Re: Eclipse with Cocoa
Good morning,
Interesting, I haven't tried much of this myself. Have these bugs
been filed with Eclipse? I imagine that they would get resolved if
filed.
Thanks,
Everett

Re: Eclipse with Cocoa
Good morning,
The following URL lists current Eclipse Cocoa bugs. I believe that if
you sign up for a Eclipse bugzilla account you can file a bug in a
similar fashion.

disk utilitty
Hey all, i'm getting very frustrated at disk utilitty and am wondering if anyone could help. I have an iso of content and a usb drive that I want to restore that content to. I open disk utilitty and click restore but it wants me to drag the disks into the edit boxes. I pasted the source in but for some reason its not letting me paste the destination. Very annoyed right now, so if anyone could help me out that'd be great. Cheers. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Anyone see System Profile or Skype 2.8 beta crashes?
Two questions, maybe and maybe not related? 1. Anyone seen System Profiler crash either on Save or Save As, or when you focus the Displays row of the Contents table? I have a Mac Mini with no display attached, and I have no display to attach and have never hooked one up at all. I wonder if System Profiler has trouble with that concept. 2. If anyone has tried the public beta of Skype 2.8 for the Mac, please let me know if it crashes when you try to make or receive a call. I am usually unable to do calls with 2.8 on my Mini, and I'm trying to figure out why. 2.7 works fine.

Re: Anyone see System Profile or Skype 2.8 beta crashes?
Hi Doug, 2.8 has the same behaviour here too on a Macbook Pro, and as you say, 2.7 seems not too, so that's what I've gone back too. I have no idea what causes it, but thought it might be helpful to know that it's not specific to your system. Scott On 4/21/09, Doug Lee wrote: > > Two questions, maybe and maybe not related? > > 1.

Re: Anyone see System Profile or Skype 2.8 beta crashes?
Hi Doug, I'm using 2.8 on my iMac ok here. And as far as the system profiler thing, maybe you at least need to hook up some sort of desplay adapter so that the mini thinks there's a desplay there?

Re: Anyone see System Profile or Skype 2.8 beta crashes?
HI, Doug, As far as skype goes, the only time it acts sluggish is when I am in a chat. Other than that, I don't have issues with it. Usually, it stops acting slugghis after a while, and if it does not, then, you need to relaunch skype. Hth, Chantel.

Re: Eclipse with Cocoa
Hi,
A lot of the bugs you describe do not exist with the Eclipse 3.5 cocoa build
and the VoiceOver in snow leopard.
I've been extensively testing this setup, as I use Eclipse in my daily job
and would very much like to do away with my windows virtual machine.
If I were you I'd wait for the official Eclipse 3.5 release (scheduled for
June/July this year if all goes according to plan), and the release of Snow
Leopard (can't give you an estimation on that one).
Any bugs that exist after that would definitely be worth raising both with
Apple and Eclipse.
I have found Apple to be very responsive in resolving any VoiceOver issues I
have raised in Snow Leopard which is very encouraging to note, it just
proves their dedication to accessibility.

Re: disk utilitty
Hi, This is a little tricky, but if you are running Leopard, VoiceOver does have support for performing a drag and drop operation via the keyboard (not implemented in Tiger). Check out the tutorial at http://www.lioncourt.com/guides-tutorials/drag-and-drop-with-voiceover/ Following the drag and drop instructions in this tutorial I was able to drag a DMG image from my hard disk and restore it on a USB drive with no problem.

getting rid of Mobileme trial
Hi there. I ended up signing up for the 60-day trial of Mobileme, and I'm finding their site isn't really too accessible. I want to get rid of the service. When I get to the cancel page, it can barely be done with Firefox and JFW, the link that actually would cancel won't activate. How can I get this thing canceled? I tried calling 18007672775 and saying Mobileme for what I needed support for, but that thing just says to go online for some kind of chat that I really doubt is accessible. Is there an easy way to get rid of it besides canceling the debit card? Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi, Brent, Back in the days it was .Mac *Cough* your trial expired and you just kept the .Mac account for IChat and Apple's Website. I think things have changed but I am unsure.

Re: DaisyPod
If daisypod was daisybox, written for rockbox, it would work on several mp3 players. Maybe that's what's wanted?

Re: oldschool mac nostalgia
Anybody remember BEX, braille edit express? I had an apple II e, an otsuki braille printer, it did braille and print at the same time, and even an echo II plus. Who could forget the image writer? My friends used to make those huge banners in print shop. The echo had polyphonic music capabilities. I remember my first hack, I made my computer speak those "MEC" games! oregon trail etal. I always enjoyed those news letters on tape from raised dot computing, I got mine on tape read by Jessy somebody. Oh those were the days! Anybody remember any of this stuff?

Re: oldschool mac nostalgia
Jessie Casum. I had such a crush on Jessie Casun or whatever he name was. I talked to her once when I was asking a question about Bex. I used Bex all the way through college to do my papers. Either Bex or Prowords, but more often Bex. I had a spell checker for it, even, but it never worked right. It came on double-sided disks and if you had good timing, you could pull out the disk at one point and flip it over and shortcut some of the menus to get to the Bex main menu.

Re: introduction
Thanks for that. I wasn't particularly clean on that voice a few years ago, however I have to say I was glad I was able to have access something to do my work for music. I will say, I wasn't prepared to get a mac then because I preferred jaws. Jaws is still good, and it has got better, but I really like the voice now and am looking forward to using mac again. take care Andrea, Zeta Vale and Trudy! xxx Vale touched the hearts of everyone she met.

Re: introduction
Hi there Mark, wow thanks for that. I'm not sure whether to have a windows program running on the mac or not and if so what? I have 2 gig of ram on it and a 160 hard drive. I don't know therefore, if running vista would work that well. I really can't wait to get it. I did hear alex on the voice over speech today and it's quite clear. Easier than jaws to listen too and clearer in some ways, more human-like maybe the better way to describe it. I'll not be getting rid of my vista machine, but I can't wait to get this mac. I just can't wait to use it. I know the sound quality on it is brilliant. take care and I will definitely give you a shout when I get it. I think, I'm going to need a great deal of help. take care Andrea, Zeta Vale and Trudy! xxx Vale touched the hearts of everyone she met. She will live on forever! Check out her fundraising page!
