Re: Question on Mail Settings on the Mac
Hi Dave, this setting is found under accounts in the mail preferences, on the advanced tab of that pane. Hope this helps.

Re: Spotify for iPhone
Hello Tony and rest of ye. I have Spotify on both Windows and Mac. On Windows, with jaws, you have to use the jaws-marker to brows around. On the Mac, it's only possible to search for something, and play the result without further browsing. :( I've also mailed them a half year ago, and then they said they're not gonna do something with accessibility in the near future :( But if enough people request accessibility, maybe they change their minds... So, for those who want to check it out, go to http://www.spotify.com and register for an account (With invite, it's free. 1 moth pass, 99 NOK. and 1 year subscription, 999 NOK. 1 day pass isn't possible for new subscribers.

Re: Spotify for iPhone
Hi David, I have not used this app on any platform, but I will check the free version on iPHone later today if you like. In many cases, an iPhone app can be fully accessible on the iPhone, even though the developer don't care about it at all, and even though it may be inaccessible on the Mac or Windows platform. That's the beauty of how Apple is implementing accessibility into their frameworks now. I have spoke with norwegian iPHone app developers that tells me they have not been aware about the accessibility with VoiceOver issue, but simply followed Apple's guidelines in programming, and created fully VO compatible apps.

Re: Snow Leopard and Itunes 9
Hi Esther, Thanks for the directions for finding and previewing tracks. They work well for the most part. I was going through a song list of about 50 songs, and had no trouble previewing the first 22 or so. Then I came to a row where the mouse cursor would not route to the vO cursor; it would only go to the Apple menu. Still, this is way better than no access at all.

Re: Snow Leopard and Itunes 9
Hi Anna, What I usually do myself is VO-Right arrow from "Songs" to the "See all" link and VO-Space. This loads the table of songs onto a new page, but takes a while to respond, so if you're looking for a track that is likely to be matched within the first dozen or so item listed, you're better off just doing VO-Right arrow directly into the table. When you're on the newly loaded HTML page for the songs list, you'll notice that you can VO-Right arrow to a link for "Next page" if the results are really long. Also, you can sort on the column headers, but only if you are on the fields for the headers of each column for the table and physically click on the headers with VO-Shift-Space after routing your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor (VO-Command-F5). Clicking again reverses sort order. I don't recommend doing this unless you just like to experiment, since it takes a while to reload, and I'm not sure that it adds much to the current search. You can't sort with a context menu or through the VoiceOver Commands menu (VO-H twice). I can't VO-Down arrow through any of the columns (in Leopard), for instance, to look for a specific Artist when I've done a song search, so I think you'd be advised to put in as many fields as you want to select by when you use the Power Search. What may have happened for the first 22 tracks you could preview is that you were in a scrolling table that didn't update. That may be why we're forced to VO-Right arrow through the individual tracks. You could try commands like VO-End and VO-Home (to go to end and beginning, including scrolling). I think its more robust to press "See all" and have the songs table load by itself on to a new page instead of working with results embedded in the HTML area containing Album results, etc. in terms of working with VoiceOver but it is less responsive in terms of having to wait for the new page to load.

Re: VO+f8 doesn't work after upgrade to SnowLeopard
Hello! Are you trying to turn VoiceOver on by pressing Control-Option-F8 or bring up the Voiceover Utility? Before you can open VoiceOver Utility, VoiceOver must be turned on (Command-F5). Once VoiceOver is on, you can open VoiceOver Utility with Control-Option-F8. Remember, depending upon your keyboard, settings and/or computer model, you may have to hold down the FN key as well. Lou.

Re: I got back a tonne of space
Well, the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts are supposed to remove older temp files. If you regularily shutdown your system, I understand that the launch service can get confused and never schedule them to run. Check the consoel for their log files and confirm that they have run. There are also some add on utilities meant to clean out old preference files and such. Jon On Sep 13, 2009, at 8:26 PM, erik burggraaf wrote: > > Interestin.

Re: awesome new keyboard command in itunes 9
Hello! Just as an add-on to your Command-Option-F "find" in iTunes, after you enter your search term in the search field, you can press OPTION- RETURN and your search will take place inn the iTunes Store, not your Library. I would also like to point out that these keyboard commands have been around since iTunes 7ish... Lou.

Re: Message headers and voiceover
I had not been able to get the menu to come up via a mouse click. It just would not work for me. However, I just figured out why. Well, at least I think that is why. Every time I would rout the mouse pointer to the voiceover cursor and mouse click nothing would happen except for the sound of the mouse click. My voiceover cursor size was set to ten. If I shrink the voiceover cursor to one then route the mouse pointer to the voiceover cursor then do the mouse click then it works and a menu comes up.

Re: Snow Leopard and Itunes 9
Hi, I have a question. I want to make sure I understand. One of the reasons I have not upgraded to itunes nine is because of the switch in the itunes store from the songs table to the table being embedded in the html as an html table. I like the songs table and use the sort features as well as typing in a few letters to jump down the column. When you click on the see all, what exactly loads? Is it a songs table that works as it does in itunes 8 or is it just another table in html, only more results are displayed? Thanks so much and I hope my question makes sense, Christina On Sep 14, 2009, at 9:46 AM, Esther wrote: > > Hi Anna, > > What I usually do myself is VO-Right arrow from "Songs" to the "See > all" link and VO-Space.

Turning off Maiol preview pane
Hello, I visited the archives and believe I followed the instructions correctly, but I can't turn the preview pane on and off. I like to use the preview pane for the most part. However, I like to turn it off when I examine the contents of my junk folder before deleting. This is what I've been trying. I navigate to the horizontal splitter, route the mouse with VO, command F5 and double click the mouse with the num pad commander. I've tried the same sequence with VO, shift, space double click with no results. I had no trouble turning off the preview pane with Leopard. This is not a complaint about SL, just letting you know that I'm capable of doing it. I'd appreciate suggestions and apologize for bringing this up again after it was already discussed not too long ago.

Re: Turning off Maiol preview pane
Hi there I think the problem here is with the VO mouseclick command. It doesn't work here. You have to do a real mouseclick with the mouse button. If you don't have a laptop, this may be a bit harder, but it can be done. Go to universal access, click on the mouse and trackpad tab. Check "press the option key 5 times to turn mousekeys on". I had to click this with the mouse, not sure why, but the second time I checked it it worked with vo space. Then route the mouse to the horizontal splitter in the mail window, and press function+I or function+5 if you imagine an embetted number pad on the laptop. Hmm, I should think that on a desktop this would just be numpad 5. I hope that works.

Re: Message headers and voiceover
um, I don't think the size of the voiceover cursor affects the performance. I am just guessing here but I think it's because the voiceover cursor is displayed in a larger size than what is actually on the screen so when the mouse pointer routs to the larger voiceover cursor the mouse pointer may not actually be pointing or hovering over the exact spot and therefore when clicked it isn't actually clicking on the desired item. I hope that makes sense. :) Christina On Sep 14, 2009, at 11:30 AM, James & Nash wrote: > > Your kidding!

Re: Snow Leopard and Itunes 9
Hi Christina, When you click on the "see all" in the search results for the Store in iTunes 9, the table is still in the HTML area. It's a bit like what you get in iTunes 8 when you run a search from the Power Search menu that you can access from the "Store" menu of the iTunes menu bar (VO- M; press "S"; arrow down and press "S" to get to the "Search" option and press return), or that you can navigate to by using item chooser menu on the iTunes home page or the various music, movie, audiobooks, etc. pages when you look for the "Power Search" link. When you look for results of the search that are in the HTML area -- say, "Albums", and you VO-Right Arrow past that heading category, you'll also find a "see all" link. When you press that link (VO- Space), you get an entire HTML page of album results and no songs table when you stop interacting and VO-Down arrow from the HTML area. There are also links to navigate to the next page if there are too many results to display on a single page. However, what's different is that the album listings are shown in grid view mode instead of list view mode in the HTML area, and since the information about artists etc. is grouped by the grid entry, you can't sort as you can on a table where the data is summarized in columns. In iTunes 9, the table is still in the HTML area. I think it takes somewhat longer to refresh and display in HTML format than it does for a list in plain text, but it's not a terrible difference. I'm guessing that Anna had difficulties previewing the later songs in a long list on the main search results page, because they probably put the song results into a scrolling table to occupy less space, while still displaying the album, music videos, other artist, etc. search results in the HTML area of the search results page -- just as they do in iTunes 8. On the separate HTML page for the songs table that you get when you press the "See All" link you can still sort on the columns. The only thing is, you have to do it the way that sighted users do by clicking with your mouse or trackpad or using VO-Shift-Space or pressing "5" on the numeric keypad with NumPad Commander, on the title of the column. Probably the big thing is that you can't navigate down the columns (e.g. sort by Artist name and VO-Down arrow) -- at least I can't in Leopard. There are actually some nice features in iTunes 9 -- the big thing being that smart playlists have become much more customizable.

Re: Snow Leopard and Itunes 9
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. I imagine I won't be able to hold off on upgrading much longer because itunes 8 has given messages that some features may not be available without upgrading. I really do not want to upgrade at this time though. I don't like too much change at once. I'll wait it out a bit. I do want to get an iphone so I suppose I'll have to update at that time. :) , Christina On Sep 14, 2009, at 12:19 PM, Esther wrote: > > Hi Christina, > > When you click on the "see all" in the search results for the Store in > iTunes 9, the table is still in the HTML area.

PeachPit press and training.
Does anybody know if the PeachPit books used for Apple certifications are available in a Daisy or audible format? I have been thinking about getting some official training, and I saw that Apple uses books from the PeachPit press. A few years ago, I would have just gone out and bought the book and struggled with it page every 1/2 hour. But I don't think I could even accomplish that now.

Re: problems emptying trash
Hello in lepard its command-shift-delete for normal empty trash. and yes secure empty delete does take a long time mainly because it is reallocating the drive space as it goes kind of like emptying the trash and then restarting your computer in windows. Hope i'm right, and hope that helps. good luck, Max On Sep 14, 2009, at 5:40 PM, anouk radix wrote: > > Hi, in windows i can empty my trash rather quickly, in mac os x i can > only find how to secure empty trash which takes HOURS AND HOURS and is > very annoying.

How can I turn that frustrating trackpad of.
Hi. The trackpad is frustrating me, suddenly it starts up in text edit or in nisus writer. I have tried to turn it of under voiceover setting, it helps, but sometimes it turns itself on again. I would like to use the trackpad, but I am in doubt about, what the advantage could be. I do not feel that I can control my keyboard, when the trackpad is turned on. If anybody can help, I would be glad. Best regards Annie. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

problems normal emptying trash
Hello, according to some posts i found on the internet the empty trash option was removed from the finder menu with the introduction of snow leopard. I was assuming the delete key was the key that is backspace on my pcs and windows laptops because voicover calls it delete, am i wrong here because according to that seem forum command-shift-delete should indeed do a normal empty trash.

opening saved game file
Hello, apparently not all file dialogs work the seem, i am in zoom and want to open a games save file. I am in the directory listing and it says games collapsed level zero, but how do i now go in that directory and select the file I want? i can do right arrow and it says x rows added so i think it has opened the directory but if i do down arrow it wont go into it I also cant interact with it to enter it and command down does not work either.I can do vo-right arrow but that folder has about 300 files in it and i cant seem to type letters of the file name to find it, i am curious while this file dialog does not work as the others I have found so far.

kill application command
Hello, A bit disturbingly to me although os x itself has only hung once on me several applications often need to be force quit and restarted before they work again, this is now a bit of a lengty process because you have to go to the appl e menu and then force quit, verification which often cannot be gone to by command-tab so then you have to go to application chooser and then you have to reconfirm and see if you want to report it or not. Is there no immediately command which just lets you quit the application without further questions? i have to force quit applications like vlc safari and zoom several times a day, in general i get a lot of busy and (application) busy messages and when this is going on i get no voicover feedback at all. To me at least things seem a lot more sluggish then they were. Greetings, Anouk --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Snow Leopard and Itunes 9, Buttons in the main window
Hi to the list. I have noticed on one Mac computer running Snow Leopard and Itunes 9, when the Itunes store is selected, pressing VO and right arrow announces buttons such as music, TV shows, and movies. On another identical mac mini with Snow Leopard and Itunes 9, these buttons are missing, completely not there. Is there any apparent reason for the absence of these buttons?

Re: opening saved game file
Hi Mark hitting vo-\ does not seem to do anything, in the keyboard help it gives the right function but when i type it when standing on the games folder nothing happens, i can open it allright with just the right arrow though, but if i want to go through it, or just in it i have to tope vo-right arrow, after that i cant just type in letters to get to a filename but i have found that vo-search does work, i still cant select the desired file though. I also find this stange, in other applications i can open a folder with right arrow and then move within its contents with down arrow, if i then stop interacting with a dialog the file i was standing on is selected, this does not seem to be the case here. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I cant come up with what this would be.

Re: preventing adium from reading message history
Hello, i had problems with adium at first too and dont find it to be that fast now, you can close the contacts window with command-w and then the window you were chatting in will come to the front, you will be in the text field where you can type your message, press vo-left and voicover will say unknown. You have to hit vo-shift-down arrow on this so it will interact with it (its an html scroll area i think) then you have to press vo-right to go to the messages. This is where I have problems with because it is rather irritating to have to scroll through all the messages all the time, I havent found out yet if there is a shortcut to get to the last message.

Re: MacOS RFB&D Downloader
Right I was about to say the same thing. This is great that we have a way to download RFBD books to our macs, but still annoying that we haven't got a way to play them. Do you have any suggestions Greg? This is a really great idea. Justin Harford On Sep 14, 2009, at 10:19 PM, michael A.

Re: Trackpad commander and Zoom. Possible to use both at the same time?
It sure is. The trackpad commander performs just as it would if Zoom were not enabled. When Zoom is enabled and you place a finger on the trackpad, the voiceover cursor moves to the item at that position and Zoom tracks to it. Normally Zoom would primarily follow the mouse cursor. With the trackpad commander, the cursor is generally hidden, and the VO cursor "takes the lead" so to speak. The limitation, and it is to be expected, is that you cannot pan the viewing area to view a different part of the screen without also moving the VO cursor there as well. For that it is easiest to turn the trackpad commander off for a second, glance at what you want to see, and then re-enable it. Note that I generally have the mouse cursor follow the VO cursor, so I can't really comment on the finer details when manipulating them separately using VoiceOver commands. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you want more specifics.
