mailboxes hidden in Mavericks
Hi all, I created a mailbox to archive all my work e-mails, but I cannot see it in the mailbox sidebar. Any ideas? It's like it's hidden from view or something. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Kudos to Apple Accessibility
For those who don't think anything ever happens with Apple Accessibility, here's a happy story. I recently decided to stop complaining about a couple issues and take them to Apple Accessibility. One issue in IOS is the speaking of the word selected before some but not all picker items. This is maddening in long lists of items like times. They responded immediately asking for an example of an app in which this occurs. It's easy to find in the calendar app. I reported such and got a very nice note back stating that the issue has been documented and passed to the appropriate department. Yeah, I know, that sounds like lip service but I don't think so. I think it actually got done. I also received detailed instructions for how to report the problem of VO losing focus on some IOS apps. I thought at first it was just the Amazon app but the more I explored the issue, it seems to happen to a lesser degree in other apps as well. I'll have more time this weekend to try the instructions and send a report. Have I ever heard from Dell when reporting things? Microsoft? rarely and then it is a cnned response. Yay Apple.

Vulnerability of running Windows on a Mac

Using Finder to discover the contents of a CD or DVD
Hi everyone. Is there a way on the Mac to insert a CD and not have it automatically launch? I need to explore the contents of several CDs and just using Finder would do great, provided I could do so without the CD or DVD in question automatically beginning to play. Many thanks.

Re: Vulnerability of running Windows on a Mac
Yes, of course! Windows is still Windows wherever it is! However, if you have good Windows protection it is not inevitable that you have viruses; you just have to be vigilant and keep up-to-date. Also remember that one can not afford to be unprotected on the Mac opperating system either. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Using Finder to discover the contents of a CD or DVD
Yes, there is a pane in System Preferences that gives you options for what happens when you insert various types of cds and dvds. However, at least in Mavericks, unless you still have a built-in cd/dvd drive, that pane only appears when you attach an external cd/dvd player/burner, which I just discovered when trying to answer this question; I had just assumed that pane was still there. It appears to me that it isn't necessary to actually have anything in the external drive to make the pane appear but I don't know whether or not having a cd or dvd in the drive changes the options in the pane; I would think it doesn't. Of course, if you still hav a computer with a built-in drive, the pane will be there also. So set your preferences in this pane and then make sure in finder preferences you have the box checked for cds and dvds to show in finder and I think this should meet your need.

Re: Vulnerability of running Windows on a Mac
More specifically, while a virtualized instance of Windows is just as suceptible to viruses and Windows running on a real box, how that overflows to your Mac depends on how much access to your Mac you give Windows. I don't give Windows direct access to my Mac's drive as usually being able to cut and paste between the two worlds does what I need. You can also set it up where you can copy files from the Mac to the PC and back. While PC viruses in files moved to your Mac won't effect your Mac, you might pass them along to another Windows user who will care. Also, while few voiceover users will care about Office for Mac because of its near total inaccessibility, any Word macro viruses are, by definition, cross-platform. So if you do use Word on the Mac you probably should have your files scanned just in case. CB On 6/18/14, 9:30 AM, Cheryl Homiak wrote: Yes, of course! Windows is still Windows wherever it is!

I don't give Windows direct access to my Mac's drive as usually being able to cut and paste between the two worlds does what I need. You can also set it up where you can copy files from the Mac to the PC and back. While PC viruses in files moved to your Mac won't effect your Mac, you might pass them along to another Windows user who will care. Also, while few voiceover users will care about Office for Mac because of its near total inaccessibility, any Word macro viruses are, by definition, cross-platform. So if you do use Word on the Mac you probably should have your files scanned just in case. CB On 6/18/14, 9:30 AM, Cheryl Homiak wrote: Yes, of course! Windows is still Windows wherever it is!

Re: running Windows on a Mac
Curious where the memory requirements info came from? I have a stock Dell Windows 7 box which uses 2.15GB with no apps running while my Mac Pro Mavericks box with no apps running takes 1.8GB. Maybe my own machines are somehow unusual so I'd be curious where you found out about Windows taking less memory. To me they seem pretty similar. CB On 6/14/14, 7:59 AM, Kevin Barry wrote: Certainly.

Re: Selecting Items to add to a playlist in the new iTunes
Hi, So far, the only thing you can do would be to use the VO selection method of VO-cmd-return on multiple items. This though, would be extremely tedious if you had to use this method for large numbers of songs. This sort of thing has happened before in iTunes and has been fixed in later releases. It's just too bad that whatever developer(s) who work on iTunes keep breaking it in this manner. Later...

Re: Kudos to Apple Accessibility
it's more than possible. This was also a while back, so perhaps things got better. I put in another email a bit ago when I heard of good success, so we'll see where it goes. I'll report success or failure on this thread just for another viewpoint. Thanks, On 6/18/2014 12:29 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: Tyler, maybe some messages found their way to the spam folder?

command+o won't open folders on external drives anymore.
I've just noticed recently that for some weird reason, command+o won't open the folders on my external drive as well as my flash drive anymore, and have to expand the folders I want to open if I want to see anything in them, which can get annoying at times.

Which folder view are you using. With list view, you can go into the folder with command-down-arrow and back into the enclosing folder with command-up-arrow.

Pianopub problem?
Hi I just downloaded pianopub for the third or fourth time now. I am having a big problem. I cannot log into the app with my account. I logged in on my iphone just to confirm I am entering the correct info when attempting to sign in. my wifi also keeps disconnecting. I need to move my network to the top of the list but do not know how to do so with voiceover.

tutorials for VoiceOver
Hi all, I don't actually have my Mac yet, but I was wondering if there were any other resources I should consider, besides the $20 textbook by Janet Ingber that I just purchased from National Braille Press. I have also read some of the Getting Started with VoiceOver and Mavericks that is featured on the System Access Mobile Network, to try and familiarize myself with VoiceOver. Are there any other resources I can sign up for? I do know about the Mac Masters series through Fedora Outlier, but since I don't have the Mac yet, I was looking for any other books I could be reading up on beforehand. Thanks so much.

over drive books
Hi there everyone. I have a program called Macsome Audiobook Converter that works great for audible books, but from what I can tell it doesn't work for over drive books. That is unless I'm overlooking something. Does anyone know of a program that can convert these books like Macsome Audiobook Converter can do for audible books?

I don't know which converter to use, but most Overdrive books are wma Windows Media files, so you'll need one that will convert from that format.

Re: command+o won't open folders on external drives anymore.
Hi, Works fine for me. I tried it in Icon view and List view with cmd-o and it opened normally. Column few wouldn't open with cmd-o, but that's normal I believe. In Finder Prefs, I checked and unchecked the box for opening Finder windows in Tabs with no difference. Do you have QuickNav on? I do not so that may be the case. Later...

Re: command+o won't open folders on external drives anymore.
I don't use quicknav, and find it confusing as ever, and always use listview sense I've always found it easiest, so not sure what the issue is.

Comparing VO Keystrokes in OS X and iOS?
Hi, all, If my poor old late 2009 Mac Mini doesn't have a fried logic board, I'll replace the hard drive so it can limp along for another year. If it's destined for the scrap heap, I'm going to get an iPad. I'll probably use a keyboard with it. I use a Braille display and the virtual keyboard with my iPod 5th gen and iOS currently. I'm wondering if a lot of the basic VO functions work the same with the same keystrokes, such as opening apps, text selection, etc.?

Re: Kudos to Apple Accessibility
Hi, I am just flat we have the level of structure in accessibility that we have in ios. I love the support, although I don't like that I have to make a phone call just to set up a rescue email address to reset my account questions. But over all, I love apple customer support and the knowledge that apple accessibility has about VoiceOver and how it all works. I've never once had to contact them, but the storied I've heard have been nothing but great in telling of apples commitment to accessibility. And while I still have problems with activating again my book share account with mobile safari, I still love VoiceOver.

It's easy to find in the calendar app. I reported such and got a very nice note back stating that the issue has been documented and passed to the appropriate department. Yeah, I know, that sounds like lip service but I don't think so. I think it actually got done. I also received detailed instructions for how to report the problem of VO losing focus on some IOS apps. I thought at first it was just the Amazon app but the more I explored the issue, it seems to happen to a lesser degree in other apps as well.

Re: Comparing VO Keystrokes in OS X and iOS?
A lot of the IOS key strokes are similar. For example, you can hit Left and Right Arrow together to turn Quick Nav on and Off. You can hit Left and Up Arrow together to switch between rotor settings then Up/Down Arrow to move to the next or previous rotor item. One thing you can't do on IOS is hit Command+Tab to switch between open applications. If you are in an edit box, you can hit Option+Shift+Arrow key to select text just like on Mac OS.

How to remove write-protection from my USB-stick or flash-drive, whatever they call them these days
Hi, all! I've got a 32 gigabyte flash-drive I'm tyring to use on my Mac, it's one of those Fat32 format ones, so I cna use it on my windows and on my Mac computers, but I keep getting an error that it's write protected, and that I should remove the write protection from teh flash-drive before I can use it again. I've googled it, and found oodles of stuff to do it on windows, but the only way I could find to do it wan't accessible with my screenreader. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to do it on my Mac? And no, I've heard that some flash-drives have a switch to protect and unprotect them; my flash-drive is not one of those. Thanks! You can email me offline or on Mac Visionarries, though emailing me personally will help more, otherwise I may not get your responses. God Bless!!!

Re: Comparing VO Keystrokes in OS X and iOS?
One consideration is that, aside from battery life and a few iPad-only apps, the iPad offers no significant advantages (that I can think of) over the iPod. At the least, they are identical in terms of VO keystrokes, so hook a keyboard to the iPod and see what you think. I believe you said you have an iPod - if not, ignore me. smile No, command-tab won't work, but go-h is your home button; press h twice while holding down the vo keys and you are in the App Switcher. It is kind of similar to the Application Chooser on the Mac. Certainly it is far less convenient, but the option is there. I like having a full computer for apps the iOS platform can't run (Xcode, some nice Youtube apps, etc) but those aren't a concern for you. However, someone mentioned external drives, and that's a great point. Also, iOS lacks commanders, so no assigning frequently used actions or even ApleScripts to gestures or keystrokes. Overall, because of the shortcut key support in apps Not necessarily in VO) I find the Mac or a Windows machine more efficient to use. That's just me though. Finally, the new Macbook Airs, and even the Pros from the brief times I've felt them, have very little in the way of vents or other holes. They use solid state drives, so have no moving internal parts except for some amazingly quiet fans you really can't access (the Airs seem to have no fans, but I could be wrong). Debris, then, is really not as much of a concern, and of course they make a myriad of cases for all these devices.

Re: Comparing VO Keystrokes in OS X and iOS?
Hmmm, thanks, Alex, that's an excellent suggestion. Teresa Winging its way from my iPod On Jun 18, 2014, at 7:03 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: One consideration is that, aside from battery life and a few iPad-only apps, the iPad offers no significant advantages (that I can think of) over the iPod. At the least, they are identical in terms of VO keystrokes, so hook a keyboard to the iPod and see what you think. I believe you said you have an iPod - if not, ignore me. smile No, command-tab won't work, but go-h is your home button; press h twice while holding down the vo keys and you are in the App Switcher. It is kind of similar to the Application Chooser on the Mac. Certainly it is far less convenient, but the option is there. I like having a full computer for apps the iOS platform can't run (Xcode, some nice Youtube apps, etc) but those aren't a concern for you. However, someone mentioned external drives, and that's a great point. Also, iOS lacks commanders, so no assigning frequently used actions or even ApleScripts to gestures or keystrokes. Overall, because of the shortcut key support in apps Not necessarily in VO) I find the Mac or a Windows machine more efficient to use. That's just me though. Finally, the new Macbook Airs, and even the Pros from the brief times I've felt them, have very little in the way of vents or other holes. They use solid state drives, so have no moving internal parts except for some amazingly quiet fans you really can't access (the Airs seem to have no fans, but I could be wrong). Debris, then, is really not as much of a concern, and of course they make a myriad of cases for all these devices.

You can hit Left and Up Arrow together to switch between rotor settings then Up/Down Arrow to move to the next or previous rotor item. One thing you can't do on IOS is hit Command+Tab to switch between open applications. If you are in an edit box, you can hit Option+Shift+Arrow key to select text just like on Mac OS.

If it's destined for the scrap heap, I'm going to get an iPad. I'll probably use a keyboard with it. I use a Braille display and the virtual keyboard with my iPod 5th gen and iOS currently. I'm wondering if a lot of the basic VO functions work the same with the same keystrokes, such as opening apps, text selection, etc.?

Re: command+o won't open folders on external drives anymore.
What view are they using? Column view has this behavior.
