The problem with your audio isn't the Mac, it's probably your Y

You are correct that Mac Mini's don't have microphones. Your last

doesn't. I have mine connected to my 32-channel digital mixing

Re: new Mac Mini

2023-12-01 Thread Lorie McCloud
could I get a Y adapter that would work? of course this worked on my old one 
which was a late 2014. I know I didn’t have a mic on my old Mac but I did have 
an input jack and I don’t think I do on this one.

Re: new Mac Mini

2023-12-01 Thread Steve Matzura

Alex must be downloaded.


The problem with your audio isn't the Mac, it's probably your Y adapter.


You are correct that Mac Mini's don't have microphones. Your last one 
didn't, either. Mine from 2012 didn't and the one from 2020 doesn't. I 
have mine connected to my 32-channel digital mixing console. I use the 
speaker jack in the back strictly for VoiceOver.

Re: new Mac Mini

2023-12-01 Thread Lorie McCloud
I have some more questions. this is a 2023 Mac. Mini and it’s running Ventura. 
on my old one I had a Y in which were plugged my speakers and my headphones. 
that isn’t working very well on this one. is there a way to have both plugged 
in to this computer? there’s no place for a microphone either I suppose I’ll 
have to use a usb mic.

the voices available are different. did they do away with Alex and if not, 
where is he?

thanks.

between. By the way, if you're not going to be using your Mini
with a monitor, get yourself a Fit Headless donble for that HDMI
port. Costs about five dollars. It's just a couple electronic
components inside a can that make your Mini think there's a
monitor plugged into it when there isn't one. You are correct,
though, that there is no SD card slot. Another thing they took
away is the power lamp. The Mini I got in 2012 had a bright red

Re: new Mac Mini

2023-11-30 Thread Steve Matzura
Oh, I forgot, Anker makes great hubs. Their ten-port 65-watt hub is 
compact and has not only seven active powered USB 3 ports, but three 
more just for charging--i.e., not connected to the computer at the other 
end. I have two of these--one on my desk for various things connected to 
my own Mini, and one in my computing go-bag with lots of cables for when 
I go out on repair jobs and sometimes training.

My personal solution to this problem is to buy a better device than I think I 
need, and then to make it last.

My late 2013-model MacBook Pro is just about reaching the limit now. 
It's one of the oldest systems that could be upgraded to Big Sur. I doubt that 
it will be compatible with the next major release. It's also giving very slow 
performance nowadays, as the latest software is more resource-intensive than 
the old versions were.

Of course, different people have different buying strategies.

The problem with specifications is that it is hard to understand what will fit

I think any of the M1 macs will work okay, but if you are into video production 
or other tasks that require more computing needs, then you would know what 
specs you need.

Logitech makes several good USB HDWebCams that worked well with a Mac mini. 
Some are available with a microphone if that's what you want.

I am thinking of upgrading to the one of the M1 Macs.
So i am comparing the Mac mini with the MacBook Air.
These are the ones I  want.
The Mac Pro has a Touch Bar so that’s not something I never going to use.
But that’s just me.
aTHey’re a bit to expensive also which is something I have to consider but I am 
a bit wondering.
If I get me a Mac  I would like to have as much storage as possible.
Its going to be quite expensive which is strange as you can by a 2 tb ssd for 
less money if you have a pc.
Anyway I wonder how many USB ports and thunderbolt ports there are on the 
respective Mac mini or MacBook Air.
And if I get a Mac mini I would like to have a good camera so I can use 
together with zoom.
All the best from a cold Sweden.
/A

Re: New Mac.

2021-02-06 Thread Brad Snyder
The M1 MacBook Air has only 2 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, and a 3.5 mm headphone 
jack.  No USB-A ports on the MacBook Air.

The M1 Mac mini has 2 USB-A ports, in addition to 2 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, a 
HDMI port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.  The mini also includes an Ethernet 
port.

Apple does still offer the Mac mini with both the Intel i5 and i7 processors.  
Those machines have 4 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, in addition to the 2 USB-A 
ports, and the HDMI and 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as an Ethernet port.

Re: New Mac Pro Orders Begin, iOS 13.3 is Out, iPhone 9 Rumor — MacRumors

2019-12-14 Thread CHUCK REICHEL
Hi lenron,
When you factor several "Pro tools HDX" cards and a video card you'll start to 
see that the Mac Pro is a natural fit.
I already have that mac mini which requires you to buy a external "thunderbolt" 
card cage to house all the Avid Cards & is a bit slower!
Besides with the way the USA economy is doing it will pay for its self down 
stream! :)
Also since the  Mac pro is made in the US it will just ad fuel to the Jobs 
market!

Talk soon

For music recording no way this thing is needed, yes yes I know some can 
justify it some how but lets be real. You can get some real work done with the 
setup you just mentioned. Even a mac book pro would work.

2019-12-13 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Hi Tim,

I just had a quick look at the  XDR screen pricing,

Standard glass is $9,600
Nano texture glass, $10,800

The pro stand: $1,900
VISA Mount: $380

I guess that at a stretch I might be able to purchase a set of wheels and a 
VISA mount,

RE: New Mac Pro Orders Begin, iOS 13.3 is Out, iPhone 9 Rumor — MacRumors

Hi Petrus,
Heres my "rationalization" for including the Mac Pro in to my recording studio.
You can install the Avid Pro Tools "HDX" cards directly inside the mac pro.
The economy is booming here in the USA!
Unemployment is at its lowest in 50 years!
More People have bred in there pocket to use my services!
It will pay for its self!
consumer confidence is at a 20 year high!
The stock market is off the chart!
And the number 1 reason for me is that the new Mac  Pro is proudly "made in the 
USA"!
Talk soon

Re: New Mac User

2019-09-06 Thread 'Devin Prater' via MacVisionaries
That would be me. To do this:
• When you open the Mail app, you should be in the Messages table.
• Interact with that table. You should then be on a message in that table
• Now, interact with that message. If you aren’t on one, Voiceover + Right 
arrow until you are.
• Now, you should hear “unread” or from whom the message is sent. Right arrow 
until you hear the subject spoken; it is passed the time it was sent.
• Now, you can just use Down Arrow to navigate between messages, Delete to 
delete them, (delete is where backspace is on other computers,) or Return to 
open it.
• Note also that you can navigate by sender, or even receive time if you want. 
I navigate by sender in the “Junk” folder, for example.

Hope this helps.

ways, like only saying the subject of an and nothing more if you want, making 
going through email an absolute joy compared to the Windows screen readers. 
Also, one can move and resize windows, and even single controls. One can know 
if an app launches in the background. With the Mac itself, you can have time 
announced. Spell checking, are built in. Auto correct is a joy to use. All this 
could be done in Windows if Microsoft wanted, but it hasn't yet. So, for now, 
Mac is the operating system of the future, for general computing, until iPad 
takes place.

Actually Marie, I was referring not to the QuickStart tutorial, but to the 
getting started guide. That’s a much more in-depth tutorial it’s an actual book 
of chapters devoted to various functions of voiceover. It’s the bottom most 
entry in the help system just below the QuickStart tutorial. It also has 
appendices for various keystrokes and functions etc.  Good luck.

I've used a Mac for a good 7 or more years. Int time, I've used 
Windows, the Mac, and several forms of Linux. The Mac, nor VoiceOver, is 
perfect, but for me, especially for reading Mail, writing documents, or even 
dabbling in code, the Mac is great for beginners, and advanced users too. 
VoiceOver can hold your hand through any task. You'd lead it, of course, just 
like the iPhone, but it would help a lot. Once you're used to things, VoiceOver 
can be used in amazing ways, like only saying the subject of an and nothing 
more if you want, making going through email an absolute joy compared to the 
Windows screen readers. Also, one can move and resize windows, and even single 
controls. One can know if an app launches in the background. With the Mac 
itself, you can have time announced. Spell checking, are built in. Auto correct 
is a joy to use. All this could be done in Windows if Microsoft wanted, but it 
hasn't yet. So, for now, Mac is the operating system of the future, for general 
computing, until iPad takes place.

  Marie, 

  You heard from John already. I recommend you visit his web site at 
macfortheblind.com and look at his audio tutorials. Many are cost-based, but 
there are about a half dozen basic tutorials that are free, and are very well 
done. I learned a lot from John’s tutorials, and also from those done by David 
Woodbridge on appleviz.com (did I spell that one right?).

  I did a lot of listening and struggling in my first 3 or 4 months using 
the Mac, but am becoming more comfortable with the Sox approach.

  I made it a point to become familiar first with the Mail and Textedit 
apps, and then spent a whole lot of time learning how to get around in Finder. 
Calendar and Contacts were a bit more difficult to use, and I’m still not 
comfortable with Contacts.

  Other places you should spend time poking around would be in the 
Voiceover Utility and System Preferences.

  And of course post your questions to this list. There are some real 
experts on board.

Marie, 

You heard from John already. I recommend you visit his web site at 
macfortheblind.com <http://macfortheblind.com/>  and look at his audio 
tutorials. Many are cost-based, but there are about a half dozen basic 
tutorials that are free, and are very well done. I learned a lot from John’s 
tutorials, and also from those done by David Woodbridge on appleviz.com 
<http://appleviz.com/>  (did I spell that one right?).

I did a lot of listening and struggling in my first 3 or 4 months using the 
Mac, but am becoming more comfortable with the Sox approach.

I made it a point to become familiar first with the Mail and Textedit apps, and 
then spent a whole lot of time learning how to get around in Finder. Calendar 
and Contacts were a bit more difficult to use, and I’m still not comfortable 
with Contacts.

Other places you should spend time poking around would be in the Voiceover 
Utility and System Preferences.

And of course post your questions to this list. There are some real experts on 
board.

No, I have not forgotten and it would be hard since most podcasts for 
beginners, encourages new user to go through it at least once. I started it 
this afternoon and had to interrupt it for now but will probably continue 
tomorrow. So far, some of the tutorials and podcasts actually do a better job 
of explaining some things than the quick start. But I definitely will finish it.

Marie, don’t forget to plow through the getting started guide. You can find it 
by pressing the help menu keys VO plus h. The getting started guide is down at 
the bottom of the list. You might find some trouble in browsing at first, but 
try to bring up the table of contents and you’ll find a wealth of information 
about using voiceover on the Mac. Also check out the other items in the 
voiceover help menu while you’re at it. I think you’ll find all you need there 
along with questions on list you should learn quite quickly.

Marie,
You heard from John already. I recommend you visit his web site at 
macfortheblind.com and look at his audio tutorials. Many are cost-based, but 
there are about a half dozen basic tutorials that are free, and are very well 
done. I learned a lot from John’s tutorials, and also from those done by David 
Woodbridge on appleviz.com (did I spell that one right?).
I did a lot of listening and struggling in my first 3 or 4 months using the 
Mac, but am becoming more comfortable with the Sox approach.
I made it a point to become familiar first with the Mail and Textedit apps, and 
then spent a whole lot of time learning how to get around in Finder. Calendar 
and Contacts were a bit more difficult to use, and I’m still not comfortable 
with Contacts.
Other places you should spend time poking around would be in the Voiceover 
Utility and System Preferences.
And of course post your questions to this list. There are some real experts on 
board.

Thanks for the welcomes by you and John. The Mac for the Blind website is one I 
have visited and just downloaded the free tutorial from DEC. I also am familiar 
with Apple Vis since I have been using the IPhone since 2011 and even do a bit 
of teaching in it’s use for newly vision impaired individuals. I believe I have 
the mindset to learn the Mac.
Looking forward to the group interaction.
Marie

   If you give the Mac an honest and complete try, you will find it a pleasure 
to use. I am an “old dog” who learned new tricks in 2005 to switch over, and 
though I will never say it was an easy transition, an open mind and persistence 
paid off. I’d be happy to assist in any way.

RE: new mac books

2019-06-13 Thread Simon Fogarty
Yeah that's true,

 Except for the current situation where I've completely deleted the OS from the 
ssd and it's now not talking to me.

I believe this might be due to file volt which was installed the first time I 
set it up before wiping it to install Mojave latest os version.
Oh well gives me something to play with at work tomorrow.

Hi Janina,

 To late,

I've grabbed the 16GB I7 pro and as for the keyboard well that's something I 
can't get around as apple don't make a better option.
If I get stuck I'll just make changes with a hot stick or something.

Hi, Simon:

Being limited to 8Gb RAM might be a problem if you're running Win10, and 
especially if running in a vm.

But, I should think a keyboard you don't like would be even worse.

Can you hold out to see what comes from Apple later in the year? A lot of 
people are having issues with the newer keyboards. Seems reasonable Apple will 
do something about those complaints.

RE: new mac books

2019-06-06 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Janina,

 That' my thoughts also,

 I can get a 2017 13" air for 2504 NZ dollars,
 But it's got the custom build with 8gb ram, 2.2GHz I7 processor and 512GB ram,
Oh and it's got the older keyboard style,
But now I'm thinking I should just go for a newer pro and get use to the new 
butterfly keyboard as I'm guessing it's not going anywhere quickly.

These days I'm preferring the smallest and lightest physical unit I can get 
packed to the teeth with RAM, CPU, and SSD. So, a 2017 Air might just be the

Re: new mac books

2019-06-04 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries
Hi,

The MacOS version is immaterial to the startup chime.  The chime is part of the 
basic firmware and hardware check, not an OS feature.

Re: new mac books

2019-06-04 Thread Anders Holmberg
Hi!
It should be configurable as i don’t like it.
THere’s a small sound when you turn your mac on without the bootchime.
Its just a half of a second but you really have to have silence around you to 
hear that.
At least that’s what i hear from my mac when i turn it on with no chime.
But i have the Macbook air 11 inch early 2015.
I decided to turn the chime off with onyx.
I actually don’t like the sound at all.
But they could have put another sound there for those who wanted it or as i 
mentioned earlier it should be possible to turn that back on again.

Hi Janina. In Mojave, the 2017 models did make the startup chime. I'm currently 
beta testing Catalina which is 10.15 so I can't say if it's still there or not.

RE: new mac books

2019-06-03 Thread Simon Fogarty
Don't know why they removed something that has been part f the apple computer  
world for many many years,

It use to indicate that all services were functioning correctly.
 Oh and that wally was charging but whether that still fits I can't be sure.

Yes, I'm not surprised. I'm just not recalling exactly when it was removed from 
what models, and whether or not it's now too late to pick up any that still 
have it unused.

As to why, I suspect it's as simple as most sighted computer users, perhaps I 
should say many sighted users have a strong aversion to automated sounds from 
their machines, even at the boot stage.

However, what is not understandable is why this can't be a configurable option 
those of us who rely on it might choose to invoke in ou machine profiles.

I think someone filed a bug, but I also think it was a bug too restricted by 
machine model. I could be wrong.

I can not be sure,
I thought they did,

Really what I want to know is if they would bring back the 11" MBA 
That's what I am going to be replacing.

Hi,

Hmmm, I'm not sure that access to an Apple Store is really a consideration up 
here.  The nearest one is about 500 km south of here.  I guess that if you

Hi,

I've not heard of such a thing and I really doubt that it will ever be an 
option.  They may design a new non-butterfly option at some point, but I 
believe, from history, that once they move forward with something like the new 
design, you're out of luck with them going back.

Can Grub be installed on a recent Mac? If so, it might be your solution.

I know their UEFI implementation is non-standard, but it's still a worthwhile 
question.

Re: new mac books

2019-06-03 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
Yes, I'm not surprised. I'm just not recalling exactly when it was
removed from what models, and whether or not it's now too late to pick
up any that still have it unused.

As to why, I suspect it's as simple as most sighted computer users,
perhaps I should say many sighted users have a strong aversion to
automated sounds from their machines, even at the boot stage.

However, what is not understandable is why this can't be a configurable
option those of us who rely on it might choose to invoke in ou machine
profiles.

I think someone filed a bug, but I also think it was a bug too
restricted by machine model. I could be wrong.

Hi,

I'm not sure why they removed it either.  I've made my noise to some Apple 
System Engineers, but really haven't got any traction.  There's probably some 
firmware level security reason, but I'm not smart enough to know it.

Hi,

The MBP models no longer have the Boot Chime.  I have the 2017 model and it 
does not have the Boot Chime.  I'm pretty sure that all the new release models 
no longer have the Boot Chime.

Re: new mac books

2019-06-03 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries
Hi,

Hmmm, I'm not sure that access to an Apple Store is really a consideration up 
here.  The nearest one is about 500 km south of here.  I guess that if you 
don't have any at all in NZ, then you're doing better, but not a factor in my 
world.

Re: new mac books

2019-06-02 Thread 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries
If you buy a Mac, you’re committing yourself to Apple’s hardware design 
decisions. You’re also acquiring a well integrated combination of hardware and 
software that is generally reliable at the operating system level, and which 
supports a good variety of applications. If you like this  trade-off, then 
that’s fine – otherwise, it’s time to look elsewhere, at least until Apple’s 
next redesign, when you’ll have another chance to evaluate whether the hardware 
is to your liking.

 

Unfortunately, the other options have trade-offs too…

 

Windows-based systems have good software support, good accessibility, and a 
greater variety of hardware options from multiple manufacturers. However, in my 
experience, they take more work to maintain (especially so far as security is 
concerned). I also don’t like Microsoft’s approach to hardware drivers, which 
are developed by each of the hardware manufacturers. If drivers or hardware 
components cause system crashes, these can be very difficult to diagnose – I’ve 
been in that situation. I’ve also encountered more screen reader and 
application crashes under Windows than elsewhere.

 

Linux-based systems tend to be reliable, and support a variety of hardware from 
various sources. The accessibility of the graphical user interfaces (there are 
several of them) isn’t as comprehensive as what you’ll find under Mac OS or 
Microsoft Windows, and there are plenty of those “rough edges” to make work 
difficult at times. The accessibility of the Linux command line and console 
interfaces is superb, however, so for those of us who can work with command 
line/console applications and a graphical browser, it’s a very good 
environment. Hardware drivers tend to be community maintained and centrally 
managed, which in my view is a positive attribute.

 

Chrome OS is a variant of Linux that primarily runs a Chrome browser. If you 
can do what you need using Web-based applications, it could be an option. The 
accessibility seemed quite good when I last tested it, but I haven’t spent much 
time with Chrome OS recently.

 

The conclusion: they all have benefits and shortcomings. Choose the trade-offs 
that best suit your situation and purchase accordingly.
