Re: safari busy, busy, busy
You report a bug to Apple by contacting: accessibil...@apple.com By the way, my 2007 MacBook has only 2 gb of memory and I hardly ever get Safari Busy. I usually run about 6 or 7 apps at once, however I don't have Windows on my machine at all.

Re: safari busy, busy, busy
Hi, You're assuming that it is a VoiceOver bug in the first place. It doesn't have to be. And if you can't tell Apple how to reproduce the issue, there's not much point telling them about it as they have no leads to go on. Saying that Safari goes busy like crazy is all good, but if they don't know what causes it in your case, they can't fix it. That includes letting them know exactly what hardware you have like processors, RAM, etc. Of course, don't forget to let them know your operating system. You're not necessarily running the latest one, especially if you haven't updated yet. Also, it'd be even more useful if you are able to isolate the elements which actually causes your Safari to become busy, and put it into a web archive. It's also important to note that accessibil...@apple.com is only for VoiceOver bugs or anything to do with actual accessibility. These bugs aren't necessarily VoiceOver related at all. The above e-mail address is if you have either comments or suggestions to accessibility to Apple products. Another good idea is to actually visit the Apple Discussions Forums at http://www.discussions.apple.com for some neat feedback. There is even an Accessibility section so other users can comment before it's actually classified as a bug.

Re: safari busy
I wonder if all the busy situations are due to Flash being used? Apparently, Steve Jobbs - at least I think it was him, said that the majority of crashes etc are due to Flash.

Re: Current audio formats have a maximum number of samples [was Re: iTunes and lengthy audio files]
Hi, So you're saying the bottom line is that it has to be within the 2GB limit? It's only a 232MB MP3 file, so to me, that should still be usable. Also, I've received files like this before with no issues of CD-quality and 44.1KHZ sample rate. Or maybe I'm just being dense. *smiles* Regards, Nic Slau Halatyn wrote: > One thing to consider regarding file formats is the bit depth. In the case of > a CD-quality file, it's 16 bits.

For multitrack recording and editing I would recommend more towards amadeus pro rather than gb, it's much simpler.

Re: assisted gps on the 3g ipad
Hi, Actually assisted GPS is where you can download the GPS almanac every 7 to 10 days. The almanac tells the GPS receiver where in the sky to look for the satellites. It gives you faster acquisition time. If you do not download the almanac with the computer and transmit it to the receiver you will only lose the super fast time to first fix. Most of the new receivers can get a fix in 35 seconds and this is without using their agps data. The i-blue 737A+ is an example of a receiver that uses agps.

Re: Current audio formats have a maximum number of samples [was Re: iTunes and lengthy audio files]
The file size limit is a function of the operating system rather than any audio program. I'm not sure why your mp3 has an issue. One more little thing perhaps worth mention for some, CD quality refers to both bit depth and sample rate. Some people see the 44.1 kHz and think that it's CD quality even though it's mp3 and that's far from 16-bit/44.1 kHz.

Basically none of the music programs, including QuickTime, can correctly handle sound files where the number of samples exceeds 2 billion (or, to be precise, the maximum number that can be represented with a 32-bit unsigned integer, or 2 raised to the exponent of 31, which is about 2.1478 billion samples). One of the numbers in the file header for the audio file is a counter that turns over when you exceed this maximum. This means that the actual maximum file length (in time) that can be correctly read from these audio files depends on the quality of the file encoding. CD quality music files sample the music at 44.1 kHz (44.1 thousand samples per second). Voice memo files might sample at 8 kHz (8 thousand samples per second) -- a rate that is more than 5 times smaller. The total number of samples is the encoding sample rate (e.g. 44.1 kHz for a CD) multiplied by the time of your audio file in seconds. This number hits the 2 billion maximum for a file length of 13.5 hours, assuming this is stereo music. This is an absolute maximum that the file structure can correctly represent -- you can still run into problems before this. When music programs like QuickTime or any comparable programs on any platform (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.) read these files, they all compute the time from the number of samples, and they all get incorrect answers when the counter is exceeded. That's why you're able to play the files with QuickLook, which just starts streaming without trying to read the time. The exact wrong number depends on the rollover value of the counter. Moreover, if you think back to recent posts by James looking for the intro and other music files that the Mac plays on startup, you'll notice that the file extensions are .caf instead of .aiff (Audio Interchange File Format). The new format is "Core Audio File Format", and one of the reason
apple trap: removing programs and all the related components
Hello all, I have a question about removing programs: I have deleted programs with the program apple trap. The program, this is a plugin for the system prefferences, was active and I simply putted the programs in the trash. Perhaps I have done something wrong while removing microsoft office with apptrap? I think, all files are selected by default to remove? I have now removed all the items in the trash and the elements of microsoft office (for the mac), are still on the dock. Is this normal? best regards, William -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: apple trap: removing programs and all the related components
Hello Jes, I have successfully removed the shortcuts/icons from the doc, so far so good. I have not really a problem with this icons on the doc but, I only want to take care about my actual install of mac osx and for that , I want to be shore that: removing programs by moving them to the trash , is a good , save and efficient way of removing programs. Also, I want to know if apple trap is sufficient and enough to keep my computer clean without parts of programs on my system after removing them. On windows, after installing and uninstalling alot of programs , the system becomes slow and inefficiënt because of some parts of the programs in shared components, rules in the registry , inactive shortcuts... Because of this , you need sometimes to re-install your windows to delete all that rubish. So, I want to know if mac is doing better and if apple trap is enough to do this task. best regards, William Op 14-mrt-2010, om 18:22 heeft Jess het volgende geschreven: > I have now removed all the items in the trash and the elements of microsoft > office (for the mac), are still on the dock.

When you uninstall an application in the usual way, by moving it to the trash, you might have to remove the application's preferences files, but that's basically it. I might give Apple Trap a look.

Re: apple trap: removing programs and all the related components
Hi William, 99% of the time, sending applications to the Trash is exactly the right way to go about removing them. There are sometimes support files and application preferences floating around, and if you know where to look to get rid of them then feel free. But leaving them on the system isn't going to do any harm. The other 1% of the time, you may need to run an uninstaller. But the vast majority of applications do not use one. In fact, I'm not sure why certain apps do. Perhaps they are just too big to be contained in a disk image. You should also remember , that because Mac OS X is based upon UNIX, there is no Registry to worry about. You won't find pesky bits of redundant application related stuff all over your system.

RE: assisted gps on the 3g ipad
Wow. That's great. I was repeatedly told by others that AGPS required the cell network. However, a quick look at Wikipedia looks like this isn't always the case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS Apparently, some AGPS units work as you say, but some seem to always require a connection to the assistance server, or they won't operate. Not sure how you can tell which type of AGPS you're using.

The almanac tells the GPS receiver where in the sky to look for the satellites. It gives you faster acquisition time. If you do not download the almanac with the computer and transmit it to the receiver you will only lose the super fast time to first fix. Most of the new receivers can get a fix in 35 seconds and this is without using their agps data. The i-blue 737A+ is an example of a receiver that uses agps.

RE: safari busy, busy, busy
That's true as long as you're only running desktop apps. If you're using virtual machines, for example, 8GB will be better. A Windows 7 VM needs 3GB of memory to run with maximum performance, for example, and, with 4GB, that wouldn't leave you much for OSX. You can always run your virtual machines with less memory, and start fewer apps in them, but you'll hurt performance. 8GB is only about $350 right now in the US. It isn't that serious of a purchase if you do serious computing.

I think the clock can select between all your loaded tones as can the incoming call ring tone selector. apart from that the new sms or text message sound can select from about 6 the new mail, sent mail and voicemail can only be turned on and off. if the set sounds were loud it would be ok but most you would not hear if you were in the city with traffic noise all round and you were not waring headphones. I think some of these designers never leave their high rise air conditioned office blocks. has anyone else noticed how limited the sound settings were. I'm cc'ing this to the macvisionaries list, since this may be of general interest. If you have Growl running for notifications on your PC, you might try the Prowl app ($2.99). I've only played with this a little, because I don't need these functions myself (I have a MobileMe account that updates mail notifications with push, and the regular volume settings work fine for me on my iPod Touch). Growl is a global notification system for the Mac OS X and Windows. For the large number of applications that support Growl, you can get notifications when tasks are done. For example, if you are downloading a series of files, you might want to have the download program send you a notification when it's done, which you could assign to a particular sound. Similarly, you can install a GrowlMail plugin (on the Mac) that sends a Growl notification whenever a new mail message comes in. What might be of interest to you and other iPhone/iPod Touch users is that the Prowl app, which is a Growl client for the iPhone, can be set to play different and louder sounds than the default settings for mail on the iPhone, and also give you "push" notifications when new mail arrives on your computer. Here's a quote from a user comment posted on the iPhone Apps Plus page that reviewed Prowl: "I love this application, have configured it to send me notification from Apple Mail using Growl plugin so that i can get push notification and LOUDER mail sound (why Apple hasn't added sound customization for mail is beyond me)." Google "Growl" or "Growl for Windows" (in your case) to read about the Growl and to get the most recent download. Growl is free (donationware), but does require some setting up. You may already have it on your system, since a number of apps will come with the ability to install Growl. Prowl basically just displays the notifications that are sent from Growl. You need to create a free account, which you can do from the "Register" link on the Prowl web page even before you purchase the app. When you launch the app the first time, you'll be in the text box for your login username and there is a second text box for your password. There are also buttons for "Register" and "Log in", but I had to read through the setup on the Prowl web page, anyway, so it was easier to set up the account there. There is a "Settings" button in the upper left of the main screen that lets choose the sounds you want to use. By default, sounds will be turned on while Growl is open, and Quiet Hours (times when you don't want to allow any Growl notifications) are turned off. Exit the "Settings" menu by double tapping the "History" button in the upper left, that will take you to the main Prowl screen with a list of your (historical) notifications which you can "Edit" (button in the upper right) to delete, etc. If you are using the Prowl web page to follow the installation and setup instructions, and have logged in through the "Register" link, there will be an "Add Notification" link to a page where you can try typing and sending a notification. That notification should show up on your iPhone through the Prowl app when you press the "Add Notification" button to send off the text. This should allow you to test out your settings. I haven't done much with this app, but you might check this out. You need to have either Growl or Snarl running on Windows, and I assume there will be a setup for mail notifications similar to the Mac plugin since this was an obvious early use for Growl. Setup has a number of options, and there are probably a lot of people who know more about using/configuring Growl than I do to ask for help.

Re: safari busy, busy, busy
I've considered upgrading ram on this 2009 Macbook Pro, but I'm not in any hurry. So far, I'm fairly impressed with it's performance with only 2 gigs of ram. Of course, I haven't tried running windows on it yet. If I decide to go that route, I read more ram certainly is a huge benefit.

I don't seem to be experiencing this on my new Mac Book. It's not a pro, couldn't quite afford one of those, but it only has two gigs of ram.

Re: safari busy, busy, busy
But I think ZI'd have to have a Mac Book Pro in order to have 8 gigs of ram. Half the reason I wanted to get into the Mac world was that OSX is supposed to use memory more efficiently. - Original Message - From: "Bryan Smart" To: Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2010 2:17 PM Subject: RE: safari busy, busy, busy That's true as long as you're only running desktop apps. If you're using virtual machines, for example, 8GB will be better. A Windows 7 VM needs 3GB of memory to run with maximum performance, for example, and, with 4GB, that wouldn't leave you much for OSX. You can always run your virtual machines with less memory, and start fewer apps in them, but you'll hurt performance. 8GB is only about $350 right now in the US. It isn't that serious of a purchase if you do serious computing.

Re: voice over reset itself yesterday. How?
Hi Sarah, This sounds like the same problem that Daniel reported last month, and that Carlene may have seen a bit earlier. Do you have a copy of you old VoiceOver preference files? We're not sure why this is happening in these instances, but either as a source or result of the problem you .plist files are getting overwritten or the system thinks they are corrupted and is generating new ones. (Corrupted preference files are the second most common general problem, but way down in frequency after having to repair permissions with Disk Utility). I generally save copies of the most frequently used plist files somewhere easily accessed on my home directory. The ones you are likely to want for VoiceOver are: com.apple.universalaccess.plist com.apple.VoiceOver.plist com.apple.VoiceOver.pronunciations.plist Here's the start of Daniel's thread on VoiceOver resetting itself: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg16492.html Use Control-N to read down through the thread. You can also check my post to Carlene about how to navigate to the Preferences folder. That post lists even more VoiceOver and speech-related plist files: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg13973.html If you have any of the old plist files around from a backup, just copy them into the Library/Preferences folder under your home directory and they should be used instead.

Re: apple trap: removing programs and all the related components
Hi Bian, Which Library are you referring to? I generally just go in and remove everything that is related to a deleted app, unless of course it is being used by something else. But in most cases, I think it is safe to remove everything associated with a given application. Perhaps someone could confirm this, but I don't think Mac OS X treats applications and their associated files as UNIX or Linux does, with its bias towards "dependencies".

Re: Prowl app for louder mail and other notification sounds [was Re: sounds very disappointing.]
Hello Bernard, I don't know whether this setup will work for you. Since I have an iPod Touch, I'm not using text messages, and I don't need this myself for push notifications. I'd say that this is in the category of a more speculative suggestion: I can check that the fundamental notification process works, and that the app is accessible, but someone who regularly uses Growl with chat clients or is interested in using push notifications from Twitter with Prowl could probably check this out and tell you more. There are a bunch of list readers who regularly do use Growl on the Mac side, and one of them might be able to try this out. Then you'd be able to tell whether it was worth the effort of using the Windows application. Also, I know that this is all accessible on the Mac side, but I don't know about how things work through Windows, or even whether it's worth installing Growl for Windows. Usually I don't post about something that I can't give more detailed information, but this seemed like something that might work for you and some others. Just to let you know this could be a possible solution. I'll add that there are web sites about using Prowl for iPhone push notifications for Twitter: http://www.peterbe.com/plog/iphone-push-notifications-for-twitter-with-prowl http://rackerhacker.com/2009/09/19/twitter-direct-message-notifications-with-prowl/ There's also a Prowl forum on their web pages. Again, my suggestion would be to have other iPhone list members try this out and report back before you invest much time into exploring this possibility. Cheers, Esther Bernard Hemmings wrote: will this work for text messages as these are often sent when a more urgent reply is expected. I went to the trouble of converting about 260 ring tones as I assumed that like other phones all sound events could be defined by the user. I guess I should have checked this was the case and I will be checking out growl. I had not heard of this app. I use eudora as my mail ap as it's much safer than the outlook platform. Attachments are always kept separate from any messages. There is just no way with eudora you could accidentally click on a attached file as they are saved in a folder of your choice, only problem is that no syncing program works with the eudora address book. Do you know if growl works with eudora. I had not used growl as eudora as it's new mail sound is totally definable by the user. I will check growl out. re the 5 or 6 choices for sounds for text messages there are 2 possible sounds that just reach the ok level which are horn and electronic, the rest you would have to be in a very quiet office type environment to hear them with out headphones of some kind.

You can select from all your tones for incoming calls. new text messages they allow you to choose from 5 or 6 built in sounds. You won't believe this the new mail, sent mail and calender alert sounds can only be turned off and on and the default and only sounds they use are just no good for someone hard of hearing. what's more I can't believe apple have not been swamped under complaints re this. I think the clock can select between all your loaded tones as can the incoming call ring tone selector. apart from that the new sms or text message sound can select from about 6 the new mail, sent mail and voicemail can only be turned on and off. if the set sounds were loud it would be ok but most you would not hear if you were in the city with traffic noise all round and you were not waring headphones. I think some of these designers never leave their high rise air conditioned office blocks. has anyone else noticed how limited the sound settings were. I'm cc'ing this to the macvisionaries list, since this may be of general interest. If you have Growl running for notifications on your PC, you might try the Prowl app ($2.99). I've only played with this a little, because I don't need these functions myself (I have a MobileMe account that updates mail notifications with push, and the regular volume settings work fine for me on my iPod Touch). Growl is a global notification system for the Mac OS X and Windows. For the large number of applications that support Growl, you can get notifications when tasks are done. For example, if you are downloading a series of files, you might want to have the download program send you a notification when it's done, which you could assign to a particular sound. Similarly, you can install a GrowlMail plugin (on the Mac) that sends a Growl notification whenever a new mail message comes in. What might be of interest to you and other iPhone/iPod Touch users is that the Prowl app, which is a Growl client for the iPhone, can be set to play diff

i-tunes question?
Hi all, its for a friend, my mac is not ready for i-tunes smiles. she says the program goes through her machine and apparently ipod and will remove things it does not think should be there? stuff she may have copied over but not gotten from the store? I can send her explanation if this does not make sense. Seems rather predatory, surely there is a way to change this. I am thinking about someone copying personal files to their ipod and i-tunes having a field day.

Hi listers, I cannot figure out how to navigate the date fields for birthday and anniversary. Can you please help me understand this.

USPS Mobile free App for U.S. Postal Service
Hi all, There is a free USPS Mobile app from the U.S. Postal Service that gives information about nearby post office branches, collection boxes, and hours, along with zip code look up. This app is generally accessible, but a few pointers will make using it easier. First. you must have an internet connection to look up entries. Secondly, when you look up locations, the results can be shown either in maps view or list view, but defaults to maps view, and there is no settings menu to specify a different preference. The maps view is like using the default Maps app on the iPhone: it's accessible, and you can flick to the individual Post Office or box locations on the map and double tap for more detailed information, but it's more convenient to simply change the results from map view to list view by double tapping the "map" button at the top center of the screen. This presents a list of location results ordered by distance. When you double tap the individual locations in the list (or in map view), you're presented with a screen that gives details about the post office location and its services. There is one unlabeled button on the screen that, when double-tapped, takes you to a zoomed in maps view of the location. If you double tap this by mistake, you can simply find the "shows more info" button on the map and double tap it to get back to the details screen. Flicking right from the unlabeled button, you'll reach buttons for "Get Directions" and "Add to Contacts" Note that if you double tap the "Get Directions" you'll get an alert message asking you if you want to leave the USPS Mobile app, and if you double tap "OK", you'll be taken to the Maps app for routing information from your current location. There is also an "Hours" button on the detailed information screen. Double tapping that button gives information on the retail hours and last collection time for each day of the week. Other buttons on the bottom of the app screen are for Zip Code look-up and tracking information. Your current location is used by default, and you are asked permission to use this when the app starts up. If you want to check location information for a different location, double tap the location button at the top left corner of the location screen, then double tap in the text field just below where it says "Enter an address". Type in an address on the virtual keyboard and double tap the search button at the bottom right. The USPS Mobile app may be found at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id339597578?mt=8 HTH Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: voice over reset itself yesterday. How?
Hi Sarah, First, which browser are you using to read this thread at the linked Mail Archive site? There are different access key combinations for FireFox, Internet Explorer and Safari. For IE I think you use Alt-N to read down the thread. For Safari on a Mac with VoiceOver turned on, Control-N automatically takes you to the next post in a thread, and Command-N opens a new Window (unless there have been horrid changes that I don't know about). For Safari on a Mac without VoiceOver turned on, Control-Option-N will take you to the next post in a thread at the Mail Archive site. Control-P (or Alt-P, etc. depending on the browser) takes you to the previous post in the thread. I totally agree that having to click on the right arrow would be a pain, and the reason I use the Mail Archive is because the access keys and the search function makes it simple for me to find and read through content. It also supports access keys for other browsers and platforms. In answer to your other questions, you can save the plist files anywhere you want on your home directory and then just copy them over to the your Library/Preferences folder if something goes wrong. There are usually only a few that would be a pain to set up again. If I don't have a recent copy I'll simply go into a cloned backup of my drive (which I take periodically) and copy them from the Library/ Preferences folder of my directory. Here's the direct link to the post that I made to Daniel's thread describing how to navigate to the Library Preferences folder and decide which files to copy and save: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg16511.html I'm not sure about the other messages, but it sounds as though your verbosity settings should be changed.

using facebook with safari
Hello all, I'm new to the list and new to using Mac. I just got my mac mini two weeks ago and so far I'm really enjoying it. One thing I'd like to know is if any of you use the regular facebook site with safari and voiceover successfully? I'm having trouble locating edit boxes on the site. For example, updating status messages, writing on people's walls, etc. Of course I can do this by accessing the mobile site but the mobile site is not as powerful as the full site and I'd like to use the full site if possible. If any of you have any tricks or tips, I'd love to hear them. Thanks. Ronit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: using facebook with safari
Hi! there's also http://lite.facebook.com That seems to work better for me and I can find edit boxes. I have trouble on the main site looking for the place to write on a wall or leave a status message and this site seems to work better for me.

Re: safari busy, busy, busy

I suppose this must be a very memory-intensive process, as it bogged my computer down for several minutes and I got the busy message intermittently during this whole time.
