Hi Eric, To update applications that you purchased in the Mac App Store, including Type2Phone, you need to open the Mac App Store and select the "Updates" radio button in the toolbar. I usually do this by launching the the App Store from the dock and navigating to the "Updates" radio button by using the Command-F shortcut to go to the "Find" field in the toolbar and then left arrowing (or VO-Left arrowing, if you don't have Quick Nav turned on) to the "Updates" Radio button. Here are the directions assuming you are using Lion, and have Quick Nav turned on.
1. Navigate to the dock with either VO-D or Control-F3, and then type "a" or "a p" to navigate to the App Store. 2. Open the App Store by simultaneously pressing the up and down arrow keys. 3. Navigate to the "Updates" radio button with Command-F followed by Left arrow, then press your up and down arrow keys to show "Updates" 4. You'll be told the number of updates available, and be given the opportunity to use the "Update all" button. 5. I usually review the individual updates, which you can find listed by using your web rotor (VO-U) and then setting this (e.g., using your Up+Left arrow keys) to "Images", where each app that is in the update list will be represented by a single link image entry. You can either arrow down the menu of images or, if you're specifically looking for the "Type2Phone" update, start typing the first letters of the app's name to find it. Then either VO-Space or press the up and down arrow keys to go to that update entry. 6. Right arrow to the entry and keep arrowing through to read through the description of the updated changes before deciding whether you want to apply the update by right arrowing to the update button and pressing it. 7. You'll be prompted in a dialog window to supply your Apple ID (probably already filled in, in which case you'll be focused on the password field) and password. 8. I'd just close or quit the App Store at this point. If you check the application in Finder (e.g. Command-Shift-A to applications and then type in the first few letters of the name), you'll find that the modification date has been updated. (I use list view for the Finder entries, so this gets announced.) HTH. Of course, you can use the update all button for simplicity, but a certain cynicism causes me to check review comments on the latest updates before applying them. And I also have a tendency to not update immediately if an app is working well. Cheers, Esther On Jul 11, 2012, at 4:32 PM, Eric Caron wrote: > Scott, > > How do I find the update?
