Refresh a braille 18

2014-05-16 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi guys
If I have to give back the focus 14, and it's looking more and more like I'm 
going to have to do it, I am considering a Refresh a Braille  Braille 18. Do 
any of you guys have one, and if you do, do you like it? What do you like, and 
what do you not like if anything?

The good news for me is that I have a friend that has got one, so I can ask her 
to let me parent with my Mac. I noticed when I got Siri to find it for me, that 
voiceover is even listed first on the list. Oh yes, the other question is, can 
you updated with the Mac?

Re: Braille difficulties with Focus Blue.

Hi Kawal.

Nobody knows.

Have a great day.

I am happy you have got an answer. It is a strange thing. I have an old macbook 
pro 2009. On this computer it works fine, on this a 2011 model it stopped 
working when I updated it to 4.91 a couple of months ago.

Best regards Annie.

Re: Refresh a braille 18

2014-05-16 Thread Les Kriegler
Hi Gigi,

Well, from what others have said, this is a good display. The big problem I 
have with it is at the charging port is very difficult to get to. You may want 
to check that out with your friend to see if you have any difficulty with it. 
Other than that it's a good display. However, I wouldn't recommend it based on 
the difficulty of using the charging port. Jay I'm all.

Re: OS X 10.9.3 is out

2014-05-16 Thread John Panarese
   I am assuming this comes down to the various ways that people carry out 
tasks on the Mac.  I simply expand conversations with the right arrow and open 
any message I want to read.  I use VO-j at times, but do not have problems with 
it.  What Mavericks did fix is the use of the tab key.  This gets me between 
the messages and other tables.

 Hi John. I see Alex has already answered on the collapsed disclosure triangle 
 annoyance. You can get around it by setting verbosity to low, but then you 
 miss badge information, and if you use an activity to narrow low verbosity to 
 Mail, those of us who don't use Alex run into the delay bug where switching 
 apps out of an app affected by an activity takes an extremely long time.
 I use VO-J with conversations enabled in the modern view because pressing 
 Return to open the message is far too verbose for my tastes. You have to sit 
 through too much verbiage before the body of the message. VO-J is faster. 
 Trouble is, since Mavericks, sometimes the first press of VO-J yields 
 results, other times you have to press it three times because the first press 
 does nothing.
 None of these issues existed in ML.

 Perhaps they are fixed in the final version, which I do not yet have,

Hi there 
You may, maybe, have done what I almost did. When I did the update,
VoiceOver came on, but then it wouldn't talk any more after it said the
welcome message. However, I got desperate and turned VoiceOver off and back
on; that was when I discovered that I was in the setup section. So I had to
VO and right arrow to the place to hear the percentage of that. Once it got
past the setup, and that took about five minutes, then my computer worked
fine. 

However, guys, my Focus 14 still won't pair with my Mac, even after the
update. I am writing this on my Braille Edge 40 which still works with my
computer just fine. Now I am going to have to call Apple and find out if
this update was supposed to fix this thing.

Hi,

 

It appears to be an activation of VoiceOver kind of problem.  The
computer is actually functioning properly, VO is just not ready to speak
to you.  So, if your Mac requires you to enter your password, just go
ahead and enter it.  If you're wanting to start a specific app, you can
still press VO-d to go to the Desktop and press the first couple letters
of the Dock shortcut and press return to open it.  Usually, somewhere in
that process, VO will start announcing what you're doing.  It's kind of
a pain but, you are correct in that it is a Mavericks thing.

 

Later...

Overheating MBA When Running Windows In Bootcamp

2014-05-16 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hello All,

I would like to know if others have experience their MBA or Macbook Pro getting 
warm when running Windows 8 in bootcamp. I'm not sure if thisis just normal 
because of the Windows side using more resources. I have an external drive and 
the Pearl camera plugged into the 2USB ports. Would this be why it's getting 
warm? Also, will the MBA handle a 3.0 USB hub? I haven't purchased one as of 
yet, but having to change the devices in and out of the ports is beginning to 
get old.

Reminders have gone a bit weird

2014-05-16 Thread Lisette Wesseling
Hi folks,
Has anybody else experienced their reminders being an hour out over the last 
few days? I have a regular one which is showing correctly to go off at 8 AM, 
but it actually goes off at 9 AM now.
Our clocks haven't changed recently or anything like that.
Just curious if anybody else has noticed this.

Lisette

Re: Overheating MBA When Running Windows In Bootcamp

2014-05-16 Thread Alex Hall
I don't have Windows 8 or an MBA. I can tell you this, though: the fan on my 
Mac Mini rarely runs, and when it does, it is usually when I'm running a 
virtual machine of Windows. You will also find your battery life shortened when 
using Windows, most likely. Yes, modern macs all have USB3, but even if they 
didn't, your hub would just drop back to USB2 and still work.

Re: Overheating MBA When Running Windows In Bootcamp

2014-05-16 Thread Kevin Barry

I run Windows 8.1 in Bootcamp on my late 2013 MBP.
Even after running for a while I have to place my ear directly on the 
palm rest in order to hear the fan. Even then it is very quiet.
The machine does warm up some but that is  because it is made of 
aluminum which transfers heat quite well.

Re: booting from an external drive

2014-05-16 Thread Cameron Strife
Hi. If you have a bootable drive, you can boot from it by going into
system preferences and selecting the drive in startup disk. Or, hold
down the option key when you hear the chime when restarting the
machine. This will give you a list of available devices to boot
from;internal hd, superdrive etc. If it is a bootable drive, you
should be able to select it from that list using the arrow keys then
hit enter. You may need to guess, or, just grab someone with some
working eyeballs to tell you how many times you need to arrow before
hitting enter.

Hope that helps,

Cameron.

Re: booting from an external drive

2014-05-16 Thread Jeff Berwick
I have replaced the internal drive, but it is only seen sometimes.  I'm 
actually running off my old drive connected externally.  The new drive shows up 
in disk utility, but not as a boot-up option.  We installed Mavericks on the 
new drive, and it seemed to go okay.

I suspect that there may be something else wrong internally, but was hoping 
that I could find a way to mark the new disk as bootable and save myself the 
cost and trip to the Apple store.

Re: booting from an external drive

2014-05-16 Thread Jeff Berwick
Actually, forget it.  Now it isn't showing up in disk utility at all...Guess 
there is something amiss inside my Macbook Pro :(.

 I suspect that there may be something else wrong internally, but was hoping 
 that I could find a way to mark the new disk as bootable and save myself the 
 cost and trip to the Apple store.

 Hi. So, just so we're on the same page here, you replaced an internal
 drive on a machine with one drive in it and you can only boot from it
 some of the time? did the OSX install go okay?

 Hi. If you have a bootable drive, you can boot from it by going into
 system preferences and selecting the drive in startup disk. Or, hold
 down the option key when you hear the chime when restarting the
 machine. This will give you a list of available devices to boot
 from;internal hd, superdrive etc. If it is a bootable drive, you
 should be able to select it from that list using the arrow keys then
 hit enter. You may need to guess, or, just grab someone with some
 working eyeballs to tell you how many times you need to arrow before
 hitting enter.
 
 Hope that helps,
 
 Cameron.

Go to System Preferences, then the Keyboard button. Hit the Text tab, and 
uncheck correct spelling automatically.

Re: booting from an external drive

2014-05-16 Thread Cameron Strife
Hi. With external drives, the first thing I'd suggest is trying
another cable. If nothing else, it rules out the cable being an
issue...
