Re: radio automation software for mac?

[Steve Matzura]

There's Nicecast, but nobody seems to like it much when compared to like 
software on Windows. The price is right, though--less than fifty dollars US.

Re: Having problems with attempting to install windows 10 on my MBP 2014

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

Hi, Simon:

If you're unaccustomed to installing from a file, I can see how this
would be confusing. It's awfully convenient, though, and I'm glad Apple
finally made it available on its OS. As I said, we've been doing this on
Linux forever.


Happy hollidays to you!

Re: Thoughts about Braille displays

['E.T.' via MacVisionaries]

Jonathan,
   While I am still working out some aspects of using a braille 
display, one thing you can change is the amount of time items like the 
rotor shows on the display. Its in the Voiceover settings under the 
braille category. Look for "alert display duration". Max is 7 seconds.


   So far I have not bothered with spell check until I finish typing. 
Then I set the rotor to misspelled words and use space 3 or 6 to find.


   You can navigate text by character, word or line. For paragraph you 
need to assign a command which I have done.


   I set things to 8 dot input and contracted output.

   I've assigned some other commands as well which has made things 
easier. Still need to spend more time with this.

Re: How do I access applications

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Just to add to this info.  While cmd-shift-a opens the Applications folder when 
in the Finder for actual opening of the apps and such, this keyboard shortcut 
is not limited to only the Finder, it also works anywhere you use an Open or 
Save Dialog as well.  The keyboard shortcuts under the Go menu are system wide 
shortcuts.  So, commands like cmd-shift-d for Desktop, cmd-shift-h for your 
Home directory, cmd-shift-a for Applications, cmd-shift-c for Computer and 
more, all work in the Finder, and in Open and Save dialogs.

RE: Problems Restoring A File Using Time Machine

You go into System Prefs, Time Machine and uncheck the Automatically Backup

Hi,

Being "Read Only" should not be an issue.  In fact, I expect that the backup 
bundle is all read only as you are not supposed to modify its contents.  When 
you find the file you wish to recover, use the Window Chooser to get to the 
time Machine controls, choose the recover date then restore the file.  Once it 
is recovered and in your current file structure, it should be read/write.  If 
not, you can Get Info on the file and change its permissions.

I’ve got a late 2014 Mac mini running the latest version of Mojave. I’ve got

however it won’t let me restore a file I need. When I go to the list of files, 
I keep getting “no permission to read” announced with each one. I’m guessing 
this means that for some reason I have read-only access so can’t bring the file

RE: Having problems with attempting to install windows 10 on my MBP 2014

[Simon Fogarty]

And if you don't use bootcamp to remove the attempted install.

You end up with a partition you can't get rid of using BC an Boot camp says it 
cant help with the situation.

In my case I've got 2 partitions one with the mac os on it and one which at the 
moment I cant do anything with.

Just as well I can reimage and start from scratch.

If your attempt to install using Bootcamp fails, you need to use Bootcamp again 
to delete your previous attempt before trying again. You will always get this 
kind of error if you simply try to install again without first clearing out 
whatever Bootcamp did on the attempt that failed.

RE: Having problems with attempting to install windows 10 on my MBP 2014

Hi Janina,

Yes sorry your right,

I had that issue earlier this year with my new mac book pro.

 Confused the hell out of me but it's hard to forget.

Depending on the exact Apple model, you might not need the USB media.
Right around 2014 Apple began supporting installing to Bootcamp directly from 
an ISO image--just like we've been doing for years on Linux.

Apple's instructions that include installation directly from the Windows ISO 
image are here:

Hi Janina ,

Yeah they took it out in either windows 10 or 8.x.

I just go back in to windows sounds and tick the box to use the start up chime.

Even so it doesn't work everytime on my windows machines.

Interesting, Simon. I wasn't aware of that.

Some of us should probably make the same argument with them.

RE: Having problems with attempting to install windows 10 on my MBP 2014

[Simon Fogarty]

Ok, so what exactly is the error message your getting and have you whipped and 
or formatted the drive as a apple format,I'd suggest if you use the external 
set the drive as a mac OS X extended Journeled  format.

Then part of the setup for boot camp is the dividing and partitioning which 
should sort out the drive size,

 And also try selecting the correct partition as there will be possibly 4 one 
of which will be the one you asked for and you then need to do a a format of 
the required partition don't add or delete partitions just format the one you 
have selected as your primary drive.

Hello,
I'm using bootcamp.
I've done all the necessary steps. I even attempted to use a 500 GB usb

My son and I even ran the system diagnostic tool. the one with D held down

So, honestly, I don't know what to do next.
