Agreed, this  is very annoying.  I've switched back to using control option for 
my VO modifier.  Not sure if there’s any way to turn this off,  or if it’s a

Hi Jess, welcome to the list, and  to the Mac 
as well.The MacBook Air is definitely a good machine.  I’ve been using Macs 
here since 2008,  and  don’t think I'd ever switch back over to Windows.  I 
like that with a Mac, I can pay the same price anybody else would, without 
having to pay for something like JAWS, on top of the cost of a windows machine.

Re: Managing your server list in TeamTalk on the Mac?

2022-09-30 Thread 'Dan Eickmeier' via MacVisionaries
Nice, I got an account on GitHub, so I could use the discussions page 
on teamtalk, and  after having brought it up in their discussions page on 
GitHub, the issue of deleting servers from the server list, or user accounts on 
a server on which you’re an admin has been fixed.  Now when focused on a server 
in the server list in the connect window, or a user in the user accounts 
window, we can just hit the delete key, and we’ll get a dialog, asking whether 
we want to delete the server, or user account.  It works nicely.  This is in 
the latest beta release.  I have my TeamTalk client set  to check for beta 
updates.  I don’t do any kind of development, but after having emailed, I was 
encouraged to use the discussions section of their GitHub page instead,  so I 
did that.  They seem to pay more attention to stuff over there, rather than 
email.

Re: Mac Keeps Crashing

2022-09-26 Thread 'Dan Eickmeier' via MacVisionaries
Hi Faith, I have a few things that  may help you here  to determine which 
process is causing the Mac to reboot and crash like this.   You could  go  into 
the console app, and have  a look at recent messages in the console log.  That 
may give you some idea as to which app is causing this.  The console app is in 
your utilities folder.  Secondly, looking at crash logs may help as well.  
These are located at the root of your hard drive, Library, Logs, crash logs.  
What I like to do as well, is set up a clean user account, you could just call 
it test, to troubleshoot whether this crashing is a user account specific 
issue.  .  Hope this helps.

Managing your server list in TeamTalk on the Mac?

2022-09-26 Thread 'Dan Eickmeier' via MacVisionaries
Hi all, I’m running Team talk on my 2020 Intel macBook air here.  I’ve got some 
old servers in my server list that are no longer up.  I can’t find any way to 
delete them out of my server list?  this is weird, as I’d think you should be 
able to delete servers that you no longer want out of there.   There is a 
remove entry button, but that doesn’t seem to do anything, the server I’m 
trying to delete is still in there.  I have TeamTalk set to check for beta 
updates in preferences, so I’m running the latest beta update that's out there. 
 Teamtalk 5.11.0.5095.  Selecting things in lists, such as your server list is 
better in that version, you can just arrow around.   Also, there doesn’t seem 
to be a way to delete user accounts, if you have a server that you’re an admin 
on.  If anybody has figured out a way I can do these things, I’d greatly 
appreciate it.

Re: a good recording app?

Hi Shirley, I’d highly recommend Amadeus pro.  It’s available both in the mac 
app store, as well as directly from the Developer’s website at: 
https://www.hairersoft.com/pro.html .  
Jonathan Mosen has an excellent tutorial on it, using it from a voiceover 
users’ perspective, , which I believe you  can still get from http://mosen.org 
.  Hope this helps.

Re: Fan runs on hi speed when Installed catalina.

2019-11-12 Thread 'Dan Eickmeier' via MacVisionaries
Hi Anders,  I found the  same thing with my MacBook air too initially.  I’d 
turned on voice control, just to check it out, and see if i had much use for 
it, or could use it with VO, and I found that  the dictation process, was like 
eating up have my CPU.  switching off voice control did the  trick.   the fan 
slowed right down.  Not sure  if you’ve got that, or some aspect of dictation 
enabled, but if you do, you might try turning that  off, and see if that  calms 
things down.

Re: clean my mac x

hI Jeff, Onyx works fine here.  What I would do, is go into system preferences, 
security and privacy, and on the privacy tab, go under accessibility, and make 
sure  that Onyx is one of the apps checked in that section.  If it isn’t, check 
it, or you may have to add it in there.  and then you should be good to go.

Sending higher quality voice messages in Mac OS 10.14.4?

2019-04-19 Thread 'Dan Eickmeier' via MacVisionaries
Hi all, I’ve updated to MAc OS 10.14.4, and according to the release notes, the 
quality of audio messages has been improved on the MAc side, as well as on iOS. 
 On iOS, it works great for me,  voice messages I send, are nice and  clear..  
However, on the MAc, an early 2014 MAcBook air, I’m getting the same, low, 8K 
quality as before.  Is anybody else experiencing this?  Is support for sending 
higher quality voice messages, not available on the mac yet, despite what the 
release notes say?

File transfers in Messages in mac OS Mojave?

2018-10-02 Thread 'Dan Eickmeier' via MacVisionaries
Hi all, in High Sierra and OS’s before that, in Messages, I could go to a file 
transfers window, and look at files that people have sent me through messages.  
This was useful, if I wanted to send somebody else a file that I’d  received 
over iMessage.  In Mojave, this file transfers window, appears to not be there 
now.Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Go to Webinar

2018-09-23 Thread 'Dan Eickmeier' via MacVisionaries
Hi Lorie, I highly doubt that go to webinar would be all that accessible.  I 
use regularly, and really really like zoom.us.  They’ve done a great job, with 
accessibility, there are a few issues with text chat panels, where VO won’t 
read the sender of messages in hte message list, and the dropdown menu in the 
window to join a meeting, that has meeting history, when you it VO space to 
look at the items in there, they  don’t speak.  I have reported both of those 
issues, hope they are resolved in an update

Re: Experience Switching to Mac

2014-04-06 Thread Dan Eickmeier
I've been using a Mac here since February of 2008, and have not  had any
reason to switch back to Windows.  Like a lot of people on this thread, , I got 
tired of having to pay to keep a JAWS SMA updated, and I also had it with their 
system of ILM authorizations.  I too, had  to have my activations  reset a 
number of times as well.  And what got me really interested, and wanting to go 
to the Mac, is the fact that we can do complete reformats, and OS installs with 
VoiceOver.  Even with the unattended install scripts that are out there for 
Windows,  and that Winstaller app, which has become popular now, we still have 
nothing close to being able to get the  OS, and do an install with full speech, 
or even Braille.

 Subject: Re: Experience Switching to Mac
  
 Hello.  About ten months ago, I was declared legally blind.  I have been on 
 the search for a full diagnosis and prognosis since.  No luck.
 
 In December, when my Windows 7 machine became totally unstable, and had been 
 reformatted three times in less than a month, I bought a  Mac.  I figured, if 
 I had to learn a screen reader, it was best to do so on one where the screen 
 reader came built in.
 
 So far, no luck learning how to use the screen reader though.  I can turn on 
 and off.  That's about it.  I have a 40 page list of random commands, and 
 can't figure out what any of the are supposed to do.  A dictionary would 
 help.  Perhaps the lines above or below that don't make sense are supposed to 
 tell me what they do?  
 
 I used to be a web designer, and I thought a screen reader should be easy to 
 learn to use.  After all, I'm good with with computers.  
 
 I'm also horrible with foreign languages, and figured braille would be 
 impossible to learn.  I started the first contracted braille book I'm reading 
 last night.  I started learning braille last November.
 
 I still use a Windows 7 computer at night.  It takes about 15 minutes to turn 
 on, and every scroll of the screen takes forever.  I don't count on it for 
 anything.

Re: BusyCal Support

2013-10-30 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Good that you’d emailed busy  cal support.  Hopefully they’ll respond, and 
implement better accessibility.  I’d tried the app a couple years ago, and I 
found the same thing, the actual calendar area wasn’t visible to VO at all.  
And when I went to switch back to   what was iCal at the time, this was on Snow 
leopard, I found that it wouldn’t launch.  Well, it would launch, but VO would 
say iCal has no Windows.So somehow, putting on busy cal, totally messed up iCal 
for some reason.  Had to do a total reinstall of the OS at the time, to get it 
back.  Before doing that however, I tried rebuilding the launch services data 
base with Onyx, this would fix it temporarily so I could use iCal again, but 
then later, it’d act up again.  Don’t know why that happened.  After that 
experience, and the inaccessibility of busy cal, don’t think I’ll be installing 
it again, until there are improvements in accessibility.Luckily that time, 
I’d just installed a trial version, so I wasn’t out nay money. .

 Dear BusyCal Support Team,
 
 I downloaded the trial of BusyCal for Mac. I absolutely love the features in 
 BusyCal, which are so sadly missing in the native OS X Calendar.
 
 However, unfortunately I haven't been able to use BusyCal properly.
 
 I use VoiceOver—Apple's built-in screen reader for OS X—to access my Mac. 
 Voiceover is a utility for people who are blind or have low vision. It reads 
 out information on the screen and allows users to control the Mac with the

 All the controls, preferences etcetera of BusyCal are accessible with 
 VoiceOver, but sadly the actual calendar part of the application—presumably 
 listing the days of the month and events etcetera—appears completely 
 inaccessible with VoiceOver. From a VoiceOver user's perspective, the 
 calendar part of the app is invisible.
 
 It would be fantastic if you could make your app accessible with VoiceOver. 
 Thankfully, Apple makes this much easier than one might expect, given the 
 support for VoiceOver it builds into the Mac.
 
 Apple provides an introduction for developers on accessibility in OS X, 
 including VoiceOver, at the following link:
 https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Accessibility/Conceptual/AccessibilityMacOSX/OSXAXIntro/OSXAXintro.html
 
 Apple provides a general overview of VoiceOver for consumers here:
 http://www.apple.com/accessibility/osx/voiceover/
 
 Additional information for developing apps that are accessible to VoiceOver 
 users can be found on the AppleVis website at:
 http://www.applevis.com/information-app-developers
 
 I would gladly welcome any news from BusyMac if/when you improve its 
 accessibility so I can spread the word among the community of VoiceOver 
 users. Additionally, if there are any settings, configurations or the like 
 which you believe might assist VoiceOver users in accessing BusyCal please 
 let me know.
 
 Many thanks for your time and consideration.
 
 Kind regards,
 Nic

 Hi Kristeen. 
 VoiceOver should recognize your Focus 40 Blue, whether you are using your

 compchter with Blue Tooth. I have with my Mac and iPhone. 
 
 The one thing that I am finding is that you will want to connect it within 
 the VoiceOver utility. With my braille display, even after it's on the list 
 of devices, if I go to the turn Bluetooth on and try that way, I get an 
 error message, even though it's on the list. 
 
 When you connect it within the VO utility, y'blind want to make sure you 
 have the braille display turned on before you tell Vo to find it. That 
 sounds obvious, but these things can be kind of sensitive if they don't 
 find each other right away. 
 
 After Vo finds your display you will then be asked to put in a code. Some 
 of them are 1234 and some are , so others here can tell you what the 
 code is for the Focus 40 Blue. 
 
 After that, you should do ok. Congratulations on getting a braille, of

 I emailed accessibility at Apple and they insisted VoiceOver is able to

Hi William, , not sure what issues you're exactly having when it comes to

and then imported the file that I'd saved previously, and it worked flawlessly.

 So, a clean install seems a good idea to determine if I had software-problems

 I have discovered that I can't import all my preferences of voiceover even if 
 I use separated vopref-files by item or if I use a global vopref-file that 
 was created before or  after the introduction of mountain Lion.
 
 I can't understand this at all since that bug was also announced since 10.7 
 and since there where also other comments on this lists about this treads, I 
 am shore others have reported this also.
 
 Even, the speech bugs with the nuance voices aren't fixed where some things 
 are spoken strange if there is a dot in the word without spaces before or 
 after the dot.
 This is also a bug since 10.7 and, one year and a major release later, no 
 changes in this.
 
 Do they have other priorities are there not enough people, is the last time 
 of voiceover announced and perhaps something new is coming (with new problems 
 of course like outspoken before voiceover)?
 
 
 I am angry that this kind of bugs still exists after one year and a major 
 release.
 
 frustrated regards,
 William

Re: Preview versus skim?

2012-08-05 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Skim is no better as far as access to things like tables in PDF's, compared to 
preview is it?  
On 2012-08-05, at 1:16 AM, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote:

 Hi Chris,
 
 Skim has been referred to as Preview on steroids.  It's free and open 
 source with a creative commons license, and gets frequent updates.  You can 
 download the latest version from Source Forge:
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/skim-app/files/
 I don't know that there are any cons about using Skim, except that since it 
 has a lot of options, there's more to navigate in the basic distribution, and 
 it has more features than you will use.  The quick description is that it is 
 laid out very much like Preview, but supports annotation, so there is a 
 second sidebar for notes.  Because it uses the same base as Preview, any 
 limitations that you find when reading PDFs in Preview will show up in Skim.  
 So, for example, bookmarks take you back to the page you were reading but not 
 to the exact spot in the page (unless you set hotspots).  On the other hand, 
 there are expanded features, such as being able to organize your bookmarks 
 into folders.
 
 One situation where someone might clearly want to use Skim over Preview, is 
 if they were reviewing a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation that was exported 
 to PDF.  These don't play nicely with Preview, even using Full Screen mode.  
 But Skim has an additional Presentation mode for viewing, and you can 
 easily display presentations in this mode, controlling page transitions, etc. 
  So this is an easy and accessible way to give a text-based presentation or 
 to review notes from the text content of a presentation.  
 
 I originally started using Skim because it maintained more stable focus 
 behavior than Preview in operations like search and find.  When there are 
 really good Skim features eventually they get adopted and show up in later 
 versions of Preview.
 
 By the way, since Skim is supported as an open source effort at Source Forge 
 and is freely available there and not through the Mac App Store, there's a 
 Skim rip-off being sold in the Mac App Store as PDF Reader.  It's based on 
 an old version of Skim, and I'm rather surprised that Apple hasn't pulled 
 this, since there's no support, and the distributor is just profiting from 
 the (old version) open source efforts of Skim.  Since a number of Mac users 
 follow Skim, and it's highly rated at various download sites like MacUpdate, 
 a few people bought the version in the App Store when it showed up thinking 
 that it was put out by the people who work on Skim.  It's not, and you'll 
 just be paying for an unsupported, old version.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

 Subject: Re: merging several PDF files into one.
 
 
 Hi Chris,
 
 It's actually possible to merge PDF files with Preview if you can drag and 
 drop to the thumbnails in the sidebar, but I don't think this works with 
 VoiceOver drag and drop -- at the very least it would be difficult.  If you 
 have Skim downloaded there's an embedded SkimPDF command line tool that lets 
 you perform operations like merging and extracting PDF files in Terminal.
 
 If you look under: /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/  there are 
 three applications: displayline, skimnotes, and skimpdf.  You need to copy 
 skimpdf to somewhere in your default path with executable permission using 
 your Admin password.
 
 Open Terminal and type or paste in:
 sudo cp -p /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/skimpdf /usr/bin/
 
 and press Return.  You'll be prompted to authorize with your Admin 
 password. The cp -p does the copy preserving permissions so you can 
 execute the commands.
 
 Then to merge two pdf files from the command line you can type:
 skimpdf merge file1.pdf file2.pdf merged.pdf
 
 The specification of an output file like merged.pdf  is optional.  I think 
 if you don't specify an output file, the second file just gets appended to 
 the first, but you should experiment.  You can also find out the syntax of 
 commands by typing:
 skimpdf help
 
 For more information, take a look at the SourceForge wiki for Skim:
 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=Main_Page
 
 Then use the link for the SkimPDF Command Line Tool to find out more. 
 There's also a specific SourceForge wiki for the SkimPDF command line tool:
 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=SkimPDF_Tool
 
 There are probably other sources of merge tools around the web, but this 
 works if you already have Skim anyway, and are comfortable with the Terminal 
 command line.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

2012-08-03 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Apple mail does support  exchange.  I'm assuming that your work account is 
probably an exchange account, so you could probably set it up in Apple mail, if 
they're using exchange 2007 or later.  I'd do that, to avoid the head aches of 
dealing with any kind of   web mail

 Hi everyone!
 In order to check my work email when I'm out of the office, I have to use MS 
 Outlook web access. On Windows, I can select either a premium or basic radio 
 button when logging in. The basic view is much more accessible. 
 Unfortunately, I'm not able to access these radio buttons on the Mac. It's as 
 though Safari skips over them. I really would rather not boot into windows 
 every time I want to quickly look at my work email. Does anyone have any 
 suggestions? I know people had previously talked about installing Chrome. Is 
 it still VO accessible or do I need to install ChromeVox? I've also heard 
 mention of something called Webkit. Is that some kind of Safari extension? 
 Forgive my ignorance on this matter, but I'm very new to the world of 
 extensions and the like. Might this webkit provide a solution? Thanks so much.

Re: Mac mail help

2012-08-03 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Hi kirsten, i'd say that Apple mail  is one of the best mail clients i've used. 
 I'd used outlook 2003 for a while, but didn't really like it, that was back 
when i was on Windows though.  WHat it sounds like to me, from  what you're 
describing, is that you have two accounts  set up in mail, or that you've set 
up the same account twice?  I'd take a look in Mail, preferences, accounts, to 
see if somehow,  you may have done that.  ?  Also, to get new mail, you can 
just hit command-shift-N.  HOpe this helps.

Re: Mac mail help

2012-08-03 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Well, the btinternet account sounds like an ISP provided account.  Not sure  if 
your ISP provides  iMap, POP3, or both.  Most ISP provided email is Pop3 
though.  You might want to call your ISP and check to see wihcih they support.  
If I have multiple devices, say a Mac, and an iPhone for example, iMap would be 
better to use.

 Now what I might say may be something that people may not like but I am one

 People say that they may be disappointed with one thing or another and it is 
 their right to do so of course.
 
 But when anything new is released, there is going to be bugs etc as I have 
 been a beta tester and know how hard people work to get a product into shape.
 
 So rather than people complaining as people seem to do, why not just send 
 your concerns to Apple Accessibility and rather than bashing a product work 
 with them to improve a producct?  It would be so positivve to do that and 
 sit and be passive about things as everyone would make a difference.  If 
 everything was plain sailing, life would be dull.  So chill and think to do 
 something positive.

Re: Braille Support Broken in Mountain Lion!

Cool, when you pair a bluetooth display on the mac, do you have to do it 
through system preferences, bluetooth, ?  Like you would with a keyboard, 
headset or any other device like that first?  And then go into VO utility under 
Braille, and set it up there?  Or is it all done in VO utility?  Was going to 
try my Humanware Brailliant BI40 over Bluetooth, and I was  assuming that I'd 
have to go into system prefs, and bluetooth, , but that didn't seem to work.  
It'd see the device, but refuse to pair.  Should I actually be doing it all 
through VO utility?  And avoid the bluetooth system preference pane, and the 
area where I can set up devices in there altogether?

 I just tried to use my RefreshaBraille 18 display this evening and it doesn't 
 work here anymore.  First off, I had previously defined it under Lion and 
 successfully used it several times.  Tonight after the ML install, it would 
 never connect.  So then I removed the device from the bluetooth list in the 
 Braille device section of VO.  Then when I tried to pair it back up, I kept 
 getting an error that VO couldn't load a device driver for this device.  Has 
 anyone else had success getting any braille displays to work under Mountain 
 Lion?
 
 I will probably give Apple a call about this.  I sure hope they didn't break 
 support like they did with the Hims devices on IOS.  BTW, I never got 
 prompted to enter any pairing codes and I usually do when hooking up the 
 Refreshabraille display.

Re: Braille Support Broken in Mountain Lion!

2012-07-26 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Ok cool.  Got it.  It paired up nicely, with no problem at all.

 Yes, it is all through the vo utility. Go there, select braille from
 the table, select the displays tab, select your display (which should
 be on and ready at this point) from the table, and hit pair. You will
 then be prompted for a pairing code, and be ready as you may not have
 much time to type it. My apex's code is  (four zeros), so I
 imagine all hw displays have that same code. Type in the code as soon
 as you hear the new window sound, then hit enter as the pair button is
 default (or should be). After a second, the display should pair. If
 you have problems, try going back into bluetooth preferences and
 forgetting the display in there, then do the above procedure again.
 Also, double check the documentation to be sure the pairing code is
 right.

 Subject: Braille Support Broken in Mountain Lion!
 
 
 I just tried to use my RefreshaBraille 18 display this evening and it
 doesn't work here anymore.  First off, I had previously defined it under
 Lion and successfully used it several times.  Tonight after the ML
 install, it would never connect.  So then I removed the device from the
 bluetooth list in the Braille device section of VO.  Then when I tried to
 pair it back up, I kept getting an error that VO couldn't load a device
 driver for this device.  Has anyone else had success getting any braille
 displays to work under Mountain Lion?
 
 I will probably give Apple a call about this.  I sure hope they didn't
 break support like they did with the Hims devices on IOS.  BTW, I never
 got prompted to enter any pairing codes and I usually do when hooking up
 the Refreshabraille display.
 
 Any ideas here?

Re: is a paid screenreader for the mac a option?

2012-06-27 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Hi all, I think a paid screenreader would create an environment like we have in 
the Windows world, relying on third parties to develop scripts for apps that 
don't work well out of the box, having to wait for those scripts to be updated 
if something is broken in an app update, OS update etc.  I got tired of this 
reliance on third parties, and a  reliance   on scripts in general to make  an 
app accessible.  Also   having to spend a lot just to get access to the system, 
was somehting that I'm happy not to see on the mac.  Love it that you can just 
get a Mac, and have access to it right out of the box.  .  I like Apple's 
model, as it allows developers to test their apps, just by hitting command-f5, 
and having knowledge of three or four VO keystrokes.Usually dialog with 
developers in my experience has been good, some hasn't  been  as good, but if 
anything, we can make developers aware of the fact that their app could 
potentially be made accessible.  Regarding later versions of Skype, I'd compare 
the UI to iTUnes, where you have your source list which  in the case  of skype, 
contains items like contacts, and then recent events, such as chats,etc. Then 
to the right of that table, you have  information related  to whatever you have 
selected  in that table.  I found the skype 5 interface to be a good change, 
and haven't   had the need to use Skype 2.8 since.

 rather, that's up to the app developers.  That's how it is in the Mac

Re: No Carbonite on the Mac

2012-04-03 Thread Dan Eickmeier
My experience with carbonite is that it actually is  fairly accessible.  ONe 
issue  I do have, is  when I attempt to look at my backup, I can't  drill down 
into my backup, like I can any folder that has sub-folders   in finder, I seem 
to get taken back to the top level of my backup when attempting to do this.  
It's interesting that Carbonite support actually said it's totally inaccessible 
with VO.  the  system pref pane is actually not too bad in my opinion, with the 
 exception of that one issue.  Carbonite like a lot of third-party  apps does 
have an item in the menu bar, which we cannot access.  Aside from  that, I've 
actually been very happy with carbonite  on the mac.

Re: Autologin and auto start VO?

Hi Bill, those options are under the users and groups preference pane in system

that'll   say Users, groups, and log in options, list.  Interact with that, and 
go down to log in options.  Stop interacting, then if you VO-right arrow from 
there, you'll find both the settings you want, to control auto-login, and 
whether   VoiceOver will start on the log in screen or not.  HTH.

Re: Still having dropbox issues

2011-11-26 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Hi, This menu bar icon that he's referring  to, is on the status  menu where 
you have your wifi status, the clock, your bluetooth status, etc.  A lot of 
apps will  put status icons up there.  Unfortunately, we do not have access to 
those which are  put there by third-party developers with VoiceOver.  We sort 
of had access in previous versions of Mac OS X, but even that, wasn't proper 
keyboard access like we should have.  We had to route the mouse, to the 
VoiceOver cursor, and then use the  physical mouse, or the trackpad, constantly 
checking where the mouse was with the VO keystroke to do that.  With the 
release of Lion, that access that we did have, via that workaround, 
unfortunately has broke.  For some reason, from what i've heard, developers 
can't even expose their menu bar icons  to VoiceOver, so that we can  have 
access to them,  , as that is an API which Apple does not make available to 
developers.  Why they never did make it available in the first place, , is 
beyond me.  As I have done, I'd encourage you to write to Apple accessibility, 
to let them know about this issue.  If we could have access to these 
third-party menu bar icons, that would take away barriers that we currently 
have, with the lack of access that we have to them now.   .

 Hi, I'm still not having any luck with dropbox. 
 I got a response from the tech guys at dropbox.com and he said I should try 
 unlinking and re-linking my dropbox so that hopefully I would then get access 
 to all my files-as it is currently empty and I know it's quite full in 
 reality. 
 He said to go 
 1) Right click the Dropbox icon in the system tray at the bottom right of 
 your screen, by the clock on Windows or menu bar at the top of your screen on 
 Mac.
 2) Select 'Preferences'
 3) Click the Account tab and then the 'Unlink' button
 
  So where is this menu bar/icon he's talking about? I know exactly what he's 
 talking about regarding Windows, but not for Mac. 
 If I open dropbox in the applications window it says 'dropbox has no windows' 
 and every time I try to get to preferences it says 'finder preferences'. 
 Thanks. 
 Kirsten.

Re: mudding on the mac

2010-12-09 Thread Dan Eickmeier
mudding is playing text adventure games.  WHich i never did on WIndows  and  
don't really care for at all.  Certainly for those that  like to do it, there 
clearly isn't an accessible  solution for the mac yet.

 Hi marlaina, there absolutely is.  Try the address panel, which you can access

Re: problems saving using save as in text edit and pages

2010-11-29 Thread Dan Eickmeier
H, interesting.  Can't say I've experienced this in either app.  Maybe try 
a permissions repair?  Don't know for sure , but maybe something  is screwed up 
with permissions somehow?  To do this do the following:
1.  Go to the finder,
2.  HIt command-shift-U to go to your utilities folder, which is a sub-folder 
of your applications folder
3.  Find disc utility, and VO space on that, or command-O, either will open it
4.  ONce in disc utility,  one of the first things  you'll come across is  a  
table where you can select the drive you want.  IN that table, select macintosh 
HD by interacting with VO-shift-down arrow, and VO up or down arrow, until you 
hear Macintosh Hd.  5.  ONce you've selected MAcintosh HD, stop interacting 
with that table with VO-shift-up arrow.  6.  VO-right arrow over to the first 
aid tab, and select it with VO-space.   7.  On that tab, you'll find a repair 
permissions button, click that with  VO-space.  If you go further to the right, 
you'll then see progress as to how the permissions repair is coming  along.  
When it is done, try saving a file in either text edit or pages again.  Even 
thoughyou  probably  already know about interacting and stopping 
interacting in tables Marlaina, I'm posting these detailed steps , as it seems 
we're getting people new to the mac, or who are thinking  about getting a mac,  
on this list all the time.

 Ok, this is a weird one!  I suddenly, as of about 3 days ago, can't do

 press command shift s for save as
 type in the new file name (I have to do this because of a need to save 
 previous drafts)
 navigate using either vo right or tab to select the file type which is always

 navigate using vo right or tab to the default save button
 press vo space and vo says save button pressed
 
 results:  nothing; the save-as dialogue box is still open, and the file does 
 not save.  I have tried all the above and pressing enter on the default save

 around and it works for him just fine.  I have checked with vo f5 to see that 
 the mouse is on the save button, and it always is.
 
 Did my Air get ticked off at me because I took it on a great cruise, or is it

 need to know, what is fare market value for her notebook, assuming that she 
 still has a year and a half worth of apple care on the thing?
 
 I think it's the very first 13 inch macbook pro.  The one with the sd card 
 slot on the left hand side.  It's not customized in any way, so 2.2 ghz 
 processer, 250 gb hard drive, 4 gb ram, OS10.5 leopard.
 
 assuming that it has the remainder of her apple care, what would you say is 
 fare market value for the computer?  I tried looking it up on Ebay, but I 
 can't find anyone selling used macbooks.  They are all new, and priced 
 accordingly of course.

 for the life of me figure out how to follow a user. No matter where i 
 looked, there didn't seem to be a way to follow a user.
 Secondly i had a really hard time with the auto completion feature. No 
 matter how i did it, i could not get it to accept that i wanted to DM a user 
 not in the list, i had to give up alltogether, because the autocompletion 
 put the cursor where i didn't want it and i couldn't find a way to actually 
 place the cursor where i wanted it, so that i could complete the name of the 
 user i wished to DM. Once i managed to convinse the auto completion that i 
 would write to a person not in the auto completion list, but that was only 
 once, and Lord knows how i did it, so if anyone has some hints about how one 
 goes about to make working with Yurufukuru less of a battle and more of a 
 pleasure, i'd be ever so greatful.

 trashed.
 
 Now, when I go ahead and do a cmd+o to open it, I get the message saying that 
 DropBox has no windows and I can't do anything to close the program.
 
 I think that some info is escaping VO, so therefore this question here on

 Could be a general procedure that I am doing wrong here.
 
 Hope to hear from someone who managed to delete the application.

utility is foun under /applications/utilities.  Open it, and you'll find 
options under a new submenu uner hte file menu for createing disk images.  YOu 
can create one from a folder, or create a blank one, and put files in it as you 
want.  
Hope this helps.  .

 Hi All,
 Is it possible to password protect documents? In MS word I could set 
 documents so that you have to have a password to open the document. IS this 
 possible with the Mac?
 Thanks,
 Laura

Cannot get an Apple bluetooth keyboard to pair with my Mac, but it'll pair with my iPod touch?

2010-09-09 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Hey all, got an Apple bluetooth keyboard today, so I could use the bluetooth 
keyboard support in iOS on my iPod touch.  I was able to pair it successfully 
with  my touch, and it worked  well.  However I cannot seem to pair it with  my 
Mac, as i want to use it with my iMac as well.  I turned off bluetooth on my 
iPod so  that the  keyboard wouldn't be connected to it.  Went into the status  
menus on my Mac, under bluetooth, , turned bluetooth on, and went to setup 
bluetooth device, and there weren't any discoverable devices.  WOuld've thought 
that the keyboard would've been seen, but it wasn't.  Any thoughts anyone?

 Try turning the keyboard off, then back on. When a device first connects to 
 it, it turns off Discoverable so other devices will not see it. Turning it

 I haven't had any problems with Voiceover but after reading some recent

 My question is the best way to do this and where to save the file.
 
 I located the export preferences in the file menu under preferences in the  
 VO utility  which seems very simple.  I've read older messages which talked 
 about going to the library and saving the Voiceover 3 folder and others 
 saying to save plist files.
 
 Will the export preferences be all inclusive?
 
 Now, the silly question is where to save it?  It seems to not matter but I'm 
 still wondering where.

 Here's where the trouble begins.
 
 I VO right and left arrow to the user name and password fields and begin to

 which is confirmed by VO and begin to type, however, the characters are just 
 added to my user name in the user name field even though VO has confirmed 
 that I am in the password field.  Very frustrating.  It is as if VO doesn't 
 read this page correctly.  I tried interacting on the user name and password

 Thoughts?  Ideas?  Thanks in advance!  You guys are great!  :) :) :)

Re: External HD

2010-08-07 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Was going to suggest the same thing, since storage is getting cheaper and 
cheaper, even though there are ways that you could get a mac to both read and  
write to NTFS formatted drives.  
On Aug 7, 2010, at 2:36 AM, Justin Kauflin wrote:

 The Mac can read NTFS partitions, but out of the box, it can't write to them. 
  With that said, it'd probably best if you were able to reformat the disc to 
 the Mac format.
  In my opinion, go head and get another 1TB drive, as they just keep 
 getting cheaper and cheaper, and have that Mac formatted.  Then, you can copy 
 the files over to the Mac formatted and have 2 copies of all your files.  You 
 can never back that stuff up enough:)
 
 Hope that helps

Re: playlists in itunes

2010-08-05 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Hi Sonia, you certainly can add tracks to playlists, it's just a matter of 
selecting them, doing a VO-shift-M, and in that contextual menu, there'll be an 
add to playlist submenu, and in there, you can select the playlist you created, 
and  then hit VO-space on that.  As far as deleting tracks from  that playlist, 
select that playlist in the sources  table, go over to the  songs table, and 
then you'll see the  tracks which you've put into that playlist, and you can

 Hi all. I'm trying to organize my itunes library content by playlist.
 I got some sighted assistance with it. My brother clicked on new
 playlist and dragged/dropped the particular songs in to that new
 playlist. Is there anyway that can be done using voice over commands?
 Also, I'm not sure how to edit these playlists if i wish to do so
 later (like if i want to remove a song or add a new song to one of the
 playlists.) Thanks, Sonnia

I usually just select that contents in the body of the email, and hit delete.

Re: mail and contacts

Hey John, there is an add sender to address book command, which has a shortcut 
key of command-shift-y.  HTH.

 I'm confused!
 
 I want to add someone who sent me an email to my address book, but I've 
 brought up the context menu for the message and looked in all of the menus on 
 the menu bar, and I can't seem to find an option to do this.  So I thought, 
 maybe replying to a message will create a new contact in my address book, but 
 the only contact cards in my address book are for myself and Apple.  Which 
 brings up another question... how do I import the contacts from my IPhone 
 into my MacBook's address book?
 
 Done with questions for now.
