Hello Nektarios,
I bought a MacBook Pro a week a go myself and so far liking it. to
answer your questions.
VO-M-M brings you to the icons menu, you should get on the time machine
icon, use VO-right or left arrows to cycle through the icons. Battery
and clock are both in there. I believe time
I installed and uninstalled skype three times, the fourth time I tried
the older version and that made my issues go away. When it mounts, you
should see that as an external harddrive or CD/DVD, if you use
VO+shift+M you get the context menu and one of the options in there is
eject, click that
Hello Sharon,
I know two people that got a Pearl and sent it back. Like a flatbed
scanner it seems to not like anything that wasn't completely flat and
consequently screwed up the OCR proces into unreadable gook. Getting the
orientation right for scanning seemed to be another issue for them.
Before I'm going to give my impression of my MacBook Pro, the OS and of
course VoiceOver gathered over almost two weeks, let me introduce
myself. I know I've posted already to some topics, but I just haven't
really said anything about myself and I figure it's time to rectify
that. For those
No podcast coming from this corner. I think the Mac-related ones out
there have things covered pretty well. At one point I may write a few
articles in Dutch about Mac and VoiceOver though, because it doesn't
seem that popular here, which I think has more to do with people not
being informed
I have a couple of friends that use the Zoom H2, which can record
straight to MP3. The default I believe is wav files, but that's
adjustable. You may need sighted assistance for the initial setting of
preferences, but after that you should be good to go. A friend of mine
has a document with
1. The internet isn't a safe place, so always be aware of possible

to do regardless). When filling in a form with personal info, like
creditcard info I tend to check if the url starts with https:// rather
than http://,
I'm not very familiar with the MBox mini. What I could quickly find is
that it has a mic and an instrument input and that's it as far as inputs
go. This is enough for personal recording, but if you want to record
multiple instruments at the same time this may be a bit too limited.

There are multiple options for hooking up an electric. too many for me
to mention here really.

It does list some external sound cards with 1/4 inch jack inputs and
other guitar-specific
A jack-to-minijack plug would work, but most instruments need a PreAmp
to boost the volume to reasonable levels. Though with a jack-to-minijack
you could hook up an amp to the mac pretty easily, but you will lose
instant monitoring if your amp doesn't have more than one output. Aside

I think it must be accessible. I keep hearing some friends go on about
it and among them is at least one VoiceOver user. I was planning on
taking a look at it at one point myself.

hello folks,
I just got the beta and I just have to say that this is quite a bit
better. OK, the layout has changed, but it's a fairly logical layout.

the right (reminds me a bit of Itunes really). Also I saw they have

left or right arrows. To get to the HTML area quickly, I just type any

Pretty nice. I had to struggle with it for a bit to get it working
properly, but now it does and I like it. On general principals I don't
want websites to bother me with flash, but having the option to play the
flash that was hidden before, is a definite plus IMO.

I have that one unchecked. I think when I had that checked earlier, I
visited a blog page and it played all the videos on there (6 or 7 at
least) at the same time, which was a mess.

Hi,
I was just familiarizing myself with Itunes and I was wondering about
the following. Let's say I have an album with 16 tracks, but I only want
to listen to two of these tracks. How do I go about deselecting the
other tracks after I have selected them? I think it would get rather
annoying
Ah, I didn't think of the context menu., but that works quite well. At
least it makes it faster to get to the actual listening and enjoying bit.

I'm updating right now. 600some megs for an update is quite substantial
really. Did Apple actually list the VoiceOver fixes anywhere?

I'm grabbing it right now, though I had to go to Apple menu, then
software updates to make it work. From within Itunes it told me there
was a file it couldn't find. Good thing there are multiple ways to get
it working.

All the language bundles are standalone as far as I know. That said, at
one point I'm going to get the Dutch voices to cover surfing Dutch
websites without having to decipher what exactly is being said by an
English voice (which can be done, but not very efficiently).
As I'll be switching
Cool, thanks.

Hello,
I just grabbed the Dutch voices for the 30 day trial, but after
installing them they don't show up in voiceOver utility or in the speech
settings. Am I missing something, because the isntallation was
successful or is this a limitation of the trial period?
Thanks, Ruud

I was jealous the other day, not because of an Imac, but my girlfirend's

I'm not sure, but I don't think the nano has a recording function or
even a microphone built-in. The only one I can be sure that has that is

recorded things pretty well. Aside from that it has 32 or 64 GB, so
that means

You'll automatically get the getting started thing when you start

As far as I'm aware the radio bit only works when you have the
headphones/earbuds in as it uses those as a receiver. It's all a matter
of what you want to do with it in the end, if it has a camera that's
cool, but for skype you'd definitely need a built-in mic or have the

anyway. So, as far as I know mudding and mac with VoiceOver, nope.

want to keep up the current success of said phones, then investing in
the networks will eventually result in an even bigger success rates. If
