Re: Internal Drive For Mac Mini late 2010
Yes, its a late 2010 Mac Mini. Since i llive in Arizona and the Apple store is only like 15 minutes away. I will take it some time this week. This way i can be sure what is really wron with it and not buy something its not i guess. I'm not such a computer Savi and well the reason i had asked here i s because a friend had told me it was the internal drive but i guess i better make sure that is what it is. Also just urges me because its my only computer besides my IPhone. . thanks Patricia Sent from my iPhone On Jun 4, 2011, at 8:22 PM, Bryan Jones openses...@me.com wrote: Hi Patricia, I guess I'm confused as your original email states that you have a late 2010 mac mini. Perhaps you meant late 2009? If that's the case, I would still like to strongly suggest that you might want to contact Apple as they sometimes have parts that are under an extended warranty due to a recall or high failure rate. The quick phone call or trip to an Apple store might just save you some money, data and grief.

Talking about Braille, what about some of the older displays?
Hi there folks, I was just wondering about my BrailleNote clasic and the mac. I know that with some fangling you can use it with Jaws on a laptop with no cerial ports using a USB to cerial cable.

Re: VMWAre Fusion tool

Taylor mk...@ucla.edu To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2011 9:45 PM Subject: Re: VMWAre Fusion tool Hello Antonio, The explanations you have received with regard to the function of the VM Ware Tools is quite correct; in short, they provide an automatic way to allow the Mac hardware to be used by the virtual machine. One could ask why this is an option at all for why would one not wish this? The answer is that there are some instances when such access is not required. Keep in mind that many IT professionals use virtual machines; VM Ware has to allow for all kinds of needs. It is the same with regard to word processors. Most people use only about 3% of the power of MS Office yet it has everything anyone could want in order to accommodate more advanced writers. As for your dilemma, without sighted assistance, I recommend the following: 1. If you think you have deleted your Windows 7 installation, assuming you have not emptied the Finder Trash, go to the Trash and undelete/restore the file. Please remember that regardless of its appearance, a virtual instance of anything is little more than a single file. 2. If possible, re-install VM Ware Fusion. This will not damage any instances of virtual machines. Good Luck, Mark On Jun 4, 2011, at 4:40 PM, Antonio M.

OK, you know what? I had identically this same problem at one point. Remember, it won't work unless you have the most recent build of IWorks that has Pages included. Also, if you're like me, after installing IWorks, you may have to run a software update. Once that is done, you should be able to get to the typing area.

Re: Maybe a weird question about Terminal
Hello Zachary and others, I have downloaded version 1.9.2, i think from the macports project but when I run the installer, I receive a message like: xcode is not installed or was installed wit unix development (10.5+) or commandline support (10.4) deselected.

vmware issue
Hi list. Not sure if this message went through last time, so will post again. Sorry if this has already been sent. Two days ago, I was working in my windows xp pro vm.

Is there a way of fixing this issue without reinstalling xp? Thanks in advance to anyone with responses.

Re: braille display Assistance requested
Hello Georges, You can assign any VO command you like to key combinations on your Braille display. Just select your display in VoiceOver Utility in the Braille category. You'll see a button saying Assign Commands. Click this button and you'll find a table of existing commands to which you can add your own. You can also change the existing commands if you don't like them. When using the CeciMac Braille tables, dot 8 is Return and dot 7 is Backspace. You can mute VoiceOver while using your Braille display. I've never used a Braille display with anything other than Mac, so I don't understand exactly what you're asking.

windows on a macbook pro
Hi all, I’m thinking about putting windows on my macbook pro 15 inch, but I have tons of questions before making that jump. First, which program would you recommend for double booting, and can the macbook pro handle the extra load? I have a 500 gig hard drive and 4 gigs of ram, will that be sufficient? How does the macbook handle the different filetypes of documents etc, and are there separate folder structures for windows files verses mac ones? Last question for now, do I need sighted assistance to install a vertual machine?

itunes radio playing?
Hello, I have a list of favorite radio stations. When I press return on my choice most of these just start playing. But occasionally I get one of two other messages: 1, Dialog, getting playlist, text. or 2, rebuffering stream. Now it used to be that in either case 1 or 2, I'd just wait and eventually the station would begin playing, and in fact if I get number 2, in a moment, the stream does play. But in the case of number 1, am I expected to enter something? Thanks in advance. John S -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: braille display Assistance requested
Let me first ask how do I mute voiceover and unmute it again? I will explain what I meant hopefully, I want to read the screen with my braille display without muting voiceover and I don't want my braille display to move the voiceover cursor with it, but say I stand on a button I want to be able to activate that button with cursor routing got me now?Original message: Hello Georges, You can assign any VO command you like to key combinations on your Braille display. Just select your display in VoiceOver Utility in the Braille category. You'll see a button saying Assign Commands. Click this button and you'll find a table of existing commands to which you can add your own. You can also change the existing commands if you don't like them. When using the CeciMac Braille tables, dot 8 is Return and dot 7 is Backspace. You can mute VoiceOver while using your Braille display. I've never used a Braille display with anything other than Mac, so I don't understand exactly what you're asking.

exporting bookmarks from ibooks to the mac, any help pls
Hello all, I like to read epub-files on my iphone4 with the ibooks program from Apple. I can place bookmarks in this files but it would be nice if I can read that epub-file with the bookmarks included, on my mac. I read epub-files with text express from the app store on my mac, but , I can't see there clearly if the same bookmarks are available. The sharing of the bookmarks is set to on in the settings of ibooks. Can I do this with other (Apple) programs on my mac or perhaps with pdf or another format? Sometimes, it's only one file and then, I simply mail them from inside the filer program on my iphone to myself and open them from there in ibooks. Another suggestions could be to use Ilike to read because you can there also place bookmarks on the file in different formats but, I don't know if you have here the possibility to share the file with the bookmarks included. It should be very helpful if I could fix this so, any help would be so great!!! best regards, William Windels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: itunes radio playing?
Hi, No, you are not expected to do anything at all. The short answer is that iTunes has to retrieve information about the station you just selected before playing. The longer answer is that it is a routing message, iTunes retrieves the station's streaming URL from its database and occasionally, the database is a bit slow in responding.

Unfortunately, cdrecord isn't in the sourcelist like it's after installing macports. I suppose , you can add new sources like with apt-get in debian gnu/linux. I'll find how to do that in the guide but, I don't know if it exist and on which source it should be available. The command: port search cdrecord gives no results.

Hi Ricardo, The app was called Pyrcast, and sadly it is no longer available. Pandora served them a cease and desist order. I would trust that Pianopub will soon be updated, as Pianobar, te client it is based on, usually takes no more than a day or two to deal with occasional Pandora protocol changes. Best, Zack.

Re: braille display Assistance requested
Hello Georges, To mute the VoiceOver speech, you can either check the check box in VoiceOver Utility, Speech, or set a short cut on your Braille display. The Mute command is in the Audio menu. The Braille display is tied to the VO cursor, so you can't have it working separately from VO. You can, however, turn cursor tracking off, in which case, the mouse and the insertion point will be somewhere else.

Re: braille display Assistance requested

Hi Doug, THe manual is in the HTML content area, not the toolbar. You can navigate the contents and such all from the HTML. Best, Zack.

Re: Pandora clients for the Mac revisited
It works great, I just got it, but there are a few unlabeled buttons. I think I figured out what they are, but I just wanna be sure. By the looks of it, it looks like the first button you'll come to that is unlabeled, well, actually it's not a button, it's a check box, is your play/pause toggle. Then you get the first unlabled button, which I dono if that's a skip button, or a ban track button. I'm guessing it's a ban track. I'll just say user be ware, user be careful, until someone can confirm. Then I see a cluster of two unlabled buttons smished together. If I had to guess, being the first of the two seems to be a thumb down button. I'm basing this off the fact that there are two buttons together, meaning grouped side by side, unlike that one before it that's kind of all off by itself. So logically, being the first button of the two-cluster seems to skip the playing track, and I know at least with Pandora on my IPod, when you hit thumbs down, it also then skips the track playing currently, so, that leads me to think being that thumb up and down would go together as one function, sota speak, I'm thinking those two buttons side by side are first the thumb down button, followed by the thumb up button which would be one vo+right arrow to the right. That's pretty much it, the slider seems to be the volume. then your table of stations, so that's obvious, then your plus button and minus button is to add a station, and remove a station. So, can someone confirm the other buttons and if I have 'em correct on their functionality? I did use vo+slash and relabel them, but, if they're a little wrong, I always can go back again and redo them. Once I get them correctly labeled, if you all can tell me how to zip up those custom labels, I'd be happy to zip them up on send space for anyone to download and import into their voiceover. You all'll have to tell me, though how to do it.

Re: Pandora clients for the Mac revisited
Hi CHris, I myself may be wrong here, but I figure the first button next to the checkbox is in fact the skip button. There's no Ban Track button as far as I know. I think you also got the order of Thumb's up and Thumb's down reversed. Beyond that, it sounds right. Hope this helps. Best, Zack.

Re: Pandora clients for the Mac revisited
Hi Ricardo, I had this problem as well. For some reason, the update screen for piano pub seems to be completely inaccessible from within the app. I had to get sighted assistance to click on the update button and now it works fine again.

Re: Really annoying problem regarding removable media
Hi Chris, I think Anne answered this a couple of months earlier. I'll paste in her answer: begin quote I don't know anything about that other operating system, but on the Mac, if you empty the trash before disconnecting the device, those hidden files should disappear and the space will be freed up. I always do this with my Milestone and any USB drives. end quote If you're really annoyed by these files you can buy a BlueHarvest4 license: http://www.zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest4/ I've never used this myself, but you can download the free trial and then spring for a $13.95 single user license if you wish.

Re: braille display Assistance requested
My guess is that you don't know the right code to put in to get the Braillino pared. Here is the secret you probably need to know. Let's say your serial number on the back of your unit is 12345, as an example. You take the number in the first position which is a 1 in this case and add 1, then whatever the number is in the second place, which is 2 here and you add two to that number, in the third position you add 3 to whatever the number is in the third position, add 4 to whatever number is in the fourth position, and add 5 to whatever number is in the fifth position. So, if the serial number really was 1234 then the number you would enter in the Mac to pear your unit would be: 24680 The reason for the 0 in the last place is since the adding of 5 and 5 gets 10 and you drop the 1 and enter the 0. So, for one more example: if your serial were: 26487 then the number you would enter would be: 38722 Try that and see if it works for you. - Original Message - From: carolyn Haas chaas0...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2011 6:02 PM Subject: Re: braille display Assistance requested Hi Anne:'It doesn't much matter what I think about the list.:) But, I'm getting exactly nowhere.

switching stations in PianoPub
Hi, I'm wondering how to switch between stations in PianoPub. I have tried focusing on the name of the station I want in the stations table with the VoiceOver cursor, and then physically clicking the mouse, and I've tried the mouse click keystroke, VO-shift-space. Also, I've tried to route the mouse cursor to the station I want, with Vo-command-F5, and I've done the physical mouse click, as well as the mouse click keystroke. Needless to say, nothing happens. If anyone has suggestions, they would be much appreciated. Aside from this little annoyance, I'm loving PianoPub.

How To Read NFB NewsLine Newspapers on A Mac, an IOS device, or a PC
Hello Ed. I am delighted to tell you that I, too, receive daily newspapers from the NFB NewsLine email service and enjoy reading them in either Internet Explorer and/or Fire Fox on the PC or on either my MacBook Pro or iPhone 4 everyday. The process to do this is the same on either platform and requires no software. Once you understand the process, converting the needed file takes less than 1 minute and is well worth the effort. So, let's see how it's done, OK? Note, make sure you can see file extension by making the appropriate selection in either the Mac finder or Windows Explorer settings area. (Not discussed in this post.) 1. Note that your NFB Newsline email contains 4 attachment, each with a different file extension as follows: .ncx, .opf, .smil, and .xml. 2. Save the file with the extension .xml to a folder. This is the only file needed to enjoy the entire newspaper. 3. After saving the .xml file, simply change the file extension to .html. 4. Finally, open the file via your favorite command and your default web browser will launch with the entire newspaper displayed complete with headings, links, tables, etc you can use to quickly navigate the text. That's all there is to it. Enjoy, Mark PS I am cross posting this to the iPhone List as well. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ed Worrell Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2011 7:59 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: NFB Newsline howto Hello Listers, I have had the Newsline paper that you get in the email started for me.
