Voiceover and Alva Satelite 544

2010-06-05 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi, I'm trying to connect my Macbook to an Alva Satelite 544 braille display, but it can't be detected. I'm wondering if mine is so old that it's not supported despite the fact the voiceover help says that the Alva Satelite 544 is supported. What else can be wrong? I've set the display to Usb,

Re: Applescript for automatically dragging a loop to the timeline

Hi, I would wait until the new os or the fix or whatever comes out. I honestly don't see the point in being able to get loops into a project, since one or 2 or however many bars the loops are are all we get. Once a loop is in the timeline, we can't see it so we can't manipulate it in any way,

I totally agree with this wish. I also would like the same possibility as in Nambu, where you with a universal hot key can bring up a new tweet window wherever you are, that is, you don't need to be in the program to bring up a new tweet. On the other hand the Yorufukurou shortcut keys are good

Hi, Either it's me or something else, but i find that finding stuff with Safari is getting increasingly harder, and that's not only on Facebook but in other places as well. Things that should be there just aren't, form fields are suddenly and mysteriously gone, only to reappear in other places.
