I have seen this and I am not sure of a solution. I speculate it is an issue with the imap connection and I may be wrong, but if imap, you are seeing this with Gmail then. On Jun 14, 2010, at 9:35 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote: > Ok this is odd. I have a recording link for you. > > mail refuses to s

Chris, although this may be unacceptable, at least it restarts and does not take the entire machine down, which has been my experience with windows-based screen readers. Even though Apple Accessibility may not have responded, they do take these messages seriously. I cannot say why you did not

I wonder if you have a set of eyes that can look and see if there is something going on. My other two suggestions is to setup another account if you do not have one, log into this account and see if you have the same problem. If not, you may have a corrupted plist file. What you can do is track

I also would submit it depends on what type of editing you want to do. Fission, which is also made by Rogue Ameba (makers of Audio Hijack) will do some basic editing, such as cutting sections from the file. There are a number of other features, but this is what I primarily have used the program

Mary, I did not noticed any significant improvement to justify the loss of audio level. So, in my opinion,, stick with 3.0 until they fix the issue. Howeve,r if you backup the 3.0 application, you could install 3.10 and see if the issue affects you. If so, you can always just copy the 3.0 versi

2010-06-05 Thread Scott Howell
The solution for now is to roll back to 3.0. Just copy your 3.0 over the 3.10 app. Of course let VMWare know about the issue and I am sure they will address it in the next version. On Jun 4, 2010, at 9:37 PM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > Yeah I've found this also. It's a pain in the rare end. > > An

The only thing you will want to keep in mind if you choose to replace the stock drive, is make sure you get one that runs cool. Apple uses one of the best drives in the industry and it is also a pretty cool running drive. On Jun 2, 2010, at 8:17 PM, Ben Mustill-Rose wrote: > It will be a normal

That does make sense and the only reason I ask is I noticed that whether bluetooth is on or not, you can connect via USB. So, it is possible to have either option available, but it would be nice if there was an external switch to turn bluetooth on/off. Of course you can't have everything. :) O
