.  I am also working 
to try to reactivate the support address.



My compliments and kindest regards

[Mac-Access]: message from the list owner, please read

[Gordon Smith]

Hello everybody

I’d just like to give you an explanation as to why some of you have had 
difficulty unsubscribing from the group.  Firstly, please understand that this 
was in no way a deliberate act on my part.

When I was configuring the list, VoiceOver did not reveal the refreshed edit 
boxes when I added your addresses.  Therefore, I thought that they hadn’t 
actually been added, so I added them again.  This happened twice before the 
boxes’ contents were displayed to me, and I thought that the job was done.

However, unbeknown to me, the addresses were added three times over.  This is 
why you’ve had difficulty and in some cases have received multiple copies of 
the messages.

Please accept my most sincere apologies for the inconvenience.  I am modifying 
the list as I speak, so that each member is only subscribed once.  I am also 
taking out those addresses whose owners have requested that I do so.

Those who have written to me threatening reprisals, (and there have been 3 of 
those), please know that I am removing you as you requested.

I acknowledge though that this shouldn’t have happened.  There should be 
error-trapping within the software to prevent it.  I am taking this up with the 
developers.  But I am also working urgently to address the issue.

Those of you who do wish to remain on the list, please don’t worry if you get 
repeated welcome messages.  If you get a message asking whether you want to 
join or not, then that is at your discretion.

I am also taking steps to restore the support address so that these issues can 
be separated once again from my own inbox.



My compliments and kindest regards

Re: [Mac-Access]: Ladies Gentlemen, We Are Back!

[Gordon Smith]

hello

Please just take a moment to modify or cancel your subscription; we added you 
all in bulk as you expressed a wish to remain part of the groups, or at the 
very least, you did not express a wish not to be part of the group.

To cancel your membership, please write to:
mac-access-le...@mac-access.net mailto:mac-access-le...@mac-access.net
that will cause an authentication message to be sent to you.  Please just 
respond to is as indicated in the message and you’re done.

Thank you.

 Good Sunday to all
 
 We should now be back in business as a group, although I have some tweaking 
 still to do.  But I hope you’re all well, and receive our call.
 
 Please don’t send “I am here’, or “I see you” to the group.  We just want 
 life to resume from where it left off.
 
 Let’s just say we’ve had a spectacular server crash from which we couldn’t 
 recover.  So we were forced to make a transition, ready or not!

[Mac-Access]: Re: Stop The Tests, Please

[Gordon Smith]

Hello Angela, Christopher and all

This is Lynne, using the only address we currently have active which just 
happens to be Gordon’s.

Please don’t get uptight about this, all. The method of joining/leaving the 
group has changed anyway. When he’s up and about again, Gordon will update the 
mailing list section on our website. He’s currently hospitalised due to a road 
accident on Friday.

Meanwhile, if you have headers visible,  I suggest you examine the contents of 
messages posted to the group. Just a little self-help here would go a long way. 
:)

If you don’t, unfortunately I can’t help you. When he comes home I will make 
sure that Gordon does the update quickly as he can.

Warmest regards

Lynne

Re: [Mac-access]: Finally installed Windows on the MacBook Pro

[Gordon Smith]

Just a gentle reminder now that we’re back on the trail of the group so to 
speak.  Please don’t go down the road of discussion of Windows itself in this 
group.  Discuss the configuration of the virtual machine, as you do in this 
post, that is fine.  But please don’t go down the Windows road.

To answer your question.  I believe you’ll probably find that if you change the 
number of processor cores you have active from the default “1” to “2”, you 
should see a vast improvement.  This may cause your guest OS to need to be 
reactivated.  I always advise people not to activate the thing immediately.  
Get it working first, decide whether or not you’re likely to take to the 
virtual environment and then decide whether you wish to activate the guest.

Anyway, I hope that my suggestion is of help to you.  But again as a gentle and 
general reminder to the group, please don’t discuss guest OS issues in this 
forum.  Discuss the VM itself, that is fine, but not the guest.  I now that 
probably sounds strange, and I am aware that it isn’t the way other groups 
work.  But that has always been, and remains now, list policy.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Following my earlier message, I went ahead and installed Windows on the Mac
this morning and got JAWS installed and activated. This was done as a
virtual machine.

While there are work arounds for the keyboard which I can carry out, what I
cannot live with is the occasional dropout in audio. Sometimes, the screen
reader will miss the first syllable of a word for example. I did allocate
what I thought was enough memory for the Windows side.

My questions are:
If I get a USB soundcard to connect to it, is this likely to resolve the
problem, or is this just one of the consequences of running it in a virtual
machine?
Is there a way of using the virtual machine configuration and convert it to
bootcamp instead or do I have to start over and install again from the DVD
media I have?

[Mac-access]: Scanning Query

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

I’m looking for a quick way to scan multi-page PDF under OS X and export it to 
a Word document.  I’ve tied VueScan but it keeps whinging about no scanner 
being present.  I’ve also tried VFineReader 12 Pro, which kind of worked, but 
then it got itself into a busy cycle which couldn’t be shut down without a 
forced restart.

Any tips as to an easy, quick solution to this problem?  The PDF files are 
images, which is totally crazy given that the distributor is supposed to be 
distributing these documents to the print disabled.  BTW, the work I’m doing is 
covered by an educational license.

Thanks.

 This depends on how much work you want to do yourself.  It's of course 
 perfectly possible to build a site from scratch, and code everything

 wordpress, buddy press, dolphin, or drupal to do it for you.  There are 
 issues with each of these, but generally, they can be made to do what you 
 want, with the proviso that you have to do things their way, or learn to code 
 around it yourself, something that is sometimes easier said than done.
 However, many many people are using cms systems (I wrote one myself several 
 years ago) to handle their web sites so they don't have to.
 But, with all that said, if you wish to code your own, it's certainly 
 possible, if short, simple, and straight to the poing with no fuss and no 
 muss is what you're after, then by all means, write your own html code and 
 put it up.
 However, it sounds like you're in a position of not knowing html coding, so 
 more than likely, a solution like wordpress is likely to do you the most good.
 There's loads of places you can get wordpress training, (including from me), 
 and some of the training is good, some isn't, some is free, some isn't, so it 
 all depends on how much time and effort you'd like to sink into it.
 Find yourself a host that will install wordpress for you (many do) and give 
 it a try.
 Even on the list here, there's plenty of folks that do both wordpress 
 hosting, and training, so if you strike out on your own, and get stuck, you 
 can ask (as long as it's vo related of course).
 
 If you're looking for an accessible html editor for the mac, I highly 
 recommend taco html editor, I've used it for years, and never had any 
 problems with it.  It's relatively inexpensive to register, and has all kinds 
 of included templates if you need a hand making your code.  I use it all the 
 time, and like it a lot, but I know there are other options too that work 
 with vo, so perhaps others will chim in with those.
 Again, it's all based on how much you know, how much you want to know, and 
 how much you want to put into the site.

Hi

If you open the message by hitting enter on it, then reply to it, it will 
return you to the message window upon sending the reply.  This is design 
philosophy. The work-around is to close the message and then hit Command+R.  
That will induce behaviour to want.

Re: [Mac-access]: Updates on Mac

[Gordon Smith]

I cannot vouch for your provider but I know that there are some mobile 
providers who do block this type of content. In the UK, I know that there have 
been a lot of complaints to OffCom, the independent watchdog of the 
telecommunications industry, because automatic updates have caused users to 
exceed their monthly bandwidth allocation, and/or incurred very large bills.  
Actually, Windows phone users are more vulnerable to this than OS X or iOS 
users because these OS’s usually let you know before downloading large updates, 
whereas Windows Phone just “does it”, on-the-fly.

Re: [Mac-access]: old email address

[Gordon Smith]

Just create a new apple ID associated with your new address.  Then, once up and 
running, add your old one to it as a secondary address so that you can still 
receive your apps.

[Mac-access]: Creating An Installer Disk For OS X Yosemite

[Gordon Smith]

Hello all

Now that we’re mostly all running Yosemite, I’d just like to make this 
procedure a little more public.  I cannot take all of the credit for it, but 
nevertheless, I wanted to pass it along.

There are a couple of ways you can create install media for OS X under 
Yosemite.  I believe that the Terminal command sequence I’m about to give you 
below is probably what’s used by the free “DiskMakerx” application.  Obviously, 
therefore, you can use that app if you just want to get the job done and aren’t 
interested in the learning process.  The data you enter into DiskMakerX is used 
in the same way as this command will give you it.

Yu may also install using Disk Utility by locating and restoring the disk image 
within the installer to a thumb drive, but that process is a little bit more 
complex than doing it this way.

If you’re like me, and you like to know how things work, then you might want to 
delve into the Terminal, and use this process instead.

Firstly, you’ll need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites 
available:

• An 8GB or higher capacity USB thumb drive which you are happy to erase.  It 
must be capable of USB2.0 or later.

• A copy of the Yosemite master install disk which you download from Apple.  
Warning:  When you originally download the installer, it deletes itself once 
the installation of Yosemite is complete.  So make sure you have a backup copy, 
or one is available.  I can help you there if you need one, but you must, of 
course, have a qualifying computer.  I am going to put the installer up on my 
personal cloud, but can give you a link to it if you need it.

Assuming that you have the installer, move/copy it to your /applications folder.

Format your USB thumb drive as an OS X Journaled drive and give it a name like, 
in the below example, Yosemite.

Now, we will use the small Unix utility which Apple very kindly provided in 
their Mavericks and Yosemite installer.  This is called, for the benefit of the 
curious, “CreateInstallMedia”.

• With your thumb drive pre-prepared, Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
and type/copypaste the following command:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ 
Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Yosemite 
--applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app —nointeraction

You’ll be prompted for your administrative password so enter it and hit Enter.  
Then, be patient until the Terminal session shows the “Done” message.  At that 
point, you can remove and securely store your new Yosemite install disk for 
future use on any qualifying Mac.

That will save you having to download the installer from the Internet each time 
you need to reinstall your system or when you want to build a new one.

You may also want to create a Recovery thumb drive as well so that you have 
that option available.  I shall place both files, (the main installer and also 
the recovery disk assistant) in my personal cloud.

I hope somebody somewhere finds the above of some use.

Gordon

Re: Logging Into Terminal As root

Hi Sarah

NO, that’s fine thanks.  I just needed clarification of format.  I have the 
info now thanks to your kind explanation.

If you need an audio demo I can very quickly provide one as I log in to ssh

 Hi Sarah
 
 Yah, bit if you need to access system directories, it’s a snap when you’ve 
 got yourself root access on-the-fly.  I was struggling with Terminal because 
 I couldn’t get into the root folders.  Now, I can.  And after all, it isn’t a 
 GUI you’re using so you aren’t likely to be there unless you know just a bit 
 about the CLI.  Well, enough not to destroy your data, that is.
 
 But here’s another one that I need to resolve.  When I log into a site using 
 SSH, what’s the command sequence?  I mean how do you actually manually log 
 in?  I’ve tried everything and I need to get to the right thing pretty 
 quickly.  I’m taking on more network admin work and it involves this kid of 
 access.

 I'd rather be  safe by doing sudo  then the comand I'm looking for then the

Re: Terminal Command

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Sarah

A little bit over-done here, LOL.  All I need is to copy a file from one 
directory to another, on the same system, or preferably just move the file with 
one operation.  Also I guess I’d need the delete command as well to save the 
tedium of having to use the Finder.

To be utterly honest, my Linux knowledge is woefully inadequate, something 
which I really do need to work on.  When I first got my very first Mac way back 
in early 2005, i promised myself I would get to grips with the technical side 
of the thing.  I also promised myself I would learn the CLI.  I have, so far, 
failed to live up to that second promise that I made myself.  I intend to 
address that inadequacy.  I know of a couple of publications which deal with 
using the bash interface, so I’m going to go and get those, even if I have to 
buy them over again.  I need to make myself more abled to deal with these 
issues so that I can at least work with developers where procedures and 
processes haven’t as yet been implemented into the Finder or the GUI.  So thus 
begins my quest for knowledge.

Logging Into Terminal As root

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

I found this by pure accident.  If you ever want to log into Terminal as root, 
all you have to do is this:
1.  Open up /Applications/Utilities/terminal.app
2.  At the log-in prompt, type the following, (without the quotes):
sudo bash”

There you go, you’re off and running as “root”.  But be careful what you do 
there. ;-)

Re: A Warning to All...

[Gordon Smith]

There are some great solutions out there which would help you in a case such as 
this.  The best of them, (in my view), is 1Password.  It’s versatile, reliable 
and, for those using Windows, it is also cross-platform.  I wouldn’t be without 
it, and me at least, it is a far more secure option than writing anything down. 
 It is actually very bad practice to commit passwords and things like that to 
hard copy, so say the experts in the security industry.  A notebook can be 
stolen and just think what a thief could get away with if everything were 
stored in that little red book they picked up curing a house break-in.  
Naturally, I hope that you’re never a victim of said crime.  However, I 
personally would never be comfortable knowing that my passwords and private 
info were sitting around in a notebook.  Granted that if you’re a Braillist it 
is more difficult for somebody to steal your ID.  But all the same, the 
principal of committing that kind of data to paper chills my bone marrow!

Just my thoughts, for whatever they’re worth.

Kind regards

Gordon

Hi All,

Before you set up an Apple ID and password on your IOS device, or a new Mac, I 
want to remind everyone to write all pertinent information down either in large 
print or Braille, or on a digital recorder, so if you forget your password, 
you'll have that to refer to.

I learned this the hard way, when I tried setting up my Apple account, setting 
up Mavericks.

Consequently, what happened to me, I ended up with several ID's and none of the 
machines I have recognized one.  Ultimately, I had to call Apple tech support, 
and though they couldn't assist me because of new policies of Apple's, 
regarding ID's and Passwords, they did tell me to go to my local Mac Store and 
start from scratch.

Lesson learned: Write down, or record, and and all pertinent information before 
installing, or while installing and setting up, then file it somewhere so you 
can find it, should you forget your ID and Password.

I am aware that many of you are long-time, Apple users and already know this; 
however, there are those on the list who are new to Apple, and with the recent 
identity glitches and thefts, I think it is a matter of reminding folks to 
write down their information.  So from now on, I have a notebook which I keep 
in my safe deposit box, with all my Apple information so I have it right there 
when I need it.  I don't store it on my computers or IOS devices because 
hackers love nothing better but to intercept ID's and passcodes.

As they say in the Lifelock commercials, Nothing is perfect, but if we 
minimize the problem, we'll sleep better.

Thanks for reading/listening.

Re: Logging Into Terminal As root

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Sarah

Yah, bit if you need to access system directories, it’s a snap when you’ve got 
yourself root access on-the-fly.  I was struggling with Terminal because I 
couldn’t get into the root folders.  Now, I can.  And after all, it isn’t a GUI 
you’re using so you aren’t likely to be there unless you know just a bit about 
the CLI.  Well, enough not to destroy your data, that is.

But here’s another one that I need to resolve.  When I log into a site using 
SSH, what’s the command sequence?  I mean how do you actually manually log in?  
I’ve tried everything and I need to get to the right thing pretty quickly.  I’m 
taking on more network admin work and it involves this kid of access.

Gordon

I'd rather be  safe by doing sudo  then the comand I'm looking for then the log

 Hi all
 
 I found this by pure accident.  If you ever want to log into Terminal as 
 root, all you have to do is this:
 1.  Open up /Applications/Utilities/terminal.app
 2.  At the log-in prompt, type the following, (without the quotes):
 sudo bash”
 
 There you go, you’re off and running as “root”.  But be careful what you do 
 there. ;-)

Terminal Command

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

What would be the command to copy a file in the Terminal from one directory to 
another?  For instance, I want to copy a file called content.htm from 
/usr/local/Server to /usr/local/server/web/ and optionally move the file at the 
same time.  Command syntax, please, any of you Linux users?

Many thanks.

Radiologic For Broadcasters

[Gordon Smith]

Hello everyone!

At last! At long, long, last!  We finally have a suite of programmes which are 
fully accessible, and which can make it possible for a serious broadcaster 
requiring accessibility to use their Mac as a broadcast system.  When I first 
looked at this software way back in 2010, all I got was the usual “Unknown, 
Unknown, Unknown” when roaming through the various dialogues and windows.  Now, 
however, the entire application has undergone a rewrite, and accessibility is 
100%.  You can do all of the things I’d expect of a broadcasting system, 
including using a dedicated player as a cart machine.

It would have been nice, and I shall be talking to the developer about this in 
the next few days, if we could have had a way to easily import pre-selected 
carts into the dedicated player so that frequently used ones can be accessed 
without having to re-queue each time.  But given the power of this app, that 
really is a minor issue.

There is a superb audio ducking system in this app, the best I’ve ever seen on 
any software solution on any platform.  The nearest comparison I can draw here 
is with my Behringer Audio DJ mixer, and that device absolutely rocks!

The ducking depth can be adjusted, but the default is really well chosen.  What 
I like about this app, amongst other things, is the ability to configure 
multiple preference sets, so that you can use them for different situations 
without having to bother about changing things all the time.  If you don’t like 
the default keyboard shortcuts, you can change them to what suits you best.  
When used alongside something like “iVolume” or even the iTunes Sound Check, 
the output really does have a good dynamic edge to it. Not quite as good as OTS 
AV on Windows, but very very close to it.  Certainly, it is better than things 
like Station Playlist, etc.

Another nice feature is the ability to see how long you need to speak for in 
order to fit your tracks into a typical 6-minute rotation.  The playlist can 
dynamically adapt, when used in conjunction with the Advance Schedular which 
the application uses to create very highly customisable playlists.  You can run 
a 24/7 automated station with this thing, and it stays in sync, other apps fall 
down on this point, but this one is very very accurate.

If your musical genre is not one where you need to do many voiceovers, you can 
just use the thing by pressing a couple of keys to turn of automation and to 
disable ducking.  If ducking is disabled, you don’t get the reduction in your 
music level and, therefore, you don’t need to talk over the intros or outtros 
of your tracks.  You can even publish your station’s activity, live, via either 
the web, or via most of the social networks; Twitter, Facebook, etc.  You don’t 
even have to fiddle around in order to set that up.  Do it once, and you’re 
good to go.

I still need to give this a real run out, but I am confident that, finally, at 
long long last, my quest to find a broadcast system for OS X is over.  Now it 
should just be a case of learning all the ins and outs of the software, and 
then going on air live.  Oh yes, and I forgot to mention.  There is built-in 
support for streaming codecs such as NiceCast, Shoutcast, and Live365.  So you 
can publish, stream, and produce stunning audio.  Oh, I forgot, you can also 
adjust your tracks’ overall pitch by about 5% each way so that you get a 
mega-smooth transition with the track that went before it and the track that 
comes after.  If you do that properly, the listener won’t notice.  They 
actually do that on commercial radio, I’m not sure whether many people know 
that, but they do.

Anyway, I’ll be giving this a run out later in the week so I’ll try and 
pre-record a demo broadcast so that you can hear for yourself just how nice and 
smooth this thing sounds.  It supports multiple output and input devices, so 
that you can, for instance, use one for VoiceOver and your Mac’s internal 
sounds, and another dedicated to Radiologic.  It also supports MIDI-controlled 
mixing, including jog wheel FX and whatever else your controller is capable of 
doing.

Sorry this overview has been a little like a ramble, but I just wrote it 
on-the-fly, without taking the time to structure my thoughts.  But I’m excited 
about this as a broadcaster because finally, without paying really top prices, 
we have something that will mix it with the best of them.  I have personally 
tried software on Windows which costs literally thousands of Dollars, and it 
doesn’t sound as good as this thing does.  For example, Myriad, which is the 
software that 99% of professionals use in their studios, Myriad doesn’t come 
across as smooth as this and even for the small networks that thing costs 
almost $1500 US for just a year’s hire.  Wow, finally, we rock the boat!  Bring 
on RadioLogik, and it’s worth dropping the developer a line as I plan too, in 
order to start a dialogue with him.  There are just one or two little areas 

Radiologic; Initial Findings

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

A few days ago I posted about a piece of broadcast software built for Mac OS 
from the ground up.  It’s called RadioLogik.  I tried it a few months back and 
it wasn’t accessible.  But the great news is that the situation has changed 
radically now, and the software is totally accessible with VoiceOver.  Really 
fantastic news for me, given that it will greatly simplify the way I broadcast.

Re: Drop box in Yosemite

[Gordon Smith]

I have discussed this with DropBox support and they are looking into it.  In 
all probability they say they will  be releasing an OS X update to fix this.  
Meanwhile, we’ll just have to wait.  But watch the DropBox forum.  I too have 
been testing Yosemite as a fully paid up developer and have been quite 
impressed to see some of the changes.  This OS represents a far more 
significant upgrade than Mavericks was, and still it is free.  Microsoft, maybe 
you can learn a lesson or two here.

On 17 Oct 2014, at 10:34, Paul Hopewell hopew...@hopewell.org.uk wrote:

Hello, 
Like others I have been on the Yosemite beta program and can now talk about it. 
Overall I am pretty happy with Yosemite but do have a concern re drop box. 

In Maverick I could send someone a link to a file in my drop box. I used to 
locate the desired file in dropbox/public and use the context menu to copy a 
link to that file into my clipboard. I could then paste that link into an Email 
to enable the recipient to access that file from my drop box. the Email 
recipient did not have to be a drop box user. 

In Yosemite I cannot find the option to copy the link to a file in my drop box. 

Do others have this problem?

Hi!

Its been a while since I owned one of these devices, at the time I rid myself 
of the Jawbone Jambox I was less than impressed with it given that I’d found 
better devices on the market.

The problem I had was the Jawbone Jambox was using an earlier standard of 
Bluetooth which meant that conducting HD Voice Calls or FaceTime Calls with the 
iPhone was out of the question if you wanted to enjoy the advantages in call 
quality that both HD Voice and FaceTime offered.

So its been 3 years since I had one of these devices and I’ve just heard a 
rumour that the Jawbone Jambox now uses a later version of Bluetooth so can 
anyone on list confirm or deny this?

If the rumour is true then yes, I would consider buying another.

my lack of having used it extensively.  However, I need to log into  remote 
site using SSH.  But for some reason when I try logging in, it seems to be 
using the user ID “Gordon”, which is not correct.  What am I doing wrong?  
Anybody can help, that would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Gordon

 Hello everybody
 Looks like we're back in busition.  I've just had to explain 
the reason for the failure to a couple of clients, and I'm not 
about to do so on list.
 However, suffice it to say that it is now fixed, and we can 
resume discussions where we left ofc.

 Great to be back.

Re: Accessing root log-in credentials

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Travis

OK, yes, I did know about the sudo command.  But the developer of an app 
requires SSH root access to one of our systems. That’s why I requested root 
access.

On one of our machines I can actually log in as root, but that machine is where 
this server is running and I need to do some serious work on that myself which 
will undoubtedly break that access level.

I’ll try using sudo first though on the other system. 
What’s the Unix equivalent for the Windows Del command?  I need to delete a 
group of files from a root-only access folder.

Many thanks.

You can get root access by using the sudo command.  Normally, you'd simply run 
a single command using sudo and it would run as root, however, a command like
sudo /bin/bash
will get you a root shell, and you need only use your own password to make it 
happen (assuming you're an admin on the machine of course).
You're of course welcome to use any shell you like, assuming you have others 
installed, but bash is the default, and it's unlikely you'll need another one 
anyhow.
once you use the sudo command, you will have a root shell, and you can perform 
any function required.  Typing exit at a shell prompt will get you back to your 
normal user-level shell, and typing exit again will exit the shell, and end 
your terminal session altogether.

As far as logging in as root from the terminal screen, if it's possible, I've 
never figured out how to do so.  Others have managed it, but I have not, though 
it doesn't really matter, because a sudo root shell provides exactly the same 
access as logging in directly as root.

Subject: VMWare Does It Again!

Hello everybody

As you probably know by now if you have your finger on the pulse of 
virtualisation technologies, the battle of the giants is really hotting up now. 
 As somebody who is fortunate enough to be able to evaluate both Parallels 
Desktop 10 and Fusion Professional 7 in fully licensed modes, I can tell you 
that there is a really noticeable speed increase in both of these products with 
the release of Apple’s latest technologies and APIs build into the operating 
system to make it both Mavericks and Yosemite compatible.  I am currently 
running Windows 8.1 Professional under Fusion 7 and Lynne is as I write 
finishing off the setup of the sane operating system under Parallels.  By the 
way, we’re going to make it easy for anybody who wants to download the new 
evaluation of Fusion, if, that is, there’s any demand for it.  We will post it 
in an accessible place and let you grab it at your heart’s content.

That aside, I can honestly say that running Fusion now with this new version is 
just like running Windows in a native environment.  They’ve obviously done a 
lot of fine tuning and the result is staring me in the face right now.  And it 
honestly could not have come at a better time.  Just as we’re expanding what 
we’re offering to our clients and friends, (more about that soon), so this 
comes along.

Actually it was released on 2 September, but I just didn’t get around do doing 
anything about it until now.  All I can say is “Wow!”

Anybody want it made available for download?

Re: VMWare Does It Again!

[Gordon Smith]

It still is, but I can use it. The way I do it is quite simple.  Lynne 
configured and set up a virtual machine.  All I do is click on the virtual 
machine (to which we have an alias) and it loads, simple as that. The nice 
thing about the Parallels interface is that there is no issue with the VM 
console getting in the way as there sometimes is with Fusion.

Re: VMWare Does It Again!

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Colin

Correct.  But as I indicated in a previous post, I can use Parallels too, once 
the VM is configured.  My better half configured it all for me, and just put an 
alias on our desktop.  And then, away we go.

Of course, I am comparing Fusion with Parallels 10 which is the current release.

Re: Fusion 7 Pro and Windows 8.1

[Gordon Smith]

Matthew

Whether necessary or not, this isn’t really the place to discuss Windows. We do 
run a sister group where that is permissible, of course.  Windows-Access would 
naturally bring one to assume same.

As it happens, I too must use that OS for work, but only for work related 
issues. I deliberately and very determinedly avoid it for my own computing 
purposes. Lynne, at work, is totally OS X. But she’s lucky, her small office 
does as she dictates, not as others do. She runs Parallels at home sometimes 
because yes there are still a small number of clients with whom she cannot 
communicate any other way than on MSN and we try to keep that off our Macs. We 
don’t use Adium any longer because we don’t really have a need for it. When we 
go on Twitter, now and then, there are dedicated clients for OS X and iOS so we 
don’t need Windows for that. Anyway, I am rambling.

Re: Shell Script Query

Hello Geoff

OK, thanks.  I’ a little puzzled actually because when I tried it via Terminal, 
VoiceOver gave me feedback which sounded as though file were being moved into 
place but I can find absolutely no indication that anything whatsoever was 
installed.

I have tried contacting the developer but so far I’ve had no response.  To be 
fair, this could be because they weren’t working over the weekend.  But I 
really would like to try to take this forward if possible.

Shell Script Query

[Gordon Smith]

Hello everybody

I have a problem to which I’m hoping somebody can give me a definitive 
response.  I have an application which I need to install on to a machine, but 
the application in question was ported from LINUX and installs via a shell 
script.  When I open the script in the usual way, it is opening Xcode rather 
than installing as I had expected.  Is this normal behaviour and, if so, is 
there a work-around?

Many thanks.

Re: Shell Script Query

I’m guessing that you’re advocating using the Terminal to do this.  Possibly 
that might work but I’m shamefully and woefully unfamiliar with Terminal stuff 
and it kind of makes me a bit nervous.  Thing is I really don’t want to make a

Re: Shell Script Query

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Esther

Excellently explained, as always.  This is a cross-platform application which 
I’m trying to install.  I can’t share any specifics at this point owing to an 
NDA.  But the developers say you need to be logged in as “Root” in order to 
install it.  Presumably, this relates to the permissions issue which you raise 
in your post.  Once the app is installed, you can do everything from your own 
account so hopefully, it should only be necessary to do this once.

This has actually cause me quite a lot of frustration all day because I need to 
get this done, and my woeful lack of Terminal experience is letting me down 
badly yet again.  I learned a few things when I installed and configured Snow 
Leopard Server.  But that was about fifty million years ago, and I’ve probably 
forgotten most or all of it owing to the fact that I’ve allowed myself to 
become very lazy in terms of installing software.

OK, so let’s go back to your post.  I can play the app anywhere on the system, 
so if I log in as root, it can probably sit in the root directory of the hard 
disk if that makes things simpler?

I will go and re-read your post to see if I can get my head around what I need 
to do.  Once done, then it’s pretty much plain sailing from there on in.

Many thanks, as always.  Incidentally, Esther, I refrained from contacting you 
regarding your Mac Access mail account because we still have a record of your 
settings here.  So if it’s alright with you I’ll go ahead and create a new 
account using those settings?  If not, by all means get back to us off list if 
you’d like to discuss this further.

Many thanks again.

Kindest regards

Gordon

Hello Gordon,

Shell scripts don't execute when invoked unless you have changed file 
permissions on your system to allow them to execute.  This is a security 
precaution, because you don't, in general, want arbitrary scripts to run on 
your system without your express permission, and by default the files you 
create or copy will not have executable privilege.

If I want to run a shell script from the Terminal command line, I first make it 
executable:

chmod +x scriptname

If you only want the script owner to be able to execute the script, type:

chmod u+x scriptname

In this example, substitute the actual name of the script for scriptname.  

Then, run the script with the command:

./scriptname

The dot slash typed before the name of the script (with no spaces) refers 
to the current directory, which is not usually included in your $PATH (which 
are the directories that are searched by default for executable files).

Presumably the script takes care of the one-time installation, and you won't 
use it again.  

Those two commands typed from Terminal -- the chmod +x before the scriptname 
to make sure the file is executable and the ./scriptname to run the shell 
script file named scriptname should be all you need.

Technically, you also need to allow read permission to a shell script file in 
order to run it, but you already have it in most cases, including the case you 
describe.  The alternative to running the chmod command to change the 
permissions mode of a file, if you have the file and directory on another 
attached disk,  is to copy the file with the cp -p option.  The -p switch 
preserves the permissions of the file you are copying, which includes 
executable status for shell script files.

HTH Cheers,

Esther

Vital Service Update; Please Read; Last Chance! | Mac Access Dot Net

[Gordon Smith]

Hello everybody

The time has finally come.  Unfortunately, we’re going to have to perform a 
total server rebuild.  With this in mind, services will be very erratic as of 
19:00 tonight (18:00 UTC).

Actually, the blog entry states that the server will be taken off line totally. 
 Whilst 19:00 is indeed the time I’ll be starting work on the rebuild, it may 
actually be a little later than that when it really does go off line.  Anyway, 
to the point. Please read this blog entry and, if you’re affected by what it 
says, get in touch with us using the details within the entry.

This change will mean that the list itself will be down for a while. We 
apologise for the inconvenience which this will cause you.  However, in the 
longer term, it brings our services up to date, and allows us to host far more 
than just mailing lists and websites.

I will not be more specific at this point, but changes are on the way.

Re: The KeyRemap Utilities, [And Forwarding Messages]

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

Just a gentle reminder, regarding the content of this message.  We ask that you 
pleas do not forward mail from different lists on to this one.  Also, if you 
care to check the list archives, (see the footer of any message posted to the 
group to discover where the archives are), you’ll find Eric’s descriptions 
there at least twice.

I myself made  the same mistake, I should have checked the archive before I 
started a similar topic a few months back. But again, this issue is covered in 
the archives.

Just to add my own little bit into the mix, based on discussions Ive had with 
software engineering elsewhere, the “Bug”, as Sara calls it is probably not a 
“Bug” really.  It has to do with the changes that were made recently to Apple’s 
keyboard drivers in relation to notebook machines.  Although the scan codes are 
more or less identical, of course, there are other factors which may be causing 
the problem.  And, somewhat ironically, it has to do with the keyboard 
interaction with VoiceOver and gestures.

Apple hacked around a few issues I am told which cause some very rare issues to 
occur in software which are so rare that Apple probably doesn’t believe they 
warrant the time it would take to find another way around them.

That is probably why, in some cases, these software titles work and not in 
others.

I personally have been over all the steps several times, (as outlined on the 
website of the software developer).  I found that, under Snow Leopard and 
below, they work flawlessly.  Under Lion or later, I haven’t been able to get 
them to work properly at all.  Again though , there are other complications.  
One of which is the keyboard map being used.  The US keyboard layout is 
different, for instance, to the British layout.  This in turn differs from the 
French layout, and so it goes on.  Possibly, so speculates my correspondent, 
the scan codes differ slightly for non-textual keys such as the caps lock key.

In summary, it seems that the Keyboard Remap utilities may not be the best way 
of going about solving this problem.  I am going to try good old Sharp Keys 
again because it would produce far more localised an, therefore, more versatile 
results, in my case at least.  I use the caps lock quite a lot under normal 
conditions and currently it is disabled.  I’m going to do away with that 
concept because it seems that it no longer works reliably anyway.

Re: iBooks

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Anne

Perfect, thanks ever so and my apologies for the repeated question.  I did 
check the archives, (both our own and the public archives_ but I couldn’t find 
the thread to which you so very thoroughly responded.  So again, many thanks.  
This, if I can find a way to do it, could save me hours of work.

To explain.  The book I need access too in text is part of a project I’m 
working on for my employer.  Since they have a paperback version of this book 
published under license to them for use as they require it, I figured it 
wouldn’t cause any problems regarding copying the book.  I’ve actually started 
a dialogue with the author herself and she told me she would have no problem 
with this.  I am transcribing the book for the children at work.  As you know,

Re: iBooks

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Travis

This is most interesting and enlightening.  I shall have to do some digging in 
our resources at work and have a word with the uni software development team at 
TeesSide University.  They may be able to help us out.  Not that I want to do 
anything illegal, of course.  But they may be able to help me fine a way to 
make use of unencrypted documents.

Kindest regards

Gordon

Anne (as always) offers excellent points on the ibook files.  However, I have 
found that it's possible to simply use the unzip program (in terminal) to 
uncompress the ibook files.  They are indeed simply epub books, but as with any 
other epub formatted ebooks, if they are encrypted, (and many of the ibooks 
are) you will not be able to make any sense out of them even after unzipping 
them, because their content will be encrypted by a method that is both complex 
and (slightly) nonstandard.  (at least based on some poking around I've done).  
There is an iso standards document for epub formats, and it allows for 
encryption of content.  I have been unable to reconcile the apple ibooks with 
said iso documents, though it's possible my understanding of the 
encryption/decryption method is incomplete, as that part of the document wasn't 
the easiest to follow.  Most epub readers use prewritten libraries released by 
different manufacturers to do all the heavy lifting, and don't really wri
 te their own routines for this.  My attempts to do so meat with very little 
success, and since it was more of a curiosity thing for me than anything else, 
I gave up on it and moved on to other more interesting reading. :)

But, then again, I've rarely had much luck trying to write code to do things 
based on iso documentation, though I do have to say, the rfc documents are much 
better in this regard, I've had no trouble in many cases turning internet 
protocol documents into operational code.
But anyway, I just wanted to let folks know they can unzip ibooks, and examine 
their contents, just don't expect to get usable results most of the time. :)

Re: App question

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Kristine

Could you not use a simple AppleScript to do this for you?  I would imagine 
that you can simply add the could just embed the commands into the script and 
run it, simple as that.  If you wanted to really develop this I’m pretty sure 
you could develop or have developed for you a more advanced series of scripts 
to do selective listing.  Failing that, I’m sure that somebody on list would be 
able to produce that for you without to much inconvenience.  If I understand 
your meaning correctly, all you’re asking for is a simple list of files and 
folders either nested or otherwise, maybe listing every file in a selected 
folder.  Is that correct?

Kindest regards

iBooks

[Gordon Smith]

Hello everybody

Just a quick question which somebody answered for me a while ago but to my 
shane I can no longer find the relevant message.  Where are books stored when 
downloaded by iBooks?  What format are they stored in?  Is it possible to copy 
the text from an iBook and have it saved in, for instance, Text Edit?

Many thanks.

Re: I finally got an iPhone! I have no questions so far, but am excited.

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Mary

I’m quite behind on mail, so my apologies for that.

Congratulations!  I hope you have lots of fun and productivity with your 
iPhone.  We here all use iPhone 5S’s as well, and we really like them.  Lynne 
did experiment a little with Android on a Samsung Galaxy S4 copy, meaning it 
was an unbadged version of the S4.  She found she could use it, and has kept it 
because of the fact that it has a larger screen and can accommodate twin 
Micro-SIM cards.  But it’s currently put away in a cupboard because she just 
couldn’t get away with it like she does with iOS and the iPhone.  We also have 
a couple of iPads, a first generation model and a third generation one.  To be 
honest, we see no reason to upgrade.

But yes, the future of Apple’s accessibility is very exciting and it’s great to 
see you become a part of it.  Given your line of work, I’m sure you’ll find it 
useful.

Some people like the touch-type mode, others hate it.  It really depends upon 
your individual circumstances.  Have you tried Flexi?  I think that’s it’s 
name.  Also, have you tried dictating to your iPhone?  I actually haven’t done 
that as yet but I’m told it works very well for the most part.

Which reminds me, I still haven’t got Dragon Dictate sorted out on the Mac.  I 
must do that before we start back at school on 2 September.

Look forward to finding out more about your new adventure.

Kindest regards

Hi everyone,

The last time I wrote to you I was struggling to type using a fourth generation 
iPad, and not having too much fun. I did find your messages really helpful and 
informative, but decided that the only reason I'd use that iPad was because 
someone was paying me, namely work.

But after hearing about all the iOS improvements and amazing aps that keep 
coming out, I finally took the plunge and got an iPhone 5s just over a week 
ago. The first thing that my Facebook friends did was tell me to turn on touch 
typing because it would save me so many headaches. Come to discover, touch 
typing was giving me headaches. The double tap thing honestly works best for me 
now, and I've been able to download quite a few aps and books. I even 
experimented with pictures (I took 12 very interesting ones, including a 
selfie, before I got a picture of my cat Daisy).

Anyway, I know this email has no real value, except to say I understand why the 
Apple community is so excited about the products and to say that since I do now 
actually use an iPhone, I might contribute from time to time. Loll

iTunes Loading Duplicates, Missing Tracks

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

These issues are really starting to bug me, to the point of my being almost 
ready to ditch iTunes, including the iTunes Store) and seek out alternative 
music services.  I’n sure they exist, and maybe even in my preferred format as 
well, (FLAC).

But for now, has anybody else seen the issue of iTunes downloading duplicates 
of tracks, so that each album folder is filled with two, sometimes three 
duplicates of each file in an album?  If so, does anybody know how to block 
this hole?

Also, I’ finding that sometimes when I buy compilation albums, iTunes downloads 
most of it but misses quite a few tracks.  Is there any way to revive the 
missing download?  When I go to the Store menu and have iTunes check for 
available downloads, it comes back with the message that iTunes has downloaded 
all available items for this account which, quite clearly, is not the case.

Thanks in advance.

Kindest regards

Hi Jim

Thanks, thought that’s probably how you were doing it.  We have had occasion to 
use TeamView in a commercial environment recently and when I tried, as 
expected, no screen-reader worked on either platform.  Not at all surprising as 
the output is essentially a dynamic image.

Re: Should I move to Mavericks?

[Gordon Smith]

Hi

At this point in time, I see absolutely no reason why the move to Mavericks 
shouldn’t be across the board, to be honest.  Keep in mind that Apple has 
released 4 major updates since the initial release of Mavericks and most of the 
little quirks have been ironed out.  Also, when Apple releases Yosemite later 
this year, it will make the next upgrade smoother as well.

Mavericks is fine, and I personally would recommend it to any Mac client.

Kindest regards

Hi Ian -

I haven't upgraded yet, I only got this Macbook Air a year ago, running 
Mountain Lion, and wanted to get familiar with it before having to start to

is if I don't back up my data, will I automatically lose it during the upgrade -

 Hi listers
 
 I have a 2010 mac mini, running mountain lion. It is a little slow opening 
 apps but not too bad yet. I am about to start a degree in September and may 
 be getting a laptop as well, which will probably be using Mavericks or 
 Yosemite.
 
 I am looking for opinions as to the pros and cons of upgrading to Mavericks 
 at this time and whether my mac mini will be better or worse with the upgrade.
 
 Not urgent, but thought others may be having the same thoughts.
 
 Thanks

Re: Should I move to Mavericks?

There are accessibility issues with iBooks, that is true.  On that subject, 
does anybody know where books are downloaded too?  I bought one in he iBooks

Re: Should I move to Mavericks?

[Gordon Smith]

Hopefully.  But we really must avoid playing guessing games.  Apple has 
traditionally come up with surprises with almost every release.  Also be 
mindful of the price of Mavericks in comparison to Windows 8.1 or 8.  The 
Windows 7 to 8 or 7 to 8.1 upgrade was a paid upgrade and it was quite costly 
at that.  The 8.0 to 8.1 upgrade is free, but so is Mavericks regardless of 
your operating system.

Kindest regards

Re: Bootcamp

[Gordon Smith]

Lew

I’m somewhat behind on mail.  Is it possible, is that what you’re implying 
here, to install Windows 7/8 under Boot Camp without assistance?  I was under 
the impression that this was system-specific so wouldn’t always work reliably.  
For instance, selecting the partition to format when there are multiple drives 
in the system such as a Mac Pro installation, I’d have thought that would 
change the sequence?

Kindest regards

Re: Connecting My Domain To Mac OS Server

[Gordon Smith]

In order to do this, your ISP needs to update your zone records in DNS so that 
the reverse address points to your static IP. This is not possible usually at 
the user level, it has to be done either via a DNS solution offered by the 
provider or by the provider themselves.

Ask them to map your PTR record to your static IP.  If they say they cannot do 
it, you won’t be able to correctly configure your domain.  This is one area 
where people always fall down on static IP configuration.

Given that this is not a Mac issue, please get back to me privately if I can 
help you further.

Kindest regards

Hellow,
I’m running Mavricks on a late 2012 mac mini and running the latest version of

software or what settings to change in the router or domain etc please?  I know 
this list is probably not the right place to post, but all the other 
information I’ve found is old stuff.  I’ll put my information below in case it 
helps anyone.

My ISP is plus net, public static IP I bought from them is: 84.92.99.237, my 
private IP for the computer is: 192.168.1.64, my domain is harmonyln7.com, 
computer’s name iss www and the domain is hosted with namecheap.  I’m using the 
router I got from plus net right now for connecting to the internet etc.

Everything I’ve tried playing around with in my system preferences and in the 
router settings has normally resulted in me crashing te connection to the 
internet and thus having to reset everything back to defaults, so if anyone 
could help, that would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Harmony.

Re: Fusion; OS X Grabbing Keyboard Control

[Gordon Smith]

Hi David

No, that wasn’t my problem and it took me a long time to nail this issue.  
However, here we go.  My start disk had partition errors.  I realised that when 
I used some system tools to check the drive.  So, I did a total backup.  Then I 
switched to that backup as my start disk, formatted my internal drive again 
with a new partition, and then just restored from the working backup.  Now, 
Fusion and a lot of other apps work much better than before.  Just shows what 
can happen with hidden errors like that.

Kindest regards

I find that it is only in full screen mode that Fusion works satisfactorily
for me. The toggle key for full screen in fusion is Control command and
enter.
Basically the steps I take are 
1. command F5 to turn voiceover off.
2 Control command and enter to enter full screen  mode and the windows
Screenreader should now grab focus.
3. To leave Windows and return to the Mac control command enter  to put
Fusion into a window then command F5 to turn VO on and finally command tab
to another window or desktop to confirm that Vo and Mac have focus.

Hi all

I'm experiencing an irritating issue with Fusion.  It is continually
grabbing keyboard control and I can't get back to my VM.  Anybody tell me
how to get focus back to the VM via keyboard?

I don't want to discuss the VM here because it's off topic.  But this seems
to be an issue with Fusion itself, not the VM.

Boot Camp

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

This seems to work a little differently to how I remember it in the early days. 
 When you run the Boot Camp assistant, you’re prompted to create a Windows 
Media Device, download the software from Apple to support your Mac  and then 
install the operating system.  That’s fine as far as it goes.  But when I tried 
this last night it just booted to a dark screen with what looked like a window 
in the centre.

I presume that you’re supposed to boot from the USB drive.  But do you need to 
hold down a key on boot to enable this?

I’m not going to discuss the installation of Windows itself as that is an issue 
not for this group.

Kindest regards

WWDC From Monday, 2 June 2014

[Gordon Smith]

If, like most or even all of us, you cannot attend  the 2014 WWDC, you might 
like to download the iPhone and iPad WWDC app so that you can follow along with 
the events which interest you.  This conference starts, I believe, at 15:00 UTC 
or 10:00 Central.  I think I have that right, although somebody else might know 
better.  I believe that it starts at 16:00 BST which suits me great, as I’ll be 
home from work by then and so can follow all the exciting developments as they 
happen.

I just wish there was a Mac version of this app as well as that would be easier 
for some of us.

Anyway, here’s a link to the app in the UK App Store, and my apologies if it’s 
already been posted.

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/wwdc/id640199958?mt=8
I presume that the US App store URL would be:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wwdc/id640199958?mt=8

Re: Moving DropBox

[Gordon Smith]

I wish it were that simple.  How, for instance, are you supposed to get into 
the preferences?  I can’t get it to open from the menu bar, nor does it work 
when I run the application, but then again I didn’t expect that second option 
to work right,.

So, I tried going into the Users  Groups preference pane and on the Logon 
Items tab, I looked for DropBox but it was nowhere to be found.  In a lame 
attempt to prevent it from loading, I renamed the ap and restarted the machine. 
 Even that didn’t work right.  But I can’t find a way of doing it.

Kindest regards

Im actually thinking of doing the same thing myself as I need the space for my 
gb stuff for the release of something in a few months.

Re: Apple to live stream WWDC 2014 keynote on June 2; promises exciting announcements

[Gordon Smith]

That makes three of us!  I just happen to be off work on 2 June, so at around 
16:00 BST, or is it 17:00 now that we’re in BST, I’m not sure.  We’re ahead of 
UTC by one hour at the moment, but I don’t know whether they have such a thing 
as daylight saving time over there. ;-)

Incidentally, when I try to open any of Sarah’s URLs I’m getting a totally 
blank page.

Kindest regards

Fusion; OS X Grabbing Keyboard Control

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

I’m experiencing an irritating issue with Fusion.  It is continually grabbing 
keyboard control and I can’t get back to my VM.  Anybody tell me how to get 
focus back to the VM via keyboard?

I don’t want to discuss the VM here because it’s off topic.  But this seems to 
be an issue with Fusion itself, not the VM.

Kindest regards

Re: Caps Lock Key As A VoiceOver Key; What's The Advantage?

either in this situation.

Re: iTunes FLAC

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Chris

Lynne is currently at work, but she’s asked me to pass along her apologies to 
the group for any misleading information. be totally assured, everybody, that 
Lynne did not intend to mislead. She just genuinely forgot that she installed 
FlipForMac, it was so long ago. We did recently update it though and it looks 
like it was that which gave iTunes its ability to not only play the files, but 
also to add them to the library.

Burning FLAC Files To CD

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Chris

I’m referring to the audio gaps, disk offsets etc.  Some of that information is 
used when a CD is added to the MusicBrains or the freed.com databases.  I would 
imagine it will sound fine, it would really depend on the FLAC file. We, for 
example, do not compress our FLAC files. That’s how you retain the best 
quality. We also use complete album formats where possible, rather than 
individual tracks. The exception to this being our Sparkle Radio music server. 
That uses individual tracks, out of necessity. But still, they are not 
compressed.

Kindest regards

Hi Chris

As yet, the answer to your question is no. :) And yes, I’m a fully paid-up

Re: Eric's Steps

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Esther

Actually, I have done more reading on this today, and you’re quite correct 
that, had I done so earlier I could probably have saved myself, and others, 
quite a bit of time.  So my apologies all round for that.  My only excuse is, 
and I agree it’s probably a pretty lame one, all be it true, pressure of work.  
I simply don’t have the time to sit and read as much as I’s like.  But on this 
occasion there’s no doubt that it would probably have paid dividends.

Finally, I have to say that I’m now a convert to the caps lock idea.  There are 
some occasions where it would be useful to have it, (when entering my home 
address for instance).  But there are work-arounds.

Hi Gordon,

I don't subscribe to your techno-chat list, but after going to that list and 
reading Colin's repost of Eric's old instructions for using KeyRemap4MacBook 
and the PCKeyboardHack, I'll just state that they were correct at the time they 
were written.  Starting with the version 8 releases of both these applications 
on January 30, 2013, the information on the preferences panes were moved into 
the main application.  

The end of that post included the lines:
Below is the link to the new podcast. that walks through these steps. 
http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/new-updated-remapping-keys-your-macs-keyboard-enhance-voiceover-experience

I'm not sure whether that link will wrap, so I'll provide another shortened 
version to this AppleVis page with the podcast:
http://bit.ly/1kFbyDK

Had you gone to that web page, you would have read follow-up comments that 
stated that as of version 8, the changes Eric requested no longer required a 
special download link, but were incorporated into the main version of the app, 
and that also the app had changed its organization so that the preference pane 
information was now incorporated into the applications.

Finally, I'll just state that another reason for installing KeyRemap4MacBook, 
whether or not you also install the PCKeyboardHack, is that laptop and Apple 
Wireless Keyboard users can also then access the full range of NumPad Commander 
options, as well as having access to a full embedded keypad.  

For more information, including tips on more general configuration of 
KeyRemap4MacBook, see the archived post:
• NumPad on laptop Macs and KeyRemap4Macbook
https://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/msg12382.html

Note that the post was written when configuration was done in separate 
preference panes.

Gordon, there were some additional configuration tips for using 
KeyRemap4MacBook under VMWare Fusion with JAWS written up at a blog site named 
Flint's Geekiness.  I have the URL saved in an old post on another list, but I 
can't get to that web site now.  It described further suggestions of disabling 
Mac Host Shortcuts en masse under the VMWare Fusion Preferences to avoid 
definition conflicts, and on a further post how to swap the Windows and Alt 
keys.  I'm not a Windows user, so I didn't separately save the contents of 
these posts after reading them and noting the URLs.

These were:
•Mac Virtualization: Making the Caps Lock key work as a JAWS key in VMWare 
Fusion!
http://www.themillionweb.net/blog/?p=9
•VMWare Fusion -- More keyboard tips:
http://www.themillionweb.net/blog/?p=17
•Mac Virtualization: More on key remappings, and how to swap the Windows and 
Alt keys!:
http://www.themillionweb.net/blog/?p=12

The first page describes what is covered by Eric's instructions, only with the 
corrections for the preference pane information moved into the KeyRemap4MacBook 
and PCKeyboardHack apps. The two later blog posts were additional tips for 
working in the Windows VM.  The links were active July of last year.


HTH.  Cheers,
Esther

Re: Caps Lock Key As A VoiceOver Key; What's The Advantage?

[Gordon Smith]

Hi Eric

Point taken, yes.  I see where you’re going.  I just don’t use those commands 
all that often.  But if you do, then yes, I certainly see that.  However, if 
you’re planning on updating to 10.9.3, I don’t know yet whether it’s public, 
but you might be disappointed.  Maybe your preference will hold, I don’t know.  
But I cannot get those utilities to work here at all.

KeyBoard Remap is listed in the menu bar.  But the other utility just isn’t 
there.  I’ve tried installing twice, and restarted after each procedure.

I was contemplating asking you if we could put your article on our blog, with a 
couple of small mods.  But that’s on hold at the moment until I can ascertain 
whether or not the update breaks with the new OS X build.

Kindest regards

Hi gordon and others,

Here are some of the reasons I find having the caps lock key act as the 
VO keys a advantage.

I'm a touch  typist using the Home row of keys.  The caps lock key location 
lets me use VO and often keep my fingers ready to go on the Home row. Much 
faster work flow for me.

Many commands using VO and letters on the left side of the key board are 
especially easy to use with the caps lock as VO.  example VO A, reading the 
contents of the voice over curser.
I use two fingers on my left hand without leaving the home row. The small 
finger on caps lock and the ring finger to tap the A key.  Without caps lock I 
must drop my left hand to the VO keys then cross my right hand over to find the 
A key.  Or, I can cross my right hand down and under my left.  There is just no 
easy way to keep typing and press VO A, or VO S, or VO D for that matter.
The caps lock key as VO is also a big help to me when I need to do command that 
has multiple keys.  for example VO shift home.  with the caps lock as vo I can 
still essentially keep my left hand on the home row. and pressing caps lock key 
is easy.  pressing VO shift means my left hand is off the Home row and busy 
using three fingers to hold down the keys.

I can give many more examples.  One more good one is using the command VO W.  
this is a very handy command to hear the word you are on, Press it a second 
time for the spelling, and the third time for the phonetic spelling. 

With VO as caps lock I hold down the caps lock key with my small finger on my 
left hand and use my left hand ring finger two then press the W as many times 
as I need. both hands remain on the home row.

Now go ahead and try this with the usual VO keys on the left of the space bar.  
that simple command VO W is a hand twister for me and a slow down in my work 
flow.

Before using the caps lock as a VO key I modified my laptop keyboard to have a 
set of VO keys on the right.  Now that I have the caps lock key working as VO I 
returned my other keys back to the default. I don't need the VO keys on the 
right to work quickly.

This modification has nothing to do with my past and current work on the 
windows side of the world.  It is just a much more efficient way of navigating 
the keyboard on the Mac.

I continue to be grateful it is a option thanks to keyremap4macbook.

Best.

Eric Caron

Re: Caps Lock Key As A VoiceOver Key; What's The Advantage?

[Gordon Smith]

Hi

I have this working now, but I had to totally revise the steps.  Version 9.3 of 
KeyRemap for MacBook, it no longer lives in system prefs it seems.  I had to 
launch the two apps manually.  Once done, the procedure became obvious.  Note 
also that I didn’t have to go through the steps of interacting and pressing 
enter.  Tab worked just as well.

But Eric’s principle steps were of value, I wouldn’t deny that for a second.  
As for the multiple caps issue which Chris raised, I think that is a ver valid 
point.  If you’re going to remap the caps lock key to something else, why 
change it in the first instance? :)

Seriously, though, I can see Eric’s original point.  All the same, I think I’d 
be tempted, once I find the scan code, to remap a different key.  The caps lock 
key is one I have always used quite a bit, so I’d probably map something like 
the key above the tab key instead.  That key, I never use.

Kindest regards

Also, Eric, it is worth noting that it is not necessary to use the Option key

Gordon, as for your question about how to address use of the Caps Lock, I admit 
that I have been rather lazy.  When I need to capitalize multiple consecutive 
characters, I just hold the shift key.  But I could remap the Caps Lock to 
something else if it was a real need.

Hi Eric

Point taken, yes.  I see where you’re going.  I just don’t use those commands 
all that often.  But if you do, then yes, I certainly see that.  However, if 
you’re planning on updating to 10.9.3, I don’t know yet whether it’s public, 
but you might be disappointed.  Maybe your preference will hold, I don’t know.  
But I cannot get those utilities to work here at all.

KeyBoard Remap is listed in the menu bar.  But the other utility just isn’t 
there.  I’ve tried installing twice, and restarted after each procedure.

I was contemplating asking you if we could put your article on our blog, with a 
couple of small mods.  But that’s on hold at the moment until I can ascertain 
whether or not the update breaks with the new OS X build.

Kindest regards

Re: Caps Lock Key As A VoiceOver Key; What's The Advantage?

[Gordon Smith]

Hi

Yes, to be absolutely fair, Eric did make me stop and think.  I’m not disputing 
what he said – in fact, the more I think about it, the more logical it seems.  
I hope and trust that nobody is going to try to turn this into an argument, 
because that is definitely not what it is about.

I aI for one have decided to give the suggestions a go, and maybe I’ll be a 
convert.  I’m certainly not dismissing them out of hand, which would be totally 
wrong.

However, in my case, Eric’s steps were some way off the mark.  The principles 
were right, no doubt about that.  But using version 9.3 of the KeyRemap 
utility, it didn’t show up in System Preferences at all.  In fact, all that did 
show up is the context menu helper.

As for the PC Keyboard Hack, that never showed up anywhere and I had to go into 
my Applications directory to launch it.  Also, interacting with and pressing 
enter on the scan code to be changed didn’t work here.  But simply tabbing 
around the window worked fine.  Once I selected the appropriate values in the 
tables, everything was tickadyboo. :)

I’m going to leave it set this way for a while.  Let’s see how I get on.  I 
just wish I could find a way to stop Fusion from grabbing control when I hit 
the Command+M key to go to the desktop.  I’ll have to see if Command (Alias 
Windows)+D works any better.

Kindest regards

Many commands using VO and letters on the left side of the key board are 
especially easy to use with the caps lock as VO.  example VO A, reading the 
contents of the voice over curser.
I use two fingers on my left hand without leaving the home row. The small 
finger on caps lock and the ring finger to tap the A key.  Without caps lock I 
must drop my left hand to the VO keys then cross my right hand over to find the 
A key.  Or, I can cross my right hand down and under my left.  There is just no 
easy way to keep typing and press VO A, or VO S, or VO D for that matter.
The caps lock key as VO is also a big help to me when I need to do command that 
has multiple keys.  for example VO shift home.  with the caps lock as vo I can 
still essentially keep my left hand on the home row. and pressing caps lock key 
is easy.  pressing VO shift means my left hand is off the Home row and busy 
using three fingers to hold down the keys.

I can give many more examples.  One more good one is using the command VO W.  
this is a very handy command to hear the word you are on, Press it a second 
time for the spelling, and the third time for the phonetic spelling. 

With VO as caps lock I hold down the caps lock key with my small finger on my 
left hand and use my left hand ring finger two then press the W as many times 
as I need. both hands remain on the home row.

Now go ahead and try this with the usual VO keys on the left of the space bar.  
that simple command VO W is a hand twister for me and a slow down in my work 
flow.

Before using the caps lock as a VO key I modified my laptop keyboard to have a 
set of VO keys on the right.  Now that I have the caps lock key working as VO I 
returned my other keys back to the default. I don't need the VO keys on the 
right to work quickly.

This modification has nothing to do with my past and current work on the 
windows side of the world.  It is just a much more efficient way of navigating 
the keyboard on the Mac.

I continue to be grateful it is a option thanks to keyremap4macbook.

Best.

In that instance, of course it’s public. :)  But having been running it for

released.  But that’s good.

Maybe once you do that, the icons go into system preferences.  But that seems

Moving DropBox

[Gordon Smith]

Good morning all

Does anybody know whether it’s possible to move your DropBox folder once the 
client is installed?  Ours is becoming too large for the home drive and I want 
to move it on to our Thunderbolt drive.  On the PC it won’t make any 
difference, just the Mac.  The reasons for this requirement are numerous, but 
one of the most pressing is space saving.  My own MacBook Air’s internal flash 
drive is becoming rather too full.  There are other reasons but I am not going 
to detail them here because it would take me off topic.

Caps Lock Key As A VoiceOver Key; What's The Advantage?

[Gordon Smith]

Hi all

This really relates to a discussion that started life on our sister group 
Techno-Chat.  But, since it’s OS X specific now, I’m moving it to this group.

Anybody using a MacBook or, as in my case, a MacBook Air, do you use the caps 
lock key as a VoiceOver key and, if so, why?  I’m just curious as to why it’s 
such an advantage.  What does it let you do more easily than the default 
VoicerOver keys would allow?  I can certainly see why somebody with dexterity 
issues would find it a big help.  There would only be one key to hold rather 
than 2, which would help at least one person I know well to use her Mac more 
efficiently and, thanks to Colin and to the original poster Eric Caron, I shall 
pass this on to her.  But for those with unimpeded dexterity, how does it help? 
I acknowledge that there are some keystrokes which can be difficult to initiate 
sometimes on a laptop keyboard. But these, for me at least, seem to be far too 
few to warrant a change in the default behaviour.

Actually I think that on the whole, the VoiceOver key combinations have been 
very logically thought through.  The only real inconsistencies I’ve noticed in 
this regard seem to be more related to Braille input via a Braille display’s 
keyboard.  I haven’t really gone into that either until today, when I decided 
to have a shot at typing in grade 2 Braille on my HumanWAre BrailleNote Apex, 
my Freedom Scientific Focus40-Blue and my Seika Mini Seika display.  In these 
cases, I noted that there didn’t seem to be a way of pressing backspace.  Or 
did I just miss something obvious?  Reading using the VoiceOver cursor seems to 
be a little more fiddly using a display than it does using the regular MacBook 
keyboard.  But again this may simply be due to my inexperience of working this 
way.  It’s something I hope to become more familiar with if it’s doable.

Kindest regards
