RE: Teaching Mac to sighted people

2010-10-22 Thread Simon Fogarty

Hi Esthre,

 I've tried this on both the mac and my windows 7 machines and I get similar
things happening.
 I don't have trouble clicking the continue button, it just wont go  to the
following / final review order page. And I can't figureout why.
 It's like I've got something wrong or missing, but I can't find anything
after going throughthe entire page link by link and edit box by edit box.

 I'm starting to question whether or not my NZ credit card can actually work
on this site.
 Do they allow for international purchases.

Hi Simon,

When you have entered your credit card information, route your mouse to the
"Continue" button (with VO-Command-F5, if you do not have your mouse cursor
set to track your VoiceOver cursor) and use VO-Shift- Space to click the
button.  You'll be taken to a "Confirm Order" page which should contain your
STANZACAT discount, if you entered the coupon code earlier.  Click the
"Finish Order" button to complete your transaction.

If you ever encounter a situation where a button press does not seem to
"take" with VO-Space, try clicking the button. Technically, VO- Space should
perform the default action for any situation, which in this case is to click
the button. There are some cases where VO-Shift- Space (which I refer to as
a "software click") does not work, but where clicking with your trackpad or
mouse button ("hardware clicks") will work.  Remember to first route your
mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor before you press your trackpad key (or
the whole trackpad in recent MacBook models) or mouse button to click, if
you have not set your mouse cursor to track your VoiceOver cursor in
VoiceOver Utility.  Pressing the "5" key on the numeric keypad with Numpad
Commander turned on also counts as a "hardware click"; it will work in those
same cases where clicking a mouse or trackpad works when VO-Shift-Space and
VO-Space do not work to click a button.

Incidentally, I've read that you can now purchase the O'Reilly eBooks in
iBooks, but I don't think that you get the DAISY and PDF versions of the
book when you do so, and I don't believe you can use any discount codes.
The eBook bundle purchases you make directly from the O'Reilly site should
also update if there are any minor revisions or corrections, or additional
eBook formats made available.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

They are a great little machine, but although they can do everything,
Someone like me that wants power and portability they just aren't yet
suitable.

 I would prefer the new Toshiba R700  which has similar specs but better
processor, supports more ram,similar drive size if right model. 
The only problem is it's not a mac.

I have the previous generation MBA -- with an SS drive. It's got plenty of

what you will be doing.
It really is astonishingly light. When I first had the thing, I'd sometimes
check the bag when I was heading out just to be sure the Air was actually
inside -- it's that light. At home, it is usually on my lap, so its lack of
heft is a godsend there, too. It's no more delicate than a normal Macbook,
and I suspect the new model will be quite the same in that regard.
If you don't bring your laptop anywhere and if you generally use it on a
desk, there's probably no good reason for choosing an Air. And if you've got
the need for a Firewire port or something else that the MBA doesn't have, or
if you are constantly using some application that requires blazing fast
processor speed, the Air might not be the most logical computer for you.
But this thing definitely has its place. For me, that place is right here on
my lap.

Have you investigated if you go to your music folder in windows, not
sure if you are using windows xp or windows 7 or something else. Under
vista based systems like win 7, if you type music in the windows start
menu search box it should bring up your music library. Under there
should be an itunes folder. Within the itunes folder there are several
sub folders, but the one labeled itunes media or something with the
word media in it should have subfolders for all of your stuff. There
are also some other folders at the same level as the media folder that
may be useful. Under XP I think it would be under my documents and my
music under there where you would find the itunes stuff.

Since the tags and stuff is messed up, also the folder and file-names

Is it possible in some ways to revert to something that works?

Re: Introducing the new MacBook Air.

2010-10-22 Thread Scott Howell

The funny part of this discussion is the camp that needs more power. I used to 
think that faster processor and more ram was the ticket. I do not believe this 
is the case any longer. Where I believe the new Air will shine is in the SSD. I 
believe if your going to do any audio editing or run a couple VMs, you will 
need ram for sure, but I suspect the 2.33Ghz processor will be sufficient for 
most tasks. Storage of course will be an issue if you have a lot of data, but 
remember these machines are notebooks and not desktops. True most people are 
using their notebooks as desktops and I am one of those; however, for what I 
do, my machine is more than capable. In fact I would say my machine is over 
capable. I have a MBP with a 2.8Ghz processor, 4Gb ram, and 500Gb storage. I 
can run without any problems, the Mac OS, VMWare Fusion running xp for some 
coursework, a Linux VM, and on the Mac OS I am using AUdiobook Builder to 
convert books to a format suitable to play on my iPhone, surf the web, reading 
e-mail, and streaming/playing local audio within iTUnes and my machine is 
really not working all that hard. Well AUdiobook Builder does seem to make it 
sweat a little, but I notice no lag at all. So, I would suspect the Air at 2.33 
would likely do pretty well.
The thing to remember is where all the choke points are. The data shuffling 
in/out of the processor and hard disk reads and writes. If you speed up all the 
choke-points, I think you would find all of this becomes less of an issue. Does 
this make sense? I am not familiar with the other brands of machines some have 
mentioned, but are you truly comparing like hardware? DO these other machines 
have an SSD and is the architecture  the same? If your just comparing physical 
size, then you are not truly comparing like machines.

VO will not speak, possibly related to Audio Hijack Pro

2010-10-22 Thread Nothingvutlime

Hi all,
I launched Audio Hijack Pro while on Skype with someone yesterday and hijacked 
system audio. Vo was having issues with pretty much any program I went into. It 
was saying busy every time I tried to VO around. So I force quit AHP. VO 
stopped working, so I restarted. I heard my Skype and Adium sounds, signaling 
that both   programs had been launched successfully. I invoked screen curtain, 
and I could see that it was on. But no peep from VO, not even to say it was 
muted. I tried VO-f10, which I believe mutes and unmutes VO, but that didn't 
work. I'm honestly stuck. I force quit a few programs, no other ones which I 
remember by name. This is the only one I remember and the only one I think 
could have caused this mess.   My theory is that VO is still going to Sound 
Flour, and I don't know how to tell it to  stop. I can always ssh or sftp in 
and nuke my VO prefs. I'm pretty sure they're in Library. But I'm afraid of 
this having harmful affects. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: VO will not speak, possibly related to Audio Hijack Pro

2010-10-22 Thread Allison Manzino

Hi there,

THis happened when I forgot to quit Audio Hijack Pro. THe only way I could get 
VO to relaunch itself was to create another account. Since my Mac wasn't full 
of things at the time, this didn't  matter and wasn't a problem. The apple 
support team was stumped as to why this occurred. Now, every time I use Audio 
Hijack, after I finish recording, I end my  session, I always wait a few 
seconds, check the recordings in my docks, which is the folder I have all my AH 
stuff in, and then hit command Q while I'm in AH. I hope this helps. I have 
never had another problem with VO and AH again. Have a wonderful day and good 
luck getting this resolved. Please let me know if there is anything I  can do 
to help.

Musically,
Allison

removing voice memmos from the phone

2010-10-22 Thread Sarah Alawami

Hello all. I have tried this and forgot how to do it. How do I remove the voice 
memos from my phone? I cleared them from my library and hit sync but they are 
still there. I even tried unchecking voice memmos under music and syncing but 
they are still there. I have manually manage music off as I will not be able to 
sync my epub books that way. A bit of help please?

Thanks.

2010-10-22 Thread Nothingvutlime

HHmmm. I hadn't thought of creating another account. I will get Mom or Dad to 
help me with that later. One quick question though. When you had this issue, 
did you try loading vo from cd? Because that didn't work for me either. I'm 
wondering if there's a bigger problem.

Re: VO will not speak, possibly related to Audio Hijack Pro

2010-10-22 Thread Ricardo Walker

Hi,

The problem isn't VO relaunching.  VO is actually running.  The same thing 
happen to me earlier in the week.  The problem is your sounds are still being 
routed through soundflower.  To fix, go to system preferences/sounds.  Then 
press the output tab.  Then in the table of output options arrow up to the 
first choice.  Here are the exact steps if you need to do this with no feedback 
from voiceover.  Go to the menu bar with control F2 then press enter.  Now 
press the letter twice and press enter again.  Then tab once, and type in the 
word sound and press VO spacebar.  Now, press VO right arrow twice to go to the 
output tab and press VO spacebar.  After that, press VO command T to take you 
to the output table.  Now all you need to do is press the up arrow a few times 
to make sure your on the first item in the table.  Your sound should return at 
this point.

Hi Chenelle!
If you go to system prefs then keyboard button open with vo+space bar then 
scroll right until you get to use f1 f2 f3 as standard and check it vo+space 
bar!
then you should be done!

No I hadn't thought of loading VO from the CD, I like RIcardo's info, and will

Re: RE: Teaching Mac to sighted people

2010-10-22 Thread Esther


Hi Simon, 

O'Reilly should definitely take international credit cards.  

The only issue with VoiceOver that I ran into was that if I used VO-Space on the 
"Continue" button instead of clicking with VO-Shift-Space, the web page would wipe out my 
credit card entries as though I had made a mistake or omitted a field.  This was very reproducible. 
 As long as I clicked with VO-Shift-Space I was able to go through the purchase, and all the fields 
were filled in on the page for me to confirm my order.  They didn't ask for my credit card 
confirmation code.  I haven't applied all the most recent software updates.  However, I also tried 
this on another Mac (not my own), and started from scratch (didn't log in until prompted in the 
order process).  Again, the only place where I had any difficulty was if I used VO-Space on the 
"Continue" button instead of routing my mouse cursor with VO-Command-F5 and then clicking 
with VO-Shift-Space.  When I clicked with VO-Shift-Space, I was taken to the final page, where the 
only other thing I could have done was click the final button to complete the purchase and have my 
credit card charged.  If your credit card was one of the ones listed for selection, I see no reason 
why you should not be able to make your purchase.

Cheers,

Esther

Subject: Re: Teaching Mac to sighted people

Hi Simon,

When you have entered your credit card information, route your mouse to the
"Continue" button (with VO-Command-F5, if you do not have your mouse cursor
set to track your VoiceOver cursor) and use VO-Shift- Space to click the
button. You'll be taken to a "Confirm Order" page which should contain your
STANZACAT discount, if you entered the coupon code earlier. Click the
"Finish Order" button to complete your transaction.

If you ever encounter a situation where a button press does not seem to
"take" with VO-Space, try clicking the button. Technically, VO- Space should
perform the default action for any situation, which in this case is to click
the button. There are some cases where VO-Shift- Space (which I refer to as
a "software click") does not work, but where clicking with your trackpad or
mouse button ("hardware clicks") will work. Remember to first route your
mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor before you press your trackpad key (or
the whole trackpad in recent MacBook models) or mouse button to click, if
you have not set your mouse cursor to track your VoiceOver cursor in
VoiceOver Utility. Pressing the "5" key on the numeric keypad with Numpad
Commander turned on also counts as a "hardware click"; it will work in those
same cases where clicking a mouse or trackpad works when VO-Shift-Space and
VO-Space do not work to click a button.

Incidentally, I've read that you can now purchase the O'Reilly eBooks in
iBooks, but I don't think that you get the DAISY and PDF versions of the
book when you do so, and I don't believe you can use any discount codes.
The eBook bundle purchases you make directly from the O'Reilly site should
also update if there are any minor revisions or corrections, or additional
eBook formats made available.

HTH. Cheers,

Esther

And it also clears out my credit card details

I have checked with my bank and my cards fine to use internationally,

And it wont give me an error messge to refer to either.

Also, there is no place to put the 3 digit validation code, which a

restoring single folder from TIme Machine backup

2010-10-22 Thread Allison Manzino

Hi Mark and all,

I think I know how to restore a single folder from a time machine backup, the 
operative word being think. I think that all you have to do is access the drive 
you have your time machine backup on and open it, then you should be able to 
see the folders contained within your backup. I think all you need to do is 
command C to copy the folder and command v to paste the folder. I cannot take 
credit for this, as I think Ester posted this a few weeks back. I hope this 
helps. Have a wonderful evening.

Musically,
Allison

I used an Sirius USB 2.0 in the previous version of OS X, unfortunately, its no

anyway, if you need to Skype me, my Skype name is technomage-hawke.

Re: VO will not speak, possibly related to Audio Hijack Pro

2010-10-22 Thread Nothingvutlime

Wow, this is wonderful info. I've accidentally had audio going to sound flour 
quite a few times and needed sighted help to fix it. Now I don't have to do 
that anymore. But I don't think that problem you described is the one I'm 
facing. I can hear Adium and Skype sounds, just not VO, as stated before. I 
know Voiceover is running, because I can see the screen dim when I turn screen 
curtain on and off. I think I'm going to try Alison's trick and hope for the 
best.

Easy,

Just open your disk where the time machine backups are stored.  Then, navigate 
to the disk image and open it.  Inside here, you'll see all your time machien 
backups.  Open the backup you want.  Inside the backup, you'll find that you'll 
see exactly what your Mac hard drive looked like at the time of the backup.  
Open this and you will be able to navigate directly to the folder you want just 
exactly as if it had been on your actual drive.  Copy and paste as usual from 
here.

Yes, you can do that, but with the Itunes Music folder, I'm not sure if you can 
do that without re-choosing the Itunes library or some such procedure.  I fixed 
the Itunes screwup I made manually by renaming all the tracks to (roughly) 
their correct designations. :)

handytech Braillino and Iphone

2010-10-22 Thread Allison Manzino

Hi everyone,

I wanted to tell you that I finally received my Braillino yesterday afternoon. 
I was able to successfully pair it with my Macbook, but I cannot pair it with 
the Iphone. Does anyone have any suggestions? I go in to accessibility and 
VoiceOver on the Iphone tap Braille and it starts searching for devices, but 
doesn't find the Braillino. Any suggestions and tips would be most welcome. If 
this is the wrong list to post this to, I apologize to the moderators in 
advance.

Happily,
Allison

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?

2010-10-22 Thread James Mannion

I checked it out in the store and thought it was super cool. Am sort
of tempted to buy one, but can't really justify it yet. Sure the
IPhone can do everything the nano can and more, but for just using the
nano for things you would not have to worry about breaking anything.
You virtually would nto have to be concerned about doing anything to
the nano. It would fit in anything too. Unfortunate it can't network
stream things or do anything with bluetooth either.

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?

2010-10-22 Thread Scott Granados

Hi Isaac,

Sure first, the Sprint overdrive is about 60 per month.  That's pretty 
reasonable especially if you're in a 4G enabled city.  The plan has unlimited 
4G service so no cap, 3G is capped at 5GB per month.

How's that?

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?

2010-10-22 Thread Isaac Obie


Scott
That is excellent! thank you for that. I am thinking of doing the ipod touch 
after I learn itunes. I'd like something portable and something that I can 
do with a braille display since I am hard of hearing. I doubt the ipod'd 
have the power to be loud enough for my needs. I know very little about 
gestures. What's your take on this? Will the ipod touch be useful to me? I 
have a 12 cell braille display. Thanks.

Hi Isaac,

Sure first, the Sprint overdrive is about 60 per month.  That's pretty 
reasonable especially if you're in a 4G enabled city.  The plan has 
unlimited 4G service so no cap, 3G is capped at 5GB per month.

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?

2010-10-22 Thread Scott Granados

Hi,
I haven't used a braille display so maybe someone who has can speak up.

I do think it would be useful though.  Most of the apps aren't even music 
related or sound related at all.  There are all sorts of tools that you can use 
online ranging from simply checking the weather or stocks on up to the full web 
browser or restaurant finders and everything  inbetween.  Even OCR software 
although I personally have not used this.  
All the built in features are accessible unlike windows mobile devices. 
 Even the camera is useful.  Apple has done a very good job with the product.
