Fusion and stream companion

2010-09-25 Thread Chris Snyder
Hi guys, I'm having issues with VM fusion yet again. For some reason, I am 
having trouble connecting my stream to use with the stream companion software 
which sadly is only available on the PC side. I can use it on the Mac, but it 
doesn't have the kind of convenient features the stream companion software has. 
Anyone have any ideas why it won't connect? Thanks.

Re: Multiselections in iTunes.

2010-09-25 Thread Colin M
Hi Geoff!
Are you bringing your mouse cursor to your vo cursor, also Ester said if your 
list is long you can lock vo with vo+; then all you need do is go up and down 
with arrows and select with command space bar!
when you are done remember to take off vo lock by pressing ; again and then put 
cursor tracking back on, also someone said about interacting with the list 
after turning cursor tracking off!

Re: Get The Awareness App for Free!

2010-09-25 Thread Allison Manzino
Aloha Charlie,

THis ap lets you listen to the outside world around you while you are playing 
music through headphones. I didn't see mark's message about the codes, and just 
purchased this ap. It works well once you configure the settings. What a great 
little ap this is. Mark has a podcast on it as well. You can check it out at:
http://www.candleshoreblog.com

I am a new fan  of  Mark's podcasts and I am really enjoying them. He is a 
great podcaster. I hope I have helped you. Have a great day.

Cheerily,
Allison

Re: Fusion and stream companion

2010-09-25 Thread Chris Snyder
Hi Sarah,
For some reason, I can't get the stream itself to connect to the fusion side. 
I've tried doing it manually and also with the little fusion wizard that comes 
up. Neither one works. Since it isn't seen, the companion software can't see 
it. I'm hoping that I'm not the only one to have encountered this problem.

Friendly,
Chris

from loading on login because they have become a nuisance.

I was hoping that you could send applications to the doc, similar to the system 
tray in windows. I see a hide option in the menu of most applications, but this 
seems to be more similar to minimizing an application in windows since 
command-tab brings it right back up again. Am I correct that there is no way to 
do something like this, or am I just missing it?

Thanks,

Justin

RE: How To Get VoiceOver To Automatically Read Messages in Apple Mail

2010-09-25 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Sheree,

I use Alex and Heather on my Mac.  They are both globally available in the
OS.  

One has to purchase Heather.  

I am replying from my Windows 7 PC and cannot remember the name of the
company that makes Heather.  

I don't believe either Alex or Heather is available on the iPad but I don't
own an iPad so someone else will have to confirm that.

Re: Fusion and stream companion

2010-09-25 Thread Justin Ekis
Does your system have an SD card slot? I know for example that the MacBook does 
not while the MacBook pro does. If you have an SD slot then there is no reason 
to connect the stream to the computer. In fact, you will find that transfers go 
much faster if you just insert the card. There is a button in the fusion window 
to add the card reader to your virtual machine. 

If you do not have a SD slot, there are USB card readers that don't cost very 
much at all. For some reason, even using the card through one of these usb 
attachments seems to be much faster than connecting the stream. 

Hope this is helpful.

Justin

Windows 7 Installation through Fusion - Help Requested

2010-09-25 Thread Marketoe Day

Hello All:

When I purchased my iMac I immediately decided it would be necessary, if only 
for a time, to install Windows via Boot Camp or Fusion.  Based on much research 
and the collective wisdom gleamed from the group, I opted to acquire/install 
Fusion.  

One of the more salient factors in my decision to install via Fusion was 
everything I heard about the ease in which a blind computer user could 
independently perform the complete installation of Windows using Fusion.  This 
has not quite been the case for me.  First, with very limited vision, I 
struggled to find the product key required to commence the installation.  After 
several hours of utter frustration, I decided to contact Microsoft directly to 
solicit assistance in perhaps acquiring an alternate product key by phone.  
Subsequent to providing the Microsoft representative with my part and order 
numbers, a new product key was given to me.  Thank you Microsoft for the means 
of circumventing an otherwise inaccessible step in the installation process.  
For the benefit of anyone else needing similar assistance, contact Microsoft 
at: 1-800-642-7676.

I opened Fusion; chose the option to install a copy of Windows; selected to 
have my virtual machine be more isolated and then allowed the installation 
wizard to take over.  Having fallen asleep during the installation, I was 
awaken by what I thought was the sound of Windows starting.  Hurray! The 
process was successfully completed!  Hmmm, or perhaps it was not.

The virtual machine, running Windows 7 Professional, appears to be installed, 
but I am not able to move past what appears to be a Windows desktop screen.  
Furthermore, when I shut the virtual machine down and restart it, I do not hear 
anything from Windows, including the start-up tones.  I should note that I 
continue to receive a dialog box reminding me to install the virtual machine 
tools, which seems to be yet another problem because the install does not 
happen when I click the option for it to do so.

Have I done something wrong that has made my experience in installing Windows 
through Fusion more frustrating and seemingly less accessible than what I have 
heard regarding the experience of so many of you?  What would you recommend I 
do to enjoy greater success in the installation process?  Any guidance you 
could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Marketoe A. Day

Hi.

You need to delete your Virtual machine again and when re-installing again, 
choose seemless when it asks if if you want isolated or seemless.

Re: How To Get VoiceOver To Automatically Read Messages in Apple Mail

2010-09-25 Thread Anne Robertson
The company that makes Heather is Acapela and Heather comes with all the voice 
packs from Infovox iVox which can be purchased from AssistiveWare:
www.assistiveware.com

The Cepstral voices still do not work properly with VO.

The i devices can only use the voices preinstalled by Apple for VoiceOver. Some 
applications use Acapela voices, too.

Cheers,

Anne

iTunes on the mac - new user

2010-09-25 Thread Jenny Wood
Greetings all!  Okay, so I have been having loads of fun playing with  
and learning my new-to-me mac over the past week.  I have already  
learned some nifty little tips and tricks from this list as well, for  
which I am very appreciative, I assure you.
So today's project was getting my iPhone setup and successfully  
syncronized with iTunes on the mac.  After having downloaded and  
installed the latest update for iTunes, I proceeded to configure  
iTunes to sync my contacts, calendar, notes, apps, books and music.   
The apps were about the only thing I managed to get transfered over  
apparently.  While I haven't received any error messages indicating a  
problem, I am not finding the contacts and calendar entries that  
should have transfered over anywhere.  Am I correct in assuming they  
would go into the Addressbook and iCal on the mac?  My guess is, there  
is something important I am missing.  Furthermore, if anyone has any  
advice for transfering music that has not necessarily been purchased   
from the iTunes store from the phone into iTunes, I would be very  
grateful.
If this topic has been covered recently, please feel free to either  
write me privately, as not to clutter the list, or point me in the  
right direction for more in-depth assistance with iTunes, voiceover,  
etc.


Thanks!

Re: Windows 7 Installation through Fusion - Help Requested

2010-09-25 Thread David McLean
I suspect the installation didn't complete because you're still getting the 
message asking you to install Vmware tools.  That goes away after a successful 
install.  I'm not sure how to resume an install or whether it's even possible, 
perhaps someone else know that.  However my solution would be to start from 
scratch and give the image a new name and be sure it actually completes.  Once 
it does you can start narrator or even satogo to get speech.

Re: Windows 7 Installation through Fusion - Help Requested

2010-09-25 Thread Marketoe Day

David,

Based on a trusted/expert friend's advice and now yours, I deleted the previous 
virtual machine and created a new one.  However, this time around I opted to 
make the virtual machine more seamless.  The effect is I am able to get further 
in the process than before, but I have yet to achieve full success in 
installing and enjoying Windows 7.

When you state I can begin satogo after Windows is installed, what method of 
starting system access should I employ, particularly as there is no voice 
output at this point in the process?  Do I hit what would be the equivalent of 
the Windows key, press "R" for run and type www.satogo.com followed by enter?

Please forgive these questions if they seem to you or anyone else to be a bit 
elementary.  I only seek a positive resolution to this issue and tendering 
questions such as these is the only way I know to achieve the goal.

Thanks!
Marketoe A. Day

For the benefit of anyone else needing similar assistance, contact Microsoft

I opened Fusion; chose the option to install a copy of Windows; selected to 
have my virtual machine be more isolated and then allowed the installation 
wizard to take over.  Having fallen asleep during the installation, I was 
awaken by what I thought was the sound of Windows starting.  Hurray! The 
process was successfully completed!  Hmmm, or perhaps it was not.

The virtual machine, running Windows 7 Professional, appears to be 
installed, but I am not able to move past what appears to be a Windows desktop 
screen.  Furthermore, when I shut the virtual machine down and restart it, I do 
not hear anything from Windows, including the start-up tones.  I should note 
that I continue to receive a dialog box reminding me to install the virtual 
machine tools, which seems to be yet another problem because the install does 
not happen when I click the option for it to do so.

Have I done something wrong that has made my experience in installing 
Windows through Fusion more frustrating and seemingly less accessible than what 
I have heard regarding the experience of so many of you?  What would you 
recommend I do to enjoy greater success in the installation process?  Any 
guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

uninstalling programs that leave footprints

2010-09-25 Thread Chris Snyder
One of the best things about the mac is that generally, programs don't burry 
themselves deep in the system making it impossible to remove them.
I tried to uninstall fusion and do a clean install because the display drivers 
have been totally corrupted. It did not do a clean install. How do I get rid of 
anything it may have left behind in the system?

Friendly,
Chris

Yes you  tap the percentage next to the mic button. THat will increase the

Re: Get The Awareness App for Free!

2010-09-25 Thread Allison Manzino
Hi Charlie,

I forgot how to say hello in Hawaiian. When you are in the App store, you just 
search for Awareness. and VO  right arrow to search. YOu can double tap if you 
are on the Ipod or Iphone. It will say Headphone ap and have a little 
description. I hope that helps. I love downloading things from the Ap store. It 
will probably ask you for your password. You enter it, double tap to okay and 
and it will ask you to agree with the Itunes terms and conditions. I know most 
of you are probably wondering why I'm mentioning this. For one reason, this is 
because when it came up on the Iphone, I realized I had to swipe up twice till 
I came to the third page of the agreement. Then there is an agree button. I say 
this because I wouldn't wish you the same trouble I had. I hope this helps. 
Have a great day.

Oh, I am not in New York City, but half an hour away from it. It's nice to have 
the City so close.

Cheerily,
Allison

The new Twitter and the follow button with Safari

2010-09-25 Thread Lynn Schneider
Hi everyone.  While I typically manage my Twitter experience with clients, 
there are times when I do use the Twitter web site, mostly to follow people.  
Today, I attempted to use the new Twitter web interface and found that I was 
unable to click on the follow button in someone's profile.  I got the same 
results with every profile I tried to follow.  I was able to revert back to the 
old interface and my follow button was happily back and functional again, but I 
was wondering if anyone else out there who is using the new Twitter interface 
was having this issue also or if this is just some messed up setting on my end. 
 Any insights regarding this issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Lynn (Twitter name caneprints)

New ITunes, what do you all think?

2010-09-25 Thread Lynn Schneider
Well, I downloaded the new ITunes today.  There is a Ping sidebar that I had to 
hide.  I still can't use my VO-J to jump to the table.  Other than that, it 
seems like it is the same.  I would use Ping, but honestly, I'm up to my ears 
in social media these days and really don't want anymore. LOL.

Authenicating in Apple Mail

2010-09-25 Thread Marketoe Day

Each time I connect to Apple Mail I am prompted to enter the password 
associated with my imap account/user ID.  Normal computing behavior, right?  
However, if I wish to enter Apple Mail without having to always enter this 
information, is there a way to do so?

Additionally, while on the topic of Apple Mail, is there a way to identify the 
sender of a message when reviewing messages in thread mode with headers turned 
off?

Thanks!

Hi,
Just check the box for Mail to remember your password and it won't ask for user 
ID/Password anymore.

Re: New ITunes, what do you all think?

2010-09-25 Thread Ricardo Walker
I have noticed a few differences.  First, you can no longer press command R to 
show the iTem your on in the Finder.  Now you have to interact with the media 
table, bring up the context menu with VO shift M and arrow down to show in 
finder.  Pressing Command R now refreshes iTunes.  Girr!  I liked it the way it 
was before.  lol.  They have also brought back the LCD section.  This is a plus 
in my opinion.  Those are the things I've noticed so far.

Jeffrey,

Thanks for the direction.  However, there does not appear to be an option to 
discontinue my Kerberos authentication password request by checking/unchecking 
an option to do so.  This may be a safeguard I will simply have to come to 
appreciate/tolerate.

Re: Authenicating in Apple Mail

2010-09-25 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Is your iMap account through your ISP or through your employer?  I've not seen 
iMap like GMail have Kerberos issues.  That's not normal behaviour.  I agree 
with Jeffrey's suggestion to take a look in your Account settings within Mail 
preferences.  Some iMap accounts require SSL which, when configured 
appropriately, will fix that sort of issue.

HTH.

Help with Fission.

2010-09-25 Thread lists
Hey folks. About 2 years ago, I bought fission. While I think it's a great 
program, I have some basic questions.

1. How do you crop silence from start and end from a file? I couldn't seem to 
find an easy solution for that.

2. How do you make the play head jump back to the selection every time stop is 
pressed? As one who edits in soundforge, pro tools, etc, I want to hit play, 
hear my selection, and be able to re listen to that spot as I make changes. 
What happens now is that play acts as pause and keeps the play head in the same 
spot. THis makes it really hard to edit clips out of songs for making ring 
tones and such. Anyone have any easy solutions on how to best efficiently 
perform these tasks? Any other tips on how to more efficiently use Fission, or 
should I look at another editing solution? Thanks so much.

Kevin

Re: Help with Fission.

2010-09-25 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Kevin,

You asked:

> 1. How do you crop silence from start and end from a file? I couldn't seem to 
> find an easy solution for that.

Answer:  There is no automated way as far as I can tell.  The method I use is 
to listen and determine where the sound begins, split the clip at that location 
(cmd-t), select the previous or next clip (cmd-[ or cmd-]) depending on what 
needs cropped then once the selection is made, pressing cmd-k to Crop it.  A 
little cumbersome but workable.

Answer:  You need to first be interacting with the playhead area which is just 
one VO-right arrow past the Toolbar.  When in this area you can press cmd-left 
arrow to take you to the beginning or cmd-right arrow to take you to the end of 
the selection.  Holding down the option key instead of the command key moves in 
very small increments. Press cmd-[ or cmd-] to play a little snippet of the 
beginning or end respectively.

There is a menu-item for selecting a certain area but it doesn't seem to be 
accessible.  I'll write to the developers about that as they are quite good at 
making things work in an accessible way.

HTH.

Re: timer app on mac

2010-09-25 Thread Justin Ekis
Hi Kevin,

I'm not sure about the original question about a timer or stopwatch, but you 
also mentioned wanting an alarm clock. I think I recently found a good one.
The program is aurora, and the web site is  
http://www.metakine.com/products/aurora/
There's a 14 day trial, and then the price is $14.95. I'm glad I went to look 
this up for you, or I would have been very surprised in a couple days when the 
alarm didn't go off.. I didn't notice that this was shareware. LOL.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, this program depends on your iTunes library. It 
plays music from your library as the alarm. The volume can be set at a 
particular level, or it can gradually raise it until you get up or until it 
reaches the maximum. That's a very nice motivator for me when I'd rather not 
get up.

I hope you find this useful.

Justin

installs into the menu bar to be visible. Any thoughts on this?
