Re: What torrent is used

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi,
I'm using utorrent and Transmission. Transmission is good, but i can't seem to 
see the time left until transfer is completed, that's my only objection about 
that client.

Re: Download link for the Unarchiver

[William Windels]

Hello listers,

Thx for the hint and download information.
I would also ask if there is any program to unpack different formats?
On windows, I have a free program called powerarchiver that can unpack : zip, 
gz, rar, tar, bzip2 and some other formats.
Can I have such program on the mac (for free)?
Or, can the program below also handle this different formats?

Thanx in advance,
best regards,
William

RE: text elements and clickable

[Simon Fogarty]

Thanks Carolyn, and yes, I would expect that you would make sure it's ok
with apple before allowing others to utilise it.

Hi Simon:

I was actually thinking of sharing the information.  I just want to be
certain it doesn't violate any sort of contract with the Apple Store.

When I'm next on my mac, I'll forward the info.

Thanks for asking.

Hi Carolyn,

I have to ask, but is there any chance you might let the list have the link
to that page with   the training information 

So those of us that may be very basic / beginnerusers could possibly benefit
from the information as well?

If not then hay tat would be fine as you probably paid for the access. But
just thought I'd ask.

Cheers

Hi everyone:
I had my firwt training session through Apple's One to one program.  It was
interesting, anda little peculiar.  My training ws held in the middle of the
store, with all the noise and bustle of a Friday afternoon.  I got
familiarized a little more with the visual layout of the screens, the menu
bar, and some of the voiceover utility.  As part of this program, I receive
access to a special page of tutorials, and other tools.  Gee, I have a long
way to go.  So, I was exploring this page, and came across a very bsic
question, the answer to which will probably enable me to move along
independently and set goals for my next training session.  On this page, are
a number of links, headers, levels, etc.  clicking on links (using
VO/spacebar, what then appears are text elements that say clickable.
Probably very simple, but nothing I do brings the "clickable" text elements
to life.  
Tia for any help with this.  
Carolyn

I find the facebook main page to be hard to navigate.  The mobile site

If you have an iPhone there's also an app there which works well.  It's just 
called facebook.

Wow, Søren, thanks for all these suggestions!  I'll try them out and see what

So, really appreciate all this, it gives me someplace to go next.

Thoughts on Flash

[Chris Blouch]

Apparently nobody noticed this yet but Steve Jobs posted an open letter 
addressing why they don't support Flash on the iPad, iPod and iPhone. 
Interesting read which reiterates a few points I had guessed at earlier. 
That Jobs guy must be pretty smart

Syncing a Braillenote mPower bt32 with a mac.

[Dónal Fitzpatrick]

Hi there,
Well the subject says it all really.  For various reasons, I need to travel
this weekend and I'm taking my old BT32 out of mothballs.  However, oddly
enough for the first time since I binned my PC, I need to sync some files
(map data actually) with it.  Is there a way to do this using my mac?  

Cheers,

Dónal

Hi,
Just download your maps and using a card reader unzip the maps to your
compact flash card in a folder called maps.  Just a simple unzip/copy
paste within finder.

No PC required.

iBooks quirk.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

Not sure if it's me or a quirk in iBooks. Sometimes when I'm finished 
with a page and I do the flick to the next page it starts reading but 
doesn't seem like it kept the place. For instance if the page ends in a 
middle of a sentense and goes to the next page it doesn't continue with 
that sentense. Also it seems to run some words together. I guess it 
could be the page being messed up in the epub itself though. Just 
wondering if anyone else experiences this.

When I connect my iphone to my windows 7 computer, I receive a message
saying sync in progress on the phone. I also see on the computer a synch
alert, and a message saying that there will be more than 25 changes. And I
hear some additional options. But I don't know if am suppose to do something
with this box or not. Also, itunes also backs up my phone which takes
several minutes is this normal.

Thanks.

 Hi.
 
 I had the same issue until I saw a weird application was starting 
 up together with the os. I think it was called something like CT

 in the accounts settings in System preferences under your account 
 and under "login items."

Re: -- Question on Autostarting a VM under Fusion

[Scott Howell]

Thanks, but what I was trying to find out is this and it's to help a friend. He 
installed windows as a VM and whenever he launches Fusion, windows starts 
automatically and this is not the behavior he wants. He just wants Fusion to 
open and then select the VM he wishes to launch.

Happy fifth birthday VoiceOver

[Darcy Burnard]

April 29th 2005 saw the release of Mac OS 10.4 Tiger.  This was the first 
version of the Mac OS to include VoiceOver.  We've come a long way in these 
past five years, and if you're interested in taking a look back, there are a 
couple of things you might want to check out.  
First, we did a retrospective episode of the Screenless Switchers Podcast which 
you can find at http://www.screenlessswitchers.com, or you can subscribe in 
iTunes.  Holly and I were joined by Josh De Lioncourt and Steve Sawczyn.  
The second thing you might want to check out is Josh's excellent birthday 
article on Maccessibility.  You can find it at 
http://www.lioncourt.com/2010/04/29/happy-birthday-voiceover/.
Here's to another five years.
Darcy

synch problem

[denise avant]

Hello all,

This is an update to the problem I was having earlier. What I've seen is
that the iphone will not sync at all using itunes. It says its synching but
simply sits there never installing anything to my phone. Can anyone tell me
how to troubleshoot this problem? Thanks.

Things were working fine a few days ago. The only thing I know I did was to
download and install the new version of itunes.

Re: -- Question on Autostarting a VM under Fusion

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi,

You can change this by doing the following.

1. Find the virtual machine you want in the VIrtual machine Library. Hit 
COmmand-Shift-L to bring this to the foreground.
2. If the Mouse is not currently focussed on the machine you want when using 
the VoiceOver keys to locate the virtual machine, hit VO-Command-F5.
3. Now, Control-Click with the mouse. Literally. This will bring up a menu.
4. Either navigate to "Open when VMWare Fusion Starts" by using the VoiceOver 
keys or simply using down arrow, then hit enter or VO-Space to uncheck.

The reason I suggest using VO-Command-F5 to reposition the mouse cursor is 
because it does not always follow.

Hope this helps.

Nic

Re: parelells a complete waist of my time

[Brent Harding]

Can I go the other way, buy fusion, install Windows, and dump that to a boot 
camp partition some how? This Macbook is resisting all attempts, even with 
sighted help, to even boot the windows disk, and I have two different ones. 
One of them I know says it contains service pack 2, and they say nothing 
about 64-bit, so they must be 32. I know the one for the desktop definitely 
is. I was thinking with a VM of Windows, I could slip it on through the back 
door. I tried the option key to boot, holding C, resetting the PRam, only 
waited for 3 chimes, some people say to go as many as 5. I looked at a forum 
post and someone said it's a bad luck of the draw because they have two of 
the same model Macbook and one bootcamped and the other refused. Without 
another Mac, how else can I get the partition loaded with XP?

Re: parelells a complete waist of my time

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi,

As far as I know, this isn't possible. I wish it was, though. IF someone has 
somehow found out how, I'd love to know. It doesn't look possible though. Sorry 
to burst your bubble.

Regards,
Nic

RE: iPad and bluetooth refreshable braille

[Bryan Smart]

Would really be cool if one of the display companies made their own keyboard 
dock with integrated display. The iPad battery would support running it for a 
long time. I suppose that the Bluetooth model is better for them, though, as 
one model can be used with lots of different devices.

In general, the iPad needs a better dock. The keyboard dock is nice, but, for 
one, I wish it included better speakers. There is the line-out port, of course, 
but would be good if they were integrated.

If they do make it I'd be surprised.

feel good in another's.  I suggest you let your student hold and use both of 
these displays and pick the one that feels good in his hand.  Otherwise, you 
might buy something he's not comfortable with and it will go into a closet.

switch crashing when converting ma files

[Sarah Alawami]

Hello to all. Have you noticed that switch crashes upon trying to convert wma 
files? I get an error which I report but I don't know what causes the crash.

Take care.

Take care.

Re: switch crashing when converting ma files

[Dan Eickmeier]

Hi Sarah, if you don't  have it installed, maybe installing flip4mac WMV will 
help and allow you  to convert these files?
