Re: Apple Scripts
Right now I tried the following: I deleted „command down“ in the line which should perform the click. It seems to work most of the time. Funnily enough it still performs a hold down mouse key from time to time. But what’s mor of an issue: the click doesn’t always work. The click sound occurs but the checkmark isn’t always clicked. Any idea? Did you tried it yourself? All the best Jürgen Am 07.11.2014 um 12:58 schrieb Jürgen Fleger apple-engl...@fleger.net: Hi Alex, thanks a lot. It worked so far that the mouse performed a click but obviously it was not a normal click but a hold down click. So I had to release the mouse cursor manually. Could you have a look on the script and help me to understand, wether I’mright in this? And are you willing to add something in the script so that it performes a typical single mouse click? That would help me a lot to have such a script. BTW: Recently I listened to a Podcast by you on Applevis. I enjoy very much to have now a voice for your name. :-) And I enjoyed your Podcast as well.

Re: Loudness issues
Hi, thanks for all your answers and sharing your experiences. That's very valuable. Now I know the english speaking users don't experience this. I wished it was so simple. But unfortunately it's not connected to Ducking. I know the ducking function and I think it's a good idea of Apples. The issue I discribed is a real swaying of loudness that sometimes takes 10 seconds to take place. I suspect the german voices of nuance that don't work properly together with VO.

Re: Blue tooth headset
Hi, I can reccommend the Plantronics Voyager Legend or, and this is a really smal nice one, the Plantronics M155. Both support VoiceOver and music and they are single ear headsets. All the best Jürgen Am 21.02.2014 um 06:43 schrieb David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com: Well, there are several factors to consider. First, the headset must support the A2DP (AADP) profile. This profile is the stereo music channel, so almost all stereo bluetooth headsets support it. If the headset states it plays music, whether single ear or both ears, it most probably supports A2DP. When shopping online, check the tech specs to be certain. No brands support A2DP profile across their entire line. Usually, the more expensive bluetooth earpieces and headsets support A2DP. Are you looking for a single earpiece or a stereo headset. The single earpiece is more likely to not support A2DP. If A2DP is supported, VO will automatically work through the headset. If not supported, VO will only come through the headset during a call. Otherwise, VO will speak through the device speaker, just as it does currently. If you want two-device simeltaneous support, the Motorola elite series, Motorola H17TXT and H19TXT, and the PlanTronics Legend, all support this.

Or will the voiceover be completely mute to me? I am on the hunt for a super easy to use headset that will pair very easily where maybe I don't have to type in a code to pair it all the time because I would like a headset that I can use with several devices. Like my Mac, my iPhone and a bluetooth transmitter I am going to purchase that I can stick in the headphone jack for various audio devices in my home. It would be great if it could pair automatically, if that feature even exists. :) Thanks for any help pointing me in the right direction.

Re: Box Sync bogs down menu extras.
Hi Daniel, yes, I experience the same issue. It happens if my MacBook is not connected to the internet.

Re: Popup Menus in Numbers
Hi Tim and Nic, could you tell me how to create a pop up menue in Numbers? I looked for this posibility but couldn't find it. Same thing with checkmarks. Do you know where to find them as well? Thanks and all the best Jürgen Am 23.01.2014 um 16:38 schrieb Tim Kilburn kilbur...@gmail.com: Hi Nick, Try this with pop-ups: 1. Navigate to the cell with the pop-up menu. 2. Route the mouse to the VO-cursor with VO-cmd-f5. 3. Turn on Mouse-keys. (Press the Option key five times if you’ve set this up in System Preferences.) 4. Go right 85 to 90 times. (Letter “o” on a laptop or smaller keyboard and NumPad 6 on a extended keyboard) 5. Click the mouse-keys mouse. (Letter “i” on a laptop or smaller keyboard and NumPad 5 on an extended keyboard) 6. Turn off mouse-keys. (Same process as #3) 7. Move through the pop-up as you normally would. This doesn’t solve the issue that VO doesn’t tell you that you’re actually on a pop-up menu cell nor is it particularly pretty. The 85 to 90 pixels right may change depending on the width of your cells but this appears to work for a standard width cell. This mouse-keys stuff sometimes works in apps that the developer has placed custom elements in that aren’t visible to VO. It’s a lot of trial and error though to actually figure out something useful for the VO user. WorkGroup Manager has an entire section that is coded with some sort of custom element and I need to mouse-keys down 250 or so then left or right about 140 (or some other numbers I’ve had to determine) to activate specific preference panes for managing MacOS clients. This is a huge pain for me, has been this way since the start of VO in Tiger and Apple has yet to address it as far as I know. It’s especially frustrating when I’m interrupted and lose count or just lose count when my mind wanders. Anyway, give this method a try and see if it works for you.

Re: sony sound forge pro
Hi, Sound Forge for Mac is very much accessible in terms of basic functionalities. Navigating and editing works fine. Recording isn't accessible. All you can do is start and stop a recording but the Mac gets very hot then and VO says busy busy. So that's not fun at least to me. When it comes to more advanced editing functions VO doesn't read properly the contents of the windows. And what I miss very much is the scrubb functionality of the windows version by pressing j or l. That doesn't exist in the Mac version. But beside of that it works fine for simple editing. But in my opinion it's to expensive just for that.

MB Air 11 2012 sluggish with Mavericks
Hi Mavericks Users, I experience a MacBook Air 11 from 2012 as very sluggish under Mavericks using Apples german Voices. Especially if I change the active program using CMD + Tab. This issue does not accur if I use the english voice Alex. So I got just very little hope that someone can confirm this issue here. But who knows. :-) Do you have an idea how to solve this issue? I wondered wether it might be helpful to delete the downloaded voices and download them again. Maybe there's something wrong with the installation. Does anyone know where I can find the voice files for Voiceovers voices?

Hi Anne and thanks for your answer. As always, very helpful to me. :-) All the best Jürgen Am 08.12.2013 um 10:00 schrieb Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk: Hello Jürgen, You’ll find Mouse Keys under Accessibility in System Preferences. The default hot key to toggle Mouse keys on and off is Option 5 times. When Mouse Keys is on, the 9 keys with the letter ‘i’ at the centre, take control of the mouse which you click with the letter ‘i’. So, to move the mouse upwards, you keep pressing the 8 key, and to move it downwards, you press the letter ‘k’. To make good use of Mouse keys, you need to have VoiceOver announce what is under the mouse with no delay. You set this in VoiceOver Utility, Verbosity category, announcements tab. The check box is Speak text under mouse after delay after which comes the slider that you set to zero.

Re: hq voices in iOS 7?
Hi Tim oh boy, what a strange thing to do on my iPad 3. Actually I expected the same way you described in your e-mail. That's how it worked on my iPhone as well. But here it was more strange: The hq voice in german weren't show up on its own. So I tried to download hq german voice in VoiceOver language rotor settings. But the switch for german was dimmed. Then I checked wether it was possible to download another language in hq quality. This time I was lucky. I could download hq UK Daniel. After I installed Daniel hq I was able to install german Anna hq. After the installation of Anna hq the standard voice - which in my case is german - shifted to hq as well. Now I have a standard hq voice but I had to install a german hq voice for the rotor before. Isn't that strange?

There should be a More Info button after each language within the Rotor. Double-tap on the one you wish to upgrade. 5. Double-tap on the Enhanced Quality button and the HQ voice should begin downloading. This may take a while depending on your network speed and the size of the HQ voice. If the voice is not in your Rotor, double-tap on the Add New Voice button and add the voice you wish to appear in the Rotor.

The only alternative that seems to be workable is to use a third party app named Audiobooks Player ($4.99) by Mario Adrian: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audiobooks-player/id660933412?mt=8 Since this costs $4.99, I wasn't inclined to try it out for accessibility, and in any case I don't feel that we should have to purchase another app to fix the problem that arose in the music app in iOS 7. The poster stated he was using it successfully on both an iPhone 5 and an iPad mini. This was confirmed by another user who had used software to construct audiobooks with chapter organization. Apparently, you can also authorize the app to play audiobooks with DRM (such as Audible, or purchases from the iTunes Store) if you go into the app's settings, but one of the posters stated that the app crashed the first time he tried to launch it for playing an Audible audiobook. (I would just use the Audible app for that.) Just thought I would report in the results of further investigation on this topic.

On Sep 28, 2013, at 1:10 PM, Nicholas Parsons mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com wrote: HI Jürgen, You're right, I'm sorry. Before sending you that last email I saw the track list button but didn't press it. Later that night I was reading an audiobook and tried using it, but it only showed me the audio files, not the chapters/tracks. In my case it was a book from audible which was in two parts (that is, two files) which were each divided into chapters. After tapping the title, I could see the two parts/files. Annoyingly, VoiceOver read out the length of each file before the name, which is a change (and a bad one) since iOS6. Once I started playing one of these files I could use the next and previous buttons to skip through chapters/tracks. However, tapping the track list button merely brought up the two parts/files, not the chapters. More annoyingly still, the time scrubber thing now shows the time for the entire file, not just the chapter. This is another change since iOS6. In iOS6 it would just show the time for the current track, now it has the time for the whole file. As the time for the whole file is longer, so the increments it skips are larger when you flick up or down. So for me, I could skip forward and back by 15-30 seconds using the buttons either side of the play/pause button, or skip forward/back by one hour blocks with the scrubber. This discrepancy made it really difficult to find my place in the book. I think this is worth writing to Apple accessibility about and explaining the affect this has on VoiceOver users. I presume it's fine for sighted people as they can probably just touch the scrubber at the point they wish to be, whereas VoiceOver users have to flick up and down by set increments. This is really disappointing as one of the reasons I loved my iPod and iPhone was the awesome way in which Apple handled the playing of audiobooks.

Hi Nik, thanks for your reply. In iOS 6 there was this button but it has changed in iOS 7. It's still there but the function is different now. If I press on it all the audio files apear the audiobook contains but not the chapters of a book. In iOS 6 the chapters apeared after pressing this button. Could you please try this button out and see if it's the same for you? Can you see just the audio files of this particular book or can you see the chapters?

Chapters in audio books in iOS 7
Hi, in iOS 6 in the Music Player, I could double tab on Titles and all the chapters of an audio book apeared. After pressing this button in iOS 7 the only thing I can choose from are the available audio files of this specific audio book but no chapters. Do you know a solution for this issue? I structured all my self encoded audio books in chapters and miss this feature now a lot.

Re: can't seem to edit my bookmarks in safari
Hi, the same happens to Safari on my iMac.

Status on a braille display
Hi Folkes, I've read about the meaning of the different status modules on a braille display. There are some I didn't understand. Could you please help me to get what they mean? General status: dot 3: System Volume, what does it mean if it's there or not? dot 4: VO focus, what does that mean? dot 5: Keaboard focus, I don't get that either. dot 6: chosen, does it apear if text is selected? Text status: dot 8: quote block, does it mean a quote block on the internet? Extended status, third braille sign on the display: dot 7: shorted dot 8: expanded I hope very much you'll get what I mean because I simply translated the meanings to english and I'm not sure about the correct terms in your language. So could you please help me to understand what the meaning of these braille dots is? The other ones were clear to me.

Re: What I think Apple needs to change: was: Re: best way to navigate Mail when Quick Nav is on?
In my opinion interaction really is very efficiant because it's so logical. But on the other hand it's not obvious to people who are new to this on the Mac when to interact and when not. There are to many different names for things you can interact with: groups, scrol areas, tables sometimes but not on the web with DOM, lists sometimes but not on the web with DOM, toolbars, sidebars, browser etc.. And what makes their confusion even worse is that you actually should interact with for example the browser in a finder window but you don't have to. But if you don't interact some functions are not available like clicking on a file by pressing VO + Spacebar to open it. So I met quite a few beginners who were very unhappy of this inconsistency. I'd rather have hot spots fully functional. With them the more experienced users wouldn't have to worry about interacting or not. Unfortunately they are quite buggy in many ways.

What is frustrating is that it is not always clear when one needs to interact. Trial and error and lots of keystrokes and wasted time result. I certainly do agree that tabbing until your finger falls off isn't the best solution. But I do wonder if there might not be a more innovative means of efficiently navigating complex screens. Sometimes, it isn't even clear, for instance, that you are in a situation where interacting again would yield more info. I'm thinking of nested tables as an example. VO doesn't always announce the fact that you have moved into a level 12 or even 3 table or that you could do so by interacting. Maybe that is a coding issue, not a VO issue. I do wonder if there are actual blind users who work for Apple who have experience with other operating systems. I say that not because I want to see some other approach duplicated, but because I've seen too much tunnel vision coming from folks whose only experience is with one or another os.

Re: question about lowering volume of segment of track in garageband
Hi Ioana, I'm afraid it's not possible in Garageband to lower the volume of a specific part that easyly. What you could do is to cut the part out, copy it to another track to the same beat as it was before in the other track and lower the volume of this new track. You could achieve it in Amadeus Pro but it's not so simple for me to explane because I don't know what I could expect you to know. You'll need a little bit of background knowledge how Amadeus works and what key commands are available. So, what about learning a little bit about Amadeus Pro and then come back to ask a more specific question. Alternatively Here the way just in case you are an experienced user: 1. Load the file to a track. 2. Listen to the point you want to start lowering the volume and press Spacebar. 3. Press CMD + y to move the insertion point to the play head. 4. Press m to set a marker. 5. Listen to the point where you want to stop lowering the volume, stop by pressing Spacebar and press CMD + y again.. 6. Press CMD + arrow left to highlight the track from the insertion point to the marker. 7. Now you should be able to lower the volume by using the volume settings in the menue.

Re: Evernote?
Hello, I'm not sure about signing in because I signed in a long time ago and it remembers this. But the App itself is very accessible. I'm using it quite a while now on two Macs and on my iPhone and it works great for me. Of course it's always a question of what to do with it but as far as I use it it's completely accessible. What I don't like about it is using the editor of Evernote in iOS. But the sign in process might have changed, I don't know. All the best Jürgen Am 06.07.2013 um 15:44 schrieb Donna Goodin doniado...@me.com: Hi emilio, I'm a little confused. You say that when scrolling through the list of titles you have to interact with the scroll area to view the note, which makes sense. But then you go on to say that the note is an image. Does that mean that you can't actually read the note? Thanks, Donna On Jul 6, 2013, at 3:08 AM, Emilio emilio.s.hernan...@gmail.com wrote: Hello everyone, The primary issue with signing into EverNote is something with which sighted help will be needed. The “sign in,” button is not visible with voiceover, but once this button is pressed, entering the correct credentials will make the program as accessible as it will be. The primary caveat with EverNote is that when scrolling through a list of already crated notes, one must return to the “scroll area” to view the note in focus. In most cases I just upload notes using the iPhone, but I would like to start uploading notes from the iMac. Additionally, it does seem that in my experience when uploading notes the title is announced by voiceover, but the contents of the note are an image, so this is something to contend with. I hope my feedback has been helpful. moreover, I would encourage all of those users thereof to write the company, so they can have more feedback and suggestions on how to improve with application for voiceover users. Hope this has been helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: What is vo-enter for?
Hi, you can start highlighting text where it's not possible by simply using Shift + arrows by pressing VO + Enter and end it the same way. Then you can press CMD + c to copy to the clippboard. It worked fine until Lion. Since Lion and also in Mountain Lion I experience it as very unreliable. If I highlight text in a pdf file for example and copy it to the clippboard mostly it's a different part of the text I actually highlighted. But that's what it's been supposed to be. So press VO + Enter to start highlighting, move the cursor by pressing VO + arrows and press VO + Enter to end highlighting.

Re: how to scan double sided pages with epson wp4535/finereader express
Hi Anne, I used VueScan a while ago. It seems to me you use it regularly. Could you tell me three things please: 1. Is it still so that I have to save the scanned text as a file on the harddrive before I can read it? 2. For me the huge amount of settings were always confusing and when I wanted to find something specific I had to search a long time to find it. Are there still so many settings on the start screen or did he change that? 3. What for me was the most dificult thing that VueScan didn't recognized script orientation automatically. Is this still the case? Thanks a lot for your answers and all the best Jürgen Am 24.06.2013 um 10:35 schrieb Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk: Hello Anouk, I don't think FineReader can do what you want, but VueScan can. In the Input tab of VueScan, you can set Autorepeat which should work for your scanner. If you set VueScan to produce TIFF files, then you can set all such files to always open with ABBYY FineReader. In any case, you can try VueScan for free. It leaves a watermark on each scanned page, but at least you can find out for nothing whether it works for you.

Hi, I now downloaded the demo version of Prizmo 2 and all in all it seems to be very accessible. Great. But what doesn't work is to scan a text. If I press CMD + Shift + i to scan, a dialogue apears where I need to choose a scaner. In the scrol area I found CanoScan LiDE 200. but no OK button There's just a cancel button. Pressing enter doesn't help either. So, is anyone familiar with this app and could tell me how to start a scan process?

Re: Prizmo
Hi Anne, thanks for the reply.. From what version of Prizmo are you talking? I downloaded version 2.0.7 and from my first impression it seems pretty good. There are no unlabeld buttons - at least I haven't found them. Also: In the settings I could enable recognition of orientation - at least that's what I understood from the first option in Settings / General. Thanks for the hint regarding the necessary mouse clicks in Prizmo. That worked. I clicked on my scaner and it scanned. But I agree it's not very intuitive what comes then, all the necessary options and settings. That's also not to compair with Open Book for Windows. Really a shame Docu Scan Plus doesn't work for german texts.

Re: Prizmo
Hi Anne, OK, that's really bad. Actually I conciddered to buy Prizmo but now I'll think about it. ;-) What I don't like on Finereader: - my scaner isn't recognized by Finereader - I'm not able to scan more than one page in a document - before I can read the text I have to save it as a document But maybe I'm wrong and it's just the wrong settings. What do you think about that? BTW: I'm not able to open settings in Finereader for Mac. My guess was it's just an express version and so there are no settings. Or do you know of a full version? All the best Jürgen Am 09.06.2013 um 19:15 schrieb Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk: Hello Jürgen, I've got the latest version of Prizmo. I had to delete the version that was on my MBA as it wouldn't work any more and download the latest version. I bought it quite a while back and, although it was usable then, it was messy. I still think it's messy compared with ABBYY FineReader which I use on a regular basis. I also use VueScan to capture multiple images before handing over the file to FineReader if I have more than a couple of pages to scan. I really think Prizmo is messy. Oh, and the unlabelled buttons, perhaps you have VoiceOver set to read the help tags - I don't. I've just done a direct comparison between Prizmo and FineReader on a double page of a book.

In addition, the ratios of C02 produced relative to oxygen consumed are different for these three major nutrients. This ratio, the volume of C02 output divided by oxygen intake (VC02/V02) is 1.0 for carbohy- drates, 0.70 for fat (triglyceride), and about 0.85 for protein. This ra- tio is called the respiratory quotient (if corrected for protein oxidation) or respiratory exchange ratio if we just use the raw number, ignoring protein metabolism. But because protein burns at 0.85, right in the middle, correcting for it tends to change the results little if at all. Thus you'll often see RQ and RER used interchangeably. A useful rule of thumb to remember is that a liter of oxygen consumed produces about 5 kcal of metabolic energy. So a person sitting quietly reading this chapter with an energy expenditure of 1 kcal/min is con- suming about 200 cc of elemental oxygen per minute (1 liter t5). If he or she had a bagel and orange juice for breakfast, most fuel being burned is glucose, so the RQ would be -1 and C02 production would be about the same - 200 cc/min. However, if that person were follow- ing a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet, 02 consumption would be the same but C02 production would be a lot less, about 140 cc/min (i.e., an RQ of 0.70 is indicative of virtually pure fat oxidation).

Some of this is water weight due to reduced glycogen reserves (the body stores 3-4 grams of water along with each gram of glycogen). But then if all subsequent weight loss comes from fat, and a 500 kcal per day deficit results in a pound per week rate of loss (assuming a pound of adi- pose tissue contains 3500 kcal), this weight variability within a 4 pound range can lead to a great deal of frustration and misunderstanding for the individual.

Hi Esther, thanks for the info. Yes, I haven't followed Anne's post to DocuScan Plus. I'm not aware of Prismo as an app for the Mac. What about the accessibility of the new version? Can you say something about that? Is it already out?

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites
Hi Guys, as someone said in an earlier post: I don't want to crash the party but it still doesn't work for me. I did everything exactly as Tim described. I disabled VoiceOver cursor in VO settings under Visual and set the level from 4 to 1. I removed the preview pane and tried all the possibilities with Zoom switched on and off. I also tried everything out in full screenmode and in normal mode and pressed VO + Shift + F2 to be very sure the window was in foreground. I also interacted with the name of the smart mailbox and tried it without interacting. What really worked for the first time was, that VO allowed to drag the smart mailbox that I want to move to the Favoritesbar. But what ever I did I was not able to drop the mailbox, neither to the favoritesbar itself nor to the specific place in the favoritesbar I want it to be. So dear Tim, I'm very grateful for your efforts finding all this out and I think it was successful for the people answering this thread but me. If you have any other ideas to try, please let me know. I'd love to have the possibility to move mailboxes to the favoritesbar. And a general thought: In my opinion Apple has to work on this to simplify the way of using drag and drop. That shouldn't be the necessary steps to accomplish a drag and drop action. I don't think any beginners will manage this. One strength of Apple should also be for blind users: Apple is easy and intuitive to use.

Jürgen, I'm not sure Tim's instructions included disabling VO curser, did they? I thought it was just setting the magnification to 1? Brian, Not sure about the Apple menu business. Hopefully that's a problem that might go away by itself. But as to pressing VO-command-space on a favourites bar item to remove it, that should never work as clicking a favourites bar item should check that mailbox and make it active. VO-command-shift-space might work, but you might run into the same problem. Maybe try getting out of full screen mode and moving the Mail window down to the lower part of the screen. I think the keystroke is VO-command-accent. I'm guessing that somehow your Drafts mailbox is close to the Apple menu. Moving the Mail app window down away from the top of the screen might help avoid this. Cheers, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

First, does anyone know if it is possible to set voiceover preferences and then send these preferences to someone else so they can then use them in their own VoiceOver settings? I have a friend who uses VoiceOver, but lives half way around the world, so it would be better to e-mail a settings file to him. Although I could explain how to adjust settings for application menu short cuts and so forth, it would be much quicker if I could set these myself and then send him a file that he could simply put in a specific place. Then he could use the preferences I have set, including application short uts, pronunciation preferences, etc. My other question has to do with my own computer. I have two accounts -- one for personal use and another for professional uses. Is there a way to share my virtual machine Windows between these two accounts? Right now when I go to the other account and VMWare Fusion, it welcomes me to VMWare and aks me to eitehr load a VM or install a VM, etc. If possible, I would like Windows on the VM on the professional account to mirror the contents of my professional account, meaning any files on my Desktop, etc. I can't imagine much I would need the VM on my professional account for expect for maybe Excel, MS Word, and the like, but I would like to have the option. So is there anyway of doing this without completely reinstalling Windows? Thanks, Harry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites
Just for fun I tried again to move a mailbox to the favoritesbar in Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 by using VO + komma. I closed the preview pan, maximized the window and pressed VO + Shift + F2 to get the window even more to the foreground. It didn't help at all. The message: the window could be hidden by something. So Brian, unfortunately you are not alone. And I agree that Apple could have and should have fixed a whole bunch of issues which occurred since Lion and went on in Mountain Lion. The only way to bring Apple to see and fix these issues is to send e-mails to accessibil...@apple.com as often as we can and describe the issues as detailed as we can. That's my opinion.

We are aware of the problem, but can't say when it will be fixed. Something so simple as them reversing the web spots so when you click VO command right bracket takes you right instead of left, would have been nice. If they can't fix that which to me seems something very basic to fix, and worked correctly in Lion, I don't put a lot of stock in any VO improvements until the next operating system comes out. I get that only a very small percentage of people use VO, and that Apple cannot commit a great number of resources to it, but just be honest, instead of treating us like idiots waiting for a fix. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate Apple's commitment to accessibility, it's the leading us to think there will be improvements that annoys me.

They confirmed that nothing was blocking the mailbox I was trying to move, and I was still getting the same message. I had them drag and drop the mailbox using the mouse, and they were able to do it in 2 seconds, so yes, this is obviously a bug with Voiceover which leads to having a I hate my mac day, as I hate not being able to do something so simple that should take me two seconds.

When it says something is hidden, I think it usually means there's some other window or application blocking that item on the screen. Using VoiceOver it is of course very difficult to get an idea of what this might be. So what usually works for me is just closing that window or application and opening it again. Also try closing any other windows you might have open. Use the windows chooser (VO-F2 twice quickly) to see if there are any other windows or notifications open. Try quitting all other applications before you try dragging and dropping again. The commands you're using should work. VO-COMMA and VO-PERIOD in full screen mode nearly always works for me. Best of luck.

Re: deleting mailbox from favorites bar
Hi Donna, at first: thanks for your suggestion for dragging a mailbox. I'll try it out and let you know what happens. You can move or even remove a mailbox in the favoritesbar by drag and drop. When I used the feature in Lion most of the time it worked that way. To remove a mailbox completely just drag it from the favoritesbar to the mailbox table.

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites
Hi Nic, oh, please feel free to give me more ideas what to do to solve the issue. I tried your suggestions to change the view to the modern view. I actually prefere to use classic layout but just for this it was worth a try. Unfortunately it didn't work. My hope is Apple will develop VO further so that everyone can use all the features.
