Re: keyboard shortcuts for Skype
Hello, Just to add to this, Anne Robertson once gave a very good description of setting up new keyboard shortcuts which should still b available in the archives of the discussion group. I can't off-hand remember the url for the discussion archive - sorry not to be very helpful. The important point to remember is when you type in the name of the menu item to which your shortcut is to point, you must enter it exactly as it appears in the menu. Also, remember to choose a shortcut combination that's not likely to clash with another existing one. With best wishes, Anna, Simon On 25 Jul 2009, at 00:05, Jonathan C.

Re: really dumb questions about RSS readers, but...
Cell phones can sometimes subscribe to rss feeds. The apple hot news feed was offered to me by my Nokia N75 phone when I visited the apple web site a while ago, but not all feeds are compatible with cell phones. It's an old version of netscape the phone has on it for its new browser that gets these feeds. On Thu, 2 Oct 2008, Fonzie wrote: > Hi Olivia!

apple garageband?
Hi everyone, I could not find too many recent reviews of this program but I udnerstand its part of the ilife suit which I think is included with os x. I have always enjoyed listening to music andin the past I played piano and saxophone. Garage band seems like a nice tool tolearn music on the computer sicne it includes both instruments to use with an external midi keyboard an loops you can use. Does anyone know if it is accessible?

Re: running leopard on a pc?
In order for this to work, you would have to obtain a modified osx image that is floating around the internet. There are reports of people running these in vm's but the biggist problem that your going to run into is hardware incompatabilities. If I were in your situation, I would look up if your hardware has ever run leopard before (Google osx86), download a leopard disk image and then set up a dule boot. I know its a bit more hassle in the end, but it goes with out saying that leopard will have more resources available to it if you do go this rout as apposed to running it in a vm.

15 inch vs 17inch
Hello, Am I right in thinking thatthe only difference between the 15 inch and 17 inch laptops is the screen? I mean you can get the top config on the 15 inch right? Also, i know all the laptops have the glossy display but can you also get the matte display or can you only do this for the 17 inch?

Re: Microsoft stores to mimic Apple's with "Guru Bars"
Well this my friend is one area where Apple could expend a little effort. I don't expect them to be experts, but they certainly should have more than just a passing awareness of it. I realize that (and I'll take some heat for this comment) a smaller segment of the market than what most stores see as customers rolling through the doors, but I believe that at the least they should have a cheat sheet that could be pulled to answer some basic questions. I think this is one of those areas that could be easily addressed and it is of course possible something is in the works, but think I'll ask. I think also if enough people put a bug in Apples ear, they are going to be a bit more apt to do something. I will say that it seems more of their support personnel at least have heard of VOiceOver and I suspect a lot of this is to do with the iPod and iPhones, so there is hope.

Re: 15 inch vs 17inch
To the best of my knowledge yes, you can get pretty much the same stuff on the 15-inch as the 17-inch. Of course check either on the site or call Apple's sales department to verify, but I'm pretty sure. I think the difference is some items are standard on the 17 that may not be on the 15 as stock, but available as upgrades on the 15.

Re: aim acount on mail
OK, I confuse myself often lol. I can send from the aim account in the mail app. But when I've attempted to send an email from another account to test that the account is working, it doesn't show up in mail. I checked on the web based area for aim and all the tests I did are there. They are just not landing in mail. Hope that was a little clearer. So I think there's a connection issue from the server to the mail app. On Jul 25, 2009, at 3:41 PM, patrickneazer wrote: > Hello Marie and all: > > I do not believe I follow you.

Re: aim acount on mail
Hello Marie and all: This sounds like the evil smtp server problem (grin). Of course the questions you have heard all before most likely 1. is your smtp information correct ... the address ... proper port numbers ... etc according to aim 2. Using the mail menus ... in particular ... the bring all accounts online option in the mailbox menu ... have you checked to make sure the accounts are online? 3. this next point might have absolutely nothing to do with this though it might shed a little light on something. when you compose an email ... before sending it use VO + left arrow to move to the left of the body of the message. You should hear ... from followed by an email address pop up button. use VO + spacebar to click on that button and see if you have other email addresses in that list. If you have an aim address in that list ... select it and then move to the right using VO + right arrow. you should hear it say ... outgoing server. If it is not the server you think should be used for the aim account use VO + spacebar to activate the pop up button and see if you can find the appropriate server. If you find it ... select it and then attempt to send the email. The reason I make that last suggestion because it will shed some light as to whether or not mail is seeing things properly. I hope I have not confused the situation more than is necessary.

Re: Optimizing terminal accessibility
Hi, As a software developer myself, I find it more VO friendly to use an IDE such as Eclipse 3.5 for Java / Python dev. It's much quicker to jump around files, you have content assist for completing method names, it is constantly building your project in the background and the Problems view will very quickly report any compile problems in your code, it has nice integration for revision control like subversion or git, it also has plugins for ruby / C++ so it should cover all the languages you require. Eclipse 3.4 under Leopard definitely had some issues but the new Eclipse 3.5 which uses cocoa for UI controls works much more nicely. The performance is a little sub optimal at this stage with Java 5, but Java 6 in Snow Leopard appears to resolve most of that. I hope this helps.

Re: Microsoft stores to mimic Apple's with "Guru Bars"
Microsoft, again, demonstrating their "me too" philosophy. The problem is they are not in the same position of having the hardware and software working together.

Re: apple garageband?
Hi, It is farely accessible, except for the pan controls which are the major hurdle. I'm not sure why the volume should work but not the pan. Any way... You might want to look deeper. My impression was that ILife only shipped with macbook pro, not as a part of standard computer lines. So the macbook, Imac, and mini wouldn't ship with ILife, but the macbook pro and mac pro would. Some one will correct me if I'm wrong, but better check into it just in case. Best, erik burggraaf A+ sertified technician and user support consultant.

Re: Apple's much-anticipated tablet device coming early next year
From all that I read, it will not be a phone. It has been more described as a larger iPod Touch. However, Apple, as they always are, are saying nothing. Additionally, every sort of speculation under the sun has been written about it. In the end, as with all things Apple, we will know when it is released. Knowing Apple, though, it's going to be something "revolutionary" as they do not waste resources and such on the status quo. Take Care John D.

Re: aim acount on mail
There are completely different protocols for sending versus receiving e-mail. I am not familiar with AIM mail but you need to determine if it uses the POP or IMAP or some other protocol to download messages. Sending is almost always done with SMTP> For gmail you first have to enable iMap before you can use it so perhaps that is the issue for you.

Re: Apple's much-anticipated tablet device coming early next year
Dear John, I will be following this development with great interest. I've not so far invested in an IPhone although I've been very very tempted. I do however like the idea of the technology, and I do hope that Voiceover will be a part of the new tablet device. As for the IPhone, I think it is only a matter of time before I give in and get one. there's a rumour that the next IPhone is going to be dual core. So I'm waiting to see, and if this is to be true, I shall probably go for that. Hope you are well. I see you regularly on the list and I continue to benefit from your posts.

Re: Apple's much-anticipated tablet device coming early next year
Obviously, whether VoiceOver is or is not included on this device is as unknown as the actual device itself. Even so, based on how the progressions of developments have gone, I'd be willing to bet that if this Tablet becomes a reality, Apple will include VO on it. Again, though, we are venturing far into the realm of guessing and speculation. It will be a fascinating end of the year and 2010. Take Care John D.

Re: Apple's much-anticipated tablet device coming early next year
John, your correct and as I thought about it, when I first heard about this, it comes to mind that the aim was more for video conferencing and it may not have a phone in it at all. That I'm not sure of, but if VZW roles out this new service, it does mean this would pave the way for the iPhone as well as the tablet and the tablet was the one thing VZW seemed interested in from what I read a while ago.

Improving re-arranging items in table views on OS X
Hi All, I haven't posted for a while so for those who don't remember me, my name is Martin and I'm a Mac software developer. I'm currently having a problem with making one of my applications accessible, but in an easy to use way. There is a lot of drag & drop functionality in my application. Some of it is easy, such as using copy and paste to get items from the library to the collections (like with putting songs into playlists in iTunes). However, some of it is hard, such as re- arranging items. You can do copy/cut and paste but this is a bit awkward. I've also been pointed to how to do drag & drop with voice over but to me that seems quite tedious. I believe I have a solution that seems to me like it would be a lot simpler, but I wanted to get the opinion of some blind users about whether they would find it more useful. The solution is that if you hold down the option key and press the up or down arrow keys, it will move the selected table rows up or down one place. To me it seems to be a better way to re-arrange items with a keyboard for all users, but the main aim of it is to improve accessibility. I will end up open sourcing any solution and pushing for other developers to include it in their applications so hopefully it can become some sort of a standard. Any thoughts anyone has would be much appreciated. Thanks Martin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: iphone cal ending
Hello Simon and all: There are a few ways to end a call. 1. Double tap the screen with two fingers similar to the way you would double tap the phone when starting or stopping a song in itunes. remember when double tapping the phone to keep your fingers apart a little or else the phone might think you have one really large finger. No, I am not kidding about that last point 2. When the call is over you can press the lock screen button on the top of the phone. This does lock the screen and you will have to unlock it again to use the features of the phone. Hopefully this information is of some use to you. Let us know.

RE: Typing on the IPhone and using its GPS
Dam, I wish had seen this msg yesterday when I was hunting for the call end button. I've gotta find a good iphone accessibility tutorial.

I often ended up double tapping a nearby key or tapping once on one key and the second on another key. The 'split tap' seemed to work much better. Another thing that has worked well is the flick left and right through elements on the screen. For example, in Safari to the right of the URL entry is a very small clear button. It was hard to impossible to tap it to clear out the URL and type in a new one. With focus in the URL field a single flick right brought focus to the clear button and then a double-tap would clear out the entry field. Much easier that way. Oh, one other gesture I didn't know about initially. Doing a two-finger double tap when the phone rings will answer it while a two-finger double tap during a call will hang up. Much easier that trying to hunt for the answer and end call buttons.

That said, Jaws video intercept driver on Parallels is still not fixed. Apparently Parallels uses its own custom video driver that doesn't play well with the Jaws video intercept. If you don't install that Jaws will launch and work but there are lots of things it won't do well. I didn't experiment too much since running without the video intercept is not the normal setup but I know Outlook was pretty much inaccessible. Just to make sure I installed Jaws 10.0.1154 on Parallels 4.0.3844 which are both the latest with no improvement. After the Jaws install reboot Windows crashes while loading and the only fix is to boot into "Last Known Good Configuration" and then re-install parallels tools. It must be a fundamental flaw in the parallels video emulator because this bug has existed for some time. As was previously mentioned, most Jaws users have moved to Fusion or VirtualBox because of this bug. CB Esther wrote: > Hello Anna, > > Welcome to the list.

Advice needed on creating a utility installer
I have a utility, written in Python, that I think a number of blind Mac Skype users might want to use. The problem is, it's currently rather complex to install: It requires the Skype4Py module, which can be had from the Skype Developer Zone web site. It's command-line based and so tends to require you to start the Terminal to use it. It is also something I think people will want to have started automatically, either at boot time or when Skype is launched. The utility has several features, but perhaps most interesting to most people here are its ability to make the Mac produce sounds indicating online statuses of contacts as you arrow through the contact list, and its provision of some shortcut commands for common tasks, like "pvm" to read the oldest remaining unplayed voicemail. Because of the installation complexity problem, the utility is not really ready for public consumption at this point. However, I welcome advice on how to create an easy-to-use installation system for this thing. I'm not sure if it should be a .dmg, a .pkg, or what. I do want the user to have easy ways to do at least the following though: Install the utility, update the utility, install and update Skype4Py, launch the utility, arrange for auto launch of the utility, and remove the utility and possibly Skype4Py. I'm wondering if a .dmg containing both the utility and Skype4Py would work, but I don't know how one makes a .dmg that just installs normally, or one whose application can be auto-launched.
