A question about finereader pro and sending text to an aplication.
Annie Skov Nielsen <annieskovniel...@gmail.com> Apr 29 11:22PM +0200
Hi all.
I really love working with the finereader pro for mac. There is one thing that
annoys me.
I have been using the windows version of finereader for many years, a function
that I really like is the send to function, but this function is not included
in the mac version. I wonder if you could make a script that will send the
document to e.g. textedit but without having to export and save. If anyone
knows something I would be glad to know.
Best regards Annie.

Hi Terje.
I bought the canon canoscan 9000f. This is really a scanner that works. I have
never got a scanner to work as fast as this one.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Best regards Annie.

Hello all.
Is it possible to have these items on my desktop, as they were connected
directly to the iMac, instead being on the Airport Estreme?
Thanks.
Gabriel.

Are you talking about your hard drive? Maybe external or did I misunderstand
your question?

Hi Jim.
If configured so, you may have all the external driver eventually connected to
Mavericks, on the desktop, as you usually have just the main one.
That’s happens when drivers are connected via some port, like USB, or when they
are available in the same Local network.
Unfortunately this seem not to be true for those drivers who are link via the
Airport Extreme.

Hi,
In the Finder Preferences (cmd-comma while in the Finder), you can check the
box to have Connected Servers show on your Desktop. When this item is checked,
there will be an icon representing the network drive displayed on your Desktop
just like when you have a drive connected directly via USB, Firewire or
Thunderbolt.

Where to purchase Amadeous Pro
Jonathan Mosen <jmo...@mosen.org> Apr 30 08:47AM +1200
Hi max, yes, the version from his website is less crippled in a few areas.
I purchased via the App Store when I first got a Mac, and ran into a couple of
issues with more complex functions. The developer converted my purchase so it
would run with the version on his site. To be compliant with the App Store's
guidelines, an app has to conform to Apple's strict sandbox rules. His version
does not.

Sluggish behavior After Updating to Mavericks
Kristeen Hughes <khwi...@gmail.com> Apr 29 02:56PM -0400
I know this has been discussed before. If there is an archive I can't find it.
I have a Macbook with 4 gig memory and I hpdated it to Mavericks last night.
Things are very sluggish and busy. They are slow to respond and mail seems the
worst. I thought 4 gig could run Mavericks on a Macbook. Is this wrong? Are
there things I can do to get it to run better?
Thanks.

Are you running all the latest updates? I found that 10.9.2 fixed those
problems for me. Also, Mail may take a while to sync everything and settle
down, so if it is the primary source of the trouble, see if it doesn't fix
itself in a couple days. To test this, quit Mail entirely and go about your
normal usage, then open Mail again and see if anything changes.

In addition, did you run repair disk and restart your machine? I'd suppose
that, if indeed you downloaded and installed Mavricks just last night, Odd's
are you are running the latest version.

This is a Macbook that they do not make anymore. It's about three to four years
old. Is there a reason to think I should go back to Mountain Lion and if so,
how do I do that?

I think Mavericks rebuilds a number of indexes such as spotlights which
can take a while. Like Alex said, all that should settle down after 'a
while'.

printer sharing
Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com> Apr 29 12:24PM -0600
Hi,
I’ve got a number of these System Pref errors while using the Printer pane of
System Prefs with VO. From what I recall, this is an issue between VO and
System Prefs, not anything you’re doing wrong. Sometimes you can work around
these things by turning off VO prior to doing some activities within the System
Prefs and clicking your mouse or trackpad the sighted user way. If you have
access to sighted assistance, you may wish to have them help with this task for
now. I imagine it will be fixed soon as it was never an issue in the past but
somehow cropped up in Mavericks, maybe even late in Mountain Lion.
Sorry, not much real help here.

Roboform for Mac
Robert C <gone.to.da...@gmail.com> Apr 29 09:07AM -0700
Is anyone using Roboform? Is it compatible with Coiceover? Its
installed, activated and the toolbar is enabled but the toolbar buttons
are dimmed. If I go to the applications folder and open it, I get a
welcome screen that has two choices I need to choose. But there are no
buttons, nothing happens. If I bring up the RB menu, some items like
prefs are also dimmed. I am in contact with RB tech support but they are
not seeming to know what they are doing.

If you're not on Mavericks, this prefs pane supposedly works:

Likewise folks said Psst works as well:

I am on Mavericks. It is not a huge feel. I just like to know an easy way to do it
if necessary that will not damage the system & work with voiceover.

Mailbox Sort Order in Mavericks
Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com> Apr 29 09:29AM -0600
hi,
One more option that’s a little more invasive but should do the trick.
1. Quit Mail.
2. Go into ~/Library/Mail/v2/Your_Mail_Account
Normally, you would go to the Finder then press cmd-shift-h then open the
Library file if it is visible. If your ~/Library folder is hidden, then, when
in the Finder, press VO-m to go up to the menubar, over to the Go menu and,
using VO-down, navigate to the Library item then press return. You’ll now be in
this usually hidden folder.
3. Open the Mail folder.
4. Open the v2 folder.
5. Locate the Mailbox folder that has the incorrectly sorted folders.
6. Press cmd-c to Copy it.
7. Go into the Terminal app.
8. Enter the following commands (exclude the dollar sign)
$cd pathname - where the pathname is entered by pressing cmd-v. That is, you’re
pasting the path you copied in #6. Press return.
$mv .mboxCache.plist .mboxCache.plist.bak - Note that there are spaces between
items, a “dot” before the filenames, and that the first “c” of “Cache” is in
caps.
What you’re doing here is renaming the first filename to the second filename.
Because this file has the “dot” in front of the filename, it is normally an
invisible file and should remain this way.
9. Quit Terminal app.
10. Open Mail and it should rebuild the .mboxCache.plist file for you and
consequently fix the problem.
You’ll need to do this for each Mail account that has this issue. Note the word
“should”. This is my favourite word in computer-land as it covers my behind in
case things don’t work as I planned.
Later…
