Help! - can no longer empty my trash!
Hi there. I've got quite many objects in my trash that i want to get rid of, amongst those old time machine objects and such. The reason why i want to erase all this is to start doing backups with another application namely Carbon copy cloner. Problem is, when i try emptying the trash, a dialog pops up informing me that the task couldn't be completed because an unexpected error occurred and then an error code -8003. What's going on here and what can i do about it? /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

There was a discussion thread about this where apparently manually trashing time machine backup files causes this error: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2138034&tstart=30 seems like several folks had success using Trashit http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8214 to resolve the issue.

Re: finding the next text in Safari
Hi Matt, I was really looking forward to auto web spots as a sort of quick and dirty way of having the best of group nav but still being in dom mode, if that makes any sense. I've found, however, that the auto web spots on the pages I've tried are really not helpful. Must be just the sites I visit, mostly news sites like my local paper or others with compilations of articles. Of course, one can set web spots, like place markers on the Windows side of things. That's one I never got in to in Windows and haven't as yet on the Mac either. Mary-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: finding the next text i Safari
Hi Mary, I saw it in the manual. Although the keyboard help feature is nice, not all the keys appear to be listed. Do you read braille? If so, you can get a VO Users Manual in braille from Lighthouse International in San Francisco. You likely saw this, but VO Comand_N may actually work better for what you want. Those who mentioned VO J will only go from link to link with that command. I know exactly what you're looking for, as I use that feature all of the time with Jaws and Window-Eyes! Anyway, I'll try either VO Command P or N now and see which works better overall. Les-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

wild idea?
Hi folks, When I bought my Mac mini recently, I purchased a bluetooth keyboard with it, because it was the best keyboard they had in the store, in terms of the over all feel etc. Its nice not being tied to a desk, but it would be really cool if it would be possible to take this keyboard into another room and control the Mac from there. Clearly, this would require the ability to listen to the vo output through a set of speakers or, better, through an existing stereo. Does anybody know of some sort of device that one could connect to the computer that will "broadcast" the output from the sound card, so to speak, perhaps a bluetooth or rf device whose receiver plugs into the line in on your stereo? I have no clue if there would be a market for such a thing, especially since there is Itunes with the Ipod as remote. But that doesn't let you control the Mac, just Itunes.

Wireless headphones are available at BestBuy etc. for a pretty little money. Your keyboard, though, only has about 30 feet of range and I'm uncertain about Blue Tooth boosters.

Hi Chris, Yes, I know about wireless headphones. I worked using headphones for 8 hours a day for 30 years, so I try to avoid them when possible.

For about $300 you could go with this which starts with a 1km antenna but you can get optional antennas for up to 30km range. http://www.aircable.net/industrial-male.html Of course you might have to do a little dev work to get it set up since it's not a turnkey system.

Safari has a key stroke that's supposed to highlight all items that aren't links. It is option-tab. I've never seen it work right though. I don't know if it is because of Safari, or Voiceover.

Re: wild idea?
Well you certainly could use a bluetooth headset, which would work reasonably well if your not to far from the source. You also could for about $100 purchase an AirPort Express and purchase a program such as Airfoil from Rogue Omeeba and stream audio to a stereo etc. wirelessly. Now it has been a while since I tried this, but I'm pretty certain it worked, but I haven't the express any longer since I sent it to a friend. There are other low-tech solutions like running a cable from the Mac to a receiver or whatever source you can plug into. So, hopefully that provides you some ideas.

Re: Problem with Authentication
This is correct. You can break into any mac and resent passwords simply by booting off the installer DVD. That said, I'm not as clear on what happens when you either have FileVault or an encrypted disk image in use. In the end there is always a security - usability tradeoff.

Re: wild idea?
Hi Mary, well it looks like peeps have already suggested the bluetooth headset idea, but have you considered a simple FM transmitter? You can find very low-cost transmitters that should have no trouble transmitting from room to room, so you could send all your sound from your mini to a stereo. HTH and have a terrific day!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Jan 5, 2010, at 11:03 AM, Mary Otten wrote: Hi folks, When I bought my Mac mini recently, I purchased a bluetooth keyboard with it, because it was the best keyboard they had in the store, in terms of the over all feel etc. Its nice not being tied to a desk, but it would be really cool if it would be possible to take this keyboard into another room and control the Mac from there. Clearly, this would require the ability to listen to the vo output through a set of speakers or, better, through an existing stereo. Does anybody know of some sort of device that one could connect to the computer that will "broadcast" the output from the sound card, so to speak, perhaps a bluetooth or rf device whose receiver plugs into the line in on your stereo? I have no clue if there would be a market for such a thing, especially since there is Itunes with the Ipod as remote. But that doesn't let you control the Mac, just Itunes.

Re: wild idea?
Thanks for all the ideas. I think airfoil looks interesting, although its not the cheapest way to go. Oddly enough, my stereo has no fm tuner, the old one I had having broken, and commercial programming being so devoid of meaningful content that I never replaced it. So I suppose the transmitter idea won't work I had one of those little transmitters several years ago, and it was pretty cool. But of course, then, there weren't bluetooth keyboards, so you couldn't control the source of the audio remotely.

Re: another facebook question - Farmville?
LOL Well, I totally get what you're saying. When my sister-in-law first tried to talk me into playing, I was like "whatever for!?" But I have to confess that it's kind of intriguing me now that I've been playing around with it. It probably helps to have friends who are playing. Anyway, I wrote to Zynga and asked them to look into it, so if there are any other frustrated Wanna-be FarmVille players out there, you might want to write them too. I figure the more of us who ask, the more likely they'll do something.

Re: Tab key, (was keyboard focus when using the web rotor
I use the item chooser a whole lot. I also use vo/left and right arrows and vo/a to read text. It works very nicely for me.

Re: Save attachments from Mail messages as a service
I have an example for this, though it is for moving files to folders, but when you get into automator you can change the paremeters to make it a mail attachement to folder. If i have the time i will translate it, but i'll paste the french version here: Bonjour à tous VoiceOver est un merveilleux outil qui nous permet d'avoir accès à la technologie mac. Toutefois cet outil aussi bien soit-il ne nous permet pas d'effectuer certaines tâches. En première ligne viennent les tâches que l'on peut exécuter uniquement avec la souris. La plus utile étant le couper/coller. Cette dernière appellation est familière aux utilisateurs de Windows sur Mac OS on parle plutôt de Glisser/déposer. Quel que soit le nom le but est le même : Déplacer un fichier ou un dossier d'un emplacement vers un autre. Jusque là avec VoiceOver la seule possibilité était de faire un copier/coller et de supprimer le fichier ou le dossier d'origine. Mais en réalité il existe une possibilité qui est un peu difficile à mettre en place. Mais une fois en place cette fonction est vraiment appréciable. Pour effectuer cette mise en place nous allons utiliser l'application Automator. Cette application permet de créer des processus ou des mini applications. Pour mettre en place cette fonction suivez attentivement les étapes suivante : 1 Ouvrez l'application automator qui se trouve dans votre dossier "Application". 2 Dans la fenêtre qui s'affiche il vous faut choisir un modèle. Dans la liste choisissez "Service" puis cliquez sur "Choisir". 3 Naviguer à droite jusqu'à "actions description split view diviser groupe" et interagir avec. Il est possible que VoiceOver soit plus lent Automator peut être occupé il faut être un peu patient. 4 On trouve alors un diviseur horizontal et un objet appelé "actions library split view diviser groupe" il faut interagir avec ce dernier. 5 Il y a alors deux tableaux avec un diviseur vertical. Sur le premier tableau interagissez et naviguez jusqu'à "Fichiers et Dossiers" arrêtez l'interaction allez au deuxième tableau et choisissez "Déplacer les éléments du Finder" et appuyez sur entrer, ce qui ajoute l'action au processus. 6 Normalement tous les niveaux d'interaction s'arrêtent mais si ce n'est pas le cas faites le il y en a normalement trois. 7 Naviguez à gauche jusqu'à "processus 1 élément sélectionné. Déplacer les éléments du Finder Action" et interagir avec. 8 Vous trouvez alors deux objets le premier est "texte en ordre Réceptions du service sélectionnées N’importe quelle application Remplace le texte sélectionné groupe" Interagissez avec ce groupe. 9 Pour le premier menu local étiqueté "Réceptions du service sélectionnées" choisissez : "Fichiers ou dossiers" (Attention le premier est juste un titre de catégorie c'est pourquoi il est estompé le deuxième est bon). Dans le deuxième menu local étiqueté "en ordre" choisissez "Finder". 10 Arrêtez l'interaction avec le groupe et naviguez à droite jusqu'à "Déplacer les éléments du Finder Action" et interagissez avec. 11 Naviguez à droite jusqu'à la case à cocher "Option" et cochez la. 12 continuez à naviguer à droite jusqu'à la case à cocher "Afficher cette action si le processus est exécuté" et cochez la. 13 (facultatif) Quand vous exécuterez l'action déplacer une boîte de dialogue apparaîtra où vous choisirez le dossier de destination. vous pouvez choisir un dossier par défaut à afficher dans le menu local étiqueté "A". Ce menu contient les dossiers natifs courants de Mac OS à savoir Bureau, dossier de départ, applications, documents… Pour en choisir un autre et bien sélectionnez autre. 14 Et voilà tout est prêt il ne reste plus qu'à enregistrer avec Commande S. Donnez un nom à ce service par exemple "Déplacer" et cliquez sur "enregistrer". 15 enfin fermer Automator. Pour utiliser ce service sélectionnez un fichier ou un dossier dans le Finder et soit ouvrez le menu contextuel où vous trouverez en bas "Déplacer" ou un autre nom si vous avez appelé autrement votre service, soit allez dans le menu Finder puis dans Services ou vous trouverez "Déplacer" ou autre nom… Ceci ouvre une petite boîte de dialogue ou vous pouvez choisir le dossier de destination dans un menu local, si celui que vous désirez ne se trouve pas dans la liste choisissez "Autre…" (pour définir un dossier par défaut dans la liste reportez-vous au point 13). Il y a aussi une case à cocher nommée "Remplacer les fichiers existants" cochez la si le dossier de destination contient déjà un fichier ou un dossier nommé comme celui que vous voulez déplacer. Enfin cliquez sur "Continuer". Et voilà le tour est joué. Remarque : Si vous ouvrez le menu contextuel cela se fait avec VO maj M et il faut être en interaction avec la fenêtre Finder pour que le menu soit bien celui en rapport avec l'élément sélectionné. Petit bonus : Vous pouvez associer un raccourci clavier à ce service. Pour cela : 1 allez dans préférences système puis dans "Clavier" puis dans l'ong
Re: Appending text to clipboard
Hi, On Dec 28, 2009, VaShaun Jones wrote: Listers often times I find myself needing to append text to the clipboard and would really benefit from this feature. Does anyone know of a way to do it on the Mac or do you know of a third party who has developed such application? QuickSilver, the application that Yvonne described in her blog at: http://yvonnezed.posterous.com/ supports this capability, but as I believe she mentioned in her posts, you may not be able to get all of this working in Snow Leopard. What I've been using instead of the clipboard with some of the same functionality that you want is a free software application called JustNotes (in its beta release) that synchronizes notes with an iPhone/ iPod Touch app called Simplenote ($1.99). This also automatically puts the notes up on my iPod Touch within the Simplenote app, and lets me access current, updated versions of the notes through the free Simplenote secure web interface. This is also a great way of getting content up to my iPod Touch (if I want to cut and paste in any of the text I loaded up as notes). (As an aside, the Simplenote app also lets me use another iPhone app called TextExpander (normally $4.99, but currently $1.99). This app lets me customize "snippets" that minimize my typing, and that can automatically expand to the currently formatted date, etc.). You can read more about Simplenote and JustNotes in this TUAW article about Simplenote that gives links to these and other apps: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/21/elegant-simplicity-the-power-of-simplenote-for-iphone/ ("Elegant simplicity: the power of SimpleNote for iPhone" by Steven Sande, Dec 21st 2009) Note: I installed JustNotes because I already had Simplenote. If you install JustNotes first and later decide to get Simplenote I'm not sure whether the automatic synchronization will work correctly without some fiddling. Simplenote gives you free access to a Simplenote secure web account that lets you sync notes in the web account immediately with your notes on the iPhone/iPod Touch. JustNotes has you enter this when your set it up, since the application for the Mac desktop was inspired by the way that Simplenote works with the web account. The small, floating JustNotes window currently shows up in the window chooser menu for Finder (VO-F2 twice) as "untitled". If you're using DropBox, this means that you might see two windows labelled "untitled". • Simplenote ($1.99) by Codality: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simplenote/id289429962?mt=8 • JustNotes (for the Mac, free and in beta) by SelfCoded: http://selfcoded.com/justnotes/ Check the TUAW article for other links.
