Re: Safari Plugin for Mp3 Playbaack?
Hi Teresa, If you have an mp3 in finder and you want to play it, without itunes or another big media lion, just hit space on the file and it will come up in preview. You can't rewind, but if hearing what it is, is all you want, then preview is good enough. Hope this is what you were trying to do. - Original Message - From: "Teresa Cochran" To: Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2010 10:35 PM Subject: Safari Plugin for Mp3 Playbaack?

Re: Safari Plugin for Mp3 Playbaack?
Hi, Actually, you can rewind by moving the percent slider that shows up when using Quick Look. Just adding to it. I don't know of any good plug-ins, however Webkit has a different player than the original Safari. You might want to try it. I think it works nicely.

Re: safari bookmarks
Hi Paul, Ricardo has given you the quick answer to using bookmarks. You can read a more detailed description about general navigation of your bookmarks in my archived post: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg21962.html (Re: moving and deleting bookmarks) I'll just briefly remark here that there is a general page for your bookmarks that you access with Command-Option-B, which is the shortcut for the "Show All Bookmarks" entry in Safari's Bookmarks menu. You'll greatly simplify your navigation of that page, and improve your understanding of its organization if you first hide your toolbar, bookmarks bar, and tab bar -- all options that toggle between show and hide with shortcuts listed in the View Menu on the menu bar (Command- Shift-Backslash, Command-Shift-B, Command-Shift-T). At that point, after you interact with the scroll area, pressing tab will move you between three areas: a table of different collections of bookmarks such as your navigation history, your Bookmarks Bar, your Bookmarks Menu, and any folders you may have created to organize your bookmarks on this page; a search text field that you can also move to directly with Command-F, and a table listing individual bookmarks in your selected bookmark collection by bookmark name and address. The general action will be to interact with the table of collections and select a bookmark collection or folder and then to tab to the table listing the individual bookmark entries and interact, then navigate to the bookmark of interest and activate it by pressing space bar. You can also reduce the list of entries to navigate through in that second table by using the search field to type in Bookmark names or parts of bookmark names, and then only matching entries will be shown in the second table. The usual navigation options of typing the first few letters in the name of a bookmark to move to it and/or using your up and down arrow keys will work here. There are also context menu options for editing bookmark name or address, copying or deleting, etc. As Ricardo mentioned, the first nine bookmarks saved to the Bookmarks Bar on your Bookmarks page have the special property that they can be launched by pressing the Command key together with the number of the bookmark. (You can hide your bookmarks bar and still activate the first nine bookmarks by pressing Command and the number from 1 to 9 for the bookmark you want.) However, note that whenever you save a new bookmark to the Bookmarks Bar, it becomes bookmark number 1, and displaces the previous first bookmark, which is now number 2, etc. HTH.

Re: Keyboard issues with fusion, suggestions? How do I get F9 through F 12 keys in windows?
Hi, I'm not sure whether Kimberly got her answer to how to get keys F9 through F12 for use in Fusion, but the issue is that the Mac makes a default hardware assignment for these keys, with keys F9, F10, and F11 used as shortcuts for Exposé, and F12 used to bring up the dashboard for widgets. I can't imagine any visually impaired user wanting to use Exposé -- which is basically a visual analog to the window switcher menus that we use where your entire desktop is turned into various icon views of windows. You might use the F12 Dashboard shortcut, but you could also just navigate to your dock (with VO-D or Control-F3) and launch dashboard from there. You'll need to turn off these Exposé and Dashboard key definitions in System Preferences -- either under keyboard shortcuts or Exposé and Spaces. For more details, see this archived post: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg08197.html (What is Exposé, and how to use its assigned keys in Fusion) HTH.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Hi Andy, I think all it shows is that the transition is a little harder than it looks. In this case, Scott could use exchange in apple mail, but that assumes that all of his other settings have been imported properly, that mail is set up to his tastes, and that he has the time to learn how to set up exchange. Eventually his vm will bog down, and he'll have a free sunday afternoon to set up mail the way he wants it, and there will be one less use for his virtual machine. Until then, it's much more easy and comfortable to fall back on what he knows, and since he's using it for work and productivity is an issue, it isn't necessarily bad to do the easiest most expedient thing. That doesn't mean his mac is less accessible, or that it doesn't do a good job of exchange. Best, Erik Burggraaf Check out my first ever podcast tutorial, Learn braille using the braille box.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Hello Andy, Not everyone has to use Windows at all. I work as a freelance translator and use the Mac exclusively. I use Pages to read and produce Word documents, and Keynote to read and produce PowerPoint presentations. For scanning books, etc I use VueScan, and Abbyy FineReader Express to perform the OCR. I use both English and French and can switch from one to the other in a trice. Never having used Windows, I feel no need to start now, especially since I can accomplish everything I need to with my Mac.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
I agree. I use windows for broadcasting and some games that cannot be, and are not ported to mac. but I use the mac for everything else including making show notes for said broadcast, podcasting, submitting scholarship applications, essays for class and more. The switch is hard but doable if the user is patient.

audio recording on the mac
I am a Windows user who recently decided to try switching to a Mac. I don't yet have the new Mac computer, but I thought I'd ask a few questions regardless. On windows, there exists many audio recording solutions (many of them inaccessible to JAWS). I have been using Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 Producer with the CateTalking scripts from Dancing Dots. It is an amazing, if expensive, solution and I have had few problems with it thus far. Is there currently any accessible recording software that roughly paralleles the features found in Sonar? I am aware that Mac can run the famous ProTools software, but my research says that that is still inaccessible. I still have a PC around on which I can continue recording projects, and I plan to use Bootcamp to install and run Windows on the Mac, should I ever need it. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Smiles:) Robert Hooper -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Andy, I couldn't disagree more. The Mac does most things better than windows / JFW. I wouldn't switch back and honestly find it a much more serious computing environment. For a technical professional especially someone in IT or serious network / systems engineering windows just doesn't get it done for me anymore.

Re: audio recording on the mac
Your research is in error. Pto-Tools is now accessible on the Mac. It's version 8.4. Is it perfect? No, but, it certainly is possible to use it. YOu need a control surface to use it. Now, if you don't really need the top of the line, amadeus Pro will do quite nicely. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! A Very Proud and Happy Mac User!!!

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Erik, I couldn't agree more. Having the VM is a great tool for migration. I am already finding I fire it up and use it less and less. I'll figure out the mail sooner than later and go with open office or IWork if it comes down to it. My goal is to drop Windows entirely and uaving it available in a VM player is a wonderful way to slowly migrate off. Also, having the ability to run other images is very valuable.

Re: Accessible software with VO
Hi Corey! Your Mac mini should already be able to rip audio cds and I think dvds as well, or though I've never done a dvd! You can set it up on system preferences under cds\dvds and then in Itunes preferences you can set up how Itunes imports your music! IE: acc or mp3 or others! I don't know if there is an equivalent in Idvd!! You can set Itunes to in port an cd then eject the disc when its done! as far as other vo software goes sorry I don't know either!! Also I could not help you with dropbox I don't use it and would not know anything about it!

You wrote: > "2, optionally tab over to the check boxes which say contents, file name, > reverse their settings by pressing space on both of them," What does pressing Space accomplish, and why does this reverse anything?

RE: reading tables in pages
Hello everyone. Actually tables can be read in Pages if they are created in the layout area. To do this, insert the table, set the number of rows and columns and then hide the inspector. Tables show up as objects in the layout area and they can be read and edited. It's not perfect but it works. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Anne Robertson Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 1:31 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: reading tables in pages Hello Greg, Currently, you can't read tables in Pages.

RE: reading tables in pages
Try moving to the layout area and see if you can read tables. You can read tables created in Pages. I'm not sure if you can read word tables. I know that pages tables are objects in word documents and are not accessible. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg Aikens Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 8:59 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: reading tables in pages Hello all, I am having trouble reading tables using pages.

Re: Keyboard issues with fusion, suggestions? How do I get F9 through F 12 keys in windows?
Hi Kawal and all. The sharp keys pointer was excellent. I have a jaws key now under Fusion using the ` key mapped to the capslock. This looks like a powerful tool. As a side note, my coworker and I remapped the m and n on my bosses keyboard, hahahahaha.

Sharp Keys has two lists with all the keys possibly on a keyboard listed. You can move through all the controls with tab and shift tab. The first thing you do is find the add button. Enter or space on this. The two lists will then be presented. You arrow down the first list until you find the key you want to map to the key you will arrow down and find in the next list. When you have these chosen, press the OK button. You will then be placed back in the dialog where your first selection will be presented, along with the add button you previously used, a delete button and a button that says something like save to registry. In order to map another key, you press the add button and do the mapping step again followed by OK. When you have finished mapping all the keys you wish, press the save to registry button and you will be prompted to restart your computer for these to take effect. Here's a suggestion for mapping of keys that will cause the accent key, left of number 1, to become your insert key and will put your alt keys and windows key in the correct places on the left. You will also have an applications key to the right of the space bar. I can't remember whether it ends up being the one closest to the space bar or the key further to the right. Below are the mapping instructions Kawal posted here a couple of days ago, which resulted in the above.

When you have done selecting scroll all the way to the left and press close button or I think you can do command -w as well!

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Hi Scott, you are taking my exact path to the mac, so it's the voice of experience talking, smiles. It took me 6 months to a year before I was switched over. I virtualised my windows and backed up all the programs and settings I'd acquired over the years in my VM. Then every once in a while, I'd get assed opening my vm to do some menial computer chore and go, "ah the hell with it, I'll just spend half an hour to an hour looking up a good program for this that or the other thing, and never have to worry about it again". It took a long time to chip my windows reliance down, especially since I have to teach windows and will very soon have a win7 virtual machine here for testing purposes, but it was worth the time and effort. Now I fly around the mac, and as far as I know, I'm the best mac trainer in the province. That hasn't hurt me any. These days I am drooling over the possibility of IPal being released for the mac. At that point I think I could very happily shred my virtual machines and have a lot of electronic confetti for the new years eve lan party, except of course that I still need to teach windows.

Currently, my music files open in a huge playlist I have set up in Itunes, and I don't want it to play merrily along once my file is done Thanks, Teresa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Hey Erik, I've been a Mac user for about five years and I finally got my employer to allow me the ability to have a Mac with a WIndows VM. Now they know they will never get me to switch back. I still have to use Windows because of compatibility with certain web applications, but my hope is this will change as well and yes, I am forced to still use Word, Excel, and Power Point because they have not yet gotten iWorks for me. One thing at a time, but hey the big step was achieved and now they will allow anyone who wants a Mac to have a VM as well. Btw, IPal? That sounds familiar, but cannot recall what that is exactly.

Re: MOving to the bottom or top of a document in Text Edit
Hi Kimberly, Use Command+Up arrow and Command+Down arrow to move to the beginning and end of Text Edit documents. These are built-in Mac shortcuts for all Cocoa Apps (which covers most Mac applications). For more detalis on other commands for moving by lines, words, etc., read through this archived post about moving and selecting in Cocoa apps: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg02038.html On laptop Macs you can also page up and down with Fn+Up and Down arrow.

Re: MOving to the bottom or top of a document in Text Edit
Hello Kimberly, To make the VO commands work in TextEdit, you have to interact with the text area. It is advisable to do this anyway, as it gives you access to useful commands such as reading by sentence, paragraph, from current position, etc. Cheers, Anne On 31 Aug 2010, at 23:10, Kimberly thurman wrote: > Hi Folks: > > As the subject line says, this is what I need a fool proof method to > accomplish.

You knw what else is nice about using a VM is that I can back up the whole image file and restore easily with out having to worry about jfw installations etc. We use VMWare extensively at work so it's nice to be using that on the desk top now.

Ester, thanks so much! Once again you amaze and astonish us with your knowledge of the Mac. I always read your posts, even if I'm not particularly interested in the subject.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Laughs, scott, Iwork is cheeper than VMware fusion unless you can catch one of their big discount sales. They could boost your productivity with not much effort at all, but I know the gears grind slowly. Hopefully you don't have to wait five years for Iwork. IPal is the big new line of digital camera based OCR thingies. What we're talking about here is a camera on a trypod, connected to your mac via usb. You put your book or paper under the camera and push the button, then software on your mac converts the image to text and reads it aloud for you. It's been a going concern on the windows side for about a year, and I've been hearing vague roomers that it's coming to the mac. When it does, I am there.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively and the age old question of Windows versus Mac again
Well, I have windows running under fusion on my Mac, but most of the time, I find myself not needing it for much. I think I really bothered installing it as a security blanket in case I need to write a paper in MS Word. Actually, I just boot it up occasionally to make sure it's still there. LOL!!! Occasionally I find internet explorer works better for some things. Choices, that's what it's all about.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Well the lucky thing is we have every software package you can think of in the cabinet next to me so I can install what ever. I'm just trying to get familiar I'm already spending less and less time in Windows which can only be described as a good thing. I'm surprised office isn't natively accessible but it's not a huge deal. Any time I can use a product besides an MS product is a good day.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
I thought there were some fairly serious drawbacks to how VO works with Open Office. Something about paragraphs and each line having to be interacted with or some such? Can't remember. It sounded like a mess. there comes a point when efficient access is what is wanted. some things might be technically usable if you jump through hoops. but how many hoops before you say nuts and just go back to what works without the hoops? If Apple fixes the Word table issue with pages, that seems like a better solution, even though it costs, and Open Office is free. mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

webkit weirdness with new windows
I downloaded the latest webkit today when prompted. And I find that when I access a link that wants to open a new window, such as the link that will download an audible book or the link for subchannels in accuradio, the window will not open and the action that should start doesn't , e.g. no downloaded books. Safari still works, thank goodness. But I can't imagine what could have changed in webkit. Has anybody noticed this problem?

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Agreed, I find the open office word processor useable, but highly inelegant. I'd be lost without the open office spreaddsheet application though. That thing drives my business along with the calendar in my windows mobile phone. I'd be lost without it. So, I'm hoping an update will magically render the word processing application beautiful to the voiceover eye.

Re: audio recording on the mac
Having used ProTools quite successfully to fully record, edit and mix a five piece rock band, I'd say it's quite accessible. ProTools can come in two flavours. ProTools LE is for project studios and has a limited number of tracks that can be hears simultaneously while recording. ProTools HD records at higher sampling frequencies and is geared towards pro studios, sound for picture and is much more flexible. You'll need to be a pretty savvy VO user to navigate ProTools (at least, I ended up using quite a few hotspots and short(er) cuts). If you're using your interface gear from your SONAR rig, you'll need to swap it out for ProTools compatible hardware. For ProTools LE, an M-Box or M-Box Pro should be sufficient for project/demo work. Your mileage will vary.

Re: audio recording on the mac
Hi I heard that you can use pro tools to clean up recordings if this is true will I need any extra harware? I just have a macbook and I tried to go through the digisign website and all I got was incredibly overwilming information much much more than I wanted to know I just wanted to know what the system requirements were and what I would need, if anything else to do what I want to do with it but I couldn't seem to find the information I want, so would any one be able to answer these questions? Thanks - Original Message - From: "Kevin Shaw" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 7:11 PM Subject: Re: audio recording on the mac Having used ProTools quite successfully to fully record, edit and mix a five piece rock band, I'd say it's quite accessible. ProTools can come in two flavours. ProTools LE is for project studios and has a limited number of tracks that can be hears simultaneously while recording. ProTools HD records at higher sampling frequencies and is geared towards pro studios, sound for picture and is much more flexible. You'll need to be a pretty savvy VO user to navigate ProTools (at least, I ended up using quite a few hotspots and short(er) cuts). If you're using your interface gear from your SONAR rig, you'll need to swap it out for ProTools compatible hardware. For ProTools LE, an M-Box or M-Box Pro should be sufficient for project/demo work. Your mileage will vary.

Deleting MSN service in IM+ Pro
Hi All. I bought IM+ last FRiday and wish to delete my MSN account due to me getting a Jabber account so I can import all my MSN contacts as I'm going to use Ichat on the Mac and use Jabber too on my Iphone 4 hence me wishing to delete the MSN account on my IM+ Pro. I have been through all the options in IM+ Pro but can't find how to delete my MSN account. I can switch that account off though. However, if I were to delete IM+ and download it again, would I be charged as I only bought the App on Friday. Hope someone can help. I'm copying this to the Macvisionary list in case anyone wants to do the same. Kawal.

Re: fine-tuning a Spotlight search
Smile, you raise an interesting point. I hadn't thought of finding folders, though I have no objection to doing so. Let me play with that one. As for my optional step 2, it so happens that by default, Finder is looking inside each file to find a match for the text you specify. That's all well and good if that's what you want. But I think we are after file names. so pressing space on the first check box switches off searching for file content, that is, stuff inside the file, and pressing space on the next check box switches on file names, that is, your search text will match with file names only.

A Few iPad Questions
HI All, As a new iPad user, I have a few issues initially I'm hoping you can address. First, I'm looking for a carrying case. the cases I've seen are sleeves with no handles. I heard that there might be cases on-line, according to an Apple Store rep, but I haven't found any yet. Secondly, it appears that regardless of where I tap on the screen, the apps are identified by VO. Finding the status icons is also difficult to locate. I thought that the apps were in a certain location, with the dock at the bottom of the screen? Is there a way to lock the location of information on the screen? I thought I had a third question, but will have to send later if and when I recall it! Thanks for the assist.
