Re: full format?
Hi. Yeah. You can fully format your drive with your Leopard disc. You have to do the following: 1: Insert the disc and hold down the c key to boot up from the disc. 2: When the disc stops spinning, start Voiceover 3: Select your language 4: Go to the menu bar, choose Utility and choose Disc Utility 5: Select the Erase tab 6: Choose the drive from the table you wanna format, and make sure you choose the right drive. :) 7: Click on the Erase button...

Re: Manually putting music on IPhone using Windows
you can specify a single playlist to be synced with your iphone/ipod. You choose the "phone" and navigate to the music tab then select sync music. then choose the selected playlists button then you can select any number of playlists to be synced to your ipod. Alternatively if you really want to manage it manually you should be able to examine your music collection and copy the tracks then select the music section of the iphone and paste them in. I only use OS X but this should work. so if it doesnt you may be stuck with syncing selected playlists which should be easier to manage anyway.

A wordpress and safari question for all bloggers out there
Hi good knowledgable people out in Mac land. I'm trying to set up a blog on my domain and i'm thinking about using widgets on it. My question to you is how do you activate wordpress widgets using Safari? The instructions say to drag/drop widgets onto the side bar of the theme in Wordpress to activate them, but umm, i can't find the sidebars so how do people do this with Safari and Voiceover?

stopping an Audio Hijack session
Hi, I am trying out Audio Hijack Pro. I tried recording something off the Internet.

Now what do I do to tell it I'm done with the session? I can't find a Stop or Save option anywhere, nor can I find any relevant info in the manual. Thanks so much for any help.

Re: stopping an Audio Hijack session
Hi Anna, If you have the checkbox in Record enabled, AHP is recording, to stop recording, disable the checkbox for Record. When you enable the Record checkbox, HiJacking will automatically be enabled, so you do not need to press them both to start recording. You can also set AHP up to start and stop recording based on the input source level, but you can take a look at that feature later on You might also configure a hot keystroke to start and stop recording on-the-fly take a look in the preferences for that feature. Hope this helps a little. Take good care, John André On 9. aug.. 2009, at 15.09, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: > > Hi, > > I am trying out Audio Hijack Pro.

Iphone question
Hi all, OK, so I managed to see the Iphone a bit more today. A friend of mine helped me to start VoiceOver and then he pressed ok to confirm the gesture change. Later on the screen was black from what he told me but I suppose it's the setting that will turn off the screen if VOiceOver is turned on. Anyway, I managed to find out the status by tapping at the top left of the screen and I was also able to mute and unmute speech with three fingers double tap. But I couldn't get out of the screen and also I managed to start some music playback. I moved my fingers from left to right but not much happened. Will see the ihone gain soon, any tips? many thanks, Christian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: recording from mike and line-in
Hi Anna, You could get the free LineIn application from: http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/ This allows you to plug your iPod into the line-in connector on your Mac with a mini-to-mini plug connector and press a Pass Thru button in the app to direct the output of the iPod to your Mac's speakers. The Ma doesn't support the pass through function natively, and this can be useful, for example, when you want to monitor your recording level into the line-in when you are digitizing old cassette tapes, for example. Recording and editing programs such as Amadeus Pro often have such a feature built in. Select Input from Built-In Line In and send Output to Default System Outlput.. Then press the "pass-thru" check box. Another useful app from the same Rogue Amoeba freebies page is SoundSource, which shows the volume levels and sources of your output, input, and system on the status menu bar. It's not necessary, but it's a very convenient way to switch your input source from Line In back to Internal Microphone afterwards and also to set/monitor the volume levels or access your Sound Preferences or Audio Midi setup.

JAWS License and Fusion
Hi again folks, I encounter something that I think, personally, is kind of bizzarre. I installed a virtual Windows XP Professional machine last night, and it worked rather well. I installed my JAWS license as soon as everything was ready to go. Afterwards, I decided to try to find a balance where allocation of ram was concerned. Here's what happened. I keep the allocation of ram on 512 which is the recommended setting and install the JAWS license. I then, as mentioned above, wanted to play around with it. I changed it to 600, and found out that JAWS required another activation. I changed it back to 512, and I had no trouble. I changed it to 386, and I was asked to activate JAWS once again. I changed it back to 512, and it was all good. Anyone know why it affects it like that? Or am I the only one having this issue? Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: JAWS License and Fusion
Jaws probably thinks that a different memory allocation means a different machine, virtual or not; I wonder if you could change the simulated processor speed or chipset emulation and get a similar response from Jaws.

Re: JAWS License and Fusion
Hi Kane, I believe that whenever you change the amount of RAM you alocate, the JAWS licensing software thinks you're using a different computer and so wants you to activate JAWS again.

Re: Undownloaded podcasts in i-tunes.
Hi Daniel, Focus on the podcast's name and press VO-Shift-M. If there are podcast episodes available that you haven't downloaded, the last item in the context menu is Download Podcast Episode.

Re: Undownloaded podcasts in i-tunes.
Hi Daniel, Daniel Crone wrote: > > I have learned how to download podcasts with v o shift m. > But is there a way to tell itunes to download every episode of a > podcast? To download every available podcast episode from a feed, simply use the same VO-Shift-M (that's Control Option Shift M) shortcut to bring up the contextual menu and choose "Download Podcast Episode", but do this while your VoiceOver cursor is positioned at the folder for the podcast series in the Songs table. (For example, this is where you'll hear something like "Blind Cool Tech expanded level 0".) That's the equivalent of going through the list of all undownloaded episodes in the folder one by one and issuing the command to "Download Podcast Episode". Some podcast feeds have hundreds of episodes stored on them, so exercise care here. You can also select multiple episodes in the songs table, either in a block by pressing the shift key and arrowing down, or by using the procedure for non-contiguous selection, and then bring up the contextual menu (VO-Shift-M) to download episodes, add to a playlist, etc. en mass.

Re: JAWS License and Fusion
I don't believe that's quite correct. IF it would have the same effect on a physical computer, that is. I put extra ram in an actual XP machine I had a couple weeks ago, approximately 2GB and I didn't have the same problem as I do with Fusion whatsoever. It just seemed to run smoother, as it should. Unless I'm the exception. But yes, I certainly didn't have to reactivate or remove the ram. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

file sharing setup.
I just set up file sharing and noticed that the buttons are mislabeled if you attempt to customize what is shared and to whom. If anybody has a need to know about this let me know and I can walk you through the steps. By default when you turn file sharing on it is only enabled for computers running the AFB protocol and for the "public" folders under each user. This can be adjusted by you to allow SMB (Windows style) file sharing. There is also the ability to allow NFS, but I think this only works when using the Command Line Editor. NFS is the file sharing used by almost all varieties of UNIX including Linux.

If you put it back it 512 then it assoomes that you are using the older hardware. I will be more then happy to help you if you need, but this toopic really should be take this off list as this does not seem to do with mac or voice over any how.

Re: file sharing setup.
Hi Jon, Where do you turn on SMB file sharing? All the other computers on my network are PCs. I didn't see an option for that in System Preferences/ Sharing. Also, is turning on file sharing all I have to do to get the PUblic folder shared?

Re: Undownloaded podcasts in i-tunes.

Re: reading books on the iphone
Here is my sad report on the state of iPhone book reading applications on the iPhone Touch. I downloaded the following ebook reading application: eReader Stanza Kindle R&N eReader I am sorry to report that none of these applications are accessible with voiceover on the iphone. With the exception of Stanza none permit you to even see the list of installed books. Further it would seem from my study that the inaccessibility would appear to be a deliberate decision and not some kind of programming error as not having an accessible interface in the iPhone require the developer to deliberately choose to develop a none accessible control. Stanza may well be a design flaw as the issue there is not the inability to reach and read but one of not being able to turn the pages due to the assumption of a single tap on the right or left hand side of the screen. I am unsure why the developers of ebook readers have decided to implement their readers as they have. I suspect it may be due to the Author's Guild suit in the U.S. against the Kindle reader.

Setting up SMB on the macintosh.
setting Dear Friends, These instructions are just the overview. I assume the reader is familiar with configuring system preferences. 1. Go to sharing system preference pane. 2. Select file sharing in the "Services" table. 3. Click the options button (if problems make sure the system preferences are unlocked) 4. Click the SMB check box to enable windows style file sharing. 5. There is a table of user names below this check box. You must click each check box for a user that is allowed to use SMB this will then ask for that users password. 6. Click the OK button to return to the main sharing panel. 7. There are two untitled tables in the sharing pane. The first one is a list of directories that can be mounted. (Sharepoints) The second table lists users and their permissions for the selected sharepoint. Below these boxes are 4 buttons which are incorrectly ladled. The "Add Users" button is actually "Add Sharepoint", the "Add Sharepoint" is actually "add user" and the same can be said for the remove buttons. What is also interesting and I have not investigated is that it appears that entries in your address book can be added as file sharing users. Hope all of this helps and does not confuse.

Re: Setting up SMB on the macintosh.
Thanks for this. I've been meaning to do something like this for a while but I hadn't got round to googling it. Would you happen to know if I would be able to share a hole drive with write access fora given user as apposed to sharing every folder indervidually? I'm used to disabling simple file sharing on my pc's and then having access to the default admin shares which include every drive. On that note, do you know if I am able to append $'s to the share names so that they are hidden like I do in windows? Once again, thanks. On 10/08/2009, Jonathan C.

moving around in amadeus Pro
Hi, I just took a look at amadeus Pro. It looks like it has a lot of great options, but how do you move around in it? and know where you are I couldn't find rewind or fast forward functions, which is how I mostly navigated using GoldWave since it provided clear audio feedback.

Re: reading books on the iphone
Hello Greg and all: Thank you for your email. Do you have any information about the iceberg reader? I observe that many books in the itunes store seem to be using this. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I ask because some books though stated as being available in audio form in the itunes store are now only available in iceberg reader. Thank you for any response you might send. On Aug 9, 2009, at 9:29 PM, Greg Kearney wrote: > > Here is my sad report on the state of iPhone book reading applications > on the iPhone Touch.

mac and voiceover localised to other languages
Hello: I am specifically looking for Mac software and VoiceOver localised to Welsh. Does anyone know if Apple has produced a Welsh version of Mac products and if VoiceOver can be purchased for Welsh?

Re: mac and voiceover localised to other languages
Dear Rebecca, I, too, am a Welsh speaker, and I have already been e-mailing Apple about the Welsh language. There are no languages nor localisation available in the Welsh language and not likely to be. However, Welsh keyboard layout is a part of the operating system as standard, and one can choose it easily. It works well, providing the y and w with circumflex - which is usually difficult to produce on other keyboard layouts. I'm afraid the Welsh language needs are not being recognised because the small numbers of Welsh speakers. It will have to be down to somebody in Wales to do it, and I haven't found such a somebody with a know-how. I use refreshable Braille with my mac so I can just about cope with working in Welsh.
