How do I save a voice memo sent from my wife's iPhone?
Kevin Gibbs<kevj...@gmail.com> May 06 10:10AM -0700
If I save the file by the means you mentioned, will importing the memo
into iTunes reference it at this location such as on the desktop, or
will it actually move a copy of the file into my physical iTunes
library? I don't want to keep a copy of this memo on my desktop once
I've imported it into iTunes.I seem to recall that saving a file from
drop box onto my desktop had this problem when I imported that file
into iTunes. Actually, the problem was that I played the file in
iTunes and from then on it saved it to that position on the desktop.
how to save audio from youtube
"Brent Harding"<br...@hostany.net> May 06 10:00AM -0500
I used one that works at the command line that gets the flv file down, and
then converted to audio I can play, but that youtube downloader thing might
be linux only unless it could be compiled and run on a mac in terminal.

Subject: Re: how to save audio from youtube
I often use
http://youtube-mp3.com
I've long ago given up on using some onboard app to convert.
Be aware that there is a 20 minute limit on the length of the original
video.
It's great for short things.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi listers,
I have been googling about it, but it doesn't give me much useful voiceover
friendly app information. On my macbook running Lion, what do you all use to
save youtube content in mp3 on your hard drive? I could turn to windows and
use total recorder there, but I guess there will be a far easier solution,
for the mac. How does one save a youtube movie, or just its audio for that
matter, on the hard disk?
I found a lot about it, but either the ones I found appear to be mainly
inaccessible, or they are to some degree, but more like a huge video program
that can do lots of stuff, and some youtube saving as a bonus, making that
hard to find, so I gave up on that. What I'd like to find is a simple,
straight forward, and hopefully voiceover friendly solution. Does that exist
to your knowledge? Any ideas?
Paul.

Oops, I gave the wrong URL. This is correct:
http://yutube-mp3.org
Basically, you copy the URL of the item you want converted, then go to
youtube-mp3.org, paste it in the text edit field, press the provided convert
button, wait a moment, then press the download button.
All done.

uninstalling
craig J Dunlop<craigjdun...@gmail.com> May 06 11:02AM -0500
on the mac how do you remove a program? do you just delete it from the
applications list or is there a way to uninstall it?
Matt Dierckens<matt.dierck...@gmail.com> May 06 12:34PM -0400
Hi,
You got it. Just find the application you want to remove in your applications
folder, and press cmd delete.

Learning To Use Fission
Scott Rumery<blindfait...@gmail.com> May 06 11:36AM -0400
Hello, I am trying to learn how to use Fission with Voice Over and I am having
some trouble. For those of you that don't know what Fission is, I will let you
know that Fission is an audio editor for the Mac. It can be used to make iPhone
ringtones, and this is what I am trying to use it for. I know that you can make
your ringtones with iTunes and I have become very good at making my ringtones
this way, but a friend of mine told me a few days ago about Fission and that it
is very easy to use for making ringtones, so I thought that I would give it a
look.
The trouble that I seem to be having is that when I open an audio file in the
program and then try to set the beginning and end points in the file, the
beginning and end points seem to be in synch with each other. By this I mean
that when I move one, the other moves right along with it. I have been through
every setting to see if there is something that I am missing, and I can't seem
to find out what it is that I am doing wrong.
Is there anyone on the list who knows how to use this program, and if so would
they be willing to post some basic instructions for me.
Thank you very much,
Scott

Fission is not that bad I used it
Tim Kilburn<kilbur...@gmail.com> May 06 10:30AM -0600
Hi,
When I use Fission to edit audio, I do the following:
• Listen to the audio then press spacebar to stop at the start-spot where I
wish the Ringtone to begin.
• Press cmd-t to "Split" the clip at that spot.
• Press cmd-[ or cmd-] to select either the Previous or Next Clip.
• Press cmd-k to Crop the selected audio.
• Play through the audio to the end of what I wish included in the Ringtone,
press spacebar to pause and cmd-t to Split the Clip at the Playhead.
• Repeat the process to trim it to the correct length for iPhone Ringtones.
Note that sometimes it's confusing whether you should select the Next or
Previous clip for trimming but if you mess up, just press cmd-z to Undo your
oops. Fission will remember many of the last applied edits so you can undo
numerous times or simply Revert it back to original.
Once everything is the way you want it to be, go under the File menu to find
the Save As iPhone Ringtone option.
HTH.

Hi, Allison.
I haven't found a good client for the Mac. I use a windows client on my virtual
machine. It's VIPMud from GMA Games. You can get a free trial for it. It's
wonderfully accessible.
I'd love to talk muds with you. Email me off list, if you don't mind. My

Hi,
If Flash Player is already installed, there will be an item in your System Preferences
called "Flash Player". This is where you can do the update if you are
uncomfortable with the automatic and possibly problematic pop-up version.

Not necessarily the correct conclusion. The pop-up could be a malware attempt
to infect your system.
I suggest you go to Adobe's site and do the install from there.

defining single key for vo keys?
Eric Caron<eric.caro...@gmail.com> May 06 11:01AM -0400
Hi Alex, Jonathan and others,
This is a great thread but I must say that I still think it would be very very
helpful to be able to have the Voice Over key be one key. I ordered a full USB
keyboard about a year ago so that I could use the num pad commander. I like it
a lot, but frankly, I would not need it if the Voice Over key could be assigned
to the caps lock key. It is a matter of keeping my fingers on the home keys.
I'm much faster on the keyboard if I can just leave my fingers on the home row
and type away. But with Voice Over keys needing two fingers I just can't do
that. Further on the portables VO keys are only on the left side. this forces
me to do all kinds of finger contortions to do a simple command. I'm glad Voice
Over gives us lots of ways to do things. I use them all but, every 6 months or
so I write to accessibility@@apple.com and ask please please can I have the
caps lock key assignably as the VO keys? It would be great to have this be one
more VO option.
It was a thread like this one that caused me to purchase a full size keyboard,
so I could use the num pad commander. This helped a great deal. Still it is
time for me to write my next reminder to apple!
Warmly,
eRic Caron

What is a good dvd burning software on the mac side so u can play it in
your dvd player
Alison and others,
There is a way to set up iTunes so it does not automatically add
files when played. I learned how to do it from Esther quite som time ago.
It has been a long time so I'll have to search my notes to find how to do
it. I remember it was not hard to do but it was also not obvious by any
means.
So, there is a way but I'll have to get back to you unless someone
else does.
Sorry this is only half a answer but I wanted you to know there is a way.
I also usually use quick look by pressing the space bar. However,
sometimes I want the iTunes controls and it is nice to open a file in
iTunes and not have to find and delete it later.

Hi everyone!
I recently got a beautiful new Macboook pro, and find myself using it
more than my pc because it's so portable. I'm wondering if there's a way to
tell iTunes not to add every file I play to my iTunes library. Sometimes I
just want to select a file in the finder, play it once, and exit without it
being added. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Krister Ekstrom<kris...@kristersplace.com> May 06 11:42AM +0200
Hi,
In defence of Jenny, let me say this, in many, not all but many cases at least
on the IPhone, there simply is no built in help or documentation for the
program one is working with, at least that's my experience. I have seen a lot
of cases, though i can't think of any at the moment where there's no reference
to any documentation whatsoever in the app.
At the risk of being flamed to bits, let me say that i have come late to this thread so
may not know the whole story here, but answering a plee for help in an almost rude manner
in my book is uncalled for. I left the Linux world because of that attitude, and even
though it didn't hit me directly i felt sorry for the newbies that asked questions and
got almost rude answers that in short said "rtfm". Yes surely Google among
other sources is your friend, but if you don't even begin to know what you are going to
search for, how can you then begin searching? We have all been newbies in the beginning
and have had different difficulty levels and different ways of tackling a problem. One
bit of advice that i have followed and that has proven useful to me during my
explorations of the graphical interface is this: If you want to learn to know your app,
firstly take a look at its menus. There you will see what the app can do for you and you
also in the bargain get the hot keys for different
