Re: Accessible piano apps for iPhone
There is also an app called Accordio. It's a piano style accordion, but it isn't VO accessible. If you triple click, it will work nicely though. I have it, and I play the little accordion on my iPod Touch all the time. I'm also totally blind, and it doesn't present too much of a problem. If you hold the iPhone to with the home button facing your chest, the chord buttons will be on your left and the piano keys will be on the right. The chord buttons are a circle of fifths as you go from the end furthest away from you toward your chest. It's a lot of fun.

Vo no longer reading characters
Hoping someone can help hear. I'm not shore what's happening, so I'll try to explain as best I can. I turned my Mac on this morning to find that voiceover won't read by letter's when I use the left and right arrow keys, it will only read by words. Also using tables seamsbe acting strangely, but I cant quite pin point how. I think I've turned something on or off by mistake, but can't for the life of me work out what r how to fix it. The only way I can get it to read by letter's is to hold down shift vo command and then press left or right arrow, I used to be able to just use the arrow keys on there own in text edit to read by letter. The arrow keys just aren't acting like the usually would. It's incredably frustrating torying to work like this. Everything in voiceover utilities seams to be set rite. Does anyone no what I might have done? Thanks for any help, Kari. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Vo no longer reading characters
I don't have a solution but I have a few guesses. 1. hit left and right arrow and see if quick nav is on. if it is on you will hear quick nav off when you press the keystroke. 2. Try hitting vo semicolon. That locks the vo keys for most functions. You will hear control option loch on or off depending on the state. Good luck.

track pad gesture questions
Hello all, In anticipation of the arrival of my magic track pad some time next week, I had a look at the article on the Apple website that gives a list of voice over gestures in snow leopard. I didn't exactly understand what one of them does, or at least, when you'd use it. It is the one to force voice over into a straight line by dragging a finger horizontally or vertically , I think while holding down one of the keyboard keys, control? What does this actually do? I wondered also if it is possible to get an actual mouse click on the track pad while using voice over. Do you have to turn vo gestures off and then double tap? And, last one, I thought I remembered somebody on this list talking about their ability to add more gestures than what has been programmed into the track pad commander and mentioned in that Apple list. Maybe that was using apple scripts, beyond my abilities at this point. Clarification would be great. mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: track pad gesture questions
I can answer one of these, yes you can add more functionality, you use the existing gestures but with a modifier key pressed (such as control, or whatever you wish) and then you assign an action to a gesture. This is all done within the Voice Over utility under commanders, trackpad. No scripting involved what so ever.

Re: status menus messed up
There are three major modes for the arrow keys. 1. VO lock. 2. Standard arrows 3. QuickNav. I am assuming you have quickNav on? If this is the case try typing the left arrow and the up arrow at the same time until VoiceOver says Navigation. See if that solves your problem. Also, I have on occasion found that the Status menus appear to be unreachable from VO and when this occurs turning Voice Over off and then back on usually helps.

Re: track pad gesture questions
The function you were talking about is for navigating tables. If you wantto scan through the Subject of your e-mail's and not accidently start reading the sender, then you could hold down this key and the VoiceOver cursor will remain in the column you currently are in. (much like using the down arrow does, but a bit faster) Best regards, Jon On 30/07/2010, Chris Moore wrote: > I can answer one of these, yes you can add more functionality, you use the > existing gestures but with a modifier key pressed (such as control, or > whatever you wish) and then you assign an action to a gesture.

Re: Mail Navigation Tips and Take Control Books 50% off till August 3rd {was Re: mail navigation questions]
Gmail and IMAP are a strange combination when working together. GMAILusually has the philosophy of keeping every message in a everything message. There is a document on the Google web site that says something to the extent... Do not check the box to move deleted messages to the trash as this will cause messages to be deleted from all folders in your gmail account. I interpret this as ... As long as you only want your messages to have only one active label, it is OK to have imap move the messages into your trash folder. Make sure the Gmail/trash folder is actually marked as "use this folder for trash" as found in the Mailboxes menu.

In addition to using the sort command (VO-Shift-Backslash for English input keyboards; VO-H twice to get the VoiceOver Commands menu and select "Sort Column" for non-English keyboards that don't have a "Backslash" key), to reorder any of the columns in Mail's "Message Viewer" table (such as "Date Received"), you can move to the top or bottom of the table by holding down Option+Up Arrow or Option+Down Arrow keys and waiting just a short bit. (Donna Goodin got this tip from the Accessibility team). Also, even if you don't use threaded mode to view your mail, you can move to the next or previous post in a thread by holding down the Option key and tapping either the down arrow or up arrow key (results of whether you get the "previous" or "next" post with up or down arrow depend on how you've sorted your mail display). Finally, this goes beyond your question of VoiceOver specific operations with Mail, but a very good guide to the way that the Mail Application works is "Take Control of Apple Mail in Snow Leopard". The Take Control guides and their discounted bundles are on sale for 50% off through August 3rd. These guides are all available at modest prices (typically $10 - $15 list price) in DRM-free, downloadable PDF format. And now they're available in ePub format as well, if you want to read your purchase in iBooks on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, as well as in Preview. You get access to all minor version updates for free. Some of their guides have information I've never seen covered at the same level in any other resource -- for example, "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network" for setting up wireless networks, or "Take Control of Mac OS X Backups", or "Take Control of MobileMe". Esoteric questions about File Sharing methods (e.g. with Windows devices) are also handled in these books. The web site typically offers free samples of the books, as well as extensive descriptions, so you can decide whether a particular book is likely to be useful to you.

RE: word processing and spred sheets on ipad
Simon, it is usable, but you may not actually want to use it. I had an iPad, and I tried this stuff, but I didn't do it a lot, and I haven't tried it in a while, so I'll probably make some mistakes in my description. There will undoubtedly be some iPad people that tell me that I overlooked something. That's fine, but here is the general idea. So, you want to put a file on your iPad to edit while you're away from home. You know that you can't just hook up the iPad to the computer and copy the file over, as the iPad security doesn't allow that. Here is what you must do. You must add the file to iTunes, including, I think, marking it for sync. Then, you must start a sync of your iPad with iTunes. When that completes, you need to go in to the iWork program on the iPad that you want to use, like Pages, and locate the document. Except, you can't use it right away. You must import the document in to Pages (I think it converts it or something). Now, you can edit all you want. However, when you get back home, and want to print it, you must go through the process in reverse. You have to go in to Pages on the iPad, load your document, export it to a regular document, hook up to the Mac, sync with iTunes, and then get it back in to your Word Processor. Basically, while iPad and iPhone programs can save and load files, they only have access to the files that they specifically create, or that are brought in to them through a sync with iTunes or over the Internet. Programs on the iPad and iPhone can't access any file that was created by another program on the same device, nor can they share their files with other iPad/iPhone programs. You also can't access any documents or files that a program makes from a computer, unless that program is authorized to sync through iTunes. That's why programs like the Daisy book reader can't let you transfer books directly to your device. They must waste time with built-in FTP servers or store files remotely on a server somewhere. For the most part, I don't need to do the sort of things with a phone to where this is a big enough of a pain to me, and so I use an iPhone. However, for most computing tasks, this is way too much of a lock down. I mean, if Apple wants to lock up the programs, that's one thing, but they should at least have a common place on the iPhone/iPad where programs can store and share files with each other. Like I said, if I can only get a voice memo out of the voice memo recording program by using its built-in function to e-mail it to me, then I'll deal, but trying to undertake large projects on one of these devices is a frustrating activity that I'd never recommend. These devices just are not made for producing content. They're meant to be very nice Internet terminals.

Re: Accessible piano apps for iPhone
Benn, How accessible is this currently and how soon does he plan on making it fully accessible? I'm really curious about this and I just might drop the $10. I'm a bassist and probably more a hack then a real musician, :), but this sounds like something I could use for entertainment and actually working on some ideas I have floating around in my brain.

VMWare issue
Hi list. I recently installed VMWare fusion on my MacBook so I can run Windows XP if I ever need to. Installing VMWare was easy enough. I then located an XP install CD in my basement. I'm not sure how long we've had it kicking around here, but from all I could tell the disk was in working order. I inserted the Disk and brought up Fusion. It seemed to be working perfectly until I hit save. Then the CD drive did its thing for a minute before VMWare yelled at me that there was no bootable media detected.

It depends on your gmail settings. If you have archiving turned off on the given gmail acount you should be able to go to acounts in preferences select the given acount in the table if you have more than one acount, then I believe click the Advanced tab and there is a remove from server function that you can click.

In addition to using the sort command (VO-Shift- Backslash for English input keyboards; VO-H twice to get the VoiceOver Commands menu and select "Sort Column" for non-English keyboards that don't have a "Backslash" key), to reorder any of the columns in Mail's "Message Viewer" table (such as "Date Received"), you can move to the top or bottom of the table by holding down Option+Up Arrow or Option+Down Arrow keys and waiting just a short bit. (Donna Goodin got this tip from the Accessibility team). Also, even if you don't use threaded mode to view your mail, you can move to the next or previous post in a thread by holding down the Option key and tapping either the down arrow or up arrow key (results of whether you get the "previous" or "next" post with up or down arrow depend on how you've sorted your mail display). Finally, this goes beyond your question of VoiceOver specific operations with Mail, but a very good guide to the way that the Mail Application works is "Take Control of Apple Mail in Snow Leopard". The Take Control guides and their discounted bundles are on sale for 50% off through August 3rd. These guides are all available at modest prices (typically $10 - $15 list price) in DRM-free, downloadable PDF format. And now they're available in ePub format as well, if you want to read your purchase in iBooks on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, as well as in Preview. You get access to all minor version updates for free. Some of their guides have information I've never seen covered at the same level in any other resource -- for example, "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network" for setting up wireless networks, or "Take Control of Mac OS X Backups", or "Take Control of MobileMe". Esoteric questions about File Sharing methods (e.g. with Windows devices) are also handled in these books.

Re: using a hard drive for multiple back ups?
Dunno. My backups are going to an internal hard drive I added to my old G4 mac so I don't think I'd be moving that around too much :) That said, I don't think Time Machine was set up to backup multiple machines to a drive being moved around. A big part of its benefit is doing hourly incremental backups and instant restores which won't be possible if the drive is gone. I know that, back in the day, we used to pass around SCSI DLT drives to occasionally back up a user to a cartridge when, say, a project was finished. That still fails to give the safety net of undoing accidental deletes and saves.

CB 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).

I haven't used carbon copy cloner. 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. CB Mary Otten wrote: Hi all, I have a 1 tb hard drive which is being used by time machine. But I would also really like to have a bootable back up, and I know TM does not do this.

If the drive were partitioned, that would be an obvious way to solve the problem. But it isn't, and I've got several months worth of time machine backups on it already, so should think partitioning at this time would not be possible without data loss. is that correct?

Re: blue tooth on iPad
Hi Simon, I'm not sure why the BlueAnt V1 isn't picked up by the iPad; the BlueAnt Q1 can pair to the iPad and also relay VoiceOver (with the Firmware upgrade support of A2DP). A Jawbone Icon without the Firmware upgrade to support A2DP wasn't seen by the iPad, so maybe the iPad requires A2DP for its Bluetooth devices? I know that the iPad does support the A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile, but not the HandsFree Bluetooth profile used by the iPhone for dealing with calls. Did you get the iPad Camera Connection Kit?

RE: blue tooth on iPad
Esther, is the q1, also a single ear head phone, or is it both ears? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Saturday, 31 July 2010 9:31 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: blue tooth on iPad Hi Simon, I'm not sure why the BlueAnt V1 isn't picked up by the iPad; the BlueAnt Q1 can pair to the iPad and also relay VoiceOver (with the Firmware upgrade support of A2DP). A Jawbone Icon without the Firmware upgrade to support A2DP wasn't seen by the iPad, so maybe the iPad requires A2DP for its Bluetooth devices? I know that the iPad does support the A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile, but not the HandsFree Bluetooth profile used by the iPhone for dealing with calls. Did you get the iPad Camera Connection Kit? You might be able to use a USB headset with the USB to dock connector, although I haven't tried this. I am able to record directly to apps by connecting an iMic to the USB to dock connector component of the Camera Connection Kit.

RE: Thoughts on Magic Trackpad

RE: Vo no longer reading characters
Carrie, In case you didn't see Chris' response to Josh on the same issue, you probably have Quick Nav turned on. To turn it off, press the left and right arrows at the same time.

Also using tables seamsbe acting strangely, but I cant quite pin point how. I think I've turned something on or off by mistake, but can't for the life of me work out what r how to fix it. The only way I can get it to read by letter's is to hold down shift vo command and then press left or right arrow, I used to be able to just use the arrow keys on there own in text edit to read by letter.

RE: Thoughts on Magic Trackpad
Hi Simon, Yes, you can use it in a very similar way to VO on the iPhone. I received my magic trackpad yesterday and it works brilliantly from what I can tell so far. It's extremely responsive and there's plenty of room to carry out the gestures. Plus, with the option to add customised gestures by holding down a modifier key and performing a gesture, there's a wealth of possibilities. The standard set of VO gestures can't be changed, so it's fairly easy to use straight away if you're an iPhone user already.

RE: status menus messed up
Josh, Here is a setting that will let you check the time and date with a simple 2 key command instead of using the Status Menu. I got this from a posting from Ricardo Walker. It works great. Open up Voiceover utility with VO F8. Interact, arrow down to commanders, then stop interacting. VO right arrow to the keyboard tab, select it with VO spacebar. VO right arrow once more and you will reach a check box labeled "enable Keyboard commander", check this with VO spacebar. Right arrow to the Okay button and press VO space bar. VO left arrow back to commanders. Interact, arrow up to General, then stop interacting. VO right arrow until you reach a checked labeled "allow voiceover to be controlled by applescripts" and check it with VO space bar. Now to check the date and time you press the right option key with the letter T. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Josh Kennedy Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 10:35 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: status menus messed up Hi Somehow I messed up voiceover. when I'm in mail and press arrow keys to edit my message up and down arrow move me by character and left and right move me up and down lines.

Accessible App - Meet Me
Hi All; I wanted to post about a very cool and accessible app called Meet Me. With it you can enter two locations and find places to meet in between. The app is 0.99 USD and I'll describe it in a bit more detail after the linkie! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meetme/id322956966?mt=8 To begin, I'm using this app with iOS 4 on an iPhone 4. When you start the app, you'll be on the screen to set both locations. By default 'Point A' will be selected, and you are presented with three ways to set this location. If you begin flicking right from the top left of the screen, you'll come to an unlabeled button followed by the words, 'Current Location.' This button sets your current location as point A. continuing to flick right, you'll come to another unlabeled button followed by the words, 'My Contacts.' this button opens your contacts in order for you to choose one for their address. Lastly, further flicking right will take you to a third unlabeled button followed by the words, 'Enter Location.' As its name implies, this button will allow you to enter a location manually. NOTE: While accessible, this dialogue is not super friendly in my opinion, as one needs to tap the 'return' key on the keyboard to enter the selection you just typed. Also, depending on the completeness of the address you enter, the app will automatically search for items matching what you've typed and then arbitrarily pick one that it thinks you want. So if you're not completely aware of the address you'd like to enter, I'd suggest that you might consider using Around Me (or some such app) first and then saving a POI as a contact and then using the 'My Contacts' option instead. Once you set Point A, you can run your finger across the bottom of the screen to find buttons for Point A and Point B among others. Double tapping Point B will then take you to a similar screen where you can make this setting. Once you've set both points, you can double tap the 'Places to Meet' button on the bottom of the screen, (next to the 'Point B' button) and a list of categories from which you can choose, will be shown. Choosing from this list will bring up another more detailed list of categories for the types of business in the main category. I.E. If you choose Restaurants, you can then choose from a really wide variety of cuisine types. Once you choose a more refined category, a list of actual businesses will be shown, and you can then double tap a listing to see all of its apropos info, including phone number and reviews etc. as well as to establish this as your meeting place. NOTE: as of this writing, VO reads the listings in reverse order, with the address being displayed first and the business name being displayed last. The app allows you to, among other things, send an email to your friends with a link to the destination you've decided upon with directions and info. I haven't delved into this app further than this at this point, so can't comment on any other features or access, but so far this is proving to be a really cool and usable app to have. In the listings of businesses you see, you're also given the distance from both point A and point b, so you can get an idea of whom your destination is closer to. Additionally, you can also set the radius of where you'd like to search for places to meet as well as which point you'd like to have them be closer to. I.E. if you'd like your listings to be closer to point B than point A, you can adjust your search results so your friends at point B won't need to travel as far. So, in summary, while access for some controls here is spotty in my opinion, (unlabeled buttons and such) this app is still very usable in my opinion, and is really, really very cool!… Hope you like!
