VO+f8 doesn't work after upgrade to SnowLeopard
Hi, Well, the subject says it all. Nothing happens when I press VO+f8. Is it possible in SL to reassign the key combination VO+f8 to start VoiceOver, or do I need to make a clean install? I did an upgrade install. Thanks in advance. Daniel --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: VO+f8 doesn't work after upgrade to SnowLeopard
hey, you have to go into system preferences and then select keyboard. then there's a checkbox that says "use all f1, f2 etc as standard function keys" or something to that effect, make sure that checkbox is checked. then you'll be able to use your VO f8 as you normally would.

iTunes 9 column browser query
Hi all. Does anyone know in the new itunes 9 for the mac how to use the column browser feature? it's different to how it used to behave in version 8.21. I've typed in a search term while selecting music in the source view. I did a command b to enable the column browser then tab over to the playlist column and I see things like artists compilations in the column. I'm wondering how are you meant to then select a compilation once you find compilations in the playlist column? Just to the right of the playlist column is the songs table. In itunes 8 you could tab between the different searches with the artist browser. if anyone can explain how this new column browser works, i'd be really greatful.

Re: Query about 10.6.1 update
Hello Jean-Christophe, Whatever anyone may claim, I looked at the version of flash installed on my MacBook and it wasn't the latest version. It is now, however, because I updated it manually. I've also discovered what changes the size of the update, it all depends on what you installed with Snow Leopard. I did a straightforward install, whereas my husband installed all possible printer drivers. My update was 9.8 MB and his was 75 MB. He also has all the developer tools, etc. Cheers, Anne On Sep 13, 2009, at 4:03 PM, JC Helary wrote: > > Anne, > > According to: > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3810 > and > http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ > > The Flash plugin that comes with 10.6.1 is the latest version > available on Mac. > > On 13 sept. 2009, at 22:25, Anne Robertson wrote: > >> >> Hello James, >> >> No, it didn't update the Flash player plugin.

Re: iTunes 9 column browser query
First off, if you haven't already found it, there's a new submenu in the view menu that allows you to choose what you want the playlist browser to show. You can check mark genre, artist, album, etc... This will get the playlist browser to at least appear as it used to. Now, with regards to getting Voice Over to actual read the items in the browser list without having to interact with everything is another issue. Some folks have figured out different work arounds that I would recommend checking out, but it really is quite buggy right now. Good luck.

braille display works great and a question
Wow guys, bluetooth braille is like lightning on my mac. I can't even believe the responce time. I just have one question, and maybe I'll ask apple accessibility, but I wanted to try here first in case some one did it already. Can I build braille input for my braille connect? I've noticed that all the default commands are set up on the command keys now which leaves all the input keys free. If I could type on my display my happiness would be complete.

Removing applications folder from Dock and changing from stacks after ffresh install of Snow Leopard
Hi folks, I have recently completed a fresh install of Snow Leopard. VoiceOver is very impressive, however I have a question regarding the Dock. How can i remove the applications folder from it and change the stacks to a list as VO will not work in stacks. I am onlyassuming that they are stacks as VO does not speak.

Voiceover now announces attribute changes and keyboard layout changes!
Dear Listers, I have some exciting news about Voiceover. Voiceover now announces text attributes changes when working in TextEdit by saying for instance "bold checked" and "bold unchecked" when pressing the shortcut key command+B. The same is true of the other attributes like italic and underline. I am thrilled by these changes which I had requested from the Accessibility Team some months ago. It makes all the difference in the world to know now whether you have activated a given attribute or not. Better still, for those of us who use a few keyboardl layouts in order to work in foreign languages, when the command+spacebar or option +spacebar shortcut keybs are pressed, Voiceover now announces which keyboard layout is loaded. I just cannot believe how wonderful it is. I've written to Apple to thank them for these vital changes. For those of you who have more than two keyboard layouts on the menu, command+spacebar will alternate between two last keyboard layouts used only. However, option+spacebar will take you through all the keyboards that you have put on the menu. Just wonderful. Again, I asked for this feature a few months ago but wasn't at all sure that it would be implmeneted any time soon.

Ipod 5g voiceover queries
Hi all. I'm thinking about buying one of the new 5g nano's with the voiceover support built right in. can anyone who owns one of these answer the following please? 1. Is the fm radio fully accessible and can you set your own station presets? 2. Does the pedometter actually work and is it usable? I would really like the pedometer so I can know how far i've walked on the treadmill etc. 3. Are there any features we can't access using voiceover on the new 5g ipod nano? I understand we won't be able tuuse such feature as contacts games and some of the extras. finally is the voiceover in the 5g nano actually like in the 3rd shuffle not using little clips generated like on the 4g nano?

Command-Option-F in iTunes (burning and finding total time) and in Safari (searching) [was Re: awesome new keyboard command in itunes 9]
Hi Scott, Command-Option-F is, indeed, a useful command, but it's actually one of the first commands I was ever able to use in iTunes, even before it became fully accessible, and has worked in every version of iTunes that I've used. In fact, it was mentioned as part of a reply to one of your questions last year (a follow-up to the main question). It's a quick way to get to the "Burn Disc" button if you are burning a playlist to CD or DVD; use Command-Option-F to move to the search field and then VO-Down arrow to the "Burn Disc" button and press it (VO-Space). Of course, now we can also issue the burn command from the context menu of the playlist in the sources table with VO-Shift-M, but at the time you either had to find this button or find the command under the File menu of the iTunes menu bar, which you can also still do. I'll excerpt bits from the archived discussion post at: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg36685.html I'll add some new comments about this command and iTunes 9 at the end of the excerpted discussion: > On Jun 20, 2008, Scott Rutkowski wrote: > >> HI all. >> >> can anyone who uses iTunes tell me if you make a playlist in iTunes, >> is there a way of finding out the total time of the playlist itself? >> I've made a playlist and am trying to find out the total time so I >> can burn it to an audio cd. >> Any info would be great. >> >> Thanks. Cara responded: > > Hi Scott, Good mornin'!Use the item chooser to locate > the burn disc button and then VO left arrow once. You'll see the > total number of songs, the total time, and the total size. > > HTH and I wrote: Hi Cara and Scott, Another way to get to the burn button without having to use the item chooser is to VO-down arrow from the search text field. I like doing it that way because I can either tab to the search text field or go to it directly with Command-Option-F. So, Cara's instructions could be redone by replacing the step about finding the burn button with the VO-down arrow from the search text field and the VO-left arrow from there. Incidentally, I check the total time and space even when I'm not on a playlist, so there isn't always a "burn button" -- on a music library or for podcasts this action of VO-down from the search text field would take me to the "Browse" button, and I could still VO-left to the summary infomation. This is a good way to find out when your podcasts library is getting really large! I didn't give these directions, because the button you get (browse, burn etc.) when you VO-down from the search text field changes depending on what's in your source list selection, and that seemed too confusing to summarize, but this is faster -- even faster if you skip item chooser. Cheers, Esther I'll first note that the fast way to check total time, number of items, of disk space in a playlist is simply to VO-Down arrow from the songs table and you'll hear a summary, for example: 20 audiobooks, 4:22:08:12 total time, 1.70 GB If you click on the field, you can change between more or less detailed time reporting formats, for instance: 20 audiobooks, 4.9 days, 1.70 GB This can be useful even if you're not burning tracks to CD or DVD, but just trying to design playlists or thinking about how much space the music you plan to transfer to your iPod will take up. Secondly, when I inserted a blank CD to check that these instructions still worked for iTunes 9 something odd happened: my file browser behavior reverted to the format that I used for iTunes 8, which I actually prefer. Instead of just showing an "Artist column", I recovered the three columns for "Genre", "Artist", and "Album". I didn't recover the nice tabbing behavior of iTunes 8 between sources table, search field, and songs table, but I still think this is an improvement. I'm still using Leopard, if it makes a difference, so I haven't been having the same other issues navigating. Final comments about Command-Option-F in another context: I use this command all the time to go to the Google Search field in Safari. Even though I hide the address bar (toggled between show and hide with Command-Shift-backslash on an English input keyboard, or "Command- Vertical line" as it is announced in the View menu options) and bookmarks bar (Command-Shift-B toggle) in Safari, using this shortcut doesn't keep the address bar open. I press Command-Option-F and the address bar opens. I type in my search text and press return, and the address bar closes again while my search is executed. Using the Google Search bar (from Command-Option-F) for your searches gives you access to another search results snapback key: Command- Option-S will snap you back to your last search page. This shortcut only works if you used the Google Search bar to do your search. It does not work if you ran your search by entering search terms in the search field on the Googl
About airfoil on mac.

Re: I got back a tonne of space
Hi erik, Yes, one of the advertised features of Snow Leopard was an effort to make the same apps run in less space, and also to reduce the files that got loaded by default. So no, it wasn't a question of Leopard starting out bloated, Apple tried to both reduce the size of standard applications and make the suite of applications run in a tighter configuration in Snow Leopard. Here's a quote from a very early article (February) in Wired entitled "Leaked Snow Leopard Screenshots Reveal Slimmer, Faster Mac OS X": Apple’s suite of stock applications seem to have also gone on a strict diet and exercise regime, with nearly all the included apps radically reduced in size. For example, iChat in Leopard weighs in at 114MB while the Snow Leopard version drops to 22 MB, Dashboard goes from 184 KB to 111 KB and Mail goes from 289 MB to 36 MB. Overall Snow Leopard’s application appear to save around a gig of drive space compared to Leopard. However, could it be that you still had copies of some of your music files stored in iTunes? I don't think that the new OS accounts for all the difference. Some of this may be that certain files won't be installed automatically by the base installation. For example, I think you may to check that QuickTime gets installed. Also, people who got the iLife '08 or iLife '09 suite had a lot of extras files added in, like Garage Band loops and sound effects. As a followup to the ringtones discussion, I noted that there were a lot of sound effect files in the: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/ folder under two directories: "Apple Loops for Garageband" and "iLife Sound Effects". The iLife Sound Effects are particularly nice for making ringtones, and under the "Work - Home" folder there were numerous sound of telephones ringing, wrong number messages, fax tones, etc. These are .caf (core audio files), so they can't be used directly for ringtones by converting in iTunes -- they're basically like AIFF files but extended so that they aren't subject to the same 4 GB size limit and number of tracks that AIFF has -- but they can be opened in Amadeus Pro and converted just by selecting the track (Command-A) and going to the File menu on the Amadeus menu bar (VO-M; Press "F" and arrow down) and pressing "E" to go to "Export as iPhone Rightone…" then pressing return. Accepting all defaults will generate a Ringtone soundclip and add it to your iTunes Ringtones directory. These sound files also appear to be left out of the Snow Leopard install, since someone reported not being able to find them after doing a clean install to Snow Leopard.

Re: podcasts on your iPod?
Hi Jessi, There is selections for both of your questions in the setup area in iTunes for the iPHone/iPOd. There is a list of the podcasts you are subscribed to, and you can check/uncheck as you like, and select for example only to sync the most recent/newest podcast episodes you still have not heard to be synced. As a result, the episodes you have heard will be deleted, and your unit will always have new and fresh episodes that you have not heard to be ready to play... HOpe this helps, and take care, John André On 14. sep. 2009, at 01.52, Jessi and Goldina wrote: > > hey guys > > do any of you use your iPod to listen to podcasts?

Re: VLC does not work on Snow Leopard at the moment
I installed vlc today on my mini with Snow Leopard and it does seem to stutter at the beginning of a song. Does anyone know if there is a buffer setting somewhere?

Re: podcasts on your iPod?
Hi, When you connect your iPod, choose Podcasts in the Settings area. Press VO-Right Arrow until you reach a pop-up menu called Sync, and choose All Unplayed. That way, when you finish playing a podcast, it will be deleted the next time you sync your iPOd with your computer. The next control or controls, depending which version of iTunes you have, let you choose between syncing all podcasts or selected podcasts. If you choose Selected Podcasts, you then come to a table where all your podcasts are listed. Check the ones you want to sync and uncheck the rest. Then VO-Right Arrow to Apply, and all should work as you want. Best, Anna --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Message headers and voiceover
Hi Simon, Clicking the physical mouse while the mouse is focused on the email address in the header opens the menu where you can reply to sender, etc. Just be sure you either have the mouse set to follow the VO cursor or that you press VO-Command-F5 to get it to the right place.

Re: podcasts on your iPod?
ooh, thanks!! I didn't realize you had to interact with each individual podcast in the table in order to see the other columns and change the checkboxes! I got it set up now...thanks!!

Snow Leopard and Itunes 9
Hi to the list. I am really confused about how to purchase a song using Itunes 9. I type a title into the search field, no problem. Hit Enter. I can find the HTML portion of the Itunes store without difficulty containing all of the albums with the particular song, but the songs table listing individual songs is simply missing, pressing VO right arrow simply is showing no song table at all. Any hints about where the heck is the songs table would sure be helpful, and thanks a lot. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Snow Leopard and Itunes 9
Hello James, The songs table is now inside the HTML area of iTunes. What I do now is, once I am in the HTML area, I bring up item chooser menu (VO-I) and look for "heading level 2 Songs". Then I VO-Right arrow to the name, time, artist, etc. fields. If you do not have your Mouse cursor following your VoiceOver cursor you will have to route it with VO- Command-F5 when you want to preview the song and click with VO-Shift- Space. I also use this method of clicking on the "Buy" field to make my purchase. HTH. Maybe someone else can make suggestions (I'm not upgraded to Snow Leopard yet, but am using iTunes 9).
