Re: VM Fusion and the Doc
Mike, yes, the VM has to be running if you want to access specific apps running in the VM. What you would do to add that app to the Dock is: 1. Start VmWare. 2. Start the guest os, I gather windows in your case. 3. Put Fusion in Unity mode (the shortcut key is control+command+u or find it under the View menu). 4. Start whatever app you want in windows or guest os. 5. Go to the Dock. 6. Locate the application, which will indicate it is running. 7. Add the app as you would any Mac application. You can then reverse the process for taking the guest os ut of Unity mode. Now when you go to the Dock and launch the app, it will load VmWare for you and then the application. hth On Mar 20, 2009, at 5:56 PM, Mike wrote: > > Hi all: > > I just installed an evaluation of Vm Fusion and windows XP Home. > How can I access win apps on my doc with out actually running the > vurtual machine or do you have to run the vurtual machine in ord to > take advantage of installed win apps? > > Thanks: > > Mike > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

I get the impression it isn't all taht great and for the price, you might as well get a Victor Reader or this new product Gw Micro will be coming out with. You would probably get more more benefits.

Esther: Can you give a few more details about your setup? For
example, what options do you have checked on the Summary tab of your
Nano 4G (are you manually managing your music and videos or have you
checked the box to sync only checked songs and videos)? Is this the
first time you're setting up your iPod Nano 4G? Did you recently
upgrade your iTunes version to 8.1? (When you say the problem exists
in iTunes 8.0, had you first tried to use the Nano 4G with iTunes
8.0.2?)

It shouldn't matter if you are using the German Infovox iVox voice.
The Nano 4G's spoken menus use the voice and speech rate selected for
Text to Speech under the Speech menu of System Preferences, on the
popup menu button for the system voice on the Text to Speech tab.
I've tried the French voice with my Nano. I haven't upgraded iTunes to
8.1 yet, so my suggestions are based on running the previous version
8.0.2 with a Nano 4g.
The capacity bar scroll area and the sync button are separate from the
different tabs in the iPod settings scroll area. and are always
displayed, regardless of selected settings tab (Summary, Music,
Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, etc.) If I select the music tab (VO-Right
from the Summary tab and press with VO-Space to select) and VO-right
arrow in the pane (or VO-down arrow from the Music tab) I'll hear:
Sync music (unchecked or checked) checkbox
Sync all songs and playlists radio button
Sync selected playlists radio button
Playlists table
Include music videos checkbox
Display album artwork on your iPod checkbox
Some of these items may be dimmed, if you've chosen to manually manage
your music and videos, but you'll still hear them announced. If you
have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary page,
have you checked the "Sync music" checkbox and selected the "Sync
selected playlists" radio button? The playlists table is a scrolling
table. When I interact with the playlists table I hear Audiobooks,
Purchased playlist, folders (playlist folders were created), smart
playlists, and regular playlists. To check and select playlists you
may need to start scrolling with VO-Shift-S to access and check
entries that extend beyond the visible area of the table after every 7
or 8 lines and press escape to leave scrolling mode.
What happens when you try connecting the nano to another iTunes
library on your computer? I keep a test account that I use to check
when problems are account specific -- perhaps due to a corrupted set
of preferences settings associated with an application on my user
account -- or genuine bugs in the operating system. Have you
previously used an iPod with iTunes? If so, were you able to view
table contents on the music and other tabs in the iPod settings scroll
area using VoiceOver?
The table entries should be viewable. If they're not, another way you
can try putting content on your iPod is by putting it into manually
managed mode by checking that option on the Summary page, selecting
some tracks from your library, copying them from the songs table, and
then navigating to the iPod in the sources table and doing a paste
with Command-V. It's easy to use playlists you've created and just
"select all" and copy from the songs table with Command-A and Command-
C. Or, after selecting your Music Library in the source table you can
toggle on the Browser (Command-B) and find tracks by selecting entries
from the genre, artists, or albums columns, then navigating to the
songs table and selecting all and copying (without creating first
creating a playlist) for entries to paste to your iPod. Then try
checking what happens when you navigate to the iPod device in the
sources table, expand it with VO-backslash and arrow down through the
libraries under the device. The entries appear to be like the ones
for your main iTunes library, but the contents are specific to the
categories under your iPod -- so "Music" holds music entries on your
iPod and similarly for "Movies", "Podcasts", "Audiobooks", and
"Playlists". They work the same way as for your main iTunes source
table entries -- y
Re: Restoring with Time Machine
Hi Cara, Just as a follow up and to help others, I stand corrected. In speaking to my sighted friend who assisted me with my install and restoration from a time machine backup, according to him, when you select the restore from a time machine backup option during the setup process, you Only have the latest backup as an option or the most recent one that can be found. If you want to install from a specific backup, you have to do this manually through disk utilities. However, when we tried this using the install DVD for Leopard, we could not get this particular option to work.

Hello, While I had some problems with restoring Time-Machine backups in earlier 10.5 releases, I have never had problems with this in OS X 10.5.6. I start the install DVD. Start VO. Go to the first of the install screens. Go to the menu bar and to the utilities menu and pick restore. then, I just follow the prompts. When I get to selecting the backup I want, they are always available. All the way from my original backup to the latest backup. I just arrow to the one I want and hit the next option. Again, it works just fine. I have done this on several machines.

Re: Restoring with Time Machine
Hi, Just one other thing. I hope I'm not confusing the situation for others. In previous discussions, several people mentioned doing the restore this way. If you reinstall the OS and restart to the setup screen, then, you only have one time machine restore option and that's the most recent backup. I don't remember having choices for different backup dates. And I think that's where the problem is. However, if you do the restore directly from the Install DVD, you will have the different backup files to choose from.

Re: Restoring with Time Machine
I haven't tried it but I would think that once your system is restored you should be able to pull up Time Machine and revert back to a previous point in time. In other words, unless the current backup is of a totally broken system, you can restore that to get back up and running and then use Time machine to revert things, or am I missing something.

Re: Restoring with Time Machine
Hello, If you mean running Time Machine from the desktop and selecting a particular backup option and then use the Restore button, I've not been able to do that with VO. There was a discussion about this a few weeks back. The problem is that we are not able to use the graphical representation on the right of the screen to select the restore option. However, we can go to the particular backup file and then copy it back to where we want it. This is why I use the restore from the install DVD.

Re: Broken settings area for Nano 4G in German iTunes
Hi Esther,
thank you for your extensive answer. So here is some more information about my
setup:
I got the iPod in November last year and let my wife set the language to
German. I created some playlists with music which should be synchronized to the
iPod. For this I wanted to set the mode to sync only playlists which are
checked in the settings area (I knew this option from the manual). The tabs
look like I have described: with VO only the general settings were spooken
correctly, the other tabs all have the check boxes for syncing programs. The
iTunes version was 8.0.1. My wife said that the settings were shown correctly
so she made the changes for me with the mouse. I hoped that following updates
of iTunes or Mac OS X will solve this problem but nothing has changed until
today (I also have had installed iTunes 8.0.2 and currently 8.1). The spoken
menus of the iPod and the other iTunes features work normally. There is no
problem to sync the iPod (all songs are transfered and the corresponding menu
entries are generated), it's only the accessibility of the settings area.
I have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary page but the
checkboxes/radioboxes for "Sync music" and "Sync selected playlists" could not
be seen by VO (only the "sync programs"/"sync all programs" checkboxes with
German translation). The other GUI elements you told don't exist for me but
they are visible for a seeing person. I also have an old iPod shuffle for which
the settings are all accessible with VO.
Tomorrow I will try to check the error with a new test user and repairing the
permissions and post my progress...
Thanks so far,
Pierre

Subject: Re: Broken settings area for Nano 4G in German iTunes
Hi Pierre,
You wrote:
Hi folks,
I have a strange behaviour of VO in my German localised iTunes. In the
settings area for the iPod Nano 4G only the general tab works correctly. On the
other tabs (music, videos,...) VO always recognizes two check boxes ("sync
programs" aand "sync all programs") and an empty table.
Esther: Can you give a few more details about your setup? For example, what
options do you have checked on the Summary tab of your Nano 4G (are you
manually managing your music and videos or have you checked the box to sync
only checked songs and videos)? Is this the first time you're setting up your
iPod Nano 4G? Did you recently upgrade your iTunes version to 8.1? (When you
say the problem exists in iTunes 8.0, had you first tried to use the Nano 4G
with iTunes 8.0.2?)
Pierre: The statistic for kapacity and the sync button are always spoken
correctly and all other stuff in iTunes works fine with VO. This problem exists
in iTunes 8.0 and 8.1, beside this I have the German Infovox 1.3 installed on
my Leopard (changing the voice has no effect on this issue). From your list and
Google it seems that this doesn't happen with a English system. Is there anyone
how has a sollution for this?
Greetings from Stuttgart
It shouldn't matter if you are using the German Infovox iVox voice. The Nano
4G's spoken menus use the voice and speech rate selected for Text to Speech
under the Speech menu of System Preferences, on the popup menu button for the
system voice on the Text to Speech tab. I've tried the French voice with my
Nano. I haven't upgraded iTunes to 8.1 yet, so my suggestions are based on
running the previous version 8.0.2 with a Nano 4g.
The capacity bar scroll area and the sync button are separate from the
different tabs in the iPod settings scroll area. and are always displayed,
regardless of selected settings tab (Summary, Music, Movies, TV Shows,
Podcasts, etc.) If I select the music tab (VO-Right from the Summary tab and
press with VO-Space to select) and VO-right arrow in the pane (or VO-down arrow
from the Music tab) I'll hear:
Sync music (unchecked or checked) checkbox
Sync all songs and playlists radio button
Sync selected playlists radio button
Playlists table
Include music videos checkbox
Display album artwork on your iPod checkbox
Some of these items may be dimmed, if you've chosen to manually manage your
music and videos, but you'll still hear them announced. If you have checked
"Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary page, have you checked the
"Sync music" checkbox and selected the "Sync selected playlists" radio button?
The playlists table is a scrolling table. When I interact with the playlists
table I hear Audiobooks, Purchased playlist, folders (playlist folders were
created), smart playlists, and regular playlists. To check and select playlists
you may need to start scrolling with VO-Shift-S to access and check entries
that extend beyond the visible area of the table after every 7 or 8 lines and
press escape to leave scrolling mode.

Ichat freezing and Alex sleepy?
Man I couldn't get logged in here for a bit. Strange. Anyway, I'm successfully chatting in ichat now, using AIM and I've got a strange problem that occures. I'm going to try and explain and see if anyone knows what might be happening. I'm in a chat window and I type a message and hit enter. To get back to where I can read the messages, I VO left arrow and it says html content. I hit VO Shift down arrow to interact with html content. This usually works just fine. But sometimes it goes silent and then says, "welcome to macintosh, voiceover is running, finder, window, icon view" which is what it always says when I turn on the computer. I just VO down arrow again and it takes me back and I can read the messages. Sometimes though, when I'm going too fast, when it goes silent if I hit ay more keys, it'll freeze up ichat and any keys I hit just gets me a busy, busy, busy. I have to shut down and restart. I'll often be chatting in yahoo im too and it does not happen ever with yahoo and I do the same thing to navigate between where I read and where I type. Any thoughts? Also, and this is probably just my crazy imagination. I've been putting the macbook to sleep for a few days when I learned how haha. Just now, when I opened it, my addressbook had been up and it then read my ichat description, and I swear, Alex sounded sleepy. It sounded as though his speech had been slowed down but I haven't changed that. Then he sounded normal. Am I crazy? Did they actually make him sound sleepy when he wakes up? I thought I was nuts when I heard him breathe until I read that they did that on purpose to make him sound more human. Anyway, good to be back. I've learned a ton already from ya'll. Thanks, Randi Oh PS, when ichat freezes, I only rstart ichat, not the macbook. And, does anyone know how to retrieve the password? I tried doing the system update but it asked for a password and I don't remember setting up a password. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Poll Results
I hope its ok that I'm posting a reply here since everyone wants us to shut up, but I'm new to this list and couldn't get in for a bit and had no idea there was another list starting so is ok if I ask some questions? If you don't want to read this, move on to another thread. Sorry. I'm just not sure I even want to stay on this list, being a newbie and not knowing the rules, and finding it helpful to read other's posts. Anyway, simple question, if I'm automatically subscribed to this new list, where can I find it? I, too, do not like cluttered inboxes so I subscribe and read only online to avoid inbox clutter. Therefore, I do not know where the new list is. On this new list, since I missed all discussion and voting, will we be free to post at will? If so I think I'll join that one and leave this one? Sorry if I sound snarky, I just find people's posts helpful, yeah, one liners are annoying but sometimes I find a helpful tip on the fourth post down dot dot dot.

iPod Problem Resolved
Last week I wrote about not being able to transfer songs from the iMac to my 1GB iPod Shuffle. Today I managed to transfer files by doing the following: Go to the songs table of what I want to copy. Interact with the table, and make sure I am on the song I want to copy. If there's more than one song, hold the shift and down-arrow and select as much as I want. Hit command-c. Go to the Sources table, arrow down till I hear iPod under devices, and hit command-v right there. All songs copied successfully.

Re: trying to get the mail program to work with yahoo
I understand you're a Yahoo member, do you receive your email as part of an AT&T subscription for DSL? If so, your pop server is different. Until I know what you're using as a service provider, or if you're a paid Yahoo premium member, I can only suggest you lookup the proper servers. As an example, people who get their email with an @sbcglobal.net use pop.att.yahoo.com as their pop server.

Re: iPod Problem Resolved
Yes Jain. That works. The other good thing you could do is make a playlist. For example I have a eyepod and I have created a playlist in eyetoon's called my eyepod playlist. Then what I do is go to the sorces table go up to my eyetoons libarey and then go over and interact with my songs table. when I go down to the song I want I copy it and then go back to the sorces table and down to my eyepod playlist. Then past it. Keep doing this with other songs you want till you have them. Then in my eyepod setting's I have it to sink only selected playlists and I only have my eyetoon's created eyepod playlist. Then I just sink my eyepod. I hope this also helps. A nuther way in sinking my eyepod and mabey it will work better then the way you are doing. I just thought I would tell you about it in case you wanted a easer way of doing this. thank's and smiley.

Re: trying to get the mail program to work with yahoo
If you live in the U.S., then you cannot use POP to retrieve your Yahoo! Email. I think it works differently in different regions of the world.

i hope yahoo can fix that. kind of unfair since the rest of the world has free pop3 access.

Re: Broken settings area for Nano 4G in German iTunes
Hi Pierre, I'm replying to you directly as well as to the list in case you are reading the list in digest format once a day. Based on your reply, I did an experiment of forcing iTunes to open on my account with a German localization and attaching my iPod Nano 4G. You're correct that it is VoiceOver's interaction with the German localization that is responsible for your problems. When I navigate to the tabs for Music, Podcasts, and Contacts and select any of these, and then try to read the information on these tabs with VoiceOver, the focus is not going to the correct entries and information. (I don't actually have "Contacts" sync enabled for my Nano, but I can read the contents of the tab with VoiceOver under U.S. English localization.) This suggests that repairing permissions or checking in a test user account will not lead to a solution for your problem. (Occasionally repairing permissions, particularly before a major operating system software update, is still a good thing to do, especially if you use any third-party software. Be warned that this takes a while -- about 10 minutes on my MacBook under Leopard, and possibly longer if you have a large and full disk to check or if this is the first time you've ever run this. It can also be useful to create a test user account.) What I'd suggest is that you open iTunes with an English localization for the occasions when you want to connect your iPod Nano 4G and read the music or podcasts tables and other tab information for the sync settings. There are two ways that you can make the an application open in a different language localization from the default selection for your user account. A simple way to do this is to do a "Get Info" with Command-I for an application and examine/set the entries under the languages disclosure triangle to a specific language. If your account has administrative privileges (the default for accounts created when you first boot up a Mac, I think, then you'll be able to modify this through the GUI. With iTunes closed, locate the app in Finder: 1. From Finder use the Command-Shift-A keyboard shortcut to navigate to the Applications Directory. 2. Quickly type "i t" to navigate to the iTunes app 3. Use Command-I to launch a "Get Info" window. 4. In the iTunes info window use item chooser menu (Command-I) and quickly type "l a n" to find the "Languages disclosure triangle". (This item might have a different name in German; modify what you type to locate the appropriate entry, or instead of using the item chooser menu press tab until you read the languages disclosure triangle.) Use VO-space to open this. VO-down arrow into the table and read the selections, which will list the supported language localizations in alphabetical order. Initially your list will include all language localizations supported for your operating system, with the box beside each entry checked. iTunes can open on your system under any of the checked language localizations. You can uncheck any of these entries, unless your account has restricted file-access privileges. In this case, when you read the table entries you'll also hear the word "dimmed", and you won't be able to modify this list. iTunes will only be able to open in one of the checked language localizations, even if your default localization is set to one of the other languages. If I uncheck all boxes except for German in the table of language localizations, when I open iTunes it will have to open in German. If you uncheck all language entries in the table under the Languages disclosure triangle except for English, iTunes has to open in English. Table entries will be announced in English, as will the Nano 4G's tabs in the iPod settings scroll area. After unchecking all languages except English in the Languages table of the Get Info window for iTunes, close this window with Command-W. Now check whether the iPod Nano tables under the Music and Podcast tabs are visible when you connect your 4G Nano. The other way to force an application to opne in one of the checked language localizations is to type a command from "Terminal". To use this command-line interface, first make sure that you've quit the iTunes app, and navigate in Finder to the Utilities menu (Command- Shift-U), then quickly type "t e r" to go to "Terminal". Open the application with Command-down arrow or Command-O. In your terminal window, type (or paste) the following command to launch iTunes: /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes -AppleLanguages '(en)' & The first part is the full path to the iTunes application within its bundle. The "AppleLanguages" preceded by a hyphen is the keyword to specify the language localization. The "(en)" enclosed with single quote marks is the specification for English. The final ampersand spawns this as a background process, and allows you to type othe

Re: HOW MUCH HARD DRIVE SPACE HAVE I GOT LEFT?
Hello Simon, To find out how much hard disk space you have left, select your drive in Finder and do a "Get Info" with Command-I. Use item chooser menu to look for "Capacity", then VO-Right Arrow. You'll read the entries for Capacity in GB and then the available space. There are other ways to find this from terminal or from disk utility or using the system profiler, and maybe someone else has a quicker solution.
