Re: tag editor/file renamer

[Darcy Burnard]

Not sure if this will meet your needs or not, but when adding the id3  
tags for my podcasts, I use a program called id3 editor.  Find it at  
this URL.

watching (analog) tv on the mac?

[a radix]

Hello everyone, I wonder if it is possible to use some kind of tv card with the 
mac so that you can use it as a tv tuner? I know I could use something like 
slingbox to connect my existing digital tv receiver and use it on the internet 
but I am not sure if it is still available, available in europe or even works 
with my humac dvb-c hd receiver or my linksys router.
Any information would be welcome.
Greetings, Anouk,

maybe ot: apple id?

[a radix]

Hello, when I placed my order for my new macbook pro I got an apple id but I 
cant get a password for it. I can get to the reset password page but then I 
cant find anywhere where I can actually tell them that yes I want them to send 
me an email with the password. I dont really mind not having an apple id but it 
would be nice if I could track my laptop.

Re: fails to calibrate?

[Scott Howell]

I have not encountered this issue in all the years I've been burning  
dual-layer discs.  There is no setting you need to adjust to burn  
different types of DVDs.  Do you have a different brand of DVD or  
another DVD you can try?  What brand of DVD are these?

Re: fails to calibrate?

[Scott Howell]

I'm not familiar with this DVD, but if this is a sample, then at least  
your not out anything. Apparently it is recognized that some burners  
can't deal with these DVDs. I don't know, but wonder if it has  
anything to do with the color or reflectivity of the disc material.  
I'm not an expert on burning technology, but I know in the past there  
were some discs that did not work with some burners do to the color  
and reflectivity of the disc surface.

Re: finereader for the mac (ocr)

[Scott Howell]

Yeah, but be ware to all cause returning it does not seem to be a  
painless matter either when it is a download. I'll report back if I  
can't get resolution on that either, but my hope is they have been  
pretty responsive, both the folk at ABBYY and the reseller. So,  
hopefully they both live up to the return process. I am disappointed  
in how this program turned out, but it is a very good scanning engine  
to be honest.

Re: os x language and physical location?

[Chris Hofstader]

Macintosh was the first system to permit multiple languages in the  
same document and permit mixing and matching languages  since the  
advent of the Mac 2, I think in 1988 or 1989.

I know Mac has also led the way in difficult writing systems and, if I  
remember correctly, they were the first consumer computer to handle  
the full four Japanese writing systems via an IME but can't recall  
when they cracked this nut.

Far too little coffee this morning...

Re: finereader for the mac (ocr)

[Scott Howell]

Sure, I have a list of suggestions, which won't be very long and in  
fact if they correct the issues, I'd gladdly purchase it and hell if  
they would commit to making the corrections in a not to distant  
version, I'd keep what I have and hey let me test it and provide  
feedback.

Re: finereader for the mac (ocr)

It is part of the developers tools that came with your mac on a cd.  
But I should warn you that doing such modifications to application is  
not a simple matter and can lead to trouble.

Re: can't partition main drive?

[Dan]

Hello,
This is what you need to do. When selecting the drive, don't select  
the actual label of the drive, select the model number of the drive  
which is just above the actual drive. Now when you look at the tabs,  
you will see that the third tab is partition.

Re: maybe ot: apple id?

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Anouk,

YOu will definitely need an Apple ID. You use it to register products  
and buy things from the itunes store or the online store. Did you at  
some point fill in a form online to create one? Typically your  
username is your e-mail address, and you decide what the password is.  
If you never did that, there should be a link to create an Apple ID on  
the same page where you sign into the site.

HTH,
Anna

Re: can't partition main drive?

[Esther]

Hello,

Dan's summarized how to select the drive. For a more detailed  
description of partitioning with disk utility, including how to choose  
an arbitrary partition size, see Scott's instructions from the old  
list archives:

http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg43525.html
(How to set partition size with Disk Utility)

I did an archive search on "partition size -bootcamp" and the above  
post came up first, but there was also an interesting post from Jacob  
on an accessible (but commercially sold) partitioning tool called  
iPartition that came up as the second hit:

http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg44127.html
(resizing partitions)

Cheers,

Esther

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?

I would like to think that that the HD standards are the same in 
different countries now so we don't have the NTSC v. PAL issues. That 
said, I thought this little USB TV tuner seemed interesting:

Not sure if that's the kind of thing you were looking for.

Re: One little annoying thing with iPhone

[Marie Howarth]

the settings to put someone on speaker phone when I need my hands. but  
May's right, use the headset if you wanna avoid this feature.

Re: Syrinx and Twitter podcast?

[Dane Trethowan]

I use this software all the time and it has an issue when interacting  
with the table and using vo-left and right arrow to navigate the text  
so the only way around this is to navigate by character.

I'm having no trouble with it here, the client clearly identifys the  
form of each message whether it be a direct message, a mention or a  
reply to.

There are many commands and the best way I've found to find out what  
the hotkeys are is to go into the menu system and have a look around,  
the toolbar is also extensive and well detailed, if it weren't for the  
one problem I've noted then this software would have to be one of the  
best Twiter clients I've used on any platform, have you tried Adium?  
You're supposed to be able to use that as a Twitter client now.

New Guide posted to Maccessibility.net - The Insertion Point and VoiceOver

[Josh de Lioncourt]

We’ve just added a new entry to our collection of guides for blind and  
visually impaired Mac users. In "TheInsertion Point and VoiceOver", we  
provide an explanation and example for new VoiceOver users coming from  
Windows on the difference between the way in which Windows screen  
readers and VoiceOver handle the concept of the insertion point. New  
iPhone users who have not previously had experience with the Mac  
platform may also find this guide helpful. An iPhone specific version  
is planned for the future.

http://maccessibility.net/guides/voiceover/insertion-point/

Enjoy!

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I have a TV tuner for my Windows PC, its a Leadtech HDTV2000 PCI card  
though I know that a USB version is available, not sure whether it  
would work with the Mac though but the point is that this tuner is  
"world band compatible", meaning that it was specifically designed to  
work in many world-wide regions, just select your city and country  
upon install and away you go so I'm assuming that many other TV tuner  
packages available - and this one is certainly not the most expensive  
- will also do the same.  Question though, why analogue TV, surely  
digital - if its available - would be the way to go with a clearer  
picture and the possibilities that surround-sound has to offer?

I don't want to stray off-topic so I'll leave the discussion here  
.

Re: configuring my macbook pro

[Chris Blouch]

Well, depends on your definition of "whatever"  For most people 
3-4GB is just fine. I have 3 and with 512MB dedicated to my VMWare XP 
(when I have it running) it still does just fine. Mostly I'm doing 
standard stuff like web surfing, email and editing documents. Unless 
you're doing editing of crazy big files like images or audio you should 
be fine.

It's possible to read text in other languages with Alex when you've

Re: iPhone and iPod

[Chris Blouch]

Interesting. So I just tried this on the main page to double-tap and 
hold on an icon for a second which then let me drag it to a new position 
and the press home to lock it down. No feedback while I was doing it but 
the other icons shifted down or up to make room for the icon I was 
dragging. Wasn't sure how to do this before.

Re: Listening to Podcasts in iTunes

[Chris Blouch]

If you can download the file then you can import it to iTunes and sync 
it to your iPod. The first step depends a lot on how it was embedded in 
the page. If they just have it as a link to the actual file you can get 
the contextual menu on that link to download it. If they have some 
ebedded player like quicktime or flash you might have to hunt through 
the page html to find the actual URL to download the file from.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?

[a radix]

There are no digital tv tuners available that work with the dvb-c provider that 
operates in my region. they use a special thing called irdeto2 and they use a 
decoder. I cant go into all that but the point is you can only use certain 
certified decoders or tvs with it, there are no decoders for this that work 
with the pc so if I want digital tv I would have to use some kind of relay 
system that relays the information of my home decoder.

  Hi!


  I have a TV tuner for my Windows PC, its a Leadtech HDTV2000 PCI card though 
I know that a USB version is available, not sure whether it would work with the 
Mac though but the point is that this tuner is "world band compatible", meaning 
that it was specifically designed to work in many world-wide regions, just 
select your city and country upon install and away you go so I'm assuming that 
many other TV tuner packages available - and this one is certainly not the most 
expensive - will also do the same.  Question though, why analogue TV, surely 
digital - if its available - would be the way to go with a clearer picture and 
the possibilities that surround-sound has to offer?


  I don't want to stray off-topic so I'll leave the discussion here .

Re: Viruses on your Mac

[Dane Trethowan]

Quite a few nice little anti virus things about for the Mac it seems,  
I've stumbled across something called Protect Mac Anti Virus which is  
$45.00 for a yearly subscription, I think they have an offer going for  
an extra month if you buy the product now.  anyway - like all software  
should be for the Mac  - its completely accessible clearly  
showing you toolbars, detailed status reports, plenty of shortcuts and  
good menu facilities, in short a well written piece of software in my  
view and I sincerely hope it does the job I'll be paying it to do, you  
can download a free 30 day trial at http://www.protectmac.com

Re: Syrinx and Twitter podcast?

An alternative for now is to use the re-tweet command and read word-by-word in

is also extensive and well detailed, if it weren't for the one problem I've 
noted then this software would have to be one of the best Twiter clients I've 
used on any platform, have you tried Adium? You're supposed to be able to use 
that as a Twitter client now.

Hi,
Has anybody done a tutorial on using Syrinx and Twitter?  I installed  
Syrinx but am a lil lot confused on using it.  The "Friends" list for  
example isn't speaking.

Any info on this would be most welcome.
Thanks

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?

I believe that's what the EyeTV software does:

http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/software/EyeTV3/product1.en.html

and their eyeconnect lets you stream that media to other devices:

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?

[Dane Trethowan]

hmmm, I'm looking at the site now, doesn't seem to be a trial link or  
anything which is most helpful , I'm sure I've heard of this  
software before but there seems to be some doubt to its accessibility,  
I'll keep an eye on that one so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

I have heard that the same software that works on Linux works on the  
Macintosh. I don't know if it is accessable. I at one point  (about 4  
years ago) was looking at a product called iTV that was able to  
convert analog TV signals into a USB stream and also included DVR  
abilities.

side bar list

[louie]

Hi all,
I have a item that I can't get off the side bar. When I do a search  
for the name of the item it is not found. I do a search of the entire  
computer. I ran through almost of the tests that Itool would do with  
no joy. the item was a album that I had in music. I am up against a  
wall on this one. Sure could use some help.
Thanks.

Mic not working in Garage Band, and simple recording program?

[terrence]

Hello, all,
I'm using Garage Band with the standard line-in source selected, but I'm
not getting any sound, despite having my input level as high as it will
go in both Garage Band itself and in System Preferences.  The mic is one
of these headset mics with a plug for the headset and one for the mic.
Also, is there a simpler program than Garage Band?  I just want to be
able to push record and run with it.

Thanks,
Terrence

Thanks Chris that seems very interesting. I also heard on the screenless

Root Kits

[James & Nash]

Hi folks,

With all this talk of viruses on the list recently this got me thinking. As 
Mac OS X is Unix based, is there the possibility that we could be attacked 
by Root Kits and if so is there a program for the Mac which can stop these 
attacks? Under Linux there is RKHunter which is very good. I do not mind 
command line based tools if they are the only ones around.

Thanks
Take care

Re: clearing selection in Amadeus Pro

Anna,

Quick reply because my connection is about to go down, but you might  
want to subscribe to the mac-access list and post this question  
there.  Send a message to:
mac-access-subscr...@tft-bbs.com

Their servers are in transition, or I would point you to:
http://www.tft-bbs.com/mailing-lists.html
for information about the list, but that page is not working.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: Root Kits

[Chris Blouch]

This gets into a funny grey area. On the one hand most folks have used 
macs for years without any issues of viruses or malware. Some argue it's 
because the system is more secure while others say its because the mac 
market is a much smaller target, not worth the effort. It's hard to find 
info on this since many of the articles and sites are connected to 
selling software to find/scan/remove bad stuff which may or may not even 
be needed. Likewise articles from blackhat conferences and the like only 
prove that it is possible but provide no context as to whether these 
things are really being done in the real world. My own anecdotal 
evidence is that not a single Mac owner I know of nor on any mac-related 
mailing list I'm on has had a single mention of somebody getting 
infected with something on the Mac. This isn't proof, but it's a high 
correlation between using a mac and safe computing. Others might still 
argue that as the Mac market share has grown the oasis of pulchritude is 
drying up and we'll be just like Windows when the baddies take notice. 
Maybe, but so far the ice hasn't cracked and nobody has fallen through.

Re: List archives

[Chris Blouch]

A nice one, which archives this and a pile of other mailing lists, can 
be found here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/

It's fairly fast but, like Google search, you need to be specific in 
your search terms. Nice thing is you might discover answers from other 
mailing lists that you don't normally subscribe to.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?

[John G. Heim]

I can't find the beginning of this thread and I can't give any info about 
watching TV on the Mac but for $5 you can buy a cable that allows you to 
connect a VCR, DVD player, or a digital converter box to the sound input 
jack of your Mac. I don't have a TV any more. I just have a converter box. 
But I don't want a picture, just sound.

Re: Root Kits

[ben mustill-rose]

I think your safe to be honest - perhaps not for ever, but for quite a while.
Theres no doubt in my mind that since osx is based on unix its going
to be a lot more securer than any offering from ms and I don't think
this will change any time soon.

However, you do here of unix based systems being exploited and I think
that in the coming years when apples market share increases you'll see
more attacks on macs, probably concentrating on apps as apposed to the
os. Even so, any exploit that can be run against the app is useless if
the app doesn't have access to crytical system functions.

That's a fair point. That is why I always run two accounts on my machines 
regardless of whether they are Windows, Mac or Linux. One Admin account 
which is only used for updating etc and a limited account which is used for 
daily computing.

Take care

Re: Root Kits

Hello.  I have set up my computer with one account.  If I want to set

Or, am I better off to create an admin account, and then make this one

 With all this talk of viruses on the list recently this got me

 As
 Mac OS X is Unix based, is there the possibility that we could be

 by Root Kits and if so is there a program for the Mac which can  
 stop
 these

 attacks? Under Linux there is RKHunter which is very good. I do  
 not mind
 command line based tools if they are the only ones around.

Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod

[rayna424]

Hi all,

Quick question on Victor Reader...is it compatible with Mac?

On iPod, I got a nano before my macbook. I hooked it up, had auto sync
off, so didn't lose whats on it. But I can't do anything with it aside
from listen. If I try to add anything, I'll lose whats on it. Also, I
need to change the voice but can't find where to do that. Also, it
keeps saying there are updates for the iPod, but when I select update,
it freezes and does nothing.

Do I just need another iPod? Am I out of luck with this one, since my
friend did stuff to it on his Mac? Help? Please?

Oh and do you know how to import the stuff from the pod to iTunes? I
selected that, and it said there was trouble with some of it, but that
it imported some of it. I'm so confused...

Thanks,
Randi

Re: Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Randy,

If you check Manually Manage Music on the iPod Summary tab, you can  
add music to it without losing what's already on it. Connect the iPod,  
focus on its name in the Sources table, then VO-Right Arrow to iPod  
SEttings and make sure Summary is selected to get to this option.

There is no way using iTunes to import music from an iPod to iTunes. I  
know there are Windows programs that can do this, but don't know if  
there are Mac equivalents.

I'm not sure why you can't download the update. It did take a while  
when I did it and I wasn't sure whether anything was happening, but it  
worked in the end.

As for the Victor Stream, the Mac treats it as an external disk and  
works fine with it. I can't get it to work in Windows on my Mac,  
however (I run Windows via VMWare Fusion).

HTH,
Anna

Re: clearing selection in Amadeus Pro

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Dane,

selecting doesn't appear to count as an action, so it can't be undone  
with Command-Z. I did discover that if I press Option-Home to move the  
insertion point to the top of the file, the selection seems to go  
away. I don't know whether there's a better way to do this or not.

Best,
Anna

Re: Mic not working in Garage Band, and simple recording program?

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Terrence,

Do you have a microphone input as well as line in? If so, plug the  
mike into that and select that input rather than Line In. I don't  
think LIne In will work with a microphone. Or maybe there's a preamp  
that can be used. I have a Mac Mini, which doesn't have a microphone  
jack, so I had to buy a USB microphone.

I bought two recording packages, Audio Hijack Pro for recording  
multiple sound sources at once (system audio, microphone, and line in)  
and Amadeus Pro for editing my recordings. These are both good programs.

HTH,
Anna

Re: Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod

[rayna424]

Hi oh and thank you!! Ok, I have selected manually manage music, did
that a few days ago. So, if I sync though, to add stuff, will I lose
whats on it? How do I add stuff to it? I've never used an ipod before.
I can locate it just fine, and have the manually manage music
selected. Where do I go from here?

Is there anyway to see whats on the iPod and delete stuff at all? I
can't seem to do that. There's some stuff on there I don't want to
keep on it.

As for the update, its good to know it took awhile and that you didn't
know if anything was happening. It just says status or something, but
doesn't say anything. I'll try updating it too.

Can you just walk me through how to add a playlist or podcasts to it
without losing whats on it?

Thank you thank you! And thanks for the info on Victor; I saw it
today at the center and fell in absolute and total love!

Thanks,
Randi

Re: Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Randi,

To see what's on your iPod, focus on its name in the Sources table and  
type VO-Backslash to expand it. Then as you move down, you will come  
to categories such as Music and Audiobooks. When focused on one of  
these, stop interacting with the Sources table and move with VO-Right  
Arrow to the Songs table. All your music is listed there if you  
selected music in the Sources table; the same goes for the other  
categories. You can narrow your search either by typing something in  
the search box, such as an artist, album name or track name, or you  
can turn on the Playlists browser with Command-B. This lets you browse  
by genre, artist or album.

When you're focused on Music in the Sources table, if you keep moving  
with VO-Right Arrow, you come to the Autofill options. These let you  
put all the contents of the playlist you select into your iPod. Note  
that this copies the music in the playlist but not the playlist name.

You can also select a single track or group of tracks, type Command-C,  
then focus on your iPod's name in the Sources table and type Command-V  
to paste your selection to the iPod.

I hope this makes sense.

You might be interested in a book I wrote a few months ago called  
Using the Accessible iPod. It was written before I had a Mac, so the  
iTunes commands are for Windows, but itunes isn't that different  
between the two if you know how to navigate on a Mac. The book  
describes how to get music into iTunes, how to set up your iPod  
(fourth generation iPod Nano or any iPod Shuffle), how to get music  
and podcasts onto it, and which menu options are accessible and how to  
use them. It's available in a variety of formats from National Braille  
Press and costs $15. YOu can learn more at

Re: Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod

[Jenny Kennedy (Howard)]

Hi Randy,
I'm sorry you are having such a time with your iPod.
I can only answer one of your questions. This is changing the voice.

1. Go to system prefrences.
2. In the System section go to speech
3. go to the text to speech tab
4. The first thing under that is "system voice" there will be a pop up  
menu where you can pick the system voice.  This will be the voice  
iTunes uses to make the little TTS files that go on the iPod.

I wish I could help you out with more.  Oh hang on. iPod update. I  
just did this.
When you connect the iPod to the computer it will show up in devices  
right? Well highlight the iPod and then VO over to the right where you  
can choose all the settings for music videos ect.  There should be a  
thing right there on the screen, it isn't in a menu or anything just  
right there it should tell you about your iPod software and you can  
check for updates.  You may have to resort to resetting the iPod which  
may mean losing whatever it is you have on there.  I've heard of  
programs that will extract stuff off an iPod through something other  
than iTunes but am clueless on all that.
HTH and good luck. :-) ~~~*~~~

Re: Victor Reader and really really need help with iPod

[Jenny Kennedy (Howard)]

Hi again Randy :-)
Yep thereis a way to see what is on your iPod.
Okay I hope I can explain this.
Right in the sorces table in iTunes highlight your iPod.  It might  
have one of those triangle things and if it says colapsed you'll have  
to do a Control option backslash to open the iPod. downarrow and you  
should hear such things as Music, Movies, Podcasts and the like.   
These are the little sections in your ipod.  If you want to look at  
music, high light it and VO over to the right to the table and  
interact with it it should show all the music songs you have.
If ou know the name of the song you want gone, highlight the music in  
the sorces table under your ipod and then go to the search box at the  
top right and put in the song name and it should only show that song,  
or group of songs, this is best if you have many songs with a comon  
thing like artist or if it is a multi part audiobook or something. you  
can slect all and make it go off your iPod or you can go through one  
song at a time without entering search text and clean out stuff that  
way.. Hope I was clear and HTH

[Yuma Antoine Decaux]

Hi everyone,

I have purchased the french voice pack from acapella. 4 voices  
including the us heather voice. Thanks everyone for the suggestions  
and opinions about this product. It helped motivate my purchase.  
Couldn't continue jacking my neck around to try to understand written  
mails in frenglish :)

best

Audio Editor

[Mitchell Smith]

Hi List,

Could anyone recommend a good audio editor that works well with VoiceOver?

I don't need anything too advanced, just something I can use to trim white 
noise from the start and end of wav files, as well as apply fading to selected 
sections of audio.

Something that makes it easy to select sections of audio with a keyboard would 
be great, preferably with fairly fine increments for jumping forward and back.

Thanks,

Mitchell

Hi Mitchell,

amadeus Pro should meet your needs. Be sure to check out the guide on  
it at icanworkthisthing.com. This guide really helped me with the  
program.

Best,
