Re: drop box menu does not appear in short cut menu
You need to put them actually in ~/dropbox/public. sorry if I mistyped that path. I suck at that for now. Good luck.

the gns bluetooth gps receiver for apple products
Hi list, I just had a chance to test the gns bluetooth gps receiver for apple products. I tried it with the iphone 4 with the latest firmware. After a bit of fumbling around to understand what the touch technology was on the small device, which is a bit longer and thicker than the ipod nano 5g, i was pretty well surprised by it's intelligent design and ease of use. The touch technology is similar to apple's swipe gesture on a thin and long band of touch sensitive surface for turning the device on and back off. Swiping down for on and opposite for off. Nothing really gives a cue on its state. But the manual says that it will turn off automatically after 15 minutes when the bluetooth is turned off on the receiving device. I wish they had a setting of some sort which allowed a 5 minute sleep mode, but i'm just being a perfectionist. The pairing was seamless with no passcode to enter or buttons to press. Once it was paired, i opened voxtrek and i tried my location. It apparently just turned off once voxtrek tracked my position and we first thought it was a battery issue. So i turned my bluetooth off and back on again, and the device woke up and gave me an exact position with mere meters of error margin which honestly isn't verifiable since it was pretty damn accurate. The hardware specification says that its error margin hovers around 3 meters. A long shot as compared to my 100 meters with the iphone gps going solo. Also something to take note of. While perusing the net for some reviews and comparisons, i found out that channel capacity wasn't much of a defining factor as most gps receivers only use a maximum of 12 channels for accuracy. The 32 included in this product will then have some longevity, unless i want it to pin point me stuff at a near macro level which is in itself rather useful if you want to check up on your pet hanster's whereabouts by piggy backing the device on it. We also paired it to a different smartphone and it equally worked on the dot. don't know what else it might work on, maybe i'll try pairing it to a laptop and a microwave oven to stress test interferences and temperature. Joking for that latter one. The one thing i could comment on with this little thing is the plastic feel of it. When i read the article over the site. It talked about a slick design reminiscent of apple's impeccable form factor and choice of material, but it turns out to be a very fragile feeling thing. The material could have been better, like an anodized aluminium frame or something slightly sturdier than this soft feeling plastic You wouldn't imagine using it as a hammer anyway, and it fits snuggly anywhere in range of the iphone when walking out, backpack, pocket, even the lighter pocket on jeans. . Altogether, its pretty good and i'm anxious to get back to auckland to try it on navigon. . Next thing to do is to test it's mobile precision tomorrow as we are picking someone at a hotel we don't know. Will probably report back if anything exceptional happens or if we ended up out in the country side or the bottm of the city's river. I give it a good point in any case as my first gps augmenting experience.

Actually the latest channel count is up to 66 channels. the i-blue 737a+ some qstarz models and others have been using the 66 channel chipsets for quite a while. I have a Qstarz receiver attached to my keychain that has 66 channels. The more channels the faster the acquisition and more sensitive the receiver is. > Also keep in mind, the internal receiver on the iPhone as well as other phones is susceptible to all the electronic components within the device, this is why external receivers seem to work better. -- Chris G -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: the gns bluetooth gps receiver for apple products
Hi, I totally agree with you, but the point was that there are only 12 satellites being picked up at any time however the channel count, so until the full 66 channels are being used at full potential with 66 satellites i don't need that power, which itself would also suck up more energy. I don't believe either that 66 satellites would be roaming around an arc of about an 8th of the planet's perimeter. It would be like using 66 processors to try to increase broadband speed on a adsl which is limited by the internet backbone Of your district.value Best regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: wireless connection issue
Have you noticed this slowness with other wireless devices, have you tried connecting directly to the router via an ethernet cable, or have you perhaps tried disabling the WPA encryption as a test? It is difficult to diagnose this type of problem if you have not tried some of the steps I have mentioned. You have to determine if it is the machine, network, or ISP. hth, Scott On Oct 24, 2010, at 8:11 AM, chad baker wrote: > Hi lately my connection is been going really slow it didn't use to. > I have a secure connection using wpa. > i tried repairing disc permissions but no luck. > it takes a long time to load page in safari. > i reset it and no luck. > thanks > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: 64 bit or 32 bit Mac bootstrapped with W7
There is a way to change to 64-bit mode, but there is no reason to do so. You will not notice a significant change in performance and you may find some software or hardware no longer works. Not all drivers have been rewritten to run in 64-bit mode. Btw, yes, I ran in 64-bit mode for a while to see if there was any change and I did not notice anything at all. SO, I switched back and decided it was not worth the bother or potential incompatibility.

Jumping to different podcast feeds in Itunes
Hi all, I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday afternoon. I was just curious about something. I just tried to look at my recently downloaded podcasts, as I am subscribed to several feeds, I wanted to go through them indivudually. I recently updated to the newest version of Itunes, and cannot figure out how to jump to specific podcast feeds. It appears as a table instead of a list view. In the previous version of Itunes, I was able to sleect the podcast from the podcasts list by pressing VO and right arrow. Now all I can do is interact with the table. What am I doing wrong? Any assistance you could give me would be much appreciated. Thank you so much, and have a great day.

Intereacting with Podcast Scroll area in Itunes
Hi all, Well, it seems as though I answered my own question. I decided to post the steps here in case anyone has the same problem I did. In order to interact with the podcasts as a scroll area and not as a table, just VO right arrow over to Grid View Switcher and hit VO Space. Then when you VO right arrow over you should see something that says group by podcasts or group by categories. These are both radio buttons and you can select which one you want. I selected group by podcasts and now happily have my scroll area back. I'm sorry for the other post before, well you learn something new everyday.

In the previous version of Itunes, I was able to sleect the podcast from the podcasts list by pressing VO and right arrow. Now all I can do is interact with the table. What am I doing wrong? Any assistance you could give me would be much appreciated. Thank you so much, and have a great day.

iPass Connect on SnowLeopard
Is anyone successfully using this very useful piece of software on SnowLeopard with VoiceOver? iPass lets you connect to thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots around the world with an account. Once iPass Connect is running, there is supposed to be an icon for it on the menubar. Looks like this icon is stuck somewhere between the menus and the status menus and I can't get to it with VO with any of the commands I tried. VO+M, once, twice and thrice and the icon isn't in any of those lists. Any help is greatly appreciated.

keeping your place when a document is closed
Hi all, I'm looking for an application for the Mac that will let me read rtf files, stop reading and close a given file, then come back to it later and have it open at the point where I left off. the ability to add bookmarks would be nice, but the main feature I want is for the application to keep the place in the file where reading stopped. I know I can accomplish this with a text editor by inserting, say *** at the point where I stop and then searching for that group of symbols when I open the document the next time. But I'd prefer not to have to remember to do that all the time. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Password protected documents
Hi everyone, Earlier this month Dan gave information on using disk utility to create an .dmg file or folder for this purpose. I looked at the file menu under disk utility and read the help file but still couldn't figure out how to do this. I guess I want to create a folder in which I could place one or more files. If someone could give me some directions on this, I'd appreciate it. I don't quite understand the concept of the .dmg file/folder.

Re: the gns bluetooth gps receiver for apple products
Actually, that's not quite correct. There are discussions about establishing interoperability between the various systems. Remember it's not just the US who has a GPS network any more. The Russians I believe have a system as do the folks in India and China. These are in various states of development but I believe in all cases at least some devices have been deployed to space. The US is also pushing out a new GPS standard and I haven't kept track where that project is but it would be much more advanced. I think in the future you'll systems that can use som or all of these options at once. The 32 channel stuff still works nicely but there are probably more improvements in the new 66 channel other than channel count. I would assume better receivers and error correction would be included.

Re: wireless connection issue
Have you tried pinging the local gateway IP from your host. What are the round trip times. Use the -t poption and let it run for a bit are there any packets dropped? If so you may have either someone trying to break in to your wireless using packet injection and or a word attack or you could have interfearance with other networks. Try changing your wireless channel in your router. If your devices support it use wpa2 only with aes and disable the other features. Also use N only if your devices support it if not disable the extra wireless protection option usually found under advanced wireless. If you don't have packet loss and your ping round trip time is in the 1 - 4 MS range you have a problem with your ISP. Reset your modem and router and call your provider if it continues. Hope that helps.

Re: the gns bluetooth gps receiver for apple products
As you say it yourself, it boils down to interoperability and future projects. The new features aren't there yet, and i was looking for a product which works out of the box for my iphone. Furthermore, i don't know whether the 66 channel devices have those features you mention, if they require a firmware update on the device itself, or if its part of the network packet sending features. If it is the latter, those extra satellites would join the party, but still 32 channels is more than enough for another few years. I take this device as something which works seamlessly with my apple product and provides me the necessary precision with less than half of it's capacity used, with some of the features coming at a later date. This said, if anyone was able to connect a different bluetooth receiver on his/her iphone or ipad, i'm all for checking it out too.

Reading eBooks with the Kobo eReader app [was Re: Very frustrated about kobobooks.]
Hi Annie, You wrote: I am very frustrated about kobobooks, to me it does not seem to work well. I am a braille reader, and I am not using much speech, I was so glad, when i heard about kobobooks. I bought a book, that I would love to read, but I got very disappointed, the app constantly says that internet connection is timed out. And it is not very accessible. I did not give up, so I downloaded the book, I have bought to my mac, and then I have hoped, that I could transfer it to ibooks, that works quite well for me. But that is not possible because of the protected file, the file is an acsm file. Can I do anything at all, do any of you who are reading braille have any experiences with kobobooks. Best regards Annie. I don't use a Braille reader, but I am able to read Kobo books with either VoiceOver gestures or with Bluetooth keyboard control. This app used to work more easily for VoiceOver users when there was only an iPhone version. It's when they introduced an iPad version, and then integrated the iPad and iPhone versions into a single universal binary that people encountered accessibility problems. Once you get the setup configured you should be able to use the Kobo eReader app fairly easily. The problem is that the setup process can be utterly opaque to new users, and Kobo keeps changing the the reader control interface for getting to the settings menu for making the initial set up change. The good thing is that once you've made the set up change, you don't have to worry about the successive changes in how to get to the settings menu in each successive version release of the app. (So far, this format has changed with each of the last three releases since the app became accessible again.) The current version of the Kobo eReader app (version 3.5, released October 7, 2010) actually improved the method of accessing the eBook table of contents by making it easier to get to, so it's worth describing the changes, and I'll cc these instructions to the macvisionaries list. At the same time, they've now mislabeled two of the buttons -- and one of the mislabeled buttons is the one that new VoiceOver users need to get to in order to make the initial set up change. You can't read a book with DRM that you purchased through Kobo in iBooks or in any other app on an iDevice or computer (except for using the desktop reader for Adobe Digitial Editions, which is not accessible to software on any platform, PC or Mac). However, you can transfer (DRM-free) eBooks directly to your library for the Kobo eReader app through Drop box or through a Safari download without having to add the ePub files to your iTunes library and sync, as an alternate way to get the books onto your iDevice. (This isn't possible with iBooks, but multiple ways to directly download eBooks to your device has been a feature of the Stanza app for some time.) Here's the overview: when you do a read all gesture (two finger flick down to read all from the current point or two finger flick up to read all from the top of the page), or its counterpart keyboard shortcut (VO-A to read from current point or VO-B to read from top of page), VoiceOver reads to the end of the chapter and stops. This is true in other eBook reading apps as well. In order to avoid having to toggle VoiceOver off at the end of each chapter and having to flick right to advance to the next chapter, then toggle VoiceOver on again, you need to change the default page transition style (which I think is now set to "Fade") to "Scrolling". When "Scrolling" is used, the start of each chapter has a pair of links that VoiceOver announces as "link image" before the text. Activating (with double tap gesture or VO- Space keyboard shortcut) the "link image" in the top left corner of the screen moves you to the previous chapter, while activating the "link image" in the top right corner of the screen moves you to the next chapter. (The first or last chapter of a book will only have one link instead of a pair.) Similarly, at the end of each chapter there will be a corresponding pair of links, and activating the "link image" in the bottom left corner of the screen moves you to the previous chapter. I believe that in a previous interaction with Kobo, it was suggested that they label these links as "Previous Chapter" or "Next Chapter", but as long as you understand the link layout and action, these links are usable. In the case of moving forwards by a chapter using the links at the start of a chapter, focus moves to the correspondingly positioned "link image" on the new screen (e.g., if you double tapped on the link in the top right corner of chapter 1, you'll be positioned at the link in the top right corner of chapter 2, and can start reading with either a two finger flick down (from the current point) or with a two finger flick up (from top of page)
continuous reading in text edit
A friend just sent me a 9-page document, an rtf file that came up in text edit when I clicked on the attachment. If I press vo-a the first page is read, and then reading stops. I press vo-a again and page 2 is read, and so on until the end of the document. I would expect vo-a to read and keep on reading without me needing to press vo-a again after each page is completed. Is there some setting I can change in text edit to make that happen?

recovering files from my DM-520
Hi guys and gals, I've got an olympus DM-520, and I accidentally deleted a couple of files. I want to recover them, but I can't seem to find a Mac program to do it. I waded through a bunch of junk on google, but nothing immediately leapt out, so I thought I'd ask here.

Re: recovering files from my DM-520
I deleted them from the DM-520 itself. There is no trash that I know of, but I also know that flash memory doesn't actually delete files until they're overwritten with other data. I've been careful not to do that since this morning. I'm hoping there is a program that works well on the mac that can recover that data.

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
