RE: questions about NVDA
Yeh It's the mbp 2.53 ghz processor model, I'm pgetting it with 4gb ram, as 8gb would have cost another 1200 dollars from apple out of the factory. So I'll just wait a couple of months and get 8 gig in 2 4 gig sticks that should take care of any memory issues with bootcamp or vm fusion if I go that way. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Plummer Sent: Saturday, 12 December 2009 9:22 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: questions about NVDA This is true you will need some vision around to do boot camp.

RE: questions about NVDA
Hi, 4 gb will do just fine with running Windows in boot camp or the other ways. I wouldn't spend the money on the ram, unless you are going to do high end gaming or high end video or audio editing.

Loss of Speech
I don't think my previous messages got through, so I'm trying again. When my battery has reached reserve battery status, I hear the message and then I lose speech. This is a recent event, within the past week. I have about 15% of battery life remaining, and I can restart and I get the same message and lose speech again. I also lost speech this week when doing a sotware update after reaching the dialog box when the update was completed. Any ideas as to what is happening and how this can be resolved? Thanks.

Re: Loss of Speech
Same thing happened to me last night. Thought had my power supply plugged into my MacBook Pro but discovered it was not plugged into power. Used the computer from 0700 to 1900 hours, got alert about reserve power, and Mac went out. Got it back, speech was gone and went out again. Plugged in power supply and discovered I had only 4% charge on battery. Recharged bayyrt and shut Mac down. My, I must say—getting a tad over 12 hours use on the Mac's charge, certainly was astounding to me since I was not supposed to get more than about 5 hours per charge!

Re: It's pointless!
When I discuss which computer to buy to someone, I always point out the good (and bad) in each. I've had lots of people here at the guide dog school inquire about the Mac and how I liked it. I'd then explain what I liked, then would explain that there are good sides to windows machines as well, or even linux machines. By the way, my main reason for quitting the pc was the cost of upgrading Zoomtext to be fully compatible with XP. I knew Zoom at the time couldn't do it all, but was ok with what it did do. I then got to download spoken interface (VoiceOver's predecessor) and I was glad I made the switch. Nice not having to fiddle with AVG every other day as well.

question about external hard drive permissions
Hi listers, I have a question about external hard drives and permissions. As a backup, I would normally copy the folders from my user on the mac, i.e. documents, videos, etc. to the external hard drive. When attempting to transfer my files to another computer, I was told I did not have the permissions to display contents of the folders. I know how to fix this, as you can plug the drive into the original mac, press command I, and change the permissions settings from within that screen. But there's still something I don't understand. If other computers do not have permission to the user folders on the drive, how was I able to access my stuff after performing a clean install of snow leopard? In other words, why didn't I get the error that I had no permissions when trying to reload things onto the newly formatted internal hard drive of my macbook? This puzzles me. Why didn't this error come up with, essentially a new Mac OS, yet it prevents me from moving things to other computers?

Re: question about external hard drive permissions
Hi John, You don't mention what type of hard drive format you're using for the external drive or the the operating systems of the other computers you are using. However, I'll give you what I believe is a piece of the answer, and someone who has more hard drives and computers than I do can probably fill you in on the rest. Under unix and linux operating systems file permissions are set at three levels: user, group, and world. You can add users and create accounts so that users belong to the same group, and you can set some file permissions so that members of the same group have access, while the rest of the world does not. So, other user accounts created on the same computer might have access privileges to the hard drive that an account from another computer might not. Furthermore, usually only the owner of a file or directory (or someone with Administrator privileges who logs in as a superuser) can change the permissions on a file. I don't know how you log into your account on the Mac or on the other computer. You could be using your Mac from a regular user account or, more likely, an account with Administrator privileges. When you log into the other computer, which might have a different operating system, you may or may not have access as a superuser. But, in any case, since those files weren't created under the second system, their protection would not generally automatically be set to let them be read by "the outside world". I should add that since I'm the only user of my Mac laptop, I've done limited exploration of changing account permissions from the default categories available through the GUI. I'd have to experiment from command-line arguments in Terminal, and do things the way they would work on other unix and linux systems. However, there's not enough information in your originally posted question to give a detailed answer, since we don't know about the operating system, your original external drive format, and your account access status on the two machines, just as a starter.

Re: questions about NVDA
And I, as I am completely sure are others, getting absolutely sick and tired of FS wasting ours and government dollars with a product that is overpriced so they can engage in such dishonest behavior, buying up patents on every stupid characteristic so they can plant them as land mines and then trying to monopolize the market by trying to put everyone else out of business with their dishonest bool shit through the court system and trying to cause them to have to spend tmore than they have and put them under. This is criminal, not at all good for our industry, and with this kind of behavior we would all be better off without Freedom scientific's existance.

Downloaded Zip Files
Good evening everyone: I have a question. What do I do with a zip file I download which contains MP3 files I would like to transfer via the card reader to my SD card and then play in my Victor Stream. I am very familiar with this process using windows, so if anyone could compare the process to this, it would be quite helpful. Do I have to unzip it first? I downloaded some zipped MP3 music and I did really nothing and can now play it in Itunes, but I really want to put the MP3 files on an SD card.

Re: question about external hard drive permissions
Hi Esther, I am writing to give you more details. The drive I am using is in Mac OS extended journaled format. The two computers in question are my macbook, and an older desktop running the latest Ubuntu release. I know windows cannot read this type of drive at all, but Ubuntu can read it just fine. Note that I do not want to write anything to the drive from Ubuntu, and this is not possible anyway. But I do want to be able to read all the files, as I have some videos I want to share between both machines. Also, I want to be assured that, if my mac ever goes down, I won't be locked out of my drive. The fact that, in ubuntu, the files show up as not accessible is troublesome, though I guess to be completely fair I should try my drive on another mac. Ubuntu and mac handle the administrator account somewhat differently from what I understand. Is this correct?
