Re: itunes and a lot of mp3 files
Hi Sarah, I've been trying but I don't succeed. Could you be more verbose please? I opened itunes, but found command i to do nothing. I went through the menus, but command i is get info and it is grayed out. I reread your message and you said that you selected the files before pressing command i.

backup solution question
Hi all, I am now using super duper as my mac backup utility. Mike Arrigo demonstrated it in his podcast series somewhere. I bought it and I'm very happy with what it can do. However, some of you on this list use carbon copy cloner. Does any of you know an advantage of using carbon copy cloner, as opposed to super duper? Interested to know.

Re: backup solution question
You can make a bootable image of your hard drive with carbon copy cloner. I can find several advantages to this. For example, you can make this and boot in to your os with your settings from a school mac and eject your drive when you are done. Take care.

Re: a few new mac questions
MJ, I am going to assume that you are referring to switching the function keys to perform software functions instead of hardware functions. If that is the case, you will find this setting in System Preferences, keyboard, and look for the following: "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys (x) checkbox." Once you check this box, your function keys will work properly with VOiceOver. Btw, you can access the hardware functions of those keys by holding down the fn key which is to the left of the control key. hth, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: itunes and a lot of mp3 files
Hi Paul, When you have some audio-cd with audiotracks, first you need to import them in the format you prefer. You can find this setting in the preferences menu. After importing all this cd's , go to the folder in your sourceless named: recently added. There you will see all your tracks. I hope that they are put in a alphabetical order equivalent to the order of the book. if so, select all this files with shift (+vo)+ arrow up/down. Then, press command+i and go to tabcontrol: options. There you can set: audiobook, play this files yes/no in shufflemode, take all this tracks together while playing. I hope also for you that this procedure will work with itunes 10. Like I posted yesterday , Itunes 10 seems to be less compatible with vo. The add to itunes as a spoken track , seems not to work anymore. good luck, best regards, William Op 4-sep-2010, om 10:28 heeft Paul Erkens het volgende geschreven: > Hi Sarah, > > I've been trying but I don't succeed.

You can set up to five different voices and you can switch from one to another on the fly. There is also an undocumented feature which allows you to put tags into the text of a document that will cause GhostReader to switch to a particular voice as it reads. In this way, for instance, you can have a different voice for each character in a play. GhostReader has controls for: Play, Pause/Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Jump to beginning of sentence, Skip sentence, Jump to beginning of paragraph, Skip paragraph, Read Selected Text, and Close Reader Window. You can use GhostReader to read any document in real time, or have the document turned into a sound file or iTunes track. For anyone purchasing Infovox iVox voices, GhostReader can be added to the purchase for an extra €10 making it a very worthwhile purchase. The GhostReader keyboard shortcuts are system wide, so you can control GhostReader from within another application. This is particularly useful if you are using GhostReader to read instructions on how to do something in another application. I always advise people who are buying Infovox iVox voices to buy GhostReader at the same time, the extra €10 are very well spent.

Re: Funny Issue with Mail
Sure, what is the address top level domain you're sending from. Is this your own mail server, do the reverse and forward records in DNS match? Is there a PTR record present for your mail server if it's your own? One possibility is that the mail server your writing from isn't properly configured and or set up correctly in DNS and the target mail server where your writing to is configured to reject mail thinking it's a spam source and it may not allow the message to transfer at all. It's part of the standard ruleset in sendmail. Are you certain your mail server is picking up the message, the message moves from the outbox to the sent folder? Give us a little background on your source address / mail server and maybe we can provide somep ointers. Just an idea I could be way off, it could be a mail program issue but that seems like likely. I am very very new to Apple mail though so take what I say with a grain of sault. I've been working on mail transfer agents for a solid 20 years though so I've seen this type of behavior with misconfigured mail servers.

At least where I work which is a medium sized company of about 500 employees or so there was no resistance at all. We already did have a relationship with Apple but when I pointed out how accessibility was included and universal access was part of apple's thinking they jumped on it.

Re: Funny Issue with Mail
Justin, I have had this problem before and still do from time to time. I have narrowed it down to something that may have nothing to do at all with Apple Mail, but here is how I live with the problem which I have thus far been unable to solve: For several days, work colleagues were not getting my mail though I was sending it to them and nothing was ever bounced back. It turned out in my case that when I changed my ISP, the headache went away. I still have the same annoying problem with certain addresses whenever I use my mobile Internet broadband connection. Strangely enough, I can't send messages to other people who are using the same Internet mobile broadband ISP. I have never figured out the solution; I have just learned to live with it. If I need to make good and sure that someone is going to get the message, I use the ISP's webmail interface to send the note. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Work around fix for non-working Automator workflows in iTunes 10 [was Re: add to itunes as a spoken track with itunes 10]
Hi William, There's a work around for the problem of workflows, such as adding to iTunes as a spoken track, no longer working in iTunes 10. The issue is that Automator workflows may check the version of iTunes before running workflow actions to make sure that features used are supported. Because numbers in versions appear in alphabetical sort order, version 10.0 of iTunes is being treated as a number that is smaller (e.g. earlier) than version 9.0 of iTunes, and Automator is rejecting the use of some workflow actions with the new version 10.0 of iTunes. The temporary fix is to edit the property list for the workflow and either change the version string that is being checked from "4.6" to "0" or to delete the lines that check the version entirely. Here's the link to the article in Mac OS X Hints: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100903004553923 (Get Automator working again in iTunes 10 by chrischram September 03, 2010) As has been already reported in Macworld, Automator actions that talk to iTunes all broke upon the release of iTunes 10.0. This is because each action specifies in a text string in its Info.plist file that it requires iTunes version 4.6 or higher, and alphabetically, '10.0' is smaller than '4.6.' I frequently use 'Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track' (activated in System Preferences » Keyboard » Services). Here is how I got it working again. 'Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track.workflow' is found in /System/Library/ Services. Navigate to that location and double-click the workflow file. Don't Panic! We are not going to modify this file; we're just looking for error messages when it's opened in Automator. Automator complains that the actions 'Import Audio Files' and 'Add Songs to Playlist' could not be loaded because the application iTunes is the wrong version. Navigate to /System/Library/Automator. WARNING: Do not modify files found under /System! Copy 'Import Audio File.action' and 'Add Songs to Playlist.action' to a convenient location in your User area. After copying, right-click on one of those files and select 'Show Package Contents.' Inside the package you will find a Contents folder within which is an Info.plist file. Open this file in your favorite text editor. Look for a section of text that looks something like this: Display Name iTunes Resource com.apple.iTunes Type application Version 4.6 Delete the 'Version' line and the '4.6' line (the last two lines in the dict entry). Save. Repeat this process for the other action file. Launch Automator. Select File » Import Actions... and choose the actions you just modified. These modified actions will be placed in ~/ Library/Automator. You may want to color-label them so that they can be removed if/when Apple fixes this problem. You probably will want to log out/log back in to get your workflow working. This process should work for any iTunes-related Automator action that broke when iTunes 10.0 was released. Disclaimer: I haven't updated to iTunes 10, but to fix the 'Import Audio Files.action' and 'Add Songs to Playlist.action' files based on the above description, I'd probably try something like this: 1. To navigate to the /System/Library/Automator folder, in Finder, press Command-Shift-G (for "Go to folder"), then either type or paste in: /System/Library/Automator/ into the text box of the dialog window and press return. 2. Navigate to the action you want to copy, e.g. VO-Right arrow to the table of file actions and interact (VO-Shift-Down arrow), then press "i m p" to go to "Import Audio File.action". (I'm usually using list view for Finder here -- this option is Commmand-2). 3. Copy "Import Audio File.action" with Command-C. I'd simply open a new Finder window with Command-N and navigate to the user location folder I wanted to place these actions to work in and paste with Command-V. Then I would use Command-accent to switch back to the first Finder window set to the /System/Library/Automator/ folder and navigate to "Add Songs to Playlist.action". 4. Copy "Add Songs to Playlist.action" with Command-C, switch to the second Finder window with Command-accent, and paste the action into the user folder of your choice with Command-V. 5. To modify the Info.plist files for each action, bring up the context menu (VO-Shift-M), arrow down to "Show Package Contents", and press return. Use VO-backslash to expand the Contents folder or, for non-English input keyboards, press VO-H twice to bring up the commands menu and arrow down to "Toggle Disclosure Triangle" and press return. 6. Navigate to the Info.plist file and use the context menu (VO-Shift- M) to choose "Open with", return, and then select "TextEdit" from the list of "Other" options. 7. Use Command-F to find, and type "resources", then return. The version lines you want to delete are in the section f
had to restart on Macbook, but not on Imac
My Macbook and Imac both run Mac OS 10.6.4. When I ran Software Update to get the new release of Itunes, my Macbook needed to be restarted to finish the update. My Imac did not need to be restarted. That is not a problem, but I just thought it was weird that the update behaved differently on one computer than the other. Why would this be?

Ryan, are you sure there was not another update you may have missed in the table? Just before iTunes there was a security update.

Re: a few new mac questions
You can use the hardware keys, but unless your using a keyboard that does not have a fn key, you won't have this problem. Keep in mind if you do not have a fn key, your going to have to either reach to the machine to perform this task (i.e. if you have an external keyboard with a notebook) or constantly go into System Preferences and toggle the setting. SO, solution, don't use a keyboard without a fn key. :) On Sep 4, 2010, at 11:32 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > Just out of curiosity, what do you do if you don't have an fn key?

Re: backup solution question
I might just add that Carbonite is another option as well. I believe they have a Mac offering, if not someone please correct me. I know the Windows side is accessible. The advantage is offsite backup. Regardless of the solution you use offsite backup is important. Even something as simple as backing up to an external disk and leaving that disk at work or in your safety deposit box, mothers house, somewhere other than onsite with you. I'm not saying buy some super expensive solution lke Iron Mountain but keeping a disk offsite is critical even if it means you have a way to restore your data after your devices at your home location are stolen or damaged. Something to consider. On Sep 4, 2010, at 4:33 AM, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi all, > > I am now using super duper as my mac backup utility. Mike Arrigo demonstrated > it in his podcast series somewhere.

Re: Funny Issue with Mail
The problem is your provider probably hosts spamming customers so their IP ranges end up in black lists. Spam Haus is a good example of these services that track spam based on IP addresses. Also note if you run your own SMTP mail server on mobile IP space or space that's known and recorded with ARIN as remote access ranges you'll automatically be included in some blacklists. Not everyone uses these services but many companies use comercial antispam solutions that grab a lot of this data to build their rules sets. I'm absolutely certain from the several messages on this thread that I've seen so far that your experiencing some variation on this theme.

If this post seems frantic and confusing that's because that's about how I feel about my poor mbp. If anyone knows how I can begin to sort this out, or revert to iTunes 9-whatever, please help. This thing's so fried I've resorted to my old faithful Dell, on which I declined the update. Please help!!! And thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: Funny Issue with Mail
Scott, To be honest, a lot of what your asking is a little beyond me. I have my Gmail account setup, and I'm assuming it was done right, as most of my messages are getting sent out. So far, all I know is that the message is being registered as being sent out, as the e-mail is moved to the sent folder. The mail program also makes the nifty airplane noise to indicate that the message is on its way out. I've tried sending messages from 2 different networks, one in New York and one in Virginia, and have gotten the same result. After reading some of the experiences that others have had, I'm going to go ahead and send messages from the actual Gmail website as that doesn't cause any issues. Thanks so much for the response and for the info.

Re: What have we done? Please help
Hate to say this, but, it sounds to me like you might want to revert to one of your time machine backups; or else, barring that, do a re-installation of your OS. When I downloaded ITunes 10.0, I had no issues at al. VO still working fine for me. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! A Very Proud and Happy Mac User!!!

editing on a bluetooth keyboard.
Hey I can't remember if I sent this message or dreamt I did but I am having trouble editing with my bt keyboard on my iphone. I read a line and it will partially read it that is miss words. Also I'll sometimes read and it will act like there is no space between words, for example between punctuation. This is making editing a bit of a chore. Any suggestions would be grateful. Take care.

Re: editing on a bluetooth keyboard.
Hi Sarah: Until the os with the vo commands for keyboard comes out, I've found it a little cumbersome but very doable to edit just using arrow keys. Fortunately, iPhone messages tend to be short, so, it usually works out ok to do that. Not very helpful, I guess. But, that's what I've done.

getting the mac to recognize an sd card
Hi Mac Family: Ok, now that Alex has settled down a bit, I have a question, as the subject reflects. I'm putting a new sd card into the card reader, which I want to use to download books for use with the Victor Reader Stream. The Mac doesn't even appear to see a card. Is there some way to locate and/or format it so I can put books on it? TIA for any help. Carolyn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

windfall
Cheree Heppe here: Just to prove that amazing things do happen to people, I won an IPad in a contest. I took the IPad to the Mac Store in Portland, Oregon for some assistance operating it and getting it started in VoiceOver, and have made tremendous progress using it and in synching the IPad with my NetBook. It amazes me that my NetBook, the wireless keyboard and the IPad all fit into this little Columbia Sports bag that might in an earlier day held make-up. The guys at the Portland, Oregon store invite any blind person in the area to come and investigate Apple computers and IPads. They said they will show people how to operate the devices and let people play and learn. The Apple Corporate store is also very helpful, but the Mac Store has more one on one availability, at least at this point. That IPad now has every bit of music I ever put on my NetBook, quite a few Gigs worth, it turns out and is playing the whole lot, making very interesting juxtapositions. The Mac Store sells a wider variety of accessories for Apple products than the Corporate store. I found a lovely leather case for the IPad. The case looks like a leather book or folio that, if you didn't look too closely at the "pages," would seem to have fallen right out of the sixteenth or seventeenth century library in some noble house. They also sell a stand that looks like nothing so much as a modern book stand, like what old dictionaries and such sit upon. This stand is lightweight metal, gray, not packable in my little Columbia bag and more of a desk item, but multi-positionable from mirror-type vertical to table-top flatness, great for all of our tapping and swishing gestures. This stand would be great for elevating the IPad at a table where people were eating, preventing the device from being on the level of the plates and glasses. It would be lovely positioned in a kitchen for quickly looking up the weather or recipes or playing music, but as long as I have a teenager in this house, that's where it's never going.

Hi Sarah, I gather you did this on the Mac? Do you see digit-eyes in your list under the apps tab? If so it should synchronize to your phone the next time you attach it.

Hmm this gets stranger. I saw the app in the apps store and it was 800 kb or so. I never heard that ding when it downloaded. 'm trying to sync my phone.
