Unzipping Bookshare Books

[Claire]

Hi Everyone,
I can't seem to open Books downloaded on my Mac with the Unarchiver. I
can download them without any problems, I then press Command+Down
Arrow a dialog box comes up asking for a password. I type in my
Bookshare password correctly but then a message comes up saying that
the file can not be opened because the password is incorrect.
Has anybody else experienced these problems ?
Thanks for your help,
Claire

RE: word processing and spred sheets on ipad

[Simon Fogarty]

Apple store, wow, that would be a great Idea. I think the closest apple
store to me is in brisbaine austrailia, about 3 hours flying time from here.


We have a couple of apple dealers or stores that sell apple products, but no
apple stores.

 

As for checking out the device, I purchased one and have been using it for
everything else, but I'd like to have acces to word processing and spred
sheets if possible.

I wondered how accessible numbers was with vo? Has anyone tried it?

 

And thanks for the thought, but it's just not possible.

Hi Simon,

Is it convenient for you to get to an Apple store near where you live? they
have a "genius bar" where they can answer all your questions. You can even
make appointments to see the equipment before buying. I plan to check this
out before I decide to buy an iphone.

Hello. I agree that numbers is accessible for basic spreadsheet work anyway.
To use it though, the user needs to be familiar with interaction because you
have to interact with several items to get down to where the table becomes
accessible. Formulas work fine and numbers seems to be compatible with
Excel.

Subject: Re: blue tooth on iPad

Hi, Yeh the iPad and iPhone 4 use a micro SIM, everything else in the world
uses mini SIM.  They are exactly the same internal configuration but the
micro loses the plastic surround making it considerably smaller. If you are
daring enough you can cut any mini SIM down to micro SIM size.  Anyway to
answer the question about bluetooth, I use a Nokia BH905.  Its a headset
style over the head arrangement and supports A2DP and AVRC as well as
standard headset protocols.  Its a really nice headset with noise
cancelling, a beautiful design and feels very solid.  Unfortunately the
iPhone and iPad don't support AVRC for remote control of
play/pause/forward/backward. which is a pain but the biggest issue on the
iPhone iPad and iPod is the resolution of the bluetooth protocol.  It hasn't
been complained about very much so I asume that most people don't notice.  I
don't have any measurements but i'd guess A2DP on the i devices is limitted
to only 12KHz, maybe 16 but certainly not 22 or 44.  Music through all
bluetooth headphones that I've heard is tinny and limited in trebble.
It isn't a limitation of the bluetooth protocol as if I pair them with my
Nokia N86 or N95 they sound spectacular.  I was really hoping Apple would
address this issue in IOS 4 but I guess they haven't had enough complaints
about it yet.  Its very annoying though as I have a beautiful sounding
headset crippled by apples drivers.  In summary though the BH905 will do
exactly what you want, they are solid and sound wonderful as long as you
don't mind losing a little trebble.

RE: NAS and Time Machine

Kevin,

 NAS is also available in larger units, I've seen them up to 10 dries. 
 As for raid 0 and 1, that's fine, but if you only have 2 drives, my
suggestion would be to mirror the drives so that you have a backup of data
on the drive.

NAS stands for Network Attached Storage. It's essentially a hard drive case
for two drives with an Ethernet jack on the back. Data is sent via Ethernet
protocols to the drives. This allows the drive to sit in a corner, connected
to a router and accessible over a network. 

My box will allow me to format the drives as JBOD (just a bunch of disks),
as RAID 0 or RAID 1. 

I'm wondering whether Time Machine will recognize this as a valid backup
drive or if it only works with something connected to a USB or Firewire
port.

Re: blue tooth on iPad

[Isaac Obie]

Simon,
Could it be the connections? Sometimes trying to connect these things can be 
a bear! I've seen connections for some computers that were so delicate, I 
wondered why they even bothered to go there especially considering how 
expensive that equipment is.

I'm after a blue tooth headset ha t only goes on one ear. That allows me 
to

listen and walk at the same time as well as listening to my environment as
well.

But for some reasn the blueant v1 doesn't work on the iPad or at least in

Hi, Yeh the iPad and iPhone 4 use a micro SIM, everything else in the 
world

uses mini SIM.  They are exactly the same internal configuration but the
micro loses the plastic surround making it considerably smaller. If you 
are

daring enough you can cut any mini SIM down to micro SIM size.  Anyway to
answer the question about bluetooth, I use a Nokia BH905.  Its a headset
style over the head arrangement and supports A2DP and AVRC as well as
standard headset protocols.  Its a really nice headset with noise
cancelling, a beautiful design and feels very solid.  Unfortunately the
iPhone and iPad don't support AVRC for remote control of
play/pause/forward/backward. which is a pain but the biggest issue on the
iPhone iPad and iPod is the resolution of the bluetooth protocol.  It 
hasn't
been complained about very much so I asume that most people don't notice. 
I
don't have any measurements but i'd guess A2DP on the i devices is 
limitted

to only 12KHz, maybe 16 but certainly not 22 or 44.  Music through all
bluetooth headphones that I've heard is tinny and limited in trebble.
It isn't a limitation of the bluetooth protocol as if I pair them with my
Nokia N86 or N95 they sound spectacular.  I was really hoping Apple would
address this issue in IOS 4 but I guess they haven't had enough complaints
about it yet.  Its very annoying though as I have a beautiful sounding
headset crippled by apples drivers.  In summary though the BH905 will do
exactly what you want, they are solid and sound wonderful as long as you
don't mind losing a little trebble.

Hi Mac people,



I've just splashed out and got the iPad,  great toy after shaving a
sim card down to fit the micro slot, and being able to get internet
access outside of my work and home.



However, I have a Bluetooth headset, a blue ant V1, but the iPad wont
pick up on it when trying to pair them both.



Is this normal, I would have thought the blue ant devices were pretty
common devices.



If this one wont work, is there anything that is recommended for the
Bluetooth connectivity on the iPad?

I want to be able to skype from it.



Cheers

Re: NAS and Time Machine

[Kevin Shaw]

Yes, I realize NAS boxes come in larger configurations. what I meant to say was 
that mine in particular has two drives in it. We use NAS at my station with up 
to 15 drives in it.

As for the formatting information, I will look into that. the manual does have 
information on using the NAS as an iTunes server, so I would imagine that it 
would be Time Machine compatible.

Re: trimming silent passages using Amadeus Pro

[Eric Caron]

Sorry,

I also have not mastered this.  Furth, I tried for some time to use the 
split according to silence feature for placing markers in a recording such as a 
vinyl record or tape.  I was never able to get it to work reliably so I always 
set the markers manually. 

Amadeus Pro users please keep posting your tips here I appreciate them.

Re: screen curtain

[Eric Caron]

I have often wondered though if using the screen curtain on battery power would 
give us increased battery life.  Recently I had a power outage and I checked my 
battery level with screen curtain off.  I then thought to turn on the screen 
curtain and I Checked the battery life again.  It jumped up significantly.  I 
can't remember exactly how much but I think more then an hour.  Does this sound 
right to you folks?  

This would mean that even though the power to the screen is still on the power 
consumption goes down significantly.  

If true it is at least a little bonus for blind mac book users.

Re: using a hard drive for multiple back ups?

[Jonathan Cohn]

I am fairly certain that Time Machine places all the backup
information into a very specific directory on your back-up  drive.  If
this is the case, and if this directory does not exist on your Primary
disk then you should be OK.

I know that Carbon Copy can co-exist if it is run first.  Perhaps you
want to get a coppy of the take Control book on backups.  Take control
books are 50% off this week.

(Read the instructions in Tidbits.com for how to get the discount).

[And no, I get no kickbacks from the Tidbits /  Take Control  group, I
have just found them always to be useful and current]

Re: Unzipping Bookshare Books

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Claire.

I had the same problem.

I am using stuffit expander with that application, I have no problems.

You can also use the terminal.

Here is a link for stuffit expander:

http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander-download.html

If it does not work with this one, go to the archive of this list, and search 
for stuffit expander.

Best regards Annie.

Re: using a hard drive for multiple back ups?

[Chris Blouch]

A time machine backup will live in the folder Backups.backupdb when 
backups are run locally. When run over a network Time Machine creates a 
disk image called ComputerName.sparseimage which seems to be one giant file.

Jonathan Cohn wrote:

I am fairly certain that Time Machine places all the backup
information into a very specific directory on your back-up  drive.  If
this is the case, and if this directory does not exist on your Primary
disk then you should be OK.

I know that Carbon Copy can co-exist if it is run first.  Perhaps you
want to get a coppy of the take Control book on backups.  Take control
books are 50% off this week.

(Read the instructions in Tidbits.com for how to get the discount).

Does it make it's backup into a single file? If so you could probably
store that on the 1TB drive. That said, Time Machine's backup folder
simply stores incremental backups until it fills up the volume and then
starts deleting the oldest backups. So sooner or later that volume will
fill up. I just put a 2TB drive in my other machine for TM backups and
partitioned it into two 500GB volumes and a 1TB volume. The two 500s I
use for two time machine backups, my laptop over the network and the
local machine. Then the 1TB volume is just for general use. That seems
to work well. I haven't done enough re-partitioning to know if you can
resize or  not without losing data. Even if you did, you could just run
another time machine backup after you're done. Chances of failure of
your machine at the same time that you're reconfiguring backups is
pretty small. Because everything should just be files on the backup
volume you shouldn't have anything stepping on anything.

[William Windels]

Hi all,
I have just installed safari 5.01 and I can't seen any changes about the 
problem with the braille-support in formfields on webpages.

When i Type some text in a formfield, only the first words are shown on my 
brailledisplay. The words after aren't shown while typing.
I can't read also the whole text I have typed.

Is here someone hat has still this bug in safari 5.01?

Thanx for your answer,

best regards,
William

What if you hook your time capsul to someone else's computer and run time 
machine on there's? will you loose your  back up?

Re: screen curtain

[John D. Lipsey]

Turning down the brightness doesn't completely turn off the display, but is it 
possible, with a MacBook, to completely turn off the screen including the 
backlight?

Tornado warning! (get away from windows)

[Samuel]

I have a state-issue pc running windows 7, but I switched to the mac
this January so I could stop worrying about upgrading jaws, but I
can't seem to get away from windows completely. This is disappointing.
I really just want one computer. I know I can run windows on a  mac,
but that would completely defeat the purpose of me buying one. I'm
having two major problems

1) I occasionally use kurzweil 1000, and I really wish i could find a
suitable replacement for mac that does all the stuff the the K1000
does.

2) My internet experience with safari (as well as other browsers on
the Mac) has, upon reflection, been rather poor. I realize that flash
doesn't work as well on a mac, and that's ok. My problem is that sites
simply don't load very fast. I have other computers in my home that
load sites very quickly. Sometimes I will wait 30 seconds only for the
"safari can't load website" message, but when I try again, the page
loads. One site in particular (www.rae.es) won't load AT ALL, no
matter if I clear the cache, reset safari, or even use other browsers
on the mac. This same site loads problem free on my pc using the same
connection. When I try to get there on my mac, I just get the search
suggestions page from my ISP. accessing this site is indispensable for
my education.

I'm also having trouble finding high-quality, cheap Spanish voices. I
know Cepstral makes some, but I don't like them.

any suggestions.

Re: Tornado warning! (get away from windows)

[Kevin Shaw]

Hi Samuel,

Running Windows on a Mac doesn't defeat the purpose of buying a Mac. Apple 
encourages, albeit in a round-about way, people to run Windows on their Macs. 
This is why Apple made BootCamp in the first place.

Having said that, I'm not aware of any comparable product to K-1000 running on 
a Mac. I used to have two computers until my PC died recently. Once my iMac is 
set-up, I'll be installing Windows on it so I can run K-1000 and a few other PC 
specific programs for my work.

I tried the website in my Safari and it loaded in about 2 seconds. Perhaps 
you've got some type of DNS resolving issue, but this is speculation on my part 
as I'm not familiar with how your system is set-up.

Someone else can speak to the quality of Spanish voices, I'm sure.

Hope this helps.
Kevin

Re: Tornado warning! (get away from windows)

[William Windels]

Hi Samuel,

about K1000, I don't know what it is exactly but I think it's something to ocr 
text?
, convert text to mp3 baseically.
To ocr text or a image, you have abby finereader express on the mac (not very 
advanced , only 70 euro) but it scans books for me.
You have also readers as alternative ocr-software but I think it's more 
expensive and I am not sure if it's better then abby finereader express.

With itunes you can convert text into mp3 or another format with itunes.
It's easy , fast and, if you have the right voice for the specific language, 
it's free (Itunes is included in the mac for free).
I don't know if you want also some other features of K1000 on your mac but for 
that, you should specify further.


About your internet problems: I agree with you that safari isn't the best 
browser for all kind of websites and, on my situation here, I agree also that 
safari is sometimes very slow.
Unfortunately: safari is nearly the onlyone browser that is good accessible.
Opera is accessible in some situations and firefox isn't accessible at all at 
this moment.


Hope this helps,
best regards,
William

Re: Tornado warning! (get away from windows)

[William Windels]

He Samuel again,
the site you are speaking about is loading fast here.
Perhaps there are some local/national problems with the internet/network over 
there...

good luck!

Re: Accessible piano apps for iPhone

[Sonnia]

Wow thumbjam sounds amazing! I have to try this one out. Plus there's
an app called cosmobox or something like that. its a synthesizer that
you can adjust tempo and the scale for. I've read that's accessible
but thumbjam looks more like what i was looking for.

RE: Is numbers as good as excel?

[Scott E. Ford]

Hi, Scott here, I recently returned to the list.  The last time that I
worked with numbers, all be it this was long ago.  I thought that there was
a big fundamental difference between numbers and excel.  I may be wrong, but
when you start numbers you do not land in a cell grid, do you?  I ask
because I need to use a spreadsheet and I am proficient with excel and I am
considering Iwork or Open office, which one is the most simple to migrate
from when versed with MS office?
Sincerely,
Scott

You will need a recorder like audio hijack pro or amadeus, an ftp client and a
