RE: France now has an Apple Store
Anne I'm jealous that you have acquired an Apple Store in France. We don't have one here, so the only way one can be sure of getting the latest equipment is online. I happened to be in a retailer on Saturday, and discovered that they were selling old iMac 20 and 24" at more or less the same prices as the new machines. So for anyone based either in Ireland or the UK, be very very careful when purchasing from the likes of PC world, as you may not be getting the latest Apple products.

I understand you should be expecting a second store in Paris to open shortly. Anouk, there are problems in finding good store locations, so the number of Apple Stores across Europe is still limited. For example, it isn't that long ago that the first Apple Store for Germany opened in Munich, and I think that is still the only store for that country. It's really nice to be able to go into one of these stores to try out the products. It doesn't hurt, either, that if you want to look up some information on the web, you can simply go over to one of the computers, turn on VoiceOver, and run your query.

Re: I've done it.
Hi The home/end keys on the Mac have different functions than they do on Windows. To move to the beginning or end of a line on the Mac, use command+left arrow and command+right arrow respectively.

Re: sony sued by visually impaired gamer
An advocacy group that I'd never heard of filed suits against Southwest and American Airlines for having inaccessible web sites. American settled and said they would fix their site (I haven't checked it) but Southwest went to court and, on the grounds that a web site is not an actual "place" of public accommodation, it prevailed. Southwest did promise to make its site accessible though because they decided it was the "right thing to do." I'm sure you can google using a bunch of related terms and find articles from back then (it was quite a while ago). I would do the search for you but I'm slammed with a really long (20,000 word) document that I need to complete editing by tomorrow and I'm only about half done. If you find any good stuff, you might repost the links to the list for others who may be interested.

Re: sony sued by visually impaired gamer
Sarcasm: We cannot change our money in any way because American legal tender is a religious totem which we admire and praise. We went so far as putting the Lord followed by most of our founding father's name on the money. We love the notion that, "In God we trust, all others pay cash." Any change to our currency means a defamation of the totem which is unacceptable in a land where we worship the almighty dollar. Look at history: in the past, the most beautiful and majestic structures were built to celebrate supreme beings. Whether the pantheon of Hindu gods in India, the beautiful mosques in North Africa and the Middle East and the breath taking cathedrals of Europe, not to mention the Egyptian pyramids, Greek and Roman temples and so on On. Today, our most incredible buildings celebrate banks, corporations and other icons of capitalism and trade. In a sense, we have traded in the old gods for new money. cdh Nov 9, 2009, at 1:14 AM, Kevin Gibbs wrote: > > What was unsensable about making paper money accessible.

RE: I've done it.
Good advice here, what other uses can be had with keyboard commander? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ryan Mann Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 7:07 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: I've done it. Hello. If you have Keyboard commander turned on in Voiceover Preferences, you can check the time by hitting the right option key and the letter T together. To enable Keyboard commander do the following: 1. Hit control+option+f8 to open VoiceOver utility. 2. Interact with the categories table and navigate down to the commanders category. 3. Stop interacting with the Categories table and vo+rightarrow a couple times and you should hear the keypad and keyboard tabs. On the Keyboard tab, hit vo+space to select the keyboard tab. 4. Vo+rightarrow again and you should hear a checkbox to enable keyboard commander. Check that box with vo+space. You should also tell VoiceOver to allow itself to be controled by Applescript. I think you can find in the general category in VoiceOver utility. On Nov 8, 2009, at 5:50 PM, Daniel Rowe wrote: > > Hi all. > > Yes, I bought an imac last friday.

Any change to our currency means a defamation of the totem which is unacceptable in a land where we worship the almighty dollar.

Staying in a menu when you have selected something in that menu - can this be done?
Hi everyone Let's say that I am in the View menu of an application, and I want to change or select a number of options in that menu. Is there a way to do all of this without having to constantly return to that particular menu please? I have noticed that this is possible under Linux with Orca, and wondered if this was possible with Voice Over as this is a really nice feature. If this is not possible, I will happily E-Mail Apple and ask them if they can include it.

Re: Voice Over intermittently restarting in Safari
Hi May, Thanks for the confirmation. I'm just sending this from here as I'm just updating my Mac with the 10.6.2 update. I wonder why VO does this? Perhaps it will be fixed now or perhaps Mozilla will soon release a VO friendly FireFox so that we can have the choice and use that wonderful Webvisum plugin and see if VO reacts the same way as it does on Safari with the restarts.

Re: Spaces and Mac OS X 10.6.2
Hi Scott, > Don't count on it, but please keep hammering the folks at > accessibil...@apple.com > . Eventually we'll get some action. :) I have been doing this smile for a long time sigh. I am not sure that they are that interested or that they even agree with my assertion. I have explained to them how I believe it should work, if I explain it here again, I would like to know if you agree with me. So... Spaces provides virtual desktops, and as such, when you switch from one desktop to another, the Cmd Tab command which cycles through applications, should, if Spaces is on only cycle through the applications on the current desktop. Instead, Cmd Tab defaults to its normal behaviour which for me completely breaks the concept of multiple desktops. I am told that there are work arounds, but they should not be necessary. Spaces has been with us since Leopard, so Apple have had a long time to take our comments on board and fix it. As yet, they've not done this, but perhaps they might do in the future.

Importing podcasts into ITunes
Hi everyone I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't figure this out. I have scoured the internet and thought I'd found a solution, but apparently not. I am trying to import some podcasts in an OPML file and from my searches, I have found that ITunes can do this. However, when I tried to import it as a playlist as was suggested on one of the Mac forums, it does not appear in the podcast listing or in any other list. Have I done something wrong?

Decent Torrent Client?
Remember guies, regretfully I'm a po little dude. LOL! I only have the growling Tiger. NOt cool, I know, it sucks, but what can I do being I can't afford a Mac. Anyway, does anyone know a torrent client that'll run on Tiger, or, at least, that most likely? will run? Just installed Twitterrific, and I gotta say: I, frickin, love it! I would have installed Sirynx, but, I don't think it's compatible with anything below 10.5. BTW: Speaking a which, I tried to put Twitter Pod on this thing, but every time I hit command+O on it from my applications folder in the finder, it just sits there and does nothing. I don't see it in my VO+F1 list, and it's not another opened window in the finder either with VO+F2. When I hit VO+F2 once, it says Finder, so I know it's not opened. And, vo+D won't help matters. It's not in the Doc either. Chris. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi Kaare, > For those canadians who use the cnib's visunet services, I notice this > just after login, and it is intermitant. I cannot tell you if this has been fixed in the latest update (10.6.2), but it has at least for the moment stopped misbehaving in Safari. Perhaps updating will help you if you have not already done so.

Re: Spaces and Mac OS X 10.6.2
You are absolutely correct and that is how many of us have explained it to Apple. Apparently even sighted users have wanted this fix as well. I don't know if Apple just feels this isn't something they are really that interested in after all or what. Maybe they don't feel Spaces is quite that important based on the fact maybe not many users use it? I really don't know, but we'll just keep after them. I personally see a lot of uses for it myself.

is the busy, ready, busy, ready, bug gone?
Hi listers, I have just installed the latest mac update on my system. One thing I have noticed immediately is that safari seems much more stable. I have not been getting the safari busy nonsense as I navigate through web pages. Can anybody else confirm that this bug has been squashed? Or have other users still experienced it with 10.6.2? Interestingly, safari does seem to load a bit slower on this version, but it is still quite quick.

Re: Importing podcasts into ITunes
Hi James, Try using Command-O (shortcut for "Add to Library" under the iTunes File Menu), and then selecting your OPML file in the resulting dialog window. iTunes 9 has removed some options in the File menu -- I assume in attempts to simplify things since most people seemed to be confused about the distinction between "importing" and "adding to library". There is now no shortcut for "import" (used to be Command-Shift-O), and the only importing option is to import as a playlist. Also, another question: when you tried importing your OPML file as a playlist, did it have a file type extension of .opml? You realize that the OPML file only provides the information about where podcasts are on the feed, so it's a good way to transfer over your podcast subscriptions. It's not a good way to transfer over the actual podcasts, if you have are trying to get the actual episodes transferred, and these are no longer up on the podcast feeds. For example, many of the BBC podcasts only keep the last week's episode available on the feed. So exporting an OPML file from iTunes on one machine and importing it to iTunes on another machine is a good way to transfer podcast subscriptions. It isn't a good way to transfer the podcasts themselves, except for the ability to pull down whatever podcasts are still on those feeds once the new feeds are identified to iTunes. If I wanted to move over the many weeks of podcast episodes from BBC Radio 4's "In Out Time with Melvyn Bragg" I'd have to add them to the new iTunes library. Importing an OPML file would let me start subscribing to the same podcast sites on a new computer, but wouldn't help me at all to get episodes that are no longer available at the podcast feeds -- at best I will only get the latest episode of "In Out Time". If you want the actual episodes, select all podcasts in your (old) iTunes library and add them to your (new) iTunes library. They will show up in the correct locations under Podcasts. But you'd still have to turn on your subscriptions. HTH Cheers, Esther James & Nash wrote: > >Hi everyone > >I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't figure this out.

Re: Time capsule configuration
Hi Frank, time capsules, or any airport base station for that matter, are configured through the airport utility application, which you'll find in /applications/utilities. Hope this helps.

about the 10.6.2 update
Hi List, I've just dled the update manually to deploy over all my macs, and found something interesting to note, for those who want detail on what has been updated. I use x-slimer to reduce filesizes and rid myself of non64 bit code. It saves me about 2 GB of space in all, which is an even smaller footprint, and faster at loading apps. If you want to know what has been changed, just reopen xslim, and you will see those who had code added in the drop list. The boot camp assistant has had an overhaul, meaning that perhaps the boot.efi has changed, for the better of previously non 64 bit kext drivers on older macs. All this is quite good, as apple allows one to check his system if he wants to, and its pretty straight forward.

a brief word of introduction
Hi, To come directly to the point, my name is Ray. Perhaps some of y'all may have seen me on other lists. Anyhow, I'm thinking that I'm going to get a Mac very soon; perhaps by March or April or something. I've been studying Mike's podcasts on: www.blindcooltech.com and have learned a lot from them. Part of my new consideration for the Mac has to do with the unethical practices of Freedom Scientific; but, I will not bore y'all with that here. Let's just say this. While I have nothing against GW Micro, the Mac seems to me to be the more flexible option. I'll be working mainly with noise reduction, such as click and pop suppression. I'm stsill deciding just what Audio software I'll be using. Maybe Pro Tools with the Wave Restoration bundle; but, not yet sure. Any advice? Thanks.
